DEPARTURE OF THE AFGHAN AMBASSADORS FROM TASHEEND—THE ANGLO-APGHAN NEGO- TIATIONS, {BX CABLE TO THE HERALD.) Tasuxenp, Turkestan, March 10—-6:03 A. M. Yesterday the Afghan ambassadors took leave of General Kaufmann, who, acting under instructions from the Czar, sent no message for Yakoob Khan, the new Ameer of Cabul. The death of Shere Ali seems to have severed all ties between the Afghans and Russians. Leaving General Kaufmann the ambassadors next called upon and took leave of General Rasgonoff and the Heratp correspondent. They asked the latter a great many questions concerning General Grant. The Afghans will start for Cubul to-morrow morning. : i Lonpon, March 11, 1879. Sir Stafford Northcote, replying to an inquiry in the House of Commons last night, stated that the government is iow on the eve of communi- eations with Yakoob Khan; perhaps negotia- tions have already commenced. The Times’ cor- respondent at Candahar says:—“I'wo thousand members of various predatory bands are col- lected thirty miles from here and are looting viltages in the namo of the Ameer and Moham- medanism. The respectable inhabitants incline to assist the British agaiust them, but we are unable to send columns because of scarcity of transport.” ‘ A despatch to the Daily News from Jellalabad announces that Major Cavagnari has sent a/ eo to Cabul with proposals to treat with ‘akoob Khan. , THE BURMAH MASSACRES, MAVETY OF EUROPEAN [RESIDENTS THREAT- . ENED—A ROYAL SAVAGE AT WORK. [ex caBLE To THE HERALD.) Catcurra, May 10, 1879, The state of affairs in Mandalay is creat- ing grave Anxiety. The garrisons in British Burmah have béen doubled. The Burmese have interrupted the telegraph line be- tween Rangoon and Mandalay, but the situation in Upper Burmah is regarded as very seriops for European residents. It is stated that while the recent massacres at the instance of the King only amounted to forty, the killing was attended by every possible atrocity. The victims were beaten and kicked. The women were shamefully abused. The royal princes were reserved to the last and made to witnoas the torture and death of their families. The bodies of all the victims wero thrown into old wells. THE BISMARCK-LASKER QUARREL, 4& SCENE IN THE GERMAN REICHSTAG—THE CHANCELLOR GETS ANGRY—DASSOLUTION AN+ TICIPATED—EMIGRATION, (Bx capLE TO THR HERALD.) Lonpox, March 10, 1879. Farther details are published respecting the Bismarck-Lasker episode in the recent debate in the German Reischtag. On Saturday last Prince Bismarck was referring to the smug- gling of cattle, and took occasion to uccuse the liberals of having made the penal code so mild thot it protected criminals instead of citizens. Herr Lasker, in replyimg, auid that Prince Bis- marck’s aggression showed where was the true element of disorder in the declutes. He intimated that the first aim of the gugging law should be to contro) the language of the govern- ment. Prince Bismarck replied, and an angry controversy ensued. During the same debate Prince Bismarck ostentatiously quitted the House twice to avoid the disagreeable necessity of listening to the speeches of Herr Richter (progressist). The Berlin correspondent of the Daily News says the House was greatly amused at this demonstration; but some of the older members viewed tho matter more sqriously. Aye sites i imyression that Prines Bis- ‘k was de! tly trying to provoke the Diet, and that a dissolution is imminent. It is certain that things cannot much longer continue asnow. The National Zeitung says that the re- port concerning the dissolution of the Reichstag are not altogether without foundation. A Berlin despatch to the Post says overything that has occurred during the yast few days seems to add to¢he probability of a dissolution of the Reich- stag. Tho Standard’s Berlin correspondent ex- presses v sitmilur opinion. He also says Herr Deebrueck has refused to mediate between Prince Bismavek and the free traders. Biswarck insists upon duties on corn and cattle. Prince Bismarck, during the sitting, promised to furnish statistics relative to emigration. He snid that the movement is greater from the less popu- lous districts, such as Mecklenburg, Pomerania, West Prussia and Posen. When, however, the tenure of land was rendered more favorable, and agriculture and manttfactures rendered mutually supporting, he anticipated a decrease in omigra- tion, The same correspondent swys:—“At a Parliamentary svirée of Saturday the Chancellor baid that partial disarmament was impossible, Germany, at least, could not begin, Untorta- nately she had to show front in four different directions, and could trust none of her neigh- bore.” ‘Khe Post's Berlin despatch suys that Herr, Wrangemann, of the Berlin Missions Society, publicly calls upon Germany to demand satisfaction from England for expelling the