TURKISH TREASURES

Ifthe following statement from Neapolitan

for cash to carry on the war. He might easily
spare loan to his gentle neighbor NICHOLAS,
who must borrow trfle or two from somebody,

"Several laws Of the Koran enioin the

order to observe this precept, each SoVe-
reign, residing in Constantinople, since Ma

city in 1853, eHcloses in chamber of the
Seraglio the gold, silver, and other riches
which he intends to economic. The sum
that each Sultan puts aside in this manner
amounts to about G480,000, a kind of tariff
fixed upon by common custom. Independ-

arrived at Boston from Liverpool, which
port she left on the 2lst April, with papers
two days later from London than former
advices.
An article from Odessa of the 22d March,
states that war has been declared against
the Porte, and the army waits only for a
favorable season to open the campaign
The Courier in remarking upon it observes
" that this does not allude to any fresh de-
claration, but is the reply which the st. Pc
tersburgh Gazette published to the Turkish
manifesto, and which was a sufficient indi-
cation of the intentions of Russia. Trans
ports are taking in provisions at Odessa
for the Russian army, and they are said to
be hired to proceed as far as Constantine
pie" The Odessa article adds, " that above
one hundred transports of different nations
have been placed at the disposal of the
Commissariat department An article from
Berlin, May 9, Observes" the private let
tiers from st. Petersburgh say, that the war
with Turkey is considered close at hand,
and that the people had received the news
with the greatest Joy. 1t was said in that
capital that orders had been given to fit out
all the ships of war at Sebaste-all which
are to Join the fleet in the Black Sea and
it is thought this fleet will be sent to cruise
at the entrance of the Bosphorus. Many
vessels are fitting out at Odessa"
In remarking upon the recall of the Prus-
sian Envoy, M. de Millitz, from Constant
nople, the Courier observes, he has incur
red the displeasure of his sovereign, in con-
sequence, it is reported, of having suffered
Turkey to believe that if she declared war
against Russia she might expect the sup
port of the other powers. Prussia as wea
as Austria is we know, strenuous in its en-
deavors to prevail upon Turkey to listen to
more moderate councils, and thus avert the
impending bangor II Is supposed there
fore, that the Austrian ministers will also
be recalled nom Constantinople as well as
the Prussian, in order to afford the most
public evidence that the Austrian cabinet is
influenced by the same policy as the Prus-
sian. Turkey seeing all those hopes disap-
pointed which led her to believe that the
European powers would not leave her 10
contend with Russia single handed, will it
is trusted, return 20 more prudent policy,
and accede to such terms as may vet pre-
serve peace. But we do not expect she
will adopt such policy until the Russians
have crossed the Pruth and advanced to the
Danube. The Emperor of Russia has Civ
ell us his repeated assurances Of moderation
and in that disinterestedness which has
made him declare he has no objects of az.
grandisement in view, ample cause to be-
lieve that he will not reject offers Of nego-
citation, nor insist upon harsh and severe

ASSASSINATION OF MAJOR LANG AND
CAPT. CLAPPERToN. 1t is with great con-
Germ that we state there is no longer any
doubt with respect to the fate of these en-
terprising, persevering, but unfortunate
travellers. They have both been murdered.
The Pasba of Tripoli has received letters
from one of his officers in the interior of AT
RIGA, communicating the painful intelli-
gence.
1t appears that Major LANG was severe
ly wounded by robbers in the territory of
Toualt. Having, however, recovered, in
consequence of the kind attention of mar
about, or priest, he at length succeeded in
reaching Timbuctoo. But he had scarcely
arrived, before the Foulahs, that powerful
and warlike horde which at present reigns
exclusively over the immense deserts of
central Africa, came to the number of thirty
thousand, and demanded that Major Laing
should be delivered up to them, that they
might put him TO death "and thus" as
they observed, "prevent Christian nations
from receiving such information as might
enable them, at some future period, to pen
citrate into, and enslave, the countries of
Africa" Before the arrival of the Foulahs,
twenty-four CHIEFS, among whom was fe-
male called Mana Beira tPrincess-Mother)
commanded simultaneously in Timbuctoo.

what becomes of this treasure accumulated
in so considerable a manner by each Sui
tan? This is curious question.
Every year the Kislar-Aga, the Chief OF
the black eunuchs, makes an inventory
of the riches amassed during the twelve
month and the operation being terminated,
the Grand Signor, accompanied by the prln,
cipal officers of the Crown, repairs III grand
ceremony to the chamber OF the Treasury,
and places his signet upon the chest. After
the death of the Sovereign, there are found
as many chests in his chamber as he has
lived years. The chamber is then closed,
and the signets of every one of the prlncl-
pal officers placed upon the door; and an
inscription is added, indicating that IN tins
place is the treasure of such Sultan. HIS
successor forms his treasury in another room
of the Seraglio and after his death 1t is also
closed, and the same circumstance occurs
during each new reign. Now; as from the
time of Mahomet ii. Constantinople num-
hers forty-one Sultans, there exist in the
Seraglio forty-one chambers, containing
each the treasure of each of these Sove-
reigns.
'FIn order to touch any of these treas
ures-to dare to enter a single one OF these
numerous chambers-it would be necessary
that the Ottoman Empire were reduced to
the lowest extremity. 1t appears that the
necessity of violating the Sacred Treasury
has not hitherto been deemed necessary.
The Sultans, rather than have recourse to
such measure, prefer making the mos'
cruel exactions from THEN subjects. Such /:
tho financial system of economy of this ma
! tion-it is far from the acknowledged prln-
ciples of civilized States"

