ever, desert the men of Glasgow. He would
not abandon those who had promised him
their unpurchased and unpurchaseable suffrages,
but rather relinquished the desirable situation
which would have been considered an ample re-
ward for efficient Parliamentary services during
many successive years. He received, in one re-
spect, the just reward of his manly and disin-
terested conduct. The citizens of Glasgow placed
him triumphantly at the head of the poll, and he
took his seat in the popular branch of the Legi-
slature
as Representative for the largest town
constituency in. the British dominions. Since
then his proceedings have been patent to the
world, and we believe that none of those by whom
he was chosen would have wished any alteration.
In attendance he was not merely diligent, but
apparently indefatigable. No temptation could
induce JOHN MACGREGOR to desert his post. His
place was never vacant on any important occa-
sion. His votes, too, could never be objected to.
We defy any person to point out a single division
on which he was to be found in the wrong lobby.
But these advantages were not all that flowed from
the conmrtion between himself and his constitu-
ents. He met them every year to explain his own
conduct and to hear the expression of their wants
and wishes ; and some of the most lucid papers
on financial and other political subjects have been
identified with the name of the Representative of
the citizens of Glasgow. The address of the Hon.
Gentleman (which will be found in another part
of this day's impression) will be found worthy of
a place with those to which we have so frequently
directed the public attention. It is indeed an
admirable resume not only of the events of the
bygone session, but of all the proceedings since
the summary removal of " the English Minister"
led to the overthrow of the RUSSELL Government.
The changes that have since occurred are depicted
with a master-hand, and the financial subjects are
treated in a peculiarly lucid manner. We heartily
commend. it to the consideration of our readers.
It will be found eminently deserving of a careful
and attentive perusal.

LATEST FOREIGN NEWS.

RUSSIA AND TURKEY.

News from Constantinople to the 19th inst., say
the Turks were anxious for a pacific settlement
through the aid of the four Powers, but they re-
quired some alteration in the note that had been
sent from Vienna. A Turkish courier was to pro-
ceed to that place on the 20th, with the note modi-
fied according to their wishes. The changes are
said not to be of an important character, nor such
as will prevent a peaceful solution of the question.
In Paris, it is thought that the Emperor of
Russia is secretly throwing obstacles in the way, to
gain time ; that, notwithstanding all that has been
done, his troops will pass the winter in the Princi-
palities ; and, finally, that he has not yet aban-
doned the hope of seeing France and England em-
broiled in some way or other, and their relations
in 1854 different from what they now are.
The Cologne Gazette has the following from Con-
stantinople, 11th :—" The American vessels-of-war
have been all united under one commander in con-
sequence of the affair of Costa not being yet ter-
minated, and the Austrian squadron having been
concentrated."

The only original articles of any interest in the
Paris Journals are on the Eastern question. The
.Assernblee _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 op por-
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
per Cents. opened at 80f. 30c., and fell to 80f., at
which they closed for the end of the month. The
Four-and-a-Half per Cents. closed at 105 f. 10c. ' •
