TaerReND, Turkestan, Jan. &.—Aftera long Central Asiaz jourpey, I arrived on Monday morsing last at this city of Russian Turkestan, ‘wher¢ Gen. Kauffmaon bas his headquarters. The General accorded me a courteous™ recep- tion, and invited we to breakfast. The Afzhan Embassy sent by the Ameer to implore Russian assistance was thenin Tashkend. Tuesday I was by Gen, Kauffmann’s conrtesy permitted present doring the farewell interview of four emissaries from Amcer. Gen. Kauffmann couveyed the unpleasant news he had to tell with grest tact. In his short address he categorically declared his Imperial Majesty tne Czor 'absolutely refused “to intervene in the affairs of Afehanistan.. It was impossible for the emissaries to conceal their disapoointment. The emissaries and suite inimegiately left Tashkend, to rejoin Shere Al ‘The same day 1 wss invitea to dinner by Gen. Kouftmann. During my stay we conversed ona variety of topics. The following is a summary of what related to * - THE AFFAIRS OF AFGHANISTAN: Correspondent—1I desire to 0 to Cabul. Will Fou &ive me the necessary facilities? Kaatfmann—It would be useless. The Ameer nas quitted Cabul, leaving bis son, Yakoob Kb, to negotiate with the English. Correspondent—Then you consider that the ‘war is at an epd? Kauffmaou—N0, for the Ameer may disavow his son’s act, althoush of all the Asiatics I have fourd Shere At Is the Jeast untruthfal. - Correspondent—Why should he disavow: his son’s zetst Kauffmenn—To recommence a war which is wery beavy for the English, the climate being, 100 cold in winter, and insupportadly hot in summer. The results up to the present are absolutely nuil for the Enelish. They have oniy gaized thirty miles of territory, and that owin to mouey given the mountaineers, a set of "Afgirap trites who would fall upon the Brit- ich at the first reverse. Correspondent—Do you belleve the English have experienced any reverses? i, Kauffmaun—They bave experienced several which haye been concealed by their journals: For instance, the last letter from the Ameer that you sec lvinz there says that in the last ecogagement the English were only victorious in the sccond duy’s fighting. After a cou- plete defeat on the first day 2HE FACT WAS CAREPULLY CONCEALED by the English jonrnals. Correspondent—How did it happer the En- glist were beaten the first day, and were vie ‘torions tae second? Kaufimavo—By bad generalship the Ameer had scattered his troops to haye some every- where, and, consequently, they were in force nowhere. In the last battles the English, who bave sixtecn battalions, had only tofight on one oceasion four Afghan battal- lions, on another five, slthough the Englisn would have been beaten the first day if the troops had not been scattered. The Afghans are cxcellent soldiers, but.wretchedly com- manded. Correspondent—It is rumored in Europe that the Afghans are directed by Russian officers. Eauffmano—Y learned that by Lord Loftus, Englisb Ambassador to Russia, ssying that the Journal de Cabul had anuounced the arrival of any Aide-de-Camp in the Afghan Capital. Ire- plied by stating I'bad long been in relations with the Amcer throuzh a native horscmsn, ‘whom the Cabul journal mistook for my Aide- de-Camn. Correspondent—To return to the war, Gen- eral. ‘What is the actual situation? Eaufimanu—The Ameer has left his son, Yakoob Ehan, at Cabul, and retired north over 150 miles, a5 for 35 Mazar Isharif, close 1o our Trontier. The Inst letter 1 reccived from him waus the’9th of December. and announced he would quit Cabul ina couple of days. He ar- rivéd at Mazar [sharif probably to-day, and was to write immedaiately. % iy Corrcapondent—And should the Afgbans vioate 1he” treaty made by Yakoob Khan, where will be the solution of the difficulty? » Kauffmann—There will be no solution, If the Ameer recommences the war it. will be difficult aud almost impossible for the English 10 succeed. The latter can derive no more ad- vagtaze from it than they have obtained at ‘present, and that is nothing. w THE AMEER'S FLIGHT. s To the Western Associated Press. : LoxDox, Jan. 4.—The Viceroy of India tele- graphs the details, of the Amcer’s withdrawal from Cabul. The Ameer held Durbar Dec. 10, when it was resolved that after the fall of Ali Musjid snd Peiwar no further ‘rehance could be placed on his troops or resistance offered. - The Ameer, therefore, concluded 2¢ scek Russian protection and place his case before 2 European Congréss, leaving Yakoob Khan, hisson, in chirge. Yakoob was released’ “he same day, and the oath was administered shat he should do 38 the Ameer directed. The Ameer left Cabul -Dec. 13. His authority had slmost disappeared. A Cadul Chief has written 4en. Roberts, offering his services, and says the Aucer has gone to St. Petersburz. { GEN. GRANT. % - INCIDENTS OF, 1lIS VISIT T0 DUBLIN. iy Cable io Xeid York Heraia. Dunrry, Jan. 4.—~Gen. Grant arove to the Vice-Regal Lodge of the Duke of Marlboroual, Phanix Park:this afternoop, where he had dejenner with the Viceroy. He afterward vis- Ited the Zoological Gardens. ZLast night at the banquet the ex-Presidest made the longest speech of his lije. Here- ferred to himeelf as a fellow-citizen of Dublin, 2nd intimated, amid muchJaughter and cheer- ing, that he might return to Dublin one day and run against Barrington for Mayor and Butt for Parliament. He warned those - gentlemen he was genenallys troublesome candioate. Passing to serious matters, the General ssid, ‘* We bave beard some words spoken about my country. We have a great country, a prospér~ ous country, with room for a great many people. We have been suffering for some years from very great depression. The world has felt it. [Hear! hear!] There is; DO question about the fact when you have 45,000,000 of consumers, such as we are, and when they-are’ made to feel poverty then the whole world must feel it. [Applause.] You have had here great prosperity because of our ereat extravagance and misfortuncs. Wehad a war which drew fnto it almost cvery man who could bear arms. When that great conflict was going on we ‘were spending a thousand millions a year more than we were pro- ducing, - aod Europe got every dollar ofit. It made for you a false prosperity. You were getting our bonds and promises to pay, cashing them yourselves. That made great prosperity and made prodacers beyond the real necessisies of the world at peace. But we finally got through tbat great conflict, sod with an inflated cwrrency which was far below the specie you use here. It made our neople still more extravagant. We paid it back to you for your labor and manu- factures, and jt made you apparently aud really prosperous.” We, on the other hand, were getting- really poor, but, being hon- cst, we came fo the duy of solid payment. We come down to-the necessity of sclling more than we bought. "Now we bave turned the corner., We bave had our days of depression; Yours arc just coming on. Our prosperity is commencing, and as we become prosperous you will, 100. [Applause.] Becausewe become mcreased consumers of your products 28 well as our own. Two distingnished men have alluded to this subject. One iras the Presi- dent of the United States, and be said the pros- perity of the United States would be felt to the bounds of the civilized world.

