We are not at all surprised that the Earl of DERBY announced to his friends, on Friday, that the resolution of Earl GRRY would, if carried, destroy the Reform Bill. The succeeding remarks which he made fully proved the truth of the assertion. His lordship said that he would not refer a bill to committee which had received the " stigma" of a resolution that was insulting to the House of Commons. This is strictly correct, for it must be remembered that the bill in question was passed unanimously by the other branch of the Legislature, and it would be a direct affront to its judgment to allow Lord GREY'S invilious Resolution to be ctrried. All the Peers present on the occasion referred to cordially agree with the noLle Premier in the daermination to Ina:;(,‘ a stand ag,aillst the threatened attack ou Government measure of Reform. We feel no anxiety a. to the result of the contest in the I louse of Lords, which is to commence this evening, for Lord DERBY has taken up the matter with right judgment and in a bold spirit, and those who were ignorant of the real meaning of the proposition, or perhaps rather indifferent, must now rouse from their apathy and collect their scattered senses. If Lord GREY sincerely desired the Reform Bill to become the law of the land in this Session he should have waited until it was in Committee to make his desired alterations, instead of prejudging the affair and seeking to commit the House to an unfavourable opinion of it before it has actually been put before it. It is curious to notice that the greatest obstruc- Vous that have been put in the way of the passing of this bill have come from those who have made the most ado about the importance of speedily pass ing a measure of reform. Mr. GLADSTONE'S objec tions and interruptions proved a hill of almost in superable difficulty to the Government in the con duct of their bill through the House of Commons, and now Lord GREY aims at being the Marplot during the next stage of the proceedings before the " four benches of the upper school." With far les3 excitement, but with great interest, the public will watch the passage of the bill through the House of Lords ; and if it should not, unfortunately, be car ried unanimously by the House of Commons, the fault will not lie with the Tories, but with those who may follow Lord GREY in his captious course. A better illustration could not begiven of the fallacy of keeping so much to figures and not to facts, and of believing that changes and alterations must only take place according to rule and precedent. e noble lord who is to move the resolution has 'or a long time ably expressed his views on the sub ect of Reform, but now that the opportunity has offered itself to him of proving the truth of his professions he goes on the wrong tack, and in stead of reaching the accepted time he sets forth to show how much better the work could have been done than it has been done, and how much worse the Government have managed matters than was expected of them. No doubt he will make out a very good case for himself in the abstract, but he has forgotten that the end in view is the passing of a Reform Bill this session, and that there is no time left for quibbling and for straining at gnats, and still less that a col lision between the two Homes will not improve things before the country. Birmingham seems likely to see strange sights before the forthcoming election is over, and we expect that the most striking lesson which its events will teach will be the sort of toleration that can be displayed by those who profess to be extremely liberal. Mr. BRIGIIT may not consider himself responsible for the whole of the doings of his friends, but it is at any rate in no wise credit able to him that an affair under his auspices should be characterised by such displays of intolerance as those which disgraced the opponents of Mr. LLOYD. The greatest indignation has been expressed at the un worthy course pursued at the meeting on Friday. The Town-hall was given to Mr. LLOYD on Friday, as it had been to Mr. DIXON on Thursday, but with a very different result. On the former occa sion order prevailed, and no attempt whatever was made to interrupt the proceedings, but on Friday a perfect hurricane prevailed, and when Mr. LLOYD attempted to speak confusion worse confounded took the place of the attention that had been paid to the proceedings of the previous evening. For two hours and a half no abatement took place in the scene of riot and disorder, and it was perfectly impossible for the candidate to obtain a hearing. An ingenious mode of appeal was resorted to, by placing a placard up in front of the gallery, with the words on it—" Is this freedom of speech?" but those whom it was sought to improve proved inex orable ; they were like deaf adders, indeed, to any influence of reason or suggestion of right. Such a scene is a disgrace to the cause of those whose interests these " roughs" are supposed to serve. To succeed through the em ployment of these measures is no triumph in the opinion of the clear-headed and right-judging, for it is evident that those who will not hear what an opponent has to say cannot think his remarks are answerable, An " outrage" such as took place on Friday must be very offensive to the good sense, good taste, and goal feeling of the respectable inhabi tants, and it is not astonishing to hear that great indigrlation was felt on Saturday at the affair in the Town-hall. It is true that Mr. DtxoN's com mittee declared that they had done all they could to stop the disturbance, still many