GERMANY AFRAID OF HERSELF, Reports come {rom several sources that the \apual military conoseription in Germany is to bo increased by 20,000 men, but that the iddition is without political significance, being merely in consequence of increase of population. The Standard’s correspondent at Berlin insists, de- spite deninis, that Count von Beast’s appoint. ment as Austrian Ambassador at Paris is di- rected against Germuny and declares that Count Andrassy was obliged to assent thereto by Court Influence and that bis position is shaken.

CHANOKS OF 4 COMPROMISE, AsBpecial despatch to the Times from Darjeeling Says it is roported, with considerable show of prob- ability, that the Ameer of Afghanistan 1s strenuously endeavoring to eflect a compromise, According to the reports of natives he 1s even perfectly ready to meet the Viceroy at Peshawur. This disposition, however, is attributea to a desire to gain time. The government can afford to negotiate, as there is little doubt that all idea of a winter campoiga has been abandoned; but only anqualified and immediate submission will pre- Vent war, and it is almost hopeless to expect the Ameer to yield to the requirements of the govqrn- ment, one of which is that the command of the most important sirategic routes shall be placed in its band. ‘The Aighans at Ali-Musjid sre now estimated to num- ber 25,000.

Mr. Potter Too Ill To Be Taken From His House. [Br caBLE TO THE HERALD.) Gtascow, Oct. 20, 1878. The arrest of the managers and directors of the City of Glasgow Bank was quietly ef- fected at a late hour last night. They were conveyed in cabs to the central police sta- tion, where they are confined in sep- arate rooms, but not in the common cells in which their contemporaries, who have only stolen a loaf of bread or a pocketbook, are domiciled. The names of the directors now under lock and key are:—Robert Salmond, John Stew- art, John Innes Wright, William Taylor, all of Glasgow; R. S. Stonach, manager of the Glasgow office; C. S, Leresche, secretary of the Glasgow office, and Henry Inglis, a director of the Edinburgh Board. Lewis Potter, a director of the Glasgow Board, was too ill to be moved and is guarded by officers in his own house, HOW THEY WERE ARRESTED. The orders of arrest were issued by the Lord Advocate on Saturday afternoon to the Procurator Fiscal of Glasgow, who handed the orders to Captain Boyd, of the central division of the police. Detectives also pro- ceeded by the afternoon express to Edin- burgh, and there arrested Mr. Stewart and Henry ‘Inglis. Captain Boyd found Mr. Salmond at his place of business in this city, and conveyed him in acab to the police sta- tion, He then proceeded to the head office of the broken bank in Virginia street, where he found R. S. Stonach, the manager, and O. 8. Leresche, the secretary, who were quietly marched off to jail. Meanwhile detectives had been sent to the residence, in the aristocratic part of the city, of John Innes Wright, No. 10 Queen’s terrace; of Lewis Potter, No. 7 Clermont garden, and of William Taylor, where Wright and Taylor were apprehended, and Potter left in the custody of detectives on account of his illness, as before stated. CONTENTED MINDS, Iam informed that all the directors re- ceived the officers very quietly, several stating that if they had known summonses had been issued for their arrest they would have surrendered to the police. They will be taken before the stipendiary magistrate to-morrow, charged with one or more acts of fraud. It is highly probable that a re- mand will then be granted and that they will be given time to prepare for trial. ° LIABILITIES OF JAMES SAWERS AND CO, [bY CABLE TO THE HEGALD.)
