TURKEY.
The English residents at Constantinople gave a
grand dinner to Viscount STRATrORD before his be-
parture. At this dinner a very complimentary ad-
dress, numerously signed, was presented to the Noble
Lord, and his health was drunk with great enthu-
siasm. He replied in a speech, in which he said—
" Such striking acknowledgment of the services which
you
kind enough to ascribe to me, indicates
that in estimating them yon have weighed the spirit in
which they were conducted, and the difficulties by which
they were surrounded. It is true, gentlemen, that the
obstacles I have had to combat were sufficiently formid-

must expect to see them arise in Turkey aseertainly as in
they are—corruption, which

that indications of error and weakness are teen in more
than one place, that thy: energy of the Government is
embarrassed by financial
complications,
and that even
the great charter of Ottoman progress is to a certain
point discreditel
by negligence in the execution, or
rather the non.execation, of its promises. Ido not say
this to place in doubt the intentions of the Government,
or to insinuate that I despair of the final restoration of
the empire to a
.more prosperous position. A state of
transition is always more or less a state of weakness;
and 1 entertain the hope that efficacious measures will
be adopted before it be too late to dissipate darkness,
and cause to shine unclouded the rays of European
civilization."

Viscount ST/A.II'ORD concluded by calling atten-
tion to h
importance of establishing railways and
other improvements into Turkey, and
introducing
