WHAT HE SAYS OF THE NEW SULTAN. He says the new Sultan, Murad Edfendi, is not a man of strong character, but one who possesses fair abilities. He is greatly influenced by his younger brother, Ahmed, whose spirit and courage often cowed or awed the late Sultan, 118 EDUCATION AND MODE OF LIVING. Murad Effendi is fairly educated. He speaks French. He has been used to poverty and economy in his mode of living and expenditures, and will, therefore, not oppose retrenchment in the outlay of the nation.

The three Powers which lately con- ferred in Berlin must give time to the new Sultan to initiate his reforms. RUSSIAN INFLUENCE RECEIVES A GREAT BLOW. Prince GortschakoiT has been counter-checked in his diplomatic gaiae by fate, fur the Turkish revolu- tion is a great biow to Russian influence in the East.

Ladyk Pacha, Turkish Ambassador in Paris, had not received the oficial announcement of his new appointment, as Finance Minister in Constantinople, this evening. _ HOPE OF BONDHOLDERS. ‘The holders of Turkish bonds eagerly desire its arrival. POINTS OP DANGER. The new Sultan's chief danger arises from his being a Caliph—a sovereign suspended between heaven and earth, but one who cannot personally Interfere in the affuirs of either. SPIRITUAL AND TEMPORAL CHIEFS. His Imperial Majesty delegates the spiritual power to thé Sheik-ul-Islam and the temporal power to the Grand Vizicr, but he does not govern himself. . A STRONG MINDED REFORMER WANTED. There will be no permanent good in the govern- ment system of Turkey until a strong willed, inde- pendent Sultan is found to break through prece- dents and factions and personally govern the coun- try.

Panza, May 31, 1876, ‘The European Powers havo not yet recogvized Murad a8 Sultan, but will doubticss do so shortly. 1t appears probable that the negotiations relative to the insurrection will be suspended until it is known whether Murad will initiate reforms of his own accord, ENGLISH HISTORY OF THE REVOLUTION—THE POPULAR MOVEMENT IN CONSTANTINOPLE. Loxpox, Jane 1, 1876. The Standard’s Vienna despatch says the accounts of the revolution in Constantinople are very conflicting The majority of the reports, however, agree as to the following particulars :— The Ministers assembled on Monday afternoon at the residence of the Grand Vizier and discussed the state of public affairs. They concluded that unicss some remedial measures were adopted universal rebellion and a general collapse of the State would result. A resolution was adopted embodying these views, and a petition to the Sultan was drawn up Praying him to abdicate in order to save the country, The Sultan received the petition with affected com- posure and said he would consicer the matter. ‘THR PEOPLE AND THR BOPTAS MOVIXG, On Teesday morning there wasa great etirin the streets, The trade guilds, the firemen, the water draw- ers and water carriers, headed by the softas, formed a procession and marched to the Sultan's palace unop- posed by the military, who were apporenily unpro- vided with orders bow to act in case of such an emer gency. During its progress the procession was in- creased by thousands. ’ ss AT THR PALACE” The palace was guarded by mounted polico, who did Not interfere with the crowd, although the cries were raised of “Down with Abdul Aziz!

A MOST RXTRAORDINARY, CASE. The facts in this case, which make it one of the most remarkabio in the annals of crime, are bricfly as fol- lows:— On the 234 of Fobruary last a letter camo to the Post OMce in the Junction road, Kentishtown, N. W., London, addressed to “M. Q’? No one called for it, and it remained until the end of March, when it was returned to the General Fost Office, There, in the Dead Letter Office, it was opened in tno usual course, and the clerk who read it thought it his duty to bring it undor the notice of his superiors, who, owing to its peculiar nature, sent it to the Commissioners of Police, CRIMINAL INTENT, This letter, which was signed ‘W. K. V.’’ was evi- dently a portion of a correspondence betwecn tho ‘writer and some person who had applied to him to supply a poison in order to destroy life, and that lifo was to be destroyed in such a way that there should be no Coroner's inquest, and that any will made by the person so destroyed should not be invalidated. POLICH INVESTIGATION, The police authorities took charge of the cage, and the resalt was the arrest of the two prisoners, From the investigations that havo subsequontly been held it appears that the female prisoner, Helen Smee, inserted an advertisement in the London Daily Tele- groph to the effoct that a gentleman engaged inan in- teresting experiment was willing to give liberal re- muneration to ® medical man or student well up in chemistry for profossional assistance. To this the male prisoner responded and furnished various poisons, with full and explicit directions for their use Mrs, Smeo statea to the polico when arrested that she did not intend to harm anyono or to commit murder; she intended tho drags for her, self, and added, “I only intended to bave the drugs in readiness, as I have ween very ill und weak, that T might have used them in case I was ill again. I have been very lonely since my husband left me.’ : THE CHAROE AGAINST THX PuIgONER, ‘The Attorney General, in opening the caso to-day, said the substantial charge was that Mrs, Helen Smeo had resolved to commit suicide, and that Witham Kempton Vance had feloniously conspired to aid her. The trial is progressing. "CHANGE MORE CONFIDENT, Tho Stock Exchange to-day is nearly deserted dn account of its boing ‘‘Derby Day,” but prices are frm at about yesterday's average.

During the trip the weather was delightfal, and their Imperial Majesties greatly enjoyed the beauti- ful scenery along the route. Tennessee and Virginia especially won from them words of generous ad- miration. The Empress especially was delighted with the fruitful valleys and glimpses of the verdure-clad mountains, which Her Majesty satd recalled vividly remembrances of Brazil. The tomb of Jefferson was pointed out to His Ma- Jesty, who mantfested great interest in the restung Place of the illustrious statesman. AS we swept through Virginia the battle flelds of the war were pointed out to the Emperor. Fortu- nately, very few traces of the struggle remain. Here and there the ruins of entrenchments meet the eye, but they are fast disappearing before the plough, which on all sides is reassorting its suprem- acy over the sword. On the arrival of their Majesties at the Baltimore and Potomac station they were met by Sefior Bor- ghes, the Brazilian Minister, and several attachés of the legation. After the exchange of the usual courtesies their Majesties drove to the Arlington Hotel, where quar- ters had been tastefully fitted up for them.
