We, therefore, wish to throw out this question for the considgration of Parliamentary reformers how, if al constituencies are to be large ones; the House of Commons is to b 3 supplied with the class who are to rise up to be our future Ministers ? And whether, unless some means of ready entrance into Parliament be not kept or provid.-.d for such, we are not in danger of being reduced to one of the three following alternatives —none of which are contem plated or .will be much relished by reformers—of having to find our future Ministers, either among those wealthy young aristocrats who can enter Par liament early by virtue of the property influente of themselves or their friends in couurie:ci ; or out of the House of Lords; or, by a new constitutional ro vision, out of a class of professional politicians not in Parliament by popular election et all ? Whether, in a ivord, the multiplication of large and the de stlnction of small conAituencies would not, in its inevitable operation, b 3 the most aristocratic or the most bureaucratic of all innovations.

BETTS'S PATENT BRANDY has ever since its introduction to the public been recognised, both by scientific men and the trade, as the best article ever manufactured in this c mntry. Its claims 'o such pre-eminence are based upon its unri valled purity, and its cl-ser assimilation than any other to the flavour of the finest Champagne Brandy. There has been no Brandy made from wine in France, either in the present year or in the preceding one. Owing to the successive failures of their vintages, the French wine grower gets a higher price for his wine, consumed as such, than he can realise by its being distilled into Brandy ; and forasmuch as the foreign Brandy of recent impor tations is but the product of British grain and beetroot spirits, the prestige hitherto exclusively enjoyed by French Brandy as having been distilie from a particular French wino no longer exists, and is no longer worthily assignable to it now that it bunglingly made from other materials. The supply of wine far distillation into Brandy having failed, the French distiller is constrained to recur to a manu facture in which he needs the quarter of century's experience which has been exercised upon that of BE I TS'S PATENT BRANDY, to render his article respectably competitive, and he has not had it. Under these circumstances the Messrs. Betts challenge that their PAT , •••NT BRANDY is superior to any now made abroad. It is t the interest of' the public and the Messrs. Betts that these facts should be widely spn ad, for recent importations are of a quality so Inferior as to di grace the name they bear, and are twice the price of BETTS'S PATENT BRANDY, which is supplied by the trade, in consuled bottles, to private families in any quan tity, down to the single bottle. Excise regulations prevent its sale rom the Distillery, 7, Smithfield-bars, St. John-street, in any less quantity than two gallons. By Authority of the French Consul-General.—Notice Is hereby given, that the following SALE of PRESERVED BEEF will be the last on account of the French Government.

DEATH OF MR. S. WALKER, LATE OWNER OF TVJMKFIELD. Yesterday Mr, G. 3. Brent, Deputy-Coroner for Middlesex, and a highly respectable jury, assembled in the Coffee-room of the Shepherd and Flock, High-street, Marylebone, to inquire into the circumstances attending the melancholy and premature death of Mr. Stephen Walker, aged 44, late landlord of the Queen's Head in the same street, and owner of the celebrated race horse Winkfield. The first witness called was Mr. Samuel Walker, landlord of the Oxford Arms, Lower-road, Islington, who stated that on Thursday last, about mid-day, on his return home from visiting his son, who kept .a public-house in Church-street, Lisson-grove, know ing that deceased had not been in good health since the Metropolitan Race at the Epsom Spring Meeting, when he told him " that if he did not take care be would kill himself," he (witness) called to see bow he was. He found him in his bedreom in a most excited state calling upon his Maker to have mercy upon him, at intervals appearing sensible, and remarking to witness, " You'll be my executor, Sam." " Steve (his son under the witness's care, being only seven years old), there's the little driver (meaning, it is suppr,eed, the horse Winkfieli), stick to it."

