TURKEY.-A correspondent of the New York
Courier and Enquirer, writing from Constantine
Pile, speaks as follows of Turkish power and Turk
ish prospects:
"Physical power rather than social amelioration
is the prime end of the present Government. The
army and the navy its great pride and constant
attention. The regular army consists Of about
900 men, but it is now rapidly increasing by
large conscrptons made all over the country to re-
sist the threatened aggressiOns of Russia. The pay
of the soldiers is about ninety cents month their
uniform is no longer Turkish, but consists OF red
Fee cap, blue Jacket, and blue or white pataloons.
The men are generally older than other European
soldiers but yet appear like stout hardy fellows.
Though they have many European officers, their
field discipline is very imperfect, and their march
anything but sodsrly. They well clothed, we'll
equipped, and particularly well lodged better bar
racks | have seen nowhere. The artillery il eX-
ceedingly well appointed its stock Of field pieces
is immense and constantly increasing. The very
,lav of nv arrival every shore was ringing with tile
first trial of $50 new brass cannon. The Turkish
navy contains the finest and largest three-decker
in the world and its strength is at every short IN
terval reinforced by the launching Of some splendid
war steamer. But all the vessels are poorly man
ned their crews are made up chiefly Of raw con
scripts from the country, who hardly know Eudde
from plough-tail.
Alter ALL these elIuris of Turkey TO get up &
martial and smashing outside remind one OF al
| important old dotard creeping into fine aTm0r ant
strutling under borrowed pumes. The Ottoman
Empire has lost its virility, and does not contain
within itself single element of national greatness
nor a solitary germ Of social regeneration Its car
cass is only upheld by the rival isalouses Of tht
three great power rs Of Europe when that sustain
! ing force ceases to act, in consequence Of opel
war or secret compromise, the earthly tabernacle
of the Ottoman Sulians will fall TO the ground for
ever. The Turks themselves have presentimen
/ that their days are we'll night numbered and o
account of this they bury their dead on the Asiati
side of the BosphorUs A book which they regaF
as Canonical and holy, predicts the downfall of h

DECEMBER AND MAY AGREEiNG.-The follow
ing singular affair happened at Williamsburg, Long
Island, opposite New York City. 1t appears that
young lady of some fourteen fifteen years ofage,
after an acquaintance of two days, was united to
widower of fifty with family of seven children.
After the ceremony, the happy pair retired TO the
house Of the groom to celebrate the nuplials with
a few invited guests, when the father of the lady
entered and demanded his daughter. Fearing the
paternal wrath, she crawled under the bed, whence
he eudeavOred to drag her, bun was prevented by
the guests He then proceeded to a Justices court
for an officer, and obtaining one, returned Mean
while, the bride accepted the protection Of young
gentlemen present, and when the officer arrived
could not be found. Up to the present time, the
youthful bride is among the missing.

sit is impossible to believe that the difference

or words OF bad education that two great States
will break their political aud commercial relations !;
but we cannot but remark how much The choice
Of diplomatic agents influences lie destiny Of ne
gotiaiions. In general, since February, the nomi-

made without reflection, and it Is sufficient TO travel
a little, to perceive their Objectionable demeanor-
at one lime thinking to surprise by naughty lan-
gusge and al another, allowing themselves to be
played on by more skful dipiumaists. The choice
Of agents is must important for the success of an
affair. Ia that science men make the things and
characters, create difficulties, or remove them.
The affair of the United States will be arranged ;
but it must not be forgotten that the Cabinet Of ST.
Petersburg has been, for many years, anxious fol
the alliance with America, and that the interest oil
the United States is, 10 have maritime position

