A HAPPY TURN.--At one of the late
County Assizes, where an indictment for assault had been
preferred against a woman for the ill-usage of her husband,
who is superannuated, his Counsel, in the heat of decla-
mation, happened to say that half the t•ex were Devils,
but seeing a number of genteel females in the Court, after
a short pause, he went on, " but the other half are Angels,
aud °viva] of thew are now ',amt."

CONSTANTINOPLE, FEB. 23.—The persecutions
of the Catholic Armenians continue, as well as the
rigoroui manners of the Government, though the
tkemselves have made remonstrances which
have proved fruitless. The Armenian Patriarch be-
comes more cruel, and consternation is painted on
the countenances of his united brethren. The Mus..
sulmen un the Asiatic coast have endeavoured to
afford some alleviation to the fate of the unhappy
destitute emigrants, but there is a great mortality
among them, especially among the children.
The formation of the new English Ministry-, wits
the Duke of Wellington at its head, was known
here on the 4th Febt nary, but this event seems to
have made little impreision on the Reis Effendi anti
the Divan, for the state of affairs becomes worse
every day, and no regard is observed towards the
Christians.

The Porte has ratified the treaty with Denmark,
Spain, and Naples, concluded accoi ding to the 4th
article of the Convention at Akerman, and bas
caused the act of ratification to be delivered, with a
ncte, to the E.uvov of Spain. Though the Porte,
by this new proof of pacific intentions, promit,c4
proteetism to commerce, and pretends to remove the
obstacles to the navigation of the 131aek Sea, yet;
this result seems to be i►►compatible with the exist-
ing regulations, according to which all ships, t,v
whatever nation they may belong, hound to tl e
Black Sea, cannot obtai►r lir►uans for their vassage
except upon very okerons terms.

The Captains are obliged, among other things, to
take on board for Odessa, goods which the Porte
sells to them at a very high prier, and must engage
to make their return cargo in part, of sails, tar, corn,
and other things, which :ire repurchased of them at
Constantinople according to a ti.,:ed tariff, by which
they lose nearly 25 per cent. ; and they must besides
give secarity for the performance of this condition.
Transit trade is wholly prohibited, and though the
Reis Effendi said, only a few days flgo, that. the nas-
sage is free, and that the Bosphorus never has been
closed, the announcement by the Dutch, Austrian,
and Sardinian legations of the alitrre conditions is
equivalent to a prohibition, since it is clear that no
Captain will think of availing himself of this pre-
tended 'favour. The-trade of Odessa and Smyrna
must be ruined by these circumstances. The indem-
nities for the cargoes of corn which have been taken
from the European ships will, according to all appear-
ances, never be given.
The Reis Effendi, by a eirculai, has invited the
European Legations to give him an exact list of all
their subjects in the capital and in the province,. in
order, he says, to facilitate the exercise of the pro-
tection which the Porte has promised to the Franks,
This demand, the true object of which they fear that
they are not acquainted with, embarras,.ca the Euro-
pean Envoys, and though they yesterday invited all
the subjects of their respective nations to declare
their names, residences, and profession, it is believed
that no great haste will be made in drawing up these
lists, and that they will act with the greatest pmdeiice
on this occasion.—Augaburgh Gazette.

1 TELEGRAPHIC DESPATCH. _ _

" A telegraphic despatch,. dated Lisbon, March
1(1, says General Stubb: and General Taipa have
embarked ; there have been fresh troubles at Settt-
bal. Some companies of the Bth regiment of Chas-
spurs have been sent to quell them.
" Things still remain in the same state.' "

to the St. Pcter.sburgh Journal with the Turkish
manifesto, and the remarks on it.j
BUCIIAREST, MARCI 2 4.—Letter; bi the post
from Constantinople announce that the Greek mer-
chant Rally has been set at liberty. The capital is
tranquil, but the system of the Government is un-
changed.
ODESSA, MAitot (3.—At length two vessels have
arrived from Constantinople.
We do not know whether the closing of the Bos-
phorus is general or partial. The letters brought by
these vessels are not yet delivered, and we are ig-
norant of the date of their departure.
CONSTANTINOPLE, FEB. 23.—The Porte intends
to convert into barracks the houses of the exiled
Armenians, which meet with no purchasers; but as
no Turkish soldiers have hitherto been cantoned in
Pera, and their presence would give rise to frequent
disorders, the European Ambassadors have made
remonstrances to the Reis Effendi, who has an-
swered that he would lay them before the Sultana
but did not think they would be attended to.
Six thousand men are to be levied in the capital,
who are to be mounted on the horses furnished by
the Principalities, and to proceed immediately to
the Danube.
We learn from Angora, that of 11,000 Armenian
families exiled to that place, only 4,000 have arrived,
in the most lamentable condition::

DRURY-LANE THEATRICAL FUND

The Anniversary Festival of the Drury-lane
Theatrical Fuud took place yesterday at the Free-
masons' Tavern. There were upwards of 320 per-
sons present, Lord NORMANBY in the Chair.
It was intended that the Duke of Clarence should
have taken the chair, and that he would have been
accompanied by the Duke of Sussex; but their
Royal Highnesses were unavoidably compelled to be
absent.

The galleries were filled with ladies.
After the removal of the cloth,. and the einging in
fine style of " Non nobis Domine,"
The Noble CHAIRMAN rose to propose the health
of his Majesty.
" The King."—Air, " God save the King."
" The Royal Family," was the next toast, which
was followed by a general call for Miss Love'g
song. That lady sung from the gallery the beautiful
ballad, " Oh ! no, we never mention her," in such
a manner as drew down a unanimous and loud er-
core.
Lord NORMANBY, in the Haute of the fund, ex.
pressed his gratitude to his Royal HighneA the
Duke of Clarence for los patronage of the Charity,
nk with
snloonteigxd,c cheers, , andtstyle
ie followed o w;ierd.
rib7Y.
and concluded by proposing " The health of tfa,
Duke of Clarence, and a speedy recovery to him,"
which
" Long life to the Lord a:i‘rst:yas'i
Hain,"

The next toafq was, " The Navy of Great lid,.
tain," which brought up
.105. YoRKP., who refill ned thanks, and observed
that he Was not in the habit of speech-making, being
in fact, incapable of splicing two ends of a sentence
together.—(Hear, and laughter.)
The CHAIRMAN then ga-e—" The Army of
Great Britain."
Miss Coveney, a young lady scarcely 11 yeas cf.
age, daughter of Mr. Coveney, of the Haymarket,
was called en, and sang, " I'd be a butterfly," in a
style which displayed much native and real genius.
The Duke of ST. ALBANS rose and prefaced the
health of the Chairman with a short and appropriate
speech. After the applause excited by this LT-
nouncement had subsided,
Lord NORMANI3T returned thanks, and concluded
by proposirg* the health of " Mr. Harley, and the
Drury-lane Theatrical Fund,"
:1111'. HARLEY returned thanks.

The list of subscriptions was then read ;
which a few other toasts were given, and the n--
setaly broke up.
