TURKEY.

CONSTANTINOPLE, March 22.—Aali Pacha's mis-
sion to Vienna is generally looked upon with great
favour by all well-wishers of Turkey. A more
sacred or a more important duty could not devolve
upon a diplomatist. The instructions for his
guidance will be given to him on the eve of his de-
parture. Several conferences for the purpose of
drawing up these instructions have already taken
place, and at which Lord Stratford and several
other diplomatists have been very active in contri-
buting towards the mission. Aali Pacha will
quit this for Trieste on Monday, the 26th, and
will be in Vienna on or about the 6th April. Con-
cerning the instructions, it is said that the Porte
will make the most extraordinary efforts at the
Conferences to put forth and maintain the integrity
and independence of this country'. She will insist
upon retaining the power she has .f closing the
Dardanelles and the Bosphorus to foreign men of
war. She will accept the guarantee or collective
protection to be exercised over her Christian sub-
jects by the Five Powers. At the same time it is
the intention of the agents of the Porte to keep in
mind the right to an entirely independent policy
and conduct.

At the Porte, as 'elsewhere, very little reliance
is placed on the favourable result of the Vienna
Conferences.

The French men-of-war Friedland and Bayard
have received orders from Admiral Bruat to pre-
pare for sea. In all probability they will sail for
Sebastopol on the 25th inst. This leads us to the
supposition that off, nsive operations on the part of
the Allies will take place about the latter end of
this month.

The new wooden barracks for English cavalry
are fast advancing towards completion in Pera.
For some time past the Sultan's bureau has been
inundated with letters and petitions desiring and
persuading him to be a Christian. They come by
the post from France as well as from England.

AUSTRIA.

VIENNA, MARCH 29.
It has excited no astonishment here (says a Ber-
lin writer) that great difficulties arose when the
second point, relative to the navigation of the
Danube, was entered into. The Western Powers
and Austria insist on Russia's doing away with the
strong places which she has constructed on the Bes-
sarabian bank of the Danube, and also demand
that no fortifications shall ever be constructed with-
in cannon range of the river. They further pro-
pose, that the care of the channel of the Danube,
as also its left bank from Reni down to Sulina,
shall be intrusted to a Syndical Commission of the
Powers. By the following article, which is the
third of the Treaty of Adrianople, it will be seen
how necessary it is to obtain real guarantees for the
future from Russia :
" The Pruth shall continue to form the limit of the
two empires (Russia and Turkey), from the spot where
that river touches the Moldavian territory to its conflu-
ence with the Danube. From that point, the frontier lines
shall follow the course of the Danube to the estuary of
the St. George arm, so that leaving all the islands formed
by the different arms of the river in the possession of
Russia, the right bank shall, as heretofore, belong to the
Ottoman Porte. It is nevertheless agreed that this right
bank—starting from the point where the St. George arm
is separated from that of the Sulina—shall remain unin-
habited for the distance of two hours from the river, and
that no kind of establishment shall be formed there.
Neither shall it be permitted, with the exception of the
quarantines which are there, to form any other estab-
lishment or fortification on the islands which shall re-
main in possession of the Court of Russia."

A letter from Vienna of the 29th ult. states that
M. de Bourqueney had on the previous day a pri-
vate interview with Count Buol, and had commu-
nicated to him a report from General Canrobert,
which had been sent from Paris. The general
announces that everything is ready for the bom-
bardment, and that the hre would most 'probably
be opened from all the batteries on the 25th.

the first few strides, proceeded to make running, with
Lady Arthur in waiting. At the second jump, Lady
Arthur went a head, but before reaching the chateau,
Franc-Picard again got in front, Lady Arthur dropping
into the second place, and Augustine taking the third.
At the garden, Augustine took up the running and
continued it to the brook where he fell, and was
" done for." Lady Arthur once again resumed
the lead, Franc-Picard going into waiting on her,
Flying Buck being third, and Perjurer fourth. At the
garden-wall, Lady Arthur stumbled, and took a wide
sweep up the hill. Franc-Picard then shot ahead, and
Perjurer went into waiting on him ; but on reaching the
straight, Lady Arthur strode into second place, and after a
while collared Franc-?'icard. A splendid set-to between
them ended in a dead heat. It was subsequently agreed
between 'he owners of the two horses that the stakes
and entries should be divided, Franc-Picard, however,
receiving I,ooofr. in addition, on condition of his being
declared the winner, and accepting the surcharge, which
as such he will have to carry at Longchamps.
Selling Stakes of 2,000 fr., added to 100 fr, entry. The
second to receive double his entry. Distance about
4,000 metres (24 miles). Weight 140Ibs. ; and the
winner to be claimed for 10,000 fr., but horses entered

Sir Philip made the running to the hill, when it was
taken up by The Colonel, who continued it to the end,
and won easily.

