CHOBHAM ATTRACTIVE.
Its bloodless battles create infinite amusement ; the number
of spectators is multiplied by the increasing interest of the grand
spectacle; the military exploits at Chobham are sights seldom wit-
nessed, arid the Attire of the visitors is as much noticed as that of
the forced and their superiors. In this, as in all other concerns, the
cut, make, and superior finish displayed in Summer Clothing infal-
libly point out the benefits derived from the East and West•end
Establishments of E. lifosEs and Sox. The advantages presented
to the public are selection from the most novel and magnificent
Stock of Clothing, Hats, Caps, Hosiery, Boots and Shoes, &c., ever
inspected, for which considerably lower prices are charged than at
any other house in the world.
- -

Merchants, Captains, and Emigrants may procure the most useful
and the most saleable goods at the gigantic Whclesale Department
of E MOSES and Sox's Establishment. The low prices charged will
secure an immense profit on the transit of the goods to any colony
in the world.

All classes of Emigrants outfitted in the best and most economical
manner. Ship sailing information and full lists of outfits for ladies
and gentlemen May be had on application, or post free to any part

THE EASTERN QUESTION.

(From the Times.)
' The latest intelligence received -from Constanti-
nople is of the 9th inst., and it confirms. the state-
ment already transmitted to us by the telegraph,
that on that day the Grand Vizier and Rcschid

Pasha, the Minister for Foreign Affairs, had been
dismissed from their respective offices. The diplo-
matic body were taken by surprise when this
announcement was conveyed to them, for the
change does not seem to have originated in any
political cabal of foreign powers, or, indeed, in any
definite modification of internal policy. It was
explained, as far as we have been able to ascertain,
by the will of the Sultan, who thought he had
reason to complain of the rivalry and personal dis-
sensions of his Ministers, and who had thereupon
resolved to supersede the Grand Vizier, and to
replace Reschid Pasha by Ali Pasha, the same
who was Minister for Foreign Affairs in the au-
tumn, and has just been recalled from the govern-
ment of Smyrna. A few hours' consideration,
however, served to convince the Sultan of the
danger and inconvenience of such a modification
in the executive government at sush a crisis ; espe-
cially as it was Ali Pasha who was involved in the
late disturbance at Smyrna, and he is consequently
on indifferent terms with the Austrian Govern-
ment. His Highness resolved, therefore, to revoke
his decision, and before the close of the day the
Ministers were reinstated in their places.
The next mail will probably bring us the protest
of the Porte against the occupation of the Princi-
palities, and its public reply to the Russian mani-
festo. At the same time, it was understood that
a proclamation would be issued to explain to the
Turks the existing relations of. their Government
with the Christian Powers ; for as we observed a
few days ago, in the eyes of a Mussulman a Chris-
tian friend is but one step removed from a Christi=
foe, and the aggressions of Russia are scarcely
more offensive to the true believer than the pro-
tection of England and France. These feelings
are now so strongly excited in many parts of the
Turkish Empire, but especially in Constantinople
and in the European provinces, that we should be
in no degree surprised at any violence they might
display. The Sultan himself, and the more en-
lightened members of the Divan, who have laboured,
and are still labouring, to connect the Ottoman
Empire with the family of Christian States and the
international relations of Europe, are objects of
suspicion, perhaps of hatred, to the bigoted Turkish
party, who conceive, not perhaps without reason,that
their existence as a nation is inseparably connected
with the ferocity and intolerance of their race.
They feel that there can be, after all, no compromise
between principles so dissimilar and religious senti-
ments so opposed to one another. Wherever the
Mussulman creed ceases to predominate it soon
ceases to exist ; and it ceases to predominate
wherever its ascendancy is not supported by the
rigour of absolute power and military force. Such
was the termination of the Moorish occupation of
Spain, which lingered for a few years only after the
conquest of Grenada, and then died away. Such
will one day be the fate of the Ottoman race in
those fertile provinces in which the domination of
a barbarous master is barely tolerated by the great
majority of his subjects, though it is still treated
as a necessary evil by the Christian Powers.
The Porte itself is without the power to execute its
own decrees of toleration, and it labours in vain to
impress on its inferior officers the spirit of its own
concessions. For although those concessions have
by no means relieved the Christian population of
Turkey from all the evils it has to endure, they
have sufficed to kindle the fiercest resentment among
the extreme Turkish party, and the appeal which
has recently been made by the Porte, in self-de-
fence, to the martial spirit of the army and the
Redif or militia (in which no Christian is suffered
to bear arms) has, of course, given greater intensity
to these passions of religion, national pride, and race.
The Turks are still a warlike people. Their sway
over the European provinces of the empire may
still be preserved for a time by the assistance of the
fierce and fanatical Asiatic tribes. But it is easier
for them to comprehend the duty of resistance at
all hazards and all risks than the nice provisions
by which the diplomacy of highly-civilised and
pacific communities heals a wound or allays a
quarrel.
It is, then, a question at this moment whether
the present Turkish Government and the Sultan
himself will be able to maintain that course of
moderation and forbearance which they have
adopted on the recommendation of their European
allies ; or whether the fact that the territory of the
empire has been invaded, and that negotiations ar
still going on, will not provoke an explosion of
resentment among a party which undoubtedly re-
presents the strongest feelings of the Mussulman
faith and of the Turkish nation. It cannot be
denied that considerable anxiety is entertained on
this point ; and it is one of the most odious and
distressing consequences of the assumed protectorate
by the Emperor of Russia of the Christian popula-
tion of Russia that he unquestionably placed the
Rayahs in the provinces and even the Christians at
Constantinople in a position of considerable danger.
We have no doubt that the Turkish Government
will take all the means in its power to repress, or
rather to prevent, any such outbreak, and the
more so, because the Liberal party in the Turkish
Government would be the first victims, in the event
of the success of the war party. But, in appea ing
to the religious passions of his own subjects in re-
gard to the Eastern Church in the dominions of
another Power, the Emperor Nicholas ought to
have remembered that he inflamed to an equal de-
gree the passions of a nation and a creed even more
intolerant than those of Russia; and the deplorable
effects of that manifesto will be felt far beyond the
boundaries of the Russian Empire. We have no
security that the Porte will be able to control
these feelings of bigotry and resentment among its
subjects—wo have no certainty that the Sultan will
not be prevailed upon to make some further change
in his Ministry as suddenly as that which he at-
tempted on the 9th of July. Either alternative
might lead to very alarming consequences, and at
the present moment the maintenance of tranquillity
at Constantinople is at least as essential as the
adoption of fresh terms of negotiation at St.
Petersburgh.

