Ida LONDON, TUESDAY, AUGUST )4. SPORTING A SPECIAL EDITION el the " EXPRESS," esataiaiag the malts of the day's Bar* Is pub tithed wog mein dating the Sporting Season, at eta &desk. Mix who have resided in tropical cl;matss relate wonderful stories of the doings of wHe ante. A respectable householder leans against a wooden pillar of his dwelling and tumbles through it ; sr he sits down on a solid.looking bench and finds hhaself deposited on the floor. He takes doe.' from a shelf some long undisturbed book, and finds nothing left bat the cover. The white ants, those industrious workers in the dark, have been mining diligently, leaning the exterior sound and una.tered, but making the interior • were flimsy skeleton. Now this is the sort of operation that his been performed in Turkey to a wonderful extent by the protecting Powers. Exhibiting a pra;mworthy solicitude about keeping the geographical outline of the country intact, they have quietly sapped the strength of the Government by removing large section. of the population practically from under its moral influence and control. Were anything better saheb toted we should have little to say on the natter, but this iv not always the case. Russia, Austria, and France are the white ants of Turkey. Remits has laboured diligently te teach the Greek OdlieliCa of all shades to look up to her es their real sove reign —their protector in OW of oppression, their supporter when a chance offers far doing a little hit of oppression on their own account. France has done the same once for the Latin Christians, and eaten& her protectorate over a very wide field, including every seat that professes a shadow of obe dience to the POPE. Austria, in right of her mixed races, Greek and Catholic, substitut w herself for either Russia or France as occasion may offer, or sides with one or the other of them as as according to circumstances. It mrit be confessed also, that, not to be quite out of the fashion, Eng land and Prussia have established • Protestant Bishopric at Jerusalem ; but the business of religious diminution does not sees to thrive in our hands; it has come to a GOBAT, and is appenatly only another element of discord added to that headquarters of religions "rows," the Holy City. The aims of Russia, Austria, and Franco have, however, the advantage of being clearly defined. Russia proposes to push her frontier on to the Danube, and after that as it may please Providence ; Austria looks upon &feria as properly here, and the Danube and the Drave as her natural boundaii throughout their whole coarse. France, having been from time immemorial the protector of the Latin Christians, and Syria being their chief locality, she considers that country as destined sooner or later to fall into her hands. She doubtless salves her conscience by the reflection that wonders have been effected in Algeria, and that Syria, under her rale, would be a happier land for its inhabitants, sad a blesiag• to Europe, instead of what it now is. England is out of the hunt. We want non of the SULTAN'S territory, unless it be perhaps a piece of the Holy Land, as a place where religions enthu siasts might blow off their superfluous steam, emd iadulge in all sorts of polemics with all sorts of Cluinians, varying their operations by trying to eonvert the Jews. In nicer seriousness, has England any policy with regard to Turkey, and if so, what L it? We have • sort of negative policy, which consists in watching that her neighbours do not nibble off pieces of her territory, but we do not pea• vent the whits ant basinss from going on; aad the Turkish empire, with its geographical features in tsct, may nevertheless be as unstable as a house of cards, and practically parcelled out among foreign potentates. Our policy should be to strengthen Turkey, to raise the people, and with them to raise their rulers. There is but one alietual mode of doing this—commerce. Stimulate the sommercial spirit of the people, and you will do more to annihilate the fanaticism of Islamism than armies of missionaries or congresses interminabl e could 'obese. Is thagra•t wealth of England, in the energy and commercial astuteness of our countrymen, we have • weapon which has ere now proved itself tore than • match for vast military power and elaborate diplomatic combinations. We hare tried the system of opposite( asibeseador to =baseman at Constantinople, sad consul to coeval is other parts of the East, and the result has been either barren triumphs, profitless to to and to Turkey, or, still oftener, positive defeats in the struggle to retain lefinence among the people. It is union to Amy the fact, English prestige plays a very eseondary part in the Levant, and barely mikes to suable es to afford the necessary protec tion to our own subjects, or to obtain justice for our co-religionists. Why sot try the other system, and, by making Turkey and its subjects our debtors for wealth and 'alight's/met, lay the foundation of a more permanent and profitable influence which shall eo•nterbalanes that of the ether powers, which is chiefly beard on religious grounds, and, at the same time, strengthen the hands of the Turkish Govern ment ? The Turk, •he ger A i no O sman li , has aue et , the enterprising trader in his nature, belt there is hardly a poetise of the Seism= empire without • large admixture of the Greek, Armenian, or Arab sternest in it, where the spirit of traffic can be easily stimulated, and where the advantages of an im proved state of physical well-being would be as ewe appreciated. There is no country offer ing a wider and more promising field far tom menial enterprise than Turkey. Syria has been proved to be admirably adapted, among other things, for the growth of cotton, and the English Govern ment has recently forwarded a supply 0 the Sea Island seed to that country. Bat this is mot all that Is wanted. Capital and labour an equally, nalemeary, bet they will not flow thither unless sure of being left unmolested, and of enjoying the protection of the law, firmly and honestly administered. Roads THE EXPRESS, TUESDAY EVENING, AUGUST 24, 1858. are a still greater desideratum, and there again the same two essential are wanting. Some of the now dangerous parts of the Le vant need but a moderate catty to ra der them safe and convenient harboars, bat the Government is too poor to irtidertake the neces sary works, andthe existing trade is barely thScient to permit dues to be levied that would render such works remanerative. Can we do none of these things for Turkey P We doubt if the difficulties are insurmountable or even serious. A French company has ob- 1 tained the concession of a road from Damascus to Beyrout ; so that it is clear that such undertakings can be committed to the hands of foreigners. But, although the whole cost is not estimated at more than 120,0001.