to have originated from a coal-pit. 1t has

On TEETH. The Edinburgh Review
says no English gentleman has spit on the
floor since the heptarchy- and we suppose
that it might also be said that no English
lady has had bad teeth since those days.
1t is a common remark among foreigners
that Americans spit on the floor, and that
American ladies neglect their ivory. The
former part of the observation is base scan
dial, but the latter clause is lamentable truth.
We do not set up for revilers Of the sex.
1t is because we are so particularly inter-
ested in the reputation of our fair country
women that we hazard the following
thoughts, and we care not if by them we
hazard their good opinion.
A good set of teeth is necessary for the
beautiful set of features. A fine set of
teeth will even make ordinary features "a
gleeable, but the most beautiful complexion,
eyes, mouth, hair, form-will not in the
slightest degree compensate for neglected,
decayed, uncleanly teeth No person of
good manners would. now think of such
thing as mentioning teeth in company, on
account of the associations we are obliged
unhappily to connect with them. How DIFF
ferent would our ideas of propriety be, if
people carried about with them good white,
handsome, sound and wholesome teeth.
Then the mention of them would only re-
mind US of purity, cleanliness, beauty
Now, the mention Of them is vulgar, because
it reminds US of any thing but what it
ought to.
How can people be so neglectful ofthe
common decencies of life Especially
how can women-women too who call them
selves ladies-who are proud of their per-
hsq H Sc rendered Of no ava
even rendered disagreeable, if not disgust
I ing--from neglect of what it would be very
easy to take care of, and what is their sa-
cred duty to attend to. | cannot feel the
/ slightest respect or the least affection for a
woman, be she ever so beautiful or sensible
or accomplished-who neglects this, the
first duty Of woman. Wit, brilliancy, grace,
power, sense, music, poetry, painting-~any
thing-every thing is forgotten:
"Ths one evil fills her with faults"
This is not an evil by any means confined
\ it is general. We venture to say that OF
2 or 800 rows of teeth one may meet with
| in the streets Of Boston, on very pretty
and very genteel women, not more than ff-
! ty are perfect, and not more than fifty can
be called passable. So, on generous com
putation, two thirds of our women have I'M
perfect, neglected teeth This evil, "has
increased, is increasing, and ought to be
diminished" We recommend to the rising
/ generation of young ladies' to pay particular
attention to the principles here conveyed.
If this evil is not eradicated, it will become
permanent national reproacA, and orr
land will deserve, if it does not receive the

TRIUMPH OF SURGERY. During the last
month, an instance has occurred in this
city, in which a venerable and useful citizen
has been rescued from sudden and terrific
death, by the skill and enterprise of Doctor
David M. Reese, and it affords us pleasure
to record his rapid and entire recovery
from so formidable ali operation.
Peter De Noyelle, well known for many
years as a representative of his district in
the Congress of the United States, aged
sixty years, had been suffering since Feb
ruary last, with disease of the lower Jaw
bone, which compelled him, after submitting
in vain to medical treatment in the neigh
Dorhood of his residence, at Haverstraw, to
come to this city in pursuit of professional
advice. After consultation with several
of our distinguished surgeons, and they all
concurring in the necessity of the immediate
removal of the jaw, the old gentleman con-
sented to submit, and DR.. Reese having
been chosen by him as the operator, per-
formed it on the 18th ultimo, removing the
jaw from beyond the chin to the angle, and
this with the tumor weighed 7s ounces.
On the LIST of May, instant, % days after
the operation, the Judge returned home,
entirely free from the disease, the whole
wound having healed, and having no de-
formity in the face, and suffering no other
Inconvenience, than being obliged TO con-
fine himself altogether to fluids for nourish-
ment, from which, however, he suffers but
little privaton. A letter from DIR. Cornell
son, his family physician, says I" the opera
ton performed by DR.. Reese, on the 4th
ult., has completely succeeded; and that,
too, with rapidty, perhaps, unexpected,
and, certainly, unparalleled in the annals of
modern surgery" This great operation of
amputation of the lower Jaw, was first at
tempted in New York, a few years since, by
DR.. Valentine Mott, and with success.
The merit of originality is therefore due to
our city; and we rejoice that DIR. Reese
has given the surgical world another exam
pie of success in this difficult operation.

PARAGUAY. Verbal accounts from South
America, in which we place reliance, state
that the celebrated DIR. Francia, the tyrant,
or, as he denominates himself, the Dictator
of Paraguay, still maintains his rigorous
system towards foreigners who enter his
domains. 1t is said that he has imprisoned,
or placed under duresse, numbers of adven-
turers who have so far confded in him as to
come within his power and that recent in
stances have not been wanting in which he
has proceeded to shooting individuals who
have encountered his dspleasure. We are
told that a number of German soldiers, who
had become discontented with the Emperor
of Brazil, and passed the frontier of Para
quay to enter the service of Francia, have
experienced treatment of this kind, so that
the character of that petty tyrant appears,
if possible, more cruel and more base than
ever. One curious fact is added respecting
this remarkable parsonage: that he carries
on private correspondence with the King
Of Spain, and receives letters from Ferdi-
nand in his own hand writing. We saw it
minated some months ago in foreign pa
per, that he had some communication with
foreign courts, and can now believe there
was some foundation for the report, that he
had proposed to admit European troops, and
to furnish aid to extend and confirm those
absolute principles in which he makes COM
mon cause with other tyrants. Probably
the besotted Ferdinand amuses himself,
like any other lunatic, with the idea of ac-
curing the most splendid possessions, while
he does not recollect that he is dependent
