_ Turkey is certainly less extensive than

users. but it possesses a population probably no snrsller than that of hoses. and peculiarly available for the

_ ulrsmsats of an array. As far. i . as any direct calculation can he ltaaardod on stich a sub- ject, there seems no reason why a force iiuineri- cally equal to that wliich Russia could_epare for operation in thus parts should not be producabls from -Tutiielt lovlso alone. as not been very

up to a very recent day, most have actually been the case since Omar Pasha’s army was usually represented as of about the same strength as Prince Gorteehalrofl"s. But, if l‘nrltey can sup- y.iusa. her ' can supply oflicere, Wll) should not the combined forces be s«.oii made a match for tho foreeso o Czar, without any ltosvy drains upon the home establishments of ritaia races 7 9 Of course, there would be some difficulty in thus combining Euro n with Asiatic eletrients nor would the operation exactlv rcseuible our own proceedings in Portugal. or Na olcon's arrange- ments in the Italian States. ut both French and English have had some experience in such tasttere. Algeria has taxed the wits of French ofl‘-era to- good purpose, and we ourselves main- tain is India an enormous force of Mahomaden soldiers disciplined under this very system. e have thousands of native otIicers—mon iriured to military service, desirous of military distinction. accustomed not only to command ltfurisulinaii sol- diers, but to obey Chrsiian superiors, and contented with comparatively small sclrnowldgeinents, both in pay and rank. Such men would be at least as much at home in Turkey as Cossacks and Cal- inucks, nor do we see why the resources of the British empire should not be turned to as good an effect as those of the Russian. If the Czar can drew his hordes of idolstere, clad in skins and armed with bows and arrows, from the wilds oi Tattary to the shores of the Mediterranean, we may surely do as iuuch with our well trained and well ordered armies of India. There would bi- little need of moving our Sepoy bataliaiis. A good draught of havildars and subahdars, with :- fevv of our Jacobs anti Beatsono and Christies at the head of thetn, wood soon turn 'l'urltisli recririts into soldiers fit for any field of battle. The origi— nal conquests of the Ottomans themselves were ell‘:-oted by.very similar agencieo.—'l‘liey conquer- ed Europe with European troops—witli levies im- ' pressed in these identical provinces trained in Ottoman usages, and led by Ottoman conimaiiders. It would be very desirable to sue the day when a 'l‘urkish division may be reconed as a matter oi course, a match for a Russian division ofeqoal ll|'~>l'Iglh; nor does tltere ecein much reason why luv u cotisutiimation should not be brought about. It is as much the duty of the allies to uti- lixti Turkish levies as tn strengthen 'I‘urlrtsli forti- fications, or avail themselves of Turkish positions If the raw materials of armies is to constitute, as see me like-ly, our chief want, and this row materi- al is supplied by Turkey, it would he the height of fully to neglect it. All that has been said and written about employing local forces in our colo- nics applies with still greater truth to the case bo- fore us especially as it is, Il)0\'P all iliiiigs, irn. portsnt that the barriers against Iinssiziii t‘llCl'tiClt merits in those parts should be establislicd not for the moment only, but for some time to come. It the 'I‘i_irltieh army had been what it may apparent ly be made, we should probably never have heard oftbe present war, and, if it can now be raised to this condition by better otgiiiizitioii, we shall l)r' relieved from many of our apprehensions for thr- future. That relative intr-ritory o llIllllal'y strength which has compelled the Sultan to invoke the aseitance of the western Powers arises, not front any numerical deficiency in the Ottoman levies, or an intrinsic weakness in the recruits themselves, but solely from the detriment occa- sioned by bad administration and imperfect disci- pline. 'I‘hst the Turks can fi;.-,lit has now been made plain, and surely men who can fight may be turned without much difficulty into soldiers. In the forthcoming campaigns we shall have the 0 tion oftwo plans. We me either treat thi- urltish army as of little account, and rely upon the British and French contingent: for the shock of battle, or we may endeavour to make the 'I‘urk- ish forces as steady and serviceable at our own The latter system will not only be more compli- mentary to our allies, but more advantageous to ourselves; rind, as it admits of being ut into execution without delay. and, according to all appearance, with good success, it is not unlikely to approve itselfto military authorities. What we want for the grapple with uaoia is inert, and it can hardly be advisable to continue sending these from Southampton to the Bosphorus while they exist ready made to our hands in the country itself.