electors have made it known that they will vote for the Conserva tive candidate, which they had not intended to do, because they think he has been treated unfairly. The consequence of the uproar on Friday was that Mr. LLOYD could not be heard at all, and hero is a fine specimen of fair play and justice, be cause, however, those present differed from his views and opinions, they were bound to hear him, while we cannot speak too strongly in condemnation of the course pursued by those who interrupted the proceedings on Friday. It by no means follows that the general opinion of the town was illustrated by the affair. On the contrary, a decided change has taken place in the political feeling of the place in many instances of late, which is not to be wondered at after all that has occurred iu Parlia ment and elsewhere. The very fact of its being expected that a very close run will take place at the election proves this most completely and unmistake ably. At the time of the last election Mr. BRIGHT and Mr. SCHOLEFIELD were ahead of the Conservative competitor by some thousands, and it may afford a subject of contemplation to those who are curious in such matters to ascertain the reasons for such a change. To those who regard the affair unbiassed by party interests and uninfluenced by bitter ness and prejudice, it must be evident that while the Liberals have decreased consider ably in political reputation and character for assiduity in the course of progress the Conservatives have more than proportionately in creased in the right direction. The utmost that can be done in the way of talk has bean done, but not to much purpose, because people must see for themselves the meaning of the matter. Under all the circumstances of the case, wo think that Mr. LLOYD'S return for Birmingham would be a fitting testimonial renderedthe presentbythat Gern to o w v nto me th n e t important services which have rendered to the country, and be in no way inconsistent with the lib era l opi n io ns which it has always been fo.ind uphold. r )fir. s BRIGUT'S aim is being the dictator of Birming ham, but his election to such a post will not con duce much to freedom of opinion or enlightenment of judgment. Let the electors judge for them selves, and not be deceived by adopting or taking, we will not say by plausible persuasion, but by fierce invective and opposition, a course akin to American rowdyism rather than congenial to English tastes. At any rate, if Mr. LLOYD is de feated, it cannot be said that he was allowed a " fair fight," for his opponents have had their side enforced by the great champion from Lon don, while he has not been allowed to speak at all. Sometimes,however, the best-laid plans are defeated, and it will not be surprising if in this in,tauce the battle is not to the noisy but to those whose acts must speak for them, since monopoly of speech is claimed by their competitors, whose very intolerance and insidiousness may in the end prove to have been their ruin. Wimbledon has brought a worthy conclusion to a week of unusual festivity and excitement, and, unhappily, the weather has kept up its character till the last. Very probably, when the Sultan is safe in Turkey, when the Viceroy is moralising in Egypt on the wonders of Western civilisation, when. the brave's Beiges are recounting to their stay-at-home countrymen the adventures of their trip, the stun will come out in undiminished splendour, and - we shall have a repetition of that =broken fine watt) er THE SUN, LONDON, MONDAY EVENING, JULY 22 1867. which vanished so inopportunely before the arrival of our guests. However, it must be quite evident to the whole of them that the rain was no fault of ours, and if a good many of the entertainments provided for them were unluckily more or less dependent on the caprices of St. Swithin, this was unavoidable, and the English sight-seers had for the most part the worst of it. To-day our kindly Belgian visitors take their departure, to morrow the SULTAN takes leave of us, the Egyptian VICEROY is already gone, so that we may consider the Wimbledon Review as the concluding festivity of this pleasant interlude in the usual routine of business a,nd politics. The melancholy death of Madame 111 us uttus has cast an unexpected shadow over the brilliant recol lections of the week, and altered in some degree the programme of the SULTAN'S movement:;. I 1 did not, however, postpone his visit to Wimbledon. which would have occasioned great disappointment, and the spectators who had been patiently waiting all the afternoon for a glimpse of his Ottoman MA JESTY, were at length rewarded by a most imposing procession. The SULTAN, mounted on a white Arab, with a saddle cloth, glittering with jewels, more nearly realised the vision of an Oriental po tentate than in any other aspect. The illustrious visitor had no cause to quarrel with the reception. The only fault to be found with the demonstrations in his favour was that they were oppressively vehe ment. The crowd, stimulated by the reflection that this was probably their last opportunity for catching a glimpse of the Grand Turk, occasionally allowed their valour to get the better of their dis cretion, and good manners were overlooked or for gotten in the struggle to get a good view. The SULTAN himself was very nearly " mobbed" after a friendly fashion, and the Prince of WALES and some of the gentlemen near had to do duty as guard of honour in securing him a way to his carriage. On one occasion the crowd fairly broke through the lines and seriously interfered with the marching past of