LONDON, MODDAY, JANUARY 14, 1850.

0 rrimas has continued, up to the present epoch,
fixed upon its original and gigantic foundations. The
walls of what was once Byzantium have not yielded
to the resonance f)f the horn of CLio, ae the battle-
ments of Jericho crumbled down at the braying of
the trumpets of the Lraelites. It is true that along
the northern fcontio- rs of European Turkey the
daring encroachments of the AUTOCRAT have already
became perceptible, yet, still in defiance of the seizure
of Bucharest by the Cossacks, and in direct contra-
diction of what must inevitably be regarded as the
portent of a partition or an absorption of Moldavia
and Wallachia, the sceptre of ABDUL-MESCHID is
still grasped with a serene and haughty confidence
in its power, the crescent still glitters upon the domes
and minarets of Constantinople.

Turkey, according to the felicitous expres-
sion of the Edinburgh Reviewer, " has now
been, for five generations, in its nominal agony,''
and still, with an effete Government, a pre-
carious exchequer, and a popular disbelief in its
Own more propitious destinies, it survives the un-
utterable displeasure of Austria and the insatiable
ambition of the Russian AUTOCRAT. How
this polilical miracle comes to pass is a problem
as apparently inexplicable at the first blush as any
other of the many miraculous events in the annals of
Turkey, and yet on examination proves to be alto-
gether as comprehensible. It is, as we have intimated,
the natural recompense of the enlightened policy es-
tablished at Constantinople and the natural retribu-
tion of the tyrannous and retrogressive policy erected
upon the iron basis of despotism at S. Petersburgh.
Strangely enough, on taking a retrospective glance
at the history of Turkey, we discover that the rise of
the Ottoman dynasty, dating from 1299, was very
nearly contemporaneous with the disastrous close of
the last and seventh crusade. That crusade, leading, as
can never be forgotten, to the complete loss of the
Holy Lands, was anterior to the coronation of the
first OTHMAN by only eight years, taking place as
it did in 1291. Within twenty years from that date
the Knights Templars, the champions of Christianity,
had perished from the face of the earth which they
had adorned by their virtues and hallowed by their
heroism ; and not long afterwards the renowned army
of the Janissaries, the champions of Infidelity, had
sprung into existence. It was, consequently, at this
memorable and momentous epoch, an epoch generally
regarded as the commencement of modern history,
that Europe beheld herself assailed at once by the
bands of the infidels on the shores of the Bosphorus
and on the banks of the Guadalquiver, by the Moors
and ;by the Mussulmen. A period of advance-
ment for the arms of the crescent, beginning
with the battle of Nicopoli,, and ending
with the battle of Angora, the former advantageous
to the cause of the Islamites, and the latter disastrous
for the time being to their dominion—led to the con-
quest and captivity of BAJAZET, by TIMOUR the
TARTAR, and the marvellously rapid salvation of
Turkey from the " Slough of Despond," by the
marvel-working authority of hIAHOMET. Under
MAHOMET II , namely, in 1453, the sway of the
Byzantine CIMARS was brought to a close, and the
Roman Empire finally extinguished, by the capture
of the city of Constantinople. Since then, the empi:e
of the Ottoman Porte, though repeatedly threatening
disruption, has preserved its integrity uninterruptedly
until the Russian EMPEROR has ventured upon divers
insidious encroachments, and those encroachments
have been repelled by the tacit alliance
established between Turkey and the rest of Christen-
dom. Yet a little while longer, and we shall have an
opportunity of discerning whether the greed of terri-
torill aggrandisement on the part if the AUTOCRAT
will be sufficient to acquire a superior influence to
the amicable support granted to the SULTAN by the
rest of the great powers of Europe.

