Two hours . 'fierwards the fire had spread over an extent of half and hundreds of houses were burning at the • same time. The violence of the wind drove the eames with incredible fury towards the different quark rs of the upper town, , and rendered all human. suc, our useless. The nature of the localities, and Abe ifat construction of the old buildings, which' --were greatly agglomerated, with the intense heat, and fie want of water on several points, with the wind, all con tributed to render the disaster complete. A third of the. Turkish town, all the Jews' quarter, several bazaars, amongst which were those of the goldsmiths, the grain dealers, the shoemakers, the sadlers, the confectioners, the clothes'-dealers, the druggists, &c., a great number of mosques, seven synagogues, and nine to ten thousand' houses, were reduced to ashes, and are at this moment only heaps of burning ruins. Several persons have. perished in this horrible catastrophe ; the number is nett: correctly known, butit is estimated at from 30 to 40. As: to the loss, it is incalculable ; it amounts, however, to several millions. It is impossible to give an idea of the ad mirable conduct of the Austrian navy in this cruel circiim stance; it was carried to the extent of heroism. Command ers, officers, sub-officers, sailors, and soldiers, all signal ised themselves, and courageously exposed their lives fox several hours : ail have acquired the same riglit"tO.lhe• eternal gratitude of this place, for what romans :of it was positively saved by them. The Admiral, Was Alie first to set the example, and was repeatedly present at the fire giving his assistance. The French brig. Ale.i blade, which had been compelled to sail on WedneSday evening to give succour to a French merchant vessel, imminent peril at the northern extremity of the island!of Ourlac, hastened to return to Smyrna, where it arils - Pd. in time to send ashore its pump, and part of its cr e w- This assistance was not useless, for the fire broke out; again yesterday evening with some violence, and' the. French sailors, assisted by the Austrians, soon got it under. The detachment of the Alcibiade, which was re lieved every four hours, will remain on the spot until nothing more is to be apprehended. More than twenty thousand persons, without bread and without shelter, are scattered on the heights which dominate the spot where were lately their houses."

A Constantinople Correspondent of the Oriental Ob server writes on the 27th ult.:— The Company will undertake the forwarding of Goods ad dressed to their care, but to secure Freightage early al•plica tion is necessary. This resolution, they hope, will be looked on as laudable on their part, and that it will be countenanced by all who wish to see their countrymen living independently by means of their own honest industry, instead of being de graded into the condition of paupers. Free passages cannot be obtained, however, without the emigrants being properly clothed ; this, for the rea sons stated in the resolutions, it is impossible for the parties to do, and they therefbre have resolved to appeal to her Majesty and the Government, and to their wealthier countrymen, in the humble hope they will be induced to extend their generous aid to them on this occasion.

The following are a few of the numerous testimonials this popular work has received, and which the limits of an adver tisement will only allow of being published : The rage for books in all departments of Science, literature, and the arts, was, we believe, never so prevalent as at the pre sent time. The unavoidable consequence of this is, that we meet a very considerable proportion of indifferent, useless, and even bad books. With the force of this prejudice on our minds, we with no little reluctance were induced to peruse •Messrs. Curtis's work, entitled "Manhood ;" nor did it re quire much perusal fully to satisfy us that th e book was not one of the common stamp. The scientific views taken by the authors of the source and origin of many of the most distressing effects of certain depraved habits, fully establish their claim to the character of experienced and judicious surgeons. To quote passages from the work in proof of our assertion would be departing from the established rules of the daily press. The result, however, of our careful perusal of the work, has been to impress us with a thorough confidence in the talent and skill of the authors, and to satisfy us that those entrusted with the care of youth are not a little indebted to them for fur nishing them with a means of preventing some of the most frightful maladies to which flesh is heir.—Old England. Messrs. Curtis's work, entitled " Manhood," is one of the few books now coming befor the public on such a subject which can lay claim to the character of being strictly professional, at the same time that it is fully intelligible to all who read it. The moral and medical precepts given in it, render it invalu able.—Magnet. The perusal of Messrs. Curtis's book entitled " Manhood," has really astonished us by developing &series of maladies, the [Ode through consequence of the vicious habit of which it HORSE.—We ode through the beds treats.

