DEMAND FOR THE TURKISH FLEET.
PIMA, Tuesday (65 p.m.(
The English Fleet, having left its anchorsge at
Prince's Islands on Saturday. proceeded to rendez-
vous seven miles from the Wands until yesterday
morning. Seven of the vessels, anchored off Tonela,
18 miles from the Itsrphoros, will remain there to
await events.
Strict orders have been issued to the officers on
shore not to go out of sight of the Fleet, as circum.
stances may require the presence of the ships near the
capitaL
The idea of a Russian occupation of Constantinople
Is persisted in, and the Grand Duke has informed the
Porte of his desire to march into the city with a force
several thousand strong.
It is also stated that the RUSSIA= demand the
surrenelee of the Turkish fleet.

Server Pasha's resignation has been accepted by the
Sultan, and the function of Minister for Foreign
Affairs will be diecharged ad isterini by AmTni Pas*
the President of the Senate, until the arrival of

An An article appears in the .0( aer Rum approving,
"in common with the whole Huambo Pres," the
statement contained in Prince Bismarek's speech to
the German Parliament. The articles points out that
the entry of the British Fleet into the Bosphorus and
the warlike ureparations in England are measures ill
calculated to inaugurate pacific conferences, and can
only remit in rendering the 'Nike more obstinate,
and therefore in delaying the assembly of the Con.
faience.

i I.ATIMT. ]

We are now acquainted with the terms on which
Russia has proposed to make peace with Turkey,
They are described as being extremely hani, but not-
withstanding this; it is expected that the protocol of
peace will be signed to-day and the ratifications
exchanged ten days hence. Howie reptires for herself
• considerable accession of territory in Asia, the
choice of six of the Turkish iroaclads, and the p=
of • war indemnity of milliards of roubles.
them the Russians seek to imoose conditions respecting
the new Bulgaria, and especially that this new State
Is to have a grant of one port in the :Roan and
another in the Sea of Ellannora. The Russian propose
to accupy all their present positions until the indemnity
Is paid. It was even reported that the Grand Duke
Nicholas had ordered his troops to occupy Constanti-
nople ; it is certain that the Grand Duke's hindquarters
have been removed to San Stefano. about four miles
from the Turkish capital, and the protocol is to be
signed there to day. The cession of the ironclad.
appears by the latest telegram to be a doubtful
matter.

with breaking • street lamp on Saturday, the lrd. They
were met about ten that evening by P.C. Gould, and they
easel him if he could recommend them to • bed. He
enquired if they had any money. They said they had
not, and he then told thew he could do nothing for them,
but his superintendent would be shortly at the °face.
They said they had been to the oonnty police who had
referred them to the borough. and Au they had no other
means of getting a bed they would either smash a
window or the Superintendents face. About • quarter
to twelve that night they carried their threat into execu-
tion, and broke • lamp in North-square. They now
admitted their offence, and said they had been out of
work, and that wee their only resource. They gave their
address ae !Latham, London. They were ordered to per
the damage or go to prison for wean dare. As they bad
no money they were taken to jell. —iDaring the hearing

To the Edam..

Sir—Mr. Osborn Montan's Burial Bill has again
been shelved, and the None .nformiat, must none
their grievances for another y-ar at least. Ido not
know the extent of the r grievanivs nor the provisions
of Mr. Morgan's Bill, but it seems better iinpi,orted
every veer; and the nmallne f the majoritv this
year (15) will no inbt give the promoter of the Bill
fresh vigour to renew the toittle. I hope that when
the Bill becomes law there will be • clause in it giving
the right to refuse or admit a tombstone to be placed
in the churchyard to some Board or power otherwise
than it is at present—the clergyman id the parish,
who might take objection to a verse or line because it
conveyed a feelleg too high, too low, or too broad,
according to his peculiar tenets. Here is a case, sir,
that occurred in a village near Blandford a few moths
since. A young woman, aged 21 years, (laughter id
labouring people, died of consumption. she was
known as a steady, decent girl, and knew her end was
drawing near. A very distinguished lady, who was
often found ministering to thy sick, Was at the bed-
side shortly before her death and naked her if she was
happy, she answered, "I can smile at death for Jesus
smiles on me." These were her dying words, and the
lady proposed that they should be engraven en the
stone she would give the ',smote to put over her grave,
the undertaking to pay all the expenses. The stone
was prepared, and permission was asked to erect it,
but the liaison refused, on the k(round, as far as I can
understand, that it is presumption in anybody to say
they are Raved. I will not argue this piint with the
rev, gentleman, bu• will ask your readers, sir, whether
that stone presented by that charitable christian lady,
recording those sweet, simple wonls of a TOUlla: dying
woman's hope, faith, and trust in that :saviour, who
had promised to be with her if she sought Him, to
