TURKEY AND EGYPT.
TIIE SUEZ RAILWAY.
The French Ministerial journal the Patrie pub-
lishes the following letter from Constantinople, dated
the 15:h instant :
" The opposition of the Pacha of Egypt and his re-
sistance to the orders of the Sublime Porte were suge
gested to him by the English Consul at Alexandria.
That agent had even succeeded, in the affair of the
railway, in persuading Abbas Pacha that he would be
supported in refusal of obedience by the English Go-
vernment. The English Ambassador at Coestantinople,
Sir Stratford Canning, bad from the first taken a wiser
view of the question, and, in accord with M. de Lava-
lette, had completely approved of the note addressed by
the Porte to the Viceroy of Egypt. The Cabinet of
London at length understood the serious incon-
venience of allowing Abbas Pacba to continue
any longer in a course of conduct which might
endanger his hereditary rights, and he was recommended
to fulfil the obligations taken towards the Porte by
Mehemet Ali in return fur the privileged hereditary Go-
vernment in Egypt. The Vie, roy has written a note
in which he explains the misunderstanding,- which had
taken place, and requests the Sultan to grant the autho-
risation for the railway from Alexandria to Cairo. An
examination has bee❑ commenced as to the capability of
the resources of the province of Egypt for this enter-
prise, and there is every reason to believe that
the railway will be established, but that it will not
exclusively devolve on the English. It will he open
to all nations, and will be managed by Turkish
functionaries nominated by the Turkish Govern-
ment. The political consequences of this railway have
been exaggerated in the most ridiculous manner. A
century will pass away before this little railway will be
extended into a large line from Egypt to the East
Indies, and even admitting that such a gigantic work
could be accomplished, the whole of Europe would op-
pose its being made a monopoly of by Great Britain,
and Turkey would to a certainty never consent to yield
up the direction of an enterprise so intimately connected .
with her dearest interests. The financial crisis, which
has lately weighed so heavily on Turkey, has been the
subject of serious examination by the Turkish Cabinet.
The causes are now known, and measures will, it is
said, bo promptly adopted to produce an equilibrium 1
between the receipts and expenditure of the State."

THE IMPORTANCE OF A UNIT.
ONE.—One hour lost in the morning by lying in bed,
will put back all the business of the day.
One hour gained by rising early is worth one month
of labour in a year.
One hole in a fence will cost ten times as much as it
will to fix it once

One diseased sheep will spoil a flock.
One unruly animal will teach all others in company
bad tricks; and tho Bible says—" One sinner destroys
much good."

One drunkard will keep a family poor and make them
miserable.

One wife that is always telling bow fine her neighbour
dresses, and how little she can get, will look pleasanter
if she will talk about something else.
One husband that is penurious or lazy, and deprives
his family of necessary comforts such as their neigh-
bours enjoy, is not as desirable as he ought to be.
One good newspaper is one good thing in every family.

