A BILL "To AMEND THE LAW RELATING TO RAILWAY COMPANIEN."—A bill, which has just been sent up to the House of Lords, " to amend the law relating to ntilway companies," is severely condemned in the City article of the Times. This bill, which affects 400 millions of property, proposes that in,olvent railways should, under certain circumstances, be sold to the highest bidder after a notice in the lia:ette, and that such sale should absolutely cancel not only the entire claims of all the original share holders, but likewise the claims of all the preference holden, as well as of every creditor that may not be covered by the sum realised. "After the specimens fur nished during the last three years," says the Times, " of the way in which the ',roulette tribe manage the getting up of combinations, the result that would attend the forced sale in the open market of such concerns as the Chatham and Dover with 12 millions of capital, or the Great Eastern with 25 millions, may be easily conceived. A knot of astute operators would manage the whole affair, and afterwards use it to foist all sorts of new and appa rently attractive proposals, at preposterous terms, upon the ever-ready credulity of the public. Apart from its in herent want of even a rudimentary touch of equity, • scheme more calculated to answer the future purposes of the harpies by whom the investing public are at all times liable to be preyed upon could not be devised. Yet the measure has actually passed the Commons without any public discumrion, and now awaits the sanction of the Lords and of the Crown to become law. The only hope is I that, although it hes not been thought worth an hour's debate in the House of Commons, it will be thoroughly argued in the Lords, under a sense that, however • legislature or a people may evade for a time any inconve nient moral responsibilities, such conduct is as inherently culpable on she part of a state as of an Individual, and just as certain sooner or later to bring its appropriate reward." __ GREAT NORTHERN RAILWAY.—Tho March and Spalding extension of this company has been examined by Captain Tyler, one of the government inspectors of rail ways, and goods traffic has been commenced upon it. It is stated that passenger traffio will be commenced on the section on the 15th inst. The opening of the section from Doncaster to Gainsborough is now enabling the company to -ork coal traffic over the loop line, to the relief of the main line, which has of late years beensomewbat overdone with traffic. THE Infait RAILWAYS. —A meeting of the noble- men and gentlemen representing the Irish railway interest, in communication with a committee of the cabinet. had • meeting at Lord Clanricarde's on Saturday. Several questions which had been put by the President of the Board of Trade in reference to the scheme submitted to the government had to be considered. They related to competing lines which hereafter might be promoted, the reduction of fares, the disposal of profits, if any, and principally the pecuniary responsibility which Ireland would undertake in furtherance of the scheme. Replies in writing to these quastions were agreed upon, but it was resolved that the details of the proceedings should not be made public at present. —Sunday Gazette. Suericious Daara.—On Saturday evening Mr.' W. J. Payne, the Deputy Coroner for London and South wark, held an investigation at the Rose and Crown. White friars, on the body of a man, name unknown, who was found in the River Thames, near Blackfriars-bridge. The jury having been sworn, proceeded to view the body, which presented a frightful spectacle. Thames police-constable James Morrisey said that on Saturday morning he searched the body of the deceased. The left and right pockets were turned out. Witness found in one pocket four lettere, three of which were three years old, ! and one had come from Australia. Mr. Brookes ' surgeon, of Fleet-street, deposed that he examined the body soon after the discovery. He had beer. in the water about three days. Deceased was sun-burnt 'from travel ling. There WAR a blow on the nose which might have been inflicted by a blunt instrument. From certain facts connected with the body witness be lieved that death had taken place before the body wee contracted. The legs were tied tightly together with a plaid scarf. Witness believed that the legs had been tied' together by some person after death, or while the deceased was dying. Upon witness sounding the man's chest he was led to believe that the deceased had not died from drowning. Witness thought that from appearances the death was more consonant with foul play than with suicide. After the medical evidence the coroner said it would be as well to adjourn the inquest to enable the police to make inquiry, and for the doctor to make a post market examination of the body. The court wee then accordingly adjourned. ROYAL FRISS HOSPITAL, GRAY'S-/Mf-ROAD.—The number of patients relieved at this hospital during the week ending 6tb July was 3,525, of which 1,155 were sew wee. DENMARK. COPENHAGEN, JULY 6.

