The first two days of this week have been kept sacred by the Sulian and bis Moslem subjects as the dnniversary of the Prophets’ birthday. The Sultan, attenged by a grand corcége of ministers aud palace oficials clad in brilliant uniforms and mounted on gorgeously caparisoned steeds, pro- ceeded to mosque, where the yearly reading of Monammed’s biography forms the principal devo- tional exercise of the occasion, After listening and meditating over the already well known incl» dents of the Prophet's lite the Sovereign and his suite returned to the palace and made holiday for the rest of the day. The usual liberal allowance of gunpowder was expended in repeated salvos at intervals ail through the day, aud at nigut skil- fully devised illumtnations traced out the gracerul outlines of tbe mosques and pabiic buildings and of His Majesty’s iroa-clads at anchor in front of his palace. ‘The absence at this moment of political compll- cations from abroad to harass the ministry, and the comparatively satisfactory footing on which the finances of the coautry have been placed for the time being, is affording the Porte a moment of leisure, which 1t wisely seems disposed to employ in the examination of questions touching Its in- ternal administration and In giving effect to meas- ures which will also tend toward the ‘1mprove- ment of the country. The new charter of the Im- perial Ottoman Bank has at last been brought into force, and that establishment nas definitely be- come the national bank of the Ottoman Empire. Aspecial commission, composed of Turks, ative Christian bankers and one of the directors of the imperial Ottoman Bank has beén appointed to ex- amine thoroughly and exhaastively the expendi- ture of the State and its revenues, and to report thereon, with a view to future expenditure or re- trenchments, and the budget, which is generally brought out in March, has oeen delayed this year from the desire of the government to submitevery Item to the closest scrutiny in order to arrive ata trustworthy result, RAILWAY INTERESTS IN TURKEY. Within the last few days a portion of the Roume- Man Railways has been conceded to the party, Which, 28 Mentioned last week, is in apparent op- position to Baron Hirsch.

A gicam of hope for the future is te be found also in the spirit which is beginning to develop itself in the Turkish press—that of looking disagreeable truths in the face. It is somewhat surprising to find in the columns of the official Turkish journal an article on the decrease of the Moslem population tn tuis Empire and its causes, Rightly enough the prevulence of infan- ticide, in all its stages, is one of the causes as- signed, for which, however, no more efficient remedy is suggested oy the writer than that the imams should aamonish and preach to the peopie in the mosques. Another cause, much less reason- able, is assignea—viz., the refuse drugs which dsurope pours into the country under the bead of ‘salutiferous medicines,” the writer, con- venveotly ignoring the fact that a Turk will only buy what be can have as “a oargain,” and that, consequently, the genuine article may rot on tne shelves, While the spurious cheap stuff is eagerly bought up, THE POPULATION OF TURKEY. The decrease of the Turkish population is well known toali who have resided for any length of time in the country, and is especially to be ob- ved tn tue rural districts. In my own knowl- edge, Villages that a few years ago were fairly flourisuing are now reduced to @ few miserable in- bavitants, their houses crumbled intoruins, while their lands are either left untilied from want of means O@ have passed into the possession of their Coristian feliow subjects, This question, althouga of such vitai importance to the Empire, has hitherto been entirely overiookead wy the govern- meat, and it ts a healthy sign that the Turk- ish press is now approaching the subject. Tt is to be hoped that the govern- ment, having the matter thus prominently brought betore their eyes, may be induced to in- quire seriously into its causes and effects. It can- not then fail to discover that the root of the evil springs from the fearful amount of petty oppres- sion and grinding down to which the poorer classes (more especially the agricultural) have been subjected during the long years of selfish and cruel misrale. It is calculated that eut of 100 kilos of grain whicha farmer produces one-third presumably belongs to the land which he oceu- pies, one-third to the labor he employs and one- third is his proit, Thus, if the seakon be favor- able, 33 kilos of grainin every 100 raised shouid be the farmer's profit, but out of this he has to give 12) for tthe, ana for other taxes perhaps 43g or 5g be- sides, thus reducing his met profit to some 16 kilos oat of every 100 raised. The very lite is crushed out of the people; they lose the energy to work or to wrestle with mis- fortune. No wonder, then, that, according to thelr lights, and out of merciful pity for their o1f- spring, they believe tnat an early grave isa better provision than a life of misery and privation un- der the paternal government, THE CATTLE DISRASE. Advices from the provinces of all parts of the Empire continue to furnish melancholy ac- counts of the ravages committed by the cattle aisease, Cattle and sneep are stili being swept away by thousands, ‘the return of spring and the Improved prospects of food having as yet ialied wo check the epidemic, The causes of tuts terrivio calamity are to bs tracea to the improvident sys- tem pursued by the farmers in general, who, as @ Tule, negiect to lay up a store of winter lodder jor their caltie, An espectally severe season Gave log deprived tuem of tueir accustomed means of Lourisnmeat, the amimais became reduced to Starvation poiat; disease folowed Haturaliy ta the train of amide and ionnd its victims wirenay #0 chicebled AS To be AnADIe to resist the ligutest attack.
