DECLARATION of War between England and Russia, and immediate advance of a few millions of the enemy's soldiers on the Australian Colonies. Prince Soupsfckoff, with an army, of 500,000 men (more or less), has been ordered to sail for New Zealand (on rafts.) General Tinpotsky, with' 50,000 men, has been detached, with imperative instructions, to pay particular attention to this portion of the colony, as the Czar's Generals , are advised that it is from this quarter the most desperate defence may be expected, in consequence of the well-tried pitowess of our local forces, whose warlike fame,has'long .since reached Russia's distant shores. Tinpotsky's corps, when landed, will, by forced marches, rapidly advance on the left half-centre (in some if not many or all direbtions, which is much more likely than otherwise). The imminence of the danger will, therefore, be readily understood, and that our Government fully realise the gravity;of affairsfrom 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 de ready for the trumpet's blast (unless able to a • medical ! certificate that he iB suffering from a measle). 120 rounds of grap'e shot are to be iasued to every! citizen, and our Dunedin, Oamaru, and . Otepopo Volunteers, irrespective of age, sex, political or 'religious perauasibni 'have; taken the oath (hot; with' sugar 1 in it) that at their country's call they are ready to lay down the lives (of everyone of their wives, or intended wives' relations) before they will allow the Muscovite tti seize a bushel of oats or a single ticket in Hay's Art Union (unless paid for at current. prices). Our cadets, it has been decided,, shall be armed to the teeth with three rounds of (blank) cartridge, and pouches full of (sugar) balls. All honor to our young braves. Doubtless the enemy will advance by a series of retrograde movements from the right, left, centre, and other flanks, and may therefore be expected to reach our shores about Christmas, but long before that time Hay's Art Union Prizes will have 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, Oamaru. Country agents please accept this notice —That all returns mu st be sent, in by the 18th inst. at latest. Neglect of this will necessitate the postponement of the Prize Drawing; and entail on'irie considerable lossjl arid on the public disap-' poiutineafc Wad i