At Paisley, and within the Philosophical Hall there, the 10th day of August, 1841 years. At a numerous meeting of the unemployed opera tives of Paisley, and principally those who have been for some time working in the Town's Quarry, at Seed hill, and at other out-door labour, and who are paid out of the Relief Fund,—Mr. Wm. MORRISON in the Chair. • The Meeting having been convened for the purpose of taking into consideration the expediency of emigrating to Port Philip or SYtney—free passages -, ~aving been of fered-to all eligible parties by one or other-4 the bounty ships to sail from the Clyde during the present and en suing months of September and October, provided the parties can procure adequate clothing, or outfits for the voyage—the following resolutions were adopted : First—That from the embarrassed state of trade and manufactures in the town of Paisley, and throughout the country generally, the meeting see no probability of a return of employment—at least for a long time—where by they might be enabled to earn an adequate subsist ence for themselves, and wives, and children; and, there fore, that rather than remain at home dependent on the charity of others, in the shape of subscriptions and as sessments for relief of the unemployed, it is infinitely bet ter for all concerned that they should transfer their in dustry to one or other of the above mentioned Colonies, where there is a great demand for labour, and where the services of labouring men are consequently better re warded than at home. Second—That the meeting avail themselves of the opportunity of obtaining free passages by one or other of the bounty ships which will sail from the Clyde during the present season,and that they use every exertion to for ward the necessary Certificates, on or before the Ist Sep tember next, after which time the Colonial Land and Einigration) Commissioners have intimated no applica tions or certificates will be registered or received. Third—That it is necessary that each emigrant be provided with proper clothing for the voyage. But as, from the long period of want of employment and poverty into which the - unemployed operatives of Paisley have been thrown—their best clothing having been either sold or pawned—it is impossible that the parties can clothe themselves at their own expense, or from their own resources, and that an appeal be made therefore to her Majesty the Queen, to her Majesty's Government, and to Lord Melbourne and the other individual mem bers of tlie Cabinet, and to the noble and wealthy of the land, in the hope that they will regard the resolution of the meeting as a praiseworthy attempt on their part to lift themselves from a state of poverty and dependence, to one in which they will be enabled to earn an honest and independent subsistence, and at the same time, free their native country from the burden of supporting them, while they will contribute to the extension of her Majesty's colonial empire, and to the glory of her reign, which like that of her-illustrious predecessor, Elizabeth, will be promoted by giving encouragement to all measures of emigration and colonization. Fourth—That this appeal to her Majesty and the Government is necessary, because, from the numerous bankruptcies and• insolvencies which haie happened in the town, and the depressed state in which the town and neighbourhood are—anything like a local appeal for assistance would be quite in vain. The meeting under stand that the Committee having the management of the Relief Fund, have resolved on making an appeal to the nation at large on behalf of their unemployed towns men, but the meeting are respectfully of opinion that it is much better that any assistance should be extended to them in the way they now ask, in respect the commu ttitT.willbe for this purpose Atiiin g thetfigiiiiik winier woad liire - SC: teed what is requisite for clothing them for the voyage to Port Philip or Sydney. Fifth—That at the lowest computation it will take 41. per head to clothe the intending emigrants, and counting them at 250 as the complement of one ship, the sum of 1,000/. will therefore be required for the clothing and outfit. Sixth—That Mr. Hastie, M.P. for Paisley,Mr. Patrick Maxwell Stewart, M.P. for the county, and the Hon. Viscount Kelburne, M.P. for Ayrshire, be respectfully requested to use their influence in support of the views of the meeting, and that the following Committee be ap pointed to correspond with them, and prepare addresses to her Majesty, and to Lord Melbourne, and the other members of her Majesty's Government, viz.— WILLIAM MORRISON, Chairman. ALEXANDER CHISHOLM, JAMES MACINTOSH, PETER MACINTOSH, DANIEL CAMPBELL, ANDREW WEIR. " Seventh—That it be intimated in the applications for subscriptions, that all sums subscribed be transmitted to. John Scott, Esq., Banker, Paisley, who, along with Pro vost Bisset, will take care of the money, and see ,to its proper application: Eighth—That the Chairman subscribe all communica-; tions on . behalf of the Meeting, or thosewho are enrolled for free passages, under the direction of the Committee, who shalt see that none be enrolled unless properly qualified.

