THE SITUATION.
the Daily Patriot. Sr. Prrerssure, April 26.
It is asserted that some Russian En- gineers who were recently in Rome, have chartered two American steamers. These steamers are now inthe Levant, and will immediately proceed to Suez and the Per- sian Gulf. While on this journey they will be under the American colors. ,
A number of German bankers met in Berlin for the purpose of considering the practicability of floating a new Russian loan. The result of these deliberations was that they unanimously refused to engage in the work.
Fr wi
BELGRADE, April 26.
In consequence of the pressure which the
tussians have brought to bear on the Porte, it has sent forth a premptory order that Batoum be immediately vacated.
The hatred of the peasantry in the neigh- borhood of Batoum and Trebizond against the Russians is intense and the are now arming themselves against them.
Paris, April 26,
A leading article in La France states that it is with the most profound regret that it has important private information that a war between Russia and England is abso- lutely inevitable.
San Srerano, April 26.
It is believed that the simultaneous with- drawal of the Russian troops and the British fleet from Constantinople has at last been arranged.
New Yor, April 26.
The Russian Consul in this city says that he has received no information of, and knows nothing of the purchase by the Rus- sian Government of American vessels for the purpose of engaging in privateering in case of war with England.
It is stated by gentlemen who are well acquainted with the latest news ia shipping circles, that some Russian agents have lately been in this city, and have waited upon the owners of a Havana line of steamers with regard to the purchase of their vessels. They have also been negotiating for the purchase of a Savannah Line.

The Natal Day Celebration.
THE CONCERT LAST NIGHT-——TASTEFUL DE- CORATION OF ~AN UNSIGHTLY ROOM—-A CAPITAL PROGRAMME WELL RENDERED.
Tue Oddfellows’ variety entertainment in Market Hall attracted a large audience. The most was made of the Hall. Its dingy walls were decorated and made to look—not hideous ; and the platform or stand was quite artistic with flagsand banners and painted scenes and emblems of the Order which claims the ‘‘Fatherhood of God and the Bretherhood of Man. The opening ad- dress by W. W. Stumbles, jr., had evident- ly been carefully composed, and it was well delivered. The local hits it contained were very good. We are pleased to note a marked improvement in the performance of the Charlottetown Orchestral Club. One of the renditions seemed to be as_ nearly perfect as possible. We trust the Club will not relax its efforts to improve and to please the people of the city with really good music. -Some curiosity was felt respecting the ‘‘Champion of Summerside.” The piece he selected was in good broad Scotch. There was a nasal element in his tones —especially in the high notes — which was irresistible. Mr. Muncey’s seri-comic song was well sung; and Mr. 8, Bremner—by special request—surprised and pleased the audience with his character song— though one poor woman fainted under it. Dr. Shreve made a mistake in selecting ‘‘ The Raven” for recitation in such a room and to such an audience. He wisely withdrew without finishing the piece. We always listen with great pleasure to Mr. Hermans ; and we never listened to him with greater pleasure than last evening. Mr. Hermans did well to sing the beautiful song he sung in his and its native German. The trans- lation is stiff; and Mr. Hermans gave ex- pression to the spirit of the piece as he could not have done in English. The irrepressible D——d B-——k Store was the medium of capital hits and the source oi much fun—as usual. Mr. Welsh’s comic song was very shocking to some young ladies—but the large majority of the audi- ence laughed immoderately. Mr. Hill's recitation was excellent, and called forth a long and loud applause. On the whole, the entertainment was very entertaining ; and at its close the audience passed through the cloud of dust which met them with great equanimity. We congratulate the Odd- fellows of Prince Edward Island on the suc- cess of their fifty-ninth anniversary cele- bration.
Arrangements for opening the Paris Ex- hibitiono on Ist prox. have been complet2d* None of the German Princes are mentioned among the Royal personages—at the head of whom is the Prince of Wales—who will be preseut on the first day and take part in the grand procession through the buildings and grounds in the opening ceremonies. Evidence, however, of the desire not to re- open old sores is found in the fact that the
mperor William having forbidden any pictures recalling the war of 1870 to be ex- hibited in the German fine art section, the French Government have resolved to ex clude all French pictures commemorating
the stirring events of that year.