KECHANISK V3. MANUAL LABOR.

If mechanism progresses as it has done for the last fifty years, operatives will scarcely he need ed in another century; seamsircsses may lllClI become as rare as Fence mermaids. .\la|e aml female artificere are likely to prove curiosities in future ages, like petrified trilobites, whose vege- table optics and leafy insndibles were once exer- cised in watching and securing sustenance beneath the ocean ere man was creat hysical agency. alas! owe lest important every day, and, ifthe earth is‘ found'to produce exhsuetlese treasures of gold, we may anticipate an entirely new revo- lution in human affairs; the days of Eden will be renewed; toil must terminate, and automatsn machinery rform the drudgery of slaves.

RRSUSCITATION OF POLAND.

It was announced at the meeting oftbe Literary Association of the Friends of Poland, which took place on their usual atiiiiversary, the 3rd of May- (the day mi which the last olish Constitution was proinulgaievi in 1791), that a Polish Legion would speedily be organised in the service of '|‘urkey, and th:tt5.000 stand of arms had been placed by the English Government at the disposal of Lord Raglan for the purpose. We do not hesitate to sav that in our opinion the Govern- ment liars taken no trieesure mum politic, or which gives more conviiicing proof that they are in earnest, than y seconding the formation of this legion. Not mi-rely will the blood of our own soldiers be spared, not only will the Porle obtain the assistance 0 ice who were pro- notiiiced by Napoleon himself to be let plus braves dec braves, but the ineie fact that the standard oftlie \Vliiie Eagle is displayed will do more to shake the ranks of Psskiewitcli than the nonilmrdrrient of Odessa. or the lati ing at Gallipoli. It i.~ stated, on highly credible autho- rity. that one third of the soldiers in the ussiun army are Poles. t is certain that all these inert,

If we inquire whose iiiult it isi at a measure at once so simple, so ‘ t3t't)nllllllC3l,Zlll(I so powerful, has been delayed untiltlic llu-ieiaiis are almost at the foot of the. Balkan. we are iolil that although the Ministers l of the Sultan ivcre fully impressed with its ini- poriztnce, and most anxious to adopt it, they were prevented from doing so by the advice of the English Ainbassador. who was unwilling to give airy cause of disquieiudo to Austria. In t is then, as in so niany other instances, the Courtttf Vicnna has done good service to that of St. Potersbiirg. In order to purchase the empty assent of the Emperor Francis Joseph to a judgment which he dares not assist in carrying into execution, all efficient measures for opposing the Russians in the field, and thus producing a speedy tertriiiirition to the war, were iicglerted or opposed. The factiliat the Government has at the elevr-.iiilr liotir afforded such offtcietit support tntlie Polish Legion is, however, a satisfactory pledge that this policy is at last to no laid aside It may be said that the Gcrriisii powers will resist the re-estalilisliiiicnt of Polaiid. liuttlio (ieritiaii princes have by their cozidtici line! all title to a voice in the question.

We learn from many reliable authorities that our rrogiinstieaiioris last Aurutn on the subject of the timber Trade, are, nottvltlistanding the high current prices. on the poiirt ol' being too generally tulfille-tl ——'l'lie unprecedeiited high prices paid for supplies and l.iliour have absorbed the greater part of the profits of the operatives: ivliile on account of the number of instances in which the fzirititers carried away their hay and oats for con- suiiipiiori in the woods, their stock at home have been left to perish. 'l'o add to this calamity, the Fresliet in the St. John River and its tributaries has arixen to a pitch which already has swept away vast quantities of boom poles, logs. and timber, in indiscriminate masses to the us.

