TURKEY.

A letter from Constantinople, of the 26th ult.,
says—" We have received no news from Asia. A
courier who has been expected the last three days
with despatches has not arrived, and as the roads
are perfectly good at this season it is feared that he
has been intercepted by the enemy."
The following is the address delivered by M.
Thouvenel in presenting his credentials to the
Sultan

" Sire—l have the honour of presenting to your Ma-
jesty the letters of the Emperor of the French, which
accredit me to you in quality of Ambassador. I shall
respond to the confidence which my august Sovereign
has deigned to place in me, if I succeed in drawing still
closer the bonds of friendship which unite France to
Turkey. The Emperor, Sire, hoped at one time to be
able to join in the Crimea that valiant army whose efforts,
united to those of the Turkish and English troops, will
secure the triumph of the most just of causes. In aban-
doning that intention, his Majesty made a painful sacri-
fice to other duties. Neither is it without sincere regret,
of which I am expressly charged to be the organ, that the
Emperor renounced the cordial welcome which your Ma-
jesty proposed to give him, and which would have set
a personal seal on the sentiments of the two sovereigns.
At the moment of commencing my mission, Sire, I ven-
ture to make an appeal to the kindness, of which your
Majesty has deigned to give me marks before I had
the honour of being known to you, and which I shall
employ every care to preserve."

The Presse d' Orient of Constantinople has letters
from Kertch of the 22d ult. No news had been
received from the Sea of Azoff, bpt five English
bomb boats and two advice boats were cruising be-
fore Genitchi and the spit of Arabat. On the 18th
part of the garrison of the Fort St. Paul made an
expedition into the interior of the country as far as
Kop-Sarai-Nn, six leagues from the town and one
league from Sultanocka, where a small Russian corps
is encamped. Notwithstanding the presence of the
Cossacks, it effected a razzia of 600 oxen, but the
value of them was paid to the inhabitants. The
fortifications of St. Paul and Yenikale were termi-
nated and armed.
A letter from Trebisond, of the 18th ult., an-
nounces the arrival there of 500 artillerymen sent

FOR THE THIRD OR LATEST EDITION.

In consequence of the abolition of the Stamp
Duty on Newspapers the public in all
large cities and towns to which parcels
are forwarded by the News-Agents, The
Sun, which formerly cost Fivoptance-half-
penny for the Latest Edition, containing
Parliamentary Debates of the same even-

with Official Despatches from the Seat of
War, the Latest Sporting, and all other
Commercial News, List of Bankrupts,

being a saving of nearly one-third.
Hitherto the price of the paper was nomi-
nally Fivepence, but all Late Editions
posted after six o'clock were charged a
fee of One Halfpenny by the Post-office,
which made the price to the Subscriber
Fivepence-Halfpenny. This charge must
still be made to those in remote places,
unless the Postmaster-General have the
magnanimity to forego such a paltry
source of revenue.

LORD WILLIAM LENNOX'S NEW NOVEL,
" PHILIP COURTENAY."

" We strongly recommend this book to all clamps of readers. Lord
William Lennox has by this production placed himself in the rank of
our best novelists. The story is evidently founded on fact, and the
characters must have sat for their portraits. The scenes 'at the
private theatricals are worthy of the pens of Hook and Leven"—
Bell's Lite.

INTERIOR, OF SEBASTOFOL.—A communication from
Marseilles, published in the Semapho.re, contains a letter
from a Russian merchant still resident in Sebastopol.
The following is an extract I was' obliged to emi-
grate and abandon my quarters for a liubterraneous ha •
bitation, or rather cellar, whither I webs driven, whether
or no, by the shot and shell of the enemy. Very many
of the houses that survived the bombardment of the last
nine months are now in ruins. The cellar in which I
now am is dug out of the rock, has no window, and but
one means of egress or ingress. The warehouses and
shops are removed into Fort Nicholas. The goo-ls are

STRICTURE- of tho URETHRA : its Rational
Treatment and Prompt Cure.

