TURKEY.

Constantinople letters and journals to the 30th
of July have reached us, but their contents are
not of much importance. The alleged pro-
bability of a change of Ministry is said to
have originated in certain differences of opi-
nion between Fuad Pacha, the Grand Vizier,
and Halil-Pacha, who conducts the Ministry
of War, relative to a concentration of troops
at Sebumla. Although officially contradicted, the
modificetion spoken of was not altogether dis-
believed in the Turkish capital, and a certain
alarm was felt there at the idea of Fuad Pacha
withdrawing from the head of the Government.

The Acclimatisation Society of Great Britain.

The monthly meeting of the council was held at two
o'clock on Wednesday, the sth inst., at the offices of the
society, 3, Duke-street, Adelphi—E. Wilson, Esq., V.P.,
in the chair. Present, Messrs. Wilson, Waterhouse,
Hawkins, J. J. Stone, J. Bush, F. Backland, and J. Lowe.

The following candidates for admission into the society
were proposed and elected :—as life members, Lord Brown-

low, Sir Harry Stacey, Bart., M.P., W. Morrison, Esq.,
M.P., F. H. N. G. Calthorpe, Esq., M.P,, and E. H.
Moscrop, Esq. As annual subscribers, his Grace the Arch-
bishop of Dublin, D. F. Fortescue, Esq., G. A. Sala, Esq.,
H. Early, Esq., B. Sharp, Esq., Capt. Grant, J. Pilking-
ton, Esq., M.P., and E. A. Moriarty, Esq.

Mr. Lowe reported the arrival of eggs of the Bombay
Cynthia, and also a box of live worms of the same species.
The former were procured through the kindess of M. name,
a member of the council of the French Socitlte d'Acclima-
tation ; and the latter had been sent by M. Guerin.-Mene-
vine, director of the sericultural branch of the imperial farm
at Vincennes. The eggs were all hatchcd out, and the worms
were all under the care of Mr. Bash, the honorary treasurer.
It was ordered that specimens should be sent to members
requiring the same.

A letter was read from Mr. Stone, a member of the coun-
cil, detailing a scheme which he had in view for obtaining
birds of game from India, through the aid of Government.
Mr. Stone handed in a list of the birds which it was desir-
able to obtain, and explained the manner in which the birds
could be collected, and how the breeding of these birds
,a I:esr, ande
rai
might be made a profitable source of income to the society,
The following resolution was agreed to :
Indetanovpehrneoars
That Messrs. Buckland, Bush, and Stone be elected a
committee, to obtain
and to endeavour to
birds of game for the society,
i 'l3
porttiSotnaste° andt vet the
assistance of the Secretary
of
that they of India for that purpose, and
' ty's funds to a moderate extent for payment
pledge the some
of the expenses.
A letter was read from Mr. Coles, of Bath (a brother of
Mr. Coles, of Lidgetown, Southern Africa), stating that he
could send elands at moderate price. It was resolved
unanimously ;
T y
hat Mr. Bush be authorised to Write to Mr. Coles, in
is letter
repl to h , to obtain two female elands and one
male for the society, at the cost named in his letter; and
that arrangements he made for shipping and transmitting
them, provided the cost be not more than £4O per animal.
A premium of £lO each to be offered for each living animal
safely delivered.

It was reported by the members who had visited the
Alexandra Park, at Muswell-hill, that, although the site was
a very beautiful one, and apparently favourable to the health
of birds and animals, the arrangements at the park were not
yet sufficiently settled to warrant the Council in recom-
mending the society to accept the liberal offer of the direc-
tors, inasmuch as a greater immediate outlay would be
required than the society would be justified in subtracting
from its funds. The secretaries were ordered to write a
letter of thanks to the directors of the Alexandra Park
Company, and an expression of regret that the society is as
yet unable to avail itself of their liberal offer.
Mr. Hawkins proposed that some arrangement should be
made with Mr. Bush for the temporary occupation of part
of bis premises, At present the society had no place which
it could properly call its own, and where persons desirous
of seeing what the society is doing might go and judge for
themselves, without trespassing upon the privacy of Mr.
Bush. Eventually it was agreed—
" That Mr. Hawkins, Mr. Stone, and Mr. Buckland be
appointed a committee to arrange with Mr. Bush the terms
between himself and the society for the accommodation and
maintenance of animals, birds, &d,, belonging to the
society."

Mr. Buckland presented a parcel of seeds of the Elephant
Grass, which had been sent to him.. These were ordered
to be distributed.

With reference to the "Gold Schley," or spotted tench,
presented to the society by Mr. Berney, it was resolved
that they should be entrusted to Mr. Higiord Burr, Alder-
maston Court, near Reading, with a view to breeding.

BOINHOMMIE OF THE EMPEROR NAPOLEON 111.
v
—Another letter from Vichy relates the following
anecdote of the Emperor :—" At the end of the wee'k as his
Majesty was taking one of his usual walks, a group of pea..
sants, who were crowding round to gat a iew, ware

ordered to stand back by on officer of the imperial suite. In
reply to this injunction, an old peasant said : 'Oh I sir, you
see him every day, whenever you please ; but we came half
a day's journey every other year to admire him. Be just,
sir, and lot us see him at our ease.' The Emperor, who
was conversing with Prince Murat at the time, heard every
word of the old !mama request, and, turning to him, took