He arrived at Whitestown at 5-30 p.M., making the distance in twelve hours and a hal: The Albany horse was a quarter of a mile behind." THE MARCII UPON lICIRAZJOO.Y. ( From the Bombay Telegraph.) We have abstained for a considerable time from commenting upon Sir James Outram's march upon Burazjoon, and the subsequent engagement at Koosh-ab. We were averse to condemning this military movement until we h4d perfectly studied it ; and we were disinclined to deuounce as a defeat what the pen of Sir James Outram had proclaimed a victory. A sense of 'duty and justice, however, compels us to speak of things as they occurred ; to place facts before our readers instead of fiction ; and to show that General Out ram's army was panic stricken and disorganised on its return to Bushire. It is evident from his own despatches that the ex pedition to Burazjoon was a movement which scarcely uny circumstances' could justify ; and ac-, cording to his own showing, his leaving Bushire almost totally undefended for the sake of giving . battle to an enemy 46 miles off, was one of those wild acts of insanity which no heroism can extenu ate and no victory justify. We are told in his de spatches that after a march of 46 miles in 41 hours, during which the troops were exposed to the worst of weather, cold nights, and dalliging storms of rain, they reached the enemy's entrenched position on the afternoon of the sth, and found it aban doned. The enemy, on hearing our approach, had evacuated his entrenchments the previous night so precipitately that his tents and camp equipage and ordnance magazines were left behind. The former were being rapidly carried off by village plunderers operating for some hours before we arrived. I en deavoured to intercept the retreat of some of Eilk hanee's Horse, who had held the camp during the night, and were still in sight, and a little skirmish ing took place, but eventually they made off. The General says the enemy left behind his camp equi page, tents, and ordnance stores ; but in the next paragraph he tells us that his guns were withdrawn to the strong passes, which leads us to the conclu sion that the tents, (IN., were not of any great value. Indeed the enemy seems to have abandoned his posi- 1 tion more for the purpoie of carrying out a well plane ed strategy tiv.nfrom any fear of the advancing column. Knowing that (ha position could not be maintained for any length of time the enemy sagaci ously evacuated it, leaving just enough of bait in the trap to occupy our troops until he had perfected his strategy, which was to attack the expedition on its march back to Bushire in the rear and on both flanks. The measures of the Persian general were beautifully planned and admirably carried out—so well, in fact, that had it not been for the determined bravery of our soldiers, General Outram and his army would have been annihilated. On the night of the 7th the return march was commenced ; and, quoting again from General Outram's . despatches, "at midnight an attack was made upon the rear guard by the enemy's horse, and parties threatened the line of march upon every side. The troops were halted, and so formed as to protect the baggage, and resist the horsemen in whatever direction they might attempt to charge. Four of the enemy's guns of heavy metal opened their fire upon the column, whilst the darkness of the night prevented any steps being taken to capture them." According to the General's own confession he seems to have marched from Burazjoon without having the least idea of the enemy's whereabouts. The crack of his guns on the rear girird was the first intimation be receive of the proximity of an army, numbering, according to his own account, neatly 7,000 men. In his despatches he tacitly admits that he was out flanked. The enemy's guns thundered. upon his rear, and his horsemen seem to have encircled him, as we find that the British general was obliged to halt his troops so that they might resist the cavalry "in whatever direction they might attempt to charge." From midnight untdl dawn our troops lay on the cold and damp ground, not knowing the moment when they might be attacked and cut to pieces. As soon as day broke, the Persian force was discovered on our l e f t rear in order of battle, which was a very' fortunate thing indeed ; as for anything we could have done to prevent it, the whole army might have been half-way on its march to Busbire, and nothing could have prevented the place from being recaptured. The Persian general, however, no doubt imagined the city to be strongly garrisoned, and preferred risking a battle to exe cuting a coup-de-main which would have renderedh's name immortal. With his vast numbers of cavalry, it would have been impossible for Gen. Outram to have °vet taken him or saved the city ; but Shooja ool-Moolk, like St. Arnaud and Raglan after the battle of the Alma, was as ignorant of the strength of Bushire as were those of that of Sebastopol. The Persians seem to have fought well, but after a few hours' fighting they were compelled to retreat. General Outram says they 4 ( fled in a disorganised state, generally throwing away their arms, which strewed the field in vast numbers, and nothing but the paucity of our cavalry prevented their total destruction." This statement, according to his own despatches, sounds extremely improbable. If the Persians were in such a disorganised state how did they manage to carry away sixteen guns out of eighteen ?