SPORTING INTRLLIG RNCR. 4 SPECIAL KD!TION at the ' EXPRESS; eentainiag the results of the day's Races, is pub. liahed every evening daring the Sporting Seam, at sia o'clock. LORD 817.ATPOZD DZ RADCLITII has been making a very able and interesting speech at Smyrna, on the occasion of laying the foundation stone of the Smyrna and Aidie Railway Terminus. So much misapprehension has of late prevailed, and such random assertions have been hazarded on the policy of our late Ambassador at the Porte, that it is on all grounds desirable to have an authoritative statement of his views on the Eastern Quer tion in the present phase of its develop. went. Before considering the address itaelt it may be as well to say a word or two all to the enterprise in connexion with which it was delivered. The Smyrna and Aidin Railway, when completed, will be about 70 miles in length. It is divided into three portions: the first runs from Smyrna to the mountains which separate the classic valleys of the Kayster and the Meander ; then comes the tunnel through this mountain mass; the rest of the line ascends the valley of the Meander to Aidin. A vast traffic, principally in fruit and tobacco, is carried on between Aidin and Smyrna. In the busy months no, leas than 8,000 camels ernes daily at the port from the interior. This mode of transit is at present very costly. To transport a ton of tobacco from Aidin to the coast now oasts about 4s.—when the railway is at work it can be carried for 4d. The expense of con- structing the line is calculated to be from 10,0001. to 12,0001. a mile. The Oriental navvies work with • will; they've of all tribes, nations, and languages; and about 2,400 are constantly at work on different parted the lies. Saab is the work which Lord STZAI6 YOZD DI R•Dcune was called on to inaugurate. There can be no necessity to dwell as these por tions of his Lordship's address devoted to the MOM general and obvious considerations arising out of the nature of such an enterprise as this. Its probable effect on the social and political future of the Turkish dominions is more Important. If Turkey is to be regenerated at all, it must be by works like these ; if European capital can in any shape benefit the Goverment of the SCLTAN, it MUSS be when applied to the derelernent of industrial enterprise generally, hot more especially to new lines of inland eamnranisaties. It le not only the direct influence emit nadartakinge in promoting the production of material wealth that is so valuable; their indirect beerings as the whole social system an in the highest degree benallsial. Such works, se Lord STILAITORD truly says, can hardly be car ried out "without essameasurate improvements "in all the leading branches of Turkish ed." ministration—without a progressive diminution of " abuses, prejudices, and national animosities—with " out a signal advancement in the ideas and Dom " forte of the whole population. The property t►us " created would call for securities in matters of police, " of bonne*, and of the admioistration of justice." The justness of three observations will commend them to all unprejudiced thinkers, even apart from the authority they may dekve from the profound sad intimate knowledge possessed by the speaker of the subject with which he wee dealing. From them views the transition was easy to more general specu lations= the political present and future of the Turkish Empire; and it is this portion of Lord STRATFORD'S address which at the present moment is more peculiarly calculated to excite the attention of Europe. The veteran diplomatist speaks plainly sad frankly. He does not attempt to ignore the feeble ness and the fatuity, the calamities and the blunder s ' which still retard, and have so long retarded, the development of Turkish prosperity ; but he is deeply convinced and firmly maintains that the elements of that prosperity exist in abundance. "No one," he affirms, " can dispute the richness of the resources " of Turkey—those neglected elements of power " which its wide circumference embraces, and which " only require to be explored in order to supply its " wants and secure its independence." Lord STRATFORD strongly, nay, vehemently, deprecates the tone of despondency and disparagement that has of late been too common in many quarters in connexion