FRANCE.

The only original articles of any interest in the
Paris Journals are on the Eastern question. The
Assemblee Nationale pretends to.have discovered.
the cause of delay in the acceptance by the Sultan
of the propositions of the conference. According
to this journal, Lord Stratford de Redcliffe has
been the obstacle. It is not the first time that in-
sinuations against the representative of the British
Government in Turkey have been made, but they
have not produced the effect intended.
The Siecle says :—" The conduct of the Czar in
the East has not certainly been a whim of youth,
but a serious attempt seriously followed up. In
thrusting a sword into existing treaties, and in de-
bouching with lighted match on the Turkish terri-
tory in the midst of peace, Russian diplomacy had
most certainly an intention, long premeditated,
which it will not leave behind it with the marks of
the wheels of its cannon in the dust of the roads of
Moldavia. The idea which led Russia to the Pruth
will again bring her back there on the first oppor-
tunity. France ought to watch attentively that
no event shall hereafter take her unawares. What
has taken place in the East is a proof of that ne-
cessity."
The Bourse was heavy yesterday. The specu-
lators appeared to be disappointed at the silence of
the Moniteur on the Eastern question. The Three

BRITISH COLLEGE of HEALTH NEW-
ROAD, LONDON.
BIOGRAPHICAL SKETCH of JAMES MORISON, the Hygeist,
with the reasons that led him to the discovery of the Hygeian System
of Medicine and the Vegetable Universal Medicine ( Morison's Pills),
after thirty-five years of inexpressible suffering under the medical
faculty :—" James Morison, the youngest son of Alexander Mori-
son, Esq., was born at Bognie, in the county of Aberdeen, in the
year 1770. The family has been long known as one of great a filu-
ence and respectability, and the subject of this brief sketch was the
second brother of John Morison, late member for Banffshire. In
early life he studied at the University of Aberdeen, and after-
wards at Hanau, in Germany, being intended for the mercan-
tile profession. After finishing his studies, he resided at Riga,
as a merchant, and sutrequently in the West Indies, where
he acquired considerable West India property. liming suffered
much from ill health, he was obliged to leave that country and pro-
ceed to Europe, seeking irom change of clime a restoration to
health. is e cannot do better than describe the following interesting
particulars given by himself in the Moilsoniana:—" A thirty-five
years' inexpressible suffering, both of body and mind, is an event
too, which falls but to the lot of few, if of any at all. Had it pleased
God to have called me out of this world eight years ago, I should
have died as another man, and been :o-gotten, and the world could
have reaped no benefit from my case and misfortunes nor from the
favourable effects produced by the same means on my children. This
is a guarantee to the world not often to be met with, and a convincing
proof of the motto prefixed to this advice, that ' Health and old age
are within the reach of us all.' " Far the remainder of the biography

for the sale of Morison's Pills. Family motto—Uno Ictu—at one
blow. Family estate—Strawberry-vale, Finchley, Middlesex.

QOUND and WHITE TEETH are not only
indispensably requisite to a pleasing exterior in both sexes,
but they are peculiarly appreciated through life as a blessing highly
conducive to the purposes of health and longevity, Among .;,he vari-
ous preparations offered for the purpose, ROWLANDS' ODONTO, or
Pearl Dentifrice, stands unrivalled in its capability of embellishing,
purifying, and preserving the teeth to the latest period of 11-e. Pre-
pared from Oriental herbs, with unusual care, transmitted to dots
country at great expense, this unique compound will be found to
eradicate all tartar and concretions, impart a pearl-like whiteness to
the enamelled surface, remove spots of incipient decay, render the
gums firm and red, flx the teeth firmly in their sockets, and, from its
aromatic influence, impart sweetness and purity to the breath. It is
Important to observe, that when used early in life, it effectually pre-
vents all aches in the teeth and gums, offeces spots and discolours-
tion, eradicates scurvy, and, in a word, soon realises the chief attri-
bute of health and beauty—a Fine Set of Pearly Teeth. Price 2s.

SPORTING INTELLIGENCE.

TATTERSALL'S—THURSDAY.
A remarkably thin attendance, and very little busi-
ness transacted. Enough, however, was done to show
that the favourite for the St. Leger was not so firm as
his backers could wish, although 500 to 400 and 100 to
80 were laid on him at the commencement ; yet, towards
the close, 6 to 5 would have been taken to some money
"that he does not win.'
Sittingbourne, meanwhile, had an advancing tendency.
After 5 to 1 had been laid to upwards of 3001. offers of
9 to 2 found acceptors ; 200 to 50 was taken once, but
9 to 2 was the closing price.
Bto 1 was laid to 501. agst Cineas. 6to 1 would
have been taken about Rataplan.

THE ORLEANS FAMILY.

