TURKEY.

Adeiuea from Constantinople, of the 25th ult.,
state that on the preceding day a Queen's messenger
arrived at Constantinople on board the French war
steamer Tartare. Ile WaS the bearer of dispatches
from the French and English Governments to Sir
StratiM.,l Canning and General Aupick. Those
from Viscount Palmerston were dated the 9th, and
those from Paris the 10th of October. This was the
second message which had arrived from the Foreign-
(Alice within the week. The former dispatches (of the
da'e of the 3d of October) brought to Constantinople
by Lieutenant Bobbins approved the conduct of the
Porte and the policy pursued by the English Ambas-
sador on the question of extradition. The instruc
tims received by Sir S. Canning on the 24th o
October expressed, still more clearly and decidedly.
the determination of the English Government to grant
material support to the Sultan in case of emergency,
and to form a defensive alliance with the Porte in the
event of the Czar attempting to carry into execution
his menaces of aggression. As the first step 'to-
wards such a measure, orders had been sent to
Admiral Parker to put himself in communication
with Sir S. Canning, and the British fleet was already
at the mouth of the Dardanelles.

The tenor of the instructions of the French Go-
vernment to G-2neral Aupick was nearly to the same
effect. France approved of the conduct of the Porte
and of her Ambassador at Constantinople. But
although there was an evident desire that France and
England should act in concert, it was not certain
that a defensive alliance would be formed with
tie Sultan in the event of a declaration of war by the
1,;;:rror of Russia. it wcss understood, however,
first France would support Turkey « as long es the
(yr,„ntin Government acted with prudence." The
was opposed to war, and desirous of pre-
ve• tin,' it if possible.
Nleptv.vhne the Sultan and his "Ministers were well
ploa:,-.21 by the support granted by the two great
w. stern Powers,
they were still more gratified
by Cie enthusisAicana(!)prl of their conduct by the
public press of London and Paris. _
No communication ha,l ['eel) received from the
Cz-sr relative to the reply of the Porte to the demP.nd
of l'rince Radisivil. Matters remained in statzt q,70,
and diplomatic intercourse was still suspended be-
twr,,n Turkey and the allied Governments of Austria
and Four Russian men of-war sailed on the
25. h for the Black Sea, in order (as it was supposed)
to announce the presence of the English squadron;
and the hourly expected arrival of the French fleet.
would be impossible for the Czar to commence 1

hostile operations against Turkey by land before the
month of May, 1850.

IRELAND.
(FROM OUR OWN CORRESPONDET.)
THE ENCUMBERED ESTATES COMMISSION.

D U ;LTV, A.Y . —The first iistance of a proxi-
mate collision between the jurisdiction of this Com-
mission and that of the Court of Chancery occurred
to-day, but was averted by the cautious proceeding
of Baron Richards. The parties in the case were
William W. Carr and Anne Carr; and the petition
for sale having been on a former day dismissed, Mr.
Napier, Q.C., and Mr. Lowry,fappeared to sustain it.
It appeared that a cause had been instituted in the Court
of Chancery, and a decree had been made by the Lord
Chancellor, which decree it was sought under the
provisions of the Encumbered Estates Act, to transfer
to the Commission. The Commissioners were of
opinion that the proper parties not having been all
brought before the Court of Chancery, the petition
could not ba proceeded upon under the Commis.
sion. The Chief Commissioner stated that although
the jurisdiction of this court had reference to the
effecting of sales only, yet that whenever, incidentally,
the question of a deed being fraudhlent or not arose the
Commissioners would not shrink from disposing of
it. In the present case, however, he did not think
that the circumstances could justify the Comm's-
sioners in acting on the petition. He advised the
filing of a bill in Chancery, in order that the opinion
of that Court might be had upon the validity of a cer-
tain deed in question, and thus a conflict between the
two juriseictions would be avoided, inasmuch as the
parties having settled their rights in Chancery might
then come before the Commission for the sale of the
estate. His Lordship accordingly made no rule on
the motion. _ _ _

Mr. LO WRY applied to the Court, on behalf of the
solicitor for the petitioner, that the Court would
order that the documents which had been lodged with
the petition should be returned, for the purpose of
carrying on the proceedings in Chrncery.
The CommISSIONER stated that in this and similar
cases all the documents,'except the petition itself,
should br returned.

IN THE MATTER. OF WILLIAM DUDLEY PEESSE.

In this case the petition had been dismissed by the
Commissioners in Chamber, and Mr. Vance, counsel
for the petitioner, appeared to sustain it.

The Oourt held that the petstion had been prolix,
and had failed to set forth distinctly the title of the
petitioner. Their Lordships suggested that a new
petition should be filed, setting forth the rights of the
petitioner in a more concise and perspicuous manner.
Mr. Commissioner HARGRAVE called the attention
of counsel in this case to the circumstance that the
person stated to be the owner had been an insolvent,
whereas either at law or in equity an insolvent could
not be considered owner.
The Commissioners directed that in such cases
the assignee should be named, stating whose assignee
he was.

It is expected that an immense amount of litigation
will take place on many of the cases now before this
court, owing to complexity of title and the conflict of
claims. In one case on the book—that of an M.P.
—no less than 375 persons have a lie n on his almost
imaginary possessions.
In the great will case of Hon. Martin Ffrench
against Lord Ffrench, in which an adverse decision
was given on Saturday last against the latter, a rule
for a new trial was this day granted in the Queen's
Bench.

Three townlands belonging to Lord Roden, in the
county Down, are in the market. One of them is
the celebrated townland of Magheramayo, on which
the sanguinary outrage was committed on the 12th
July last, by his Lordship's Orange brethren. Lord
Roden is by no means embarrassed ; and the cause of
the sale of this prosperous section of his property, by
his son's consent, is quite a mystery.

