REVIEW OF THE PAST MONTH.

ABROAD.- The Russian Aggression on Turkey has kept the nations of Europe in a state of excitement and agitation during the whole of the past month. Couriers have been passing and repassing by rails or steam-ships perpetually. The Russian Embassy had quitted Constantinople, and the Russian merchants were leaving the

city. The Turks were mustering all their forces for vigorous defence, and the French and English fleets were in readiness to aid them. The eight days allowed for a reply to the Emperor's ultimatum would expire on the 16th June, when, if still refused, it would cross the Pruth, and sieze upon was expected that the Russian armies Moldavia and Wallachia, where the English and French could not aid in opposing them. How distressing is the thought that one havock, and let slip the dogs of war," inman, like this ambitious emperor, can "cry volving the lives and happiness of thousands of human beings! One thing is certainMahommedanism must fall. It was established by the sword, and by the sword it may perish. But the object of the Russian autocrat is not so much the putting down of that imposture and the protection of the Greek Church, as the setting up of himself as monarch of the East of Europe. England and France are not likely to permit this, though Austria and Prussia dare not move. And this quarrel has been provoked by the man who pretended to be the pacifier of nations. He may, however, find more work than he expects. Hungary is close upon the scene of action, and the Poles and Italians are not far distant. Will they be quiet, should a chance offer of casting off the yoke of their despots? The Georgians and Circassians too would join in the fray, in revenge for Russian aggression upon them. But we must wait and see. Our consolation is that "The Lord reigneth."

AT HOME.-Little has occurred to call for special remark. The Queen was expected to visit the Dublin Ehibition in a few days when we went to press.