CHESTER GRAND STAND ON' FlRE.—Last Saturday
evening the Grand Stand at Chester was discovered to be
on fire, and before the flames could be subdued nearly
the whole of the upper part of the interior was destroyed,
and considerable damage was done to the saloon. The
latter had only just been beautifully painted and deco-
rated ; the work was, in fast, scarcely finished when the
lire broke out. It is supposed to have been accidentally
occasioned by some workmen who were employed in re-
pairing the roof. The loss is covered by inurance in
the West of England Office ; we are requested to
state that the Stand Committee will use every means to
have the building made thoroughly sound and fit for the
reception of the public at the approaching May meeting.
Great praise is due to Mr.. Hill, the chief constable, for
his indrfatighllb exertions during the firo.

S ORTING EXTRAORDINARY.

The Englishman is pre-eminently a horse-racing ani-
mal. Our kings, from Charles IL to George IV., have
alt had a penchant for the turf. Our statesmen, our
Foxes, Graba:ns, and Bentincks, have studied the mys-
teries of finance at Tattersall's and Newmarket. No
sooner is an English colony settled in a waste or bar
barons land, than a race-course is laid out. Even Sierra
Leone, "the white man's grave," has its race-course.
Our officers while hemmed in in AffghanistAn had their
trainings and matches under the walls" of Jellalabad.
And now the Russian look-outs—watching, through
their glasses, the doings in our camp before Sebas-
topol—are perplexed by the movements of crowds
which would have no mystery for any clerk or coster-
monger who has witnessed a "Derby Day." We have
been favoured, by a friend in the camp, with a list
of the reces—though not with a "list of the runninv
horses."—that were fixed to come off in the rear of the
camp of the Fourth Division, " Russians and cannon
balls permitting." Here it is :

seventh army corps, stationed at present in Bessarabis,,
will also leave for the Crimea. The troops remaining in
Bessarabia will be placed under the orders of General
Ludes, who will fix his head-4uarters at Bender.
" According to reports received at Vienna and there
held worthy of credit, Sebastopol is provisioned for three
months. The garrison is only 12,000 strong, but may
easily be reinforced, whilst the bulk of the army, under
the immediate command of General Oiten Sacken, num-
bers 40,000 men at the Belbek. The Ru=sians have cut
down ail the trees in the dis'rict behind Jukerman, and
behind the trunks they have, during the winter, con-
structed ei,trenchments and batteries in excellent posi-
tion. Prince Gortechakoff intends, it is said, to operate
from Perekop and Simpheropol against Eupatoria at the
head of 00,000 men."

A letter from Hamburg of the 29th ult., in the

that since the dry weather has rendered the reads
to Perekop practicable, two regular regiments of
Cossacks of the Don have arrived at the isthmus
across the steppes of Nogaizes and by the road
which skirts the sea of Azof. From Perekop,
however, the roads into the interior of the Crimea
are still in too bad a state to allow the passage of
troops of heavy waggons or guns. This circum-
stance will probably render au attack of the Rus-
sians on the allied forces not -very likely for the

tive and practical good-fellowship. To the in-
fluence of feelings like these, which we believe to
be thereby indicated, are beyond all question
attributable the noble and affecting munificence
spontaneously displayed by all ranks and classes
of the community, in the transmission of aid to
the afflicted three thousand miles away from home.
Through the Sick and Wounded Fund, for example,
despatched to Scutari and there distributed with
such humane discretion by the Times' almoner as
the not unworthy custodian of those fruits of the
popular generosity. Or, again, through that
more imposing, though not in any respect more
beneficent, fund, called, for the sake of distinction,
the National or Patriotic Fund, the grand total
of which has already exceeded the enormous sum
of 1,000,0001. sterling. An interest and a muni-
ficence such as those which we have here particu-
larised—an untiring interest in, and an inexhaus-
tible munificence towards, those of our fellow-
countrymen whose individual fortunes are in any
way involved in the larger fortunes of the War be-
tween the Allied Armies and the Armies of the
Russian Autocrat—we ourselves have been among
the first to appreciate. It is for others to say
whether or not, indeed, we have afforded both of

these evidences of patriotism something more than
idle appreciation : whether, in fact, we have
not, to the uttermost of our abilities and
to the fullest of our energies, striven to keep
alive that interest, to multiply and exteld
those tokens of munificence. Enough for us
now, if we presume in this particular to
maintain cl reutrance that our meaning cannot be
in any way mistaken--that our motives cannot
be seriously impugned when we express our
anxiety to direct the observation of our reader at
intervals from an exclusive attention to the events
transpiring in the East, when we remind him that
there are other seats of war than the Crimea, and
other beleaguered cities besides Sebastopol.

