TURKEY.

The Patrie publishes the fact of M. de La l'our's
reception by the Sultan. Letters from Malta, of tho
15th inst., state that the British fleet was then still
at anchor there. A steamer had arrived from Con-
stantinople with despatches for Admiral I)undaa
from Lord Stratford de Redcliffe. It was to leave
the next day with despatches for this government.
The Patric also says: " We understand that intelli-
gence has been received from Broussa, which states
that the town was perfectly tranquil. The LlloseMent
which took place there, and of which the details aro
not yet arrived, is said to have been unimportant,
and totally independent of politics.'

OCEAN PENNY POSTAGE BAZAAR.

A bazaar was opened at Manchester, yesterday,
which promises to augment the funds necessary for carrying
on the movement very considerably. The ocean penny
postage, as it is termed, means, of course, a threepenny
postage—a penny for freight across the deep and a penny
at either end of the voyage (or inland transmission; and a
large expenditure is necessary to secure the spread of know-
ledge among the public sufficiently to awaken guneral
sympathy. The result of the bazaar appears so far to have
fathomed the public feeling as to show a very stroi.g sym-
pathy in pounds sterling, and it is estimated that the goods
contributed free of charge for retail at the bazaar
would be worth, at prime coot, from 1,5001. to 2,0001.
The contributions come from all the large towns (besides
many smaller places), including London, Edinburgh, Dub-
lin, Liverpool, Birmingham, Bristol, Glasgow, Cork, Nor-
wich, Ipswich, Gloucester, Cambridge, Chelb.nhem, Ply-
mouth, and Dover. The bazaar is held in tho large rosin
over the Royal Exchange. There are 17 stalls, very ele-
gantly fitted up, loaded with goods, but not containing half
the c 'retributions sent, and which have had to be ware-
housed till wanted. Ladies deeply interested in the cause
have undertaken to preside at the stalls, and what with
their own eloquent persuasions and those of their fair coun-
try cousins who have volunteered to act as assistants, a
large trade in the fancy wares usually vended on such oc-
carions has already been established. The commercial prin-
ciple is here carried to its extremest limits, for not only have
the goods been obtained in the cheapest market, but they
are selling in the very deal eat, and for ready money only.
It is whispered, that those who, like Franklin, would like
to knew beforehand what they will have to " pay for their
whistle," are not very welcome people at bazaars. The
bazaar was exceedingly crowded during the whole of yes-
terday. Elihu Burntt and Mr. E. Fry were present, and
it was said the contributions had been a good deal aug-
mented by aid from Mr. Burritt's numerous Olive Leaf
societies, established in aid of the peace movement. Mrs.
H. Beecher Stowe was expected, and the stalls were plen-
tifully ornamented with tittle waxen representatives of Eva
and Topsy, in honour of the expected visitor ; but a letter
was received, saying that her health was sJ precarious as to
render the visit impracticable. The following is a copy :
Glasgow, April 15.—Mrs. Stowe's health is such that
it will be impossible for her to be present on the occasion
you mention—not from a want of interest, but of power,
because life is of more importance to her just now than any
thing else. If you desire her to do good, you desire her to
get well, that she may do good. We go to Edinburgh,
Aberdeen, and Dundee next week, and, if Mrs. Stowe's
health is adequate, to Landon ; otherwise she will retire to
some quiet place. Wishing you success in your laudable
enterprise, Ism, very truly—CH.lB. Bneegza."
A subsequent letter was received, stating that Mrs.
Stowe would come to Manchester, if it were possible, but
that it must remain uncertain. A soiree last evening would
have been held in the Manchester Town-hall, if Mrs.
Stowe had come, but, under the circumstances, it was held
in the Friends' Meeting-house.
