TURKEY.

We have received the letters brought by the
Caire from Constantinople. Gen. Bizot was buried
on the 17th with the usual military honours. The
camp of Maslac at Constantinople begins to present
a very aLimated appearance, 14,500 men have already
arrived there, and others are cowing every day.
Two regiments of Cuirassiers are on their march
from Adrianople. M. Cunduriotti, the new Greek
Minister, has had his first audience of the Sultan.
The speech of the Greek Minister was very dig-
nified, and the reply of the Sultan full of kindness.
The accounts from Asia are satisfactory ; the army
has been reorganised by the exertions of Vassit
Pacha and eilliarns Paella. The revolt in Kur-
distan has been repressed. Letters from Trehisond
announce that 40,000 Circassians, united to a part
of the Turkish army, were about to march on

FRANCE.
The trial of Pianori for the attempt to assassinate
the Emperor has been fixed for Monday next, and
will, probably, be brought to a termination the
same day. M. Paillet has undertaken his defence,
which can hardly be any other than "extenuating
circumstances," founded on temporary insanity.
Of the fact itself, which passed before so many
witnesses, there can be no doubt. The Constitu-
tion not excluding the ordinary tribunals from
trying such crimes, it is very judicious on the part
of the Government to refrain from the ostentatious
display of a High Court of Justice, which would
invest the assassin with more than the interest of a
♦ulgar criminal. It is whispered that he has made
some interesting disclosures. If he has said any-
thing, it is perhaps relating to the organisation of
a society of assassins, from whom such emissaries
as he is are chosen by lot. Some arrests are said
to have been made among the refugees in Paris.
Count de Loewenheim, Envoy Extraordinary
and Minister Plenipotentiary of the King of
Sweden, and Count de Moltke, Envoy Extraor
dinary and Minister Plenipotentiary of the King
of Denmark, had the honour of being received
yesterday by the Emperor, and presented to his
Majesty the congratulations of their Sovereigns on
his escape from assassination.

stantinople, on the 23d ult., was composed as fol-

The committee reassembled this tnornirg at the usual
hour.

day. Amongst other matters, he stat.d that the first
requisition sent to him fir winter clothing was in July,
1854 ; and was for 150,000 woollen socks, 90,000
flannel drawers, and 50,000 woollen drawers. A supply
of Quartermaster-Generals stores were applied for in
March. If any deficiency existed in the latter it was
the fault of the Quartermaster-General for not ordering
a proper quantity. He denied that any of the bedsteads
sent out were incomplete or deficient of legs, &c. He
did not believe that the boots and shoes were too small,
because they were made on long-established specifica
tions, and he did not think the size of then) could have
varied. The boots and shoes hitherto, had been found
to answer for size in all climates and under all circum-

stances.
By the Chairman—Considerable difficulty was found
in obtaining steamers to convey out the stores, and they
were accordingly delayed for some time.
the Chairman—According to your account, then, no
person was to blame ?
Sir T. Hastings replied that he had fairly given his
opinion that the delay arose from the great difficulty of
providing steamers.
Lord Seymour said the committee had been informed
by Captain Tailon, who embarked a quantity of tools in
his vessel at Constantinople, that he was told to con-
vey them to Varna, but that neither the Quartermaster-
General nor the Commissariat would take them ; and
inquired whether that went to show that there was a
Quartermaster as well as a Quartermaster-General there?
Sir T. Hastings replied that that was the case. A quan-
tity of Canada boots and socks were sent out. The
committee, by comparing some of the boots at present
at the Tower, would find that the boots sent out were
adapted for all sizes of feet.
By General Peel—Their clothing had been supplied
independent of the Ordnance by purchases made under
the direction -of the Secretary for War and the Secretary
at War, the result of which was that they were bidding
against themselves in the same market. With respect
to fur caps, they were in treaty with a person to pur-
chase them at ss. 10d. each, and, in the interim, the Sec-
retary for War made an arrangement to purchase them
at 6s. Bc.l. The parties in question heard that the Go-
vernment ha I raised the price in the market, and they
were unable to make the purchases at the original
price agreed upon. When witness was required
to provide a supply of winter clothing, he was
not informed that the army would wirter in the Crimea.
He was not able to say on what department the duty
of providing such articles, if they were required, would
tall.
By Lord Seymour—He had made an application to
provide rifles in November, but it was not cairied into
effect until February.
Lord Seymour reminded the witness that the Duke
of Newcastle had stated that he would have ordered a
large quantity of rifles to be obtained from Liege, but
that it was contrary to the opinion of the Board of
Ordnance.
Sir T. Hastings denied that it was against the opinio❑
of the Board of Ordnance, but that it was simply against
his own opinion. He objected on the ground that it
would tend materially to affect if not destroy the gun
trade of this country, and that the gun nialors of Bir-
mingham would withdraw their capital from the trade.
The evidence principally, throughout the morning,
was of a very uninteresting character, aad had reference
to technical details of routine management under the
Ordnance department.

PEACOCK V. STOCKFORD-JUDGMENT.

Their lordships gave judgment in this appeal from the
decision of the Vice• Chancellor Kindersley this morning,
reversing the order of the Court below, without costs.
The question in this case related to the construction of
the will of the testator in the cause, but there was no
point involved that contained the least interest except to
the parties concerned.
