HER MAnsTr's SLoor FAIRY.—Our readers will
not have forgotten the disastrous late of the Fairy, in
November, 1840, engaged in surveying the coast near
Harwich, when in the squall, in which she was_ supposed
to have gone down, Captain Hewitt, his brother-in-law,
the master, Mr. Adam, mate, son of Sir C. Adam, then
one of the Lords of the Admiralty, and the whole ship's
company perished. It was thought that it was near
Lowestoft s.ie was lost, and the Admiralty, desirous of
regaining the valuable surveying apparatus, and the
charts and memoranda, the results of years of labour of
Captain Hewitt, sent a Government steam-vessel to look
for her, and offered large rewards to any party discover-
ing the precise locality of the wreck ; but although con-
tinual search was made, nothing more was heard of this
ill-fated vessel until Sunday last, when a letter was re-
ceived at Ramsgate, from the master of a fishing smack,
stating that while he and the crews of other fishing
vessels were employed in their avocations, a few clays
since, off Lowestoft, their nets became suddenly en-
tangled, and upon hauling them to the serf:ace of the
water, they pulled up the boom of a vessel, which, up in
close examination, is believed to have belonged to the
long-lost Fairy, which had been sunk in about thirteen
fathoms water. We sincerely hope this circumstance
will lead to a discovery of the hull, and the po,session
of the important data which it cost the country so much
money, time, and risk of life to obtain.
The Lord Chamberlain, Earl Delawarr, is expected
to arrive in Grosvenor-street to-morrow, by the
South-Eastern Railway from Buckhurst Park, to make
preparations in his department for the prorogation of
Parliament in person by her Majesty, who is expected to
arrive, according to present arrangements, at Bucking-
ham Palace on Wednesday afternoon.
RATTIER CURIOUS.—In an account of the birds,
&c, of the Andes, there appears the following curious
record of a rara avis, called the Pteroptoehos Tarnii.
This singular bird is found in time wood) parts of the
Andes, and is very difficult to shout ; its cry is compared ,
to the neighing of a young colt.

PERS! A. AN i TUB KEY.
The aspect of affairs in several of the more remote
provinces of the Turkish empire, and especially the
outbreak of hostilities between the Shah of Persia
and the Porte, appear to threaten the vast and
complex question of the East with fresh, though nc't
unexpected, difficulties. A war between Persist
and Turkey at the present moment would be en
event of the deepest importance ; and although it is
probable that the accounts of actual hostilities l°
Suleimania are exaggerated, the character of the
reigning Shah, the policy to which he is entirely
subservient, and the distressed condition of Turkey'
render such a war exceedingly probable. The ells'
ratter of the Shah is marked by that vain, enterprising
and ambitious temper, which led to the expeditil
against Herat; the policy by which these errore
the Persian Government are encouraged, is the se°
which has long exercised so powerful an influence
over the destinies of Asia ; and, unfortunately, tbt.e
condition of Turkey already emboldens her neigh
bours to attack her, and her subjects to revolt. 4,„
The position which Russia has acquired en "'"
Caspian Sea, and in the provinces on its western
il
coast, gives her a preponderating influence over, alt
the relations of Turkey and Persia. The very niris..
war undertaken by the Emperor Nicholas, °nil'
accession, made him master of the province of -Os;
lisch, beyond the Arras, and gave him the fortre.o.
of Abhasabad, on that river. The last ten YL,e,;,
have been spent in unceasing attempts w snPPe,
those mountain tribes of the Caucasus, whose inust
pendent valour still defends the defiles on the co in
of the Black Sea; but the Russian outposts,
Georgia completely command the principal route ir'd
Tabreez to Erzeroum. A war between Persil 11./1,3,
Turkey is impossible without the connivance nr,./ot,
stigation of Russia. The mere apprehension of Pent
tilities must impel Turkey to appeal to her Ittt:
enemy for assistance against her actual ass° of
