The a Government has arrived at had arisen in 'un Africa, on account @ the race for territory in which the " powers:have been for & number of years engaged. Recently the claims of were settled by the firm attitude taken by England in regard to the English auttlements on the Zambesi River, over P y \ that yielding only to superior force of « ' @reat power she would not press her claim .$3-the Territory, - The chief difficulty then lay with Ger- many. The latter power has assumed sovereignty over a large tract of country, and disputes have been numerous as to the te Germany the island of Heligoland in the North Sea. The cession of Heligoland is regarded variously by the press of London, chiefly in wecordance with the side they take in poli- ties. The Chronicle and the News regard @ as & humiliation to England of the most character. It is said to be Lord Nalisbary"s Sedan, which is so much more u s because the public announce- ment of it took place on the 18th ult., the ampiversary of the battle of Waterloo. (hey say that as England is in such a mood for making concessions, there is no mason now why Germany's ally, Italy, thould not demand the cession of Malta, tad Spain of Gibraltar. Oa the other wand the Conservative press, as the Times, Standard and other journals, say that @mgkind has gained by the agreement more than the value Heligoland. aultiplied man; times over, and it certain- 'y seems that the undisputed protectorate @ Zanzibar alone, woulki be worth mach sorethan the coneessiou which England tas made. Heligoland is a small island, wt having an area of more than one-fifth £ wequare mile. It consists of « platexd m the summit of a rock 200 feet above deo-nea level, and has on it a small village sith about 2000 inhabitants, who are nostly N The of ae Germans very naturally look to their fatherland with affectionate regard. Th, garrison is, of course, English, but if the Aemever, it was not thought necessary to mmult them in bargaining them away, "m@ when the other day Lord Salisbury zag saked in the House of Commons whe- vould be no serious objection ou the part € the people to the transfer." __. The chief occupation of the people is, 'hing, £5,000 worth of. fish being an:fa- My taken. The island is regarded 42) other ome value in war time, and during the ars with Fratice since its powession by Sngland, it was used as a station at which 'deyeas having' been a country dedicated to the Goddess Earthe, and from this reli- gious character it derives itd name, which ai in English, Holy Land, It be longed to Holland, but was taken by the English in 1807, and waa ceded formally in 1514. Owing to its proximity to Ger many, being only 35 miles from the mouth of the Elbe, its possession by England has always been @ source of annoyance to Germany, which country has looked upom it aa a threat, that an English fortress grould be in each close proximity to Ger man territory ; in fact almost insight. It flattera the national vanity of the Ger- mans therefore, that it should be thus peaceably ceded. Moreover, the Germans regard Heligoland as being of great strate press | Sic importance to them, as it will be mpeh easier, with ion of the island, to guard against the possibility of a hostile force blockading the mouths of the Weser and Elbe rivers, and the water approaches 'to Hamburg and Bremen, They balance the acquisition with even greater conces- sions given in Africa, and the agreement has consequently passed the Bandesrath unantmously. Ht is stated that the offer 'y : 1 of ceasion was made by Lord Salisbury. 4 The German press, which may be supposed to reflect the general sentiment of the country, are delighted with the arrange- ment, and declare that the negotiations were a battle in which both sides are vic- fegat-| fora and neither side is vanquished. M. Stanley is. loud in his praise pursued. He considers the ba-gain made to be most advantageous to England. The Daily Chronic'e is not convinced by his extatic admiration, nomeres which it terms fulsome adulation. It is but @ very short time since Mr. Stanley arraigned the Government very severely for its apathy in leaving East Africa to the Germans, and his present course in praising their newly developed general course of his desires; but the Chronicle remarks " that itis not a suffi. cient vindication of Lord Salisbury that he has acquired possession af two moun- tains which Stanley has seen." 'We may well suppose, however, that Stanley knows more of the two than the editor of the Chronicle, and as he has scen more of them, that he knows better theirvalue, We believe that the €iovern- ment has acted wisely in making the ex- be introduction of British civilization into other portions of the dark continent, the native population has been rendered more prosperous and have been protected from the rapacity of slave dealers. There is every reason to expect that similar results will follow from its firm establishment on also be thrown open to the operations of Christian missionaries who will no doubt make.nse of the golden opportunity thus afforded them to preach the gospel to the new populations to which this bargain will give them access. By the internation- al agreement complete freedom of opera- con. | #08 is to be given to missionaries.

Scientists who have been studying the phe- nomena of the many and great floods that have occurred within a recent period have noted, says the Montreal Star, the some- what paradoxical fact that all the rivers and streams on this continent are visibly smaller now than they were twenty-five years ago and that the level of the great lakes is steadily falling year by year. All the lake harbors are stated to be shallower than they were a decade ago. shallower despite the fact it has been dredged out to the permanent bottom rock: New York harbor is in the same condition: alithe dredging that can be done having failed to deepen it. The Hudson River is eaid to be slowly running dry. The Des Moines River, ia lowa, is reported the same. This failure of water supply is not Contined to America. The same decrease has been noted in Europe and Asia. Var. ious causes are assigned for it, all of which are beyond human control, while the facts themselves are of peculiar, if no* Ja nection, against the return of Dr T. Gil- mour for bajo York.
