SERIOUS OUTBREAK AND BLOOD SRED IN SYRIA. (From the Correspondent of Glasgow Courier.) 13eyrout, 18th Aug., 1859. My news to-day lam sorry to report, is tho roughly warlike. On Sabbath last, after morning service in the chapel at Beit Mary, a quarrel arose between some Druses and Marronite Christians. Beit Mary is a village on Lebanon, abort two hours ride from this, and half an hour from Brumanah, the seat of the Caimakan of the district. It is largely frequented by Europeans, chiefly French, as sum mer quarters. From less to more the quarrel, which was at first trifling, assumed a more serious character, and called forth all the bitterness of spirit which exists between the two sects. Crowds gathered in to both sides, and the contest continued fiercely all day. The Druses were the attackers, and followed the Christians into their houses, shooting and destroying all in their way. The re sult, according to the trustworthy accounts of the day's work was 21 Druses and 9 Christians (men) killed, and 3 women ; though report carries the numbers as high as 75 killed and 100 wounded. The Europeans residing in the village for sum mer quarters took fright, and during the night the principal part returned here. The horse of one of them was accidentally shot; and in one instance, which I find substantiated, some valu ables were pillaged from a house after its tenant had fled. Numerous reports were circulated of Europeans having suffered severely, but I am satisfied that these are without foundation, in fact, with the one exception men tioned, namely, the Prussian clergyman who lost his watch and some money, which were lying on a table. On Monday great efforts were made by the Druses to gather assistance, and to some extent they succeeded. A some what powerful Druse, Sheich Jusef Abdul Malek, of B'tater, with a following of some hundreds of men, joined the strife, but did not proceed so far as Belt. Mary. In his progress he burned some Christian villages or groups of houses in a district called the Kurieh, and committed other destruction. Beit Mary was deserted by the Christians and pillaged by the Druses. No great conflict took place, however, throughout the day, both parties engaging chiefly in concentrating their power. On Tuesday, however, a considerable assemblage took place on both sides in the Wady Hamanah, and there severe fighting continued throughout the day and until midnight. From all hands there are news of constant accession of num bers on both sides, and burning on both sides, and burning and pillaging are rife. Matters rest at this moment in a most critical position. The state of the mountains is like a box of tinder, a slight spark would set them in one whole blaze of war. The animosity of the two sects is, and has long been, most intensely bitter. and if once thoroughly let loose would lead to the most dreadful excesses. But there are worse features in the affair, which I will explain to you in speaking of the Govern ment. Naturally you will think, what has the Government done ? Such a strife two hours' distance from the seat of Government ought surely to have been quelled. Well, it is suf ficient to remember that it is the Turkish Govern ment, and in the matter they have acted in true Turkish style. On Sabbath, when authentic news of the strife arrived, the Government sent off a Prince to hold parley with the combatants. This, of course, produced nothing, as was intended. Next, when the affair got hotter, they sent off a Druse Sheich (who happened to be here at the time, and *hose retainers joined the combatants during the night), with 30 irregular cavalry. But this also produced nothing , nor did the valiant 30 en danger themselves by risking a combat. There was abundance of troops here, but it was only yesterday orders were given that 250 men should be sent to Beit Mary. These will not leave till to-morrow—, waiting, doubtless, till news comes of the war hav ing gone further into the interior; on hearing which they will advance to the place where the combat was, but is not. Had the Government sent off on Sabbath 50 regular soldiers the affair would have been stopped at once, and indeed' never have existed in its bad features. But this incompetency was only to have been expected, and were the Government only reprehensible for this, it would be compara tively nothing. The truth is far worse. It is evi dent beyond a doubt, and I speak with confidence, from the knowledge of one circumstance which makes the fact unquestionable, the Government is, in secret, aiding the Druses and fomenting the strife. It has purposely not interfered in the quarrel, and supplied the Druses with ammunition. What more do you wish to prove the corruption of our Government? But I can tell you that this is no thing wonderful. It is simply every-day Turkish policy. Intrigue is Turkish administration, and it is the high policy of our Government here to foment and keep up the animosities of the different moun tain sects. Military. are not intended for the pro tection of property and life ; just as Pashas are not for the administration of justice, but for the per sonal