Since the departure of the regular mail on the 19th instant parliamentary business has been rapidly proceeding, the two principal subjects discussed being the voluntary principle and responsible government. A bill to abolish state grants in aid of religion, after an animated de bate, pissed its second reading by a majority of five; and after another animated discussion, a resolution, declaring that the time had arrived when it was both expedient and desirable to adopt the principle of responsible government, was negatived by a majority of 29 votes to a minority of 22. The government scheme for abolishing the two houses existing, and substituting a single house consisting of 18 elective members, to be chosen by six electoral circles and three executive officers, is to be proposed by way of resolution next week. The natives convicted at the recent state trials and sentenced to long terms of imprisonment have just been liberated by command of his excellency the governor. No intelligence of importance with regiod to the hostili ties between the Orange flee state and the %autos has been received rinse the departure of the last mail.

TILE FATE OF The Moniteur of yesterday contains the fol lowing : The crime of regicide, of which Mexico has made herself guilty, against the person of the Emperor Maximilian, is not the first deed of the kind which has been perpetrated in that unhappy country. In less then half a century, and since it, so-called independence, the ancient Spanish viceroyalty, so prosperous and so tranquil under the government of the mother-country, has three times stained its soil with the blood of the chiefs of its govern ment. In 1824 the Emperor Iturbide was shamefully deli. eared up and shot at Tampico, and in 1829 President Cate rers, basely betrayed for • sum of money, suffered a like fate at Acapulco. But whatever interest may attach to the memory of these two per.oneges, nothing in their origin or in their Urea is comparable with the illustrious victim whose fatal destiny the entire universe will learn with horror. A descendant of that glorious Emperor Charles V., in whose reign Ferdinand Cortez and his bold companions founded the Mexican monarchy, the Euiperur Maximilian. Archduke of Austria, formerly the lieutenant of his brother the Em peror; Francis Joseph in the kingdom of Londardo-Venetia, brought up ac cording to modern ideas, and in the continual habit of governing, seemed • prince designated by pro vidence to create in the new world • dynasty worthy of his house, and of the sovereigns who hastened to recog nise him from the moment of his accession to the throne. For fifty years Mexico had been a prey to the mold horrible anarchy, acts of pillage and civil war. He who wished to consecrate his efforts to pacifying the country, filling up the abyss of revolutions, restoring order, and endea vuuring to render happy a country so favoured by heaven —this monarch, betrayed by one of his subjects' whoiu he had loaded with benefits, has fallen under the bullets of assassins. The details of the act of regicide committed on ' the 19th of June are not yet known, but those of the set of treachery of the 15th of May have reached Europe. The Emperor had been two months and a half at Quere taro, at the head of 8,000 men, commanded by Generals Miramon : Blender, Castillo, Avellano, the Prime de Salm (chief of the imperial staff), and several European ' officers. On the very night that it had been seen that the town was no longer tenable, sad that it was decided to attempt, by a vigorous sortie, to break through the lines of tee dissident leaders Corona and Esoobedo, and retire either to the city of Mexico or towards the Gulf, • man—we dare not say a colonel—to whom was en trusted the guard of the fortified convent of Santa Cruz, which commands the whole position, the man I Lopez, for 3,000 ounces of gold, gave silent passage to the enemy, and himself pointed out to them the person of the'Emperor, surprised in the middle of his sleep. In vain did General Miramon attempt to resist; he fell grievously wounded, and the imperial army, surrounded unawares by superior forces, was obliged to capitulate. We shall know in • few days by what show of judicial forms the murder of theEmperorblaximilian— accomplished by Juarez' orders--was preceded. The Emperor Ferdinand Maximilian, second brother of Francis Joseph, Emperor of Austria, was born at Schoenbrunn on the 6th of July, 1102, and married, July 27th, 18117 , the Princess Charlotte, daughter of ling Leopold, then hardly 17 years old, whose double misfortune now excites the sympathy dell hearts. On two occasions the archduke was the guest of France — in and in 1864; and everyone wail enabled to ap preciate his chivalrous character, his solid and varied attainments, and his precious personal qualities. After long and difficult negotiations, skilfully directed by the valiant and lamented M. Gutierrez de Estrada, the prince, on the 10th April, 1864, accepted, with the assent of his august brother, the crown which had been offered him on the 3rd October, 1863, at the castle of Miramar, by the commission despatched to him by the seaenibly of notables, who met at Mexico, and who brought him the result of the vote of the Mexi can population. A few days afterwards the Emperor and the Empress Charlotte left Trieste on board the Austrian frigate Novara. They landed at Vera Cruz, on the 24th of May, and made their entry into their ca pital on the 12th of June, 1864, amid unanimous 'acclama tions. During the