TO CHRISTIANS.

We have received a copy of the important decree
respecting the rights of Christiana, proategatad at
Coostantinople on the 21st February. It states that
Farman, will have a right to possess landed pee-
-1 peaty t that, as regards civil right., there will be a
ample* 'quay between Mussalnisns and Chris-
tians, and that the latter will be subject to the pay-
ment of different taxes. Any denomination of a nature
to express the superiority of memos over another is
expressly forbidden both in pablie documents es in
private eonventioos. The patriarchs are to be named
forlife. The clergy will receives Azad stipend,and the
church property will be ineseged by an assembly
composed of persons of that religion. There will be
mixed tribess/a. Falocetion will be free, but saw
the euveillscos of mixed commissions. Other re-
forms ere announced, se for instaniii the right granted
to provincial and minansinal councils to take the
initiative in grants for puha) week' t as also the
establishment of banks, in order to regularise the
moostary system of the empire. ♦ million copies of
the decree of the Sultan have besslietribiated.

The finnan is addressed to the Grand Viike
Mehmed Benin Aali Paths, and, as usual in this kind
of documents, begins by a long allocation to him.
Tb. Sultan speaks in the firm person, and, attar this
introduction, says that sines the beginning of his
reign he haa had only one idea—namely, to make all
Muses of his subjects happy, and that, Gawk Ood,
his endeavours in this reaped were not without saw
essa,es the increasing prosperity of the country shows.
But be wants to give new vigour and a grantee eaten-
aim to his reforms, so as to satiety all wishes and to
raise the dignity of his government.
An official despatch from Constantinople, of the
28th ult., says that the Turkish Government has
aathorised the export of corn to all ports in the,
Meditenansan, the Archipelago, and the Adriatic.

THE PRINCIPALITIES.

The Deaf says:—" We learn by a telegraphic
despatch from hazy, dated February 28, that the
last resoled's. of the Ports relative to the Princi-
palities were known there, and that them resolutions
wen considered to be a violation of the autonomy
of the Priauipalitise. The news appears to have pro-
dueed great agitation in Moldavia. and it was thought
that the Haspodar would protest. We shall wait
for more ample details Were giving an opinion as to
the Math of the fact itself. and the gravity of its
conerpiestess."

mechanic, leaving the service of Messrs. John Bright and
Brothers, to moment* luridness on their own moor, •
farewell supper was given in the newsroom, upwards of 40
of the principal bands connected with the establishment
being present. When the cloth had been removed, Mr.
Tweedale, manarr of the cotton department, was called to
the chair; and Mr. Fauna, *Md. r, to the vice-chair.
After the aerial loyal toasts had been honoured, the Chair-
man proposed the health of Meson. Clayton and Maxon,
and In doing an alluded to the Flautist intercourse which
had been enjoyed during the period of their services.

sible he had not done all he might to advance the welfare

1p feeling proud of his workpirople. He was more rati-

neatly decorated with flags, banners, tranaparenciex, &a.,

made themselves Emmons in the annals of history, and the
decorations, SS a whole, had every pretty'
effect. An excel-

praise is du for their providence as well as for the
manner in which they presided at the tables. In addi•
Ron to this excellent repast, it bad been determined to

THE SUICIDE IN CANNON-STREET.

Yesterday afternoon Mr. Payne, the City coroner,
held an inquest at the White Horse Inn, Friday-street, on
the body of Mr. Albert Tanner Howell, aged 28, a end-
morcisl traveller in the house of Messrs. Gillott and Fester,
in Cannoe-street West, who committed suicide by jumping
from the fourth story window of the warehouse, as detailed
in this journal of yesterday. The deceased was stated to
have been of c►eerful, steady, and sober habits, and was on
the eve of getting married. About two months sines some
difference arose between him and the young lady, which
resulted in the breaking off of the engagement. This led
to • remarkable change in his denseenoar; he became
eccentric and desponding, and frequently coave►sed with hie
friends as to tee sudden termination of the intimacy
al:u led to. On Tuesday eveolog he took rather a long
stroll in the West-end with a friend. In the course
of the walk the deeeeFed dwelt upon the estrangement, and
his friend lied some difficulty in inducing him to ishauge the
losiversation. They parted shortly before 12 o'clock, and

