NORTHERN and EASTERN RAILWAY.

The Directors of the Northern and Eastern Railway
Company dined together with their friends on Wednesday,
at Lovegrove's West India Dock Tavern, Blackwall.
Among those invited were Mr. Ward, M. P. for St.
Alban's ; Mr. Alston, M.P. for Hertfordshire ; Mr. Pryme,
M.P. for Cambridge ; Mr. Handley, M.P. for Lincoln-
shire ; Mr. William Marshall, M.P. ; Mr. Fuller Mait-
land, and others connected with the country through which
the line passes. In the absence of Mr. John Marshall, the
Chairman of the company, Mr. Bagshaw, M.P., the De-
puty Chairman, presided. After the usual toasts of " The
King," " The Queen," " The Princess Victoria," and
" The Army and Navy," Mr. Bagshaw rose to propose
the health of " Mr. Ward, the Chairman, and the Mem-
bers of the Committee of the House of Commons, for
whose indefatigable endeavours, in ascertaining the merits
of the projected Railway, this Company is so much in-
debted."

Mr. BAGSHAW, in an excellent speech (which was much
applauded tnroughout), described shortly the difficulties
which the Company had to encounter—the opposition which
was made by more than one party to the progress of their
Bill through the House of Commons, and the triumphant
success which had crowned the labours of the Directors.
" This success," Mr. Bagshaw said, " has been almost en-
tirely owing to the patient and indefttigable attention which
Mr. Ward, day after day, gave to the evidence on bath
sides, for and against the Bill. Wearisome as the investi-
gation was, and laborious as such inquiries must necessarily
be to all those who fairly and honestly enter into them with
the firm intention of ascertaining the truth of the case, and
of guarding the public for whom he acted, as well as the
conflicting parties before him, I can venture to say that no
man who ever sat on a Committee of the House of Com-
mons better discharged his duty to the satisfaction of all
parties, for and against the Bill. Net content with the
information afforded to him by the evidence before the
Committee, Mr. Ward has gone out of his way, and has
spared neither time nor reasonable trouble to judge with
his own eyes of the value of the evidence, and of the compa-
rative merits of the competing lines. Thus setting an ex-
ample, continued the Hon. Chairman, which I trust will
be followed by all Committees of the House of Commons,
and which I am happy to say has been followed by another
Noble Chairman of a Committee, and which has been at-
tended by the same signal success. I mean the success of
really ascertaining the true merits of the case on which he
was conscientiously to adjudicate." The Hon. Chairman
concluded with proposing the health of Mr. Ward, which
was drunk with three times three, and one cheer more.
Mr. WARD then rose, and as his address is of much im-
portance to all those interested in railways, particular care
has been taken to report it correctly.—" Gentlemen," said
Mr. Ward, " I rise to return thanks, for personal compliment
is always embarrassing, and in this case it is particularly so,
because I feel that the expressions of praise on the part of
my Honourable Friend are exaggerated and undeserved. In
acting as I did as Chairman of the Committee to which
your Bill was referred, and in bestowing on it the pains
which I did bestow on it, I did no more than my duty.
I had long before resolved that I never would vote on any
Committee respecting matters brought before it, unless I
had been able to give such attendance as would enable me
to form a competent opinion. In the present case I had
even a stronger motive actuating me to obtain a full know-
ledge of the facts of the case, for I felt I was a party in
