Slowly but surely Russia advancing. She will, if not stopped in her career by the mighty arm of Britain, soon absorb Afghanistan, and Persia in itsturr. With numerous mountain passes leading into Ludia in} their hands, and with ports on the Persian Gulf in their possession, they will be enabled to menace, if not invade Great Britain’s possessions in India and in and sbout the Indian Ocean and the Pacific coasts. The great object and aim of Russia, in all her wariike and aggressive movements in the East,

pow |

for the past century, is to destroy ‘Turkey, and to take possession of Constantivople. Once in possession of the Dardanelles and

Bosphorus, Russia would be mistress of the commerce of the world. If any of our readers will take one of the com- monest maps of Asia and Europe,be will see that Russia has been gradually sur- rounding Tuikey in Europe and Asia, and approaching Turkey's boundaries in all directions—North,Nort beast, East,— and is pow aiming at her southeast boundry. Russia has already made the Black Sea a Russian lake. She aims at controlling all the trade and com- merce of the contiguous countries, and when the right moment arrives, will swoop down en Constantinople. Russia, by her late movements, wishes fo place herself in a position where she can threaten British territory avd prestige io India, and thus hold Britain in check while the contemplated attempt on Constantinople is made at a supposed opportune momevt. From the time of Peter the Great, and the ambitious aad far-seeing Iimperess Catherine, down to the presext time, the possession of Con- stantinople has been the absorbing desire ot the Russian Lear. Russia, if she sneceed in her ambitious scheme, will Lave possession of some of the finest ports of the world, open to navigation at all seasons of the year. Now all the ports she possesses are closed by ice for a period of each year. She, with Con- stantinople in her grasp, would not only have a commandiog position ou the sea coast of the Mediterraveav, but be put iu possession of some of' the fairest and most fertile jands of the earth. Her power as a vation would be enormous.

In the contest which is almost certain to take place, sooner or later, Turkey must become the ally of England, or be destroyed. If Turkey sides with Russia, then, at all costs England must take Con- stautinopie, aud hold it against the world. And further, Britain must defend aud uphold the integrity and independence of Afghanistan. She can uot, must vot, will not, permit Russia to approach vearer her Indian boundaries.

When the Russians conquered the stronghold Khiva, some alarm was felt, us they were on the direct road to India. Merv, the next objective point, and a long distance nearer, next fell before the Russian advance. Ona March 30th, last, Penjdeh also fell, a point still nearer ; and now the Russians are said to aim at Herat, still further ov,and the key to the conquest of Afghanistan, Cabul and Candahar alone will remain of all the Afghan strongholds, and with these in Russian hauds, India will be open to menace, if not actual iuvasion, as a re- cent English author, iv his book just is- | sued, says that ithas lately been dis- covered that there areinthe Suleiman range of mountains, so lovg believed to be impssable, even in the Khyber, | Bolan aud Gomul Passes, every one of! which is passable for camels,

has been; doors (at a respectiul distance) on the

sunny days of the summer seaon. If, therefore, the Lieutenant-Governor has not clearly the right to close the path way, he should not be permitted to do so. But if, on the covtrary, he has the right we must only be the more thanktul to those Lieut.-Govervors who Jeave i open. By the way, another large slice is just now falling from the bank below Government House into the Bay. If the city has an interest in this property it

“H. M. S. Pinafore”—Mannei by Charlottetown Amateurs.