After all, the Public Exhibition of 1851 is to be
indeed a public undertaking. Popular opinion having
almost unanimously dissented from the arrangements
already made, the Commission have at once availed
themselves cf a clause in the contract with Messrs.
MONDAY and cancelled the agreement. The public
spirit manifested by Messrs. MONDAY in their magnifi-
cen t proposal has been generally appreciated ; but while
we consider them entitled to public gratitude for their
spontaneous offer and for the unhesitating confidence
which it evinced in the success of the Exhibition,
nevertheless we cannot but rejoice in the altered ar-
rangements. The Messrs. MONDAY are superseded
by the only party rightly qualified to carry out such
an undertaking—the Nation. The whole affair at once
assumes a different character. It is no longer possible to
cavil at any (apparent) unfairness. The Exhibition to
be held in London, in the metropolis of manufacture,
will be wholly prepared and carried out at the expense
of the British public. This is as it should be. As a
national undertaking the Exhibition has from the first
elicited our interest ; as such it has already called forth
the unanimous sympathies of the people. There is—
to every one who rightly estimates the true nobility
of Industry and the glory of Commerce—there
is something more than ordinarily attractive in the
proposed competition. Among the truths which
Time has taught us, one of the.most practically be-
neficial is the superiority of peaceful ever martial
triumphs. No longer is the laurel-wreath the only
or the dearest object of ambition. No longer is the
artizan considered as an object but a little more dig-
nified than the material at which he labours. It is
true the principle is not yet carried out to a fit ex-
tent, but it is progressing.
" The power of thought, the magic of the mind,"
is now recognized, in some degree, as
Nature's patent of nobility. It has been said, " Man
is born to create, from the poet to the potter," and
the power of creation is assuredly one of the noblest
endowments of humanity. The poet who has, en-
riehed mankind with new treasures of thought and
feeling, who, when the hearts of thousands beat with
rapture, when noble impulses are stimulated and selfish
hearts are humanized by the power of his words, can
exultingly exclaim " This is my work 1" is without
doubt entitled to the gratitude of all. But the ex-
ercise of this noble faculty is by no means cir-
cumscribed to the poet, although possessed by him
in its highest degree. Every artist and every ar-
tizan who discovers or developes the resources cf art
is in his several ways a -public benefactor. As a
recognition of this fact, as a homage to Industry and
Invention (those " twin giants" of civilization), we
lock upon the proposed Exhibition as a most inter-
esting and important event. In another respect, also,
it claims our cordial approbation—as a bond
of union among many nations. When at first it
was suggested that only British artists should be
among the competitors, the proposition met through-
out the kingdom with unanimous dissent ; it was con-
sequently decreed that the competition should be uni-
versal. The distinctions of class and country are justly
felt to be out of place in a matter which concerns
the fraternizing principles of art. Regarded under
these aspects, as a public encouragement to the
peaceful arts, and as a gathering together of men of
all nations, it is obvious to all that the Exhibition
must be a national work. Such it is now to
be : with the public rests its progress
and its consummation. On public support its success
henceforth depends. Will that support be niggardly,
so that success may be compromised ? Will the nation
who have insisted in taking the matter in their owl,
hands give a public manifestation of their illiberality
by suffering it to be carried out in an unworthy
manner? Shall the public spirit of Messrs. MONDAY
put our national liberality to shame? Impossible.
It is a matter which admits cf no hesitation; it is a
question to which there can be only one reply. The
nation has undertaken the work, and it will be
carried out i❑ a spirit worthily national. The
Messrs. MONDAY have no cause to repent the offer of
the contract ; their conduct has been justly appre-
ciated and approved. Hence the decision of the
Commission cannot but be regarded with universal
feelings of satisfaction.

