Freights for short voyages being much in request, rates have fallen considerably ; .a number of ships have been offered and refused, at even low rates, for the West Indies and Brazil, as the requirements are well supplied. East India and China freights not having improved are neglected, as the last accounts show that homeward freights in the East are falling, and merchants here will not take ships, except at low rates ; an advance in outward freights is, therefore, expected. The Pacific and Mediterranean trades are dull, and no alteration in quotations. Since our last freights to northern United States ports have advanced, and our quotations are easily obtainable.

LONDON, TUESDAY EVENING. In the LONDON STOCK MARKET to-day the Funds were very quiet at about yesterday's prices. Preparations for the monthly settlement on Thursday chiefly occupied attention. The Funds closed at the following prices : Consols Money 1 , 93 Account Exchequer l Bills 3 6pm Bank Stock Three per Cents 93a Next Account The following appeared in our later editions of yesterday : The English funds continue to show depression, from the state of the weather and the flatness on the Paris Bourse. About £4,000 in bar gold was taken from the Bank for exportation. These small withdrawals are chiefly for transmission to Spain. The new 5 per cent. Sardinian loan for £6,000,000 has been formally announced for home subscription at the expected price of 80.—Times. The stock markets were dull and heavy, and funds experienced a fresh decline- of k per cent. The possi bility of a drain of gold from the Bank attracts discus sion. The unfavourable reaction in the market for British railway stocks still continues, and there is an idea in some quarters that the dulness noticed in certain branches of the trade may have an effect upon the traffic. The demand at the discount office of the Bank was rather slack.----Daily News. SPOKEN.

The LONDON MARKET for MINING SHARES to day remained quiet, with scarcely any change in prices. The transactions were chiefly confined to Shares in East Caradon, Wheal Wicy, Tolcarne, and Rosewarne United Mines.