DETERMINED ATTEMPT AT SUICIDE.—On Tuesday
morning a most determined attempt at suicide was made by
George Godson, a coachman in the service of Count Z )rab,
Rosslyn Lodge, Hampstead. It appears that orders were
given that the carriage should be ready by nine o'clock, to
take some part of the family out, and that shortly before the
period alluded to the groom entered the coachhouse, when,
on looking into the -vehicle, the door of which was open, he
beheld his fellow-servant (the coachman),lying upon one of
the seats with a frightful gash in his throat; a razor, with
which he had inflicted the dreadful wound, was discovered
by his side, and the cushion and bottom of the carriage were
deluged in blood. Inspector Champneys, of the S division
was promptly at the residence, information having been
given to him of the occurrence, and after the unfortunate
man had been attended to by Mr. Perry, a surgeon, he was
removed upon a stretcher to the North London Hospital.
We understand that there is but little, if any, chance of his
recovery.
DEATH BY Porsorc—On Thursday an inquest
was held at Great Bradley, on the body of Heater Radford,
who died on Tuesday, the 14th. Ann Radford deposed that
the deceased, who was in her seventeenth year, was one of
four daughters of Joseph Radford4her late husband's brother,
with whom witness now lived as his wife, and by whom she
had two children, aged three and five years respectively.
The deceased slept at her uncle's, next door; Joseph Rad-
ford and the witness with four children, sleeping in one
room ; the rest of the house, the property of Mr. Lamprell,
having been pulled down. The deceased kept company
with a young man named Alfred Hinds. On Sun-
day, the 28th ult., she was taken with a bowel complaint,
which continued till the following Sunday, when Mr. Baker,
surgeon, saw her; and she kept her bed from the Sunday
night till her death, which took place on Tuesday afternoon,
about two o'clock. Two of her sisters and two of the wit-
ness's children had been taken ill during the same period,
but were better now. They all had their victuals together.
The inquest was adjourned in order that a post toortttn exa-
mination might be made, and we understand that a quan-
tity of a plant well known for its use in procuring abortion
hes been found by Mr. Image in the intestines.—lpswich
Express.

FATAL ACCIDENT AT BLACKWALL.—YeSteTday
afternoon Mr. W. Biker held an inquest at till Artichoke
Tavern, High-street, Blackwall, on the body of John Wallis
Shores, aged 65. The deceased was a superintendent over
the men in the dockyard of Mr. Pitcher, Blackwall. On
Friday last the deceased and several men were engaged in
weighing a large quantity of chain. The scales a ere fixed
to the "shears," and while the men were in the act of
removing about six cwt. of the chain, one of the planks
slipped away, and the shears fell with great violence, striking
the deceased on the right side of the head. Ile was carried
to the surgery of Mr. Frey, but he died shortly afterwards.
Several witnesses were examined at great length, who said
that they had called the deceased's attention to the dange-
rous condition of the tackle, but he said the lashing on the
top was quite safe. The coroner remarked on the evidence,
when the jury returned a verdict of " Accidental Death."
METROPOLITAN COMMISSIONERS OF SEWERS.—
The Commissioners held a court yesterday for the transaction
of ordinary business, at their offices, Greek-street, Soho.
There were present Mr. E. Lewes (the chairman), Sir John
Burgoyne, Mr. E. Allanson, Captain Vetch, and Mr. T.
Hawes. The minutes of the last meeting having been con-
' fumed payments to the amount of 6,1121. 59., for the inci-
dental expenses, including wages and salaries, were laid
before the court and sanctioned. This leaves a balance in
hand of 4,336/. 12s. sd. Several complaints from different
localities respecting existing nuisances having been read
and considered, the court then heard summonses against
persons who had failed to execute private improvement
works, according to notice ; also against owners of property
for payment of the charges and expenses in respect of pri-
vate improvement works executed by order of the Commis-
sioners. Several works were then ordered, and the meeting
separates'.

THE CHURCH OP ST. MART ALDERMARY, BOW-
, LAwf:.—lf Stow be correct, when ho says that this church
was called Aldermary, because it was older than any other
church dedicated to St. Mary in the city, it must have been
founded at a very remote time, inasmuch as St. Mary-le-Bow
was probably built, as we have said, in the reign of William
the Conqueror. The fact that this latter church was formerly
called New Mary Church is, however, somewhat confirmatory
of the statement. In 1510 Sir Henry Keble, Lord Mayor of
London, began to rebuild the church. His epitaph, formerly
in the old building, calls him—
" A famous worthy wight,
Which did this Aldermary Church
Erect and set upright."
Before this edifice was completed he died; but in order that
no hindrance might arise, he had bequeathed 1,0001. to finish
it. The tower was rebuilt in 1629, at the cost of 1,0064
The church having been destroyed by the fire of 1666, with
the exception of the tower, was restored by Sir Christopher
Wren in 1681, a sum equal to 5,0001. being furnished for that
purpose by the widow of one Henry Rogers, in pursuance of
his will, which directed that this amount should be expended
in the erection or repairs of some church. An inscription in
Latin over the west door of the edifice records this benefac-
tion.—Builder.

