EVEN iNG EDITION. TURKEY. OFFICIAL INTELLIGENCE. Speech addressed by the Sultan to the Council of Minis'.( rs on the 12th of March, 1840, ratifying the Reforms guaranteed by the Hatti- Sheriff : • " Members of this Illustrious Assembly, Ministers, High Functionaries, and Ulemas, " I have confided to 3our zeal the carrying into effect of those measures of Government and Administration, the prin ciple of.which was contained in the Hatti-Sheriff read at Gul hane, and wherein I declared to you the rights and immunities which I had deemed fitting to grant to all the subjects of this empire. Since the re-organization of this illustrious Assembly, which took place at that period, every question has been discussed by it with freedom and impartiality, a due regard has been paid to the prescriptions of the law, the dictates of reason, and the decisions which you have come to have been conformable to justice and equity. I feel pleasure in expressing to you my perfect satisfaction. Thanks be to the Almighty, the fruits of your zeal, and of the harmony which reigns among you, has been, that in a short time much that is useful to reform has already been accomplished. Local Committees for the purpose of examining into the financial and other affairs of the provinces and districts in which the new system is to be carried into execution, have been already established. Capable and honourable men have been appointed as judges, fitting in structions have been given to them with regard to their conduct, and sufficient remunerations have been assigned to them for the services they may render. The question of the general police of the country has been inquired into and derided, and such measures as were deemed necessary have been adopted in con sequence. " All the subjects of my empire understanding and appre ciating the advantages, both present and future, of these insti tutions, have welcomed them everywhere with enthusiasm and gratitude. These facts proving, as they do, the order and prosperity which reign in the country, and the content and happiness my subjects enjoy, cannot fail to afford me the highest satisfaction. " As there are still many measures which must flow from these beneficent institutions, to your zeal and fidelity I commit the drawing of them up, in the full coufinence that you will bestow on them your most serious attention. " The assurances I continue to receive from these friendly powers who are allied by treaties to the Sublime Porte, are such as induce me to hope that certain questions now under discussion will be brought to a speedy and satisfactory termi nation. " You are well aware that it is my most anxious desire to do away with all those abuses and vexations equally opposed to law and reason which now exist in the country, that I may thereby insure the happiness of my subjects and the prosperity of my empire. " We have already seen the happy results of the freedom of debate and deliberation in this Assembly, and, in accordance with the regulations to which it is now submitted, it is my sin cere hope that you will, by the grace of God, persevere in the line of conduct you have hitherto pursued. " Let those who may be guilty of any act contrary to them be fairly and legally accused, and if judgment be given against them, let them be promptly punished. May the Almighty preserve us all, and keep us always un der his gracious protection." " ADDRESS OF THE COUNCIL " In condescending to honour the Council of State with your august presence on Sunday last, your Majesty has conferred upon us the most signal mark of your favour and esteem, and it cannot but be the most powerful encouragement to our efforts. We pray to the Almighty for the prolongation of your life, and the well-being and prosperity of this nation. The rights and immunities granted by the Hatti-sheriff of Gulhane to all the empire being the basis of all the reforms to be introduced, free dom of debate and the organization of this Council have been the immediate consequences of it. It will be our duty to con form in every thing to the dictates of law and reason, and to maintain to the utmost of our power the harmony which reigns among us. " The measures necessary to be adopted for the regulation of the financial affairs of the country have been already discussed. It. was also of the first importance to fix the amount of salary to be paid to the Judges. This question has likewise been de cided on. The public administration of the country has been placed on a proper footing, and the people everywhere rejoice in these changes. We hope that in devoting all our efforts to the Progress of reform, we shall continue to merit your Imperial approbation, and that, in accordance with your supreme will, we shall; at length see every abuse cease to exist, and justice and equity reign in their stead. As, however, the ameliorations which have been introduced into the provinces are rf a nature altogether different from the system which has hitherto prevailed, it will be constantly necessary to watch over and enforce their execution, and we shall take an early oppor tunity of submitting for your Imperial consideration and con sent certain projects relating thereto. " The assurances you receive from those friendly powers in alliance with the Sublime Porte are such as we were led to hope they would be, and we pray to Almighty God to terminate these affairs to the advantage of the Ottoman empire. It being necessary that just and legal punishments should be inflicted on all those who are guilty of violation of the laws, a penal code for this purpose is in progress of compilation, which, when completed, will be submitted to your Imperial approbation. " The Hatti-sheriff of Gulhane pointed cut the necessity of limiting the duration of military service. This question is now under the consideration of the Council of War, and the measures which are about to be adopted will afford every ad vantage and facility, both to the troops and to the population of the empire." " HATTI-SHERIFF AFFIXED BY THE SULTAN TO THE ADDRESS. " I have received the address presented to me by the Council of State. The fresh proofs of your zeal and devotion in carry ing into effect those measures of reform, the object of which is the regeneration of this country, afford me the most lively sa tisfaction. Since you consider it necessary to watch carefully over what passes in the provinces, appointing rewards for those who shall give proofs of zeal and integrity, and awarding fitting punishments to those who shall be found guilty of acts contrary to the laws, you will act wisely in giving this matter your early consideration ; and I hope also that the important mea sure relative to fixing the duration of military service will be productive of general advantage. " It is my determination to present myself solemnly before this council at the commencement of every year, as well for the purpose of expressing to you my satisfaction for your past labours, as for that of making known to you my imperial will re lative to such affairs as I wish to lay before you. •' May the Ahnigity preserve us all in the right way," DISMISSAL OF THE PATRIARCH. TRANSLATION OF THE IMPERIAL BATTI SHERIFF. 