TURKEY.

We have received Constantinople journals and
letters to the 30th ult., brought by the Jourdain
to Marseilles, and of the Ist, via Trieste. Since
the failure of the plan for the English bank,
and the rejection of a second project, another pro-
position has been brought forward by the capita-
lists and bankers of Constantinople, which appears
to have some chance of success. The capital of this
bank is to be five millions of medjidies (gold pieces
of Turkey) (125 millions of francs), divided into
250,000 shares of 20 medjidies each. Each share
is to be paid for, one fourth on subscribing, another
fourth in six months, the third in 15 months, and
the last at the end of 20 months. Shareholders of
all nations will be admitted, and the bank will be
constituted. as soon as the subscription list is full.
One-half of the capital is to be advanced to the
government for the immediate withdrawal of the
small bank-notes. The copper and other old coins
will be withdrawn by degrees, commencing twelve
mouths after the opening of the establishment.
The other half of the capital is to s,rve for the
affairs of the bank, 'which will have the power of
issuing notes or twice the amount of its metallic
reserve. The gOvernment is to pay 6 per cent.
for all advances made to it. Such is the ensemble
of the plan, but doubts are felt as to whether the
proposed capital of 123 millions will be sufficient
for the exigencies of the present financial situation
of Turkey ; and fears are entertained that it will
only act as a palliative. Every exertion is being
made by the Government to arrest the authors of
the late murderous outrages which have taken
place in the Turkish capital. A representation had
been made on the subject by a collective note
from the diplomatic holy. Armed patrols have
been ordered to go through the streets within
short intervals, and all suspicious persons were to
be arrested and examined. The operations sup-
ported by MM. Perdrix and Pietro N—, wuo
were the objects of the late murderous attacks,
were attended with no unfavourable results.
According to the last accounts from Wallachia, the
state of Ithitigs there appears to be now more clearly
defined. Since the closing of the clubs, a spirit of
modeiation has prevailed, and discussion has be-
come more calm. The great unionist party has
divided itself into two distinct sections—one, wish-
ing. for a constitutional government and a foreign
prince, and the other, for an hereditary native
ruler. Soma propose Prince Sturby and others
Prince Bibesco. The non unionist party is also
broken up into fractions, some demanding the ab-
solute status quo ; others merely the abolition of
the line of customs which separates Moldavia and
Wallachia.

Elizabeth of Hungary, who, belonging to the house of
Bavaria,- was an ancestress of the present Empress.
The theatre was crowded in every part, the greater
part of the men being in uniform, and the lacties in
splendid toilettes. The Emperor and Empress were
greeted on arriving with enthusiastic acclamations ;
and as the opera contained several allusions to them,
their Majesties were again cheered in the course of the
performance. The Emperor and Empress remained to
the end of the piece. The launch of the two steamers,
some days announced, took place at the isle of Altofen,
about six miles down the Danube. The ceremony took
place with great pomp in presence of a vast crowd of
persons of all classes—including not fewer than 3,000
workmen, employed in the building yards of the Danu-
bian Navigation Company. In the evening, there was a
ball at the imperial palace. The Empress danced twice
—once with the Archduke William, and the second time
with Prince E-terhazy. A large crowd collected in
front of the palace, and cheered repeatedly. To-day the
Empiror and Ernpreee are visiting the public monu-
ment=."

LONDON, WEDNESDAY, MAY 13, 1857

The desertion of Lord JOHN RUSSELL by the
old Whig Quarterly is an event not to be passed
by sub slientio, or with anything like indifference.
It caps the climax of the once powerful Party-
Leaders discomfiture. It sets the seal to the at-
testation of his downfall. It brims the bitter cup
of his political sorrows full to overflowing. The
Edinburgh " against" Lord JOHN RUSSELL ! This
is indeed turning the tables with a vengeance !
And when we couple with the extraordinary fact
of the onslaught thus directly made upon Lord
JOHN by what has hitherto been his recognised
and avowed organ among the quarterlies, the no
less startling circumstance of the same quondam
Whig review declaringitself earnestly and cordially
Fa favour of the Noble Lord's chief rival and com-
petitor for the Premiership, Viscount PALMEP.STON
7—we may comprehend how dire must be the
blow `thus levelled at the Pride of the House
of Bedford " Under the influence of an
unhappy delusion," says the Edinburgh Review,
in the current number recently published,
s' under the influence of an unhappy delusion
'which has led him of late years to suppose that no
Libe,•al Government can be formed without his
; and that the elements of any Govern-
rAent which he may think fit to destroy will imme-
diately unite around himself, Lord JOHN RUS-
SELL, in an evil /tour for his reputation., joined the
assailants of the Ministry to which he belonged,
and powerfully assisted in dissolving it." THIS,
observe, from the Edinburgh ! Subsequently
the ex-Whig Review adds that:Lord. JOHN—(who,
a little later on occupied office under Lord PAL-
MERSTON', finding out how entirely he had been
deceived in his expectations)—cc after hav-
ing overthrown one set of colleagues in
January, was driven to secede from another
Administration in June." The reviewer
closing his remarks a little further on with Some
spiteful allusions to Lord JOHN'S last " ill-starred
)iducation measure," and a sneering reference t )
the noble Lord himself as "a statesman fallen on
evil days." It can have assuaged but indiffer-
%atty the anguish produced in the wounded feel-
ings of the ex-Whig Premier by these personal
slights to himself on the part of the ex-Whig
Quarterly—it can have assuaged this anguish but
indifferently, we say, to find the next poisoned
shaft of ridicule selected from the quiver of the
Eviiinburgh, directed point-blank upon a contem-

