The following abstract of the steret correspon dence between the Emperor of Kusin and llie British Government relative to the partition of Turkey we extract from the Philadelphia Ledger: One of the most remarkable and inieresting revelations made in reference to the affairs of the East, is that contained in the secret correspondence between the Emperor of Russia and the Govern ment of Great Britain, relative to the sifTiirsof the East, the position of Turkey, its probuble dissolu tion, and its partition between Russia and Great Britain. In 1844, it appears that Count Nessel rode drew up a memorandum, laying down the principles which should govern Great Britain and Russia in their conduct towards l urkey. I bey were to maintain the independence of that country, 1 and her existing territorial poaseesiofts ; mu not in allow thft Porte to nl:iv oil' the dlfl'tr ni States of Europe against one other, but to maintain, as ! far as possible, tlie unanimity ol Ihe representatives of the foreign powers, without assuming the cbarae- ter of exclusive ascendancy. For nearly ten years these principles were observed, but in January, 1853, the Czar intimated to Sir G. II. Seymour his conviction that Turkey was on Ihe verge ol ruin, and it wjs verv important that England ami Rusia should come to a perfectly good under- , Dockr-ry, and did mote to swell bis majority in standing on these tgtHrs, tad that neither should I Count t,,an oy olber nn. ,. was a lake any decisive step ul which the other is not j . apprized.

These disclosures were replied lo by Lord Cla rendon, who said that the British Government would adher to the principles in L rd John Rus sell's despatch ; that England wuuwd no tenilurial aggrandisement, and could not be u party to a previous arrangement from which she was to de rire no benefit. No secret understanding could be had which could be kept secret. This would be the signal for preparation for intrigues of every description, and for revolts among the Christian subjects ol the l'orte. Each pow er and each party would endeavor to si cure its luture interests, and the dissolution of the Turkish empire would be preceded by a state of anarchy which must ag gravate every thfiicully, if it did not render a peace ful solution of the quesuou impossible. The Em peror, subsequently to the reception of this des patch, said that he Ml ihe two Courts clearly un derstood each oilier, and that there was nothing he relied so confidently upon as the "word of a gentleman." He was disposed lo act upon this system; with the clear understanding, however, that tlie same rule ol conduct tdiail be observed without distinction, and unanimously, by each ol the grat Powers, and that none of them shall take advantage of the weakm ss of ihe Porte to obtain from it concessions which might turn to the prejudice of the olhers.

CHARLOTTE : FRIDAY MORNING, April 14, 1851. otii may. We understand that the Committee of Arrange ments to whom was entrusted the preliminaries of the proposed celebration, have agreed to postpone it until the completion of the Central and Atlantic Rail Roads. They desire lo have a grand affair in which all the citizens ol the State niay partici pate, which they cannot conveniently do in the present unfinished state ol our improvements. IIF' There is an article in the 1 Whig' of April 4th, endorsing the nomination by " Mecklenburg" of Mr. W. W. Elms, for Senator from this county. As we are well acquainted with Mr. E's. antece dent?, if not from " the time whereof the memory of man runneth not to the contrary,'' at hast suf ficiently far back to identify him with the great Southern Rights Democratic party, we desire to put " Distribution " right in some particulars.

He was a warm and zealous supporter of the Hon. G. W. Caldwell, in the canvass between him and (Jen. Mr. E. did more to persuade him out than any other Democrat in the District. Mr. Elms is opposed to a United States Bank, Tariff lor protection, and ihe distribution of the Free SiifTraffe. 1 " liiSt u '" m a short article on free lur mc l'u'" "-pI ui' Prij streiigm, why did not more of ihe li hiss come to our aid and pass it, thus making it an " obsolete issue." That would have spiked our cannon, in a way that would have been very gratifying to a largr majority of the voters of the State. The Democrats are sincere m their desire to rflVcl this Constitutional change. It is a stain upon our fundamental law, and as long as it re mains there, all men are not equal at the ballot-box. We return our thanks to Sprstt, Daniel fc Co., for one of IWbe's best mole-skin hats. to the liberality of this popular and ge nerous firm we are under obligations for many handsome and acceptable presents. Mr. Spratt, the senior part ner, spent a long time this season in lhe Northern Cities seh cting their Spring supplies, and never hace we seen mors beautiful, tasty, andtkganl Dress Goods both lor Ladies and Gentlemen.