some respect interested, inasmuch as the line of this rail-
way will pass near and enhance the value of property
which I shall probably inherit. Feeling this interest, lat
once communicated it to my fellow labourers in the Com-
mittee, and I invited them to watch my conduct as Chair-
man the more narrowly, inasmuch as I frankly stated to
them that I did feel that interest in the success of the line
which I have already mentioned. Gentlemen, lam glad to
say, that as the case of your Bill proceeded, there was no
fear of the decision of the Com:nittee being influenced by
any preference of mine ; for a case more clear, more sim-
ple in its exposition (and such was the unanimous and spon-
taneous opinion of the Committee), more decisive in its
superiority over the line which was brought forward to
compete with it, never was brought forward before a Com-
mittee of the House of Commons. Gentlemen, I congra-
tulate you on your success ; nor do I see that your success
is at all checked by the proposed Bill of Mr. Morrison, to
which allusion has been made by your Chairman. With
respect to the proposed Bill, I will take the opportunity to
say that I never knew a Bill so universally reprobated as
this Bill was by the House of Commons. There really
was only one opinion expressed by all parties, that this Bill
would be a most wantpn, prejudicial, and impolitic inter-
ference with the rights of capital. It has been said that
such undertakings as these are principally set on foot by
persons of capital, for their own profit. Gentlemen, I
want to know by what other means such vast undertak-
ings as this is are to be supported, except by persons of
large capital ? Really this objection is among the most
absurd and puerile that could possibly be set up ; and is it
to be supposed, I would ask, that persons would embark
their capital in canals, or railways, or docks, or any
other such undertakings, which, profitable as they may
be to the individuals engaged in them, are still more
beneficial to the nation at,large, if it were not for the con-
fidence which has hitherto existed, that their speculations
would not be improperly interfered with by Parliament.
Gentlemen, I can tell yoti that any such Bill as that pro-
posed by Mr. Morrison never will be passed by the present
House of Commons. It may be useful to mention that
when Mr. Morrison withdrew his Bill the other night, he
made use of expressions which implied that his Bill would
he passed the next Session. But an Hon. Member imme-
diately got up and declared that it should not go forth to
the world that the House of Commons was favourable to
the Bill, and therefore he called on Mr. Morrison to divide
the House on the question. But such was the plain una-
nimous feeling of the House against this Bill, that there
was no division ; and I will venture to say that there was
not a Member of the House of Commons preient who had
not the fullest conviction that no attempt would be made
to pass such a Bill this Session or the next."
After some general observations on the excellence of the
line of the Company, which Mr. Ward said he regarded as
the main line of communication between London and the
north, he concluded by proposing the "health of Mr. Bag-
shaw." The health of Mr. Alston and Mr. Fuller Mait-
land, as representing the London proprietors between Lon-
don and Cambridge ; of Mr. Prvme, the Member for Cam-
bridge ; of Mr. Handley, the Member for Lincolnshire,
were then drank. The health also of the Chairman of the
Company, Mr. John Marshall, was especially honoured ;
and, after various other toasts had been gone through, the
company broke up much pleased with the entertainment.

