The Turks have solved one of their financtal probiems—namely, how to provide for the pay- ment of their maudats falling due this month; by mmply allowing them to go to protest.

MINERAL WEALTH, The unbounded resources of the country in min- tral Weaith have so repeatediy been brought under the notice of the Ottoman government that they fave come to accept the fact, regardless of the ‘fing drawback that most of the wealth of these | ‘mines stil) lies buried under ground, without a ehance of its ever seeing the light of day so | ‘eng as the Turks pursue the obstructive policy which smothers all industrial enterprise jm their country. Permisston has long been sought from the government ior the working by .tndividual enterprise of a large number of mines spread over the Ottoman dominions; but the gov- ernment has hedged itself round with a number of stupid and vexatious regulations, which weary ut the applicants and leave the mineral wealth of the empire undeveloped, And yet it is the revenue which should arise {rom these same mines which Q@gures on the list of securities that Sadyk Pacha is. imstructed to offer to European capitalists in re- warn for their money, TREASURE TROVE. Some further details, gathered on the spot, have feached me in connection with the treasure dis- covered in the possession of some villagers lately employed by Dr. Schliemann in his Troy excava- tions. Two men, while digging at the depth of ‘thirty feet, and at a small distance from an ancient Wail, came upon a plain earthen jar, of which the | month was closed and plastered over with reddish elay. The jar was small, measuring about six | Mmehea ib height by three in diameter. The day being far advanced the men found no diMculty in concealing their discovery from Dr. Schliemann’s overseer, and on finishing ‘the day’s work they conveyed the jar to a secluded spot, where they divided tts contents. The follow- tng are the articles which, as far as it has been Possibie to ascertain, were found In the jar:—One fat cake of solid gold, about two inches square and 4 quarter of an inch thick; two plain finger rings, otnamented with three rows of twisted gold | on the upper and one on the lower surface; two pairé of earrings, plain, round and tapering above $0 fit into the ear, and thick below; two brooches, sbaped at the upper end in the form of the letter | ¥., and attached to the cvottom of each is a hori- sontal bar, from which aepend eight small chains, each terminated by a flat round piece of ornamental goid; two gold bracelets, thick, plain; one gold band for the hair, Belle Hélene, plain and thin, ad- misting of being rolied up when placed in the jar; four beads, piain, avout the size of a small but, and a large number of small plain beads, each about the size of & pea. Besides the above articles large, rough lump of gold, inter- mixed with earth dently the remains of ornaments destroyed by fire, was also found at a subsequent period. The government has seized only a portion of this treas- Bre in its o! al form. ‘The remainder had been already copverted into modern ornaments and pre- sented py one of the finders to his sweetheart—a cir- eumstance which excited suspicion and uitimately led to the discovery by the authorities 0: the whole. According to THE STATEMENT extorted from tne men they dug up their io three months previous to the date ed by Dr. Schiiemann ior the fina- img of nis treasure. The two treasures lay bariea in two distinct spots at a distance from each otber 01 about 150 yards. Some years ago a jar full of gold coins was also dug up close to the same spot. It is remarked that none of the imple- ments found by Dr. Schliemann were of iron, no ‘trace of that metal being found anywhere in the beignborhood: nor did the fagstones forming the avement of a gateway which was brought to ht in the course of the excavations bear the faintest impression of cart wheels. It is next | © certain, therefore, that the city of which Dr. Schiiemaun bas partially et the site existed 4m the period of transition ym the stone age to Wat of bronze. Homer re edly alludes to the use of iron during the Trojan war, and if his account be impiicitly accep! “Hissarlik” cannot be the site of old “{lltium.” It 13 possibie that the poet, being familiar with the topography or the country, embodied in his poem the local tradition banded down irom remoter times, but that, ignor- ut of the exact period at which the events related | eens he has been guilty of some serious aachronisms. ihe fact that fints, arrows and spear heads alone have been found in other tumult, generally admitied to nave been raised over the remains of the Trojans killed in battie, strengthens the above assumption. ZOOLOGICAL SCIENCE UNDER DIFFICULTIES. The well known zoological tastes of the Sultan have given rise to @ serious tragedy on Mount Leva- non. An officer, high in command in Syria, having ascertained that @ present of long-haired cata would be hig! acceptabie to his sovereign, sent out je8 through the coun- with orders to capture all the long- uy, haired cats they Bomber was Collecte ht find. When a suMicient the cats, packed in wagons and in charge of a strong escort, commenced their | journey towards the capital. A heavy fall of snow Btopped the progress of the wagons, and their precious contents were transierred to the backs of mules; more snow rendered the progress of she Jatter impossivie, and cats Were once more transferred to the backs of the men in charge. Whue still in the mountain defies the party were Met by a detachment of soldiers whose fancy was 80 tckled by the strangeness of the burdens carried by the men that in a playful bumor, char- acteristic of the Turkish soldier, they turned round snd fired Gn the cat bearers, The cats having more lives to spare than the men fared better than their escort, one of Which was shot on the spot, another died of his wound: ¢ Dext day and several others Were badly wounded.

