SOCIETY for the RELIEF of DISTRESS.—This
Society derives its origin from the following cause :
That, notwithstanding the operation of the poor law and
the numerous existing charitable associations, human
beings, although within a stone's throw of the Tlenty,
luxury, and refinement of this wealthy metropolis, die
miserably of hunger and the want of the common neces-
saries of life.

To prevent as far as possible the recurrence of an evil so
disgraceful to our social system, it is proposed in the first
instance to establish a co-operative system of visiting the
poor, by aiding and increasing the power of existing local
institutions which have this object in view.
To bring to the notice of parochial authorities such cases
as legitimately telong to them alone, co aid the police and
the Mendicity Society, to detect imposture, and to bring to
the care of hospitals, refuges, penitentiaries, and existing
charitable associations those cases for which their several
institutions were established.

Special and urgent cases of distress indicated by the
clergy—ministers of all denominations, medical profession,
or agents of any existing Society, will be relieved as far as
possible by the judicious application of funds entrusted to
district committees and local responsible persons appointed
by them for the purpose.
No cases will be relieved by money or otherwise at the
central office.
The promoters of this movement now come forward, not
In any spirit of opposition to existing societies, but, on the
contrary, with the strong desire to co-operate with and assist
them in the arduous task in which they, with such praise-
worthy zeal and perseverance, have been so many years
laboriously engaged.
They now claim to be met in the spirit in which they
advance, with the solo purpose of furthering, by friendly
intercourse, the great Christian object which all charitable
associations have in view.
The following noblemen and gentlemen having combined
to form a Guarantee Committee, by whom the entire ex-
penses of management are to be defrayed, the Society now
call upon the public to entrust it with the requisite funds,
which shall be applied, without the smallest deduction, to
the relief of genuine distress.

THE PRESENT DISTRESS IN TRADE
fully explained in J. GROSSMITH'S
" GOVERNMENT UPON FIRST PRINCIPLES."
The cause is there predicated of the monetary difficulties ex
perienced in 1860. The Crisis is at hand. Anxiety in busi-
ness has now become the grim torture. Purity of motive,
intelligently exercised, must animate all Governments, or all
is lost, All denominations of Constitutions are carefully
examined in J. Grossmith's "Government upon First Prin-
ciples."

pRICE 4D. STAMPED, 51).