(110/1 AN OCCASIONAL CORAISPONDINT.)
The arrival of Nsrvaez at Madrid was marked by
en incident that is worth describing. I common'.
:red :o you, a few days since, a description of the
.1 flt-rences between the King Find his family. It
appears that when the Initiate Josef. was banished
to San Sebastian, her husband, M. Goell y Rent*,
decided to remain behind, to carry on the famous law
suit spinet the King. On the 7th inst., he went to
ray a visit to 0 1 Almon, governor of the
Ptilippinee, but the general being out he remained
'tilting with his wife in the salon. While here,
Marshal Nerves: was announced. The mar-
shal so sweet saw M. Clued. y Renter than he
addressed some orates invective to him, and
appeared to provoke a quarrel. It appears that
M. Gull y Rente bade the Marshal be calm and
polite in the presence of a lady, and assured him that
he would cell upon him to answer for his conduct.
Accordingly, two friends of M. Guell y
Generals Prim and Alesson—arranged the prelimi-
naries of a duel that was to have taken place on the
mcrning of the Bth. Rumours of the coming fight
got abroad, and at midnight on the 7th the governor
of Madrid went to M. Goon y Route's house, with
some police agents, sod forbade him to leave his
tome. leaving policemen to keep him within sight.
The Queen, on the other hand, informed of theim-
pending combat, sent the military governor of
Madrid to the Marshal, and demanded from him
his word of honour that he would not fight. It
appears that M. Ow 11 y Rents declined to give his
parole that he would not fight; and that kis two
seconds had demanded an apology from Names.
taking up the matter very warmly. It is said that
this incident has done Manhal Narvees great harm
in Madrid, especially as the hidden motive that die.
tated the Marshal's insult was a political one. It
appears that some time back M. Guell y Rent*, who
is a liberal, spoke in the Cortes in the most energetic
manner against the largesse scattered by Nerve.: in
powerpower, as well as, I believe, against the versatility of
,
political principles. It is probable, I may add,
that the sequel to this little storm may afford more
amusing scandal to thecitiasna of Madrid—although
Nurses, since become Prime Minister, has slightly
the advantage of his adversary.

" Full and complete fulfilment of the Treaty of

"The great Powers are begged to take into

desires to develops its resources, to become a strong
Power, and to be no longer a source of anxiety to the
West. Its rivalries of influence, and the lamentable,
misunderstanding on the Treaty of Paris, have pre-
vented it from occupying itself with the great com-
mercial and financial measures which its wants
require.

" Two days later—that is to say the 30th—M. Re-
terhesy had a second interview WilthL de Neseelrode,
with whom he remained closeted more than an hour.
Our correspondents write that this conference was com-
pletely takes to with mutual recrimination, and that
the special and preens object of the mission of th
Austrian Minister was not raised. On January
tle anxiety at Bt. Petersburg was great; the war
party and the pease party were engaged in an obsti-
nate contest, each seeking to obtain domination in
the Council of the Empire. M. de Neseelrode
seemed to incline to • pacific solution ; Privy
Councillor &unwise, amebae of the Senate,
the most important personage of the Min-
istry of Foreign Affairs after the minister him-
self, was foe war. That which gives strength to
the war party is the fact that it contains the greatest
names of the old Muscovite nobility, while the nobi-
lity of the provinces called German, belong, for the
most part, to the pease party. Moreover the war
party is seconded by the ineenant lotion of the
clergy. At Moscow the bellicose opinion has
undivided sway ; it dominates also in the
provinces; at St. Petersburg the pacific opt.',
neon reigns in society, bat it is in the mino-
rity amongst the same. This division exists
around the Emperor, and even In the midst of the
Imperial family. The Elapses mother desires the
end of the war, and lases no occasion for recommend-
ing peace; the missing Empress inclines more to the
side of war. The Emperor has not declared himself ;1
it is believed that he hesitates before the immense
responsibility of the decision which is expected from
him."

My Lord,—Notwithstanding the recent severe
weather, the thermometer a few nights ago having
folks nearly to sero, the general state of health of
the army has continued good. The roads are in fair
working order ; and though the efficiency of the loco-
' motive engines was impaired by the frost, the damage
has been made good.
The final operations on the docks have been Dome-
what delayed on our side by the influx of water, and
by the trotting of pumps.
The fire from the forts on the northern aide of the
harbour continues, and it is at times heavy ; but the
eassalties, I am happy to say, are few.
There has been no movement of importance on the
part of the enemy in our neighbourhood of late. A
detachment of French troops surprised a Cossack post
near Teilion, a few days ago, killing several men,
and taking the rest prisoners.
The general drill of the arm makes good progress.
