IN A MEMORIAL to LORD CLARENDON, now under
course of signature in the city of Chester, the in.
habitants of that place thus address the Foreign Se-
cretary :--
" Your memorialists would not on light grounds have
presumed to trespass on yonr lordship's attention, but that
for so doing they will be deemed to possess an ample jus-
tification in the events which have recently occurred, or
are now in progress—viz., the invasion and occupation of
two Turkish provinces by a Russian army, combined with
the plunder of the public treasury, and the conscription of
the militia of those provinces ; the destruction of a divi-
sion of the Turkish fleet under circumstances that have
crested a deep and earnest sentiment of indignation in this
and in other civilised countries; the active and unrelenting
prosecution by the Russian Emperor of these and other
measures of alFressive war, in the presence of the fleets of
England and 1~ ranee, in open defiance of treaties, and in
violation alike of the law of nations, and of the dictates of
humanity. That the highest interests of this country, as
well as its national honour, are indissolubly connected
with the maintenance of the Turkish empire from the un-
principled encroachment on its dominions now in progress,
and with the repression of the lawless designs of Russian
ambition. And that, by his noble and heroic refusal to vio-
late the laws of good faith and hospitality (by betraying the
Hungarian and Polish refugees), the present Sovereign of
that empire has obtained an imperishable claim to be
ranked among the most illustrious defenders of the princi-
ples of freedom, civilisation, and humanity—a claim
which should ensure to him the firm and consistent protec-
tion of the Governments of England and Prance, which
they trust will be extended to him henceforward."
THE LONDON AND NORTH-WESTERN RAILWAY
COMPANY have determined on adopting a system of
quarterly contract tickets between the principal towns
upon their line.
AN OFFICIAL DOCUMENT just issued shows that
in the course of last year there were 1,115 wrecks
off the shores of the United Kingdom, of which 500
were total wrecks.
THE INCOME OF THE CHURCH OF ENOT.AND, as
reported in the census tables, somewhat exceeds
5,000,0001. a year.
TIM PRUSSIAN MINISTER OF COMMERCE has
authorised the opening in the spring of a regular
has of stem conununiestion between lAnatz.iol
and London.
