The Weser Gazette of the 17th gives the following ao.
count, from Constantinople, of an attempt to poison the
SULTAN. It bears no date:—

" The Sultan has barely escaped being poisoned. Some
fanatical Ulemas had formed a conspiracy against him. The
brother of his Highness was at the head of the plot. The plan
was to corrupt the Sultan's doctor. The latter feigned to
enter into the project. A million was the price offered him
to kill his master by mixing poison in his medicine. The
conspirators fell into the snare, and committed themselves
by writing. The doctor, Spitzer, revealed the plot to the
Sultan. Abdul Medjid would not believe it till convinced by
written proof. The doctor, unable to remain in Constanti-
nople, lest he should fall a victim to the vengeance of the
conspirators, left with his wife for Trieste. A few days af-
terwards it was learned that several Ulemas had disappeared.
They had been executed. No one knows what has become
of the Sultan's brother."

HOLDING QUARTER SESSIONS.-.4t is a matter of
surprise that in all counties (it is the ease in same) a Court
of Quarter Sessions is not held just before the Spring Assize,
in order to clear away all offences for trial that a Court of Quar-
ter Sessions ca: dispose of, and thereby relieve the judges of
much trouble, and, besides, save public inconvenience and
expense. Quarter Sessions happen before the Summer As-
size, and, in consequence, minor cues are cleared off and the
judges relieved. So It 5110Uld be prior to O. BPripg gaol
