Ali Bey el As gard has been appointed to the Pachalik of Tripvti. This is a happy event for that province. The Ansanes return to their duty, and the inhabitants of Latakia who have emigrated, come home again. Troubles have broken out in Lebanon ! most of the inhabitants, supported by three Emirs, have risen against Emir Bechir, and will not acknowledge him for their Governor. The Sheik Bekir supports this insurrection. The two parties have fought : it is said that Sheik Bekir has been de feated, and that several of his partisans have perished. A letter from Bagdad of the 30th Dec. states, that news had been received from Bassorah of the capture of Peya by the English ; but no details were given. According to the same letter, the malady of Bassorah, confounded with the cholera markt*, had rad= Abated. _ The Seventh Lecture of Dr. Spurzheim on the science of Phre nology, was opened with a general recapitulation of the con tents of the six preceding lectures. He was particularly desirous of impressing upon the auditory that he was as yet treating only of the fundamental powers of the mind in themselves considered, and not of their application. At present they were only learning the mere rudiments of Phrenological science. In subsequent lectures he would explain how these power', acting in combination, mute ally influenced and controlled arh other. At present he was as le were simply teaching the letters of the alphabet. He had already gone through the powers, of which the organs were manifested in the occipital region. Hie future lectures would relate to the upper and frontal parte of the head. He had before called their at. tention to the difference of shape in the heads of individuals and nations. In the English generally, the greater mar of brain was behind ; in the French, the greater mass was in accordedwell = with tits fundamental which he had adverted was that of love of approbation. „ th at e jo u4pe * ! ha r r et t i : o e n t. ; of . an es d ch this peo p d l i e ff . eren o ce ne sons were desirous of being constantly °heaved. Rather dd .. be noticed, the , would commit errors to draw upon them the lie attent on. he place of this organ he had already stated. desire to acquire depended in like manner on the development es Particular part of the cerebral mass. Where it was too large, the individual would be disposed to steal, or obtain what be desired by fraudulent and dishonourable means. On this faculty chiefly corn. merce was founded, but rot upon it alone. It was observed that there were some individuals who reflected steadily on the subjects that came before them, and then made up their minds decidedly with respect to them, while other individuals could ne. ver decide in any respect whatever. Some persons were always so timorous and doubtful, that they felt it impossible to determine of they should act, and were swayed by every suggestion anelx. sentation made to them. The less toned the head was the more decisive the character of the individual. The sewn el' cautiousness was situated in the midst of the parietal buses, and whereverit was largely develqed, it was in vain to expect the in dividual to adopt any immediate or fixed resolution. There were nations known for their cautiousness, and in them this organ was always found fully developed. In women it was generally very large. Nature had given them stronger feelings in many respects than men, and it would be observed on examination, that this organ was usually very broad in proportion to the whole Sift of their heads. Gmerally men's heads were broader laterally, but in this particular women's were commonly larger. In animals • similar difference might be observed. Sonic acted by immediate impulse, others with circumspection. The fox, prompted by his faculty of secretiveness, ran away the moment he was roused, and endeavoured to hide himself. Careful animals, those who looked about them before they deckled how to act, were invariably broader in this part of the head. In proof of this statement, the Professor showed several skulls; those of the chamois and roe, which, as cautious animals, were broad : those of the hyena and wolf were ionately narrow. Where this faculty was toe much develo the individual became timid and fcart u l. After proportionately some other o bservations on the other faculties, on which he had descanted in his previous lectures, the Professor observed, that all these propensities were common to men and animals. lie had cot yet arrived at those sentiments which peculiarly distinguished the human character. Of those faculties through which he had already passed, however, he would remark, that they were not all given to any animal together. Some animals had tome of these faculties, but they always existed in a more isolated and less active state. Horses and doge were animated by the lore of approbation. They obviously liked to be flattered. This was with them as with man, a fundamental feeling, modified, however, in its operation, accord ing to the combination of other feelings. In the present Lecture, the subject of consideration would be the upper region of the head, a part which was deserving of all the attention phrenologists could bestow upon it. Dividing the head by a horizontal line through die middle of the forehead, it would be found that the far greater portion of mankind had the basis larger than the upper part of the head. In the inferior portion, the faculties of combativeness, destructiveness, acquisitiveness, and others of that kind, were de. veloped ; and the more amiable faculties in the superior regon. It was not desirable, however, for an individual to have the inferior powers too small in their development, because it was only from their fulness that energy resulted. The Professor now approached what he stated to be the most interesting and difficult part of his subject. It was a doctrine of Phrenology that the moral and religious feelings depended on the cerebral parts. Lavater had