TURKEY.

TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN.
SIR,—I think the advice given by Sir Edward Codrington,
in the House of Commons, on Friday last, to admit the pro-
ducts of Turkey upon the same liberal terms that she receives
our manufactures—viz., free of duty—deserves the serious at-
tention of Ministers. If this system of reciprt'city were adopted,
we should soon compel the other nations in the South of Eu-
rope, whose productions are similar to those of Turkey, to act
as she does. With the Northern Powers we are precluded
from pursuing such wise policy by the absurd Corn and Timber
Duties. This act of common justice to Turkey would be of
service to her in a political, as well as in a commercial, Niew,
and would do more towards assisting her to throw off the
thraldom of Russia than any direct interference on our part
could. More intercourse with her would tend to enlighten
her. She possesses many advantages--her population are a
fine and noble race, only debased by bad Government—her
climate is excellent, and soil fertile—property pretty equally
divided. She is without a debt, and without an Aristocracy.
If the Board of Trade would only ascertain the duties charged
by different countries on our manufactures, and trOat their ex-
ports accordingly when they arrived here, I am satisfied our
commerce might be greatly extended.
Mr. Poulett Thomson, I think, is disposed to this line of
conduct, after he has got clear of the arrangements of his Tory
predecessors, who never troubled their heads about the in-
terest cf England, unless it had happened to be their interest,
and that of their immediate friends.

I am, Sir, yours respectfully,

MERCATOR.

SHOCKING CIRCUMSTANCE.—Yesterday a regu-
lar Irish row took place in St. Giles's, when men and women
fought with sticks, stones, and brickbats in a desperate mari-
ner, and several were seriously injured. An old man, named
Patrick Ryan was knocked down and beaten so dreadfully
about the head and body, that he was carriedNto his residence
in a hopeless condition. One of his assailants bias taken into
custody.

A FLYING RAILWAY.—A railway has been made
on the New Orleans and Nashville road (Mr. Renney, the very
intelligent engineer of which is now in this country) which is
intended to bear a velocity of 60 miles per hour ; and Mr. Ste-
phenson has actually contracted to supply an engine which will
perform this with a load of two hundred tons !--Illechanica'
Magazine.
Last night there was a repetition of the black-
balling of Liberal candidates at the Athenaeum. As one ad-
verse ball in ten excludes the candidate for admission, we an-
ticipate the exclusion of all candidates hereafter, for the Liberals
can equally act on the same tactics. How mean and dastardly
is this conduct of the Tories
JOSEPII ADY AT IT AGAIN.—We have received
from a gentleman near Linlithgow, a letter addressed to him
by this personage (by post), of which the following is a copy ;
The undersigned is able to inform you of something he
believes to your advantage, on receipt of 203. for his trouble,
by post-office order or otherwise, Respectfully (signed)
Joseph Ady, accountant, No. 7, York-street, Charlotte-street,
Whitechapel-road, Feb. sth, 1836. No letters received un-
cgs post.paid."—Scotch Paper.
MONUMENT TO THE MEMORY OF THE LATE
Ma. COBBETT.—A meeting was held on Saturday last at the
British Coffee-house, Cockspur-street, to devise means for
erecting a monument to the memory of that celebrated writer,
the late William Cobbett. Mr. Rogers, of High Street, was
in the chair, and was supported by Mr. Fielden, M.P., and
Mr. W. Williams, M. P., both of whom addressed the meet-
ing. Mr. O'Connell was also present for a short time, snd
expressed his readiness to further by eycpymeans in his pOwer
the objet th,ql !'acl in ,Tas Merely pre-
paratOi'y to 4nolller on a larger wale; which is to 1)e held
shortly at the Freemasons' Tavern, and of which due notice
will be given to the public. It was understood, however, that
the meeting would not be convened until after the Easter
recess, when several Members of Psr4ment will be ably, to
attend.--Mr. l ieirlen was 41/PlPtels-iu trearer pro tCni.—