—the arms which strewed the ground in such vast numbers belonged, we imagine, to the 700 men who lay dead upon the field of, battle. After a short bivouac wo are next told that " the greater portion of the infantry continued their march to Bushire, which they reached before midnight." What does General Outram mean by the " greater portion of the infantry ?" and how was it that the artillery, cavalry, and infantry did not all march together ? The following letter from an officer on the staff left with the force for the protection of Bushire, will best explain the manner in which the victorious Army returned to camp. It was but little woud:er, we think, that the inhabitants of the place Imagined from their appearance that they had sus tained a severe defeat : " Bushire, Feb. 13. " My dear * * * )—We got up here all right, - when General Outram immediately set about sending a force into Burazjoo n , a place 40 miles inward, where a whole lot of Si;baz had assembled in force, and were talking bib about attacking the camp ; so the force, with the 78th High landers and 26th Regiment lately arrived from Bombay, started on the evening of the 3d, and left the batteries in camp in charge of the naval brigade—the Semiramis, Clive, Falkland, Euph rates, and gunboa , s, with Jacks and Marines all ashore. On the rit ate .troop marched in Benz and found the Persians had made a hasty re treat, tfo-' ...Lug their guns with them, but leaving all their ammunition behind, and a large store of wheat and barley, The ammunition was all blown up, some tons of powder and heaps of shot and shell. It was blown up by Hassard, of the 2d, and Hag gard, of the Actillery, with two of Jacob's rifle shell s . Th ey fi re d at it at 70 yards ; and the con cussion sent them and the rifles flying into the air, bat without hurting them. They then left Buraz joon wit h the prize property ; and that night the enemy i *allowed us up, and attacked our rear ; on winch t . tr,e army formed 4 square round the prize 'Prqed y, and all lay down. flat on their bellies till the morning, when they went in at the Persian treopi—the 3d cavalry, Poona horse, and artil lery braving the battle. The Persians formed square, and the cavalry charged clean through it : went threes about on the other 'side, and charged back'; threes about and back again a third time ; theartilleryalso playing upon the square. All sly that the cavalry charge was one of the most splendid ever witnessed. They left about.l,ooo dead on the field ; and the quan'ity of wounded must have been immense. , Our troops had to • come back into camp by a forced march ; and were four hours coming through the Marshella,' a swamp Some—in fact all—came hack in a dreadful state ; they were pa,mic-struck as they :neared our camp—men came in in masses of mud, dropping from fatigue. They were all singing out that the enemy wereattacking the rear, and crying out t o pass the worifer the cavalry and Poonahorso, but they were in the rear coming in with the two captured guns And prizes. We were kept-at our guns till nearly mid night ; and I kept trailing my gun from one side to another, according as we heard the volleys of the stragglers coming in ; and no end of cries that the enemy are coming in the rear. Wite - m. the bugle was sounded three of us went. out, armed, to pick up stragglers. One, wounded man was bundled out of his dhooly, the bearers running away, leav ing the poor fellow on the ground with the calf of his leg shot off by a round shot. I returned, and , took him, back in a dhooly, but he died just after he came in. We wire out till two in the morning, having picked up ten unfortunate devils, who could not move, some of them asking us to. let them die. The General had a severe fall from his horse when. the troops were attacked at Ii(!osh-ab, and was in 'sensible for two hours, but he came in all right in the afternoon, and went out again when the alarm occurred, and met us on our way back. lie thank ed us personally, saying it was most kind, &to. Nett morning I went out to meet the - force coming in, the rearguard,of the army, and as the cavalry came in by twos and threes, and salaamed to.us, they drew their swords in triumph, crying out Dekho Sahib,': and there they were, sure enough, blades and hilts, all smeared in blood, and their white belts bespattered all over; they must have made a most glorious charge. Poor Frankland, of the 2d Europeans,• was made Brigade Major of Cavalry, to go out with them, only the day before they started, and in the charge he cut down' three men, but the fourth shot him dead, right in the bridge of the nose, the ball' penetrating int) the head. Our loss was only, as far as I can learn, four er six killed, and about from forty to sixty wounded, but it is not as yet rightly known. They speak very well on the whole of the Persian troops, and, especially of their artillery. Certainly the two guns that were captured were as good as any of ours—horses, harness, limbers, and all in very fine order. They have got 25 prisoners, two of whom they say are Russians. The Sukh el-Mulk,' who commanded the Persian army, nar nowly escaped being taken himself, escaping with out his hat. And going back with a' hare head in this country, I suppose you are well aware, is a disgrace." TBE PERSIAN WAR. (From an Occasional Correspondent of the Times.) CAMP BEFORE