ARRIVAL OF THE TURKISH
FRIGATE FEIZA BAARI.
SOUTHAMPTON, APRIL 27.—The Ottoman steamer-
of-war Feiza Baari (Skimmer of the Sea), flag of his
Highness Vice-Admiral Moustafa Peelle, Captain Sal
Bey, arrived at Spithead on Friday night, and early on
Saturday morning, after saluting the Turkish squadron
lying at Spithead, came up t 3 Southampton. She is the
bearer of a cargo of Turkish contributions to the Great
Exhibition in Hyde-park. On anchoring she imme-
diately exchanged salutes with the town battery, after
which the United States frigate St. Lawrence fired a sa-
lute, which was returned from the Feiza Baari.
The arrival of this steamer has excited considerable
interest, as the Feiza Baari is the first Terkistesteam-
vessel that has ever visited England. She sailed from
Constantinople on the 6.h inst. called at Gallipoli for
bread, and at Malta and Gibraltar for coals. Just prior
to reaching Malta a defect veal discovered in one cf the
cranks, and a stay of three days had to be made while
the dockyard engineers were fitting a strengthening
strap. The vessel also remained two days at Gibraltar,
so that the actual time under steam from Constantinople
is only a little above fourteen days.
The Feiza Baari was built at the Turkish dockyard in
Constantinople. She is about 1,600 tons burden, full
ship-rigged, and is a favourable and creditable specimen
of the proficiency in naval architecture to which the
Tusks have attained. Her fittings' generally and cabin
arrangements are very beautiful and commodious. Tee
engines of 450-horse power, on the double-cylinder and
direct acting principle, are from the factory of Messrs).
Maudslay, Sons, and Field, and propel the vessel at a
rate of from eight to ten knots an hour, according to
wind and weather. The armament is a very heavy One,
as the vessel is pierced for and mounts 44 guns, viz.,-
2 long 10-inch iron Paixhen guns upon traversing car-
riages upon the upper deck, and 42 long brass 32-
pounders on the man deck. On the present occasion, in
consequence of carrying cargo, she has on board only
eight of the 32-pounders and the two Paixhan guns.
The complement of men is about 320. The uffieGre,
sailors, and firemen are all Turks, but there are three
English engineers.
The Feiza Baari has brought a large number of dis-
tinguished functionaries and officers of high rank in
the Turkish service as passengers. The following are
some of them,—viz., his Highness Gemaledin Pacha,
brother-in-law of the Sultan; his Excellency Constantine
Mussurns, the new Ambassador from the Sublime Porte
to the Court of St. James's, who is accompanied by his
two sons and suite, and by M. Alecto Vogorides, Coun-
cillor of the Legation; sad ZatEfendi, Secretary to the
Embassy; also Sallie Effendi, Reouf Boy (son of Rifaat
Pachs), and Hisan Bey, members of the office of the
Amedji; Ismael Bey. Equerry of the Imperial House •
hold; Emir Bey and Nissip Bay, members of the Divan's
Correspondence-office; Hasseim Veh bi Effendi, advo-
cate of the Tidjaret; Hessen Bey, member of the Coun-
cil of Nate; Rifaat Effendi, Secretary of Accounts;
Lufli Effendi, member of the Correspondence-office of
the Minister of Commerce; Djevedet Effendi, Secretary
to the Minister of Commerce; together with several
other Turkish subjects who had received the permission
of the Porte to accompany the delegates and to make
the tour of Europe.
This morning Mr. H. D. Jourdain, the Ottoman Con-
sul at Southampton, went on board the Feiza Maui, and
was received with a salute of seven guns—a similar
salute in his honour also being given by the'American
frigate. Arrangements wore then made for the disem-
barkation of the Turkish Ambassador, who, shortly
after one o'clock, accompanied by his suite, left the
ship under salutes of seventeen guns from the Feiza
Baari and the St. Lawrence. On landing on the docks,
no salutes were fired by the town on account of the
