of this to be roused to action ; for fwnily
eagerly listened to from childhood, have identteed

Our remarks have had ehicfoy.in view the MPS of
the Company's servants, ler they constitute thia balk
of the sufferers. The missionaries will be doubtless
oared for by the societies with which they are eon-
meted, and by the religious public whose almoners
these societies are. The sufferers of the commercial
elms are likely, too, to obtain assistance from their
trading connexions. We say this, not from a &die
that any clam should be excluded from the benefits
of the fund that is being raised, but solely with a
view to place in strong relief the claims of these who
are mainly dependent upon stipends or salaries.
We may be deceived—we hope we are unneces-

' wily urgent on this subject. If we hare erred, our
importunity may be pardoned us when it is remem-
' bared how much depends in such a case upon what
is done being done quickly. The sufferers are—
assay of them at least—not of that class for whom
destitution need be feared in the long run ; but
they may be subjected to • momentary but severe
pressure,which prompt and earnest action on the part
of the general public may avert.

Amtoucu by no 11101111/ prepared to deny to the
Emperor of the FIik.NCII the title, once assigned to
him, of the NAroLeoy of Peace, we were certainly
not prepared to regard him as a disciple of the AbbE
DC ST. PIERRE, who preachod the necessity of
universal abetinenos from war. Such a character
is, however, claimed for him in a correspond-
ence addressed to a Frankfort journal, to which
some remarks of the C'onstitutiumnel have
gi'

en almost official importance. This com-
aunication represents the EMPEROR as having
when at Osborne been peculiarly anxious that no
entanglement of European diplomacy should occur
to distract England's attention, or weaken her efforts
in India. The writer of the article foreshadows the
Emperor NAPOLEON'S visit to Stuttgardt as under-
taken for the accomplishment of that which he
began at Osborne. Ile wants to reconcile England
and Russia, and bring them to identity of views
with regard to the East.
The writer of the letter alluded to seems to lay it
down as an axiom that no country in Asia is self-
subsistent, and that everything Asiatic crumbles at
the touch or proximity of anything European. The
powers in contact with Asia, therefore, threaten to
overrun it, and have overrun it in a measure greater
than they are able to maintain. Moreover, this
divergence of interests and views must lead to
fearful and interminable war—a war that will ex-
tend to EMope and convulse it, unless all is pre-
vented by a common accord of Europe with regard
to the atfuirs of Asia. Such seems to be the inkling
or the outline given of the Emperor NAPOLEON'S
policy.
If it be so, we are rejoiced that a powerful and
influential ruler should have adopted principles of
policy which are to be followed up and developed
more by discussion and negotiation than by war.
We ►hould be still more njoiced if the Emperor
NAPOLEON should persuade the CZAR to enter upon
such a mode of dealing will great questions, whether
Asiatic or European. Our great accusation against
the Emperor Sicitot.is and the Cabinet of St.
Petersburg was its obstinacy in treating questions
in an isolated manner, and refusing to admit the rest
of Europe to participate either in the council or the
action.
It has, to be snre, been part of that antiquated
policy of which Lord Psusetueron still retains a few
traditions, to keep the East to ourselves, to ex-
clude the rest of Europe not only from dominion but
interference there, and to play at Sues the same
game which Russia pretended to play in the Dar-
danelles, saying, AU within these limits Wangs to
use. Such pretensions did not succeed with Russia;

and such pntenaMes cannot be maintained by as.
Lord PALM t:INTON can no more exclude the rest of
Europe from the Red Sea than Russia could exclude
it from the Eaxine. That is a piece of superan-
nuated nonsense on the part of his Lordship that
ought to hare been put down at once in the House
of Commons, and would hare been so bad twenty
members of the House been at all informed upon the
subject