England and Russia.
_The report that the negotiations for the
simultaneous withdrawal of the British fleet and Russian army from the vicinity of Con- stantinople have faled is contradicted, and it is again asserted that everything is pro- gressing favorably. It is said that the Rus- sian army is to retire to Adrianople and the British fleet to Besika Bay. This arrange- ment, if the Turks are to be trusted, is a favorable one for England, and on the part of Russia an important concession. Besika Bay is much nearer to Constantinople for a fleet than Adrianople is for an army. Of course there is to be considered the danger of the Turkish Government seeking to close the Dardanelles against England, and again permitting the Russian forces td approach their capital. But this danger is to a large extent imaginary. The Turkish Govern- ment has ne motive for such a course, and if any of its individual members desired to favor Russia for personal reasons they would find themselves opposed by the whole pub- lic opinion of the country. The Turkish people and the Turkish army are, to a man, opposed to Russia and favorable to Eng- land, and it is worthy of note that all the time the British fleet has been lying in the Bosphorus the Turkish fishermen have kept a strict watch lest it should be harmed by Russian torpedoes. It is highly probable, therefore, that the British fleet might with- draw to Besika Bay without any danger of finding the way to the Turkish capital closed against 1t. The withdrawal of the Russians to Adrianople would relieve the pressure on the Turkish Government and leave it free to act. It would place Russia in a less imposing position in the eyes of Europe than she now occupies and remove one of the things from the list of accom- plished facts with which the Conference would have to deal. It is therefore very desirable in every way that this arrange- ment for a mutual withdrawal should be brought about.—St. John Telegraph.

Political Notes.
The Toronto ‘‘ Telegram” pretty accu-
rately estimates the situation in regard to
the votes of the Commons and Senate on the Quebec matter, when it says :-—
“* After all, it is a question if there could have been a stronger condemnation of the Lieut. Governor’s course than Mr. Blake's refusal to uphold it in the House. As Sir John Macdonald very truly said, a great many things may be legal under our system of Government, while at the same time they may be contrary to the spirit and in- tention of the constitution.”
We still await a satisfactory explanation of the unpleasant features in the public ac- counts which show that while for the year ending 30th June, 1873, the col- lection of a customs revenue of $13,053,000 cost $565,765 ; the collection of $14,410,000 in 1873-4, cost $658,000; of $15,387,000 in 1874-6, $682,000 ; and of $12,841,000 in 1875-6, $721,000. It cost $4.85 to collect $100 of customs under the regime of Sir John; it takes $5.61 under that of the economical Alexander.
Mr. Blake’s position was a delicate one before the vote was taken. It is a painful position now. He was compelled to absent himself from a vote in which the Premier was greatly involved, and he has had to submit to the by no means gentle criticisms which his conduct has called forth. Mr. Blake’s opinion of the morals of the Reform Party must be an interesting one. Macau- lay, at the close of his life, said he was glad to be out of public life, since his ab- sence prevented’ him from taking part against his old liberal friends who were going wrong. Mr. Blake must be glad to have got rid of a Cabinetoffice which would have compelled him to cast a dishonest vote for an outrage on puplic liberty ; or to retire and ruin the Government of which he wasa member. His future] course will be looked for with much interest.—Hz. Herald.
Another great Reformer used to hold language not unlike what is now heard from the lips ef Conservative members. Mr. George Brown, no doubt, feels that on the point of protection his consistency is involved. But if the files of his paper are turned over, a paragraph will be found evi- dently from his own master hand ;—-
‘*FARMERS,—READ THIS! ‘* The Reformers succeeded in defeating a most destructive clause which the Ministry had introduced into their Customs’ Bill ;—no less than a proposal to let American wheat come into Canada, FREE OF DUTY! under bond, be ground here, and sent home to Eng- land! At that time Canadian flour went into the English Market free, or almost so, while American flour paid a duty of between two and three dollars per barrel! It is true they pretended to say that it would be sent to Eng- land as American flour, and pay the — duty ; but this was all fudge. Who prove whether it was Canadian wheat or American wheat after it was once ground ? ‘The whole thing was a got up plan to serve the purposes of the Tory millers.
‘* Who can fail to see that the immedjate ef- fect had this scandalous attempt to defraud the farmers at the expense of the millers been successful, would have been the employment of all the capital (mow engaged) here in grind- ing American wheat, which brings 2s. per bar- rel more than Canadian, and that the Cana- dian market being without buyers, the price wonld have fallen fearfully low.
‘* Farmers you have to thank the Reformers for being saved from this! The nt Min- istry would have passed it if they could.”
Why does Mr. Brown to-day go back on
the days of his yigorous youth }—Maii,
