The Carl Rosa English Opera season, which began at Her Majesty’s Theatre, Hay- market, on the 27th of January, has proved so successful that {# bas been extended in- definitely. This announcement is highly gratifying the of in the English metropolis, as it was gen- erally assumed that the present season is 8 test one for opera in the vernacular. Three years ago Mr. Carl Rosa gave a short season of English opera at the Princess’, Q8 an experiment; two years ago he took the Lyceum for a seven weeks’ season, and in the following year he had a similar season at the Adelphi. Esch season proved, how- ever, financially unsatisfactory, and it is a pleasure to beable to announce the fact that Mr. Rosa’s exertions and devotion to Eng- lish opera have at last been crowned with artistic and financial success. Tho chief operas of the present season have been Rich- ard Wagner’s “Rienzi” and Bizet's ‘Car- men.” In the former Mr. Maas took the part of the Roman Tribune and achieved a most remarkable. success, as also did Mme. Vanzini, as Irene, the Tribune's sister. The opera was produced in a style worthy of the court theatres of Germany, with a splendor of scenery, a brilliancy and archwological correctness of costume, that took London completely by surprise. ‘So gorgeous a spectacle,” says an English jour- nal, ‘‘was never before seen within the walls of Her Majesty’s Theatre.” ‘Lhe English version of Bizet’s “Carmen” proved equally successful. Mme. Dolaro played the part of the Spanish gypsy girl, and Mr. Walter Bolton proved a worthy successor of Del Puente as Escamillo. Giraud’s opera, ‘‘Pic- golino,” failed to attract in London, though it met with enthusiastic success when first performed in Dublin, with Miss Gaylord as the heroine. Other operas given were Meyerbeer’s ‘Huguenots,” Balfe’s “Bohemian Girl” and Benedict’s “Lily of Killarney.” ‘The opera. is crowded nightly by, the leaders of the fashionable world, and the papers hope that Mr. Rosa will succeed in making English opera a permanent insti- tution in the English metropolis, THE TRANSVAAL REPUBLIC. TRANSVAAL REPUBLICANS PREPARING TO) ELECT A PRESIDENT—THE BOERS AND THE ZULUS, [Bx cCaBLE TO THE HERALD.) Loxpoy, March 1, 1879. to lovers opera Aftairs in the Transvaal are causing con- siderable anxiety in Cape Town. Spe- cial despatches from there state that a Transvaal delegate told Governor Sir Bartle Frero that the people of Transvaal unanimously desire their independence: The Governor replied that it was impossible to grant this. It is reported that Cransvaal is preparing to elect a President. A special Sespatch from the corresponpent of the Daily News at Cape Town states:—“It is reported that the republicans intend to reconvene the old Volksraad, which was dissolved by Sir Theophilus Bhepstone, and elect a President of the Transvaal Republic. It is reported also that a majority of the Transvaal Boers decline to take part against the Zulus. A despatch from Cety wayo to General Kruger, @ former President of the Transvaal, asking the Boers to remain neutral, has been intercepted. The commander of a Dutch station had seized and sent back to the Zulus cattio captured and sold to tho sct- tlers, on the ground that the Zulus might be ex- pected to invade the Transvaal to recapture their property. A British magistrate had issued a war- rant for the arrest of the commander, but an attempt to execute it would probably be forcibly resisted. The leaders of the Dutch party protest against these reports and against suspicions of an alliance, present or pros- pective, between the Boers and the Zulus. It is to be noted also that many Boers are serving efti- ciently with Colonel Wood's column, and the Trans- vaal is itself threatened both by Secococni and by the Kaflirs within its borders. Other English jour- nals think there is no reasonable foundation for the apprehensions expressed in the special despatch to the News, ° THE VATICAN. DEATH OF CARDINAL GUIDI—THE CONSISTORY— DR.