ARRIVAL OF THE CITY OF WASHINGTON.
LIVERPOOL, WEDNESDAY.
This morning the Philadelphia and Liverpool
iron screw steam ship City of Washington, Com-
mander Jellard, arrived in the river from New
York, which port she left on the 30th cf April. and
has brought 220 passengers. and 70,000 dollars in
specie on freight.

- The Hicsasteamer, from Bremen, for New York,
had put into Boston on the 29th ult., being short
of coal. The Severn steamer, from Liverpool, ar-
rived at Quebec on the 29th, but the Canadian tele•
graph line closed before the name was known.
A large quantity of ice has been passed on the
Banks of Newfoundland.

The Illinois steamer, from California, arrived at
New York on the 29th, with the usual mails and
a'lvices. The mining intelligence reported favour-
able. The other news anticipated by the Arabia.
Intelligence . from Rivas, Walker's head-quarcers,
speak of very great distress and privation amongst
the Fillibusters, who are hemmed in on all sides by
the Costa Ricans, and their capitulation or destruc-
tion seemed inevitable. Orders have been issued
refusing quarter to either Walker or Henningsen.
Our Mexican advices report that gold has been
discovered in the Island of Anacapa.
Havannah dates are to the 256 h ult. Trade is
reported active, and prices of sugar advanced.

IN RE LEOPOLD REDPATH.

His Honour said that in the case of this bankrupt Mr.
Pennell, the official assignee, had received a letter from
a gentleman, named Rowe, living in the North of Eng-
land, enchsing 201. and stating that he had applied to
Redpath for a subscription towards building a new
church, and he sent 201. He, Mr. Rowe, as a clergy.
man did not feel himself justified in retaining it, as it
was unquestionably the produce of fraud on others. His
Honour said that such conduct on the part of Mr. Rowe
was highly commendable.

EGYPT.

A letter from Alexandria of the 2d, in the Sema-
phore of Marseilles, says :--
"A concession for establishing steam-tugs, ap-
plied for by the American Consul, from the Egyc-
tian Government, has led to important conse-
quences. The project in question was sent to the
ministry for examination, accompanied by a re-
commendation in its favour from the Viceroy, but
was rejected by the ministers. The Viceroy, in
consequence dissolved the cabinet and formed
another, in which Zocolcar-Pasha is president of the
council ; Abdalah-Pacha-Oukil, head of the finance ;
and Hassam-Pacha, of the interior. The want of
foresight in the late ministers has been shown by a
scarcity of food which suddenly declared itself at
Cairo, at a period when the navigation is almost
completely interrupted by the shallowness of the
Nile. Public clamour threatened to break out into
open disorder, when the Viceroy interfered, and
took measures to put an end to the scarcity. He
purchased all the corn that was disposable at Alextan-
dria, sent it by railway to Cairo, and sold it in the tiler-
ket below cost price, while at the same time he despatch-
ed steamers to Upper Egypt for the corn necessary for
Alexandria. The Egyptian Company for steam naviga-
tion on the Red Sea and the Mediterranean has been
definitively constituted. The subscription at Cairo
alone amounted to 1,700,000 talaris (8,00,000 fr.)."

TURKEY.

