The document was read in the Council-hall of the palace on the 21 st ult . A great crowd assembled outside the building , among whom , when tlie ceremony was over , copies of the firman were distributed in Turkish . It will be translated into all the languages of the Empire , and distributed through the provinces . The decree states that Europeans will have a right to possess landed property ; that , as regards civil rights , there will be a
complete equality between Mussulmans and Christians .

The clergy will receive , a fixed stipend , and the Church property of each denomination will be managed by an assembly composed of persons of that religion . There will be mixed tribunals . Education will be free , but under the surveillance of mixed commissions . Other reforms are announced , as , for instance , the right granted to provincial and communal councils to take the initiative va . grants for public works ; as also the establishment of banks , in order to regularise the monetary system of the empire .

IRELAND . The Ibish Judicial Bbnob . —The High Sheriff and Grand Jtiry of the county of Longford have sent aiddresses to the three judges , Penrrefather , Torrens , and Lefroy , whose alleged incapacity for their office aix account of age and infirmities , was brought before the notice of the House of Commons by Sir John Shelley . The object of these address was to sympathise with the judges and to express undiminished confidence in their intellectual powers . The Tipperary Bank- —The wide-spread ruin which must inevitably ensue from tie collapse of this Bank -continues to "be the one absorbing topic of conversation in Ireland . Mr . James Sadleir , the suicide ' s brother , is 'greatly pitied , aa he has been completely beggared . All the shareholders in the bank , moreover , are liable to an utter annihilation of their worldly fortunes . Under the Joint-Stock Act , each shareholder will not only lose the amount of his individual share , but will be made liable , to an unlimited extent , for he debts of the concern . Even "those who have x-etired-from the bank—unless they have done so for three years—are still liable . Messrs . John Masaey , Thomas Dwyer , and William Chachvick , who are professionally employed for a large body of the creditors , have issued a circular ,, calling a meeting of depositors and creditors , to consider-what steps shall be taken by the general body of ihe creditors . In a-eference to this circular , Messrs .-Morrogh and
Kenmedy , solicitors , have published a statement of the a-easoh why they caused a petition t 6 be presented -to ; -the Court of Chancery . They write : — "Our object is simply to place the banking company under the operation of the Wiriding-up Acts , which afford remedies applicable to the English shareholders , as well as thoBe resident in Ireland ,- the former constituting the majority ; and the orders of the Irish Court of Chancery being capable of enforcement by the English Court to compel payment of calls aufficient in amount to discharge all obligations of the bank , just as if made directly by the latter Court . " One of : the Masters in Chancery will have the exclusive management of the winding-up of the affair . The Dublin Evening Mail
- —a bitter opponent of the late Sir Bqbert Peelgives that statesman great credit for his foresight in setting a limit to banks of issue in Ireland : except for whioh Sadleir would probably have issued notes to any extent he desired , arid would thus have caused even greater ruin than that which has really ensued . —The Master of the Rolls ( Ireland ) has declared that the Tipperary Bank shall be wound iip and dissolved . His Honourj who said that the fraud was of a character so gigantic that no living feeing had ever seen the like 3 read extracts from the report issued by the bank to the shareholders at a meeting held , on the 1 st of February , 1856 , in which it was stated that the
assets of the company were equal to £ 100 , 000 , whereas it appeared to him that those assets would jaot exceed ¦ £ 35 ,-000 ; that Mr . James Sadleir , the sole manager and director , had permitted his brother , the late John Sadleir , to overdraw £ 200 , 000 , by which the bank had become a defaulter to the amount of £ 400 , 000 , while at that very period , on the 1 st of February last , Mr . James Sadleir declared the payment of a dividend at the rate of 6 per cent ., and a bonus of 3 per cent , to the shareholders , carrying over £ 3 , 000 and upwards , to the reserved fund , whioh was represented to be £ 17 , 000 , and further representing the bank to be in a ftourishinc state .
