TURKEY. -: We have received Camitantinople journals and letters to the 38th ult., brought by the Indus. The intelligence of prated interest is the visit paid by the Sultan, as already mentioned by telegraph, to Admiral Lyons on board the Prism Albert, screw line-of-battle ship. This visit took place on the 28th. The Sultan was received at the foot of the accommedation Mier by the admiral, and entered the vessel ander the mod salute and three hearty cheers hem the crow who had manned the yards, while the band played the Ottoman national hymn. At the top of the ladder were amentbled the mi nisters and several high functionaries of the Porte, ,lArd Stratford de Radcliffe, all the star of the English swabsesy, mad the principal °dicers of the mandren. The vessel was dreesed out in Sags, and the deck fitted up for the visit in such a manner m to present a most maguifloent coup Asa The Sultan visited the vessel in every part, and was more particularly struck by the machinery by which the screw is worked. After remaining on board nearly an hoar, the Sultan again entered his barge under another salute of 21 guns and a renewal of the cheers. The salute wee returned by the batte ries on shore. During the stay of the Sultan on board the Prince Albert, he announced to Lord Stratford the conoeseion of a piece of ground for the building of a protestant Mittel and hospital at Pees, for which a large Pura has already, it is said, been subscribed in England. • OONITANTINOIiLk Yawn M.

If the Turkish government would may bestow mere care the military education the oilers, the Turkish army might - before long be placed pi s of equality with any other in Hamper; for the sh private soldier, the man of the rank and file, is good, cheerful, and obedient, seen entering into and comprehending the service; but the officers of the Turkish army, for the most part, are devoid both of military and civil education. His Majesty the Sultan lately expressed a wish to visit the British Admiral's ship, the Royal Albert. Every preparation was at once made; all the cer tain of the British squadron were ordered to appear in full uniform on board the flag ship. Lord Stratford and the whole of his suite in court due.; Reschid Pula, the grand visier; Mehmed Ali Pacha, the minister of marine; EthemPacha, the minister of foreign affairs; and Omer Pacha, also repaired to the ship About 11 o'clock to-day a salute of 21 guns proclaimed the Sultan's arrival. The admiral, Lord Lyons, received his Majes ty at the bottom of the step-ladder below the ship 's side, and as soon as the royal personage reached the upper deck, the band struck up the Im perial hymn. After making a tour of the decks, the Sultan expressed his delight at the beauty of the vessel. The band played several piers in succession, and, as a finale, " Ood save the Queen." At noon, after expressing to Lord Lyons his extreme eatisfaction, the Sultan took his leave amid the hurrahs of the seamen,who had dressed the ship, and with the same salute of one-and-twenty guns. The Royal Albert is the first foreign ship-of-war that a Turkish sove reign has ever planted his foot upon. This evening, at half-past five o'clock, the English squadron raised anchor, and steered away in the direction of the Sea of Manama. The squadron consists of the Royal Albert; the Curacao and Vulture, both of which are frigates; the Swallow, which is a corvette ; and two limbers, the Wrangler and the Vigilant They are all towed for Malta, but have to touch at Berke Bay, Satyrs% and Syr& Only . one insii.of-war remains behind, the Coquette : it is a gunboat, and intended to be s It is rid tha t English residents here IMO rather sessmialbed by the tabkata vivant* whisk they saw masainted at a party given by the -amensobarateft Wainteday.

