EPORTING INTELLIGENCE. A SPECIAL EDITION of the " EXPRESS," eoetaisiag the teralts of tae day's Races, is pub lished every erasing daring the Sporting Season, it lig o'clock. &ATTU difficulties spring up as fast, and even hater, than negotiation sea settle them. The affairs of ttontensorro and of Candi& have scarcely beim smoothed and pot in a way of arrangement, thew another and a more serious event startles Diplotnacy,and promises to interrupt the Conferences of Paris. These Conferences were actually taking place for the desired and avowed purpose of placing tio dominion' of the SULTAN ander a general European guarantee, and yet at such a moment and with such a negotiation pending in Paris, Toasty sad Austria have concluded a 'swats agreement and allianoe, by which the latter Power engages to send forces into Bosnia in case of any insurrection in that province. This is the old case of Russia and the Principali ties. On the score of contiguity, and of the danger arising to absolute Governments from turbulent,e or agitation on their frontiers, Russia not only marched armies, whenever it plowed, over the Pruth, but obtained tn. forced consent of the Porte to its doing so. It was this which produced the war ; and the war, if it have any result, must have that of finally putting an end to such agreements. The Powers undertake to supersede Russian action upon Turkey by a general and preconcerted action; and yet in the very teeth of this law, which it sought to establish, Austria has concluded a separate agreement with Turkey for the contingent weeps. too of Bosnia. The fact is that Austria is now very openly play ing the mine game which Rusin did of old. Austria guides the acts, and directs the councils of the Porte ; demands and obtains the liberty of interfering in its name in those provinces, which it finally hopes to appropriate. Bosnia is jest es much an object of Austrian ambition ea 'amnesia is of Russian; catering to the ones just as impolitic and unjust II Mitering to the other. Austria is u menacing a neighoo,7 to Turkey as Ramis could be. Up to 1867, indeed, the :sower of Ramis was so preponderant, owing toter fleet in the Black Sea, and to the prestige accruing to her from having recovered Hungary for the Court of Vienna, that Austria, as the weaker Power, rallied to the Ports, and carried on its resistance to Russia under Turkish assigns, as it were, and in the Turkish same. Bet since the war Russia has Naiad to be a naval Power in the Enable. Austria not only oon eiders herself exclusive patron of Bosnia and Berrie, bat dictates her will in Bucharest itself. The agents of Austria predominate, England having put herself under the wing of Count Boot. All this is but a mere shifting of danger, a change of preponderanee, a substitution of one despotism and military power for another in the affairs of the Levant England and France have one interest in their dealings with Turkey, and that is to prevent that empire or its provinces from becoming the prey of either of its great neighbours. Austria sod Russia have precisely oontrary interests. Both wish to eacroach ; both wish to extend their empire sad influence ; and both further their views, sow by in trigues with the Christians, now by socemdmay at the Porte. Both hare the common interest of keep ing, u tar is they are able, the Western POW!. boa meddling with the provinces and the people they hops to influence and annex; and they have admirably attained this end by the clams of the Treaty which prevents all armed vessels frees sitar log tho Block Sea. Eagland has this hoes iodised to trust to Austria as the guardian of those provinces spinet Russia, forgetting that such Powers ran ogres at any mount for their own mutual profit, sail for the disoomature and exclusion of the States of the West. What b meet suspicions in the conduct of Austria Is its throwing obstructions In the way of the Paris Conference coming to any conclusion respecting the Danubian Principalities. Austria ham evidently as little desire as Raisin to see Danubian questions settled imam the seasiboa eoeseat of Europe. Comet Boot, has acted all along with England in this question. But England, although opposing the Union and insisting ea Hospodars, cannot, with any degree cif scasistesey, propose the abolition of soastitutional ginesrassont. Austria oppress the thing and this same, mad is sot satisfied until Moldo- Wallachia be assimilated to Hungary. Owing to this, as well as for other mesons, the Congress of Pans has made no progress i sad this last aid: et Bosnia, for which Sir HENRY Buiwia hie bus hastened to Vienna, has, we may say, aims the map de grace to the Conferences.