THREE THURSDAYS IN ONE WEEK. (From an old MS. in French.) Of all the paradoxes there is none more surprising or more calculated to distnrb the mind than that which as: serts the possibility of having three Thursdays in one week. It is, notwithstanding, possible, and during the last century it was demonstrated more than once. Cir cumnwirigators in their voyages round the, world have discovered the fact. The ancients never entertained an idea of the possibility of such a thing. It was a matter of astonishment to seamen sailing Eastward round the world, to find on their return to the place from whence they commenced their voyage that they had gained a day. It was Thursday with them, and Wednesday at the place of their arrival. On the contrary, those who sailed WeiA: ward round the world, counted on their return, one day less to have passed than those did who had continued all the while at the place from whence the ship set out, so that it was Wednesday with the circumnavigators, and Thursday at the place of their arrival. As the pilots and others kept journals, and paid strict attention to every occurrence during the voyage, they were in the first instance at a loss to account for the difference they found between the journals of those who sailed East, and those who had taken a Westerly course. They accused each other of negligence, and the dispute led to a strong contest. Several, able mathematicians at last discovered the cause. They found that the difference in time was occasioned by the laws of nature, and not the fault of navigators: The reason will be easily seen. Every 15 degrees upon the equator is equal to one hour of time, and the vessel sailing East is always approaching sun rising. When they have sailed fifteen degrees East from the meridian of London, it will be noon one hour sooner than with those of London. When they reach- the meridian of Cairo, thirty degrees East of Lon don, they will have noon two hours sooner than those at London, and so on in the same pro portion. Every meridian they arrive at will bring the natural day one hour sooner than at London, so that when they have gone quite round the globe, and return ed to London again, they will have gone 360 degrees, and it will be noon, according to their reckoning, 24 hours or a whole day sooner than to those who stay at London; or, Thursday with them when it is but Wednesday noon in England. On the other hand, if a ship set out from London and sails westward, when they come to the meridian of the Canary Islands, 15 degrees west of Lon don, their noon will be an hour later than at London. At 30 degrees west, it will be noon two hours later than at London, and when they get round to London again through the 24 meridians, their natural day will be 24 hours later than at London, or Wednesday noon with them whilst it is Thursday noon at London. In this affair it is not necessary a ship should go round the globe upon the equator, it is sufficient if she passes through the several meridianS as all navigators must who go round the globe eastward Or westward. For example : suppose a traveller embarks at Rochelle to go to the East Indies, when he shall arrive at the distance of 180 degrees East longitude, half the cir cumference of the earth, it will be midni g ht th ere and noon at Rochelle. It follows that, in making the whole circle of the globe, he will gain twenty-four hours upon the day at Rochelle. If it is Wednesday at Rochelle when he returns, it will then be Thursday with him. The next day is Thursday at Rochelle ; thus there are two Thursdays in a week. To find a third in this same week, we must despatch another navigator to sail from East to West. When he has reached 180 degrees of longitude he will find himself opposite to that of Ro chelle, and it will be Tuesday midnight when they will have noon of Wednesday at Rochelle. And, as the thing is very possible, if those who sailed East and those who sail should•ent meet at Rochelle, th e y wou ld fi n d a difference y-four hours betwe en th e i r rec k on i n g. ed 'Jestof ta The Wednesday at Rochelle is Thursday for those who went to the East, because they gained a day. Secondly, the Friday of Rochelle is Thursday to those who sailed West, because . they have lost a day. '1 he Thursday at according to time, there • are three Thursdays in one week. Rochelle is the third. Thus, MANCHESTER, TUESDAY, AUG. 17.—The great Con ference of the Ministers of Religion on the subject of the Corn-law and other monopolies affecting the food of the people, commenced this day. From the first an nouncement of the intention to hold a meeting so novel in its character, and bearing upon so highly important a subject, a large share of public attention has been at tracted to it ; and as the period of its assembling proached, the interest with which it was regarded appeared to increase rather than diminish, it being con sidered that the deliberations of so inflUential a body of men, and their publicly-declared opinion as the result of such deliberations, were likely to produce a powerful impl'ession on the country. The number of replies fa-. vourable to the object of the Conference which were received by the Committee, surpassed the expectations of the most sanguine. Up to Saturday evening no fewer than 650 clergymen had announced their inten tion of -being present at the Convention ; an d it ma y be mentioned, as a proof of the great interest—we might almost say the enthusiasm—which the people of Man chester felt on the subject, that many of the most respect able families in the town vied with each other in offering the Reverend Gentlemen accommodation in their houses; in addition to which an excellent dinner will be provided daily at Mr. Hewitt's splendid Adelphi Hotel. This morning the members of tha Conference assem bled in the Town-hall, and the benches were completely filled. At ten o'clock the Rev. Mr. FLETCHER said it would be necessary to appoint a Provisional Chairman, in order that a Provisional Committee might be appoint ed, whose duty it would be to fix upon gentlemen to till the offices of Chairmen, Vice-Chairmen, and Committee men for managing the affAirs of the Conference. He, therefore, moved that the Rev. Dr. Cox should take the Chair. The Rev. Mr. BEAMISALL seconded the motion, which was carried unanimously. The Provisional Chairman having taken bts scat, The Rev. Mr. M'lCEnaow moved, "That the !Mowing gentlemen be appointed the Provisional Committee : Revs.: Thomas Spencer, of Hinton • J .11. Beard, of Manchester ; James Gwyther, of Udine ; James Grif fin, of Manchester ; G. Peters, of Rochdale; Robert Hal ley, D.D. ' of Manchester • ' W. Fraser, of Bolton ; Hinton, of Dewsbury ; R. W.

