He found that he had stopped at a place called Slape Stones; but, after a abort rest, the twain set off home to 8nilesworth together.
Tbey appear to have had a fearful straggle in the enow, the story of the terrible night's experience being concluded by tbe evidence of Mr. Charles Mintoft, residing at Dale Head, Arkendale, who deposed that when he went out uf his house on the morning of the 7th mat. he saw a strange horse in his intack." He went to the top of the bill, and there saw a man. who shouted Lost Lost and then fell backwards over into tbe snow.

W. Summers, speaking at Stair-bridge yesterday, said that never since the Ministry came into pover had tbe Liberals occupied so strong a position aa at present. Parliament had pledged itself to give household franchise to the counties, but ss that would involve an appeal to the constituencies, they should first deal with other measures before tbey brought this Parliament to an end, and thus make best use of the large Liberal majority at their command. MR. RATHBONE, M.P., ON IRELAND.
Speaking yes-Onlay at the annual meeting of the Vale of Conway Liberal Association, Mr. Bath bone remarked that Conservatives were in a strange state of indecision as to their leader and policy.

Yolland, who held the Board of Trade inquiry, considered tbat the subsidence of the north arch was due to the wet weather and the construction of a siding in April last.

Tbe mniour that Lord John Manners is in the inuring for the Conservative leadership, should it cfirlonstely become vacant, is really not worthy of mitsit.

Toe second half of the Egyptian force under orders for the Soudan has left Cairo. The Staff will follow tomorrow.
Arabi and his companions in exile have received aa intimation from the Egyptian Government to hold themselves in readiness to start within ten days hence. An allowance will be granted to them out of their confiscated properties. The amount has not yet been fixed, but it will not exceed what is absolutely necessary for their maintenance. The property belonging to the wives of the prisoners will not be eonfijcsteL It is believed in official circles that the leniency shown to Arabi has already produced a good effect among the Arab population, as the exasperation manifested on this account by the upper classes among the Mahommedans and by tbe European population is aot shared by the majority of the fellaheen aad the Arab inhabitants in the towns. Pasis, Wednesday.
The Saiioaal, in an article on the affairs of Egypt, remarks that if France had co-operated with England the differences between the two powers would now be more acute than they are under present circ*mstances, and would in fact have degenerated into a rupture. It expresses the opinion that the existence of a large European colony in Egypt will prevent England from taking possession of the country as she did of India, and goes on to criticise the clumsiness of English policy, which has resulted in all the foreign residents in Egypt being already grouped together in hostility to England. Egypt, it observes in conclusion, cannot be left to one power only, even if all the others are excluded. Ceoiral -SVkj Telegram. Cairo, Wednesday.
The natives still refuse to believe that Arabi ia a prisoner.
