One of the first impressions which succeeded to the deep chagrin which took possession of our mind, when we read the dispatch announ cing the entire destruction of the Turkish Black Sea fleet, was admiration at the marvellous pro gress which has been made within the last quar ter of a century iu the rapid transmission of news. The great battle of Navarino was fought on the 20th day of October 1827, and the intel ligence was first published in the papers of this city about the 20th of December of the same year, that is to say, at least two whole months after the event. At that time, it was thought i c ii . i.' j ! . . i i . : .u .: ........... .... e " . ""-.' --v- proceeuea U, nen mere were .0 regu.ar r,vcw- ets, and the oldLners had not yet beer, dream- j edof, they certainly had. 1 ho contrast between the present method of sending news, and the ' ' ,. x- c . li. days ot Navarino, is far greater than between , 0 tne arrangemenrs ior cue same purpose 01 uiose f. . . ft . . days and the period ot the great continental wars. W e said yesterday, that we could see no nope i that France and England would interfere in the only manner in which intervention could be of any avail, to save the Turkish Empire from des truction. We would most cheerfully forego eve ry claim which wo may possibly establish to tho nM..,0 :,nd hnrmr f nrnrdiei mhl we see the slightest hope that our prediction would fail ttv f'ip (Trfinnil. linr, thus t:ir vr p (nn spa uniip nuarrel to the present hour, can we collect the slightest symptoms to indicate that Turkey will not be abandoned to her fate, as Poland was in 1831, and as Hungary was in 1819. Let any candid man review the circumstances, and we feel convinced that he will arrive at the same conclusion. The Governments of France and England have not'only wasted the whole year in the most ridiculous system of diplomacy that evvr disgraced any two nations affecting to be in dependent, and actually being powerful, but they have persisted in doing so, in spite of proof accumulated upon proof that their diplomacy -w-rtS of no (vYiil. A . -i7 ilwc ilicj Ijnve caused it to be proclaimed to the whole world, that they were the allies of Turkey, and that in the last resort they would step in to shield her from the rapacity of the Czar. The war com menced on the Danube, anL instead of sending assistance, they continued to-favor the Czar as much as they could, by continuing the same course of treating, sending notes, and making propositions, long. after they had learned that i Nicholas would listen to no terms ; that he would be Ratified with nothing less than the entire sub version of the Turkish Empire, and its annexa tion to his own overgrown dominions. As if to keep up the solemn farce which they were en icting.with the whole world for their audience, i they sent, at last, to the Bosphorus, a comianed I fleet which some of the Kiitrhsh nnner rn... sent.

Having en tiro command of the Black Seai they can land troops in the rear of the Turkish army which is fighting so gallantly upon the Danube, and thus force them not only to retire behind that river, but even to give up the passes of the Bal kan itself. The campaign of 1S28 was decided by tBe treacherous surrender of Varna, which lies on the Black. Sea, upon the left Sank of an army marching to Constantinople." Having unlimited command of men, the Caar can. land an overwhelming force ad niask Varna with a portion of them, : wbiU the reet march upon Constantinople.

In the course of time it became a eity of great wealth and power, and extended its authority b.y means of colonies over much of the adjacent country. It was of ten besieged by the Satrars who governed the province in which it is situated, in tho name of tho King 6f Persia, but always resisted them succensfully. It retained its character of im pregnability dluing the reign of Alexander's successors, until it was surprised by Plianiaces, the grand-father of Mithridates the (lieat. It thenceforth lost its pniiiical, though not its commercial importance, and became the resi dence of the Kings of Pontus, until it was ta ken by the Roman Consul Luculius. It had previously lost much of its trade, which Lad been dra,wn off by Byzantium and the cities ol the Taoric Chersonesus, (the Crimea.)

The only "Mary of Burgundy," of whom we have read, whose character presents any traits Ruflicientto redeem it from oblivion, was the daughterkif Cha'rlcs Y., who married, in 1548, Maximilian II , of Austria; to whose house the Duchy of Burgundy had previously become an nexed" by ,the marriage of another Mary with the first Maximilian. She was a woman of con- Biderable beauty and untarnished morals, al- most approcning to austerity out ot inveterate filio rlpniMid In Snnii. And withdrewtrt n nr-ant she deoarted to Spain and withdrew to a convent near Madrid, in which she died after several years of not inactive, seclusion. The remark of the Duke of Alba, .comparing the lady Of the American Minister, in a dress certainly anore modest than those of the Spanish dames whjoseicharms were more prodigally dis played to'the courtly assembly, can be constru ed, at worst, into nothing more than a charge of prudery or puritanical taste. A better ac quaintance with matters of history and biogra phy would have prevented the ridiculous and unseemly!fracasvhieh ensued. Bitter, indeed, must bo an insult sufficient to justify a blow giv en at a private soiree, or even in a public ball room; and for the credit of our country, we hope thatjthe Duke's observation was more dis paraging than report makes it, or rather, that the story, ;in all its details, is a hoax upon pub lic credulity,' - "'-, -"-"-' .

