HISTORY AND PROPHECY.-011 Tuesday last Mr.
O. F. Holroyd, the eoeservative candidate far Noethamp-
too, addressing aerowd of working-men from the balcony of
the Angel Hotel, said :—" He would have their opponent"
remember that free trade wee not carded by a whig gavots-
meat, but by • conservative me, "ad that. the greatest
opponent of free trade was Lord George Bentinck, a whig.
(Cheers.) In spite of that the liberals came forward and
took credit for what others bad done and out in the teeth
of conservatives that they had opposed measures which, in
reality they had supported." Referring auheequently to the
franchise, Mr. Holroyd said:—'• The conservatives were ex-
pelled from office ; seem years had elapsed since then, and
he should much like to know, daring that long time, what
*standee of the flambee the working classes had got ham
the liberal government? (Hear, hear.) He liked to take
facts as they stood, and he should abide by the bill brought
in by Lord Derby end Mr. Disraeli—(eWelsl—and he did
not hesitate to say that when the coummativee again rime
into power, they would kin in that bill again."
Tug SIRVICIS or ADMIRAL FITZROY.—We are
glad to learn that etteution is being celled to the dams
which the family of the late Admiral Fitzroy have to as-
sistmoe from government. AdmirelFituoy died poor. His
smote amounted to 3,4001., his debts to about 5,40 W.; and
he has left • large family, many of whom are neprovided
for. A better claim than they have to widowoe from go.
verument it would be difficult to imagine. We therefore
trust that their case will meet with the consideration due
to the memory of an officer who upheld the high reputa-
tion of our aavy be his scientific discoveries, by the seal
and efficiency with which he discharged the difficult duties
ietruated to him, and by the ability end energy he dis-
played in establishing • system of meteorological observe-
does which has already been the insane of an incalculable
saving of life and property in all parts of the world.—
Times.
TSB SULTAN'S 11/LLITR.—A Constantinople let-
ter of the 28th ult. says :—" The Sultan, without doubt
you have beard, boa bean indisposed. His Majesty ham had
a relapse, and ne the 23rd took to hie bed with all the
symptoms of a congestion of the brain. Oa the following
day his state had grown worm, and gave rim to serious un-
earned.. At on. moment be wee insensible, and was
thought to have awed to live. All the ministers were
summoned to the palace, and passed the night there. The
official receptions announced for the next day were counter-
waded, bat the public were not informed Nr what ressoo.
On the 25th an improvement took place, but the doctors
were still in • great embarrassment, as the Sultan would
take no medicine, and there was even great diffi-
culty in inducing him to allow ice to be placed
on his head, and leeches to be applied. The
next day his state was hardly so favourable, but
on the 27th, the malady appeared to have ceded, sod his
highness was able to take a little food. There are, how-
ever, fears that be will not submit to the *int his state
requires, for he will not listen to the doctor., and wants to
do as he pleases. At one moment he was about to send them
all away, and be treated by a quack, whom, however, be
would not have obeyed any more than the others. He has,
nevertheless, a great fear of death, and trembles lest the
doctors should kill him in endeavouring to effect a core.
Assess as be felt better he ordered mcrifiose of sheep to be
made, alms to be distributed to the poor of the capital,
presents to be given to the servants of the palms, and pri-
soner, for debt to be liberated. On his entire recovery the
same will be repeated on a large male, as is the custom in
Turkey. Thus an illness of the Salim', when it does not
terminate fatally, is a isendit to many."
FORD'S T/IZATZII AT WASIIINGTON.—Ford'a