the regiments. This was hardly excusable, even allowing for a natural eagerness to see the SULTAN, and it was a pity that so much was left to the discretion of the mob instead of, a little more reliance being placed on an efficient body of police. The shooting was all that could be desired, and proved that our riflemen have not deteriorated ; the Wimbledon meeting, though not often favoured by the presence of such illustrious visitors as on Saturday, s eems a good purpose in keeping u p t h e standard and in supplying a stimulus to the marks men which might otherwise be wanting. The great danger attending all such movements and associa tions is, that when the preliminary difficulties are safely disposed of, and the first excitement has gone off, they will gradually die of inanition. So long as there are obstacles to surmount, satirists to be silenced, opponents to ..be convinced, and the whole affair has to be got into working order, there is sure to be no lack of energy, of enterprising de termination. But fresh interests come up, fresh topics engage the public attention, fresh objects engross the time and means of the most promi nent supporters, until very often a movement which promised to outlast the generation col lapses in a few years. The heads of the Volunteer movement have therefore shown a very wise fore sight in originating a festival which shall not only bring the Volunteers periodically before the public, but shall afford an incentive to pursue the days of dull and tedious routine, to keep up that steady practice without which no great ends can be at tained, and shall bring to boar upon the whole force those powerful ag,ncies of e;aulation and love of distinction which can effect so much. The Volunteers on Saturday, notwithstanding all draw backs, showed that there is no falling off In their drill or soldierly bearing, and bore comparison with the Household troops manfully. The Sultan must have been favourably impressed with the spectacle, r egw e lree n aag t mtah i um n et d rel ff a e bsi r mua e t n tp e rst e ohyve t ii o tshes ) edi v ga a dh t h di st was h a r e r m aan a gfi r en c d h e i t n oh g ne and courteo us ly b ore th e d renc hi n g rain with past.appa t e w , h a o e d prrr theiol e- Lord SPENCER providreedcephtisionhorsopoittanbsleinbawnqhuiceht made an appropriate conclusion to the brilliant en tertainments of the week. CORRESPONDENCE FROM PARIS. ear. (FROM OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT.) PARIS, Sunday Evening. Great people continue to arrive in unusual abun dance in Paris, and there are shoals of minor per sonages, English and others. Yesterday afternoon came the King and Queen of Portugal, Dom Luis the Third, Queen Maria, and his Royal Highness the Infant, Duke of Coimbra, brother of King Louis, from Brussels. They were received in the same state and with the same ceremony as the other Royal personages who recently favoured Paris with a visit. The Emperor and Prince Joachim Murat and attendants went to meet their Majesties at the station, and the cortege proceeded to the Tuileries. The Royal guests were presented to the Empress, and were then conducted to the pavilion Marsan, where magnificent apartments had been prepared for them. A large body of military escorted the procession as a guard of honour. King Louis the Third, of Bavaria, is expected in Paris ta-day. He travels in private, under the title of Count de Berg. The Viceroy of Egypt has ] P eturned to Paris again from England. Prince Napoleon Jerome has also come back to Paris. There was a Cabinet Council yesterday at the Tuileries, under the presidency of the Emperor. The Empress was present. Some reports of differences between France and Prussia having been circulated, the Palrie, in re ference to them, says :—" We are in a position to affirm that no note has been sent to the Berlin Cabinet by our representative at that Court, and that the relations between France and Prussia are of the most satisfactory character. It is well to remark, besides, that King William is at the waters, M. de Bismark in Pomerania, and M. Benedetti in Corsica, from which it may naturally be concluded that that there is not much diplomatic activity at the present moment." The Memorial Diplomatique contains a letter from Vienna, which says :—" It is not thought in the political circles of this city that the Pariamentary agitation which has been caused by the revision of the Austrian Concordat will determine the Govern ment to enter into diplomatic explanations with the Court of Rome upon the subject. But it appears probable that the Reichsrath will propose and pass a law which will modify upon several important points• the execution of the convention of 1855 al most in the same way as in France the application of the Concordat of 1801, as regulated by the articplrensyiNovuhlilciyhbleeat v v e en i n nt t a n c e t F th re e n s e t i i i p a ul n a r t n io ri u l s_ e o i rLan re i d c into inept and the Holy S_e. Ou the day that the Bill for the Abolition of Imprisonment for Debt was under discussion in the Senate, there was a scene at the door of the prison for debt in the Rue de Clichy of a curious kind and characteristic of the manners of the day. The wives and children of the imprisoned debtors were in crowds at the doors. " Your wives and children are at the doors," they wrote to their husbands, " for they wish to know the good news as soon as you." An officer of the prison was appointed by the prisoners to send them telegraphic despatches from the senate, giving a minute of the progress