MAICH 30. To-day the English fleet leaves the Dardanelles. The bankers here have again been induced to make aWA to the Sublime Porte. As the bank is not yet is fall operation they have advanced 16 millions et piastre, for the war department and 30 millions for the treasury. It was announced last year that an English mining company had been formed to work all the mimes of the Ottoman empire . but we think the project must have hybernated, and has not yet shaken Wits winter lethargy. A Frenchman !as come here and offered the Sultan a private lota et 120 millions of francs upon condition of having a firman granted to him that shall empower him to work every mine in the Turkish em pire. The following arc the conditions which the Frenchman proposes to the Sultan :—He is to pay his Majesty 30 millions down, upon receiving the finnan in question; another 30 millions at the end of six months ; then 30 millions more at the end of a year, and the remainder at the expira tion of 18 months, each of which terms is to com mence from the date of the firman itself. lie them undertakes to work every mine yielding a profit, and from the profits he will set apart six per cent. as interest for the loan, and another percentage to form the sinking fund. He requires the concession to be for 60 years, and the net profits are to be shared between the company and the Turkish government. Now, since the loan of 120 millions must eventually be paid by the mines, we cannot conceive that these mines will yield, for the first five years, a profit more than enough to cover the working expenses and neces sary outlay. The company, therefore, would have to contract a new debt of at least 60 millions of francs to pay the interest on the 120 millions form ing the private loan aforesaid. Many queer people are arriving here at this time, and nearly all of them hare some polite proposition or another to make to the Sublime Porte. M. Val macini, the Master of the Ceremonies at the Court of Vienna, has come with a project for the formation of a railway from this capital to Belgrade. In the council, which held a sitting to da mn this Project, one of the members exclaimed: " I think it rather odd that all the railways in the Austrian empire should be mold to Frenchmen and Englishmen, and that an Austrian official should come here now, and ask us for a concession of this nature." M. Valmacini does not talk about any conditions, all he wants is the grant ; and the Aus trian government is to take care of the rest. But where is Austria to find the capital ? seeing that she wishes to drive French and English competitors out of the field, or at least the latter; for I have just learnt that M. Valmacini is negotiating with the young Frenchman who wants to lend the Sultan 120 millions of francs. Perhaps both are imbued with the idea, that if once they , can get the &tuns, shareholders will soon be running to join them, from every part el the world. You may remember how bat year, on the premises of a Mesh merchant, in Saloom, 300 barrels of gunpowder exploded, and that Skalizsi, the rare chant, was arrested immediately. At the request of the Barka Ambassador this man has been now set at liberty, but on the 'Audition of his quitting Turkey. 'The pardon is very gracious indeed, for it is =deniable that the powder was bought far insur rectionary purposes; and the Turkish government does not seem to have thought of the indemnity that ought to have been g iven to the owners of the 300 houses that were destroyed by the conflagration which the explosion gave ries to. But those poor people have no grandee to protect their interests. SOUTH AUSTRALIA. The overland advioes frail fhb; colony, from which we made some extracts yesterday, are, on the whole, of a gratifying character. South Australia, less favoured than Victoria and New South Wake in mineral wealth, is pursuing a career of steady progress, and enters on the twentrfirst year of her colonial existence under circumstances mast encou raging. The colony has to a considerable extent re covered from commercial depression ; has imported moderately, exported largely beyond all precedent, and upon the heels of a good harvest is gathering in a better still. In the single article of wool we notice that the exports have 'named from 13,000 to nearly 20,000 bales within the last three years. The public revenue of the colony ohms the general improvement. The ordi nary revenue of 1858 wa0206,0091., vaimt 181,324/. for 1865, and this without any a ddi tion et tams The Increase islistributed over nearly all the Sens asking . up the aggregate ordinary revenue ; the year's me upon Comoros only anooneding to 22,6341. of which 13,2461. is credit to the We quarter of 1868. The Pest-oillos revenue in 1856 amounted to 8,9261., against 7,8411. in the year Meat Fines, foss, a n d f or f e it ures o f court amounted 7,7401. in 1868, against 6,7801. in 1865. Fran the (holm; Tramway them was an excess of receipts in the last year, ea compared with the year before, l amounting to 1,3781. The Lad fund revenue approaches, on the year, very nearly the amount realised in 1855, and oa the last quarter it exceeds that of the quarter corre sponding. The land Naha in 1866 amounted to 240,0381., and in 1868 to 231,0231., showing a falling off is the twelve menthe amounting to 9,0161. The of the sales of the last quarter of 1868 were L rc ,OV, against 00,9811. of the corresponding quarter of 1835, showing an increase on the quarter just made up of 3,0901. The rents of crown lands amounted in 1838 to 19,8681., agaiast 18,0881. in 1866, giving an increase to the fast year of 3,3701. The total land revenue from all sources was 250,9911. in the year 1838, against 258,348/. in the year 1865, leaving a deficit of 