Poore, of Manches ter ; Thomas Lee, of Sutton-in-Ashfield ; John Thorn ton, of Stockport ; Fras. Skinner, of Blackburn ; W. Chaplin, of Bishop's Stortford ; Thomas Scales, of Leeds ; G. G. Pike, of Derby ; Sibree ; Richard Fletcher, of Manchester; and W. M`Kerrow, of Man chester." The Rev. Mr. GwYTHER - seconded the motion. which was carried unanimously, and the Committee retired. The Rev. Mr. M‘KEnnow then stated, that out of 1,500 replies which the Committee had received, only six were decidedly opposed to : the object of the meeting: about an equal number expressed doubts upon the subject ; whilst the vast remainder were decidedly in favour of the obj e ct. The meeting, however, would be disappointed at not seeing several eminent persons who had promised to at tend, but were prevented at the eleventh hour by various circumstances, but chiefly indisposition. The Reverend gentleman then read letters from the Rev. Dr. Chalmers, the Rev. Mr. Bunting, the Rev. Mr. Hugh, of Glasgow, the Rev. Mr. Reid, of London, expressing their concur rence in the object of the meeting. The Provisional Committee having returned, The Rev. Mr. SPENCER, of Bath, read the following resolutions to which they had come " That the following Gentlemen be requested to act as the officers of the . Conference during its sitting, viz. : " . President for each day :—Revs.: Akins ; W. Chaplin, of Bishop's Stortford ; F. A. Cox, D.D., of Hackney ; T. Spencer, of Hinton. " That the following Gentlemen be appointed the Ex ecutive Committee :—Revs. Thos. , Scales. of Leeds ; Brown • R. W. Hamilton, of Leeds ; Jas. Acworth, of Bradford ; Hinton, of Dewsbury ; J. Carlile, of Hackney ; F. Beardsall, of Manchester ; Jones ; James Gwyther, of Manchester; Robert Halley,. D.D., of Manchester ; George Payne,. D.D., of Exeter ; J. L. Poore, of 'Manchester ; J. Barfit, of Salisbury ; So merville Bowen ; J. Kelly, of Liverpool ; Giles ; J. 13irt, of Liverpool ; S. Laidler, of Harleston, Norfolk ; J. M. Obery, M.A., of Halifax ; W. loaf, of Wigan ; G. G.

Beard, D.D., of M inchester ; Harvey, of Glasgow ; of Paisley ; Brenton, of Paisley ; Border, of Stroud ; Lewis, of Rochdale ; Thomas Thomas, of Pontypool ; and Davis, of Carmarthen College." The Rev. Dr. Cox then resigned the chair to The Rev. Dr. ATKINS, who addressed the meeting in an eloquent speech. , lie said that at no period of his life had he found himself placed in a situation of greater responsibility than at atlit "F.eflosia , ;tionl . bis- Wthairtithe Witri:a . ll the pomp and cilditlll§.§.inods and liar to such assemblies, but the present meeting was un precedented and unparalleled. Ministers of Christ from all parts of the empire, not in hostile array, sect against sect, and party against party, within the narrow lines of sectarian demarcation, but occupied with an object greater than which could ardly engage the minds of the most eminent Christians. They had met at the call of suffering humanity, which reached their ears, net from a foreign - land, but from the green valleys and popu lous streets of their own beloved land. At the outset, however, they were met by the question, " What have Christian men, and, above all, Christian Ministers, to do with temporal politics ?" But when they became the denizens of another kingdom, were they to abandon the duties of this ? It was not necessary, when they became. Christians, that they should cease to be men. For his own part, he would have considered himself a traitor both to religion and humanity had he refused to obey the summons to attend the meeting. -What was the present Situation of the empire ? Here was a country great in arts and in arms—the school of science and literature—the mart of literature—the cradle of luxury—the emporium of the moral world—occupying the highest position amongst surrounding nations, and shedding its light over the most distant lands. Yet this country, possessing . within itself inexhaustible resources, whilst it was the richest in the world, was, in one,sensc, also the poorest. Its population, instinct as it was with ardour, and unrivalled for its industry, was unemployed and in want. Looms were silent—manufactories were closed —commercial men-looked at each other in consternation and despair l.What was the condition of the poor artisans and peasants? Their lank arms hung idle by their sides —their grim visages were pallid with privation and care —and their worn forms exhibited but the skeletons of men. What is the cause of such a state of things ? It was to be found in the laws which prohibit the exchange of labour for food. Our population see abundance in the countries around them, but they are debarred from enjoying it. Like the poor disciples of a poorer Master, they shake their tattered garments, and sing " Gold and silver have we none, but we will purchase your c6rn by our industry." It was to put an end to such an unwise and unnatural system as this that they were assembled— to put an end to it, not by violence or clamour, but by means equally scriptural and constitutional. The moral atmosphere was charged with thunder clouds. If the tempest burst upon the country, it would carry desola tion in its tract. It was the part of the wise to furnish a conductor by means of which the danger might be averted. The eyes of the country were turned upon Manchester. It was necessary, therefore, that 'those assembled should stand clear of all imputation, and it was most desirable that they should avoid committing themselves to any dis tinctive line of party politics, which might compromise them in public opinion. Let them adhere firmly to prin ciple, but avoid giving offence to any one—uniting to the courage of the lion the gentleness of the lamb.