aggrandisement of the government, and the carrying out of its intrigues. To believe all the truth about our government you need to know it; and I am aware that without the knowledge you cannot comprehend it, for-even with the benefit of a practical insight it requires some time to get the believing fealty sufficiently expanded to equal the strain upon it. Yesterday , our Consul got into tremors for the , British residents in the mountains, but I am glad to say the latter have themselves no apprehensions, and the fears of the former exercised no weight with them. Happily they are all in a district free from any strife, and even although this was not the case, they would have no cause to fear. Their nationality is enough to secure them with the Druses, and to prevent any attack from the Christians. 4.15 Pat.—Post is just starting, and I have only time to add that a pacification has been made be tween the contending parties in the mountains, and it may be supposed that the troubles, at least for the present, are ended. Any one who has entered during this year the court of the British Museum must have been sur prised to see its noble portico deformed by a long " lean-to." If he has been allowed to look through the dirty glass walls of this excrescence he has dis covered that it contains a range of Greek sculpture, some as colossal as the most gigantic of the remains 9f Nineveh, and some as grand as those of the Par thenon. They are the produce of 385 cases, brought by her Majesty's ships Supply and Gorgon from Budrum, Cnidus, Branchichea, Calymnos, and Rhodes, containing the sculpture, the architecture, the pottery, and the miscellaneous antiquities dis covered and disinterred by Mr. C. T. Newton in the three years of his memorable expedition. Of sculpture and architecture the portions most noble in style and in execution, and the most his torically interesting are those supplied from the Mausoleum. The colossal statue of Mausolus, which crowned it, is most happily putlogether out of 63 fragments, and but little injured. The portions of the two horses of the car on which he stood, and four slabs of the frieze, in high relief, which run round the external portico, are in very fine condi tion. An angle capitol, several steps from the pyramid which supported the car, and mouldings from other parts of the ruins, probably afford the means of restoring the plan of the building, and in numerable fragments of figures and friezes show the nature of its decorations. Inferior only to the treasures from Budrum are those from Cnidus. The most remarkable are a lion, 10 feet long and six feet high, cut from a single block of white marble, which once crowned the pyramidal roof of a Doric tomb on the promontory near Cnidus. The Temenos of Demeter, Persephone, and Pluto has given up to us several statues of the two former divinities, several marble pigs dedicated to Perse phone, and many fragments in fine Parian marble of the best period of Greek sculpture. A statue of Depicter has reached us, found in its original niche in a tomb erected by the people gf Cnidus to their eminent citizen Lykeethios, a name which owes its preservation to their gratitude. A lion and a sphynx and 10 seated statues, taken from the sacred way leading to the Temple of Apollo at Branchidm, are the most interesting products of the sxcavations near Miietus. They are all remarkable for their archaic, almost Egyptian forms, and two of them contain inscrip tions in - very ancient Greek characters. They may belong to a date between B.C. 560 and B.C. 520, and in that case are among our earliest specimens of Greek sculpture. The inscriptions which Mr. Newton has preserved for us form a long and interesting sezies, exhibit ing the chief varieties of Greek palmography, through a range of time of not less than 800 years, from B.C. 220, or earlier, to A.D. 300, or later. The most remarkable of these inscriptions are :- 1. The base from Branchidie, dedicated by the sons of Anaximander, with the name of an artist, Terpsicles, the maker of the object dedicated. 2. The votive inscription on the lion of Bran chidm, in which a tenth is dedicated to the Apollo of that temple by a number of persons, probably citizens of Mil2tus. . _ 3. The votive inscription to Apollo, by Chares, ruler of Teichiosa, on the chair of his statue in the sacred way—Branchidaa. From Cnidus aro a number of inscriptions from the temenos of Demeter and Persephone, contain ing dedications to these deities, to Pluto Epima chos, to Hermes, as conductor of the dead, and to the Dioscuri. One of these is in hexameter verse. These inscriptions were placed on the bases of statues of the deities worshipped in the Temenos. From the Temple of the Muses are two inscrip tions—one con tain in g a dedication of Apollo Pythias, the other to the Muses ; from the Eastern Cemetery , is an inscription in elegiac verse relating to a pa loestra, in which were statues of Pan and Hermes. Other inscriptions from Cnidus are valuable, as mentioning the Senate and chief magistrates of the city, or as giving the names of new artists. Of sepulchral inscriptions of