ceeding to midday prayer to off a thanks-
giving for his safe return.
The artillery ground at Tophane is one of the
most beautiful public places of Constantinople. Ad-
joining the landing steps a triumphal arch had been
raised, decorated with every description of arms
and armour, both modern and ancient, arranged in
panoplies. It was at this place that the Sultan
landed, amid every demonstration of loyalty and en-
thusiasm. Here he was received by the Ministers,
the high functionaries of the State, the Church and
judicial dignitaries (ulenzahs), headed by the Sheik-
u'.-Islam, and all the civil and military authorities.
Without halting he proceeded to the Mosque hard
by, while the glittering cortege went in procession
to the Palace, there to await his presence at the
levee (riktab) which he was to hold afterwards.
Early in the morning it had been intimated
officially to Sir Henry Bulwer, as doyen of
the foreign representatives here, that the Sultan
would receive the diplomatic body at twelve
o'clock. Accordingly, a little before that time, and
previous to the return of the Sultan from Mosque,
the Ambassadors and Ministers of the different
nations, accompanied by a complete staff of score
taries and attaches, proceeded in gay uniform to the
Palace. By the time that they had all congregated
the Sultan left Mosque, and, escorted by a regiment
of mounted Zouaves of the Guards and the Cent
Gaides in Spahis uniforms, rode from Tophane to
the Palace, amid the eager and acclaiming multi-
tude. I was sufficiently near to see him ride into
the Palace-yard. He was mounted on a magnificent
white Arab, and was looking the very picture of
conscious sovereignty and power. Shortly after his
arrival at the palace he summoned the foreign re-
presentatives to his presence. Sir Henry I3ulwer,
in his name and that of his colleagues, addressed
him a few well-chosen words, expressing the grati-
fication they felt at welcoming him again in his
capital. In acknowledgment, the Sultan, through
the medium of Aali Pasha, made some graceiul re-
marks, and laid some stress on the manner in which
he had been received by the Consular authorities
during his progress. This terminated the cere-
monial of the day.
But, brilliant as had been the proceedings of the
day, they were eclipsed by the beautiful spectacle
which was witnessed on that and the two suceessive
nights. On these nights Constantinople

Leaving the Bosphorus, and proceeding into the

of a perfect blaze of light. Never have I witnessed
such a general illumination. From the Pasha's
Palace to the humblest cafene, from the rich
banker's residence to the dilapidated hovel of the
meanest tradesman—every where an effort was made
to contribute, by some original tdecoration, to the
general effect. In Stamboul the bazaars were mai-

At the Marylebone Police Court, yesterday, a
summons was heard in the absence of a person
named Augustus E. Tamplin, for that he did, on
the 4th April, unlawfully smoke in a railway car-
riage on the London and North-Western Railway,
contrary to the statute, &c.
Mr. Adam Rivers Steel, a solicitor, said—On the
day namedl was coming from Kilburn by the Lon-
don and North-Western Railway in a first-Class
carriage. Defendant was, moking, and I complained
of it. He would not desist, and I spoke to the ticket
collector at Camden, and he requested me to speak
to the guard. On our arrival at the platform I did
so, and the person gave the name of Augustus E.
Tamplin, 107, Cambridge-street, Pimlico. He was
smoking when I got in, and I said, " Do you know,
sir, you are infringing the laws of the company ?"
and he said "No," and another young gentleman
said, " Ilow is he to know that?" I said, "He can't
help seeing, for it is up in the caryiage." He then
made use of bad language. I said to. them, "Do You
young people think to make old people fools ?"
They said, " Do you mind smoking?" and I said
" No, only the ladies ought to be thought of.

through a moral cowardice on my part that I have