AMNESTY BILL-—-EGYPTIAN FI- NANCE—THE GREEK FRONTIER QUESTION, (BY CABLE TO THE HERALD.) Lonpos, March 1, 1879. In the debate on the Amnesty bill, continued in the French Senate on Friday afternoon, M. C. Royer, Minister of Justice, said he would not deny that persons unworthy of pardon might return to Paris, but this need not cause any alarm. If any of them showed ingratitude the government would know how to be rigorous. In the Chamber of Deputies to-day M. Lisbonne, member of the Left, interrogated M. Marcere as to his reasons tor stopping the inquiry into the malpractices of the Police Department. M. Marcere, amid perfect silence among the Left, defended the police and protested in a vehement and agitated voice, against the calumnies, such as charges of financial jobbing, which had been uttered against himself. By mutual consent the Chamber resolved to turn the matter at issue into au interpellation, which was tixed for Monday. EGYPTIAN FINANCES. A Paris despatch to the Times says that France has asked time before agreeing to joint action with Eng- land for the reinstatement of Nubar Pacha in the Egyptian Ministry. It is not a very easy under- taking to obtain ‘the Khedive’s consent to Nubar Pacha’s return either as Minister of Foreign Affairs and Minister of Justice, or of Foreign Affairs only, particularly if, as alleged, the Khedive pro- poses to offer the portfolio of. Justice to a represen- tative of a third foreign nation, France and Eng- land, when once they intervene, cannot submit to refusal, and France, before coming to a decision to act with England in this matter, had to weigh caro- fully the resolutions which, in the event of refusal, would be forced upon her. In this connection it may be interesting to note that the British iron-clad Raleigh has just arrived at Alexandria, THE GREEK FRONTIER QUESTION. The Times’ correspondent at Constantinople says:—‘The French and English “Ambassadors have informed the Porte that they could not assure it that their respective governments would support the first Turkish proposal relative to the Greek boun- dary, as it is not based upon the Treaty of Berlin. A later despatch says that the Council of Ministers has now elaborated and despatched to Moukhtar Pawha, the Turkish Boundary Commissioner, a pro- ject which it thinks, though not ceding all that the Greeks desire, will afford a basis for negotiations. CABLE NOTES. . {BY CABLE TO THE HERALD.} Lonpon, March 1, 1879, Marshal MacMahon visited the Museum of Deco- rative Art in Paris on Friday. Consequently, the ex-President cannot be so ill as reported. The German Consul at Odessa, Dr. Blau, has com- mitted suicide. It is supposed that the act was in consequence of a severe reprimand which he had re- ceived from Berlin. Count Schouvaloff, the Russian Ambassador to London, is about to visit Russia for a short time on private personal affairs. The rumors afloat in Lon- don attaching political significance to his journey are said to be unfounded. A despatch from Tashkend, printed in the St. Petersburg Gazette, says that the rcbellion against the Chinese government in Kashgar has been com- pletely crushed, and tho remnants of the defeated force are returning to Russian territory. ‘The St. Gothard post sleighs were struck by an avalanche and the driver was’ killed. Several per- sons were-drowned in the Lake of Geneva during the recent storm. The damagoin the canton of Vaud alone is £10,000 ($50,000), Fifteen fect of snow is reported in Schleswig. A publication issued by a Russian secret press de- clares that fhe Governor of Charkoff, whose assussin- ation was announced by cable, had been condemned to death by the Russian socialist party for inhuman treatment of political prisoners, The act of assas- sination was consequently executed by one of that party. The publication charges the Governor with beating students nearly to death, and concludes with the declaration of “Death for death, terror for terror. This is our answer to all threazs and persecutions of the government.”’ Queen Victoria is to leave London at the end of March for the Continent. The Telegraph says she will rest one night at the British Embassy, in Paris, and proceed thence to the Italian States, where she will be met by the Duke and Duchess of Connaught, who will be there on their wedding trip. Prince Amadeus, Duke of Aosta (ex-King of Spain), will meet the Queen at the Italian frontier, while King Humbert will meet her at Lake Mag- giore. From Italy the Queen will proceed to Ger- many. The cotton masters of north and northeast Lan- cashire have met at Manchester’ and resolved to recommend that the Biackburn “standard list’ be generally adopted for the regulation of weavers’ wages. The change implies a reduction. The decision in regard to the wages of spin- ners was postponed. Two thousand weavers at Congleton have already refused to submit. The Clyde shipwrights have accepted, without resistance, the increase of their working hours from fifty-one to fifty-four hours a week. The shipbuilders’ strixe at Newcastle-on-Tyne has been compromised, mutual concessions having been made.