7,3571. in the year last ended. Its concluding quarter, however, shows a net increase on all the items amounting to 4,0111. The expenditure chargeable to ordinary revenue was, for the year 1856, 231,8731., against 274,4951. of the year preceding. This shows • decrease of 42,6221. upon the year. The land fund expenditure amounted to 167,320 f. in 1836, against 158,1681. in 1854, showing an increase of 9,1521. upon the year. The balanco-sheet of the colony . on the Ist of January, 1857, presented the following result:—On the debtor side of the account—Balance of ordinary revenue, 46,41 W.; land fund, exclusive of amount in the hands of the Emigration Commis sioners, 217,5151. ; Agent-Oeneral, 88,7261. ; and other smaller items, making up 374,1581. Front this has to be deducted 44,4131., due to the treasurer on loan account, being excess of expendi ture above amount realised by the sale of bonds, leaving a Anal balance, irrespective of the amounts held by the Land and Emigration Commiesionere of 329,7441. This sum is distributed as follows :—Cash in the hands of trimmer, 130,849/. • cash balance in hands of South Australian Bank ing Company in England, 19,3511.; cash invested by treasurer in South Australian Railway and other securities, 173,0001.; advances to be repaid, 6,5131. It will hence be seen that South Australia still possesses available capital to a considerable extent for carrying forward useful reproductive works, although not sufficient for railways and other gigantic projects. On the political and soeial state of the colony, the Adelaide Observer of Feb. 7 remarks : We have signalised our emenelpation from distant rule, and have been commended by the Queen's ministers for the able warmer in which we have framed for onreelree • new eenshtutke.

The country is rapidly passing under the plough, and the development Of its lines of communication in receiving at the hand. of both people end government that attention which the importance of the subject demands. To the chime of education and religion the colonists were never more olive than et the present mo ment ; nor was there ever • greater degree of good fellow ship and right feeling between the various members of the community. The per 1866 has ended well. With is de parture many old here end doubts have departed ; and al though—in common with every year la the history of man kiad—it has ice dark spots, it has certainly bequeathed a legacy of bright hopes to its successor. We therefore take our farewell of 1856 with gratitude, and in entering upon the einknown path of 1867, push forward with cheerfulness and courage, not doubting of the result. On the new and important discoveries of gold and copper, some account of which we gave yesterday, the same journal ohms: Than of ns who are old enough as colonist. to recollect the dull times which receded the discovery of the Burn Burrs Mine, sad to amidst* the marvellous commercial results of that discovery, may possibly trace some points of resemblanor In our purest cendition, and and some grounds for hope in the chnornetenom which are transpiring around us. It is true that the commercial audition of the colony is Infinitely superior to that which charecteriesd the three or lbw years preceding the discovery of the raisers' wealth of the Bons. It is equally true that no similar discovery could now product the mote palpable and wide-spread effect. that were the consequences of that timely unfolding of the riches of the earth. Our sources of wealth are now too numerous In comparison with those available then ; our mercantile operations are conducted on too broad a bads; and our general industry ends too many Bads for employment, to render it possible that any one new labour geld ,or wealth supplying comes could revolutionise our whole social condi tion. The discovery of a gold field equal in extent end rich. nem to the most flourishing of the Victorian diggings would scarcely produce so greet an excitement or so marked • change now, as the discovery of the Bans Mine did • dorm year ago. It cannot, however, be denied that times have been dull here lately, nor that men are looking out somewhat anxiously for new openings for enterprise, and new attractions for labour. We are doing a eteady and • profitable business; but, with the restless spirit of enterprise which necemartly chru-seterises colonists, we want novelty and excitemeat. Naturally, too, we do not wish to be left behind by our neighbours in he nice for wealth and power ; and, then/ore, would &city welcome any enlarged development of oar natural resources which would tend to counterbalance the enormous advantage of gold labia. Hence the pleasure with which we welcomed the intelligence of new discoveries of copper in the north, and the satidaction we have experkmeed in Ending that quartzrects have been laid bare, in dis tricts that have been mentioned to us, sufficiently rick in gold to pay hodeourely for crushing. We were favoured en Wednesday with an impaction of a quantity of gold, weighing about 9 oz., the product, as we were informed,of only 20 bucket' full of quartz. The whole quantity of the mineral had been raised in • single day; but as the apparatus for mashing it was of tbo rudest description, considerably more time had been consumed in *miming the rock and extract ing the precious metal. The party in possession of the gold assured na that with proper appliances they had no doubt of being able to obtain fifty 011210011 of gold to every ton of quartz of the same richness with that on which they have been operating. We feel It ormestury to add that the party referred to have exhausted the specially rich vein of quartz on which they bad the good fortune to bit, and have not since found anything equal to it.

