NEW TUREEY. The Troubles in the Danu- bian Prinelpalities. An Austro-Turco-Russian Alliance on the Tapis— The Red Republicans of Roumania—The Fall of Hohenzollern Prince Charles Merely a Question of Time—A Sanguinary Wife- Killer in the Guise of a Romantic Russian Prince—The Troubles of the Toutons in Roumania. ConsTANTINOPLE, March 31, 1871. Ominous clouds have darkened the political hori- on of Roumanta; Bucharest has been in a ferment all the week, The telegrams state, it is true, that there has been no popular tumult or rioting; but his fact 1s mainly due to the strong aversion of the Wallach to a fight. In the West agitation is a symp- tom of excitement which, ten to one, will cuiminate in blows; with the Wallach it ts itself the climax, and, however discontented he may be, he rarely attempts to mend matters or to soothe his own feel- ings by getting his head broken, In my last week’s lewter I mentioned that the Ghika Ministry had re- signed, and later advices announced that Prince Charles had got Mr. L. Catargi to form a ‘“mod- erate” government; but as its constituent members are as moderate in capacity as the whole is in po- Utical feeling, neither long life nor any great amount of prosperity can be predicted for this feeble band. CHARLES TO BE DEPOSED. The Ministry having been formed, there arose in the Chamber @ discussion so portentous that Prince Charies then gnd there dissolved the Assembly, His ‘own deposition was the theme. We have now, therefore, to wait for the result of the elections; but this can scarcely be doubtful; for, whatever party may prevail, the fall of the Hohenzoilern dynasty is certain, since its very well-meaning and conscientious representative has not a leg of local influence to stand upon. What, then, 4s to follow? If the country nad no account to render of itself to a suzerain Power, or even ff it had stability and respectability enough to com- mand the confidence of its neighbors, we should probably see a Roumantan republic, with Join Ghika as President. But this would be equally un- acceptable to Turkey, to Russia and to Austria, To Turkey 1t might be sertously perilous; for, notwith- standing that the Servians have latterly displayed much national self-control aud appear to be steadily occupied with their own internal development, it 18 very questionable whether they would be proof against the unsettling influence of @ trans-Danublan republic. Movement in Servia would mean invasion of Bosnia, an effort for which Servia ts not yet ripe, but which would neverthe- less be most disastrous to Turkey. Kussia, who was always opposed to the union of Wallachia with Moldavia, will probably hati the present opportu- nity for effecting thelr reseverance, Austria lias as much to fear from anarchy as from a republic on her frontier; and it is, therefore, zeasonable to look for a military occupation of the United Principall- ties by Turkey, in which she will probably be as- atsted both by Austria and by Russta, THE NEW TURKISH MINISTER 10 THE UNITED STATES. Several diplomatic changes are announced at the Porte, and among them one which, although not yet oficially announced, ts nevertheiess decided upon, Ladvert to the appointment of Conemenos Bey as Minister at Washington. The envoy-elect was for some years Secretary of Embassy at St. Petersburg, and bears with him across tie Atlantic a well merited reputation for diplomatic ability and pri- vate worth. The great coal beds of Bender Eregli, on the south coast of the Euxine, are at length to be systemati- cally worked. It 18 astovisning that they should have been left so long neglected, for their value was proved turing the Crimean war. The bed is nincty mitles long, and averages thirty miles in breadti, and the coal Is of excellent quality. Many proposals have been made trom time to time to the govern- ment for the working of these mines, but there is a sort of mysterious belfef in the minds of the Turks dm the boundless extent of thie hidden treasures of mines which has rendered it hitherto impossible for any bidder to come to terms respecting those of Eregil; and here let me remark that their own in- curable obstructiveness 1s what ts slowly wearing out the Turkish race, A few months ago a French gentleman obtained the concession, ior thirty-six years, on terms which appeared prohibitively onerous. ‘They were an advance of haif a mil- lion sterling, or, to usa the language of the concession, one