of the debate. About six o'clock a cab arrived in all haste at the door, before which a stentorian voice cried out, " Vive la libert6 ! viva l'Empereur !" The women and children repeated the cry in such loud tones that the prisoners were soon aware that the decision of the Senate was.favourable to them. The librarian mounted upon a table and read some verses composed upon the occasion denouncing the cupidity of usurers, and expressive of joy that the reign of imprisonment for debt was over. In the evening the prison was splendidly illuminated. Many men of note have been im prisoned for debt in France, among them Ouvvard, the great banker, and the Prince of Kaunity, brother-in-law of the former Prince Metternich, who was detained for 400,000 f. at the suit of a manufacturer of toys for children. There exists in Egypt a tree under which, according to tradition, the Virgin Mary rested during her flight i❑ Egypt. On the arrival of the Viceroy of Egypt in Paris he made a present of this tree and the surrounding land to the Empress, which her Maj..sty accepted. The wheat has been cut in several parts of France, and in some of the bakers' shops i❑ Paris bread may be had of the produce of the present The Court of Assize of the Allier has just con demned to death a man named Jacques Boulanger, a man of 74, for murder. This old man broke into the house of the brothers Sarrapat, situated in a lonely spot at Nory, killed one of the brothers with a hatchet, and attempted to kill the second, and also a servant, but they overpowered him. This assassin was condemned to hard labour for life for a murder in 1863, but his friends managed to obtain a commutation of his punishment. The Nice Court of Assize has condemned a woman named Clarissi for having murdered her father, an old man of 87, on the Ist of April last while the other members of the family were absent. The Clichy Debtors' Prison, which will soon be 1 relieved of its occupants, was built in the year 1834, and has therefore been in existence for 33 years. Some strange anecdotes are told respect ing some of the debtors who sojourned there. The famous banker Ouvvard, who was confined there, owed a little debt of five millions. Sonic persons were astonished that he did ' not get out, as he could have done so, but his inva riable answer to questioners was, "Show me another wa y of gaining five millions in five years, and I will go out to-morrow." An Englishman, who was as rich as Crcesus, made a.'vow that he would never pay the debt of the creditor who had put him into prison. The creditor said, on the other hand, that he should remain there until he did pay. lie remained in pri son for eight years. Every day the Englishman's splendid carriage, with footmen in livery, was paraded through the Champs Elysees as if he had been inside. When he died in the prison it was found that there was a clause in his will expres sively forbidding his executors to pay the debt. Another debtor, who had a hard-hearted creditor, contrived to outwit him by an ingenious device. Creditors are compelled by law to send a certain sum daily for the support of their debtors in prison, and if there be a single failure in the payment, the debt is cancelled and the debtor is free. The debtor in question caused an announcement to be made in the papers of his death. The creditor, of course, saw it, and thinking it was of no use to send money to a dead man, failed to send the stipend next day. The consequence was, that the debtor was allowed to depart, but he was polite enough to send a note to his creditor informing him that, as he knew he would be sorry to hear of his death, he took the first opportunity of informing him that there was no foundation whatever for the report. The 16th of July was the anniversary of the en trance of the Prussians into Frankfort. A letter from that city states that all the ladies residing there spontaneously appeared in mourning on that day. The provincial papers record various instances of serious damage caused in the French provinces by severe storms of thunder and lightning. No case of death or personal injury is, however, mentioned. " What's in a name ?" Few people have more names than the King of Portugal, who has just come to Paris. They are almost legion. He was bap tised as Louis Philippe-Mare-Fernando, Pedro de Alcantara, Antonio Miguel Raphael, Gabriel Gon zago, Xavier Francisco le Assiz, Joao, Augusto, Julio Volfando. Ile is not quite thirty. The Queen is an Italian Princess, daughter of King Victor Emmanuel, and was born on the 16th of October, 1847. They have two children, the Prince Royal, Charles Ferdinand, aged four, and the Duke d'Oporto, aged two years. The "T. T. F. F. Tres Fidele," prefixed to the title of the King, was given in 1849, when the Popo Benoit XIV. gave to the Kings of Portugal the title of " Kings very faithful to the Church." The prospect of constructing a n i mmense ceme tery for the burial of the dead of Paris will shortly be carried into eiecution, and there will be no more interments at Pere La Chaise or the other cemete ries. The city of Paris has purchased about 850 hectares of territory near Poutorse, some 60 miles from the metropolis. The cost of the formation of the cemetery and railway connected with it is esti mated at 15,000,000 francs. Every arrangement will be made to insure proper respect for the dead, and for cheap and easy conveyance from Paris. The cemetery will be sufficiently capacious to serve its purpose for many centuries. TilE ATLANTIC CABLE. TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN.

