MACKIE'S STATION HOTEL, INVERNESS. Why is this HOTEL not known in the CALEDONIAN CANAL ROUTE to INVERNESS ? THE MYSTERIOUS CHILD MURDER NEAR FRO3IE. The following is a report of what took place at the inquiry into this mysterious affair after the despatch of our parcel on Friday, the result of which we, however, were enabled to give : Esther Holly, laundress, deposed as follows : I have been in the habit of washing for Mr. Kent's family till within the last three weeks. I recollect going for the clothes on the Monday after the murder. When I got to the house I saw the cook ; we went upstairs to the spare room where the clothes were generally kept. The cook brought down one basket and I the other. I then secured the clothes in the baskets and went out and called my daughter Martha. The clothes were then in the same state as l always received them. Mrs. Kent's dress was on one basket and something else on the other. I and my daughter went straight home with the clothes. We had heard that there was a night dress lost, and we opened the basket within five minutes after we got home, and found that one was missing. It was not our usual custom to open the clothes so soon after receiving them. We heard a rumour that a nightdress was missing. Mr. Edlin objected that the bench, who were, as it appeared, conducting the prosecution, ought not to put questions which would be inadmissible. The Chairman said the magistrates were not acting as prosecutors ; they were merely conduct ing the investigation, and Mr. Edlin had frequently interposed objections. Mr. Edlin had respectfully submitted to the bench that, in a case where a young lady was on remand, charged with wilful murder, no question ought to be put to witnesses which would be inad missible on the prosecution of so serious a charge. The examination of the witness was then re sumed, and she deposed to the missing of the night dress, and to having sent to the house immediately on discovering its loss. Mr. Kent told me he would have a special warrar t for me if the dress was not returned in 48 hours. I told him I was certain I had not had the dress, and I went then. I have had no washing from Mr. Kent's house since. I have not seen anything of the missing. nightdress. My house and my two daughters have been searched by the police for the dress. By Mr. Edlin—l had the clothes home about 12 o'clock on the Monday following the murder, and in about five minutes after began to make a search for something that was missing. On the next day I went up to Mr. Kent's and got my money, and took back the book with me, I did not say any thing to the housemaid about anything being miss ing. I never gave it a thought; that is where I was wrong. I have three daughters, two married and one single. The single one lives with n.e. All three daughters were present when I examined the. clothes that I brought from Mr. Kent's. One of my daughters is married to a brother of William Nutt, who has been examined here to-day. He is a labourer, and lives in Road. My husband and son live in the house with me and my youngest daughter. All my daughters assist me in the washing, and no one else. They were all at home when I got home with my youngest daughter with the clothes. I went up to get my money the next day, between 11 And 12 o'clock, and saw Mrs. Kent about the missing dress the same evening, after my daughter came back. I was told then that they were quite sure that Miss Con stance's nightdress had been sent.- The police came to my house the first time on the Tuesday evening. lam quite clear about it. Four constables came together, and the parish constable as well. I was quite alarmed about it. They came to my house before I sent to Mrs. Kent's inquiring about the piece of flannel that was found. I knew the night dress was missing at the time, but I did not say anything to them about it. I told them the clothes were all right by the book. They came to me about the nightdress the next day. I was expecting the nightdress to be sent to satisfy the book, the same as other clothes came sometimes. There were two things missing before, one a very ragged duster, and the other an old towel. Those are the only things I was ever accused of having before, and that I'll swear. Mrs. Kent forgave me the towel. My other daughter is married to William Riddle. The magistrates, having consulted, announced that no more witnesses would be called. Edlin then asked the bench instantly to libe rate the accused, and restore her to her friends, There was not a tittle of evidence against her, not one word on which the finger of infamy could be pointed against her. Although a mostatrocious mur der had been committed, it had been followed by a judicial murder no less atrocious. If the murderer were never discovered, it would never be forgotten that this young lady had been dragged like a com mon felon to Devizes gaol. The fact alone was quite sufficient to insure the sympathy of every man in the county and the kingdom. The steps which had been