SMITHFIELD.

To-day's market was seasonably supplied with beasts as
to number, but their general quality was inferior. For
all breeds we had a very dull sale, at a decline in the prices
of Monday of fully 2d per Sibs. There was a considerable
increase in the supply of sheep ; hence the mutton trade
ruled heavy, at 2d per Sibs. less money. Lambs, the
number of which was extensive, moved off heavily, at a
fall in value of 4d per Blbs. The sale for calves was dull,
and prices gave way 2d per Sibs. In pigs, next to nothing
was doing, on lower terms.

Milch cows were a slow sale, at from 15/. to 19/. each,
including their small calf.

A letter from Warsaw of the 14th, says :—" Yester-
day, divine services were performed in the places of
worship of the various Christian creeds, on the occasion
of the anniversary of the Empress of Russia the civil
and military functionaries being present. A: Te Dcunt
was also chamited in the midst of a salvo of artillery
front the citadel. Afterwards, the Imperial manifesto
relative to the entrance of the Russian troops into the
principalities was read to the congregations. It is to be
read also in every church and synagogue in the country."
A letter from Pcsth of July 15, in the Journal de
Francfort, says—" We were surprised last evening at
seeing three steam-tugs towing in nine vessels laden with
infantry. These troops lodged for the night partly in
Pesti), and partly in Buda, and continued their route this
morning. Another division is to arrive this evening,
and a third to-morrow. For the moment all the steam-
tugs of the Danube have been placed in requisition for
the service of the State."
The Journal de Constantinople contains an article
on the Smyrna affair. The pith of the thing may
be given in a few lines. M. Kossta, an Austrian
subject, after having remained for some time in Turkey
as a refugee, leaves for the United States, where he passes
two years. After having made a legal declaration to the
authorities, "which would secure to him the rights of a
citizen within a given time," he returns to Smyrna. The
Consulate at Smyrna recognizes Kossta as an American
subject. The Austrian General-Consul first demands
Kossta's expulsion and then seizes him. Both parties pro-
test against the conduct of the Ottoman Government
and demand satisfaction. "Of the assassination we
say nothing, as there cannot be two opinions on the
subject." The semi-official journal acknowledges
that every European in the Turkish Empire is
amenable to the laws and tribunals of his own
country, and that the local authorities have no right
of jurisdiction over them. Even if taken in flagrant
dait the local authorities must deliver the culprit to
the consulate or legation to which he belongs within
24 hours. When the Porte ventured to protect
Austrian refugees after the revolution, "it was
under cover of an appeal to the humanity of Austria."
I How can the Porte be held responsible for what has
now occurred ? Responsibility would involve authority,
and in this matter the Porto has none. The semi-
official organ is of opinion that such sad occurrences
could not take place if the position of Europeans in
Turkey was more clearly defined. "As Kossta is
not a Turkish subject nor in the exceptional position of
a refugee, the only question is whether lie is a subject
of Austria or of the United Siates. The two foreign
Powers must settle this matter between them."
The following is from the Times Paris correspondent's
letter, dated yesterday, 6 p.m. :
" A rumour was in circulation to day with reference
to the Turkish question, which produced rather an un-
favourable effect. It was that the Emperor of Russia
had declined accepting in their present form the propo-
sitions presented to him for the settlement of his quarrel
with the Porte ; that he did, not object to have the mat-
ter decided by arbitration ; that he would name Austria,
and that the Sultan might select any Power he thought
proper ; but that, after such arbitration, he should de-
mand an indemnity for the expense and trouble he has
had in moving his army. This intelligence, dated
Petersburg, the 16th, is said to have been brought by
the steamer from Cronstadt to Stettin, from which place
it was received yesterday in Paris. But should it turn
out true, it would show the determination of the Czar to
occupy, if not permanently, at least for a considerable
period, the Danubian Principalities by way of guarantee
for exorbitant and unjust demands, which he must be
aware the Porte is unable to satisfy. If it does not at
this moment 'suit him to annihilate Turkey by war, he
will exhaust her in some other way. Another rumour
is, that the. Emperor of Russia has declined to
commence negotiations until such time as -the
combined fleets quit Besika Bay_ ; he, howev, continuing to occupy the Danubian
Principalities ert
. lis right to add that both rumours are thought
to be unfounded ; and, on the other band, it is asserted
that a letter has been received from London, and from
an official quarter, stating that the Emperor of Russia
has accepted the propositions made by the French Go-
vernment. The letters received at the Ottoman Em-
bassy in Paris are of the 9th, but they do not give any
details about the conspiracy discovered at Constantinople
against the person of the Sultan. In the absence of any
additional information, it is conjectured that the Sopthas,
who are "students in theology "—their theology con-
sisting in the acquisition of the Arabic, in which
tongue prayers are recited in the mosques—may have
used exciting language to the people when assembled
for prayer, and thus rendered itnecessTahus

believers were recommended to shun them as if they
were infected with the plague. No preliminary instruc-
tion is required for those persons beyond the study of
Arabic, and many embrace the profession merely for the
purpose of being exempt from the military service."

PLUSSIA.

The Minister of the Interior of Prussia has just pub-
lished an order, interdicting any persons from emigrating
who have not complied with the conditions of the law
relative to serving in the army. Unless they can give
satisfactory proof of their having done so, no authorisa-
tion will be given them to leave the country.
A letter from Rostock (Mecklenburgh-Schwerin)
states that the inquiry relative to the seizure of arms
and ammunition at that place, which led to the west

The object of this work is to improve the eont
tion of the Ansyreeh. It is not the purpose of the
writer so much to explain their peculiar habits
present faith, as it is his wish to show their wretched condition and the urgent necessity tr
a better and purer religion to guide them for the
future. Throughout the pages of this volume e
have a description of the country and the 011;
fortunate people • who inhabit the valleys of t',
Ansyreeh. In the laSt chapter the most inforo
tion will be found, and in the preface the author
advises the reader to refer to it for details of the
plans he thinks it desirable to carry out. Froul_
his accounts it appears to be the peculiar mission
of our country to hasten to the work of regenel?;
tion, for the only European people at all known:.,
the natives are the Russians and the English. re
the former they have no confidence, but to.
latter they look with hope. "As they are fine Pl!Pis
cally a race, so their natural understanding
very good, and they have a great desire of disPla)ri
ing the little they know." They are at prePf„7,,
almost totally ignorant, and their religion they
keep a profound secret ; but they declared over
and over again to the author that if the Fines,
settled among them they would abandon that re-
serve, as they now maintain it from fear.
