ENGLAND AND RUSSIA.

The startling announcement is made ii our cable news to-day tliat the Britisl Cabinet has agreed to grant to Russit nil she asks, with the sole proviso tlml she shall bind herself never to tak< Herat. This piece of news is noi official, and it is scarcely credible thai England could so humiliate herself, Bint if Mr Gladstone really propose! to throw all honor to the wind; theirwi venture to predict that be will raise such ut storm of public feeling as was never before known in Englund, ant .that the hitherto honored name of tli< Premier will be'a" subject for execra tion throughout the length and breadtl of the British Empire.

It is hard to say whether the excitement of tho election or an occasional outbreak of animal feeling lead a number of men who were In town yesterday, to indulge in sundry freaks, which wore not entirely to the taste of businoss men, but it was noticed that there was a good deal of rowdyism yesterday, and two out of the four hotels in the place found it advisable to close their doors before the prescribed hour, The disturbances were not, however, of a serious nature, Onr local contemporary was on a recent occasion, very angry with'us for publishing a letter which he had refused, and which we inserted on tho ground that it was a fair comment on a subject which had appeared jn his own columns. We notice that yesterday Jjeput in a letter which we had doelinoi}, that "both sides of the question sirf Jiavo publicity. " The explanation of inconsistency may be found in tjj fi fopfc that the first letter refered to, was in answer to statements made by him, and' the second (written by Mr Girdwood), was supposed to deal with correspondence that had appeared in our columns.

Mr R.

Miss Galloway, who is at present in Wellington, has written to her parents, to say that she had seen Mr Parker, the well-known music master, who asked her a number of questions relating to musical matters, and told her that what she had been taught she had been taught thoroughly, He added that he was not aware that there was sucli a good teacher in Masterton.

The hatching house of the Society had been prepared for its reception, and it was at once placed there. We may. say that this is l the first consignment that has been received in the district, and.the process of , hatching will, therefore, be watched with great interest, If the Wairarapa rivers prove suitable for this, the king of fishes, it should not bo many yeajsbefpre anglers can have some splendid sport, ■ A narrow escape from what might have proved a fatal accident, occurred on v one ' of the up country roads, one wet and stormy night recently. -A gentleman, driving his family in a buggy towards home, on turning a sharp bend in the , road, leading to a gully, apross which , only a narrow bridge, without handrails was placod, porceived, within a short distance, another vehicle approaching at a rapid pace from the opposite direction, 1 No room to pass, a collision s coined inovitable, But the drivers of tlio two conveyances wore equal to the occasion and with admirablo presenco of mind ■ applied thoir brakes, bringing the horses to a standstill within a fow feet, and tho occupants were able to congratulate each other ou having had fitted, powerful brakes, and good lamps to their carriages, by Muir and Dixon of the Masterton ' Coach Factory, who are now building all kinds of vehicles at fabulously luw prices. —Aovt.