Oiiio, too, is practically an eastern 11 mmm State and although the agrarian principle is i less pitched upon that place because it is nut a very strong in that quarter, we believe that a Presidential appointment, requiring the con bill making a donation to all the States, on j urination of the Senate.

Mr. Bayly I equally true that they are in favor of the Home stead. There t-eems to be a prevalent iJea that the Homestead is the only reined' for the evil of land speculation which has grown up under tho locufoco policy of selling the lands in large bodies. The effect of the system is to make the rich richer, and the poor poorer, as well as to retard the growth and settlement of the new States ahd territories. Capitalists buy up the best lands in large bodies in fact by hundreds of thoufands of acres in a lump and keep them until settlements have b';cn made all around them, which of course enhances their price at the expense of the poor man who eventually be - comes the purchaser. This is fine fun for the monied aristocracy, but it is ruin to the people.

Bayly, of Virginia, who has hitherto been tho Jeader of thd democracy in the House, is now fairly in.tlie Opposition, and gallantly meets the 'C0j,ortll 0f tj, Executive upon almost every is sue that eomes up. A few days ago, he "spor ted his brief hour" on the floor in a way highly amusing and instructive. He kept up a running fire upon the flanks of his former friends and associates, which was galling and irrita t'ng. if not destructive. The subject before the House was the pro priety of making the place of Assistant Secre tary of tho Treasury a Presidential appoint ment! It now ranks as a subordinate clerk ship, jrhich is filled by the Secretary of the Treasury, without a ratification of the Senate ; 'whereas Presidential appointments require the advice and consent ofthat body. The office is one of1 high importance, since all the appoint ments made by the Secretary pass through the hands of the incumbent- In the hands of a ma lignant partizan it cpy become a potent engine of petty tyranny ; nnd if common report and common opinion can be relied upon, such is the use made of it by its preient holder, Peter O. Washington, who was displaced by Gen. Tay lor from the responsible post of Sixth Auditor of the Treasury, with the general applause of Whigs and Democrats in Washington. Washington is an active, intelligsnt and un scrupulous man, who has been bred up in official stations, and has lived his whole life upon the public treasury. The odious tyranny which he exercised as 0th Auditor rendered him so un popular, that he was refused admission into the Democratic Association at Washington during ! the last Presidential campaign ; and yet he un ! derstands pulling the wires so well, that he man j aged to foist himself into the important place of ' Assistant Secretary of the Treasury. He dwubt- lias brouglit forward the bill, making a change in the law to this effect, and he is sustained by all of every party who aro unwilling to see all power centralized in the hands of the Executive, without nny control from the co-ordinate bran ches of the Government. Mr. Bayly has displayed the true spirit in another matter. The librarian of the House of Representatives is a different officer from the librarian of Congress; The former has charge ! of the public documents, which have been bound np and filed away in a room convenient to the House, and ho receives his appointment from ! the Ch i k ot the House. The late incumbent ! was a Mr Parker, of Virginia, a constituent of ; Mr. Bayly's, and had the misfortune to incur the ; .1: ... i ...a? . t. ; .u.cabuie oi rorney, tne vierit. Forney alleges that lie was removed for neglect of duty last f;i!l ; but it is very singular that he should have been retained iu uffieo until after Mr. Forney was elected Clerk. Such, however, w the fact. : and it has given rise to the suspicion that his ! real motive was the desire of revenging himself 1 upon the Virginia delegation for voting against him. The removal of Parker, under the circum. : stance.', gave rise to, or rather confirmed, the ! general feeling of disgust which was felt for Forney. Mr. Bayly insisted, and justly, that the clerk of the House should have nothing to do with 'he librarian, and proposed accordingly that the librarian should be elected, as the clerk himself is, by the House. But immediate ly the cry was raised that the Administration was assailed through its faithful tool, and the proposi'ion was voted down by a small ma jority. Ye would respectfully ask, what has the ad ministration to do with the organization of the House of Representatives ? Is not that branch of the Government competent to the manage ment of its own affairs? And is not this an impudent stride of Executive power, which at tempts to thrust the creatures of the Executive upon the House of Representatives as spies? t&" The Eastern question has assumed an nsnnpr. -hirdi Lido f-y , i-ltc! 1 1 1 ,.i r .u ,i:. ... , . .. i J - nu oi i.ie i- forts of diplomacy to confine the war to the bel ligerent countries.
