TURKEY AND EGYPT.
CIW.TNTINOPLII:I&T 14.
The press, which hitherto has enjoyed s ea-
limited liberty in Turkey, has been subjecteitswais•
important restrictions. A memorandum has bus
addressed to the legations stating, that in future Av. •
reiguers exercising the tradeofprinting must not print
any books or pamphlets in the Turkish language
except such as are authorimed by the government,
and no works in foreign languages can be printed
without a previous authorisation to print from the
Sublime Ports.

We read in the Coortitutionne/:
Our orrreepondence from Constantinople, of the 16th,
confirms whet Ste Mee already miff of approbation ghee
by the Porte to the arrangement concluded at Cairo, be-
tween Abbas Psalm and Fund Effendi, relative to the opph-
nation of the tansimat In Egypt. The ratification has
I been watt as well as ea order for Fuad Effendi
to return immediately to Constantinople. Abbas
Pads has thus obtained more than England demanded for
him ; he retains the right of life and death for seven years,
while Sir Stratford Canning was content with three. Atter
this it is thought that the Pacha of Egypt will be more in-
clined to yield on the subject of the arrangements with the
beano( the Viceroy, and aloe on the subject manner in which
the Porte henceforth Intends to dispose of the annual tribute
of Egypt to facilitate her new financial operations with
Europe. There is every reason to believe that Abbas
Paths, satisfied with the concession which he has obtained
on the principal point, will show himself tractable on all
the rest, which he has always considered as only secondary
questions. There was a report that the Greeks had obtained
a firman,at the instigation of Russia, which would again un-
settle the question of the holy places. In this firman, which
would annul the concessions recently obtained by France,
the claims of the Latins are said not to be founded on right,
and that all which has been granted to the Greeks since
1740 will be fully confirmed.

cholla, died at Bucharest, on the sth inst. Thirty
brigands under Calamata lately fell upon the village

peasants, and afterwards made off with their booty.

THE ELECTIONS.

SANDWICH ELECTION.

The polling took plaoo yesterday, and at the close,
at 4 o'clock, the numbers were es follows :
Lord Clinton
Captain French

Mijority.... 188

Apeley PeUatt, the large glass
manufacturer, of Holland-street, Illackfriars-road, has an-
nounced himself a candidate for the representation of this
borough. He declares himself in favour of free trade, an
extension of the suffrage, the ballot, abort parliaments,
abolition of the property qualification, revision of the in-
come tax, customs reform, and perfect religious equality.
He adds, " I stand pledged to vote for the abolition of May-
nooth and all other grants for religious purposes, as well
as fin the extinction of canon law and of ecclesiastical
courts."
leswien.—Mr. J. C. Cobbold, M.P., who was sent
to parliament as a protectionist at the last general election,
and Mr. Samuel Batmen, the new Uerby candidate, met
the conservative elccto,e at the New Assembly Booms on
Thursday evening, and addrvs.ed them at great length in
explanation of their present political seutimenta.—Mrll. O.
Busti moved a resolution to the following ad' ct : "That
we fully approve of the sentiments in the addresses deli-
vered by the candidates, and that wo pledge ourselves to do
the utmost in our power to secure their return to parlia-
ment as our representatives at the ensuing election."—Mr.
J. Christie seconded the proposition.—The chairman, in
putting it to the meeting, saw that a minority of hands
were held up against its adoption; but, as he said, their
opponents had held up two hands instead of one, and as
such, he was content In believing, in his own mind, that
every conservative in the room approved of the declaration
that had been made in the resolution proposed. The meet-
b( then dispersed.
-EDINSUROII.—A new movement has sprung up in
this city, in Sir James Graham's favour • and at a meeting
held on Wednesday, Major Moir in the chair, the following
resolutions were agreed to :-Ist. That this meeting consi-
der it to be a matter of the lest importance to the dignity
and prosperity of the capital of Scotland to secure repre-
sentatives universally admitted by their countrymen to
possess the qualifications of exalted intellect, large expe-
rience, and liberal political views; and they attar a respect-
ful recommendation to their fellow-citixens to subscribe the
requisition to Sir James Graham, which will be presented
for the purpose by sub-committees of their number.

