THE SITUATION.
(From the Daily Patriot. April 8.)
Lonpon, April 13.
A Vienna correspondent asserts that Rus- sia has sent large quantities of torpedoes to the mouth of the Danube, in order that she may be prepared to block the stream again,
The Pera correspondent of the Daily Telegraph sends several important reports of which the following is the substance :
‘* The Russians have been discovered building roads in the direction of Bayadere, they have also been concentrating large forces of horses, foot and artillery in the adjacent villages. He also reports that the Russians have summoned the Turks to eva cuate Shumla and Varna immediately.’
The thirty-fifth annual race between Oxford and Cambridge took place this morn- ing on the Thames over the usual course from Putney to Multake, a distance of four miles. The result was an easy vic- tory for Oxford. This makes, in thirty-five contests eighteen victories for Oxford, six- teen for Cambridge, and one, that of last year, a dead heat.
The “Northern Light.”
Iv is said that the Northern Light is to be abandoned by the Government. The pros- pective profits of certain master Grit ship carpenters will not—if the report prove cor- rect—be realized. This is matter for re- gret. Apropos of the Northern Light the Moncton Times contains the fi lowing i—
‘* Usually, announcements in reference to changes in the administrative policy of the Dominion Government have been made by Do- minion Ministers in the Dominion Parliament. But under Grit rule allthisis changed. Yester- day a very important announcement of the in- tentions of the Dominion Government was made in the New Brunswick Assembly in ad vance of any intimation in the Deminion Par- liament. With authority, no doubt, Mr. E. J. Smith, brother of the Minister of Marine, announced in the Assembly that the steamer ‘** Northern Light” having proved a failure as winter boat, would be withdrawn from that service. He further announced that the Do- minion Government would have “some row. bvats built at Cape ‘Lormentme and put on be- tween the Capes (there are ice boats plying there now), and he had ‘‘ no doubt” the Do- minion Government would help. to build a railway to connect with these row boats.——This is very important news;and its value is en- hanced by the fact that itis published in ad- vance of official announcement in the House of Commons.—1t was made known in connece- tion with the passages of a Bill for the con- struction of what is called the Cape Tormen- tine Railway, in which, for the first time the Smithsare taking an interest, General Elec- tions being now near at hand.”

Communication With P. BE. Island.
In the Commons, on the Ist inst. —
Mr. Pope (Queen’s) asked whether it was the intention of the Government to take any step this season towards the construction of a railway from the Intercolonial railway near Aulae to Cape Tormentine in New Brunswick, and from Cape Traverse to the main line of railroad in Prince Edward Island, for the pur- pose of plaeing the Island in continuous com- munication in winter with the Intercolonial railway system of the Dominion, as required by the terms under which the Province of Prince Edward consented to become a part of the Dominion of Canada.
Mr. Mackenzie—I must ask the hon. gentle. man to expunge the latter part of the para- graph, because one can scarcely admit any argument in a question. In reply, | may say that as a matter of faet, after all that has been said or written about the success or non-sue cess of the steamer making communication, that the whole subject is under the considera- tion of the Government, witha view to the adoption of the best means possible under the circumstances to effect the communication. Any more I can hardly say at present.
It would seem that the Premier of Canada did not feei justitied in making in Parliament the announcement which Mr, E. J. Smith made, on behalf of the Assembly of New Brunswick. He did not an nounce that the ‘‘Northern Light” had been abandoned as a failure. Nor did he intimate
that the Dominion Government would aid the |
construction of a railway to Cape Tormentine. He said nothing aboutthe intention ofthe Goy- ernment to build row beats at Cape Tormen- tine, orof it being the policy of the Govern- ment to substitute row boats for the ‘Northern Light.” to enquire how it happens that information which the
.|laying before Parhament,is freely published
through the Legislature of New Brunswick ?— Moncton Time:

A neat story came outin a recent con
versation of a well-known member of the !
Massachusetts bar. he was very expert at kicking football, and
one night he dreamed he was again in the |
fresh vigor of youth, engaged in his favorite sport. Suddenly waking from the dream,
he found the bed-clothes in the middle of |
the floor, and his wife upon them, weeping as if her heart would break, and crying, “Q, that I should come to this! oh, how could you ! how could you?” It gradually dawned upon the eminent legal gentleman that he had unconsciously used his wife for ; football, but it required some of the most
powerful pleadings to win his case and ob- tain a verdict of acquittal from her,
} pelled, from his extraor:

The Largest Man in England.
The Newcastle-on-Tyne correspondent of the Lancet sends some strange particulars as to Mr. William Campbell, landlord of the “Duke of Wellington,” in his town. Campbell boasts of being the largest subject in Her Majesty’s realm, standing six feet four inches in height, and weighing over fifty-two stone. He meas- ures around the shoulders ninety-six inches; round the waist eighty-five inches, and round the calf of the leg thirty-five inches. He was born in Glasgow in 1856, and has not quite at- tained his twenty-second year; was one of a family of seven children, none of whom beside himself are of more than ordinary proportions. His father was of average weight, although he stood six feet two inches; his mother was rather under the average height and weight of woman. Campbell stated that from his birth he was remarkably stout, and that at nine months oki he weighed four stones, at ten years of age he weighed eightcen stones, and he has gone on increasing since then, and it is with diiticulty he keeps at his present weight. He was brought up as a naar, but Was com- Inary size, to give up his occupation. ‘ |

Disraeli’s Harly Ambition.
in a recent biography of Lord Melbourne a story is told of a dinner at Mrs. Norton’s where Disraeli, then the young author of ‘*Vivian Grey,” met the great Minister. The young man had just been defeated in an attempt té get into Parliament. Mel- bourne’s frank and open manner led to a ‘long conversation, in which Mr. Disraeli | mentioned the circumstances of his late dis- comfiture, dwelling on each particular with the emphasis which every young man of ambition since Parliament was invented is sure to lay upon the broken promises and scandalous behaviour of his victorious foes, The Minister was attracted more and more as he listened to the uncommonplace lan- guage and spirit of the youthful politician, and thought to himself he would be well worth saving. Abruptly, but with a certain tone of kindness which took away any air of assumption, he said ‘‘Well, now, tell me
—what do you want to be?” The quiet gravity ef the reply took him aback. ‘I want to be Prime
Minister.” Melbourne gave a long sigh, and then said very seriously : *‘No chance of that in our time. It is all arranged and settled. Nobody but Lord Grey could, perhaps, have carried the Reform Bill; but he is an old man, and when he gives up he will certainly be succeeded by one who has every requisite for the pesition, in the prime of life and fame, of old blood, high rank, great fortune and — great ability. Once in power, there is noth- ing to prevent him holding office as long as Sir Robert Walpole. Nobody can compete with Stanley. There is noth- ing like him. If you are going into politics and mean to stick to it, I dare say you will do very well, for you have ability and enterprise, and if you are careful how you steer, no doubt you will get into some post at last. But you must put all these foolish notions out of your head ; they won't do atall. Stanley will be the next Prime Minister, you will see.” But the old Min- ister does not see into the future. +<]emP-

THe Miramichi Advance publishes the following, as showing how the fishermen of New Brunswick and Nova Scotia wert, re- spectively, taxed under Mr. Mitchell and Mr. Smith, as Ministers of Marine and Fisheries :—
Unde Mr. Mitchell.
1872 1873 1874. Nova Seotia, $166 $159 $123 | New Brunswiek, 942 647 978 Under Mr. Smith. 1875 1876 1877. Nova Scotia, S551 3442 $1,520 New Brunswick, 830 2,030 1,892
it appears froin this statement that while under Mr. Mitchell, the fishermen of New Brunswick paid in three years $2,567, they paid in three years under Mr. Sruth $4,149. Have they received any corresponding ad- vantage under Mr. Smith’s regime for the largely increased taxes? We don’t suppose that even the most ardent admirer of the Mackenzie Government will pretend that they have. On the contrary, they have | been constantly harrassed and their interests disturbed, to the great injury of their oceu- | pation. i

Tur Ottawa correspondent of a Western organ announces that at the close of the session M. Laflamme is to be elevated to the Supreme Court. He is now awaiting its decision in a case involving not only his seat, but his personal disqualification, for bribery and corrupt practices. M. Le- 'tlamme will do no credit to the Supreme Court. Through all our fierce party strife the Bench of Canada has up to the present been kept free from unworthy men. It is ,an honor to the country ; the noblest, as it is the most sacred, of our institutions. But if M. Leflamme, why not also his colleague Nuntington ? Let the Premier spare us this disgrace. M. Laflamme’s services to |the Party may have been valuable ; but in _the appointment of the judges of the land higher considerations than those of Party should prevail.—Toronto Mail.