However briefly we may be compelled to allude in
a single political criticism to an article of such re-
markable scope, although one so ingeniously com-
pacted together, we would at the earliest moment
direct attention to an historical paper contained in
the current number of the Edinburgh Review, re-
ferring to a subject most momentous both to Asia
and to Europe, namely, the past and present relations
of Turkey and Christendom. Within the compass of
a few pages will be there founi condensed an extra-
ordinary amount of facts at all times interesting, but
at this particular epoch invested with a peculiar
fascination. That the perpetuation of a Mahometan
Government on the very threshold of the
European Continent should have become matter
for earnest solicitude to the majority of the
states of Christendom, whereas formerly the
rise and developement of the Ottoman Empire
had been only viewed by those identical States with
jealousy, is a circumstance of itself sufficient to de-
monstrate that some wonderful change has taken
place in the relative situation of the faithful and of
the unbelievers. A supposition, moreover, strangely
and strikingly corroborated by the exchange of gifts,
of compliments, and of representatives, between the
SULTAN'CALIPH on the one hand, as the chief' of
Islamism, and the Supreme PONTIFF on the other, as
the visible head of Roman Catholicism. Notwith-
standing the animosities which for centuries have
raged between the followers of the PROPHET and of
the REDEEMER, it is marvellous to know that at
length the Cross has yielded to an amicable alliance
with the Crescent. But one sentiment is enter-
tained towards the Ottoman dynasty by all the races
bordering upon the Mediterranear, from the Straits
of Gibraltar to the Straits of the Hellespont—the
sentiment of friendship. But one feeling is cherished
amongst the various nations populating the shores of
the Baltic, from the western limits of Denmark to
the eastern extremities of Pomerania—the feeling of
amity. Nor is the growth of this confidence in the
councils of the Sublime Porte attributable to any
lesser motives than those of a cordial reliance on
Turkey, and a prcfaund distrust of Russia, a regard
for the SULTAN and a detestation of the AUTOCRAT,
an antagonism to the retrogressive policy of St.
Petersburgh and an affinity of affection for
the progressive policy of Constantinople. These
are the considerations which have withdrawn
the regard of the Europeans from the capital of the
Cz klt, and concentrated it upon the denizens of the
Golden Horn and the frequenters cf the Bosphorus.
While the favour of Christendom has been thus se-
cured to the authority established by the Musselmen
at Constantinople, the permanence of that authority
has continued a subject of unbelief during many suc-
cessive generations. Between two and three hundred
years ago the approximation of the Turkish power to
its downfal was predicted by the voice of KNOLLES ;
subsequently, the same lugubrious prophecy was ar-
ticulated by the lips of CANTEMIR ; and within
our own time the annalist HALLAM did not
shrink thirty years back from pronouncing
that period to be the one immediately
antecedent to the destruction of the Divan, and the
general dismemberment cf Turkey. Long, however,
as the tones of thehistoric CASSANDRA have rung thus
ominously through the mosques and palaces of Con-
stantinople, the domiaion of the descendants cf

Tne S Ecle of Saturday has the following
If we are well it f.,rmt d, family affairs occupy a con-
siderable degree of attention at the Elysea at this
moment. Tho Minister f Justice is said to have been
charged to examine a question which he had himself
submitted to the consideration c f a commission com-
posed of eminent lawyers,° such as M. Dupin, sen.,
M. Portalie, M. Barthe, M. Troplong, &e.
It is this :—The treaty of Fontainebleau, corroborated
by the will t f the Empero”, secured to the Bonaparte
family claims on the public treasury for considerable
sums, which, with interest, would now amount to more
than twenty millions. The restoration, considering
the treaty of Fontainebleau as abolished both by
right and by the events if war, paid no attention to
the claim. At the time of the revAntion of
July, claims were sent in to the new Government by
the members of the Bonaparte family, who were then
in exile; the Council of State were called on to examine
hese demands, and presented a f ivourable report. But
she Government c f Louis Philippe did not think it its
duty to acted to those claima, which are now again re-
newed. The commission to which M. Rouher has sub-
mitted the question, it is said, inclined to regard the
question in the same light as the Council of State of 1831,
and it is on the opinion cf this special commission that
the Government will present a Bill tending to effect the
rc-!mbursement ef the sums which may be duo by France
to the heirs of the Emperor, after it had been subj:cted
ti the exateinition t f the Council sf rate."
The Constitutionnel of yesterday, gives an authori-
tative denial to this statement that a Bill was-ko be
presented to the Assembly for a reimbursement of
20,000,000 francs to the BONAPARTE family.
The same journal contradicts the rumour of to in-
tended expedition to La Plata. It says—
" Several journals announce that the Government,
with respect to the affair of La Plate, has talien me:-
sures seemingly contrary bath to tie policy which it sup-
ported during the di,cussior, and to 61 e vote come to by
the Assembly. They speak of a military expedition,
state the number of men to be emiarked, and tame t'-.0
admiral to be intrusted with the command. There is
nothing true in the report."
The Committee on the Bill for increasing the pay
of non-commissioned officers has chosen M. ODILOisi
BARUOT as reporter. The Committee will, it is
thought, report against the measure.
M. Bum has addressed the following letter to the
Siecle :
" A placard posted up yesterday points out in vio-
le t terms the (0 iduct a ten of the most res;:eotiWe

declare that my name has been wrongfully mixed up in
the affair. Complete y unconnectrai for many ye irs

persons for whom I have the greatest esteem, cannot but
oe peee3tly honourable. I think it my duty at the
same tine to declare that I shall take proceedings for
efamation against the author of the placard.
" Accept, &c.,

