WEDNESDAY, FEBRCARf 6, 18G7. "The Sick Man of Europe." The failure of the Forte to crush a handlut of Christians at Crete, and the fact that the rebellion, at first commencing with a war cloud the size of a man's hand, Is rapidly spreading throughout all of the islands of the Archipelago, And will probably exiend through many of the Inland provinces of the Empire, have directed attention once more to the piospects of the Ottoman power. Fifty years ago Henry Ilallam wrote : "In the present day we anticipate, with an assu rance which none can deem extravagant, the approaching subversion of the Ottoman power; but the signs of Internal weakness have not yet been confirmed by the dis memberment ot provinces ; and the arch of dominion that long since has seemed nodding to its fall, and totters at every blast from the north, still rests upon the landmarks ot ancient conquest, and spans the ample regions from Bagdad to Belgrade." For half a century this Government, whose fall was anticipated so long ago, has held together by the force of cohesion, and it seems reserved for the middle of the nine teenth century to witness its overthrow. So for as Turkey is concerned, it would, indeed, seem that history repeats itself. The records of the Mahommedan power divide themselves into two distinct periods, which are strikingly analogous to each other. From the death of the Prophet, early in the seventh century, to the commencement of the lour tee nth, is the first era, characterized by wonderful vitality in the beginning, with a remarkable development ot energy and courage as the introduction. This cycle of conquest was followed by a stagnation, in which the Empire seemed colossal, and was preparing for other and for greater glories. And when all Europe was trembling at its power and fearing an invasion, this mighty structure crumbled to atoms with a rapidity without precedent, so that, while Christendom yet gazed with awe' on the pile, it sunk out of sight, like one of those magical transformations with which Oriental tales abound. , Province after province fell off, and of the vast Empire nothing was left but the capital of the bultans of Gazna. v With the irruption of a new tribe of Tartary began the second era of the Porte. Once more was it renowned for conquest, tor courage and ability. Once more it rose in power to be among the great nations of the earth. Then came the same period of stagna tion a period which Ilallam anticipated would have ended half a century ago . The sign ot decay was to be the dismemberment of provinces, and until the present day no symptom of dissolution was apparent. The insurrection in Crete is the first determined attempt to which there seemed to be a pros pect of success. If the Christian Eebels suc ceed, their example will be followed by other and more powerful principalities which now own the Sultan's power. We will see the Porte once more fall into atoms ; and once destroyed, no tribe ot barbarians can appear to re-erect the edifice of superstition and sen sualism. Under such circumstances, a double argu ment in favor of aiding the Cretans is laid before all Christian nations. Not only does their heroism, the oppressions to which they have been subjected, and the common cause of re ligion, call on us to give them actual assistance but the fact that, by securing them victory, we are tending to overthrow the great bulwark of opposition to Christianity, demands that we supply them with the means of continuing the struggle. From the days of Ilallam until now, the '"sick man of Europe" has occupied theattention ol the other great powers. With an aspiring rival in - the north, and with enemies in its own provinces, while Greece stands filled with hatred to the West, it has only been the Interference of the still more western Governments that has saved the Sul tan from destruction. That Russia still views with ill-concealed longing the fair plains now held by the Porte, is attested by the fair in aid of the Cretans, at St. Petersburg, over which the two brothers of the Czar presided ; and that but a fitting opportunity is needed to secure intervention none can doubt. The case of ''the sick man" is indeed critical, and will shortly be settled we anticipate by the invalid's death. That the prospects of war are growing day by day more, probable, is shown by the letter to yesterday's Tribune, written (if report speaks truly) from the American Embassy at Constantinople. And war means the de struction of the Porte. The letter says : "Tbe Cretan Kebellion la as active as ever; the losses or the Turks nnd EiiypUariB there a'mouutlng to some 2U.000 men, and private advices from sure sources any Mint the rebellion it stronger and the Turks weaker than three months ago. Iu Thessuly and Kplrus the revo lution lia already advanced too far to be re pressed without bloodshed, or to be abandoned by the Greeks. With the Hultan and half his Ministers burning for war, with a Greek Minis try pledged to take nothing xhort or the annex ation of Crete, with KushIu quietly urging on the Greeks, with Kngland hulf inclined to encourage them Ua, is It probable that war can he avoided? Tbe Greeks are also trying to etlr up an