D 1 DECLARATION of War between Eog- _ J land and Russia, and immediate advance of a few millions of the enemy's soldiers on the Australian Colonies. Prince SottpKckoff, with an army of 50J,000 men i(more or less}, has been ordered to sail for New Zealaad (on rafts.) General Tinpotsky, -with" 150,000 men, has been detached, with "imperative instructions, to pay particular attention to this portion of the colony, as the <7zar's Generals are advised that it is from -this quarter the most desperate defence may Ibe expected, in consequence of the well-tried jprowess of our local forces, whose warlike June has long since reached Russia's distant tahores. Tinpotsky's corps, when landed, 'will, by forced marches, rapidly advance on tthe left half-centre (in some if not many or adl directions, which is much more likely 4han otherwise). The imminence of the •danger will, therefore,' be readily understood, our Government fully realise the •gravity of affairs from their having at once -ordered every man (to a boy) under arms, »even every cadet under ten years of age, •capable of being borne in arms, must be xeady for the trumpet's blast (unless able to iproduce a medical certificate that he is laafiering from a measle). 120 rounds of •grape shot are to be issued to every citizen, •jtaa our Dunedin, Oamaru, and Otepopo ITolonteers, irrespective of age, sex, political AT religious persuasion, have taken the (hot, with sugar in it) that at their ctfiwtry'3 call they are ready to lay down tbeQtves (of everyone of their wives, or intend wives* relations) before they will allow the Muscovite to seize a bushel of oats or a jingle picket in Hay's Art Union (unless paid jar at prices). Our cadets, it has foeen .decided, shall be armed to the teeth ■(With-three rounds of (blanfc) cartridge, and jpQtt.che*;fall of (sugar) balls. All honor to cor -young braves. Doubtless the enemy vsill advanee by a series of retrograde movements fiom tiie right, left, centre, and other fl-irA-a and xaay therefore be expected to reach jaur shores about Christmas, but lone before that time Hay's Art Union Prizes mil Tjave been drawn, distributed, and placed in .safety from the enemy. The drawing for prizes will take place June 21st, at 8 p.m., •Thames-street, Oamaro. Country agents .please accept this notice —That all returns must be sent in by the 18th inst. at latest. Neglect of this will necessitate the postponeiment of the Prize .Drawing; and entail on jne considerable loss, and on the public disapCKKntment and inconveaience. r W, E. HAY.