—[This speech was much applauded in the course of its delivery.] Dr. PIE Sintrit followed with an energetic appeal to the sympathies of his audience. He contended that the Corn-laws were a part of that vicious system of legisla tion which had its origin in the night of ignorance and barbarism. Some persons objected to take part in the proceedings of the Conference because they said it was interfering in a matterof fiscal regulation. Such ought not to be received. He protested against the doctrine that ministers of religion ought not to interfere with poli tics. The alternative now presented to the country was this, the removal of iniquity, or the ruin of the nation. The Reverend Gentleman concluded a powerful address amidst considerable approbation. The Rev. Mr. Masser and the Rev. IV. Fletcher also shortly addressed the meeting, after which the Confer ence, it being one o'clock, was adjourned till half-past four o'clock. At that hour business was resumed, the Rev. Mr. At kins in the chair. The CHAIRMAN then took the sense of the meeting as to whether Mr. Cobden, M.P., should be introduced to address the Conference on the part of the Anti-Corn-law League, and an unanimous vote having been carried in the affirmative, Mr. Cobden presented himself amidst general applause, and proceeded to address the meet ing with Ins accustomed ability, detailing a variety of important facts bearing upon the question under con sideration. The Conference assembles again to-morrow. MERITED RETORT.-Madame D. had a 'nag nificant cat. M. de C. amused himself one day by killing it, for want of something else to shoot. Madame D. outted to be set in her own house, and in the houses of her friends, all sorts of mouse-traps ; and when three or four hundred mice were caught, she had them put into a box, which was forwarded to Madame de C. at her country-house. The lady eagerly opened the box herself, expecting to find in it some new modes ; the mice jumped out and presently filled the house ; while at the bottom of the box was found a note directed to Madame de C.:—" Madame, your husband has killed my cat—l send you my mice."—Alphonse Karr. SUPPOSED MURDER AT STRANTON, NEA R HARTLEPOOL. --On Tuesday last, the body of a female was found floating in the Hartlepool Dock, supposed to have been murdered. It appears that her husband, with whom she had quarrelled on the previous evening, is an excavator, residing at Stranton. As soon as a report was spread that the woman had been discovered under the above circumstances, the man stated that it would, no doubt, be his wife. This expression excited a suspicion that she had come to her death by unfair means, and t h e man was immediately taken into custody. The par ticulars of the • affair have pot yet transpired,—/Vvthe ,- n Times. , , " Said Bey and Sami Bey have been occupied during the past week in paying and receiving visits. They were yesterday presented to the Sultan, who received them with marked urbanity. The son of Mehemet Ali is of the middle size, but enormously stout for so young a man. On Saturday last the Kapi Kehaya (Charge d'Af faires) of the Paella of Egypt gave the illustrious visit (Ts a grand dinner, and we hear that on Thursday next the Minister of Finance will give another, to which all the great Pashas of the capital are invited to meet his guests. Not a word is yet said regarding the main object of the visit of Said Bey. Both the Egyptian steamers, the Nile and the Reschid, continue to lie in our port. On Saturday M. Christides, the Greek Minister, had his audience of leave of the Sultan. He Was accompanied to the palace by M. Ar ghiropulo, whom he presented to his Highness as the gentleman who is to remain as Charge d'Affaires of the Hellenie Govermient. The same day the weekly Coun cil was assembled at the Porte, and on Sunday all the members went in a body, on the occasion of their new organisation, to pay their respects to the Sultan, who in an animated sp?ech expressed his hope that they would succeed in devising measures for the amelioration of the state of the empire. He urged them to unite, hand and heart, and not to be discouraged by any difficulties that might arise. The health- of the Sultan is much improved, and he applies himself strenuously to business. The steamer Polyphemtis . arrived - here on the 22d, with Sir John M`Neill, Sir William Symonds, Colonel Barnett, and an engineer sent by the Government to su perintend the reconstruction of the British palace, which was burnt down in the great fire of 1831, and has re mained in statu quo ever since. The Polyphemus pro ceeds on Thursday next to convey Sir John M‘Neill and suite to Trebisonde, whence his Excellency will hasten via Erzeroom to the Court of Persia. On her return from the Black S.ca. she sill receive on • board Colonel Barnett, her