Tho following is tho official report : Tho most important result of tho oxamination was that the kidneya wero found to bo involved in inflammatory effcots, produced by tho irrita- tion of vosical cslenlus, which must have beon in tho bladdor for movoral yoars, to n dogroo which was not suspectod, and if it had beon sus- poctod could wnpo have boen mscer- tained, Tho dieease of tho kidnoys wag of two kinds, There wag on tho one band a dilation of both ureters, and on the polves of both kidgoys. On tho loft sido tho dilation was oxcogsivo, and had given rise to atrophy of tho landular substanco of tho organ ; on tho othor &mm ‘was subgoute Inflammation of the urinifor- ous tubes, which was of moro racont origin. The parts in tho nolghborhood of tho bladder woro in o honlthy state.

The brain and its membranes wero in & orlnut‘l‘y natural stato, Tho blood waa gonorallyligui and contained only & veory fow, emall clots, No irace’ of _ obstruction by cosguls could be found, oithor in tho vonous syatem in the Leart, or in the pulmonary artory. Doath took placo by failure of circula~ tion, and was attributablo to the gonoral con- stitutional stato of the pationt. Tho disosse of the kidneys of which this stato was tho ox- prossion, was of suoh & nature, end g0 advancad, that it ‘would in any caso have shorgly detor- minod s fatal sesmlt. -This report was signod \V all tho eurgeobs prosont, oxcopt Dr. 1Y, Gull, whose opinion differod only in r¥gard to the 'origin of tho etono, “ho belioving in to have resulted ' from prior oya- tits, Tho Emporor died from the shock of tho operations, which would not have boon attemptod, had tho fatally disoased con- dlunn‘of'&e idnoys boen' known.

The Marriage of Khalll Boys=-The Ifome of tho Eride Fitted Up with Larisian Filegances=01d Turkish Customs * Abandonocd for Nodern Usngen and Rofinoment. A lottor from Constsntinople, of Deo. 18, in tho Courrier des Elats Unis, givo s the following dotails of tho marriago of Khalil Chorlf Pachs, Ministor of Forolgn Affaira of tho Ottoman Em-~ piro, and formerly known in Poris undor tho namo of Khnlil Boy: i On Thursday Jnat, tho 12th of Docombor, tho entreg of tho Princoss Nazle undor tho roof of bor husband, Khalil Cherif Pacha, Ministor of Foroign Affaire, taolk placo. I cannot othorwiso deslgnato thig coromony, for what wo considor a8 o marriage is tho fonst that I dogoribed to you on tho 25th of Ootober. In fact, tho contract was signod at that time, Halim Pacha, unole of the Xhodive and consc- guontly of Mustapha Pacha, acting for tho Yrincoss ; but otiquotto nmong tho Turks do- manda that the brido must pass & certain timo under tho roof of hor father beforo going to the housg of hor husband, The cards %u tho Buro- poan Indios wero gouched in tho following torms:: ‘The Princoss Nazlo will havo a reception at Foundoulkli on tho 12th inst,, at 2 o'clock in tho afternoon, on tho oconslon of Licr marringo with Khalll Cherif Pacha,” In ordor to loso no datall o this coromony, T went early to tho yali of Khalil Pacha, situated in a charming f‘wuluon on tho Bosphorus, Thoro 1 found o fow hundred Turkish ladics, somo in- vited and some uninvited, for on such occasions tho houso romaing opon fo evorybody, tho only differonce boing that tho invited xsiso thoir voils, whilo the uninvited romain in their usual wall ing costumo. As tho Princess had ot yot arrived, I followed tho examplo of tho othor Indios presont in golng through the house, of which'all tho rooms of thninmmflk of Indics' apartmonts woro opon to tho inspection of tho curious. Two rooms espacially, the bedroom and boundoir of tho Princoss, wore furnishod with groat richness, combined with oxquisite tasto, ~ Thoro was onough thoro to dazzlo ovon n Datlston, Just fany 1—thoso Turiiah Tadios whoso furniture genorally conelats of a large divan