Baiiv Snow IN t.‘srutm.—A correspondent of the Burlington Free Press gives an amusing account oftt baby show in liyiown, Canada, on the 2d inst. The prizes were $00 each to the tlireelargeet, fattest, and liandsoinest babies in the town of March. There were but two babies presented, one 16 and the other 17 months old, each of whom received a prize. After some appropriate speeches by the judges, one of the lricky niotliere inside the announcement that " she tvotild have another baby to shotv at the same time and place, next year, ifthcre was a premium to be giveii,” which caused rounds of applause.

STRONG IA!\’Gl'AGls2 rnoit A Loiuti. SUB.r5cr.— There is some excitement in Canada arising frotu 1| apt-och front the bench mode by Mr. Joe- y appointed by the

qucnce of the war. ’l‘lio Iiatomtier, or resident of the liar, suggested that the court s iould ad- ' urn. in observance of the day. The judge said that the army was it parcel of murderers ; for his part lio did not core which party got their throats cut, nnd he would never consent to an ndjourntnont to pray for such people. Mr. Bedwcll, it member of the bar, reiiiiirkcd that if the gallant soldiers who liiid gone out to

ti lit the just battles of their country were ,

murderers, then much more were their officers murderers, and the British Parliament on Ministers nlso,—nuy the Queen herself, who declared war was. it murdercss, and if so, to pray for their success was blasphemy.

Bizwitvct Suit» Ti.\tni=.it.-—This has hitherto been one ofthe most difficult and toilsoine kinds of work to which even slaves have been subjected. By late inventions liowcvcr, all the immense labor hitherto spent in rounding timber to suit ships, and houses, and machines, and furniture, and whatever other things require timber so curved, is now to be dispensed with b machines which can take the etatelicst and strnightest oak and hen it li ea Titan- how fortlie use oftbe roudest ma'n-of war or the lofliest cathedral, and this too adding strength and durability to the wood! The first experiment has just been made at Grcenpoint, New York, on timbers sixteen feet in length, eight inches by ten, bent to as shorts curve as cart be used in eliip- building. This machine is a large one, designed for ship timber, but there is another also ready for furniture, and both have just commenced operations. Hence- forward all the dlicate curves of steamers, ft-i ates or yachts, will be of solid timber, fee ioned by this extraordinary innovation.

Arrrcrii-i-ion.— To be vein or affected, because endowed with some degree of beauty. is a tacit acknowledgment that, from its over being upper- most in our thoughts. it is the greatest ornament of which we have to boast. llut it is not frilly to be proud ofso fleeting a possession, which in the coiiree of a few years, must be given up for the furrows and wrinkles of old age ; leaving us when too late to repoiit,thst we had not at s more early period endeavoured to acquire those mental ac- complishments which would have enlivened our youth. have heightened the charrue of maturity, and rendered our declining years dignified and resyccted. ' o bestow, therefore, more pains upon decorating the person than cultivating the mind, must surely appear impolitic in the highest ¢l€it|'°l: Illtco beauty, however iiriadorned, will alwajscharmzevery one will discover it, with- out out taking pains to reriderit conspicuous; whilst mental qualifications, like gold hid in the tnirte, can neither be seen nor admired till labour and indttstry have exposed them to our view. o those who can happily unite the possession of beauty, with the knowledge that it can afford no real ground for vanity or alfectation, it will be only seen to roduco a leasing cumplacenc’ i the features. totally distinct from every thing of self-adinirstion : while to those who are consider- ’ it as their great rocsutmendation, and possi- bly thinking they noed no other, it may. indeed, have something of the seine efi'eet ; but this corn- plaeency will be of no longer duration than while it is our the adoration due to such superior charms is duly paid; and than to minds vain on account of beauty, every attention paid to ano- ther, not perhaps equally favored, will be deemed a neglect of tltonrsolvoa.
