TURKEY.

A letter, which appears in the Paris Constitutionnel,
says —:
" The difficulties which have arisen between the Go-
vernment of Constantinople and thst of Cairo are not
yet arranged. The most grave questions—those which
had given rise to the calumnies in Turkey against
Abbas Puha and his Ministers have, it is true, com-
pletely disappeared in presence of a simple enquiry into
facts but the demands of the :Porte as regards the in-
ternal administration of Egypt still subsist, and the
Viceroy, in virtue of the treaties of 1840 and 1841,
whilst he protests that he is desirous of adopting for his
country the most useful reforms, refuses to consent to
the establishment without any previous transition of a
Constitution which, although proclaimed twelve years
ago, has not yet been put into vigour."

CHANCERY.-(THIS DAY.)

VIVIAN V. COCHRA.NE.

This case was opened yesterday. It is an appeal from
a decree of Vice-Chancellor Knight Bruce. The plain-
tiff is the rector of St. Peter-le-Poor, London, and the
defendant is the public officer of the National Bank of
Ireland, who occupy a house in Old Broad-street, in the
parish of St. Peter-le-Poor. By the Act regulating the
tithes for the city of London (37 Henry VIII., c. 12)
2s. 9d. in the pound is directed to be paid on the rent of
each house in lieu of tithes, but in case the rent should
be lessened through the payment of a fine, or the lessee
should be the occupier of the house, then the 2s. 9d. was
to be pay able on the estimated value in the first case, and
on the last yearly rent, without fraud or covin, in the other.
In the present case the house occupied by the bank had
originally been let on a lease for sixty years at the annual
rent of 1021. 103., the lessee covenanting to lay out
2,000/. in improving the premises. This was done, and
the annual value of the property was now admitted to
be 250/. The question raised by the present suit was,
whether the 2s. 9d. in the pound was payable in respect
of the original rent of 1021. 10s., or for the improved
rent of 250/. The Vice-Chancellor held that it was
payable on the improved rent, and the defendant now
appealed.

HER MAJESTY'S THEATRE.—The preparations for
her Majesty's state visit to this theatre on Saturday next
will be of the must magnificent description, Mr. Lumley's
habitual go. :d taste affording he best possible guarantee that
his homage to his Sovereign, who honours him with permis-
sion 'o announce her presence, will be /MCI as should, under
the circumstances, be offered by the director of such an es-
tablishment. The evening will be a memorable one, and not
one of its least pleasant associaticus will be the kind and cor-
dial support which Mr. Lumley has so generally received
from the subscribers to the theatre. They have evidence i
their regard fur him, and their appreciation of his energetic
and liberal conduct of the establishment under his control, not
only by concurring most cordially in the arrangement which
substitutes this night for Saturday as a subscription night, but
by re-engaging their boxes for the night of the Royal
visit. A State visit has always been regarded as a signal
honour and favour to the management of the theatre graced
by the Royal presence; and could anything be wanting to
complete the gratification of the evening, it would be supplied
by the cordial readiness with which the general body of the
subscribers have come forward to enhance the value of the
Royal boon by manifesting their highpense of the manager's
deserts.

The long-expected appointment of additional
Queen's Counsel at the Equity Bar will, it is understood,
take place forthwith. The Learned Gentlemen mentioned
as likely to receive the honour on this occasion are Mr. Will-
cock, Mr. Chandless, Mr. Follett, Mr. Campbell, Mr. Daniel,
Mr. Glasse, Mr. Craig, Mr. Headlam, and Mr. Bally. These
elevations to the Inner Bar have become necessary in con-
sequence of the contemplated increase of the sittings before
the new Court of Appeal, and the recent addition of Vice-
Chancellor Turner to the Equity Bench. Chronicle.
ROYAL POLYTECHNIC INSTITUTION.—Dr. Bach-
hoffner, the professor of natural philosophy to this establish-
ment, has just commenced some highly-interesting and in-
structive lectures on the forthcoming total eclipse of the sun
on the 28th of this month. The Doctor remarked that all
who behold this phenomenon must be struck with its awful
sublime appearance, and after alluding to the superstition of
our ancestors in reference to eclipses, went on to explain in
a lucid manner the causes of the difference between total
and partial eclipses. He then called attention to the course
which the eclipse would take over Europe ; and showed by
a map bow it commences la Norway and terminates near
the Black Sea, explaining at the same time that in Great

DEATH OF Tlll4 RIGHT HON. WILLIAM &BRIGHT
LASCILLES, M.P.— It is with deep regret we have to record
the death of the Right Hon. W. S. Lascelles, M.P., Con-
troller of the Queen's Household, who died at six o'clock
last evening at his residence, at Campden-hill, Kensington.
The Right Hon. Gentleman died from an affection of the
brain, which from the first symptoms defied all medical skill,
and consequently the members of the family have been pre-
pared for the melancholy termination of his illness. The
deceased William Sebright Lascelles was second son of the
late, and br .ther of the present t arl of Harewood, and was
born the 29th of October, 1793. He married on the 14th of
May, 1823, Lady Caroline Howaro, eldest daughter of the
late, and sister of the present Earl of Carlisle, by whom he
leaves a numerous issue. The Right Hon. Gentleman re-
presented Wakefield in several Parliaments, and was at the
last general election returned for Knaresborough, which seat
becomes vacant by his demise. Latterly the Right Hon.
Gentleman was a constar t supporter of the present Govern-
ment, ai.d soon after Lord J..li Russell's advent to office was
made ton' roller of her Majesty's Household.