hundred thousand purses, to the civil ist, of which the mines are an appanage, at twelve per cent interest; a capital of £500,000, Out of which certain specified railway and harber works are to be made; an equal division of net profits with the civil list, and the cession of all the works, buildings and plans to the government at the expiration of the concession. Heavy as these conditions are the holder of the concession has found adherents in London to furnish the capital and the works are to begin this spring. The Tarkisn government contracts take 100,000 tons of coal per annuin at twenty-six shillings per ton, delivered at Constantinople, It is estimated that a minimum yield of 700,000 tons per annum may be counted ‘upon, and if this provision te realized it wili prove a serious blow to the British coal trade in the Medi- terrancan. One of tie leading English coal pro- Prictors offered @ mi!lion to uy up the concession, obviously not with the latention of working it, A iarge number of the oillcers of the navy. sub- mitted recently to an examination, which although voluntary Was of @ very scarching and detailed character. The Capitan Pacha promised that all those who passed the ordeal successfully should re- ceive their promotion, and nearly half the oficers in the service. from the grade of sub-lieutenant up- ward, entered the lists. Two hundred and fifty out of the number proved equai to the test, and have recelved their promotion accordingly. Doubtless a ‘eat deal has been done toward tmproving the ‘urkish navy, and especially in the school and train- ing department; bat Gibbon’s remark that “the soldier learns di-cipline by exercise rather than by study’’ 1s even more applicable to the sailor, and in the vpportunities jor such exercise there ts in the Ottoman navy a great deficiency. The ships le too long doing nothing in the Bosporus, principally be- cause the Sultan likes to see them anchored about his palace, and consequeunily itis very dificult to gauge with any accuracy the real practical em- ciency of the fee. Accounts from Candia state that the new arsenai in the Bay of Souda 1s progressing rapiily. ‘lhe building slips are finished, a large range of marine barracks has been erected, and a spacious dry dock is far advanced toward completion. REFORMS IN THE TURKISH NAVY. At the Porte it is rumorea that the judicial re- forms, the project for wntch had been framed by the great patriot and reformer Mustapha Pavyl Pacha, When he Was Minister of Justice, and which have Jam in some forgotten bag of the Divani Akhiam for upwards of atwelvemonth, are to ve routed out, dusted and set right and uppermost between this and the 16th April, Inshallah ! for they are most urgently needed, and it 1s a pitiful sight to belold civization struggling to make headway against the surging waves of the lawlessness that prevails in Turkey, while the stavesmen of the country are tinkering here and patching there, instead of grap- pine. vigoroualy with this deadly evil. Mustapna ‘azyl Pacha possesses tie will, as he has also the ability and the energy, to carry out tis own scheme of relorm; but unfortunately he ts shelved for the present, owing to a palace ttrigue, and when the reaction may take place in ms Imperial Majesty's mind and the country again have the advantage of Mustapha’s services, 20 one can venture to predict. Finaucial Condition of the Country—Princo Charles of Roumania avd the Roumaman Constitution—Tho Turkish Navy. CONSTANTINOPLE, April 1, 1871. We appear to be fast coming to a financial dead- flock, if, indeed, that uncoitortable goal has not already been reached. Tho government, what with ‘short’ loans, Which have proved long, and a sys- tem of payment by treasury bonds which have not been taken up at maturity, has gradualiy absorbed all the floating capital in the city, and now stands indeoted to local bankers in the modest sum of halt score of millions sterling. But this is notal. The State purveyors have not been paid, nor has the army, nor the civil employés for several months, and consequently, since there 13 no special dispensa- tion of Allah's which enabies even the favored Mos- Jem to live on air, all the servants of ‘the Porte are dcep in the books of their private sournisseurs, who again ure-in arrears with the wholesale merchants, Turn, therefore, which way you will there ts debt on all sides, and ail look to the State for relief. Is this relief at