TcaiiT Revolutionized. An intelligent correspondent ot the Jouraal ol uommeroe, writiaw from London, sketches tho "move. ment"of tho time in various parts of Europe and that of Turkey in particular he presents ta the following Interesting light. This is indeed. revolution, though bloodless and tranquil: The Pope having entered the lists as a re. forsMr will not surssin vou more than to find tfcattte Oiarf TarklBM done the same For the first time ia the annals of his dynas. ty, the Sultan of Turkey baa paid a visit to his Asiatio domiaioas, and on his return re. ccived the congratulations of the Embassa dors to the Porte; Thui is tbo first instance on record of the carjm diplomatique having had an audience en matte with tho Imperial Sovereign of Turkey; and by way of show, ing still farther innovation, his Majesty re ceived their Excellencies in tho state-room, to which they were ushered, and remained standing during the whole of their visit. Education is to proceed in Turkey with giant strides. 20,000 schools aro to be es tablished forthwith '.brougbout the country, and aaornal schejUbr teachers is to Jwia sOtitted at Csr-umtiaople, under Emir Pacha who wu educated at the English University ot -vaaierwge, -where ao'ioor'-nt tor mathematics aud classics, Another circumstance without precedent in modern history, is the fact that the Sultan on his return from his tour, went to tho Sub. lime Forte and mado a report to the Vizier, as to the condition of tho provinces ho had visited, issuing orders for their future better government. Among other things he declar. cd that he had abolished all custom duties at Adrianople, Brausta, Konian and Tokat, and then went on in tho following free trade style : "As it has been acknowledged at all times A New Planet. A French Philosopher, Mr. Leverrier, at the meeting of the Paris Academy of Sciences on the 30th of June, read a paper which attracted a great deal of attention. It related to nothins? less than a new world which ho affirmed he bad diseor.- ered. Ho said there existed in the celestial space a planet which nobody had yet see,' not even hinvtelf, but tho existenco of which ho could di t castrate. "It was in tbo depth Of his study," says tho French paper from vftich wo translate, "without opening bis wiBdow, by a combination of figures and Use I MJ Wl UOTCIIIt'f UiasVTUfVU allfj UMUtCb rnjatsdred WmiSm. It remains' for the as- troaomer to verify this calculation by actu al a'bservation with instruments. lr. Lev. errier is not.uncasy as to the results of this proof; he indicates tho region of the heavens to whjch observers must direct their glasses, and the precise moment when the star will pass them, i. e. the first of June, 1847." -The writer goes on to state the circum stances which led theSavan to his important discovery, if such it be. It seems that cer talajrregular movements in the planet Ura nus have long been the despair of aatroao-' mars'. While the other stars move in the 3 'it orderly manner in their appointed pUu , this distant member of the solar ayssaw attimes plays the most aaaoeowrtaMe pranks. Seme have imaated these to arma-fa tha ing collected au necessary intormauoo on the subject, that henceforth all duties of the kind, affecting the City of Constantinople. shall bo entirely abrogated, and that this act shall como into effect from the date of the 1st day of ne.t March." Tho Imperial Solvman, you will pcroeive is becoming u good Cobdcnito, and now' ho has only to give a cheap postage, to aid him in carrying out his reforms and rendering them effective. There is ono point mora ih tho character of this reforming Moslem which will entitle him to and secure for him tho gratitude of tho wholo Christian world. Youhavo alrca. dy had some powerful details in your col. umns of tho persecutions of tho Armenian I'rotcstants, and all that thoy have suffered from the excommunication of their bishops. A Vizcrial loiter to the Paoha of Erzoroum says that tho Protestant faith has spread in some degree among tho Armenians partic ularly at Constantinople. They havo been anothomatized by tho Patriarch, and thcro. by injured in their trado and business, and obligod to close thoir shops. I ho Sultan had forbidden tho primate to act at Constantinople, and thosamolaw must bo enforced at Erzoroum. Tho Armenian primates uro "not to bo suffered in any way to pcrscuute or intonoro with the converts when engaged in their trades and commerce. His Excollcncy is finally ordered "to protect and defend them." Tho Morning Chronicle correspondent ut Constantinople, in his last despatch, emphat ically states that "Protestantism is now plant. ed In the OttomanlBmaire. and it is nv be: lief that It will strike itsfeotsdeeo and snread j them wide."

But Mr. Leverrier says that neither of these conjectures is right; but that Uranus is exposed to the eaeeta of another planet not yet revealed to sM. This is beyond Uranus at double the distance of that planet from the sun. Mr. Leverrier professes to be ablo to prove this by the most unquestionable mathematics. isaaas) ' fka Ws AslaWV 3rrJ ilifir yiui' im aaawry of the At- VAsvwassjsjT i.
