TURKEY.

The Sultan's mother (Valide " Sultana) died
on the night of the Ist inst. She had long been
suffering from dropsy. This princess enjoyed the
reputation of great wisdom, and she always re-
ceived the most marked attention whenever she
appeared in her gilded araba. She interfered in
the affairs of the State, and her son, in questions
of great weight and importance, invariably followed
her advice. Her acts of benevolence are innume-
rable. She has built and endowed schools, hospi-
tals, khans for indigent travellers, and the poor
and needy looked up to her as their guardian.
Her age must have been about 52. Her remains
will be conveyed at midday to their resting-
place with great pomp. All the ministers and
chief employes will swell the funeral train.
Owing to the above unfortunate event, political
discussions are suspended.

The successful results of the last Half Century have proved beyond
question that
ROWLAND'S MACASSAR OIL possesses sin-
gularly nourishing powers in the growth, restoration, and
improvement of the Human Hair, acid when every other specific has

failed.
This celebrated Oil is now universally aenowledged to be the
cheapest, and superior to all other preparations for the Hair. It
Prevents it ft om falling off o- turning grey—strengthens weak hair
—produces a thick and luxuriant growth— cleanses it from Scurf
and Dandruff—and makes It beautifully soft, curly, and glossy. 'lts
operation 1.1 cases of baldness is peculiarly active ; and in the growth
Of WHISKEUS, EYEBROWS, and MUSTACHIOS, it Is unfailing in its
stimulative operation. For Children it is especially recommended,
as forming the basis of a beautiful head of hair, and rendering the ■se
of the fine-c, mb unnecessary. In dressing the hair nothing can
equal its effect, rendering the Hair so admirably soft that it will lie in
any direction, and, imparting a transcendent lustre —Price 3s. 6d.

SUNKEN ROCK AT AMOY.

Her Majesty's steamer Rattler, which left this
harbour for Shanghae, calling at Amoy with in-
structions for the Salamander to proceed north-
ward, on leaving the harbour of Amoy, struck
upon a rock not laid down in any chart, and re-
ceived such injuries that she was unable to proceed
on her voyage, and we understand it is the inten-
tion of Captain Mellersh to beach her at Tee-tan,
so as to ascertain the extent of the injuries she has
received. The following note, giving the position
of the rock, is from Captain Sir William Hoste, of
her Majesty's ship Spartan :

" TO THE EDITOR OF THE CHINA MAIL.
"Her Majesty's ship Spartan, Hong-Kong,
March 25, 1853.

" Sir,—l shall feel obliged by your publishing, for the
information of mariners, notice of a sunken rock upon
which her Majesty's steam-sloop Rattler struck whilst
proceeding out of Amoy harbour, and which is not laid
down in the Admiralty charts.

" It is quite a pinnacle, with only 2i feet on it at low
water, the top being of such small dimensions that the
lead rolled off it into 6 fathoms on the side towards
Amoy, whilst on the side towards Kulangsue there are
8 fathoms within 15 feet of the rock.•—l have the honour

WRECK OF THE MOR.

The clipper Mor, which left Bombay on the 6th
of January, with 1,007 chests of opium, got aground
on the south bank of the Yang-tze-kiaug, on the
14th of March. At first hopes were entertained
of saving the vessel, but she has since become a
total wreck. Of her cargo upwards of 700
chests have been saved (some damaged) by pilot
and other boats from Woosung.
The masts were being taken out of the Mor as
the Ganges passed clown.

MONEY MARKET AND COMMERCIAL
INTELLIGENCE-(THIS DAY.)

CITY, TWO O'CLOCK.

