STEAM IN TURKEY.

A friend writes us: "a few years ago--I think
not more lhan ten--such thing a stearn-vessel
Of any kind was not known at Constaniinople. The
regular packet between that place and Smyrna was
little cutter-buit vessel that came out from Eng
land, and that took longer frequently to pass from
Smyrna to Constantinople--a distance Of some $50
miles-than it takes a steamer now to 60 from the
latter to Southampton, in England. About ten
years ago little steamer made her appearance in
that quarter she is still running but now considered
only ft for the Bosphorus, while the finest English,
French, Austrian, Russian, and Turkish steamers
now crowd the splendid harbor of the Golden Horn,
arriving from and departing to various points-some
to ngland, some to Trieste, Athens, Syria, the
Danube, Trebisond, Odessa, &C., &c. We, too,
have had for the last three four years, steam
er running there-a wretched old affair, the BAN
gor'-which was thought To be unseaworthy before
she left the United States A friend writes me,un-
der late date from Constantinople, that she has
at last been laid up as useless. The best steamers
in the Turkish service have been built by American
ship-builders. Indeed one Of these has beat every
boat of whatever service, she has had opportuni
ty of trying her speed with. learn, anoth er

come competitors with the English for building for

introducing railroads into Turkey shows that the
public think so. 1t is said that French, an Eng

various railroads within the Turkish dominions.
The Belgian minister here, it is said is endeavoring
TO get the Turkish government to send Gen. J. its
envoy to Brussels, where they have not had rep

A SPEECH TESTED BY HISTORY.

One Of the wing speakers from Tennessee de-
cared in his speech on Thursday, that in our second
war with England, her power twas concentrated in
a mighty struggle against the colossal power of Ma.
poleon;" and the presumption was, because her
hands were tied, we had been able to thwart
all her attempts and defy all her power. How
comes the "honorable" gentleman to forget that her
struggle against Napoleon was suspended in the
course of war of 1912; that her best troops were
then sent from the peninsula against us; and that
it was one Of the brightest and most frequcnly-re-
cited glores ofthe victory Of New Orleans, that we
had conquered the conquerors Of Europc.'
Has the orator from Tennessee never read the
eloquent euogium which Mr.. Clay pronounced at
the lustre of our arms' Let Mr.. Gentry compare
what he said in the House of Representatives on
Thursday, with the following remarks of the
orator Of Kentucky: .u.l.,
"Whstever diversity Of opinion may have exist
ed as to the declaration Of the war, there some
points on which all may look back with proud sat
isfaction. The first relates to the time of the con-
clusion Of the peace. Had it been made immediate
ly after the treaty Of Paris, should have retired
Inundated from the contest, believing that we had
escaped the severe chastisemcnt with which we were
threatened, and that owed to the generosity and
magnanimity Of the enemy what we were incapa-
BILE Of commanding by onr arms. That magnanim-
ty would have been the theme Of every tongue, and
Of every press abroad and home. We should have
retired, unconscious Of our own strength, and un-
conscious of the utter inability Of the enemy with
his whole undivided force, to make any serious inn
preston upon US. Our military character, then in
the lowest state Of degradation, would have been
unretrieved Fortunately for us, Great Britain chose
to try the issue Of the last campaign. And that has
demonstrated--in the repulse before Baltimore, the
from Pattsburgh the hard fought on the
Niagara frontier, and in that most glorious day. the
eighth Of January--thst we have always possessed
the finest elements Of military composition, and that
proper use Of them only, was necessary to insure
for the army and militia fame as imperishable az
that which the navy had previously acquired.
"Another point which appears to me 10 afford
the highest consolation is, that we fought the most
powerful nation, perhaps in existence, single-hand-
ed and alone, without any sort Of alliance. More
than thirty years had Great Britain been maturing her
physical means, which she had rendered as effica-
cious as possible, by skill by discipline, and by ac-
tual service. Proudly Boosting Of the conquest Of
Europe, she vainly Aattered herself with the easy
conquest Of America also. Her veterans were put
to fight or defeated, while all Europe mean the
governments Of Europe--was gazing with cold ndif-
ference, Oh sentiments Of positive hatred Of us, upon
the srduous contest. Hereafter no monarch can as
ser claims Of gratitude upon u.s. for assistance rem
dered in the hour Of danger"

From the New York Courier and Enquirer.

From the New YORK Courier ana Enquirer
CASADA.--of the military preparations which are
in progress in Canada, letter from an intelligent
gentleman at Kingston, published in the Rochester
Advertiser gives some interesting particulars which
do not reach US through Canadian newspapers.
The writer is said to be an Englishman. He ex-
presses the opinion that England intends to make
war with America, and predicts that she "will de-
stroy every seaport the seaboard during the next
summer, unless the Americans recede from their
position on the Oregon question:" The facts he
states are these: a..
even in Kingston, see what we are doing. Con-
tracts are out for making large battery on Navy
Point, another on Henry Point, third in front Of
Market square, and a fourth Murney Point.
Two Martello Towers--one on Cedar Island, and
one on the shoal in the harbor-are contracted for
Cost of the WHOLE 100000. All contracts are out
mediaely contracts for two land redoubis, equal in
sive to Fort Henry W. kaoc that war is expected
ia Canada, and that every preparation is made to
meet il, at almost every point. Depend upon IT,
England will not wait the convenience of the United
States" r. ...

were received yesterday, appointing Earl Caihcat
governor general of Canada. We have also heard
that the militia is to be Immediately embodied The
has not been published officially, but
we believe it will be found to be correct"
The Montreal Transcript regards the rumor, as to
the militia, as"prematnre," but says to the new
governor:
"The appointment Of Earl Cathcart to the govern
ment Of this province has been, in all probability,
suggested by the uncertain nature OF the relations
at present existing between England and the United
States. Although we by no means apprehend a
war, we can perfectly understand that the appoint
ment OF man possessing the military reputation
Of Lord Cathcsrt may be useful in more ways than