Official ‘sacaitaicaasile of the Ameer’s Death. SKETCH OF HIS LIFE. Rise and Progress of the Aighan Empire. [Bx CABLE TO THE HERALD.) Loxpow, March 1, 1879. The Viceroy of India telegraphs that he has received the following letter from Yakoob Khan, son of Shere Ali, Ameer of Afghanistan, dated the 26th of February:— YAKOOB KHAN’S LETTER, “News has been received here of the death of my father on the 21st of February. As my father was an old friend of the British government I send the information out of friendship.” SKETCH OF SHERE ALI, AMEER OF AFGHANISTAN, The cable despatch from London this morning announces the death at ‘Taskourgan on February 21 of Shere Ali, Ameer of Afghanistan, The circum- stance of his death occurring at this time, when he was @ voluntary fugitive from his capital, and when his country was imvaded and conquered by an Angio-Indian army, renders the event ono of great political importance in the history of Cen- tral Asia, It is remarkable that the information reaches Europe through Lord Lytton, Viceroy of India, to whom Yakoob Khan, Shere Ali's third son and the present occupant of the Afghan throne, writes. Tho history of Afghanistan for the last hundred years is cmbodied in the story of the Durani dynasty. It 1s a tale of rulers rather than of people. Therefore it becomes impossible to clearly understand the ob- ject and ambition of Shere Ali’s life without sketch- ing briefly the careers of the two great warriors who preceded him and converted the petty throne of Cabul into a powerful monarchy—from a 4is- organized principality into a formidable kingdom. Persia, under the rule of the conqueror Nadir Shah, developed carly in the last century into a far reaching and powerful empire. Vast tracts of country to the east and northoast were added. India was invaded and Delhi sacked. In these wars of devastation the Afghans, under the leadership of Ahmad Khan, formed the most formidable contingent of Nadir Shah's army. The assassination of the Shah in 1747 threw the empire into anarchy, and Ahmad Khan, quick to perceive his opportunity, determined to alienate the entiro eastern portion of the Persian territory. Out of the ruins of these great conquests rose, in the eastern part of what was then Persia, the Durani monarchy. Ahmad Khan, the head of the ancient family of Sudu, not only made Cabul independent, but added to it most of the neighboring Khanates, as well as the Punjab. Thrice did he carry fire andthe sword to the very gates of imperial Delhi. At his death tho history of the Persian monarchy repeated itsclf in Afghanistan. All save the province of Herat was lost quicker than it was gained. There, however, a younger branch of the Duranis, called tho Baruckzye, was thoroughly alive to the situation, and its Chief, young Dost Mahomct, was on his feet. Hedeveloped into the most remarkable Asiatic of the present century. He was a son of Poyndsh Khan by a Kizzilpashbash woman and was a brave warrior, but fought unsuccessfully. Ho valiantly attacked the Sikhs, who had reconquered the Punjab, but in his terrible defeat at Jamrud he lost 12,000 of his ardent followers. Then occurred the act that marked him as a monarch among men. From warrior he turned diplomatist. The union of the English interests with those of the Sikhs and the fatal occupation of Cabul were not prevented, be- cause any attempt of the kind was seen to be useless, But when the country was in actual possession of the Anglo-Indians disaster to the victors began on every hand. The Peshawur ‘Treaty of 1855, between the Ameer of Cabul and the English, secured Dost Mahomet from further danger on the southward, and although Persia by a coup de main snatched Herat from his grasp, he turned his eyes to the northward. Then the tide of his aggrandizement set in. Beyond the Hindoo Koosh lay several princi, palities which have in the world’s history passed through more vicissitudes of government than any other semi-independent territories on tne globo. In several dashing campaigns, marked with ail his early vigor and generalship, Dost Mahomet overran Balkh, Kundus, Khulm and Sari- pul, and finally welded them all into an §Afghan province, with its chief town at Balkh. Finally, he turned his eyes toward his native land and deter- mined to reconquer and annex Herat. England, who had been a party to the ‘Treaty of Paris, sanctioned a breach of this document to suit her own purposes, and in 1858 the territory became part of Afghanistan. At this time Candahar was indepen- dent, and its Khan, encouraged by the success of the Afghan chief, wrested Ferrah, the southern portion of the governorship of Herat, from its weak ruler. But Dost Mahomet, having already occupied the city of Herat, demanded the restitution of Ferrah from Candahar. A refusal was the signal for rapid campaign, which endod in ernshing the Khan and in the annexation of all his dominions to Cabul. Under such schooling the subject of this sketch, Shere Ali, who was born about 1824, was raised. A glance at the family tree will indicate at once his own career and those of his children: —~ ~ Dost Mahomet (d. 1863.) at Te 2 Re a Mahomet | Mahomet — Mahomet — Shere Ali, Afzul Khan, Azim Kuan.