Mr. Howlett entered the public service at a very early age im the then existing Corps of Military Surveyors and Draughtsmen, and belore he bad reached twenty years was engaged on the Ord- nance Survey. In 1830 he was appointed chief sur- veyor and draughtsman, and was charged with the inspection Ol the instruments supplied for the use Oi the Corps of Koyai Engineers, To this work he applied himself with scientific zeal, im- proving and modifying more than one instr iment brought under nis notice. In this way he was led to prepare a set of tables for calculating altitudes by the mountain barometer which have been extensively used. The improved stadiometer, as used at Hythe, was another of Mr. Howlett’s | inventions, and was brought out nnder the auspices of the lave General Hay. Mr. Howlett contributed numerous papers to the pubiication known as “Professional Papers of the Roya: En- gineers.” He also publisted a ‘Treatise on Per- Spective,"’ which has been regarded as an excellent manual On the subject. Although 4 trivial matter, itmay interest some to know that the words “In” and “Out,” waoich we now see on tne doors of every public office were the suggestion of Mr. Howlett. They were first used at the Bank of Eng- land in consequence ot a written communication made oy bim to the autuorities of that establish. ment | John Pye, the Artist. [From the London Athenwum, Feb, 14.) We bave now to aunounce the death, on the 6th inst., of an aged artist, and to give a sketch of the | career of one of the ablest men in bis proijession | whom this country has produced—a landscape en- | graver of the highest class, either in this or any | jormer time; a master of the refinements of chiar- | oscuro, Jonn Pye—who produced the plates afier | Turner, “The Temple of Jupiter in Egina” and ‘Ehrenprettstein’’ and many other fine samples of | the purest style aod most poetic rendering of poetry in art. John Pye was born in Birmingham in 1782. He was consequently within a few months of the age to which Mr. Cornelius Varley attained. | Stanley’s Bryan’s “Dictionary of Painters, &c.,’” | generally so good an authority, errs in saying that Pye Was the son oi another engraver of tue same | mame. He left Birmingham when he was | about eighteen years of age, came to London, and became an apprentice to James Heath, in | whose well filed workshop he met several youths | who became eminent ata time when English en- | gravers were Without rivals in the world, and their works were eagerly sougut in every direction. On his arrival in London Pye bad already acquired so mucn skill that, although he was oniy seli-taught, Heath not only took him a8 an apprentice wituout the premium ordinariy paid to abie engravers, but gave lum wages from the irst moment he eu- tered the house, which then contained many older but less advanced pupils. He continued with James Heath for a considerable period. Pye’s first decided step towards jortune was engraving “Pope's Villa,”’ with the figures by C. Heath, after Turuer, aud published in 1811. Before this time he was engaged on the plates to Flinders’ “Voyage” of discovery in Australia and its neign bornood, which described the wonders of voyagers and surveying of that day. While busy with tus | work, Pye was introduced to Sir Joseph Banks, | aud by him he was brougut into contact with many scientific and literary men. Turner was 80 delighted with “Pope's Villa’ that he called on | Pye, and, a most unusual thing with him, ex- pressed warmly his satisfaction with the wor This ied to the production of “The Temple of Jupiter in Egina,” which gratified Turner so greatly that he offered to paint a companion | picture to the “Temple” in order that Pye might engrave it. ‘nis incident caused Pye “not less astonishment than delight, time | his progress was certain and steady, so that | he rose to the summit of his protession, and while by no means an old man, retired | from the active practice of his art with a com- petence, One of the most irequent sources of emolument which Pye enjoyed was that of revis- ing the plates of other engravers, which he did chiefly with respect to chiaroscuro.

