TURKEY.

Letters from Trieste of the 18th inst., in the
Allgenseine Zeitung state, that the last &deices from
Bulgaria announce the cOmplete pacification of that
province. Ali Bin Pasha, whom the Most High Porte
commissioned eirher to subdue or to satisfy the mal-
contents of Bulgaria, assembled the chiefs of the
country round him ; _he listened to their complaints,
arid he assured them that the just wishes of the na-
tion should have a mature consideration. He advised
them to send a deputation of trustworthy men to
Constantinople. These pacific measures told upon
the insurgents, who disbanded and returned to their
homes. _ _

From Bosnia we learn that Omer Pasha and his
army are still at SerajPro, where he expects a rein-
forcement of thrPe divisions, which are to be quar-
tered at Mostar, Nik&itsh, and Trebigne. The inha-
bitant;3 of the Herzegovina have petitioned against
this extraordinary concentration of troops, and the
population (both Christians and Turks) are preparing
to oppose their entry into the country.

THE LOIDSIEIIP OF THE' SOIL.

(From the Weekiy Dispatch.)
We have been driven back to our former meditations
upon the subject of the inveterately feudal spirit of our
c
legislation by the gossiping curiosity of the public, and
the alacrity with which it has been supplied with the
pabulum of its prurient wonder by the gentlemen who
make themselves omniscient on a penny a line, and om-
nipreseut in the way of business. Society at large has,
legitimately, nothing to do with the will, legacies, or
property of Sir Robert Peel, except, perhaps, to ascer-
tain,

as it is about to erect a monument to his memory,
o
of the nation. Of all his numerous relatives' and con-
nnoot not ethosemeans
n
nexions by blood or marriage, we know of not one
quartered on the public. A colonel and a captain or
two of the name paid hard cash for their commissions
and steps; but, us if resolved to have nothing to thank
his country for, and to leave her his debtor in every-
thing, he spent upon her welfare out of his private means
ten times the amount of his official salary, and probably
only accepted that, not to urignate a precedent to the
injury of pourer statesmen. But every act of that man

somewhat disappointed us. Socrates, ere he quaffed the
hemlock, sacrificed a cock to Eseulapius; and Peel, at
his departure from among us, seems to have directed an
oblation to the political superstitions of his nation.
Throughout the testamentary disposition of his estate,
there is a strong leaning to the magnification of the
eldest son, and an equally marked preference for en-
riching his sons to a degree totally is ci. • proportioned to
the • corripaFgively moderate provision made for his
daughters.";Thitrilocument, which may strictly become
historical, is dated in. 1842, before his conversion to Free
Trade principles. The tendency of his later measures
we need scarcely say was totally destructive of .a feudal
policy. His more recent, speeches, as well, indeed, as
those of Lord John Russell, express the gravest doubts
of the truth of the assertion, thitherto treated by Whig
' economists as a truism, that small holdings were inju-
rious either to the progress of agriculture or to the
prosperity of society. A reaction flora the economical
gospel according to Macculloch is steadily setting in.
The Encumbered Estates Inland Bill is effectuating
a practical agrarian law for the whole of the
sister kingdom. A wretched, Pape-ground,- and hunger-
bitten Celtic tenantry are clearing out for America by
the remittances of their more fortunate, because earlier
expatriated, relatives, or are cleared out by distraining
landlords to become.burdensaipon the public rates. But
these proprietors are themselves being stripped of their
borrowed feathers by foreclosures, and the newer process
devised by the recent legislation of the law officers of
the Crown. In place of a pauper tenantry a race of
sturdy yeomen is springing up. Land has become dis-
persed
in its holding by.the auctioneer's hammer, and
the promptitude of Baron Richards. Freeholds, of all
sizes " to suit intending purchasers" are daily offered in
the. market at prices which enable a practical husband-
man to become a landowner.with profit, and to clear his
head of all future speculations ahem tenant-right, and
themyth called the law of Ulster. Out of the dry dead
trunk of Irish' ruin is coming the green wood of rege-
neration and rejuvenescence. It is even our believe that
from these Nets is to be drawn a more confirmed hope
of the ultimate and even early dawn of the brighter days
of a second lusty youth for Ireland, than we dare yen-
ture to expect in the case of England and Scotland. It
is only by an applicatiop of the same remedy that we
can indulge the anticipation t,f tiny genuine improvement
in the social condition of the masses of the people of
Great Britain, Wet can only be safe by.being natural,
cr, as Sallust, in his immortal introductory chapters,
Hibernically phrases it, by "living convenient to na-
ture." A very cursory study of the natural history of
,society might assure us that it a political economy of
Its own; which requires no help from human legislation,
which is only hindered and hurt by artificial laws, which
inheres, indeed, in human instincts, and is above and be-
yond our reason, or " the fantastic tricks, which man,
most ignorant7of what he's most assured, plays before
high heaven." When the French merchants answered
Colbert's offer of he by King's orders, or promulga-
tion of ordinances, wlp ith the etttreaty, 1. Let us alone,"
they enunciated one of the most subtle and significant
of truths. The doctrine of Ffee Trade is, in a word,
only " Let us alone." "No Corn Laura" means merely
