NOTES AND COMMENTS.

Whilst we colonists of New Zealand, in company with our brothers in the huge Australian island, are fond of remarking upon the great progress our respective countries have made as regards increase of population, of wealth, and of ex ports, we are apt to forget that; other countries are moving ahead aleo. Aa it is unsafe for the sculler in the race to shut his eyes to the progress of the other compe titors, so it is just as well for us, woikers in theFe new lands, to glance now and, then at whatisbeingdoneby other agricultural com munities, and see tbat we rest not on our oars, nor get into the haDit of only watching our own advance. Following out this ideu, we give the following figures and factß relating to a country whose exports bid lair to seriously compete with tbo.e.r.f Austra lasia, which will doubtless be interesting and new to most of our readers.: The popu lation of tho Argentine Republic in 1865 was 1 580,000 ; that of Au.t'alia, 1,544,000. In 1875 the Argentine Republicans hud increased -to 2 3-0 000 ; Australia to 2,444 000 Last y.s.'r tbe loimer's popu lation had ag-in iri.r.inße-1 io 3,310,0i'0, and ihe inner* lo 3 363,000. The number of nt»- comers, immigrant-, to the K.publio duiin. the 25 >. _.r_ ending ISSS was 972,000 ;ro Ausr.ruba, 866,000 Tho returns also -how thattio immigrants to tho Argentine Ropublic excetded 100,000 per yearduriug the la't three years, 'last year there being 120,0f'0. In tbe Ro public last year there were 14,000,000 horned cattle, against 8 000.000 in Australia. Tbe most striking featurn, however, is the rapid increase in sheep in the Republic, which bids fair to our.ti umber those of Australia in a year or two Wo find that) in 1865 there were" 28,00i',0H0 of these u-e ---tul anitrals in the Republic, a. d 34,000,000 in ' ustralia ; in 1575, in the Ro public, 44.000.000; in Auetralia,G-,000 000; last year, however, finds the Republic with 80,000,000. and Australia only 2 000.000 ahead, namely, with 82,000,000. The total value of the imfo.-ta and expous ' for 1876 wero for the Ar-_en'ine Republic £12,200,000 ; last year they amounted to £22 800,000. Tbe oxport of cereals was ten years ago only 8,000 tons ; last, year it amounted to 85,000 tons. Russian intrigue has been at work amoDg the garrison of Siliscria to provok. tho revolt against tbe authority of tli» Bul garian Regency. All Russia wants ia an excuse for armed occupation, and the revolt is well timed Silistri. is ay. ailed city on the Danube, having a population of 23,080. It wus besieged by the Ru-nisna nu ing the war of 1854, and .o ably defended by the Turks that tha invaders were compelled to ahnr d n their works ar.d recro?s.the Danub- In the war of 1878-9 the Turka hold .Ufat* hrougbout tho campaign, evacnati_g |. only after the Armistice of Adriariopie waa signed, which preceded by about three weeks the formal signature of the Treaty of Peace at San Stefan o. If Russia could get ( hold of thia fortr-as through the disaffection of the garrison, it would give that power a strong grip upon Bulgaria, and complete command of the Danube navigation, '
