THE H011E14'41E1) JOURNEY OF THE SULTAN.
The Indipendasee Beige says :—" The interview of the
Sultan and the King of Prussia, which was to have taken
place at Coblentz next Friday, i 1 advanced several days.
King Leopold will await him at Ghent, where the
Ottoman sovereign will stop and breakfast with his
Majesty ; he will sleep that night at Aix-la-Chapelle ; it
will be on the 23rd, therefore, that the King of Prussia and
the Sultan will meet at Coblentz. From Coblentz the
Sultan will proceed to Vienna, probably by Nuremberg.
The mourning of the Austrian court will prevent the orga-
nisation of any grand Ma in honour of its guest and the
reception will be quite private. But it will not be the same
at Pesth, which Abdul Asia is afterwards to pass
through in returning to his dominions. There the govern-
ment and population of Hungary wish to celebrate in an
exceptional manner the passage of the Ottoman sovereign,
in recognition of the hospitality afforded by Turkey—not
without exposing herself to some risk and numerous
complaints—towards the life and property of the many
Magyar exiles defeated in their struggle against Austria
and Russia. Several of the men who now sit
at Pesth in the councils of the King of
Hungary were obliged at that period to seek an asylum
under the banner of the crescent. Now that the hour of
reparation Las come for them, it is but natural that they
should wish to show to the Commander of the Faithful
how well they remember the kindness of his ,government."
FOREIGN-OFFICE, JULY 22.—The Queen has been

sul at Liverpool for the United States of VenezueLL—

-----
ENGLISH ENTHUSIASM TOWARDS THE BELGIANS.
—M. Louis Blanc, after describing in the Paris Temps
the reception a,oorded to the Belgians, says ;—" 0
English people, unintelligible people, how is it that,
having so much sagacity in many things, you have so little
measure ! England certainly ought to have welcomed in
a cordial manner the eons of that Belgium by whom her
own SODS had been so warmly welcomed, and who is in
every way deserving of her sympathies. But an enthu-
siasm which attains such proportions runs the risk of
appearing childish. Can it be that in receiving with open
arms the Belgian civic guards England is taking her pre-
cautions against Fran..? The English papers say no.
" Honi soit qui mal y tense."
BARRED'S BANK PROPERTY.—Yesterday a valu-
able estate, comprising the building occupied by the noto-
rious Berned's Bank and • block of buildings in Lord.
street and Harrington-street, used as offices, Sm., was
offered for sale by public auction, through Mr. Branch, in
Liverpool. The bidding was very languid, and commenced
at 35,000/. and closed at 3 i,OOO/., which being oonsiderably
below the reserve bid, the sale of the property was with-
drawn.

THE DEPARTURE OF THE SULTAN.