taken must blast her hopes and prospects for life, and those steps had been taken solely on the suspicion of an inspector of police, acting under the influence of the reward which had been offered. The fact respecting the missing bedgown had been cleared up to the satisfaction of every one who had heard the evidence that day, and no doubt could remain that this little peg, upon which this fearful charge had been grounded, had fallen to the ground. He asked the magistrates, therefore, to pause and say whether for one moment longer this young lady should be kept in custody. Without reproaching Inspector Whicher for what he had done, he must say that the hunting up the schoolfellows of Miss Constance Kent reflected ineffable disgrace upon those who had been the means of bringing them there. Nothing that had been elicited from those young ladies showed anything like animus on the part of the prisoner towards the deceased child, nor had any motive been established which would induce the prisoner to imbrue her hands in the blood of the poor little child. He appealed to the bench, therefore, the case for the prosecution being exhausted—and a weaker one he had never heard—to perform their duty to the country and to the prisoner by at once saying that the evidence adduced satisfied them that the charge was groundless, and that Miss Constance Kent should be at once discharged. A fearful responsibility would rest upon the magistrates if they should again remand the prisoner. No evidence to warrant a remand had been adduced upon the first occasion ; but if, now the matter had been exhausted by the prosecution, this young lady should be again sent back to gaol, he hesitated not to say that great in justice would be done to the prisoner, and that the bench would be failing in the discharge of the duties they were sworn to perform. He besought the magistrates, therefore, immediately to liberate the young lady, and to restore her to her friends and her home. Some applause followed the address of the learned counsel,,which was instantly suppressed. The magistrates, after a brief consultation, an nounced that they had decided on discharging the prisoner, on her father entering into recognisances of £2OO for her appearance if called upon. The prisoner was then discharged. THE SUEZ CANAL.—It is said that at a late meet ing of the shareholders of the Suez Canal Company at Paris, accounts of the company were produced, by which it appeared that a million of francs have been expended in the cost of the direction ; that of this sum 500,00 f. had been charged for the furnishing his apart ment a t P ar i s , and 400,000 f. for the journ e y s o f M. L es seps, a further sum for salaries of the members of the direction, consisting of M. Lesseps and one or two associates. EXPERIMEN7 8 WITH WHITWORTII'b' RIFLED CAN.NON.

At the conclusion of the second day's experiments a few shots were fired to test the practicability of using the breach-loading 80-pounder as a muzzle loading gun. No special preparation had been made for this experiment. The powder was hastily tied up in square pieces of flannel, so as to form car tridges. The cartridges and shot were pushed in at the muzzle and rammed home in the usual way. As it was desired to observe the effect of the ricochet, only half charges of powder were used. The charges were fired without any difficulty ; the distances of the first grazes averaged about 940 yards, and the shot then ricochetted with precision to a considerable distance. As the velocity dimi nished they were deflected from the line of fire in the direction in which the gun is rifled to the right. On Friday morning a few experiments were wads with the 12-pounder and 80-pounder, fired at high elevations. The range obtained with the 80. pounder, firing 551 b. shell, at 10 deg. of elevation, was 5,043 yards! The time of flight, as observed by the naval officers present, Captain Herbert, Captain Halstead, and Lieutenant Ward), was 13.8 seconds. The range obtained with the 12-pounder, firing 121 b. solid shot, charge 21b., at 35 deg., was up wards of 10,100 yards ! The exact distance to which the shot was hurled could not be ascertained, as it overshot the extent of dry land range that was available (9,800 yards), and fell into the sea. The time of fight, as observed by the naval offi cers, was stated to be 401 seconds. This is the greatest range and the longest fight that has ever yet been recorded for any projectile fired from any gun. It ought, perhaps, to be stated in justice to both the gunners and the gun, that in many cases the differences in range and deviation that are observ able in the published tables have been, no doubt, fairly attributed to the fact that different qualities of powder were used on the first day, and, in some cases, the sight was put by mistake at wrong ele vations—a circumstance net to be wondered at, when it is remembered that the cannon were for the first time handed over to the Royal Artillerymen and naval gunners, who, though