observed that a peculiar confinmation of the hod belonged to persons eminent for their piety. The organ of veneration, as It was called in the Phrenological Nomenclature, was situa(ed in the centre of the upper region of the head. Artists had always represented saints and other pious people remarkable for the elevation of this part. The head of our Saviour was so depicted, while that of Judas was equally noticeable on account of its depres sion. Any individual, however unskilled in Phrenology, would say at o el that a highly raised head was preferable toalow and flu one. But it should not be merely elevated in the centre, but in the circumference also. In the opinion of the Phrenologists, the larger the surface of the organ the more strongly did die faculty prevail. If it were objected that moral and religious feelings could not be . connected with the development of particular parts of the cersiosk mass, he begged the objectors to pause and consider the cosine pursued by the Phrenologist. He did not invent, or create, or imagine, what was not actually in existence. Ile only observed facts, and called upon others to examine as rigidly as they pleased the inferences he drew from those facts. He tried to discover what existed. by patient and sedulous investigation. Acting on these principles, he concluded that man was by nature a moral and re ligious being. He did not speak of any detemlinate application of the moral and religious faculties of man, but simply cf them as fundamental feelings, disposing him generally to moral and rah pious conduct. It was formerly an opinion, that Phrenology was dangerous to religion; but it was evident that no truth could be adverse to the cause of true religion, and in the science of Phan°. logy no particular religion was considered. All that was affirmed was, thee some men were more disposed to be religious than others, and that to the manifestation of this disposition certain parts of the cerebral mass were destined. Some individuals might be destitute of all religious feeling, and yet have this organ fully developed ; but in these casts, the result was owing to the controll ing influence of other faculties. Some metaphysical philosophers had roundly denied that man was naturally disposed to be religious. But how had these individuals proceeded to philosophise ? They had shut themselves up for the purpose of self-contemplation, and considering all mankind to resemble themselves, had inferred that in whatever respect they were deficient all other men must be equally wanting. This mode of reasoning the Phrenologist con. sidered radically vicious. He conterled, that in all mankind a religious feeling move or less strong existed. Again, be repeated, lest he should be misunderstood, that he alluded to no determinate religion. He meant only, that all men were disposed to re ceive instruction in those duties which were termed moral and reli gious. The Professor then discriminated between these sentiments. He called moral such powers of the mind as guided the action of men relative to their neighbours and others surrounding and con nected with them. He called religious such powers of the mind as induced men to seek for communication with supernatural beings. Every day the difference was seen in this reepect between men. Some lived constantly in the fear of God, and in obedience to the Divine Commandments. Others paid no attention to good works. and relied exclusively for salvation on their faith. In chil. I dren the same difference existed in degree. Some were inclined to believe the religious doctrines they were taught, while others disre garded all they heard, and attended only to the impulses of their appetite. Now in animals there was no religious sentiment a hat ever, but they had some feelings analagous to morality. Strong attachments existed among them : they would die for their young. Dogs had been known to perish through grief on the grave ofa beloved master. But no action had ever been observed amongst them which could warrens the conclusion that they had any idea of , communication with the Supreme Being. They evince some tinge of morality in their conduct, but never any of religion. In some domestic animals there was evidently a great deal of benevolence. The temper of dogs and horses was well known to differ widely. In those that were benevolent. the upper part of the forehead was always more developed. The Professor exhibited several skulls of different species in illustration of the fact. In the human race, the dif ference of temper was much more observed. Some were emphatically called good-bearted. Experience had 'hewn that there were indivi. duals who would sacrifice anything they bad fur the relief ofeufferers. No trouble or danger would deter diem from works of beneficence. In all these instances the organ of Benevolence was fully developed. In the cruel and selfish egotist it would be found invariably de. pressed. It was gratifying, the Professor remarked, to know that this benevolent feeling existed to a great extent among mankind. In all countries there were many individuals the chief delight of whose existence was the pleasure of doing good. Some children would give away all they fiad to those who wanted it, while others would grasp at every thing, and retain it, howsoever they might be solicited to part with it. Again he repeated, that every individual had the genie faculties. The only difference was, that in some they were proportionably developed. In the greatest cri. tninals, benevolence exulted. There had been robbers who would never plunder the poor. Some would only steal from churches. In these the organ of veneration vise (laicism. But wherever the or. gan of benevolence was fully developed, it might be predicted with certainty that the individual abounded in all the kindlier feelings of our nature. The Professor concluded with giving a general view of the subjects of which he should treat in his next Lecture. COCKS ON SATURDAY.