EPSOM RACES.

THE OAKS.

The Oahe is to a Derby what a drawing-room
is to a levee ; the latter pertains to the sterner sex only,
at the former the ladies take precedence—and thus the day
when fillies only contend for the great prise, is generally
complimented by an unusual attendance of the fair sex.
That the Grand Stand was less graced yesterday than on
many former omissions, may be accounted for rather by
the doubtful state of the weather than from any inclination
to depart from a time-honoured custom. The Marchioness
of Aylesbury, the Countess of Chesterfield, the lion. Mrs.
Aaron, and many other ladies whose presence at the lead-
ing race meetings is generally looked for, were there, it is
true, but it must be confessed there was a lack of those gay
sad brilliant colours which, in the olden time, when racing
was almost entirely confined to the aristocracy, invariably
enlivened the scene on the Oaks day at Epsom. The
weather, although dull, was favourable, and the attendance
of the higher climes was much greater than
on Wednesday.
The racing commenced with the Member's Plate, which
brought out only three ecaupetitere, sad did not excite the
slightest interest. To this succeeded the great event of the
day, on which the bettbsg, from the time the ring was
formed to its breaking up, was very animated ; John
Scott's party, emboldened by their success on Wednesday,
laying out their money with so much spirit and in such
large sums that at the breaking up of the ring 2 to I was
taken greedily. Red Rind rose to Bto 1, And Troutman
to 7 to 2, taken ; the latter, however, at the last, receding
to 4 and 6to I. Bird-on-the-Wing, who at one time was
backed at 6to 1, left off friendless. The start was fixed
far three o'clock; but, owing to the fraetiousness of the
Duke of Richmond's mare, who was got to the post with
great difficulty, and threw away a capital chance by jump-
sag round the moment the flag was down, did not take
place until • quarter past. The sue, like the Derby, west
into John Scott's stable by the assistance of Songatrees, who
has thou added another Ward to the wreath of the cele heated
Irish Birth:etcher, whose produce, after winning the Derby,
wereto-day first, second, and third. Frank Butler, who rode
hie first Derby winner on Wednesday, has now won the
Oaks all times, and four times in succession. The Woe of
the race adds very largely to the winnings of the gentlemen
who stood on Daniel 0 Rourke, and ta not by any means
favourable to the round betters. Mr. Davie, it is said, has
again lost a considerable stake. Of the other races, it is
saMcient to my that they made a most excellent day's
sport, and, coupled with an immense company, made this
tLebest Oaks day that it has been our duty to attend for

many years.
A comparison of the results of the week with those of
lad year show a great falling off, both in the ticked for
the Grand Stand and the money paid for the admission of
carriages within the rem. Thu is no proof, however,
that the public interest in the Derby has declined. Two
exceptional circumstances must be taken into account—
first, the Great Exhibition, which so enorns•usly increased
the visitors to the Downs in 1831 ; and secondly, the rain
on the Derby day, which kept se many thousands away.
The general preparations' as well on the course as on the
Grand Stand, exhibited throughout • care and attention
which reflect great credit on Mr. Dorling. The victual-
ling department, under the direction of Messrs. Jacquet
and Woodruff, was remarkably well supplied, and gave
general satisfaction.
The police arrangements, under the direction of Superin-
tendents Hughes and Bicknell, were so judiciously con-
trived, as to prevent confusion and ensure order without
needless interference.
One regret alone we feel called upon to express. It is en
old vexation, the removal of which we had hoped would
have been one of the first improvements among the many
made by Mr. Darling. The public, the jockeys, and the
horses have all received the advantage of his attention : the
press alone has been forgotten. The ode light and accom-
modation for the reporters, from whom so much is expected,
remain as beftre, a candle and • cupboard.
The following is a return of the day's racing :