This morning, at ten o'clock, all the members of the
ex-Royal family of France, at present in this country, at-
tended the requiem mass, celebrated each year in the
Catholic chapel (that of St. Charles Borromeo) at Wey-
bridge—in commemoration of the death of his late Ma-
jesty the ex-King Louis Philippe. Long before the
arrival of Queen Amehe with her attendant Princes and
Princesses, the approaches to the little edifice under
which repose the remains of the unfortunate monarch,
were marked by groups of refugees, sympathisers of the
exiled dynasty—resolutely braving the inclemency of
wind and rain, for the purpose of evidencing their at-
tachment to an unhappy house, and their remembrance
of a melancholy anniversary.

CREWS'S CHLORIDE OF ZINC,
the he'd and Cheapest Disinfecting Fluid for the purification
of Ship's Holds, Cesspools, Drains, W ater-closets, &c. ; the Disin-
fection of Sick Rooms, Clothing, Linen, and for the Prevention of
Contagion.
Chloride of Zinc, as the best Disinfecting and purifying agent, is
now established beyond all doubt. It is perfectly harmless in its
application and innosious in itself. The high price at which it has
hitherto been sold has prevented its general use ; to obviate this
obstacle to its universal application as a disinfecting and purifying
agent, the present manufacturer, who was many years with Sir W.
Burnett's Company, has arranged to supply the public with concen-
trated Chloride of Zinc in its greatest purity and at the lowest price.
It is sold by all Chexists and Shippine Agents in the United King-
dom, in Imperial Quart Bottles at 2s. 6d. each, and in larger vessels
at Cs. per Gallon.
Each Bottle will be accompanied with instructions for its dilution
and use. Conce,trated Chloride of Zinc in use may be diluted with
200 times its quantity of water.

which repose the remains of the unfortunate monarch,
were marked by groups of refugees, sympathisers of the
exiled dynasty—resolutely braving the inclemency of
wind and rain, for the purpose of evidencing their at-
tachment to an unhappy house, and their remembrance
of a melancholy anniversary.

THE WEST COAST OF AFRICA.

The General Screw Steam Shipping Company's
mail packet Propontis, Captain W. Glover, arrived
at Plymouth on Saturday forenoon from the coast
of Africa.
Her cargo consists of 69 casks of palm oil, 27
tons of camwood, 28 cases of arrowroot, 101 cases
of Cayenne pepper, 51 casks ditto, 812 bags of
ginger, 241 bags of port pepper, 130 pieces of ivory,
62 bags of cochineal, 8 boxes and 5 parcels of sun-
dries, and 11 packages of bullion.
The bark Gambia arrived at Fernando Po on the
13th of January. On the 14th there was a rumour
that one of the receiving ships at Bonny had been
burnt on Christmas-day. Governor Hill had, on
the 20th of January just returned to Cape Coast,
from a visit to Dix Cove and Elmina. The garri-
son was in a very healthy state. The Gold Coast
Corps had got their full strength, there having
been no want of recruits.
The colony was healthy, and had been particularly
so during the past year, owing to the extraordi-
nary quantity of rain which fell in the wet season,
measuring over two hundred inches.
The officers of the West India Regiment, sta-
tioned in the garrison, under the command of Cap-
tain Taylor, had been relieved, Captain Macdonald
having assumed the command.
At Goree, on the 4th of February were four
French war steamers. _

The Propontis on her outward passage to Ma-
deira encountered severe gales from S.W. ; the
ship was at times hove to, the sea being too heavy
to force her against it. From Madeira to Goree
fresh N.E. trades prevailed for two days ; from
which to Fernando Po and back to Sierra Leone,
light airs, and hot sultry weather ; from Sierra
Leone to Madeira, northerly winds, with a strong
head sea ; from Madeira to Cape Finisterre, strong
northerly winds. She put into Coruna for coals,
and thence to Plymouth encountered strong
northerly and north-east gales.

TURKEY.

- -
The Austrian Correspondence says :—" Several
journals have announced that the Austrian Govern-
ment have demanded from the Ottoman Porte the
Cession of the two tongues of land of Kleck and
Sutorina. That intelligence is devoid of founda-
tion. Austria by no means pretends to interfere
with the rights of other states, but it will not perr
mit others to interfere with its own. The Ottoman
Porte desires to arrogate •to itself rights over the
sea shore of these countries, which has always bd-
longed exclusively to Austria. The Venetians,
and afterwards the French, had the uncontested
possession of that line of coast. By international
treaties, Austria became possessed of the rights of
the Venetians, and at a later period, after a brief
interruption, of those of the French. Under such
circumstances, Austria will not make to Turkey
concessions which would compromise her interests,
and in support of which Turkey cannot bring for-
ward any title."

AUSTRIA.