The first halt yesterday was made at Tunbridge, a
station which was unfortunately neglected upon his
Majesty's arrival, and to which some atonement
was due for the slight with which it was then
treated. Tunbridge, however, amply avenged
itself. Last Friday week the principal inhabitants
of the neighbourhood had assembled to greet the
illustrious visitor, a guard of honour was ranged
upon the platform, and as the train came in sight
the band struck up the Turkish Hymn. But un-
recognising all these—for Tunbridge—elaborate
preparations the royal train passed rapidly by,
and all that the spectators could discern of the
imperial party was a confusion of blue uniforms,
gold embroidery, and red fezzes. Yesterday as
the train ran into the station there was no
guard of honour, no band, no civic dignitaries—
has Tunbridge a corporation I—anxious to welcome
the Commander of the Faithful with an address of
homage and congratulation. A few visitors from
the Wells thronged the not too extensive platform,
some scores of rustics flattened their faces against
the rails, and taxed the energies of the county police
to restrain them within due bounds, while a dozen
or two of variously coloured banners, about the
size of the moral pocket-handkerchiefs which Mrs.
Jellaby desired to export for the benefit of the inha-
bitants of the Cannibal Islands, floated in the sum-
mer breeze. The only other stoppage between
London and Dover was at Folkestone junction.
Here there was no attempt at decoration ; but, as
at other principal points along the line, a consider-
able number of the gentry of the neighbourhood
had gathered together at the station, and cheered
the royal train as it passed by. At this station the
Prince of Wales and the Duke of Cambridge left
the carriage in which they had hitherto travelled,
and joined the Sultan in that which his Majesty had
hitherto occupied alone.
Upon his arrival at Dover, the Sultan was
received by the general commanding the
garrison, and Admiral Pasley, who had come
from Portsmouth in order to accompany his
Majesty across the Channel, As his Majesty
alighted from his carriage he was saluted by a guard
of honour of the bled Regiment, and was loudly
cheered both inside the station and as he passed
outside to the Lord Warden Hotel, where luncheon
had been prepared for him. The weather was re-
markably fine, but as a fresh breeze was blowing,
and a roughish sea was running in Dover Bay, some
doubts were at one time entertained whether or
not his Majesty would embark. After a brief in-
terval, however, he made up his mind to face not
the danger but the inconveniences of the passage,
and the same train which had brought him from
London conveyed himself and his royal companions
to the Osborne, which was ljing alongside the Ad-
reiralty Pier, and on either aide the gangway lead-
ing to which was drawn up an unusually strong
of honour, composed of detachments
frltur the bth, the Royal Engineers, and the
Royal Artillery. As the Sultan passed from
the pier to the deck of the Osborne the troops pre-
seated arms, the band played the Turkish air, and
the guns of the Castle, the Drop battery, and the
Western forts thundered out a royal salute. In
the harbour lay a powerful squadron of ships of the
royal navy, including the Minotaur, the Achilles,
the Lord Warden, the Liverpool, and several other
ships, under the command of Admiral Warden,
which were to act as a convoy to the Imperial yacht ;
but, although the vessels had saluted at the time
that his Majesty arrived in Dover, they did not re-
spond to the fire from the fortifications. The
Prince of Wales and the Duke of Cambridge ac-
companied his Majesty on board, and remained a
short time in conversation with him (through the
medium of an interpreter). As soon as they came
aslore, the ropes were cast off, and the Osborne
steamed away towards Calais accompanied by her
escort. Mr. Corry, the First Lord, and Admiral
Pasley remained on board, but Lord H.
Lennox, and the other noblemen and
gentlemen who had accompanied the Sultan
from town, came on shore with their royal
highnesses, and, after a short interval devoted
to luncheon at the Lord Warden, returned to
London by the special train which had conveyed
them to Dover. On the return journey some ex-
periments were made with the system of signalling
between passengers and guards, upon Mr. Walker's
principle, and the illustrious passengers expressed
themselves highly satisfied with the results.
The time occupied on each journey was about
two hours and ten minutes. The Sultan was so
well pleased with the ease and rapidity with which
he had been conveyed on the London and South
Eastern line, both upon his arrival and departure,
that he presented to the company, by the hands
of Mr. Lionel Moore, a sum of 5001. to be divided
among the officers and staff who had been con-
cerned in facilitating his journeys.
We regret to learn that an accident, resulting in
loss of life to one man and serious injuries to
two others, occurred while firing the salute at the
heights at over, owing to an explosion.
MUNIFICENCE OF THE SULTAN. Yesterday
morning the Lord Mayor received from Fuad Pacha, the
Turkish Minister for Foreign Affairs, • communication in
the French language, forwarding a donation by his Impe-
rial Majesty the Sultan of 2,500/., to be distributed among
the indigent classes of the City of London. The commu-
nication, dated the 22nd inst., translated, runs as follows:
"My Lord—His Majesty the Sultan, touched by the re-
ception which has been awarded him by the City of London,
and desiring to evince his sentiment of lively gratitude
to the inhabitants of this great and illustrious metropolis,
which has been the pride of the civilised world, has thought
right to meet the well known views of his hosts by
praying you to accept a sum of 2,500/., to be distributed
among the indigent classes of the city. I discharge not
only a duty, but an honour, in forwarding to you that sum,
and I am happy to offer you the homage of my high con-
sideration. (Signed) FUAD.—To the Lord Mayor of the
City of London."
ENTERTAINMENT TO HIS HIGHNESS FCAD PACHA.
—A sumptuous entertainment was on Monday afternoon
given at Richmond by the directors of the Imperial Otto-
man Bank to his Highness Fuad Pacha, through whore
instrumentality very mainly is owing the existence of that
important national establishment of Turkey. About sixty
persons sat down to the elijeamer, served in the new
coffee-room at the Star and Garter, which was elegantly
decorated with tropical plants and a profusion of choice
flowers. The viand' and fruits were of the most recherche
description. During the dijeuner the bend of the Grenadier
Guards performed a selection of music. The chair was
ably filled by Mr. Layard, M.P., who, after luncheon I
bad been served, proposed " The Health of her Majesty
the Queen," followed by that of the Sultan. The Chair-
man then proposed, in an admirable speech, delivered in
the French language, " The Health of their distinguished
Guest," to which his excellency replied in the same lan- •
guage, in words, spoken with evident sincerity and
feeling, expressive of the gratification which his Sove-
reign the Sultan had derived from his visit to
England—where even the far-famed hospitality of
the East had been outdone. The Pacha concluded an able
and characteristic speech by proposing a toast to the con-

tinned cordial allianoe of England and Turkey. The com-
pany included his Highness Fuad Pacha, accompanied by
his Excellency Djemil Pacha, his Excellency Rusdem
Pacha. Aarify Iley, Asll Bey, and Blacks Bey, Viscount
and Viscountess Strangford, Mr. and Lady Charlotte
Locker, Lady Augusta and Mira Stanley, Major. General
Sir Henry and Lady Rawßoson. the Hon. T. C. and Mrs.

Countess Russell, Lord Stanley, Viscount Stratford de
Redcliffe, Lord Strathnairn, and many others were pre-
vented by previous engagements from accepting invita-
tions to meet the Pacha. Tha party separated about ball-
past five o'clock, adjourning fbr the most part to London,
to attend the conversations at the Horticultural Sceletyt
Gardens, at which his Majesty the Sultan atitstltd.

THE HU.NTIN9DON.MEETI.NO.-TIIISDAT.

The opening day of this meeting was in every way a success,
all the neoemary economies combining to render It such.
Several of the laading patrons of the turf and bookmakers made
the suggestion that in. meeting should next year follow Stam-
ford in the same week, the latter to be altered from Thursday
and gritty to Tuesday and Wednesday. His grace entirely
with the proposition., and promised to confer with the
d Marquis of Exeter, who directs the ashen Stamford, upon the
advisabflity of carrying Into effect the plan submitted. The
racing, generally speaking, was of an Interesting character, but