the Roman period there are numerous examples ; one of these is an epitaph of elegiac verse of some length. Among the inscriptions collected at Iludrum is one which relates to a stow, built at Halicarnassus by Ptolemy Philadelphus. Another of the Ptolemies, the eighth of the dynasty, is mentioned in an in scription found near Branchidat, which records the bringing of an ivory door from Egypt as an offering to the Temple of Apollo. From Rhodes is a long inscription eoigaining a decree by the people of Lindus, and by another city or tribe previously unknown. From Calymnos is a long dec r ee r e lating to the building of a proscenium, and part of a decree of proxea. Most of these i nscr ipti ons are in very fine condition. m Of Fictile Vase's, the following interesting ex amples belong to the last cargo of the Supply. (1.) Rhodes.—A large collection of vases of the archaic period recently discovered near the pre sumed site of the ancient Camirus. These vases are chiefly of the style known as Phoenician, in which friezes, monsters, animals, and floral decorations, painted in crimson and black on a cream-coloured ground,. form the subjects of the picture. The collection now brought from Rhodes exhibits great varieties of form, among which the most re markable are large platters, of a kind which have not been found elsewhere. The vigour of the drawing and the brilliancy and freshness of the colouring in these vases render them most valuable specimens of archaic art. They have, moreover, a peculiar interest from the circum stance that they were discovered near the presumed site of the ancient Camirus and in the same tombs with other antiquities, some of which were certainly imported from Egypt, while others are probably specimens of Phoenician art, executed in that earlier period before the Greeks had driven out the traders of Sidon and Tyre from their stations in the East ern Mediterranean. The antiquities found in these tombs form a re markable illustration of those found at Pallidrara, near Vulci in Etruria, some years ago. From the island of Telos are three large vases of the latest period of Greek fictile art, and very simi lar to a class found in Southern Italy. From Haliearnassus are two vases with red figures, discovered by Mr. Newton in tombs in the Eastern Cemetery. In these tombs were several unedited silver coins placed in the mouth of the dead to pay the passage over the Styx. When the vases here described are combined with those previously obtained by Mr. Newton in the islands of Cos, Calymnos, and Rhodes, they will form a series of examples of fictile a r t from the Tur kish side of the Archipelago more complete than is at present to be found in any European museum. At Cnidus no large vases have been found, but a great variety of lamps of a black ware, resembling Wedgewood ware; were obtained from the Temenos of Demeter. Of Terracottas, the most interesting are some small and beautifully modelled figures and heads from the site of the Mausoleum; and from the Temenos of Demeter and Persephone, at Cnidus. Some of those from the Mausoleum may possibly have served as models for the sculptors employed on that edifice, but the great majority are certainly votive offerings. A collection of small figures, more remarkable for numbers than execution, was found in the vaults of a building of the Roman period at Budrum, and some interesting specimens of groups embossed on cups and lamps in an excavation at Cnidus. Among the coarser pottery may be mentioned a large collection of handles of diotce, also specimens of drain pipes, roof tiles, and artificial ornaments from the site of the Mausoleum and from Cnidus. Of miscellaneous antiquities the most remarkable are the following :- 1. The alabaster vase with the name of Xerxes in hieroglyphic and cuneiform characters, discovered at the foot of a staircase leading down into the Mausoleum. 2. Several vases and a small figure of blue porce lain, inscribed with hieroglyphics, and severa l vases of opaque glass, found with- the Phoenician vases, already described, at Camirus in Rhodes. With these objects was also found a large cake of blue colour. 3. A group of Eros and Psyche in relief, on the handle of a large bronze vase, said to have been found in the island of Telos. 4. Portions of an ancient flute, with a bone mouthpiece, from a tomb at Budrum. 5. A bronze cup, from a tomb at Budrum, of very beautiful form, found with the vases with red figures already described. • 6. A very small elephant cut in ivory, which has been a pendant, found on the top of the eastern Peribolas wall of the Mausoleum. Tesselated Pavements.—A number of figures and patterns in mosaic, from pavements discovered at Budrum. These are coarse and in bad condition. Coins.—A collection, comprising several unedited or rare coins, mostly copper, from Caria and the adjacent islands. The expedition being now concluded, the whole of the plans, drawings, and photographs made dura 2. Drawings of the architecture of the Mauso leum, the castle at Budrum, the lion tomb at Cnidus, also various architectural remains and pic turesque views taken at Budrum, Cnidus, and Cos, by Mr. R. P. Pullner, architect. 