The Brussels journals state that the number of
foreigners arriving in that city to pass the winter was never
so great as at present. The number of French families, in
particular, is very considerable; it is about as great as that
of English families.

A BLOOMER IN CLARE-MARHET.—Tuesday even-
ing two ladies made their appearance in Clare-market, at-
tired in full Bloomer costume. The motive of the selection
of this peculiar locality for a Bloomer display is not very
apparent. The ladies, however, seemed to have nerved
themselves to the feat, and having alighted from a cab at the
corner of Vere-street, commenced the promenade of the
market. Their broad flapping hats instantly attracted at-
tention, and " The Bloomers, the Bloomers," resounded
from one end of the market to the other. A crowd of
butchers' boys, fishwomen, and costermongers quickly
gathered round the Bloomers. Some of the lads pulled the
frills of their trowsers, and the ladies, in alarm, fled towards
Clement's Inn-passage, closely followed by their tormentors,
pelting them with cabbage-stumps and turnips. At this
juncture some constabies of the F division came up, and
protected them from further insult, and they were escorted
back to their cab, and driven off amidst the shouts and jeers
of the populace. Several of the shopkeepers' wives were
highly indignant at the treatment of the ladies, and said it
was a disgrace to the country. All fashions, they said, ap-
peared ridiculous at first.

LOCAL TRAFFIC ON THE CHESTER AND HOLY-
HEAD RAILWAY.—In the course of a abort time a vast
amount of local traffic will be placed upon the Chester and
Holyhead line. The slate trade, which is by far the most
important of the local trade, will, in a short time, be com-
pletely thrown upon this line. Of its importance, the fact
that Mr. Roberts, the agent for Thomas Asaheton Smith,
has contracted for the conveyance of 40,000 tons of slate
annually, will speak for itself. The formation of the branch
line from the Penrhyn slate quarries will throw the con-
veyance of many thousands of tons of slates monthly upon
the main line, and this will commence immediately. For
the construction of this branch line the railway company
found the rails and sleepers, Colonel Pennant, the owner of
the quarry, being at the expense of the rest. The line to
Port Dinorwic is to be ready soon after the commencement
of the year, when the trade of the Llanberis quarry will be
ready for transit. From the Buckley mountain a large trade
in b►icks, &c., ore from the lead mines, and 40,000 tons of
coal from the collieries will shortly be expected to be added
to the local traffic of the line.

SECRET OF CostFoßT.—Though sometimes small
evils, like invisible insects, inflict pains, and a single hair
may stop a vast machine, yet the chief secret of comfort
lies in not suffering trifles to vex one, and in prudently cul-
tivating an under-growth of small pleasures, Since very few
great ones, alas 1 are let on long leases.
SAILING OF THE BALTIC.—The United States
mail steamer Baltic, Captain Comstock, sailed from Liver-
pool yesterday at half-past twelve, with the usual mails, and
92 passengers, for Now York direct. The usual salutes were
fired as the Baltic sailed down the river.
itEYNARD CAUGHT IN A TRAP.—On Thursday,
two persons returning to Carnarvon on the Straits, near
Felin Hell, discovered to their no small astonishment, mov-
ing along the shore, a fox, dragging after him, attached to
one of his hind legs, a heavy trap, to which was affixed a
rope. The animal was easily secured, and on examination
found to have fractured the imprisoned leg, apparently hav-
ing bitten in two the rope which secured the trap, by which
means he Was enabled to liberate himself,—Curnurvon
Herald.

ODDS AND ENDS FROM NEWMARKET CON-
CERNING YESTERDAY'S RACES AND MY
FANCY FOR THE NURSERY STAKES.

TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN.
SIR,—Mr. Field, the veterinary surgeon, having been
sent for, arrived by the morning train yesterday, and
having examined Truth, gave it as his opinion that she
was but three years old, consequently Mr. Phillips re-
ceives the Cambridgeshire Stakes, and bets are settled
accordingly. As I imagined, Red Hind won the 50
soya. Stakes, Scarecrow the 200 sovs. Match, Sister to
Pyrrhus the First the 500 move. Match, and Fauxpas the
100 sovs. Match. The 15 sovs. Sweepstakes, to my
thinking, has decided the fate of Plumstead for
the Nursery, as Senorita made all the rnnnin,, and
beat him by a head; three others were tailed off.
That clever youngster of Captain Lowther':,
Tumbler, won the Subscription Plate with
great ease' fr.oln Liberty, Captain Flash, Phlegra, Snarey, and
alentine's Day. The last-uumed, after passing' the
chair, thought she would have a small lark of her own, for she went straight up the road, and, after jumping
the ditch, fell heavily. The mare and jockey
escaped,
wonderful to tell, unhurt. Clincher, who always seems to be changing hands, is now the property of Sir. Start.
In the 50/. Handicap Plate, giving weight to all,
he.
beat Retail (second), Aphrodite (Third), Aehyranthes
Prestige, and Cardinal Wiseman, in a common canter'
by a length; Aphrodite beaten by two lengths. That
wretched specimen of a racer, Gaylass, was actually good
enough to beat Lady Verbena and the no longer
mysterious Mukanna in the D.M. 15 Soya. btAkes. I
will now attempt the somewhat difficult task of selecting
the winner of the Nursery Stakes for the fifthyear in suc-
cession. The top weight, Frantic, stands but little chance
at Bst 71b, Mountain Flower stands still less at Bst 31b.
Merry Bird, I think, is mere or less dangerous at 83t Ilb,
as is Scarecrow at 7st 131 b. Sophistry, Caracara, The
Faugh-a-Ballagh colt, Cytheria filly, and Equal. I shrill
pass over as possessing no chance whatever. Orpheus,
at 7st 10Ib, may have some hope, as Plumstead has at
7st 81b. The colt by Dromedary, Hirsute, Ilex, Lady
Agues, Sabra, and Peacock, I also put down among
the useless. Poodle, at ist 51b, is not badly in,
and Barbara Bell, at 7st 21b, must also be
looked to. Mary Ann has shown some running at times,
and as 6st 131 b is all the weight she is destined to carry,
her chance cannot be very desperate. The remaining
couple, the filly by Bay Middleton, out of His Royal
Highness, 7st 11b, and Happy Joe, 6st 91b, are probably
the two most dangerous in the race. Out of the twenty-
three acceptances I think it very possible that two-
thirds will go to the post, and that the race will lie
between Merry Bird, Scarecrow, Plumslead, Barbara
Bell, H. It. 11. filly, and happy Joe. From these I shall
select BARBARA BELL, H. R. II FILLY, and HAPPY JOE
to fill the three first places; if taking any for choice
would be JOSEPH TIIE HAPPY.

I am, Sir, your's, &c.,

SPORTING INTELLIGENCE.

NEWMARKET HOUGHTON MEETING.
TUESDAY NIGHT.
THE CAMBRIDGESHIRE.—(Further Particulars.)—The
start took place at ball-past three, all to the credit of
Mr. H. Hibbard, getting off on good terms at the first
signal. Tonic, after they had gone about two hundred
yards, taking up the running, waited on by Truth, with
Manifold, Paux Pas, the Italian, Prime Minister, Her-
nandez, and several others closely laid up. They tra-
velled in this order at a great pace to the Duke's Stand,
where Tonic, Prime Minister, and the Italian were
beaten. Truth here took a clear lead, followed by Faux
Pas, Manifold, and Ariosto, went on with the rape in
hand, and won in a canter by two lengths, Ariosto
taking the second place about half a distance from
home, and beating Manifold, who was a neck before
Faux Pas, by nearly three lengths. Hernandez was
fifth, Officious sixth, and Candlewick seventh. Breba
and Newminster never had a chance after the first half
mile, and Mountain Deer and Grecian %ere ben en off a
long way from home. The race was run in 2 min. 2 £O2C.
The issue, should Truth prove to be of the right age,
will be another great triumph for the round betters ;
Mr. Davis alone will realise upwards of 20,0001.
The subscription-room was fully attended at the
reading of the list; but the only bets laid were 20 to 1
that Truth got the stakes, and 50 to 1 each against
Orelio (now Sir J. Hawley's) and Barbarian, for the
Derby.

