The following is the reply of the French Minister of Foreign Affaifs to a memorial agreed to in Paris on September 3, 1855, by persons belonging to several nations, and to almost every Protestant denomination in Europe ,and, America, reßpectfully be , eeelling his Majesty, in concert with her Majesty the Queen of England and other Christian Powers, to IMO his influ ence with the Government of Turkey that it might establish religious liberty in the States under its juris 7 diction in favour of all the subjects of that vast empire without distinction : "Ministry of Foreign Affairs.—Political Direction, " Paris, April 25. "Sir,—The Emperor has given orders to refer to me the petition which you addressed to his Majesty in the name of the Society of the Friends of Religious Liberty (the Evan gelical Conference of Paris, 1855), and I have taken into serious consideration the observations which it contains. "The Government of the Emperor has always exerted. itself to cause those piinciples to prevail. Already, by the Hatt-Humaymin of February the 19th, his Highness the Sultan has proclaimed inthe Ottouaan empire the liberty of all religious Lillis ; and the Government of the Empe ror will not fail to do whatever shall be in its power to in sure the execution of those generous dispositions. . " Receive, Sir, the assurance of my distinguished con sideration, " WALEWSKI. Sir Culling Eardley, Bart." The meeting at which this memorial was agreed to was presided:over by Sir Culling Eardley, Bart., chair man of the Evangelical Alliance, who has just received the foregoing answer. The address was replied to in decided terms by the Soverigns of England, Holland, and Prussia in the months of September, October, and December respectively. "The reply of the French Minister, although delayed several months," Sir Culling says, "possesses peculiar importance, from the present circumstances of France. The Minister of Worship, M. Fontoul, notified on Monday to the French Protestants through one of their body, that the decree of the 25th of March, 1852, inter fering with religious meetings, is annulled in regard to the commune of Thiat, in the department of the Hatite Vienne. It is expected that the measure will apply to the whole empire, and that the sentences of imprison ment pronounced against several persons will be at once cancelled. This reply of Count Walewski justifies that expectation." SHIPPING STATISTICS. The Elst India and China Association have published their usual comparative statement of the number of ships, both British and foreign, with their aggregate tonnage, entered inward and cleared outward with cargo from and to places within the limits of the East India Company's charter from the Ist of Jan. to the 31st of March, 1855 and 1856.

The rest of the Christians were con-I sealed in the houses of Moslems, and most likely paid them the price of their Wood for their safety, and what of their houses were plundered we know not, or what insults were offered to wernen, or what other mischief. Oh, day of terror, aaful day ! the like of it has not happened since the risine of Islam upon the Christians in Aleppo ! Where are the Eegeish, where aie the French and the Sardinians, who have shed their tdoo,t to uphold the power of Islam, ant to give liberty to the Christians of the Feist ?

Who, knowing the Moslems of Nablous for several years past, would have expected a day like this; or, hear ing of it, could restrain his eyes from toers of sorrow? The feelings of Islam towards the Christians are now made known : it is seen they W(11.11/.1 rob them of their lives, their property, and honour. Ms) , this be known to all.

