Robinson, Fag. our worthy Mayor • about four o'clock in the afternoon, accompanied by his Worship, Sir John Tobin, and other gentlemen, the Right Hon. Gentleman, who seems in the enjoyment •tif vigorous health, appeared on 'Change • he was, on entering the Exchange news-room, immediately cur rounded by a crowd of gentlemen, who honoured him with a most cordial welcome, which must have been ex tremely gratifying to his feelings. Mr. Huskisson then addressed the assembly in the following terms : " Gessamszo,—Allow me to offer you my most cordial and grateful thanks for this very kind and flattering reception. The be• near of being thus noticed and distinguished by you, at this time, is to me the more gratifying from being unexpected—unexpected, be .cause my present visit to my friends at Liverpool 'soot on any pub lic occasion, or with reference to any public event ; neither am I here in any public character. lam here not to solicit further fa• yours, but to make my personal acknowledgments (too tardily. per. • haps) for those which I have already received at your hands. I am here as a private individual, a Member of Parliament—one of your Members, it is true, and, as suchustly proud of the high be. tour of representing this great a nd enlightened community— as such solicitously courting, as it bas at all times been my duty and inclination to do. the most extensive and unreserved later. course with my constituents upon all matters of public interest, more especially those by which your useful occupations and honourable pursuits are interwoven and identified with the general concerns and welfare of this great country. In this my individual capacity, I am ready, Gentlemen, to obey your commands upon all points of local interest. I am anx ious to receive from yew suggestions upon those of a mere general nature. The latter shall be considered by me with the most careful attention, and with the most studious desire to forward the views and wishes upon which they may be founded. I have beard, with great concern, that the present period is one in which the business carried on within these walls is rather to be marked by the extent of the transactions than by the amount of profit which they afford. I regret this state of things. I hope, and believe, that it will not be of long derides; hot whilst it exists, it affords an additional reason for my seeking among you any information which your practical knowledge and experience may enable you to afford, with a view to such relief (if any there be within the reach of Parliament) as may tend to mitigate the pressure, or to abridge the term, of the diSculties under which the industry and commerce of she matey now labosr." This speech, which was applauded throughout, was followed by loud cheers. We saw several persons who did not job in the cheering; but we did not hear them utter any audible sounds of disapprobation against Mr. Huskisson. Two gentleman, who steed .near us, seemed desirous of getting up " three cheers for the ship ping interest," la answer to those raised in favour of the Right Honourable Gentleman - but as neither had the courage to pro pose the cry, the whole passed over quietly. From the Exchange newsroom Mr. Hasidism ascended to the Underwriters' room, where his reception was as flattering as it had been in the lower room. He addressed the gentlemen pre sent, briefly recapitulating the remarks which be bad made in the Exchange news-roost " One cheer more" was then proposed and given, the Right Hen. Gentleman appearing highly delighted with the reception which be bad received from the merchants of Liverpool. Whilst passing through the lower room, after be bad been up stairs, three or four persons made an attempt to hiss our distinguished Representative. Mr. Huskisson returned to the Town-ball, accompanied by the Mayor and a number of gentlemen. A Hebrew failure of some consequence has taken place at Vienna : be was a great speculator in the funds there. The Courrier Francais last published says : " The losd,on Courier announced that M. de la FERRONAIYS MI to take the place of M. de Pomo 'roc, as Ambassador in London." This piece of news is not likely. M. de la FERRONAIYS is gone to seek for health under the clear sky of Italy. He could not live in the foggy atmosphere of London. It is said, and with more likelihood, that the post will be given to the Duke MONTMORENCY. An article from Servia, says, that " it is observed the beard of the SULTAN is already considerably shortened" —.supposed to be in compliment to Mr. GORDON, whom he admires very much ; adding—" it is well known that he cuts his beard himself from time to time—his courtiers following his example ; and there is no doubt that his flicixxss will soon lay it aside altogether !!!" We trust the hullertene•.