they worked the guns admirably, had never fired a Whitworth gun before. It is not too much to say that the guns have maintained, as far as their practical working goes, the high character they had previously earned with regard to precision, power, and extent of range. THE MBTROpoms GAS BILL. As this bill now stands, it contains, among other provisions, the following :—.The Gas Work Clauses Act of 1847 is incorporated with it, but it is pro posed to be enacted that "it shall not be lawful for any gas company, by the application of any of their profits or funds, to make up to the prescribed rate, or the rate of 10 per cent, where no such rate shall be prescribed, any dividend which shall have been payable more than six years previously." The dis tricting of the metropolis by the companies is pro posed to be sanctioned, and coloured maps of the several districts are to be deposited with the respec tive clerks of the peace of the counties of Middlesex, London, Surrey, and Kent; and should the con sumers be dissatisfied with the manner in which such districting is carried out, on a requisition signed by twenty consumers, the Secretary of State for the Home Department shall be empowered to appoint parties who shall investigate the cause of complaint and report thereon, and such report the Secretary of State has power to see enforced. The same autho rity will have power, on the requisition of any local board or vestry, or on a memorial signed by twenty householders, to appoint inspectors to inquire into any complaints that may b e ma d e as t o t h e distri bution, the quantity, and quality of the gas. Any company disobeying any order of the Secretary of State for the Home Department will be liable to a penalty of £5O for every offence. By the 15th clause the companies are compelled to lay down pipes and supply any consumer with gas, provided his dwelling door is within fifty yards of the pipes of the company, and shall also be bound to supply him with a meter s for which the company will not be permitted to charge more than ten per cent. rental on the net cost of the meter ,• and if the com pany fail to supply gas after being required, within fourteen lau s e 2 5 d ays from t h e appl i cat i on, t h ey will be liable to a penalty of 40s. for every day ' s delay. c regulates the a moun t o f illuminat ing power of gas. It is pr oposed to be enacted that gas taken one thousand y ards from the works shall be of such quality as to produce from an Argand burner, having fift een holes and a seven inch chimney consuming fi ve cubic feet of gas an hour, a light equal in intensity to the light pro duced by not less than twelve sperm Candles of. six to the pound, each burning one hundred and twenty grains per hour. Clause 27 provides that local authorities shall have power to appoint inspectors or examiners, for the purpose of testing the quality , and quantity of the gas, and to investigate com plaints, and give these bodies power to pay these examiners for their services. By the 40th clause it is proposed to be enacted that the companies shall be permitted to charge 4s. 6d. per 1,000 cubic feet for gas ; but that they cannot increase the price without giving a month's notice to the consumer, in order to allow the consumer to appeal to the Secretary of State for the Home Department, who will be empowered to institute an inquiry as to whether there is any just reason for raising the price, but in no case shall any company, under any circumstances, be allowed to charge more than ss. 6d. per 1,000 cubic feet for common gas, and 7s. 6d. for cannel gas. Such are some of the chief provisions of the bill as it no w s t an d s i n th e H ouse of Lords. The delegates and Sir John Shelley have not been able to obtain all that is required on the part of the consumers, but they have compelled the companies to grant infinitel y more th an was ex pected when the oppos i tion against the companies commenced. FAMILIES OF SOLDIERS SERVING IN I N D IA , Her Majesty' s Emigratiou Couttuissioners have given notice of their intention to receive tenders to-morrow for a vessel to convey the wives and families of soldiers serving in India from either Liverpool, Plymouth, or Southampton, on the 27th proximo, to C . alcut a. Fifteen superficial feet of space will be required in the between decks for each pas senger over three years of age, and half that space for each child between one and three ; children between one and 12 are to receive only half the rations of an adult. THE ASTRONOMICAL EXPEDITION TO NORTH HIMALAYA STEAMSHIP, JULY 28. The Himalaya left Santander at 5.45 a.m. on the 26th, and anchored opposite the villages of San turce and Algorta at 9 a.m., in order to receive from Bilboa the remainder of the astronomers and their instruments. Here many Spaniards came on board to examine this noble vessel. At 6.30 p.m. the Himalaya again steamed out of Bilboa Bay for Eng• land, finally anchoring off Portsmouth at 4 p.m. on the 28th, having run this distance in 45 hours and 30 minutes. — The lights of Ushant were sighted on the 27th, at balf-pust 9 p.m., and the English coast seen at 6.10 a.m. of the 28th ; at 6.45 a.m. opposite Start Point ; at 10.30 sighted Portland Bill ; at 12.50 p.m. sighted the Isle of Wight; at 2.45 opposite the Needles; 3 p.m. off Hirst Castle, and at 3.48 her Most Gracious Majesty Queen Victoria steamed past the Himalaya in the royal yacht.