TURKEY.

The private correspondent of the Morning Herald
writes as follows from Constantinople, under the date
of March 6th, a letter which we republish, for the
purpose of showing our readers what treatment they
must expect if they imprudently venture to set foot
on board an Austrian vessel.

"A Prutsian doctor, of the name of Meldesobn, a
most respected resident of this city, proceeded five

a Hungarian of distinction, with whom he was per-
had the honour of making the acquaintance of the
commissioner to the Danubian principalities, who
was on a special mission to Shumla to carry
out the recent arrangements entered into between
the Courts of Vienna and St. Petersburgh and the
Divan respecting the refugees. After a few days'
stay at Shumla the doctor, desirous of returning to
Constantinople, obtained from the aforesaid Turkish
offiner a terkere, or passport, delivered to the doctor
in his own name and person, so that the latter had all
the reasons possible for considering that all was right
and in order, and that he could re-embark for this
city without delay.
"At Varna he took a ticket for his passage on
board the Austria, belonging to the Lloyd Steam
Company, the idea never coming into his mir d that
an Austrian steamer, belonging to a com.Tmercial
society, could be changed by the arbitrary will
of the Internuncio into an Austrian state prison,
in the very capital of the Ottoman empire. Never-
theless, this was the case. After the steamer's arrival
at Constantinople, the captain informed the doctor
that he had received instructions from COM t Stur-
mer to detain him on board, as suspicion wat heavy
against him. The doctor made no opposition what-
ever, and remained closeted in his cabin, while
two guardians watched his minutest movements.

The Deutsche Zciturg states, from Frankfort of

Majesty the Czar's Ambassador and Plenipotentiary
at the Provisional Federal Commission, has, in the
course of some diplomatic formalities, refused to de-
liver up his credentials, unless the wishes of Russia
respecting Schleswig were peremptorily complied
with. His demands are :

" 1. The recognition of Baron Billow, as official re-
presentative of his Majesty of Denmark, in his capacity
as Duke of Holstein and Lauen burg.
"2. Recognition of the Danish Convention, of an
armistice, and the preliminaries of a peace of the 10th
of July, 1849; and
" 3. Instructions to Prussia for the immediate con-
clusion of a peace on the ground of the said prelimi-
naries." _ _ _

This work contains an accurate and complete account of the
Anatomy and Physiology of the Reproductive Organs. It ma-
ortunately happens that the unhappy victim of excessive indul-
gence and vicious habits, while suffering from their invariable con-
sequences, unwisely entertains a fear of applying to a qualified physi-
•ian for relief. Shame and the dread so frequently, but erro-
neously entertained that these complaints are beyond the reach of
art, alike restrict him and prevent his seeking 'or assistance where
alone it can bo procured. Dr. LA 'MERT has taken tho highest
medical honours, as his alplomas testify, and the great extent of his
practice for many years is a guarantee for his professional experi-
ence, which has reference almost solely to the treatment of these
liseases.

Qlrientn2UL

LONDON, SATURDAY, DECEMBER 7, 1850.

Continuing our argument in reference to the ne-
cessity of reform in the Patent Laws of the United
Kingdom, we may be permitted to allude yet more
particularly to the efforts made in the furtherance of
this most righteous cause by the Committee of the
Society of Arts, as already notified in our leading
ar',:icle of yesterday. Thanks to the energetic course
of proceeding adventured upon by that intelligent
body, we may nt length begin to entertain some rea-
• sonable hopes of an improvement in this important
branch of our
,legislative enactments. Hitherto the
endeavours of all those who have sympathised in the
unprotected condition of scientific inventors, and
• who have yearned to aid in the removal of the diffi-
culties and impediments in their pathway, have
been altogether too scattered and incidental to
yield anything like certainty as to their realization,
Now, however, that the Society of Arts through their
recently appointed Committee has taken the matter in
hand in this practical manner, we snap cherish a ra-
tional belief in the chances of some such wholesome
innovations. The evil, in fact, is too enormous and
apparent to withstand for any length of time the as-
saults of a properly organized system of opposition:
and such a system of opposition we believe that
adopted by the Committee of the Society of Arts to
be, a system convincing and energetic. From it we
anticipate the speedy dissipation of the troubles here-
tofore surrounding the majority of unfortunate pa-
tentees—Aroubles driving them in most cases into
the arms of capitalists, sad compelling them to
sacrifice " for ► song" adv,iotages to be reap, d
fto'n i•eu !ah ,ur of in nv
Agsins: the recurrence of thi, grievance the he,t pre-
ventive-, would undoubtedi2, be the diminution of the
ex:irbitant sums at prti:,etit extorted from such as are
desirous to secure th frui!s of their ingenuity un.ier
cover of letters patent. The grea'est of living law
ref„eeners, Led B aouo sr, ritu.t, we feel sati)fied,
be eager to direct his energies toward,' the destruction
of this intolerable burden, those immense energies
and unflinching assiduity which have already beaten
down before them so many similar acts of injustice.
Added, moreover, to the general anxiety evinced on
the part of the Noble and Learned Lord to forward in
this manner the interests of legal improvement, there
would be an especial and peculiar anxiety on his part
to destroy the evils inflicted by the existing patent
laws, an anxiety arising out of his own personal sym-
pathy for the fortunes of the scientific philosopher.

