TURKEY.

A letter from Constantinople of the 29th ult., in
th© Gazette du Midi, says :
" The concession of the canal of Kustendji was granted
this day to a company formed of English, Austrian, and
French capitalists, and comprising for Turkey to wealthy
capitalists, Mustapha Pacha and Kiarnil Pacha. The
company has been formed under the auspices of the Am-
bassadors of France, England, and Austria, at Constan-
tinople. The canal will cost 500,000/. sterling, and a
large port which is to be formed will cost 1,000,0001.
This important decision is a practical solution of
the second guarantee of the Conferences of Vienna,
and will give a mortal blow to Odessa, which will
no longer be the principal port of the Black Sea. It
is to he hoped that the Turkish Ministers will perist in
this line of policy, as it is only by obtaining the aid of
foreign capital that Europe can be made to take an in-
terest in this country. Russia has always seen that the
cutting of this canal would be a mortal blow to her trade;
and when some years ago Austria spoke on the project,
the Cabinet of St. Petersburg declared that it would
make the execution of it a cnsus belli. The Porte is se-
riously occupying itself with the drawing up of a code of
proceedings in commercial matters in accordance with
the general principles of consular jurisdiction in Europe.
The commission, charged with the duty, is composed of
several judges of the Tribunal of Commerce, Mussul-
mans and Christians, and of the dragomans of the diffe-
rent legations ; and is presided over by Reinzi Effendi."

STATUE TO JAMES WATT AT
MANCHESTER.

Yesterday morning a meeting was held at the Town-
hall to originate a subscription to erect a public statue
to James Watt, the inventor of the steam-engine. The
suggestion originated with the Manchester Literary and
Phiiosophical Society The Mayor presided—and there
were present also Sir John Potter, and Messrs. WW.
Fairbairn, C.E. ; Thos. Bazley, Richard Roberts, C.E. ;
W. F. Bateman, C.E. ; J. C. Dyer, J. C. Harter ;
Oliver Heywood ; W. EntwiEle ; Principal Scott (Owen's
College) ; Henry Houlds worth; J. Peel ; A. Finley;
W. C. Calender, and T. 11. Neville. The statue is to be
a
a copy that by Chantrey, in Westminster Abbey, and
is to he placed in the large area in front of the Royal
Infirmary, in company with those of Wellington, Peel,
arid Dalton. The subscriptions announced at the meet-
ing were 19 of 101 , and 10 of 51. each.

THE WANDERER IN ARABIA.—The numerous readers
of "The Crescent and the Cross" and " Eothen" have
another treat of oriental adventure presented to them by,
the publication of Mr. Lowth's " Wanderer in Arabia'
—a book which, for the liveliness of its descriptions, and
the novelty of its incidents of travel, is likely to become
as popular as its predecessors. The author, a gentlema
of family and fortune, is said to have possessed nanny
advantages as a traveller in the East, which will account
for the interest to be found in the narrative of his adven-
ture,.

LYCEUM THEATRE.

Last evening was the celebration of the hundredth
performance of The Wizard of the North at this theatre,
and the house, externally illuminated and decorated, was
crowded to suffocation. All went off, as usual, as "m•nTy
as a marriage bell." Our attendance was, in some de-
gree, compulsory, being in virtue of a dread summons,
issued in the names of grisly Dis, and the Judges Three
of Erebus profound, to put in appearance on the great
occasion, and couched in phraseology calculated to make
the hearts of the simple-minded wax timorous and faint.
Confiding, however, in the known benignity of the
Mighty Magus, we obeyed and trembled not, not alto-
gether unmoved thereto by a courteous intimation con-
veyed in the final clauie of the mystic document, and
which was carried out in a highly refreshing manner.
After the regular entertainment of the night, a group of
choice spirits were evoked at the Wizard's hospitable
behest, and libations were enthusiastically offered to his
health and prosperity, and the homage of applause like-
wise befell the honoured names of Albert Smith and
Flexntore, the chief celebrities present.

Cevent•Garden looms in the approaching future—the
scene of the Professor's most triumphant career, if talent,
energy, taste, and liberal expenditure meet with their
due reward. Without the slightest misgiving we pro-
phesy the decided and deserved success, at Christmas,
of Mr. Anderson's " Magic Pantomime" of The Field of
the Cloth, of Gold.

THE VONSTEtc IfiliDEL OF SEBASTOPOL.