• of this pie of news will be duly esti mated by the British public. COVENT-CARDEN THEATRE. A Meeting of the Creditors and Shareholders of this Establishment was held yesterday in the Saloon of the Theatre, for the purpose Of resnivine the Report of the Committee appointed at the former &Indus to adopt such sepses may seem most proper Wassails a liquidation of the debts of the Theatre, and, if possible, to arrange the existing disputes among the Proprietors. Mr. Maas took the Chair, and explained the objects of the Meeting Mr. Joints= read the Resolution passed at the last Meeting. and thou rend the Report of the Committee above referred to. It stated that the esdeavoitn of the Committee to effect an arrangement with the proprietors of the theatre for the liquidation of the debts had been fruitless, and they bad in consequence deemed it their duty to consider whether any plan could be adopted whichwould be not only productive of a fund towards the payment of the debts, but would preserve the value of the theatre until a sale of it can be effected ; and they suggested, that considering the various interests which would be affected by the Theatre being closed, it is retomnsended that the Theatre shall be opened, during the ensuing season, under a competent Manager, and a person appointed to receive the nightly Masse, &c. that the parties in portession of the Theatre shall supply the necessary funds, &c. that the proposed measures shall not prejudice the interests of either of the proprietors under the agreemeet entered Into la March. Inn, between Mr. Harris and Messrs. Kemble, Willet and Forbes. A bag correspondence was attached to the Report, from which it appeared that Mr. Harris was not disposed to treat with Messrs. Kenabk, Willet. and Forbes, unless they paid the debts contracted since 1122, and was desirous of waiting the issue of the application to the House of Lords, to be nude next Session, on the subject of the affairs in the Court of Chancery. The Csatuust said that from the documents just read it would be seen that every exertion had been made by the Committee to promote the objects for which they were appointed. He sincerely regretted that these exertions had failed, and, under the circumstances, he feared the Theatre could not be opened In the approaching season, which would be a serious injury to the numerous parties interested in it ; and he could not but consi der, that if the Theatre was not opened, it would be a public ca lamity—so many persons depending for their sustenance upon . the establishment. The differences between the Proprietors un fortunately were such, that be feared they could not be speedily arranged. Messrs. Kemble, Willet, and Forbes, were, be was assured. most anxious to do all they could in order that the theatre should be opened at the regular time, and he was not disposed to question the motives which influenced the minds of Mr. Coast or Mr. Harris in not coming to an arrangement. They no doubt felt justified in pursuing the course they bad marked out. The Coastinge having failed In the object for which they were formed, it now became the duty of the shareholders and creditors to adapt suck measures as might see* must advisable under the circums stems._ Ur. lA:swam, who attended as Solicitor for Messrs. Kesable, Willer, and Forbes, deprecated personal allusions, and should make no observations on the correspondence just read.— On the pert of his clients he had to state, that they were ready to made to the suggestions of the Lord Chancellor, that the question at issue between the proprietors should be referred to some Gentleman of the Bar, who would decide what was the course to be pursued relative to such disputes, by which the in terests Guth. creditors and shareholders might be advanced. Mr. Lowden read a letter from Mr. Charles Ramble, who expressed a willingness to undertake the'herculean task of managing the Thea ere, provided be were secured from molestation on the part of ere dicers or shareholders. His (Mr. Lowden's) clients were ready to listen to any suggestions for the benefit of the creditors. The COWMAN, in reply to a question, said the old debt, created previously to March, 1522, unpaid, was about 45,0001. and the new debt, or that created since 1842, about 35,0001. A Snaamtmosa asked what was the nature of t h e recom speeded/so of the Lord Chancellor? Mr. Lowssx repeated what he had stated relative to a reference, sod said by such a proceeding the Theatre would be put in a state to sell to advantage. Such a step would prevent the suicidal death of this qpisodid establishment, which would, unless some prompt measures were adopted, be