Sabbath. His Excellency left at three o'clock fur Lon-
don by a special train.
There are on board this steamer 207 packages for the
Great Exhibition. They are $o be instantly sent on
shore, and will be forwarded to,the palace of glass by
Mr. • Jourdain, the consul, who is charged with that
task by M. Zohrab, the Turkish consul-general, London,
who is also the special commissioner of the Sultan to
the Royal Commissioners. The greater portion of these
goods will in all probability be sent off to London on
Monday evening and the remainder on Tuesday, so that
although from their late arrival they will not be fully
displayed in that portion of the building allotted to Tur-
key by the day appointed for the opening, yet there is no
doubt that the most striking objects of interest will be
unpacked and temporarily arranged in time for her
Majesty's state visit on Thursday next. The goods con-
sist in great part of silk stuffs from the Government
factory, Turkish cloths, sword blades, fire-arms, em-
broidered stuffs, carpeting from Melemen and Koniah,
the whole being of great beauty and value. The num-
ber of specimens is said to be 4,870, and their value
nearly 100,0001. About 5,000 square feet of surface will
be required for their display.
The Sultan has taken a great interest in the whole
details connected with the origin and progress of the
Great Industrial Exhibition in London, and has been
most anxious that the country of which he is the su-
preme ruler should be adequately represented. This
disposition is plainly proved by the determination to
dispatch to England on a special mission so large and
fine a vessel as the Feiza Baari. Previous to their ship-
ment an exhibition of these articles was held at the
Hotel of the Board of Commerce, in Constantinople.
The Sultan visited and minutely examined the majority
of the specimens. His Highness also paid a visit to the
steamer before her departure, and remained upwards of
four hours on board. His Excellency Sir Stratford
Canning, the British Ambaseador, also -gave a grand
banquet to most of the distinguished personages whose
names are mentioned above, prior to their embarkation
for England.
After discharging his cargo, it is likely the Feiza
Baari will be sent roan i to Woolwich to have the neces-
sary repairs effected to her machinery, and will then, we
understand, return again to Southampton and make some
stay here.
Excepting the characteristic red Fez cap universally
worn on board, the dress, uniform, and appointments of
the officers and seamen .do not present any features of
the ordinary Turkish costume, which appears to be
slowly disappearing in the military and naval services of
the Sultan. There are but few turbans to be seen on
board, and those vve;,understand are worn by the priest
and some few other rigid Mahometans. Several of the
officers speak the English and French languages fluently.
Every respect and attention will be paid to the cesa-
mender and officers of the Feiza Baari by the munici-
pality. His ;Highness Vice -Admiral Moustafa Yacha,
his Highness Gemaledirn Pasha, and the officers of the
ship, have accepted an invitation to visit the Mayor of
Southampton (Mr. Richard Andrews) .at his country
seat, near Winchester, on Tuesday next, annesday the mayor and corporation will pay, an official visit
to the frigate, on which occasion an addresswdilolnbeWreeadd,
and the whole of the officers invited to a grand banquet,
to be given at the Town-ball in their honour by the cor-
porate body of Southampton.
Personal civilities have been interchanged between
the commander and officers of the Turkish and Ameri-
can ships of war, and Captain Sands, of the St. Laa-
rence, instantly offered to the Ottoman„Vice-Admiral
every facility and attention that could in any way facili-
tate and promote the object of the visit of this fine ship
of war to England.