hand? Rumor answers affirmatively ; but then rumor is as sad a Dlagueur In the Golden Clty as anywhere else, Ii, however, she is fibbing now the romance has at least a foundation of fact, for the financial wirepullers of Galata are assiduous in attendance at the Malis, a sure prognostic of a Joan brewing. The Minister of Finance rather encourages the propagation of canards on @his subject, as the hope ot a loan being speedily concluded 1s soothing to the minds of the government creditors and abates the’ | mportunity. Thus we have been told, now th. *+ loan of 26,000,000 Was on the eve of conclu- sic 7 row one of 6,000,000, agam one of 12,000,000, and last of all that an Ainerican com»iuation had rranged and that Wall street was going to Eien urkisi [oan Of 10,000,000 OF 12,640,000, a8 1 une ere Do myvestments for 10cal capital in the Bates "Thee wrueh pl is that unless this deplorable msurrection in Paris shipwrecks our hopes of @ revival of international credit the Saine group of capitalists who sponsored the loan of 1869 will again come to the aid of the Porte. Un- promising a4 this sketeh of the financial position of this country may seem, {ts latent resources are 80. vast that there is no ground for anxiety, even with the present form of government, Just as the grass blades straggie out from under tne stone so will the wealth of Turkey force its way upwards from beneath the superincumbent weigut of despotism that now crushes it down. THE ROUMANIAN CONSTITUTION. ‘There appears to be considerable agitation among the South Siavonic nationalities, in which the Roumanians take part, arising from fear of the Pan- Germanism which they apprehend as a result of the late war. A telegram received to-day from Bucha- rest announces that disturbances have broken out there, and that the Ministry has resigned. The result will probably be the dethronement or abdica- tion of Prince Charles, whose days, as ruler of Roumania, were numbered from the hour of bis ap- peal to the Western Powers against the Roumanian constitution—an act which, from the Prince’s own point of view, rendered him 80 completely unpopular with every p litical party to the principality tvat virtually it sealed the death Warrant of his dynasty. HEALTH OF THE SULTAN. The Sultan has not been very weil lately, It ap- ars that his sanguineous, excitable constitution suffers from the inactive life he leads, and that lat. terly he has been subject to violent attacks of nervous irritability. @ magnificent palace of Tcheragan is now verging on completion, and a sam of £1,500,000 has been voted for furnishing and decorating it. On Wednesday, 22d March, the Sul- tan received the corps diplomatique on the occa- sion of the new year—that day being the ist of Mouharrew, 1288, of the Hegira, Kiamil Bey leaves to-day for ‘Madrid to oer the Sultan’s congratula- Uons to King Amadeus on his accession to. the Spanish throne, and will proceed thence to brus+ sels Lo invest King Leopola with the Grand Cordon of the Osmanich. ‘the Duke of Sutherland arrived here this week from Egypt. THE TURKISH NAVY, ‘The tron-clad fleet has left its winter anchorage in the inner horn and taken up its summer quarters 1 the Bosphorus, off the palace of Delma Baghtché, This Heet now consists of eighteen vessels, five of which are frigates, each with an armameut of 1if- teen 160-pounder Armstrongs and one 300-pounder ; eignt are corvettes of various power, and the otuer five are gunboats, The Admiralty is building a mailed corvette iu the arsenal, and tenders for @ large ves- sel of the Monarch class have been invited trom England, Tne Porte 13 taking measures to fortify Batoum and Sinope, and at the latter place extensive harvor works are in contemplation, with a view to the estabilsbinent there of @ Laval arseual and depot. Per contra, the Russian government purposes, it 1s understood, to fortify Soukeoum Kaleh--au intention hol very favorably viewed by the Turks, Capvsin Edenborough, the American genticman who is charged oy the Porte with the construction of TORPEDOES, has had to ecounter many delays and difficulties; but the cases, or tanks, for a number of these deadly eugines, with which the first experiment, on a iarge scale, 1s to ve tried, are now ready, and this interest- ing essay of the weapon on which the Ottomau gov- ernment malaoly relics for the future defence of the Bosphorus and Heliespout 18 expected to come oif ina few days. The tanks