Agricultural Society. The Mecklenburg Agricultural Society held a regular meelir.g here on Saturday, April 8th. j There was a very respectable attendance, and a : good deal of intert st manifested. A new day has dawned upon our county. The farmer infused j with the spirit of progress is awake to the impor tance of an improved system of agriculture. Al ready is it effects seen and appreciated. Hereto- j fore the siimulus was wanted. Remote from market, the generous soil yielded sufficient for the wants ol the tiller, and the surplus remained on his hands, scarcely worth the expense of car nage now the steam engine is heard to whistle, disturbing tht solitude that reiirnd over our b'Us and valleys 6incc chaos first rcsignt d his enipirage over the promiscuous element, and activity and life, tnterprbe and thrift, has usurped the place of sloth and idleness. Onward and still on goes the car of improvement, developing our natural re- j sources until Carolina at no distant day will stis tain upon her fruitful bosom a dense a hd highly prosperous population. We regret we could not be present at the meeting. An interesting add res ; was delivered by the Bev. II. B. Cunningham, a gentleman who unites the scholar and pious divine j with the practical and scientific agriculturist. A. j B. Davidson read a sound and well digested es say upon deep pfowing that is a subject which we are glad that sc good and successful a farmer presented to lhe attention of the meeting; his experiments were highly satisfactory and its util ity demonstrated. G. n. J, A. Young, a lengthy essay upon wool growing a subject also lhal should attract ihe uttention of our farmers. We hope these gentlemen will prepare their addiesses for the press. The Society ujbant 1 mously resolved to oiler premiums at its next an nual im-eling. V. C. Barringer and J. M. Doby, j Esqs , were appointed to deliver addresses at the next meeting. We would say a word to our merchants and bu sinesa men about town on the propriety of at once joining thi9 Association. The Society is yet in j ils infancy, and they should lend it a (lei ping j hand. Make it popular and assist to diffuse use- ( ful knowledge upon agricultural subjects and the county will prosper and with it our own beautiful j town. Tlie merchant is dependent apon the j farmer, the more he makes the more he can buy. As agricultural science advances, production in creases, lit nds rise in value, population becomes more dense, more wants have to be supplied, and j with greater ability upon lhe part of the pro- ducer to indulge in the comforts and elegancies of life. The Society will hold its next annual meeting on the 2d Thursday in July, at which time ve hope to see a full attendance and many names be enrolled. OCT Five miles of the Charlotte & Taylorsvide Plank Road is now completed in the direction of Davidson College, with about one mile above Mr. John It. Alexander's, making six miles finished. For the last two or three months, four miles of the Road have been under tolls and yield to the stock holders an average of 15 yver cent, per annum on the cost of construction. This guarantees a handsome return in profits to those public spirited citizens who generously came forward, secured the charter and are now pushing forward the work to completion. The five miles next to town now under tolls are passed over by the travelling public, who express themselves highly gratified at the facilities of trav. elling and the low rales established by tho Com pany. We ihink this experiment demonstrates the act that Plank Roads are not only highly use ful as market roads, and benificial to the country through which they pass, but ofTer inducements to capitalists as a profitable investment We hope at no distant period to see this Road conti nued on to Taylorsville. It would be a source of great benefit to the commercial interests of out growing town. This is the natural outlet for all the productions of that rich region, and if the fa cilities which the extension of this Road offers is afforded, ii will as surely come here as water seeks its level. Mr. Johnston, the President of this Road de serves great credit for the energy and judgment with w hich he has pushed forward this work. Drowned. We understand a young man named Alfred Ramsey, was drowned some days since in attempt ing to cross the Catawba River at Rozzell's Fer ry in a canoe, while intoxicated. His body has since been r- covered and decently interred ; the jury of inquest rendered a verdict in accordance with lhe above facta. The parents of tho de ceased reside in Cherokee countv, Georgia. 0O We return our thanks our attentive Repre sentative in Congress, thu Hon. Burton Craige, for a copy of the Census Report of 1850, and other valuably Pub. Docs. A. Bethuoe, whose reputation as an ex- j peru-nced artist is well known to our county, has 1 again resumed the boards, nnd desires the patron age of his former friends, promising to give them ' " V.s," as he has done in former times. See his ; advertisement. 0O A good Mantua. making nnd Millinery Es tablishment has long been a desideratum to the town, and we are glad to see that Mrs. Shaw has attempted to supply it.

