Excellency Governor Briggs. and of man,
other distinguished men. 1t is his inten
ton to return to Turkey when he shall have
completed his professional course; ant
there he will spread abroad accurate
knowledge of science. the practice o
which tends so much to the preservation
Of beauty and the promotion Of health and
comfort.
The high expectations of the friends O
MIR. Hachadoorian, touching his success
and eminenee in the profession which he
is now acquiring, will, we are sure, be
more than realized, and he will soon prove
TO his illustrious Sovereign, that his resi-.
dence in distant land has been the means
Of adding new lustre to the government
and people Of the Turkish empire.
! Abdul Medjid. in temperament, is na,u
rally ardent. but has acquired command
over himself that is really wonderful in
one who is yet so young. His tastes are
domestic. and his offspring are already
numerous. His disposition is mild and
amiable, and, as appears from what we
have stated respecting his tender egard
for human life, he is free from one Of the
worst Woes that can develop itself in even
an absolute sovereign-cruelty. He has
taste for the mechanic arts, and is good
turner. In appearance he certainly lacks
the beauty and dignity that were % con.
spicuous in his renowned father. He is
Of the middle size, and we'll built; but his
complexion is sallow, and his appearance
careworn. The general expression of his
face indicates irmness, tempered by dis.
position that is both sad and sweet. He
has taste for military affairs, and the ex.
pedi,ions which have been sent during his
reign against the border tribes have been
uniformly successful. Witness the sub.
|jugation of Bader Khan Bey. and Nor.
rooloo Boy, within the almost in ccessible
Businesses Of the Kurdish Mountains, where
no traveller but the dauntless Missionary
dared once to penetrate, but where now
there is full security for property aud life.

ment OF Sultan Abdul Mediid,
Whatever may be the events Of the fu-
ture, it may confidently be anticipated tina,
the present Sultan will perform we'll his
part therein. His sympath;es are entirely
with the liberal party in Europe; and,
when the long expected war Of opinion
shall come,-as come il one day must.-it
will find the Turkish government ready
and anxious to do its duty. as Jealous and
earnest in the contes. as il was in the last
century against the spoliators of Poland.
1t may be, and mos, probably is. the des
tiny of tho Sultan to regenerate the East.
and to restore life and energy TO that re.
gion, the mother Of religions, and once the
seat of empire. Almost the whole Of the
orient is under his rule, and owns his sway.