are constructed to con- tain 6,000 pounds of powder, An American veronaut, nameu Weils, is here, and has overed his services to the Porte, with a view to the introduction of the study of aerial navigaton tnto the army. Mr. Wells has had considerable experience in France, and has. itis siated, invented @ method of steeriig balloons With perfect accuracy. The Minister of War is ex- pecung, by a vessel now on the way from America, 25,000 Winchester repeating rifles, Thus, on the whole, you will observe “Yankee notions” are filling up agood many gars in the Turkish army, In tue nal, to0, 1 noticed a number of universal shaping funes of American construction, besides 200 Gauling’s mitraiieusés; but these, although of Ameri- can moyel, were made tn Vienna, iow Easter is Kept in Constantinople—Tark- isu Retorms—iussian Romance—A Beaul- ful Circassian Bride. CONSTANTINOPLE, April 10, 1871. faster Monday! The forty weary days of Lent are over, The meagre dinners of beans and olives, with which Greek flesh has mortified itself since the Car- nival, are at an end, and succulent lamb, roasted whole and stuifed with rice and raisins and nuts, comforts the souls of the orthodox, The Catholic and Armenian-Catholic churches are gay with flow- ers and crowded with loungers. The Gregorian Armenians, porters chiefly, gather In knots in the streets and dance to the tuneful screeching of uncouth instraments—sackbut, dulcimer, and so forth—joyously thumping each other in the small of the back, a proceeding which only requires to be re- peated sufictently often to become intensely face- tious. Dance on, grimy Gregorians! and thump one anotuer jn the fulness of your joy; to-morrow your backs will bend and your sturdy limbs quiver under burdens the mere sight of which would send a thrill through the vertebra of any ordinary camel. The Municipal Garden is full, and, please Husni Pacha, the Minister of Police, it will be fuller next year; for the Turkish ladies have petitioned to ve allowed to walk in it, as they are allowed to walk in that of the Sweet Waters. TOBACCO TAX. The Osmanil legislators are still deeply absorbed in solving the problem of how to raise the wind, From the new tobacco tax @ gentle zephyr, 80 to say, is wafted; but as this tax only applies to the capital where the consumption of tobacco does not exceed five and a half millions of pounds annually, it will not yleld more than £400,000, which, capitalized, would come to abont a sixth of the amount the Porte de- sires to borrow. It is proposed, therefore, toextend the tax to the provincial towns, and by this means it is estimated that about @ million sterling of revenue will be obtained, which, added to the un- pledged portion of the Egyptian tribute and to the extra piastre a head which has been laid upon sheep and goats, will amount to @ sam sufficient to guar- antee the interest and sinking fund of o loan of 24,000,C00 or 25,000,000 stock. TROUBLES OF THE TEUTONS—THE PRINCE OF ROU- MANIA REBUKED, From Roumania there is nothing new the last few days. The Porte bas administered a rebuke to Prince Charles for the antl-German mots which oc- ourred on the 22d ult., and threatens intervention if any more Germen windows are smashed, or any more brickbats, decomposed eggs or other sundries are launched at the beads of festive Teutons, The threat is very proper and justifiable, though to the Prince, agaist whom the riot was directed, it will sound ratner like tureatentng one who has had his head broken, With a speil of the treadmiil if it hap- pens to him again. If Turkey coud wash her bandas altogetoer of tae Principalities it woula greatly tend to strengthen her position, The tribute Roumania pays ied £36,000 & year—a BOrTy compensation for the endless troubles ever breeding in that hotbed of intrigue. What, I wonder, would diplomatists say to a partution of these provinces, giving Wallachia to Austria and = Moldavia to Russia, Turkey reserving only a strip of territory along the left vank of the Danube | An eminent Turkish oiicial told me a few days ago that the sympathies of the “rea” party, which had been presumed tutherto to be French, were now found to ve entirely Russian, My informant was in @ position to know the truth, and could scarcely almself have been misinformed. Perhaps under these circumstances a timely partition of tnis rest- less country might obviate troubles which seem to be ready to start up at a moments notice, A