support the foreign-office. The•question- really lies in a 'I
nutsholl-;:tit. it' his been smothered under quires of
' English and lurkish documents.; r reports of evidence
taken, and much -of it not upon oath (six English affi-
davits were lost in Lord Stratford'Slime at the Embassy,
or mislaid just when wanted); and-the cause hal been
referred from Tidjaret •to Zaptieh, and thence to the
Porte—" up stairs, 'and •-down stairs, and into • each
Turkish chamber"—with a view evidently of wearing
out and tripping. up the witnesses, and trapping them
into; any.B.oo! of contradiction, .so as to snap a verdict
against the plaintiff "by hook or by.crook." ~ And this
the Supreme Turkish Court, under Kitimil Pasha, has
done.

'The only'ritie'stion is, was a charterparty made at all •
between Glover and Ismail Pasha (r shoUld like to send
you the biography of the latter, whO is at Cireassian) ?'
and, if so,was:it Witnessed by any eredible•witness ? and
was there a breachof tit by the Pasha? - To this any'
honest man ,Would answer " Yes." There was a charter-
party; -it was provedhY Mr. Glover himself, and by Mr.
Wm..Knight,t a member of, the Western Circuit, well
,known for years,in England as counsel to the several Yacht ,
Clubs, and now a practising Member of the bar in-Judge
liornby's Courtin Constantinople. Mr. Knight was one
of the attesting witnesses.' The other attesting witness,
one Itomerßey,'WhOse signature has bolegnlised at the;
American C'onstilate in l'era,-has:puilioselv:beeri'kept
out of the way by Ismail Pasha:: ' These three gentle-
men saw the Pasha affix a-seal to the charter-party;
but, because it does not bear his name, but merely a
motto, "PatienceiiVichiy„"- the Supreme Council of
Justice decides the contract to be invalid ! And yet it
is in,evidence that
_gm-tier-Bey, the Pasha's officer, said
in, English,- "The Pasha delivers this as his act and
deed, 'and as'.he'eannoit write-the ',Frank character, lee
directs me to write next the seal, the words 'lsmail
Pasha!" 'And Romer. did so, write in the presence. of
MeSsra. Knight and Glover. • . •
.'i‘ .
• The charter-party was simply letting the. Enchantress
steamer= to the , Pasha (then Postmaster-General) for,
service in the Black :Sea. Afraid. of the Russian .
Arnba,sSabor, the Pasha, sitting after sitting, denied all
.knoWledge. of the transaction ! And by non-payment';,
Of the, penalty mutually agreed ,on under seal, and
before :subscribing witnesses,' corroborated by. General

&c., Mr. Glover has become, through the;Pitstra'snct,:
almost a ruined man ; obliged—even to part with his
steamer, and—but let that, pass—more must be known

T. 'Do tbd Turks expect that Lord Stratford will .say
in the House of Lords, " I know nothing of this matter ?"2. Will the Turkish Ambassador (Mussurus Bey) say
he;,knew nothing of, the Enchantress and Kangaroo
steamers being chartered; for the Black Sea, though un-
mixed with the affair, himself?

3. Did the .Sultan
.know of the expedition, and, in
short, order it ?
"4. Did- the Russian Ambassador go to 'the Grand
Vizier and coMplain of the Enchantress being chartered?
.5. 'Did 14Ord Stratford communicate -with a British
pendant in the-Bosphorus, touching the Enchantress or
the Kangaroo and the Russians ? ."
6. For what crimes is Ismail Pasha now known to
the Turkis!i Courts? - Is he'worthy of credit ? antt are
the plaintiff and his .witnesses nnworthy ?
These and other questions I, toureorresponde4, may
yet throw. some light, upon. :Ile present decision is,
in one word, an attempt to smash an Eriglishman ;:.and
I hope .Lord J. Russell will put it down, And: earn the
gratitude of all whose opinion in mercantile pursuits is
worth possessing: "Look to y6o,s'eat" when you mi-

MR. tOEBUOk,,M:P. SHEFY.tin4D.r—On
evening the annual meeting in connection with the She&
field Mechanics' Institution was field in the Mechanics]
Hall of that town..'.. Mr Rocbuckaddressed the audience
He regretted that the working men did not seem to ap-
preciate the advantages of education, The only difficulties
.in the way—the pecuniary cestand the sacrifice of time-
were not very great, and completely Within'tbe reach of
all who wished to attain them. To raise themselves. 'in
the social scale was not the true aim of educatipn, for
only a small prOpcirtiOn.could 'possiblY'rise' above' their
sphere:,) •The 'chief object' to be .._desired' was to learn to
be happy intbeir present sphere. And nothing in the
condition! of the working classes could prevent them
acquiring that knowledge which was calculated to make
them happy. .
