In this it Is Btntcct that Oeneral Konmrell'was nvvnre at as enrly a ilute us the 28th of March et the understanding ngreetl upon en March 17th, botuecn Russia and Kngliind. According te the terms or this understanding Lngland was te deter the Afghans, ami the cvar was te deter his troops from ndvaiicitig beyond the positions they then respectively held until Heme subsequent agreement about the dom.ircatien of the Atgh.tu lnmtier could be reached between thu two governments. The bdttloeu the Ktishk wus fought, therolero, sev end days after General Konurell had bren inade aware el the ngieeiueut U net advance. It will be remembered thatCui taln Yates, a British efllcer, who witnessed the battle, was assured by a Kussi.-m elllcer who commanded in the tight that he knew nothing et the understanding of the 17th of March, Sir 1'eter Lumsdcu's present report iippcars le warrant the iiilercuce thatw1i.it thatw1i.it thatw1i.it over Goneral KoiimrefT knew elllci illy about HU Petersburg's agreement with Louden he kept te himself. air. Gladstone being asked if the govern ment had protested against the recent eccu patien Ol 1'CIIJllCll e.v his establishment el njdcli by General Komarell and a iuis.sl.in administra tien there, answered that the unv eminent had net yet made cither occurrence a subject el official communication xvlth Russia 'lliu goveniment was awaiting further informa tion, the premier Bald, concerning thoie events. Continuing, Mr. Glailstone said : " We asked Sir Fetor LuniBden for a full and con secutive account of the events of the .10th of March (the day the baltle en the Kushk was fought). A telegram from liiin lias arrived Hince we sent our request. This telegram is dated at Terpirl, en April 13th. It is in cipher, and is new being deciphered. We Hindi be unable te nay nnV thing lurthcr upon this branch of the subject until this dispatch is fully deciphered. " The tact that the Russian commander w as awaroefthoagroemcut or the 17th of Match before the 30th of March, and the question as te whether or net he acted upon instructions or contrary te Instructions concerning that agreement, would form the subject el future communications between the government and Russia. In regard te the reported estab lishment by the Russians of administration at Penidch, the government knew nothing eillclally, and mustavvaitfuller Information.'' Mr. Gladstone concluded by saying : "The government will en Monday or Tuesday next ask the Heuse te KUKtieu a vete of credit. When this is requested we will state hew much money is wanted and vfli.it it Is w anted fur, and then shall probably be able te cover the entire question fully." Lord L'dinend Fitzinauricc, mulct leieigu secrctaiy, In answer lean inlcnogatery put by Hir Station!

On the main question of its place in the public schools ivs a text book, we leel con vinced from actual experience in the school room ; that It Is unwise, injudicious and bur densome ; that the tune spent en a cursory study el the ellect of alcoholic liquors en thu human system la that much time wasted; that a thorough study of the subject is im possible; that the time devoted te that study could with mero profit te the pupil lie placed en arithmetic, grammar, orthography or 801110 ether common school study, that is of Heme practical use in after life; that a thorough knowledge el the elleets of alco holic liquors acquired by study has never saved a single individual Irem inebriety; that the daily object lessens w hicli our child ren (joe en the '.street., and which paint in mero vivid colors its horrors than 1.111 any text book, liave liltle or no ellect en out youth.
