Lem to the throes lately occupied by his brother appears to have taken place without difficulty er emesolies. The general rule of Moseinicuan soreMOSIOS bee been observed in this case, and the eldest member of the Imperial house has taken the crown. That rule must now therefore be held to be the law of the Turkish Empire, though whether it bu so in fact is a point on which the highest authorities =niece themselves induubt. Considering the manner in which treaders of the sceptre have usually been accomplished at Constantinople, it is something to find that any rule has been peacefully followed. Since S.anitAN, the last of the great Ottoman Ida - prior% who had his noble son bowstruiig to pion his fascinating female slave, the reigning SCLTANI have been aseertiusied by a principle of " natural " selection," such as Mr. DARWIN has described in hie " ongiu of Species," the destruction of com petitor, or those who might become such. Of the twenty successors of Sutinior who preceded the late SULTAN, only nine reached the throne by a regular succession. Illiento 11., father of the late and present SULTAN, was indebted for his emersion to the rebellious l'ache of Rciminee, who, appearing suddenly at Constantinople with ea army, deposed NI rwriken• IV., the reigning Sutra% and put him to death. MAHNLD suc ceeded as the ouly adult descendant of (lrureir, but found it necessary to deliver himself from future danger by putting to death the infant son of Mcierarni, and drowning the pregnant slaves of the deposed SULTAN in the Bos phorus. Those things were dome when Turkey had hope, and when it was still something to be &SULTAN. Nobody is murdered now, less because the Porta is more civilised than because the motive to inhu man violence fails. The cruelty of the ticurax was often associated with a ravage energy, which was at times put forth for the good of the country. But the fatalist'. which once nerved the Ottomans to great enterprises now teaches them to sit down languidly amidst the surrounding portents of their ruin. The cares of the SULTANA of our day do not reach beyond the present hour. They do not ask how they may strengthen their house and confirm their dominion ; bet how they may find some specula tor of Paris or Gelato to supply them with ready mammy with which to appease for the moment the exorbitant cravings of the harem. And of late the inquiry has been made in vain. Two years ago it seemed se though the old Ottoman spirit, quickened by a sense of its degradation, was about to find an heroic remedy. A conspiracy, of which military men and ulemas (or clergy) were tho leaders, was formed to sweep sway the millionaire pachas who had grown rich by the ruin of their country, and renew the vigorous administration of the old powerful viziers. Its accidental discovery saved the throne, possibly the life, of Aant-b MCWID, and placed forty of the conspirators before the tribunals. Your pachas were condemned to death ; but public feeling was too warmly excited in behalf of men who, it was be lieved, had been moved by a sincere desire to save the Empire, and in a capital so stained with blood as that of Turkey, the highest of political crimes was visited with a light punishment. The investigation of this conspi racy, and still more, the publication of the appeal to the just judgment of Europa, which had been prepared in anticipation of its success, exhibited the Court and Government of the SULTAN in • light that powerfully affected the estimation in which Turkish aliens are now universally regarded in Western Europe. It was seen that the art of government at Constantinople had consisted in trading on the Sovereign's weakness of mind and incapacity for business ; an incapacity which his Ministers had cultivated by supplying him reck lessly with the means of indulging his passions or caprices. The oligarchy which surrounded the Throne lamented to European statesmen that their endeavours to advance the prosperity of Turkey were frustrated by the want of capable men to second them, and that Mum bles. fanaticism paralysed their endeavours to better the condition of the Christians. To the Moslems they insinuated that the constant pressure of Europe counteracted their efforts to improve the internal state o f th e empire. Wade thus deceiving all parties they wore overwhelming the country with misfortunes. Marimi u had left it without in debtedness and without paper money. lie had laboured to improve the government, to raise up the army from its depression, and to promote public instruction. But the men who surrounded Ann! 1. Minute, while trebling the revenues of the country, had involved it in a debt of more than thirty millions sterling, and had left the soldiers unpaid. Their own luxury stood out in strong contrast with the public penury. Their places were splendid and tilled with beautiful dares, and one of thew dying just before, had left a fortune of two millions sterling. While these expeeuree ROTS fresh and new, Western Europe was amused with inhalations of the new and emnietie spi r it i n w hi c h the Poste was about to enter on • career of reform.