- Yesterday a Council of astronomers was held on board the Himalaya in the Bay of Biscay, when the following resolutions were passed : Proposed by Mr. DE LA RUE, and seconded by M. STRUVE,— " 1. That the thanks of the Himalaya Expedition be given to the Spanish authorities for their great kindness and liberality." Proposed by Mr. DE LA RUE, and seconded by M. BONOMI,— " 2. That the thanks of the Expedition bo given to Mr. C. Vignoles and the engineers and directors of the Bilboa Railway." Proposed by Mr. LASSELL, and seconded by Mr. E. J. LOWE,— "3. That similar thanks be given to Mr. Mould, Mr. -Philip Sewell, and the directors of the San tander and Alar Railway." Proposed by the ASTRONOMER ROYAL, and seconded by Captain dAcon,— " 4. That the thanks of the Expedition be given to Captain Seccombe and the officers of the Hima laya for their great kindness and attention." Proposed by M. STRUVE, and seconded by Mr. STANISTILEET,— _ _ " 5. That the Himalaya Expedition desire to record their gratitude to the Astronomer Royal for the origination of the expedition and for his un wearied exertions to secure its success." The Expedition has been a most important one, and the immense number of observations made will prove of inestimable value to science. The astronomers having now returned, we are enabled to give an account of tke different stations selected by the various observers, which will at once show how completely the central line of the eclipse has been dotted over with astronomers, and to what learned men such important observations have been entrusted : At Briviesea were M.

PUBLIC ALLOWANCES FOR HOSPITALITIES. In contrast with the shabby treatment of the cap , tains of our men-of-war, of which Sir John Paking ton revealed to the house such disgraceful instances on Tuesday, it is curious to observe how the public deals with the great guns of the Church. The scandalous augmentation, by the Ecclesiastical Commissioners, of the Income of the Dean of York to £l,OOO a year was expressly justified by Mr. Westhead on the ground of the hospitalities incumbent on that dignitary. Indeed, Mr. West head contended that the income of the deanery ought to be doubled to enable its convivialities to expand in the same proportion ; but, the present dean " having a private fortune," the member for York refrains from urging this second and hand some augmentation until the next avoidance of th e office ! The " good private fortunate," however, did not prevent the commissioners from adding £2OO a year to the Hon. and Very Rev. Augustus Duncombe's salary, which was overpaid with the £BOO at which he accepted it. See how much better it is to be a dean than a captain in the navy, where the disbursements for hospitalities must come out of the captain's private pocket as long as there is a guinea in it to sustain the credit of the service and the honour of the nation. If there is one public officer entitled more than another to the most liberal treatment by a country like ours, it is surely the man to whose skill and valour we intrust the glory of our flag, and with it the safety of our commerce; but, on the contrary, it is precisely to this very office that the public behaves with the meanest par simony ; while, to a functionary like a dean, whose very use is a question which we defy the whole Social Science Association to ex plain, there is no limit to the public munificence. The dean or the bishop has only to ask and he re ceives. There exists a commission specially charged with supplying all their wants, nay, often antici pating them ; if the prelate desires a statelier palace, it is built for him ; if the dean would like a few additional hundreds a-year for his table, there is not a moment's hesitation about granting it. No doubt the deanery of York job was done in a corner, but we keep corners for clerical jobs while there is no corner, not even at the Admiralty, where even common justice is done to the officers of our fleet, the services of any one of whom would far out weigh those of all the deaneries in the country. In the House of Commons we are glad to observe that the York job has had few advocates. Mr. Deedes said it ought never to have been done without application to Parliament. Mr. Spooner though it, as all good men do, a most unjusti fiable proceeding while there are incumbents of parishe - s starving on £BO a-year. Sir James Graham disapproved of the augmentation strongly; and Mr. Henley declared "it had done more to shake the confidence of the public in the Ecclesias tical Commission than anything which had occurred for years."—Examiner.

