m. sultan of Turkey ana the world. Fair.
Cons.ponds~ce Of the N. Y. Commercial Advertiser ]

Correspondence Of the N. " Commercial Advertiser.
LONDON, April s. 1851.
Tcizi Baari, "the skinner of the ocean,"is daily
expected at the Southampton docks. The Sultan Of
the Turkish empire has heard of the fame of the
great exposition, and applies for formal admission
for his country's products within the Crystal Pal
ace, even at this late day. She sailed from Con-
Teizi Baari-having on board Vice Admiral Mus
tapha Pacha, Gemahdin Pacha Saith Effcndi and
other tailed functionaries Of the Turkish govern
ment, bearing such specimens of the wealth and
taste OF the harem, the bare catalogue of which has
served to whet the female curiosity of the West end
to the utmost. II appears that the Sultan, in order
that the productions ofhis Kingdom may vie not
worthily with others at the great exposition, has
made largo purchases throughout his dominions.
Carpets tho most magnificent description, tapes
try that France cannot rival; textile fabrics that
have never before been suffered to leave the coun-
try and have been for the exclusive use of the Sc
raglio stuffs of silks and woods exquisite beyond
compare in fneness and finish; and shawls invoic-
ed at ESQ sterling are among the articles of Tezi
Baaris cargo. 1t will be late day for the exhibit
ton when these goods reach London, but In con-
sideration-l hardly know of what-perhaps of
special compliment to the Sultan, because he has
at last awaked, perhaps through the paramount
influence OF the ladies of England, who will not
hear of a dcnial-the decision of the Royal Com
mssioners TO receive contributions after the 10th
Of April will DO reversed, and special counters,
tables, and fixtures will be prepared for this unex-
pccted Offering of the Sublime Porte.
II ia amazing what arrangements are making
throughout all the world for pilgrimage to this
shrine of universal industry. Every day brings
new intelligence OF the crowds that hasten thither
There ia probably not civilized nation on tho
face of the earth which will not, within the next
three months, have its representatives in London.
Even halfcivilizsd India, in the persons Of princes
and mobiles Of the East, has sent large deputaton,
and almost any day at the ''palace' they may be
pointed out, not only Parsce merchants, but the
nabob of Nizam, the Rao of Clutch, and the Rajah
of Travancore, the finest delegation of half Angli-
cised East Indies, it s said that visited Great
Britain.

The Texas BONDS AND NoTEs-A letter from
the Office of the auditor of Texas gives the follow
ing description of the securities OF the State, which
were subjected to the process Of "scaling az it is
called, and the rates at which they were classed.
II must be noted that this scaling was never de-
clared to be a defnitive settlement in regard to
these securities. The State of Texas called in this
class of paper, and substituted for the original
tificates new ones. which simply declared on their
face the nominal value originally issued, and
the sum received for them by the State at the time
they were issued. But no law was ever passed af-
frming the intention to acknowledge only the re-
duced amount

of 9Th February, 1910, pay able to Charles De Morse

interest from date to LIST July, 1850.
"The printed interest notes payable to VIM. G..
Cooke, signed by Sam Houston and Henry Smith,
are allowed at par, with interest from date to LIST

"Thc treasury notes not bearing interest, known
as red backs are casDed at twenty five cents on
