TURKEY.

A correspondent of the Salut Public, of Lyons,
in a letter from Scutari (Albania) of the 20th ult.,
gives a very interesting and graphic summary of
the last battles between the Turks and Montene-
grins, in consequence of which the former have
entered Cettigne, and Princes Mirko and Nicolas
have been forced to take flight. He says:—
" The Montenegrin war is at length terminated.
After a number of severely-contested actions the
Montenegrins have been gradually compelled to
fall back. At the present moment the Turks are
masters of the important village of Rieka, which
is at only three hours' distance from Cettigne. On
Sunday last Prince Nicolas. who in the preceding
month of April had refused the friendly arbitra-
ment of France, wrote to our Consul here a letter of
despair, in which he acknowledges that he is re-
duced to the last extremity, and places the destiny
of his country in the hands of the French Govern-
ment. It was certainly hardly worth while to
cause himself to be exterminated, in order to arrive
at that conclusion. It would be impossible to
form an idea of the fearful obstinacy with which
the last battles have been fought. On the side
of the Montenegrins resistance has been carried
to the point of perfect insanity. I myself have
seen a woman, assisted by her two children, the
eldest of which was not more than thirteen, hold at
bay for more than half an hour a group of Turkish
irregulars. Crouching behind some rocks she kept
up a perpetual fire with two pistols and a musket,
which her children loaded and passed to her. A
fragment of a shell having crushed her shoulder,
she fell, but still had the courage to fire off her two
pistols. Ten or twelve Bachi-Bazouks, with their
sabres in hand, rushed upon the group, and in a
minute three lifeless and mutilated bodies were all
that remained. Indeed, during this struggle,
which I think will be the last here for a long time,
Montenegro has made a supreme effort , men, youn g
and old, children, and women arose , each took up
7 his arms, and went forth to die. There are defiles
where the vultures must have had a rare feast. It
has been a war of extermination; the Turks have
not left standing either a tree, a house, or a blade
of grass; everything has been burnt. One of the
most horrible features of the struggle I myself
witnessed—women and children burnt alive in the
houses. The Montenegrins have not been behind-
hand 'with the Turks in this respect. What rage
and what carnage! Excuse the unconnected style
of my letter, but I am writing with the impression
of what I have just seen. I have blood on my
shoes, and I imagine I still breathe the odour of
hundreds of corpses heaped up behind the rocks,
and lost in the ravines, livid, hideous, aiready,green
with corruption, and some half devoured by the
wolves and birds of prey."

ANOTHER CHILD LEFT AT A RAILWAY STATION.
—Yesterday evening an inquest was held at the White Horse
Tavern, White Horse-street, Stepney, by Mr. H. Raffles
Walt hew, touching the death of a male child that was found
in the ladies' waiting-room of the Stepney Station on last
Saturday morning. Henry Bellethe, guard on the London
and Blackwell Railway,•said that on the morning in ques-
tion, shortly after the eight o'clock train for Fenchurch-
street had left, he saw a little lilac cotton bag lying on the
floor, and, upon unfastening it, he found the deceased
wrapped up in a lady's handkerchief, the body having marks
of blood upon it, which bad seemingly been attempted to be
washed off. Witness had noticed two ladies of very respect-
able appearance in the room before the train left. He had
not seen the bag before they left,
but found it immediately
after. Witness did not know them. There were several
I persons in the room that morning, Police-constable Mercier,
415 K, said he received the body from the last witness, and,
upon examining it, found that the bag in which it was had
I evidently been made for the purpose and in a great hurry.
The bo'ly was forced into the bag. Dr. Hawkins said that
he made a Post-mortem examination, and found that the
deceased had died from loss of blood consequent on the
navelstring being cut and not being tied. The Coroner
jury
returned on the suspicious nature of the case, and the
returned the following verdict, " That the deceased was
found dead in the ladies' waiting-room of the Stepney Sta-
tion of the London
anti Blackwall Railway; that it died
in consequence of the navelstring being cut ; and there was
no evidence to show that it was done with the intention of
dtetroying life." •