A mass meeting of journeymen varnishers and | polishers was held yesterday for the purpose of | | effecting & reorganization of the trade, with a view of raising, with the revival of the trade in the Spring, the rates of wages to the former standard, as they were established previous to the panic. | It was etated that wages, in consequence of the | financial crisis jast fall, were reduced at least | twenty per cent; and it was reported that, even Qt the present time, attempts are frequently made on the part of the the empioyer to lower the scale of wages. The average rate of wages since the panic, it is stated, is about $15 per week. A Temporary organization was effected by choosing Anthon Chlinger to preside, and the constitution and bylaws o/ the old organization were presented aud referred to @ commitiee ior amendment. A committee to prepare a plan of permanent organi- Zaion Was appointed, composed of Mesers, Gowiled Wolt, Rovers Schwend, Adam Leivacher, Charies | | Hinkel and Joseph Buerger, and a rojl of member- slip was made up, signed by those in attendance.

That the gold fields of French Guiana are being worked with success is a fact which only recently has Seen made known to the outside worla. On the 18th of December last a special despatch from Sat Lake City to the HERALD brought intelhgence that well founded rumors were circulating in that otty of vast yields in the French Guiana mines, and | wat @ party of miners had gone there. This intelli- gence was corroborated by the Sait Lake Heraid of December 9 as follows: — The excitement over French Guiana, the newly discovered kidorado, still continues unabated, Fif- teen or twenty miners nave recently leit thie city for that tropical region. Gola 1m unitmited quan- tities 18 said to exist there, with the bed rock only eight leet from the grass roots, and still pitching. As most of our readers understand, Frency Guiana is a penal colony, situated on the Atlantic slope, South America, about five degrees nortn of the Equator, The principal town, Cayenne, is located on an island, and contains a population of some 8,000 inhabitants—a mixture of natives, con- victs aud soldiers, Explorations have as yet only been pushed forward about seventy miles from the coast, and not over ten miies im any direc- tion from the shores of the navigable rivers, of which there are three in the colony. Auguste Marin, the principal explorer of the country and by whom the gold discovery was made, died near Cayenne on the 25th of June last. His explora- uons extended for a period of twelve years, and his death was regarded as a national calamity.

BXPLORATION. The intie party that set out from Salt Lake was piloted by a man who obtained his information jrom a company which organized in this city nearly two years ago. The operations of this com- pany have been conducted with great secrecy. Yesterday one of its members made to a HERALD reporter the annexed statement:— About twenty months ago one of the Brazilian steamship Company’s ships sailed from Wilming- ton, N.