—a sum within the means of more than one English contractor—the enterprise hangs fire for lack of funds. The Turkish authorities show a stupid jealousy of manufacturing establishments founded by Lawgivers. But, in the Island of Rhodes, the perseverance of the French officials has at length overcome every obstacle thrown in the way, and a silk mill, the first established there, has been erected and brought into operation by • French subject. Similar results have followed French per- severance in the Lebanon, and the natives are be ginning to follow the example set before them end to erect silk mills for themselves; with what result the rapidly increasing importance and prosperity of Herod clearly ahows. What is there to prevent Englishmen from transplanting themselves and their capital, either as individuals at as companies, to the Turkish territory ; to the seaboard first, to the inte rior afterwards. It cannot be difficult to make the Turkish Government understand how important Ms to them to encourage such nuclei of prosperity, and exam ples of industrial working, by which their own people mast be so largely benefited in every way. With our cruisers constantly on the move, and with oar Consols at every port, we could assuredly compel the local authorities to administer even-handed justice to our fellow-ooemtrymen; and, in spite of the intrigues of the other Puma, and of the undertaking not to right is own wrongs with4wi an appeal to their joint bikini], England is surely strong enough to I SOM lot voice heard when claiming only that to diellehe is entitled in the nameof juaticeand hums my. °Roof the great arguments against the adoption d the plan we propose has been the peril Sot might arise in disputes as to wrongs srffered, or oestructs, direct or implied, broken. The answer to aosh objections comes readily to our hands. The Opelops has bombarded Jeddah because the Oeverner iroold not do summary justice on those who had owiemored our co-religionists there, although he had so power by the Turkish law to do so. We are not Galled upon to decide whether the act was a wise or am a just one, but it is a fait accompli, and, whether approved or disapproved by the other powers, we may be sure that thepsople and governors arJeddah will henoeforward th'ik take before they attempt to molest an Englishman. Tee Times has lately given publicity to miseries of very able and interesting mays on the expediency of removing from the limits of the Metropolis our great London Public Schools—C .riat's Hospital, the Charter House, St. Paul's, and Merchant Taylors'. Bagerding the matter simply rs a boys' question, and from the mere sentimental point of view, there is no doubt very much to be said for the views advocated by our contemporary. But the question, like most others, has two sides, and there are a large class of parents whose interests are not to be lost sight of in the con sideration of the matter. Where a school—es is the case with Christ's Hospital—,Desist. wholly of boarders, or where the numbers of the board. en very greatly predominate, as in the cue of the Charter House, the argument for removal is no doubt strong, though even in these cases it has certainly not been shown that the suitor/ condition of the great Metropolitan Schools is such as to call urgently for the change. Bet in cases I;ke those of St. Paul's sod Merchant Taylors', where the day boys form the great bulk of the scholars, other con siderations of great importance arise. It has been of late too much the fashion in certain quarters to overlook the interests of that very meritorious and, in spite of the centrifugal tendencies of the age, still very numerous class who are compelled to make London their habitual residence. Struggling pro fessional men, with small incomes and large families; tradesmen who have not yet realised sufficient fortune to afford a residence in the suburbs; have a direct in terest in the maintenance, with:o an easy reach of they own residences, of Schools where they may obtain for their sons the inestimable advantages of a first-slaw education. The cue of parents of this class has not been unrepresented in the columns of our contemporary. The money part of the question has been well put by more than one of the correspon dents whose letters have been very properly ad mitted into the Times. One of these gentlemen de scribes himself as the son of a professional man in the City, who was enabled to give five boys oat of family of nine • sound classical education at Mer chant Taylors' School ; an advantage which he would have bees sompelled to forego, had no school of the kind existed within an easy distance from his home. To afford to keep two or three boys se boarders at a public school, at the present Eton and Harrow rate of 1301. or 2001, a year, is obviously and hopelessly beyond the means of the London medical man, the lawyer, or the tradesman, who has to face the struggle of :ife on an income of from 6001. to 8001. a year. There is very much to be said in favour of the view taken by the Times corre spondent to whom reference ►as been made, viz., "that the Public Schools in London were founded " for the families of people living in London, and * who cannot afford payments by hundreds a year " for the education of their children." There is another point : to many parents it is, not without reason, a great object to have the opportunity of com bining the advantages of school and home training, which the day-scholar enjoys and the boarder loses. Why should the London parent be