The Salut Public, of Lyons, says—
"ln spite if the severity c f the weather, and of
political agitations, the state of trade in our city is satis-
factory, and t e silk manufactories are in full activity.
Our working population, will thus be enabled to pass
through a long and severe winter without much suffer-

local industry, to provide fir their wants."

dent to offer a fresh insult to an American citiz?n,
who read the Protestant service to twelve of his
countrymen, at his residence in Via Bastianello, and
who received an express prohibition to repeat the
cffence on pain of expulsion, notice having been given
to Mr. Case, the American Minister, that his ceun-
tryrnen would he sent away if he repeated
the offcrice of worshipping God according to the dic-
tates of his conscience. The Americans have long
wanted a port in the Mediterranean, and the present
Government must possess but little of the proverbial
American "cuteness" if it does not take advantage
of this lapses on the part of the Cardinals, to take
possession of. some port in the Mediterranean. No
European power could or would risk a war to prevent
them.
Letters from Rome of the sth inst. state that the
French army of occupation is to be reduced to 18,000
men. The cold was intense, and the roads were
covered with snow. Other letters of a private kind
state that the Very Rev. Dr. CULLEN, many years
President of the Irish C ,liege at Rome, has been
appointed by the POPE Primate of all Inland. Dr.
CULLEN'S name was not on the list of prelates whose
names were sent from Ireland, and the unusual fact of
choosing out of the list will, it is believed, excite
discontent amongst the Irish bishops. Dr. CULLEN is
shortly expected at Paris on his way to Ireland.

SPAIN.
Madrid journals of the 6th have arrived.
The report of the Committee on the Budget was
read on the sth in the Chamber of Deputies, and the
Finance Minister promised to bring in a Bill for the
settlement of the debt. The proposition of MENDS-
ZABAL for the sale of church property, the proceeds
of which should be devoted to the liquidation of the
debt, was opposed by the Finance Minister, first, be-
cause ite adoption would destroy the then Clergy
Dotation Bill passed last session; and, secondly,
because it was in contradiction to the vote of the

House, which had authorised the Government to
come to an understanding with the Holy See as to
the definitive arrangement of the clergy, &c., which
the Government was determined to carry out. The
proposition was rejected by 126 votes against 41.

BALLOONS FOR CONVEYING
INTELLIGENCE.
TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN.
SIR,—As in common with others, I feel greatly
interested in the success of the expedition now about
to proceed to the Arctic regions in search of Sir John
Franklin and his companions, I was much pleased
with the result of the experiment, on Wednesday last,
of balloon agency for the conveying of intelligence to
great distances.
Though the project of sending off dispatches by
balloons dates back some years, there may be fresh
conditions affecting its application. Since paper
balloons were first used for such a purpose we have
improved in the manufacturing of calico; we can now
obtain thin calico at about 2d. per square yard, admi-
rably suited for balloons; the varnishing per square
yard would be about 2d. more, together 4d. Taking
into account the making, a baboon of such material,
of about fifty cubic feet contents, requiring nearly
eight yards material, would certainly cost less than
five shillings, and if a large number were made the
cost would probably not much exceed half-a-crown
per balloon, with an available buoyancy of about
eleven ounces, supposing the inflating gas to be about
one-sixth the weight of atmospheric air.
A calico balloon admits of rough handling, which a
paper one does not; and though the calico balloon
must, to have a certain available buoyancy, be larger
than a paper one and would require more gas for
its
considering the nature and object of vs
employment and the facility of supplying gar, the
calico balloon, I have not a doubt, would be found
preferable; for when it descends it might be held to
the place of its descent by a small grapnel with a
line 1f some twenty yards length, and it would en-
dure in its captive state hard thumping upon an ice-
berg, the gas not immediately escaping, its size would
not for some time diminish, and there would be a
better chance of its being seen at a distance.
'l'he plan of dropping papers by means of a slow
match does not, I think, admit of a long suspension ;
if so, the ranges must n'cessarily be short. Surely
it would be better to secure the papers, so as to de-
scend with the balloon, which would probably take a
flight of some twenty-four hours before it alighted,
and it might be seen for some hours upon the wing,
which might lead to its discovery.
With respect to the inflation, would it not be better
to obtain hydrogen gas by, the decomposition of steam
than by the chemical action of sulphuric acid upon
zinc filings ?
In conclusion, I would observe that balloons may
not only le a means of salvation to voyagers, but a
means also of furnishing interesting information as
to the currents of air at high elevations in the Arctic
region. NAUTICUS.