We have received Constantinople journals and
letters to the 30th ult., brought by the Jourdain
to Marseilles, and of the Ist, via Trie,te. Since
the failure of the plan for the English bank,
and the rejection of a second project, another pro-
position has been brought forward by the capita-
lists and bankers of Constantinople, which appears
to have some chance of success. The capital'of this
bank is to be five millions of medjidies (gold pieces
of Turkey) (125 millions of francs), divided into
'50,000 shares of 20 medjidies each. Each share
is to be paid for, one fourth on subscribing, another
fourth in six months, the third in 15 mouths, and
the last at the end of 20 months. Shareholders of
all nations will be admitted, and the bank will be
constituted as soon as the subscription list is full.
One-half of the capital is to be advanced to the
government for the immediate withdrawal of the
small bank-notes. The copper and other old coins
will be withdrawn by degrees, commencing twelve
months after the opening of the establishment.
The other half of the capital is to serve for the
affairs of the bank, which ' will have the power of
issuing notes or twice the amount of its metallic
reserve. The government is to pay 6 per cent.
for all advances made to it. Such is the ensemble
of the plan, but doubts are felt as to whether the
proposed capital of 123 millions will be sufficient
for the exigencies of the present financial situation
of Turkey ; and fears are entertained that it will
only act as a palliative. Every exertion is being
made by the Government to arrest the authors of
the late murderous outrages which have taken
place in the Turkish capital. A representation had
been made oa the subject by a collective note
from the diplomatic boiy. Armed patrols have
been ordered to go through the streets within
short intervals, and all suspicious persons were to
be arrested and examined. The operations sup-
ported by MM. Perdrix and Pietro N— e•--, woo
were the objects of the late murderous attacks,
were attended with no unfavourable results.
According to the last accounts from Wallachia, the
state of things there appears to be now more clearly
defined. Since the closing of the clubs, a spirit of
moderation has prevailed, and discussion has be-
come more calm. The great unionist party has
divided itself into two distinct sections•—one, wish-
ing for a constitutional government, and a foreign
prince, and the other, for an itereditary native
ruler. Some propose Prince Stutby and others
Prince Bibesco. The no :a unionist party is also
broken up into fractionss,
status quo some demanding the ab-
solute; others merely the abolition of
the line of custom which separates Moldavia and
Wallachia.

TO THE EDITOR OF THE TIMES.

Sir,—ln The Times of this morning I observe a
letter from Sir William Napier, stating that Sir
James Outram published in 1844 a letter full of the
most shameless calumnies and insinuations against
Sir C. Napier, " telling the soldiers (78th High-
landers), that the General had moved them through
pestilent marshes, and wilfully as well as ignorantly
caused the frightful calamity that had befallen
them. Mr. Buist, of the Bombay Times, reporting
the accusation, actually denounced Sir Charles Na-
pier as the murderer of the soldiers.' "
Sir James Outram, at the date referred to, was
political agent at Mundlassis, in the Indore domi-
nions. My conviction is, that he never published
any letter whatever on the subject. lam certain
he never employed any words in any way resemb-
ling those assigned to him.
It is with the accusation against myself alone that
lam concerned. I utterly deny the truth of the
charge brought against me, and challenge Sir Wil-
liam Napier to produce the passage he professes to
quote. The Highlanders left Kurrachee for Suk-
kur in August or September, 1844, at a period of
the year when Sir Charles Napier confesses that
Scinde is pre-eminently sickly from the subsidence
of the inundation. Medical opinion, still to be
found on record in the public archives, was strongly
opposed to the movement at that season. Sick-
ness made its appearance before the troops reached
Hyderabad, and became frightful on their arrival
at Sukkur. I saw the regiment leave Bombay,
under Colonel Twopenny, just before a visitor in
my house, nearly 1,100 strong, and saw it return
18 months afterwards reduced to less than 400. I
stated these facts on the authority of the official
recods then in Sir C. Napier's hands, and still in
existence. When, on the 27th of January, 1851,
Sir C. Napier, in addressing the 78th on his land-
ing at Bombay, accused me of the conduct now
imputed to me, and asserted that sickness had first
made its appearance in the regiment in the hospital
at Sukkur in November, 1844, I met him from the
reginieul al books, which showed that it had
broken out at Hyderabad in October, and chal-
lenged him to produce the words he had so un-
warrantably put in my mouth. The answer was the
ordinary cue--a " broomstick" or a court of law.
was at the time on the spot, ready to m-et him or
his friends in any way they desired. Of course, I
was never called upon. lam equally on the spot
now, equally ready to meet all reponsibilities,
equally convinced of full immunity from danger in
any of its forms.
The present charges are quite as true as are about
a hundred others in Sir William Napier's book
against me—they are not one whit more so. Two
of them may be given as a sample of the whole.
He asserts that, in 1844, I was "in Paris writing
to the Etenxh press"—knowing that, from 184;
ti 111845, I had never for an hour been out' of