By F. B. COURTEkAY,
Member of the Royal College of surgeons of England.
" believe Mr. Coartenay's experience in the treatment of stric-
ture during the last twenty_years has equalled, if, indeed, it has tot.
Rurpasseal, that of any of his contemporaries. It is, therefore, no
matter of surmise that he should enjoy the reputation of being a
most dexterous and skilful manipulator with urethral instruments ;
amid when it is remembered that thb laniented Liston used to assert
that the introduction of instruments through a stricture which had
previously beentmpornaeable to them, was the most difficult indhe
whole range of. surgical operations, it must be no slight source of
srratification on Mr. Courtenay's part, to have achieved the reputation
hellos in this respect ; and fOr our part, with the knowledge we hove
of his experience,.we Inow"of no man to whose care we would with
greater confidence entrust the treatment of a severe case of stricture
of the urethra."—Medical Circular.

A very moderate supply of beasts was on offer in to-
day's market, yet th• demand for all kinds ruled vory in-
active at barely Monday's currency. Very fow sheep were
on sale. The mutton trade, however, was heavy on former
terms. The few calves in the market found buyers at full
prices. In pigs very little was doing, but we have no
change to notice in their value. Milch cows were ex-
tremely shill at from 141. to 191. each, including their
small calf.

PARIS, THURSDAY MORNING, FEB. 8.
A private despatch from Turin announces the
adoption of the treaty of alliance by the Chamber
of Deputies yesterday morning.
The Moniteur contains no official intelligence of
interest.

It gives the following account of au action
fought on the Danube, published by the Jo.rnat
de Constantinople, to which, however, we give no
credence:—

" Bucharest, Jan. 20.
" The news has arrived here by Matechin and Ibraila,
that a Russian corps in the Dobrudscha, having at-
tempted to pass the Danube, hail been repulsed with
great loss, after a conflict of gavel-Al hoer:, by the rear-
guard of Yaya Pfeha, and that the latter had already
crossed the Dazaibe at Tultszha and Ismail. During
the last six days the Turkish forces that were at Ibraila
under the command of Aehinet Paoha have crossed the
Danu be at Goura-Jalonitza."

The fallowing additional private telegraphic de-
spatches were recdived in Paris yesterday :
CONSTANTINOPLE, Feb. I.—The changes in the per-
sonnel of the Government continue. Salim Bey, Cham-
berlain, and Ferid and Safiz, Secretaries to the Sultan,
have been dismissed, and replaced by protegds of Reschid
Pacha. These dismissals have produced considerable
sensation.

TRIESTE, Feb. 7.—Aceounts from Constantinople state
that Vassif Pacha, who has just left to take the command
of the army of Asia, is ordered to keep on the defensive,
and fortify himself between Erzeroum and Toprakald.
According to accounts front Damascus of the 18th
ult., the Kurdish insurrection had not been put down
The chief of the rebels, at the head of 1,500 partisans,
threatened Sachogeziere, and prevented the passage of
the couriers who traverse Mesopotamia to Constantinople
and Bagdad. According to accounts from Trebizond of
the 24th ult., the Russians were marching in force on
Khiva. Persia still maintains neutrality.
News from Athena of the 2d inst., states that the
Greek Government had appointed M. Conduriotis chargd
d'affaires in Turkey, and completed the personnel of e
Greek legation at Constantinople.
It is also said that the Government is preparing a
special law against brigandage, which will form part of
the treaty of commerce with the Porte.
The Seraglio Barracks has been given up by the Ot-
toman Government fur the accommodation of the reserve
of the French army.
London, England, 1855-02-09

Officers of the Crown, he could not venture to give the gal-
la. colonel au answer without running the risk of misleading I
b-141. . If, however, the gallant colonel would put his question
upon the votes, the Attorney-General would perhaps give it
ns attention, although he was not bound to construe Acts of
Pariament.
Colonel SIBTHORP—You shall have it. (A laugh.)
POOR LAW (SCOTLAND.)
Mr. E. ELLICE (St. Andrew's) said that in the month of
June last year certain returns were ordered with regdidardnot to
tho relief of the poor in Scotland. Those returns
differ in any respect from others usually made by the poor-
law boards in England and Ireland. Nevertheless they were
not produced in the course of last session, and in the month
of December ho wrote to the Under-Secretary for the Home
Deortment, calling his attention to the circumstances,
requesting him to make an inquiry. Still the returns
were not forthcoming, and he now wished to know whether
the delay arose from the ignorance or inability of the board
of supervision, and when it was likely the returns would be
produced.
Mr. FITZROY replied that the return moved for on the
23d of last June was immediately despatched to Scotland.
Having understood from his hon. friend in the course of time
that no answer had been furnished, he (Mr. Fitzroy) again
communicated with the Lord Advocate ou the subject, and