A. large model of the fortifications of Sebastopol, and
the siege works before it, is now being exhibited in the
Hanover-square Rooms. The dinaensions of the model
are 17 feet by 11, the horizontal scale 18 inches t) the
mile, the vertical considerably more, and the model
being coloureJ, the coup-d'ceil presented to the visitor is
ui exceedinglyperfo
tion bollw which
will shortly be remedied, mayd picturesque. A. few errors and
i
catch the eye of the nice critical spectator, but it would
be difficult to conceive an exhibition better calculated to
impress the mind with the magnitude of the successes
achieved, and the labours endured by the Allies in the
triumphant prosecution of the siege. Let the visitor but
glance at the giant Malakhoff, and the frowning Redan,
and he will wonder, if be never did so before, how mor-
tal daring an(l ingenuity could sca'e those heights. The
interest cf the exhibition is greatly enhanced by the
presence of several wounded and mutilated soldiers who
were present in the various struggles connected with the
siege,
and who are prepared to instruct the visitor in the
mystery of siege works.

" Meantime, General Mouravieff, having re-
peatedly received information that the troops of
Yely Pasha were shortly expected at Kara with
considerable provisions, ordered the Commander
of the Eri'ran detachment to cross the Dram-Dagh,
and to stop the enemy by advancing from Kerpi-
Keu v.

"©n the lith (29th) of October Major-General
Sousloff's detachment reached the defile of Kara-
Derbent ; on the approach of our troops the
Turkish cavalry, about 1,000 strong, which occu-
pied the neighbouring heights, fell back on Youz-
Verian.

" On the 18th (30th) the enemy concentrated
about 2,000 Bashi-Bazouks between that village
and Komatsor ; the remainder of the troops under
Vely Pasha (numbering from 6,000 to 7,000 in-
fantry and about 1,600 horse) advanced from
Dava-Boinou on Hassan-Kaleh ; moreover, 2,000
Bashi-Bazouks took up a position near Deli-Baba

and Khorassan, and a garrison of from 2,000 to

3,000 men was left to guard Erzeroum.
"On the 19th (31st) of October Colonel Lik-
houtine of the Staff, by order of General Sous-
loff, made a reconnaissance in the direction of
Kerpi-Keuv. Near Youz-Verian our detachment
came upon about 2,000 Bashi-Bazouks, whom we
forced to withdraw after a smart skirmish.

"On the 20th of October (Ist of November)
Vely Pasha, alarmed at the appearance of our
flying detachment near Ardost, and wishing to
avoid a battle with General Sousloff's troops,
withdrew behind the river Nabitchai, leaving
about 1,000 Bashi-Bazouks, near the villages of
Yagani and Kordobaz, not far from Dava-Boinou."

Several of the Paris journals publish letters
from the East, but they do not contain any new

facts of interest. Omer Pacha was on the point
of receiving considerable reinforcements, which
would permit him to advance siill further into
Mingrelia ; meanwhile, he was collecting provi-
sions and supplies, in the face of any eventuality
which might arise. The most unsatisfactory

rumours were current at Constantinople, accord-
ing to the correspondent of the Pays, with re-
spect to the fate of Kars. The heroic garrison of
that place, decimated by disease and famine, is
reported to have capitulated. This intelligence
must be premature, for the Invalide Russe would
otherwise have already acclaimed the triumph of
General Mouravieff.

The German Frankfort Journal says :—" Selim
Paella has been compelled to renounce his attempt
to relieve Kars, because his detachment of 6,000
regulars and 5,000 irregular troops, which was to
guard the great convoy of provisions destined for
the besieged town, was too late to pass the defiles
occupied by the enemy. In Kars the distress was
at its height, for famine and typhus ravaged the
garrison, which only received a third of its primi-
tive rations. The garrison did not hope to be
able to maintain themselves beyond the 18th
November, when they would be forced to surren-
der if not succoured."
The date of this communication is November
3, and we have news up to November 19, when
we know Kars had not fallen.

LYCEUM" THEATRE.

Last evening was the celebration of the hundredth
performance of The Wizard of the North at this theatre,
and the house, externally illuminated and decorated, was
crowded to suffocation. All went off, as usual, as "merry
as a marriage bell." Our attendance was, in some de-
gree, compulsory, being in virtue of a dread summons,
issued in the names of grisly Die, and the Judges Three
of Erebus profound, to put in appearance on the great
occasion, and couched in phraseology calculated to make
the hearts of the simple-minded wax timorous and faint.
Confiding, however, in the known benignity of the
Mighty Magus, we obeyed and trembled not, not alto-
gether unmoved thereto by a courteous intimation con-
veyed in the final clause of the mystic document, and
which was carried out in a highly refreshing manner.
After the regular entertainment of the night, a group of•
choice spirits were evoked at the Wizard's hospitable
behest, and libations were enthusiastically offered to his
health and prosperity, and the homage of applause like-
wise befel the honoured names of Albert Smith and
Flexmore, the chief celebrities present.
Covent• Garden looms in the approaching future—the
scene of the Professor's most triumphant career, if talent,
energy, taste, and liberal expenditure meet with their
due reward. Without the slightest misgiving we pro-
phesy the decided and deserved success, at Christmas,
of Mr. Anderson's "Magic Pantomime" of The Field of
the Cloth of Gold.

