The Ashantee War. rnTiSa OCT THE EXrZDITIOX. Tee latest English mail tupplies accounts <: ibe progress of the expedition against re- lra :torj Ashantees. The Lords of the Admir alty have chartered another large vessel, the King Bonny, to convey provisions and other .-tores to the Gold .Coast for the forthcoming ' rpedltion. and she will arrive at the Royal Arsenel, Woolwich, next week, making the fourth ship fitted out at the same place ior the expedition. The Adela, which has nearly < • mpleted her lading, is a long and narrow, hut deep and roomy ship of 750 tons burden, and from the large quantity of stores which La^e been put on board her, as well as from her appeiratce in the water, ; is evident that she is already well freighted. >Le >, however, taking cn board 150 ton- coals for her engines, and to-day she ~u : ; embark 100 tons of gunpowder: but barge loads and wagon loads of stores, espeei- :dJy “ship-bread” or biscuit, continue to ar- -\e for conveyance in her, and some of the people concerned for the safety of the ship : re beginning to get anxious. The policy of •-ending out such a large quantity of provis os two months before the troops who are to oust.me them is also discussed, but iz does not appear that any other stores which are .kely to be more urgently required have been left behind in consequence. The ship has on board sufficient taupaulin to cover up the yrevisions when they are landed, and several Lip loads more wiil have to be sent out be- :ore Sir Garnet Wolseley will be satisfied that army is adequately victualled for the march forward. In addition to THE STOKES already enumerated, the Adela yesterday took :j bo. rd several tons of preserved potatoes, a auiity of Australian meat, several barrels of -.alt and some cases of teannd tobacco. Thirty l^rge hospital marquees have also been em- 'jarked, and numerous casts cf tool3 for engi neers, tinners, carpenters, coopers and other trades me*. There are also cases of signal Tickets and slow-match for the Commodore of the lleet; but the bulk of the stores are addressed to “The Senior Control < dicer,’* indicating the uncertainty which prevails in such a climate as to who may be .eft in command. Some additional cases of filters arrived from London, and were ordered :c* be put on board the Adela, even at the risk n displacing something else; but she will rop down to the powder magazines, after which no general stores will be embarked un til the arrival of the next ship. The hundred k2.es already mentioned were supplemented yesterday by no less than 1,200 others, proving that the work to be doi\e in cutting through the 1 »nsh has not been lightly estimated. The opin- or gains ground that not only a wide road, but A KAILWAY vili be pushed into the interior; and recent events have also dispelled the hopes which j ; revailed that Sir Garnet Wolseley would be able to deal with the Ashantees by means of the native troops alone, without calling for he two regiments at home, who are detailed ,or the expedition. A number of the China i arrows in store have already been converted > the Royal Carriage Department into trucks suitable for this service, and handed over to the Comptroller—Major General H. W. Gor don, C. 15.—for shipment. These trucks are filled with hooks for coupling two or more to gether, and they seem capable of answering all the requirements of lightness, s'rength und durability. The Victor Emmanuel, seventy-nine, screw -.hip, 3,087 tons, GOO horse power, has been taken into dock at Portsmouth. She is to be lilted for service as a hospital ship at Cape Coast Castle, and in order that the necessary preparations may be completed as soon as possible, a large number of workmen have :>een sent on board. A detachment of the 'fifteenth regiment has left Haslar for Cape Castle. There was slight insubordination among some of the men, owing to a misunder standing about their pay. About a dozen or fourteen were placed under arrest. Sunbeams- A natter of Limoges, named A'.aimjnetas, Lai. jest died at the age of 105. The Democrats of Minnesota have deter mined to support the farmer’s ticket. The Russian Mennonites will not settle in Dakota. They don't like the country. They ..re going to Kansas. Last year the county courts in England legistered 747 orders for the protection of wives deserted by their husbands. A tract of hematite iron ore has been clis- overed in Shropshire, England, and 1,100 . res have been secured by certain Statlord- shire road masters. 3 he Federal officeholders of Mississippi are being assessed $25 to #50 each for cam paign purposes. Frobably they hasn't re vived any copies of the civil service rule. Princo Roland Bonaparte, grand-nephew of Napoleon I., and second cousin of the late Emperor, has just entered the Royal Naval ~:hool in England as a pupil. Collector IViUir.er, of Alabama, Kembled raO.OOO of internal revenue. Orders have ’..eon sent from Washington to find out wheth er be can be forced to divide any of it. Cspt. Caulfield and the Rev. Mr. Jackson killed a notorious man-eating tiger with -trjehnine recently in Madras, India. The tiger for the last three years had killed a man a week on an average. Intoxication is still very prevalent among the tnops in India. In the Bengal army in >72 there were 12,348 cases of drunkenness. In "1870 there were 18G cases of delirium tre mens in the same army. Four Houston Aldermen are charged with offering to vote for the removal of quarantine on vessels from Galveston for $2,000. This salo of the public health is a novel method of -ddition and division. At the trial of a case during the late As- -h.es at Liverpool, after it had proceeded for a .out two hours, the Judge, observing signs f mystification among the jury, asked them they understood the case, to which they ; plied that they did not in the least. The • udge said he could not either, and was com pletely in the dark as to what it was about. The learned Judge, in summing up, charac terised the whole case as “ridiculous from neginning to end.” The jury wero convinced that the evidence was so unsatisfactory that they could not give a verdict. The cultivation of the cinchona plant, from which quinine is obtained, has been attended with great success in India. There are now 539,285 plants in the Government planta tions on the Neilgherry Falls alone, without counting those of private planters. The largest trees are thirty and a half feet high, and over three feet in girth aronnd the trunk. The bark under cultivation is much richer in quinine and the other febrifuge alkaloids than the wild bark of South America. This year 2- ,000 pound of bark will be sent to England. The alkaloid is manufactured on the spot very cheaply, and hundreds of fever patients r.re thus annually cured by the local medical stores. There is one place, at least, in this broad land where woman can get justice, and that is in the Cleveland police court. Last Friday one R. J. Wenham caused the arrest of Mrs. i. D. Titus on a charge of assault and battery, t appeared from the testimony that Wenham called at Mrs. Titus’ bouse to collect a bill, and in the interview with that lady, which was not entirely harmonious, he made a re mark derogatory to her character, whereupon she slapped his face. After hearing this story Justice Abbey, turning to the accuser, said: •‘If yon should call at my house and make su h a remark to my wife you would probably get something worse than yon got from this woman.” The gallant Justice then bade Mrs. -Titus to depart in peace, and Mr. Wenham bad to pay about five dollars in the way of costs.
