Itussians a,n,c1 -fif ghans. Latest despatches confirm the report of a collision between RIISSiarli, and Afghans Lear Penjdeh on the turghab river, in which some 500 men were killed. Penjdeh is a small collection of ' huts about six wiles north east of Pul-i-kisti and about the same distance from Ak-Tapa. These places command the two rivers o Eastern Badglais •and the direct route to Herat up the valley of the Hushk, and are therefore of consider: able strategic, importance The cap: ture of Penjdeh will no doubt be considered a "casus belli" for which England by her prompt action is calling out the reserves, &c, is well prepared. She has 5,000 men massed in India with a reserve of 75,000 while the Aineer her ally has another 50,000 so that within one month she can pour 175,000 well drillsd and equipped men into the very heart oi Afghanistan. Without doubt Russia has blundered into this as into the Crimian war by trying to impose too much on English patience and for bearance. • TOWN COUNCIL. • .

A mighty lion sprawling lay O'er half the earth, on India's strand One heavy paw, on Afric's sand The citlaeritretched away; His haunches covered Erin's isle. His;tail switched Canada the while. AA if by preconcerted plan El Mahc.4 ,on Egyptian hills, ts, El Pandi with his many ills, And Riel and all began. To pinch and punch, and prod and flail This mighty beast, and twist his tail. Those smarting torments Loo bore As might a once -great king, untkroned— • 'Twas said he even writhed and:groaned, And felt his. reign as o'er Then all the beasts began to glower Upon their king deprived of power. A well-fed, fat, and clumsy bear, ' That browsed from Artic's frozenaliore To summer seas, yet longed for more, Approached the lion's lair, And gave his stubby tail a swish, And poked his nose in Leo's dish. One mighty roar the lionlwoke That filled the echoes far and near, , And Bruin stood transfixed withjear, While thus he trembling spoke; . "Pray let me go, I've had enough." And turned his tail and toddled off. .WINGHAM MARKET.
