redoubtable leader in De Mor gas, but previ us to his rash act he had engaged in 8 demonstration in which between 8fty and sixty thousand took part.The Home Secretary informed Mr.De Morgan that he would receive à deputation of the Claimant's friends to-day, and, if good reasons were given, bear him (Le Morgan) at the Bar of the House.This incident has recalled a somewhat similar circumstance in Lord Melbourne's time.\u2018The leaders of an immense crowd pressated themselves at the door of the Home OfBcs with a petition, but Lond Melbourne declined to receive it, and informed them that be would hold them re sponsible for any disorder that might en ane.\u2018This cool message frightened the leaders, who begged that they might get off by s back door, =o that their followers might not discover the rebuff they bad received, This privilege was allowed them, and the crowd having in some mysterious manner Let their leaders, and finding no one to fight, grew tired of waiting, snd gradually dispersed.One straggler, bolder than Leigg several millions, some others, swaggered up toa sentinel on Down: ; .t.(PE street shouting \u2018* Liberty or Death.\u201d The rot pe or HAETINGION

back.Tue TROUBLE between the Turks and Miri dites is considered by the Porte à great mistake, and the Pasha whose stupidity brought it abont has been removed from his post.The reason why the Turkish Government should regard it as 8 mistake to drive these people into hostility may be found iu the following facts.The Miri- dites ave à sept vf Catholic Christian subjects of the Porte in Albania.They beloag to the Guegh branch of the Aibanian race, and are on much better terms usually with the Mahometan Gueghs than with their Montenegrin neighbors of the Greek Church, or with the Tusk Albanians of any creed, They are reputed the fiercest and best fighting men among the Christian subjects of the Porte, and it will interest all readers of Fitzgreen Halleck to know that the conflict in which Marco Bowaris lost bia life was a night attack of the Sulivtes, who were Tusk Albanians, upon à camp vf the Miridites in 1523.Mr.Halleck's version of the affair in not abaolutely historical in ita accuracy, and does rather more than justice to the Greeks in con- pection with it.The vanguar) of the army of Mustai Pasha which moved down from Albania in 1923 upon Greece proper was com posed of Catholic Miridites and Mahometan Gueghs under the command of Djelaleddin, Bey of (Ichrids, Marco Bozzaris and bis three huudred and fifty Suliotes surprised their camp and might have routed them utterly had the Greek armatoli of Ætolia and Acarnanis, who lay où the surrounding beights and watched the flashing of the Suliote guns, come down to help those brave partisans.But the Greek jealousy of the Suliotes kept them inactive, and Bozzaris threw his gallant life away practically for nothing, 60 far as the immediate consequences of the sacrifice wore concerned.The Porte, it will be seen, in quite right in regarding any disturbance of the loyalty of the Miriditos as a sad blunder at this moment when their help might be so important against the Russians of the Greek Church and the Monteaegrins, whom they hate with an equal hatred War Hs Bees Dectarep, and the Russian forces, tn the number of one bundred thousand, it in said, have begun the attack.The Czar's Manifesto, which was immed Tuesday, states that Russia Las all along been striving for pence, bat uwing to Turkey's stubborn refusal to make any attempt to execute reforme, has been forced to declare war single banded, and invoking the blessing of God upon Lis valiant armies, the Czar gives them the order to cross the Turkish frontier.It is supposed that Buseo, in Moldavie, will be the Russian hemiquarters after crossing the Pruth, in which respect the strategy of the opening campaign is sail to resemble that of 1853, when the same point was selected.Great changes will be made in order to turn the Rou- manian railway to aocount, this road with its connecting lines establishing direct communication between Odessa, Rischeneff, Jassy and Guergo, an important point on tbe Danube, facing Silistria, whence runs the main rosd to Shumla, one of the keys to Constantinople.With thess railway facilities at command Kussia will be compelled, both on military and political grounds, to avoid the tardy movements made in the late war.The cocupation of Roumania then wae a formidable threat, but new it may be com- sidered but little better than Russian terri tory nominally owing mbmission to the Porte.In June, 1853, the Rumians entered that pro- vinos, aud supposing Turkey would immediately yield, delayed active operations until January, 1854, when they invested Kalafat, which the Turks had seized.Towards the end of March the war began ott a grand scale by the Rasmians crossing the Danube and uccupying the Turkish province of the Dubrodjs, around Trajan's wall.Part of the army besieged Silistris, but it waa compelled to retreat in June, after heavy fght- ing, Mome months later the Russians with: drew from tho Danube, concentrating their foross in the Crimes, where the war was oven: tually decided.Taking warning from these blunders it is very likely that Rossia will puab on operations with tremendous energy, and pos- #ibly the Turk may receive severe punishment at first.jeter, as he dees not take part in important business in the House.A Weary Reuctovs Luwatic of New York has been arrested.Ie took several pespls into his office and offered them $1,000 each to listen to his preaching.Over $30,000 was found un his person.