FATAL ACCIDENT TO; THE
HON. GRANVILLE
EGERTON. —We regret to state that accounts of the untimely
death of this young officer have been received in town. Mr.
Egerton was a midshipman on board her Majesty's ship
Meander, 44, Captain the lion. Henry KP
--eP el. The frigate
was at California, receiving treasure for conveyance to
England. Mr. Egerton and a party of officers went on a
shooting excursion, when Mr. Egerton's gun burst and killed
him on the spot. Intelligence of the afflicting occurrence
has been forwarded to the Earl and Countess of Ellesmere,
who at the last accounts had sailed from Malta for Sicily,
in his Lordship's yacht. Mr. Egerton was in-his 17th year,
A WINDFALL FOR FEARGUS O'Cobsou.—L est
night (Friday) an inquest was held in INlixenden, on the
body of Mr. W. Haigh, who formerly resided at Halifax, but
of late has lived at Mixenden, and was found'dead in his
bed oa Wednesday morning. The case was one of an ordi-
nary nature, and only derives interest from the fact that the
deceased some time ago made a will constituting Feargus
O'Connor, Esq., his sole heir. The value of the, property is
said to exceed 2,000/. Halifax Guardian.
MEETING OF EXHIBITORS.—A. great deal of dis-
satisfaction has been expressed by a large body of exhibitors
at the arrangement by which they themselves. if employing
assistants, are to be excluded from the Exhibition after the
completion of their fittings, unless by the purchase of tickets.
A meeting was held on' Friday, and, by adjournment, on
Saturday evening, at ,which several influential gentlemen
were present, and discussed in warm terms the alleged in-
justice done to the contributors. The mayor of Sheffield
occupied the chair on Saturday night. The speakers were
very unanimous, and the fillowing resolution was agreed to
nem. con. :—" That this meeting appoint a deputation to wait
upon the Royal ,Commissioners, and respectfully to urge upon
them the justice of admitting exhibitors on the first day of
May anni during the continuance of the exhibition." The
Royal Commission will meet to-day, when it is hoped the
question will be amicably settled.
MARRIAGE OF Miss TALBOT. —it is understood
that the marriage of this young lady will take place in June;
and that it will be performed at the residence of the Countess
Newburgh, in Wilton-crescent. Lord Edward Eitzalan
Howard, the betrothed husband, is 34 years of age and pos-
sesses a good property in his own right. He is heir also to
the Glossop estates in Derbyshire, value 2,7001. per annum,
and now in the possession of his father, the Duke of Norfolk ;
in, is rather strange that the property in question, as well as
the large property held by his Grace in Sheffield, came into
possession of the Howard family by the marriage of a former
Duke with a scion of the noble house of Talbot, the holders
of the ancient earldom of Shrewsbury and Waterford. Lord
Edward Howard is a very strict adherent to the tenets of his
religion, as his brother (the Earl of Arundel and Surrey) is
well known to be. It is also well known that the Duke of
Norfolk himself is but nominally a member of the. Roman
Catholic Church, and that when in attendance on the
Queen he seldom on Sabbath absents himself from worship
according to the Protestant religion.
THE GAUGE ACT.—We understand that the Rai'

