THE SuLTAN,S TOuR.


THE SULTAN's TOUR.
His Imperial Majesty on the Danube
THE Parting with the Austrian lLOyaI
FNmily-ReceptIOn In Pesth,
From the Cork Herald, AugustS.
The Sultan left Vienna on Wednesday morn
ing, and was accompanied by the Emperor of
Austria, the Archdukes, and numerous suite
to the place OF embaIkation-the Kaisermuhlen,
in the Prater.
The flotilla which was to convey his Majesty
TO Buda, Pesth, and do Wn the Danube, consisted
of three steamers belonging to the Lloyd Steam
boat Company -the Szechenyi, the Scent Klray,
and the Rudolph. All three were gaily deco
rated with flags and flowers; indeed the deck of
the Szechenyi, on which the Sultan himself was
to embark, had been converted into beautiful
garden, in which sofas and ottomans we're placed
under the shade of towering shrubs and actual
trees
On taking leave the two soyereigns shook
hands repeatedly and cordially, and after the
vessels had left, the Emperor remained on the
landing place until they were out of sight. Buda
was reached during the night, but 1T was not
until the next morning at ten that the Sultan
landed, and was received with great pomp and
magnihcence by the Hungarians His Majesty
was escorted to the palace at Buda by the civil
and military authorities and multitude of
horsemen, tie inevitable Banderiums, and soon
afterwards drove to Pesth and the Stadtwald-
chen, or park, without, however, stopping to
visit the museum or the Esterhazy Gallery, as
had been expected, and where crowds had
collected to catch glimpse of the Grand Turk.
The inhabitants of Buda were equally dsap-
pointed. They had fully expected that the Sultan
would visit the tomb of Ghul Baba Turkish
saint who is buried at Buda, and at whose
shrine pilgrims from the East from time to
time come TO worship. The tomb had been re-
paired and furnished'wlth inscriptions in Arabic,
welcoming the Padishah, tents were erected for
the Sultan and his retinue, and there the greater
part OF the population of Buda awaited him,
but in vain; no Padishah came, nor any of his
followers. Similar disappomtments were fire.
QueEt IN Vienna, as it appears to be contrary to
Oriental etiquette that the movements OF the
Sultan should be determined in advance.
AT o'clock in the afternoon his Majesty re-
embarked and continued his voyage down the
Danube From Rustchuck, it is stated that the
Sultan will journey TO Constantinople by land
via Adranople.
Before leaving Vienna the Sultan made do
nation to the poor OF ten thousand horns, at
the same time transmitting to the Common
Council of the city an enormous number of Pc
titons that had been addressed to him during
The Sultan at Home.
The Sultan entered the Bosphorus on the
morning of the 7th oil August, followed by nearly
sixty steamers which went to the entrance to
Prince Charles.
The ruler of Roumauia paid visit of courtesy
10 the Sultan, at Ratschaek, on August g. cross
ing the Danube, from Bucharest, III the French
steamer Magicien.
The Prince had a long intervew with the Sui.
tan, and was received with great honors.
THE THWA1TEs WILL CASE.
Decision Involving Half a Million stor-
ling IN EngIand-MentHl DelusiOns,
Religious and Every Day.
In the Court of Probate, London, August 6,
Sir j. p. Wilde delivered judgment in the case OF
Smith and others VS.. Tebbltt and others. 1t
will be remembered that the object of the suit
was to establish the validity of the will (which
disposes of nearly half million of property OF
Mrs. Thwaites, late OF Charmandean, Worthing,
and Hyde Park Gardens, London, and the ques-
tion involved was whether certain religious
delusions under which 1t was alleged she had
for years labored were such as to affect her tesla
mentary capacity. After some preliminary ooser
Vations on the definition of delusions, or mono
mania which evidence diseased state of mind
though such delusions exhibit themselves III
reference to one subject only, his lordship pro
ceeded to describe, using the language OF the
witnesses for the purpose, the nature of the
delusions under which 1t was SAID the testatrlA
labored. They consisted in a belief that she wat
on terms of intimacy with the Creator; that she
was the third person of the Trinity; that De
Smith was the Father; that they would bott
assist in the judgment OF the world, which WoulC
take place in her drawingroom; that she had th'
power OF disseminating and controlling disease;
and that, being supernatural, she could never di'
in the ordinary course of nature, although sh'
might suffer from accidents. With respect TO th'
credlbility of the witnesses who deposed to thes'
deluslons, there was no reason, he held, to ques
lion II. Most OF them had no personal lnteres
to serve, and It was impossible to discredlt thei
testimony: That being so, what was to b.
thought OF the delusions TO which they deposed
and which were not limited to conversation
but extended to acts, the testatrix having fur
nished her drawing-rooms at great cost in thu
conviction that she was there to give birth L

tinued his lordship, twill account for much

between her and those whose religion
fervor has made them famous, he proceeded 4