with the future of Turkey. To indulge in idle lamentation and impatient abuse is not the statesmanlike mode of dealing with the Turkish difficulty. That difficulty mist be met and dealt with by active deeds, not by desponding words. It is a difficulty, and a great one. But England is too deeply interested in the regeneration of Turkey to succumb to a mere setae of the difficulty of its seeomplishment. It Western civilisation is not introduced into Turkey by peaceful means, it will mese in with the strong hand. That which Europe has spent so much blood and treasure in seeking to avert, will be accomplahod ; and in stead of a peaceable solution of the " Eastern "question," we shall have the deice and internecine struggle to, its partition. "It is dna," says Lord STRATFOID in weighty words, which will Bnd their way to the convictions of dispassionate men--" it is " due to las honour and welfare of Europe that " promises solemnly promulgated and recorded in " formal treaties should not remain a dead letter— " that the treasure and blood expended in her name l• for the vindication ofTurki,h rights should not be an " idle escrifice, and that the declared admission of Tar- THE EXPRESS, WEDNESDAY EVENING, NOVEMBER 17, 1858. " kry Into the great European family should be fel " by Ike Ottoman Gorernment to be a reality in it . ... " obligations am well as in its INIVIA1" STRATFORD is right. Unless we are pig! to aid the development of Turkish resources let th progress of Turkish regeneration.. the ood treasure of the Crimean war wig. as as a kke di and avowed object of the great struggle is doneerned have been lavished in vain. If we are to despond of Turkey bemuse its progress is tardy and its institu tions are defective I because there is weakness at the entre and abuses everywhere—then, indeed, were we guilty of the grossest of errors in making the in tegrity of Turkey the ground and pretext of a great Borepaan war. There are only two courses to pur ses : we must either persevere in our policy of giving every support in our power to reforms in Turkish administration and to the development of industrial enterprises in Turkish soil, et w e must take into account the probability of having to settle by arms the question, who is to be master of the Turkish shores of the Mediterranean. Unless we make it our chief aim to strengthen the Government of Turkey and civilise the people, and so render the Empire in some degree capable of holding its place among the nations of Europe, the questions placed before Sir HAMILTON Baritone by Ntcaotois I. must at no very distant period be solved, and this is an even- tnality always present to the rulers of Russia and France, and which it is the main aim of their policy , towards Turkey to beaten. As to Russia, her designs have been proclaimed too openly to admit of any question, or even any attempt at disguise. Those of France ap pear in a very different style, and under cover of elaborate professions towards the SULTAN. One advantage which we derive from the muzzled pressor ear neighbours is that it necessarily presents as a mass those views of policy only which are in ac arduous with the wishes of the Government. Now the desirability of doing away with the existing Turkish Empire is one of the favourite topics of the journalists of Fracas, and they are never tired of demonstrating the impossibility of its regeneration in the hands of its present rulers, and of contrasting it with the condition of Algeria under French rule, and of Egypt, where French counsels are dominant. At the same time, there is a lavishness of sympathy exhibited towards Russia, especially as regards her policy in the Southern waters, which is equally sig nificant. Count MONTALIMBEIT ls to be pro secuted for avowing his liking for England and Eng lish institutions, but the dismemberment of Turkey may be canvassed with the utmost freedom, not withstanding the recent date of the Treaty of Paris, and the authors of the most ardent expositions of the scheme an mean from any risk of being questioned on the matter. It may be as well to state plainly that England will not quietly tolerate the eaavenien of the Mediterranean into a French lake, nor see the most valuable provinces of Turkey placed directly or indirectly tinder French and Russian dominion.

