Lotioma July. 28. -There was deep dis- mayand general consternation this mon- ngi n the House a Commons when Lord Hartington, Seoretary of State ter India, arose ia his seat aad iu a voice tremulous with emotion anneuncen what he had rea. son to believe was a terrible calamity and bereavement to the whole British empire. He said he Lacljust re- moved a despatch oonveying the frightful intelligence of the complete ztuihi- lation near Candahar of the brigade of the gallant General Burrows. Whether that officer was among the slain he could not then say, as he had received no further infOrrnation, but was in hearty expectation of getting further and full particulars. He • continued -I am sorry to say that the ooly news we have received respecting General , Burrows' expedition Las been telegraphic, therefore I am no able to give any details as to the composition of his force. I he- lieve, however, that it consisted of a " brigade, but what the brigade was com- posed of I am unable to state. It is pro. ba,ble that I may receive fuller details, and • there may possibly be.some details at the • War Office as to the coraposition of the . brigade and the amount of the fcirce under General Burrows' command, I need not say that if I have,any further coramunica. tion to make to the House I wilido so be- fore it rises this morning. • - When the news was annouticed in the House during the morning sessioa by Lord Hartington very few members were in their .places. Those who were present ware deeply Moved, and as the noble lord co eluded his statement, startlin in s • brevity, a, low murmur which seen like a groan ran through the House. Other. • • wise -there was no demonstration a feeling. ' But the facers of the members looked grave, and little groups gathered on the 1S:similes and in the lobbies: to discuss the terrible news, Lord Hartingtores Voice While making the announcement shook with • emotion, and this unwonted exhibition of , sensibility oreated the idea that 'the worst of the story had not yet been told. In the evening the Home was crowded, and when Snore Ali ordered his forces to retire to- wards (+Mishit, bis infantry deserted in a body and were pursued by General Bur. rows, • who xecevered the guns, and wag. genii they had carried off. Weakened by tho desertion of Sher° Ali's infantry Gene - 'rat Burrows effected a retrograde move - meat to Kushina,kud, thirteen miles nearer Caadabar. .A.yoeb Khan's forces had reached the. Efelmund 'river, above Girishk, •and spies roptartonatlig he Lad messed the river at klyderabsd", and. that four thou- sand Mame had joined him, while parties of hiacavalry were foraging near theaftria, ishacaiisp. It would. seem as; if the Indian Government felt some auxiety la regard to Gen. Burrows' position,for a fortnight ago a reserve division in Sonade was placed under orders for active service. The divi- sion comprins a battery of artillery, me battalion of British and two regiments of native infantry, and oue regiment of native cavalry. By moving this force quickly to tho trout the Quettali and Pisheen con- tingents can be relieved.for active duty under Gen, PbaYre Ayooli Rhone tomes will doubtless make a rush oh Cendahar, but, as recent crop reports are very satis- factory, the garrison will probably be well provisioned. Charnan, where Ge. kaaayre's force will concentrate, is about half way between Quettali and Candahar and nitety miles from the latter place. Later despetehes to the India, Office by way of Bombay say 'that General Burrows when attacked by Ayoob Khan was leading his brigade to the assistance of the Wali, Shere Ali, whose troops had mutinied as already described, • Sher° Ali who was holding an outpost on a braiieh of the Helmund. in the direction of Giristilf, Waa threatened with ao. attack by Ayoob Khan, who with a greatly puperior force was 'ay - preaching from Farah.

Vane past has been in continual contro- versy with:111s flock, who seem to be of no larnb-like disporiltion, for he has suffered oue indignity after another until at length a short time ago :some of tbern set fire to his barn, which was burned to the ground, along with Lis horses and cattle. Blotters were thus brought to a climax, and an ap- peal was made to the Government of • Quebeo. Honorable Attorney -General Loranger instructed High Coneta- ble Bissonette to look into the mat- ter, and the result of the latter's thiSSiOU was the arrest of a man named Gauthier. This man turned Queen's evidence; mid soon the bigh constable was in seareh of Wm, Ileac:au, wtio had fled to Ontario, Ito arrested him near Londou, Ont., and when he arrived home Noveau confessed to hav- ing mutilated the cure's horses upon two °woolens' by cutting off their tails and manes. Further investigation proved that there existed. a conspiracy on a largo settle to send the priest out of tho district. Nev- eau and Gauthier acknowledged that they did the burning, but implicated in the con- spiracy Mr, Marion, the notary of the vil- lage, and Mr. Levesque, otorekeeper. These men, it is shown in the eilide,vits of Nevem and Gauthier, became inceneed beeause the cure condemned from the pal- -pit in unmistakable terms the lawlessuess and Sunday liquor aelling of a storekeeper, As there was but one store in the village - Mr. Levesque s -that gentleman took the reflection to be upon him and his friends.

High Constable Biesonette gives -the-village a very bad character, and says it is almost a Quebec.

But the people mot and re- fused. to pay until Secretary -treasurer Griffin should furnish them with a state- ment to show that they wore in debt, Mr. Laurier was appointed auditor, and soon the news became public property that some of the best neople in the village were in , arrears of -taxes to the extent of some • thousands of tleuars, and that if the arrears wore all paid there 'would be no occasion to tax any one double. This news kindled a regular flame, as many had Already paid the doable..•_taxes, _and. throats - against the councillors _wore made.