Cavendy, which arrived off Cowes this morning, en route from New York to Bremen, with the German, French, and English mails, we have dates from New York to the 19th tilt. The Washington brings 183 passengers, and on freight about 150,000 cols. in specie, principally for Loudon, and the usual cargo. The Collins' mail steam ship Baltic arrived at Now York from Liverpool on the 18th ult. The steam-ship G6orge Law, from -Aspinwall, with the semi-monthly mails and nearly 1,500;000 dols. in treasure from California, had arrived at New York. The Aspinwall Courier of the sth ult. states that Col. &Wessinger, at the head of 400 troops, was defeat e d near S an J ose b y 500 Costa Ricans, under Gen. M ora . T wen t y A mer i cans were taken prisoners and shot. 'rho Costa. Rican army was about to enter Nicaragua. The state ments as to the result of the battle aro conflicting. The Washington correspondent of the New York fierald, in alluding to the Costa Rica war, say's— " That despatches from Col. Wheeler to the Govern. ment mention that Col. Sehlessinger'3 retreat was not a defeat of the Costa Ricans, but a stroke of successful policy, superinduced by the largely-overwhelming force of the enemy." The same correspondent says-- "Among the official documents received from Oregon is a letter from Joel Palmer ' Superintendent of Indian Affairs, who, confirmi ng the statements of Governor Curry, says, Toe present difficulty in Southern Oregon is wholly attributable to the acts of the white adding, cannot but feel it is our duty to a lopt such measures as will tend to secure the lives of these Indians, and maintain the guarantee secured by treaty stipulations. The future will prove that this war has been forced upon these Indians against their will, and that, too, by a set of reckless vagabonds, for pecuniary and politiCal objects, sanctioned by a numerous population who regard the Tre asury of the United States as a legitimate object of plunder. The Indians in that district have been driven to despe ration by acts of cruelty against their people. Treaties have been violated, and k ots of barbarity committed by those claiming to be citizens that would disgrace the most barbarous nations of the earth. If none but those who perpetrated such acts were to be affected by this ear we might look upon it with indifference ; but un happily this is not the case.' " Advices from Havannah are to the 11th ult. The man who attempted to take the life of the Archbishop of Cuba was to be garotted. The cause of the attempt is said to have arisen out of the denunciations of the archbishop from the pulpit of certain Spanish hidalgos, who were living in open concubinage with their own slaves. The ag gregate number of Asiatic labourers which have arrived at the island since the importation com menced is 4,066. In addition 390 of the unfortu nate creatures had been lost by disease, accidental drowning, and suicide before reaching Cuba. In the New York money trarketforeign exchange continued firm.

By the Peninsular and Oriental Company's screw steam-ship Para, Captain Soy, with the India, China, and Mediterranean mails, in charge of Liettt. Robins, R.N., we have dates from Alexandria April 20, Malta, 24, and Gibraltar, 29. The Pera brings 109 passengers, and on freight 589 bales of raw silk, 73 bales of wool, 110 bags of gum, 1.03 cases of cashmere shawls, and 298 pack ages of general merchandise. Among the passengers are M. R.

Colonel Wrottea leY, from Malta. Sir W. and Lady Gomm, with Colonel Yates, left Alexandria for England on the 20thi. ult., via Trieste. • Three high bred Arab horses, the property of his Excellency, have been brought home in the Para ; one of them is con sidered of the purest breed ever imported in this country. • The Hon. Mr. Dann, from Van Diemen's Land, and the Hon. Mr. Forlong, from Melbourne, who have arrived in London for the purpose of entering into arrangements for the immediate formation of a steam postal communication with Australia, were landed from the Pera at Malta, and proceeded to England through France. The Pera during the outward voyage experienced very severe westerly winds as far as Cape Finis ettarre ; in the Mediterranean light headwinds; Homeward the weather was fine to Cape de G-att ; from that point to Gibraltar it blew a hard gale from the westward, which detained her off that port 20 hours ; afterwards the weather was more favourable. Although throughout the whole voy age from Alexandria the Pera has not experienced 60 hours of fair wind, she has completed the en tire pissage in I]. days 11 honr;. On the 26th ult. 180 miles East of C a p e d e G A f). tt, the Per exchanged colours with the British barque Eliz t, Thompson, steering eastward ; 29th, 140 miles south-east of Cape St. Vincent, she spoke the sail ing transport Edward, No. 141, which left Gibral tar on the previous day in tow of the Steam-tran sport Great Western, No. 6. The E lward was bound for Seiftead, and had on board 120 Russian guns, On the same day, rip miles south-east of Cape St. 'Vincent, she - exchanged colours with the small Swedish steamer Carline-, and the steam transport Emperor, No. 67, steering south-east. On the 30tHult., 40 mil es nor th of St. Vincent, she spoke the screw -steamer Union, steering south; also, spoke on the same day the steam-transports Great Western, No. 6, steering for England ; the Orinoco, 213, off Epi c h e ll, steer i ng S. ; and the Ripon, No. 25, also steering S. On the Ist inst., 40 miles N.E. of Cape Finisterro, signalled a large screw steam-transport, with loss of fore and main topmasts, mizentopmast standing, funnel abaft mainmast, standing S.W., but coal 'ot make out the number. She had the fore and main course and the spanker set. Intelligen,lT from Alicant, in the Gibraltar Chronicle, states— • " That the commercial movement of that port has dur inz the last few months considerably increased, aid will in all probability be still more active when t.ha commu nications with Madrid have bee❑ facilitated by the con struction of the railways which will be completed before the end of the year. The tunnel of Eldo, which has been confided to a French contractor, has bean entite y pierced, and work men are now employed in it. The works in the port are also advancing rapidly, and there is every rea , on to hope that it will be one of the finest, as well as one of the safest, on the coast of Spain. The crops in the province of Alicant are said to give every promise of abundance. Very little wine had lately been purchased there for France, as the price had considerably risen in consequence of the great demand for Italy." Our intelligence from Gibraltar is to the 29th ult. A grand funeral service was solemnised on the 26th in the Roman Catholic chapel for the re pose of the souls of those who had fallen during the late war in the Crimea. The British steamer Demetrius, 10 days from Hartlepool, arrived at Gibraltar on the 26th. The steamship British Queen, five and a quarter days from Liverpool, ar rived out on the 25th. Exchange at Gibraltar for bills on London, at 90 days, was quoted at Mc. ; Farm, sf. 37c. ; Marseille3, sf. 38c. Spanish pillared dollars, 8 per cent. pratuium, but there are none in the market.

