the attitude is one of expectancy, and until we hear further particulars of the embarrassments in Great Britain there will be a good deal of anxious suspense.What other banks and firms will be pulled down in the fall of the Great Western and South Wales District remains to be seen, but as the agencies of the bank were numerous throughout the South Wales mining district, it is to be ieared that some of the iron masters and colliery proprietors, who have doubtless been carried, or at any rate greatly assisted, by the bank must succumb, and the distress is likely to be very wide spread.Consols to-day are weak, at 94\t1-16 for money, 94 5-16 for account.New York advices quote Gold at J prem, and Sterling Exchange steady at $4.823.Here the market for Sterling Exchange is quiet at 8j /@ 8 5-16 between banks, and 83 (a) 8§ for Counter transactions ;

Dr.Melgar, after the crime, seized the assassin, the guard standing passively by, but he escaped, and was only captured after a long pursuit.His Excellency, the President, was much affected by the affair, and hastened to Don Pedro\u2019s side, exclaiming \u201c Shame ! shame ! \u201d and demanding to know why the assassin was permitted to live.He ordered the entire guard under arrest ; he also promoted the sergeant who captured the assassin.When the shot was heard the sergeant of the guard at the Chamber of Deputies went with his rifle into the plazauela and fired, two or thiee soldiers of the guard following.The Captain of the guard drew his sword, making use of it, and subdued his men, who were in complete disorder.The assassin, Montoya, has been seven years in the regiment and never gave the slightest reason for supposing him capable of committing such a crime.It is said that the assassin confessed that the assassination formed part of a conspiracy in which almost all the sergeants of the Pichincha battalion and some of the officers are implicated.He states he was engaged to take part in it by a sergeant named Gomez Sanchez, who offered to assist him in perpetrating the crime, but who at the last moment left him.UNITFiD STATES.TORO IN TO.THE NEW LOAN.DECORATED.NARROW ESCAPE.LOOKING AFTER THE POOR.OFF TO THE CAPE.THE ABDUCTION CASE.THE MAYORALTY.A LONG LEASE.Tokonto, Dec.9\u2014A special by cable to the Globe says, the failure of the new Canadian loan is partly owing to the rumours of further financial difficulties and paitly to the fact that instalments of Egyptian loans and the treasury bills tendered for last week had to be paid on the tame day, money was consequently very scarce.The portion of the loan untendered for represents nearly the whole of new money the Canadian Government expected to get by the loan.The remainder is required for the redemptiou of maturing six per cent, bonds.The Times in an editorial suggests that should the loan not be all readily tendered for, the Canadian banks, under advances to the Government, might hold over the bonds till a more favourable opportunity.The French Government conferred the Legion

paying the war expenses, which were estimated at less than 1,250.000 pounds for the present financial year.Lord Oranbrook declared the Government assumed full responsibility for Lord Lytton.There was not room for both England and Bussia in Afghan.The Ameer\u2019s letter was no answer to England\u2019s ultimatum, out a mere evasion.England musr, be paramount in Afghanistan, which must be a friendly janitor to the doors of India, or England must hold the key herself.The full text of the Ameer\u2019s reply to the Yiceroy of India\u2019s Ultimatum is published.The Ameer says with regard to expressions used by Your Excellency referring to the friendly character of the mission and the good will of the British Government I leave it to Your Excellency to decide whether any reliance can be placed upon good will evidenced by words only ; but if on tbe other band good will really consists of deeds, then it has not been manifested by various wishes expressed and proposals made by tbe British officials during the past few years, to officials of this God-granted Government, proposals which from their nature it was impossible for them to comply with.The Ameer instances the British demand for the release of his im-prisoned son Yakoob Khan a.s a condition of British friendship, and asserts there are several other grounds of complaint which contain no evidence of good will ; hut which were effective in increas ng the aversion and appiehen-sion already entertained by subjects of this God-granted Government.The Ameer also says :\u2014\u201c I assure Your Excellency the officials of this God-granted Government, in repulsing the Mission, were not influenced by any hostile or inimical feelings towards tue British Government, nor did they intend ihat any usait or affront should be offered; but phey were afraid the independence of this government might be affected by the arrival of tbe Mission, and that the friendship which has now existed between the two Governments for several years might be annihilated.The Ameer states the paragraph in the Vice-Boy\u2019s letter saying \u201c The Ameer would be held responsible for any injury that might beL.ll tbe tribes who acted as guides to the Mission justified tbe apprehensions of tbe people of Afghanistan.Had th» object of the Mission been really friendly and no force or threats of violence used, the Mission would, as a Blatter of course, have been allowed free passage.The Ameer declarei, his Government cherishes no hostility towards the Biitrsh Government,land sajs if the British Governmeot shoul.i desire to send a purely friendly and temporary mission to this country with asm-all escort not exceeding 20 or 20 members, similar to teat which attended the Kas-siaia mission, this servant of God will not opp< seits progress.Viscount Halifax moved to concurring in the Government.Lord Lawrence, formerly Goverpor-General of ludla, deprecated pushing forward the frontier under any circumstances.He thought war should be concluded speedily ; nothing should be exacted from the Afghans, and they should be assured of aid against foreign invasion.If England did not pay all the costs of the war there would be indignation and despair in India.Lord Derby said the Government m only summoning Parliament after war was declared placed the country, which professed to be self governing, in a peculiar position.He pointed to the dif-^erence in the Government\u2019s attitude towards the Ame.-r of Afghanistan and towards Bussia.He was of opinion that there bad never been any clear wish to avoid war, and the war was not unconnected with projects for the rectification of the frontier.Lord Carnarvon declared war was ir-reconciliable with any idea of justice, and the policy in furtherance ot which it had been undertaken was dangerous and delusive.The debate was ad- ¦^luthe House of Commons Withread moved a resolution disapproving of the conduct of the Government regarding Afghanistan.He said \u201c the Govern-ment had adopted a new pobcy against the advice of all experienced officials» concealed it from Parliament and at tempted to carry it out by threats and