excitement here. Placards were yester day posted through the city lo the etteot that the Turks were collecting arms and ammuni tion in the mosques for a massacre of the Christians. "The distress of the Turkish Government for want of money is great. Tbe expenses of the Cretan war have not only eaten up everything Which there was in the Treasury, but every thing which the Turks can borrow. The Janu ary interest on the national debt has been paid but nothing elae in paid and the distress nmong the employpH ofthe Porle, and through them among the small merchant, Is hoarl-rentl-ing. Women aud children In crowds mirround the Treannry department, and the Minister of Finance dot not dure to allow himself lest he hliimld ho Moiled. No one is paid who by any poRMiMllty can be avoided or compelled to wait If '1 urkey does not declare war.lt will be be cause she cannot raise the money to carry It on.' An Important Decision Affecting the ltights of Travellers upon Railroads. An important case, affecting the rights of travellers upon railroads, has Just been de cided in the Supreme Court In New Yoik city. The cose was that of Dorothea Ra wson vs. tbe Pennsylvania Kailroad Company. Tho plaintiff brought an action to recover the value of trunks containing clothing and Jewelry, lost on the railroad of defendants, through their alleged carelessness. The plaintiff, at Massillon, Ohio, paid her fare from there through to New York, and received several tickets over different lines of railways (including the defendants'), as evidence that she had paid her fare. Upon one ot the tickets was the following notice : 'This ticket entitles the holdor to not over eighty pouuds bagnge free, and not at a rale ex oeed In a In value Slot), uulesH uolioe is given, and an extra amount paid at double first-class ireight rates. No road represented by either of these tickets Is responsible lor the passeiiger or baggage while upon any other road." The trunks were burnt In consequence of an accident near . Thomas ton. The defendants set up that the property lost having in good part been received from her husband, it re mained his under the common law, and he should have been plaintiff, and tiie wile could not recover on her own suit They also claim that the amount and character of the burgage was such as to render the imposition of its sale carriage upon the Company as common carriers Unreasonable. And, finally, they claim that the Company could restrict its liability by agreement, in the shape of regulations printed on tickets and specially accepted. The Court decided that the plaintiff could maintain her action even though the property in question was tbe gift of her husband; and, secondly, that a railroad company may limit its liability as a common carrier "by positive contract, the owner ot the goods or the pas senger voluntarily, for a valuable considera tion, waiving his right to indemnity, but they cannot do so by any notice placed on a ticket, or elsewhere, even where such notice is brought to the knowledge of those whose per sons or whose property they undertake to carry;" and, finally, tbat "the kind and quan tity of the materials constituting thj baggage oi tbe traveller must depend upon his tastes and habits and his pecuniary circumstances, his position in society, aud, it might be added, the conveniences and necessities of the par ticular journey," and is a proper question for alury. The result of the decision was the con firmation of the verdict of the Court below' giving Mrs. Kawson $3995"10 as damages for tbe loss of her trunks. The Bankrupt Hill. Tbe Bankrupt bill was defeated in the Senate yesterday by a close vote. Pending a motion to reconsider the vote, the Senate adjourned. The fate ot the bill is extremely doubtful. 'The Rooneys." We have read with great amusement the little epic published by the 'American News Company," entitled "The Rooneys." It is incomparably the best satire we have recently seen. As a bit! ag sarcasm on the "mushroom" aristocracy of America, it cannot tail to do good. It is elegantly illustrated with appropriate engravings, and makes as neat and acceptable a volume to all lovers of the comical as any which has issued trom our native press for years. It is for sale by T. B. Peterson & Bros., No. 306 Chesnut street. . ' An Admirable Weekly. We are glad to see that the New York Nation is pros pering. It is a journal started on the basis of independence of thought, and adherence to no party in any measure to which it cannot give its conscientious support. The articles are ail carefully matured, and have none of those faults which characterize those of some more pretentious weeklies. It stands In New York without a rival, and contains many of the excellencies of the British periodicals, with a strength and vigor which are not exhibited by its contemporaries across the water. Tbe Queen's Speech to Parliament. Tbe Queen of England's speech to Parlia ment was delivered yesterday at noon, and is reported in full on the seventh page of our paper to-day. It. makes one of the longest reports we have yet had over the Atlantic cable. LEGAL INTELLIGENCE. Supreme Court Chief Justice Woodward, and Judaea Thompson, Strong, and Head.

