The legislative honors bestowed upon the
momory Of Mr.. King, not only reflect cred
it upon those who have participated in them,
but they will receive a warm response from
The National heart, which always appreci-
a,es the distinctions conferred on those
who really deserve them. We have been
especially interested in the spontaneous
tribute offered by some who were the poll
tical antagonists Of MIR. King. We hope
from it good effect. When the wise and
the good forge! the prejudices of party to
tender their regret and respect as a tes.i-
monial to the memory of one who has no
longer the power of reward, may not our
Statesmen rehec, that the honor Of life,
devoted wilhnu, reproach to the service Of
the Republic, is better reward for the
highest ambition, than successful intrigue
or exalted oflice.-RaH. finer.

on the cultivation Of tobacco in that colony
1t says that nothing can be more successful
than that cultivation, and that it will be a
source of permsnen! prosperity 10 the col
ony. 1t declares that The tobacco of Egypt.
Macedonia and Greece is much inferior; ,ha,
the tobacco of Hungary is not so ageeable
TO lhe tasle; that that Of Kentucky is not
finer, and does not burn SO well; and lha.
lha. Of Maryland is more bitter.
1t says that since the 1st Of September no
fewer than 299,332 kilogrammes have been
purchased by the government. 1t states that
the cultivation, favored by climate and soil.

RUSSIA AND TURKEY.-The London
Times money article says i, was under
stood in the city on The 2Sh ult., that a
treaty had been arranged between England
and France, guaranteeing Turkey agains,
any aggression on the par, of Russia, and
it remains for Prussia and Austria to Join
therein if they think fit.
The Times states in leading article,
that there is lille reason 10 doubt that the
principal portions Of the campaign have
hitherto been uniformly credilabe to the
Turks, and that they appear TO have been
more particularly successful in The Cncss-
sian country; but the Times does no, see
that we are approaching any nearer to the
evacuation Of the Principalilies, and the
withdrawal Of The Russian, demands. The
aggression of Russia must be resisted, the
authority Of public law must be vindica,ed
and the rights of Europe must be secured /;
bu. these objects are far from likely to be
attained by negotiations, conducted with
The conseu. of Europe, than by the engage
men, Of any particular powers in hoslii'les,
Of which it is impossible TO predict the end.