With so fickle a sove reign as FERPIN•ND it is of Cairn impssiW to conjec ture how far these reports may be well-fouaded. If they should prove correct, the result of the negotiation will be still further deis,red• But it is certainly true, that when the last adyione left Madrid, the terms of which Mr. Goa -1 GOAT was the bearer, were still under consideration by the Spanish Ministry. The illness of the Xing of SrRIN has also had the effect of retarding the progress of the nego elation. The 'Times, in its article on this subject on Friday, thought fit, in order to explain why the dismissal of Bomar should put an end to a negotiation, which, in the very same article, it also, for the sake of consistency, re asserted very positively had never been commenced, to state that M. GREGORIE (as we really know not why it styled the gentleman now in Madrid) had married the sister of M. Ua*ass's wife. The passage is worth quoting in the original words:—" M. Gasoo ais is, we believe, the brother-in-law of the Minister UG•RT , those Gentlemen having married two sis ters." In the other passages of the article, Mr. GRE GORY is positively called " the relation of M. UQAST!," and of his relationship to UoAllTa there could be no doubt, if he had, indeed, married M. Uoaars's wife's sister; but this fact is as entirely groundless as all the others which the Times has published with respect to this transaction. Mr. GREGORY iS not married at all, nor in anyway connected by the ties of consanguinity or marriage with M. UOARTE. The story of " the Minister and his relation," who were endeavouring to make " half a million sterling" by the loan, which a short time ago the Times said was to be only five millions altogether in amount, is just as true as the information brought by the courier on this day fortnight, " confirming almost to the letter" the previous statement, that FI/DINAND would not allow as much for the bonds as the value of the paper on which they were printed. Both statements are equally true ; that is to say, plainly speaking, there is not a word of truth in either. ------- The Greek cruisers continue to hover about the coasts of Syria. TRIBISONDE, JAW.

There is more talk that ever of a change of Ministers, but it doe' not seem likely that M. Zee will lose his place, for it is certain that if he had not assisted in the overthrow of Ugarte, the latter would be still in favour. However, it is reported in the palace, that the Count de Casa Fiore: will succeed M. Zea, and that an express has been sent to order him to set out for 31adrid irnme distely. It is thought that M. Salazar, the Minister of Marine, will retain his post, but that M. Superintendent of the Council of Camille, will be replaced by M. Marin, or M. Arjons, Members of the Council. TURIN, MARCH 24. Our Court received, some time ago, from the Emperor of Austria, an invitation, similar to those sent to the King of Naples and other Sovereigns of Italy, to go to Milan during the Emperor's visit to that city. Such an invitation has more the air of a protectorate, or supremacy, for the kind of humiliation attached to it net to de velope the germs of discontent which has been long concentrated. The answer of the King of Naples, brother to our Queen, is a proof of it. The Duke of Modena and Tuscany, and the Prince of Lucca and Piombino, will not hesitate to *hew their obedience, and re. pair to the rendezvous. They are too sensible of their relative weakness, and too accustomed to consider 31ilan as the capital from which, like Governors of provinces, they have to expect orders : but It may be foreseen, that if the geographical situation of Piedmont with respect to Lombardy will not allow the King of Sardinia publicly to follow the example of the King pf Naples, he will not shew too ready a compliance, and will even, if occasion offers, maintain the dignified and independent character suitable to the natural pride of a little nation, which has always been distinguished by Its martial spirit. It must be remembered that this people can recal in ill fortune the counsel given by our immortal Alhere, of the family of his Majesty's Ambassador at present at Paris— " Siam 'nein, ma serve ognorlfrementi." This people, the natural guardians of the Alps, have every reason to fear the preponderance of Austria, from which they have all to fear, and seek the friendship of France, which cannot give them any uneasiness.