3. Upwards of 300 photographic negatives, con taining views of sculpture, excavations, and scenery at Budrum, Cnidus, and Branchidm, by Corporal Spachman, R.E. 4. Facsimiles of the armorial bearings and in scriptions placed on the walls of the castle at Bud rum, by the Knights of St. John. These facsimiles have been executed by Corporal Spachman, R.E. The plans, drawings, and photographs form a series of documents for the History of the Expedi tion, and it is to be hoped that they may be pub lished without delay, and that this work may be executed in a manner worthy of the liberal inten tions of the Government by whose authority so comprehensive a scheme of illustration was planned and carried out. 111 E NATT.Y. The Excellent, gunnery ship tkt Portsmouth, Capt. Hewlett, C. 8., will shortly be taken into dock for Uvei:hauLand repair._ It is expected the Colossus, 80, screw,--in-tbe first-class steam reserve, will take up the nrceltent's-moo - rings, *hell she will fully test the cupola furnace, recently fitted on board her, for the filling of hollow shot with mol ten metal. The Lords Commissioners of the Admiralty re turned to town by train from Portsmouth on Sa turday morning. The workmen of the dockyard and Royal Clarence yard received their customary half-holyday on the occasion of their Lordships' annual inspection on Saturday. The Pearl, 20, screw, Capt. J. Borlase, C. 8., fit ting at Portsmouth, has sent up her lower and top sail yards and placed battens on her rigging. The Arrogant, 47 screw, Capt. W. Edmondstone, in dock at Portsmouth, fitting as senior officer's ship on the coast of Africa, is having stern gun room ports fitted to increase her ventilation. The Harrier, 174 screw, Capt. Sir M. M‘Gregor, at Portsmouth, has stripped to her lower masts. She pays off about Wednesday next. Steam was got up on Friday on board the screw steamship St. George, 91, at Devonport. The screw steam sloop Grayhound, 17, is ap pointed to be undocke'd to-day (Monday) at Key ham, Plymouth. The screw steam despatch vessel Flying Fish, 6, Commander Hope, arrived on Saturday evening at Plymouth, from the squadron in Torbay, where the ships arrived on Friday. It is understood that they will separate about the 21st inst. The screw steam frigate Diadem, 32, Capt. W. Moorsom, C. 8., will probably go to Plymouth to repair spars, &c. One of Sir W. Armstrong's guns, an 80-pounder, forged at the Elswick factory, was tested in. the long range at Shoeburyness on Thursday last, in the presence of the Ordnance Select Committee of Woolwich Arsenal, and gave the most wonderful results as regards accuracy, &c. The flight ob tained was 9,000 yards, or upwards of five miles. The military store screw steamship Lord Pan mure, Mr. J. T. Moore, commander, arrived nif Woolwich Arsenal on Saturday, from Devonport, laden with stores for the Tower. The Pitt coal depot, in the steam basin at Ports mouth, is ordered to be fitted with machinery for coaling the fleet at Portland. Commander the Right Hon. Richard James Vis count Gilford, has been promoted to the rank of captain. This officer obtained his commission as lieutenant 15th September, 1852, and served in the Imperieuse, 51, screw frigate, in the Baltic fleet, from December, 1852, to the close of the Russian war. He was appointed to the Raleigh, 50, Com modore the Hon. Henry Keppel, C. 8., on the 4th September, 1856, where he served on the East India and China station until re-appointed to the Calcutta, 84, flag ship, on the same station, in August, 1857. He was promoted to the rank of commander 26th February, 1858, and has held the command of the Hornet, 17, screw steam-sloop, on the East India and China station since the 9th March, 1858. Mr. Frederick F. Morgan has been appointed surgeon to the Pearl, 21, screw corvette. THE ARMY. It may possibly serve to elucidate the question as to how far it may be desirable to resort to corporal punishment to instance the results of a totally dif ferent system, pursued at Chatham, at which gar rison the infliction of the lash is resorted to only on the very rarest occasions. During the present year there have been certainly not more than half a-dozen soldiers flogged at that garrison, and these only men whose ruffianly propensities rendered all other descriptions of punishment unavailing. In the last two cases of corporal punishment both the men flogged had openly refused to obey the orders of their commanding officers when on a full parade of the troops, and had made use of mutinous lan guage, when, or course, the requirements of the ser vice rendered it necessary that a severe example should be made, one of the men receiving 50 lashes and a long term of imprisonment, and the other 25 lashes and imprisonment. Notwithstanding that the lash is but seldom resorted to, the discipline of the troops at Chatham is, perhaps, not equalled, and certainly not excelled, by those of any other troops in England, although there are seldom less than 5,000 men belonging to various branches of the service quartered at that garrison. This result has been