TURKEY.

CONSTANTINOPLE, Sept. 21.—0 n Friday even-
ing last a number of persons were arrested by the
Government, charged with conspiring to assassinate
the Sultan and some of his Ministers. The arrests,
which continuod to increase in number during
Saturday and Sunday, amount to about 400 in
all. A large number of the accused have, however,
since been set at liberty, and those actually in cus-
tody at tilt present time do not probably exceed 100.
Judking from the persons seriously compromised,
the plot would seem to have found most favour
with the corps of the Ulemas, with the Softas or
students, who are for the most part aspirants for
admission to that corps, and with the army more
eqecially the artillery. A commission of in-
quiry, consisting of six members —viz., the
Cheilch-ut-Islam, the Grand Vizier, the Seras-
kier Pasha, the President of the Grand Council,
the President of the Council of Tanzimat, and
the Minister of Police—was. immediately for-
med. It held .its first sitting on Sunday last, at
the barracks at Couleli, where most of the prisoners
are confined. Their plan was to have surrounded the
Sultan in the street, to have upbraided him with
the abuses of his Administration, and to have
required his abdication in favour of a more worthy

successor. If their remonstrances were favour-
ably received, they would have remained satisfied
for the moment with the progress of their scheme,
relying on the disaffection prevalent throughout
the empire to protect them, and carry into
effect the object they proposed to themselves.
In the event of this not appearing to an-
swer the purpose, but of violence being used to put
an end to the remonstrances, the Sultan—it is
hardly sought to conceal the fact—was to have
been killed on the spot.

AMERICA.

SOUTHAMPTON, FRIDAY MORNING.

The screw steamer Bavaria, Captain Taub, has
arrived in Cowes Roads from New York, which
she left on the 15th inst. Her news is anticipated.
She brings 743,632 dols. in specie for England.
She reportshaving experienced a tremendous gale
from N.W. from the 21st to 23d inst.; on the 22d
a heavy sea struck her, which stove a part of the
deck-house and filled the boiler room with water,
in consequence of which she run out of her rudder
and split all sails. While heaving to another sea
struck her and washed overboard two persons. One
was a cabin passenger, named John Sayers, from
Cincinnati, and the other a seaman belonging to
Hamburg. The ship was hove to for 30 hours.
On the 21st, in lat. 48 N., long. 46 W., the
Bavaria spoke the steamship Vanderbilt, hence,
for New York, and on the 27th, in lat. 49.40 N.,
long., 17 W.. the ship Madras, bound east.
The Arago steamer, which brings New York
mails of the 17th inst., was telegraphed from Hurst
at 10.5 a.m.

LIVERPOOL, SEPT. 29.

The screw steamship North Briton, Captain
Grange, has arrived with the Canadian mails of
the 17th inst. and telegraphic advices from New
York, via Father Point, to the evening of the same
date.

The Nova Scotian was spoken an the 19th,
bound for Quebec.

The rivalry between acrobats at Niagara Valls
had led to a fatal result. A man named Shields—
a professor of course, for who is not a professor ?
undertook to jump from a scaffold to the river
below, a distance of 90 feet, and swim ashore in a
current running 14 miles an hour. The end of
this business, however, is announced in a telegram
as follows :

"Professor Shields, who advertised to jump from a plat-
form, on the 16th inst., into the Niagara River, near the
scene of Blondin's feats, was drowned this morning while
trying to find a place free from rocks. His body has not
been:recovered."

The 3d of Novemer has been appointed a day of
thanksgiving in Upper Canada for the bounteous
harvest.

The Quebec timber market was very dull, very
few transactions having taken place, and only two
of any magnitude.

(BY TELEGRAPH VIA QUEBEC.)
NEW YORK, SEPT. 16, EVENING.

Our cotton market is without activity, the sales
of to-day being restricted to about 500 bales on the
basis of 11;c. per lb. for middling uplands. The
business of the past three days has been only
2,700 bales.

The market for flour is dull and heavy, and
the quotations generally show a decline of sc. to
10c. per barrel. Superfine State sells at 4 dols.
15a. to 4 dols. 50c. ; round hoop Ohio, 4 dols.
80e. to 5 dols. 15c.; and mixed to good Southern,
5 dols. to 5 dols. 15c. Wheat is drooping, and
lc. to 2c. per bushel cheaper. New spring is
quoted at 95c. ; white Western, 118 c. to 120 c ;
and red, 110 c. Indian corn is scarce and firmer;
holders ask 84c. per bushel for mixed Western.
In the provision market pork is firmer. Mess,
15 dols. to 15 dols. 12c.; prime, 10 dols. 50c. to
10 dols. 62c. Beef is active, at unchanged prices.
Spirits of turpentine firm at 47c.
Groceries are generally firm, but steady in

Freights.—The quotations to Liverpool are
7-32 d. for cotton, and ls. 9d. per barrel for flour.
The money-market shows no material change,
and the same may be said of sterling exchanges.
By way of Father Point we have received no
commercial or political news from New York, but
we have a despatch dated at six p.m. on the 17th
inst., which states that the Royal mail steamship
Persia had not been heard of up to that hour. Our
readers are already acquainted with the cause of
this delay, and the fact that the Persia could not
reach New York before the 18th inst., judging by
the time when she was passed by the Africa.

