AFFAIRS OF THE EAST.

The Semaphore of the :23d instant, publishes th e fol-
lowing letter from Comsltantinopie, dated the 7th :
.‘ We have just been in formed that England, France,
and Austria, have signed. a treaty in Vienna for the main-
tenance of the integr:ity of the Ottoman Empire. Russia
declined adherinr.; to the Convention, because of its
implying a ren%inciation on her part of the treaty
of Unkiar Skelessi. He wishes besides to exer-
cise an Qiclusive protectorship over Turkey. The
Powers who have signed the Vienna Convention
have, it is said, agreed to make a military demon-
stration before Alexandria, in the event of Mehemet
Ali refusing to restore the fleet. The eastern question,
as it now stands, might very well become a Russian
question. Russia exercises more influence than is ge-
nerally supposed over the resolutions of.Mehemet
with whom Count Medem has frequent inverviews , but
that Power now only wishes to gain time, and the great
object of its solicitude is to maintain in full force the
treaty of Unkiar Skelessi, that masterpiece of its eastern
policy. M. de Boutinieff is accordingly doing all he can
to prevent the serious intervention of the great Powers,
and to prevail upon them toallow theTurksandEgyptians
to settle their own differences themselves, for, if once
the Powers determine on acting vigorously, Russia
can
no longer demand the application of a treaty by which
she usurped the exclusive protectorship of Turkey. On
the other hand, she is not in a condition at present to
assume an imposing attitude, for, notwithstanding all
her resources, she has also some political and financial
embarrassments, which would make her apprehensive
of running the chance of a general conflagration.

A company is to be formed at Thurles for the
purpose of lighting that town with gas. The necessary
consent of the Lord Lieutenant for the purpose has
been given in the Gazelle.
On Thursday evening John Ison, a waggoner in
the employment of Mr. Barr, a coal-merchant at
Limehouse, was taken to the London Hospital, having
received a most frightful injury about an hour before.
It appeared that while the unfortunate man was un-
loading his waggon, he had occasion to jump off the
vehicle, when an iron hook caught him under the chin,
and the paint having entered the flesh between the
chin-bone and the gullet, held him suspended until be
was taken off by those who hastened to his relief. He
was conveyed without delay to the London Ilospital,
where on examination it was discovered that, in addi-
tion to the serious injury under the chin, the jaw was
fractured at both joints, so that but faint hopes are
entertained of his ever having the free use of his under
jaw again.

RATHER YANKEYISII.---A Caen journal states
that, a few evenings since, the Avranches and Granville
diligence, having approached too near the edge of the
road, in going down the hill of Calvaire, fell over into a
meadow, upwards of five yards below. The coach
turned completely over in its descent, but alighted no
its wheels, and the horses on their legs. The pass"'
gers and postilion escaped without injury.—G/obe.
[Query.—Did the passengers and postilion hold on while
the horses made this gambol?]
NOVEL NUISANCES—A great deal of confusion
has prevailed in Piccadilly during the last day or two in
consequence of the proceedings o some person holding
possession of the upper part of a house in PiccadillY,
occupied recently by a billiard-table keeper-, who has
converted the first floor into a greengrocer's shop, bang;
ing out bunches of carrots, cabbages, and turnips, *all
placed the words, Gooseberry, greengrocer," in conspi-
cuous letters over the vegetables. This novel sort of
affair attracted such large crowds that it was found ne-
cessary to send for the police, four or five of whom have
been kept constantly on duty about the place ever since
the application was made. Major Anderson a "nail
Magistrate finding the nuisance become every hour
more intolerable, took such steps as enabled Inspector
Beresford to bring the ostensible occupier of the place, a
man named Wyatt, formerly a billiard marker, before
Mr. Dyer upon summons, for having caused a nuisance.
Inspector Beresford proved that the house in question
was occupied below as a cigar shop, and above as a
gaming-house. Something, he believed, connected with
a dispute between the landlord and tenant of the billiard-
rooms had caused the defendant to hang a quantity of
greengrocery in the balcony, a proceeding which natur-
ally caused a mob, consisting of upwards of one hundred
persons, to assemble, and complaint having been made
to the police, he had under the local Act laid a com-
plaint of nuisance against the defendant. Mr. Dyer,
the Marlborough-street Magistrate, said the object of
the St. James's local Act was expressly intended to give
persons a remedy in such cases, without resorting to the
expense of an action, and that he should impose the
penalty of 40s. on the defendant, but that he had no
power to restrain any party from committing a nuisance;
all he could do was to punish the offender when the
ofence was proved.
STRANGE SEAT.—A more striking conjunction
of civilization and barbarism could hardly be given than
by the fact related in the following anecdote. An
English lady lately passing to Constantinople in a steam
vessel, was about to sit down on a convenient looking
basket which stood on the deck, when, to her utter as-
tonishment, she was warned by the Commander not to
do so, as it contained the head of the Governor of the
Dardanelles, on its way to he fixed up before the gOal
of the Seraglio.—Literary Gazelle.

There are some unpleasant reports in cactila
respecting an humble Baronet, a representative in rat'
liament for a county, and who is moreover himself rr
Sir
presented in that assembly by Sir James Graham.
James must have had full knowledge of the condition
of his patron, when he, at the agricultural meeting at
Netherby a few days since, drank with such rapture
the health of the venerable Lord Lonsdale. He was
evidently making his cringing approach to a new patron,
but that high-minded nobleman takes not political rep-
tiles into his favour.—Observer.

From T. J. Pettigrew, F.R.S., to Messrs. S. and
B. Solomons, 96, Cheapside, and 39, Albemarle-street, Pic-
cadilly :—" Gentleman, I have no hesitation in replying to
your inquiry as to the results obtained by the use of your
improved Spectacles; being in the constant habit of read-
ing and writing for many hours together by lamp-light, it
is but justice to say that your newly-invented Spectacle
lenses have afforded me the greatest comfort. When I
employed the ordinary pebbles I never failed to experience
in the morning a great irritation in the eyes. Since I
have used your admirable glasses I suffer from no inconve-
nience of the kind, and my vision is much improved. I
shall ever feel grateful to my good friend, Dr. Blundell,
for having drawn my attention to the subject. Believe
MC to be yours, very respectfully, T. J. PETTIGREW,