way Commsssioners, who threatened some time ago to compel
the (Sreat Western Company to lay down the narrew in ad-
dition to the broad gauge on the part of the Oxford and
Rugby Railway between Banbury and Oxford—acting, as it
was stated at the time, on the advic3 of the law officers of
the Crown—have signified their intention of not carrying out
their previously expressed purpose, thereby, for a time at
least, permitting one gauge only—the broad—to be • laid
down, notwithstanding the Act of Parliament, if our me-
mory is not at fault, stipulated for the laying down of both
gauges. Without saying anything of the public interest
that may be involved in this matter, or what Parliament
.may say about it, we can only express our astonishment
that a public body like the Railway Commissioners should
so little know their own minds, or a proper course of action,
as to threaten proceedings one day, and the next day find
themselves compelled to retract their threat.—Herald.
HONISTY AND GENEROSITY.-011 Saturday two 5/
notes were restored to their rightful owner by a poor but
honest man, who keeps an apple-stall at Guildford. The
loss had been previously announced by the town-crier, but
as the number of the notes were not known the recovery of
' them was considered hopeless. The old man's honesty was
rewarded by a present of two sovereigns—a vast accession to
his capital at this season of the year.

CHESTER SPRING MEETING.

" Away ! the Corner' is deserted ;
Away to Chester's ancient walls !
A thousand screaming trains have started;
'Tis neck or nothing—Pleasure calls;
From every ingle of our islands,
From east and west, from north and south,
From Walmer to Glengarry's highlands,
From Galway to the Bull and Mouth,
Away they go !"

TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN.

Sin,--A parting word with Newmarket before pass
on to Chester. The race for the Newmarket Stakes re-
sulted somewhat after the style I fancied it would. Sir
Joseph Hawley's chance with the Confessor, although
deemed a certainty, was nothing of the kind; my remark
of Thursday last, when I wrote—" It is considered a
foregone conclusion in favour of Sir Joseph, but there
has teen more impossible things accompliseed than Midas
or Boo's winning"—was realiz'd by Midas clearing
the winning post a head before the Confessor; who, by
the bye, has about as much chance of carrying off too
Epsom laurels as a tom cit. The Chester, one of the
most important, if not the first of the Spiing Meetings,
commences to-morrow, as usual, with the Grosvenor
Stakes of 10 soya. each, &c. To close and name this
evening. Alter which, as the play-bills have it, follows
the Palatine Stakes for fillies, Bst 71b each, with allow-
ances and penalties, which has converted the stake into a
species of handicap, though by no means a fair one.
For this stake Tightwaist, Bst 71b—Truth, Bst 71b—
Drill, Bst 41b—Manille, Bst 41b—Merry Peal, Bst—Con-
fidence, Bst—lschia, Bst—The Incurable, Sat—Hurry
Scurry, Sat—and Queen Bee, Bst. may possibly be found
at the post. The appearance of Iris, Hesse Homburg,
and Vermuth, is not very probable. If either of this
trio were to;show, they would capsize my calculations,
which are founded according to the above list very con-
fidently on CONFIDENCE and MERRY PEAL ;
with Hurry Scurry and The Incurable third and fourth.
The entry for the Mostyn Stakes of 10 sous. each, with
100 added; for two yeks old colts and fillies, &c., is un-
commonly dark, only one or two out of the lot having run;
however, Lord Eglinton's colt, Lizzy, Don Carlos, and
Young Hawthorn, form the quartette destined, in my
opinion, to send forth the mime of note; YOUNG
HAWTHORN or Lord Eglinton's colt for choice, with
Lizzy close up, and Don Carlos fourth. The Chesterfield
Stakes seem to me to lay between Oleander, Bst, Emily
Veil, 7st, and Scar, Est 12th; the first named for choice.
On Wednesday the performances commence with the
Corinthian Handicap, to close and name this evening.
Then follows the Roodee Produce Stakes, which Harp-
sichord will win. Then comes " the great go" of " the
meet," the Chester Cup; the field for which may be
selected from the following list:—Russborough, 4 yrs,
Bst 61b—Woolwich, 5 yrs, Bst—Vatican, 5 yrs, 7st 101 b