BITSHIRE, FEB. 25. Since my last communication little of interest has occurred in this quarter worthy of being re corded. Owing to the non-arrival of the remaining portion of the Second Division, which was confi dently expected here ten days ago, as well as in consequence of the strong north-westerly gales which have prevailed, and which have prevented all int.rcourse with the shipping in the harbour, the Mohammerah expedition has been delayed. The thy before yesterday, however, it was found practicable to get the Semiramis and Berenice steamers under way. They took in tow the Ocean Monarch and the Futtey Mobarek, with one bat tery of artillery, a corps of dooly-bearere, stores, &a., as also three gunboats. These will be dropped near the estuary of the Shatt-001-Arab, there to awaitthe remaining part of the force destined to capture and garrison Mohammerah. The steamers will return immediately, and the Hon. Mr. Mur ray, who goes up in the Berenice, will be made over to the Comet, which will take him as far_iS Basra, whence he is to make his own way to Bag dad. Captain Kemball, resident at Bagdad, arrived here a few days ago, and reports that the garrison of Mohammerah has been increased, and that 13 guns have been mounted in the embrasures of the forts. The Arabs in that quarter appear to be in anxious expectation of •our approach, which, it is to be feared, will be the signal of a general rising of the tribes against their Persian master. It will re quire a little diplomacy to prevent these wild clans from committing every kind of excess, and at, the same time to keep on good terms with them our selves. The latter is absolutely necessary to the success of our operations generally, for one great object in seizing Mohammerah is to open out the resources of that district to the wants of our army. The officers employed in procuring baggage cattle report that 5,000 camels will be ready in the course of a fortnight. Mules also are being bought up at Bagdad and Mosul, but I fear it - wilt be seve ral months ere a number sufficient to enable our army to advance from Bushire is procured. This; perhaps, is the less to be regretted, since without large ad dit ional reinforcemen s, especially European, it would be imprudent to think of advancing beyond Shiraz. The operations of our General are, indeed, even now very much crippled tor want of troops. The entire army, when the whole of the Second Division arrives, will not amount to more than 10,000 men of all arms. From 3,000 to 4,000 of these will advance to Mohammerah, and a good moiety of that number must remain to garrison it. I believe that an advance thence to Shuster and Dizful might easily be made with the co-operation of the tribes, but such a course would be worse than useless unless Sir James could leave adequate gar risons in those places. He cannot detach more men from before Bushire while the enemy maintain their poSition below the passes. Rumour gives their numbers there at from 5,000 to 2;000 men, with 8 or 30 guns, and reports still prevail (,f many regiments being on their way from Isaphan a3d Teheran. Again, the Bazaar report is that this Serkesheekshi Bashi, or Commandant of the King's body-guard, in company with Hama Mirza, the Shah's uncle, is on his way from Teheran, em powered to conclude a treaty of peace. If this is really the case, and we are able to secure even our principal objects, I trust that no 13:ine of contention will be raised on our side, and that an end may be made of this war. On the ether hand, however, should no such overtures be made by Penia, we must, as far as I can see, be prepared for a serious struggle ; and, if Herat is the stumbliugblock, that must, be removed out of the way by our taking possession of it. Averse as England and India may be to undertake military operations in that quarter, she will ultimately be - driven to it, since it is not difficult to foresee that the eventua lities of the war in this direction may lead to the occupation of Herat by Russian troops. We should seek to strengthen Peisia, and that we might more readily do by holding Herat than by any other means. We could then afford to be le:s suspicious of the Persians, and perhaps more generous towards them, than we have been, despite their insincerity and perfidy. Why Affghanistan should be such a bugbear to the English public no military man ap pears to understand. Our position on the Indus is now totally different from what it was at the period of our disastrous retreat, and the Affghana themselves know us better. Besides, what security have we, in the actual circumstances of the reign ing dynasty there, that after the demise of the Dost one or more of the aspirants to the musnud will not seek the protection of the Persians, or even of the Russians, against British interests in Affgban istan After-reports from the adjoining neighbourhood lead us to believe that many more of the Persians were killed at the battle of Kooshab than we our selves believed. Hundreds of the wounded were said to be strewn near the river Daliki, and from all accounts the blow then struck has quite disor ganised the army under Soojah-col-Mcolk, who, if rumour speaks truly, has been displaced from his command. It is now becoming the prevailing opi nion that the Persians will not again meet us sPn the plain, but in ease of our approach will retiero into the passes, and there dispute our onward gress.

