THE SANDWICH ISLANDS. : Prince Lunalilo’s Election Not Yet Rati- fied by the Legislative Asscmbly. SAN FRANCISCO, Jan. 29, 1873. Advices from Honoluin received here state that ‘the legitimacy of Prince Lunalilo’s election by popular vote rests finally on the orficial election by the Legisiative Assembly, which was to have taken place January 8, and on his taking the prescribed oath of office there is no doubt the Assembly will accede to the popular decision. The American shipmasters, at a meeting, ac- cepted the result of the election, and aiterwards visitéd Prince Lunalilo in a body, when an exchange of congratulations followed. ‘The Prince, in an address, said his policy would be to discriminate fairly between natives and for- wens. fhe Prince's claims were first publicly endorsed by & mass meeting at Honolulu, held December 26, ‘out have received no formal endorsement from the Legisintive eee, yet.

The Anglo-Russian Diplomacy Said To Be Unsat- isfactory—Khiva’s Case Still » Cause of Diffi- culty—England’s Position and Her Prospect of Active Alliances, TELEGRAM TO THE NEW YORK HERALS. Lonpon, Jan, 29, 1873, It is rumored this morning that the differences be- tween Great Britain and Russia on the Khivan ques- tion, mstead of being in a fair way for a mutually satisfactory adjustment, are increasing and that the governments of France, Austria, Italy, Turkey, Denmark and Sweden have determined to support the British government in the position it has as- sumed, Active Operations by the Russians. English reports from Afghanistan of a very re- cent date state as follows:— Information has reached Cabool that the Russians have seized two towns belonging to the Ataligh Ghazi, the great Khoxand adventurer, who has founded a vast Mehanimedan empire in Eastern Turkestan, If this rumor be true it is prebable that Russian progress will move in a due easterly direc- tion and in a’ southwesterly direction simultane- ously and that portions both ef Khiva and Yark- and will be annexed. Russian Agencies for Agitation In India. The London Saturday Review, in its canvass of this very serious aspect o! the Anglo-Russian difi- culty, says:— There is reason to expect that the Russians may, betore the limit of their Asiatic conquests reached, be exposed to a formidable collision with Mohammedan fanaticism. It would be wrong to cultivate a wish that Mohammedanism should pre- vail over any form or application of poping ds but perhaps it may be permissable to anticipate in a tolerant spirit the probable slowness of the pro- cess of conversion in Central Asia. It cannot be denied that the extension of Russian power will increase the difficulty and the cost of governing India, but serious danger is probably not at present imminent. British Opinion of Count Schouvaloff’s Mission, The London Times, speaking editorially of the recent Russian special mission, by the hands of Count Schouvalof, to Queen Victoria, and its re- sults, says:— The mission of Count Schouvaloff may be assumed to.indicate two things. First, that Kussia is im- pressed with a conviction of England’s earnestness onthe Central Asian question; next, that she is desirous of conciliatory measures, Under these cir- cumstances, our vernment has only to express its policy in distinct language and adhere to it firmly, and Russia will probably, in the end, not dissent from the conclusion. Indeed, the inten- tions of England, as already communicated to the government ot the Emperor, leave no room for im- Mediate objections, though they may_ have prompted the suggestion of a preferable alterna- tive. ‘The English Cabinet has simply stated that we shall refrain from all intervention with Russian conquests in Central Asia, so long as they don’t exceed certain specified itmits. Of course, it is im- plied that if those limits are exceeded we should regard it as a cause of war. We should embark in an Eastern war with far more powerful resources, indeed, than Russia, but also with a far greater stake. ENGLAND. Tichborne’s Trial Tribulations. TELEGRAM TO THE NEW YORK HERALD.

