NEW YORK HERALD, FRIDAY, OCTOBER ly, 1878.~TRIPLE SHEET. WAR FOR BRITISH INDIA. Excitement in England Over the Prospect of Trouble. “IT’S COME AT LAST!” The Force that Is to Rebuke the Ameer. Lompon, Sept. 28, 1878. “Our conjectures have Jength dee: for. tunately fulfilled, For fourteen years uoheeded, and sometimes mocked and ridiculed, we at length scethe Outbreak of the giant conflict im Asia between the two colossal Powers, Russia and Britain.” Thus writes Vambéry, who ougnt to know something about Cen- tral Asia, in the Aligememe Zeitung, und with this Quotation commences au editorial in to-day’s Morning Post, which quite goes with Vambéry in all that he says on the subdject, It is omly too true, says the Post, that the actual touch, if not of avowed at leas Of real collision, has been felt on the eventiul day Sir Neville Chamberlain was obliged to retreat trom the Khyber Pass at the mandato of an Afghai barbarian and by the counsel of the Russian Envey at Cabul. THE AFGHAN SCARE. Of course the English journals—morning, evening and weekly—are (lied with the vurming question. It Das taken strong bold of society, aod the jarge mili- tary Anglo-Indian class is profoundly stirred up. Old Angio-lndtan officers nave been heard to whia' pot loudly, bat very mysteriously, as they read the news, and then to exclaim, “By God! it's comeat last.” If you ask what has come at last, some of them will reply, “the greatest Asiatic war of modern mes; Others will say simply that the smashing of the Ameer is the consummation (long devoutly w: ‘Dy the Indian government) which is now at Some believe that the coming A/ghan war wili be the preliminary toan Angio-Russian war; others are cer- tain that Shere Ali will go down on Dis knees and say. ‘Please sir, it waso’t me’’ the moment the col- umas of invasion are ret in motion. MASTERLY INACTIVITY, The rampant Jiogoism of the frat few days after the news of tne momentous event at Alt Musjia reached England is now rather toned down by the sows'trom India that there is to be no immediate at- tack upon Cabul and that operations will be ill the- spring This rather unexpected tarnished the Pall Mali Gazette of last evening with matier for a terrific diatribe again @Numerous addniomal regiments Dave been warned to prepare for active service; the Quetta garrison is to be strongly reinioreed; bere and there troops are to be concentrated—in one piace as many as 14,000 m everywhere formidable prepara- ton.” Such ts oi group of the news items tegraphead trom india—ine pietare irom the Bingo point of view.

Over two thousand shoebiacks and newsboys were treated to an excursion down the harbor and up the Hudson River yesteraay by the liberality of Commo. adore J HL ‘Starin, president of the River and Harbor Transportation Company. This is the second year that the Commodore has given the arabs of New York « trip of tbis kind, and it is needless to say they appreciated the thing to its fullest extent, When the two big barges named the ste phen Warren and the William A. Som. ner, towed by the steamboat H. M. Wells, left the dock foot of Dey et, Pier No. 19, in the morning, cheers upon cheers were given for the Com+ modore. The programme for the entertainment of the boys wi baad of masic, kiast or butsercd hot buns and milk and feed in the afternoon of sand- ches, sponge cake, lemonade, crackers, biscuits, apples and ice cream, and the run of the broad decks of the barges to amuse themselves in whatever way they deemed most agreeable) The band that accom. panied the excursion last yoar declined to go on this cession, as the boys, it was thought, were too playfully. dispesed on tne former trip, and amused themselves dropping pieces of moistened biscuit and bread inte the trombone and bassoon, to the great annoyance and discom- fitare of the performers. Another band attended this time, and subjected to no such practical Jokes as prevailed on the previous excursion. The boys crowded the dock as early as seven o'clock, and be- fore the barges leit they were pretty well acquainted with eaca other. RAISING PANDEMONIUM. They were then raising pandemonium en the upper end | deck of each barge, but this was the merest foretaste of their capacity in that Moe to what they subsequently achieved. There were boys of ali ages, from six years up to twenty, those of the older breed looking mightily lixe She chaps that invade the quiet streets and avenues up town late in the ing and 1n a deep bass voice proclaim an “extree’? of the stale stock of some evening papers comtaining news of a horrible murder oraccident, The boys, ali in all, were a bright set, fall of fan and devilment, and prepared to give and take in the most good natured spirit.

A Singular Mistake that Has Gone Un- corrected for Sixteen Years. Major General Irvin McDowell was called as witness im the General Fitz Joba Porter ease yesteraay. The @ourt room down on Governor's Isiand was crowded with spectators and the most intense interest was manifested in the proceedings. It is claimed by Generel Porter’s counsel that the verdict of ‘he court martial in 1862 was basea chiefly upon the adverse opinious of Generals Pope and McDowell, and it was thoretore regarded as ot the bighest importance te learn wh the Views of General Porter's condust entertained by General McDowell worftd be changed by the new evi- nce. He admitted yesterday that the extracis from the reports of Confederate generals printed and cir culated by him also published im General Pope’s “Brief Summary of the Fitz Johu Porter Case” haa reference to the 30th of August, 1862, and not to the 29th, the day op which Gen- eral Porter was alleged to have failed in bis duty. General McDowell deciared that he had never discov. ered this mistake until y day aiternoon when it was made clear to him by the cross examination’ of petitioner’s counsel. General McDowell was on the witness stand from ten tm the forenoon until four in the afternoon, at which time the cross-examination was concluded. This morning be will be examined on the redirect by Recorder Asa 3. Gardner. General McDowell testified to a direct examination that on the 291m of August, 1862, he commanded a corps, censisting of King’s and Rickett’s divisivn On the morning referred to he was at Manassas with General Perter, and the latter snowed bim an erder trom Genera!

They are small square buildings constructed of laths, without roofs, but (he tops are covered with greens of sll Kinds, fibres and fire, so arranged that the stars can be seen through the boughs and thatthe rain can comein. They are usually erected in the synagogue yards; and among the poorer Jows, who re, side on the east sido and bave no yard privileges, but still wish to observe the feast, they are found sometimes on the roots of tenement houses, Within tne tabernacies decorated with leaves and flowera and fruits, git apples and hanging grapes.