A verse in the vernacular idiom was. lately placarded in Stamboul describing the public life of that capital as represented by " A Sultan without respect—a harem without " shame—governors without capacity—• clergy " without faith, and • people without • voice." A new SULTAN has now ascended the throne, and h moral portraiture is already circulated. It is said that he is a more strenuous Moslem than his prellassomer. 1 t may be ; and yet even so not only the Musgulmens, but the Christians may be the better for his rule, if, pricked by shame, he apply him self vigorously to abolish the abuses which have brought his family and country so low. At any rate, the Moslems may feasonably believe that his reign is the last in which they will have an oppor tunity of showing Europe that their government is tolerable or even possible.

The death of the Sultan has produced scarcely any effect upon the Paris Bourse. The Rent° in the course of the day was quoted as low as 67fr. 55c., but it closed at 67fr. 65c., for account, being a rise of sc. Mobilier fell lfr. 25c. The railways were without animation, and suffered no important change. The general opinion is that, so far as re gards the imminence of what is called the " Eastern question," the new Sultan is a better man than his predecessor, and more likely to adjourn the crisis. M. Granier de Cassagnac, who, according to Figaro, is to have 201. an article for six articles a month in the Constitutionnei, brings out hie second article to-day. The first, its high price notwith standing, attracted oo notice. The present one is not calculated to make any great sensation. Its only object is to say " ditto " to M. Billault's last reactionary speech. Caasaguao rejoices exceedingly that all liberal interpretations of the decree of November 24 are burked by K Billault. No liberty of the press—no repeal of laws of public safety— no relaxation in the mode of "directing" univer sal suffrage in favour of government candidates— and, above all, no dissolution of the present " loyal and devoted " Corps L3gislatif, are the grand re sults which M. Camagnac deduces from the Bil lault speech. Should you remember that the Em peror on a celebrated occasion promised to "crown the edifice" with liberty, and should you think with the liberal party here, which hailed Nov. 24 as au instalment, that the fulfilment of the promise ought not to be much longer delayed, K Caseagnac is ready with the answer that "the constitution will develop itself in its own peculiar spirit, and not in a spirit hostile to it." Small comfort in this argument ! For the peculiar spirit of the constitu tion of 1852 is hostility, to an extent never before known in France, to every description of liberty— except only the liberty of universal suffrage exer cised under the protection of bayonets, policemen, laws of public safety, laws prohibiting public meet ings, and laws restraining the publication of eleo total addresses and the distribution of voting tickets (bulletins). M. Cassagnao repeats the hackneyed argument, invented to reconcile the sacred charac ter of the free universal suffrage which is supposed to be the origin of the Napoleonic power with the fetters which the great elect of the people thought tit to put upon it as soon as he was able--namely, that in a great national crisis universal suffrage needs no guidance, the innate good sense of the pea sant being necessary to put governments in the way of order, but that when government is in a normal state, universal suffrage cannot be expected to go right unless "directed" by the "natural oouneslkes of the people," viz., "the mayor, government functionaries, and the clergy !" This is the pith and marrow of the great 201. article in to-day's Pays. if. Emile Mahan, a young journalist, who last year was a correspondent of the Opinion Nationale In Italy, and wrote some good lottery headed "Lettres d'un voluntaire de Garibaldi," was arrested "administratively" a day or two since, at 5 o'clock in the morning, at his lodgings in Paris. The Opinion Nationale has no idea of the cause, but thinks it impossible