V). STAMPED, sr. IRELAND. DUBLIN, SATURDAY MORNING. THE POPE'S BAD BARGAINS. The Nation—the official Monitear in all things relating to the Pope's Irish army—gives the follow. ing particulars in connexion with the return to Dublin of the 69 prodigal sons who this day week beset the office of the Morning News, in the vain hope of obtaining relief in the hour of tribulation. The ation's version of the whole affair is both amusing and instructive:— " On Sunday last 40 or 50 men arrived in Dublin, returned from Rome. They belonged in all pro bability to the number alluded to by the correspon dent of the Morning News in the letter which we published last week. We must say, however, that, as the facts appear to us at the present moment, grievous wrong was done the poor fellows who came home, purely through ill health, in not sending them home quite apart from, instead of in company with, some of the worse spec,mens of the Irish name—runagates who have very properly been drummed out' in Rome ; who have drank, and blasphemed, and thieved all along the road as badly as if they were English militiamen ; and who origi-• pally succeeded in getting to Rome only by impo sition, roguery, and fraud, from the first step to the last. It was too bad, we repeat, that the poor fellows whom ill health alone, or other equally good cause, compelled to return should not have been kept apart from such refuse as that described; it was still worse that in most cases of those who returned by Civita Vecchia no certificates of character were given, so that the scorn and indignation due only towards the ill-conducted were lett in several in stances to fall indiscriminatingly upon young men as moral, as well-conducted, and as respectable as any in the land. The men who have returned consist of-Ist, about 60, rejected as physically unfit for employment in such a country as Italy ; most of these men bore excellent characters ; a few only—not 10 in all—were objectionable in a moral as in a physical point of view ; 2d, about 20 —chiefly ex-constabulary from one particular dis• trict—of whom it should, in fair play, be said they were fond of ease and turned tail; no charge of bad conduct is made against these, that we have seen, whether civilians or ex-policemen ; 3d, about 30 thorough ruffians, whom even their (unwilling) companions on the road home—as well as those who travelled with them going out—declare to be horrifying blasphemers, whose obscenity of lan guage and open thievery, once they left the Irish shores, was terrible to contemplate. To these three classes may be added, lastly, eight or ten very pre tentious gentry who should never have left the nursery, yet whose exacting, whining, restless, discontented spirit would be allayed only by a' com mission.' It was preferred to show them the door,' even in the teeth of their threats that when they'd get home' they would give accounts most terrible to read. They were told to return, and lie away to their hearts' content. Here we take the opportu nity of correcting a rumour doing grievous wrong to a body of young men ever remarkable for all that is honourable, patriotic, and spirited—the draners' assistants. It has been told that these have been ambitious grumblers, unable to bear hardship, and discontented at not receiving commissions.' This is, we say, a grievous wrong. It is true that the majority of those few who made such claims and threatened to write lying letters were drapers' as sistants ; but the result of particular inquiry we have made is that in proportion to the num ber of them in the brigade no class hes given more general satisfaction. They have borne cheerfully those hardships which have tried the patience of all the men, and given pretext to the discontent of a few. The drapers are intelligent, hardy, cour ageous, and persevering. But the two or three of the class who have broken out have given as much trouble as a dozen of any other. We have applied to the most trustworthy quarters to supply us with a report of the general conduct of the men from each district. Of the ill-conducted men the worst went from Dublin, Kerry, and Limerick city. The men who, on the whole, have given most satisfac tion have been taken from Limerick county, Tippe rary county, and Louth county. We name only those districts from which the largest number emi grated ; but from Tuam, Meath, Galway, Longford, and Wexford, out of a large number emigrated, not a single man that we know of has been reported badly off.' THE DUNGANNON TRAGEDY. Those who recollect the circumstances connected with the dismal tragedy at Dungannon—the mur der of