SUDDEN AND SHOCKING DEATH OP THE
WIPE OP THE TURKISH AMBASSADOR.

A distressing incident has to be recorded in con-
nexion with the festivities at the new India-office last
evening. Shortly after one o'clock Madame Musurue, wife
of the Turkish Ambassador, was seized with what appeared
to be a fit, but we deeply regret to state that it proved to be
a fatal attack, and that the unfortunate lady died in
the course of the night. The event has greatly shocked
the members of the diplomatic corps and our own
public circles, to whom the deceased bad long been
known. It will be seen by a report in another
colama of the Interview of the deputation from the
Reform Club with the Sultan, that his Majesty has been
much affected by the event. We believe information of
the cabunity was kept from him until this morning.

CABINET COIINCIL.—There will be a cabinet

THE SULTAN'S DEPARTURE. —Accorclingtopresent
arrangements, the Sultans expected to leave London on
Tuesday for the Continent.

The Advertiser is informed that the expenses of
the reception of the Sultan at Guildhall on Thursday
evening will not cost the corporation less than 20,0001.
According to the same ►uthority, the value of the gold
plate in the room in whiM the Sultan and his suite dined
"could not have been much under 1,000,0001." The various
gold services were lent for the occasion by the Lord Mayor
and the leading City companies.

The report of the committee appointed by the
cabinet to consider the Irish peers and commoners' pro.
gramme for the purchase and consolidation of the Irish
lines of railway will be submitted on Tuesday next to a
council of ministers specially convened for the purpose.
Their decision may reach the hands of the Marquis of
Clanricarde on the following morning.

Mr. Monsell, in a letter to a Limerick paper,
accounts for tie superiority in the market of the French
over Irish butter on the ground of greater cleanliness in
the manufacture, more suitable vessels, regularity of
quality, and equality of flavour,characteristics which Irish
butter lacks. Mr. Monsell believes if the Irish farmers
paid due attention to the manipulation of butter they
would h►ve no canes to fear competition with the best
makers in the world.

General Tiirr has addressed a letter to the editor
of the Hun, at Perth, in which he says :—" If we look
around we see how all nations are consolidating in groups,
and woe will be to us if we remain isolated, opposed to the
hatred of our neighbours. The greatest danger that-
threatens us oomes from the Muscovite. The only means
we have to remove this danger is to settle our relations
with Croatia on the basis of entire autonomy on either
side, and to fulfil all the reasonable demands of the na-
tionalities living within Hungary. Let us throw aside a
policy of jealousy and distrust. Do not let us see in every
shadow a reason for fear. Let us, on the contrary, hold
out a helping hand to the south and west Sclaves in their
endeavours for development. The Hungarians ought to
make it one of their chief tasks to assist the &laves in re-
obtaining their national life on the Muds of liberty. The
Muscovite can only promise them a great Selave empire, j
but no liberty, and it is only through liberty that we can
put an impassable barrier in the way of the Muscovite.'