and a fow ohinirs of antiquo form! During this time white slaves passod around refrash- monts; which conslated of confoctionery, chor- ries, coffoo, and cigorettos, whilo & band of “Turkish musicians played and sang. Buddonly the report was ciroulated that tho Princoss had arrived, and tho ounuchs turned ovorybody oxcept the chambormelds from the boudoir and bedroom, and a fow momonts aftor- ward wo witnossed tho arrival of tho Princoss loaning on the arm of Khalil Pacha, who hnd gono to meot her at tho throshold, and who conduoted Lor to Lior apartmonts, whote ho lofh ‘her with her gorvants to chango her dross, Ho roturnod by the ssmo way that ho camo, pro- codod by two cunuchs, who opened o passage for him, for whilo tho old women hid their faces, tho young onos, unveiled, crowded around him in order to soo him, and posaibly to bo scen. On hor grrival tho Princoss’ was in Fronch Dridal costume of white faillo coverod with boau- tiful laces roliovad with orange flower buds. Hor crown, also of oranga flowers, was surmounted by o dladom “with brilliants, and & voil of tullo illugion camo half way in front and balf way bo- Lind the head, It was by caprice that the Prin- cons dreased hornolf in this atylo, for s Turkish bride always appoars with a rose-colored dross embroidored in gold, Another dorogation from ki customs was {hat Khalil Pacha gavo his arm to the Princess. A Turle nover gives his arm to & woman. I will now givo you a fow dotails upon the Dridsl aquipsgo. The Princess was in carriago with whito satin blinds lowored. Tho English coachman and groom woro on thoir bronats white rosen. Two mamolukes on horsobnok procedod tho- oprrisge, which was followed by eunuche, ono of whom rodo at oach door. The rolatives nnd suito of tho Princoss brought up tho rear in obout forty carriages, accompanicd also by mamolukes and ounuchs, ‘Toward noon atablo was sot for 100 guests ; but tho orowd was go groat, 80 hungry, and for a momont 80 forgotful of all_otiquotto, that tho eunuchs had_considerablo diflioulty in gotting places for tho wives of pachas and othor functionnrics, Thoso ladios were excoedingly marry during tho repast. Whon it was an- nonced that tho Princoss was rondy to rocoive thom, thnfl started to run, danced around, and laughed like school girls, Tho Princoss was in her boudoir, and thia timo woro o red velvot dress, embroidored in gold, which cost 10,000 franca. Sho kopt her crown_of orango flowers and hor dindem. Bho was absolutely radinnt with youth and beeuty, whilo sho sparkled with precious stonos— and all combined with oxcoeding elo- gauco and good taste, ALl this shown to grontor - advantago by tho groon tap- estry of n huo that bharmonized per- foctly with tho color of the dress, g;ad\mad a ‘magio offact which held everybody almost spoll~ bound. Three or four persons only at a timo woro pormitted to go into tho apartmont of the Princess. Thoy lusaod her cheok, bor hand, or the hom of her dress, according to thoir rank; oaid hor somo comp\fmnnt, and thon rotired to mako yoom for othors. Among the ladics prosont I romarked tho Trincess Kiamil Pacha, soveral ladies of tho bureau of tho Grand Vizlor, Madam Kiosim Boy duughtor of the grost Fuad, Mudam. Oboull Pacha, Madum Bemer Paghs, and Madam- Eumi Bey. Tho most romarkable for tho richnoss of thair toilots a I'Europeenne woro tho Princoss Hulim, Madam Kinzim, and Madam Eumi. Iittle attor 4 o’clock the halls weore .vacated, and at tho sotting sun Khalil Pacha went to f"y in the noighboring moaquo hefore golng to visit his wifo, Thus finfshod this day, whioh scomod to innugurate s now era in tho gooial existenco of Turkey. The Pr{nuaa Azoza, seoond daughtor of Mus~ tapha Pacha, and who was botrothod beforo the Tiincoss Nasla, gooa to-morrow into the housa of hor husband, Izzot Bey, grandson of Fuad Pacha.