* Tug RaMovAL of their priest is demanded by the congregation of the Portugese Roman Catholic Church, of Boston, Mam., alleging against him many acta of hostility towards his charge and general inoonaistent behaviour, THE TaoUsLE existing for some time past between the King of Dahomey and the Etritish tinvernment bas been satisfactorily arranged.Great Britain modifies her claims against His Highness, and will not extort the whole of that tine of 500 puncheons of palm ofl, Tw Paoutnirony Liquor Law has been defeated in the Massachusetts Legislature by a vote of 117 to 106.Both branches of the Legislature are Republican aad probibitory, but the status of the Repoblican party in the State is not sufficiently formidable to pass the measure.L'HOLERA has brokon out in Akyab, India.Twenty-five per cent.of the emall Furopean fr-pulation died ia thirty hours.The famine shows traces of approaching ita worst point, and there is reason to hope that the maximum distress will be less severe than anticipated.Tre Beaming of an oil village in Penaxyl- vania arose from lightning striking a large tank +n Troutman farm, containing 22,000 barrels of oil.The tank was torn to pieces ; and two + ther tanks equally as large having been set un tire, acresk of burning oil flowed from the place igniting everthing.The town of Troutman was «atirely destroyed.Soxx Lire Instraxce Coxraxizs in the United States are still ia trouble, The Ameri.van Popular Life has been ordered to show cause why à receiver be not appointed, and it is also reported that a deficiency of $300,000 has been found im the funds of the Life Association of America, and that the Company will not bo al- \u2018vwed to do a business in the Eastern States until the impairment is made good.THR ADvocacy of the Malthusiam doctrine ty the notorious Charles Dradlaugh and Mrs, Annie Desant, the free thought lecturer, bas brought them into trouble, they having Leen wrrested and committed for the offence, being afterwards released on their own rocognizances.Doctrines like those advoested by these pernici- vus busybodies sre not likely for some time tu meet with sympathy in the country that has attained for itaalf the grand old title of the ** mother of nations.\u201d Boss Twzzn's alleged confession, which direct: ly accuses several prominent public men of New York of receiving bribes, and which, if trae, shows that the whole management of the public affairs of that city had & more corrupt basis than was expected even after the exposure of the rings misdeeds, is causing intense excite ment.It appears to be the prevailing impression that this confession, unlike the one which appeared in Harper's Weekly, is mainly true.Pazsiperr Haras is determined not ta nacri- fice principle for oustom, even thoagh such a high authority se Mr.Evarts is its interpreter, and Mrs.Hayes nobly seconds the stand of her husbsad in not surrendering to the sophistries of Court advisers, Justices Clifford and Field having refrained from the'inanguration services, pre.sumally because there was no wine, they are not to have \u20ac second opportunity of declining an invitation of the President.Hereafter no wine wili be served a4 State dinners, Tre Innzpazesisis Cassaanac, the Dona partist editor of the Paria Pays, who has been fired and imprisoned times without number for his rabid remarks concerning the public men of the Republic, ban again come to grief for the name offunce, being this time senteaoed to ten months\u2019 imprisonment and 3,000 francs fine, Casmagnac balougs to à by no means small class who do all in their power to make thomaelves notorious in order to be spoken and written abeut, made * martyrs\u201d of if need be, and the very worst way of treating them is that adopted by the French Government.Tug Painca or Wars is at present suffering from au abscess attributed to the effects of an injury received while hunting.Hisatirrup slipped, and a severe strain resulted.The aheoss was opened, the patient being under the in fluence of an anesthetic.Perfect relief ensued, aod the Prinoe is doing well, although sume time must elapes before the healing process ia com.Mete.\u2018The locale of the present injury in probably determined by the fact that induration\u2014 the result of fuflammation, which first appeared Mier the attack of typhoid fever to ho His Royal Highnees was

attention of the whole world, It was fonnled BC, 650, by Byzae, from whom .t obtained the uawe Byzantiom.Feo its fine harbor aa.l advantageous puition it son Erew to be of wreat commercial importance, and it obtained control of the corn traffic between the shores of the Euxine Sea and Urec:e and Egypt.Ite fisheries were of great value, and its wealth gained for it the name of Golden Hom.For nny years it was the ols.ject of dispute between the Lacedwmonians and Athenians, and was made memorable for having been the resting place for a short time of on their return march, When besioged by Philip of Macodn, Byzsntium'e cause was espoused by the Athenians, who were urged to its defence by the elwjuence of Demosthenes.Owing to their «forts, the riage was raised, and the Athenians were rewarded by being given tbe rights uf Byzantian citizenship.It was daring this siege that the city was saved (rom a surprise, which would, in all probability, resulted in} its capture, by a flash of light which illumined\u2019 the northern horizn, and betrayed the presence of the besiegers.In honor of this event, à \u2018 crescent was stamped on the Byzantine coins, - and on the taking of Constantinople by the Turks the municipal symbol was adopted by them aa their national device.Wars in which Byzantiom was concerned, closely followed each tian city, an inlet of th: Sea Xenophon and
