FOREIGN NEWS ON A VARIETY OP BUBJECTS, DY LATEST MAILS. Lonpox, Nuv, 23.—An exploft of 8 pecullar character {s reported In the last number of an Twalian military paper. On the morning of the 8d {ust. n varty of officers, conslsting of a Cap- tain and cight Licutenants of the Fifth Regi- went of Cavalry, left Milan at 3 o'clock to ride 810 miles in five uays. Btartiog from Milay, thiey wero to ride on tho first day through Ber- gamo to Rovato: on the fourth, frumn Rovato, through Breacia. to Verona; on the filth, from Verona, through Mantua, to Modena; on the eixth, from Modens, through Reggioand Parma, to Pincenza; und on the seveuth, to return to Milan through Pasia. Tho horses ridden were the chargers of the officers, and were uot of any partlcular breed s neither tad they been traloed in anv way for the journey, tho object fn view in undertaking the expedition beiug simply to ascertaln what an ordinary horse might be expucted to achleve in case of emer- gency in nctual warfare, Of the nine officers who lcft Milan seven arrived on tho5th st Mantud at half-past 10 in the forennon, and left agaln at 11:30 a. m. for Modens, but on the Tth three only reachied Milan, arriving n the town about lalf an hour before midoight, hav- ing therefore ridden the H10 miles §n 103 hours, A new filustration ‘of the tolerant character of tue Holv treek Orthodox Church,ns cs- tablished in Russiz, is fuiolghed by some of the Uerman papers of last week, Thesu, jonrnals, on the aunthority of letters recelved from the Russisn border, xive tho partioulurs of o griev- anve of which the Roman Catholle population of the District of Lubllu aro now complajulug.

Prince Nicholas has been informed "frow Prisrend that o furmal agree- ment exiats between the Porteand the Albanfan League not under any circumstances to_allow the terrftories in guestion to be separated from Albania, and thal the Albanians have enguged at uny time Lo supply, on the requisition of the Forte, a coptiugent of at least 40,600 auxilury troops, This news was confisined by tho officil iustructions sent by Priuce Lobanoff to Baron Koulbars, the Russfau member of the Turco- Monteuegrin frootier Comuisslon, In which the Prines expreases bis full conviction that the Porte will not voluutarily give up tho posses- slon of Podgoritza. 1n consequence of this communleation Prince Nickolus hasconsulted the Senate, nud the mujority of the Sciators agreed in favor of golng to war, Fortunately there ls sorue prosbect of the matter being setfled with- wut haviue recourse to ars. Nuws has arrived from Plov, (tussinje, Berant, Podgoritza, Sputz, and Zabllak, from which it appears that the fn- linbitants of those districts are very favoruble to Montenegro, und that in ordef to avoid further bloodshed they have decided to give themacetves up to Princo Nicholas in oppusition to the wishes and ordees of the Porte. Already the luhabitants of Kolaschin have forced the ‘Curkish warrlson to leave the town, and opencd the gutes to the Mouteoegrins. The Prince wished to appoint a native Albaun as Pretoct of Kolaschin, bat the Inhabitants represented that it would be more satlsfuctory to them if tho post were given to & Mouteocirin, Djura Petrovics, & cousin of -the Prince, was theu ap- [xolmul Prefect.

At u ecsalon in Jlancw on Saturdsy of the Queen's Bench Division of the figh Court of Justive, Lord Colertdie and My, Justice Mellor decided that fox-huuters bave no reht to tres. pass au au catate from which they ars warned off; and tuat the old doctrine that the pursuit ol the fox fu legal because benetielu! to the coun- try ut large, as belug the purauit of vermin, doea vot apply, Every one knows, sald the Judies, that, even If that doctrine Werw wood law, the fox 18 uut now pursued ss verming ood s, in order to extermiuate it as verwmiu, thero {8 uo occaslon Lo wke 4 preas huut over lunds whose owper objects; theoce the old doe- triug, cyen if sound, is irrclevant. 8o the Bomersctshire fov-hunters who lhad been convicted and - Hued for au mesault ot u {apmer who warned them off his laod were, sald the Judges, rightly convicted, sud the ap- pepl ou tho pofut of law was dismissed with costs.

The greater changes that seem to be inpending over the whole agric rul sys- tem will perhaps affect It et more than Lord Colerldge's decision. Lord Napler, of Magdals, has chanzed his oputiun in régqunl to the necessity of o rectificn- tion of the Indinn frooticr on the Afghsuistan side, e now says: In the fiest place, instead of an army marched againat Indfa, we find Htussin teelf” advanced tuwanl our Empire, not by expedition, but by ab. sorption of tertitory. 1ler bold advances have reatly alarmed onr neighbars and tributaries, who regard out quiescence as timidity, fly remaining ent up witiin onr own horders, we leave all that 18 autside neccasarily to fail within the vieas of a bold advancing Power: and onr own people [nalde, and nur neizibors outside, are losing cunfidence 1n e, I have, tierciore, come o the cunclusion tat we have rematned quivacont Ioni enough. We have not a fortification in India, excont Fort William, . ., [f any shock on our fronticrs occurred, our civll admintsteation o) over Indla would be parsiyzed by panle, from having- aheolutely " no place fur our tressire and Liciplens {non-combatants —no point of sanport for the ecutres of administration. I am, therefore, of opinlon now that there 13 less danger by advuncing than sfitting still, 17 all had beon done that wignt have been done daring the I8¢t ten years, Indla would have been nuch more sccure; hut the necomsnry meastires wete pey- lected, becanee the inoner waswithneld. . . . . Onur quiesence bas actually led the Ruselan papers to ask what wo mean by roing to Khelat nr Quetts, hat fact alonc is sulicient (o vindicate vur rizht to be thero. I therefore conslder the milltary dis- adrantages swhich fed to my former ovinfun I than thie moral and putitical evils we shall incur by fottinz the fronticr be uisturbed, as it has heen, by our ubstention leaving just caure or plausivlo pre- tence for Pereia and “Afghanietan 1o interfere to protect Laele own burders, It is, tn short, a8 plaln almost to common seoce as it §s to military expurts that the pros- ent Indus frontier can never be defended or made delens exeept by oceupylng positions beyond it such s Quettn, and Candahar, und deilalabad, and Cabul. When an invader of India has onee reached these positions, fts de- feaders have always had to fall back un the neighbortiond of Deihil; and that 1s why the fate of India bas so olten—six times, we think—heen decided on the tield of Paniput.
