The foreign exchanges for three months hills yes-
terday afternoon were gent-rally firm. On Trieste,
however, there was a slight decline, viz., to 11 35
and 14. Paris ruled at 25 27i to 30 ; Antwerp at
25 27i to 30 ; Amsterda7n at 11 171 to 17i ; and
Hamburg at 13 6 to 13 61.
The exports of the precious metals from London
direct during the week to Thursday last comprised
9,100 ounces and 1,600 dollars in silver, and 4,500
•unees, together with 7,5001., in gold.
Her Majesty's Emigration Commissioners have
invited tenders for the supply of three more ships
to convey passengers, to be ready as follows :
For Portland Bay on the 10th, and for Geelong
and Sydney on the 13th of October next.
The agents or contractors of the Turkish Loan
have very properly complied with the suggestion
thrown out yesterday under this head, and have
bent us for insertion the letters, adverted to in the
original programme of the loan, from Lord Claren-
don and M. Drouyii de I'Huys, which follow :

" The Baron de Goldsmid and Mr. Horsley" Palmer, as
contractors for the Turkish loan, present their compliments
to the editor of The Sun ; and, certain parties in France
continuing to contest the power of the representatives of
the Sublime Porte in London and Paris to assign the
Egyptian tribute as security for the present loan, think it
will be satisfactory to the public to see the literal copies of
the letters in their possession from the Earl of Clarendon
anti M. Drouyn de l'Huys.
" London, Aug. 25 "
" ' Messrs. Black and Durand are duly authorised by the
Sublime Porte to negotiate a loan of 5,000,,00/. sterling,
all expenses included, anti to offer as a special guarantee
30,000,0j0 of piastres of the annual tribute of Egypt. The
representatives of the Sublime Porte at London and Paris,
are authorised, iu virtue. of Imperial &mans, to ratify the
contract of the loan in the name of the Sultan. The con
tract between Messrs. Black anti Durant and Messrs. Gold-
stnid and Palmer has been concluied with the knowledge
of Lord Clarendon. who has confidence in the good faith
with which the Turkish Government will fulfil the engage-
=ants they have entered into.
" ' Foreign-office, Aug. 15 " CL ARE N'DON! "
"' Messrs. Black et Durand sont dument autorises
par la Sublime Porte a negocier un emprunt de cinq mil
lion de livres sterling, tons frais compris, et a offrir, comma

ntiel de l'Egypte. Les representants de la Sublime Porte

" 4 DROITYN DE L'HUYS.'"

The Turkish Envoy, it may be observed, has not
thought proper to meet the statement of Mr.
Stanley on the part of himself and the Ottoman
Bank, to the effect that they still hold the legal
assignment of the Egyptain tribute, which has not
been revoked either in Egypt or by the Sultan.
As this is in flat contradiction of the Envoy's
formal assertion to the contrary, it surely behoves
M. Musurus in his own vindication before the
public to offec some further explanation respecting
these singular contradictions. We have not seen
the documents referred to by Mr. Stanley in proof
of his own veracity, but they have been offered us
for perusal if necessary.
For the rest it remains now only to wait the
arrival of despatches from Constantinople with the
form's! approval of t e contract for the loan, when
all wll be in regular order. Ic might, perhaps,
have been. more advisable to have deferrel the
issue of the loan until such official approval had
been signified from head-quarters.

THE LATE MTIRDER IN BRUSSELS--The murderer is
happily no Englishman, but a Belgian, born in Brussels,
of Belgian parents. He has for years been known as a
man of drzinken habits, and notoriously bad character.
The two victims are fortunately recovering, and are pro-
nounced out of danger by their medical attendants.
THE SHIPPING TRADE OF BELFAST.—The following
very satisfactory statement with respect to the shipping
trade of BsHaat appears in the North,ern, Whig :--We are
glad to observe that, during the past week, our docks
for foreign shipping have presented an unusual degree of
animation. There are at present upwards of twenty
vessels, averaging from 700 to 1,300 tons burlen, in and
around Prince's-dock ; and so completely packed is the
latter with foreign.shipping, that. vessela-of large tonnage
have been compelled to haul Meng Albert-quay. During
the last five years- —indeed, since the great emigration
mania raged in the north—we have not been visited by
such a large number of foreign ships ' • and the employ-
ment which has been afforded to the labouring popula-
tion usually engaged at the quays is, consequently, very
considerable. In the coasting trade, however, business
is rather dull ; there is comparatively a small number of
vessels in port, principally owing to adverse winds, and
the coal trade is not so well supplied as usual. But this
is merely temporary, and it is to be hoped that the aid-
illation in the foreign department will extend to all other
branches of the shipping trade.
MURDER IN THE COUNTY CORR.—The following ap-
pears in the Cork Reporter of yesterday ;—" A few nights
since, a man named John Lane was killed between
Glanworth and Ki'dorrery. It appears that he and two
other men were drinking and playing cards, when some
quarrel arose that resulted in Lane being struck with a

miralty. The Belgiany