Victorien Station's celebrated comedy, "La Famille Benoiton," was given on Saturday at the St. James's Theatre. The house was filled with a distinguished and fashionable audience ; and the admirable play, admirable not only for the merci less severity with which it lashes the vices and vanities of the day, but for the morality which it inculcates, was acted iu a manner so perfect as to leave nothing to desire. M. Raven; performance of Champrost, the well-descended and well-thinking nobleman, was a masterpiece natural and dignified, where dignity of manner was required, accompanied by a touch of feeling when occasion demanded it, and pervaded all through by a vein of humour which was irresistible. Messrs. Mercier as 13enoiton and lloqueta as Formichel, were inimitable in their delineation of the worldly fathers, while La Petite Gerard, as Faufan ‘Benoiton, kept the house in a roar. Th e scene w h ere Champrose, the man of the world, first meets the precocious y oun g g ambler on the Bourse, is p er h aps the b es t a nd most amusing one in the play, and both p er f orme d in a style which no ne but French comedians cou ld accomp li s h. Madlle. Dechamp's personation of Clotild o f u ll y s ustained her well - earned reputation ; while the fast young ladies were well repre sented by Madlles.

Address to the Sultan from the Foreign Affairs' Committees Deputation—presented at Buckingham Palace, July 20,:h MAY IT PLEASE YOUR MAJESTY, We the subscribers to this address desire to ex press to your Majesty the satisfaction with which your presence is welcomed on the soil of Britain. The relations which have so long existed between the Ottoman and the British Empires, founded, in the first instance, on the interests of trade, have been confirmed by community of political interest. We never can forget those times of danger to Eng land, when the Continent was sealed against our commerce, and when Turkey, faithful and high minded, amidst threats and alarms, threw wide her ports to our merchants, and by her single resolution rendered nugatory the conspiracy against us. This lofty, honourable, and independent spirit we have again witnessed when powerful States have endeavoured to threaten your Empire into an abandonment of its maxims regarding the sanctity of asylum. These effOrts to extend political per secution within your frontiers have ignominiously failed; the character of your Majesty's Government and people has been maintained ; and the exile, so long as he has ab,tained from unlawful acts, has never ceased to be secure under the shadow of your throne. We also rejoice. to remember the character which, according to universal testimony, is so deeply rooted in the race to which your Majesty belongs. The British merchant has ever found reason to proclaim the special integrity and even the sensitive honour of the Turk. No elements of civilisation can compete in importance with such qualities as these, and where they exist not true civilization is either impossible or on the wane. This national virtue is reflected, as might be an ticipated, in the Government of which your Majesty is the supreme head. Observance of treaties and fidelity to obligations are prevalent characteristics o f your annals. There is no record amongst them o f guarantees undertaken one day in order to be explained away the next. In like manner the whole world knows the public credit of Turkey to be unimpeachable. She has de frauded none, and is known to be morally as incap able of wilful default as she is financially above the risk of it. Her public debt, the recent and unhappy result of external action, is still utterly insignifi cant in proportion to th e revenue ; and that revenue is far within the limits to which, by a complete return to her ancient system, it can easily be ex tended. Her character is unaLzailable, and her re sources almost unlimited. Not less universally acknowledged is it that your Majesty's Government is one utterly without design against the life and independence of any other State. If laborious treacheries have ever to be spoken of, in connexion with the name of Turkey, they are, as a matter o f course, directed against her, never for or by her. We, therefore, see in your Alajesty the representative of things rare in his tory, and rare in our own day, an honest people and an honest Government. Ilow shall a fair measure of respect, and sympathy, and confi dence be withheld from such a State ? There is another remarkable feature of Ottoman rule which, as a com merc i al people, ought to strike and instruct us. Wherever your Majesty and your Majesty's predecessors have been free to act accord ing to the traditions and maxims which you regard as obligatory, commerce, too, has been free to an extent not yet obtained for it by all the efforts of our political economists and legislators. Custom house fetters, so far as they have existed, have been of unwilling adoption, and the direct fruit of foreign action ; and they have, after a time, in a great measure succumbed not only to your sense of interest, but of conscience and self-respect. The wonderful position of your capital is a security, not a danger, to other nations, so long as the