space of three years the Emperor Maximilian did not cease to occupy himself with the reor ganisation of his empire, and by means of numerous jour neys through the country he had acquired an exact ac quaintance with the wants of the provinces. and these wants his government neglected no means to satisfy. On the sth of February last the Emperor placed himself at the head of his army, and left Mexico to encounter the Juarists, who were in the northern provinces. It is there that the crime was consummated. Its punishment cannot doubtless be long delayed, and Mexico would be but too happy if she should disappear from the number of independent nations, and find herself ab sorbed by powerful neighbours. But the hour is not yet come. Her history since 1810 explains her present state and her future. The division which already exists among the ambitious bravos of Juarez will drown the country in blood, and assume terrible proportions, every element of civil power will be destroyed, armed bands will devastate the country, and impose contributions on the towns. COURT MOURNING FOR THE EMPEROR MAXI NUJ/tn.—A Supplement to the London Gazette of Friday gives the following directions for court mourning:—"Lord Chamberlain's Office, July 6, 1867.—Orders for the court's going into mourning to-morrow, the 7th inst., for his late Majesty the Emperor of Mexico, viz. :—The ladies to wear black silk, fringed or plain linen, white gloves, necklace, and ear-rings, black or white shoes, fans, and tippets.

He was disabled by • paralytic stroke about two months since, in consequence of which be resigned the Ake of examiner to the College of Surgeons. He recovered in some degree from the attack, but a few days since he had a relapse, and died on Friday at his residence in Whitehall-place, aged eighty-three. e are sorry to learn from a trustworthy source, that the indisposition of Lord Justice Turner continues. Fears are entertained that his lordship may not be able to Mt again before the long vacation. We sincerely trust, both on bin lordship's account and that of the public, that he may be speedily restored to health. In the present state of the chancery appeal business we can ill afford the delay which his absence occasions. The Sunday Gazette states that it is decided by the government that the appointment to the post of Deputy Inspector-General of Irish Constabulary shall he made from among the officers of the force and on the re commendation of the Inspector-General. This is in *acced ence with the suggestion of the committee of the Trea sury, by which the organisation of the body was investi gated a year or two since. Towards the close of last week, while the royal household and domestics were at prayers in the private chapel at Windsor Castle, one of the pages, a young man, suddenly rushed from his seat into the aisle, and ex claimed with great energy, " It's all a mystery," or words to a similar effect He then ran from the chapel, hut was secured, and it was found that the poor fallow had gone mad.

Since the Mexican war of independence, in 1821, there have been only two governments in th e unhappy country on our south-west border against which Santa Anne has not headed an insurrection. Those two are Maximilian's and his own. He led the revolution which compassed the overthrow of Iturbide ; rebated against Pediaze in the interest of Guerrero ; against Guerrero in the interest of Bustamente ; against Bustamente as an ally of his old enemy Pedro= ' and after holding the Presidency himself for several terms, went into exile in Cuba in ISt5. He got back to Mexico by cheating the American government into the belief that he would favour the independence of Texas ; but no sooner had be reached his capital than he raised his voice for war, and on the tide of national enthusiasm which the prospect of hostilities aroused, he was Seidel into the residency. The choice of another as his successor in this office while be was in the field against Scott and Taylor he overruled by the strong arm ; and while his people intrusted him with the fortunes of their armies, it is now known that he was secretly engaged in a fruitless negotiation with General Scutt. Corrupt, wily, and unprincipled as he was, it is admitted that he was a soldier of no mean skill; but in the war with tiro United States he was nig , Daily beaten in all quarters, and before the conclusion of peace he resigned both his military and civil authority, and withdrew to Jamaica. Here he rested five years ; but the old passion for intrigue and insurrection was strong upon him yet, and in the tumult of a revolution against Presi dent Arista h.' returned to power, plotted the destruction of his own constitution, and got up a new ineurrection which declared him " M ost Serene Highness" and Presi dent for life. Defeated by Alvarez after he had ruled with despotic lamer for two years, he was driven lope banishment again in 1555, and went to the West Indies. There are probably few Mexicans living who have done more mischief to their country and are more cordially hated by the majority of their countrymen than this seh , wing commander. Yet, with all his unpopularity, and i.. Tire ' of the unfortunate issue of all his political enterpriscs, he has never lost the hope of regaining the supreme control. In Cube, in Venesuela, in 3t. Thomas, on Staten Island, where ever he has lived during the twelve years of his exile, he has been constantly busy with new plots. His party, it is true, was small, but be had abundance of money, so he