DAIMON, Hunow, Deputy ter Lyons. November 12, 1858 This manifesto is especially remarkable u being an appeal to the Orleanists, who are numerous in the department, to coalesce with the men whom names savour of republicanism.

Lord and Lady Palmerston and Lord and Lady Clarendon, are now at Compiegne. Queen Christina has been there since the 14th.

Variodi Atratmstances tended to make the highly interesting and the attendance of the ... . ... laity as well sa the clergy wall most numerous. As early as half-past ten o'clock a great number of the congregation had arrived, and from that hour down to the commencement of the service, incessant streams of clergymen, churchwardens, and parochial officials poured into the apace beneath the douse which hat been set apart and fitted up for th e forthcoming Sunday evening machines. The nature of these preparations has been explained in our co lumns from time to time, and it is gratifying now to add that experience has thoroughly established their efficiency. It was a noble sight to me the vent space occu pied by a devout assemblage. All the chairs were tenanted, and every one was seated without expedient% any incon venience from crowding or from the abillipme of the atmosphere. Shortly before 12 o'clock, the Bishop who had previously been personally introduced to the great mejorify of his clergy who were present, entered the area of the do= heading a permeable& of the members of the Chapter, and took up his position on a temporary throne erected for the day. The preliminary service consisted of the Litany and the Lessons for the day, scoomlanied with anthems, which swelled majestically through the cathedral. The re sponses were joined in by all present in a most em phatic manner. 'Hie Lordship's charge, which is very voluminous, occupied the greater part of the afternoon. It was delivered in clear motets and in • voice which must have been audible to all who were meembled. His Loansitte commencte.i his thugs with an allu sion to the fact that the day was the 300th anal- Twisty of the accession of Queen Elizabeth, and by referring in touching language to the character and career of his predecessor. He then offered some remarks upon a list of queries which he had sent to army one in holy orders within Die diocese. One of the questions relited to the remuneration of the clergy, and his lordship here ex pressed his belief that means might be foetid to provide in the metropolis some palliation at least for oars of individaal hardship by the right use of the surplus funds of suppressed cathedral dignities, which nos= sots of parliament have devoted to paro chi al purposes. He would urge on the It 0CC441011, the wisdom of the reocentneettatioo made by two select committees of the Homed Lords last whereby ecclesiastical property IA the hands of the Bookocks tical Comothaioners, arising hom land or houses in this metropolis, was declared to bo justly applicable to the spiritual wants of the metropolis Wolf, beMre it is thrown into say common fund to bediatributed insealldolesthrough out the kingdoen. Speaking of church.ratee, his lordship said, " The Government =MUM 1s as yet unknown. No one can say what is likely to be the result of the fresh dimensions which must soon arise on this vexed question. For myself, once for all, I sand repeat what I have elsewhere main tained, that I know no argument which has been adduced which proves that there is any injustice in men being liable to a ex impend for the maintenaaceof a great public Institu tion, even if they do not themselves approve of that Meth tithe and I see, certainly, no greater hardship In dissenters and Roman Catholics contributing to the maintenance of our church.,, than in our paying our proportion of the taxes which are charged with the maintenance of Maynooth—or, to take • more appropriate case, to the great Episcopalian landowners of Scotlaad being bound to maintain the estab lished Presbyterian worship. Men, however, have irritated themselves into the belief that they have a grievance in church-rates, and it is politic, it is Christian, folly to clothier their feelings. Moreover, I suppose it Is granted that, whatever may be said of the justice of the pew= church-rate, it has great inconve niences, and therefore we are quite ready for any good alteration of it which can be suggested ; and we with the alteration to be made in the most conciliatory spirit towards those who are not members of our church. How far them alteration' may with safety be carried, the vomment, we ars led to believe, is now . Rein supposing that the attentions were to go very fir, I should feel no fear myself that the churches of this peat and wrathy metropolis would be allowed to 411 in rains, or the seemly dignity of their =rice be cur tailed, because we were thrown more =reservedly on the hearty loyalty of that great mass of persons who love the time-boomed leetkutiene of our church, hem= they feel it has brought raspy blessings on their own end their fatten' Willi. I cannotsey, however, that I should be equally free from alarm in remote or very poor places. Indeed, as Item already stated, I cannot look pen thlsotherwhe than • poor man's ques tion. The parish church ought to be everywhere, and, thank God, still Is in many parishes, and always in the country, the inheritance of the poor. It Is their right to have It maintained for their use, not merely by the veluntary exer tions of those who are charitably disposed to aid them, but by some provision of the law. And I do most earnestly trust that whatever settlement is devised, nothing will be dome to "acrid.* the rights and feelings of the great majority of the people, both rich and poor, In order to satisfy the aa reasossble demands of a politically influential few.

The protest state of this question is, I great, • very anxious one ; but still, my revere= brethren, let us not exaggerate the difficulties before us. To my mind, the one great lama which all these inquiries into secular matters connected with our church forces upon as is this—that the days are gone by when the church of England can look to be propped up by the adventitious aid of secular autho rity, If It be not true to Itself, and to its heavenly Harter, and to the souls He has committed to It ; and yet that it is not therefore lass prosperous and strong." His lordship then offered various practical hints respecting the training of the clergy, and the degree of ritual obser vance which is justifiable In the Church. The latter we, in his judgment carried to an extreme t` in all eases in which men a minds ere led to dwell on such thing* rather than on those spirituel effsaloce that revealed theological truths and sound practical principles which are the seed= a the Gospel, these thins ad at the bed bat in helps."