CITY, liisrosnar EVENING. The Markets were nearly deserted this morning; the speculators being mostly absent from town in consequence of the Easter holidays and the fine weather. The English Market was steady, Consols being the same as on Thurs day, 934 3 for the April account, and 934 for money. In the Foreign Market there was no bustle. The agita tion of the.settlinF-day has completely subsided. A per son who was deficient in his payments has withdrawn, but the greatest part of the Stock receipts, &c. have been re covered. The price of Brazil Scrip has considerably im proved. It reached 3in the course of the day. The cause assigned for this advance is the report that favourable accounts relative to the recognition of the independence of Brazil have been received by the Lisbon mail this morn ing. We have seen several private letters, dated the 12th March, which came by the packet, but they contain no political news. We should rather suspect that it is in an ticipation of what may be daily looked for, rather than any actual advices on the subject. In the early part of the morning South American Securities rather advanced; but they afterwards retrograded. Colombian Bonds were done at 904 3 90; Mexican Scrip I/ 1 to 4; Danish Scrip was Ito 1 discount. Greek Scrip was very buoyant—there were buyers at 44 discount.

The oppressive domination of the Austrian Court over Italy aeons to be arousing a just spirit of dis content among the inferior Powers, who regard the invita tion of the Emperor to meet him at Milan as the haughty requisition of a lord paramount, exacting the personal ho mage of the princes in subjection to him. The King of SAN- Dr N I a, if he be afraid to follow the example of his brother of NAPLES, from which the geographical position of his dominions will probably deter him. is disposed at least to manifest his reluctance to submit to the required degtada lion. The inferior Princes of Italy dare not hesitate. By the Etoile of Saturday, it appears that the troubles 'in Syria are increasing. There is a general revolt in Lehimon.

JOBBING.—On Thursday last a buyer took foreign secu rities to the amount of about 90001. for which he gave his checks. These were paid in at different bankers, and ex changed at the clearing-house, in the usual course. On turning to the account, there appeared on the credit side twenty pounds to pay 9,0001. and about half-past five the checks were all returned! The holders forthwith coin menced a vigorous search for the defaulter—but in vain examined all his usual haunts.

The two subjects on which Mr. Sharp has here employed his pencil, are painted with great force, and contrasted with admirable effect. The latter is the true character of a knowing one. The eye of exquisite connnissanee which he casts at that particle of floating film, which, in a glass of genuine droll en Foal, the ILLVAIINAI I agree in calling the Bee's 'Nog. is most happily hit oW. He is exactly the man to be a referee in all disputes about vintages. We perceive by his face, that in a cellar of fine wines he can distinguish to a nicety between the eeve—the aromatic flavour which is left in the mouth—and the bouquet—the perfume which exhales in drawing the cork. if he were to bet a cask of Hermitage, he would stipulate •that it should be Yin de Pailk, twelve years in bottle. When at a dinner party of connoisseurs, the Itins Moo:sena are intro duced, he can descant, beyond them all, on the-inexplicable phenomena which determine or destroy the richt? mous sense. In debating a question of politics, he would reject all discussion which had not a bottle of Chamberlin for its basis, and he would have it served up N l * dr glace. But alas! we lament that we cannot greet this microscopic sd miter of " The Bee's Wing" in the encouraging language which Hoaacs uses of his friend Paocu mos— " Vivet eaten to Procttletue erre Ilium *get penna metttente saki Fain& supentes." We do not know whether Mr. Sharp intended the com panion " Physie" as a moral lecture on his neighbour's enjoyments, as bringing him in the end to the same pe nance. But however this may be, the une is certainly both a humorous and impressive comment on the other. 813. Delon:—The Trojans, in their flight .from the de struction of Troy; land ow the island af Delia, to consult the Oracle of 4pollo respecting their future destiny.