MILITARY LECTURES.—TO his credit be it
spoken, Major-General Sir James Douglas, commanding at
Limerick, in addition to the sufficiently arduous duties which
his station calls upon him to fulfil, gives a military lecture once
a week at his own house to all officers in the garrison except
those on duty. And, like Marshal Ney, he has them to break-
fast with him ; that over, they repair to a room expreshly fitted
up for the purpose, where the General has his maps and
plans to illustrate the campaigns about which he is going to
speak. He then proceeds to explain how difficult manoeuvres
succeeded, and how others failed, marking each on the plan as
he goes on; and having traced the movements of the contend-
ing armies in detail, he shows the principles upon which each
acted, and points out where they were true and where false.—
Fraser's Magazine.

CONSTANTINOPLE.

JUNE 22.—0 n the 16th instant an autograph letter of
the Sultan was brought to the Divan, and informed this
assembly that the office of Minister for Foreign Affairs
having become vacant in consequence of the dismissal of
Akif Effendi, the Ex-Caimakan of the Grand Vizier,
Ahmet Coloozi Pasha, had been appointed his successor.
The public, on the reception of this intelligence, perfectly
unexpected, was at first led to view the removal of a func-
tionary who had insulted the dignity of the English repre-
sentative, after grossly violating the rights of the nation, in
the light of a decisive triumph, won by British influence
over that of Russia and her numerous compeers. This
occurrence was looked upon as a proof of the Sultan's ear
being more open to the voice of reason, justice, and self-
interest, than the delusive suggestions of fanaticism, arro-
gance, and hypocritical friends. It was inferred that he
had preferred sacrificing a favourite, and braving the dis-
pleasure of his advisers, to compromising the stability of
the friendly relations with a country eminently interested
in the maintenance of his empire. Every one expected
to see the Porte officially informing the British Ambassa-
dor that the illegality of Akif Effendi's proceedings had
drawn upon him the Sultan's resentment, and that his re-
moval from office was the punishment which the trespass
of his duties had merited. These expectations have not
been realized. Lord Ponsonby may tacitly, but he cannot
officially, consider the dismissal of this functionary as a con-
sequence of his representations. Unless he be officially as-
sured of the contrary, he is indeed bound to consider it as
an event owing to motives to which he is a stranger. It
becomes impossible to account for the Sultan's conduCt in
the present instance, unless by making the following suppo-
sition, which is not altogether without foundation. It
would appear, that after making the declaration before his
council of his determination never to consent to the dis-
missal of one of the Ministers at the request of a foreign
Ambassador, the Sultan has been made aware of the ex-
ceedingly awkward position in which he would be situated
were the British Government to insist on obtaining the sa-
tisfaction Lord Ponsonby had advised the Porte to offer.
The dismissal of the Reis Effendi, previous to an answer ar-
riving from England, appeared to him essential to the pre-
' vention of so embarrassing a dilemma. This mezzo terniaze
promised to screen him from the humiliation of submitting
to conditions imposed upon him by a foreign Power, and at
the same time to screen him from the results a refusal on
his part might occasion. This diplomatic ruse of the
Sultan is as clever as the stratagem of the beaver in the
fable, which, to escape from the hunter, tears off with its
own teeth the part of its body which constitutes the chief
object of his cupidity.
The present Reis Effendi, though inferior to Akif Effendi
in point of diplomatic tact, is far superior to him in point
of honesty. He enjoys much credit among the people,
principally in consequence of having, through his decided
opposition to the formation of the treaty at Hook Unkiar
'Skelessi, drawn upon himself the anger of the Sultan; and
lost his situation as Lieutenant of the Grand Vizier.
The steam frigate Nile started on the 19th for Alexandria.
The troubles in Bulgaria continue to engage the atten-
tion of the Divan. Hussein Pasha, of Widdin, who is at
present at Constantinople, was yesterday summoned to ap-
pear before this assembly, and had to defend himself against
numerous accusations sent against him from his prefecture.
The Mousselim of Berkosza has been dismissed from his
situation. It is not governors, but the venality of its ad-
ministration, which the Turkish Government should change.
Therein lies the real cause of the empire's misery and ruin.
I mentioned in my last, that the British merchants es-
tablished in the city had come to the resolution of address-
ing a petition to his Majesty's Government, requesting it to
support Lord l'onsonby's application to the Porte, and take
the necessary steps for asserting the rights of English sub-
jects in Turkey, and guaranteeing in future their better ob-
servance by the Turks. I herein enclose a copy of this
important document.

Letters arrived here last night from Persia, state Mr.
Ellis has taken leave of the Schab, and was waiting at
Tabreez for the arrival Mr. Maclean. During his last
audience he received marks of honour such as never were
conferred on foreign Ministers at the Court of Persia. The
Sehah made him a present of a magnificently-caparisoned
Arabian, shawls, and hiS portrait surrounded with valuable
diamonds. According to an arrangement passed between
Mr. Ellis and the Persian Government, of 5 per cent., is
to be laid on every article of British manufacture imported
into Persia, and same duty on Persian exports.