Although the official returns of the elections for the metropolitan districts have not yet been made up, yet it is well known that the ministerial candi dates have everywhere triumphed. The elections went off without any breach of the pesos or other accident, and without any great expression of party feeling. These, however, are only the preliminary elec tions ; for, by the cumbrous machinery in force at present, every Prussian citizen of age, and in the enjoyment of his civil rights, is entitled to vote for the WaAlmanner, or immediate electors, and these have to elect the representatives for their district in the Lower House. It is difficult to understand what advaotage is gained by this double system of mediate and immediate voting, whilst its disadvantages are various and manifest. As a specimen of the working of the present law I may mention that Berlin contains no less than 80,000 electors, who are divided into three classes : the first class, containing the highest rated tax payers, whore taxes amount to one-third of the whole sum paid by Berlin, number less than 6,000; the second class, consisting of those who pay lees taxes, but on the aggregate make up also one-third of the whole, amount to 20,000. This class includes the respectable householders, shopkeepers, and small manufacturers. The third class numbers no lem than 65,000 voters, including the artisans and work ing men of this metropolis. They pay collectively one•third of the aggregate amount of taxes, and are the lowest rated ; whilst the greater part of them are proletarians, and pay no taxes at all. For these preliminary eke lions the city is divided into 175 sub-districts, and the number of immediate 'electors they have returned amounts to 1,629. These latter will, on the 23rd inst., have to elect the members for the metro polio for the Lower House. It is true that this very defective doable system was framed in the turbulent period of 1848, and principally in order to keep out of the legislature the Red Republicans and extreme democrats. But surely now that this bugbear happily no longer exists, it is time to think of abolishing this cumbrous elective machinery, and Ireplacing it by another more in accordance with the spirit of the age in general, and the progress Prussia has since m ad e in experience of oonstitutioaal self government in particular. The Princess of Prussia, who is still residing at Coblentz, will to-morrow perform the ceremony of opening the railroad just completed between Cologne and Coblentz. She will erne* in this city to be present at the court reception to be held on the 21st inst., in celebration of the birthday of her daughter in-law, the Princess Frederick William. It is stated in well-informed circles that his Highnem the Prime Minister will continue to held the important military COMIIIIII4 of the Seventh Army Corps, from which it is presumed he will re move his residence to Dtisseldorf, and having so successfully inaugurated the new cabinet, himself only remain its nominal hied.

Authorities were then quoted illustra , ing th e • treatment of this subject at other periods in the history of the church. The following are portions of PG, lordship's observations upon this branch of hie charge " What I do utterly disapprove of, and what I feel eon, strained most strongly to protest against, is something ' NT different from the common pastoral Intercourse whi*, Is Indicated in the three passages of the payer-book I have cited, and which the church always must uphold.

And If it no chance that the person thus brought under his influence be a female, and the questions which he asks perhaps with the beet intentions, bat, under such circucestanam, with the most deplorable want of sound discretion include minute inquiries into sins of impurity, he cannot be ennead if his conduct is condemned as beingfag great scandal on the church.

Depend upon it, real filth in the Leed Jesus Christ, sun se the church at - England holds to be the effeeinel muse of the sours salvation, is not strengthened by *aching oar people thus to lean upon the unauthorised mediation of man. And let me say plainly, also, to any who may be engaged in the attempt to introdum such • system amegst us, that I rejoice to have a full conviction ' that they are Isbourlog in a hopeless task. The over. wheiming majority of our pious and intelligent clz te le i whichsoever of eer acknowledged schools of th siatiment they belong, me well as of our batty, is deter mined to resist it.

Amongst the succeeding topics of the charge wen the Exeter Hall services. His lordship expresses his regret that the incumbent ef the parish had taken such • mistaken view of his reponsibilities as to oppose those services. The step • hes best takes of recommescing those services.

His lordship, after alluding firths Westminster-abbeyeervlcea, exprt toted his fervent hope for the success of the rut effort which they were In some sort Inaugurating that day—namely, the use of the spas beneath the dome of the cathedral on Sunday evenings. "The old historical associations of the preaching, el Paul's-cross are to be transferred to this spot," ask his lordship " God grant that wisdom may be gives me to seleot at preschere that the hearts of the people may be sated to avail themselves of these noble opportunities, sad the result may bee great outpouring of His grace."

The question arises—What shall be done with these Provided no building which is architecturally beau tiful, or miserable from Its associations, be removed, I see not why the churches, where not needed, may not be graduelly taken down as they cease to be used: Having referred to various forms of Cher - dee effort to which the clew should lend their aide his lordship in coachmen remarked, that the princifieeb• had laid down were as important for the laity as the clergy.
