THE DEPARTURE FOR CONSTANTINOPE.

From the Quai Eugenie they made their way to the
ship Mohrussa, which was to carry them to Constantinople.
The Viceroy was determined to be magnificent until the
very last. There were scarlet-and-gold-laced-coated lackeys
on board, ready to serve in the gorgeously furnished
saloon culinary chefs d'ceuvre, which, it is hoped, was appre-
ciated. Their Royal Highnesses are said to have left a
most favourable impression in Egypt.
THE PALACE AT CONSTANTINOPLE.

The Levant Herald thus describes the Palace at Con-
stantinople :—" Salih-bazar Palace—formerly the resi-
dence, first of 11-hami Pasha, and after him of Mehemet
Ali Pasha—having been finally selected for the re-
ception of the Prince and the Princess of Wales, has
been furnished with a magnificence which throws
Dolma-baktchet itself into the shade. The first floor
sea-front of the haremlik—which comprises three-fourths
of the whole building—has, with the exception of
two rooms, been set apart for the Princess and her
Personal suite; while the corresponding section, on the
opposite side of the long range of solos, has been appro-
priated to the Prince and his attendants—a Turkish bath-
room and the dining and breakfast rooms being on the
same side of the building. The apartments of the Princrs
almost baffle description for their gorgeous profusion of
ormolu, gilded carvings, tapestry—native and French—
enormous mirrors, and, in fact, magnificent upholstery of
every hind. A Gobelin rug, alone, in her Royal High-
ness's bedroom is said to have cost 180,000 p., yet it looks
poor and tawdry besides the Damascus cloth of gold
which drapes the imperial four-poster—itself nearly
as large as the great bed of Ware, and the coverlit
of which is a cashmere shawl fit for a sultana's wardrobe."

TLe Birminghent Gazette says We are credibly
informed with reference to the Bewdley election, that
as soon as the returning-officer receives notice of the
time appointed for the scrutiny, a cross petition will be
sent in against Major Anson retaining his seat, while

THE PRESTON STRIKE.

The accounts from Preston are not encourag-
ing: There still seems to be little prospect of a
satisfactory settlement. No definite arrangement
has been come to about the resumption of labour.
When the spinners and minders, thinking the dis-
pute settled by the acceptance of the 5 per cent.
reduction, went to the mills where they had been
formerly employed, many of them found there were no
arrangements for the resumption of labour. Some
' of the firms wanted the hands to take a 10 per cent.
reduction ; others said that they had their full com-
plement of operatives, and some masters said they
did not intend opening their mills until there was
some improvement in the market. It is said that
between forty and fifty masters have declined to
laccept operatives at a reduction of 5 per cent. The
Operatives are quite willing to resume work on
those terms. The weavers remain bitterly opposed
to the projected change in the wheel dividend
i system.

THE IRON TRADE.

In the cotton trade masters aro being gradually
tinned by the great depression ' • and men are
starving for want of wont. In the iron trade,
happily, the masters are encouraged to hope for
better days. They have passed the time of great
hardship, the time during which so many forges
were closed. Some of the principal works are again
employing men up to their full complement. 'The
quarterly meeting of the Birmingham district was
held on Thursday, and was very well atten
the en ded.
Although there were no heavy orders
tone of the meeting, we are told, was eminently
hopeful. A dull, flat time, with nothing stirring
giv,
either for or against commerce is expected, and then,
it is hoped, work will once again flow in. At present
things are very flat. Out of 172 blast furnac. es in
the Birmingham district, only 97 are in blast ,but
this, though still unsatisfactory, is an improvemen
of eleven in the same period of last year.

THE POSTAGE ON PRINTED ZIATTER.
The absurdity of the present rates of postage on
printed matter is well illustrated by a letter which
appears in the Star. The writer points out that the

RECONCILIATION BETWEDT TURKEY AND GREECE.

It has been stated that fresh diplomatic difficulties are
likely to arise between Turkey and Greece touching the
measures recently taken by the Porte against Greeks
resident in Turkey. These difficulties, if there be any, do
not threaten to produce any results more serious than the
waste of some diplomatic paper. At present, at least, the
accounts from the East are highly satisfactory. Ph otiadea-
Bey has taken up his residence at Athens, and has " met
with a favourable reception." The Sultan is about to pre.
sent King George with a sabre, enriched with diamonds, as
a token of amity. It is hopeless to expect that two States
of such antagonistic policy and interests can be thoroughly
at one, but neither seems at present to anticipate aeriou4
" difficulties."

THE SPANISH CROWN.