31y- Vizier —I have examined the complaints of the Eng lish Ambassador (as contained in the present report), with respect to the highly improper conduct of the Patriarch to wards the Seven Islands, and the opinion of the Commission instituted by the Council of Achem Adlia. As in the times of my ancestors of glorious memory, the subjects conforming to the vai ions rites which exist in our empire should still enjoy the free exercise of their religion ; and it is my imperial order that the chiefs of these sects may be protected from every an noyance and difficulty in the performance of their duties. But it is equally necessary that they should not abuse their privi, leges, so as to be wanting in the respect which the empire owes to the friendly and Allied Powers. If the complaints of the above-named Ambassadors had reference only to some reF.gious d.fferences between the Patriarch and the Government of the Seven Islands, the excuses of the Patriarch would have been submitted to the Ambassadors ; but, according to the, report of the Commission of Inquiry, the Patriarch, not sr.tisfied with exerting his legitimate influence, having made use, of language really unjustifiable and insulting to the friendsh;.p which exists between our empire and England; and, according to your re port. the guilt of the Patriarch having been, established in the Council, let him be deposed from his pa'xiaredignity, hal and let th' Greek nation c h oose another. F.such is my order. PARLIAMENT OF THE lONIAN ISLANDS. The Corfu y Gazett e o f t h e 7th of February contains therhe spextraordinarlllajeech of his E xce ll ency the Lord High Commis sioner of esty, jae protecting Sovereign of the United States of the lonian islands, to the Legislative Assembly, on its seventh Parli:iment. After alluding to the dissolution of the last Parliament, which had in a measure thrown back public business, he stated that a joint-stock bank had been put in operation, which he confidently believed would prove highly advantageous to the various interests of the islands. In regard to the dangerous conspiracy brought to light in the neighbouring kingdom, Greece, he merely said that the views of the conspirators appeared not to be confined to the kingdom of Greece alone, but also against the adjacent Ottoman dominions, and had a direct tendeney to disturb the existing tranquility of the lonian States. It pained him to add that some of their subjects were engaged in it. He had every reason to hope that it was the wish of King Otho to cul tivate the best and friendly relations with the States, and that there would exist between the two Governments such a communication as would give the best founded hopes of redress for past wrongs and security against future outrages. He begged particularly to press upon the attention of the as sembly the subject of public instruction, stating that it behoved every Government to look to the esta blishment and improvement of primary schools for the edu cation of the peop!e generally, through devoting a small sum for the stipends of teachers out of the monies appropriated to this great object. Fifty-eight additional primary schools had been established since the year 1836, and the number of scholars had become twofold. After recommending other loc•al improvements, he said that he regretted to acquaint the Asseibbly that the revenue had still further diminished in the year just then closed. The total receipts had been 173,705/. 155., and the total payments to 173,705/. 155., and the residue of the civil pension fund made a Balance in the public Treasury, on the 31st of January, of 34,4791. 18s. 3d. Strict economy had effected a consider able diminution of exp-nditure, end this was intended to be the policy of the Executive Administration. He had called the attention of the Home Government to the increas ing diminution in the Revenue, and to the impossibility us which tilt{ States found themselves to make good the pe cuniary obligations contracted with Great Britain; and it afforded him satisfaction to state, that by her Majesty's Govern ment not insisting upon the punctual fulfilment of these engage ments the lonian Government had been enabled, without bur dening the people with new taxes, to keep all the branches of the Fublic service regularly pit up, and to carry on all im portant public works, charitable institntions, &c. He also had pleasure in acquainting the House, that measures were in course of adoption for enlarging and improving ports and har bours by the prolongation and erection of suitable moles, for encouraging the building and repairing of ships; and in con clusion, announced that lonian vessels were now admitted to all the privileges of British shipping in direct voyages to the ports of the United Kingdom, or to those of her colonies. The reply on the part of the Assembly expressed full concurrence in the views of the Lord High Commissioner. LADY MORGAN'S NEW WORK.--" WOMAN AND HZA MASTER."—Among the many subjects which engage public attention, that of the social position of woman has of late years made the steadiest progress. The feeling has almost Imperceptibly grown up, that society has been deeply injured by a contemptuous neglect of the faculties and capabilities of the sex, and that both as respects its rights and duties great reforms are requisite. The accession of a female to the throne of these realms has c , ntributed to concentrate attention on the point, and the successful appearance of sev,.ral works connected with the subject proves that the demand for infor mation i s i ncreas i ng. The publication, therefore, of Lady A th i"gan'' " Woman and her blaster," has the g rea t merit of e apropos. He r wor k contains a rapid sketch of f ema le his tory und e r th e var i ous circumstances in which the progress of society has plac e d th e sex—a, whichvernezas ssar3 preliminary to any useful proje c t f or t h e future hitherto been too ge nerally neglected by ent h us i astic theorist. .