THY. BOOKIELLEhs Dlsrt*TE.—Ycaterday, a meet-
ing of the Lte,ksellers' Aesocistion was held in the lower
loom, E flail, when the general committee presented
its report, in which the various stages of the recent dispute,
with the refereuee to Lord Campbell and its result, were
given. The committee stated that they regarded the deci-
sion delivered at Strstheden House u binding only on the
committee in its collective capacity, and not as precluding
lta wisher, born taking part is any ulterior deliberations
wluch may appear desirable. Judgment being against them
they reeigaesl, leaving the trade to determine upon the
course to be taken. The meeting was long and turbulent.
The pressure of parliamentary intelligence compels no to
omit a fuller report.
A MisTAILE AT NIANCHESTZIL—Then in no lack

of seal in the manner the new candidates, Mr. Loch and
Captain Denman, minus their canvas.. On Thunday,
Captain Denman coming out of the Queen's Hotel, Man-
chester, and seeing Mr. Loch in conversation with a plea-
sant looking gentleman on the steps, went and seized the
stranger by the hand, and immediately amassed him for
" his vote and interest." " It's rather awkward," said his
coileagur, when they had got away, " you should have
fallen into that mistake." 'What mistake ? 1 inquired
the gallant captain. " Why (returned Mr. Loch) that
gentleman you have just asked for his vote is the Right
lion. Thomas Milner Gibson, one of the sitting members!"
The story has given rise to a good deal of amusement ; but
Captain Denman, we learn, like a true sailor, can afford
to laugh at his own blunders, and told the story himself to
the neat mating of electors whom he addressed. 1
APOTHECARIES' HALL—Names of gentlemen who

are also informed that in the new list of money order offices
recently forwarded to them it was erroneously stated that
Oldbury was served from Dudley, instead of from Birming-
ham, sad that Cranbourn was served from Dorchester, in-
stead of tram Salisbury. The necessary corrections must be

EITRACTION OF GOLD FIIO3I TILE ORE.-lAat
night Dr. Perry, of the Museum of Economic Geology, de-
livered a lecture at the Royal Institution on the extraction
of gold from its ores. The lecturer remarked that the
term gold ore was correctly applied, and that the familiar
notion of the purity of gold in its native state was un-
founded. For the most part gold was found associated
with silver, but occasionally it occurred in combination
with iron or tell/alum. Gold, according to Dr. Percy, has
been extracted commercially front many parts of the Bri-
tish Isles. In the reign of Henry 111. gold workings
existed in Cumberland, and in 1796 the celebrated gold
workings net Wicklow were productive; a piece of native
gold weighing 22 ounces having been found in that locality.
After sketching the general distribution of gold, end stating
the tonditions of its occurrence, Dr. Percy gave a description
of the various modes of extraction which may be resolved
into the mechanical sad the chemical. The former consists
in various processes of washing by water, either in bowls
worked by the hand, or on tlei larger scale by machines.
The next development of the process consists m agitating
the washed gold ore with mercury, by which an amalgam
becomes genereed. The chemical memos depend on the
tendency to combine with gold possess d by melted lead and
iron, and the capability of aqueous chlorine to dissolve
finely divided gold. The latter principle has been taken
advantage of in Hungary, and answers perfectly for certain
descriptions of auriferous sand. With regard to the pro.
ten of smelting gold quarts, in contradistinction to amal-
gamating it, Dr. Percy explained the principles on which
such smelting operation to be successful must depend.
Fluidity must be given to the quarts by fusion with oxide
of iron, and the gold must be abstracted by the addition of
load.
11CTT oN FOREIGN BOOKS.—Yesterday wu
printed, in a parliamentary paper, a copy of a memorial ad-
dressed by the Society of Arts to the government respecting
the remiseion of duty on foreign books. The society is of
opinion that the impirt duty on foreign books is so heavy as
nearly to extinguish the circulation of such books in this
country, while it yields co mat( fist addition to her Ma-
jesty's revenue. The amount of duty received on this head
was highest in 11316, when it amounted to no more they
10,492 e; that it sank in 1147 to 9,201/. ; in 1818 to 8,8132. ;
in 1519 to 7,7621.; and in 1846 to 7.7511. The memorialists
ootrUiler that if the duty was abolished it would add greatly
to the advancement of the sciences, arts, industry, sod ge-
neva' intelligence of the nation without damage to her Ma-
jostv's exchequer.
MAIL kiTEAM-PACIEETS ARMAIUNT.—An Admi-
ralty shipwright surveyor, a principal gunnery officer from