deprived of this advantage by the removal into the country of such schools as St. Paul's and Merchant Taylors'? We are not, of course, arguing against such a re moval of site es may yet leave the institutions in question accessible as day schools for the benefit of the very numerous elms to which we now allude—a clam entitled more than most others to respect and sympathy, and which has already sufficient difficulties to encounter, without having to undergo the privation of any means it may now sudsy of procuring for its children the iiestimable benefits of a first-rate education for a very moderate outlay. If mita* mon convenient and healthy than those now occupied by Charter Mouse, St. Paul's, and Merchant Taylors', can be found in the immediate visinity of the metropolis—the increased expense attending a short railway transit to and from the school might probably be cheaply purchased by in creased salubrity of situation, and the advantage of as ample playground. We say probably, because it is by no ssae•s certain that the daily necessity of even a short railway transit might not to some extent be a drawback even In a sanitary pointer view. After all. may it net be doubted whether the sanitary •rgumout has sot been premed with some degree of draggers don against the Metropolitan Schools ? Take, for ;n -stance, one of the strongest ergot, Christ's ticepital- There is much, no doubt, to offend those who take the sentisaental view of the ease in each • site as this. It is in the very oentre of the cl , n, and the dirt, and the mobs. Newgate-market is in its borders. Noisome trades of all kinds are curial on in its vicinity. • Fuliginoos, amino= Louden smoulders and reeks for miles all sound it. Very shocking to sentiment—but what are the facts? Is it a fact that Christ Church boys are exceptionally en. healthy ? Are they more so, for instance, duet Rugby or Harrow boys? Statistics don't show that they are ; and as to appearances, very few of those who are acquainted with the looks of bath sets of boys would give it in favour of the Harnn:sp, for instance, as against the Blaecoats. The fact is there has been of late too great a tendency to speak of London, and an habitual resi dence there, with a sort of compassionate de spondency. The great City has been represented as a great office or workshop, in which none who an help it will stay a moment after brainless hours. In the name of some million and a half of compulsory residents, we beg t 3 protest. against this ten dency. London--as hard facts and fige-es con clusively prove—is not now an unhealthy place of residence. As compared with the other great capitals of modern Europe, it stands highest in the sanitary scale. As compared with what it was in former times—in the times when Dean CoLm2 and Sir TEIONAS Wane founded their magnificent en dowments—it is a very model of salubrity. What* would a modern member of the Boerd of Health have said to the purlieus of St. Paul's and Suffolk lane as they existed before the days of the great plague and the great fire ? We have made nit im provements already; these is no doubt room for vast improvements still. But the true way to accelerate and ensure these improvements is, not to represent the sanitary prospects of London as hopeless—so hopeless that those who are compelled to reside within her precincts can no longer be permitted to enjoy the educational advantages which the munifi cence of former times provided for them. The fact is, here we are, some million and a half of us, and here w e must remain. Don't let us sacrifice to a sentiment one of the most solid advantages wb:ch a residence in London possesses for that struggling class who, though unable to educate the- children expensively, are yet laudably anxious to educate them well. The rapidly increasing influence of the aristocracy of wealth is in nothing shown more offersively and more ink.-lonely than in the rapidly increasing =diner of education. The ages of the TUDOR/ and the SMITS had many drawbacks, but they were free from this. " The tools to him that can handle " them " was a maeM practically recognised in the educational institutions of those times. To put the means of rising within the reach of the poor—by putting the means of obtaioing a lest ned culture within the reach of the poor—was a social duty far more sedulously cared for in the England of the six. teenth and seventeenth centuries than in the England of the nineteenth. Playground associations—the cricket field— the foot-ball ground—the rowing match on the waters of untainted strearr--the noon_ day rambles under the shads of immemorial elms— are each and 01 of them admirable things. Un. luckily, as matters now stand, they are !ovaries only porchassable at the cost of some 2001. a year— they are luxuries therefore for the rich. But bemuse that poorest of all poor men—the middle-class Lon doner, who on slender means has a family to educate and a position to maintain—because he is compelled to renounce for b's boy the splendid advantages of Eton and Harrow—is he therefore to be additionally deprived of that career, which the munificence of those who founded our Metropolitan Public Schools has opened to struggling talent ? Such a priva tion is on every account to be deprecated; it would deprive • metropolis, which as a place of residence has not too many attractions, of one of its most solid advantages, and it would increase what has gone too far already, the monopoly by the moneyed classes of the higher education of the country. Any improvement in the site of our Metropolitan Schools which would still leave them easily accessible to metropolitan day scholars, it would be unreasonable to oppose; but any scheme for making additional Etons or Harrows of them—rural receptacles for rich boarders—ought strenuously to be resisted. If the rich want more Public Schools in the provinces let them, after the examples of former times, devote a portion of their surplus opulence to the purpose of founding them ; but do not let them seek t 3 deprive the middle-class Londoner of that invaluable solace to a straggling existence which has been provided for him by the munificence of Corm, Burrox, and WHITE.

