YORZION AFFAIRS.

While the Royal Geographical Society is awarding its
gold medal to the Russian admiral, who has explored the
remote waters in Central Aaia, this advance is regarded
in Calcutta and Bombay, remarks the Times, with
undisguised uneasiness and apprehension. It is said that
the Bunn= outposts are pushed within 300 miles of our
frontier, and we are asked how long we mean to tolerate
• state of things so full of danger and discredit. The
Times however, ranges itself on the side of the society,
attaching no importance to the danger of Russian
invasion. The distance which separates India from
the real seats of Russian power, the climate, the
innumerable national obstacles, the endless defiles of
Affghaniatan, and the character of the Alien=
themselves, would all wear away these children of the
north ere they could reach the burning plains of India.
Russia has work before her far more tempting ; for it is
quite in her power, if she chooses, patiently and gradually
to occupy the vast regions of Central Asia, and to extend
her power and her commerce over the whole of the region
that stretches from the Caspian Sea to the frontier of
China, and from the Altai Mountains to the Himalayas.
We have everything to gain by a change which shall
establish some approach to peace anal order in Central
Asia. The world is wide enough for both of ns, and our
neighbours can hardly prosper without imparting to us a
portion of their prosperity.
The Daily News shows that the policy of Southern re-
construction will be helped by the liberation of Mr. Davis,
removing the last trace of vindictiveness, and practically
assuring the South that the Northern people only require
guarantees for the safety of the new political and social
system established by the war, and that when those gua-
rantees are given the reconciliation will be complete.
There is but the faintest probability that Mr. Davis will
ever be tried. His treason has met with the maximum
of *Meal disaster and the minimum of personal credit
sad honour. He belongs to the catalogue of exiles who
have fought against freedom and lost the battle ; it is
the names of those who defeated him which will be house-
hold words in the homes of the Southern poor.
The Mexican Empire, the Post now says, was constructed
on a scaffold of misrepresentation, and those who are
morally answerable for the blood that has been shed, be
they whom they may, can have no absolution on this side
of the grave.

Discussing the news from Madrid, relative to the case of
the Tornado, the Daily News concludes that the demands
which we are bound now to enforce are simply those which
for six months Lord Stanley has reserved oar right to
enforce. The Tornado, sailing under British colours,
must be restored with due indemnity for the delay, since
it is now an impossibility that she can be legally con-
demned. Her crew must be Indemnified for a detention
that has been utterly illegitimate, and attended with
gross and needless hardship. The alleged Chili= officer,
as either a seaman or a passenger, must be restored on the
the same principle as the Confederate officers taken from
the Trent.

On the motion for going into committee on the
Sunday Trading Bill, Viscount Amberley intends to move
that the house go into committee that day six months.
Major Anson (one of the original Cave) intends
to move to-morrow that the order of the house (May 3),
that the petition of E. Truelove and others do lie upon
the table, be read and discharged ; and that so much of
the appendix to the twenty-second report of public peti-
tions as comprises a printed copy of the said petition be
ea:welled.

On Tuesday next Sir George Stileley intends to
ask the Vice-President of the Council whether his atten-
tion has been called to the present system of ventilating
the sewers by shafts covered with open iron gratings
placed in the centre of narrow and much frequented
thoroughfares ; and whether the gases dispersed by means
of such gratings could not be carried off in some other way.
In committee on the West India Bishop and
Clergy Bill, Mr. Adderley will propose to add to the end
of clause 1:—" Provided, That upon the death or resig-
nation of the said Bishop of Jamaica the annual salary or
sum of I,floot, now payable, and paid to the said Bishop
of Kingston out of the salary apportioned under the said
seta to the said Bishop of Jamaica, shall be paid to the
said Bishop of Kingston out of the growing produce of
the Consolidated Fund of Great Britain and Ireland, so
long as he shall exercise episcopal duties and functions in
the diocese of Jamaica under and by virtue of letters
patent dated the 6th day of November, 1861."

The Rev. Edward Stuart, of St. Mary Magda-
lene, Munster-square, proposes, in the Guardian, an ad-
dress of thanks to the Bishop of Salisbury for his charge.
"It lea great encouragement in these days," Mr. Stuart
thinks, " to find the doctrines of the Prayer-book clearly
and unhesitatingly maintained by a bishop."
