TURKEY.

A new change in the Ministry has taken place.
Aali Pacha has been put aside, and Mehement Ali
Pacha named Grand Vizir in his place. A certain
Mabmoud Pacha has, at the same time, been named
to the office of Grand Admiral. A complaint was
brought against Aali Pacha that business was not
transacted in order and with dispatch, and that peti-
tions on affairs long in suspense were daily presented
to the Sultan.
Mehemet Ali Pacha comes in with the moral sup-
port of the old Turkish party. He is a man of en-
ergy, haughty and proud in his demeanour, and
prejudiced against Christians. He has not, so far,
been in the civil Administration, and his dealings
with the diplomatic corps will be difficult. But you
may depend upon it the Vizir is impressed with the
❑ecessity of enforcing the laws with energy.
Sir H. Ward and family arrived at Constantinople
on the 2d instant, on board the lonian steamer the
lonic, and took up their quarters at the British
Palace et Therapia.
The British fleet has quitted the Turkish seas, for
the Tomair Islands. The Turks are mightily pleased
with the friendly intercourse that existed between
the Turkish and British fleets while at Vourla. It
is greatly regretted that Admiral Dundas did not
come up, and pay a flying visit to the capital.
From the frontiers of Persia intelligence had ar-
rived that the Turkish and Persian commission which
had been formed to settle the limits of the two coun-
tries had terminated its labours. The principal
Persian Commissioner, Mirza Djaffer Khan gave
some grand fetes to his Turkish colleagues, and
caused military manoeuvres to be executed by the
garrison of Mahlon. Some letters from Persia
announce that the plague had broken out in that
country, near the frontiers of the Turkish territory; ,
but the Journal de Constantinople says that this news
requires confirmation. It adds that, if true, the
Government will take all measures to prevent it
from spreading in its provinces.
The last accounts from Aleppo, in the Portafoglio
Maltese, bring the intelligence that Omer Effendi,
chief of the Municipal Council of Antioch, one of the
most influential members of the body of the Ulemne,
has been condemned by the special tribunal of Con-
stantinople appointed to try him, to imprisonment for
life in the tortrees of Belgrade, for the murder of
Father Basil, of Novara, sixteen months ago. His
wife and children have also been exiled from Antioch.
As the punishment of death has been abolished in
Turkey, the above is the severest punishment that
could be inflicted.

DEATH FRON STAEVATION.—Yesterday Mr.
Wakely resumed, at the Harrow, Dollisbrook, ate inquiry
touching the death of an aged female, which had been ad-
journed in order that a post mortem examination might be
made, and the deceased's relatives discovered. It appeared
that at ten o'clock on Friday morning a man named Wag-
staff discovered deceased, in a lane ajoining Frith Manor,
crouched up against some palings. A man named Robinson
said that some time before the discovery of the body a va-
grant named John Young met him, and said that, as he was
going through the lane in question, he saw deceased lying
insensible and half-imbedded in the clay, out of which he
released her, and stuck her against the palings, where he
left her. Although Robinson mentioned this to several
other parties, no one unfortunately went to her assistance.

but that they belonged to the higher class of society.
