CONSTANTINOPLE, SEPT. 29.—Redshid Pasha has ob-
tained a brilliant and complete victory over the great Koor-
dist Chief Ravander Bey, whose possessions extend to the
frontiers of Persia, and who was so totally routed that he
was obliged to surrender with his whole family.
OCT. 4.—Scarcely was the news received of the great
victory of Redschid Pasha in Asia, when on the 29th and
30th September, several Tartars arrived from the Pasha of
Bosnia, announcing an equally great victory over the rebels
in that province. At the same time the Rumeli Valessi
reports from Monaster, in Albania, a defeat of the rebel
Mahmoud Pacha, in which 3,000 of the insurgents were
killed. It is difficult to describe the joy which these events
have given to the Sultan and all the Turkish Ministers.
The Seraskier, Achmet Pasha, communicated the news of
these victories to the Foreign Ministers, who have already
presented their congratulations ; and it is reported to-day
that the insignia of the Turkish Order of the First Class
will be sent to the Vizier of Bosnia and to Redschid

The consequences of these military events are impor-
tant. The opponents of reform become weaker and weaker,
and this war is a real nursery for the Turkish regular troops,
whose aversion to the new organization of the army will
subside, as the power of the Sultan in the interior becomes
more consolidated. The English and French Ambassadors
have dispatched couriers with this news.
The new organisation and division of the Empire into
ten general prefectures will be shortly published.
After such events, the Sultan prosecutes his plans much
more promptly, and avoids all resistance before-hand. The
system of centralization, which has been injurious in other
countries, seems to him calculated to restore the ancient
power of the Empire. Mr. Urquhart and the Reis Effendi
have agreed on the basis of a commercial treaty between
England and Turkey.—Frankfort Paper, Oct. 26.

In the Gloucester Poor Union the rates have been
reduced 3,000/. per annum.

A meeting of the Baronets of Scotland and Nova
Scotia was held at Gibb's Royal Hotel Edinburgh, on Friday
last, Sir John Campbell, Bart., of Ardnamurchan, in the
chair. The meeting was rather thinly attended, though
greater than that which last year originated the proceedings
of the Ulster Baronets. The secretary laid before the
meeting an opinion of the attorney and solicitors, Yorke and
Talbot, strongly corroborative of the view taken by him,
that the rights of the Nova Scotia Baronets cannot be af-
fected by non-user, prescription, &c. Mr. Muir stated that
there was a cage in point in dependence in the Court of
Session betsween his client, Sir William Sibbald, and the
Crown, Sir William having lately taken infeftment of his
16,0'30 acres in Nova Scotia, the Crown officers had brought
an action of reduction. This case, which may be viewed
as a trial case, will shortly come to judgment ; the importance
to the order not being foreclosed by a decision of an indivi-
tual case, and the advantages to arise from an active co-
operation, are apparent.
After the famous battle of Lissa, in which Frederick
the Great, with 30,000 men, defeated the Austrian army of
90,000, he unexpectedly rode to the castle of Lissa, a small
village on the approach to Breslau, which still remained in
the hands of the Austrians. A. party of Austrian officers
were not a little surprised when their conqueror entered
the room where they were assembled, modestly inquiring,
Have you any room for me here, gentlemen ?"
CORONER'S INQUEST.—On Saturday night an in-
quest was held at the Good Man, Norton-street, Maryle-
bone, on the body of Mr. Thomas Mason, aged 23. Mr.
Elridge,William coach-maker, of No. 30, Carurton-street,
Fitzroy-square, deposed that the deceased, who was
a Single
man, and by trade a cabinet-maker, had resided in witness's
house for the last six months ; for several weeks before his
melancholy death, he was extremely- dejected in spirits ; on
Thursday morning he did not make his appearance, and
some suspicion was consequently excited ; his door was
knocked at, but he made no answer ; the door was ultimately
broken open, when he was discovered in bed quite dead,
dead, caused by a pistol-bullet entering his head. Deceased
was not embarrassed, nor had be been disappointed in his
affections. Verdict—" Temporary derangement."