The health of the Emperor is satisfactory.
The journals express a hope that the late dis-
orders will determine England to send Kossuth and
Mazzini out of the country.
The assassin has declared that he made the at-
tempt to avenge his father, who was condemned
for participation in the Hungarian insurrection
He was executed on Saturday morning.
There was a panic at the Bourse of Vienna, in
consequence of the complications of the Austro-
Turk negotiations.

endowment, or favouring of one sect, as, pro
tanto, the persecution of the rest. Sir Wm. CLAY,
in seconding the amendment, asserted that, as Pro-
testantism rested upon the right of private judg-
ment, and as ecclesiastical establishments were op-
posed to the right of private judgment, there could
in a Protestant community be no logical defence
of them. Mr. MIALL was cheered for refusing
to vote for the motion, because it would con-
stitute the House a judge of religious truth
and error, and even his startling parodox—
" that .he would rather give the money of the
State for the support of error than for the support
of truth," was also cheered, when he explained
himself to mean, " that he would rather do some-
thing to support by external means a bad system,
than kill the vitality of a good one, and that the
last creed he would consent to endow was his own,
and that because he believed in it." When Mem-
bers of the Government, and independent Mem-
bers are listened to with respect, and even appro-
bation, while discoursing in this way, it seems
pretty clear that we shall hear of no more ecclesi-
astical grants. Nor ought we. The wealth al-
ready set apart to religious purposes is surely am-
ple. Let it only be rightly used.
In regard to the main question, we decidedly
oppose meddling with the grant singly. When-
ever the day shall come that all similar acts can
be repealed upon a broad ground, it will be an-
other case. Heartily do we wish that each creed
would maintain itself, and spare us these Parlia-
mentary theological quarrels. Till then, in common
with the great mass of honourable Englishmen, we
should regard the abolition of the Act as a piece
of petty persecution, as having at least every ap-
pearance of it. We would err rather on the side
of generosity than of persecution, even towards a
system which hits incurred the just detestation of
the English nation.

GENERAL POST-OFFICE.

Owing to the very rapid increase of business, it 10
now become absolutely necessary to provide further se;
commodation for the various departments of officials
the General Post-office, St. Martin's-le-Grand, and
mediate measures to that effect are in contempla,tiol:
Our readers will learn, perhaps with surprise, that srio
though in 1846, the penny postage had been for 5 Ye`tia
in operation, the present average excess of businees,,4
an interval of something more than 6 years over wa
average at that time, amounts to 260,000 letters srrla,
14,000 newspapers daily. In other words, the Geneo
Post-office in the course of 1853 will transmit 94,000,00
Tatters, and 1,825,000 newspapers over and above oh e
passed through it 6 years ago. If the gigantic Obeli'
of an Oceanic penny postage should ever come into
is
ration, it is quite clear that the present building, wilelera
is incapable of any great extension on either its northh r
or eastern side, will have to be exchanged for anst. ee
far larger and more commodious. The present buildisi
• h b"
was erected in 1829, when the business, which,
hitherto been transacted at the old office in Lorni""00
street, was transferred to it ; and at that tune it la
s
calculated that it would amply suffice for the w831t,,,, of
the nation for a century at least to come. A quarw:
a century has proved the falsity of such an anticipstra,
We understand that Mr. Phipps, of the Board of t
lic Works, has had an interview with the authorities:
St. Martin's-le-Grand on the subject of the conteino
alteration.

TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN.

SlR,—The Australian mail packet which ought to
have left Plymouth on the 2nd of this month has not
left yet, and it appears 'probable that she will be
detained for some days. She has a very heavy mail
on board, and supplementary mails will, there is no
doubt, be made up daily for her until she starts.
Now, on Friday next the Australian mail via Indi
will be dispatched, which ought to contain in regular
course all letters posted since the 2nd inst., but
which will in fact contain very few letters, because all
the correspondence will be put on board the Australian
packet at Plymouth. Now the Australian mail via
India, which leaves on Friday, is due at King George's
Sound on the Ist of May, Adelaide on the 7th, Port
Philip on the 10th, and Sydney on the 13th of May.
There is no doubt punctuality will be observed, because
the mail will be conveyed by the ships of the Peninsular
and Oriental Company. Even if the Australian
packet, via the Cape of Good Hope, leaves Plymouth in
a few days, there is no knowing when she will reach
her destination. Certainly there is no chance of her
reaching Australia as early as the mail via India. It is
most unfortunate, therefore, for the mercantile commu-
nity, that all their Australian correspondence should be
on board. the Plymouth packet, when it could be sent
much quicker by way of India. Could not the mails be
trans-shipped from the Plymouth steamer, and placed on
board the Southampton packet which takes out the
Australian mail via India on Friday ? If this cannot be
done, I submit that the Post-office authorities should
not send any supplementary mail to Plymouth between
this and Friday.