THE CAMBRIDGESHIRE STAKES. —Mr. Field, the ye-

puted Doncaster Cup race was gone into this morning

• AUGURATION OF THE STATUE OF
-WILLIAM THE CONQUEROR AT FALAISE.

SPEECH OF M. GUIZOT.
pci Sunday the inauguration of the fine equestrian
Statue of William the Conqueror, which was exhi-
bited recently in one of the squares of the Champs
Elysee, took place at Falaise, the birth-place of the
Conqueror. Several speeches were delivered on the
occasion, among which was the following, by M.
Guizot

" You present, gentlemen, today, a rare example,
the example of a long and faithful memory after
the lapse of ages ; nearly eight centuries have passed
since King William died neglected in Normandy,
which he had rendered so illustrious. It was with dif-
ficulty that there were found a few servants at Rouen
—the scene of his death—to watch his remains. A:few
feet of earth were hardly obtained at Caen wherein to
deposit his remains. On the present occasion you
repair that indifference of his cotemporaries by your
persevering care ; and owing to the talent of an emi-
nent artist King William is again beheld in his native
town. Falake repays him, after eight centuries, the
glory which it received from him. It is a glorious
deed to render justice to a great man. Great men,
however, must not be flattered, neither after their
death nor yet during their life; their errors, their
faults, their vices, their crimes, when they have corn-
mittellany, ought not to be kept a secret, but ought
rather to he judged with severity. It is the right, as
it becomes the duty, of impartial history. But this
just severity once exercised—the evil once recognized
and treated as it deserves—a truly great man still
remains—great in the midst of all the imperfections
his history discloses ; and then it is our duty to ad-
mire and, pay signal honour to his memory, inasmuch
as great men are the glery of a nation, even where
their despotism has been rude and dearly purchased.
William was indeed a great man, and if the
greatness of princes be estimated, as it ought to be,
by the difficulties of their deeds and the importance
of their results, there are few who have been superior to
him. You will not have forgotten, gentlemen, a deed
which was accomplished in our time—the expedition
of 1830 to Algiers ; the attempt to embark and trans-
port to the other shore of the Mediterranean an army
of 30,000 men to obtain from a barbarian the satis-
faction due to us. What immense preparations were
then made ! What mighty efforts, what powerful
means were employed by the aid of our advanced state
of civilisation ! And all that was deemed absolutely
necessary, because the undertaking was difficult. You
have now the proof that none of these precautions
were unnecessary for a view to their success; and
the success of that enterprise has become the glory
of its leaders.

"In the 11th century, scarcely issuing from a
barbarous condition, without any of the resources
now- furnished by civilization and science, Duke
William assembled together, embarked, conveyed to
the other side of the Manches, and landed on the
enemy's territory more than 30,000 men; and scarcely
had he landed, when he won battles, and conquered
for himself a kingdom. So much for the difficulty
of the enterprise. Now for the greatness of the re-
sults. W
William not only traversed the sea in small
and fragile barques with a mighty
.army—not only
did he conquer a kingdom—he did still more, he
founded a state. He strongly and solidly established
his power on a foreign soil—his race, and a new lan-
guage, and new institutions. And his work has lasted
for acres,i
and it still endures. And it sin the tongue
that King William spoke that the English Parlia-
ment still addresses its Noble Queen, and in it she
replies.
" We have seen, gentlemen, conquests more vast,
more dazzling, than those of King William. They
disappeared as rapidly as they were made. The phe-
nomenon is, indeed, rare of invasion founding a state.
Yet Willia-n accomDlished such a deed. William
was in harmony with the spirit and the permanent
interests of his age , he was as deeply imbued with a
conservative spirit as he was gifted with the genius of
a conqueror.