The Lords did not meet yesterday: In the Commons a petition was presented by Mr. EA STHOPE, from DANIEL RAY, complaining of being im properly committed to prison, and of being unable to obtain redress, which, after some opposition, was or dered to be printed, with a view to be taken into consideration on a future day. The Report of the Totnes Election Committee was brought up, and declared the election void. There will be a new election. Mr. HUME, after Easter, is to move for leave to bring in a Bill to repeal the Official Pensions Act. The Copyright Bill, which stood for last evening, was postponed for three weeks, and the Constabulary Bill till May 6, to allow the debate on the Chinese question to be proceeded with. Mr. HAWES spoke first on the adjourned question. He said all the circumstances connected with the opium trade were as well known in 1833, when Sir JAMES GRAHAM was responsible for the Order in Council, as in 1840, and quoted letters of 1831 in support of his assertion. He proved that such indignities as were now heaped on the British, had been formerly practised on them under the Company's monopoly, but the super cargoes of the Company submitted, like good mer chants, for the sake of profit. It was impossible, he contended, that the Government in Downing-street could provide for all contingencies, and that it was its duty to appoint proper officers, not hamper them with too detailed instructions, but trust to their discretion. He affirmed that the objects of the present armament were not aggression, not aggrandizement, but reparation for unjust, illegal, and insulting conduct. Mr. THESIGER, in a maiden speech, went over much of the ground which Sir WILLIAM FOLLETT had trodden the night before, and, like him, belaboured Sir JAMES GRAHAM and the Bill for making the China trade free, and the Order in Council of 1833, for which Sir JAMES has acknowledged himself responsible. The Hon. and Learned Member indulged in a variety of hack observations, quite worthy of a second-rate lawyer, about Lord PALMERSTON'S lethargy, official energy, &c. &c.; he having about as clear a conception appa rently of what a Minister in Downing-street can do to regulate affairs at Canton, as a lawyer who is continually hired to speak falsely, and continually does it, has of the value of truth above falsehood. Tne Hon. Member has, however, already got the habit of appearing much at his ease, and was by no means daunted by the strange company in which he spoke for the first time. When a man stands up like a lawyer in the House of Commons to make out a case, instead of speaking like a statesman to establish a truth, he must anticipate criticism from the public ; hence our re marks on Mr. THESIGER. Mr. C. BULLER followed Mr. THESIGER, giving him a little well-merited advice, without further condescend ing to notice his arguments. The lion. Member ridi culed, with c onsiderable effect, the retrospective fore• sight of Sir J. GRAHAM, and called for the production, as a proof of it, of all the despatches Sir JAMES GRAHAM would have written to C.lptain ELLIOT had he been Se cretary for Foreign Affairs. Mr. BULLER exposed very happily the tergiversations of Sir JAMES GRAHAM, and the errors of the despatch of the Duke of WEL LINGTON. If Mr. MACAULAY scattered the heavy Baronet into fragments, Mr. C. BULLER kindly gathered the frag ments together, and made a bonfire of them. Sir JAMES GRAHAM looked most piteous and downcast, and what i s ca ll e d fl a bb ergas t e d, o n Tuesday evening . f o te w r Mr. M ACAULAY h a d smas h e d hi m , but last night h that" sh woe-begone, after Mr. BULLER had roasted him, than hiswecoul could ownfao fucynnootrhal ashes. nothing more melancholy for his friends Mr. G LADS TONE the was the opium first Hon.vehementlytrade, Member anddef whoead defended denounced the conduct o f t h e Chinese.

Mr. GLAnsT s oNE , is possessed of sufficient talents to make a respectable appearance in the House, and has no occasion to imitate the turns of the body, the cadences, and the oratorical gestures of Lord STANLEY. We like his warmth against the opium trade, because we presume it is sin cere ; but when the Hon. Gentleman asserted that the war had grown out of the opium trade, he must have forg otten that the trade had existed fo r many years, an was on the point of being legalized when jealousy of our power in India, and the fear of losing the silver, caused it to be prohibited. Mr. WARD took a very different view from LADY MORGAN'S NEW WORK. Immediately. in 2 vols. post Bvo., WOMAN AND HER MASTER. By LADY MORGAN. Henry Colburn, Publisher, 13, Great Marlborough-street.

Mr. GLADSTONE, and showed at some length that the Chinese had heaped outrages and insults on the English. While the Honourable Member declared that on this account he should support the Government, he recommended, like Sir G. STAUN TON, the greatest caution and forbearance, and the ap peal at first to all peaceful means of obtaining honour able redress before commencing a war. The House, which was crowded and attentive about nine o'clock till the time Alr. WARD began to speak, a little before eleven, became impatient after he rose, and became gradually thinner. When Mr. G. PALMER began, after Mr. WARD, the House was not above one-third full, and was almost deserted before the Hon. Member closed his observations. He undertook to point out to the House the moral character of the Chinese, and quoted several examples, both of edicts and individual conduct—one of which he had himself experienced—of the most amiable benevolence. But the more amiable their general character, and the more just and benevolent their dealings with strangers, the more reason have we to be displeased at being singled out to suffer their con tumely or their outrages. 