MONTREAL, SEPT. 17, 6 P.m.
Our flour-market is steady, with a good demand
and light receipts. Wheat comes forward slowly,
and is unchanged in value. Ashes steady, at 5 dols.
60c. to 5 dols. 65c. for both pots and p€arls.

ACCIDENT TO ANOTHER CHANNEL ISLANDS
STEAMER.—SOUTHAMPTON, Friday Morning.—The South
Western Company's steamer Despatch, which left here for
Guernsey and Jersey at midnight on Wednesday, broke her
intermediate shaft off the Casket, and put into Alderney,
from whence the mails and passengers were sent to their
destination by a small steamer. This break down will not
interfere with the usual arrangements of the company with
regard to the conveyance of mails and passengers.

Complaints are made of the delay allowed to take
place in completing the legal formalities connected with
the arrangement by which the stock of the Shropshire
Union Railway is to be converted, at the rate of £2OO for
£lOO, into the stock of the London and North-Western.
Pending the settlement of the matter the stock of the
Shropshire Union is virtually unmarketable, and great in-
jury is inflicted on all who are compelled to realise.
According to a telegram received by Messrs. W.
Parfitt and Co., ship and insurance brokers, dated Mel-
bourne, August 19, in anticipation of the Australian mail,
business at that date was dull, and wool, tallow, and hides
scarce, and prices high. The yield of gold was very satis-
factory. No failures have taken place in the mercantile
community. Great speculation prevails in the new mining
companies. Colonel Neill, Deputy Adjutant-General, was
killed on the 20th of July by a fall from his horse. The
steamer Admella, from Adelaide, was totally wrecked near
Cape Northumberland on the 6th of August ; 25 lives were
saved, and 87 lost. The Tasmanian submarine cable is
successfully laid.
INDUSTRIAL TRAINING SCHOOL FOR ST. PAN-
CRAS.-At a meetinx, of the representative vestry of St.
Pancras, on Wednesday, the vexed question of the erection
of industrial training schools for the pauper children of St.
Pancras was, after a long and very stormy discussion,
finally set at rest, for it was resolved to erect schools on a
splendid site offered by the Burial Board at Finchley, at a
cost of £12,000. The money is to be borrowed, and to be
paid back in instalments going over 20 years.
DEATH AT A DANCING ROOM.—On Tuesday last
a fatal accident hap2ened at Beaminster, Somersetshire, to
Robert Tuck, a man aged 67 years, who, on leaving the
dancing room at the Red Lion, about seven o'clock in the
evening, accidentally fell down stairs. The injuries re-
ceived were so serious that he died early on the following
morning. An inquest was held on the body at the White
Hart, on Wednesday last, and the jury returned a verdict
of accidental death.

A NATIVE ADDRESS TO HER MAJESTY.—The
following is a translation of an address from her Majesty's
loyal subjects at Fingoe (the native population) on the re-
call of Sir G. Grey :—" To the Great Queen Victoria. Oh
our great Queen, graciously look upon us. We, thy sub-
jects, Fingoes, residing at Graham's Town," desire to
approach thy feet, and pray before thee. For a long time we
have sat under thy government, loving thy authority and
customs. In thy kindness thou didst send Sir George Grey,
that he might administer rule over us. We saw, when we
arrived, that he was just such a chief as we black people
needed. He manifested his love towards us in many things.
He helped us in all things. He gave us ground to live upon,
that we might no longer be as wanderers and strangers with.
out location. He built us great schools that our children
might enter them, and learn nicely like the children of Eng-
-IN 2 people. We rejoiced for all these things. We said
we are a blessed people under our Queen Victoria ; we are
like children who have a father in all things to preserve, feed,
and help them. But to-day we are smitten with sorrow by
hearing very heavy tidings, that thou, our great Queen,
hast called home our chief, Sir George Grey. To-day has'l
hearts weep—thby are dead because of this. We "'of our
our Queen forsaken us or not ? Having deprived
father, we are now orphans indeed. No, our r_
gde:end back
don't throw us away, but hear our prayer,
With us, and
our chief, that he may again come and live

comfort us by taking away our crying. to with all the