An action to re cover damiiges sustained by plaintiff In having been gored by a vicious ox belonging to de fendant. Lastsprlng thedelendant was driving an ox through the city, when the beast, at Filth street aud Girard avenue, broke loose and attacked plaintiff. Defense, that the ownership of tbe ox was not In defendant, and, if it had been, lie was not llaole.uot knowing the vieious disposition of the animal. On trial. Nlat Prlus Judge Agnew. Charles M. GrlHilhs and Mary E. Griffiths: in right of the said Mary E. Griffiths, vs. The l'hiladelpbia, Germanlown, and Norris town Kuilroad Company. An aotion to recover damages against the defendants for Injury re ceived in consequence of a collision between a train of defendants and the carriage of plain tiffs, through the alleged uetdeot of the engineer of the train. On the afternoon of February 'H, 1805, plaintiffs were driving aloug Tenth street, aud hearing no whistle of an engine, attempted to crotis the railroad track, but before getting clear of the track the 8 o'clock train from Gr jnautown ran into the carriage, completely de' mollshlng the vehicle and breaking Mrs. Grif fiths' collar bone, and inflicting a severe out on tbe head of a Miss Matthews, one of toe in mates of the carriage. Tbe defense alleged that this accident was caused not by any neglect on the part of the engineer, bat by the carelesa temerity of the plaintiffs. The steam of the down trains U always cnl off at llrond street, and not used la coming intOUhe oltyj the trains coming at the rate or tenor twelve miles per hour. On this occBKion steam was cut off at Mroad street, and the whistle, a very loud one, was used before coming to Tenth slreet. The bell is never Bounded before reaching Columbia avenue. The steam was reversed aa soon as plaintiffs were seen. When the train reached Tenth street tho carriage was across the track, except one hind wheel. Parties at the croKslngof Tent h street have a clear view up to Turner's lane. On trial. Irish Lands. Lord DiiOerln writes to the Lon don 2Vc: "Five-and-twenty years ao the area of unctiltieatei land in all Ireland only amounted to six million three hundred thou sand, and at this moment there are only about lour million ot acres in that condition. Ot these four million, two mil ion and a hall con idst of bop aud mountain land, so barren as to be reported by Sir B. Griffiths untitevn for pasture; so that Instead ot there being seven million of acres ot waste land to be improved, as has been stated, there onlv remain about a million and a halt improvable even for pasture."

During- oar inveetiirations in tbe treatment of dla eaee In its various forms bj tbe aironcy of electricity, we have obtained very many valuable and startling facts, whlcb, aaded to tbe previous though limited intormation, possessed by other and less fortunate operators, plaoe as bevond all provieus knowledge ol this mjsterifcus afront. Daring the course of our practice we have treated and cured, through the knowledge thus gained, many thousands, and by means of our new discoveries have established our selves as tho most successful Medical Eleotrioians In this country or Europe. Electrical Investigation has proved that the human body acts on the principle of the ga'ranlo battery. The brain, mucous and serous membrane 1, the skin, tissues, and fluids constitute tbe nogatlve and posi tive forces, and every action, whether mental or pbyMcal, Is the rosult of thee antagonistic to roes. Digestion, respitation, circulation, secretion, and excretion are due solely to eiectrioal influence. There is a polar aotion established throughout the nervous system which connects with every part of the body, establishing and preserving a proper balance of the electricalelement which constitutes health, and a disturbance of whioh causes disease. There are strictly but two conditions of disease one of inflammation, or positive ; the other weak, debilitated, negative and as electricity oontalns these two conditions in the action of the positive and negative currents, all w. have to do is to neutralize the disease and restore proper, healthy action. Among tho chronic diseases In which electricity lias been, and is daily being by our agoncy, of the gieatest utility, a oure being rapidly effected alter the failure 01 all other means, are : 1. Epilepsy, Chorea, or St. Vitus' Dance, Paraly sis (Ueuiplegia), Neuralgia, Hysteria, Nervousness, Palpitation of the Heart. Lockjaw, etc. 2. bore fnroat.