BLOODY BLUEBEARD, Talking of Russia, let me teil & tale of a soldier Prince and @ beautiful Pr.ncess—not bad material for aromance, The Prince was—I say was, because he 18 a Prince no more—a Russian; he came here from the Caucasus with @ Circassian bride, young, beautiful, “iresh as the foam, new bathed in Papoian wells.” He himself was an imposing- looking man, tall, swarthy and — biack-bearded— ambitious, too, for he aspired to muiftar: honors, and presented himself to Genera! ignauet? as @ brother neral. The Ambassador had doubts, but returned Tus visit notwithstanding. Abundant were the signs of wealth in the sti rs abode, and the Princess was bevond 4 doubt a high bred lady, But there was something queer about the man; something queer about @ Russian general, and a Prince to boot, travelling about without let- ters, yet claiming recognition at the Em) General Ignatlem velegruphed tw St. Petersburg, and in due time the answer arrived, But meanwhile the ve grew uneasy in his m: id taking with the Princess, withdrew, by way of Rodosto, to the plains of Roumelia, pushing towards the frontier, Some- ‘ting mM the St. Petersburg despatch prompted the General to follow mm up. He pressed forward be- yond Adrianopie, but the General and the telegraph Were too many for him, Kussian agents tracked him, Russian cavasses arrested him and brought him’ back to Constantinople, The Ambassador takes care of him pending a opportunity for sending him to Siberia. The ambassadress takes @ gentior care of the Circassian flower, but her pretty head droops eee Rees te and weil it may, for the fatal telogram from St. Peterburg has proved that her princely hero is nothing but an as- sassin of the Biuebeard type, Who has already made away with four wives as young, as rica and ag tair as hersell. TURKISH SECRET SERVICE. The abuse of tae secret police is one of the great blots on the present administration. An instance of this came the other day under my notice. The police Instructed the street newsveniers, whenever any copies of the Tasvire KYkiar (A Turkish journal puvlished in London) were put juto their hands for sale, to take them to the Zaptien and deliver them up against payment of ® smaii reward. Shortly afierwards @ police spy in disguise offered one of tue newsvenders five hundred ptastres to procure him some copies of the proscribed jouraal. The poor man, to whom five pounds was @ sinail fortune, obtained some old numbers from @ Geran book- seller in Pera and gave them tothe spy. He waa ‘at once arrested and throwa Into prison and so far all the cnaritadie endeavors made to Obtain His roe lease ave proved fruitless. FINANCIAL AND COWMERULAL, WALL STREET, } Sarugpay, May 6—6 P. M. On 'Change to-day wheat opened firm, but on & faling off in the demand prices became unsettled. The cotton market was about steady.

The legal reserve was Qugmented $1,883,025; but only one-third of that amount could be set aside In the surplus owing to the fact that the deposits increased about $5,200,000, The gain in specie was trifing, owing to the ship- ments of the week and the large payments into the sub-Treasury for customs.

Brown sheetings and suirtings have been only moderate in movement, For the higher grades there has been some inquiry, yet the tendency has been to @ surplus in agents’ hands. A few days’ active business, however, will relieve the market of any accumulation. In leading styles prices are steady, but te firmness of the printing cloth market has tended to give strength to the tone of the lower qualities. Bleached sheetings and shirtings have not been moving so Ireely; although some makes are sold ahead, the tendency 1s to accumulation. There ts an unusual demand for fine grades of these gools. Cotvonades are im fair request, though the main demand ts over for the season, the favorite styles being in smail stock. Colored cottons are not much inquired for, most styles being quiet. ints are not fu such demand from the mannfac- turers as for some weeks backs, yet printers are in many cases occupted busily with reprints, Ginghams seil freely at steady prices, and the Md makes are sold Close up to the suppiy in first ands. Printed lawns and percaies are now in good de- mand and prices are firm, im other Goimestic cotton fabrics there is no noticeable change. There 1s @ full stock of destra+ ble goods tu (he market, but no surpins, There is fuliy as rauch business as at ouher seasons.