Sergeant INlTlelland and the nearly accom- plished butchery of Sub-Inspector Mathew—will not be surprised that the assassin Holden has been found guilty at the assizes of Tyrone. The cir cumstantial proofs of his guilt were overwhelming, and all the ability and eloquence of his council (Mr. Butt) were thrown away upon the jury, who, how ever, accompanied their verdict with a recommenda tion to mercy on the ground of previous good cha racter; but the judge refused to listen to the re commendation, and sentenced him to be hanged on the 27th of August. Holden was perfectly cool throughout, and requested as a last favour that he might be shot, instead of dying by the rope. The Aorthern Whig of this morning has the following statement in referesce to the trial : " Notwithstanding the atrocity of the crime of ! which the prisoner has now been convicted, a feel ing approaching to sympathy for him was mani fested at the time on account of the circumstances which had led to the perpetration of the horrid deed, and since then the heroic fidelity manifested towards him by his wife has contributed to renew and keep up this sympathy. The unfortunate wo man has, it appears, during the last month, been in daily attendance upon her husband, as far as the gaol regulations would permit, and she begged the whole country round, and raised a considerable sum of money to procure for him the best counsel and advice. The circumstances con nected with the murder were briefly that Holden had become anxious to marry a young woman (his present wife) and had made application for leave to do so ; it being according to the rules of the force that no policeman can marry without the consent of his superiors. While the consideration of his application was pending, it was somehow or other discovered that Holden had been secretly married. On Monday, the sth of December last, he was sum moned to receive the determination of the autho rities in reference to his application. He attended in the barracks, where Mr. Mathews (sub -inspector) intithated to him that his application had been re fused, and that, in consequence of what had taken place in the interval, the determination of the authorities was that he should be removed from Dungannon to Newtonstewart, and reduced from the rank of constable to sub-constable. In the course of that Monday Holden, conceiving in his mind that he had been ill used by M'Clelland_ and Mathews in this matter, wrote a letter to Head constable M'Gowan, breathing a bitter feeling against the sergeant and the sub-inspector. In the course of that evening Al.Clelland was murdered. He and Holden left the police barracks together be tween 6 and 7, and were seen walking on the road and turning into the gate of the Rev. Mr. Quaine's house. Within a minute or two after two shots were heard, and soon after M.Clelland's body was found with two bullet shots in it, and a little aiter the prisoner was met on the road which he had walked with M'Clelland, returning to the barracks, which he left that night between 10 and 11. This, ' with other circumstances sustaining the impression of the prisoner's guilt, was the evidence against the accused. In the appeal made to the jury in behalf of the prisoner the highest legal ability was dis played. Mr. Butt did not injure the case of the accused by treating with levity the strong evidence of guilt ,which had been pro duced against him. He wisely, and for the interest of his client, admitted that the suspi cions against him were strong, bit called on the jury not to convict on suspicions, however strong, nor on anything less ' than clear, unpolluted evidence, free from all doubt.' I don't say there is no suspicion in the case. It is a case of very strong suspicion ; but I tell you, in the sacred name of the law—in the sacred name of justice—that a strong suspicion will not justify a verdict of guilty.' All this masterly eloquence was unavailing. The jury convicted the prisoner of murder, but felt themselves justified in attaching to that verdict a recommenda tion to mercy. The judge pronounced sentence of death. Whatever may be the effect of the recom mendation of the jury, certainly no impartial reader of the trial will call in question the justice of their verdict of guilty.' The trial appears to have been conducted throughout, on the part of all emseerned, with a gravity and seriousness which leave nothing to be regretted i n an y part of the legal a n d j u di c i a l procedure. No exception can be taken to the charac ter or credibility of any one witness produced." DUBLIN, JULY 29. THE FRENCH EMPEROR AND THE IRISH PRESS.