Out its young contributor ten be Is any of the "categories" obnoxious to the laws of public safety, and doubts not that he will be soon released. M. Gautier, the tutor of one of the Duke de Nemours' children, having occasion to come to Paris from England a few days sines, was arrested. Nothing political was found upon him except two or three copies of the Duke d'Aninale's pamphlet. After passing a night in prison he was released. The further hearing of the case of Paterson v. Bonaparte was adjourned last evening till Friday next, when M. Chaix d'Est Ange, Proeureur- General, will address the court. M. Berryer con cluded his argument yesterday, and submitted that the judgment of the "family council," which had been treated as conclusive by the Tribunal of the First Instance, did not touch the question of the validity of the marriage of Jerome Bonaparte with Miss Paterson. He admitted that the second marriage of Jerome with the Princess Catherine of Wurteniberg could not be impeached, that Prinoe Napoleon was legitimate, and disclaimed any ' intention to interfere with the dynastic position given him in 1862. He humbly submitted to political necessity, and questioned no act of sovereign power, but he denied that any act of sovereign power had ever been exorcised in such a way as to bar the legal rights of Mrs. Paterson and her non as the widow and child of the late Prince Jerome. Mrs. Lemann, the widow of the famous biscuit baker, who has for many years been enjoying her large fortune in Paris, died this week, at her man sion in the Rue di Tivoli. A Parisi letter in the /*dependance says :—" The famous M. Mendip bee proposed to the French authorities to cress the Seine upon a rope stretched between the Palace of the Tuileries and barrack of the Quai d'Orsay. This will be a gratuitous sight to the Paris population and will take place on the 15th of August. A considerable sum, however, of the amount set apart for the fête will be given to the audacious acrobat." A letter from Peeth of the 23rd sap; :—" M. de Montalembert has been a guest of the Cardinal Primate and other notabilities. He has been frequently present at the sittings of the Chambers, end has not been sparing In his eulogies upon the order, the lore fur constitutional liberty, and the resolution to keep to the ground of lega lity and historical right, which those assemblies display ; bat he trembled for Austri► ' What wilt become,' he said, 'of that heroine of the church?

There is very little news. The go vernment had published an analysis of the sums sasigned to the various presidencies and provinces for public works during the current year. The whole sum sanctioned is 3,370,0001, in the propor tion of 640,0001. to Madras, 630,0001. to the North Western Provinces, 520,0001, to the Punjab, 510,0001. to Bengal, 500,0001. to Bombay, 190,0001. to Oude, 100,0001. to Pegu, and the remainder in small sums to Nagpore, Hyderabad, Coorg, Tunas scrim, and the Straits Settlements. Besides this total a sum of 82,5001. is held in reserve for future claims, 305,0001. is reserved for railway and tele graph charges, and the local funds for local works are estimated at half a million. The approximate distribution of expenditure among the guaranteed railway and irrigation companies in the current year will be—to Bengal, 2,400,0001., to Bombay 1,850,0001., to Madras 980,0001., to the North West Provinces 750,0001., and to the Punjab 220,0001., or 6,200,0001. in all. An attempt has been made to construct a rail way out of local capital alone. The scheme aban doned by the Gude Railway Company for want of a guarantee, of a line from Cawnpore to Lucknow, has been taken up by three Christian merchants and several of the great native landholders in Oude. Government has promised land and every assistance short of a guarantee. The capital is fixed at half a million sterling, in 20,000 shares of 251. each.

The position of affairs in the indigo districts is said to have undergone no change. It is reported that the Governor of Madras has for the present abandoned his intention of residing on the Hills.