All the prestige of • ball drew I. in its novelty—its freshness. A lady who drags the same dress with her to every ball does not understand the science of high coquetry; the some remark applies to walk ing -dresses. True elegontre are always on the look-out for hereafter ; bargains may be found at sales of eilks and . pop lin., where these materials may be bad at half their engine] cost, so that an ef,pente has two dreams for one. The Lux • embourg show-rooms offer at the present time this happy opportunity. But it is not enough to have a poplin or silk dress; there is the trimming to be thought of. The sign of the Beware, of course, at once suggests itself to the mmd. Here will be found all kinds of fashionable fringes, edgings, that give to a poplin a rich, dressy appearance. Trimming gives the value to a dress; a dress without ornament is a common article. Muslin or aerial gauze ruches are very diaphanous for ball dresses. The Plantar( gathers only tasteful flowers. She has also pearl fringes, because pearls have achieved a great anemia in trimming. Even the opera glasses of Hinnies cover themselves with black jet, curs !poses pearls, and emeralds. Coquetry was never more ingenious. Pearl opera glasses make a great effect at the theatre. It is • new style that has a great suffer, because it is adopted by the leaders of fash ion . Opera glans' in owed wood or toys are also held in high esteem. It is, in fact, no longer poisible to go to the theatre or • concert with one of those old ivory machines without being eat down as the inheritor of one's grandfather's opera glees. One must follow the fashion—progress; one must advance with the ago. Plate, for inetence, is no longer the enjoyment of the fortunate of the earth; the Mefistoffe plate has spread luxury and comfort through all classes of society, no that now the most modest home is served upon its brilliant surface. The most brilliant fortunes have also seen the advantage of the Metleofie plate. The interest on Over doubles and triples its coat; and now that all people calculate and look after dieconnts, the rich find that money invested with Mefietofie is well spent.

THE 117771D111121 lIILINOTON.-(THIS DAY.) - This mornin , Mr. G. T. Brent, the depnty corona, held the Riled this morning at the Marqtus of Salisbury, Freslinvintet, Caledonian-road, Islington, re 'Tooting the death of Mr. James Scott, aged 33 years, a master baker, resisting in Freeling-street, caused by • man named Tripp, residing in Gifford-street, in the same locality, who stabbed the deceased with • sword or bayonet, and who is in custody, under remand, awaiting the result of the in quest. The inquest-room was crowded by personal friends and acquaintances of the deceased. 't he evidence which was given on a former occasion at the Clerkenwell Police Court, was repeated. After hearing further evidence in detail, the coroner mimed up the we, The jury retained a verdict of " Wilful murder against Rebore RAW= Tripp," and the usual warrant in such ewes was made out. I.lpoaeate of the police searching the room occupied by bs found, amongst some hay in a box, the skull, blade, and other bones, forming part of a female eksbeles, apparently about middle age. There are also por tlier of • bonnet, ahawl, dress, and other articles of female m appreL 'Those things were in the inquest-room, and created ot sessatics. This assr sad unexpected discovery has caused consider able alarm and excitement throughout the whole locality. THE LATE a:az:Aar mummy NEAR - I,iiithaT The coroner's inquiry into the ctrenmstanees of this explosion, by which no less then ISO persons have lest their lives, was resumed before Mr. Badger at the Brampton Bull's Head Inn on Thursday, when Dlr. Joseph Coe, the viewer and underground manager of the colliery, was examined. Mr. Morton, the Government Impeder of Mines, the proprietors, and other gentlemen were present, as at previous sittings. The inquiry has now occupied seven days, during which forty-seven witnesses have been examined. The details of this lamentable occurrence having already appeared in the E.rprets, it ia only now necessary to