'With one remark of Mr. PALMER'S we were struck, namely, that al the Cap tains of all the English merchant vessels at Lintin were willing to give the bond required by LIN, which Cap tain ELLIOT would not allow them to give. From that it may be inferred that Captain ELLIOT'S conduct has not been altogether such as the English merchants approve of. We desiderate, therefore, after hearing Mr. PALMER'S speech, a great deal more evidence than we have met with of the opinion of our country men within Captain ELLIOT'S jurisdiction. It has been said in the course of the debate that Lord PALMER STON does not mean to remove Captain ELLIOT, and approves of his conduct. We can hardly credit that, and look for further explanations on the point. We will conclude by making another remark, suggested by Mr. PALMER'S speech. If Sir JAMES GRAHAM, in stead of making a motion of direct censure on the Ministers for not foreseeing and providing for what nobody foresaw, had moved a resolution declaring that it is due to the honour of the British Legislature to be satisfied of the justice and necessity of the proceed ings against the Chinese before sanctioning them, and had proposed a Committ ee o f I nqu i ry , w i t h a v i ew to investigate . investigate as fully as possible the conduct of Captain ELLIOT and the conduct of the Chinese, we should have thought he was doing some service to the cause of humanity and justice. He has made, however, only a factious attack on the Ministers, and will be, we hope, defeated, as we are sure he deserves to be despised. At Half-past Twelve the debate, on the motion of Mr. HOGG, was again adjourned. Sir ROBERT PEEL has outraged the Pro-Corn law men beyond endurance by bearing his testi mony to the value of commerce and manufactures. Accordingly the Morning Post of yesterday fol lows the Morning Herald of Saturday, in exposing the sad mistake of the Conservative hero. Their's is not the friendly eye which never sees a fault ; they profess friendship indeed to the Right Hon. Baronet ; they sometimes worship him, but it is as savages worship idols which they break to pieces and destroy when their wishes are thwarted. If the out-and-out Pro-Corn-law men are angry with the Right Hon. Baronet for telling the truth, what will they say to the " impudent renegade " who also bore, though unwillingly, his testimony to the national advantages of commerce on Tuesday even ing ? The ex-Whig First Lord of the Admiralty said that it was no exaggeration to say, that the commerce with China provided one-sixth of the national revenue. The Pro-Corn-law men, whose case rests on deriding commerce or ridiculing and contemning manufactures, are thus condemned to bear testimony against themselves. Their journals are consistent, for they would put down commerce and put down manufactures by the strong hand, and so encourage agriculture exclusively, as a means of making the nation prosperous and powerful. So bad is the cause of the Pro-Corn-law men, that to preserve their advantages, even discussion must be prohibited. The Herald has talked of the neces sity of putting down the Anti-Corn-law agitation. Nothing is, however, more idle than the com parisons which the Pro-Corn-law journals have in stituted betwixt agriculture and manufactures. They are the two legs of society, which cannot conveniently march without both. To dispute which is of the most utility is not less absurd, than a dispute whether the left or the right leg cloth most contribute to locomotion. Both are equally useful—both are . parts of the same social (not political) system, which would not be complete wanting either. In the human body some parts are formed or developed at a later period than others, so in the social body manufactures and commerce perhaps come after agriculture, as agri culture came after hunting and pastutage; but ex cept priority in the order' of ,time—the nearest to barbarism—agricultural labour has no other claim to superior respect. The assertion, on which the whole bread-tax rests, that agriculture is more im portant than commerce, is, we repeat, as absurd as an assertion that the right leg is of more import. ance to the body than the left leg. On the same analogy, the Corn-law is as absurd as a me di ca l system which would seek to promote the fleetness and strength of man by crippling his left leg, and sending the whole blood of the lower extremities into the right. Those, however, who contrast agriculture and manufactures, do not mean the two species of equally useful and skilful labour ; they mean rent and ma nufacturing profit. Agriculture produces wheat, but the miller and the baker manufacture wheat into bread. Agriculture produces cotton and wool, the manufacturer works them into cloth. Both arts are necessary to complete the bread and the cloth, and one could not exist without the other. Whether the landlord or the manufacturer shall have the greater share of the combined pro duction is a question which we wish to have left to the higgling of the market, and the Pro-Corn law men insist on settling to their advantage by the law. But it is said by the Post that the " wisest men in this country believe that England has pushed the manufacturing system too far." If it be so, and it has been done by legislation, the fault is the land lords', for in their hands has been the legislative power. Manufactures, however, are not the offspring of legislation. Be they good or evil, they are the na tural growth of the circumstances of society, and can only be checked or rooted out by some artificial system of constraint and punishment. The profit derived from them is also the growth of circumstances, and differ from the present bread-tax-raised rent, in being the natural growth of those circumstances, while rent is the offspring of laws. The bread tax, and the poverty consequent on it, as the Le gislature ordains it, the Legislature can suppress ; the manufacturing system, however evil it may be, as the Legislature does not ordain it, the Legisla ture cannot suppress. The complaints made against it, except to inform public opinion, or to register facts for careful deductions, with a view to correct knowledge, are as idl^ as the plan of pro moting locomotion by crippling one of the legs. We see that a number of half-Tory, half-Liberal journals, such as the Manchester Guardian and the Edinburgh Courant, are advocating a fixed duty, or depreciating agitation. One says that the abolition of the Corn-laws would not much lower prices, and that it is not worth contending for ; another, that it is little better than clap-trap to object to tax foreign corn more than any other commodity. These dampers of the public zeal must not be trusted. How much or how little the abolition of the Corn laws would lower prices is of very little consequence since the abolition ceased to be a statistical and be came a moral question. It is now of more conse quence to satisfy the bulk of the people that the Legislature means justly, than to increase manu facturers' profits. The Corn-laws endanger the whole political fabric, and require to be abo lished for the safety of property. If a duty had never been levied to enrich the landlords, it might now be levied for rever,ue ; but having been so levied, and such being the effect of a fixed as well as a fluctuating duty, the former ca nnot with any safety be substituted w fo h r o the lattesra.tisJfieudsticweitrheqiuloirtehsiog theletsosta.l Those who and will be re commend us to try for a fixed duty, palter with in terests that are far more solemn and sacred than the amount of cotton spun and exported.