THE MONSTER MODEL OF SEBASTOPOL.

A large model of the fortifications of Sebastopol, and
the siege works before it, is now being exhibited in the
Hanover-square Rooms. The dimensions of the model
are 17 feet by 11, the horizontal scale 18 inches to the
mile, the vertical considerably more, and the model
being coloured, the coup-d' ail presented to the visitor ia
exceedingly bold and picturesque. A. few errors and
imperfections, which will shortly be remedied, may
catch the eye of the nice critical spectator, but it would
be difficult to conceive an exhibition better calculated to
impress the mind with the magnitude of the successes
achieved, and the labours endured by the Allies in the
triumphant prosecution of the siege. Let the visitor but
glance at the giant Malakhoff, and the frowning Redan,
and be will wonder, if he never did so before, how mor-
tilate enhanced by tb•
mor-
tal daring and ingenuity could scale those heights. The

THE KING OF SARDINIA.

TURIN, DECEMBRR 12.

The King arrived here last night, and found
at Susa the Prince of Carignano. The Ministers
and an immense crowd waited to receive the King

remaining a short time in the chapel, the body was
removed in a hearse to the Invalides, and was there
received by the Governor and the principal officers.
It was then placed in a chapelle ardente, and
prayers were said over it in the course of the day
and during the night.

SHARPERS.—Last week two sharpers, under the guise
of commercialists seeking for agents to whom they
might entz uet goods for sale on commission, called on
various merchants in Ayr, Nly.ybole, and Girvan. Those
who agreed to their condition! signed blank papers,
which, it appears, were etarnpeu. On these, bilis were
drawn and discounted to the amount of 1401. The ac-
ceptors of the bills being made aware of the transac-
tion, and seeing how they had been duped, immediately
applied to the police. A messa.'e by telegraph was sent
to the Procurator-Fiscal at Kilmarnock, where the
sharpers had gone, and on the arrival of the train the
two worthies were immediately secured. This ought to
be a caution to merchants to be exceedingly wary how
they put their names to paper.—Q/avou; Daily Mail,

CHARGE OF FRAUD AGAINST TWO
CAPTAINS OF TRANSPORTS.

PORTSMOUTH, Dec. 11.—A case, involving the em-
bezzlement of Government stores, by two captains of
transports in her Majesty's service, was heard by the
Mayor of this borough, G. C. Stigant, Esq., and B. W.
Carter, Esq., this afternoon.
The pasties charged were Mr. William Atkins, master
of the transport S.dacia, and Mr. Robert Simpson, mils-
ter of the transport Equator. Mr. Swainson, of the
firm of Greetham and Swainson, crown solicitors at this
port, prosecuted, and Mr. A. Low, of Portsea, appeared
for the defendants. _

Mr. James Whiting Parsley, an officer of the Board of
Trade, produced the official report, containing the deposi-
tions of several witnesses, of a naval court held at Ruin-
klava on the 3d October last, held under the provisions
of " The Merchant Shipping Act of 1854," which had
been officially received by the Board of Trade yesterday.
This court had been ordered to be held by Rear-
Admiral Freemantle, chief of the department of Bala-
klava, and consisted of Capt. C. B. Hamilton, of her
Majesty's ship Diamond, Capt. Cartkew, of the Colombo,
and Capt. C. H. Sibbald, of the Charity, transports.
From these depositions it appeared that the Salacia hal
been sent out from England with a cargo of government
biscuit, and that late on the night of 28th September a
quantity was put into a boat and conveyed on board the
transport Equator, reaching this vessel when the crew
were asleep. One ma., however, hearing a noise, got up
to see the cause, and found the captain and others engaged
in getting some bags of biscuit on board ; some person
telling the others not to make a noise, so as not to dis-
turb any one. Information being given, a search was made
on board the Equator, and five bags of biscuit, that in
question, were found. It was attempted to be shown that
these 5 bags were part of some that the Salacia had pro-
cured from a trading vessel, the Tartar, and was not Go-
vernment biscuit at all. The court abovenamed decided
that the two defendants should be sent to England,
to be tried by law for the embezzlement by collusion of
biscuit, the property of the Queen, the court adding that
they thought it requisite to say that the biscuit found
on board the Equator was Government biscuit, whilst
that purchased from the Tartar by the Salacia was of a
totally different character.
The bench took some time to consider their decision,
and having done so gave it as their opinion that they
were bound to believe the evidence in the depositions
produced, and to commit the defendants to tria'.
The defendants were then formally committed to the
assizes at Winchester for trial, bail in 4001. each and
two sureties each of 2001. being accepted.

