THE RUSSIAN QUESTION.
There is more ominous news from Afghanistan to-day. According to a la ( fce cable message, Russia, acting on her customary system of tactics; has taken advantage of the present political crisis m England to plan another advance on Afghan territory: A Wellington paper writing on the f subjoct remarks :•— We thought there must be something of the sort impending when matters were so particularly quiet* at a time that seemed particularly suitable for another of Russia's "friendly nioves" — which, bye the bye, always remind one of that carried on by the amiable Mr Silas Wegg. It is to be feared tliat the news, if confirmed, means mischief— mischief of a very serious nature; m plain terms, war. Let us hope it will prove susceptible of a favorable explanation.