left with bare wails by the ponies now in possession for tams, and would be handri over to the Duke of Bedford fee rent. Mr. Wanes adverted to a paper circulated in the room. He thought if the affairs of the Theatre were longer to be subjected to the strewn of law suits, the creditors and shareholders would in vain look for the settlement of their claims. Some conversation arose on the paper referred to by Mr. Wince, and it was read ; it was signed" HENRY Hamm,' and entered into a lengthened detail of his (Mr. H.'s) connection with the Theatre, and denied most positively that he was liable to any of what were styled the new debts of the Theatre, and was deter mined to decline interfering in the Theatre in any manner Incas. *tent with his situation as landlord and lessor under the agree. meat of the 11th March, lira, until the term of the lease has ix- Fired, or the appeal beard in the House of Lords. A loon conversation ensued so the subject of a reference, and all the ponies feared the havoc that would be committed in the event Oa distraint for taxes, etc. Ultimately, Mr. Waite* proposed a Resolution to the effect, that the mg gesden of the Lord Chancellor with respect to a reference should be adopted. Mr. Baartsr, of the Theatre, thought the Resolution pro- posed was the most proper way of proceeding. If the moveable property of the Theatre were seised and sold, be questioned whether the taxes would be paid with the proceeds. The pro fessimal Gentlemen connected with the Theatre were ready to make sacrifices, and would give up at the rate of 17 per cent.— He did net look on the affairs of the Theatre in so despooding a way. last season was a bad one ; but it did not fellow that neat year there would not be a change for the better. He was ready to advance 4200 towards a reserve fund, to meet the expenditure of nest season; for U the Theatre were not opened on the Ist of Oc tober, be bed no hesitation in saying that the interests of the Theatre would be vitally injured. The performers were ready to make sacrifices to prevent the calamities which would be the resuk of the Theatre remaining closed. Some conversation aroma on the subject of the executions to the Theatre. Mr. Comm, the Vestry Clerk of St. Paul's. stated his opinion, that in the event of the amount for which the executions were placed in the Theatre being secured, those whom he represented would wait till affairs were arranged. The Resolutions were then passed. and the Meeting adjourned. Yesterday the Recorder made his Report to his Ma jesty at Windsor of the prisoners capitally convicted at the last Old Bailey Sessions, vis. :—Juseph Henderson, 24, sheep-stealing ; John Sullivan, 19, stealing in a dwelling-house ; and Thomas Senn den, 25, Edward Smith, So, William Grainger, 20, Edward Spen cer, 20, Thomas Davis, 24, Ann Creamer, 40, and James Brown, alias King, 22, housebreaking; all et wham his Majesty was gra ciously pleased to respite during his Royal pleasure, except James Brown, alias King, who is left for execution on Monday next. — The ease of John Tuley, alias Joseph Harris, is postponed for fu ture consideradon.

THE TURKS AND RUSSIANS. Without going into the voluminous questions of Turkish Government, Turkish Flnances,Tutkish Ileligion,Turklidt Power, Arts, Sciences, Commerce, general Manners, Provinces, olr Pcipulition (of all which you shall be informed in due time), the present paper will be confined, as fu as relates to the Turks, tolls, Military Force of their Empire. In introducing this subject to the notice of the reader, it is unnecessary to state that the pre sent condition of the Turks is only a semblance of their fernier greatness. AU that need be stated on this particular part of the subject is. that to Sultan Assuertn I. is owing the rise of a per manent military among the Turks :—he it was, who, after *Vend ing the sphere of his conquests from the HeUespeot to the Danube. formed the more politic project of preserving his Empire by a body of militia, accustomed to discipline, and attached, by peculiar pri vileges, to hi. melee. This was its the year . 1365. From that time till the present, the Turkish force underwent but little improve ment ; and of late years—particularly since the destruction of the Jannisaries.—the Turks are not so well organised as they were in the dsys of ANURA/il, and Sousse), the 11. who died in Septem ber, 1566. But nut to occupy too much time, it is best to pro ceed to their force at once. In 1818—and they have trot improved much since—the forces of the Turks were as follow. English term. art adopted, that there can be na misunderstanding : Men. 1. Jannisaries. 2. Artillery Men. 13,000 3. Bombardiers ll,OOO 4. Guards of the Palace. 12,000 5.

