Foreign Affairs.

LONDON, Jan. S,-The request of the Sublime
Porte for postponement of the conference on
the Eastern question for few days, in order
that time might be gained for instructing the
Turkish representative, has not been acceded
to, and the sessions of the conference will GER
tainly open in Paris tomorrow.
The Sultan has consequently been compelled
to telegraph at length from Constantnople his
instructions to Emil Mohamed Pacha, the
Turkish Ambassador at Paris. There is no
question that part of these instructions are,
that if the discussions in the Conference extend
beyond the Sublime Porte's ultimatum to the
Grecian Government, that the Turkish repre-
sentative shall Immediately withdraw.
The IurQaae, official paper at Constantinople
in its issue OF yesterday, says II the Turkish

The wisdom Of reducing the internal re evenus
tax on distilled spirits is pretty well estao-
lished by the amount received from that source
with the tax at fifty cents per gallon, as COM
pared with the receipts when 1t stood at two
dollars The books OF the Internal Revenue
once show that during the first month after
the reduction there was little or no change as
contrasted with the same month of the previ-
Gus year. but after tha. time the receipts from
mat source ran up TO double the sum formerly
collected, and they have averaged that ratio
ever since-some months standing below, but
generally standing above, twice the amount
reaiized during previous corresponding peri.
DDS Indeed, It is thought that the revenue for
the whole fiscal year with the tax at Il fly cents
per gallon Will considerably more than double
the reee-T's for the last year. when it stood AT
Two doliars. This result will, we apprehend
more than meet the expectations of those most
warmiy IN favor OF the reduction.

The New York World inquiries what has
become OF the large sum of money raised in
that city for the purpose of erecting a monu-
ment to Dir. Lincoln in Union S1uare,-some
$4,000 in amount. This is a pertinent ques-
ton. and ii is time it were answered by the
associations organized for the purpose inoicated
II other places, as well as by that in New
York. Although hundreds of thousands of
dollars have been contributed in different parts
of the country toward building monuments to
1lr. Lincoln, so far, we believe, the only one
yet completed is the one IN front Of the City
Hall in this city, which was built by volunta-
~ contributions by the people of Washington.
