The -entire military force ia- the em- ployment of the Ameer, with exception oe a very small number of his personal. relatives, is now advancing to meet the British column ander Gen. Roberts, Veiy heavy fighting ,Is eaeteoted, and, should the Afghans reacheien. Roberts' oommsnd in its comparatively week •oonditiou it is feared he may be defeat- ed, at,d uerhaps the annihilation of the 'Briiielotroops. result, The' mutineers eoinpletely sacked Cahill before leaving, and plundered not'ottly all the publics buildiuge, but the residences of retainers of the court and the wealthy citizens of the plates. This time taken in connection with that trrritarnitted in a. former dispatch. so strengthens the belief that Russian intrigues are at the bottom of the ate fitir that it is believed Earl Beconsfield will demaud of the Russian ambassador iu London an explanationof the suspi- cious ciroumstancee attending the out- break, and substantial guarantees against any further interference on the putt of Russia in Afghan. Match excitement was caused in high political circles in Loudon by the re- ception of news' that the Russian ex- pedition to Mery had resumed its r ro- gress and was approaching the Afghan frontier. It is recalled here that when the English Government netted an ex- planatioo from • the Russian Arimini• aeration of this ntovet!ient,somemonths ago, pneitive assurances were given that the expedition was simply ono nn- dertaken.in the interest of geographical service, and that it was entirely devoid •uf-p elitical signifionne'. The anti -Rus- sian press here, ae well as on the con- tinent, distrusted the sincerity of those - assurances, bat the foreign office hied no choice left but to accept them se made in gond faith, particularly as they were followed by a suspension of oper.itions of the expedition and ar- rangetuents,rnade leading to an -impres- sion tilat its return to Russin was`con- templated. Now:; however, thatthis expedition has •again proved for yard with, as it is believed, strong reinforce meets. belief in the insincerity of Rus- sia .increases, and t,be suspicion that the deplorable outbi•eatc at -Cabot was instigated by Russia grows stronger. The Sbikarponr merchants trading witch General Asia report the revolt in Csbul dud to RessiaD intrigues. Rus- sian agents have been most active at Herat. Theyehavo for some months past urged the Ameer's brother to de- clare against him, promising the sup- port of t he- Iierateer regiments. They were chit god by the Alxieor's brother with beii g the (ense': of the revolt agnihst the Ameer and England. The authorities of Lndia have been notified tliat the Dragoons and Lancers. two regimental of inlrtntry and tate bat• terie3 of a,rt illery will arrive from Natal before the 5th of N '•vember. A despatch from. Kohat says General., Roberts only left: that town ;.for the fl• ;nt on the 10lr, and cannot, tlipte- fore, yet be making a dash for titi"iiul, as • befote iriflmatefl.

The die,. quietude among the border tribes ie in crsasiug, and it is feared that the 'Ameer- has already alienated himse']f from his alliance. A dispatch -from Ali Kehyl gives an account of the messaore at Cabul. Foue thousand men attacked the Em- bassy. Mutineers brought up artillery against it. Major Cavagnari was stab- bed in several places, eat all the bodies. of the dead were mutilated. The Af- gen Iles exceeds 800. - TheAmeerhad no other troupe who remained faithfnl, but made no efforts to interfere owing to intimidation by the priests. A telegram from Lahore reports that the Ameer begged for the lies of the members of the 'I.4 mbasey. It is stated that the Indian Govern- ment has not yet asked for reinforce- ments, but the term of service of troops in India, whose time has expire,], is to be extended. The St. Petersburg Gazette warns its readers against the treioherons asser- tion that it is necessary for Englat,d to conquer Afghanistan. It says that Eng- land has always been a deadly euemy of Rnssia. The policy of Russia in Asia can only consist of reprisals against England,. It is neoecsary to exep1 thel British from .Central Asia. Tats -can now be done by sending 20,000 Rnssi- ane to defend Afghanistan. Now is the favorable tnnmeut to free Russia's fon- tier forever from.dauger oil the part of England.. . A body of'rngtinnue Afghans have gone to Suoinut,a district east of Gliuz•. ren, hoping to incite the tribes there to attack the British bank in the Shutar- garden Pass. - The Ameer 'having addressed a letter to the Indian Government after the lntbreak at °abut, testifying to his friendship for the British,Gen. Roberts has been instructed to call upon the Ameer to prove his sincerity by send. ing a deputation .of oonfidesntiel repre- sentatives invested with full Mowers to communicate with ltubertg.