advert to the evidence of Mr. Joseph Coe, the viewer, whose examination lasted upwards of Pee hours. This gentleman, who had the entire control and supervision of the under groundworkinge, waste the pit on the day preceding the ex plosion and made a minute examination of the whole of the north side, which he found to be well ventilated, quite free from gas, and in the beet working order. With one or two exceptions this favourable condition of the pit was de posed to by all the 'rimming. On being asked whether he could form any opinion u to the cause of the explosion, the witness said he wan utterly at a loss to account for it, but that he had formed a notion (which was, however, merely hypothetical) that it was possible after the lower roof had fallen, that the stronger roof above might have given way, and th us liberated large quantities of gases, which would explode on contact with the nearest naked light. He did not think the ventilation by trepdoore an efficient mode, and considered double doors safer than single ones. He also thought that all mines in the Barnsley district ought to tie worked exclu sively with safety lamps, and expressed hie opinion that the mode of getting coal throughout the district wig the meet wretched and dangerous within his knowledge. At the con clusion of Mr. Cue s evidence the inquest was adjourned to the 30th inst. The Manehreder GUerd ian of this morning says:—" D= s the last day or two the operations at Lundbill have ea • different aspect, in consequence of the escape of • large quantity of noxious gee which had buoyed up the water, and the consequent sudden fall of the latter to the extent of upwards of 12 feet. So that elite* Saturday bat the entire fall of water will be nearly 30 feet. The tact of this unexpected lowering will be that in soma days at most, a search will be conimonced for the bodies. Thos only indication of the escape was • rushing noise, the gsa forcing itself through the water with great rapidity. The men descended yesterday (Friday), at two o'clock, to the water°e edge, and found that they were only about two bet from the &air which is embedded in a quan tity of coal, wood, at the bottom. By this (Saturday) evening, it is expected that the pit will bo unroofed ; so that the ventilation and communication between the upeast and downcast shafts will be opened. This is considered to be a lime of danger, as it is by no means quite clear that the Ike is subdued. So that should there be any burning matter• left, the sudden entrance of atmospheric air might result in— • second explosion. The greatest precautions, therefore, in. the event of anything of the sort taking place, hove been_ made. Yesterday morning • quantity of timber was brought, out from the water's edge by the men who went down. In. the water drawnout during the day, several pieces of clothing were brought up. The fans for exhausting the foul air mitt of the cupola abaft are hard at work, and so explosive and.l dangerous is the gas they draw out, that the engine fires./ distant some twenty yards from the place, are covered, when the wind is in certain directions, so ex to prevent any danger of an explosion. A large member of persons visited the place yesterday." ANOTHER MURDER AT LIVERPOOL.—LIVERIVO L, FRIDAY.—An inquest was held yriterday on the body of John Kilduff, a dock labourer, residing m a court off N ew Bird-street, who died in the Southern Hospital, on Wed, , co . day Lot, from a fracture on the skull. From the evident eof the widow of the deceased, it appeared that a man no jam Patrick Kilroy resided in their house, and some arras .re of rent being due were demanded, which caused Kilroy 6 o feel offended, and he was heard to sa_y_he would ham blot 4 be fore twelve o'clock that night. While Kilduff was pre "why. for bed, Kilroy and another man came to his doer, as of s o ul; me of an opprobrious epithet, and hid themselves in the entry, and on Kilduff's going to the door, Kilroy fe nod him with a piece of timber five feet long, from the effects, of which he died. The jury returned • verdict of Wilful murder," and the prisoner was committed to Walton Gaol.