The succession was marked by the same disturb. ances that followed Ahmad Khan's death, Civil war spread like a contagion throughout the country. Shere Ali, although the third surviving son of Dost Mahomet, ascended the throne by his father’s express wish. He was recog. nized by the English at once, & species of diplomacy sadly at variance with the British theory of 1839-40 that the elder branch of tho Durani line was entitled to the throne. As if this act were not inconsistent enough, during the next six years England “turned coat” and began to support the claims of Azim, Shere Ali's elder brother, It was not to be supposed that Shere Ali's elder brothers, Azim and Afzul, would quietly acquiesce in being dispossessed of what they considered their lawful inheritance; and the Ameer of Bokhara availed himself of the prevailing contusion to reassert his claims to the provinces north of the Hindoo Koosh. Azim and Afzul at first fled to Indian torritory, and it was from this place of safety that the plan of the following campaign was arranged: So desperate did Shere Ali's chances seem in a short time that the Indian government began to encoarage Azim by expressions of sympathy, douQticss hoping that, should he be successful in Cabul, ho would be disposed to defend British interests, Shere Ali established his headquarters at Candabar, for at Cabul the followers of his brothe: were ina majority; but carly in 1866, having suc- ceoded in raising an army of 30,000 men, he advanced to encounter the forces of Azim, After some hesitation on oither side to bring matters to a conclusion the rival armies met in the plains to the southeast of the capital, and after a hard fought engagement Shere Ali was driven from the field, with the loss of all bis artillery and some thousands of his followers. with the remnants of his forces to Candahar, where he re-established communications with Herat, then yoverned by his son, Yakoob Khan. In March, 1567, the fortunes of Shere All were at their lowest ebb, and it seemed almost impossible that, after two disastrous campaigns, he should ever make head against his victorious broth- ers. Indeed, such was the Ameer’s own convictions, and he accordingly made overtures to the Russians for aid, promising to hold Afghanistan as a fief at their hands. On the death of Afzul, in 1867, Azim was left in divided control with his nephew, Abderrahman, of Cabul, and was acknowledged as ruler by the English government. But the Afghan rivals, both he of Cabul and he of Herat, continued undecided which Power they should detinitely ally themselves with; and Ruscia spared no diplomatic effort to confuse the public mind as to her intentions, and to keep both pretenders, as the saying is, “on her books.” In this she succeeded well, Azim Khan, although possessing that part of Afghanistan nearest to British India, at last placed himself without reserve in the hands of his Russian advisers. Intrigues were none the less carried on by Muscovite agents with Shere Ali; but. whether this potentate was less credulous of the disinterestedness of his would-be allies, or well informed of their transactions in Cabul, these did not produce any permanent result. So it eame to pass that, although Shere Ali never entered into any express alliance with England, and although the British had more than once repudiated him, the’Eng- lish interests were supposed to be represented by the younger son of Dost Mahomet, while the Russian were by the elder. A strange diplomatic tangle, to be sure, ‘YRIUMPHS OF YAKOOB KHAN. Up to this point in the history of the civil war Shere Ali had always conducted his army in person, while his son preserved the frontier of Herat agaitist the cravings of the Persians. Now, how- ever, he was induced to place that son in the chief command of his troops, aud from that momout the war took a diametrically opposite com- plexion to that which it had before worn, A rapid march on Candahar placed that important town again in the possession of Shere ali, and Yakoob Khan, with true military prescience, secured the country in his rear by occupying Quettah and Khelat, At this moment a quarrel between Azim and Abderrahian occurred to increase still further the chances of success on the side of Shere Ali. Nothing daunted by the detection of his nephew, Azim assembled all the troops at Lis disposal and set out from Cabul to meet the youthful Sirdar Yakoob Khan. Azim's forces were more numerous than those of the son of Shere Ali, and they were knit together by firmer links than the hastily collected levies of Yakoob Khan, Ho was, however, equal to the occasion, and by two or three forced marches he reached Ghizni before Azim, although the latter had not half the dis- tance to traverse. So