" Sir,--When in a country the press passionately persists in forgetting itself in order to calumniate and misrepresent the intentions of a foreign sove reign, nothing can be more pleasing, or even more consoling, than to see a clever and disinterested writer rise up spontaneously to defend him. You, Sir, have been that writer ; you have had the singular merit, in resisting the general overwhelm ing impulse, to oppose a conscientious judgment to false interpretation, and a calm voice to the clamours of malevolence ; thus success has gradually crowned your efforts, and if the error be not totally destroyed, it is at least already much enfeebled, so much power does truth bestow on him. whom she animates with her inspirations. I have, then, with real satisfaction, submitted various arti cles published in your esteemed journal to the Em peror, and his Majesty entertains for them the sense of gratitude the sincere expression of which he. charges me to address to you. Accept, sir, the as surance of my most distinguished considerations. " The Emperor's Secretary, Chief of the Cabinet, " MOCQUARD. "A. W.

THE CIVIL WAR IN SYRIA. A letter from Constantinople, dated July 18, save The letters from Syria which have reached Con stantinople since the date of my last, add nothing material to the account I then gave of affairs in the Lebanon. On the 4th all fear of a serious disturb- ance in Beyrout would appear to have ceased. The steamer which should bring us more recent intelli- gen ee has not yet arrived. an Sunday evening (15th inst.) each of the Embassies received a telegram from. Smyrna to the effect that a vessel had just entered that port from Beyrout with news of a massacre of 400 Christians at Damascus by the Mussulman population of the town. The 9th is the date assigned to this occurrence, the account of which has been confirmed by information received at the Porte. The American Consul is said to have been wounded. The Consulates of France and Austria were burnt, and their occupants seem to have owed their lives. to Abd-el-Kader, in whose house they took refuge, and who exerted himself to the utmost for the pa cification of the town. The English Consul, Mr. Brandt, was, I believe, not molested. It is impossible to desciibe the dismay which the re . _ _ eeiptof this disastrous intelligence has caused at the Sublime Porte. Not without cause did Ministers Look upon one another in mute and unconcealed ap- prehen - sion. They have troop) in Syria ; and the force in Damascus itself cannot have been inconsi- derable ; but that force is some 30 months in arrears of pay, and has not been wanting in symptoms of disaffection. Not one word of an attempt made by this force to maintain order appears in the telegrams whicr' i t have reached Constantinople , while A - Kader, a foreigner and an exile, is clesciThed as the champion of order in the town. What if the troops, that have been despatched in such numbers since affairs in Syria first took an alarming turn, should prove no more worthy of trust than the soldiers of the army of Arabistan ? It is to be hoped that the receipt of ampler details will serve to reassure us on this point, but I confess I shall be much relieved if our next letters from Aleppo, and one or two of the other large towns, contain no untoward intelli gence. There are some reasons to apprehend that Druses and Maronites have exhausted themselves in the late struggle, only to give way to a more seri ous conflict between Mussulmans and Christians. The official paper has, during recent occurrences in Syria, withheld all information from the public- With a self-delusion little inferior to that which in duces a child to cover his eyes when he would not be seen, the Turkish Government has flattered itself that if no notice of the events which were passing appeared in its own organ, no excitement would. prevail in the public mind, Accordingly, up to yes terday, people have been looking in vain for some information in the columns of the Journal de Con stantinople. Compelled at last by the tide of events to break silence, that paper yesterday published the following paragraphs : "The steamer which arrived at Smyrna, on the 15th, has brought news from Damascus of a most regret table nature. " While the troubles in Mou t Lebanon appear to be subsiding, disorders have broken out in a fresh place.