In a Pocket Volume, neatly printed,
itSKETCH OF THE REFORMATION IN
ENGLAND, by the Rev. J. J. BLUNT, Fellow of St. John's
College, Cambridge. The Twelfth Edition, Corrected, forming part
of the Family Library.
The Reformation is one of the most remarkable events in our
history, whether considered in relation to politics or religion ; for its
influence was most powerful upon both. The reading, profession,
and taste of the author have led him to regard it in the latter rather
than in the former light : and therefore, brief as the sketch is, it
will not be found of the nature of an abridgment of larger historie,,
but a continuous though succinct account of its rise, progress, and
consummation, chiefly considered as a great revolution of the Church
of England.

ITALY.

The Minister of the Interior at Turin has ad-
dressed a circular, dated the Ist, to all the Intendants-
General of the provinces, reminding them of the fre-
quent efforts of 'the Government to eradicate the
baneful passion of gambling, and informing them that
it has now determined to refuse with rigour and im-
partiality the renewal of licences to all landlords of
hotels, coffee-houses, billiard-rooms, &c., notorious
for allowing habitual gambling on their premises I or
to those who, although allowing such games only to
be played in their establishments as are not forbidden
by law, nevertheless allow them to be played for such
Lrge stakes, that the ruin of families and injury to
public morals may result from the practice.
The Opinione of Turin of the Ist mentions a ru-
mour that the forced loan has been suspended
throughout the Lombardo-Venetian kingdom.
Lieut.-Marshal Prince CHARLES of Schwarxen-
berg has issued a notice, dated Milan 30th ult.,
announcing that the tax hitherto levied for the main-
tenance of the Lombardo-Venetian noble guard, will
be suspended during 1851, on account of the reduc-
tions operated in that corps.

DENMARK AND THE DUCHIES.
Accounts have been received from Rendsburgh to
the 4th. The position of the hostile armies remains
unaltered.

The Swabian 31ersury says:—
" IV e learn positive fy from an authentic source that
the great European Powers have resolved to terminate
the quarrel between Denmark and the Duchies. It is
decided that the order for the succ,-ssion to the throne
shall be settled, and that England, Russia, and France,
shall SCA I special plenipotentiaries to Copenhagen for
this purpose. The pretensions of the line of Augusta:-
burg to the succession to the throne of the Duchies will
also be discussed. Denmark has given formal assurance
that she wi!l observe the greatest moderation in regard
to the Duchies.

—"
It is said that Prussia will accede to the arrange-
ments agreed upon."
A declaration from Denmark, on the ratification
of the peace with Prussia, arrived at Berlin on the
sth. In this note Denmark expresses her regret that
Germany has not an integral Government which
might ratify the treaty, and declares that under the
present state of things, and in compliance with the
representations of a mediating power (England),
Denmark will accept the ratification of the individual
German Governments.

STRAND THEATRE.