As soon Mahrnond Beg Abi el Hati heard of it he arose, and begin to to collect men, for there was an alarming tumult in the city. Some of the Mejlis (council) came; others did not, they could not form a council ; and it was determined to hold one after the prayer (the Friday's prayer). In the meantime the Sheick Sulah-el— , acane collected about 1 9 persons of the Ulema. It is uncertain as to the presence of three Ulema, who were members of the Mejlis. It is said they had agreed together before the Friday, and waited an opportunity when the Mitezzims should ascend the minaret to call to prayer as usual. Those U;lerna stopped them as soon as they began, and said, " What is there in our prayer? Islam is dead !" Soon all the Moslems were assembling in the mosque to prayer, and the Ulema and Imaunts said to them "Go, pray, behind the (Christian) priests and consu lar agents; the religion of Mohammed is dead." They ez. cited the people by such words, sent them out, and pre. vented the prayer. The people said to them " What shall we do ?" They answered, "If you aro Moslems, manifest the religion of Mohammed," awl began to toll them what to do. The crowds shouted, "God is groat! Oh, religion of Mo hammed !" and the womenbegan to shout and urge them on. They attacked the house of the French consul, Mohammed Aureola Effendi El Cassiin, stole what they stole, an d burned the rest. They took down the French - flag an d dragged it through the street, but the Osmanli flag they took in honour to the palace.

The Madrid left at Lisbon, on the 28th ult., the Greek war steamer Reino de Grece. The steam yacht New Quarterly, H. Last, had put into the Tagus from stress of weather on the 26th. The Liverpool screw-steamer Minho had not ar rived at Lisbon when . the Madrid sailed. Great anxiety was felt at that port for her safety. A steam-vessel under canvass was passed by the Madrid shortly after leaving Lisbon, and appeared to be either the missing ship or the steamer Rat tler, belonging to the same company. She was under canvas only. The exchanges, this packet, for bills at three months are quoted :—London, 54i to 541 ; Paris, 520 to 518 ; Amsterdam, 43i ; Hamburg, 49g ; and Genoa, 17.

