MANCLAUOIITER STARTATION.,—Yesterday Mr.
Carter held an inquest at the Lambeth workhouse on the
body of Ellen Connor, aged one year and trn months. The
deceased was the child of Patrick and Johanna Connor,
who worked for a shoemaker in Lambeth-walk, and whose
joint tunings were sometimes as meek as 21. per week.

quently neglected then employment. They lodged with
their four children in a garret in China-walk, &ado; the 28th
ult. their landlady hearing the deceased crying found that

horribly neglected condition caused her to *end for the

being to some measure robbed or cheated. This corruption
essocg the so-caned Christians is universal. It is used, like
the state of decayed cities in Turkey, as an argument
against her rule, to which the moral as well es the material
vein is attributed. But it is not true that it is under Turkish
domination that these populations have der aerated, or that
tame cities have decayed. The concurrent testimony of all
witnesses attests that these populations had sunk to the
lowest depths of degradation under the Byzantine Empe-
gen and Patriarchs, and that the Mongol and Tartar laid
these cities waste. It is only true, not that the Ottoman has
deteriorated and destroyed, but that having found moral
' sad material rains, he had done nothing to ameliorate or
reconstruct. At least this reproach was deserved till a quar-
ter of a century ago, fryni which time down to the present
the reforms of the late Sultan Mahmond have been slowly
and unobtrusively, but uninterruptedly, progressing.—
Leiters on Turkey.

A StminzroN.—On Tuesday last a man named
Butler, a servant out of place, residing at Wirksworth, was
on the platform of the Derby Station, and seeing • person
whom he thought he knew, he entered into conversation
with him. The reply which he made to inquiries uto hie
name and residence confirmed Butler in his belief of the
man, and they went to the Melanethun's Head to have •
glass of ale together for "Auld Lang Syne." Shortly
afterwards a third party joined them, and then a fourth,
and in muse of conversation one of the new comers
stated that he was about to invest some money in the People's
Insurance Society, which had an office in Victoria-street,
alleging that he should get five per cent. for it, and that
would pay far better than house property. Placing some
sovereigns on the table, he advised Butler to follow his
exam pie, and having llf. 10s. with him, he did so. The
money was then placed in the hat of Butler's acquaintance,
and he was requested to take can of it whilst the other
party and Butler went to the aloe in Victoria-street, and
made the necessary inquiries and arrangements for invest-
ing it. On getting into the town, Butler's companion sug-
gested that he began to feel rather uneasy in his mind at
leaving his money with a person he did not know, 'adding,
" I suppose, Butler, your brother may be trusted with it ?"
" My brother !" exclaimed Butler, " he is not my brother."
Whereupon his companion urged him to return immedi-
ately to the Melancthon's Head, and take care of the
money, until be returned from the office. It is needless to
add, that on reaching the Melanctboo, the birds had Sown
with the annoy, and that on his returning into the town to
acquaint hid companion, that worthy was non est Omegas ;
and so, the too credulous Butler had to return home minus
his money.—Derby Reporter.
MOSLEM TOLERATlON.—Chriatiane have at all
times bad churches in Turkey, but Turks have rarely been
allowed • mosque in • Christian land. To this day, no
Mussulmas can settle in the Pope's dominions, nor eves
disembark upon the eastern coast of Naples ; though on the
opposite shores of Turkey a Neapolitan may land without
passport, worship Clod in his own way, paying only • poll-
tax of 3 dills., in compensatiow for which be is exempt from
military service.—Letters on Turkey.
A SINGULAR BET.—The foolish practice of betting
sometimes leads to daring and dangerous feats, as was mans-
, tested in • public-house in Stamford a few nights ago. A
man, who was exceedingly anxious to lay wagers, was chal-
lenged by another that he would undertake for a bet of 61.
to do what the other dare not. The bet was accepted, and
the 10s. deposited in the bands of • third party; imme-
diately after which (although there was a large fire in the
pate) the man, who is a coal-porter, disappeared up the
chimney, to the great astonishment of the company. After
ascending a few yards he returned and claimed the money,
which was handed to him.—Stansford Mercury.
MALICIOUS Aar.—On Wednesday, at the Notting-
ham Shire Hall, a lad about 16 years of age, named James
Stone, was charred with throwing a stone at • railway car-
, riage on the Midland Railway, while in motion. As the
train approached New Lentos the prisoner threw • large
stone at • gentleman who was looking out of one of the car-
riage windows. He, however, perceiving the lad throw the
missile drew back, and by that means avoided the blow.
The stoae struck the top of the carriage and rebounded
back to the ground. Had the missile hit the person for
' whom it was intended, there is every probability that it
would have killed him. The magistrates remanded the pri-
'ohm—Nottingham Journal. . .

PAYING BEFORE FIGUTING.—A letter from Vienna
of the sth, in the New Pluesiess Gazette of Berlin, says:—
. It is worthy of remark that several Turkish anu Walla.
chi's' merchants have arrived here to pay their debts. This
is a ease which eeveral times occurred during the wars of
Turkey with a European power. Turks have been seen to
coma and pay their debts at the risk of their lives in cross-
lag *met the enemy's camp. Examples of this have bean
known at Peaty, at Vienna, and at Trieste."