might hope to increase it. Twice he has attempted to return, and each time he has been turned Lack by a foreign power. When the empire of Maximilian was established, he landed at Vera Cruz, and, licking the feet of the invaders, counselled the Mexicans, in a high-sound ing proclamation, to yield a ready obedience to the Euro pean rulers. But Marshal Bazaine was too shrewd to ac cept the alliance of a man who had been all his life en unscrupulous plotter for power, and Santa Anna was in stantly shipped to Havana. He came no more to Vera Crux until the other day. How he was then • second time driven away from his native country byforeigners our readers know already ; and much as we may regret the illegal conduct of the American naval commander on that occasion, there can be little question that Mexico has reaped profit from his mistake. Santa Anna has always been one of her worm enemies. _ _ Of the ultimate fate of the unhappy old man, who now at the age of nearly seventy has fallen a victim to his restless ambition, we fear there can be little doubt. His seizure at Sisal by the liberals is almost equivalent to • sentence of death, for in the inflammation of passion which has followed their victory over the Imperialists, and the hatred which they Are known to cherish toward their prisoner, it is not likely that either law or justice will be very carefully considered. There may be no proof that the ex-Dictator meditated interference with Mexican politics, or that he returned to his native land in any other capacity than that of a private citizen ; but the prospect is that proof will not be waited for. Our last advioce represented that • court-martial was about to assemble for bis trial ; our next despatches will probably announce him execution. THE KING OF PRUSIIA AND THE DISTRESSED GERMANS IN Lorrnox.— His Majesty has kindly granted to *0 German Society of Benevolence, 71, Dean-street, Soho, of which society Mr. John ltahles is the president, the sum of hOt. per annum for the relief of the distressed Ger mans in London. M. G IYIZOT ON THE LAST DAYS OP Louts PHHAPPE's HZION.—/Hr. Bentley has just published • volume by M. Cuisot called "Toe Lest Days of the Reign of Louis Philippe." In this volume M. (luixot extols the policy of the Spanish marriages. Discussing his own re lations with Italy and Pope Pius IX. he predicts storms and disasters to Italy. He thinks the Pope quite unequal in point of energy to the difficulties of his position, and says the exactions and attacks by Daly open the Papacy and the keret& church "cast • thick cloud and immense peril over his future." Narrating his own "herein musing the revolution of '45, he quotes long conversations which he held with the King. He more than hints that he had an enemy in some of the royal family. The King was deceived to the last. On the morning of the ttnd of February Louis Philippe went to him Minister of Public Works, M. Guizot says, and with a radiant face ex claimed—" Well ! of course you have come to congratulate me ; the affair has indeed turned off wonderfully well. I thank you, extremely, my dear ministers, for the way in which it has been conducted. Yon know that they have given up the banquet. They have perceived, rather late it is true, that they were playing too high a gone. To think, too, that many of our friends wanted to give in ! But this will comfort the majority." M. Guizot does not seem to regret the fatal obstinacy which led him to advise the prohibition of the banquet ; he only laments that the King at the last moment dismissed the Guisot ministry, who were for moie energetic measures of resistance. THE COST Or A ISIT TO PARIA.—A number of exaggerated reports ere constantly appearing as to the cost of visiting the great Exhibition. No doubt the hotel charges of the superior establishments are still consider ably higher than in ordinary times, but even tirstrate hotels have reduced their original pretensions. So far as the more humble inns and lodging houses are con cerned, the advance of prices is now comparatively iusigniticant. There are in Paris several comfortable hotels which give the traveller • bed-room, break fast, and dinner at from 10e. to 12s. per day. Bed rooms way be obtained for 4fr., 51r., and Or. a night. A breakfast may be had in many of the establish ments of the Palais Royal for lfr. 50e., inciudieg fresh meat, half a bottle of wine, and bread. These establish ments charge 2fr. 50c. for such • dinner as could not be had in London for double that price, as regards variety. There are many places where those seeking economy can Clue modestly for lfr. 25c., or Is. The Exhibition has an establishment called the Omnibus Dining-rooms, where you can have a decent meal at this price. As far as I can learn, the railways have not brought to Paris such • large number of persons as they antici pated, the industrial classes in all probability being de terred from tilting the Exhibition on account of the as serted high price of living in Paris. The journey from London to Paris aad back is now as low as mobs expected. Tho south Easteru Medway charges are ; —Actual tares by night service :-Ist class return tickets, C 0.., avail able for 14 days ; 2nd class ditto, 40s. ; 3rd class ditto, 31).. The second and third-class are now reduced, for work ing men coming to the Exhibition, to 2tia. 841., and this. by the London and nouth-Western Railway return tickets from London to Paris, available for one mouth, are now issued at AUL, let class ; 3bs., 2nd claw ; and 2ss., 3rd class.