The case of Davis v. Black, tried at Gloucester, and reported in another part of The Sun, is a curious one, affording a little additional evidence of the tendency of the true Church towards the assumption of arbitrary power. By the arrival at Falmouth on Tuesday of her Ma jesty's packet Petrel, Lieutenant CROOK, from the Brazils, we have received advices from Rio de Janeiro to the 18th of February. The Petrel has brought 20,0001. on freight, but no political news of interest. The exchange on London at Rio on the 17th February was 31d. The supply of Coffee was abundant; LA it was feared that the great drought which prevailed would injure the new crops. At a late hour on Monday night her Majesty's pac ket Sheldrake, Lieutenant PASSINGLIAM, arrived at Palmouth from the West Indies with a freight of 12,0001. The Sheldrake sailed from Cape Henri on the 3d of March. The papers brought by her represent the West India colonies as in a state of great tranquillity. That so desirable a state of things shall be permanent, depends in a great measure upon the planters. In every case where the coloured population has been kindly treated—or where the remembrance of deep wrongs has not prompted a negative revenge, the emancipated negroes have shown themselves as much under the in ' fluence of the desire of acquiring gain as day labourers in any other part of the world. Their wants are found to be sufficiently numerous and artificial to require con stant employment with good wages necessary to satisfy them. Brussels Papers of the fiti inst., received this morn ing state the KING has appointed M. NOTHOMB, late Minister of Public Works, Envoy Extraordinary and Minister Plenipotentiary to the German Confederation. Immediately after the opening of the Chamber of De puties cn Monday, the President rose, and asked per mission to read the following message, which he had re- - ceived from the Minister s : " GENTLEMEN, — The King has authorized us to declare to the Chamber that, in consequence of a new application from us, he has accepted the resignation which we had the honour to tender to him on the 14th of March. " The Honourable Members who signed the proposition read in the sitting of the 2d of this month, considered that it was calculated to reconcile the different opinions in the vote which divided the Chamber. The same confidence was enter tained by a great number of their colleagues. This considera tion, added to that which I had the honour to state to the Chamber in the same sitting, induced us to suspend, for a time, an application for our discharge. We woul.d not have with drawn, sinless the motion had been carried by an overwhelming majority. The esteem justly enjoyed by the Hon. Members, who considered the motion as equally calculated to satisfy the Cham ber, and thus the Ministry, naturally led us to believe that. it would not give rise to a long debate. However, several Mem bers have announced their intention to speak upon it, which proves that the conciliation of oil nions has not made sufficient progress. We are th, , refore authorized to make a new applica tion to his Majesty, who has been pleased definitively to ac cept our resignation."—( Applause in the galleries.) The PRESIDENT—The Chamber does not allow the galleries to interfere in tne debates. If this tumult is repeated I shall order the galleries to be cleared. Several MEMBERS—Very well. " The resolution of the 15th of July, respecting which the difference of opinion between the Chamber and the Ministers was manifested, was discussed in the Council, and proposed to the King with a full conviction of its legality, and its great political importance. " We have thought it our duty to state these several circum strnces to justify our retiring from the Ministry, though the vote on an isolated question did not imply in our eyes a want of confidence in the Chamber, with respect to the whole con duct of the Government, and a denial of future co-operation. " The Minister of the Interior and Foreign Affairs, (Signed) " DE THEUX." After this Message had been read, M. Goude having made a few remarks, said that the proposition being useless since the Ministers had resigned, it was withdrawn. Advice from Constantinople of the 17th ult., from Athens of the 19th, and from Smyrna of the 22st uh. have been received. From the Turkish capital the news is confined to the New-year's-day address of the SULTAN to the Council of i Ministers ; their Excellencies' answer ; and the Imperial Hatti Sheriff for the dis missal of the Greek Patriarch, copies of which will be found in another column. It is impossible not to admire the good intentions of the SULTAN, who has already devolved upon It:s Council the shadow of the functions of a Parliament. Whether there is sufficient vitality in the political body to recover its pristine energy under any treatment, is doubted by many ; but allowing such to be the fact, it does not detract in the least from the admiration due to the youthful Reformer, and should incline us the more to pay him the homage of our sympathy. In the affair of the Patriarch, England has obtained the fullest reparation. His disgrace created a great sensation in Greece, where it was rumoured that Russia would support him to the last, and that therefore he could afford to laugh at the threats of Lord PONSONBY. The Pacha, in the midst of his warl►ke preparations, has renewed his professions of loyal devotion to the PORTE, and proposed a settlement of all diff..!rences without the intervention of the Great Powers. On Tuesday the French Minister of Public Works presented to the Chamber of Deputies a Project of Law for the formation of several extensive lines of railroad in France. The lines to be first made are the projected toads from Paris to Orleans, from Strasburg to Basle, front Montpelier to Nismes, and from Lille to the Belgian frontier. The French Patters bring deplorable accounts of the state of public feeling in Switzerland. On the 3d inst. the Cantons of Upper and Lower. Valois were at open war, and in one encounter several lives were lost. The village of Gremisuan was taken and retaken on the Ist instant., at the point of the bayonet, after a very severe conflict. More than twelve thousand men were under arms. The cause of quarrel was an attempt on the part of the Upper Canton to occupy the villages of Evolenoz and Hendaz, which had adopted the con stitution of the Lower. We are seriously apprehensive that these disgraceful contests will at last terminate in the destruction of the Republic. A letter from Leghorn of the 2d. inst. announces the arrival there of Prinqe CASTEL CICALA on his way to London, charged with .a special mission from the King of NAPLES to the British Government. There is very little domestic news of any interest in the French Journals of Tuesday. We gather from the African correspondence of the different papers that the French authority was greatly respected within the range of Marshal VALLEE'S guns, but not an inch be yond that. So lately as the 23d ult., the Aabs, afterr their old fashion, had bagged the heads of three of the in. habitants of Douera ; and with respect to the cattle of the French settlers, these children of the desert were carry ing out the appropriation principle to its fullest