TURKEY AND PERSIA.

_
By intelligence from Constantinople, of the 17th
April, we hear 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 submitted to the Shah of PERSIA. and that
the Persian troops have already taken possession of it.

THE MAYNOOTH GRANT.

-- - -
Mr. Cobden bas returned the following reply to a
memorial on the subject:—
-

"House of Commons, April 29.
" Sir,—I have to acknowledge the receipt et your
holding benefices in
memorial signed by 146 clergymen,
the West Riding of Yorks, ex-
hpraensdssingof ththeseatisfaction which they would feel if they
could depend upon my using my influence (should I re-
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-
litics, and of all religious denominations, you will, I
trust, admit that it will be more respectful to them if,
instead
iof entering upon an explanation of my inten-
tions n 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. ' " RICO. COBDEN.

with a smoothness and expression that did honour to the
great composer, and left nothin to desire. Miss M. Williams
sang Land's ballad "When Sgorrow Sleepeth," with great
feeling and delicacy, and Miss Dolby charmed us with her

of its existence, the Chart will delivered gratis to every
subscriber and purchaser of the Dispatch on
the day stated.
