CU-PRooREss OF CHRISTIANITY IN Tuk-
xEy.-The recent arrival Of an envoy from
the Ottoman Porte 70 our Government has
attracted large share Of public attention,
and given rise to a variety Of speculations
IN relation to the prosperity III stofe for the
Turkish empire. The protection afforded
by the sultan, Abdel MedJid, to Kossuth
and the other Hungarian refugees i'll his
dominions, with the advires We have for
some time past been receiving Of his en-
lghlened religious tolerance and the ap-
pointmenl by him Of Christians TO Offices Of
state, have tended TO excite ar unusual de-
gree Of interest in this subject. Progress
slye comnerclal intercourse and the spread
Of liberal sentiments have in great meas
ure removed the long cherished predujces
existing between the followers Of the
"Crescen, and the Cross" and the masses
of mankind every wi ere are beginning tu
learn that they are brothers We hail this
Christianity " al no very distant period a.
mone all the nations of the earth, and their
Consequent advancement in the scale Of civ,
illzation. Mahometenism reached its limi
and los. its vitality when it ceased to be
p,opagated BY tho sword. 1t is essen
TALLY the relig gion of violence and sensu-
alliy, and though superior to The idola-
tries which preceded it can never prevail
among refined and we'll educated peo-
pie. As the Turks continue in their
present career of improvement we autlcl'
pate a gradual change OF faith.

TIE ALLEGED BURsING OF SACRAMENTO
CITY.-The Springfield Republican adds
the following testimony adverse to the cred
bility Of the rumor of the burning of Sac
ramen.o City, to that previously made pub
public -
Dr. Bridgeman Of Chicopee, came down
on the Senator. He left Sacramento City,
al 3 o'clock on the l4th, and states TO US
his opinion that the rebell was at thi.
time suppressed, and that there would be
no serious difficulty farther. The rumor
Of the burning of the city, DR.. Is supposes
10 have arisen from the burning of the IIai-
rie, which had been on fire in the vicinity
for TWO or three days.

tired life for many years. But, though
taking no prominent par, IN public affairs,
he was secretly courtinR popularity and
such was his success that when in 1880,
Charles X was dethroned. the nation look
ell TO him to accept the vacant crown. The
intrigue by whish Louis Philippe obtained
royalty, promising TO rule as liberal mon
arch, is well known, as 10 also his treach-
cry after obtaining the crown. For nearly
eighteen years he con,rived to maintain his
position, partly by force, partly by sub,le,y,
TIL the revolution Of ls4s deprived him Of
power even more. than he had
obtained il. Since lha, period he has re-
SIDED in England. His oxile probably has
tened his end. though, at 80 advanced an
age, he could no, have survived much long
er.
The character Of Louis Philippe may he
deduced from this career. He sacrificed
every thing TO policy. There was no such
thing as honesty or sincerity in The man
he never could have died for a principle
and the arts of intrigue were more accep-
table 10 him than straight forward course,
lie was brave man, as his conduct at
Jemappes, and his coolnrss during many
attempts to assassinate him, prove. In his
domestic relations he was kind, affec onate
aud OF simple habits. Prosperity did no.
intoxicate, nor adversely depress him but
he tore both with the camness of an equal
anI disciIlip mind. AS King of the
French he was not without palrio,ism-he
did much to adorn Paris, and enrich the
/ public galleries and in his endeavors to
preserve peace, he was governed as much
by the interests Of his native land as by his
own. But his ambition was to perps.uate
his dynasty, and for this he sacrificed hon
or, the good Of his people, and, as events
proved, his family Interests and his own
life. Had Louis Philippe honestly carried
on, the promises, made when he ascended
the throne. he might TO this day ave been
| living, aud living as King Of The French
1t is true his path was surrounded by diff
culies. But a straight forward course
might have removed these, while circuit
| Gus and lreachcrous one was sure, as facts
" have proved, to increase them. IL Louis
|, Philippe had regarded the true interests of
his people, he ~ou d, even if he had fallen
a vlc,im to revolution, have earned the ap-
I plause OF poslerily but having consulted
Il his own selfish advancement, and broken
the mos, solemn pledges in doing so, his
name can never be regarded with reveI-
! encc, or even respect.