June 16.
TO THE RIGHT HON. VISCOUNT PALMERSTON, &C.
My Lord,--We, the undersigned British merchants,
established in this city, beg leave to draw your Lordship's
attention to a recent occurrence materially affecting not only
our own individual interest and personal safety, but those
of all British residents in this country.
We allude to the case of Mr. Churchill, on whom the
Turkish authorities committed a most flagrant outrage, by
first cruelly beating, and afterwards immuring him in the
Bagnio, where he was suffered to remain several days, in
gross violation of the treaties which govern our residence in
Turkey.
The circumstances of this affair must, however, be al-
ready before your Lordship, as well as the proceedings
adopted thereon by his Excellency the Ambassador.
As far as these proceedings are within our knowledge,
we have every reason to feel proud of the manner in which
this serious affair has been taken up, as well as of the im-
mediate and energetic representations made to the Ambas-
sador by our Consul-General, ever vigilantly watchful over
our interests, as also the firmness shown by his Excellency,
alike befitting the gravity of the offence and the dignity of
the nation insulted in its perpetration.
It has been with the greatest concern, therefore, that we
have learned from a communication made to us by the Con-
sul-General, at the desire of the Ambassador, that, the
affair of Mr. Churchill not having been settled with the
Turkish Government, it was his Excellency's intention to
refer it to his Majesty's Government.
So unprepared were we for such a result, that we had
rather expected to have seen the Turkish Government
hasten to anticipate the proceedings of the Ambassador by
a spontaneous expression of its concern for such an act on
the part of its officers, by a prompt punishment of all the
parties engaged in it, by preferring some solemn assurance
that care should be taken to prevent its recurrence, and by
making' ample satisfactio❑ to the injured individual.
We will concede that the first outrage was committed by
subordinate local authorities, whose acts might admit of
excuse or explanation, but the subsequent imprisonment
was deliberately ordered by a high public functionary, the
official depositary, in fact, of the treaties existing between
the two countries, one who could not be ignorant of the
privileges they guaranteed, and who was not ignorant of
that in the instance in question he was grossly and inten-
tionally violating them.

Considering, therefore, that the present is not the only
instance, although the most flagrant one, of personal violence
offered to British subjects, we cannot but see in their re-
peated occurrence, more especially of late, an intentional
infraction of the treaties, and indeed the existence of some
fixed design on the part of the Turkish Government to as-
Eume to itself a power or control in such matters which
would be dangerous ever to concede.

Considering, moreover, that forbearance seems only to
encourage aggression, exemplified first in regard to our trade
by the numerous arbitrary departures from capitulations
and the tariff, grievances all remaining unredressed, and at
length gross outrages affecting our personal safety, we do
venture to hope that his Majesty's Government will see in
present occasion a fit moment for asserting our privi-
eges and for guaranteeing to us their future observance.
We have the honour to be,
R. SARELL.

BULIVER'S " DEVEREUX," IN SHILLING
NUM.BRS.—The first number of Mr. Bulwer's " Devereux,"
price one shilling—(to be completed in 6 numbers, with em-
bellisliments).—is published this day in the weekly issue of
" Colburn's Modern Novelists." This clever and popular
novel is allowed to be one of gr..Bulwer's best and most suc-
cessful performances; it, therefore, needs no eulogium at
the present period, and, considering that in the fashionable
garb of 3 vols., large impressions were called for; now that
it appears in a single volume for six shillings, and adorned
with engravings, which increase, by illustration, the interest
of the story, its circulation will, no doubt, be universal.

E INDIGO TRADE..—On Thursday the quarterly
sale of Indigo commenced, and there was a full attendance of
buyers from the manufacturing districts. There are more
orders than . usual from the Continent. The total quantity
declared for sale is 9,362 chests, being the last year's crop,
with the exception of 411 chests. The sale consists of 8,862
chests of Bengal, 226 Kuspah, 248 Madras, 20 of Bimlapatan,
and 6 Pondicherry and Manilla. Before the sale commenced
about 100 chests were withdrawn. The qualities are chiefly
good and good middling, with a proportion of fine. When
the sale began the biddings ranged from 63. to Bd. per pound
higher, but subsequently went from 3d. to 9d. per pound, the
average being full 6d. per pound advance upon the °notations
realized at the sale in April last. During yesterday's sale,
750 chests were disposed of, fetching from 4s. to 7s. 9d. per
pound. Only 8 chests of Bengal went under ss. 10d, per
pound, and about 30 chests of Madras realized from 4s. 10d.
to ss. 6d. per pound, being from 3d. to 4d. per pound higher
than the prices realized at the sales in April last. The whole
declaration will take several days before it is finished.

