warlike Scenes.
A correspondent of the London Chron-
iclc gives an animated account of the ap-
pearaiice of the-Bosphorus at me present
juncture. To -those who are familiar
with the scene, the passage is highly in-
teresting : ‘ '
“The Bospliorus never was
of vessels are lying there waiting for a
south wind to sail up to the Black Sea,
and load corn at Odessa. The appear-
ance of the Bosphorus is peculiarly inte-r-
esling at this time, owing to the warlike
prcparatiolis set on foot by the Govern-
ment. At the entrance of the Golden
Horn, there lie anchored ships of every
nation, Britishand French war steamers
and frigates, an American brig, a llussiaii
steamer, a Dutch steamer---tlie moving
watch towers of the North. As you
proceed up the brilliant stream, every
liiru briiigs you to new scenes of active
iiil.ercs.l.. From leaving Constantinople,
up to Jeuikni, Turkish steam frigatcs'.'iiid
Corvettes dot the waters. On turning
the curve near Tlierapia, the green tents
of the Egyptiiin army on the lieigli.'.siie:ir
the GianL’s Mountain rise to view,
w-liilsl. l.hc bay of Buyukdere discloses the
Ottoman fleet which stretclies across the
whole leiigtli of the inhabited portion of
the European coast, upto the enirance of
the Black Scrr These monstrous ships
give the scene (1 warlike aspect, well in
keeping with the numerous _forts., bri:-:t-
ling wil.li artillery, that line both the As-‘
iatic and European coast at tliat,poinl;;'
Lind the cliarming scenery combines to
render the general effect as admirable as
it is iiiterestliig.
The ]lI(l«/I77Z02f(ZI,’,~_flZ‘tg-Slllp of.the admi-
ral, carries one hundred and twenty-six
guns, and is in every respect as are also
the rest of the fleet, superiorly equipped
The Turkish: artillerymen are excellent.
A British naval officer expressed his as-
tonisliiuent to me at their precision in fi-
ring‘. regarding the 2 crews, all that
obedielit, and competent to fulfill the=du-
ties that may fall to them,‘ namely, the
defence of the entrance to the Bosphorus
but they are not sailors, in the English
expected to be so? -No Turkish sliip_
cruisers fortlrto the Atlantic. It is only
by crossing the seas, or by contending
with the element they live on, that sail‘
ors are made. The Turks are very good
sea-soldier's; it. cannot, -however,’ be dis-
guised that sailors-they are not.‘
The Greeks are the seamen of Levant.
None are,-however, to be found on board
Turkish men-of-war, as the Porte canno;
trust them. Considering the «annihila-
tion Of the Turkish fleet at Navarj1]o, and
the subsequent prostration of Ottoman
seamanship, the immense fleet that has
bccli equipped and ably organized by
Turkey is matter ofastonislinient. Since
the rupture with Russia, wonders have
been raised and equipped, and is at this
moment on the banks of the Danube,
panting for the contest.”

these dispatches, early in the Spring, a

should not have been liberated from the

A Case of Hydropliobia.
A little girl, daughter of '\VillZ-aiii R.
Hills, of East Hartford, some six miles
from this city, was bitten by a dog of
that neighborhood, in August last in four
or five places in the, arms, though the
wounds were sliglit. No one supposed
tire dog to be rabid before this occurrence ;
but fearing he might be was at once kil-
led. The little girl, showed no symptoms

Lorenzo I/Valker, for many years a car,
man in this city, was found dead yester-
day (Thursday_) morning in a bani in Tal-
_Cf)l.l;_S,tl‘.eel near Front, He probably (lied
in ll. fit, as he has of late been addicted
to itit_ein_pei'_ance. An inquest was held
on his body, and the verdict was in accor-
dance with this suggestion. After the
_inque_s_t, a rough box was procured, and
hisjbody, without being prepared in a de-
cent manner, was placed in ‘it, and but-
ied_ii1,the. clothes, b_oot._e_, &,c,, just as he
was found. . Such treatment of the dead

complaints of the treatment baggage re-

are t.hrown'out of the cars with as little
care or regard as though they were made
of solid iron. The consequence is, al-
