The Conservative papers endeavor to throw the blame upon the Vieeroy of India and his Council, and charge thema with misleading the British Government ; but it has been stated that this large deficit in the financial budget 0 the Afghan War was known to Disracii and his Cabinet so long ago as the month off November last.

Atlength Mis. Knox Rleft him and went to live with a colored froan named Danicl Douglase, who lives on githe second con. of Holland, lot 65 or 65, Esome nine or ten miles from Chatsworth. WAs Knox was possesed of seme little proâ€" perty, Douglass and Mrs. Knox would sometimes get him to go and visit them, and he would remain with them until some ‘ quarrel arose, when he wonld leave them and return to Chatsworth, where he abode at his danghter‘s, Mrs. Bain‘s, when living in tho villoge. In December last he was staying with his danghter, when Mis. Knox went to the house to see him, and threatâ€" ened that if the old man ever went to Douglas‘s again he would not leave it alive. Some time after, however, a broâ€" ther of «Mrs. Kuox‘s ~eallied at M . Bain‘s, saying that "Dan and Hapoah" wanted to see him, and that if he would go to them Hannah would be better to them than ever she bad beer before. _ Mrs. Bain fearing some ill would befallhim if he went because of the threats which had been made, tried to prevent him from going, but without avail, and on Thursday last word was brought to her that he was dead. Not lhaving heard of any illness on his part, and bearing in imind the threats before reâ€" ferred to,she determined to have an inquest held, and telegraphed her desire to Mr. Gordon on Thnrsday evening, but as he was unaware of the circumstances of the case, he referred her to the County Attorâ€" ey for advige and direction, and that ofâ€" inl aftor henring her story. came to the consclusion that sufficient euspicions existâ€" d 10 warrant the holding of am inquest a« wished by Mrs. Bain. Accordingly Enox‘s dy was disinterred, and the inquest was eld on Monday as already stated. The medical testimony was that death resulted rom strangulation, and thmt Kuox himself ould not have doue the deed; and the jury returned an open verdiet to that cffect. Seeing, Lowever, that Donglas and Mre. nox and a number of children besides the deceased were the only inzantes of Douglas house on the night of Knox‘s death, a son the deceased, ucting, it is suid, on the wice of the County, has had these two parties arresied for guilty complicity in the id man‘s denth, and they nre now inmates f the gaol here on that charge. There is a general feeling in the locality immediateâ€" ly concerned thkt the old man EKnox has tl".w done to death in the mauner revealed by the post mortem examination, as there were no indications to recount for desth from another cause.

Un Monday last, in compliance with a equest faom the County Crown Aiterney, an inquest was held at Chatsworth by Thoâ€" mas Gordon, Esq., Coronea for the County of Grey, on the body of Thomas Knox, an old resident of the village, who bad reachâ€" the age of about 87 years.