The sales of cotton at Liverpool yesterday were
estimated at 10,000 bales, of which 2,000 were
taken for export and on speculation. The market
closed firm and steady at full prices. Railway
Shares were dull, and inactive.
The amount of bullion in the coffers of the Bank
of England was still further diminished during the
week to the 16th inst. ; but about the period when
the dividends are paid it is not easy to determine
whether a decrease arises from local or foreign de-
mands. The discounts and loans were smaller,
owing to repayments, upon the opening of the
transfer books, and probably there was also a with-
drawal of Exchequer Bills and Stock, upon which
advances had been obtained, as a great reduction
appears in the item " Government Securities."
The changes, compared with the previous week, are
as follows :

A FLOATING DWELLING ON TEE RIVER DON, AT
DONCASTER.--About eighteen months ago, a boat be-
longing to an organised gang of persons, commonly
designated "The Trent Pirates,' used to ply on the river
Trent for the purpose of affording an easy mode of
escape to those persons, who some time ago committed
serious depredations in the neighbourhood of Epworth,
Butterwich, and Gainsbro'. The police of the district
becoming aware of the manner in which these men
effected an escape, assembled one evening, and succeeded
in capturing the greater part of them, and they were
ultimately sentenced to various terms of imprisonment.
Their noat was then sold to a labourer, who, with his
wife and four children, have occupied the cabin as a
dwelling for the last 12 months, it having been moored
during that time in Mill Dyke. Although the cabin is
not many feet in circumference, it has been used as a
dwelling for six, where all domestic work has been per-
formed, and the birth of a child took place. The mother
died this (last) week in this place under most pitiable
and destitute circumstances.—Doncaster Gazette.
PRICE OF BREAD IN PARIS.—Tho Presse publishes a
table showing the assize price of bread in Paris for
every year since the commencement of the present cen-
tury up to this day. The highest price was in 1847,
for during a short period of that year the 2 kilogrammes
loaf (four pounds) cost lfr 22c., and during a great
part of that year the price varied from 90c. to 94c.,
whereas in 1851 the price during a period of three
months was only 50 centimes. The price now is 80 cen-
times, which is the highest Atice for the last twelve
years with the exception of 184 and 184 r.

MINES.—The prospect that Turkish affairs will be
amicably arranged has made the markets firmer both for
dividend and speculative stocks, and a fair amount of
business has been transacted in both. In the former,
Alfred Consols, Condurrow, Bassett, Mary Ann, and
Merllyn, have been most enquired for ; and iu the latter,
Copper Hill, East Buller, and Sidney. The great fall
in lead has affected shares in lead mines, and must
seriously reduce their profits, unless a rise takes place
to something like a fair and remunerative price. Many
mines are getting 51. per ton less for their ores, whilst
their expenses are not in any way materially reduced.
In the metal market, copper and tin are in demand;
prices continue firm, and an increased price is antici-
pated. Lead remains at the quotations of last week,
with but little business doing. Spelter is very quiet,
holders not not being willing to sell at present prices—a
great demand being expected to arise as winter ap-
proaches. In charcoal tin plates a large amount of busi-
ness has been done, and coke plates are becoming very
scarce, from a falling off in the make. Scotch pig-iron
has advanced, and rails are firm, with'every prospect of
an increased demand and rise in price.
In the Bullion Market—Mexican and South Ame-
rican dollars, 4s. 111 d. per oz. Bar silver containing
gold, all gold above 5 grs. in the pound to be paid for,
ss. 11d. per oz. standard. Bar silver without gold,
ss. Igd. per oz. standard. Bar gold, 775. 9d. per oz.
standard.

The Gold Mining Shares this week have shown
symptoms of a rally from the depression previously
noticed. The re-action in the leading stocks, however,
is not considerable, and credited descriptions re-
main quite out of favour. Generally business in this
department continues quiet, there being little or no
speculation, and the public at the same time are keeping
aloof. Colonial Gold Shares have met with some in-
quiry, consequent upon the receipt of favourable ad-
vances.

THE EDUCATION QUARREL.

