MAP OF RUSSIA AND TURKEY.

An admirable map of the seat of war has just . been
issued from the establishment of the Messrs. Lambert,
at Newcastle-upon-Tyne—a map showing the frontier
provinces of Turkey now occupied by the Russian forces,
together with the principal and fortified towns on the
Danube, the Pruth, and the Dardanelles. It would be
difficult to produce a map more satisfactorily distin-
guished by the merits of clearness in printing and accu-
racy in arrangement. It cannot but be eagerly wel-
comed by our intelligent population.

defendant, a screw-steamer of about 600 tons
whereby the barge, having no fender on board, or other
means of protecting herself, received injury. The
learned judge, in directing a verdict for the defendant
(a pilot of 28 years' standing, and the first proceedino-
ever against him), strongly condemned the practice of
barges floating up with the tide athwart the stream,
instead of being properly navigated, whereby three or
four would extend across the river, blocking up the
whole channel ; and stated that he had adopted it as a
rule never (except under special circumstances) to favour
a barge so being navigated ; and if one man was insuf-
ficient to properly navigate a barge, two must be em-
ployed ; and if two were insufficient, then three or more
must be employed.

gian Charge-d'Affaires in Washington has made an
arrangement with the United States Government,
whereby the latter grants a considerable subsidy for the
establishing of a line of steamers between New York and
Antwerp, on the condition that they commence running
within three months:
