TURKEY.

Letters from Constantinople of the 16th inst. an-
nounct that dispatches had been received there from
Fuad-Effendi relative to the difficulties with Egypt.
They bad been submitted to the Divan, who was to
to take a definitive resolution on the arrangement
proposed.
• It is in contemplation to construct a railway from
Adrianople to Belgrade. An English company has
applied ter the concession, and it is said that the Sultan
has approved of the plans sent in.

M. MINASI.
Additional proofs of the extraordinary skill attained
by 'this ingenious artist in the production of pen and
ink drawings have again been given by two pictures
recently submitted to our examination. They repre-
segt--tbe one, the statue of "Moses" by Michael
Angelo 3uonnaroti, the other the Eitatuti of " Susan-
nab," by Piammingo, the originals of both of which
are preserved in the galleries of the Vatican. Nothing
scarcely could be finer than -the treatment of these
wonderful subjects by the really master-hand of
M.' Minsai. The force of the attitude, the expression
of the countenance, and the grace of the drapery, in
eanli, are preserved literally "to admiration.' The
drawings, we understand, have been recently inspected
by her Majesty at Buckingham Palace, where they
drew forth the strongest terms of approbation. In
appearands they have all the delicacy and precision
of line eigravibgs, and justify us in saying of the
artist that be is
Strange (f the Standish.

bets of theiThittington Club up ll.' The Rise and Progress
of the &OA Languag.-e."lt was well attended by a highly
respectabli, and, to judge from the frequent bursts of
hearty el louse, a well-delighted audience. The lec-
turer, in ha preliminaty observations, spoke ineulogistic
terms of he great exertions of Milton, Locke, Seat,
Sheridan, Johnson, Walker, &c., to promote, among all
classes of toglisbmen, abetter and more English system
of educatie4 bat he deeply regretted to remark that
their labolrs had not produced fruits commensurate with
the magnitude of the intelligence brought to bear upon
the siikiett, and that. our universities continued, as they
had alwo done, to disregard, as a matter of minor im-
portance, be English, and to postpone it to the study of
the Latin tad Greek languages. "And what," asked
the lecture, "was the consequence? Why, that there
is not .in England, at the present moment (now that
Moore, thi last of the poets, has been gathered to his
fathers) giber among
our statesmen or among our poets,
a 'angle nape irhichwill'bear even -a distant comparison
either withthe Puts, and Chathams, and Burkes, and
Foxes, andQurrans' or with the Goldsmiths, the By,rons,
4134 Carupbes, .the Southeys; the Burns, of the present
and last centuries." He . concluded his lecture li
by reudint, as Specim'ens of the present 'clas-
sical fora of the English language, Burke's
" ApostroPhe to the Queen 'of France" and
thello's&ddresi to the Senate." Upon the oratorical
delivery of iheie two well-known pieces, we will merely:
remark.
114 his style of delivery, distinct enunciation,
dignified expression ot- countenance, and -ju.t apprecia-
tion of chaanter, place him among the very best elocu-
tionists we- have ever heard, and that, judging from the
successful cenit of last Thursday, we can entertain no
doubt but ie will adon prove one of the most valu-
able, and itstruetive, and popular lecturers at our lite-
rary institelons;
