FRONTIERS OF TURKEY.

It is well known that the Grand Seignior has for a long
time thought of civilising Bosnia ; but the Mahometan
inhabitants of that country, who have enjoyed peculiar
privileges from time immemorial, will not give them up
without an energetic resistance. They can put 100,000
men on foot. The Governor of Bosnia has published a
letter of convocation to all the Capitanis, and has fixed on
the town of Podrasznizca, situated in an immense plain, as
the place of general rendezvous. He is to send there his
aid-de-camp with a strong escort. This superior officer,
named Chehaga, is charged to communicate to the Bosnians
the will of the Sultan. The greater part of the Capitanit
are already assembled at the point indicated. The Bosnian
rebels, on the other hand, are not backward in their prepa-
rations. The malcontents assembled near Pidor and
Koszaracz, to the number of 800 men, are under the com-
mand of Agan, Aga of Dubieza, and Ali Beck, Czerich of
Slabena ; the troops have gone to Banialuka, and so on to
the general depot, where the rest of the anarchists will be
found. A Turk of distinction, named Ims Effendi, received
these troops at Banialuka ; and the Vizier, being informed
of this, sent some Tartars to arrest him, as well as his son-
in-law ; and, on their arrival as prisoners at Sarajero, they
had their heads taken off. The son of Ims Effendi tried to
raise the people against the Vizier, in order to be revenged
for his father, but he was himself strangled at Sarajero.
Bosnia is in state of complete insurrection, and more than
12,000 rebels are assembled at Saraisko-Polje ; their num-
bers arc increasing every day, whereas the Vizier has only
10,000 men under his command. Hostilities way soon be
expected.—Carlsruhe Gazette.

TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN.

Slll,—Thinking it might be agreeable to you to receive a
letter, giving you an account of the crops, harvest, and the
state of the country in the south of Ireland, has induced
me to write this letter for your insertion, if you think it
worth your while to do so. The harvest is generally late
over all Ireland ; the wheat crop is under an average, small
in the ear, and a good deal of smut in many fields : the
wheat.harvest is mostly over, but a great deal of the crop is
standing in small ricks in the fields. The barley and oat
crop is generally good ; the great bulk of both are yet to
reap and get in. There was nearly ten days of constant
rain about a week past, which laid the crops flat to the
surface, and injured them in many places, with the vio-
lence of the weather. Now the weather is set in favour-
ably for the last week, which has made great progress in
cutting down and securing the crops, and it is hoped
great progress will be made if the weather continue favour-
able for a fortnight longer. The early potatoe has been
altogether a failure, but the late potatoes generally promise
to he a good crop. Hay is a very short and bad crop,
and a great deal of it spoiled by the bad weather ; indif-
ferent hay is selling here at 3/. to 3/. 3s. per ton, a very
high price so early in the season. The pastures through-
out all the country are very short, owing to the cold back-
ward spring and summer, which has made a short supply of
butter from the dairies ; the price in consequence has risen
from 765. to 98s. and 995. 100 s. per cent. for first qua-
lity, and there is every prospect of it advancing further.
There is a scarcity of stock in the country, both cattle and
sheep ; good milk cows have advanced from 6/. to 10 and
12 guineas a-head ; dry cattle and sheep arc also much
dearer. The great circulation of paper of the different
joint stock banks has the effect, with other causes, of
making everything dearer. The country is filled with the
national, agricultural, and commercial banks' paper.; few of
the notes of either the Bank of Ireland, or Provincial Bank
of Ireland, are to be seen, and very little gold or silver is in
circulation. I hear that there was a meeting of the persons
concerned in the National Bank-Branch at Cork last week,
when their discount account was exhibited, amounting to
nearly 35,000/. of discounts received, and this branch has
not been opened above ten months. The other joint-stock
banks are doing very little business in comparison to the
national and the agricultural and commercial joint-stock
banks ; and they arc most active in increasing their circula-.
tion over all Ireland, by establishing branches of their
bank in every town and village, and even have agents
attending all the fairs and markets to put their issues
in circulation. This country is improving very much ;
both the surface, the cities, towns and villages. The city
of Cork -is now making rapid improvements, both in new
streets, buildings, and the improvement of the harbour. The
town of Tralee is very much improved in a new street and
other buildings—formerly it was impossible to walk the
streets without being up to the ancle in mud and filth—
now the streets are regularly cleaned and steeped, and the
inhabitants are inclined to more cleanliness, both in their
houses and persons, than formerly. A canal was begun
about four years ago, to go from this town to a mile below
the port of Bleneville, parallel with the river, and about
three miles in length ; the first contract was eight thousand
pounds, but owing to bad engineering, and want of know-
ledge of the contractors, before it will be finished it will
cost the county twenty thousand pounds, and when finished
(which will not be these three years to come), it never will
benefit the town one quarter that a rail-road would have
done down to the Sanphire Island, where a level line for
near eight miles might have been carried at the expence of
eight or nine thousand pounds, to deep water, where ves-
sels of any burthen might have loaded and discharged their
cargoes, where this canal will not admit a vessel of greater
burthen than ninety or one hundred tons. So much for
Irish jobs. Last year, in the month of October, I was
solicited by Mr. James Cumins, of the house of Jourdan
and Shaw, of London, to look at his estate of Boneishell,
near Toughead, county of Cork, where I discovered a most
valuable vein of copper ore, which is now working with
