The Berlin Congress.

(From oue Loxdox Correspondent.) MASONIC CLUB, LONDON, July 18. THE DOWNFALLOF TURKEY.—ENG LAND'S NEW RESPONSIBILITIES. It was in the autumn or 1875, and out of a small dispute that arose between the tax farmers aud the Herzegovina peasantry, that the rising against Turkish rule in that province took place. From oue step to another it has dragged on, sometimes slowly, sometimes rapidly, and from an origia so a?>parently trivial immense results have sprung. The Treaty concluded last Saturday closes another chapter in the long aud interminable Eastern Question. The Treaty of Utrecht; was occasioned by a quarrel between the Duchess of Marl borough and Queen Anne about a pair of gloves" The Duchess of Marlborough spilling a basin of water on Mrs Maaham's gown °in the same reign brought in a Tory Ministry and gave a new turn to the affairs of Europe. If the corrupt and obstinate Pashas and the stupid Sultan who ruled in Turkey four years ago had had a true appreciation of the position, they might have easily appeased the in surgents, who declared, when they met the English Consuls and the representatives of the Austrian Government, that they did not wish to free themseves from the authority of the Porte. All they asked ■was that the men. who were sent to govern the province should be Honest and just in their dealings. Thefailuie to satisfy the reasonable demands of these -wretched peasants has brought about the end. Turkey is still left a nominal Power in Europe, but she is shorn of many of her provinces, and the Pashas, whose cupidity and ignorance hastened these results," are deprived of much of their in fluence and income, and will shortly lose more if they be not turned out neck and crop as they richly deserve. The Pashas are like King David's " green bay tree. "I passed by and Io ! they were gone," and their place is occupied by England, who now takes upon herself the responsibility, moral as well as military, of the whole of the old Bibiical World. Surely we have an awful responsibility for good or evil. Amongst our fellow subjects we may now number the dwellers in " Mesopotamia, Judsea, and Cappadocia, Pontus and Asia, Phrygia, and Pamphilia, in Egypt, and in parts of Libya, about Cyrene, Cretes, and Arabians." We virtually have included, •under the Sceptre of Victoria, all the world known to the Old Testament writers, saving, of course, the sentimental rights belonging in Syria and Egypt to France. Our duties will now be to see to the good government of the inhabitants of these countries, which are amongst the richest in soil and mineral resources, as well as amongst the most healthy in the world, your own balmy North Island not excepted. THE RECEPTION OF THE EARL OF BEACONSFIELD. The reception of the Earl of Beaconsfield the day before yesterday must have been most gratifying to hi 3 Lordship's feelings. At Dover he met with a hearty welcome, but at the Charing Cross Station the scene was most impressive. On the platform he received the swell section of his admirers, ■whilst the general public welcomed him in the streets. There was no comparison between the numbers assembled on Tuesday and those that turned out to meet Garibaldi •whea he came from Southampton, or Kos suth when he went to Copenhagen Fields. But still there was a vast concourse of people who had assembled at 4S honrs' notice. The crowd was- sympathetic and cordial, but at the point where I stood, not specially demonstrative. I understand that at other points of the journey the popular enthusiasm assumed a more expressive character than it did at the spot from which I viewed the spectacle. The Prime Minister looked extremely unwell I thought. His appearance was very different to what it was when I saw him on the Saturday he left Charing Cross for Berlin. It is manifest that his month's labour in the German capital has told upon his health whatever it may have XBOUerUpmx-llter-trjrUltns.- --3E-m-U .1 -I 1- i— the crowd on purpose to hear any ex pressions of opinion that might escape. I heard one man declare the Premier to be " a charlatan," and another gave him the very impolite name of " a Hebrew mounte bank." Those who made these remarks ■were not workmen, but, from their dress, manner, and conversation, manifestly members of the middle class. On the other hand, I heard plenty of complimen tary observation?, none of them having referente to the political principles of the Premier, but all bearing on his personal character. One gentlemen I heard expatiating to a small and admiring auditory upon the valour with which the Earl had stood up for the cause of Freedom " against Russian despotism." He closed a short but rather clap-trap speech by saying that he was an old Radical, a friend of Fergus O'Connor, and that he never thought to live to become a panegyrist of a Tory. His own political party, however, had gone over to ■.Russia, and there was nothing for him buc to support the Conservative Ministry, an his creed always had been hatred of despotism and fiatred of Russia as the embodiment of that political principle. Several working men I heard speak approvingly of the " plucky old man" who had bearded the Russians at Berlin, and fought for "English interests." Others were commenting on the courage he had displayed in taking Cyprus and "under taking to protoct the Turks against the Muscovites." So you see how very little the general public understand of " the situation." I gathered generally that the crowd approved of the course adopted by the Prime Minister, more from a general belief that he had acted a courageous and independent part than from any special sympathy with the principles he advanced. Of course, the Conservatives are on the high horse over all this.

WHY DO YOU LADIES so often say to your husbands " How stupid you are."

It is only ten weeks since 1 bought 77 dozen, and new I hays iust bought the balance—namely, 1(K? dozen more.
