At about O'Clock Saturday even

The a. j.. Ramsay is intended
for the lake coast trade, is built OF

pacity OF forty thousand feet lun-
Der. She was built TOR Mr.. v.
Stiglet, by Mr.. Thos. Stiglet, and is
named for our Harrison county

MI. Ramsay was confined to his
bed at the time, and vas debarred
the pleasure of being present upo!
the occasion, which was regretted
ny his friends present.
After the vessel IA atloat Mr..
ThoS. Stiglet invited those present
to partake of wine, cake and other
refreshments, which all seemed to
ENJOY, and many toasts we're drunk
to the success of the beautiful
craft. At right the young folks
repaired to the residence of Mr..
V. Stiglet, near by, where the night
was spent in dancing and other
pleasures, and all had a happy
time. Nj. Thos. Stiglet, the build
er, is a Harrison county boy, is a
good workman, a clever gentleman
and deserves success, which he is
sure to attain. We wish the clever
owner of the Ramsay, Mr.. V. Stig-
let, much prosperity and many safe
trips with his elegant schooner.

The Schr. Industry, which arrived on Tuesday
last, in fifteen days from San Francisco, brings
US dates to the Both Of March. The news il
full of interest, Of which we give our usual
summary.
England is arming, becoming evidently, eager
for the fray, while Russia stands quietly await
ing her ouset, prepared and ready for it when
it comes. She has a large and well appointed
army already in the field where the bat les will
have to be fought, while her antagonist will be
hampered with the delay incident TO the trans
portation Of large bodies Of troops by sea, who
would necessarily be landed in a degree enleeb-
led by the fatigues of Il sea voyage. OF course,
the English commander will be able to choose
his own point of Decentralization, and under the
protection Of the feet, and consequently able to
concentrate his forces before the Russians would
be able to reach him, SO that on this point the
different advantage would seem to be about
evenly balanced.
AS matters are now :" drifting" it appears
that an Anglo-Austrian alliance is exceedingly
probable, for it is said that Count Andrassy has
only been feIgning concurrence with the Court
party and that ne il now preparing to oppose
Russia openly, with the entire Hungarian party
at his back. Hungary's hatred Of Russia is
most intense, for IL was by Russian bayODets
that her aspirations for liberty we're crushed
in I848. A dispatch from St. Petersburg says
that there is an excited party there who oppose
any concessions to Austria which might impair
the treaty Of San StefanO, which they consider
sufficiently humiliating for Russia already.
Russians say that the British Cabinet, in de-
demanding a formal assurance which none Of
the other Powers support, must have ono Of two
objects in view either to inhict formal humi-
liatiOn upon Russia, or to get out Of the necess-
ity of attending the Congress. In the first case,
Russia will make no concession in the latter,
the Congress will not be held, and she will en-
devor to come to an understanding with Ger
many and Austria. Thus England would con-
denim herself to isolation, make the Triple ALI
ance a necessity, and perhaps render imminent
that radical solution Of the Eastern question
which she wishes to prevent. This last intima-
ton, which seems TO have been foreseen, or at
least anticipated, by the Government in Eng
land, will not be without its effect upon the
war party of the latter country, coupled as it is
with the now ascertained fact Of a Russian

By the Pacific Mail Co.'S Steamer Gin Of
Sydney, which arrived on Wednesday night.
we are in receipt Of three days later intelligence
from Europe, via Auckland.
The Marquis of Salisbury, who succeeds Lore
Derby, has issued a circular 90 the Great Pow
ers, regretting that Russia should have declined
TO submit the whole terms Of peace TO the con
ference. The effect Of the circular caused Russia
to order her army 10 prepare for war.
The British Government has notified the
Colonies it is necessary 20 take all available
defensive measures for the protection Of their
territory.
The Queens Message 10 Parliament assigns
as a reason for calling out the reserves the
maintenance Of peace and the protection Of the
interests Of the Empire.
On April 2, the Government sent a circular
note 10 the Powers, explaining England's policy.
The tone is firm, but not defiant. IL refuses
consent 10 a partial discussion Of terms, an ex-
animation whereof proves that grave results are
impending by subordinating Eastern Europe 10
Russia.
Recruiting in England is going on actively.
The Home Government requests the Canadian
Dominion TO put the Pacific Coast Of British
Columbia in a state Of defense.
The Royal artillery at Halifax has been Or

Hungary strongly favors the English alliance.
This a%ttitional summary of news by the

SIR Yesterday was one of those days that lin
tentionally or nOt! very forcibly gave to a large
part of our community a foretaste Of really q" dry
pipes" The water had been shut off Yesterday
morning before 8 a. m, and as not everybody
reads the Gazette, and scarcely any native reads an
English newspaper, the short notice given by the
Superintendent Of Water Works had been very lit
tie noticed. l would suggest that in future, when
the water is to be shut off. that sufficient notice be
given to the public by posters, so that even those
who don't take a newspaper may be duly informed.