ST. MARTIN'S-.BALL.

"THE SEVEN AGES OF WOMAN."
A new lyric entertainment has been produced, in an-
ticipation of adding to the amusements of the Christmas
holiday-makers, in one of the rooms of the above
establishment, in which Miss Emma Stanley takes upon
herself to perform, and illustrate with appropriate cos-
tume "the Seven Ages of Woman."
There are, besides, numerous other characters intro-
duced or connected with the above, for the purpose of
amplifying the subject, all of which are represented in
appropriate costumes, and are elianged with amazing ra-
pidity, which, together with a great many songs, exe-
cuted w;th much talent and effect, render this a most
excellent entertainment, and highly creditable to the
varied powers of Miss Emma Stanley, who, if real merit
meet its due reward, will receive a large share of public
patronage.

PREVENTION OF ACCIDENTS BY FIRE
IN THEATRES.

TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN.
Sin,—The late lamentable and fatal accident at the
Plymouth Theatre, which was almost a counterpart of
that which befel Miss Clara Webster a few years since,
induces me through your columns to offer a hint to the
managers of metropolitan and provincial theatres,
whereby they will be enabled, in a simple and inexpen-
sive way, effectually to prevent the recurrence of these
terrible disasters. Let the glass chimney of every gas
light which is placed in a position of even remote danger
be surmounted by a hollow sphere of fine copper wire
gauze. This sphere should not be less than twice the
diameter of the chimney ; and a segment of the same
diameter as the chimney must be cut from it, and a light
brass ring and holder firmly attached thereto, so that
the whole may be placed securely upon the top of the
glass. It then constitutes to all intents and purposes a
safety lamp, when burned in a non-explosive atmosphere
—the draught is unimpaired, and though the hot gases
pass through the meshes of the gauze, they are cooled
by its radiating power below the temperature of igni-
tion, so that paper, or any light textile fabric, if held
immediately over the light, might possibly be scorched,
but would not burst into flame. This hint may be
carried out by any ordinary gas-fitter, and wherever
adopted the chances of fire will be almost entirely
superseded.

" The affair of Colonel Turr, arrested at Bu-

officer will not be given up to the English, as the
British Government admits that the right is on
the side of Austria in the matter."

LATEST NEWS.

FALL OF KARS.

We (Morning Post) regret to state that
authentic intelligence has been received, which
leaves no doubt as to th• fate of Kars.

Ismail Pacha (General Kmety), with another
officer, who succeeded in eluding the vigilance of
the Russian outposts, have effected their escape.
When they quitted Kars, General Williams had
been compelled by famine to send a flag of truce
to the Russian camp, offering capitulation.

GENERAL MOURAVIEFFS REPORT.
The Invalide Busse publishes the following ex-
tract from the periodical report of General Mou-
ravieff, dated from the camp of Tchivtli-tchai, the
29th of October (10th November) :
" The blockade of Kars continues ; our de-
tachments daily capture Turks who are taking
flight from the fortress, and attack the enemy's
foraging and detached parties. Thus on the 13th
(25th) of October, Major-General Count Nyrod,
having observed that 200 foragers had left Kars
in the direction of Keui-Keni, sent a detachment
of the Ist regiment of Mussulman cavalry against
them, commanded by Ensign Rostom-Bek-Liala-
ltekoff. Having secretly advansed upon the
enemy, our cavalry charged vigorously. The Turks
fled towards their fortifications, with the loss of
two men killed, and leaving six wounded in our
hands.

"In the night between the 19th and 20th of
October (31st of October and Ist of November)
about 40 Lazes attempted to force a passage
through the outpost of our detachment near
Melik Keui. In the skirmish which ensued 23
of the Lazes were killed, tw• wounded, and 10
made prisoners. On our side one Cossack was
killed and two wounded.

"On the morning of the 21st of Oct. (2d of
Nov.) two columns of Turkish Infantry, having
left the Schorakh heights, occupied the ridge of
the Observatory-hill with riflemen, and opened
fire against our picquet ; our reserve coming up
compelled the enemy to retire within his fortifi-