Majesty's Consul-General for Egypt, and take him down to Alexandria. Mr. Wood, the Consul for Damascus, is still here, but is shortly to set out for Syria in a ship of war. We hear that her Majesty's Go vernment has determined on sending out as jeunes de langue two young gentlemen who are to be instructed in the Tur kish language, with a view of serving, hereafter as interpre ters.. Nothing could be more judicious. France,Austria,and Russia,have dragomans of their own nation, and we see no reason Why Englishmen should not be able to learn the language as well-as others. ' Indeed we have proofs not only that they can, but that they pronounce Turkish much better than, most other foreigners. By the com mercial steamer arrived this morning from Odessa we learn that several 'stoppages had taken place there ; among others, the house of Eslinger for 400,000 roubles; and Isais for 200,000, roubles.. We. have not heard if they affect the Levant, but may state that in general failures' in Europe do not, for this reason, that the Levant is always indebted to Europe, and has very seldom any capital there to lose." Extract of a letter from Constantinople, 27th ult., in the Malta Times : " The Turkish steamer Paiki-chevket, which a short time since arrived here from Candia, whence she was sent by the Capudan Pacha with a report of the condi tion of the island and insurgents, and asking instructions how to proceed, left here on the 15th for La Canee. It is generally believed that the Capudan Pacha is or dered to come to a compromise with the insurgents, and by granting them certain privileges* and immunities to endeavour to put an end to hostilities there, The new Ministry has issued a firman, which was read in all the principal mosques, requiring the Turkish women to wear their veils so as to conceal their features, and ano ther ordering all Franks to leave the Turkish quarters where they may have obtained residence. Mr. Wood, her Majesty's Consul for Damascus recently appointed, has not yet sent out for that place. In consequence of the sanctity which is attached to Damascus, by Mussul mans in general, the Porte refuses to grant him any Beret or Exequatur, and, as he declines receiving a yizieral letter (or letter of recommendation to the Go vernor), he will therefore depart without any official document making him known in his new capacity. His diplomatic talents, knowledge of the Arabic language, and Arabian customs, will, however, go far. towards making him respected. Mr. Wood is the only Dragoman of our Embassy who has received an English education, and, though he well merits the Consulate of Damascus, and will fill it with credit to himself and ho nour to his country, still he can be ill-spared from the Embassy. He carries with him the best wishes of his countrymen in Pera and Galata." rem tne Wliailt of the 30th.) CANEA, JULY 19.—A correspondent from this place, and on the above date, thus addresses us. We extract the following from his letter with considerable pleasure:— " Since my last the whole of the island has submitted, with the'exception of the strong and mountainous district of Sfakia. Mustapha Pacha, after having disarmed • all those who have submitted, is now on his march to the principal passage into Sfakia. From the best accounts it appears that the Christian Greeks now assembled in Sfakia cannot amount to more than 3,000 men ; their position is certainly very strong, but when we consider that the troops of Mustapha Pacha now amount to 14,000 men, what chance have the Greeks of succeeding ? t‘ He will, it is said, attack them on the 21st, in four different parts, and Tahir Pacha will sail from Suda to-, morrow for the south part of the island, in consequence of a report which is generally credited, of the long wished-for succours having at length arrived for the Greeks, in the shape of five large armed brigs. "'Tahir Pacha has received positive orders from the Sublime Porte not to allow the consuls or commanders to mediate in any shape Whatever, unless to make the insur gents lay down their arms as aeon as possible. • " The Didon, French frigate, from Athens, sailed for Toulon to-day. " We have in the port of Soda the Benbow, Tyne, and Vesuvini steamer, with the Minerve and Andro mide French frigates. A great deal of correspondence has taken place between the insurgents and the comman ders, but without leading to any satisfactory result." NOTE ADDRESSED TO THE CONSULS OF THE THREE GREAT POWERS. - Gentlemen—The -undersigned, on the part of the Christian people of Candia, have the honour to request you, in the name of your august Sovereigns, and in the name of humanity and Christianity, to grant them an terview, with proper security, in any place you may judge convenient. The object of the interview asked for is, that by your interposition an arrangement may be made to settle the present melancholy state of the island, and we can assure you that the people will irrevocably conform to any just decision that you, the representatives of the three Great Powers, and the commanders of the ships or war united, may make. In consequence, we hope that you will be pleased not to refuse this interview,. which we ask in the name of humanity, and in favour of general peace, conformably to the principles