CRUELTIES IN WALLACIIIA.

PESTU, Ocr. &

People who hate the Turks for no other reason
than that they are Turks give unlimited credit to
every story to their disadvantage. When that is
the case, why should we not turn the page and
look at the other side—why should we not
inquire into the character and manners of
the so-called oppressed and tyrannised rays!. ?
The Monitor, the official paper of the Wallachian
government, published in a recent number a
princely decree, by which John Falkviauo, direc-
tor of the Telegraph and Poet-office, and D. Pop,
prefect of the district Tecuciu, were dismissed for
having applied torture under circumstances of
unheard-of atrocity. So far the official report.
Another political paper, called Trompetta Kar-
patzilor (tho Carpathian Trumpet), givestho follow-
ing shocking details. A man named Vangeli Belau
was beaten with wet ropes on the most delicate
part of his body, and after having been burnt with
glowing irons on the soles of the feet, the poor
man was kept suspended by a rope drawn under-
neath the naked arm for four hours, and finally,
bound to the tail of a horse, ho was t= id along
the streets. Other culprits, as Balan,
Nikolae Boban, and Apoetol Bulge:, were partly
beaten in the way mentioned above, and partly
tortured by having had boiling eggs put under
the arm-pits. The remainder of the aocount is too
horrible to translate. _ _

Some women suffering in the hospital of
Fokshan underwent tortures still more appalling •
but enough of these startling details, corroborated
by Mr. Bonsai, chief of the Cour do Cessation at
Yohshan. I would only ask your readers if Turks,
the so-culled enemies of Christianity , would com-
mit such unheard-of cruelties upon Chnstiane, whe-
ther men or women ?

GLASGOW, Tausseey.
The Prince and Princess of Wales paid their
long-promieed viatt to Glasgow this morninir, and
met with sat enthesimlia reception. Their royal
highnesses, scoompanisd_ , by Prince John of Den-
mark, left Dunrobm Cadk yesterday forenoon,
and arrived in Edinburgh at .twenty minutes past
ten o'clock in the evening. They were received at
the Waverley station by the Lord Provost and the
magistrates of Edinburgh, and bi Mr. Stirling,
chairman of the North British Railway Company,
and Mr. Harrison, one of the directors.
A large crowd had. been in front of
the station to welcome their royal highnesses,
end as the Prince and Princess entered their
carriage and drove to Slaney's Hotel they were
loudly cheered by the perdue. This morning
their royal highnesses left Edinburgh for Glasgow
by a special train, which arrived at the Dundee
station .of the North British Railway at about a
quarter pest twelve o'clock.
• The railway' authorities had made excellent
• arrangements for •the *reception of • their 'royal
• highnesses; and: the eoniewhat unsightly struc-
ture with which travellers froin Ebargh to
Glasgow are familiar had on this occasion under-
gone semi-transformation, a portion of the in-
terior being draped and carpeted with crimson
cloth, while several of the rooms used by the
principal officers of the railway company were
temporarily converted into reception moms for
their royal highnesses and suite. The Prince
and Princess were accompanied by Prince John
of Denmark, Lieutenant-General Knollys, and
the Hon. Mrs. Coke, and they were re-
ceived on alighting at the platform by
the Lord Provost and Mrs. Lumeden, Lady Bel-
haven, Lady Emily Hamilton, the Lord Justice
General (who is also rector of the University), the
Lord Advocate, Principal Barclay (of the Glasgow
University), the Rev. Dr. Norman Macleod, Major-
General Rumley, Colonel the Hon. P. Colborne,
Lord Rosehill, &c. The Prince otriVales wore a gene-
ral's uniform and the ribbon of the Order of St.
Andrew. The Princess was attired in a lavender
'ilk dress, and wore a pink and white bonnet.
Her royal highness looked the better for her so-
journ in the Highlands, although she had evi-
dently not quite recovered from the lameness
from which she has so long suffered. The Lord
Provost wore a court suit, and the Principal and
Rector of the University their robes of office. After
the necessary formal introduction the royal pair
were conducted to their carriage, and amid the
cheers of many thouaands of spectators took their
place in a procession which had beenarranged forth°
occasion, and at once drove to the City-hall,
where the public remption of their royal highnesses
wee to take place. The route of the royal proces-
sion on leaving the station lay along the west and
southern sides of George-square, down Frederick-
street, through Ingram-street along North Albion-
street, and into College-street, where their royal
highnesses were afforded an opportunity of seeing
the old university buildings, thence down High-
street through Stirling-street and South Albion-
street to the City-ball. The streets along the entire
line of route were densely thronged with spec-
tators, every. point of vantage being eagerly
taken possession of by the multitude which had
been sent forth, not only from the densely-
populated districts of the great Scottish city,
but from all the neighbouring towns, and even
from Edinburgh and some of the more distant
parts of Scotland. The decorations of the
houses and public buildings were profuse.
On reaching the City-hall, their royal highnesses
were conducted to the seats reserved for them upon
the platform, and their appearance in the build-
ings, which had already been filled with specta-
tors, was the signal for loud and prolonged cheer-
ing. The National Anthem was then performed
on the great organ, and
The LOUD Peovoar then delivered the following ad-
dress :—Your Royal Highnesses, my lords, ladies, and
gentlemen, I can assure your royal highnesses that
it affords the corporation and the citizens the highest
satisfaction to give your royal highness and the Prineessoi
Wales a hearty welcome to our city, and it is with very
great pleasure that the citizens have heard that your
royal highness has graciously agreed to become a free-
man of the city of Glasgow. On the roll of our freemen
there are many honoured and illustrious names; there
I can point as well to statesmen and to warriors as to
men who have rendered themselves illustrious by their
successful efforts to ameliorate the condition of the whole
body of the people—(cheers)—and in now having the
honour of adding your royal highness to this roll we in-
crease its lustre, and express our earnest hope that your
royal highness may be long spared, that you may be a
blessing to the whole nation, and that you may possess
that warm affection of the whole body of the people which
a loyal nation will most heartily accord. (Cheers.)
The Town Clerk then read the certificate con-
ferring the freedom of the city on his royal
highness, and the document having been placed
in a gold casket was handed to the Prince by
the Lord Provost.

The Town Clerk then read the following address
of the corporation :