THE SULTAN OF TURKEY The following sketch
of Abdel Medschid, the present Sultan Of Turkey,
is interesting at a time when the politics of West
ern Europe may, to certain extent, depend on the
policy pursued by the Ottoman Porte The sketch
is written by recent traveller in the East;
Abdel Medschid, the present Sultan, is % years
of age; dresses, with the exception of a Fec cap,
| in the European style and, that his face is
unusually pale and deeply pitled with the small
poK, has nothing very noticeable in his PERSONAL
appearance. He inhefils little of the intellectual
vigor Of his father Mahmoud, but his heart is
amiable to degree bordering on weakness. His
sensblies such that he never signs DEATH
warrants except in cases of the most urgent neces
sitV. He takes scarcely any personal part in the
Administration OF the Government, choosing TO
leave everything to the control of his VizieF and
Divan. He has five or six wives and large
harem. The latter is regularly increased by the
annual presentation of two beautiful and accom-
plished Crcassian virgins, one by his mother, the
Suana Vaede, the other by his Grand Vizer
The old custom of sackng the uniaithfu and
throwing them into the Bosphorus, has become
totally obsolete; hut it is generally supposed that
State policy still makes way with some at least of
the Sultan's male offspring, for the number of his
SONS is always very disprop0rtionate to that of his
daughters. The Sultan is not only extremely eff
Terminate and licenlous, but he very frequently
INDUCES in the Of spritu0us liquors, and 1t Is
by no means improbable that he will meet the fats
of his father, who died in the prime of his life Of
delirium tTemeES.
Abdel Medschid has dispensed with much of the
glittering pOmp that used to attend the Sullan's
appearance in public, but yet he goes to the Mosque
every Friday in great state. His splendid barge of
% oars, escorted by numerous beautiful pinnaces,
and gliding with swallow like swiHpess up the
Golden Horn to the Mosque Of Eyouh, near the
valley of the Sweet Waters, amid the roaring Of
cannon from each side, and the cheers Of the sail
OTIS and soldiers from the decks of the magnificent
seventy-fours, has been one of the most stirring
| sights have yet witnessed in Constantinople.

O1s- The editor of the Chicago Tribune, who
was at the ST. Louis Convention, has the following
remarks among others upon letters addressed to the
Convention:
Mr.. Van Observation-Disclosures the cOnven-
ton postponed the reading of all letters, when Mr.,
Van Burens was called for the " outside pressure"
was great TO resist, and the reading Of it, in
connexiOn with one or two othe RS, was ordered.
Mr.. ClaV's--Is decidedly non committal, and not
much longer than the Cass letter TO the Chicago
Convention. He says, " As to the project ITSELF
the means of its execution, and the termini Of the
road, stand perfectly uncommitted."
Gen. CaSs's-Is somewhat longer than his Chi
cage letter. and not long as the one he wrote to
Nicholson, He has avoided the extremes that
characterized those productions and which proved
ST. disastrous 10 his political prospects. After freely
endorsing the objects of the convention, he says
he hopes its action " will insure the speedy com
plelOn of the work circumstances tUiu
permit"
Mr.. CaLhoun's-Is very satisfactory He advO,
Gales The measure in short letter, and in cOnclu-
Sion says, regard the work TO be one Of 100 great
magnitude and Importance 10 be influenced by local
work should look 10 the whole Union, and the
general commerce OF both The Atlantic and Pacific
oceans"
Governor SeWdrd S-Fully endorses the scheme.

From SANTA FE.-A letter from Independence,
dated Oct 26th has the following passage in regard
to a duel and the election in Santa Fe There
was but little news of interest in or about Santa
F6. A few days before the party left, Judge
Houghton and Major Weightman, fought duel,
something arising in court having given rise to it.
The parties met, and owing to some misunderstand-
ing on the part of the seconds, Judge H. fred a
little too soon the Major then fired his pistol in the
air. No injury done on either side, and the honor
of the parties vindicated | suppose. The matter
was amcably adjusted The election took place
about the both Of the month, in New Mexico.
Hugh Smith was chosen delegate TO Congress, and
is now on his way to take his seat in the House at
the next session. Messrs. Mcknight, Thompson,
Patton and others, will be in in a few days. Bust
ness was remarkably dull for the season."

THE PosTOFFICE DEPARTMENT--Ihe Wash
ington correspondent Of the New York Tribune,
writing from the seat Of government last week,
speaks as follows Of changes that will probably
occur in the Postoffice Department:
Mr. O. r. Hobbie, the first Assistant Postmaster
General, will receive notice TO quit soon as Mr..
itz-Henry Warren returns TO this city, which will
be by Saturday Of this week. have it from good
authority that he is 10 Gil the place that will he
made vacant by the removal Of Dir. lIobbie, and
YOU will agree with me that more appropriate or
better selection could not be made. There is some
objection to il here, only, however, from aPprehen
si0u that his equal will not be found very readily
10 occupy the post he will vacale, and the duties
Of which he has met and discharged with 50 much
credit to himself and satisfaction 10 the public If,
however, as / have heard suggested, and hOps the
suggestion may prove true, the agr0essOrshIp Of
Col. Warren should fall upon either John e.. Clark
of your State, or Nathan Sargent the popular Re-
corder of the General Land Office, think neither
the country nor the administration will have any
thing TO complain of.
Previous to the lettings Of the new contracts,
etc. it is of the highest importance TO the success
of the Administration and the best interests of the
country, that Mr. Hobbie should be dsarmed Ol
his ability to embarrass the one, retard the ad-
vancement of the other, from political bias and
prejudces, and the selection Of Mr.. Warren will be
hailed with qualification in every section Of the
country desiring improvement in our mail facilities.