Admirable, for example, in (23) "Huntsman's Boy and Bloodhounds" —admirable too in (263) " Re turnfrom Hawking" —but (if we might venture to draw a comparison among three such pictures) most admirable in (281) " 111-Nature, Highlands of Scotlaud"—in which " twa dogs" are fighting for the bare life, a little boy grinning with delight at their ferocity, a little girl whimpering in her apron at the same, and a flock of sheep scur rying off affrighted in the background. The Se cretary, J. J. Jenkins, has an amusing view of following my leader over stepping-stones, called (215) " Come Along !" and a boatful of home ward-bound veterans (125) " The Return," iisropos of the War—or of the P ace ! Gloomy in one, lurid in the other, but Woolmer-like in both, S. Palmer illustrates in (147) and in (143) com panion incidents from " Comus"—the Brothel's guided by the Attendant Spirit and the same brothers Lingering under the Vine 1 Carl Haag gives us in (150) the Head of a "Roman Flower Girl " whose face would be lovely but that the eyes are so frightfully dis proportionate in their largeness ! John Gilbert, the indefatigable and inexhaustible John Gibert, will delight his admirers most with (37) " The Standard-Bearer," hut cannot fail, of course, to attract the notice of the majority chiefly by his large picture (83) depicting " Her Majesty the Queen inspecting the Wounded Coldstream Guards in the Hall of Buckingham Palace "—a painting full of interest, if only from the histori cal character of the subject, and the general ex cellence of the numerous portraits introduced. Margaret Gillies has a charming little study (177), entitled "The Students "—heads that might pass muster as those of Sir Isaac Newton and his beautiful niece, the admired of Swift and the be loved of Halifax. A crowded little picture hung low down in the entrance (197) portrays " Co lumbus before the Council of Salamanca," as seen by the " mind's eye" of J. Steplaanoff—supposing the great Christopher to have appeared like which effigy with extended arms and dis-spread fingers, "explaining his theory of the new world," we don't at all wonder at the childre s calling after him in the streets of Madrid— " There goes the mad Italian !" Tophani's picture of (238) " The Gaugers are Coming " should not on any account be passsd by without some earnest hint of commendation. Neither can e remain a l together silent in regard to George Fripp's (232) " Hambrook Mill, on the Frome, near Bristol," with the wind blowing among the trees so refreshingly. Another artist facile princeps among the ablest and most gifted of living water colourists remains yet to be mentioned. We have reserved any allusion t' . .o him and his contri butions as a bonne boucle. Cannot any one guess on the instant who it is we mean Hunt, of Park Gate, Bramley, near Basingstoke. A wonderful mas ter in the old-new art of Pre-Rephaelism. Look at (253) that astonishing little "Bit of Mont Blanc," about four inches square, giving a frag ment just so large of the metallic rocky substance of the mountain freckled with lichen, and parti coloured with gleams of gneiss, mica, and granite— such as must be absolute rapture we should farcy to the senses of John Ruskin ! Then the fruit pieces of this marvellous painter—this magical W. Hunt ! The plums in (274), plums that we could almost eat ! Tire chesnuts in (278), chesnuts in their shining golden jackets ! The green and purple grapes in (219), grapes with the bloom on them ! The cobnuts in (212), ripe brown .nuts, half peeping from pods sour, green, and shaggy The wild strawberries in (292), tiny wild sinl7l - red, little, freckled atoms of natural suss mellowed deliciousness ! No wonder the fruit pieces of Hunt are snatched up greedily by art purchasers, almost as soon as they are exhibited. Looking at them, lingering near them, tearing ourselves from them reluctantly at last, we leave the Gallery smacking our lips as at the dessert after the great feast of this Collection ! Saturday afternoon found us among the pr vileged " many " admitted to the private view of the annual exhibition of the (Old) Society of Painters in Water Colours, at 5, Pall Mall East, the Society's now well-known Gallery. Tolerably well-known by this time to all lovers of art among us Londoners, seeing that 1856 brings us in it to the " fifty-second " of these same yearly exhibitions ! Exactly 300 pictures are for the present season numbered in the catalogue of the collection. Three hundred, of course, good, bad, I and indifferent. Th e e ff ec t i s b r illi an t enoug h as usual on entering, and by the time we take our departure, it must be admitted, sufficiently satisfactory altogether. Sauntering round the old familiar Gallery one misses—how one misses poor Copley Fielding ! No more of the rolling billows in those affluent sea-stapes, no more of the vapoury perspective, and the showery atmosphere, and the erratic sunbeams glorifying those ample land -stapes--lavished upon the walls with a hand so free and indefatigable by the late gifted and lamented President. No more ! The easle is folded up, the brushes put away, the pallett cleaned, the blinds down, the shutters closed—for hint 1 And in Otto vacated chair John F. Lewis some time formally installed ! "The