Tlin annual meeting of said Society was held the 18th of February, in the town of Dallas. A very able and appropriate anniversary Sermon was preached by the Rev. R. H. Morrison, D. Dr from ths 10th and 11th verses of the 55th chapter of Isaiah. The meeting was then called to order by the President. The proceedings of the last annual meeting were read by the Secretary. 'I he following Resolutions were adopted : Resolved, 1st, That the Executive Committee employ an agent or agents to travel over this County and enquire, what number of families are destitute of the Bible and supply them with it. Rtsolved,2nd, That the Executive Committee, if they think it advisable, may divide the County into 3 Districts and employ an agent for each District ; The 1st to embrace that partttatl of the South Fork ; the 2nd, that part bt tween the South Fork and the Yorkville Road; the 3rd, that part west of said road. Resolved, 3rd, That the agent or agents be di reoted to call on the different School committees, to enquire what families are destitute, but not to stop until he is satisfied that every family is sup plied.

The Secretary read the proceedings, after w hich the meeting was closed with prayer by the Presi dent, and adjourned. 1. IT. HOLLAND, Sec. Mil. Henry Pierce. Among all the charges that have been brought by a reckless and unscru pulous opposition against the present administra tion, that of nepotism, or favoritism lo relations, cannot certainly be preferred, as mil be apparent front the following incident: One d.iy last week, says the Boston Times, a number of worthy and substantial farmers and drovers who had been attendinij the Cambridge Cattle Market, congregated in the temporary depot at Porter's Station, and the conversation turned on politics. Some of the assembly were either Whigs or Free-soilers, and the way lhe Nebraska Bill, the President, Judge Douglas, etc., were handled was a caution to the friends of non-intervention. Presently, a sturdy -looking farmer with a clear pair of eyes and an honest face, put a question to the most violent of the decfaimers an out-and-out Abolitionist which immediately attracted the attention of the whole company to himself. The conversation ;hen proceeded, but had not pro gressed very far before the sophistries of the Abolitionists were exposed and refuted by the plain common sense arguments of the farmer. This was acknowledged on ail sides, except, of course, by his opponent ; and, satisfied with his victory, the farmer modestly retired from the place, leaving the company at liberty to scan his arguments and guess about himself at their leisure. "He talked like a book," srsid one. "Yes I hardly thought he was so well posted up." said another. "He looked rough, but talked like a lawyer," observed a third. "But who is he ?" was the question now generally put. At this moment, Murray, the depot master, who had been quietly listening to their spccnla'iuns, stepped forward, and in his quiet and peculiar way, said: "Gentlemen, that is Mr. Henry Pierce, of Hillsborough County, New Hampshire brother of the President of the United Slates.1" Am! that was true. We learn that Mr. Pierce regularly attends the Cambridge Cattle Market every week, with some ol the products of his fine farm in New Hampshire, and is everywhere es teemed as an honest, high-minded, intelligent and patriotic American citizen. What an interesting spectacle does this present ? Here was the brother ol the Chief Magistrate of one of the greatest na tions on the face of the globe a person qualified to fill many responsible posts, yielding handsome pecuniary emoluments pursuing .he hard and humble but ennobling palling of an American farmer, while a word from his brother in office could place him where his purse might be- easily and lawfully gorged with the glittering cosh of the public treasury. This is one among tho many instances of the single heartetlness and unselfish ness of lhe present President of the United States Franklin Piekck ! " Do you see any thing ridiculous in this wig ?" paid a brother Judge 10 Curran. M Nothing but the head," he replied. Prof. Agnssiz, in a recent lecture before the Lowell Institute, in IJ ion, slated his belief that the bu uan nice xisted on the glob a hundred and iiitv thousand yean nn. Arrival of lhe Enropa. New Yoek, April 8. The steamship Europa arrived this afternoon at 4 o'clock, with Liverpool dates to the 25th of March. The Liverpool cotton market was dull and prices had declined an eighth to a quarter. The sales of the week were 32,000 bales. The decline in cotton was principally in the lower grades. Th quotations are : fair Orleans 61 ; middling 5 ; fair Mobile and uplands G ; middling 5. The stock on hand was 050,000 knl,n I.1 , ...iti ear lnu or inrl en Ipu nf unit a. nuoiii vi H3 onu 7 - Common at 5 a 5. 