BRITISH INDIA.

One ofthe immediate causes ofthe pro-
found interest taken by the British peo-
pie in the quarrel between Russia and
Turkey, is the influence which a war in
volvng England therein must have on
the British Empire in India. A favorite
theme with the anti-Russian party in En-.
gland, for many years, has beeen the
steady and threatening advance of The
Russian power in Asia towards the Brit,
ish East Indian Empire. Every success
of arms and ofnegotiation by which Rus
sia has advanced her frontier or acquired
influence in Asia, has been watched and
denounced as one step nearer the suppoS-
ed aim of overturning the British domi-
Mon. Volumes have been written to a.
rouse the British nation against these de-
signs, and the Government has so far Civ
en- its countenance to the reality Of the
danger as to have sent costly embassies
to Persia and other intervening countries
to counteract Russian intrigues and cs-
tablsh an adverse English influence. The
late war with thesAhghans was traced to
Russian plots against England and the
result has left a unquiet frontier, which
must be protected with strong arms against

10 the illustrations of the vegetables
given above We may add one that will
shortly be within the observation ofthosc
who are fond ofcutivatng Towering bul.
bs. We refer to the Cyclamea Persi-
cum, a bulb bearing q flower Of rare de.
licacy and beauty While in full flower,
the stems are erect, but as the tinted pc
tails decay with age, the straight stem
gradually bows, losing, however, none OF
its vitality, until it forms a crescent, the
lower horn of which, bearing the seed
pod, will press against the side Of tho
hower-pot, about two-thirds of tile depth
below the rim. AS soon as that obstruc-
tion is felt by the plant, the stem will
gradually take side-ward direction, SO
as to be parallel to instead of at an angle
with the side of the Aower-pot. 1t will
then retrace its march by increasing its
curvature until it has climbed over tho
rim of the hower.pot, and deposited its
seed pod on the mould near the present
bulb. The plant is probably too delicate
to bear exposure in the open ground in
our climate. When thus planted, el-
miliar deposit of the seed is made by tho
plant, but the instinct is more clearly
shown in the manner of overcoming tho
artificial obstacle Were the plant to
persist in the original direction of the cur.
vature of the stem, the seed pod wonld
only be pressed more strongly against
the side of the fower.pot. By the alte'
ration of the direction ofthe curve itsnr-
mounts the difficulty. But natures realm
is full of such wonderful displays of ins.
