TURKEY.

CONSTANTINOPLE, June s.—Aali Pacha, has not
yet returned from Vienna.
Mehemet Ali Pacha is still in retirement, as well
as the well-known Mustapba Pacha, of Candia,
the ex-Grand Vizier. It is surmised that the
former is destined ere long to the functions of Lord
High Admiral, which, if true, however it might
tend to the efficiency of the department, would
not tend much, I fear, to the harmony of the situa-
tion.
On the 30th ult., his excellency Mouchtar Pacha,
the newly-appointed Minister of Finance, addressed
to four of the principal commercial firms of this
city, Messrs. Flori, Tubini and Corpi, Camondo,
and Jacques Allear, the following circular, of which
I alsek forward a translation :
" A momentary exigency having arisen, relative to
munitions and various stores to be conveyed to the
interior, and which the Imperial iTreasury finds
difficult to provide for at the present moment, the
Sultan's Government has resolved to contract for that
object a loan of 50,000,000 Piastres. Hence, sir, you
are requested to co-operate in this transaction, and fa-
vour us with your presence to-morrow, 8 o'clock (34
p.m.), at the Imperial Treasury, where a meeting will
be held to deliberate on the mode of execution.
. (Signed) " MOUSHTAIt.

THE PRINCIPALI TIES.
BVCHABEST, May 24.—The Austrians appeared
to temper their brutality for a short time after the
proclamation of martial law in the Principalities
—doubtless to assuage the irritation caused by
this law, which holds death in suspense , over
all our heads. However, after the lapse of eight
short days, they have recommenced their brigand-
age and assassinations with more audacity than ever.
The day before yesterday they murdered a (male)
cook and the son of the priest Nedeles, of the parish
of Batishete. The same day four other persons were
killed by them at the fair ofMoschi, outsidethe gates
of the town. Yesterdayanothermurder was commit-
ted at the barriere of Tesana. The Austrian govern-
ment would seem to regard these crimes as merely
a guarantee for tale preservation of "law and
order," which it affects to re-establish in the Prin-
cipalities ; for the only punishment inflicted on
the guilty is to send them back to Austria to serve
in other regiments. Count Coronini lately caused
20 unoffending Hungarians, who believed them-
selves in security here, to be loaded with chains
and conducted in to the Austrian States. One of
them—an artist, a painter—died of, the torture in
this town. A few- days ago the Austrians burned
and destroyed, in the garden of Scoufa—before the
barrieres of Bucharest—several thousand muskets,
which had been taken from the rural population,
and deposited in on e of the magazines of the capi-
tal. Thus Austria is permitted to destroy the arms
of a people ardently, desirous to fight against Rus-
sia on the side of tlie allies, and to replace them by
her own bayonets, which, in the Principalities,
I have hitherto only served to protect the Russians
towards the Pruth, and which may soon perhaps
be turned against Turkey and the allies.

MONUMENT TO O'ColumPtt.—A numerously attended
meeting was held at Limerick on Tuesday, for the pur-
pose of erecting a statue to the late Mr. O'Connell in
that city. A letter was read from Mr. Hogan, the
sculptor, in which he proposed to execute a statue, eight
feet higb, in Portland, or Caen stone, for the sum of
6001. The subscriptions to be received will govern the
committee in the character of the proposed statue.
ROYAL BOTANIC SOCIETY, REGENT'S-PARK. -The
flower chow which took place at these gardens yesterday
afternoon was of the usual profuse end magnificent kind.
The weather, however, was sadly unpropitious, and the
thousands of gaily-dressed fashionables who were pre-
sent were more than once driven for shelter into the large
conservatory at the termination of the esplanade, and the
tents containing the flowers and fruits. Between the
showers the military bands played with their accustomed
excellence, but the enjoyment was terribly interfered with
by the rlin, which, though only occurring at intervals,
necessarily chilled the air, and rendered the gardens any-
thing but fit or pleasant for -promenading.