The damasks in the Conference on these dons mourned at one time, it is said, a very sei form. When England, supported by Austria Turkey, proposed its plans, the reply of Fr 114 THE EXPRESS, TH URSDAYI N JORN IN G, JII NE yea, that this experiment had al been made of old, and had prshindad its and that if it was now proposed to +peat that' purl:Dent, France would not epponsetsat time it would not approve, er by so ap T i giake •pun itself the responsibility ef • system dille it knew must fail, and lead to great disasters. If France and Russia persisted in holding this language, it walla, we seed not may, amoant to a complete abrogation of the Treaty of Paris, two of the chief Pewees withdrawing from its principal stipulation. Had Lord PAt.ns:•erox remained in power, such probably would has* been the issue of the Conn ferenoes—a total breach—England and Austria guaranteeing the integrity of Turkey, and France and S•ssie altogether withdrawing from that esgeget•ent. The present Administration is, how ever, not so unreservedly Austrian us the last, and evidently aims at bringing the Court. of the Tuileries and Vienna to something of en accord. This is a difficult, and, we believe, an impossible task. And, indeed, it is apparently under the idea that she is losing the unqualified adhesion of England that Austria has gone upon her own hook to conclude these unfortunate hole-and-corner treaties with Turkey for the military occupation of Bosnia. Into inch an inextricable labyrinth has our policy been led by want of a straightforward, resolute purpose. The future fate and condition of the Danu bian provinces should have been decided by England and France, counselling their ally, Turkey, &her the fall of Sebastopol. Lord PALIMLNTON should bane stack out, not for the beggarly village of Bol grad, bat for that half of Bessarabia which Russia soosented to esde at Vienna. That would have removed Jassy from the line of the Russi►n frontier, and would have formed a Principality ander the Scuras's suzerainty that Russia and Austria must have been made to respect in their own interests as well as in the interests of Europe. Instead of such straightforwar d and =lily policy, we first went to war, and after having conquered, we invited those whom we had defeated, and those who would not help us, to participate in the settle ment. Of comae they have made use of the liberty given them to render all settlement impossible, and to leave things in a still more unsatisfactory state than they were in before the war. We are glad to see that, however complicated these Levantine questions may be by the events of Bosnia, the insurrection of Candies is likely to terminate. The Turks, however, are likely to give trouble, as we see from the outrage upon the British Consul at Belgrade. In the whole of Servia there is bat this handful of Turks who garrison the citadel of Belgrade. Their isolation amongst the Christians only increases their fanaticism, and ae their ignorance is such that they do not know Mend from foe, and could not dis tinguish between Englishmen and Russians, we see the result. No good can come of litussalman gar risons in Christian countries except to breed mutual exasperation and provoke mutual 'laughter. Tar overwhelming majority by which the lions. of Commons, on Tuesday night, affirmed Lord Hcrraam's motion, sufficiently indicated a prevailing sense, on the part of that Assembly, that something was wrong, and a firm determination that that some thing ought as promptly and effectually as possible to be set right• The value of the result consists principally in this. The mere terms of the Resolu tion are less important than the fact that a fteeoletims of each a kind should have been passed with so near q approach to unanimity. Lord Hcrrasst deserves the thanks of the public and the House for having tarnished the opportunity for so salutary and decisive an expression of opinion. It is a mistake to suppose that such a proceeding will be without result; it will signally tend to discountenance and die. mange practices which everybody currently talks of, and nobody can categorically prove. Doss any one really doubt the existence of the par- Hadar practice against which Lord Harasses motion is more especially directed ? Can any one moderately conversant with the world sad its ways hesitate to believe that Barristers is Parliament have been repeatedly retained as advocates, on the tacit uaderstanding that they should support in the Home as representatives the cause in which they harebell feed WA Counsel? Was Mr. 