extent. The Minerva frigate, Captain Keroram, bearing the flag of Rear-Admiral Le Blanc, and the Sappho corvette, Captain Thibault, arrived at Brest on the sth of this month, from the Brazils. The Palinure brig, Captain Cuneo d'Ornans, sailed from Toulon for Tunis, on the sth. On the same day, the Vic torieuse corvette, Captain Norray, arrived at Toulon, from Port au Prince. The Rameses, which arrived at Marseilles on the sth, brought the journals of Smyrna of the 21st of March. The English ship of the line, the Hastings, which has been some days in our roads, has sailed to join the English squadron at Ourlac. The Pembroke, bearing the flag of Admiral Louis, towed by the Gorgon steam-boat, and also the Dido corvette, have also an chored in the roads. Rear Admiral Lalande sends back to France two ships of the line belonging to his squadron, the Jupiter and the Trident. These two ships will sail as soon as the Neptune, the Suffren, and the Alger, which are daily expected, shall have joined the squadron. The Phare des Pyrenees of the 4th of April has the follow ing paragraph •—" A report has been in circulation for some days past that the Infant Don Louis had disappeared from Strasburg. It is feared that this is connected with some projects for an insurrection in the provinces of the North of Spain." The Bishop of Valence has just died.—Le Commerce. 130 U TUESDAY, APRIL 7. THE MARKETS.—(THIs DAV.) HUNGERFORD MARKET. Supplies were moderate, and the demand fair ; prices steady. Turbot ss. to 21s. ; Cod 3s. to 10s. ; Salmon 3s. per lb. Soles 10d. to 4s. per pair , ; Lobsters ls. tti 4S. ; Bea 71d. to 84d,,; Itlutten ild. to 82d. ; Veal Bd. to 9d. ; Pork 7id. to Sid. per lb. Vegetables at previous prices. HAY MARKETS. There were good supplies, and prices, were altered, rather lower. Hay 60s. to 935.; Clover, 90s. to llos. ; Straw, 325. to 425. per load. TALLOW MARKET. The market quiet, and the price of P. Y. C. 51s. to 525. COLONIAL MARKET. Moderate business, and prices steady. B. P. Sugar sold s'owly, without alteration in price. 3,000 bags Bengal, mostly brown, sold in part at 455. to 535. 581 bags Pimento, at 2i f d. to tad. 500 packets Black Pepper, at 3d. per lb., for good quality. 369 bags Malabar Ginger at previous rates. Of Coffee we had only two small parcels in the market for public sale, one of 437 bags Java, 9d. duty, and the other 125 bags Ceylon, which were all bought in. 28 cases of 4 'assia Lignea, sold at 80s. for fair quality. Imports continue light. TEA MARKET. To-morrow being the heavy prompt on Tea, the market was in a very uncertain state as to quotations. The nearest idea that can be given is 2s. Id. to 2s. 2d. cash for low quality of free trade Congou. It is said that there will be some little fur ther indulgence given in reference to the prompt. The Can ton shipping reports are so incomplete, that it is impossible to tell what quantity of Tea is now on the road. Some say it is seven millions of pounds, and others say it is much more. The uncertainty pervading this very vital matter will necessarily re strict operations and render prices uncertain. CRIMINAL COURT.-(THIS DAY.) NEW COURT.

DEATH OF AN ECCENTRIC CHARACTER.-- On Monday morning, Mr. Richard Le Keux, a mathematical instrument makes, chart-seller, and stationer, who had re sided in High-street, Wapping, for the last fifty year 4, after three days' illness, at the age of 85 years. The dec•_•Psed, who had amassed wealth to the amount of upwards of 100,000/. sterling, was noted for his eccentricities and his penurious habits, and a great number of curious anecdotes of this extraor dinary miser are related in the district. He was of French ex traction, and educated in Christ's Hospital, to which institution t is said he has left the great bulk of his fortune. His Royal Highness the Duke of Cambridge, attended by Colonel Jones, on leaving Goodwood, honoured the Countess of Newburgh with his company at dinner, a t Slindon House.

A number of new views were produced on Monday at this exhibition. Some of them are of the first class, and do gre at cre di t to t h e art i st. The V i ews o f the P a l ace o f Zeilebi a i n R u i ns, at Palmyra, of the Conflagration atCon stantinople in 1839, of the Rope Bridge of Penipe, in South Amciica, and of the Lake of Thun, deserve peculiar notice. The Ruins of the Palace far surpass in grandeur •ind magnificence anything that Rome or Athens can ex hibit, and while they equal the vastness of the Temples of Thebes, exceed them far in chaste and elegar4 architecture. The desolation which prevails presents a sad contrast to the scenes which must have been displayed in this vast teat of commerce and arts in the third century, when captured and all but destroyed by the Emperor Aurelian. The Confla gration at Constantinople is a vivid and striking resem blance of an actual fire. The flames are seen bursting up at intervals, and the smoke changing with every gust of wind. The " Lake of Thou" also presents a striking like. ness of the beautiful and grand scenery around that seques tered spot. We cannot say so much for the View of Rome. It does not do justice to the Eternal City. The two Views of Versailles, with the fountains playing, are well exe cuted. On the whole, the exhibition is one of the best we have seen at this place, and cannot fail to be successful. OLYMPIC THEATRE. A new burletta, called Legacy Hunting, was brought out at this commodious little theatre last night. The incidents, for it pretends to no plot, are exceedingly simple. Genera IPlay well ( Mr. Brookes) an eccentric old bachelor, returns from India immensely rich, and only accompanied by a single servant, Sergeant Rigia (M-. Turneur), who had saved the General's life at the storming of Seringapatam, and is, in his way, quite as great an oddity as his master. The fame of General Play well's immense wealth reached England long before his arrival, and Lady Playwell (Mrs. Norton), the wife of his brother, Sir Richard Playwell, (Mr. Baker) resolves that her children, by a former marriage, shall so ingratiate themselves with the old General as to be declared his heirs. Sir Richard Play well was himself a widower when he married his unscrupulqus worldly-minded wife, and has one son, Henry (Mr. Schrivall), and a niece, Fanny (Miss Fitzwalter), to whom that son is secretly married, and who of course are as generous and disinterested as Lady Playwell's children are selfish and unprincipled. In the meantime the crusty old General and his queer attendant arrive at Sir Richard Playwell's residence, and are overwhelmed with attentions ridiculous and annoying, from the ostentatious way in which they are offered. Leonora and Alicia (Miss Treble and Miss Villiers), Lady Playwell's two daughters, pester the fidgetty old General with their fulsome praises and impertinent attentions, while her Ladyship's son Captain Anson (Mr. Halford) disgusts him with his foppery and puppyism. Fanny is, however, the General's fa vourite, and next to her Henry, his nephew. But to put the sincerity of his friends to the test, the old General has a letter addressed to him, in which his agent is made to inform him that the firm in which he invested his whole fortune is declared bankrupt, and that he has only his half-pay to look to