MINING INTELLIGENCE.
(From the Mining Journal of this day.)
There has been rather more than an average
amount of business transacted this week, and our
share market generally appears firm.
In Devon Great Consols we find several transac-
tions have been done at less than our former quo-
tations, although we are advised that the mine in
some important point has improved.
An improvement has been made at Mary Ann in
the 53 fm. level, south of Pollard's shaft, the lode
producing about 8 cwts. per fm.
Camborne Consols have been done at an advance,
arising from a continuance of the recent discovery of
silver.

Carn Brea, Condurrow, Mary Ann, North Pool,
Trelawny, South Frances, Levant, and South Tolgus,
are among the shares sought for.
Inquiries have also been made for shares in the
Worthing Mine, South Australia.
Bedford United shares have been in request during
the week, and a great many have changed hands.
From the sales of copper ores which have taken place
during the past two months, we calculate a profit of
full 5001. per month has been made, and as the
balance in hand is 550/., after payment of last divi-
dend, we may fairly expect another dividend of from
ss. to 63. will be made at the next meeting, which we
understand will be held during the present month.
Tincroft is stated to fully maintain the position so
favourably represented at the late meeting.
At Tamar Consols, we learn that some very rich
silver-lead ores have recently been discovered, tending
considerably to enhance the returns in value.
Mendip Hills is reported to be progressing rapidly
towards a profitable and permanent standing, inas-
much that the smelting department is now in full
and satisfactory operation.
At Alfred Consols, we learn that the improvement
noticed last week is more than confirmed. The lode
is the whole width of the shaft, and producing up-
wards of eight tons per fin., estimated worth from
401. to 501. per fin., and the lode in the 60 is produc-
ing about five tons per fm.
At Holmbush, we are pleased to find that the flap:.
jack lode continues good, producing six tons per fm.;
and the cross-cut in the 120 can be driven from 10 to
12 fins. per month, the ground firm without timber.
We hope Holmbush will again resume her position as
a dividend mine.

Bryn-arian shares we hear have been done, and still
in demand, in consequence of improvements in Pen-
sarne lodes ; the 10 fm. level east is improved.
At the East Wheal Ross meeting, a dividend of
251. per le.l2Bth share, amounting to 3,2001, was
declared; a profit of 3,188/. was made during that
period, and a balance of 2,7051. 2s. carried to credit
of next account,

At the Wheal Spern Consols meeting, a balance of
3771. 14s. 101 was found in favour of filo mine, and
a dividend of 303. per share declared, leaving to credit
of next account, 1851. 43. 10d.

At the Balleswidden meeting the accounts showed
a profit of 727/. 15s. In on the two months, and a
dividend of 7s. per share, amounting to 5681. Bs. was
declared, leaving a balance of 1751. 93. I Id. to next
account.

At the South Wheal Frances meeting, the accounts
showed a profit of 1,5421. 10s. 7d. for the two
months, which, added to the amount brought from
last account, gives a balance of 2,1991. 14s. 8(1. in
favour of the company. A dividend of 101. per 124th
share was declared, leaving to credit 969/. 14s. Bd.
The mine looks well ; 35,0001. worth of ore is now
discovered, as we are advised, through the zeal and
energy of Captain Pryor, who has been most inde-
fatigable in his exertions for the benefit of the share
holders. We also learn that Captain .Pryor has re-
ceived an appointment in Wales, and resigns his pre-
sent agency, to the regret of the shareholders gene-
rally.
At the Cwm Erfin meeting a call of lOs. a share
was found necessary, and responded to immediately
by some of the shareholders.
At the Lelant Consols meeting the accounts showed
a balance of 91/. 4i. 61. against the adventurers, and
a call of 3/. per share was made. It appears that a
profit has been made on the operations; but some
necessary work having been performed, and some
old liabilities discharged, the debt had been increased.
At the Wheal Mary Emma meeting there was
shown a balance against the mine of 561.45. Bd., when
a call of 2s. 6d. per share was made.
Shares in the following mines have changed
hands :—Devon Great Console, East Wheal Rose,
West Caradon, South Wheal Frances, West Provi-
dence, East Buller, East Pool, Bedford United,
Trehane, South Tamar, East Tamar, Callington,
Condurrow, East Wheal Crafty, Tincroft, Stray
Park, Kircudbright, Camborne Colsols, &c. _

In foreign mines, 'the transactions have been rather
limited. The principal have been St. John del Rey,
Copiapo, United Mexican, Alten, Imperial Brazilian,
National Brazilian, and Australians.
From the Linares Mines further advices have been
received, the progress of forking the water still con-
tinues satisfactory, and the portion of the lodes in
view are still highly encouraging.

THE ARMY AND NAVY.
(From the United Service Gazette of this day.)
THE NEW BOARD Ot ADMIRALTY.—The new
patent appointing the Lords Commissioners of the
Admiralty, which, independently of a change a
members, is necessary on account of the promotion of
Rear-Alniral Mrlseley, C. 8., M.P., has not yet ap-
peared in the Gazette, nor, indeed, have the promotions
consequent upon the deaths of the Admiral of the Fleet
and of Sir S. J. B. Pechell, Bart., been gaz-Ated. We
believe it is Purposely delayed, in order to fill up the
vacancy caused by the retirement from the Board of
Lord J. llay. Nothing is yet definitively known as to
who is to he Lord John's successor, but we feel
assured that it will either be Captain Houston
Stewart, C. 8., at present the Comptroller-General of
the Coast Gaard ; Captain Sir James Stirling, com-
manding
her Majesty's ship Howe, in the Mediter-
ranean, or Captain Lord Clarence Paget. The first-
is the favourite in the field, and will