THE INDIANS VICTORIOUS. a The Troops Retreat with About Forty Killed and Wounded. We have received the following special despatch from the San Francisco Chronicle, giving the details of the battles with the Modocs on the 16th and 17th instant :— FROM THE SPECIAL CORRESPONDENT AT THE SEAT OF WaR. SAN FRANCISCO, Jan, 29, 1873. The lava bed where the battle was fought is situated on the border of Tule Lake, near the boundary lines of California and Oregon. The troops operating against the Modocs were gathered into two camps, one about six miles from Captain Jack's camp, the other about fifteen miles distant on the other side of the lake. The troops in the first camp were under the command of Captain Bernard and were intended to co-operate with General Wheaton, commander of the forces. THE PLAN OF ATTACK. General Wheaton having completed all the arrangements for an attack, fixed on Thursday, the 16th inst., as tne time to begin, The plan of attack embraced a movement of Bernard's from the east simultaneously with march of the troops from Van Bremen’s headquarters from the west. On the 13th General Wheeler sent orders to Bernard to break up camp on Thursday and move towards Captain Jack’s camp, and to take up a position as near as possible, to hold the same during the night and then to attack on Friday morning. It was expected that the Modocs, being thus attacked simultaneously on both sides, would be entirely demoralized. Bernard's com- mand numbered over one hundred men, THE INDIANS ADVANCE AND FIRE. According to orders he moved from his camp on Thursday, but had not proceeded far before the Indians vegan to dispute his advance, and all day Thursday he had close and hand to hand fight- ing. He, however, sncceeded in taking and hold- ing a position near the Indian camp. THE FORCE AT CAMP VAN BREMER, The troops at Camp Van Bremer consisted of one company of cavalry under Colonel Perry, two companies of iniantry under Major Mason, two companies of Oregon volunteers under Captains Kelly and Applegate, and one company of volun- teers under John A. Fairchild—the whole under General Wheaton. THE MARCH ffom Camp Van Bremer commenced at nine o'clock on Thursday morning, the troovs moving direct across the mountains toward Captain Jack's camp. Supplies, blankets, howitzers, &c., were placed jin wagons, which had to make a detour to the northward, and could get ne nearer than the lowest slope of the mountain where the Indiaus were en- camped. The troops arrived at this point at one o'clock, Where they waited for the wagons, which did not arrive till after dark. The troops then en- camped on the slope, remaining there all Thursday night. GENERAL WHEATON BAFFLED BY THE FOG. General Wheaton now saw his error in issuing his order for this movement, for on reaching the summit ofthe mountain nothing was visible but a deep, impenetrable fog, se dense as to render almost impossibie any chance of a successful hunt after the Indians; but it was then too late to draw back, as Bernard had vbeyed orders and was already hotly engaged. AWAY TO BERNARD'S ASSISTANCE, He could not be left to maintain the struggle alone, nor could word reach him to discontinue the fight, There was no time for celay., The troops under Colonel Green were ordered to ad- vance; Captain Fairchild's company was assigned to a position on the left, the infantry unuer Mason with the Oregon volunteers, and Colonel Perry’s company of cavairy dismounted. The line thus formed advanced over the rocks and through the chasms of the lava bed, A BATTLE IN THE LAVA BED, They reached within a mile of the Indians with- out resting; then the Indians commenced firing on them from benind rocks, irom out of the dense fog. The soldiers could only fire at random or at the places frota whence came the fire of their foes. The line was reformed while the battle was in progress, Perry being ordered to double back and take a position next to Fairchild to effecta junction with Bernard's men. To do this they had to pass round a bluff, and were exposed to a terrible fire from tne indians. Fairchila’s company took the lead. TWO MEN WOUNDED—A POSITION GAINED. Ata certain point two men ieli wounded. Fair- child at length gained a point where the men were in comparative safety, and were also enabied to force the Indians to keep within shelter of the rocks. Thus Mason and Perry's commands were enabled to form a junction with Bernard in com- parative safety. Colonel Perry was wounded in the passage. THE REDSKINS FIGHTING FIERCELY. Bernard now attempted to force the Indians back to enable Fairchild also to join him. In this he was unsuccessiul, as Fairchild’s men were obliged to lie down flat on their faces to keep out of the range of (ndian bullets, and were obliged to keep in that position until they were joined by Bernard's command, taking their wounded. The howitzers were not used until the battle had been some time in progress, when they were found almost useless, owing to the density of the fog and the ignorance of the whereabouts of the Indians, and also for fear of injuring Bernard’s men, UNCLE SAM'S BOYS AGAIN BEATEN BACK. ‘The line continued to advance, suffering con- siderably till the chasm was reached, in which Captain Jack has had his stronghold. This chasm , 3 extends through the entire lava bed and has never been thoroughly explored. In some places it 1s but a few feet across, in others over fifty and very deep. Colonel Green’s troops, on reaching the brink of the chasm, attempted to charge it, but were met with such g storm of bullets that the troops faltered in dismay. A CHANGE OF Tactics, The attempt was then abandoned, and orders were issued to concentrate their forces on the shores of the lake, with a view of forcing a pas- sage through to Bernard's command, By this time it was too ‘late in the afternoon. The two portions of the force fighting the Indians haa been engaged for several hours within a mile of each other without being able to communicate, neither knowing the other's situation, nor what advantages had been gained. Arrangements had been made to communicate by signals, but the fog put an effectual stop to all intercourse by these means, For this reason Fairchild’s forces were sent forward together with Mason's and Perry's Fairchild had four wounded in the passage. THE SIGNAL CORTS AT WORK—THE TROOPS RETIRE. Shortly before sundown the fog lifted suficiently to give a chance to the Signal corps to work. Gen- eral Wheaton was thus enabled to communicate with Captain Bernard, to whom he sent orders to withdraw his men and take a position for the night and return tocamp the next day. Wheaten him- self fell back to his camp of the previous evenings Thus ended the Battle of the Lava Bed. THE KILLED AND WOUNDED. The casualties reported so far received give the number of killed and wounded as follows :— KILLED.