Supplementary Estimates.

Mr Cartwright brings down closely-cut regular estimates to give the organs the opportunity of singing his praises, but in the last week of the session submits supple- mentary estimates to the amount of three million dollars! His regular estimates for 1877-78 were $23,378,000 ; his supplemen- tary, brought down on Monday and yester- day, $2,825,000 ; total for 1877-78, $26,- 203,000, For 1878 79 his regular estimates are $23,440,000, which he has just increased by $664,000. What the total expenditure for 1878-79 will amount to before he gets through, remains to be seen. The expendi- ture tabie is now as follows :--

Pa ee eee Russian March Towards India.

(From the N. Y. Journal of Commerce. )

British

The threatened advance of Russia toward British India is a bugbear of which much is sure to be made at the present time. English statesmen and writers conjure it up to stimulate the war feeling- of the coun- try. Nothing more surely appeals to British pride and patriotism than an assertion that the India Empire is endangered by Russian ambition and lust of conquest. Authors of recent books—‘*‘The Ride to Khiva” and others—about Central Asia, have contri- buted to the volume of the prejudices and incorrect impressions. Russian journalists have also designedly worked on England’s jealousy and anxiety by boasting of the progress made in Central Asia by the troo of the Czar, and hinting what might done to worry England in that direction if war broke out between the two countries. Having discovered that England is ex- tremely touchy on this score, the Russian editors cannot forbear plagueing her a little. + * ™ *

Every step that Russia takes into Cen- tral Asia costs her thousands of lives and million of roubles. It is the chosen home Nothing to eat or drink can be had along hundreds of miles of the desert way. It isa country of wil- derness and mountains, inhospitable and almost impassable. The savage tribes that roam over parts of it are good fighters and have always given the Russians plenty of

NO. 295.

hard work, gallantly resisting their sucees- sive explorations and military encroach- ments and only yielding to overwhelming force. But the natural obstacles, and not the opposition of the natives, make Russia pause in her advances southward. And the whole cotntry, save that bordering the rivers, would be worth nothing tg her when she got it. Russia has and can have no other object in annexing portions of Cen- tral Africa, or bringing them under her ‘* protection,’ than to keep its turbulent tribes in order. These have always been an annoyance to Russia. They are given to phindering excursionsand used to invade Russia, stealing, burning and murdering, until the Czar determined to erush them out at all haszards. This has been neary done in a series of most expensive expedi- tions, and the Russians are now coma- ratively unmolested. These borders have, from necessity, been pushed further south, until now they are within a few hundred miles of the British-Indian boundary. The expense of this to Russia is enormous. It does not pay her in any sense, except that she now prevents the frontier disturbances to which she was formerly exposed. This she does by forts anda thorough military occupation of the conquered country. The same necessity-—or destiny —may impel her still farther southward. [t may bring her at last up to the British line itself. What then! She will simply have reached a point where there will be longer need or ex- cuse for going beyond. * * *

In whatever way the present Russo-Eng- lish quarrel may be settled, nothing except the resolute armed interference of England herself can in future prevent the gradual annexation of a great part of Central Asia by Russia. The work is bound to go on, and the sooner it is accomplished the better for the subjugated tribes themselves, ond for England, and for all except Russia, which will have the trouble and the vast expense of managing the new provinces, but not sufficient counterbalancing gain. As for the danger of a contest between Russia and pens where their frontiers are coterminous, that is quite imaginary. They could dwell pannelair side by side, as Russia and Germany, Spain and Portugal, the United States and Canada, now do.

A Bigamist’s Career.

Orrawa, May 7.—Chief of Police Miles Guest, of Watertown, arrived here yester- day, his object being to induce wife No.2

of Dr. Sharp to proceed to Watertown and give evidence against him on a charge of bigamy. The woman, who is a disreputable character, and known by the name of Han- nah Bate, at first refused, but through the assistance of Detective McVeitty she was induced to leave with Mr. Guest by the St. Lawrence and Ottawa railway this morning. The career of the bigamist is an eventful one from a criminal pomt of view He came to Ottawa ‘several years ago with his first wife, and whilst here was captured by Han- nah’s fascinations. He passed off asa sin- gle man, and subsequently married. her. Shortly after this his first wife died broken- hearted. He lived but a short time with his second wife, when they quarrelled and separated. He then left tor Montreal, where he blackmailed a man and passed a bogus cheque. When things got too hot for him in Montreal, he struck out for fresh fields, putting up at Watertown and hang- ing out his shingle as Dr. Sharp, an emin- ent English physician, who had had great experience in the London, Paris, Vienna, Berlin, Constantinople, Moscow, and St. Petersburg hospitals. Being something of a quack, he sometimes had patients, but the Chief says an investigation showed that an uncommonly large number died. While in the full tide of his prosperity, he met a charming young lady, daughter of a pro- minent citizen of Watertown, wooed and won her, and received the sanction of her parents to a matrimonial union. “They were married, but their cup of bliss soon turned to bitterness, for Hannah Bate soo appeared on the scene, and claimed the eminent English physician as her ,lawful wedded husband, and produced documén- tary evidence in substantiation of her asser- tion. ‘The matter was * investigated, and Sharp was arrested on a charge of bigamy, The Grand Jury brought in a true bill against him, but he managed to coax Han- nah to leave Watertown and come to Cane ada before the trial camr on.

- + 22 eo _ TerrisLe Surrertnc at Ses.—intelh- gence from Boothbay, Nova Scotia, has

reached Liverp 0] of the arrival there of the crew of the brig ‘* Blanch,” of Digby, N. S., after having suffering great privations. The ‘** Blanch,’ it apes, left P nia for St. Kitts with lhunber, and shortly after sprang a leak. The vessel became water- logged, and access to the provisions was consequently cut off. The vessel remained in this condition for eight days without fall- ing in with any ship, durmg which time the crew could obtain no food, As a_ last re- source, a dog which was on board was kill- ed and ravenously eaten by the starving crew. By this means life was sustained until they were fallen in by the schooner ** Sea Bird,” which took them on board, and landed them at Boothbay. Previous to the rescue, however, the mate left the disabled vessel on a raft, and it is supposed that he perished. The ‘‘ Sea Bird” had en- countered heavy weather, and was partly dismasted. She had also on board the crew of the schooner Kedron.—Liverpoo!l Post, April 24,
