The debate m the House of Commons, which begau last night, continued until 1 p.m. to-day. Lord Hartington urged the Irish members to proceed to the consideration of the Vote 1 oiP supply, assuring them that they were mistaken if they thought to wrinc pUd ore* from the Government by pbstruetiag the Government supply.

Of the deficit, Jb.e ;said.'£3 i 50b,000 remains to be covered thir year, A loan had already been.au^thorised for productive works, . the proceeds of which are to; be devoted to the purpose. It was also intended to reduce the drawings iia y lndia, but no addition to the Indian debt | would be be made if it were possible to avoid it. The statement regarding the Imperial contribution to the war expenses of India must' be de-> ferred untillthtV complete cost of the war was oertainl^tHißiresult of the Imperial policy, and therefore assistance to Indif,from the Imperial resources necesiary. ,■/' A telegram, datid St, Petersburg, 25th August, says :-r-The Indian prince, R,amichundar, for some time resident at, this capital, who is related to the. notorious Nana Sahib, has again appeared as the friend $nd adviser- of Abdul Rahman Shan, to meet whom he is for. the second time on his way; to Afghaniston. The suspicious which which his former movements m Russian iatrigues. in;Afghans|jan r will: probably only be increased by tlielatest~advices about him. Ramichundar intends to go Teheran on his way to the Ameer's 'head, quarters. He says the Ameer finds no ; sympathy at Teheran. Persian officials regard him as an instrument 'of Rustia. They are also highly dupleased at Skobeloff's movements *;,;<i(;3t the Turmans, seeing therein danger tojHorat, which the Shah hopes to annex.

A man, supposed, to be St. Aubrey C. Ang«ro, a correspondent of the Liverpool Courier, who was with Prince Napoleon ia Zululand when the latter was killed, found dead beside the Union Pacific Railroad wai track on the sth August. He had been run over by the cars, and ended his life by shooting himself through the heart. Deceased had been writing up the West for his paper. Good crops are reported from all parts of the United States. Our commercial world has been somewhat ifcarlled by the arrival of the steamer Hoo* Chung, direct from China, the first pioneer ressel of an exclusively Chinese line of traders.; .The experiment of Connecting New York With London by telephone is to be tried, Uiing the French cable for the purpose. ' TKe New York Tribune, man article on the commercial marine of the United States .says : — " Wbile England employs 424 firstclass steamers ia the foreign trade of tbe United States, we employ only about 61 ourselves, and leaving out the Cuba and Mexican trade, only 15 or 16. The figures ar» startling, and the outlook is discouraging." A convention has been called to discuss the question, and wilt meet at Boston on the 6th October. It is estimated that the 200,000 Americans who have gone abroad this season hare spent and left m England 10,000,000d01. Jofin Buchanan, Dean of th« Medical College, Philadelphia, arrested undercharges for fraudulent issue of medical diplomas, attempted suicide by drowning, Oncsf his diplomas was issued to a " Doctor" Wright who certified a case of death as " collary infantum." Buchanan is now m gaol m Detroit. Over 100 new claims of gold and silver discoveries hays been filed within the past year m the Secretary of State's office m New York- They are all located m Hamilton, Fulton, and Saratoga counties, on the southern edge of the Adriandack wilderness. The workings it is said will co»t moi-e than the result comes to. The nevr trana-Confvnental railway from San Francisco and Gulf of California fee New Orleans and St. Louis, will, it is conGdently expected, be completed and iv running ordir by the end of 1882. The activity of railway building m the South-West is remarkable, and soon the whole of the interior of Mex'co will be opened up. . Powell, the English pedestrian, is challenged by an American to contest for the Astley belt, and has accepted. Bpyd has accepted Elliot's challenge to row over the Tyne course next February, for £100 to £200 a- side. An.immense Financial Conclave of Knight Templars was held m Chicago on 19th August. Including the wives and children of jtbe Knights, there were 100,000 visitors on the occasion. There were delegates from, every city and territory m the States. Dr. Tanner, the forty days faster, seems, so far, none the worse for the experiment, i and is rapidly gaining flesh. His divorced wife, now m Paris, declares that Tanner is ! a fraud, and takes nourishment m a liquid form. The French papers laugh at the Americans for their credulity, * In the last clearing house report all the citien show an imp)ovement except San Franoisco. This is clue to an almost complete paralysis of stock business for some months past. A filibustering scheme is gaininf headway m Texas. Lago numbers of men are there banded together, whose purpose it is to wrest from the Mexican Government the States of Somra, Chihuahua, and San Carlos, m the north-western part of tbe Republic, and to convert them into an independent confederacy. Meantime General Ord, the American Officer m command at Rio G-ronde, is close by watohing the movements, and the Mexicans are reported to be also ready to give the fllibusterers a warm reception. The influence of Chinese labor may be estimated when it is stated that so far as the cigar trade is concerned, San Francisco manufacturers employing Chinese find a profit m importing tobacco from the Bust, . and returning it' m the shape of cigars. One million were exp.ortad during the month of August,