of your august Sovereigns, and we are the more sanguine in this hope, that we accompany this request, as already said, with the assurance that the people will receive with eagerness any just decision that you, gentlemen, may make. Waiting iu this expectation, we have the honour to be very respectfully (Signed) A. CHARETIS, C. RUSSOS, N. BISTACHI. ! , tfakia, 30th June, 1841 (old style). The Malta Times publishes a letter from a correspon dent in Candia, dated 16th ult., which states, that the accounts of the cruelties committed by the Turkish troops in the insurgent villages have not been exagge rated; and, in support of this assertion quotes some do cuments drawn up by the Candiotes which, if true, would show that the brutality of the soldiery towards the young women and boys, had surpassed all credulity. These do cuments, which are too long, and in many respects unfit for publication, are dated as far back as the 22d June, since which period contradictions of these cruelties have reached us from the most respectable and almost official sources on the Turkish side. We are, therefore, still in clined to hope that some over -statement or misrepresen tation has existed with regard to this affair. The follow ing is an extract from the letter above alluded to : " The news of these unhappy occurrences reached here on the 27th ult. an d chilled every one with horror. His Excellency Tahir Pacha sailed immediately for Candia, where he spent two or three 'days, and on his return denied every one of the circumstanc es ; but as letters continually come from respectable mercantile houses in that city, and from the Consular Ag ent as well as from some other European residents there, all of which confirmed these lamentable events, Capt. Houston Ste wart, the Senior Officer commanding the British forces in the Archipelago, ordered her Majesty's frigate Tyne, Capt. Towshend, taking on board t h e E n glish Consul, to go down and investigate the affair, and re p ort the truth. A French man-of-war also went for the same purpose, and all returned agreeing in the confirmation of the same statements, and bringing back documents signed by the suffering villages to the same effect. They also saw some of the women who had suffered the most brutal outrages and treatment from the Turkish soldiers. On the report of these officers being made public, his Excellency went a second time to Candia to inquire into the affair, and returned confirming his original assertion, that not the least disorder had occurred. But of what use is it to conceal these facts ? They are confirmed by the united testimony of the English and French officers, the Consular Agents resident at Candia, and most re spectable Greek merchants, independently of every other class of the people." SMYRNA. (From the Smyrna Journal.) A dreadful calamity has just visited the town of Smyrna, and plunged twenty thousand of its inhabitants in desolation and misery. A terrible fire, such as in the memory of man was never known in this country, has destroyed, in the space of eighteen hours, nearly half the town, and wholly ruined twenty thousand persons. The fire broke out on Wednesday at midnight, in a coffee- EGYPT. 'We have received advices from Alexandria to the 26th ult., but they contain no political intelligence of inter-at. A Correspondent writes on that date : " The othet day all the J une overland reached this place too late to proceed to England in the Oriental steamer, though they arrived at Suez on the morning of the 15th of July, and the Oriental departed hence on the, morning of the 20th. The passengers - state that their disappointment is to be attributed either to Messrs. Hill and Co. not having adequate means. or to their negligence. I have also this moment learned that of the 22d July passengers per Oriental for India only four reached Suez in time for the steamer there. The other., among whom were several ladies, were iefr. at station-houses in the desert, two of the party suffering from a coup de Soleil. Had there been such nienas of conveyance as are promised and advertised by Messrs. Hill and Co., both parties would have reached in time to embark in the steamers, with at least 24 hours to spare.' SYRIA. From Syra (29th ult.) we learn that two British ships of war had arrived from Candia having on board the English Consul ; also 300 or 400 men, Greeks and strangers, who had left Candia. Disorders continue to afflict the neighbourhood of Beyrout and the mountains. The Government couriers are stopped. A relative of Selim Pacha has beem severely wounded. The plague is still at Damascus. Three ships of war are lying off Beyrout. MALTA. (From the Malta Papers.) " The Acheron, which left Gibraltar on the 26th ult., arrived here on the Ist instant. The Iberia left on Tues day for the lonian Islands. In the roads of Suda (Can dia) are the Benbow, the Tyne, and Vesuvius, and the two French.frigates the Minerve and the Andromede- The Hazard had proceeded to the same place. At Gibraltar are the Thunderer, the Jaseur, and the Lizard steamgender. It is said that a division of five ships of the line are to remain in Malta harbour, waiting the orders of the new Government. It is also rumoured that two ships of the line ire to be stationed in the harbour