bold @ measure not only put fresh courage into his own soldiers, but it also struck a panic into the heart of the government and people of Cabul, for Ghizni is only seventy-five miles distant from that city. Ho drove everything before him. EVENTS LEADING 10 THE WAR. Shere Ali was at last thoroughly and peacefully master of his country. The Anglo-Indian govern- ment had in 1863 endeavored to repair its mistake, and now, in reply to the courteous letter of Shere Ali, it was determined that some special mark of Eng- lish friendship should be bestowed on him, Accord- ingly, the Viceroy, the late Lord Mayo, invited the Atghan ruler to a grand durbar at Umballa; and the success of this gorgeous ceremonial was supposed to be complete. Shere Ali went home convinced of Great Britain’s immense power and omnipotence. It is ag well, perhaps, to bear in mind that other au- thorities affirm that he was only impressed with a belief in the enormous loot that would be at the disposal of an Indian conqueror. On his returr to Cabul he at once commericed the reor- ganization of his forces on the European system, Up tothe end of 1572 Shere Ali was chiefly guided in his policy by this son, who held the post of Vizier, or Prime Minister and Commander-in-Chiet com- bined; but: a palace intrigue was already on foot to oust him from his position and to supplant him in the heirship by Shere Ali's youngest son, Abdulla Jan. Yakoob Khan was not the man to tamely submit to the loss of his heritage, in the gaining of which, too, he had borne so prominent a part, and he fled from the palace to his former gov- ernorship at Herat. Here forsome time he maintained his independence, but at last he fell into the power of his father. In all probability but for the energetic interference of the British government he would have been summarily executed; as it was he was placed in captivity. An almost impene- trable mist shrouds the history of these last few. years of internal warfare, and not- withstanding the rumors uninterruptedly sent from Cabul, it is not known what has been the exact fate of this gallant soldier. The faction of Ab- dulla Jan (the young Prince who died last year) com- manded no weight in the country and was purely a Court clique, while .Yakoob Khan was not only the favorite of the army but also popu- lar with the people. When the war broke out, after Shere Ali's defiance to the English, the progress of the invaders was so rapid that the Ameer gathered his money and bis women about him and set out to the northward for Mazar-i-Skarif. Before leaving he reinstated Yakoob Khan in his affections and left him in charge of the government. The death of Shere Ali will hardly raise the question of the suc- cession. TUDOR’S LONG RIDE. THE PATAGONIAN PILGRIM RESTING AT THE VIRGINIA CAPITAL WAITING FOR HIS BAG- GAGE. [BY TELEGRAPH ‘TO THE HERALD.) Rrcumonp, Va., March 1, 1879. Mr. St. Patrick Tudor, who is now attempting the ride between New York and Punta Arenas, Patagonia, arrived in Richmond last night at seven o’ck having accomplished the march from Fredericks- burg in two days and from Washington in five days, Mr. ‘Tudor is looking extremely weil and hearty, much bronzed with exposure, but evidently “hard as nails.” On his leaving Washington a crowd of some threo thousand people took a cordial leave of him, His companion (Mr. Duffy) showed the white feather at Alexandria, and for the second time deserted the expedition. Mr. Tudor then was reduced to the necessity of hauling @ very unwilling “Leader” along about seventy miles of infamously neglected roads, in many places nothing but quagmires in the midst of tho forest, to Fredericksburg, passing through Acotink, Mount Vernon, Ne- coquin, Dumfries, Stafford Court House and Falmouth to Fredericksburg. At this spirited little city he received a warm ovation and was set on his way by a throng comprising most of the leading in- habitants. Mis horses were freely entertained by Mr. Garrett, while & merely nominal sum was ¢ him at the leading hotel of the city. EH rived at Golanaville on Thursday evening, in company with a youth named Hamilton, who joined him at Fredericksburg, to try his hand in expeditionary service, and who so far gives great satisfaction, ‘The two left Golansville yestorday (Friday) morning at half-past eight o'clock, and hed a slow but prosperous march to Richinond, Me, Tudor apy vars incapable of fatigue or low spirits, talks wit creased confidence of the future and is loud in praise of his dun mare Igge Minn, which has come from New York without turing a hair, NO BET ON THE ENTERPRISE, He expressed himeeltas very indignant at the pub- lication by the Washington Republican that he had a bet of $50,000 in connection with the ride.