Ger- man missionary, Brune, from Natal on tlie charge of sedition. THE DE BROGLIE IMPEACHMENT. FURTHER REVELATIONS—M, GAMBETTA'S OPIN- 1ON—A MAJORITY ¥OR IMPEACHMENT PROB- ABLE. {BY CABLE TO THE HERALD.) Loxpow, March 11, 1879. The République Frangaise, of Paris, pro- nounees decidedly against the impeachment of the De Broglie-Fourtou Ministry. It says:— “The report of the committee, while ably group- ing the acts of the men who openly revolted against the national will, reveals no new facts, aud though the aceused richly deserve to be tried, the prosecution would be big with inconvenience, not to say peril, Even if the Senate gave a verdict of guilty, a trivial sentence could only result.” A Paris correspondent says:—‘This opinion, which is doubtless M. Gambetta’s, will, I think, turn the scale. The moderate papers, such as the Jour- nal des Débats, tlic Temps and the Soir, argue that the m\filtitude of misdemeanors committed by the De Broglie Ministry are sufficiently pun- ished by the failure of most of them; and more- over, they are, barred by the statute of limita- tions. As for the charge against the Roche- bouet Cabinet of organizing a coup @état, al- though the moral proof is strong, there is much doubt whether an overt act could be legally es tablished. ‘The telegraphic correspondence of the Rochebouet Cabinet was most remarkable. ‘Thus General de Grimandet-le-Rochebouct recom- mended the commandant at Lyons to ‘deprive all private persons of arms.’ He telegraphed the commandant at Toulouse, ‘I am told the Ninth regiment cannot be eounted on.’ General Duerot, on being informed that the first attempt to form a liberal Cabinet had failed, telegraphs to General de Grimaudet-de-Rochebouet his thanks, adding, ‘May God and MacMahon be glorified.’ On December 12 General de Grimaudet-de-Roche- bouet télegraphs to the commandant at Ren- nes, ‘Endeavor to be xeady on Thursday. The troops should take all their camp equipage.’ On the 13th of December, the day when the Dufaure Cabinet was formed, General de Rochebouet’ telegraphs to Bordeaux:—‘Pray warn, confidentially, at headquarters. Stop all preparations.’ The report says:—‘President MacMahon, impelled by honesty and enlight- ened by events, did not follow to the end the do- testable counsels of his Ministers.’” In the Chamber of Deputies yesterday the election of M. Fourtou, of the Ministry of the 16th of May, to a seat in the Chamber was con- firmed. It now appears certain that the gov- ernment will have a majority on Thursday on impeachment, even if the entire Right abstain from voting. A Paris despatch to the Standard says it is be- lieved the feeling of irritation in the country against the factious conduct of the radicals is as strong as that againet the Ministry of the 16th of May. . A despateh from Paris to the Daily News says M. Fourtou intends to demand impeach- ment, and will vote in favor of the resolution. . The Daily News’ Berlin despatch maintains ‘that the financial measures, at least, will be laid before the present Reichstag. It is ramored that Dr. Lasker and other national liberals are about to join the advanced liberals. GENERAL EUROPEAN AFFAIRS. ENGLAND OBJECTS TO # CANADIAN PROTECTIVE POLICY—THE NEW SPANISH MINISTEY— TURKEY AND GREECE AGAIN. {BY CABLE TO THE HERALD.) Loxpon, March 11, 1879. That part of the Marquis of Lorne’s speech at the opening of the Domigion Parliament in which he recommended 1 readjustment of the tariff for the purpose of increasing and en- courhging the industries of Canada is attract- ing attention in Parliament. Sir George Campbell has given notice of his intention to ask at a future day whether Her Majesty's gov- ernment is aware that the new Governor Gen- eral is advocating a policy of protection at a time when the home government is striving against a similar policy by foreign governments; and also whether Her Majesty's government considers it desirable to continue’ the connec- tion of this country with Canada under such disadvantageous and humiliating terms. A despatch from Plymouth, dated early this Morning, stutes that a fire has been raging for some hours on board the corvette Thetis, which was preparing to proceed to the Cape. ‘The veasel’s scuppers are now almost level with the water, but the fire is not yet extinguished, The T&etis lies in the same basin as the Northumberland (iron-clad) and several other men-of-war. e THE NEW SPANISH MINISTRY. A Madrid despatch says King Alfonso has signed the decree for the dissolution cf the Cortes, and that a decree suinmoning the new Cortes to meet on May 10 will be gazetted on the 20th inst. Sefior Cardenas has declined the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, and it is said that the Marquis de Molius has finally accepted it. TURKEY AND GREECE, A despatch from Conatantinople says :—“The Sultan declares that he cannot concede more regarding the Greek frontier. There is reason to fear, therefore that the uegotiatious between Turkey and Greece ‘for the rectification of the fronticr wilt be broken off.” Rifoat Pacha, with six battalions of Turkish troops, has entered Adrianople. % FLOODS IN HUNGARY. A despatch from Pesth says that two out of the threo dams protecting the town of Szcgedin from the overtlow of the Theiss River have burst. Five thousand men are working on the remaining one. If this’ one bursts 70,000) = people —s will ~—be —sren- dered hdmeleds, Many villages have already been swept away.” A later despateh from Pesth last night says :—The city of Sze- gedin is now considered to be safe; the water is only rising very slowly. The neighboring vil- lage of Dorozsma, containing 400 houses, his been. totally destroyed. Its inhabitants took refuge on a hill.” A despatch to the Daily News, dated Szegedin, eight o'clock Monday night, says:—“Eighty thousand people are here, including refugees from the country. A stato of siege has been declared. Everybody who is summoned is obliged to work on pain of death. ‘The wind is rising. The water is rushing under the embankment and wants bat a few inches to master us. We await the worst.” ROWING IN ENGLAND, RACER BETWEEN WALLACE ROSS AND FRANK EMMETE FOR TWO HUNDRED POUNDS ON THE THAMES—ROSS THR WINNER—EMMETT, THE ENGLISHMAN, THE FAVORITE AT SIX TO FouR, [Dy CABLE TO THM HERALD.) ( Lonpon, March 10, 1879, ‘A boat raco between Wallace Ross, of St. Jolin, N. B., and Frank Emmett, of Jarrow, for £100 a side, took plave to-day dver the Thames championship course (from Putney to Mortlake) and resulted in a victory for Koss, Emmett led until he had reached ® point about fifty yards below Hammersmith Bridge, when Ross overtook him and drew away, winning ‘the race casily by about cight or ten lengths: The betting at the start was 6 to 4 and 5 to 4 on Em* mett, which were freely Isid. The water was toldrably smooth. Astart was effected at half-past threo P. M., when Emmett at once took the lead and maintained it by about a boat length until tho soap works were reached, when Ross gradually drew away, and just below Hammersmith Bridge took his opponent’s water, and on going under the bridgo was three or four lengths ahead and rowing very coolly and steadily, After passing the bridge both men felt the effect of the rough water in Corney Reach, but after they passed Chiswick the race resolved itself into ® mere procession and Ross won easily—some say by fix, some by eight and others by ten lengths. The umpire, in reply to inquiries, stated that Ross won very easily. At the close of the race Emmett looked rather exhausted, but Ross appeared quite fresh. Wallace Ross is @ native of Dorchester, N. B., is twenty-four years of age, six feet and an inch in height and weighs about 175 pounds when in con- dition for rowing a match. He has had several con- vests in his own country before coming to England, among others with Plaisted, Brayley and Warren Smith, all of whom he defeate1. He then aspired to such game as Hanlan, but here he met more ay match, as Hanian beat him twice—tho first tim October 15, 1877, and the second time at St. John, when in the race Ross fell overboard. It was about one mile from the starting point, when Hanlan was leading a length that Ross put on aspurt to get even with him. In doing so his oar leaped out of tho patent rowlock, the, spring which confined it giving way, and in an instant Ross was thrown into the water. He was rescued by the men in the tug which was following the race. The victory of Ross over Emmott (who has won two good races quite recently on the Tyne) }\as had the effect of making Hanlan's chances with Hawdon appear the more favorable, The following is what tho Sportsman saya of Hanlan, the carsman:—‘‘He is at Brooklands, nesr Manchester, and is going through = dafly routine of strong exercise both afloat and ashore. He will shortly remove to New- castle and go into regular training on the Tyne. At present he is out of condition, us he scales 172 pounds against 148 when he rowed Courtney. Ho also complains that his hands are very tender from lack of work. “A match has been mado between the champion, Elliott, and am unknown, over tho Tyne course, to take place a month after the Hanlan-Hawdon match. ‘Khe mame of the unknown will be doclared on the day of the Hanian-Hawdon match.” THE INTERNATIONAL ROWING MATCH. Loxpow, March 11, 1879. The Sportsman announces that the backers of the champion oarsman, Elliott, have written to ex-Mayor Liddell, of Pittsburg, authorizing that a match with Courtney be made tor two, three or five miles on the Allegheny River, stake and date to bo agreed upon. Elliott demands » minimum of $375 for his expenses. CABLE NOTES.

