THE SULrAN's Boon CoMPANIoY.-The Constan-
tinople correspondent of the Daily Netos, after re-
cording the death of Achmet Fethi Pacha, who did
good service to his country by his reorganization
of the Turkish artillery, says-Great as is his con-
sequent loss to the public service, his death has
occasioned no surprise. For the last three or four
years he was known to be suffering from organic
disease of the heart the fatal tendency of which
as everybody also knew, was heightened by vinous
indulgencies which would have excited much ortbo-
dox hostility had they not been shared in by his
imperial brother-in-law Twice or three times a
week for the last three four years did solitary
calque leave the stairs of the palace shortly after
sunset had clothed the shores of the Bosphorus in
respectable obscurity, and gliding quietly down to
the mouth of the Golden Horn, land its muffed
freight at Topkhaneh.
There, in the luxurious little kiosk of the Grand
Master of Artillery, dual debauch kept up
always into the short hours" and often till dawn
was breaking over the hills behind Scutari, when
the waiting caique bore back its imperial passenger
to Dolmabaktcheh, to sleep off through the coming
day the effect of copious alterations of champagne
and bitter beer Achmet Fethi stuck to port, but
his august companion divided his affections between
the rival beverages of Burton and of Epernav.-
Grim death, however, has now parted the jewellers,
and sorrow clouds the brow of Abdul Medjid"

before accusing him openly. Unfortunately he was
proved beyond doubt to be guilty, and was there
fore handed over to the authorities for imprison-
ment until he could be tried. A day or two after
his incarceration the man was met walking about
the town as if nothing had happened, and on being
questioned how he had got out of prison said that
'as these were the last days of Carnival he wished
to enjoy them with his family; that upon his giving
the Turkish authorities guarantee for his reap i
pearance, they had allowed him to come out of
prison to enjoy the feasts of the season; and that