brought about by the prompt measures resorted to by the Major-General commanding for maintaining discipline among the troops under his command. When released from military control the conduct of the men is equally praiseworthy. Mili tary brawls in the streets—a thing of almost nightly occurrence in many other garrison towns—are al rmost unknown in Chatham, strong pickets being stationed in the streets to remove any man to the barracks on the slightest indication of a disturbance. In order to provide amusements for the troops, and to entice them away from the low beerhouses and dens of inflimy in the town of Chatham, the Major- General has sanctioned healthy games, space in the barracks being provided for skittles, nine-pins, fives, and other amusements, while a piece of ground is appropriated entirely for the use of the soldiers on which to play at cricket. In addition to this a large room has just been appropriated at Brompton barracks in which the men can practice single-stick, fencing, and boxing, and this is nightly resorted to by the troops at that barracks. Reading and news rooms are also provided in the barracks for the men, who have the use of well-furnished libraries. The result of this effort is that the troops are kept from debasing pursuits, which in other garrisons lead them to desert, and commit crimes which render them amenable to courts-martial. Orders have been received at Chatham for the following officers at that garrison to embark for India with the reinforcements of cavalry and in fantry proceeding to join the service companies of their respective regiments, viz.,—Major T. Teulon, 35th Regiment; Lieut. W. B. D. Alderson, 77th Regiment ; Lieut. J. Wilkinson, 81st Regiment ; Ensigns W. Trocke, C. J. Stone, and A. C. Crook shank, 35th Regiment ; Ensigns J. E. K. Morley and J. Hogarth, 43d Light Infantry ; Ensigns A. C. F. Armstrong, H. F. H. Gibsone, and J. Fraser, 73d Regiment ; Ensigns G. A. White and E. N. Mosley, 77th Regiment. On Saturday Major-Gen. Eyre, the Commandant of Chatham, assembled the whole of the officers and men of the various East India depots who are under orders to embark for India on the general parade- Capt. Durnford's 27th company of Royal Engi neers, employed, in consequence of the builders' strike, in terminating the works left incomplete in Sir W. Armstrong's new factory at Woolwich, have accomplished their engagements in a most masterly style. They have set the three huge boilers required for working the Nasmyth's hammers and other machinery, have laid down the flag flooring of the engine -houses, completed the pointing of the exte rior walls, hung th 6 doors and window frames, glazed the windows, completed the plumbers' and smiths' work, &c., with the proficiency of practised and skilful artificers. Capt. Durnford, Lieut. Buckle, and 90 non-commissioned officers and men of the company, will leave Woolwich to-day (Monday) for atham. I,ieut. Micklem and the remainder of he company—namely, 40 men, will join head quarters in a few days. Lieut. H. D. Crozier. and 150 an.. of the Royal Engineers, at-Chatham; are to embark for India, to fill up vacancies. The reinforcements from the camp at Colchester for service in India will, it is expected, leave the camp in the course of the current week. The total strength of the detachment is 12 officers (the chief of whom is Col. Guy, of the sth Fusileers), and 670 non-commissioned officers and privates. A fives-court is now in course of construction at the camp. A detachment of the Norfolk Artillery, under the command of Capt. Wodehouse, with Lieut. Beding feld, 4 sergeants, 89 rank and file, and 1 t rumpe t er , proceeded to Pirfleet from Sheerness on the Ist inst., in her Majesty's steamer Lizard, to relieve a similar number of the Forfar Artillery. The Himalaya screw troopship, Commander J. Seccombe, sailed from Portsmouth on Saturday at noon for Halifax, Quebec, and Bermuda, with the officers and troops on board as enumerated in The . Sun of Saturday. Lieut. Crowther, of the 63d Regiment, also embarked on board the Himalaya on Saturday for a passage to Halifax. The Royal Antrim Artillery were inspected on the Ist inst. by Gen. Gascoigne, commanding the division. He was received by the regiment in line, under the command of the colonel, Viscount Mas sareene. After presenting arms, the regiment broke into open column of companies, and was most minutely inspected by the General. At the conclu sion the regiment was formed up in quarter-distance column, and was addressed by the General, who said : " My . Lord Massareene,—l have had great plea sure in inspecting your regiment to-day, for in your ranks I find very many fine and soldierly men, and if I have passed any remarks upon a few, it has been more as a spur to others than as a condemna tion of any one. With regard to your conduct since you came into this camp I can only say that you came hero under circumstoncos and with a name apparently not altogether creditable to you, but the result of the investigation into the affair to which I allude has clearly shown that the occurrence was attributable not to yourselves, but