IOO,OLO The personal Guard of the Sultan —12,000 The Guard of the Grand Vizier.. 20,000 Leaving to take t►e field .. 1116,400 Any person in the least acquainted with the subject which is now laid before you, mast see that this estimate goes the full length of thil Turkish military force. Yet a short time before. and particularly since the date of this estimate, It has been found diffi cult to assemble 100,000 men ; and in 774-a time of great ea tremity—tbe Poare. with its utmost efforts, could only bring Into the field 142540 men. This, then, is the force which the Holy Allies—more particu larly England—depended upon. for preserving the " babosce V peon is Move I" Ere this time, the Holy Allies—more par ticularly England—are convinced of their fatal blunder. Russia has one of the scales of " the balance" upon the stone ; while the other scale, comprehending the powers of Austria, France, sad England, is twisting and wavering in t►e air, like a paper kite.— Hut present politics apart—they must form the deduction from the statistical premises laid down in this paper. And now let us see what the force of Russia has been at the mimeo/anent of the present struggle. This must necessarily be somewhat lengthened ; but k is essential for the purposes of this paper, as well as to open the eyes of the sleepy, winking, temporising parties over whom Russia now begins to sway the rod. The following estimate is makerslie. RUSSIAN FORCE.

You have only to be in formed, in addition, that a very great pan of the Empire has at yet contributed in furnishing troops for the army, so that the number of regular troops may be greatly increased, whenever a still more formidable military establishment may be necessary. Such was the state of Turkey before she was precipitated to her decay.—since which, the exhanstioa incidental to so many years of civil war ; the massacre, es muse, of her choicest troops—the isoisearies ; the loss of her frontier provinces of Moldavia and Wallachia—se valuable an accession to her force ; together with the revolt of Greece, and the wavering zeal of her Asiatic dependents, must have reduced her force to the most wretched ineflicienty,—to say nothing of her unformed commissariat and beggared treasury; while Russia, on t►s other hand, has bees improving both in numbers and iu science since that period.— The Russian troops were perfected in theory as well u in practise during the Boaapartean wars in the west, while her additismal possessions in Poland have added to her heat an army of the finest cavalry in Europe. It is true that Russia requires as immense military to garrison her vast empire ; but her admirable system of militia, her care of the soldiery and their families, her judicious distribution and allotment of land among her troops, all form a tower of internal strength, such as has no example in ate• dery or ancient history. M. —..,..-- THE SULTAN. Mr. Macfarlane, in his clever and interesting volume ea Comtaattoepts, alluding to the tyranny and rapacity of the Selma, says— , I have beard certain persons, w►ose ft= justice and mercy have been somewhat blunted by a long in the Aegean stable, and a famillarity with its sbwlliadans, seek an new or a tustificatiuo for these arbitrary proceedings, in the fact th a t the sufferers are servant+ of Government, and show by their speed/ acquisition of wealth that they must betray their trust. Rut their arpmeots,bad as they are.cannot apply to thecae' of a wealthy Jew. a certain Shapdji. This man had acquired, in trade and in banking transactions, an immense fortune; but he had Dever been in the service of Gownsman, either as Director of the Mint or in any other capacity. At the time he was reposing on his laurels, or his sacks of sequins, and seems to have retired I. a great measure from the dangerous arena ; for nothing in Turkey is so certain a danger as the gaining of money. Of his multi be made the most noble use his generosity to the unfortunate secured him the title of Father of the Poor," and this from the unanimous voice of Constantinople; for, superior to the restricted spirit of his caste, he gave to all, and whether the scatter was Christian, Turk. or Jew. was disregarded by his universal pbilan. threpy. Popular sympathy was strong in favour of such a man ; sad even the tenets of the Koran* (fertile in its inculcations of charity) sanctified and defended hint. But to the eyes of Mahnsond, instead of Shapdys charity coveri .g a multitude of sins. his wealth covered all his virtues! Money was wanted, money must be