The Journal des Débats says:—We have received news from Constantinople to the 5th. We learn that the bibs teat relative to the question of the holy places, although it had been accepted by Ali Pacha as definitive, again mects with grave obstacles. Public opinion at Constantinople attributes the dis- missal of Reschid Pacha from the placo of Grand Vi- rier to the efforts of some persons, at the head of whom was Ahmed Fethi Pacha, grand master of the artillery, and brother-in-law of the Sultan. As to the measures which, after an interval of 43 hours, restored to the ex-Grand Vizier an eminont place in the councils of the crown, by depriving Rifaat Pacha of the functions of President of the Council of State, to invest Reschid Pacha with them, the cause must. be sought for only in the wisdom and reflection of the Sultan, and his attachment to the man who has hest comprehended his benevolent views for all classes of his subjects. For more than a year a se- cret opposition had been organized against Reschid Pacha. The Sui‘an resisted; but the action of the government was weakened. ‘The result was so great a detriment to the empire, that even the friends of Reschid Pacha desired to seo the end of a situation as compromising for him as for Turkey. Once that Reschid Pacha was dismissed, it was expected tha his adversaries would produce their plans, though n> one could say what ideas Ahmed fethi Pacha ant his adherouts intended to substitute for those which the Sultan had been acting on during the twelve years of his prosperous reign. But it soon appeared that they hed no plans to produce, and the Sultan hastened to again testify his confidence to Reschid Pacha. What astonishes the thinking men of Con- stantinople is, that a man like Fethi Pacha coull have so long consented to the unworthy practice 0° aclandestine opposition, and which may now be called intrigue, when he has nothing better to pro- pose to the Sultan. Fethi Pacha and his associates conceived that they were better aware than the Sultan of the wants of the empire. Abdul Medjid has proved once more that they were mistaken; and it is to be hoped that the lesson will profit every ene. Greece. CHANGE OF MINISTRY. ‘The Athens papers of the 7th Feb., which we have just received, announce a modification in the Greek Ministry. On the evening of the 4th, M.

The English Shipping Interests, {#rom the London Herald, Feb, 25. We are sorry to understand that a number of our best seunien are proceeding to America, where it ap- ours they are better paid and some go on to Cali- fornia, to take their chance at the diggings. A gang lately paid off from the Southampton paid their sage in one of the pesest ships from London to New York, and were on board when the ship touched at Portsmouth, Several of the seamen lately paid off from the Heela also paid their passage, and embarked at Portsmouth for New York. {From the same paper, Feb, 24.) It gives us great gratification to be able to state that the shipowners of the empire are about to issue a manifesto, calling upon all individual members of that important interest to discard, at the approaching general eh n, ull personal and party considera- tions, and (o unite as one man in giving their support to those candidates only who will unequivocally pledge themselves to a calm revision of that fatal policy which, by rapidly undermining the commercial marine of the country, is destroying the only safe- ard on which, in the present critical state of Srsopes England can rely. cial and Commercial In telligence. from the London papers, Feb, 25. The bullion market ix without particular change, doing bare of supplies till the arrival of the West India packet now looked for. The only movement isin tl reels of American gold, which continue to be reesived ut Liverpool by the successive packets, and whieh find their way quietly into the bank. The present quotation of American gold eagles is £3 AGs. 2hd. per ounco; but this con is always melted, and in this shape the price rules at £3 178.91. per ounce standard. The correspondence between Mr. Geo. Peabody and the Bank of Englond has been the subject of come discussion, and the latter seem fully justified in the course they hav BAe in declining to take Hallion under standard vo long as the Mint declines to take it from them. The commission of 14d. per ov. is not entirely so Inerative that the Bank ean fair- ly be held hound in the present time to take bullion of all assays, and to run the risk of making what hargain they can with the Mint for its reception. If any party isin fault it must be the Mint, and Mr. Peabody's course seems to be to tender his bullion tothe Mint, The question raised by that gentle- a grave one, and in the interest of this ecoun- the great bullion market, and with the pros- 1 r the Increasing importance of this trade, by ihe supplies from California and Australia, it seoms dlesirable that a satisfactory arrangoment should be inade, In suggesting that Mr. Peabody shall tender his bullion, or a portion of it, to the Mint, we are well aware that such a step cannot, in the ordinary course of trade, be at all satisfactory to the mer- chants importing bullion here, as compared with the bid practice of sending it to the Bank of England. The weekly reviews of the Amsterdam and Rot- terdam produco markots state that tere was nyt Interesting t of , however, been no positive advance in prices, although the tendency was considered favorablo. Advices from Vienna, of the 19th inst., state that the prospects of the money markot continued to bo- come more unfavorable. “The premium was again ‘304 per cent on gold, and 24 on silver. Tho opora- tion of tho new turiff had disappointed the agenta of foreign manufacturers, as it was found to be impos- sible to introduce any goods under it with advantage. In a better state of the currency, however, tho ro- sult might be in some degree different. Accounts from Turkey stated that the financial affairs of that country had been much improved by the ition of a new poll tax, and that tho government bank at Constantinople was in consequence regarded with more confidence. . Advices from St. Peterskurg, of the 13th, mention @ great improvement in the Russian funds, owing to large ‘chases made on French account. Tho Five per Cents had reached 108 to 109, and the riso in the Six per Cents had beon from 125 to 131. It had been resolved that the railway from Charkoff to Theodosia should be constructed by a private com- pany with a capital of 30,000,000 silver roubles (4,750,000), the government guaranteeing an in- terest of four percent. Charkoff is a town about 640 miles south-southeast of St. Petersburg, and Theodosia (or Kaffa) is a port on the Black Sea, near the Strait of Kertche. Accounts aro alloged to an important success of the Russian army in tho Caucasus. The wheat market was without altera- tion. The resignation of the ministry has deprived the exchequer bill reduction question of its importanos, but after having pointed out that Sir Charles Wood erroncously contradicted the estimate of the loss which hia ponies would inflict upon the publio, it may be well to correct also another mistake upon which he grounded his defence. Sir Charles is ro- ported to have said that ‘the ont was tho Jowest rate at which exchequer bills had run, and that they had never been below 14d. This, howevor, is wrong. In 1720, the rato was precisely the same as that to which it was now urged it might be ro- duced, namely, a penny a day, and bills of that description were in circulation among the public. The trade reports from the provinces during tho past week show a tendency to improvement in al- most all the markets, with every sign of permanence, unless it should be checked by the political crisis.

The ex- pedition will, in the first place, direct attention to Boechey Tsiand. beyond which no certain traces of Sir John Franklin's ships have been met, and which is incontest- ably proved to have been their wintering place in 1845~ 46.