It is from our conviction of the enormous im-
portance of several of the nearly entirely overlooked
occurrences to which we are here making reference
—occurrences immediately contemporaneous with
the war waged by England, and France, and Turkey
against the Russian autocracy—that we propose
to specify one by one more in detail some of the
more remarkable among those incidents in the
onward march of civilisation. It will be suffi-
cient for our purpose if, at the present moment,
we make only cursory mention of events such as
the probable revival of the Kafir war—as the
casual evidence of disaffection among our colonists
in Australia—as the increase of squalor and
wretchedness in America, consequent upon the
" Irish Exodus," in a wild search after food and
employment—as the brigand-like conspiracy for
the seizure of Cuba, adventured upon by certain
diplomatists, representing the policy and morality
of Transatlantic Republicanism : such events, in
fine, as the continued spread of the Chinese
Revolution—in other words, the continued diffu-
sion among the most populous people upon the
surface of the earth of a mongrel civilisation and
a spurious Christianity.

RUSSIA.

A letter from Odessa of the 16th March appears
in the New Munich Gazette :
"The cavalry corps concentrated around Odessa, under

THE BALTIC.

We learn that the approaches to Abo, Hel-
singfors, and every town on the coast from Wiborg
up to Tornea, have been rendered impassable
by the sinking of vessels in the sailing channel ;
in Abo and Bjorneborg and other towns the inha-
hitants have formed themselves into sharpshooter
corps, and armed themselves with double-barrelled
rifles. On the southern coast of the Baltic the con-
viction is general that Riga will be the first point
attacked in the coming Baltic campaign. On the
sea side vessels and large blocks of stone are being
sunk at the entrance to the bay, so that the shal-
lowest-going craft shall not be able to pass Duna-
munde. At the further end of the bay there have
been several heavily armed batteries erected, in a
semi-circular form. On the land side a fortified
camp is being formed, capable of containing two
divisions of Russian troops. The Baltic army, that
was understood to have been intended by the late
Emperor to be brought up to 100,000 men, is now
stated to be about to be raised to 140,000 men.

STRICTURE of the URETHRA : its Rational
Treatment and Prompt Cure.
By F B. COURTENAY,
Member of the Roy.] College of surgeons of England.
" We believe Mr. Courtenay's experience in the treatment of stric-
ture during the last twenty yea•rs has.equallcd, if, indeed, it has not
surpassed, that of an of his contemporaries. It is, therefore, no
matter of sut r rise that he should enjoy the reputation of being a
most dexterous and skilful manipu ator wills urethral instruments ;
and when it is remembered that the lamented Liston used to assert
that the introduction of instruments through a stricture which had
previously been impermeable to them, was the most difficult in the
whole ranee of surgical operations, it must be no slight source of
wratification on Mr. 'ourtenay's part to have achieved the reputation
he has In this res ,ect ; and for our part, with the knowledge we have
of his experience, we know 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.

MISS JEWSBITRY'S NEW NOVEL,
CONSTANCE HERBERT,
Is now ready at all the Libraries, in 3 vols.
FROM 'ME ATFIEDLEUM.—" Constance Herbert is a poem in its
beauty and its bony purpose—a romance in its variety and fascina-
tion. The tale, as a tale, is deeply interesting, full of quiet pathos
and a calm and beauttiul morality. It will be read with rare pleasure,
and remembered with healthful interest."

MISS P. NORTON'S "GATHERINGS."