Tnz RILIOION or MINORS.—The Lord Chan cellor of Ireland gave his decision on Saturday in the case of the Purcell, minors, which was before him • short time ago. The mother of the miners, who is a Roman catholic, removed her two children, at great pecuniary lose to herself, outside the jurisdiction of the court, and took them to France, where she had them educated in the }lonian catholic religion. This step was taken by Mrs. Purcell for the pm-pose of evading an order of the late Master of the Rolls, directing the children to be brought in the protestant religion, pursuant to the dying wh of their father, who had been • protestant After the removal of the minors from the jurisdiction an attachment issued against Mrs. Purcell. One of the minors (a girl) died in France, and the mother then returned with her son and submitted to the authority of the court. She made • lengthened affidavit, in which she set forth that her son had been brought up in the Roman catholic religion, and had imbibed the principles of that faith. The Lord Chancellor now stated that he would make an order for en attachment against her—the attach ment not to issue—and that she should within a fortnight give • security and find two sureties in 10,0001. not to take the minor out of the jurisdiction, and to obey all orders of the court with reference to residence and every thing else concerning the minor. When she had entered into this security he would make such an order as was suitable for a boy of the minor's expectations, with a view to his future welfare. SIIICIDI or • RUSSIAN Plaices. —The Gaxzetta del Popoln of Turin gives some details respecting • refugee who was found dead • few days back in that city ; his name was Nicholas Teboysky, • Russian prince, and 35 years of age. In • letter written in French, which was found on the body, he declared that ten years ego be in tended to commit suicide on that same spot, but his courage failed him at the last moment. Far from his Native country, hie life had become • burden to him. He nomi nated as his heir the first person that should discover his corpse. The revolver he had used had been purchased the day before at the shop of a gunsmith named Lupotti. On the body was found • gold watch with a valuable chain and • well filled purse, and on the hands a pair of new yellow kid sk.. THE VICEROY OF EGYPT. The Viceroy arrived at Boulogne on Saturday morning by special train at 1.25, and wee met at the station by the Prefet of the department, the Sons- Prefet. the mayor, and other ma barites. The suite of his highness was composed as follows :—Nubs Puha, Raghde Pada, Salaat l'acha, Haman Puha, Rim Pasha, Khain Bey, Ziki Bey, Eram Bey, and three doctors. General Pejo!, aidede-camp to the Emperor, the Baron de Teacher la Pagans and Monar. Rainbeaux, belonging to the imperial household, also formed part of the suite. The Viceroy sleht at the Pavilion Hotel, sad afterwards drove out to visit the " Colones Napoleon." At 2 p.m. he left far Dover on board the French corvette Limier, escorted by three French " arises." The squadron was under the command of Captain Ducret tle Villeneuve, The quay and the road from the hotel were decked with flags, and ' salutes of 21 guns were fired as the Viceroy went on board. Soon after leaving the French coast, the corvette was met by her Majesty's frigate Liverpool, of 3ti guns, commanded by Captain Seccombe, and her Majesty's fri gate Pheebe, of 35 guns, commanded by Captain Bytbesea. The British vessels saluted the corvette, and accompanied her to Dover, where the Viceroy landed at a quarter-past four o'clock. He was received by General Rilice, comman dant of the garrison, Captain Clayton, A.D.C., Colonel Elwyn, 8.A., Capt. Harvey, ILE., Capt.