for his future support. Hardly are the contents of the letter known before Lady Playwell and her children treat him with the greatest indignity; his brother, his nephew Henry, and his niece Fanny alone declaring that they would not abandon him in his misfortune. As for Sergeant Rigia, he places the •avings of many years in the hands of his old master, and his distress, when he finds the General letermined not to accept his little store, is only equalled by the extravagance of his rugged joy, when he tears that that master is really as rich as he before knew him to have been. It is needless to intimate that Fanny and her hus band Henry are declared sole heirs of their eccentric uncle, and that Lady Playwell is in despair at discovering that she has been completely outwitted. Such is the outline of a piece which would have Oven more satisfaction, had not the performers vied so much with each other in rendering it too farcical. The parts of Lady Playwell and her daughters, as well as that of Nanny, were overdone. l'he Ladies' Club, the Two Greens, and Gwynneth Vaughan, succeeded, to the evident satisfaction of a very well-filled house. The Duke of Wellington gave a sumptuous ban quet last evening, at Apsley House, to her Majesty the Queen Dowager, who w. is attended by Earl Howe and Miss Mitchell. heir Royal Highnesses the Duchess of Cambridge, with Prince George, also dined with his Grace, Lady Augusta So merset and }laron Knesebeck being in attendance on their Royal Highnesses. The Archbishop of York, Countess of Wilton, Lord Burghersh, Lord and Lady Mahon, Sir Astley Cooper, &c , were among the guests. After dinner her Ma jesty the Queen Dowager, accompanied by the Noble and Gallant Duke (the Director of the evening), went to the incient concert, at the Hanover. square Rooms, as also to the Jther guests of his Grace. LORD LYNDHURST.—The answer to the in quiries yesterday at his Lordship's residence, in George-stret t, was, that he was going on well. The Duke of Wellington called yesterday afternoon, and sat with his Lordship some time. The Countess of Belfast is so much improved in health that her Ladyship is expected on a visit to Mr. and Lady Charlotte Talbot, in Belgrave- square, from Leamington Spa. The Earl of Belfast is expected at Fenton's Hotel. The Duke of Devonshire left Devonshire House yesterday morning for Dover, en route to Paris, accompanied by Lord Alfred Paget, with an extensive suite. Lord and Lady Dinorben gave a grand dinner on the 14th ult. to his Royal Highness the Duke of Sussex, at Bute House. The Earl and Countess of Warwick entertained a large party at Warwick Castle, on Saturday, the birth••day of Lord Brooke. The grippe is very prevalent in Paris ; and the same disease called influenza prevails to a great extent in the metropolis. PROPAGATION OF THE GOSPEL IN FOREIGN PA RTS.—A very numerous meeting of the members and friends of the Society for the Propagation of the Gospel in Foreign Parts took place on Wednesday in the Egyptian-hall, at the Mansion-house, over which the Lord Mayor presided. His Lordship was supported on the right by his Grace the Archbishop of Canterbury, on the left by the Bishop of Lon don, and surrounded by the Bishops of Winchester, Bangor, Llandaff, Rochester, Hereford, Norwich, and Nova Scotia ; Archdeacons Pott, Hamilton, and Wilberforce ; Lord Kenyon, and Chief Justice Robinson, of Canada ; the Revs. Dr. Rus sell, Dr. D'Oyley, Hartwell, Campbell, Smith ; Sir Henry Dukinfield, H. Hodgson, Jennings, the Sheriffs, Aldermen Venables, Thompson, Magnay, and Gibbs; Messrs. Labou chere, H. Hoare, Wilson, C. Francis, J. Watson, Powell, Cotton, Twining, Powles, &c. The meeting was addressed by the Lord Mayor, the Rev. Mr. Campbell, the Archbishop of Canterbury, the Bishops of London and Nova Scotia, Mr. Thomas Wilson, Mr. Labouchere, Mr. Sheriff Evans, Arch deacon Wilberforce, Chief justice Robinson, Mr. Manning, Mr. H. Hoare, and the Bishop of Llandaff. By these Right Rev. and Hon. individuals a series of resolutions was moved and seconded. At the termination of the business of the day there was a subscription amounting to the sum of 1,000/. TOTNES ELECTION COMMITTEE.—The Committee, after about an hour's consultation, decided in fa vour of the validity of the objection, and consequently the election is void. The Post informs the public that Benjamin Bond Cabbell, Esq., has been invited to stand for the borough of Marylebone, and that yesterday he declared his readiness to put himself entirely in the hands of the requisitionists, and to proceed to the poll on the first occasion. ROCHDALE CHURCH-RATE.-A great many summonses were issued, on Thursday week, by Mr. Abraham Brierley, the Vicar's Warden, against persons who had refused to pay their Church-rate. Amongst the defaulters were several Quakers, against whom, of late, this impost has not been enforced. Some poor persons have also received sum monses for sums as low as twopence. On Friday, Mr. Heaton, the Solicitor, appeared for them before Mr. Royds and Mr. Chadwick, and protested against his clients being called up to answer the charge after a few hours' notice. Some were not at home, others as well as himself would have to, be at the assizes the week following ; and he requested the hearing of the cases to be adjourned till Monday the 6th of April, which was readily acceded to. The wardens in all the townships in the parish but Castleton, neither have summoned, nor intend to summon, any one for this rate; as both parties, after five days' poll, claimed a majority. Besides, after the time fixed for the con clusion of the poll, the late Vicar extended it for two hours longer; well knowing that, at the time, his party was 50 in a minority. STRIKE IN PLYMOUTH DOCK-YARD.--The newly-entered shipwrights in this dock-yard, sixty in number, finding that they were to be placed in the third class, and to re ceive third-class wages of three shillings and sixpence a day, while at the private yards in the port the pay, on old work, is four shillings, with a quart of beer added, refused to fulfil their contracts yesterday (Friday), and suspended work. They ap pointed a deputation to wait on the Rear-Admiral Superinten dent. After hearing their case, Admiral Warren, with that kindness and consideration for which he is distinguished and beloved by every one under his command, undertook that they should be paid second class wages, which is an advance of six pence a day, until the matter could be laid Before the Lords of the Admiralty for their decision, and the men then immediately returned to their work. It should be stated that the men were only to be placed on the third class for twelve months on proba tion ; and with respect to the difference of pay in the national and private yards, it is but fair to mention that the Government artisans have the advantage of a pension in the event of sustain ing serious injuries while perfonning their duties, being worn out by hard work, and after a certain number of years' service, which advantages they do not possess in private yards. In ad dition to the shipwrights, twenty joiners, twenty sawyers, six teen smiths, and four caulkers have been entered this week, and the remaining vacancies will doubtless speedily be filled up.— Plymouth Journal.