'ASOIIOIEI6 right or wrong when he affirmed the existence of " a growing belief that the legal Members might " with propriety, after having been more or less " professionally concerned in eases, bring them for " ward in that Home ?" Was be right or wrong when he declared that " to such a practice as that e complete atop ought to be put ?" The answer was given with sufficient clearness by the general cheers that followed this declaration, and with still more emphasis by the majority that recorded their votes ea the division. If people still like to be incredulous on the point —if they choose to insist on proofs and names—they are, of nurse, at liberty to indulge in all the ex cesses of a whimsical optimism. You cannot deal with than whose mental obliquity, or whose mc lute obtuseness, prevents them from recognising the distinction between that moral or mathematical cer tainty, which may fairly be demanded by a geometer at a judge, and that reasonable probability on which legislators are required to reason and to act. The House of Commons has not been diverted from its duty by any fallacy of this kind. It has protected its reputation by solemnly desouncing a practice the very suspicion of whose existence was dishonouring to the integ rity of a numerous and indeential portion of its Members. It is difficult to see why the legal Mem bers should be scandalised at nch a result. Nobody supposes that, as a body, they approve of the practice which the Rosebetion cesdemens. Mr. Warnsios was perfectly right. The Resolution is no impeach- ' spent against the legal profession. It simply eon donne an irregular practice, of which certain mem ber* of that profession have been notoriously guilty, and which very hw, if any, amongst then would ven ture publicly to defend.Th e Resolution merely declares that no Malabar shall promote a measure sea legislator which he Mrs teen previously hired to support as an advocate. It merely prohibits a -Member of the Renee from doing indirectly what nobody for a assent pretends he could do directly. If the legal Members feel aggrieved because the Resolution 11.111111111011 the existence of a practice dishonouring to the yrefonon, they have only themselves to blame flar the malt. Why did they not in their legal imeneity do more to discourage and put down, by the boasted etiquette of the Bar, a practice which the Hone la its legislative capacity has felt it necessary to chmosnee ? This grievance of the lawyers may in truth be re garded GO purely imaginary. " The tears lie in an " onion that should water that sorrow."

Not less than thirty thousand people, we were told, were present ; and not only was the central transept, where the °omen took place, densely crowded., but hundreds and thousands, who could not get within hearing of the music, wandered in gay groups over every part of the Pekoe and the beautiful grounds. end seemed very well pleased with their amusement.

It rallied a little after wards, but closed with a fall of 16e. and 100. at 87fr. 86c. and 67fr. 80c. Mobilier, after falling to 696fr.,reoovered to yesterday's closing prior, 807 fr. 60c. A good many speculative purchases were made in several railway lines, but with the exception of Northern, which rose 2fr. 60c., all the principal ones sustained a turther tall of from 2fr. 60c. to 6fr. Nothing certain is known as to the state of the ne gotiations between the companies and the govern ment. It is asserted, however, that a special com mission is sitting to consider the various plans pro posed, and that a decision will be come to as soon as M. Magee, the Finance Minister, returns to Paris. There were disquieting reports at the Bourse to day relative to the Paris Conferences, which many people think will not lead to anything. Fuad Pacha's sore throat is thought to be only a diplo matic malady, and it is considered that General Espinsase's mission to the Herzegovina, Bosnia, and Servia, will aggravate the bad feeling which exists between France and Austria. The Cottatitutionnel, in a correspondence from Constantinople of June 11, reports a fact in reference to the piercing of the Isthmus of Suez, which is very important if true. This letter asserts that when Lord Derby's government came into power the Sultan, who had always wished to grant the firman for M. Lampe' project, hoped that the violent op position of Lord Palmerston, who had threatened him with the eternal enmity of England if he gave his consent to it, would be withdrawn. A despatch was sent to London through M. Musurus, the Turkish