ENGLAND'S DISTRESS. oo A Hard Winter for the Un- employed Poor. NEW ITALIAN CABINET. [py CABLE TO THE HERALD.) Lonpox, Dec. 19, 1878. An official despatch from Lahore states that General Browne commenced his march to Jelalabad on Tuesday, which place he hopes to reach on the 20th inst. A special from Jumrood, December 18, says it has been determined to inflict rigorous punishment upon the Zukkur-Khels, who led the recent attacks the camp at Ali-Musjid. Twenty-two hun- left Ali-Musjid yesterday to surprise their villages, which are ten miles distant. It is anticipated that the example made of these natives will have the effect of pacifying the whole frontier. It is declared at St. Petersburg that the Russian mission at Cabul has been formaliy and officially withdrawn. ; BRITAIN’S BUSINESS TROUBLES. Messrs. Fox, Walker & Co., of the Atlas Engine Works, Bristol, have failed. Liabilities, £60,000. Messrs. Zubina & Co., iron ore importers, of Cardiff and Newport, have also failed, in consequence of the stoppage of the ‘Tin Plate Works of Booker & Co., near Swansea, whose bills Zubina & Co. held toa large amount. ‘This failure will considerably increase the liabilities of the West of England and South Wales District Bank. The Times, in its financial ar- ticle of yesterday, said:—"The recent news regarding the state of the West of England and South Wales District Bank has unquestion- ably done much mischief, and strong complaint is made that the truth was not made more clearly known at the date of suspension. Instead of telling the worst, as they no doubt could have done, the on dred men, more directors suffered people to nurse the delusion that the suspension was due to a pernicious run, and that therefore the bank might easily be in some form re- suscitated, A few knew all along that the whole paid up capital and reserve were probably lost, but the aass of the people believed the more ideal presenta tion of affairs. The result of this conccalment has been to renew and intensify the feeling of distrust which was beginning to die away. Men say, with justice, they can no longer believe what they are told by bankers, and the silliest rumors are endowed with tenfold power for mischief, It is profoundly to be regretted that the credit of the banking community should be played with and shaken in this fashion.'+ Reports of several district meetings of operatives on ‘Tuesday night in the Oldham District are generally unfavorable to a compromise. It is probable thatthe strikes will be continued. GREAT DISTRESS IN THE USITED KINGDOM, In the House of Commons on Tuesday night, Mr. Cross, Home Secretary, answering an inquiry “whether it was true, as reported, that we are now Yace to face with such acrisis of distress as this gen- eration has never known,” said though much distress unhappily prevails among the laboring poor, the de- scription of it in the question was exag; ted ; there was nothiasg to cause unnecessary alarm. He read telegrams from the head of the Board of Supervision at Edinburgh, and the Mayors of Liverpool and Manchester stating that the ordinary means of relief were at present sufficient to mect all necessities, He had not had time to inquire into the condition of the coal and iron districts. At Birmingham a meeting con- vened by the Mayor was held on Tuesday to consider the best means to relieve the distress, which is de- clared to be exceptionally speere and increasing daily. ‘The Mayor was requested to organize means for rais- ing and distributing relief, At Sheffield 2,000 children ahd 4,000 adults received aid last week, The Mayor's relief fund amounts to $40,000. At Stockton the distress is increasing. Hundreds of the families of iron workers are destqute, and an influential com- mittee is canvassing for subscriptions and contribu- tions, At Stoke-on-Trent great distress prevails, which is enhanced by the severity of the cold, Tho Distress Committee is unable to keep pace with the demands, At Burslem a meeting was called by the Mayor on the 17th inst. to take measures to alleviate distress, Great want is felt by the laboring classes in North Staffordshire. VERY SAD STATE OF AFFAIRS, At Manchester vast numbers of the middle class poor, who will not appeal to charity, are suffering keenly, A vigorous and combined effort on the part of the authorities, churches and private organiza- tions is being put forth. A Liverpool despatch says the working classes have not endured such distress and privation for many years. An excellent system of relief is organizing. At Wigan there is consid- erable distress among the better class of mechanics and workmen. Wolverhampton advices also report much distress throughout South Staffordshire, and feliet in the shape of food, coals and clothing fs being distributed. At Edinburgh a deputa- tion of unemployed men waited on the magis- trates and asked for employment. The magis- inspectors to give them work. At Glasgow the depression and dis- tress are unexampled. The streets are swarming with idle and starving men, women and children. Tho Lord Provost and magistrates are organizing very thorough relief for the most needy. A Dundee de- spatch says thero also is much misery in that part of Scotland, No adequate measures for relief have been organized in the northern part of the country, where the fishermen and agricultural laborers are destitute, In Aberdeen, Forfar and Dunfermline private charity and efforts of the