` " In consequence of a collision, which the troops at the disposition of the Governor were it seems. powerless to prevent, a certain number of Chris tians have, according to these despatches, lost their lives, and even some Consular establishments have not been respected. " We still hope that fresh information will ar rive, to mitigate, at least, these events, as disastrous as they were unexpected (aussi eruels qu' imprevus), and we are firmly convinced that the high mission with which Fuad Pasha is charged ; that the ex tended powers that have been given him; that the force, moral and material, at nis disposition, will suffice to bring about a prompt re-establishment of order, after the exemplary chastisement of the guilty." The effect produced here by these few lines has been disproportionate even to the importance of the information conveyed by the telegraph. During the time that battles and massacres were of daily occurrence in the Lebanon, the Government jour nal made no sign, or, at most, made a passing al, lusion to its Syrian correspondent's letters, which it did not publish. Is it to be wondered at if peo ple now say, "matters must be bad indeed when the Journal de Constantinople is constrained to allude to them in this manner ?" Nor is the excite ment, which the conduct of the Government thus tends to aggravate, of little moment. There are those who consider the state of this capital itself highly critical. lam not of the number ; but fears for the safety of the Christian population are en tertained in quarters where sound information should exist, and by persons whose opinions one cannot altogether disregard. During the last few days, and especially through out the whole of yesterday, a confliet between the police and the schismatic Armenians has been im minent. Near the Adrianople Gate of Stamboul is an Armenian cemetery. It has no doubt always been used as a place of interment of the schismatic Armenians. There seems, however, to be as little doubt that Protestant Armenians have been con stantly buried there without opposition or hind rance on the part of the more numerous sect of their fellow-countrymen. On Saturday last the body of an old man, a Protestant Armenian, was carried out for burial. No . previous dispute had, so far as I can ascertain, arisen between the two sects as to their respective rights of sepulture in this cemetery. On the funeral reaching this place, a large number of schismatic Armenians were found assembled there. These declared that they would allow no Protestant to be buried among the remains of members of their own Church. The Pro testants persisted in their intention to proceed with the interment, but were forcibly prevented from so doing. The police were called in to enforce what the authorities would seem to regard as the rights of the Protestants. The mob of schismatic Arme nians increased, and the force of police Tiresent was not sufficient. Throughout Sunday and Monday the body remained on the ground a•gaiting burial, the authorities not deeming it prudent to send_ troops to clear the ground by for , .:e. Throughout the whole of yesterday there w ere between 4,000 and 5,000 persons collected, raid a collision was hourly expected. Matters had then assumed so serious an aspect that Sir Henry Bulwer, who had received repeated communications on the subject, deemed his personal interference necessary. Hi s Excellency proceeded from Therapia in the Ban sbee to Constantinople, w here he had int erv i ews, first, with the Grand V i zier, and subsequently with the Armenian Patriarch. The result was that the, night last to be buried police, 200 of whom were in attendance. These. facts are sig nificant,—in th e fi rst p l ace , because it is certain that, for some political purpose, the sc hi s matic Armenians were put upon behaving as they did ; secondly, as serving to show the extreme reluctance of the Turkish authorities to suffer ever.: the slightest collision between their cr,vn soldiers or police and the Christian population at the pre sent time. Fuad Pasha sailed on Thursday last for Be7rout, where he should have arrived yesterday. RUSSIA AND THE ASIATIC TRIBES. —R 7 issia has exercised great prudence in her conquests amon g the Asiati c tribes ; she has always respected their religion and supersti tion ; and no priests have accompanied her Cot ,sacks. Sh e has thus avoided many difficulties which other powers have fallen into where the soldier and the mis sionary have marched together, From my knowledge of t hese people, I believe it is impossible to make converts an , u ng them. They are not like the Africans, who are but lit' de, more advanced in civilisation than the animals of their p'iaila.s. The Asiatics are descended from a race of conquoro rs ; and their tradi tions extend back into remote ages. I . k tobl ma they are ; but neither pilferers nor pickpockets.