town and village is to contribute ; and in these the
Ayans, or elders, in their turn, with the concur-
rence of the Medjlis, make their assessment on
individuals. To trace the numberless abuses by
which this tax is rendered so unequal in its inci-
dence would furnish matter for a curious and not
uninteresting chapter on Turkish maladministra-
tion. The result is that, on one pretext or another,
a large number evade the tax altogether, at the
expense of their more honest or less influential
neighbours, and that in some places the assess-
ment amounts to 5, and in others to 20 and even
25 per cent. Even in neighbouring cazas the
difference is often great. That of Smyrna, for
example, pays about 5, while those of Baindir
and Thyra pay 18 per cent. of their annual
rental and produce. It would seem that house
property and land are very unequally taxed,
the assessment being often made on the rent of the
former, and on the gross and not the net annual
produce of the latter. It is, of course, impossible
to speak with much precision on the subject, but 16
may be taken as not more than the average percen-
tage of this tax on agricultural produce in Anatolia.
Tithe.—The tithes are payable in kind, and are
collected by persons who farm them of the Govern-
ment. The abuses of this system need no exposition
here ; they are so innumerable and so glaring that
the Turkish Government, ever slow to acknowledge
the demerits of its own administration, has long
since, by a formal Act, recognised the necessity of a
change. Early in 1851 a firman was issued, direct-
ing the substitution of a tithe commutation for the
system of collection in force. Like every other pro-
mise of reform of the present reign, it-was couched
in the most benevolent terms, raising public expec-
tation to the highest pitch, and remaining a dead
letter for evermore. I do it injahice ; the result
was worse than I have described. The amount of
the commutation was to be fixed at the mean annual
value of the tithes of the five preceding years.
These had been years of comparative plenty. In
1851 there was a general failure of the crops. That
year the farmer had the benefit of the new firman ;
that is to say, he had in effect to pay tithe on crops
which had no existence. Had the new mode of
levying the tithe contribution been persevered in,
he would have been amply compensated in after
years ; but in 1852 the crops were good, the old
system was reverted to, and it exists to this day.
In Egypt a less benighted administration has super-
seded the tithe by a land-tax, assessed with tolerable
equity; and this and other reforms have told most
beneficially on agriculture in general, and on cotton-
growing in particular. As it exists in other parts
of the empire, the tithe, despite its name, :mist be ,
taken to mean a charge of one-eighth, or about 12
per cent. on the produce of land.
Customs' or Export Duties under the Commercial
Treaties.—These, as I have shown, amount nomi-
nally to 12 per cent. This is assessed upon the value
of the goods at the port, and must not be mistaken
for the proportion which the duty levied bears to
their value at the place where they are grown.
From want of roads and proper means of convey-
ance, the expenses of transport from the interior to
the seaboard are enormously heavy. With articles
the bulk of which is large in proportion to their
value the price at the places where they are grown
will necessarily diminish rapidly as those places
recede from the coast, and thus the duty actually
levied will be 13, 14, 15, &c., in lieu of 12 per cent.
of their value on the land which produced them.
The above imposts, then, levied upon goods for
exportation grown under the most favourable cir-
cumstances—i. e., in the neighbourhood of a sea-
port—amount to a tax of no less than 40 per cent.
of their value. When to this is added a number
of small local burdens, known as " Itoussoumiata,"
45 per cent. will not cover the real charges imposed
upon them by the State.
The following is a calculation of the average price
at which Turkish cotton wool may be grown and
prepared for exportation. The figures are taken
from an anonymous pamphlet, entitled " Internal
Economy of Asia Minor," printed for private circu-

the United States have been employing all their
energy and mechanical skill in the preparation of
their cotton-wool. The invention of the saw-gin
alone gave them an immense advantage, and it
can scarcely be matter of surprise that the cotton
growers in the East should have been distanced by
their more intelligent and enterprising competitors.
The Manchester Cotton Supply Association fur.
nishes advice and instruction on the cultivation of
cotton, and in some cases, I believe, it is willing to
supply seed and the necessary implements. All this
falls short of what is required here. To talk to a
Mahomedan farmer of a better description of seed,
of a cheaper and more effective way of preparing the
land for its reception, or of a more advantageous
method of getting in and dressing the crop than
that to which he has been accustomed, is simply to
appeal to his prejudices and to excite his incredulity.
In order to the introduction of these improvements
into the system of cotton-growing in Turkey,
example as well as precept must be had recourse to.
A few good cotton farms, successfully worked by
Franks, would have the desired effect ; and, as tho
Government is awakening to a sense of the im-
portance of this question, its existence and co-ope-
ration might, I think, be reckoned upon.
It has been suggested that if cotton were
exempted from tithe the necessary impetus would
be given to its cultivation. As we are asked by the
Porte to concede something of our treaty rights, it
would not seem unreasonable to insist in return on
the removal of certain of the burdens to which this
article is subjected. Whatever course Turkish
Ministers may think fit to propose, one thing, is
clear : if they would see the agricultural produeo of
the empire bear some due proportion to the amount
of its population, and to the extent and general
fertility of its soil, not only must the export duties
be reduced, but the assessment of the salquins must
be placed on something like an equitable basis, and
the tithe commutation, so long promised, must be
carried into effect.

this state of things to attempt to bring about the
re-establishment of a Bulgarian hierarchy. Thus
urged on, and smarting under abuses the existence
of which is undoubted, the Bulgarians sent a strong
deputation to Constantinople to pray for the ap-
pointment by the Porte of a national Patriarch:
Finding that the Turkish Government was not dis-
posed to accede to the request, and that there was a
danger of a secession to the Church of Rome, Prince
Labanoff, the Russian Minister here, endeavoured
to effect a compromise. It was, however, easier to
raise the storm than to control or direct it. Baulked
of the object of their desires the Bulgarian delegates
determined on placing themselves under the spiritual
rule of the Pope. Over 200 of them attended ser-
vice in one of the Roman Catholic churches on
Sunday. last, though it does not appear that
their formal conversion has taken place. They
desire to retain some of the doctrines of their own
Church.