magistrates are actively employed. At Bristol there are largo numbers of unemployed people, and there is much suffering, There is no or- ganized relief beyond the ordinary parochial fund as yet. BANKRUPTCY IN SWEDEN, Advices from Stockholm state that another firm (3. Hirsch) has failed, with 1,000,000 crowns liabilities, its difficulties having arisen through the fall in the price of iron and also from unprofitable operations in building and land. ‘The assets are reported to bo sufficient, but this is considered doubtful. The firms which have lately failed are believed to have been kept going by banks long after they should have gone into liquidation, A rather better feeling prevails in Sweden now, but it is feared bank managers there have been no wiser than in other parts of Europe and hold too many securities and too small proportion of capital. TURKRY AND THE POWERS, A despatch from Constantinople says it is. stated that Russia will not oppose a scheme for a loan peoacerow ——e war indenmity insgttled” simult has notifid! the ‘Sérviah’ envo, burned some Turkish villages. ‘The! Uyvoy marta graphed to Belgrade asking that satisfaction be given tothe Porte, The Turkish members of the commission to discuss the Greck frontier question will be ap- pointed this week, ‘The Porte is desirous of arrang- ing the matter, but if Greece and Turkey do not agree the Porte proposes to submit the differences to the decision of the European Powors, American Consul General Heap will not release Romer, the alleged American citizen imprisoned in Constantinople, as the Grand Vizier has informed him that proofs exist of his guilt. The Porte will probably demand Romer's expulsion. The Times’ correspondent at Pesth says:—*The Eastern Roumelian Commission has decided to suspend its labors, return to Constan- tinople and not reassemble at Philippopolis until the middle of next April, The failure of the commission is due to the insufficiency of powers with which the commissioners were endowed to combat Russian and Bulgarian obstruction. Great Britain seems to have persevered the longest, but finally instructed her commissioner to return.

CHINESE NOT WANTED. Saw Francisco, Dec, 18, 1878, The Bulletin says of the memorial to Congres adopted by the Constitutional Conventio: “It puts the Chinese question upon more solid ground than, has yet been found, for it ays down the broad proposition that the Chinese immigration is more of an invasion than anything else, which threatens the substitution of alien workers, tnassimilable and indigestible, for the people of our own race.”” BED CLOUD | INDIANS UNEASY, ro 'HICAGO, Dec, 18, 1878.

Crxcrsnatt, Ohio, Dec, 18, 1878. ‘There were rumors on the streets to-day, which are traceable to very reliable sources, that the freight Pool between hee and the East would be broken within a day or two, and the prices of freight go tumbling again. The trouble © arsse, it scems, about the price of freight on pork from Cincinnati to New York, ‘The pool rate was named 4s thirty-six cents per hundred, and all the lines of railroad running East except the Chesapeake and Ohio agreed to it and pledged themselves to keep up the price. The Chesapeake and Ohio has not been bid- ding for New York business for some time past, and it was thought they would not do so even with the other lines tied up by their pooling arrangement. In this, ever, they UP. were Inistaken. No sooner had the ment be fully com; a d and entered into than the Chesapeake and Ohio mined to renew its freight business to New York, and, being out of the pool, fixed rates to suit itself, occasionally cutting considerably, but usually keeping as near the others as it could to get # share of business. - HOW ‘THE CONTRACT WAS EVADED. About & week ugo it wax noticed by the agents of the pooling lines that their freights on pork had fallen off to nearly nothing, while it was observed that the shipments of that product fr: Brighton station, a way station just onside the city limits, but nearer the stock yards than any of the freight depots, had grown enough ‘to make up the “difference, Brighton, station” ison the line of fhe Hamilton and Dayton aud the Atlantic and Great Western railroads, and though practically in the city is technically beyond the points-arranged for in the pool, It is said that the Great Western was the road to profit mostly by this arrangement, and that they carried pork at from twenty-five to thirty cents per hundred. For their part they say .hat the object of thix pool was practi- cally. defeated by leaving — Chesapeake — and Ohio out of it, and they had the right to get business at way stations at any price they could agree upon, ‘The freight” agents of other roads in the pooling contract are so cha- grined at their stupidity or oversight in omitting Brighton station from the terms of the contract, that they charge the responsibility upon Chicago, saying that they could not keep up prices so long us Chicago is out of the arrangement. Indeed, several of the general managers haye gone up to Chicago to- Gay to try to bring about an arrangement of prices with railroad authorities there; but after all the real trouble about the price.of freights is here, and will not be remedied until a new contract is entered into. BANKING HOUSE FAILURE, SUSPENSION OF THE PRINCIPAL GERMAN HOUSE IN CINCINNATL [BY TELEGRAPH TO THE HERALD.) Cincinnati, Ohio, Dec. 18, 1878. ‘The banking house of C. F.
