Pbince Gortehakoff is in a very jubilant state of mind over the depression of trade in England. Prince Gagarine asked him what he thought of the prospects. " Bed, very bad for England, but glorious for Russia," replied the Chancellor, "If we can only keep things unsettled in Europe another five years, England will be completely smashed. She can't do without peace, because peace is the basis of prosperity of trade. For us, foreign trade is a luxury we can dispense with. Our people are accustomed to live hardy: a little black bread and kasher (boiled millet) are all they look for, and, being most of them peasants with farms of their own, they are almost self-supporting. Lop off our foreign trade, and you only touch a tithe of our merchants. Inflict a similar calamity on England, and her political power tumbles into the German Ocean. How can we affect this best, you ask P See what we are doing now, and watch the results in England. There you have your answer." —Vanity Fair.

Mb Chaplin, 4he American actor (says an Exchange), who was 10 great a favorite in Christchurch during his sojourn in this city last year, proposes returning to New Zealand and Australia, leaving New York by the mail on April 14th. He intends bringing a leading lady with him, Miss, Rose Osuorne. Mr Chaplin has also made engagement with Mr John E. Owens, the well known American comedian, who will first play in Sydney. In May next Miss Rose Etynge also cornea to the colony under engagement to the same gentleman. Mr Chaplain will probably play in New Zealand before proceeding to Australia.