King is dead : long live the King" —as the court herald cried years ago out of the window of the old Tuilezies. And, putting aside with a sigh the memory of Copley Fielding, as we might a caput morticum, from a gay banquet adorned with fruit and flowers, we pause before No. 134, a large contribution by John Lewis, representing " A Frank Encampment in the Desert of Mount Sinai, 1842, with the Convent of St. Catherine in the distance." It comprises, this remarkable picture, portraits of an English nobleman—(it might be a scion of some noble house like the MSS. hunting author of " Visits to the Monasteries of the Levant," but for the pronged beard 0 ---and Isis suite, together with Hassin, the Scheikh of Gebel Tor, and Mahe:loud the Dragoman. The effect of all the oriental accessories, contrasted with the little pet Skye-terrier, and the luxurious litter of bodily comforts for the grand insular traveller in his outlandish raiment, s comical enough, and withal wondrously characteristic. It is a marvellous glimpse of life as it is not unfre quently seen in the hot realm of the nomadic Arab—with the Scheikh, and the Noble, and the Dragoman all inclusively. David Cox—what on earth is D tvid Cox about latterly ? Playing tricks with his reputation, as Turner was wont to do in another way, towards the close of his eminent career? Not, as Turner did, shaking out upon the canvass in one wild fuzzy jumble the gaudiest colours of the prism, or of the kaliecloscope—but sketching objects from nature it would almost seem, anyhow, with a ragged brush ! In proof of which accusation let us merely direct attention, anybody's attention, David Cox's most infatuated admirers' attention, to (128) " Driving the Flock," or to (260) "North Wales "—rough drawings, which are, as compared to finished pictures, what a blotted scrawl is to a specimen of caligraphy. Sometimes, it is true, even through this inadequate medium, the genius of the master contrives still to shine out conspicu• ously and unmistakeably, as in the same artist's admirable sketch (140) "The Peat Gatherers." Altogether, howbeit, a style so frightfully free and-easy, when adopted by a water-colourist like D. Cox, is to us subject only for unaffected lamenta tion. What a contrast in its finished perfection that presented by C. Branwhite's (121) noble masterpiece, the view "On the River Trevi, near Newcastle-in-Emlyn, S.W. ! " One of the loveliest paintings this season displayed upon the walls of the Gallery. Whether viewed in regard to wood land or cloudland—in reference to the blue sky or the blue water. Another contribution by the same hand (114) " A Winter Sunset," depicts a frost scene on the river Avon—seeing which one longs to buckle on the Mercury-blades, and glide away over the ice, crackling and humming like an animated top, or a sort of a human-swallow. W. Goodall is also very noticeable among the Water Colourists of the present season— less, however, because of such a picture as (63) "The Grandfather's Visit," in which the old gentleman is by far too skittish aid nimble-heeled for his age to be in any way true to nature—than by reason of such another as (111) "The Shrimpers," a coast group that would have gladdened t he heart of Collins himself to have looked upon. As any one will acknowledge, if only on a glance at that young fisherboy's leg shining with a wondrous flesh tint through the network, or, as Dr. Johnson would have it—" the reticu lations or decussations with interstices between the intersections !" What a delicious glory of verdure, green and succulent with spring -fresh ness, is there not in (74) " The Mole, near Dork ing," by J. P. Naftel ! What a charming bit of meadow loveliness is that peep at haymaking in (33) "Priory Park, Reigate," by C. Davidsou.A bout the most prolific contributor to the Gallery for 1856 is unquestionably W. C. Smith—out of whose score of contributions, several of very con siderable beauty might easily be selected. For example (42), " Still Pool, Lyuton," cool, spark ling, and transparent I It would interest us very much to know what Mr. Naftel can possibly mean by that yellow clash of spray (like a " cat's paw" of curry 0 thrown up among the boulders viewed at sundown in (20) " Collecting Vraic, Guernsey." Also—ewe should be interested to learn where abouts the point of the joke may be in those two terrible portraitures of Irish home life, by H. P. Riviere—(ls4) " Charming Judy Callaghan" and (161) " Another bit of Blarney"—the ugly Patlander who imperson ates the hero in each of which pictures being, in his villanous squalor, rather a fitting subject for Madame Tussaud's Chamber of Horrors than for a specimen of water-colour peasantry. Mr. Riviere , has, moreover, it is observable in (49) "Sunday Morning," a ridiculous example of a very clean old ROYAL COLLEGE or SURGEONS.—The following gen man, soaped, and brushed, and polished up into undergone the necessary exAminations were admitt f ed members of the college the very model of a pattern Bible Reader Va afotrtthheeradelP,ti°irciliaot'hf the court on the . 2d inst. tlemen, having lentine Bartholomew feasts our eyes with (78) " Autumn Flowers," a posy of chrysanthemums 1 _Messrsee .3 E d o ,ian.y, Darlaston WedneYs'bfiravrtnYtathf;)l2roc C h h ir a e s .