Black Doctor, 3 yrs, sst 41b—Nancy, 3 yrs, 4st 121 b
Knook Knoll, 3 yrs, 4st 81b (v d). As I remarked on
Friday, and in direct opposition to " the talent," I again
repeat to-day THAT BOTH RHESUS AND RUSSBOROUGH
WILL BE BEATEN! They may run up into the third and
fourth, or even second and third places, but nearer, in
my humble opinion, they cannot get. They have both
been backed for immense sums, are both considered by
their respective parties certainties; but both these pots,
I think, will boil over. Rhesus never was better in the
whole course of his existence, and, according to Treen,
is fit to run for a man's life. Russborough is perfec-
tion, and to a certainty will be found in the front
rank ; perchance, may find his way into the War
Eagle position of 1848. The public, in these in-
stances, must judge for themselves ; my judgement is
against the R's. I cannot fancy how Russborough,
with Bst 61b up, is to muster steam enough
to finish with; and with regard to Rhesus, lightly
weighted as he is, I think The Italian and The Knight
of Avenel can give their year to him, and it strikes me
the odd five and three pounds difference in the weight
likewise; I may be wrong—about fifty hours will tell the
tale. The following form the batch, in my opinion, that
will be found in front at the distance, in, viz.:—Russ-
borough, Woolwich, Backbiter, Vampyre, Duc•an
Durres, The Italian, The Knight of Avenel, Rhesus,
Haricot, Strap, Hesse Homberg, and the Black Doctor.
From this lot I should pick Vampyre from the old 'uns,
The Knight and The Italian from the four years old,
and The Black Doctor from the three years old; and
take the ITALIAN or VAMPYRE as the absolute
winner; with Rhesus, Russborough, The Knight, and
The Doctor, heading the rusk. I shall postpone my
comments on Thursday's and Friday's races, with
the exception of the Dee Stakes, until to-morrow. For
the Dee, out of forty-eight nominations, the following
list includes all that are likely to figure in the race:—
Osceola, Jack Leeming, Hippolytus, Colsterdale, Ver-
inuth. The Black Doctor, Mountain Deer, Knook
Lightfoot, and Entre-nous. That awful bugbear of the
ring, Lightfoot, is reported to be en route to the scene of
action. This anions!, looked upon by so great a portion
of the public as the almost certain winner of the Derby,
will, I think, have to content himself with third honours
for this stake; one or two of the runners, in my opinion,
being quite gocd enough to give him the go-by in this
mile and a quarter spin. The Lincoln green on the
back of the MOUNTAIN DEER shall be my colour on
,he occasion.

I am, Sir, yours, &c.

The betting turned almost exclusively on the leading
favourites for the Chester Cap, nothing having been
done on the Derby to justify a quotation. Rhesus was
very much out of favour in the early part of the after-
noon, and after a slight rally closed at 7 to 1, offered to
a "monkey." Hesse Homberg, Russborough, The Ita-

prices in each case showing an improvement. Two or

pleted shout the end of July. It aid be a commodious
buiLling, with a large extent of frontage, and will com-
mand a tine view of the whole of the running ground. A
largo space will be enclosed in its front for a betting
ring; in addition to which there will be an enclosure for
saddling. Much to our regret, however, the old course
over which the Brighton Stakes and Cup are run has
beers for about a quarter of a mile of its middle entirely
cut to pieces by the troops of the Bth Hussars having
been drilled directly upon it, and which the race com-
mittee have no means of preventing. A good deal of
money will have to be expended by them upon this por-
tion of the running ground prior to the races.

THE FRINTLEY GANG.
TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN.
Sett,—l should not venture to intrude on your valu-
able space, did I not feel assured that by so doing I
should set right a very incorrect statement which ap-
peared in your columns, being the concluding part of a
paragraph headed " The Frimley Gang," and occupying
a lengthy space in your paper of the 23d or 24th inst.
It is as follows:—After speaking of the apprehension of
Isaacs at Frome, " That Mr. Morten, the Superinten-
dent of the Tunbridge Wells police, succeeded in tracing
to the possession of the prisoner a valuable diamond
ring, gold chain, &c,, which were a portion of the pro-
perty stolen from the Misses Farnecombes in December
last. These articles were on his person, in the house
where he was staying. Mr. Morten immediately
seized them, and the friends of the prisoner forthwith
applied to the County Court at Frome for a summons
against Mr. Morten for 101. 10s., alleged value of the
goods." Nuw, Sir, this statement is wholly untrue. In
contradiction to it, I beg to state the facts of the case,
which are as fellows:—Some of the Frome constables
having been apprised that Isaacs, the chief of this no-
torious gang, was in the neighbourhood of Frome, ap-
plied to Mr. Witcombe, a respectable tradesman, for the
hire of a horse and carriage, that they might search
for their man. They succeed in apprehending him
at Norton, and brought him back to Frome in the
vehicle. The next morning a diamond ring and gold
chain were discovered lying on the mat in the carriage.
Mr. Witcombe immediately notified this at the magis-
trate's office; and to several of the constables, who ad-
vised him to keep the articles till he was in a position
to give them up to the proper authority—a mode of
proceeding not, however, approved of by Mr. Morten—
who came again to Frome on the Sunday following, ob-
tained a warrant to search Witcombe's house for the
stolen goods, which he alleged were concealed there,
and proceeded to execute it at ten o'clock on the same
evening. Mr. Witcombo thereupon gave up the articles,
and on the following day applied for a summons against
the officer, not for the value of the stolen property,
but to call in question a stretch of power on the part of
the police officer, which he considers most unjustifiable.
From these facts it will be evident that tho above state-
ment is quite without foundation, and as it has been co-
pied by several of the provincial papers, I shall be much
obliged by your inserting this letter.
I am, Sir, yours, &c.