—Regulars, 8; Oregon volunteers, 2. To- tal, 10, Wounnep.—Regulars, 25; volunteers, 4. Total, 29. The wounded were taken to Fort Klamath, where they received every attention necessary. The number cf the Indians under Captain Jack cannot be conjectured, but are estimated at about two hundred, THE WEATHER. a The Bitter Weather Yesterday—Three Degrees Above Zero. January, 1873, will probably live long in the minds of New Yorkers as having been a month of incessant severe weather, Snowtall has succeeded snowfall until afew yards of clear sidewalk has become a novelty to the eye, and pedestrians who never learned to skate in their youth have come to regret that that branch of their edueation was neglected. Happy the individual who can boast that he has not slipped upon the sidewalk this Winter, though he would be no more believed than Baron Munchausen. On Tuesday it seemed prob- able that the weather was going to be milder, but shortly before midnight the wind came sweeping in fitiul gusts up the avenues and = streets, freezing with its very breath everything that it touched. From six o'clock to nine yester- day morning the thermometer registered only three degrees above zero, and everybody bound tor business suffered severely in consequence. The street cars were heavily laden, for few dared to face the irigid biast. ‘The cabins on the ferrybeats were crowded and the yarcs of the shipping were covered with glittering icicles. Even the sun could not warm the atmos re with his bright rays, and at high noon the mercury stood at five degrees, ‘Towards evening the weather became milder and the cutting wind decreased in violence, but every one agreed and meteorolovical records prove that yesterday was the coldest 29th of January expe- rienced In New York city during the last two decades. ‘The tollowing record will show the changes in the temperature for the past twenty-four hours in comparison with the corresponding day of last year, as indicated by the thermometer at Hudnut’s Pharmacy, Heracp Building :— 1872. 1873. 1872. 1873.

HAVANA, Jans 26, 1873, A document, signed by a number of prominent dry goods houses, was véry extensively circulated on the 25th instant asking the people to give one- tenth of their property to redeem the bills issued by the Spanish Bank for government account, and to accept bonds for the moneys so advanced. The proposition is-considered impracticable, and meets with little favor. PLAN OF & PEOPLE'S BANK. A committee from the dry goods houses has been appointed to prepare » basis for the establishment of a new bank, to be conducted for the interest of the people in general and not merely for the ad- vantage of a few stockholders. ie fnancial question is the absorbing topic of discussion at present, and there is much anverse criticism of the Spanish Bank because it declared a semi- annual dividend of seventeen per cent while it was allowing its notes'to depreciate daily in value. Its notes now are twenty-three per cent discount. More concern is manifested at the danger attend- ing this financial question, and it is more dreaded than either the abolition of slavery or the insur- rection, SLAVE-OWNERS The DEBATING THE QUESTION SLAVERY. A numerously attended. meeting of slave-owners and others was held in. the Spanish Casino this evening. Several speeches were made, in which very different views of the slavery question were taken, and propositions in favor of its abolition were advocated, The general idea, however, was to give the slaves their liberty, provided they will make contracts for a term of years ranging trom eight to twelve at from one to five dollars a month, with conditions similiar to those the Chinese as- sent to, The meeting was adjourned without any definite action being taken, One speaker advocated the making of the con- tract betore a British, American or German Consul; others, and they were planters, demanded an in- demnity of $500 for each slave liberated, the sum to be made payable out of the treasury of the island, while others again fixed the indemnity at $1,000 for each slave. Another speaker objected to indemnity alto- gether, because he considered it unjust to tax. the or poorer classes to indemnify the wealthy slave- owners. Several planters, hitherto considered uncompro- mising pro-slavery men, gave expression to very liberal views, to the great astonishment of the audience, EXECUTIVE CAUTION, Captain General Ceballos is in favor of the policy which may be considered most beneficial to the eountry. He is acting in an impartial manner, waiting for the slave-owners to take the initiative. Bis course is warmly applaudtd by the people. The slavery and financial questions are now prominently before the public, and their solution at an early day is inevitable, THE UNITED STATES FLAG.

Long before the hour of assembling the galleries and stairways of the hall were densely packed with people, and neither seats nor standing room could be obtained within hearing, or even sight of the proceedings inside the hall, Mr. John J. Ingalls, of Atchison, was nominated, as agreed upon, by a caucus of sixty members, as the fittest man to oppose Mr. Pomeroy. Senator York then proceeded to detail three at- leged interviews between himself and Mr. Pome- roy. He said these interviews were held in pur- suance of a plan agreed upon by himself and other prominent opponents of Mr. Pomeroy. The first one was on Friday night last, whem several persons were present and daring which the matter of the Ross letter was discussed, The second one was private, at the solicitation of At this Mr. Pomeroy offered him (Mr. York) $8,000 for his vote, $2,006 in cash, $5,000 on Tuesday and the remainder; on Thursday.
