LoNvoN, Avgust 10 - In the com- mons Gladstone stated Admiral Sey- mour has given the khedive distinct assurances relative to the ntentions of the governmont. The indefinite cceupation of Egypt, he said, was not contemplated. The ultimate condi- tion of Egypt could not ba settied by any one power. AFFAIRS IN EGYPT, ALFxaNDrIa, August 10. - Two of Arabi Pasha’s spies have been cap- tured. Troops will henceforth be sup- plied with water from condensors. Cartright, acting British consvl gener- al, in v'ew of the difficulty of obtain- ing water, has sent a _circular to for- TH YEAR. commons to the house of lords amenc ments to tho arrears bill, Salisbury #aid the object of his amendments to the bill was to pro- vido against Injury to landlords who had solvent tenanta. Ho believed, he said, the bill was a public blunder and that it would not be a final measure. The bill without a provision requiring the assent of landlord would be most pernicious and an act of simple rob- bery, The peers, he acded, who as. sisted in passing his amendments con- sidered it not advisable to reject the bill. He therefore would now chal- lenge a division. Salisbury added the conservative peers at a meoting at his residence to day, decided by an over- whelming majority, that, in view of the state of affairs in Ireland and Egypt, it was not expedient to reject the arrears bill. He said he was not of that opinion, but he found himself in a small majority. All ro-amendments of the commons to the arrears of rent bill were agreed to, after Earl of Limerick and the Marquis of Waterford, conservatives, had added their protests, The chief secretary for Ireland stated in the commons that when the arrears of rent bill becomes a law, the government will take into considera- tion the proposa of the Canadian gov- ernment to grant lands to Irish families, THE LADIES' LAND LEAGUE, DupriN, August 10.—The Ladies’ Land league discussed a resolution proposing the establishment of leagues throughout the country for the pur- pose of teaching the rising generation their country’s history and encourag- ing the circulation of national litera- ture. THE IRISH POLICE STRIKE, The lord licutenant visited the con- stabulary depot at Phanix park to- day and addressed the men. He re- ferred to the wrreproachable character which the constabulary has hitherto borne and expressed & sincero hope that nothing would occur to mar their splendid reputation. He regretted the course the men had adopted and an- nounced that £180,000 will be imme- diately distributed, and that any griev- ance would be imwsdiately inquired into, His statement was enthusias. tically received and the men oxpressed complote confidence in his assurances, The grievances of the constabuiary were in reality o demand for an ad- vance of one shilling a day in pay, in- creased allowances to married men living out of barracks, and an equali- zation of pensions. The disafluction was greatest in Munster aud Con- naught, where the constables have seen pretty severe service during the last two years; four-fifths of the whole force in Ircland sympathised with the movement, and followed the lead set in Limerick. There aro about 13,000 men in the cunstabuliry, eign consuls asking them to inform their respective governments of the great importance ot preventing an in- crease in the number of arrivals here. Arabi Pasha mounted eleven addi- tional guns in his first line of en- . trenchments to-day. THE REBEL DEAD. A Circassian who passed through Arabi Pasha’s camp, states that a col- - onel, captain and subalte:n snd seven- " and eleven batterics are posted along ty-six men were killed on the rebel side in the engugement of Saturday.

DEPARTMENT CROP REPORTS, Wasuisaron, Auguss 10, --The Au. gust crop returns to the department of agricuiture, the work of about 6,000 correspondents, giye eslimates covering the entire producing ares of over 1,600 principal agricultural ¢ un- ties in the United States upon the conditions of most of the orops now growing, The condition of ontton has improved the past month, The weneral avorage advanced from' 92 to 94, Thisis higher by thres points than in August, 1879, and lowe® by 8 than the August average of 1880: also 2 points lower than av this date in 1875, and 1 lower than in 1878, but higher in the five other yeara since 1872, Wheat returns for August relate to apring variety. Its condition is higher than for several years. It wag 88 in 1880 and 81 in 1879 and 1881, It is| now 97, against 100 last month, ; 1t is somewhat late, but nearly ready for harvest at thoe date of returns, There are some indications of rust and blight in_parts of Minnesota, Ia Northern Towa the crop is held to bo the best since 1877. Returns from Dakota and Nobraska are favorable. The general averages of the principal states are as follows : Wisconsin, 99; Minnosota, 98; Towa, 93; Dakota, 99; Nebraska, 103; Colorado, 96, It is quite probable that the product of winter and spring wheat, withous loss by sprouting after harvest, will slightly exceed 500,000,000 bushels, but ex- travagant estimates, which assume 106 to 20 per cent. more, are wild arsump- tions neocdlessly tending to reduce wheat in the hands of farmers. The special agent at the departinent of agriculture, London, cabies to-day that wheat in Eogland promises an average crop of good quatity; in Fran. o a medium crop, slightly damaged b, rain in the blooming period; in Ger" many, recent heavy rains have de- teriorated the quality of a fair abund- ance of the product; Russia and Aus- tria, an average crop, and in Hungary 15 per cent, above the average. The European outlook is favorable for a medium product, with some reduction in quality. The condition of the corncropisrep- resented by 83 as against 77 last yesr, At this date 1n 81 tho effect of he drought was scen in the reduction of 13 points in the general condition during July, followed by greater de- terioration in August. At the pres- ent time circumstances aro favorable for farther improvement in most of the states. The averages of southern states are nearly above 100. The sur- plus of producing states averages as follows: Ohig“?7, Michigan 78, Iu- diana 78, Illinois 59, Towa 70, Mis souri 91, Kansas 106, Nobraska 98; New England ranges from 87 in Mas- sachusetts to 96 in Connecticut; New York 85, Penvsylvania 90, New Jer- sey 93, The general average condition of other crops as follows: Oats 102, spring rye 100, barley 95, buckwheat 97, potatoes 101, tobacco 87.