The plaintiff is a carpenterf living at Turley, in this county, and the defendant the rector of the adjoining parish of Blaisdon. it appeu-ed that in the early part of last year a young woman, named Mary Atid Hogg, was living in the service o f fondant as housemaid. }he had for some time previous been intirdete with the plaintiff, stun etas her acknowledge d loier,- and in the C i titn•V? of Marsh last year the Reverend Defendant, having discovered that she was far advanced in pregnancy, dit-• charged her from his service. She was ashamed to return to the house of her father, a respectable farmer in the neigh bourhood, and accordingly went to lodge at the house es a neighbour named Dobbins, till Davis should redeem his promise to make her his wife. lie was an o to lose no time in doing so, and accordingly they went together t Olocester, where he purchased a license to avoid the stela,' which the publication of banns would occasion, and where they also purchased some wedding clothes. They returned tot Blaisdon, and on Sunday, the 7th of April, the plainti ff a pp lied to the parish clerk in the usual way, requesting him to ask the defendant to perform the ceremony on the following day. This the defendant refused to do ; and in answer to repeate d applica tions persisted in the refusal, but without giving any reason for it. The plaintiff next complained to the registrar of the dio cese, who wrote to the defendant to request an explanation of his conduct. The letter of the defendant, in reply, was read. It charged the young woman and the plaintiff with improper conduct in defendant's house, while the former was in his service, but defendant declined entering into particulars, consi dering himself accountable for his conduct to his diocesan only. In consequence of this answer, Dr. Maddy, the Chancellor a nd and Principal Surrogate of the diocese, was applied to, he wrote to the defendant, explaining to him that the gr ounds he had stated for his refusal to marry these parties were in sufficient, and calling upon him for any additional reasons for his conduct which he might have to offer. To this letter, Mr. Black, on the 21st of April, wrote the following reply' —" Reasons, my dear Sir, as, Falstaff says, `are plenty as blackberries; but I will give no I.:an a reason on compul sion.' I refer you to Canon Iol—' No license shall be granted but to such persons as be of good state An d quality.' The parties alluded to in your letter do not answer this descrip tion. Ergo, the licence is Licenses as •e not cos" nulsory ; but only an exemption f r rom certain penaltie:• Th e j t do not control the power of the clergyman, which is and ou g ht to be discretionary." The refusal bring still persisted in, t'le plaintiff caused the hanns between himself and the yeuut; woman to be published in Turley Church; they were read for the third time on the 19th of May. On the 'lst of May , within a few hours before the intended celebration of the marriage, labour came on, and the young woman was con fined with a female child, which is still living, but the mother died the same evening. The plaintiff now brought this action to recover compensation for the loss he had sustained by the defendant's retusal to marry him. No attempt was wa d !, to justify that refusal ; it was admitted by his Counsel, W, laid down distinctly by the Learned Judge, that he had no right so to refuse. If a clergyman thinks a license improperly obtained, he may delay the celebration of the mar riage, in order to ascertain the fact, but he is not entitled, on reasons evidently insufficient, to deny to his parishioners that which is a common law right. The Learned Counsel pressed strongly on the jury the power of legalizing a marriage by going through a form before a lay registrar does nut the less entitle parties to the sanction to the marriage ceremony, derived from its being also an act of religious worship. Mr. Justice PATTESON left it to the jury to say what damages the plaintiff N. as entitled to, observing that it was an action such as he •had never heard of before, and that the right to sustain it would probably be matter for decision before higher tribunal. The Jury immediately returned a verdict for the plaintiff, with 100/. damages. WESTERN CIRCUIT—TAUNTON, APRIL 6. The Nisi Prius Court has been crammed all day by persons anxious to hear the:case of " Davis v. Templeton." t was a n action brought by the proprietor of the theatres in the western, district against Mr. Templeton, the singer, for a breach 01 contract, the latter having engaged to sing, accompanied The Miss Romer, at several of the plaintiff's theatres. The " stars" were " posted" and " billed" all over the country' hut Mr. Templeton having been engaged at Bristol, was cm* . pelled to decline appearing at the plaintiff's theatres, thereby, occasioning very great disappointment to the public, considerable loss to the manager. The damages were laidan ! a‘ 500/, but the defendant had paid 40/. into Court. Just before the cause was called on the counsel put their wigs toge ther, and it was evident something like an adjustment was about . to take place, and at length it was announced that the part!t? had consented to a verdict being taken for the plaintiff, wil9 30/. damages.
