During the past severai years a number of attempts have been made to induce the American owners of estates o the island to consolidate their interests, wit a view to leading to its pnrehase by the United States.

REFORM IN TURKEY.—The Sultan. has writ- tena letter to Queen Victoria, declaring his intention to inaugurate English institutions in his dominions. ‘In his negotiations he inti- mates a desire to make the reforms applicable to the whole empire. The Porte is complain- ing of Austria, and requests the powers to compel her to conform to the declarations made at the Berlin congress, and to stop the advance and excesses of her troops pending the discussion of the powers. Unless this is done, the Porte will consider Austria a viola- tor of international law. PROBAD.E RETIREMENT OF ACKLEN. - A special dispatch to the N. ¥.

Although the committee fs still reticent, prominent poll. ticians ony there is but little doubt that he will be retired wholly fom the ticket, for if he were innocent altogether of the charges the committee would have so declared him. The gentlemen comprising the committee are mainly members of the democratic statecen- tral committee, and their slow action {s justly attributable to are political complications. It is much to be doubted whether the result of the investigation will ever be known, except in so far as it affects Acklen politically, for so many prominent families are innocently im- picated that the entire truth will propen be ‘orever concealed.

French discount houses are biddin; for three months paper at 4'4 per cent, an the state of French and German exchanges renders it certain that gold will come here from the continent, so the apprehensions of increased tightness in the mney market are aliayed. Tne name of the Glasgow firm of ship builders whose failure was announced on the ith instant, 1s Wm. Simons & Co., of Ren- frew. The other ship builders who it was thought would fail, are likely to find help that will enable them to tide over the crisis. It is now believed that the assets of the heaviest debtors of the City of Glasg ow bank will turn out better than was at first hoped, with the exception of those of Smith, Fleming & Co. und their Indian houses, which are in a very bad condition.