The cotton crop produced from Turkish seed is
of such a nature that it has to be gathered in the
pod. It would require on the average 4-,2 cantors
of Anatolian cotton in the pod to produce one
cantor or 1201 b. of English marketable wool. This
quantity the farmer can in ordinary years afford
to sell in the pod on his own premises for 140
piastres, or at the rate of 30 piastres per cantar, a
price which amply remunerates him. Forty of
'these 140 piastres are coneumcd by the tithe and
salquin. Did these taxes not exist he could there-
fore sell 41 cantars in the pod for 100 piastres. One
cantar of cotton wool grown in the province of
Aidin would cost, on an average, laid down in
Smyrna ready for shipment, 214 piastres, made up
of the following items :

Piastres
43 canters in the pod, at 30 piastres
Expense of separating the seed-cotton from tbs
pod
Expense of native ginning, or separating woo'
from the seed
Expense of carriage of one cantar of wool 40
miles, at about 6d. per ton per mile
Customs' duties 24
Minor expenses, factorage, &c.

Total Ps. 214

The claims of British subjects arising out of the
Djeddah massacre and disturbances have just been
paid by the Porte in Consolides to the amount of
315,360 Turkish pounds. As money was not to be
had, the claimants consented to receive payment in
these securities at 531. Hence the largeness of
the amount.

"The temporary relief obtained by means of purgative
medicines is purchased at the high price of the aarravation
and )f the perpetuating the disease."—HENßY,

The 24 piastres represent the export duty actually
chargeable under the tariff in force on every cantar
of cotton-wool from Anatolia. If from the total
sum of 214 piastres we deduct the 24 piastres Cus-
toms' duties and the 8 piastres minor expenses,
factorage, &c., we shall have 182 piastres worth of
cotton, paying 24 piastres export duty, or at the
rate of nearly 14 per cent.

The result in English weight and money of the
figures set forth above is, that this cotton wool may
be delivered on the quay at Smyrna ready for
shipment, and free of all duty, for about 4d. per lb.
Owing to the shortness of the staple, it can only
be sold for cotton-wicks in the English market,
and the demand for it is, consequently, limited.
Certain it is, however, that American cotton of
a very superior staple may be grown in the same
place with equal facility, and with no larger outlay.
Other advantages would attend the cultivation
of the middling qualities of American cotton in
this country.
In the first place, that seed-cotton, in lieu of
being got in as the Turkish is in the pod, and at
one or two gatherings, may be picked from the pod
as it hangs on the plant. By this means the cotton
gathered in day by day as each pod attains ma-
turity is in far more perfect condition, and the
yield is largely increased, because the plant so
i
treated will go on throwing out fresh pods until
the time when the first frost sets n.
Again, although picking
the cotton from the pods
day by day involves more labour in the first instance
than the gathering as practised in Turkey, yet the
expense of subsequently separating the seed-cotton
from the pod would be saved, and one-half of that
expenditure would amply provide for the extra
labour of the other mode of getting in the crop.
Not the least important among the marry improve-
ments necessary to the success of cotton-growing in
the East is the introduction of a better method of
separating the wool from the seed. For this pur-
pose the American saw-gin, and perhaps the Arne-
ricri rollers for the finer samples, should be used.
The saw-gin, which has long since been introduced
into Egypt with great advantage to the cotton-
grower, would save three fifths of th., expense
incurred by the use of the clumsy machine known
in this country. and moreover, the work would be
better done.
