1-1 Two extraordinary outrages in Lahore this week have really startled the public into very unusual excitement. The Judge of the Small Cause Court murderously attacked for the execution of bis duty, and the Assistant Secretary to the Municipality similarly assaulted without any cause whatever. The Judge, Monshee Jaishee Ram, only lived about thirty hours after, during which time he waa wholly insensible. Mr. Bull was partly protected from the blowB of his assailant by his solah topee and he is in a fair way to recover.

Yesterday the preliminary inquiries took place in the courts of the Deputy and A sal slant Commissioners. There were features in both cases that were calculated to attract serious attention. The assailant of the Judge waa a Sikh, of the new Kooka Beet, the name of which is now connected with the recent murders at Umritsur and Haikote. The assailant in ihe other case was fakir, who, while he Btruck, cried out, Ptra ba-dal gya pera badal gya" which is said to signify, "Your watch is over, your raj is These facts could not fail to connect themselves in men's minds with the rumors of a secret Sikh and Mussulman combination, of intended bread-poisoning and plunder and burning, of plotting in Lahore and Umritsur, and Jullunder ap.d Peshawar, of secret meetings in small villages, of Kooka schemes, aad the thousand and -one stories that have been floating about of late. Over and above this, people had a sense of being deserted.

The Government and all bads of Departments were at the hills, th railway had broken down, the regiments at Meean Meer were under-otllcered, the very volunteers had sent their arms to the store. The effect, then, of two murderous outrages of such a marked character, within twelve hours of each other, was not calculated to soothe anxiety. Fortunately it turns out that there was no connection between the crimes, aad that they were tiie mere im pulse of the criminals alone. Bishen Singh, the assassin of the judge, has been condemned to be hanged. Mr.

Moffatt, a self-made Antipodian millionnaire, died recently is London. A few years ago he built a vast mansion in Victoria, and surrounded it witn paras and wardens, after the manner of a grand English place. Knowing moreover that the homes of the British aristocracy are not considered complete without a library, he sent a broad order home for "a ton of books."

Baltimore, October 25 In the Episcopal Convention the report of the Committee on Canons, approving th declaration of oowers of the Federal Council of the State of New York, was sdopted. The Prayer Book Committee report that they found an edition deviating from the edition printed under oepyrighl.

A resolution condemning aa unlawful the Albany edition of the prayer book was laid over. The committee reported a new canon providing a method lor the restoration of deposed clergymen, upon promising conformity to the doctrine, discipline and worship of the church, provided the cause of deposition is not a crime or immorality. A similar provision is proposed for ministers who have abandoned com munion with the church, and who may desire to return. Th latter is upon probation of ik-yiatt -iiy VMnunuliOT. The report was laid over.

A cannon waa reported and passed re-lalinir to differences between ministers and congregations. It provides for the settlement of such controversies by board composed of the BiBhop and five presbyters, each party to select three presbyters snd the Bishop three more, who will be reduced to five by each party striking off names alternately, in case of the refusal cf either party to appoint, the Bishop shall select therefor. The vestry or congregation shall be represented by lavmen. The msiority of the Board shall, when there is apparently no hope of favorable settlement, recommend to the minister to relinquish his connection with the church, the terms sppearing to them reasonable. In case of refusal, the Bishop ehsll suspend said minister until he retracts his relusai, or in case oi tne reiu-ssl of the vestry or congregation to comply with the recommendation, they are not to be allowed representation in the Diocesan Convention until they retract their refusal.

Where there is no bishop the Presi dent of the Standing Committee of the diocese shall exercise the duties, with the advice of some bishop. The canon is not to be obligatory Jon dioceses with whose canons, laws or charters it Interferes. A message wss received from the House of Bishops nominating Kev. Wm Hobart Hart, of Philadelphia, Missionary BlahoD at Cape Palmas, Africa. It was made the order for to-morrow.

The combination of the two political parties for the next city and county election has not yet been fully consummated, owing to the large number of candidates and the diversity of views of those en gsged in the work of combining, but the work will probably be finally consummst-ed.

At least that ia the prevailing opinion. There la ao diversity of feeling in regard to the nomination of Mr. Medill for Mayor, Mr. llage for City Treasurer, and Mr. Jameson for Judge of the Superior Court.

October 25. A terrible riot is now going on in Lea Angeles. A ficbt havinir occurred ia the Chinese quarter, officer Biiderian attempted to ar rest a Chinaman for shooting anotner, when the Chinese on both sides of a narrow street opened fire. Officer Thompson fell, shot through the breast, snd died. Officer Biiderian was shot thsough the shoulder, but succeeded in getting on horseback snd escaped.

A Mexican boy, named Jusn Jose Mandres, was shot through the leg. The mob attacked the Chinese qusrters.r The attack was resisted by the Chinese. Five hundred srmed men prevented any from escaping, and fifteen Chinamen were hanged by the mob. Fire was applied to the honses, but was extinguished. At 9 p.

M. order was partially restored by the authorities. There will probably be no more bloodshed. Several Chinamen have been arrested and are now in jail. The riot was more disgraceful than was at first reported.

The mob was composed mainly of native Californiaos and the dregs of society. All the Chinese hansred were frightfully beaten aud mal treated before being hanged. One was a child only eight or nine years old. in addition to sixteen hanged, two men and one woman were found shot dead. Another is in jail in a critical condition.

Only one of thmM hanirevi is identified as en- (raged in shooting at the officers. The others are supposed to be innocent, the guilty onen liaviog eecapea oeioro mr mob assaulted their houses.

FA I It. The case of Mrs. Fair in the Supreme Court, was postponed to November II. Singular Story. A very remarkable religious movement is cow in progress in Syria.