had ; and hr unrelentingly ordered the murder of the good man and the confis cation of all his property. The ezecutioaer and some &Jambes were dispatched to the Jew's residence; the latter advanced and knocked at the door, which was forthwith opened by the servant. The chiaoushes desired to speak with Shapdji :the servant requested them to enter ; they declined doing so, and said Shapdji must descend to them, as they were_bearen of a message from the Porte. The cha ritable Jew was conhned to his bed ; but be sent down his brother to bear the ho,hiess, or to invite again the messengers to ascend. Tke chisoushes repeated that they must communicate person ally with Shapdji ; that be must come down ; that their busi ness with him would out occupy a minute. The sick man, nothing doubting what awaited hint, rose front his couch. threw on his hernial., and, supported by his brother and a servant. went down to the door. His toot had scarcely touched the threshold. when the eseeutioner, who had hitherto remained concealed. rushed upon him, and, parsing the fatal cord over his nett, strangled him, without giving him time to offer up a prayer to his Goo. Shapdji's brother tell senseless into the rreet. The myrmidons of despotism turned the domestics out of the house, and put the imperial seal on its doors. The immense wealth was presently secured, and conveyed to the haw; and • donation of 100,000 piasters. or about 1,8001. to the victim's bro ther, to keep him from starving, was generously made by the Sul tan. Wbeu 1 was at Constantinople the tragical tale was in every one's mouth, and even Turks grieved for the fall of the good Jew, and regarded this proceeding of the Sultan with horror." THE POST OFFICE ARRANGEMENTS. We have already mentioned the fact of the Postmaster- General having determined to facilitste the delivery of letters in the distant parts of the Metropolis. by means of carriages, in which the postmen are to be conveyed from the Post Office to the verge sit their respective districts, so that the time hitherto occupied in a tedious walk to the scene of their duties, may be avoided. The carriages have been appropriately named Post Office Accelera tors." Four have already been built by Mr. Abbott, on his pre mises in Jockey's fields. Gray's Inn. This Gentleman has under taker► the contract tur building all that may be required ; and judging from the specimens he has produced, there seems to be little doubt that he will afford the most ample satisfaction. Strength, durability, and lightness, seem to have been alike consulted in the construction of these vehicles. *They are calculated to carry at least 14 men in side, and two on the box, independent of the driver. Twenty-one, however. have ridden in one, on an experimental trip, from the new Post office, in St. Nlartitt's-le-Gratid. to Combetiand.gate. Oxford. street, which distance was accomplished in sixteen minutes and a half. The extreme leugth of the body is ten fort, the width four feet, width of the seats fourteen inches. width of the well, eighteen inches. and depth sixteen inches. The hind axletree is hollow, to receive the well ; so that the body is thus brought nearer th. grouad, and the distance from the descending step at the back to the pavement. is reduced to about is or seven inches. This con trivauce is of importance. as it is not intended the carriage shall lesson its pace while the postmen are alighting at their respective stations. To facilitate the descent. there are swinging bandies. which will diminish the chances of accident. The weight of the machine altogether is between 12 and 13 cwt. It is to be drawn by a pair of strong horses, which will eke be furnished by Mr. Abbott. The driver is to wear a scarlet livery. The sides are decorated with the King's Arms, the Crown and Star ; and on the pannels at the end are displayed the letters G. P. O. surmounted by a crown. The canopy and curtains will effectually secure the man from the inclemency of the weather. 