The Portuguese are in ecstacies at the refusal of Dom
Fernando to become King of Spain. Addresses of thanks
and congratulation have been presented from all the chief
towns. But though the result is thus satisfactory for the
Portuguese, it leaves the Spanish Minis* in a grave
dilemma. It appears to have sincerely hoped that Dom
Fernando's determination would give way before the
formal offer of the crown, and its failure to ascertain the
definite resolve of that Prince before openly choosing him
has led to a repulse which is nothing less than a disaster.
The Republicans have already turned this mistake to
their advantage in the constitutional debates. But,
according to a telegram in the Standard, the Government
bas no intention of resigning, and the rumour to that effect
11 is wholly unfounded. Serranohas once more announced that
the restoration of Isabella and the accession of Don Carlo*
are alike impossible. The Telegraph feels itself in a posi.
tion to state that the Duke of Montpensier will be accepted
only in the last resort. What the policy of the Govern-
ment will be is at present, therefore, the most open of
questions.

DISCHARGED DOCKYARD LABOURERS.

Sir James Elphinstone, M.P., writes to the Times
on the distress that has been occasioned by the dis-
charge of workmen from her Majesty's dockyards.
Many most respectable persons have suffered greatly,
but as yet they have shrunk from receiving parish
relief. Their case has, however, become desperate;
and many have gladly hailed the offer of Govern-
ment to convey them to Canada in troopships
on payment of a small sum each. In this manner
between four and live hundred at Portsmouth will bo
relieved from their presentdistress. There is still, how-
ever, an urgent want to be supplied, and SirJ. Elphin-
stone makes an appeal to the charitable to provide a
sum for the purchase of warm clothing. The poor
people are indifferently clad, and the climate of
Canada at this season is very cold ; hence the
urgency of the case is apparent to all. The Mayor
of Portsmouth will receive the contributions that
may be sent, and the money will be expended in
warm clothing alone.

BUDGET NIGHT.

The Star remarks that when Mr. Gladstone used
to make his financial statement the avenues of the
House were crowded all day by persons anxious
Is
to obtain admission, but that Mr. Lowe's statement
attracted no such gathering. Our contemporary has
forgotten that this change
due, not to diminished
curiosity on the part of the public, but to improved
arrangements on the part of the officials. There is
no need now to waste a whole day in order to
have a chance of hearing the Budget. It
is no longer the rule first come, first served; and,
therefore, it is no longer of any avail for persons to
take their seats at 5 a.m. The admissions are
arranged by ballot, and it is necessary only to be
at the House by 3.30 p.m. in order to ascertain if
you will be among the favoured seventy and odd
persons privileged to hear the Chancellor of the
Exchequer unfold his secret.
London, England, 1869-04-10

GERMANY.

The Prussian Government is still uneasy about Hanover.
The Cross Gazette states that the houses of several Hano.
verians have been searched, but without leading to any
important discovery. What important discoveries were
expected the Cross Gazette does not say, but it is clear
that all anti-Prussian agitation has not yet subsided.
London, England, 1869-04-10

THE BUDGET.

The resolutions setting forth the provisions of the I
Budget occupy three folio printed pages of the par-
liamentary sessions papers. There are no fewer
than thirty-four different articles which, under the
abolition of the shilling duty on corn, will be set free
from taxation. These includo every conceivable
variety of farinaceous food, from wheat to " bear or
bigg," from barley to "manna croup." The exa-
miners for the India Civil Service competitive exanli-
nation would puzzle their candidates not a little by
requesting them to translate all these terms into
French or German. The remission of the duty on
hair powder involves only three articles ; but it will
be new to some of our readers, we suspect, that
starch is applied to this purpose. One would have
thought that this material would have made a
flunkey's hair stand on end. " Mum "is the
next word we have to deal with ; it is one of the
recognised terms of the brewers' vocabulary, and
henceforth both mum and spruce will be subject to a
duty of a guinea the barrel of 36 gallons. Other
sorts of beer will be taxed according to the specific
gravity of the wort before fermentation; viz.,
from Bs. for a specific gravity not exceeding
1,065 degrees to 16s. for a specific gravity
exceeding 1,090 degrees. The new excise duties
on male servants, carriages, horses, armorial
bearings, and horse-dealers occupy a page, and
vary from 10s. 6d. for a horse, to £l2 10s.
for a horse-dealer. The most simple of
the resolutions are the sth, which totally repeals
the excise locomotion duties; the 7th, which
repeals the percentage duty on fire insurance ; and
the Bth, which repeals the excise duty on tea
licenses. This, the last resolution, includes coffee,
cocoa-nuts, chocolate, and pepper, as well as tea.
The repeal of the taxes on locomotion will pro-
bably have one effect which Mr. Lowe did not con-
template. It will lead to the revival of stage coaches
by way of rivals to the railway trains. The coach
from London to Brighton has proved so successful
that it is intended to run one from London
to Dover over Shooters' Hill. A. coach will
also run to Sevenoaks. The truth is, Lon-
doners are so weary of being whirled
to and from town perhaps every day of their. lives,
that they want a change—a change which will give
them an opportunity of going instead
. over hills of
under them, of seeing a glorious view instead of
being buried in thick darkness. A tunnel has long
ceased to be a novelty. We must go back to the
days of our fathers in order to enjoy the deliuihtful
Spectacle of four gallant horses galloping down
hill. Twelve miles an hour will then be much more
of a sensation than sixty miles an hour is now.

