A telegraphic despatch from Marseilles announces
the arrival there of Feruck Khan, who was warmly
received by the authorities, and was present at a
fete given in Lis honour by the future Persian
consul.

It is said that two frigates are to be constructed
ou the plan of the ships of the line, plated with
i ron, as invented by the Emperor. They are to be
first class, and built after the model of the Auda-
cieuse and the Impetueuse.
It is stated that the French riflemen are to be
armed with double-barrelled guns ; and that the
experiment will be made with a few companies at
first.

The following telegraphic despatches have been
received here :

" MARSEILLES, April IG.—Accounts have been
received from Constantinople to the 10th. The
projected prison reform had been approved of by
the Sultan. M. de Prokesch bad taken his depar-
ture on leave of absence. Omer Pacha had de-
spatched from Bagdad an expedition against the
neighbouring hostile tribes. The Passe d'Orient
announces that the Porte has severely punished the
the Armenians who obtained passports as natu-
ralised Russians. It was desired at Constantinople
that this lesson should not be lost on the Armenian
population of the empire. M. Benedetti, French
consul at Trebizond, had been active in direct-
ing the salvage of the cargo, bullion, and machi-
nery of the Egyptus. The son of Sefer Paella hai
discovered, by means of intercepted letters, a
plot organised in Circassia in favour of Russia.
The Hungarian Bangya, who had taken service
with the Circassians, had confessed his share iu the,
plc*, and had been condemned to death, with seve-
ral emissaries of the Russian General Philipson."
" TRIESTE, April 16.—Intelligence has been re-
ceived from Constantinople to the Bth. The Sultan
had decided on augmenting the pay of the troops.
Mustapha-Pacha was to be sent on a hydrographical
mission to the Black Sea. The Greek Chambers
have voted a pension to the family of Conduriotis."
" BERLIN, April 15.—Letters from St. Peters-
burg announce that Prince Vassiltchikoff has been
named ad interim Minister of War during the
absence of General Soukhozanett, in consequence
of ill health."
" LISBON' April 15.—Prince George of Saxony
has arrived here after a favourable passage of four
days."
Another proof of the extraordinary credulity of
the French peasantry was presented to the Tribu-
nal of Correctional Police of St. Flour (Lozere)
a few days ago :—A. farmer of the village of Le
Fayat stated that his daughter having fallen ill, he
consulted ono Morand, who was considered a con-
juror, and that man persuaded him that the girl
was bewitched, and that the way to cure her was
to buy a handful of new Nails and boil them in a
new pot until the pot broke, at the same time bury-
ing with sundry incantations three sous under
a stone at a distance ; but this did not sueceed.
Morand then made him try new experiments, such
as boiling calf's liver with horse nails, tire. All,
however, failed. Morand did not give these valu-
able counsels gratis, but got from the man 50f. in
money, a cow worth 1201., and a mare worth 130 f.
The man's neighbours, however, told hlm at last
that Morand was no conjuror, but an impudent
swindler, and the dupe had him arrested. The
tribunal condemned Morand to four months' im-
prisonment, and to restore what he had obtained.
