WILL ENGLAND AND RUSSIA FIGHT IN AsIA.-As
might have been anticipated. a loud trumpet blast
for war reaches England from India. as a conse-
quence of the Russian victories in Central Asia.
The Anslo-lndians appear to regard the Russian
aggressiOns with undisguised alarm, and demand
that England shall meet the foe half way. and con-
tend. like Alexander, for the Empire of Asia. The
war feeling in India, stimulated by the successes
in AbysSinia. has reached fever heat, and a power
full pressure has been brought to bear upon the
Governor General to induce him to declare war
before Russia can have an opportunity of strength-
ening herself in her new conquest in Bokhara. .
Although the Russians may be unpleasantly near
the English possessions IN Central Asia. yet the
two nations are still separated by a vast expanse of
nearly n thousand miles. The warlike kingdom of
Afghanistan intervenes. This kingdom is situated
in the mountainous region between Persia and the
Himalayas. and may probably be regarded as the
key of Central and Southern Asia. The Anglo-In-
dams demand that the English Government shall
take advantage of the civil war that now RACES in
Afghanistan to obtain possession of the country by
siding with one or the other of the rival factions
which invoke foreign aid. This course. it is claimed.
will secure England a strong natural frontier, and
at once bring the progress of Russia in Asia TO a
stand-still.

1HE RECIPROCITY TBEATY.-The following petition
was circulated last week, and presented to the King.
Many more names might have been added, had more
time been taken to obtain them. There is but one
opinion about the disturbances of the treaty, which
the course Of the ministry, but more particularly of
the Minister Of Foreign Affairs, well nigh frustrated.
Whatever is done towarnS securing its passage, must
be done during the three months following Dee. l,
as the present American administration reures from
office on the 4th of March, and a new cabinet and
a new Congress then take charge of public affairs
Mr.. Seward Will doubtless be ambitious TO secure the
passage of this treaty, whether the Canadian treaty
succeeds or not To have an envoy or agent ut
Washington in December is therefore all-impOrtant.
We understand that Mr.. Harris has been re-appoint-
ed TO this service, and will leave on the Montana on
the 9th, and though the mercantile community here
have little faith in the good that has been or may be
accomplished by him, and did not by any means in
tend by the memorial to him, yet a worse
appointment might have been made; for example, If
His Ex. c. de Varigny had been named. We believe
that Gen. Jas. F. &. Marshall, who has worked with
untiring zeal for its passage, is the best man for the
service, and if lie can also be secured, we should
have much more faith in the success of the measure.

y \ FALSE ALARM was given on Sunday morn
ing last, to which the fremen promptly responded.
1t proved to be from a native oven between Smith
and Maunakea streets. The person who caused the
alarm was arrested and very properly fined ten dol
lars. The fremen are always ready for duty, but do
not relish being called up at , O'Clock A. NJ. to put
out native omdS or ovens.

MEMPHIS. = The AUaZanche of
Tuesday says:
The snow spirit was abroad, yester-
day morning, and those who rose
early found the ground crusted with
snow, which continued to fall without
interruption until nine o'clock, at
which time it was of about three
inches depth, and would have been
deeper, but the earth had not lost its
warmth, and its snow covering melted
from its surface. The darkies who
for the most part play stevedoors and
roustabouts on the landing were hor-
rifed at the CHASTITY spectacle pre-
sented by all out-of-doOrs, and re-
treated to the Preside, or wrapped up
their heads In their blankets.
There Is full 8 feet in the channel
hence u Cairo, and z feet to Vicks-
burg. The Upper Mississippi is ris-
ing slowly, with 6 feet water from
Cairo to st. Louis.
The Arkansas and White rivers are
rising steadily, with fair steamboat
water.