tend,d with serious consequences. When any one finds
his ideas less clear than usual, his eyesight dimmed, and
his head dizzy, while he is indisposed for all exertion,
physical or mental, ho may be quite sure that he is in im-
mediate need of some cooling and purifying medicine.
Let him send at once for a box of Holloway's Pills, after
a few doses of which his head will be clear again, his
spirits be elevated, and all his energies restored. Printed
directions 'for the guidance of patients in the use of this

BECONCILIATION BETWEEN TURK= AND GREECE.

It has been stated that fresh diplomatic difficulties are
likely to arise between Turkey and Greece touching the
measures recently taken by the Porte against Greeks
resident in Turley. These difficulties, if there be any, do
not threaten to produce any results more serious than the
waste of some diplomatic paper. At present, at least, the
accounts from the East are highly satisfactory. Photiades-
Bey has taken up his residence at Athens, and has " met
with a favourable reception." The Sultan is about to pre-
sent King George with a sabre, enriched with diamonds, as
a token of amity. It is hopeless to expect that two States
of such antagonistic policy and interests can be thoroughly
at one, hut neither seems at present to anticipate serious
"difficulties."

THE IRON TRADE.

---
In the cotton trade masters are being gradually
starvingy the great depression • and men are
for want of work. In. the iron trade,
happily, the masters are encouraged to hope for
better days. They have passed the time of great
hardship, the time during which so many forges
were dosed. Some of the principal works are again
employing men up to their full complement. The
quarterly meeting of the Birmingham district was
held on Thursday, and was very well attended.
the
Although there were no heavy orders given,
tone of the meeting, we are told, was eminently
hopeful. A dull, flat time, with nothing stirring
either for or against commerce is expected, and then,
it is hoped, work will once again flow in. At presept
things are very flat. Out of 172 blast furnaces
untt
the Birmingham district, only 97 are in blast ; b
this, though still unsatisfactory, is an improvement
of eleven in the same period of last year.

EARL GRANVILLE AND THE ROYAL ENGINEERS.

The Secretary of State for the Colonies was
recently the cause of very great offence to the officers
of the loyal Engineers. Ile was reported to have said
that they were not "strictly military." The amour-
propre of the body was greatly outraged. If not
military what were they (they asked themselves), and
what did Lord Granville think they were? They wrote
to ask the noble earl himself. His reply is thathenever
meant to imply anything so ridiculous; what he in-
tended to say was that the loyal Engineers, from the
high education they receives and the consequent
frequent employment as civilians, to the extent of
nearly 10 per cent. of their number, make them
eligible for high civil offices, for which officers of the
unscientific brancheshave rarely the same opportunity,
for preparation. With such a reply the loyal Engi-
neers must be highly pleased. In effect the Earl tells
themihatthey are qualified to shine in both capaci-
ties—as soldiers and as civilians.

The able Parisian correspondent of the Times concludes
that the object of the Emperor Napoleon's letter to
M. Mackau is simply to assure France that there is to be
no change—that M. Rouher is still to be Minister, and
his policy still to continue. Public opinion has decided,
says this writer, in favour of M. Rouher's dismissal.
Nobody will believe in reform whilst the present Minister
of State remains at the head of affairs ; indeed the French
are of opinion that his retirement will be the best of all
reforms. But the Sovereign, according to the Mackau
letter, has made up his mini not to change his &lief
"The true difficulty for tho Emperor is to
part with M. Rouher, not only because he is accus-
tomed to that useful servant, and does not like new
faces, but because he is slow to trust any man, and has
kept on the throne some remnant of that suspicious tem-
per which is the natural result of a troubled life passed in
exile, and spent in a long struggle towards power through
unlawful enterprises. Mat involuntary distrust of auy
men he does not know has led him to take his Ministers
out of a narrow circle cf personal acquaintances or
tried friends, whom he dismisses and retakes at wilt,
according to circumstances and to the slight differences
which public opinion attributes to their names, but who
have for him the common and invaluable merit of being
tried or undoubted supporters of his dynasty."

establish the principle of free admiesicn to the sick poor,
without the delay and difficulty of Governors' orders, is
wholly dependent for support on voluntary contributions
and legacies.
It affords relief to a large number of in-patients, and, in
addition to this, the average number of attendance of the
destiinto sick has for a considerable period averaged be-
tween 3,000 and 4,000 weekly.
The Committee earnestly solicit the assistance of the

THAMES.