ambassador, informing Lord Malmesbury that the Porte did not wish to act in the matter without the knowledge (di tines) of the English government, and desiring to know the opinion of the new ministry. Lord Malmesbury replied that he and his colleagues shared the opinion of their predecessors, and that he had remarked with plea sure in the communication from the Porte the assurance that it would take no step in the affair without the consent of England. This answer of Lord Malmesbury produced great surprise at Constantinople, and orders were at once sent to M. Mourns to inform the English minister that although out of deference to an ally the Porte had said that it did not wish to act without the knowledge of England, it never intended to fetter its own freedom of action, or to make the question of the Isthmus of Suez dependent upon the consent of the English Cabinet. A Copenhagen letter, of June 18, positively con tradicts the assertion of a Belgian journal that the Cabinet of the Tuileries has recently sent a note recommending the Danish government to make further concessions to the Germanic Diet. The Paisie has a leading article warmly approving the conduct of Denmark and blaming the obstinacy of the Federal Assembly, in making no account of the conciliatory views of the Cabinet of Copenhagen, "strong in its right and confident in its alliances." The Governor of Cayenne has issued • scale of differential duties on conveyances of reel property, tee unfairness of which is complained of both by the ' Debate and the Slide. These duties bear very heavily on small parcels of land, and go on decreas ing (proportionably) the greater the quantity pur chased. For inatanoe, on the purchase of a single hectare of land only, and from that to 5 hectares, the duty is 100 fr. ; but for 30 hectares and upwards it is only 400 fr. 400 fr. is the maximum, however large the estate conveyed. "Such a system." says the &Me, "is not in accordance with our laws and habits; it is progressive taxation in an inverse ratio, weighing heavily on small properties, and becoming lighter and lighter in proportion to the amount of the pur chase money." The object of this measure is to check the emancipation of the slaves which the French government is importing from Africa, by making it difficult for them to acquire land. TheConatifutionnel states that Marshal Hendon, Governor-General of Algeria, has been summoned to Paris by electric telegraph. The Memorial de Lille says that Lieutenants Conrtiel, Roe, and Hyenne will shortly be tried by one of the two permanent courts-martial of the 3rd military divison sitting at Lille, for the part they took in the duel with M. de Pine. This news is, 1 believe, true, and I understand that M. Le6n Duval, of the Paris bar, has been retained to defend Lieute nant Hyenne. People say in Paris that the court martial will only treater due couroanee for the officers. We shall see. The dismissal of General Eapinesse may possibly sake a differenee in the malt. A major in the French army, named Michaud, commanding the recruiting depot of the department of the Herault, wu arrested at Montpellier, on June 21, on a charge of embezzlement. The circumstance created a very painful sensation at Montpellier, where the accused wu well known. The elections for councillors general and coun cillors of arrondissement, in the numerous owes in which the first ballot of June 12 and 13 was void for want of the legal minimum of votes, were repeated on the 20th and 21st. You are aware that on a second election a bare majority suffices to return al candidate although he may not obtain either the absolute majority of all the votes polled, or the votes of a full quarter of the constituency. The electors generally have shown themselves quite as apathetic about the exercise of their electoral rights on this second occasion as they were on the first. The Journal du Havre states that in the southern canton of that town out of 6,019 registered electors only 423 voted ; of these 420 voted for the govern meat candidate, who is thus duly returned by less than 1-12th of the constituency. At Lyons out of eight elections two were carried by opposition candidates. At Bordeaux, M. Cure, the opposition member of the Corps Legislatif, bas been elected a The French journals make no comment as yet upon the acquittal of MM. Truelove and Tchorsewski. The Minister of Marine will in a few days set out for Cherbourg, to superintend the preparations to be made at that port for the reception of the Emperor and Empress. SPAIN. MADRID, Jose 22.