What is to be gained by excluding Europe from
Oriental seas? France has aided us in our negotia-
tions with Persia. French co-operation is most de-
sirable in the Chinese war. It may have been ad-
'Cable and possible in the last century to act
alone in the affairs of the East. At the present time
there le no power that has not need of an ally, both
in Europe and in Asia. Our best ally, we need not
say, is France. But instead of France we have em-
braced the alliance of Austria, a power totally unfelt
beyond the confines of Europe, and • power totally
unable and unprepared to help us even in Europe, if
ever we had the misfortune to be attacked by a
Russo-French league.
The policy of our Cabinet, or we should more cor-
rectly say, of Lard PALMS RsTON , during the last year,
has been to defy all Europe, France included, in the
matter of the Isthmus of Sues. and to grocleim aloud,
The Red Sea is mine, you shall not enter it. In addition
to this, his Lordship has defied all Europe, except
Austria, in the arrangement of the Danubian Pro-
vinces. Russia declares that England has but one
aim with regard to these Provinces,which is,to make
them over to Austria. And certainly the conduct of
the English Government looks very like it. Such
a remit as this Russia declares she world resist by
war. And to give force to the declaration, the court
of St. Petersburg has moved a more than usually
large body of troops to the frontier of Collide.
" You compel me," the Emperor NAPOLEON is TO.
parted to have said at Osborne, " to support Russia
" against Austria. Be wise, and let that alliance be
" si trois, Ada dear."
Another circumstance of which we arc recently in-
formed, and which would tend to complicate Turkish
difficulties, is the resuscitation of Mahometan fana-
ticism in Syria. News, especially tidings connected
with religion, travels in the East by looser lectde means.
The rising of the Mahometans in Upper India, and
their extirpation of the Christians, has already
reached Mesopotamia and Syria, through Persia, and
perhaps other channels. The Syrian Moslem arc
Amid to be anxious to imitate their Indian brethren.
Any attempt of the kind would have very serious
consequences. And Russia or France, or both, in
' coming forward to demand or enforce the repression
' of such disorders, could not but employ a language
highly disagreeable and derogatory to the SULTAN'S
' Government.

That Government, since the conclusion of the war,
has done nothing towards the amelioration of the
condition of the Christians, except the issuing of
edicts. These edicts are complete dead letters.
REACIIID P•CHA, the friend of Christian emancipa-
tion and Turkish reform, has been many months
in power, with Lord DE REDCLIFFE at his elbow.
But they have not had time to turn their attention
to the Christian Rajahs of the empire. They were
eafikiently occupied in keeping down and striving
to thrust still lower the Christian population of the
Principalities. Now Rennin P•cn• hie fallen.
He is ejected, not only from the ministry, but has
bens deprived even of the Pnsideney of the

Tanzinsat. This is done, lest being removed from
politics, he should busy himself with Cligistian
refeerms. The new &milkier is a decided gamy of
the Christians. He never would employ European
officers. He is a thorough old Tack, though a man
of some ability. A cabinet composed of this gentle-
man, MEIIEWES AALI, and FI:AD, can inspire little
confidence. The latter has been in the pay and interest
of almost every European power successively ; and
he was accused of exciting troubles in Syria on one
occasion, in order to retain the French army in
Turkey. We now hear of Syrian troubles simulta-
neous with FUAD'S recalL It is said that AALI re-
fuses the Foreign ministry, became some understand-
ing has been come to with regard to the Principali-
ties which he could not in consistency carry out. We
know not how this may be, but it is lamentable to
tied that Turkey cannot have something like a will,
and an interest, and a minister of its own, without
putting itself under the ferule of one ambassador or
1 another.

Why cannot the SCLTAN take new men into his
councils ? There is nothing to prevent a Sultan, as
such, from doing so. But ARDVL MEDJID is at times
so little in a state to direct public affairs, or play the
Sovereign, that power must remain in the hands of
those accustomed to his weaknesses and his ways.
He thus changes from RLICIIID to AALI, and from
Asia to FCAD, and trembles almost u much to trust
a new Minister or a young man as Queen VICTORIA
herself.

Ws cannot blame Turkey or Turkish despotism
for a fault that so manifestly besets England and
English constitutionalism, in being ridden by old
men of the sea, ecptuagenarians, who cannot be

shaken off even in cadachy, sad who reign in
London and in Calcutta by the virtue and the rights
of superannuation quite as firmly as at Constanti-
nople. What Turkey wants is a fresh Minister
and a vigorous Sultan. Nothing elms can emancipate
it from a control and a dictatorship which compels
the Turks to neglect their own business and their
own interests, in order to lose themselves in diplo-
matic intrigue. There is no hope for Turkey, how-
ever, in any proximate change of Sovereigns, for the
heir to the throne is a brother of the reigning
Monarch, who never sees the day but through the
jalousies of the Seraglio. And as there is no legi-
timate way by which an official can rise or make
himself known, the effective talent of the empire is
buried in inaction and neglect—a state of things far
more fatal and dangerous to Turkey than Christian
progress or independence.