FATAL SLIP.—On Thursday morning last an un-
fortunate policeman was found lying on the pavement
in Harrison-street, Gray's Inn-road, surrounded by a
pool of blood; he was conveyed to the Royal Free Ho, -
pital, where it was discovered that his skull was frac-
tured. He died in the course of the afternoon. It is
supposed that he had been to try the door of one of the
houses, and that, in returning his foot slipped, and his
head coming in contact with one Qf the steps, he thus
met with the injury.
ANOTHER LETTER FROM SIR R. PEEL.— We ex-
tract from the Norwich News thy• following letter, ad-
dressed by Sir R. Peel to Mr. George Gow, r, of Small-
burgh, in reply ta a quest on put by tliat gentleman on
public ground:, i❑ reference to the applie at' on of the
20 per cent. set apart t , his t •t•autry by the Right Hoc.
Baronet:—" I will with ph asure answer the question
which you put to me.. My tenants quite understand
that the 20 per cent. of the turret t year's rent is ts, be
applied in each case most beneficial to the farm.'
Draining, the removal of useless fences, and the pia -
sers afion of manure, were named as entitled to prefer-
ence, from a conviction on my part that such improve-
ment where required, are more for the real benefit of a
tenant than any other. They have also the advantage
of employing labour. There are cases on this estate on
which, so far as concerns draining and fences, such im-
provements 1 ave been already made. In those raws
the tenant is equally to have the full benefltiof the 20 per
cent. allowance. I hope he will agree with me, that the
first object for his interest should be to provide effectu-
ally against waste of that manure which is made upon
the farm; that being done, there will not be the slight-
est objection on my part to apply the balance to the
purchase rf other manure's. —I am, Sir, your obedient
servant, ROBERT PEEL. Dia iton-mauor, Jan. 7."
FRIGHTFUL ACCIDENT.—An accident of a most
fearful character happened on Saturday morning, ne as
the Bevy station of the Eastern Counties Earle as, which
terminated fatally to John Redder, a smith, in the em-
ploy of the company. It apptarJ Ow shortly after
8 o'clock, on the morning in question, the nail tura,t)
man, who resided at Old Ford, got upon the line a shot t
distance on the Essex side of the station at B ,w, for the
purpose of walking down to the company's works at
Stratrord, where he was employed. He was pursuing
his way, apparently on the dow❑ side of the line, when
the driver of the engine attached to the 8.10 down train
fsoin Bishopsgate station noticed him. The steam-
whistle was immediately sounded, and the usual precau-
tions ado' t-A in alarming the unfortunate fellow as t ►
his dangerous position. To bring the train to a halt was
impossible, and in a few moments the whole train passed
over him; the body was found to be shockingly met:-
la el; the head was frightfully crushed, and his arms
and legs severed, and otherwise injured. A shell being
procured, the body was removed to the Five Bells pub-
lic-house.
FIRE AT CRUM CASTLE.—A. report is in town
tc-day (Friday) that Crum Castle, the magnificent seat
of the Earl of Erne, had been destroyed by fire. The
report originated in a traveller who was passing through
Lisnaskes, at about one o'clock yesterday, when the in-
habitants were rushing to the castle to aid in suppressing
the flames. Another gentleman, who travelled by the
Enniskillen mail last night, stated in Monaghan that
when passing by the demesne, the passengers distinctly
saw the flames of the still burning edifice. If the fire
continued unabated from one o'clock in the day until
that late hour in the night, it must be very much ic-
jureo. This, we believe, is the third time this splintlid
bile f building has been burnt.—Monaghan Standard.
WILD FOWL.—It is remarkable that a greater
number of strange wild fowl, some aquatic and some
land birds, have visited this neighbourhood than has
been known for a great number of years past. The es-.
prey, or fishing eagle, is one of these rarities. We like-
wise saw the other day a specimen of the goose genus of
sin unusual description; a pair of these birds were no
ticed in the waists about Beeston and Clifton, and were
much sought after for several days by the sportsmen in
the vicinity; the one we saw, the last of the unfortunate
pair, was shot at the back of Clifton -hall. Almost all
the birds to which we have made allusion are under-
stood to be natives of high northern► latitudes. Their
presence here, therefore, would imply that the wit_ttcr
has set in those regions with unusual severity.—Notts
Mercury.
