The. Envoy from Turkey, who arriv-

thus noticed by the Tribune:
Captain Ammir Bey, Of the Turkish
navy, has been selected as the Repre-
sentative to the United States. He is,
we understand, gentleman of greatca
pacity, and has been employed by his
sovereign on numerous confidential
missions. He was the secret agent on
the frontiers of Hungary and Turkey,
during the recent struggle of that gal
liant people with Austria and Russia.
The selection of naval officer is de-
licate reciprocation Of the sending Of
the sending of Commodore Porter as

is an outrage against common sense. No
officer should be allowed 10 sell valuable
property. either real or personal, without
first giving notice Of the same through the
newspapers Of The county, or through The

can be cultivated so as to produce two
crops. First, by sowing winter wheat,
which is taken off in season to plant

husbandry, there might be produced
1000 millions bushels Of wheat, and
5000 millions Of corn.
of the other moiety, one half can be

There was quite lively converse
ton i cannot call it debate) in the
Senate as to who is entitled to the most
credit for passing the compromise mea-
sures. Mr.. Benton started and claim
ed the credit to himself; saying that he
knew from the outset that the omnibus
would fail. He was of opinion that il
single bills had been introduced from
the beginning, they would have passed
long ago. Mr.. Clay, with great digni-
lty, replied, that he was glad the mea-
sures passed in any form, for the sake
of the country, and he cared not who is
to share the honor Of passing them,
so that they carry healing on their
wings.
Mr. Foote, with great propriety and
truth, remarked that it was the omni-
bus, and the debate thereon, which had
changed public opinion, which, in the
end, had produced that pressure from
without to which the Senate and House
finally yielded. He finished with We
ry handsome peroration, "The tyran,
is trodden in the dust, and Rome is
free!" So much did that quotation
strike home, that there was quite 4
storm of applause in the galleries,
General Foote has earned golden opin-
ions in every quarter, and will, not.
withstanding the lugubrious ditties Of
his colleague, be triumphantly sustain

inc attachment to the country and in
situations, and will not take daylight for
