DRITRY-LANE.—EQUESTRIAN AND GYIINASTIC PER-
FORMANCES.—No sooner has the dramatic season been
brought to a successful conclusion than the note of pre-
paration falls upon the ear indicative of the forthcoming
interesting and popular entertainments, in support of
which the lessee has made engagements with a galaxy
of talent of acknowledged and even world-renowned
celebrity. In the arrangements of Mr. smith are in-
cluded the names of the first male and female equestrians,
not of our own country alone, but also from France and
America • including Hermandez, Eaton Stone, New-
some, dadame Pauline Newsome (from Franconi's,
Paris), Stoke's American Wonders, Ella and Leon, and
many others. The facetious Tom Barry, aided by his
mirth-provokingiconfreres, Messrs. Doughty and Knight,
are also engaged. As professors of gymnastic art, we
should look in vain for names such as the brother&
Elliot, Messrs. Russelli, Zamesou, and Arthur Barnes,
who has accomplished, with infinite ease and grace, the
unprecedented feat of throwing 91 summersaults in suc-
cession. A combination of fortuitous circumstances has
placed the lessee in a position to combine this array of
talent for a season necessarily limited, owing to the
other engagements of the various talented artistes.
STRAND THEATRE.—The benefit to be given to Mr.
Crosby, previous to his departure for the Colonies, and

appearance in England.
LORD BYRON'S OPINION OF THE TURKS.—In all
money transactions with the Moslems, Laver found the
strictest honour, the highest disinterestedness. In trans-
acting business with them, there are none of those dirty
peculations under the name of interest, difference of
exchange, commission, &c., &c., uniformly found on
applying to a Greek consul to cash bills, even on the first
houses in Pera. In the capital and at court, the citi-
zens and courtiers are formed in the same school with
those of Christianity ; but there does not exist a more
honourable, friendly, and high-spirited character than
the true Turkish provincial Aga, or Moslem country
gentleman. The lower orders are in as tolerable disci-
pline as the rabble in countries with greater pretensions
to civilisation. A Moslem in walking the streets of our
county towns, would be more incommoded in England
than a Frank in a similar situation in Turkey.
The Ottomans, with all their defects, are not a.
people to be despised. Equal at least to the Spaniards,
they are superior to the Portuguese. If it be difficult
to say what they are, we can at least say what they are
not ; they are not treacherous, they are not cowardly,
they do not burn heretics, they are not assassins, nor
has an enemy advanced to their capital. They are
faithful to their Sultan until he becomes unfit to govern,
and devout to their God without an Inquisition. Were
they driven from St. Sophia to-morrow, and the French
or Russians enthroned in their stead, it would become a
question whether Europe would gain by the exchange.
England would certainly be the loser. With regard to
that ignorance of which they are so generally, and some-
times justly accused, it may be doubted, always except-
ing France,and England, in what useful points of know-
ledge they are excelled by other nations. Is it in com-
mon arts of life ? In their manufactures ? Is a Turkisk
sabre inferior to a Toledo ? or is a Turk worse clothed
and lodged, or fed and taught, than a Spaniard ? Are
their pashas worse educated than a orgrandce?o._