It is no less than the conversion of the people by thou sands to Christianity. The movement began in 1808, is a society of Mussulmans, in the vicinity of Damascus, led by one Abd-el-Karin Malar, who used to spend days and nights praying for enlightenment. The movement, according to the account giving in the London 2'dUet, a Koman Catholic paper, began in a miraculous manner. For a long time the members of the society were tortured by a conviction that the religion they professed was erroneous, but each supposed that he alone was tortured. One night about forty were together engaged in devotion, and all fell asleep.

Christ appeared in a vision to each sep arateVy. when they all simultaneously awoke and revealed tot-ach other in their fright the state of their minds and the vision they had sees. The tear that they might be slaughtered if they openly proclaimed thir new born belief that t'hrist ieiiod, and thus be deprived of the privilege of working in Hia cause, and an ad nusnition that a ladder and guide would be provided 'or them, kept them silent. They wf-re divinely led to the monastery of the Terra Santa, near Damascus, and tbey found their leader in the superior. Fray Kmanuel Forner.

Whether the account, of which this is a brief snmmary, has anything more than a fragment of truth, we do not attempt to say. It is certain, however, that the forty devotees were received and baptized, 4uat there were in a very short time two hundred and fifty converts, and that persecutions followed in which many of the leaders were thrown into prison, transported and subjected to numerous barbarities, in spite of which the movement went on. There are now said to be no less than 5,000 neophytes in Damascus alone. Nor is this all. The revival was extended.

Villagers are offering themselves in a body for conversion to Christianity, not only the poorer but Borne of the richest Moslems in the country being of the number. It is said that there ia a serious danger of a collision between the Mohammedan and Christian communities. Christian Massolnten. Interesting accounts reach us in the English papers of the rise of a new religious sect, the Baba in Persia. The most bigoted and fanatical of the followers of Mahomet are the Metawely of Persia.

About thiry years ago some of the most intelligent of those people, although forbidden by their roles to touch a Christian book except with the tongs, procured some copies of the Bible printed in Arabic, were convinced of its truth, and embraced many of its doctrines. They still, however, believe in Mahomet as the prophet of God, and think that they can reconcile Christianity aud la-lam ism. Terrible persecutions have arisen against them from time to time in Persia, and their leader, Beheyah Allah, is at present confined a prison. It is believed that there are 70,000 or 80,000 of his followers in Persia at the present time. Many of them believe him to be the angel spoken of in the first verse of the eighteenth chapter of Revelation.

They are an intelligent, inoffensive people, never resisting when persecuted, bat willing to die for tbeir faith. They hare but shared the treatment which all dissenters from Mohamedaniam must experience even in this enlightened age. The governments professing the Mohamedan faith seem de termined to keep up the customs of the ninth century in the nineteenth. A Swiss corespondent of the Siccle, writing from Vevey on October 2d, in relation to the negotiations in progress between Prince Napoleon, then a resident of that place, and the Ex-Emperor, says "The Imperial party haa its Egeria Bar-onnese de an American, and the widow of an Italian, who was conspicuous in the latest balls given under the Empire. She is entruBUd with the most delicate and difficult missions.

It is a notorious fact that during the war she made several journeys to the Prucsion camp, and that she brought to Bismarck the famous doctor who succeeded in making Bourbaki leave Metz. She is now charged with secret missions in Paris, where M. Pietre does not show himself too openly." Oenerax W'impfpen, who commanded at Sedan, sajs of Bismarck: "This unequalled diplomat expresses himself with great facility and elegance, even in a foreign language. Every word he says seems to be carefully selected, as the best for attaining the object with the least difficulty. I have seen him twice under very critical circumstances, and on both occasions he gave me the impression of being the most astute and dangerous man I ever met.

Though as inliexible aa Moltke himself, he can suit bis manner and tone to the occasion by seeming first conciliatory, and then unyielding, he drives his adversary from hope to dispair, and thus ascertains exactly what is the utmost he can hope to obtain from him." The once celebrated daosense, Fanny EllBler, is now living quietlv at the Hague, occupying most of her time in raising tiowers, of which she ia passionately fond. Hoses are her favorites, and she has raised one particular kind, and which is much prised in Holland. Though she danced before our grandmothers, she has entered, only very recently, on her Gist year. She ia much esteemed in the Dutcli capital for her numerous deeds of charity. a At Pougbkeepsie, if.

The board consisted of Meror.llall, Comptroller Con oily and Tweed. The board never had but one meeting, which did not last fiftren minutes.

A rtcord was there made up of the minut-e and a resolution, which resolution was drawn and read by Mayor Hail, and is said to be in hie hand writing. Instead of audition claims on liabilities there, in plain violation of law, this provided that Auditor Watson should collect together all claims and certiheatea of William Tweed, president of the Bard of 8unr-vtsora, or Joseph 13. Youaar, sod the Secretary of the same Board should be the evidence required to enable the claim to be paid. It is held by the Attorney Ueneral that the Mayor muat have advised his colleagues that this was their duty was to investigate accounts and Bnd what was due. 1 be hoard had consequently no right to take ihe certification proposed by the resolution as conclusive.

Their duty waa ministerial, not jadicial. Tha next step waa the coHsctioa of warrants.

Ingersoll collected t3 ,501 ,584 50 of the warrants, and received from Uarvey out of his collection 17,744.08. Of that aggregate he paid over to Woodward 4U, or a little more than halt of his whole receipts, ttarvey deposited warrants amounting to 72.

He (Wsrvey) paid to Woodward $7:11,871.01, er aver two-thirds of the whole amount of his receipts. Woodward deposited $1,032,715 76, and he received In checks from Ingsrsoll and Oanrey enough of these collections to make a total of $3, 582.054 2D. Of this amount he paid over to Tweed.
