Advices from Allahabad, Hindostan, say Tirput despatches state that Russians have occupied Aktepe, and are making a road to Herat through Penjdeh.
A despatch in cypher was sent to Gen. Komaroff yesterday.
The pay of sailors in the Russian navy has been raised to the war rate.
New York, April 29.
Kernan’s news agency has {the following from London:—‘‘It is believed that the commencement of open hostilities between England and Russia is only a matter of a few days. Germany, France ard Austria are endeavoring to forma nentral league. [taly and Turkey have been invited, but have not yet replied.”
Lonpon, April 29.
The Russian advance south of Penjdeh, and the occupation of Maruchak, is re- garded in Parliamentary circles as dispell- ing the last hopes of peace, and is a pre- eursor of an attack on Herat.
Sr. Pererssure, April 29.

for all
} ; 4 . . me obl pie d to go with the misguided men that
he has gathered around him. He is evi- dently greatly disappointed that the Indians have not rallied en masse to his standard, the great majority of them having remained loyal to the Government, and will so remain if they are fairly treated.
It is greatly to be regretted that this movement that has been going forward for months--and the authorities must have known was in progress—was not promptly checked long ago. Action was certainly taken, but it was very tardy. That the half-breeds have grievances,few will deny, and that the Government are disposed to treat them justly is equally evident. But to allow such a man as Riel has proved himself to be, for months to be inciting sedition and swearing men by secret oath to murder, is, I claim, a laxness hard to excuse. Especially does this appear when you consider the thousands of Indians to whom those half-breeds are related, and to whom they have direct access, understand- ing their languages, familiar with their cuatoms and knowing well their excitable nature. And the wonder here with us is, not that a few of these wero induced to plunder some settlers houses, kill and eat some of their cattle, but pinched with hunger and poorly clad, their old means of
subsistence gone, that they have not done far worse than they have. Tbe patience and endurance of some
of these Indians have seldom been equaled, and rarely if ever excelled. Rather than rob or steal from a white man, some of these last winter were known to collect grain that had not been masticated from the excrement of the horses kept at an Indian agency, and take this grain and boil it to relieve the pangs of hunger, waiting for the tardy arrival of rations doled ovt to them. These fertile prairies and this grand climate are intended for something more than a mere Indian hunting ground, or Hudson’s Bay preserve, Christianity and civilization will yet occupy these plains ; but the Indiansare here, what shall we do with them! To shoot them or starve them are both unchristian and expensive. Ex perience has taught that it costs more to shoot an Indian than to feed him ; besides, the Indian will object to being shot, though he has endured a great deal of starving. The problem has in a small degree been solved by McDougall, at Mor- ley, for I doubt that in this Dominion there are a more loyal, Christian people than those Stonies that are living near Calgary, under MeDougal!’s care. But I did not take up my pen to write upon the Indian question. Let me call your attention to the fact that in this Province there is no trouble either with Indians or half breeds. [ know some sen- sational stories have been in circulation here, and doubtless have reached you, that the Indians at Turtle Mountain on both sides of the line were rising, and added to this there have been some rumors of a Fenian invasion. Investigation has proved that the first was altogether untrue, and the second (to use a Western phrase) don’t scare worth a cent. And were it not for the declared wish of one of your M.P.P’s to have a shot or two at us, we would feel ourselves in perfect safety. Do please, Mr. Editor, save us from being invaded just now by your friend from West River, for I have read that ‘‘any poltroon can pull a trigger,” but as it requires a firm hand and steady eye to manage the sights, perhaps we are safe as yet. Ere this reaches you by the slow rocess of the postal service, I hope the telegraph will have informed you that the heart of the rebellion is broken, and the blood of the murdered Scott, that for fifteen years has cried for justice, has been heard. «The mills of God grind slowly, but they grind exceeding sure.”

“An Bye to Future Profits.”
Sin,—I must say that the enterprise of the people of the present day beats that of my time entirely, for I learn that a young law student last night delivered an oration on the Law of Partnership, before Miller’s Commercial College. The young lecturer no doubt did not charge a fee for his legal advice, but J imagine the crop-of law suits that will spring up in fature after the college students apply the legal prin- ciples laid down last night by the lecturer, will amply repay him for his tronble. The Barristers who will likely participate in this crop should encourage this lecturing business.
Yours &c., An Ear.y SETTLER, -- - City Architecture.
Siz,—As one of the disgusted, | was much pleased with your remarks anent the order of the City Council to Messrs. Phillips and Chappelle for plans of the new City Building. In justice to Mr. Sterling and to Mr. Harris, both profes- sional aychitects, as well to Messrs. Lowe Brothers and other master carpenters who can make designs just as well as Messrs. Phillips and Chappelle, _ the plans should be open to competition. There can be no question that a man who has made a study of designing and architecture ought to be employed by the city. We have too much jerry work, and many parts of our town have been made hideous by the erection of ugly buildings. The City Council, at least, should show
kinds of house furnishing goods, upho tering, window farnitare, picture frames, for your Done promptly and well.

architect and a carpenter in the Cameron Block and the Brown Block. Lu the latter
on the whole, just as good, and yet any man with an eye in bis head can see that the former is far the best building. The qnestion of economy as well as cf good taste should certainly be studied by our City Council, and [ trust with you that they will reconsider the matter, and get a competent architect to draw the plavs and oversee the building operations.
