ference, and protect Its Christian subjects against
their Mohammedan neighbors.
RUSSIA AND DISQUALIFICATION.
Aletter from st. Petersburg, touching an impe.
rial council held there about fortnight since,
says:-
al am told on the best authority that the whole
question having been gone into in the presence Of
General Ignatlen, the members or the Council, over
which the Emperor presided were unanimous in
the conclusion that. in the present crcumstances,
peace is OF the greatest necessity to Russia.
ia
tions ideas of peaceful policy were accepted dur
ing that Council, and that the only point on which
the members differed was the time at which the
rehabilitation of the army should be ordered Ac-
cording to my informant, 1t was decided that the
order for rehabilitation should be issued as soon
as peace was signed between the Porte and Servia
and Montenegro"
ANARCHY IN coNsrANTIoPLE.
Advlces from Constantinoplc give a gloomy pic

letter says:-
"Under former Sultans there were instances
OF tyrannical, imprOvdcnt and rapaclous govern
ment, but under Sultan Abdul HaInid we are
in full anarchy, the Palace issuing orders without
consulting the Porte, the Porte transacting bust
ness without guidance from or communication with

SOCIETY AND THE GREAT BOAT RACE.
The town is filling up, now that Easter is near
at hand, and with every days arrivals Regent
street puts on gaycr appearance. The shop
windows are now dressed with ccrulean roscttcs
and blue silk stockings. The annual boat race
craze Is now upon us. Universal dissatisfaction
is found with the committee OF arrangements for
the carliness OF the hour--half-past eight--dxed
upon for the starting Of the race. The London
half-holiday makers claim that the race should be
rowed from Mortlake to Putney-down stream with
the ebb instead Of up stream with the food
tide THIS would throw the race into the early part
Of the afternoon. But the university men are fool
shIy disnclincd to alter the time to change the
direction OF the race, thereby ignoring Londons
appreciation OF their conduct or their performance.