Yesterday Coroner Schirmer held an inquest on the body of a colored female, Mary Mercey, who died at Bellevue Hospital from, it is believed, a dose of laudanum, administered either by herself or another person. She had been @ domestic in the family ol George W.

Had the Olympics been abie to present their full nine, THE RESULT OF THE CONTEST Would most certainly nave been quite diferent. It1s certamly ashame and a disgrace that there 1s not in the whole city of New York a@ place where the youth of the city can assembie and play a game of ball, or, in fact, anything else, and that, too, in the face of the fact that there are at least two places that could just as well be devoted to tis purpose as not. These places are, first, Tompkins square, @ dreary waste up In the Seventeenth ward, which is wholly un- used and unoccupied save a few days in the spring ot the year, when it is made the scene of military parades and drills; aud secondly, a portion of the Central Park, It 1s true that on certain days in the week the scholars of the puvlic schools are alowed to play ball upon THE MALL IN THE PARK; but none other than such scholars, and they must not be upwards of sixteen years oid. Even the students of the College of the City of New York, a pubiic tn- stitution, are excluded, to say nothing of te thousands of youths who attend privaie schools or who have to work in tactories, shops, &c., for a ad vance in the price of wool has its influence in the stagnation of the twee wolght fancies, as manufac- turers are holding for @ price, and possi wo their disadvantage. ~ . Mi overcoutlngs prices are a trige better than lass living. Now, there is ample room in the Park for at least three or four bail grounds, which should be laid of at once, and thrown open at ali times, dur. ing the ball season, to the boys, and as for Tompkins square, why, {tis good for nothing else. Fally ap- preciating vhs fact, Mr. Will Kelly, who has been 80 long and favorabiy identified with the interests of THE JUNIOR BASE BALL ASSOCIATION (he having served several terms as their president), jade application on behalf of the youth of te city, 0 the Park Commisstoners last Tuesday for the use of the square as a public ball ground. Thu applica- tion was revered to the Execulive Committee, which, owing to the fact of said committee being composed of such public spirtted and worthy gentle- men as Peter B. Sweeny, Judge Hilton and the Hon. Thomas Fields—who promised to report upon the matter at the next meeting of the Comunis- sioners, and who fully appreciate the wants and necessities of the rising geueration—is equivalent to saying it was granted, GAMES TO COME OFF. Next Thursday the Flyaways, the Juntor cham- Pions, and the Mutuals, the champions of the protes- sional branch ot the fraternity, will do batue on tie Union grounds, Williamsburg. To-morrow, the sth instant, on the Union grounds, Mutuals vs. Silver Stars (juniors), May 8, Rose Hill, of St, Joun’s College, vs. Alert, of Seaton Hall, at Fordham.

New York has its criminal feature, but Queens county furnishes a parallel by producing four mur- derers in about as many months. All are now con- fined and awaiting trial, and to-morrow the Uyer and Terminer will convene, with Judge Gilbert on the bench. These four murderers are William Kelly, Joon H. Devine, John McKenna and Mrs. Dorris Deekman Kelly and Devine stand jointiy Indicted for the murder of Garrett W. Nostrand, of Syossett. The murder was a tess one. Both have made confessions, ove accusing the other. McKenna stands indicted for the murder of George Jones, of Greenpoint, it being alleged that he shot him while a free fignt was raging in Ferry street, Hunter’s Point. Mrs. Deekman’s case 1s a lamentable one, she being indicted for the unnatural crime of murdering her own offspring. It is alleged. that ehe Killed tt by starvation and cruel treatment, Tne trial of these cases will probably occupy three days. MARRIAGES AND’ DEATHS. “ Marriea.