SPIRIT OF THE PUBLIC JOURNALS.

We yesterday noticed the complaint of Sir Charles
Burrell against Mr. Cundy, and the order for the
attendance of that aentleman at the bar of the House
of Commons on Monday next. No one can blame
Sir Charles Burrell for wishing to show that he was
not justly chargeable with the corruption imputed to
many Members who have taken au active part in
committees on Railway Bills. If the Hon. Baronet
did not receive 15,0001. for a piece of land worth
2001. at most, it was but natural that he should feel
sore under the imputation. But the Standard of last
night has made the complaint of the Honourable Ba-
ronet, and the subsequent proceedings, the subject of al
furious invective against the Whigs and Radicals.
We are gravely told, that " never before, in English
history, was any man put to answer criminally for
a private conversation involving neither plot nor
conspiracy, except by the Court of Star Chamber.
- We give full licence to Whigs and Radicals to search
for any precedent of the kind in the records
of the unreformed Parliament, or during the
seventy years. of Tory misrule.' " Now with-
out going into the merits of the case, or the propriety
of the House taking the course they have done, it may
be as well to remind The Standard that the corrup-
tion was imputed to a Tory Member, Sir Charles
Burrell, by whom the sibject was brought before the
House ; that the motion for bringing Mr. Cundy to
the bar was made by a Tory, the Right Hon. C. W.
Wynn ; andi therefore, if crime there be, or if the
HouSe of Commons have pursued an improper or
tyrannical course, it has been for an offence against
a Tory, and it is at Tory instigation that the
alleged offender is to be brought before its bar.
Iu its anxiety to abuse the House of Commons,
The Standard has conveniently overlooked the cir-
cumstance, that the occasion has been furnished by the
acts of its own friends, the Tories. While we are on

this subject, we may observe that some surprise is ex-
, pressed in the world that an uneasiness under the im-
putation of having been influenced by personal motives
in their legislative capacity should be confined to the
Members of the House of Commons. If Sir Charles
Burrell considered that he would be unworthy of his
seat in the House of Commons, and even unfit to as-
sociate with gentlemen, if he had abused a public trust
by making it subservient to selfish purposes, why is it
allowable
,in a member of another branch of the
Legislature to be influenced by personal consi-
derations ? In the House of Lords, in the de-
bate on the second reading of the South Dur-
ham Railway Bill, a certain Noble Marquis openly
opposed the measure because it would be injurious to
his private interest if passed. The ground on which
the Noble Marquis opposed and voted against the
Bill was, however, approved of by the House, for it
was thrown out. It would not surprise us if Mr. Cundy
were, on Monday night, to allege in his justification
that with the example of the Upper House to justify
Sir Charles Burrell, he did not conceive that in stating
the Hon. Baronet had voted for a Railway Bill, in
order to be enabled to receive 15,0001. for what was
only worth 200/., he was imputing to him anything of
which there was cause to be ashamed.—Morning
Chronicle.

Though the three recent elections for the counties of
Essex, Warwick, and Merioneth, can have left no
dnubt as to what are the feelings of the free and un-
fettered part of the constituency as to the measures pur-
sued by our O'Connell-bound Administration, yet, in
the teeth of these admonitions, it twill have been seen
by the list which we published from the Standard,
that no less than fifty representatives of English coun-
ties have been found to vote for one of the most hate-