commercial system which you profess is to any considerable degree realised. May no event-- indeed untoward—reverse these conditions, and transfer such a maritime throne to hands skilled in the use of the Custom-house for ends other than those of revenue and trade. England would quickly kuow the significancJ of the new combination of an omnipotent commercial position, and a lawless poli tical code. We therefore more especially rejoice to note the striking expansion of the cotnwerce between Turkey and England. Notwithstanding the profoundest efforts to thwart this development, it continues rapiWy to advance. It becomes to hide by any dexterity the truth that Turkish law main tained means c anmercial freAom and prosperity, and that Ta ki.sh law interfered with, and Turkish rule distut bed or withdrawn, means pro tauto the reverse. We see in your Majesty the head of an empire in which reigns unenfeebled the idea of law as bear ing on the questiGns of peace and war. No dis tinction can be greater tom that between a people which holds war to depend on a judicial process; and one which unconscious of, or indifferent to, the possible misuse of its collective power, and forgetful of the religious sanction which distinguished blood shed from murder, allows war to be initiated by merely political persons and on merely political grounds. To virtuous men and intelligent students of history it is no less consolatory than extraordi nary that there should exist, in modern times, au llipire in which war is an event which can only occur after deliberations to ascertain its justice, ac companied by formalities intended to secure the conscience of the humblest as well as the highest iu the State. We are therefore able to rejoice, without misgiv ing, that your Majesty's army, is pronounced by competent authorities to be one of the best in ex istence. We know that, only a few years ago, it never acted but to succeed, and that all its opera tions were as much characterised by a perfect dis cipline as by courage. Your army possesses and enjoys the advantage of a physical condition which keeps disease at bay, which makes your muster-roll on the field equivalent to that in your archives, which renders the mind of the soldier cool, cheerful, and alert, and his body almost unconscious of fatigue. The high rate of his pay and allowances, and the character of the population from which the great majority are drawn, no doubt con tribut to this admirable spirit. But the temperance which he neces sarily practises, and the habits of personal cleanli ness which with him are a primary duty, and which are facilitated by methods adopted by your race from the days of Roman dominion, have a share in the result which must not be ignored. Thus the Otto man army is no undisciplined crowd of men, mind lees, ignoble, dissolute, intemperate, or diseased. It contains all the elements which make the military state honourable, consistent with a high sense of duty, safe and useful to the State, and formidable to the foe. But this temperance characterises not your Ma jesty's army alone, but your subjects. Your Majesty cannot appreciate the feelings with which a patriotic Briton acknowledges this truth. We are many of us labouring to elevate our fellow-citizens from the degradation of an habitual intemperance which annually consumes millions of our wealth, propagates hereditary disease, fills our gaols, and reduces many millions of our labourers to the con dition of squalid pauperism. This cancer devours our State, and will further infect our offspring. All misfortunes may be faced and redressed where mind and character have not rotted under debasing vice ; but what shall con quer difficulties, when mind itself is thus debased ? We rejoice that this second Fall of Man has not yet occurred among the many millions subject to your sceptre. There are various other subjects on which we might venture to felicitate your Majesty, and ex press our good wishes. That of the municipal liber ty so widely spread and so deeply rooted in your empire, deserves for itself alone the exposition of volumes; so likewise the principles of finance and taxation properly characterising the Turkish State. Shortcomings and faults belong to all human insti tutions ; but some of the evils connected with these matters in other partS of the world, and which have too often become organised mischiefs destroying society, your fundamental laws have rendered im possible. The self-allocation of fiscal burdens is in itself a principle of indestructible vitality. White we daily contemplate with dismay a:great people in Central Europe undergoing the last ex tremities of political and religious persecution, their very language warred against, and the essentials of their ancestral faith subjected to daily outrage, not through popular outbreaks of hostile sects, but by the deliberately applied energies of a powerful Government betraying its first trust, it is a con solation to regard the opposite spectacle presented in your Majesty's Empire. Your sceptre represses local pbrenzies, and is, often amid singularly difficult circumstances, the ultimate refuge of all. Each of the various Christian communities is free to