" We are right in rendering him this justice, as
his glory has cost us dear. It was the origin of
that national struggle which lasted more than
three centuries between France and England. It
was William who, by establi,hing between two na-
tions partial and precarious ties, began between them
that epoch of terrible hostility, and all the wars which
lasted until they terminated in a complete separation
of the two countries. We were the conquerors in
that mighty struggle. 'We successively won back all
the parts of our territory, and ended gloriously by
securing our national independence. We definitively
drove, the Norman invaders to the soil conquered by
them, and whither we had sent them. That glorious
creature, without parallel in the history of the world
—with.a natare half angelic, half heroic—Joan of
Arc, for ever destroyed what the successors of Wil-
liam the Conqueror laboured to effect in France ; and
it was on this same spot of earth, in this very city of
Rouen (where King William met his death) that the
Virgin Warrior cealed with her martyrdom the de-
liveranceof her country.

"Yet I care not to dwell on those glorious but
saddening memories of the past. I rather love to
contemplate ourselves and the history of our own
days. In our times, also, ships without number
crowd our coasts, and convey thousands upon thou-
sands of. voyagers to the shores of England. But is
it for another war that they thus depart? No, no!
It is benign Peace that beckons and guides them to
a foreign land and leads them back again. Their
desire is not for chivalrous adventure, nor is their
ambition that of conquest. They crowd thither to offer,
or bring back, the pledges of reciprocal prosperity.
The intercourse between the two nations is now as
pacific as it is frequent and animated. A Crystal
Palace, where they congregate in thousands ; an in-
visible thread—a flash of lightning shooting beneath
the wave, which conveys from the one to the other
the message of their mutual wants and their mutual
services—such, gentlemen, are the bonds which now
replace those that William the Conqueror wished to
establish !

" Which of the two periods, gentlemen, is the hap-
pier ? Which spectacle is the nobler, the more glo-
rious ? In the midst of the troubles and disquietudes
which weigh upon us in our present agitated and pre-
carious condition, we yet have a right to be proud of,
and full hope in, our own age—provided our hope
and our pride do not impel us into the pride of mad-
ness. We may justly speak of the benefits and the
marvels of our civilization, provided that our civiliza•
tion he not itself like a Crystal Palace, which all
men admire, but which all at once disappears ; and
that it cannot be said of it, in the language of the
great poet, that Normandy has given to France, with
its brilliancy the brittleness of glass.
" I wish not, gentlemen, to throw a gloom over
this festivity by words of sadness ; but you will pardon
me the expression of a sentiment, which is certainly
that of all men of sense and of honour. When men
who traverse the wide ocean are overtaken by the
tempest it is not sufficient to have a noble ship, well
equipped, and well furnished with an intelligent,
brave, and hardy crew ; that crew must be united ;
and the noble ship must have stout anchors—for on
these the salvation of all dpp-nds. Let us, gentlemen,
be firmly united ; let us know how to possess our-
selves of the strong anchors of society ; let us trust
to them together. Yes ! Heaven will deign to grant
us salvation—iF we act so as to deserve it !"

TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN.
Sm.—Now that we have just witnessed that
triumph of modern civilization and the arts of peace,
the Great Exhibition of the Works of Industry of all
Nations, we hear with deep interest, in this quarter,
a daily growing rumour of another design of his
Royal Highness the Prince Consort; one far more
easy of accomplishment, yet likely to be attended
with no less important and enduring results. I al-
lad''' to the project of an 2Y.46civicn for the purchase
of land, under the Incumbered Estates Commission
in this country, to be sold again in convenient lots to
small farmers : in other words, a plan for creating a
n proprietary in IrAand.
