ENGLAND AND RUSSIA.
The " New York Times " says : —" Let us now briefly sum up the whole position. . . Russia wiil not hesitate to accept the guantlet if thrown down by England, as victory has blinded her to her own state. Internally she is rotten to the core ; her finances are at the lowest ebb, while two-thirds of her population are ripe for rebellion. England, on tho other hand, is stronger than ever she was before ; Iter people are united, and will respond to a call to arms like one man. It will be a sorry day for the Bear when he meets the Lion. . . . England needs not the assistance of Austria, France, or any other nation, to drub Russia; and instead of there being any foundation for the statements so often circulated, not only on the continent, but in England itself, that the latter is looked upon with contempt, the fact is that every eye in Europe is upon her, and that her movements are watched with more interest than those of any other Power."