maintain its own organic life, to carry on its own affairs, to administer its own pro perty, maintain or extend its own hierarchy, diffuse its charities, and educate its people. When such free action has been impeded, it has been by the hand of conspiracy, sometimes even glaringly guided from abroad; never by the impulse, and infinitely less by the plans and intentions, of your Government. What unheard-of happiness would it not be for Poland and Lithuania to know an hour of breathing time under your Majesty's rule ; nay, what would not the many unoppressed but over-administered religious communities of various European States give for similar rights of self management ? Systematic misrepresentations and laboured in trigue have been methods ofttimes used against your Majesty's Empire. These frequently, and arms but rarely, have succeeded. Provinces have even been torn away by a combination of foreign States. In one case a race had begun after many misfortunes to flourish under the Ottoman rule. Their trade, their ships, their numbers, their general well-being had been increasing under your Majesty's more immediate predecessors by strides almost unparalleled. It was needful for the pur poses of some that this should cease. Foreign conspiracy, and foreign conspiracy alone, changed this picture into one of insurrection ; then fed and sustained that insurrection ; then matured an intervention ; and finally hurried on an armed _ _ assault of the greatest navies in the world dur- ing profound peace against your Majesty's forus. The ruin of the people who had been stirred up to revolt, and whose ruin then formed a pretext for succour, was a matter of no account with the projectors of the scheme. To prosper under the Turkish flag was a crime. The prosperity was there fore to be used as a weapon against the Govern ment which permitted it, and the victims had to be reduced to a condition in which they should be taught to look to its enemy for support. They were indeed ruined, and the combined expenditure and ceaseless exertions of Europe have failed to restore prosperity to that portion of the race which had been withdrawn from your dominion. We refer to this tragedy in hopes of contributing to avert another. The insolence of conspiracy has not even for a moment been concealed in the case of the Candian revolt. It is avowedly kept up by extraneous agencies alone. The ostentation and utter indecency of the daily and hourly breaches of all law on the part of some of the conspirators, forbid any hesitation in thus referring to them. We know that it is the duty, and the easy duty, of Eng land to arrest these lawless proceedings on the part of a State which she has created and nurtured, and which is in her debt. But, at all events, we trust that your Majesty knows the duty of chastising public crime. It will be argued that the Government which, in pursuance of long meditated designs, has brought about this present evil, would, in such a case as the chastisement of her instrument, precipitate events and bring down calamities still more serious. But let your Majesty be assured that the Government in question always strains her means of action to the utmost, and that what it can do it will do without incentive. Your Majesty wields a power in various branches far more than equal to any emergency which may be created by the aggressions of any Power. For our own sake we desire that the needed example be given, for wo too, in our turn, begin to know something of how domestic treason may be fomented from abroad, and even elevated into a vital danger. There is no safety but in vindication of law, and the State which vin dicates the law iu its own case strengthens all others iu their hour of need. Iu this as in all the many other fields where lust of dominion and the spirit of cunning are openly or . secretly at work throughout the world against up ' right rule awl honest possession, may courage be taken by the aggrieved, and may God defend the right ! believe that not only the i.l.!a of adapting the court of the I ulizt-01i. , e to di) purpos: , s of a ball-room, but the crodi t of almost all the arrangements,which excited such universal admiration on Friday are due to Sir ilskille Perry. lie bad a most and woe task in c_mvorting a still unfinished public office, at vet y short notice, to such a pur pose; and the success with which it was achieved is the best evidence of the good taste and unsparing labour ap plied iu achieving it. ANOTHER INVENTION BY THE EARL OF CAITH NEss.—We understand that a compass on a now and im portant principle has been made and is being patented by the Earl of Caithness. The details of the invention are distinguished by great simplicity, and are such as will be of the utmost importance to seafaring meu. The compass was tested on board the new steamer Russia, Dll the Clyde, the other day, and the result was in the highest degree to show its great superiority to that now iu use. One of its chief recommendations is of course its simplicity, but there are other futures, such as its not being affected by those influences that produce motion on other compasses, the absence of the pendulum, &e.—Northern Ensign. it Call LIT.