(r ox or owx PARIS, MONDAY EYINTNO. It is, I believe, beyond doubt that negotiations have lately ben set on foot for establishing a better understanding between Russia and Austria. The mediators are the Grand Duke of Hose (whose wife is the sister of the Czar) and M. de Badberg. Whether, however, as a German journal pretends, the two Emperors will pieet at Vienna in Septem ber, is, I think, more than donbtfal ; the programme lately published of the Czar's tour makes no mention of Vienna. These rumours are not without impor tance, because, u I can state on sure grounds, the progress of the efforts making to bring the two Emperors together is watched in official circles here with intense curiosity, not to say anxiety. The Bonne has been very Arm. The Bente opened at Saturday's prices, and rose to 89fr. 76c. both for cash and account, with a rise of 25c. and 15e. Mobilier rose 23fr. 76c.

The news of Marshal Bandon's resignation of his post of Governor of Algiers, which I mentioned ten days ago, is confirmed by the Akhbar of Algiers. There are still reports of difficulties (tiraillements) in the ministries of war and marine, consequent upon the powers c3nferred upon Prince Napoleon, and more resignations have been tendered, although, perhaps, not accepted. It is seriously said that the Duke of Malakoff is about to be married, not to an English, but t 3 a Spanish heiress. The lady's name is Dons Sofia Valera ; she is the sister of the Marquis de It Pa niega, a Spanish nobleman who lives in Paris, and is in some way or other related to the Empress. It is even said that the departure for Spain of the Empress's mother, the Countess de Montijo, is de layed on account of this marriage. Rear-Admiral Fabvre, a distinguished officer, has been appointed Maritime Prefect of Cherbourg, in the place of Rear-Admiral Gourdon, promoted to the rank of Vioe-Adiriral. It is rumoured that the French wand to be esta blished at Tien Slog has already been selected. M. de Montigny, now French consul at Shanghai, is the name spoken of. . . The Irukpetad once states that a "petitioning " on a grand Kale has been " organised" ;n Britt-ny, praying the Emperor to confer the title of Duke of Brittany upon the Imperial Prime. If this news be true, it must be already certain that the heir appa rent to the throne of the Napoleons will beer that title, because no popular organisation can be effected without orders from the central authority. At an Italian restaurant in the Prongs des Pano ramu there are four waiters, all eons of the landlord, whose respective Christian names are Napoleon, Omar, Alexander, and Leon. Many people dine there for the• fan of being able to cry out, to the astonishment of casual customers, "Napoleon, where is my tagliarini ?" " Cesar, get me a flask of Montepulciano." A painful scene occurred two or three days ago at the Cirque in the Champs Elystes. Count de Grammont Caderousse and the Count de la Room, an aide-de-camp of the King of Sardinia, who have for some time been rivals for the favours of a lady, came to blows in the theatre. • Au e•rangement for a duel natr—ally followed, whlch, however, may perhaps be prevented by the publication given to the affair. Mr. Lindsay, M.P., has become so celebrated France by his speech about Cherboe-g, that arrival in Paris on a vacation trip annonnoed in the jou , rel. PRUSSIA. STETTIN, AVOIIST The so-called " Criminal Senate" of the Court of Appeals in this city has just given judgment in the ease of the seven Danish captains accused of in fringing the Prussian laws relative to the coasting trade, by bringing cargoes of grain from Dantric to this town. It will be remembered that, about a month ago, the Ordinary Tribunal acquitted the captains in the first instance, and that the State Procurator protested against the decision, and sub mitted the case to the Court of Appeals. The latter has now reversed the judgment pronounced by the inferior Court, sentences the ships and their cargoes to confiscation to the Crown, and orders the Danish owners to pay the costs both of the original trial and that of the Court of Appeals. The unfortunate defendants have resolved to take no further legal proceedings, bat to petition the Prussian Govern ment to let them off. It is, however, generally expected that the Danish government will take the matter in band, and press the Amadeu government for a reversal of the decree in the usual diplomatic manner. RUSSIA.