ful and revolutionary of their measures—the celebrated
appropriation clause in the Irish Church Bill. It is
some consolation and set-off against this melancholy
fact, that there are said to be twenty others, who,
though professing to espouse the cause of the Whig
Ministers, prudently stayed away upon the same
occasion. We trust that the names of the
fifty in question will not be lost sight of, and
that in the counties which have the honour
of being thus represented on a question of such vital
importance to the Constitution, both in Church and
State will carry with them these names to the hustings,
should any of these persons venture again to solicit the
votes of their injured and insulted constituents. While
upon this subject we cannot help remarking that, since
the three county elections alluded to, the Ministerial
Press has been remarkably silent upon the till then
favourite topic of a dissolution of Parliament. This
was one of the metiiods by means of which the House
of Lords were to have been dragooned into a submis-
sion to the popular will. Unluckily for this kind of
argument, the three elections in question prove that
the House of Lords represents more of the popular
will upon the questions of Church spoliation and of
O'Connell submission than unhappily belongs to the
popular branch of the Legislature. At least such, we
suspect, will turn out to be the case, when any of the
fifty names in the list which we have alluded to, have
the joint permission of Lord John Russell and his hard
task-master to make the experiment.—Morn. Herald.

One of those meetings, which belong more to the
15th and 16th centuries than to the present day, was
held yesterday in Exeter Hall, pursuant to a previous
advertisement, and for the purpose of " exposing the
perils with which Protestantism is now environed by
the motion of Mr. Plumptre." Staunch Protestants,
as we not-only are, but were sworn to be, almost upon
the altar, from our earliest youth—and holding, in con-
sequence, the faith and the rites of the Roman Catho-

lic-Church to be inconsistent with the pure doctrines
and precepts of Christianity, we are frank to own that
we do nut entertain the same terror that the speakers
and auditors at the meeting seemed to feel, ether
at the motion of the Honourable Member, or of
any other which either he or others may bring for-
ward. We are too proud of the faith in which we
have been educated, to dream for an instant that it can
receive any greater shock from the motion of Mr.
Plumptre than it would from the election of Mr. Salo-
mons to represent the Borough of Southward. At all
events, we dread not the shock, come from what quarter
it may. Our Protestant faith is either a sound and true,
or an unsound and false, faith--if true, where is the
danger ?—if false, the sooner it is overthrown the better.
But the time is past and gone for disputing upon
such matters—and it is nothing less than an accusa-
tion upon the good sense of the country that such
a meeting as that which was held yesterday at Exeter
Hall should have received such countenance as it

did. " Dens' Theology," forsooth ! Who is there
that has read the nonsense put forth upon this subject
who does not experience a nausea at the very mention
of the subject ? But there was a freshener yesterday,
if we may use the expression, to the spirit of Protes-
tantism—we- beg pardon—to the spirit of intolerance
—in the shape of a circular letter from the Pope to
the Archbishops and Bishops of Ireland, which, of all
the fabrications and forgeries that have come under
our vision, is the most gross and the most internally
indefensible. It is a Tory-fabrication from the begin-
ning in tne
to the end, and 'may b
_ C safely deposited •.
tomb of all the Capulet, as the fruitless attempt of a
contemptible . faction to turn the hearts of Protestants
against Catholics, and to convert the peaceful to-
lerance of opinion
which now exists between them
into a war of national mischief and disgraceful
in-
jury. There is no one, not a fit occupant of a cell in
Bedlam, who can peruse it, without feeling that it is
,-,-
a fabrication from the beginning to the end. - The irre-
ligious character of it is not to be expressed in words—
! its "mal hearit'g 110 savage would adhere to—and yet
the dregs of a woe-begone, and all but extinct, faction,
would press it upon the people of England as a genuine
document ! itivington is the printer. He is, in course,
in • • possession of a copy of the original—let it be shown,
and we shall, after proper inquiry, lie convinced—if not,
we must brand the authors of it as liars and calumnia-
tors, which, by the bye, we believe them to be. The
document is before us, but we have not' room for it.—

THE AUTHORESS Of " MOTHERS AND DAUGIIP
TEES. "---Among the prominent characters figuring in Mrs.
Gore's new novel of "Mrs. Armytaoe, or, Female Donilna.
Lion," is one of a certain American Tory, or rather a Yankee
Tuft-Hunter, which is likely to excite some speculation. It
is a character, by the way, with which continental travellers are
said to have latterly become familiar. We do not assert that
" Leonidas Lomax" has a specific original ; but curious ru-
mours arc beginning to prevail on the subject.
