FOREIGN INTELLIGENCE.

TURKEY.—Details of Turkish intelligence afford perpetual
complaints of incendiarism, murder, rapine, and pillage,
executed on high and low without any sort of distinction.
The police department is in the hands of the French, while
the judicial administration is exercised by the English. The
French gendarmerie provide not only for the security of life
and property, but take every occasion of entering the harems,
and violating the sanctuary of the Turks. Whenever any
question arises for settlement the Ambassador, dragoman,
secretary, or some other personage in the employ of England
is sure to interfere, and in such cases all is summarily settled.
The state of affairs in the interior of Turkey is said to be far
beyond the power of all description.
Russis.—According to despatches from St. Petersburg, the
troops which were on their march for the Crimea had received
orders to halt, on account of their great losses on the road, and
the impossibility of procuring provisions at Sebastopol for an
increased garrison. Letters from Odessa speak much of the
disastrous effects of the storm which took place on the 2nd
inst. The banks of the Bug were overflowed, and houses,
batteries, and all swept away by the resistless torrent of water.
In the neighbourhood of Nicolaieff two batteries were totally
destroyed, and.the trenches filled with water. All communi-
cation with the Crimea was fora time broken off.
CANTERBURY.—A Committee of the Provincial Council
have reported upon the accounts of the Canterbury Associa-
tion, from which it would seem that matters are far from
being settled. It is their opinion that certain charges,
amounting to " £4,470. 17s. 3d.," ought not to be charged
against the colony ;" that, after " deducting these sums, the
excess of expenditure over receipts is £21,608 9s. 3d., of which
" £lO,OOO is owing to the Bishopric Endowment Fund,"the
balance having been " advanced by members of the s
interest
tion." The Committee repudiate the "claim fo

Fund is secured by mortgage,