THE LATE SIR CHARLES MANSFIELD
CLARKE, BART.

Death has recently carried off one of the moat
distinguished ornaments of the mediud profeesiun, in the
yenta of Sir Charier. Clarke, who died on Monday, the 7th
inst.. at his residence, on the Marine-parade, Brighton, in
hie 76th year, after a lingering illness of nearly two years'
duration.

Charles Minefield Clarke, the younger son of the late Mr.
John Clarke, surgeon, of Chancery-lane, by a daughter of
William Mansfield, Esq., of Thrapstone, Northamptonshire,
was born in London. May 2s, lib 2, and received the rudie
rents of hie clerical education at St. Paul's School, when he
wee the schoolfellow, and, we believe, the playmate, or form-
fellow, of the late Lord Chancellor Truro and the present
Chief Baron Pollock. His father's example led him at an

early see to turn his attention to medical studies; and ac-
cordingly, instead of passing to one of the universities, he
attended at St Georges Hospital, and the lectures on anatomy
delivered at Use Hamilton School by Mr. Wilson and Mr.
Thoruse, end those on midwifery by his elder brother, the
late Dr. John Clarke, who for many years enjoyed a moat ex-
teusive practice in that particular branch of the pnifearion, be
which his younger brother was destined to become au die-
tinguished. Having finished his preliminary studies, Charles
Clarke wss admitted a member of the Royal College of Sur-
geons, and swat the two first years of his professional life
as sseistant-surgeon in the Hertfordshire Militia, which he

aubeequently exchanged for the poet of gorgeous in the 3rd •
Regiment of Foot Guard.. Of this part of hie early Melt
he always felt proud, and frequently in ha late years it was
his lot to return thauks on public occasions at once for the
military sad the medical prolowion.
Subsequently, however, he was induced by hie elder bro.
thee to give up the,srmy, and to devote his whole attention te
the disease. of women and children, and more particularly
to the practice of midwifery. He associated with his brother
ass lecturer on theee euhiects as early aa 1804, and continued
to deliver his regular tourers of lectures down to the year
1821, during which time be could reckon Memel all the

of hie attention and regard. in 1825 he was chosen a Fellow
of the Royal Society.
Hitherto Mr. Clarke had practised only el as acooucheur,
in which rapacity his rise to fame sad celebrity had Ms

deserved (or no man ever threw himself more zealously into

I understand that agents have arrived at Lille for
the purpose of recruiting for the British army. They
are not to enrol any French subjects but such
strangers as may be in the city, and who are disposed
to enlist. If my information be correct recruits will
be taken up from the foreign population throughut

listment of Frenchmen.

M. Adolphe Fould, the eldest son of M. Fould,
Minister of State, was thrown out of his tilbury
yesterday in the (lamps Elysium. He was con-
veyed in a menacing state to the Palais do 'lndustrie,
where he was attended by the physicians of that

establishment. Madame Fould, who was at Dieppe,
was telegraphed for, and arrived in Paris at mid-
night, and M. Fould, who was in the Pyrenees, is
expected to-day. M. A. Fould is better to-day, and
has been removed to his father's house.
It is stated as certain that Queen Maria Chris-

Tho funeral of M. Auguste Comte, who died on
the bth of September, of hypertrophy of the heart,
took place yesterday. The deceased was buried in
the cemetery of Pere la Chaise, and the funeral
cortege was followed by Proudhon, naivety, of the
" Philosophic, and Religious Review," and Lecou-
turier, of the Pays, and about fifty others. Two dis-
courses were delivered over the deceased by represen-
tatives of the two sections into which the Positive
Philosophy of Comte has split ; M. Littrh having
about seven years ago separated from his master,
and carried with him a considerable portion of the
disciples of M. Comte, who wished to adhere to the
strictly philosophical principles of positivism, as it
was originally promulgated, whilst Comte himself
sought to establish a new form of religion. The
deceased was born in 1798, at Montpellier. He was
the author of several works, of which the principal
is his " Coors de Philosophie Positive," on which he
was occupied for twelve years."

At the Bourse the market has been flat, and
