THE CALIPH OF ISLAM.

H f * 1 » . ■ ~~j : > i> :*4 ■:<:■ y-■ £ ' Nere is a Sultan of Turkey ; there - Is a Caliph of Islam. iSilttap, of ' v Turkey Is not necessamy Caliph of Islam, although he has been since, 350 : years ago, Sultan Selim I. ’ yield to him that title. From that time the Caliph, or spiritual'K6id3 of all Islam, has not been of the family of Mahommed, of the tribe of Koreishy nor even of Arab descent. He has been a Turk, and has held the title of Caliph simply by right of force.. Be cause he possessed, as Sultan of’Tur-' key, the highest civil, power' in , tfie. Mohammedan VcSicl tarf’lMrV Islam. i/'T'' Europe Ever since the Crimean war this has been confessed. Even lately a single abort the larger part of what wScSStonean Turkey from the jKdd oj J^fflw^ r~Tf%ng land thlfr. hand,\Russia would a year seize. Tiiii I mrtllMpli olj .111 11 1111 ,'~Tiil! drive Sultan Hamid to Mecqa. Eut Mecca would not man who could not maintain his power, as Sultan. Already it is England that" maintains thg rConstaatfltA nopie. But for England Arabi would have-been-roaster- of-Egypt, and soon after recognised Caliph ; for, though Hamid gave him qualified and diplo matic'aid, as a Moslem fighting the infidel, yet Hamid well knew that Arabi, victorious and powerful, would as CMtainly A supplamt hin* as $e Hqad of< Islam as would Mahommed AH have done it but for European intervention. Then Europe decided who should be Caliph, and Europe (&feQo)|r) TH& does not satisfy the 'Mahommedans of Egypt, Tunis, Arabia, scarcely ofcifpjg, , key. It is as if China and Japan were to settle who should }&P3£e s&Rgjhe../ Pan-Islam knows that Turkey is weak, and that Hamid is Caliph grace of Allah, but by the grace of the Giaour. Pan-Islam feels the humilia~ tion, an Mecca, who is of the lineage of the v®pJR <Uim: the title, would be gladly recognised a§_ the spiritual head of the Moslem world. It is only lately -sh?t Ttbii 'lih^ree^was^

deposed by the Turk aspired to be Caliph, and another was. put in his place. The Turk is not loved, by the Arab. GiWtfed Arab^fch&to? ’ and be would be free from the Turk. -

But Sultan Han>j^-^p|^o.niLwith’ great tenacity to his religious power. Unlike Abdul Aziz, he is a pious Mos lem ang[ JSfeajhibjre tha& Sultan. It is not his ambition to make Turkey great and prosperous, but to* see Pan-Islam successful ¥£atfrsT ;] «ie’ infidel, if not by war, then by diplo macy. Hence the ipnTunrs; / jn r . Egypt, in India. Hence he sits in his . palace and dreams of the victories of the Faith of the Prophet. JMrowjrfW' , there are no reforms in Tufkey; no be liever is punished that murders! Christian; _■ new fanaticisms and out breaks against Christians are encour .. aged; Christian churches can get no firmans; Christian books can scarcely be printed even in a Christian language; • no Mussulman would now da°<» ad jure his faith; and the counsellors of the' Sultan are not the ministers of the F(3te, bfit the* astrol&gers, and the holy men of the palace.

■The Company is proposed to be formed for the purpose of purchasing the pro- : perty and business of the Lion Brewery Company in Ashburton. . The very extensive agricultural district, in the centre of which the town of Ash burton is situated, is one in which A very large private as well as hotel trade is carried ;on, and the facilities for brewing all that could bo wished, and the water of better- quality for the purpose ’ than o»n be found: elsewhere in the Province of : (Canterbury. The.Lionßrewery is situated on T.S. 366 and 367, ah the corner of Dobson and- Cass, streets. The building ;ia of brick, with cellar, which , can be Extended underground at a very; small cost, and is. quite new;, having been erected about twelve months. , j ,',The Building and Plant is ', all of first class quality, well arranged very com plete, and with the connection already established it is anticipated that there will be no difficulty in extending the business, with the influence of : the Company and capital, throughout Canterbury, hut, particularly throughout the Ashburton County. The success which has attended the BrdWefy Companies in every part of the world offers great, inducement to capitalists and investors to take up shares in Companies of this description, and the promoters fhave the greatest confidence in the success.of the proposed Company, and have agreed to take One Thousand Pounds’ worth of fully paid up shares should the Company desire them to do so. ; It is further proposed to obtain the ser vices of a first-class brewer, to ensure a. large and profitable trade being done. Although the nominal capital of the Company is £20,000,’ a 'comparatively small sum is required to purchase the pre sent premises and’ plant of the Lion ferewery, = viz., £3,000, the stock being taken at a valuation. . . The increased Capital is required to .ex tend the present premises And business, and also to erect a malthouse. It ;is be lieved that malting will bo a very ’ profit able branch bf the Company’s business, owing to the 'quantity of barley grown, in' the immediate district. ’ It is proposed to issue 2,000 shares only at present, but it will be left to the dis cretion of the Provisional Directors to issue as many shares as they think; desir able. “It proposed to call up £2 per share, as required, in calls of not more than 10s per sljare,jind .At intervals, after the allot-. ment, of not less than three months. The remaining shares will be issued to the publio (preference being given to existing shareholders) as the requirements pf the Company develope, and it is confi dently believed that a substantial premium Will be obtained on them, as in the case of bther Brewery Companies, such premiums to be placed to a reserve fund, and there by strengthen sshe position of jfche.