The recent unhappy dissensions in the National Board
are already producing their evil fruits, and the opponents
of the system of mixed religious education have not been
slow in availing themselves of an opportunity of widen-
ing the schism arising out of the rejection of Archbishop
AVhateley's works. Some intermeddling guardians of the
South Dublin Union have taken the initiative in " blow-
ing the coals" while they are yet hot, and, accordingly,
at the ordinary weekly meeting of Thursday, a resolu-
tion was proposed to this effect :--
" It appearing to this board that the Commissioners
of National Education in Ireland have, at the mere bid-
ing of certain parties, excluded highly useful and valu-
able works from use in the national schools—Resolved

—That the said Commissioners are unworthy of public
confidence, and the said system cannot be considered
one of united education, and that therefore the schools
of this union be removed from being in connexion with
the said national system, or in any way under the con-
trol of the said Commissioners, and that two committees
be appointed, one to consider under what system the
Protestant children should be placed, and the other
under what system the Roman Catholic children should be
placed."
The resolution was ably opposed by Captain Ly ndsay'
son of the late Lord Bishop of Kildare, who, in th•
course of a temperate speech, showed that Dr. Whateley'i
books were never withdrawn from any of the schools, to
prove which he read the following extract from a letter
from .the office of the Commissioners of Education :

" Education-office, 29th June, 1853.
" We are to acknowledge the receipt of your letter of
the 27th inst., in which you request to_be informed if
any order has been made prohibiting the use of the
Scripture Lesson! books during mixed education holu-s7
"In reply, we are to state that, according to the re-
gulations of the Commissioners of National Education,
the Scripture Lessons' may be used in the schools, if
the patrons so desire it, subject to the Commissioners'
rule."

Captain Lyndsay was efficiently supported by some
other guardians, but all was in vain • for on a division
being taken the resolution was carried by a majority of
17 to 12. It was then arranged that the Protestant
guardians should be appointed a committee for the Pro-
testant children, and the Roman Catholic guardians for
the children of that persuasion. This will be cheering
intelligence for all fanatics, whether Orange or Green.
Indeed, already one of their organs fondly anticipates
that this blow at the system will be followed up "by
the Protestant managers of every national school in
Ireland."

Bills of Exchange were taken yesterday after-
noon upon the principal continental cities at firmer
rates, except as regards Italy, Trieste Bills at 90
days being quoted 10 58 to 11. Paris was 25 20
to 25 ; Amsterdam, 11018 to 181 ; Hamburgh, 13,
6i, to 7 ; and Frankfort, 1194 to 1191.
The amount of gold exported from London direct✓
during the week to Thursday last was 24,766
ounces, and of silver 25,800 ounces, most of the
former to France, and the latter to Hamburgh.
From Southampton 109,0001. has been forwarded
to India and China, principally in silver.
The stock market is firm, and there are good
purchases for money, but the speculative transac-
tions continue unimportant. The political advices
from the continent are of such a tranquilising nature
that much greater confidence is felt. Consols have
been 98 ?I for transfer, and 983 t for account. The
New 3t per Cents. have been quoted 1014 to and
the 3 per Cents. 984 g. Exchequer Bills are at
par to 3s. premium. There has been no dealing in
Bank or India stock.

Foreign Securities, though quiet, still tend up-
wards, since in many of them there is room for a
much greater rise than in the English funds.
Spanish Three per Cents. have been done at 471,
and the Deferred at 23g. The old Portuguese
Five per Cents. have realised 461. Sardinian
Stock has risen to 96 and 96k, and the Swedish
Loan has touched 1 premium again. Russian
Bonds are firm at 119.

The Railway Share market is advancing, and at
the improvement off to per cent. In the
English lines there is more doing. The French
market is also better.

Gold Mine Shares are heavy and neglected, and
sellers of Land Companies' still offer.
The Australian Banks are firm.

states that the Abbe Humphrey, rector of the French

THE POTATO CROP.

The accounts continue hopeful, and, so far, there
is every reason to believe that the disease, if it has
at all made its appearance, is so limited in extent as
to be scarcely worth noticing. Another fortnight,
however, or even less time, will set all doubts at rest.
The Glare Journal, received this morning, says :
" With regard to this county, we deem it right to state,
again and again, that after minute inquiries among those
who have been over the principal part of the county,
and from our own personal observation, that no disease
or sign of disease has as yet made its appearance,
or can anywhere be discovered. The importance of the
subject will be our excuse for recapitulating the same
story ; for if the disease did make its appearance, or the
potato crop fail in the least, the consequences to this
county would be disastrous in the extreme—such an im-
mense breadth of land being sown with them."