PROCEEDINGS UNDER THE CENSUS ACT.-06 Sa
turday, at the Richmond Petty Sessions, Mr. Ebenezer
Fernie, an independent gentleman, living at the " Casino,"
Kew-green, was summoned, under the Census Act, for hav-
ing refused to deliver up the census paper, or schedule, by
which he was liable to a penalty of not more than 51., nor
less than 21. Proof of the delivery of the paper at the
defendant's house, and his refusal to deliver it up to the
collector who demanded it, having been given, the bench
retired to consider their decision in private, and the result
was the dismissal of the summons, only two of the magis-
strates being for a conviction.
BLACK EDITORS.—Two of the leading newspapers
in the British West Indies—the Morning Journal in Jamaica,
and the [Vest -Indian in Barbadoes—are ti..,nuci and edited by
gentlemen of colour. The proprietors and editors of these
journals are, moreover, distinguished members of the legisla-
tures of their respective colonies.
TURN-OUT OF BRICKLAYERS' LABOURERS. In
consequence of the reduction of the duty on bricks, many of
the brickinakers at Alirincham, near Manchester, have in-
creased the sin of their moulds, without giving any addi-
tional wages to the labourers, whose work is increased there-
by. The latter have therefore turned out, and considerable
dissatisfaction exists among them.

effects of the injuries be received, for the last fortnight with-
out the least chance of recovery.
MAGISTRATES' CLERKS.—The system which pre-
vals of having more than one clerk of a petty sessions, is
in a fair way of being abolished; public feeling is clearly
against the system, and justly so, for several reasons. It
does not speak well for magistrates who have promoted and
adopted it. Magistrates should carefully and cautiously
guard against doing anything which gives an appearance of
wrong, or even indiscretion, mu cil" more so to act in a way
to be open to censure ; and the system referred to does
carry an appearance both of impropriety and wrong, not
only as respects individuals, but as regards the public. The
sooner the practice is abolished the better, in every point of
view.

about
twenty •seven years of age a woman,
ad ver apeetably pparently dressed,
committed suicide by throwing herself' into the river from
the
great landing stage. It was about an hour past high
water, and the tide was running out very strong, so that al- '
though every exertion was made to save her she was carried
away by the tidal stream, and her body ban not been yet
recovered. The police had noticed the woman walking up
and down the stage fa some time, and she took the oppor-
tunity to commit the act when there was no boat at the
staze. A fatal accident occurred at almost the same spot
about half an hour aftervvards by the Rock Ferry steamer, in
crossing the river to Liverpool, running down a luggar boat
belonging to Tranmere, in which were two men,
one of
whom, named John Williams, the master, perished. The
night was very dark, with squalls of rain and sleet at in-
tervals, and the luggar boat had no light. The body in this
case also has not been recovered.