In the forenoon his Imperial Majesty the Sultan received the following deputations : From the Royal Asiatic Society, consisting of Viscount Strangford, Sir Edward Colebrooko, M.P., Sir Frederick Halliday, K.G.8., Major- General Sir Henry Rawlinson, K.C.B. and M.P., Major-General Sir Andrew Scott Waugh, RE., F.R.S., Mr. Grant Duff, Mr. Edwin Norris, Mr. Redhouse, Mr. Arthur Russell, M.P., and Mr. Edward Thomas. A deputation from the Foreign Affairs Commit tees and the Friends of Turkey in England had the honour of being presented to his Majesty the Sul tan at Buckingham Palace on Saturday, the 20th. The deputation consisted of Mr. Monteith, Mr. Rolland, Mr. Crawshay, Mr. Charles Wells, Mr. Mill, and Mr. Francis Francis, and representatives from the Foreign Affairs Committees of 18 towns —Sheffield, Newcastle, Birmingham, Manchester, Preston, Keighley, &c. Addresses were presented by Mr. Monteith, of carstairs, Lanarkshire, who spoke a few words explanatory of their nature, which were afterwards given in the Turkish lan guage by Mr. Charles Wells, who also handed his Majesty an address in Turkish he had written. his Majesty replied, expressing the pleasure and obli gation he felt in receiving the deputation, and knowing their sentiments. This is the only case (with the exception of the Asiatic Society) in which the Sultan has been addressed by a British associa tion in his own language, n,nd at which he seemed much pleased. (The address will be found in an other column). From Manchester, consisting of the Mayor (Mr. Robert Neill), Mr. Alderman Nicholls, and Mr. Heron (Town Clerk), accompanied by Mr. Hyde Clarke (Cotton Commissioner in Turkey).

In consequence of the melancholy death of Madame Musurus, the Turkish Ainba.s3a3or Was unable to be present. PRINCESS'S THEATRE. On Saturday evening this theatre opened under the management of Mr. Herinann Vezin, on which occasion a new four-act drama, entitled the 46 Man o' Airlie," was produced. It is from the pen Of Mr. W. G. Wills, the author of " David Chantry," and other novels; and although we believe it is his first dramatic effort, it is of such merit that we look towards him hopefully for the future. To Mr. Vezin, however, he is under much obliga tion, as for him he has assumed the reins of ma nagement a perilous enterprise to undertake, especially at this season of the year. However, without he had done so Mr. Wills's play would per haps never have been produced, because such a s pirit of cliquism prevails amongst our author-critics that great indeed must be the merit of a piece, the produce of a person so peculiarly placed, to insure its representation on the metropolitan stage. There is at times a loud call for new authors to come for ward, but when the cry is answered cliquism pre vails, and the aspiring writer, not being one of the band of brothers, he is, after a little dallying, hop lessly put off with a recommendation to rewrite thi 4 part of his play, to alter that, and reconstruct the plot; in fact, to write another, which perhaps mai be better suited to the stage than the one he has had the temerity to submit for approval. gel" ever, Mr. Wills has not fortunately been sub' jected to such treatment. He has submitted his first play to Mr. Vezin, and that gentleman has had the courage to rent the Princess's Theatre specially for its production. The new play is entitled " The Man o' Airlie," the author at the outset himself telling us that he is indebted for the leading incidents to a Gernia e author, Carl von Holtei. The plot is as follows James Harebell (Mr. Hermann Vezin) is a hill-sid° bard, dwelling somewhere in the highlands of Scotland. He has a wife and child whom he dearly loves, but, if possible, ho loves as dearly the idea of making a great name as a poet, and bequeathing I t to posterity. Harebell is the poet of the people' who look up to him with reverence and admiration, and would fain make an idol of him. Like all poets, he is a lover of nature, and in one of in s rambles on the hills he meets with George Brandon (Mr. 11. Forrester), and forms an a e. quaintance with him. Brandon is enaged to be mar ried to Miss Steelman (Miss Nelly Moore), daughte r of Lord Steelman (Mr. W. D. Gresham) ; but th e young lady, although she does not offer any objection to the union, secretly affects Sir Gerald Hope (i \ E. Price), whom she has met on the Contincn'',' Brandon is, in short, a scamp, a gambler, a what" not ; and being entrusted by Harebell with £2O O t°_ pay his London publisher for bringing out his vo lume of poems, makes use of it to pay off gambling deb ts. He also contrives to borrow some few hundreds more--his wife's fortune, under various pretence!, which, of course, he never refunds. Harebell 1 ° driven to distraction by the loss of his money ' his goods are sold off, his cottage is taken fr° ra him ; and, to crown all, his wife dies. Ile g°, 3 1 s mad, and it is believed he has made away with himself. Twenty years pass away, and the reineol,d brance of the people's poet is brighter in the people 7 mind than ever. It is determined to erect a state° to his memory. The money is found, the sculPtc r ~ is found, the statue is completed, and the day ar rive' when the memorial is to be erected to the hon our of the poet. The whole country assembles around the pedestal, and the ceremony is preceded h a singing one of Harebell's best remembered 313 most popular songs.