Last night an entertainment was given by Mr. and
Mrs. T. G. Reed, in the lower room of St. Martin's'
ball. It is scarcely necessary to explain that Mrs. 2
G. Reed is the " Miss Priscilla Horton " who imeao •
talised herself as Ariel, when Mr. Macready revived
The Tempest at Covent-garden Theatre, and since that
time has been the main support of countless burlesques
in which vocal talent was required as a necessary ad'
junct of vivacious and intelligent acting.
The new entertainment, which is entitled "Illusfra'
tive Gatherings," is divided into two parts. In the first,
which is called the "Animated Bouquet," Mr. and Mrs.
Reed are supposed to be en a visit at the house of a lacii
in a country village, and while Mr. Reed performs the
office of explanatory " chorus " (in the Shaksperian
sense), Mrs. Reed successively assumes the different
characters whom they are supposed to meet. Mrs.,
Myrtle, the hostess, who is overflowing with energy and
hospitality ; Miss Snowberry, a faded beauty of some'
what sour temperament, who sings a capital song with
a " moral ;" Sir Johnqeill, an empty-headed handsome
gentleman, with a huge pair of whiskers and an inter-
minable giggle, which most comically contrasts with
the expression of a sentimental ballad of his own com-
position ; and Miss Fuchsia Willow, a languishing
beauty, with a profusion of curls and a taste for nothing
—are ail excellent impersonations, complete in dress,
voice, action, and appearance. More eccentric, but
equally clever is a dialogue, in a broad dialect, between,.
tw., old dames, each of whom is represented by one hall
of Mr-i. Reed, the fair artiste having one costume on her
right side, the other on her left.
The second part of the entertainment is entitled the
"Earaged Musician," and is evid,-ntly based on the
idea of Hogartlfe picture. Mr. T. Reed is the ronsi" ciao, engaged in the composition of an opera, and Mrs.
Reed becomes in turn a talkative landlady, au itinerant
Italian boy, a rustic housemaid, with an abnormal de'
velopment of the organ of order, and a French cants.
' trice. In this new set of characters Mrs. Reed's impel'
swotting talent is again displayed to the utmost advan-
tage, and her brilliant execution of "Robert, toi quo
j'airtie," brings the whole entertainment to an effective
conclusion.
This novel experiment of Miss P. Horton has proved
thoroughly successful, though the enthusiastic audience
of Mr. A. Mellon's concert, which was held in the room
above, were sometimes so plainly heard iselow as almost
to occasion an interruption. On the repetition of the
entertainment, however, we would counsel abbreviation,
especially in the first part, where two or three character;
that we have not enumerated may be omitted with
advantage.

VISIT OF THE EMPEROR OF THE FRENCH.

The LORD MAYOR on taking the chair said,—Before

the business of the day commences, I feel it my duty in
compliment to this CJurt to state that I have bad se-
veral applications made to me by members for permission
to place notices on the paper of business relative to the
approaching visit of the Emperor of the French to this
country. I thought it unwise that such notices should
appear at present, more especially as I am to have com.
munication to-day With the authorities, after which it
will be necessary to consider the prudence and desirable.
ness of their being put on the paper or not. (Hear,
hear.) Having had several notices of motion handed to
mo by members of the Court, I thought it right to men-
tion the subject—a subject of the deepest interest—re-
lating as it does to the visit to this country of the ruler
of a ,great and powerful people—our brave and gallant
rags. (Cheers.)

EAST INDIA COLLEGE, ADDISCOM3E.

The half-yearly public examination of the gentlethen
cadets educated at the East India Company's military
seminary, was held yesterday in the presence of Mr.
Elliot Macnaghten, chairman ; Colonel Sykes, F.R.S.,
deputy-chairman ; a majority of the Court of Directors.
The Right Hon. Vernon Smith, M.P., and Maharajah

The number of cadets brought forward for examination
was 38.

The following distribution of prizes then took place:—
C. H. Luard, second mathematics, first, general good
conduct, the Pollock medal.

The CHAIRMAN, in presenting the sword and Pollock
medal, said : In the name of the directors of the East
India Company I have great pleasure in presenting you
this sword. It is the most appropriate reward that we
can offer, and it is at the same time, I feel assured, the
most gratifying and the proudest possession which you,
sir, as a young soldier, can possibly receive. With
honour, sir, you have won it, and with honour may you
long-be permitted to wear it. (Great cheering.) I have
again to congratulate you, sir, your family and friends,
on this further evidence of your good conduct and suc-
cess. The medal is awarded to you as the senior cadet,
and ranking highest in general merit. It was struck by
the inhabitants of Calcutta to commemorate the distin-
guished services of my gallant friend and colleague, Sir
George Pollock.' May it, sir, excite your best endea•
yours to imitate his brilliant example. (Cheers.)

perceiving that a misconception exists as to the period at
which Newspapers may, under the Bill which has passed the House
of Lords, but has not yet received the Royal assent, be printed with-
oat stamps, think it right to give notice that it will not be lawful to
print any newspaper without stamps until after fourteen days from
that on which the Bill mentioned shall have received the Royal
assent, and that the Bill will not, as seems to be supposed, take
effect in that respect from the passing thereof.