of Alexandria during the winter, and in Aboukir Bay during the summer season. " The Implacable, now in port, is under orders to proceed to Tunis the first change of wind to watch the French division off there. On the 25th ult., Captains: Maunsel, of the Rodney, Sir Samuel Roberts, of the CalcUtta, and Commander Warden,_of the Medea, paid _ their respects to his Highness the Paella, who having expressed a wish to go over to a British ship of the line, had immediately offered to him the Medea, to convey him, at his pleasure, on board the Rodney, which it is expected he will avail himself of. From Syria we learn that a-malignant fever has followed the cessation of the plagto throughout that country, and is not only com mitting. ravages among the Turkish troops, but has also attacked the British sappers and miners at Caiffa, of whom four have already fallen victims to it. The re li4nder of the detachment has been removed to Beyrout for chancre of air, and it is supposed will be shipped thence for England very shortly." EXPRESS FROM PARIS. FRANCE. date. The Semaphore of llatsciutP,ric._ of TueSday's Tuesday morning, and contains the same Chinese intelli gence which we gave on Tuesday, and says that it was re ceived from its Correspondent at Alexandria. Several English cargoes landed on the 10th were seized by the Chinese police, in violation of the Treaty con cluded with Captain Eliot and the other commanders. The census continues to create much opposition from the municipal councils throughout France. Orleans and Montpelier have protested against it ; the Municipal Council of Paris had entered a resolution to the same effect. At Agen a riotous tumult broke out on the 12th; the hotel of the Prefect had been attacked by a consider able mob, but well defended by the military: The Memorial Bordelais states that order was again disturbed in Bordeaux in the evening of the 14th instant. The rioters broke a nurnber of lampS, and wounded seve ral soldiers with stones. The National Guard reluct antly turned out, and restored order.- A telegraphic despatch received in Paris on Monday announced that everything was perfectly quiet in Bor deaux on the 15th, in consequence of efficient measures having been taken by the authorities. At Cahors the people resisted on the 12th the execu tion of the fiscal measures ordered by M. Humann, and the revenue officers, although assisted by the Mayor, were obliged to discontinue their operations. The census, which was to have been resumed in Tou louse on the 16th, had been postponed on account of the unfavourable intelligence received from Agen, Cahors, and the neighbouring districts. In Libourne, the Director of the Taxes, assisted by a Commissary of the Police from Bordeaux, and escorted by a troop of Hussars, recommenced his operations, but out of the 111 houses, composing the quarter he began with, only seventeen were, opened. No actual disorder took place, but it was feared that the rest of the inhabi tants would follow the example set them, and oppose the regular execution of the census. Accounts from Paris confirm the statement that the French Government was about withdrawing the sick and wounded from the Hospital del Rey (Minorca), with an intention of doily , away with it altogether, but that it was not true that France had asked of the Spanish Go vernment a renewal of the lease of that island. The French fleet, under Admiral Hugon, returned to Toulon on the 14th inst. PARIS, AUG. 16.—Three; per Cents., 77f. 50c. ; Spa nish, 24. SPAIN. Accounts from Madrid of the 10th inst., mention that a concentration of troops was taking place round Ma drid, and in the valley of Menia, on the frontiers of Biscay. A very uneasy feeling prevails at Madrid. The Go vernment is aware of the tact that di s tributions of money are made at Barcelona, Valencia, Tarragona, and other places, in order to bring about a rising. The roads in Spain are becoming again infested with robbers and banditti. The Five per Cents. were done at 231-a for cash, and 24 1-16* at 60 days._ POR FUGAL. The Marquis de Saldanha has been appointed by Queen Dona Maria Ambassador of Portugal at the Court of Vienna. The Regent Espartero keeps a watchful eye on what i s going on at Lisbon. He suspects the Government of Dona Maria of trying to foment a religious civil war in Spain. A secret Association, styled of the Faith, has been formed at Lisbon, and one of its clubs accompanied the Court to Cintra. This association is represented as hostile to Spain, and among its members are said to be the Dukes of Palmella and Terceira, Count de Villa Real, and other personages who have great influence on public affairs. The representatives of the Holy Alliance were daily expected at Lisbon, when it was supposed Ministers would feel themselves well supportod in their intended aggression upon Spain. GERMAN Y. The Frankfort Journal publishes a letter from Vienna of the Bth inst., stating that there was every hope of the Duke de Bordeaux not being lathed by his accident. According to the Augsburg Gazette, the Director of the Customs of Denmark is now at Berlin negotiating the admission of the Danish Duchies into the German Customs Union, which it was reported the free cities of Hamburg, Bremen, and Lubeck intended also to join.