10. nice was in limited de mand : inferior Carolina 15 a 16s. The London markets were dull and quotations generally had declined The quotation lor Consols At Havre, on the 22d, cotton Lad advanced If; sales of the week, 6,000 bales. Wheat had declined 6d during the week. Flour had declined 2s. Corn was unsaleable at 39s. Provisions were active. The Czar's reply had not been received, and the aspect of things was unchanged. The export of gold from England is not quite so heavy. The rate of Bank interest is unchan ged. The London Globe says that Russia has recog nised the neutrality of Sweden. The Prussian Chambers earnestly recommend to the Govern ment lo act with the Western Powers, but the Government hole back. Austria ostensibly acts with the Western Powers, but not decisively. There is nothing further from Asia or Kala'at. The fleets remain as previously. There has been no written refusal received from the Czar. It is supposed he wjli not send a cate gorical answer, but will accept war if offered. The Greek insurrection is dying out. The Cambria sailed on the 25ih for Kingston to ship more troops. The Tenetiffe has sailed with part of a regiment for Malta. The subscripiions to tho French loan of 250, 000,000 francs amounted to four hundred millions. The French funds had largely declined. A collision had occurred in the English channel between the American ship Ann Kenible and the bark Bonita of Liverpool, by which the latter w as sunk and eleven lives lost. The ship wasconsiu erably damaged. Ax Unhealthy Towx. The town of New Bedford, (Massachusetts,) like other towns of that State, has to submit to the law pndiibiting the sale of ardent spirits, except as medicine, by a person appointed by law for the purpose. This agent is required to make a quarterly report of tho amount he buys and sells. II is last report .shows a sile of 1,788 gallons w ithin three months. This fact does not present a very flattering testi mony to the healthiness of " Nrw Bedford. By reducing the number of gallons of " medicine " sold into dosses of reasonable magnitude, it will appear that between one and two hundred thou sand portions must have been prescribed during the period mentioned. A New Coin for California. Mr, Gwin of California, has introduced into the Senate a beau ti.'ul and national idea relative to a large denomi nation of gold coin, viz: that Congress shall authorise a single coin worth $100 (o be called a " Union ;" 50 to be called a " Half Union." This is to supply the wants of the Pacific States, where paper money Is not tolerated, and whore, to facilitate the counting and passing of h?nvy sums of money, the large denomination is net tied. The Secretary of tho Treasury recommends that " Half Union " only be struck for the present. Rk-orcination of the Whig Party. It is stated that a movement is on foot at V ashtngton to reorganize the Whig party, and to urge the name of the Hon. John Bell, of Tennessee, as a candi date for the next Presidency. Other names, how ever, are mentioned, and among the most promi nent are Millard Fillmore, of New York, Edward Everett, of Massachusetts, and John J. Crittenden, of Kentucky. John Mitchell and the Irish. The " Citi zen " publishes editorially what it calls "A Let ter to the Survivors ol the Irish in Ireland under forty years of ag', signed by Juhn Mitchell." The pith of this letter is, that all patriotic Irish men, ought to withhold their sympathies from Great Britain in the war with Russia ; that ii Austria and Prussia range th msclves against the red cross of St. George, Irishmen ought to pray for the success ol their arms. Tho Japanese have t custom which, taking the ! place of our duel, we very greatly prefer to our mode of avenging insult and proving our honor. Pronounce a gentleman in Japan a liar, a coward, or no gentleman , and he instantly whips out a knife, rips up his own bowels, handing the weapon to his antagonist, who must do the same thing. This is lhe invariable course of quarrel in Japan, and the instance is scarcely known in which both parties have not fallen in the vindication of their honor, when the quarrel reach the rash word, which by our code goes only to a chal lenge. Hon. Thomas F. Marshall, of Kentucky, who made such a sensation twelve years ago as a tem perance lecturer, has again become a sottish drun kard. It is said that Sir Charles Napier told someone on the night of the reform dinner, that in three weeks from that date he " would either be in St. Petersburg o in heaven."