OONFLDENCE GAME AGAIN PLAYED —ARREST OF THE SWINDLER, [Prom the Dettott Free' Press.] Among tho many persons who asked audience of Police Superintendent Rog- ers yesterday was Wm. McLean, of 1'Ianitoua. He said he had only arrived from Montreal, ou his way llorne, and wanted to have a man arrested who had swin,iledhim out ' of $108. The method employed by the swindler dif- fered elightly from . the venerable but still successful freight -bill .scheme, and it will be* a oirouinstantial relation. Soon after leaving-Mt>:ntreal McLean was accosted by a strauger six feet tall, of slender figure, light hair, long clean shaven face and light clothes, intend- ing over -coat. He • informed McLean that he was a Detroit importer of fanny goods; but said nothing about the de• tails of his tipsiness except such things as led the Manitubau-.to betievb that he had fund a°millionaire aoq'iaintanee: He was liberal in the distribution of good cigars, paid for meals with -an air of royal indifference to their post and wade himself generally agreeable, They arrived in Dotroit about 2 o'clock yesterday afternoon and went directly to the Hotel Henry, where they had dinner.. They afterward came down town and -entered the City Hall. The importer told McLean that the build?ng was a bonded warehouse and requested him to wait on the first floor Until he could go up stairs, and pay the duties on au invoice of geode. McLean, of oonrse, complied and in a few minutes the stranger returned with a $1.000 bond in hie hand, which said the ware- houseman could not break, and asked McLean to lend him some money. The unsuspecting Manitoban handed er $108, and a fellow -traveler named rJ6hn McClellan produced $20, both of whichurns'the 'confidence man took hed started off again, saying he would retu`rn in ton minntes. • The coufidenoe man dM not return. But about 7 o'clock in. the evening- Patrulmea Mnrnetme ,land Martin ar- rested a man answering the descriptio given of the confidence operator. When brought to the Central Police Station the prisoner gave' li a name as James Crawford, and claimed to be atelegraph operator. At tits station he was tun• fronted by McLean and lt%Ulellan, both of whole identified hire witbolut hesitation. Acnordingiy Crawford was held on . a charge of obtaining a money cutler false pretenses. - Arrest of Supposed Kidnappers..

PROF, PROCTOR, THE EN'hGLISH SCIENTIST, RIDKULES THE NOTION TuAT THE EARTH IS IN DANGER FROM PLANET= ARV MOVEMETS. A. writer in the Rochester (N. Y.) Democrat and Gtkronicle (probably Prof. Swift, the astronomer, of the university of that place) says there ie serious trouble in the giant planet Jupiter, which is staining so brilliantly these nights: in the eastern beaveus. Tele- scope, observation shows that a great spot,. estimated to be .18,000 miles it: diameter, is cduspicuous on the planet's disc. It has been visible for two years says M. Tronvelot, of Cambridge,Mess,, although its appearance had not been geueru,lly known until recently. , It is probable that on the fir t discovery of the spot the color was not strougly pronounced, or it wield have been more generally observed. Dr.. Swift, of Rochester, saw the spot for the first time only a few weeks ago. The only explanation thus far elven is that there, is a tent in the cloud cov- ering Jupiter revealing the red•hotbody. of the planet. Thie explanation hardly explains, although 1t 1- now generally cenoedetl that Jupiter is it glowing mass, ani shines partly by his own light. Many reinarksble changes have recently taken plebe in the appearauoo cf Jupiter. Those who search for the red spot cannot -fell to notice the white cloud -111e 'spots between the great cop, per -colored equatorial belts.: The great •'' central belt seems to be broken up in- to white cloud masses Tying at intervals aloug the -Joviitn equator. The copper color of the outer belts extends in some, places across the equatorial liegioi a, usually occupied by a bright belt of creamy white. North end south of the 'great equatorial belts a+id about half way to the pules are narrow, irregnler salmon eoiore t belts that present a . very beautiful appearance. The blue coloring about the poles seem less pre- ' nonnced than usual.e • It is probable that in the mighty changes going on .its Jupiter, adds the Chronicle, we are witnessing thepheno- mene of the world -growth that the giant planet is slowly undergoing. PROF. PROCTOR'S VIEWS. "I have received so mtiny 'letters," says Mr. R. A. Proctor; the Rnglissli astronomer, in the late number of. the Newcastle (Eng.) Daily Chronicle, "ask- ing me what truth' there may be in the announcement that terrible -trouble(' are to he brought upon the earth by the planetary movements between 1880 and 1887, that I suppose there really roust be a considerable section of the people oeetltis country who really believe - in these preposterous pl'ediatien9, But in so far as snob predictions (save tee mark 1) are based on the idea that the planetsirefluence the sun's phototlihere, I may stay so mull as this, that instea- of fhb nt planets, Jupiter, Saturn, 'Cretins' and Nepatrol being the chief solar disturbers, even accoreitrg t_o those students of science who mantle". this. theory. Venus would be end is m - t powerful than any of those planets, n our earth more powerful than the i'• outermost of the giant planets, T • Ibis it it only neeessaly to rennt• that the tele raising power of a or other orb (that being the ntttnru c,f the influertce as timed, according to this theory), does tot diminish as the square of the distance increases. Thus patting Saturn's distelice at only 0, in- stead of 01 (thrat ttf the earth a4 iitlity) and the mass of Saturn nt 00 times the earth's, Saturn's influence would be to the earth's as 90 to the cubo of 9; that is at 90 to 729, or less - thane. of the earth's. Jupiter weel'l exec led the earth's (roughly), as 800 exceeds tile cube of 5, or as 12 exceeds 5; but . would be far. less thee that of Manna.