to the conduct of the civilians with whom you were brought in contact. While you have been here you have be haved yourselves in a most soldierlike and orderly manner ; you have seen while here something of what is expected of a regiment, and I trust that wherever you go—and your stay here will not, I believe, continue long—you will bear the same character you have earned for yourselves here." THE IRON TRADE. Mr. Samuel Griffi'lls, in his circular dated Wol verhampton, Sept. 3d, says :-The demand for most kinds of Staffordshire iron during the whole of the past month, has been consiiiii•ably in excess of the corresponding month of last quarter. A consider able impetus was given to the trade in August, by the demand from Canada for nail sheets, boiler plates, and angle bars, more' especially the former kind, which kept several of the second rate works fully occupied during the greater part of the month. The demand for the home trade, the East Indies, and Australia, has likewise been considerably over the average, running upon hoops, thin sheets, angle bars, best bars, and a few small orders for boiler plates. Considerable quantities of nail rods of known brands have also been slit in the district for China, and a fair average weight of common rods for consumption in our own district have changed hands. The demand for superior horse nail rods for the Belper district has likewise been satisfactory, and a contract has been entered into by a firm in the neighbourhood for 3,000 tons of Staffordshire rails. On the other hand, the orders from the United States have not come up to the expectations of the best informed parties in the trade. During the whole month the specifications arriving here by each successive vessel have been small, and even by the last packet the same feature prevails with regard to the orders received. On the whole the trade may be considered decidedly more healthy and the demand satisfactory, being entirely for legitimate consumption. Late prices are well maintained, and for all kinds of finished iron the turn of the market against buyers. The market for pig iron during the month has been good, and several large contracts have been entered into in the early part of it by some of the leading manufacturers for hydrates and first-class all mine brands, which continue firm at prices below. Nevertheless the market has, during the latter part of the month, assumed a quieter tone, and con siderably less b us i ness h as b een d one during the last fortnight in pig iron, and the same feature prevailed to a greater extent during the last week -more especially with regard to pig iron of second and third-class quality. The importations into these districts have very much fallen off, owing to the demand for finished iron now running upon best qualities, which require our own native hydrates and all mine brands for their mix tures. Shropshire and Forest of Dean are still arriving ; and in favour with the manufacturers. Melters, Nos. 1,2, and 3, have been in good re quest during the month, and more than an average amount of business done in them at full rates. Good qualities of puddled bars have been much sought after, at slightly improved prices, and refined metal has found a much better market at current lees. The official list of prices of finished iron is as follows :-Common Staffordshire bars, 71. 10s., at the works ; best bars, 8/. 10s. ; sheets, 91. ; doubles, 101. 10s. ; nail sheets, 8/. 10s. ; lattin, 121.; boiler plates, 9/. ; best and best best in proportion , com mon rods, 71. 10F. ; hoops, Si. 10s. ; Canada plates, 121., and all other sorts in proportion. urrent prices of pig iron, Staffordshire cold blast, 4/. 10s. ' • best native hydrate pigs, 3 /. 15 s. to 41. ss. ; first class all mine grey forge pigs,3/.75.6d. to 31. 15s. ; good mine pigs, with a modicum of flue cinder, 31. 55.; mine pigs, deteriorated by cinder, 2/. 12s. 6d. to 3/. ; Melters, Nos. 1,2, and 3, 21.175. 6d. to 3/. 2s. 6d. ; superior makes of all mine melting iron, 3/. 10s. to 4/., according to make and quality. The Glasgow market for Scotch pigs " has been comparatively firm, with a fair demand both for speculation and shipment. The opening price was 525. 3d. cash, but a steady advance followed to 535. 9d., on the 11th ult., which was followed by a slight re-action, since then, the price of mixed Nos. warrants has fluctuated between 525. 6d. and 535." The market yesterday (Friday) was steady, buyers 525. 