AN IMPUDENT MENDICANT.--John Lewis, a bloated,
heavy, and dissipated fellow, aged 47 years, was brought
before Mr. Benson, charged-with soliciting and receiving
alms in James-street, Ratcliff, and using threatening and
abusive language to, those who refused to give him alms.
Henry Sliugsby, a police constable, No. 391 K, stated
that he saw the prisoner, who was an impudent and sturdy
mendicant, knock at the doors of ten different houses
in Devonport-street, Ratcliff, yesterday afternoon,
and afterwards knock at the doors of several
houses in James-street, leading out of Devonport-street.
Half-ponce, food, or old clothes were given to the prisoner
at nearly every house. The prisoner's wallet was amply
filled, and he took him into custody. Thorewere 40 outlets
of bread and sundry pit oes of beef and mutton in his
pack. Tho prisoner abused him and used very bad lan-
guage, and also attempted to strike him. He saw money
given to the prisoner, whose conduct was very offensive.
-Slingsby then produced a large packet of bread and meat
which he took from the prisoner.
Mr. Benson—This is a very bad case.
The prisoner said he could get no work, and was ob-
liged to beg.
Mr. Benson—You must not beg.
ho prisoner—And I must not steal.
Mr. Benson—No, you must not steal.
The prisoner—What am Ito do? I must not beg, I
must not steal.

Mr. Benson-. You are a dangerous character.
The prisoner—No ; I am not a dangerous character.
Mr. Benson—You are a regular mendicant, and prefer
bullying and
begging to work. I shall make you work
for a month. You are sentenced to one months' impri-
sonment and hard labour in the House of Correction. If
brought here again and the case made out, the sentence
will be doubled,

LIVERPOOL COTTON MARKET.
June 22.—Sales probably 15,000 bales, possibly more.
The market quiet and unchanged.

A magnificent pair of shears, built up of wrought
iron and worked by double cylinder steam crabs,
has been erected at " Hobbs's Point," Pembroke
Dockyard, during the past week, by Messrs. James
Taylor and Co., of Birkenhead, the firm that
has supplied, under Admiralty contract, the steam
traction locomotives and steam cranes to her
Majesty's dockyard. The shears erected at Pem-
broke are 121 feet in height, and have been con-
structed to carry 75 tons suslended from their
greatest elevation. They passed their test most
satisfactorily, under the supervision of Captain R.
Hall, C. 8., RN., and Mr. J. J. Fincham, of Pem-
broke Dockyard.
A newly-arrived emigrant in America, in soliciting
work, stated that he wanted the money he hoped to earn
to send home to Ireland ; " where," be added, "I have a
wife and seven children, and never saw one of them."
This seemed such a bold and stupid falsehood that the
person to whom he was making application for work
angrily exclaimed, "How dare you tell ma such stuff!
How could you have a wife and seven children in Ireland
without ever having seen one of them ?" "Because, your
honour, the one I never saw was born afthr I sailed fur
Ameriky."
A breach of prom,s2 case is on trial in New York,
where a wish-bone is the only evidence of the gentleman's
"promise" to marry a lady for the breach of which she
sued him for $5,000. The lady testifies that at her brother's
house the defendant found a dry wish-bone and proposed
that they should pull it. When the bone broke the cen-
tral part fell upon the floor. This was interpreted, as the
plaintiff asserts, by the defendant that they should marry
soon, as he remarked, "It seems that we are to be mar-
ried at the same time ; wouldn't you like it ?" To which
the plaintiff replied, " I'll bet I would !"

Diseases of the Liven—Through imperfect erail age or
uncleanly habits the summer's sun will cause the atmos-
phere to be surcharged with deleterious exhalations, which
will produce fevers and irritation of the bowels. To check
the undue action of the liver, usually the first indication of
febrile complaints, the pills invented by Professor Hollo-
way stand unrivalled. The pills aro so easily and so
cheaply purchased that none need suffer either from
nausea, indigestion, disordered liver, dizziness, or torpid
bowels, or, in a word, from any functionalirregularity.
These pills produce a happier effcot on the digestive organs
than any other medicinal compound, whetber mineral or