HIS DEBTS LIKELY TO REACH SIX MILLION DOL- LARS—WILL THE CHURCH PROPERTIES STAND- ING IN HIS NAME BE SOLD TO PAY CREDITORS? {BY TELEGRAPH ‘YO THE HERALD.) Crxersnatt, March 1, 1879. Archbishop Purcell’s financial troubles conttiue to be the talk of the city, noc only in religious circles, both Protestant and Catholic, but among the bankers and business men, all or nearly all sympa- thizing with him that such a great blow should fall upon a man of his advanced years, and whose absolute ignorance of all the rules of business render him an object of pity. Lo-day some four or five suits were filed in the Superior Court against him for money loaned him, One of these suits was by An- drew Hageman for $3,385 loaned him on the 23d of December, or about the time it first began to be whispered that his affairs would likely be involved in the failure of Hernan & Co, Another suit was en- tered against him for $6,000 by Henry Hemelgorn, one of the fricnds who was most anxions a few weeks ago to have him put his affairs in the hands of trustees for settlement. The tiling of these suits will undoubtedly drive him into making an assignment, and the liability of the Chureh property, vested in his name, for the pay- ment of these debts will be the first thing to settle. The belief is pretty general now that the courts of this State will decide that church property cannot be sold to pay these debts. THE D ‘S LIKELY TO RI H SIX MILLION DOLLARS. ‘The trustees, whe ppointed some six weeks ago to settle up tue matter, have about $800,000 of property in their hands aside froim the realty on which the churches stand, but up to this time have done nothing toward disposing of any of it. Their work thus far has been to take account of all claims as they were presented, with view to ascertaining — the actual = amoant of his indebtedness. ‘This indebtedness has continued to swell until now it reaches $5,109,000, and the Abend Post (German paper, a Catholic organ) of to-day says thut it will be $6,000,000 betore the claims are all in. ‘The entering of suits can only end in displacing this Board of ‘Frustees and in the appoint- ment of assignees under the State law to settly up the estate. THE LOTYERY PRosKCT, ‘The proposition to establish a lottery to hold drawings at frequent intervals and devote the profits to the payment of the debt docs not meet with much favor. ‘lhe Hexaup correspondent has talked with a Jarge number of the State Legislature to ascertain if there was any probability of such a bill becoming a law. The answer of these law- makers, without a single exception, wes “No;”” that any bill looking toward establishing a lottery in the State could stand no chance of passage by them. Yo add to this improbability a protest has beon prepared by 4 meetmg of the Evangcli- cal Ministers’ Association (Protestant), pet tioning the Legislature against any ‘evasion of the constitutional article against lotteries. ‘Lhis is being citculated all over this city, and will to-morrow be signed numerously in the churches, and if there had ever been any probability of such a grant being made the opposition to 1t would be so decided that the Legislature could not afford to dis- regard it. CHA! $ IN NEIGHBORING STATES. also have a constitutional provis- ion against lotter,»*, and there would be no chance to evade it there. Tuc only way they cau possibly get up the proposed scheme would be by getting one of the Kentucky grants and operating it across the river. ‘This is not regarded with much favor by the clergy. The Archbishop himself is not in the city at present. He went out to the Seminary a few miles west of the city day before yesterday, intending to remain in retirement through the lenten season. YH LOOSESE KIND OF BOOKKEEPING. Father Edward Purcell, his brother, on whose shoulders most of the blame for the financial mis- management rests, remains here and gives what in- formation he can to the trustees, but still it is of little actual value to them.
