The Russian Cruisers,
The following is a translation of the pro- clamation issued by the Mescow Cruiser Comimittee, and which is now being dis- persed, says the London Globe, all over Russia. The document has been revised by the Czarovitch himself, and has, therefore, the character of a Russian State paper :— APPEAL FOR SUBSCRIPTION IN AID OF
ACQUISITION OF SHIPS FOR THE VOLUNTEER FLEET.
THE
The Lord has sent Russia another trial. An implacable foe threatens us with war, fellow countrymen! Are we to bear pa- tiently the wresting from us of the fruits of victory |! Are we again to have to liberate our brothers! Onur foe is strong on the sea. The number and might of his marine resources greatly exceed our own. But there is a way of striking him a blow on his sea path which he may sensibly feel. Who does not know that the interests of our foe lie in his profit and gains? He owns a mighty marine fleet. Thirty thousand ves- sels plough the seas for him. Here, then, is the way to strike him a blow. At that moment when the enemy closes our seas, and, as in the Crimean war time, burns and robs our undefended villages along the coast at that moinent let us carry the misery of war into the midst of his marine. For this purpose.we must have swift and powerful vessels that may present themselves sud- denly and with terror upon the sea paths of our foe. The last war éovered with glory our seamen, fighting with fragile vessels against the terrible ironclads, and issuing victorious from such an unequal combat. Give them regular sea ships, send them to the ocean to cruise among the enemy’s mer- chant fleet, and our enemy will be roiled up in his self-presumption. Children of the Russian soil! ye have risen as one man each time that danger has threatened our holy nrother, Russia. Answer to her call this time with united will and with every means create a fleet that will again show to the world the worth of the Russian people when they stand on guard for the honor of their country. But there is no time to be lost. We must act quickly. Dost thou want peace,- prepare for war.

A Great Institution.
The Bank of Montreal leid its annual meeting in Montreal on Monday last. The report made on the occasion by the direct- ors was, under the circumstances, an ex- tremely favorable one. It shewed that the Bank’s profits for the year ended April 30th, 1878, after deducting charges of manage- ment and making fuil provision for all bad and doubtful debts, were no less than $1,430,903. It began the year with a bal- ance of Profit and Loss of $199,081. It closed the year with a balance of-$190,177, after paying meanwhile in dividends $1,439,- 808—the rate being 12 per cent. per an- num.
Necessarily the bank did less business last year- The decrease in loans was well on to $3,000,000 ; yet the net profits were $242,000 in excess of those of the previous year.
The General Manager, however, cau- tioned shareholders against cherishing high expectations in the immediate future. Money was plentiful. There was competi- tion with both British and American capi- tal, and he could promise a continuance of 12 per cent. dividends.
Monied institutions, large as well as lit- tle, cannot but feel the severe pressure of the times. But the manner in which this great institution is weathering the storm of commercial disaster, which meets it at a hundred points, is gratifying to witness. neon —irpertting
Diptheria is shewing its fearful malignity in some families in Halifax. One of the most distressmmg cases we have heard of is that of Mr. John Downey, in Wellington Street. Two children died a week or so ago, Lily Rozel, aged 7 years and 11 months, on the 24th ult., and on the 29th, Florence, aged 3 years; and on Monday last, June 3rd, two more—Bessie May, aged 12 years, and Mary Ann, aged 10 years—were taken away almost at the same time. Two others are lying in a very pre- carious state. The hearts of the parents have thus been fearfully taxed.—Christian Messenger.

Medical research is not without diflicul- ties and danger of its own, as the body- snatching case at Cincinnati snows. The Hon. Jno. Harrison was buried in the family vault on one day and discovered in the dissecting rooms of Ohio Medical Col- lege by the son on the next. The incident must have been a tolerably startling one to son, who believed his father’s body to be

Five of the ringleaders in the recent out- break at Constantinople have been executed —their trial revealing the fact that the murder of the Sultan, as well as the rein- statement of Murad, was contemplated.
While one despatch from Constantinople declares in consequence ef the representa- tions of Mr. Layard,the order banishing the editor of the ‘‘ Levant Herald” has been revoked, another states that the suppression of the paper continues, and that the editor has been forced to quit the city.
A plot is believed to exist in Germany to assassinate the Imperial family. ‘Thirty- seven persons have been arrested for speak- ing disrespectfully of the Emperor Wilhelm; one, a printer, has been sentenced to four years’ imprisonment, and another to two years and a half for expressing their regrets that Nobeling’s attempt failed,

The Imperial Government have promised to supply the Dominion Government with two hundred copies of the report of the Halifax Fishery Commission, thus saving Canada the expense of printing a very bulky volume. The question now arises whether it will be necessary to translate and print the report in French, which would involve the outlay of $8,000.
The Times declares that a more honorable triumph than that achieved by England in securing the discussion ef the whole Treaty of San Stefano has seldom been won by diplomacy or statesmanship. The hasty generalizations and hasty outlines of Gen- eral Ignatieff, it says, will be keenly criti- cized at Congress, and it will prove a very different thing to draw a map of Bulgaria at Sen Stefano in the presence of trembling Pashas, and to justify sucha mup before the most experienced statesman in Europe, The Agence Russe says the presence of the . leading Ministers in Congress and the spirit which animates the Cabinet gives hope that the Eastern question will be dealt with on a broad basis and an understanding be reached which will consolidate the peace of Europe. In consequence of the possibility of Turkey provoking a renewal of hostilities, Russia and England have agreed to keep their forces in their respective position in the neighborhood of Constantinople until

a central position between Constantie nople, Adrianople and Gallipoli. Ministers
Bratiana and Cogalniceno are charged with having signed an agreement with Russia for the occupation of a of Roumania, with- out fixing any date for its evacuation. This has given rise to a suspicion that those Min- isters have a leaning towards Russia. Plo- jesti is reported to have been occupied by the Russians on the ground that the Rou- manian army was threatening their commu- nications.