Taine all the circumstances into con- sideration,—the short time occupied in pre- paration, the dingy, unsuitable Market Hall, and the fact that many of the per- formers appeared before the publie for the first time—it will be admitted, by even the most hypercritica), that ‘‘H. M. 8. Pina- fore” was admirably presented and per- formed last evening. Itis not, we think- too much to say that in nearly every par- ticular the opera was rendered as well as by any eompeny wiich has vici'ed the Maritime Provinces. The scenery, pre- pared by Mr. G. W. Milner, was very creditable, and the stage appointments altogether much bsyoud expxtation We were qu to ;repatel for a very feir rendi- tion of the popular and diffies]t opera, but we must frankly admit that we did not dare to hope that our amateur singers could have been trained in a short time to render it in a finis'ei menner. The in monse success of last evening must be a:cepted as another evid nce of the versa'iity of our l eal talent and the skill of Mr.. Earle a8 a musical director. ‘‘Josephine,’ though at first a little nervous and asiraice?, dis- played fine powers of voice and memory. She is, tndoubtedly, possessed «f rare talents, cepable of s‘ll greater euliur-, and her moeri's are, every time she a; p avs, rair- ing her in the estimation of her friends end the public. ‘‘Hebe” was a first cousin of whom any lord might be proud,and *‘Liitle Buttercup” wae pretty and self-possessed, Sir Joseph Porter, K.C.B., was not unnaturally a little nervous, but he presented a fine appearance and took his part to the life. Captain Corcoran, looked every inch a sai'or, and sang well, though he was a little dubicus about the bigh notes; and Ralph Rackstraw, Dick Deadeye, and the Boat- awaip, were capital impersonations, end

sang their parts exceedingly well. Dick was uot, however, as ugly as some we have seen in his character,

and occasionally forgot to be three-cornered. The sisters, cousins avd avn's were, as is often the case in real life, too numerous to particularize; but fer number, beanty and sweet voices, they surpassed any we have seen on board ‘‘H. M. S. Pinafore,’ and the First Lord must have felé proud of his relations

The Oddfellows have certainly done themselves much credit for hav- ing made sven elab: r.te pre- parations for the close of their Natal Day celebration ; and we trust that their reward will bea second bumper house this evening. Surely we shall not much longer have to deplore the great want of a Music Hall for a town in which there is so much musical talent and so high an appreciation ef good

music. It is too bad that we have not public-epirited men enough in our midst to push anything to completion that may be

lteers fell here, pierced by r-bel ballr,

i | The war whoops of the |now and then as they r 1A desperate lire was ke; t up for ever an | hour, and then, as if they had run short of atnmmunition, only cccasional builete came from Riel’s mex. After a short cessation, however, the enemy recommenced firing at l o'clock. The praizie was on fire. This, however, was soon extinguished by the rain. ‘The half breeds fought in the Indian style and the large nomber of casualties show that they are vot a foe to be despised. One party of rebels were dislodged from the ravine at 1 o'clock, but the firing still continued very hot. At this moment the general received

A BULLET THROUGH HIS HAT,

and called to them, ‘stand up men; had I been bending down 1 would have had my brains knocked out.’ At 4 p. m. the Royal Grenadiers arrived from the east side in good form and at ouce opened fire upon one of the ravines, ‘There were three ravines in a string heavily wooded and full of big boulders, and the rebels skipped irom one to the other. ‘The rain stopped at 1.30 o’clock, but there was a mist and this with the clouds of smoke rendered it next to impossible for the troops to see what they were firing at. Gabriel Dumas commanded the rebels and did _ it with wonderful skill. At 1,40 the rebels had been dislodged from two of the ravines but they still held out in the centre one. ‘A’ battery could not get their shells in here, but the Grenadiers and the 90th potred in a hot fire which did not do much execution, however, owing to the dense bush. A body of rebels now appeared in the rear of the troops and fears were en- tertaiued that we should be caught ina trap. Gen. Middleton had provided for this, however, and Boulton’s scouts with a nine-pounder soon dispersed them, though they hovered in bands on our flanks and sent in an occasioval volley which fell short. It was evident at this juncture that if the rebels had been all well armed or had had artillery,

THE DAY WOULD HAVE GONE HARD WITH US.

Things remained unchanged up to five o'clock, when there could not have been many men in the rifle pits in the ravine, at which time the general had the troops drawn up preparatory to making a charge and capturing the men in the pits, which was expected to close the engagement, 48 he had ordered the teams to get ready to move half a mile nearer the river, in the open, to camp for the night.