Parliamentary reform is a question 'which is certain to be brought before this Parliament, and it is a question which will perplex many statesmen and divide probably more than one party. We do not for a moment pretend to believe that at present the country is conscious of any necessity for organic changes, or feels much interest in their discussion. The cry has been scarcely heard at this general election ; the subject has " been mentioned in a few electioneering addresses and on a few hustings only. But we must not forget that the Government which was in power when the war broke out, and of which many of. the present Ministers were members, had promised and prepared a Reform Bill ; and Lord John Russell considered himself in honour bound to bring. it forward, and was only with the utmost difficulty persuaded to postpone it during the absorbing exigencies of the war ; and that if the existing Government does not introduce the subject voluntarily, Lord John is sure to force it on the attention of Parliament. We do not expect any action on the question this year—the broken session will be reason enough for its postponement ; but the year 1858 must inevitably see it broached, to say the lest, and the discussion will form one of those difficulties in Lord Palmerston's path to which we hitve above referred: For it cannot be. denied that the Liberal party are by no means consentaneous in their views of the mature and extent of the reform measure which is needed and would be safe ; and it is not improbable that the Conservatives may start an opposition reform pro gramme of their own. We have no intention of entering upon the ques tion till it comes regularly before the public. No man in his senses can doubt that many improvements on the existing representative system can be con ceived and might be introduced ; but no one who looks to the past in a philosophic temper will feel unduly confident as to what the practical effect of the various provisions of a new Reform Bill might turn out to be. Old predictions have not been se closely verified that we should be eager in hazard ing- new ones. Former hopes have met with too s i g nal disappointment for dispassionate observers to be very ouguine for the future. One satisfac tory result, however, has been elicited by the ge neral election which has just terminated. Our present system, with all its manifest defects and undeniable anomalies, doges enable the country to express its opinion clearly aid forcibly whenever it has an opinion.. No eltctioneierieg orgauisa , ion, however complete—no personal or property influ ence, however strong or however unsparingly ex ercised, will suffice to gag or distort the popular sentiment when general and well defined. In few elections have men be- n seated or unseated so ostensibly and directly in const queue° of their votes and doctrines as in this of 1857. The country may not have been very wise in its judgment, or very profound in its foresight ; but at 'any rate it has done what it wished, said what it meant, and car ried the candidates tit preferred. Another consideration, far too wide and impor tant to be developed here at any length, is stillworth throwing out for the country to ruminate upon at leisure. The prevalent notion among nearly all who contemplate a new Reform Bill i s to transfe l r ar the elective franchise from small co nstituencies to_e go ones—from Caine and Westbury, for eamp o l Birkenhead and Chelsea. Have t ose x wh 1 forward to such a change r eflected on the inevitable impoverishment of the Souse of h e o m m o u n s s t for e offi cialk lie and Ministerial p ur p oses w ic h co nsequence ? Have the y ration of the analogous 100 to the past opt?i changes which have already We must make ourselves clearly taken place ? By usin g the word " impoverish understood. ment" we do not design any the slightest dispa ragement to the character_ or capacity of the men habitually selected by large borough constituencies. But such co nstituencies naturally and rationally , en ough prefer to send up to Parliament fellow citizens whom they know and respect, who have shown their value by long years of local service— who have won honour and esteem by' a life of acti vity, enterprise, and beneficence. It' they do not choose such men, they choose public characters of eminence—men who have won their spurs in past campaigns, and deserved well of their country from their youth upwards. All these will, therefore, necessarily be men who have reached or passed middle life—who cannot and do not wish to enter on a new and laborious career—who will make ex cellent membersof Parliament, as far as good votes, sound judgment, and reliable information are con cerned, but who cannot enter on the toils and training of official life. But as long as our Minis ters are chosen exclusively from among members of Parliament, so long shall we want young men of talent and promise—a reasonable infusion of such at least—to be elected, who can embrace states: manship as a profession, who are enterprising and e nergetic enough to encounter its toils and its chances, and who have time enough before them to THE PROJECTED TURKISH BANK. (From the Times' City Article.)' Nothing has transpired in London lately regard ing the projected Turkish Bink, but advices from Constantinople give further detailS, which enable a clear view to ba formed of the intentions of the Government regarding the entire scope of its opera tions: They confirm the impressions first expressed, and, as they are not Likely to .be repealed or modi fied in favour of any other scheme, since it is said she native houses are ready to take up the conces sion in case it by the capital--- lists of London and Paris, the fel/Wing amersikscl resume will prove useful :—The privileges are for 30 years, and extend over the whole of the Turkish dominions, giving the right of establishing branches in any part of the empire. The capital is to be 10,000.0001., of which 2,500,0001. must be paid., up. The Board are to consist of a Governor,- De puty-Governor, and 24 directors, the Government nominating the Governor and Deputy-Governor and six directors, the remaining 18 directors being elected by the shareholders. The right of issue is for 15,000,000/. 