To the Western Assoctated Press. Corg, Jan. 4.—At a mecting of the Town Council yesterday, after several bitter speeches by Catholic members, the motion that the letter of the United States Consul at Queenstown, an- nouncing Gen.Grant's coming, be simply marked ‘*read,” was carried without a dissenting vote. A previous motion to give Gen. Grant a proper reception was ignored. GRANT’S RECCPTION IN DUBLIN. The citizens of - Dublin are enthusiastic over the arrival of Ger. Grant, and will entertain him to the best of their power.

H ' BANK SUSPENSION. LoxDow, Jan. 4.—The Cornish Bank at Traro, Cornwall, closed this morning. 1t is hoped the suspension will be only temporary. The bank did a very large business in mining and other commercial enterprises. “The bank belongs to Tweedle, Williams & Co. It was established about 110 years ago, and has branches at Falmouth, Penryn, and Redruth. Sir Frederick Williams, member of Pariiament for Truro, who died recently, held one-third of the concern. His widow is sole exccutor, The bank had an authorized issue of £48,000. The deposit amounted to £5,000,000. A dispatch from Plymouth says the stoppage of the Cornish Bank will cause terrible distress among the traders of West Cornwall. The im- mediate catse of the suspension is the run on the bank, during the last fortnight, resulting rom rumors that the late Sir Frederick Will- xms was largzely indebted to the bank, and that alarge portion of the capital was locked up in mines and in advances on'tin. A furtler stop- page & Cornish mines is inevitable, and the failure of mary private firms must follow. TIOURS OF WORK AND WAGES. S ‘Loxpox, Jan. 4—Employers in the west of Scotland contemplite a retwrn o fifty-four hours” woris 2 week. The employes will consider the matter next week. Al the societies connected with the engineer- ing trade will unite to resist any prolongation of the hours of labor. The cottor masters at- Huddersfield are con- sidering the sdvisability of reducing wages, as at Oldham, ONE MORE. Loxpox, Jan, 4.—Avother death has occurred among the Tounded by the explosion on the man-of-war ‘Thunderer. The others are doing well. p SILVER IN LONDON. Loxpox, Jan. 4.—The Times says that, al- though the. vailable supply of bar silver will probabiy in. day or two be supplemented by the amount brought by the Pacific steamer, none could he hed Friday, and even if there had been a demand safficiently urgent to make nec- essary the payment of higher rates, it is doubt- ful whether sny amounts would have been forthcoming. The demand from any quarter at present s exceedingly limited, and as the in- quiry on Austrian account seems uow to have practically ceased, the bresence of anything more than a mere nominal amount on the mar- ket would only be prejudicial to the present price. : ANOTHER PAILURE.

Snecial Dispatch to The Tribune. -4 New Ogreans, Jan. 4—Quite an amusing, thing occurrea to-day in'the examination of Dr. Smythe, of this city, by one of the medical ex- perts, Dr. Chaillie.

These are doubtless exaggera- tions; but the fact was, thay fn the fashionable- world at that time, .a servant was ucder little more’ -obligation to be civil to his master than a cabman is now to be civil to his fare. He lived by soclety, more than by any individual aiember of-it.

It is closed ut one end, and the inanimate individual is inserted, fect fore- most, in the receptacle, as far as the neck. round whicl i5 placed 4 padded diaphragm, fastened to the eylinder 50 5 to be ajr-tizht. A air-pumy, attachied to an opening in the tube, creates a partial vacuum, and then the outer atmosphere, by its own"pressure, forces its “way into the Jiings by the month and the nostril$, which are left exposed, By a reversed action of the pump the air is allowed to fe-enter the cylinder, and respiration is thereby established. A glass plate inserted in thciron casiog enables the operator to waich the movements of thie chest, which rises and falls gs in life with the alternate working of the pump.