Sargon defeats the King of Gaza, then subject to Egypt ;
where he receives the tribute of Pharaoh of Egypt ;
where the King of Ashdod flies to Egypt, then subject
to Meroe in Sennacherib's campaign in Palestine ; and
in the titles of Esarhaddon. In all these cases the cor-
rect orthography is Musuri. If this be true, the other
notices hitherto applied to Egypt must indicate some
other place to the north, of Assyria. Thus, in the ac-
count of the building of Khorsabad, the words, " after
the fashion of Egypt," must mean, in reality, "in the
direction of Musr" (" the mountains above Nineveh"
being sometimes added). Again, although " horses"
are certainly indicated in the tribute of Egypt given to
Sargon, and although that monarch speaks of " horses
of Musr" among his especial trophies, he must refer
to this northern region. The most important ques-
tion, however, refers to the tribute of Musr given
to Deleboras, in the third panel of the Nimroud obelisk.
The objects enumerated in the epigraph are " double-
backed camels, oxen of the river Irkiya, elephants, hei-
fers (?), monkeys, and baboons." Colonel Rawlinson
states that he had always hitherto supposed the Irkiya
to be the Erchoas of Upper Egypt. The Tiglath-Pileser
cylinder contains, however, a detailed account of the
conquest of Misr by the Assyrian king, with a list of
forty countries which he overran in Northern Syria, the
names of which are for the most part obscure, perhaps
because they belonged to Scythic tribes. Of these, fif-
teen appear to have been situated to the east of the
Euphrates, in and about the Taurus ; the remainder to
the west of the Euphrates and the shores of the Medi-
terranean. After overrunning these countries, Tiglath-
Pileser attacks the Hittites, and takes Carshemish, which
was at that time apparently on the left bank of the
Euphrates ; and immediately after this follows the ex-
pedition against Musr. In describing afterwards the
extent of, his dominions, he mentions the Mediterranean
as his western limit, and the Lower Zab as his eastern.
On these grounds, Col. Rawlinson now thinks that
Musr represents Persian Armenia. In conclusion, Col.
Rawlinson gives it as his opinion that Nineveh was not
built till about B.C. 1000; Alassar, or Kalah-Sherghat,
being the original capital ; that Babylon appears for the
first time on the Nimroud obelisk, and is then only men-
tioned as a town ; and that the name which he and Dr.
Hineks have hitherto read " Kar-duniyas" is, after all,
nothing else than the Biblical Shinar.

Mr. V Birch read an interesting letter from Mr.
Colnaghi, jun., secretary to Mr. Newton, her Majesty's
vice-consul at Mytilene, in which he states that Mr.
Newton has been busily occupied,in collecting inscrip-
tions in the island of Rhodes, and that he has just
started, accompanied by Mr. Finlay, of Athens, on a
visit to Cos, Patmos, and Scio. It can hardly be
doubted that so able an investigator as Mr. Newton
will find many objects of interest to reward his re-
searches.
Mr. Birch also communicated to the society some cu-
rious results of the late visit to M. Gu6rin to the island
of Samos. It appears that M. Gutrin spent six weeks
there, during which time he was able to explore it very
thoroughly, and to discover the mountain which Hero-
dotus 60) mentions was cut through by Eupalinus,
of Megara. M. Gudrin made several excavations, and
cleared away enough rubbish to enable him to pass along

the ancient tunnel more than 500 paces.
A portion of a paper by Mr. Greenwood, "On cer•
taro Epochal Periods of Papal History," was then read.

ROYAL ASIATIC SOCIETY.

Letters justreceived from Colonel Rawlinson announce
the discovery at Koyunjik of an obelisk of white stone, 9
feet 2 inches in height, and 6 feet 3 inches square at the
base ; its dimensions are, therefore, considerably larger
than the obelisk discovered by Mr. Layard, at Nimroud,
which is in the British Museum. This obelisk was found
lying on its side in the middle of a mound, and about
15 feet below the surface ; it is unbroken, but some
parts of the bas-reliefs and inscriptions with which it is
covered have been defaced by damp. There are eight
bas,reliefs on each side, and each of them is accompanied
by inscriptions. The gentleman in charge of the exca-
vations at Koyunjik was about to send the obelisk to
Colonel Itawlinson, and from his letter announcing the
discovery we extract the following description of the
bas-reliefs :
