SEssioNs—rudgeAllison.—The case of Edward Simons, charged with the murder of Bernard Kane, in October last, was heard of habeas cUrpus, in order to have the accused admitted to bail. It - will be re membered that the murder occurred• on. the Passyunk road, near the prison, the de ceased-being shot by the accused. It was alleged that although the pistol was dis charged by Simons he did not intend to shoot any one, and as the deceased was standing fifteen feet away, there was no intent to injure him. ' Held under adVise•- ment. We learn by • recent advices from Con stantinople, that AzoP Effendi,'' who, for the past , thirty . years, filled the post of Beeretaire Intiae, or "Counsellor of State,7= to the Turkish Embassy in Paris,having recently, 4lied, the vacant pest as been proffered to , Mr. Oscanyan.' The Porte, could not have made a'better appointment; for Mr. Oscanyan is doubtless eminently qualified for the position. The reforma- tory measures for the regeneration of. Turkey as laid' down in Mr. Oscanyan's work, entitled the "Sultan and his People," have many of them been adopted by - .the, Turkish government and are being strenu ously carried out 'as, we perceive by,: ,the official reports of Mr. E.

After a prosperOus reignof seven or eight years Mr. Evans 'came to grief,' as ,the saying is. He had been -. robbed on all sides—plundered ; to a vast extent. One of his employes, his confidential clerk, built half a street with money, which, he eventu ally confessed, he had abstracted from letters address to Mr. Evans, and received by mail. Mr. Evans could have stood this but the war obliged him to close seven of his branch offices in the South, by which he was a heavy loser. "Mr. Evans has manfully struggled since his business eclipse ; latterly as agent for the Florence sewing machines. , He ha., just recommenced his old gift book businerm, ad vertising liberally (which was the secret of his former success), and is likely to make a fortune again."—Philadelphia Correspon dent of N. l.

THE _Tricorns TAX Lurr.—Whatever dif ference of opinion may exist as to the propriety of the publication of the list of incomes, still, when published, it , furnishes a very interesting and readable description of literature.

The whole has been put together in tuseat book which is for sale by T. B. Peterson it Brothers, Chestnut street, above Third.
