TURKEY AND PERSIA.

_
By intelligence from Constantinople, of the 17th
April, we bear that throughout all the Turkish pro-
vinces a very strong opposition is manifested against
the new taxes.

The Trieste Gazette announces that the fortress of
Herat has sulatnitttd to the Shah of PERSIA. and that
the Persian troops have already taken possession of it.

THE iIIAYNOOTH. GRANT.
Mr. Cobden has returned the following reply to a
memorial on the subject:—
"House of Commons, April 29.
I have to acknowledge the receipt at your
hi:,:dSsir'n—f the memorial signed by 146 clergymen,
holding benefices in the West Riding of Yorks, ex•
pressing the satisfaction which they would feel if they
could depend upon my using my influence (should Ire
present the West Riding in the ensuing Parliament) to
insure the withdrawal of the Maynooth grant. I beg to
assure you that I receive with all the respect and conside-
ration due to an influential body of my constituents this
expression of their wishes upon an important
public question. Representing, however, as I have the
honour to do, 36,000 electors, the exponents of the opi-
nions and interests of a population of nearly a million
and a half, comprising men of every complexion in po-
lities, and of all religious denominations, you will, I
trust, admit that it will be more respectful to them if,
instead of entering upon an explanation of my inten-
tions in this letter, I take an opportunity of stating my
views upon the subject to which the memorial refers in
my place in Parliament. I may with the more propriety
request your concurrence in this course upon the present
occasion, because there is not, as I am aware, any notice
of motion upon the books of the House for withdrawing
the grant in question, and I have the honour to be, Sir,
your obedient humble servant,
" Rev. C. R. Alford." " RICD. COBDEN.

th

revision, shows by simple diagrams the number of persons
that visited the Exhibition daily, the amount of money taken
at the various entrances,
the quantity of refreshments con-
sumed; the names of the Loyal Commissioners; an account
of the origin of the Palace, and its dimensions in feet. In
order that every individual in the country may possess this
statistical reflex of curious and interesting results, to mark
the demolition of the building, and to serve as a memento
of its existence, the Chart will be delivered gratis to every
subscriber and purchaser of the Dispatch on the day stated.
'The Dispatch is published at 4 o'clock every Saturday
morning, in time for the first railway trains leaving London,
and for the morning mails. Early orders should be given to
all newsvenderq, in town or country ; or to Mr. It. J. Wood,