6d. prompt; exports for the month of August, 63,906 tons against 61,165 tons for the correspond.. ing month of .last year, which must be considered satisfactory. Copper-The market continues drooping, with little business doing, and although the stocks of foreign are heavy, and prices giving way when business is done, the English smelters are endea vouring to uphold fixed rates, alleging the present standard as the barrier to a reduction in price. Tin-The price of English remains the same,with moderate demand. Straits has declined in price, being now worth 36/. to 371. Banes, 1445., no thing doing in the latter. Tin plates, the demand less active, manufacturers tolerably well off for old contracts. ; .1.4‘ : 64 % civic BANQUET AT LEE9.S:‘:;- - -f 4- mi t, 4 l . - Sir Peter Fairbairn, the Mayor of Lee4i :j r;;,: grand banquet at the Town-hall of that bo • 4 . Friday - evening last to the Lord-Lieutenant of : West Riding-(Earl Fitzwilliam); several Yorkshire members of Parliament,the .Lord Mayor of York, .. the Mayors of the West Riding boroughs, the local magistracy, the members.of,the Leeds Town Conn- ' cil, and the principal gentry of the town and neigh- . bourhood. Altogether upwards of 150 guests were present. Civic feasts of this • character are almost a novelty in Leeds, this being only the second of the kind ever held, the first being one given by his worship the present Mayor immediately after the inauguration of the Town-hall by her Majesty the Queen in September, 1858. In some measure the banquet on Friday was a commemoration of that auspicious. event, but the object - of the festivity as stated in the cards of invitation was simply " to meet the Lord Lieutenant of the 'West Rid ing." Among the gusts were Earl Fitzwilliam, Mr. R. M. Milnes M.P., Mr. F. C ross l ey, M . P . ,. Mr. J. Greenwood,iLP., Mr. G. liadfield, M.P., Mr. E. Baines, M.P., Mr. Titus Salt, M.P., the Ven. Archdeacon Musgrave:the Rev. James Atlay (the newly-appointed vicar of Leeds), the Rev. J. Bell, the Lord. Mayor of York, the Mayors of Bradford, Halifax, Wakefield, Pontefract, and Sheffield, Mr. - W. Beckett, Mr. I. Gott, Mr. R. Markland, Mr. D. Lupton, Mr. W. Ferrand, Mr. J - . W. Childers, Mr. H. S. Thompson, Major Waud, - &c. The viands and wines, which were supplied by Mr. Fleischmann, of the Scarborough Hotel, Leeds, were all of the first character.. Mr. Harker of London, acted, in his usual admirable style as toastmaster. Lady Fitzwilliam and Lady Fairbairn entered the hall during the evening and were loudly cheered. Among the speakers after the banquet were, besides Sir Peter Fairbairn, who, as a matter or course, occupied the chair, Earl Fitzwil liam, Mr. R. M. Milnes, Mr. E. Baines, Mr. Green wood, Mr. F. Crossley, Mr. W. Beckett, Mr. J. Gott, Mr. R.' Markland, Mr. Childers, Major Waud, Mr. Kemplay, Mr. Thomson, &e. The speeches were ehiefiy of a complimentary character, but one topic was also touched upon by most of the speakers —the desirableness of a closer union between the town and the county; or, in other words, between the manufacturing and agricultural inte.: - _ts. /Sir Peter Fairbairn declared that he had that Object in view when he invited the guests to meet him, and the feeling was warmly reciprocated by all present. THE LOSS OF THE AEGO, NEW YORK AND GALWAY STEAMER. On Saturday the Board of Trade issued the re port of Mr. Porter, the magistrate, and Captain Harris, the nautical assessor, who held the recent inquiry at Dublin into the loss of th e A rgo , one of the New York and 'Galway line of steamers, on the coast of Newfoundland, and the decision of the Board in the matter. The Argo was upwards of 2,000 tons, and was formerly one of the fleet of the General Screw Steam Shipping Company. She was on a voyage from New York to St. John's, Newfoundland, and Galway:, with 210 passengers of different classes on board, when she struck on a rock on the morning of the 28th of June, and be came a total loss. After noticing the course and progress of the ship, Mr. Porter thus reports : " 11Iy deliberate opinion, after maturely considering all the evidence that has been adduced, is that the master of the Argo, having made the land of Cape Pine, and conse quently aware that he was approaching Cape Race, and with a knowledge that the currents in that vicinity were both strong and irregular, was not justified in continuing his course at full speed during a dense fog such as the wit nesses describe, and as he himself admita. Again, having passed one iceberg and seen another in Trepassy Bay, as also others seen by the ice pilot about Cape Race, the master wasthe less justifiectin running full speed when the fog came on at 4.15 a.m., and I look on it as a most providential circum stance that he fell in with the fishing schooner at anchor when he did. Had not such been the case his ship . wduld inevitably have been dashed against the eastern shore of Trepassy Bay, and many lives would in all probability have been lost, in which case Captain Halpin might now have to encounter a more serious charge in a higher court. I am, therefore, compelled to say that the omission to slow the engine of his ship during a dense fog was the primary cause of the disaster ; and I consequently find that the loss of the Argo was occasioned by the default of the master. I trans mit the master's certificate, and, having thus performed a painful and strict duty; and having also considered the accompanying testimonials to the character and professional ability of Captain Halpin, and being also aware by the evi dence that the catastrophe was unattended with the loss of life, and that Captain Halpin has suffered severely by the loss of a valuable personal venture, I earnestly entreat their lordships of the Board of Trade to deal with his case