TUE CASE OF COLONEL TUE.

Correspondence from Constantinople states that Vis-
count Stratford de Redcliffe has protested energetically
against the late arrest of Colonel Tur by the Austrian
commander at Bucharest. The Porte also has expressed
itself to the Austrian minister at Constantinople as
deeply aggrieved by this outrage, seeing that the Turkish
territory was the scene, and that the officer arrested is
attached to an allied army, the individual members of
which, by virtue of a treaty, have the right to circulate
throughout the Sultan's dominions.
It appears from the Ost Deutsche Post that on the 30th
ult. Colonel Tur was in prison at Kronstadt, and that a
council of war had pronounced his sentence.

DEATH OF THE REV. R. MONTGOMERY.

On Monday morning last the above-named eminent
divine and preacher expired unexpectedly at Brighton,
where he had a week previously preached a sermon ; and
was, on Sunday last, in his own chapel, Percy-street,
Tottenharn•court-road, to have pleaded on behalf of the
bishopric sf Victoria, but was prevented doing so by an
attack of the bile, which was, though unseen, destined
to terminate his valuable career at nearly the age of
fifty. lie has left behind him a widow and ono child.
Mr. Montgomery was ;in the 'University of
0.i.0.ra, and about the year 1835 was ordained a priest
of the Established Church. He went to Glasgow,
where he became incurahont of An Rriaoopal Ohipcl,
which was crowded to excess ; but, unfortunately, there
was much religious antagonism between him and his
Presbyterian neighbours. The rev, gentleman, quitting
Glasgow, came to London and resumed his ministerial
labours in Percy-street Chapel, which he rented to the
day of his death. Of his impassioned and fervent elo-
quence much may be said—an eloquence, combined
with great powers of reasoning, which invariably drew
a large congregation, among whom were persons dis-
tinguished in science, art, and literature.
Mr. Montgomery, while at College, obtained the
highest honours, and, among other things, courted the
Muse, which, in after years, gained him so much poetical
renown. His lea•ling poetical works are, ." Tne Omni-
presence of the Deity," " Satan," and " Luther."

Mr. Emanuel, the eminent jeweller, of No. 5, Hano-
