Tux CHRISTIANS IN TURKEY.—A correspondent of the Independance Beige writes :—" The French and English Governments, while giving their aid to Turkey, have de termined to require large concessions in favour of the Christians. They will insist upon the frank and complete carrying out of the Gulhane charter. The taxes will here. after be levied equally upon all subjects of the Ottoman empire, without reference to their religion. The Minnie, that pernicious institution which gives the privilege of col lecting the taxes to the highest bidder, will be abolished. Every man will be free to practise his religious worship as he pleases. Churches and monasteries now in ruins may be reconstructed. The Christians will be allowed to possess books and other things necessary for their worship, without being forced to submit them to censors, who generally keep them. They will also be at liberty to carry their dead to the grave in their own arms, and not upon the backs of asses, as is yet practised in some parts of the empire. In short, in all matters of religion the aphorism of Sultan Mahmond is to be put in practice I desire one day to see among all my subjects no other religious distinction than the mosque for the Mussulman, the church for the Christian, and the synagogue for the Jew.' " THE UKASE prohibiting Jewish women in Russian Poland from wearing false hair has been aggravated by a new order prohibiting them from wearing any kind of head. dress under their bonnets. Their husbands or relatives are made responsible for obedience to this order, and in case 261 of infraction are to be punished with line and imprison ment. Several have already been punished. The rabbi' are ordered not to perform the marriage ceremony for any woman who disobeys these orders, and the offending rabbis, if young men, are to be sent as private soldiers to a penal colony. WHILE a steam-boat was about " putting out " from the little town of Portland, Indiana, for New Orleans, the mate, au old boatman, turned to some passengers, and remarked, " This little town, gentlemen, looks dull, but I tell you it is perhaps a mighty brisk place. About fifteen years ago, as I was going down with a flatboat to New Orleans, we stopped here to procure some provisions. I went up into the town, and seeing a coat hanging out of a shop-door just took it. The owner came after me, caught me, took me before a magistrate ; I was tried, convicted, took thirty-nine lashes, and was back to the boat in fifteen minutes ! I tell you, gentlemen, a mighty brisk little place is that same Portland." THE Journal des Dfbats sometime ago mentioned a report that 200 Russian prisoners, taken at the affair of (lute, had been put to death by the Turks ; and expressed a hope that it was unfounded. The Journal de Constantinople, in one of its recent numbers, affirms positively that nothing of the kind occurred ; and that the calumnious report could only have been invented by the enemies of Turkey. THE following is the programme of the ceremonies to be observed at the reception of the imperial bride, her Royal Highness the Princess Elizabeth of Bavaria, who is expected in Vienna on the 22nd of April :—Simple reception of the Princess at Nussdorf, the landing-place of the Danube steamers, near Vienna, by all the members of the Imperial Court, the burgomaster, the magistrates, and common council, without any festivities ; from thence the Princess is to be conducted to Schonbrunn, and from there to the Theresianum (an imperial palace in a suburb). On the 24th, a festive entrance through the principal streets of the town ; processions of the various guilds, with their standards flying, the military being formed in lines; the new Eliza beth's bridge, named after the Princess, and opened for the first time to the public, will be ornamented with flowers ; reception by the burgomaster and aldermen, who will con duct the Princess to the church of St. Augustin, and from thence to the Hofburg, or imperial palace of residence. Then follows the presentation of foreign ambassadors, ministers, and the nobility entitled to presentation at Court ; then a grand dinner, theatre pare, magnificent decoration, and illumination of the whole town and the suburbs in the evening ; public edifices will be lighted up with coloured balloons ; grand ball at the so-called Redoute, which will be connected with the winter riding school, in order thus to secure room for the admission of the greatest possible number of guests. Public rejoicings of the people will take place on the 25th and 26th in the Prater, free admission to all kinds of shows, and in the evening illumination of the chief avenues, and artificial fireworks. Silver medals of the size of • dollar will be coined in great quantities, which will likewise be considered as a legal tender for two florins. The community of Vienna gives marriage outfits, or trousseaux, to fifty poor girls. putg Vadat anb ditg gnitiligtna. FRIDAY EVINTNO. ON Monday, after exhibiting a little weakness, the English Funds generally improved, and closed at a tri • fling advance of about 1 per cent. This, with increas ing lightness in the Money Market and in the presence of the French loan, must be attributed chiefly to the extensive " Bear" accounts for the settling day. There was a larger supply of stock, but the rate of " backwardation" was higher, nearly 1 per cent. Con sols closed at 911 for the account. Exchequer Bills experienced a further decline, under the knowledge that Government must throw a considerable amount on the market: they closed at from 10s. to 14s. prem. India Bonds were from ss. to Us. pram. On Tuesday the settlement of the monthy account in Consols engaged the attention of the dealers ; it was unfavourable to the " Bears," who had been buying back ; the market therefore was generally firm. The demand for money increased; the rates of discount and interest are higher. The Great Northern Railway offer 11 per cent. for loans. Money on the deposit of stock was 3 per cent. Con sols closed at a shade above 01. The Railway Market was inanimate, and Great Westerns suffered under the depression of a large and bond fide sale. In the absence of foreign news, on Wednesday the English funds were steady, and this may in some measure be attributed to investments made on foreign account by capitalists, who, in the present aspect of affairs, prefer English security for their money. The failure of a Manchester house, to the extent of about 80,0(X)/., caused uneasiness, which was to some extent verified, lest others in the absence of remit tance from Australia should follow. The increasing value of money here is slightly checking the expor tation of gold to the Continent. Consols, owing to sales, closed 1 lower than on Tuesday. It was announced that Sardinia requires a loan of a million and a half. On Thursday the Stock Market opened without bonyancy, and in a short time prices declined. This is attributed to the continued drain of gold to the Continent, and to the non-arrival of bullion from Australia. The latter, however, will to some extent be relieved when the screw-steamer Sydney reaches V I 4- ~it~sk-