From China we have news from Hong Kong to May ll ; Shanghai, May t There is acaroely an event of any importance to record, except the taking of Hankow by the rebels, already mentioned by telegraph. The following is from the summary of the China Mail : There is little in the way of political news to rowed for the peat fortnight. The Prma of Kuog act, for China in matters political, and everything he has hitherto said or done in relation to ourselves shows him desirous to take circum stances as they were arrested at the end of the late campaign, and make the very best of them that he can. It is somewhat to be feared that the Emperor and has anti.fureign advisers are sadly dispirited, and cannot muster courage to return to the capital. There is, indeed, every reason to believe that the pre sence of a foreign army under the walls of Peking was never contemplated by the Emperor of China events a remote pos. sibility, and the blow we have inflicted upon his pride, in thus cruelly and clearly exposing his long-cherished self - delusion, has proved so sickening, that his reappearance in Peking is being delayed, and delayed indefinitely. It is not supposing too much to imagine that the destruction of his sununer palace, of which he is doubtless aware, forms only one item of the anguish that has vexed the EMperor's heart. I u the meantime the condition of the country is far from satisfactory. Unlike the civil broils of modern Europe, the domestic wan of China go on from year to year, until war loam even the weak justification of being a means to an end. The past fortnight's news painfully . illustrates this. Can anything be more provokingly indecisive than this frag ment, said to be from the Pettey Gazette :—" A Waal have taken place between the imperialists and the rebel banditti in Shantung and Hunan ; in some the former, and in others the latter, have been victorious." This is nothing more than a specimen of the general tone in which the civil wan of China have been reported during the last fortnight. Perhaps the balance has been on the imperial aide ; but the rule is that the next two weeks must restore it. out in broken Mongoli a rebellion From Peking we have little news in addition to what appeared in our last overland summary. The members of the various foreign embassies are meeting with all desirable civility. The residence of the British Legation is an coot , mous place, with detached buildings, covering stout four and a half acres of ground. Workmen of various kinds are busily engaged putting it in good repair. At Tien-tie, trade is beginning to prosper. Messy of the leading houses in Hoeg Kong are preparing to erica struc tures suitable for business, and very strong prospects exist of future prosperity for this port The troops are disap pointed at thaw stay being prolonged, and that without any definite period being hinted at. At Chefoo (called in the treaty Tang-Chow) trade was not so brisk, the market having received a temporary glut. The principal news from Shanghai, relates to the fine tasting success of rebels and imperialists. Two naval ex peditious had gone up the Yang-tare in search of deserters from English ships ; the first visit was to Nankin, where a number of English sailors were captured in the service of the rebels ; the next was to an imperial camp, with CORO. upending results. On the 30th ultimo, the American ex pedition sailed up the Yasig.tue. It consists of three vessels—the Hartford, Dacotah, and Saginaw. Mr. Meadows goes to New-Chwaag as her Majesty's consul. Mercantile agents are thither numerously. Hankow Les fallen to the rebels—an avant we stated in our last summary as speedily expected. ARGYLE AND THE ISLES DIOCESAN FUND. The first anniversary of this fund was held at Loodou House, on the 24th instant, under the presidency of the Archbishop of YORE and the Bishop of LONDON. It wee stated that 1,409/. Lk 13d. had been received during the year, and that about 290 i. still remained in the backer's hands._ The Bishop of ARGYLL made a statement of the condition and waste of the diocese, remarking that, through the means of this fund, six students was now under course O af eduoatiou for the Gaelic ministry. The Bishop of LONDON explained that the object of the committee was in no wayto proselytise from the presbyterlan church in Scotland, but simply to provide the ministrations of the episcopal church to t&se who (to so great so extent is the diocese of Argyle) had always remained episcopalism. A reeoletlon appointing • committee in the Argyle dioce se to advisees there the objects of the fund, was proposed by the Right Hon. R. C. N. Hamilton, seconded by the Bishop of Down and Connor, and supported by the Bishop of Moray and Braes, who stated on how miserable • pittance (about 281. per annum), a Scottish bishop's income depended, and defeoded the diocesan movement shove the centralised scheme, for the benefit of the episcopal church in Scotland. Other resolutions were spoken to by Sir Michael Shaw %mart, Bart., the lion. G. F. Boyle, E. S. Csyley, M.P., and the Rev. Cecil Writer; and after votes of thanks to the Archbishop of York fur presiding, and to the Bishop of London for permitting the fund to take its rise and to hold its sunivenary in London House, The meeting separated. THE GREAT FIRE. LATEST PARTICULARS.—(THIS DAY.) Front London-bridge there is now very little to be seen beyond heaps of blackened wreck and skeleton walls, since the dame along the river front of the ruined wharves appears to have died away, while a complete change of wind since yesterday afternoon, from S.W. to N.E., corries the smoke in a contrary direction, and leaves the valley of the river entirely free. The worst effect of the change of wind has been to bring the smoke down fall into the eyes, mouths, and nostrils of the firemen, who conduct their operations principally from the Tooley•street side, and who are ID consequence at the . same time half choked and more than ball blinded by the dense and sickly•smelling vapour. Still they work in relays, under the direction of Medea, Tozer, and Gerranl, the last the engineer of the steam float, and the others of the land engines ; and there is no apprehension of any long duration of the active pro grew of the fire in this direction. In fact, the eanite and mounds of ruin over the whole surface of the wide area of destruction are fast cooling down, and by the end of the week it is thought that not a jet of flame will be visible. With regard to a fresh outbreak which took place yesterday afternoon in a vault on Hay's wharf, sad which at first was thought to threaten serious results, it was speedily got under by the firemen, who, in order to smother it completely, this morning set themselves to work to stop the access of atmospheric air. The crown of the vault was still entire, and its only doorway choked up with brickwork, but various iron gratings remained, which it was deemed advisable to seal hermetically. With that view the firemen covered them with a layer of well wetted sacks, over whisk the spread a thick bed of clay, which they had from New.cross. This was firmly beaten down so as to leave no opening, and the onrush of air being thus prevented as far as possible, if not altogether, it is presumed that the fire within, having little or no supply of oxygen, will very soon die out. A feather quantity of hides was this morning recovered from among the wreck on Hay's-wharf, and on Chamber lain's-wharf great progress we. made towards the recovery of HO tons of speller, which has received little or no injury. When the vaults on Cotton's Wharf become acemaibie, no doubt a large amount of tallow will be got out, as it can be seen in a huge sheet on the top of the water, with which It makes up a depth of about four feet on the floor of the vault. The exertions for the recovery of the body of Mr. Soot% IMO rammed this morning. Places dangerous to penetrate and all but Memorable were explored, but still without result. Balsa of leather, still moist and flexible, and other substances almost without a sign of scorching have bean disinterred, but nothing has been come upon to indicate the whereabouts of this unfortunate gentleman ; and the opinion at flint most reluctantly expressed, gains ground, that be stumbled into a blaring vault when endeavour iv to escape from the falling wall, or that other wise he sought shelter in the doorway of the opposite ware house which was not then as fire, hut which became so ine. nbediataly afterwards, and that so be was burnt to death. Tan Lars Ma. Bnaluwoor.—The melancholy death of Mr. Braidwod ham created great lympathy in Edinburgh, of which city be was a native, and where he flint distiaguisbed himself ie the tof firm Mr. Braidand was the son of • le tradeanan in the Scotch eapital, and was bore there about the year 1800. la 1824 he joined the police establichment then, and under. took the organineein of • regular fire Before his plans were far seaweed, and before he either his foroe or his eegines in westing order, occurred the great condo graaon of 1824, the moat memorable and extensive the in the anent of Edinburgh, and in which a great part of the Hnhetreet, including the steeple of the lkoo Church, was burnt down. At thls fire Mr. Braidwood first exhibited those qualities of cool determination, great daring, and skilful management which he has eo often put to good Crlrin the fine of the metropolis. A pamphlet which blished in 1832, on the causes and means of extin guishing fires, Inn gave him more than local celebrity, cad led to his removal to London. Many Anise are still told of the intrepidity end presence of mid be diet daring the eight years he was firemester at Edin h. On one occasion be carried first one barrel of gunpow and then another, through the midst of • Ire from a cellar through an ironmonger's shop, thus preventing, at the utmost personal risk, an explosion which might have aimed great dennedien et life and propwty. On another occasion, above thirty yearn ago, he narrowly escaped the sad fne which ultimately befell him, being struck by some re Mee fnimente of a falling roof, in consequence of which be wee so much injured that he bad to be removed from the