Gold was ioand in fabu- lous quantities mixed with soi} in dust but a few inches below the surface and, theretore, easy of access, but no implements for collectung it could be obtained. | Satisfied with the prospect, the party returned to the schooner and set sail on the homeward pas- sage, but they were compelled to put into several ports for repairs, the vessel having Lighed aleak, | and did did not arrive here unti) April last. | In June & second expedition was made, the prac- | tical force being increased by Mr. Ely’s brother, an old miner, and by Mr. Smith, superintendent of the Davenport mine, This time the country bor- dering on the Sinamarie River was explored for | seventy miles, They found mining parties at in- tervais along the whole distance, who were REAPING RICH REWARDS very incomplete, the workmen being badly sup- plied with tools and conveniences for pursuing their operations, After spending a month in prospecting Ely and Smith leased 1,600 acres of land at a nominal rental, on which the latter established himself to retaim possession. Chriss- man givkened and died of billions lever, and the re- mainder of the party returned to New York, their object being to procure money, machinery and | tools wherewith to begin mining. Immediately after his arrival here Mr, Ely sailed for Europe to Captain Ankers bas forwarded to Smith shovels, picks, hose, a hydraulic machine for washing, &c., and the company 1s now await- ing Mr. Ely’s return to go on and begin the WORK IN EARNEST. Among those making these explorations were men who, fron years of mining experience, were Weil qualified to (orm a correct estimate of the value of tie mines, They report the prospect brighter than it ever was in Calitornia. orough | investigations revealed the existence of gold in Vast quantities, The small number of more enter- prising natives who are engaged in gathering the yellow ore are men without experience or the means of developing the resources of the mines. Since slavery was abolished in the colony busi- ness of all kinds has been steadily falling off, and Most of the plantattons are now abandoned. The inhabitants are too lazy to work. The principal, and, with the poorer class, sole article of food, is cassava, which grows without cultivation. The Boil and climate are favorable to agricuitural pur- suits, but the shiftless people prefer llving in indo- | § lence at the point of starvation rather than make @ fat living by tilling the ground. Very few cattle are raised. Salt beef and salt fish are supplied by France. bat the demand is hardly suficient to make the trade remunerative. | THE CLIMATE. Nine months in the year the weather is clear and the climate healthy, the thermometer averaging ber a storm of rain sets in and continues, with hittle abatement, for three months. The “wet period” is attended by its concomitants, colds and jevers, Many cases terminating fatally, simply be- cause the inhabitants are too lazy to take care of themselves. In the gold aistricts the country is mountain and well supplied with excellent water. Companies going to the mining regions will have to provide themselves with horses or mules to afford means of transportation. The cost of keep- ing these animais is trifling, as grass grows fa abundance andcorn and oats may be raised jor less than half of their value here. Conveyance down the rivers to Cayenne can be had on flat- boats. The company above relerred to will take from New York everything necessary for their purposes, and depend on the country they are going to for nothing but what they can raise’ from the ground. They revel in visions of quickly ac- quired weaith. THE CENTRAL PACIFIC RAILROAD, The California Legislature Questioning the Good Faith of the Company. SAN FRANCISCO, March 1, 1874, The Assembly has adopted a@ resolution to ap- point a committee of five to ascertain if the ven- tral Pacific Railroad has complied with the condt- tions of the act by which the State guaranteed the interest on one and a half millions of its bonds, I¢ is claimed the company has utterly failed to com- ply, except in one iustance, The committee ts not yet designated, A BROOKLYN PICKPOCKET ARRESTED.

Over $2,000 Already Raised in N. Protestants Combining with Catholics fia the Work, The second touching appeal of Bishop Corrigan for aid in lifting St. John’s chureh, of Orange. from *put into Bpiceeed metre under ite heavy load of debt, the pith of which, Spveared in yesterday's HERALD, was read in all ‘the Cathollc churches of the diocese yesterday, with an effect most encouraging to the reverend spiritual bead of the diocese himself, his clergy and hia lalty, At St. Patrick’s Cathedral, in Newark, very Kev. G. Hy Doane, Vicar General, read it before a very large Congregation, and added some remarks, He said St. Patrick’s committee had labored hard during the past week, and ne had reason to bulieve that its labors had been most encouragingly fruitful. By next Sunday he should be able to announce the sum total of the subscriptions. He announced that Mr. David O'Meara qwho isthe hasband of ex-Governor Hoffman’s niece) had given $1,000 to the cause. He said that one contributor in partic- = was deserving of special mention, aud that THE CONTRIBUTION OF MARY CLEARY. Mary occupies the position of housekeeper in the family of some New York geutieman, Que day she came to the Bishop’% residence in Newark to see the Bishop, She saw tue Vicar General in- stead, and said she had read in the HERALD that acuurch in New Jersey was about to be sold for debt, This she pEaed won!d not be done, and as an earnest of her sincerity planked down out of her hard earnings the handsome sum of $100, The mention of this case and of the O'Meara contribution occasioned quite an appro- bative buzz among the Cathearal congregation. Father Duane confessed that at first, owing to the condition of the times and the Jeepanaet of tue debt, he Was not in favor of attempting to save St. John's by subscriptions ; but the spirit. manifested by Mary Cleary and others had effected a complete change 1n his views, At the door of the Cathedral there was collected yesterday, itis reported, about $2,000, which ino ney is to be added to the St. John’s tund, to which | leading Protestants of Newark, as well as Catho- lic, have contributed, and are still contributing generously, St. James’ Temperance Society las alone contributed $1,000. The total amount sub- scribed in Newark already, outside of the $56,000 thrown off by the conditions, and the unreported | collections of the various parishes, 18 over $12,000, and the cry 19 still the subscriptions come. Alto- gether, in Spite of the hard times, the response to | shop Corrigan’s first appeal appears to have | een generous beyond the most sanguine expecta- ons.
