TURKISH COMMERCIAL TREATY.—Your numerous
commercial readers may not be displeased to be re-
minded that the commercial treaty existing between
France and Turkey will expire in April next, and that it
was concluded in the year 1838, when Russian influence
was predominant at Constantinople. The consequence
of the successful Russian intrigue was, that the terms of
the treaty are . most unfavourable to the French, and at
the same time highly advantageous to Russian commer-
cial interests ; so much so, that a Marseilles merchant
has been frequently compelled to borrow the name of a
Russian, in order to operate with any chance of success
in the Levant. The Emperor of France has determined
that this state of things shall no longer continue, and
that France shall at least be placed on an equality with
the most favoured nations. For this purpose the Mi-
nister of COmmerce has, in anticipation of a new treaty
of commerce between France and the Porte, addressed a
number of questions to the Chamber of Commerce at
Marseilles.—Times Correspondent at Marseilles, August
30, 1854.
CAUTION TO FARM LABOURERS AGAINST SMOKING
WHEN AT WORK.—On Friday, about 1 p.m., a stack of 100
wheat, on Hazel-end Farm, Farnham, the crop of 10 ' 5
acres, one of barley, from four acres, and some oats, the 5
property of Mr. Wm. Spencer, were consumed by fire. 4
It was ascertained that four men, named Devall, War- 20
man, Milton, and Saggs, were at work on the stack, ,25
when Milton asked Saggs to light his pipe ;he did so, 25
and threw the piece of paper on the ground, putting his 1
foot on it to extinguish it, as he expected. Saggs then 15
turned round and gave the pipe to Milton, and directly 20
afterwards the stack was on fire, evidently caused by 20
the piece of paper igniting some loose straw near the 2?
stack ; this was the account given by all the men when 10
questioned separately, and Mr. Spencer is satisfied that 2
the fire was thus originated. The property was insured,
and another stack of wheat was saved by taking it down 1
and removing it. 1
COMPARISON OF DISPUTED WRITING.—A. new feature 20
is introduced in the New Common Law Procedure Act 4
with respect to disputed handwriting. It is provided 0
by the 27th section, that comparison of a disputed writ- 2
ing with any writing proved to the satisfaction of the too
judge to be genuine shall be permitted to be made by 1
witnesses, and such writings, and the evidence of wit- 25
nesses respective, the same, may be submitted to the 1
court and jury as evidence of the genuineness or other-
wise of the writing in dispute. 10