J. Byng, Mr Eborall, and Mr. Knight, on the part of the railway company. As the Viceroy landed the band of the 51st played the National Anthem, and a guard of honour presented arms, the corvette fired a salute, and the crews of the Liverpool and Phoebe manned the yards. His highness took some refreshment at the Lord Warden Hotel, and then started fur London by the South Eastern line in a state carriage, at half-peat five. The train stopped at Tunbridge for water, as previously arranged; and the local volun teers, who were paraded on the platform. saluted his highness. The Charing-cross station was slightly decorated is honour of the Viceroy's coming. A considerable crowd of people waited for some hours within and without the station; and in the front court a body of Humus waited to escort the Viceroy to Lord Dudley's mansion. At eeven o'clock two of Mr Majesty carriages, followed by ono outrider, drew up at the side of the platform to wait for the train, and these were soon afterwards followed by Musurus Bey, the Turkish ambassador, in hie carriage. The Viceroy arrived at 20 minutes to eight, and was received by the Earl of Dudley on the platform. As be took his seat in her Majesty's carriage with three of the most distin guished of his suite, the people congregated in the sta tion cheered him heartily. His mite numbered some five anti-twenty, and were all, as be was, dressed in a plain suit of black, with a buttoned single-breasted frock coat and red fez. On driving out of the station his highness was loudly and enthusiastically cheered, and the same enthusiasm was repeated on the outside of the station by the thousands there assembled and along the whole line of route to Dudley-house, at which he arrived shortly before eight o'clock. His Highness the Viceroy is a re markably good-looking man, about forty years of age, somewhat below the middle stature, and stout. His face is entirely close shaven, and he has an affable expression, and is by no means of so dark a complexion as many of his suite. His highneu honoured the performance on Saturday evening at the Royal Italian Opera with his presence. He was attended by his hlcoellency Euler Praha, his Ex cellency Raghib Paclui, his Excellency Ring Pacha, General Francis Seymour, Lc. The party occupied her Majesty's box. Preparations have been made at Windsor Castle for the reception of his highness, who will arrive there to-day. He and his suite will travel by the Great Western Rail way, and will be received at the Windsor Station by a gamed of honour. Luncheon and dinner will be prepared for them. His highness and attendants will sleep at the Castle, and return to town to-morrow morning. The Earl and Countess of Derby will entertain the Viceroy of Egypt at a grand banquet at his lordship's official residence, in Downing-street, on Wednesday next, when their Royal Highnesses the Prince of Wales, the Duke of Cambridge, and Princess Mary Adelaide and his Highness Prince of Teck will be present. Later in the evening the Countess of Derby will have a reception. The Prince of Wales has honoured the Lord Mayor and the Lady Blayoress by accepting an invitation to the banquet to be given at the Mansion-house on Thurs day next in honour of the Viceroy, as has also the Duke of Cambridge.

The members of the United Service Club have invited the Viceroy of Egypt to a banquet at their msgnitoent house, and his highness has accepted the invitation. THE VISIT OT THE SULTAN.—Among the public proceedings art down for the entertainment of the Sultan, who is expected to arrive on Saturday, will be the naval review on the lith, and be will possibly be present at the ball iu the Agricultural-ball on the 'nth. The rifle shooting at Wimbledon-common will probably chal lenge a visit ; and the postponement of the review in Hyde-park for a fortnight seems to render that spectacle also available. For the banquet in the City the most active preparations are already going forward ,• and it is acid that the managers or the Crystal Palace will offer his Majesty a public reception. Preparations on an extensive scale are proceeding at the new India-office, St. James's-perk, fora ball to be given to Ida Majesty on a scale of great splendour. The Ipm:um/ quadrangle of the building, covered over for the purpose. is to form the ball room, the flooring being raised to a level with that of the interior.

One of the new Indian trenaport ships (the Malabar) is to take part in the naval review at Spithead. There will be a splendid entertainment on for which invitations sae being numerously h.soed. It is said that Ibis ship will convey the Sultan and suite. THE SULTAN IN Pule.—" The Sultan," says the Liberli, "goes out incognito nearly every evening in the principal streets of the capital. The Emperor of the ottomans observes with care everything that more espe cially concerns Parisian workmanship, or what is called in remain:ice ' less article. de Paris.' Sultan, in fact, in a great amateur of mechanics and instruments of fabrica tion. When be was a young man e under the name of Axix•Effandi, he took great delight in steering with his uwn band, in the Bospholus, the steamer, well known fa the East, which was given him by the Emperor Lis brother. This paeket, with two white funnels, served for many yew * as the principal amusement of the hoe...lit:try prince. He was also accustomed to occupy himself in a special manner with agriculture ; and the farms (tehifflickg) of Prince Axis were noted in the Gulf of Isinith awl on the coast of Anatolia for their exceptional management and cultivation on the European system."