7 with a reserve of one-half in specie. Within six months from the commence ment of business the Bank are to withdraw that portion of the existing State paper circulation which bears interest. This amounts to about 2,700,0001., of which 1,600,0001. carries 6 per cent.,- and. 1,000,000/. 10 per cent. The circulation not bear ing interest—about 2,300,0001.—is to be redeemed within 15 months. The total to be redeemed is, therefore, 5,000,000/. The depreciated specie cur rency, amounting to 4,500,0001., is to be replaced by new silver and copper coinages to be gradually supplied from the Mint—the former with an alloy of 16 per cent., the latter with an alloy of 33 per cent. For the amount of paper currency with drawn ,the Government are to give the Bank transferable Six per Cent. Treasury Bonds, secured by 'a special assignment of the revenues of - the provinces of Koniah and Kutayah, Adrianople and Uskuif, amounting to nearly ],000,0001. per annum. Similar bonds are also to be given for any difference resulting between the value of the depreciated currencies called in and the new coinages issued in its place. Finally, the Board are to have the power of carrying on all legitim4te banking operations in the same manner as the Banks of England and France, and it is to be assumed that the conduct of the general business of the Goiern ment at certain rates of commission is also contem plated as among their most important functions. The whole of these arrangements are creditable to the framers of them, especially as they are charac teriAed by a certain degree of stringency which in dicates that the Government consider that if Turkey is fit to enjoy a National Dank she may properly insist upon dignified conditions which shall mark her emancipation from the hands of those speculators who have hitherto traded upon a dis credit, caused not by dishonesty, but mismanage ment. It is alleged that such hesitation as has yet been manifested in London in taking up the project is to be attributed to dissatisfaction that the Go vernment have not offered more extensive means of gain, such as would be satisfactory to the concoctors of Banks of Credit Mobilier, and also wg that they have retained a considerable amount of control in their, own hands. The terms, however, supposing them to be faithfully upheld, are such as to admit of profits equal to anything that a rational investor could desire, and if more were granted they should operate rather to deter thin to attract. Of course, the gains from the circulatim would be greater if the specie reserve were fixed at one third, instead of one-half, but at the beginning the precaution was a wise one, and it can be modified if experience shall show the safety of the lower amount. With regard to the re demption of the 5,000,0001. of paper circulation, it may be taken for granted that the void created by its withdrawal will be supplied by the mites of the new Biink, while there is also reason to believe t hat a further large quantity of these notes will pass into currency in exchange for some portion of the enormous amount of English and French gold at present understood to be hoarded throughout the empire for want of some safe representative medium. Iu that case it might be possible for the whole pro cess of the redemption of the currency to be car ' reed out without the necessity of a single ounce of bullion being permanently drawn from England or any other country. It is asserted, Moreover, -that there is_a prospect of the Six per Cent. Treasury Bonds held by the Bank being always negotiable at a premium in case of need. At present the in terest bearing portion of the -paper circulation is said to command a premium of 14 for the Six per Cents. and 11 for the Ten per Cents. Upon the question of management most persons will agree, after what has lat ly been witnessed of the course of London boards, that a direction composed of leading merchants selected by English, French, and German shareholders, with an infusion of Govern ment officials in a pro, ortion to fix responsibility upon the Sta , e without c nferring any power of action except such as may be sanctioned by au in depeudeut majority, will at least be equal to any form yet devised. The separate inierests and even jealousies of the mercantile members would prove the best guarantee against any of them being al ' lowed to carry out wild views of their own, and the influence of their respective Governments would be available in united force against any un due assumption on the part of the State or its no minees. Looking at all these features, and at the salutary effect which a regs net ation of the currency and banking systsm of Turkey must exercise in de veloping her coonnerce, particularly with Great Britain, there is every ground for desiring that the concession may be acted upon without delay, either by ourselves or by the native houses, Who are re ported to be anxious to obtain it. An additional satisfaction will he derived from witnessing the un usual fact of a StAe with a depreciated currency meeting its obligations in full—an example strik ingly different from that set by Russia in former times under similar circumstances.
