\ SINGULAR CWcrMsrANcE At CoNsrA%riNnrLg.---
The Rev. Mr.. Sclaullrr, from Consiannoplc recent
y stated IN New York very singular circumstance
in regard TO the present and prospective state Of
rlani!sm. which We had not previously heard Of. In
the great mosque Of Omar at Con-tnnnoplc. has
been preserved for great number Of years the green
coat Of the false Prophet. He gaze his followers 10
understand that this coat was woven in heaven and
brought down to him by the angel Gabriel. Mr.
Schancr sayshat belief generally prevails through
out Turkey that thi. emblem Of islamsm would rc-
main on earth during the existence OF true faith, and
thai lis disappearance would be the signal for the
downfall Of the Prophets Kingdom.
This rom disappeared from Me mosq,n Int spriag ycry
mystcriolsy and the superstitous believe that il has
been taken mp 10 heaven by Gabriel aud hence think
the reign Of the Prophet Is drawing TO a close The
consequence is that great numbers of AIohammI,.ans
are becoming indifferent to the faith, aud 0re much
more tolerant Of Christianity than they haze ever
before been II will be recollccted that the sultan
has placed all denominations upon the same legal
level. Altogether, the change in Turkey is most
surprising Ills more tolerant now than many nomi-
nally Christian countries AZ to the green coat, ii
was of courc stolen, and Mr.. Schaulcr thinks will
again appear, perhaps us unexpectedly as II went,
and at some critical moment.
NATIONAL CIlEss CONGREss.Thc New York Tri-
bune, of the 2Sth ul says The four prize,bearcrs
in both tournaments have been struggling during yes
terday and the day before, with the following result
Alr. Paul Morpby had gained two games out Of the

the latter resigned thus assuring his opponent either
the first second prize in the match. Mr.. Paulscn
induced his adversary, Dir. Raphael to give in the
first game of the section the second, after lasting
during II hours, was made draw, and the cones
tants meet again this morning. In the minor tourna-
mcnt, Mr.. Solomons won three straight games from