as leniently as may in their judgment be consistent with the state of factswhich I have herein reported and submitted for their lordships' consideration." Captain Harris, the nautical assessor, expresses his concurrence in the report. The Board of Trade have directed that Captain Halpin's certificate be suspended for nine months. THE CASE OF DR. SMETHURST. The greatest anxiety appears to exist in the public mind as to the ultimate fate efDr. Smethurst, but, of course, no determination has yet been coma to upon the subject, and probably will not be for a considerable time, all that is at present known being that, the execution of the capital sentence having been respited during her Majesty's plea sure, the life of the culprit will undoubtedly be spared, and his fate is entirely in the hands of the Home Secretary, or rather of the advisers of the Crown in these matters. It would seem that the reprieve was quite unex pected by the gaol authorities, and that the prisoner himself, although he still continued to exhibit a good deal of that confident demeanour that he has shown throughout the entire proceedings, evidently had some misgivings as to the result. It was ex pected by himself and those who have taken an ac tive part in the proceedings to obtain a respite that if a reprieve was granted it would not be delayed beyond the middle of the week ; and when that pe riod passed over, and Thursday and Friday arrived and no communication was received from the Go vernment, the hopes of the prisoner and his friends became fainter, and it was the general impression up to the afternoon of Friday that the sentence would be carried out. So strong was this impres sion upon the minds of the officers of the prison that on Friday morning orders were given that the scaffold and the drop and all the apparatus con nected with the gallows should be carefully exa mined to see that it was in proper order to perform its dreadful task. It has not been used for several years, and the whole of the framework is kept is the entrance-lodge of the gaol, and, having lain by so long, it was thought that possibly some of the joints might not be in working order, and there fore the precaution was taken to have it examined, and this was done, and a report was made to Mr. Keene, the governor of the gaol, that the scaffold would be ready if required, and all the different portions of the erection were laid ready to be put up on Tuesday morning. During the early part of the week Dr. Smethurst appeared in extraordinary spirits. It has already been stated that he is watched day and night by two warders of the prison, who take it by turns to perform this duty. He converses with these men in the most friendly manner, and has frequently joked upon different subjects. With the chaplain, the surgeon, and every official connected with the pri son he has always appeared most anxious to con verso.upon the subject of his alleged crime, arguing with great apparent earnestness and sincerity upon the folly of it being supposed that he should com mit such a dreadful murder for the sake of obtain- ing a few hundred pounds, when he had an ample sufficiency for all his wants, and besides which, the deceased would have willingly given him the money if he had asked her to do so. He has all along ap peared in extraordinary spirits, and it was not until the week wore away and the day fixed for the exe cution of the sentence became nearer and nearer that his appearance and demeanour were at all al tered, and then only to a trifling extent. The Rev. Mr. Jessopp, the chaplain of the prison,. remained at Horsemonger•lane Gaol considerably longer than his ordinary time for attendance on, Friday, in the event of any communication arriving from the Home-office, that he might make it known, to the prisoner, and he left the prison under the e full impression that no respite would be sent tha .t day. Shortly afterwards, however, a messenge r ea ;- rived, bearing the reprieve, which was address e d' to the governor, and Mr. Keene immediately proceeaed to the prisoner's cell a n d communicatd to him the welcome intelligence, at the same time explain ing to him that it was not a respite for any particu lac period, which would still render his ultimate f ate uncertain, but that the effect of a reprieve during her Majesty's pleasure was that his life would cer tainly be spared. Dr. Smethurst did not betra .y so much emotion as might have been expected Li, ider the circumstances, but he shook hands with th vernor, and in an earnest manner asserted his tire innocence of the crime for which he was eon& n 2 sued to die, and added, " What a dreadful thing it r c ould have been to die an ignominio us death for a I cr ime that was never committed!" There is very little doubt t hat the friends of the prisoner will exert themselves to procure 8, tc ,tai re mission of punishment , o n the ground Vimt as the Government, by refusing to allow the - ear i_tai sen tence to be carried out, admit that there a re doubts of his guilt, the prisoner ought to hr.ve tl Le benefit of those doubts, and be altogether ?iisehar ged from punishment.