A PROMINENT KENTUCKY LAWYER MAKES UGLY ASSERTIONS ABOUT UNITED SIATES DETEC- TIVES. (BY TELEGRAPH TO THE HERALD.) 4) Louisvinix, Ky., March 10, 1879. Rather a strange proceeding in a colirt of justice eceurred in the United States Court room to-day, be- fore Judge Bland Ballard, district judge. Colonel Samuel McKee, a well known fepublican lawyer, has been attorney for twenty counterfeiters tried at the present term of the United States Cirenit Court. Colonel McKee had in his possession three dies used for manufacturing spurious coin, which he held to use as evidence in the cases which have not yet been tried. He expressed his perfect willingness to return the diss when the cases “were de- cided. Gabriel @aldwell Wharton, United States District Attorney for Kentucky, dieplaying a lack of confidence in Colonel McKee, prayed the Court for arule compelling Colonel McKee to return the dies to the United States authorities. Colonel Mc- Keo says that ho would have surrendered the dics to the District Attorney or any other officer of the United States Court had he been told that such a would be instituted. A SHOT AT GOVERNMENT DETECTIVES. Colonel McKee filed his response to the rule at once. It was aredhot one. Ho’ stated that he could prove that the government detectives who had ar- rested these ‘ties had themselves both msnufac- tured and sold the spurious coin; that the dies in aestion had been brought into the country by the tives, that his client, Absalom Crabtree, had never had them, nor did they belong to him. Judge Ballard, however, excluded ail testimony dam- ing to the detectives, and after perusing Colonel Mokse's‘romponne remarked that, as he had seen him in conversation With a reporter, be thought that un- less he exerted his influence to haye the matter sup- pressed in the newspapers: he would. fine hinr for contempt of court. Colonel McKee replied that he had no influence over the newspapers, and did not intend to make any efforts one way or the other, He desired to have his side of the story heard.

(BX TELEGRAPH TO THE HERALD.) r Cotumnvs, Ohio, March 10, 1879. ‘The fire excitement still rages. Last night over one thousand men patrolled the city, and while no fires occurred, evidences of preparations for incen- diary work were abundant. A new residenco in pro- coss of constraction was found with the floors on the second story saturated with coal oil In a shed connected with an uptown residence in the heart of the city a roll of paper saturated with coal oil and filled with matches was found. Similar evidences of intended deviltry werd also found in several other buildings. The object of the miscreants working this mischicf is still ® mystery to all. The police hold to the theory that the gang are residents here, inasmuch as strangers could not secure entry to the buildings and deposit combustibles with such effect as the past weex’s work bas shown, ‘THROMIES OF THR BURNINGS. Many theories aro advanced; among them are that ‘an organized gang are working to destroy property out of pure ¢! news; another is that men are doing it to secure work, and another that the Communistic element are doing it to get even with the rich; bu inasmuch as the fires have occurred among rich anc poor alike, the latter theory is not probable, Mer- chants and others have to- received anonym badly written letters, saying end is not yet, that as s00n as present extraordinary precautions are abandoned # general conflagration may be ex- pected. Letters which are evidently int to ter- rorize citizens were found on the streets to-night asking persons oppused to the appointment of rich men to meet for business at stated places, People nover stayod so close at home at night as at present.