There has been a disturbance at Zahleh since my last, which is likely to be talked of on both sides of the Atlantic. Zahleh, I must tell you, is the largest town in Mount Lebanon, and with its suburb, Mafinakah, contains about 10,000 inhabitants. It is situated on the east slopelof i t* rull4 just above the plain of the Bukia, and ilia Want - 114m Beyrout a day's journey of tight hours, or about half-way between this and Damascus. It is considered the headquarters of Romanism in this place, the people priding themselves upon being all members of either the Latin or the Greek Catholic churches. The Jesuits—all Frenchmen—have a large establishment in the place; and the 'Greek Catholics—that is, the members of the Greek Church who are in communion with Rome—have a. Bishop, a large convent, and numerous priests in the town. Some six months ago an American missionary of the Presby- I terian church took up his residence at Zahleh, with the intention of learning the Arabic language, and also of seeing whether, in time, schools could not be established in the place. The people themselves were glad to see this gentleman, as all over Syria the American schools have a first-rate name ; but the priests were all exceedingly angry at his presump tion fur coming amongst their frock, and several times wrote him letters warning him to leave the place. The missionary—whose name, by the way, is Dod—replied that he was in his own nght in living where he liked, that he was not aware of having given anybody any offence • and that with all due deference to th e indignant eeelesiutics, he would remain where he was. For a time he was left unmolested; but upon his con cluding a bargain for the hire of a house, which he engaged for a term of seven years, the storm burst out again. One of the chief Greek Catholic priests visited him at the small hotel where he was living, and said, that unless he took his de parture forthwith the people of the town would rise, and stone him out of the place. Mr. Dod answered, that he did not think that likely, for the inhabitants of Zahleh had always shown themselves kind to wards him. A few days afterwards (only a fort night ago), some ten or a dozen of the same order of priests, together with one of the French Jesuits, came to his house, and brought with them mules, upon which they said he must pack up his baggage and be off. They were not accompanied by any of the townspeople ; but they said they were acting under the orders of the Bishop. Mr. Dod said to them that if forced to go he could not help himself, but declared he would never move from what he considered his post of duty of his own accord. Upon this, these gentle ministers of the gospel, with their own sacred hands, threw out of the windows all his books, clothes, and furniture • as also all that belonged to his wife and child—the latter an infant in arms. The French Jesuit took no active part in the proceedings ; but he did not pre vent-which he might have done by a word, as the native priests in Syria have the greatest fear and re verence for all European monks, and more particu larly for those of his order—the others acting u they did. The woman—an old Italian, who keeps the small ins at Zahleh where Mr. Dod was living —remonstrated with these holy ruffians for treating her lodger as they did ' but all she made by her move was to be beaten by them very severely. They were then proceeding to eject Mr. Dod and his wife ; but as the former did not wish to expose a lady to the hands of these fellows, he volunteered to move off at once. On ei would have thought that in a lonely far-off place like Zahleh, and, above all, ander the circumstances I have mentioned, an establishment composed of Euro pean men of education, more particularly men who profess to be ministers of the Gospel, and who call their older by the name of our common Saviour, would have offered Mr. Dod some assistance, some shelter, at least until he could make arrangements for his departure. But not so. The Jesuits of the place never so much as made him the slightest offer of assistance in auy way whatever, and under a burning Syrian sun, at a moment's notice, was this gentleman obliged to move off over the mountains with his wife and young child on a journey of eight hours, to the house of a brother missionary who lives at Bhamdoon. It is but just to the Turkish authorities to say that they are not to blame for this outrage. Zahleh has loog been in a sort of passive rebellion against the Pacha, and his paid no taxes for two years. In fact, the people of the place do very much as they like, and the only persons who have any command over them are the pnests and monks of the town. The incident I have related seems to prove that there is much truth in what many resident' in this country assert, vie. that where the Christians possess power in Asia, th ey are to the full as tyn mike', bigoted, and bloodthirsty is the Moslems have ever shown themselves to be. Mr. Dod, as a matter of course, could not allow the matter to drop. After taking hia family to Bhamdoon, he came on to Beyrout, and reported the cue to Mr. Moore, the English • Consul-General, who is acting as American Consul, there having been no consul for the United States in Beyront for some time put. Mr. Moore has taken up the matter with great spirit, and through the Puha of Beyrout husent an order to Zahleh for the chief Sheiks of the place to proceed to Bhamdoon and escort Mr. Dod back to their town, making them responsible that he will not be ill-treated or molested for the future. To this the Sheiks have agreed, urging that they had nothing whatever to do with the outrage, which was the work of the priests, and of them alone. But I ques tion much whether the affair will be allowed to re main in statu quo. Brother Jonathan is not the man to allow his fellow-countrymen to be insulted with impunity.