Another ballet from the prolific brain of Flexmore,
entitled Perequillo, or Terror in a 7'ub, was produced
last night with immense success, and adds an addi-
tional laurel to the well-earned reputation of that un-
rivalled buffo. His own saltatory feats and comicali-
ties presented, as usual, the acme of the agile combined
with the grotesque. Thrice had he, in compliance
with unanimous shouts, to achieve a " Burlesque
Extravaganza" with inimitable prowess. Several
dances of diversified character were introduced,
among others a pas Styrien, in which Miss Kate
Kirby and Cormack were encored ; an Ecossaia by
the former accomplished danseuse ; a Highland rant,
capitally danced by Cormack, whose precision and
brilliancy we have seldom, if ever, seen more advan-
tageously developed than in those two perform-
ances; a pas de deuce by Caroline Parkes and
Ernile Richarde, which was rapturously ap-
plauded; a Swiss dance, executed with great naivet4
by Miss M'Ewen; a Medley by Miss Emma Mears,
and a Cracovienae by the Misses Bolton and Hen-
drick; the entire being wound up:with a grand general
polka by the full corps de ballet. Special mention
must be accorded to aladlle. Palser, who completely
captivated the enthusiastic spectators. The singularly
prepossesssing appearance of this young and lovely
artiste, the exquisite gracefulness, finished execution,
and feathery hishtness of her movements, amply justi-
fied:the unbounded admiration which her enchanting
qualifications universally inspired. The house was
crowded to the ceiling, as it doubtless will be during
the continuance of such an attractive array of Terpsi-
chorean talent so harmoniously and brilliantly blended
under Flexmore's masterly supervision.

CORONEK'S liNQUEST.

Yesterday morning Mr. Payne, the City coroner,
held an inquest at the Fox Tavern, White-street,
Southwark, on the body of Catherine Collins, aged
35, whose death was alleged to have been caued by
the brutal violence of her husband, Richard Collins,
on Wednesday last.

The inquiry was opened pro forma on Friday last,
and, after ordering the man into custody, Mr. Payne
adjourned the inquiry with a view of having a post
mortem examination.

On the first opening of the inquiry a great number
of witnesses were examined, from whose testimony
it appeared that deceased resided with her husband
in New alley, White-street, Borough. On Wednes-
day morning, about 7 o'clock, the neighbours heard a
noise of quarrelling in Collins' room, and heard him
demanding money from her. The noise was repeated
about 9 o'clock, when struggling, cries of " Murder,"
and groans were heard, and several women entered
the room. They found Mrs. Collins' (who was eight
months advanced in pregnancy) lying on the floor,
with her husband stooping over her and tearing her
dress. She was taken up, and placed in bed, but she
died within half-an-hour. Her husband afterwards
admitted that he had beaten her, saying—"l did
not strike her to hurt her ; bat I have dune it, and I
must suffer for it."

Mr. Morgan, a surgeon, who was directed to make
the post mortem examination, said that he found the
eye bruised, but the rest t.f the body was so dis-
coloured from decomposition that it would be impos-
sible to tell a bruise from the surrounding parts. On
opening the body he found that the cause of death was
the rupture of a large vein, previously diseased, in the
vagina. This might have been caused by a blow, a
fall, or great mucular exertion and struggling. The
disease of the vein was not dangerous to life, and it
would not have burst without some violence. He
could not trace any external bruise, as the tissues all
around were infiltrated with blood. Death arose from
hemorrhage. A person kneeling on the woman
might cause the rupture, or any very heavy pressure
on the part would produce it.
The CORONER observed that one of the former
witnesses had spoken about a kick inflicted on the de-
ceased. He wished her to be recalled.

Several jurors observed that there seemed a great
deal of reluctance on the part of some of the witnesses
to communicate all they knew. One of the witnesses
(a Mrs. Taylor) had been so much annoyed by some
of the relatives of the man that she had teen obliged
to seek the protection of the police They had
threatened to burn her house down. Mr 4. Taylor's
reply to that threat was, that she had told a good deal,
and, if they did not mind, she would tell a good deal
more. A rather significant observation.
Mrs. Cooper (r& called) adrnitt:•d hearing the de-
ceased woman say the she had been kicked • she did
not say by whom. The words she timed were, " Oh,
my baby is born ; 1 have had a kick." She was then
lying on the ground in great agony. A Mrs. Con-
nell was the first person who entered the room. She
had not been examined.

Bank had, for its own security, found it necessary, or
even expedient, to avail themselves of this power,
would excite an alarm and a panic more for-
midable than those of 1847, and which could not
perhaps so easily be alleviated. On the whole, we
think that there are few indeed who have gone with
us in our remarks CM this report, of which, notwith-
standing its rather lame conclusion, we must still ex-
press our admiration, who will not agree with us in
saying that the Act of 1844 must ba erased from the
national statute-book, of which it is a stain and blot.

campaign will shortly commence. The success of the
house during the last few months has been very great,
and for this the management is ,unquestionably indebted
to the Island of Jewels, the last scene of which has never
been equalled for effulgent magnificence.