sone. Mr. Braidweod may be said to have left to his native oiler the legacy of a wen appointed and well organised brigade, hie dens having been fully matured before he left, and since that time well carried out. TRE REPRESENTATION OF WOLVERHAMPTON. The conservative candidate, Mr. A. B. Hill, of the Oxford circuit, bas iaeued an address in which he says ; —" If returned by you as your representative I shall use my bast eedeavours for the reduction to the lowest point, con sistent with the majesty of this great kingdom, of the burder of taxation which Dow presses so heavily upon in dustry. and, where the burden cannot be lightened, to pro cure such an equalisation, that the greatest weight may rest upon the shoulders the best able to bear it. My sup port will always be given to that government whose mea sures appear the beet calculated to give an equal amount of liberty to all climes and to all religious denominations." The liberals are not yet provided with a madidatc The leaders of the party, however, have issued large placard,, in which they state that a gentleman of "character, talent, and sound liberal principles will shortly solicit the suffregee of the electors, with the united support of the liberal party!' This notice is intended to counteract the influence of an address which has been issued by Mr. S. Griffiths, is which that gentleman says that he is a native of the borough, bas been largely engaged in the staple trade of the district, is a liberal, and should vote for a further moderate extension of the franchise. He especially claims their suf frages ea an ironrimater ; but if he goes to parliament will go there as an independent men. Mr. R. Malcolm Kerr, LL.D., of the Northern circuit, and judge of the sberifte Court of London, is in the town as a would-be candidate, and awaits the decision of the liberal party, who are en. deavouriog to obtain the consent of Mr. Weguelin, the late Governer of the Bank of England, to stand u a candidate. THE LATE MR. SOTHEBY. F. B. Coming Eaq., the deputy coroner, held an inquest at Buckfast Abbey. yesterday morning, at 11 oe ALaa., the body of the late L. Sotheby Esq., of ast Abbey. The jury having viewed the body of the unfortunate gettlenaa, . . . . J. Tool' was first examined. Ile said—Yesterday morn ing (Thursday) I was walking by the side of the River Dart. I sew Hr. Sotheby lying under some bushes hanging over the water. The body was in the water. I went into the water end took Irbil out. It was between 6 and T o'clock in the morning. He was quite dead. The water was about two feet deep. He was lying rather on his left side. The body wu wholly under venter, and there were no marks of violence on his face or hands. There were no marks as of a struggle on the adjoining bank. I found a up and walking-stick on the bank. I knew the body to be that of Mr. Sotheby. I got assistance and brought the body to the house. By a juror—The bank wu a sliding one. The cap and stick were about two feet iron. the water. The body lay a little down from where the cap and stick were. The head was close to the bank. H. Wil!cocks, of Buckfastleigh, corroborated the evidence of the former witness. He identified the cap and stick as belonging to the deceased. There is no path close to the spot. Maria Sleep, governeas in the family, was next examined. She said—l last saw the deceased at 1 o'clock on Wed.. nesday. I lunched with him. He complained of a little headache. He did sot appear distressed. He left soon after. He used to faint away with heat, but he never was subject to fits. He generally went out for a walk in the middle of the day. At 2 o'clock I first missed hire. Palios constable Leo was next sworn. He said— On Thursday morning I received information that Mr. Sotheby was missing. I went in search of him. I was afterwards informed his body was found. I went to the spot and found him laid en the beak; there were several men with him. I searched him. I took a watch and chain. I opened it, and found that it had stopped at a quarterpest 2 o'clock. I found a small case. I also found some money. The jury have seen the same body. There were no marks about the sPot• 0. Kiernan, surgeon, of Buckfastleigh, bad examined the body. He found no marks of violence. His opinion was that he bad one of his fainting fits, and fell into the water, end was drowned. This being the whole of the evidence, The Coroner summed up. The Jury, after deliberation, recalled the goverocss for ime further information. The Jury wished the examination of Richard Tuthill Musy, physician, of Sydenham, who maid—l have been in the habit of attending the deceased. but never attended him for any complaint of the bruin. I eaw him last alive about three weeks since. He wan not then ill, and in very good spirits. Never saw any sviep• toms of insanity. Had attended him foe discus of the heart. Am inclined to think that he had a spurn of the heart at the time of his death. The jury, having deliberated, returned a venlict of " Found Dmd, but how he became so there is no evidence to show•." The deceased was 56 years of age. —lirtst(ra Daily Mercury.