'The materials throughout are of the best description, and the workmanship admirable. The lining orate cushions and curtains is of blue cloth, and viewing the tout ensesabk, ft is really a pleasing description of carriage. The tour which are at present buik are intended to take four different routes; two will go up Holborn, the first stopping at Holies street, Cavendish-square, and the second at Orchard -street, Port man-square ; the third will go through Seven-dials, Piccadilly, to Hyde Park-corner; and the fourth through Newgate-street, Old Bailey, Ludgate-10, Strand, and St. James's Palace. And if these are found to succeed, more will be immediately built for the other parts of the town. This arrangement will supersede altogether what is called " the early delivery," as it is anticipated that the ordinary delivery will be effected full two hours earlier than at present, and this without any additional expense to the public. We have already stated that four general receiving houses will be ap pointed. at which letters will be received as late as a quarter to seven, without extra charge. Among the most important improve menu will be the abandonment of the mail carts, which excite so muc► wen-founded alarm in their way from the Post u6ce to the rr.ail coaches in Piccadilly and Oxford-street. AU the mail coaches will hereafter start from the Post-ollice itself. NEW POLICE. We regret to find that there still exists in the minds of some persons a prejudice against the forthcoming system of Police, grounded principally on a fear of the consequences likely t. , arise from the men wearing side-arms. These apprehensions, we are satisfied, are comparatively without foundation; for we have so doubt that the utmost solicitude will be felt by the Commis. sinners on this vital subject, and chat the most rigid instructions will necessarily be issued to the officers of the respective di.tricts to prevent the positive use of them but when compelled by the last necessity. At the same time, it is nut likely that a regular organised body like the New Police, entrusted with sock important duties. and from whom the most effective services are expected, will be allowed to be pushed and knocked about (as the watchmtn at present ate) by every drunken fellow or despetado they meet. The officers of the New Police, while they will be instructed to respect to the letter the just liberties of an Englishman, will also be expected to be decisive. vigilant, and impartial. Again, we would apprise those whose fears are thus excited, that the night patrol at present upon duty have fur years been similarly armed, yet we do not bear of any ill-use ever made of them—and when we subjoin the fact, that eac► district is officered by a super intendent, four inspectors, and sixteen serjeants of police, who have immediate comma of the men on duty, we do not anticipate for a moment the slightest abuse of this most salutary arrangement.— The goularsies are admitted by all persons to be a must perfect protecting force; and it we name in what respect they are principal'y so, we would say first, their integrity—and lastly, their accoutre ments. CAMBERWELL FAIR. Camberwell Fair is held this day as usual. Great pre parations have been made, and the Green seems the rendezvous of all the itinerant show-folks in the country. —The Magistrates, desirous of keeping the Fair within the ancient limits, have issued the following notice : " If any booth, standing, tent, or erection for the purpose of amusement or receiving company, or for the sale of beer, wine, and spirituous liquors during the ensuing Camberwell Fair, shall be erected in George-meet, and Waterloo -street, or any part, being on the ground claimed by the Lords of the Manor, it shall be ' taken down • and any person resisting the o ffi cers in doing their duty, will he taken into custody." Last year the Police found conaiderable difficulty in preventing the opening of booths in streets near the fair, but it does not ap pear that similar attempts will be made on the present occasion.— Many of the inhabitants seem to entertain a dread of the fair, and every effort is made to hold it up to public odium. A placard ap peared yesterday in the windows of a tradesman's shop near the Golden Lion, from which we extract the following : " Ttla rata! rue /AIL! _ " Upheld by ancient Charter, our Annual Fair, thougb strangely perverted from its original design, cannot be suppressed by tte Civil Authorities. " It b, however, is the power of the Friends of Virtue, Reli gion, and their Country, materially to lessen its baneful iefluence. " Remember, that every individul who, by his pre%cnce, adds to the crowd—visits the shows—or buys at the booths, not only =peens himself to temptation ; bet does all in his power to sanc tion and uphold the Fair, and countenance its vices I o I et tins the beads of families, and the inanition and gear dims of youth... the friends of their King mud their GOD, abstain from visiting the Fair tlseuessives, and meat their children, pupils, and servants front approaching that haunt of vice !" , 1,
