TURKEY.

Accounts from Constantinople, of the sth, state
that the determination of the Bank not to receive
paper money (kaimes) of the Government in pay-
ment of bills on Europe had caused, in addition to
great perturbation in the money market, a fall in
the paper money of from 7 to 8 per cent.; and a ,
total disappearance of specie. The directors of the
Bank, when called on for explanations, declared
that they had not sufficient confidence in the
kaimes to exchange them for bills of exchange,
which would have to be paid in Europe in specie,
and that sooner than do so they would wind up
their affairs. A deputation, consisting of 10 of the
principal merchants of different nations, was nomi-
nated to make known to the Government the lament-
able situation of commerce, and it was to have an
interview with the Minister of Finance on the 6th.
It was believed that the Grand Vizier, and the
other members of the Cabinet, would attend the
conference. In the Haouran hostilities had been
suspended, in consequence of the commencement of
the bad season, and it was hoped that an arrange-
ment would be come to. The English had offered
their mediation, and they exercise a very great in-
fluence over the Druses. Order had been re-
established at Bagdad, and the Bedouins had
ceased to intercept the communications. . The
youngest brother of the Shah of Persia was m that
city. He had been compelled to fly from Teheran
in consequence of being suspected of having be-
longed to the sect of the Babis. The Minister of
England aided him in his flight, and gave him a
strong recommendation to Colonel Rawlinson, con-
sul-general at Bagdad. At first the Governor of
Bagdad refused to receive him ; Colonel Rawlinson
thereupon made the Prince put on an English uni-
form, and took him to the consulate. The Prince
continued to reside in the consul-general's house,
and to wear the uniform. Mahommed Khan,
Minister of Persia at Constantinople, had
died. M. de Lavalette, the French Minister,
was to have an audience of the Sultan
on the question of the Holy Sepulchre, which has
not yet been settled. It was said that the minister
would be moderate in form, but would firmly de-
fend what he considered the rights of France. The
Ministry had not become consolidated. The recall
of Said Pacha, brother-in-law of the Sultan, fa-
vourite of the Ulemas, and chief of the retrograde
party, would, it was thought, increase its diffi-
culties.

His Grace the Duke of Norfolk, with the view of
further benefiting his tenants, recently dispatched his head
groom to Scotland, for the purpose of procuring the best
Clydesdale stallions that could be found, and his grace's
servant—an excellent judge of that class of horses—has
returned, bringing with him one of the finest horses ever
bred in the north ; he is called " The Scottish Cham-
pion," and is remarkable, though only five years old, for
having gained no less than five annual prizes. The
horse will be located at Littlehampton during the coming
season, and the cross of the Clydesdale blood will doubt-
lessly be found valuable among the Sussex mares.
HOLYHEAD HARBOUR WORKS, FRIDAY.—In addition
to the ravages made' by the recent floods, a fearful
thunder storm raged yesterday at Holyhead, which has
caused much damage in the locality. A dreadful acci-
dent has occurred at the old harbour, by which a man
named William Hughes has been deprived of life. He
was engaged on the landing jetty, when one of the
cranes, being too heavily laden, fell with terrific violence
upon the deceased, and hurled him into the sea. Im-
mediate help was at hand, but though picked up in a
few minutes life was extinct, the head of the unfortunate
man having been nearly severed from the body by the
force of the blow. He has left a wife and four children.
At the new harbour works, on Tuesday, two men were
at work on a stage nearly thirty feet high, when the end
of one of the planks on which they stood gave way, pre-
cipitating both to the ground. One happily escaped
with comparatively little injury ; but the other, a fine
young man of nineteen, named Griffith Williams, re-
ceived such serious injury that he has since died.. Our
correspondent adds, that serious differences still con-
tinue to exist between the contractors for the works and
the men in their employ.
