CONSTANTINOPLE, JAx. 14.
No Wildest of the mealiest importance has occurred
during the week.- •
I bad 000ssionsfieral menthe ago to advert, in the
course of ray etwoospeidemen to the singular and
anomalous position mimesis the Turkish government
is placed, and the impeesibility of preserving public
order, owing to Az capitulations. By these
it is rovided thatatigio,pmus and European Pri444B,
whatever their and enormities, shall in no-
wise be =tenable to • laws of the realm, and meat
be delivered up for punishment to their respective
withaeities. This place has thus been unfortunately
fat keg years the refuge 'of sianere—vegrants, pick-
pearls, Ismiits of all setiese—who, if captured ire
Jakob by die lessi police, after a short
at the sleds-heeseatte d=omed and rescued by
their prepistees. The bee hese for ages a stand-
beg sad meet foneihelie 'Ames% and appears
latterly to have sotpdsell still Isere terrible propor-
tions. In this, of oonses, as In meet other matters,
there is a peed Weer
_against the Turks—and the
apathy and learraki local police is a subject
of continual mad wry severe comment. In point of
het, however, there are not, I believe, anywhere
more daring, devoted, and intelligent alguastla than
those of this country, were they bat free to palm,
unmolested, their minima and oftentimes most dan-
gerous occupations. Bat these poor devils are in
oontinnal perplexity, in coesequenee of the causes
above assigned—the fear on the one hand of their
own, sad on the other, of their European
masters. The unenviable distinction of rescuing
malefactors from the hands of justice has devolved
unavoidably, it is tree, most of all perhaps on our
own authorities, owing to the' close relations and
blissful contiguity of this capital to certain dependen-
cies of the British crown. The dregs of the populace
in those parte, the veriest vagaboode, it is said, are,
comparatively speaking, gentle and peaceable enough
at home, but turn out the most ferocious desperadoes
from the very instant they set loot se Turkish soil.
Armed to the tooth, with stiletto and yaghtagen,
they lark chiefly in the recesses of the Frank quar-
ter, and hold their nightly councils, despite all local
surveillance ; sad if captured at length, perchance in
the commission of some atrocious act, and having
been delivered op to their owners, they are either im-
prisoned or perhaps sent out of the country—home or
elsewhere—bat sure to return promptlyafter this pur-
gatorial trip, regenerated sad ready for their wonted
crimes and depredations. This state of things, as
may be easily imagined, is really intolerable, and en-
dangers, above all, the lives and property of the
European °elegy, so that the representatives of the
great Powers have seen at length the necessity of de-
vising, in concert with the Saltan's ministers, a sew
project of police regulations, which, it I. hoped, will
meet the anent of all governments. The details of
this moat beneficial measure have not yet, of course,
transpired; bat it is said that quo domiciliary visits ot
the local police, in company with any European eon •
stable will form a principal feature In the proposed
regulations. The Winos of mime are necessarily all
well known to the Turkish police I bet so long as
they were confined to the Frank quarter, you are
palate aware, it was impossible to and effect a
capture.

for scores of others, to tow vessels detained
in the Eosins and Bea of Marmara by contrary
winds. British trade and commercial enterprise have •
acquired considerable extension from the events of
the war. New firms are deity springing top, and our
coin of every kind is widely circulated and thankfully
received with a "Bone Johnny." In short, we are
rapidly progressing in all matters ; sod railroads,
canals, and other useful publics works, promise ere
long to add lustre to the present Sultan's reign, and
develop materially the resources of his splendid em-
pire. The telegraph wires are already in full play,
to the utter amazement of some primitive natives,
who Kest and watch wistfully for the letter-box,
expected naturally to shoot like an arrow along the
r lime.