— W. LINTON• " On Delian shores, within a sheltered bsy, (A safe retreat) our gilded vessels lay : Amidst the gorrieous city, towering high, Bright Phccbus temple glitters in the sky ; Oppressed with toil, we bless the sacred tine. And had the port that shields us from the main." Vtaott.'s Third Eneid. In this classical composition, Mr. LINTON has embodied the birth-place of Apollo and Diana with a romantic pencil that bespeaks an imagination truly poetic. We are allured by the charms of colour ; but where an artist is not tied down by his subject to follow the every-day appearance of nature, this richness of tone is admissible; in the present case it is essential, and is in strict unison with the subject. The architectural parts of the scenery are grand and well represented, and are so disposed as to make each contribute separately to the general effect. In such veneration was the Altar at DELOS held by the Persians, that although they profaned the other Temples of Greece without re morse, they rigidly abstained from offering it any violation. 109.-..Burntisland Harbour, Fifrshirc.—.l.lVitaos. This picture will contribute to increase that reputation which this artist's previous exertions have already obtained for him. The water is cool, and has that hue of nature which is not always given to this element, even by painters in other respects successful. The figures in the foreground are drawn with great strength and spirit. We were struck too with the skilful manner in which the effect of light is produced on the distant hills: it not only marks a very high attainment in art, but manifests—what is its first source of excellence—an accurate observation of nature. 110. Puppies Playing.—S. TAYLOR. This little picture has a very high claim upon our praise. The expression of countenance in the different animals is pourtrayed with great truth ; the sleeping whelp has all the reality of repose; his lively companion to the the left just raising his fore-leg, in the attitude of play fulness, is a perfect imitation of nature. 11 3. View at COpelhOlN, in SSISSM—P. We are glad to perceive that this excellent artist abates nothing of his energy ; he paints with as finished and firm a touch as ever. The general effect of his landscapes would, we think. be improved by a little more clearness in his nearer shadows. He is obviously fond of the tones of Ru vans t.r., but his genius will always prevent his being a copyist. In the picture before us his light is extremely well diffused, over a scene extremely well chosen for dis playing to advantage those powers of his pencil in which he excels. 120. The Mole-head at Santa Maura CARTWRIGHHT• This nautical scene is manifestly painted by a hand capa ble of mastering all the detail that belongs to it. It bears throughout the traces of a mind familiar with the actual observation of the objects it describes. The ship on the left of the picture recedes very finely into the distance, and is executed with great correctness. The vessel to the right is not quite so well managed ; the colouring of her sails is somewhat leathery, but this is chiefly conspicuous from the excellent tore of colour with which it is contrasted. The radiant gleam of sun upon the waves is good, though it brings CLAUDE to our remembrance, and it is hazard ous to the fame of any painter to conjure up the recollec tion of so great a Master. The waves have an appearance of stiffness from being too regularly indented : this is a de fect easily avoided, and which an artist, capable of pro ducing so admirable a picture, could only have admitted from oversight. 124. The rale and Lakes of Kenvi,*, Cumberland.—W. _ . " To Matures pride. Sweet Keswick's Vale, the Muse will guide ; The Muse who trod the enchanted gro und, And sailed the wondrous lake around, " &e. Dr. Dalton.—Vide Pealed's Collection of Poems. There is much grandeur and beauty of form in this picture, particularly in the massive right-hand mountain, in which there is a breadth and simplicity suited to the subject ; it is true to nature without being overcharged. The colours are well-tempered, awl the whole detail is ex tremely well made out. All the accessories of the com position are well introduced ; the eye reposes upon them with pleasure, from the harmony which prevails through out ; the air tint is particularly clear. We could wish the Catalogue bad informed us from what point this view is taken. We bow, en ',assort, to the Portrait of Alderman Hawkes, late Mayor of Nbririeh (No. 123). painted by order of his fellow-citizens, for St. Andrew's flail, in com memoration of his pub Le. spirit. B. R. II Arnow. We congratulate the good citizens of Norwich on the acquisition of an Alderman whose virtues they are so de sirous to commemorate. It redounds greatly to the honour of Mr. Hawkes, but we fear this portrait will not redound u much to the reputation of Mr. HAYDON. We trust the virtues of the worthy Alderman will go down to the latest posterity ; but as far as canvass is meant to peweerve " du immortal memory," we do not think this Sisk Viator" will keep it alive till the next Mayor's feast. (To be et:twinned.) The Haymarket Theatre will open on the 18th inst. Messrs. Burford's panoramic view of Edinburgh from Calton Hill, was opened for a private view on Saturday. in Leicester-square.