A BOOKBINDER'S MATRIMONIAL ADVENTURES BOUND IN TWO YOLUMES—THE WORK RE- VIEWED BY RHODA SMITH. ‘ In a Syracuse paper there appeared on February 18 the following marriage announcement :— Brewer to Long.—At the residence of the officiating Beard, George F. Brewer to Hattie ‘M. Long, of rth city. ‘The bridegroom in this ceremony was yesterday arrested in New York by Central Office Detective Skalley on a chargg of biguiny preferred by the bride. George Brewer was a bookbinder. Two years ago he worked for Messrs. Speight, in William street, and was held to be one of their ‘smartest hands. In the summer of 1877 he was selected as foreman of a large book binding establishment in Toronto, Canada. At tho end of that year he re- moved .to Syracuse, and there set himself up as @ maker of fancy covers, taking into partnership a gentleman culled Brown, who was | generally reported by well informed Syracusans to be the son of an English baronct. ‘The glories of Mr. Brown's escutchcon dazzled Mr, Brewer.

But there was one subject on which Mr. Brewer either could not or would not talk, and that was the marriage he had contracted at New York, in 2854, with an honest, hard working dressmaker, who had borne him six children. Only two of these chil- dren, are. now alive, but they have both becn brought up to regard their father as a model of all the virtues.

However, it appears that sho yielded to the fascinating Brewer, and in Novem- ber last was compelled to, insigt that he should marry her. Brewer did not hesitate. Ho took her, on the evening of November 8, to the house ofthe Rev, A. F. Beard, and that clergyman, learning that the bride was only eightoen, refused to murry her. Whereupon the determined Miss Long went sway, and presontly returned with au elderly lady, presumed to be her mother, who consented to. preside over these hasty .nu Under these conditions Mr. Beard yee the ceremony. He was a little surprised it no notice appeared in the papers until February 18; but this 81 ‘ise turned to amazement when, three days later, received a letter from New York enclosing jographs of the newly married couple and by a woman who claimed to be the bi groom's wife. Brower bal apy. weeny ried his Mr. Brewer apparently car: intrigues too far. He was in the habit, with other sprigs of fashion, of taking meals and occasionally sleeping at the Talbot House, Syracuse. The houackeeper of the Talbot was alady of some thirty-three yeurs, Misa Bhoda Smith. Misa Smith was not fair to outward “wrote an cx- that Mr. Brewer wouldstli bepucesing the butterfly existence of a Syracuse Lothario. Miss Smith began by admiring Mr. Brewer. His jewelry, his ment, and his conversation gave her con- tinual delight. Needless to say, this ration soon. deepened into love. Miss Smith became madly jealous. She was the first to suspect that Mr. Brewer hed clandestincly married Miss Rut Brower waived the point airicat manner, and her jealousy slumbered till February 14, when a fatal valentine was rent to her fickle swain, andin the corner was written, “If not at Talbot House, please return to Mra, Georgo T.

Stung by his ingratitude Mrs. Brower, of New York, wrote to Mr. Beard, the clergyman, IN THE TOILA. And tlius the, toils were slowly cloaing around the bookvinder. [tumors went abroad that under his fancy covers he carried on a business of anap adver- tisements. The father of Hattie Long, by trade, began to make inquiries. Gone’ cuse that a great scan was the point of exploding. And just as these facts pointed to the arrest of Brewer.

Brewer came straight to this city last Saturday week. He was *eclily aware that detectives were shadowing hin. could find no employment in his own line of business. But - Mrap Brewer, the dresemaker, hed forgiven all and her busy needle again supported him. ‘Yester- day morning he left the house and bad just turned the corner into Third avenue when Detective Skelly arrested him. Since his arrest nothin; had n heard from Rhoda Smith, who had become Mrs. Brewer's constant correspondent, and the latter feels convinced that Rhoda has instigated the arrest.