In the House of Lords yesterday, the Game Certifi cate, the Naval Discipline, the Senior Members of Council (India), and the Superannuation Act of 1859 Amendment Bills were read a third time and passed ; and the Royal Volunteer Corps Bill was read a second time, Earl Granville, on behalf of the Government, announced their intention to proceed before the session closed with a number of important measures, which were specified. The House - of Commons; in its day sitting, pro ceeded with the clauses of the Roman Catholic Charities Bill. Several amendments were effected, and the bill then passed through_ committee. The Industrial Schools Act (1851) Amendment Bill went through committee, and the House adjourned. The evening sitting, it will be seen, was largely occupied with the third reading of the European Forces (India) Bill. A telegram from Edinburgh, yesterday afternoon, announces that the Queen arrived safely in that city yesterday morning, punctually at the time expected. We await important news from Naples. A despatch from Turin states that 5,000 volunteers were to leave on Saturday for Sicily. Lamoriciere, oberves the Globe's Paris correspondent, sends troops to Terracina ; his next move must be an advance into young Bomba's dominions, which may bring him a step nearer to Garibaldi—the two champions of opposite systems being destined, no doubt, to a final collision. Austria, by last accounts, was sending artillery to the heights, of the Stelvio Pass, and filling Tyrol with troops that may' be required for Hungary. The annual Federal fete has taken place at Geneva. Officers from all parts of Switzerland, to the number of 1,200, assembled on the occasion, under the presidency of General Dufour. The enthusiasm was general. According to a letter from Damascus, published in the JlMiliteter, the massacres in that city lasted from the 9th of July to the lEth, the first three days being, however, the most terrible. The number of Christians cruelly put to death during the eight days, is estimated approximately at 8,000, the only persons spared being young women and girls, who were carried off to slavery. The French news will be found amply discussed in our Paris correspondent's letter. The Emperor has left for the camp at Chalons, where he will remain to the 17th instant. M. Cucheval Clarigny's pamphlet, "Notes sur les Budgets de la Guerre et de la Marine en Angleterre," which will be published by Dentu, on Thursday, has been avowedly . written by order of government, as may be gathered from•the preface. The London papers of yesterday contain a com plete and literal translation of the two protocols of the conference on Syria, held on Friday last at the Foreign Office in Paris. the second one contains the solemn engagement which the contracting powers have taken upon themselves to seek neither territorial aggrandise ment nor exclusive influence, nor commercial advantages for their subjects, by the intervention. The first regu lates the details of the intervention itself, which is limited beforehand to a duration of six months. The strength •of the expedition on land is not to exceed 12,000 men. Of these, 6,000 are to be furnished by France, and that immediately. Should it become ne cessary to fill up the whole number of 12,000, an under standing is once more to be come to with the Porte, in the ordinary diplomatic way, about what powers are to make up the rest. All have undertaken the obligation, as it is called, to furnish naval assistance to the expedi tion on land with the exception of Prussia. The atten tion of the Sultan is significantly called to the article of the treaty of 1856, supported by the solemn promises or the Sublime Porte, of serious administrative measures for ameliorating the fate of the Christian populations, of whatever denomination, in the Ottoman empire. By the arrival of the•recent mails, we have . a fort night's later news from China. According to our last advices theta seems little doubt that the war is assuming Latf, , er proportions, and that the Emperor is preparing for a desparate resistance, propped up in the belief of his invincibility: by the affair at the Taku forts. The proposal of the Allies have been rejected with scorn, the French receiving the largest share of Imperial contumely. All the troops have left for the north. The British Commissariat alone has engaged some 80,000 or 90,000 tons of .shipping, and so great are its demands for money that exchange has arisen considerably in conse- quence of the large amount of bills drawn upon Eng land. Mr. Gladstone must look to it (says the Times' special correspondent), for the money voted for the war may not unlikely be all expended before a blow be struck The Nova Scotian arrived in the river yesterday after noon, bihiging us news from Quebec to the 28th ult. The all-absorbing topic was the approaching visit of the Prince of Wales, who was daily expected at Hali fax, where great preparations had been made for his reception. The streets were spanned by at least fifty triumphal arches. "There is a saying," says a corre spondent of the leading journal, "that a genuine Eng lish cheer, like English porter, can never be got out of Britain. The provinces and Canada will prove the exception to this rule. I have been through the greater part of Canada; and the whole land, from Halifax to Lake Huron, and almost from Labrador to Lake Erie, resounds only with preparatiOns for the Prip.ce's visit. You can't take up a paper without finding it full of acrostics on his name, anecdotes of his childhood, or predictions of a future glory which shall equal that of his Royal mother, whose name, be it said, is never men- tioned, either here or in the United States, but in such terms of reverence and admiration as an Englishman feels proud and glad to hear." A despatch from Toronto says: —" Various Indian tribes will meet the Prince of Wales at Queenstown:" On the 27th let., the number of passengers Who visited the Great Eastern amounted to 18,000. She was expected to visit Hampton Roads on the. 29th, and to proceed to Annapolis the following day to coal. In the general news of the day, a very curious inci- I dent which occurred at the Lambeth police-office will be found referred to. It would appear that the youth committed for the Walworth murder had another woman in his toils, and to whom he had promised marriage. The reputed murderer was brought before the magistrates yesterday, and the female in question , who is said to .be very respectable, and who came up from Staffordshire for the purpose, was present during the enquiry. She stated the prisoner made her acquaint ance some time ago, and when she saw his name in the newspapers, she brought up his photograph, and showed it to the police, who said he was the mart, and.thatit was an excellent likeness. She was greatly agitated during the time that some letters were read which the prisoner had addressed to Mary Ann Streeter, in which she was persistently urged to insure her life, and said that all of them, except two, were exactly of a similar nature to letters he had addressed to her. On Monday a very painful investigation was coni menced at the Bow-street police-court, London. A late keeper in the Colney Hatch Lunatic Asylum was charged with having brutally ill-treated an inmate named Swift, thereby occasioning his death. The man was found in a padded room dead, but warm, and on a post-mrtent examination it appeared that his breast bone and eleven of his ribs were broken. An insane inmate named Clarke states that he was a witness to the grossest violence by the prisoner and another keeper towards the deceased ; that they forced him into the room, knocked him down, and kicked him twice savagely while he was down. At the examination, a question was raised as to the eligi bility of a lunatic to give evidence. The magistrate, Mr. Henry, having subjected the person in question to a pre liminary investigation, decided in favour of his compe tency, and the witness then told an apparently straight forward story. The enquiry stands adjourned. The Registrar-General has issued his quarterly return, which, as usual, is fall of suggestive facts and interest ing information. Prom this it appears that the mar riages in the first quarter of this year were not quite so numerous as they were in the same quarter of 1859, but exceeded those of any corresponding period in the eleven years 1848-58 ; the marriage-rate--namely, the proportion of persons married to the then existing 'population, was also slightly above the average for the quarter. The births in the second quarter (that ended June 30th) were fewer than in the same quarter of last year, and were also fewer than they would have been if the average spring birth rate had been maintained. The deaths exhibit, in no faint characters, the effects of an ungenial season, and the rate of mortality was higher, with only two exceptions, than in any corres ponding- quarter of the previous ten years. Liverpool, we rejoice to state, was never more healthy than it has been for some time back, and is at present. THE BATTLE OF THE PAPER-MAKERS AIR. GLADSTONE having ejected his venomous and well-aimed spite upon an important branch of British manufacture, he now, doubtless, chuckles over the foul deed, whereby he has once more destroyed one department of our home industry. Having been ignominiously defeated in his insane attempt to waste nearly a million and a half of paper duty, he has now taken his revenge on the papei-makers by reducing and equalising the customs duty on foreign papers,—the effect of which may be to extinguish the English trade. Viewing the reduction of the customs duty on paper from the narrow point of view in which it affects our selves as a portion of the cheap daily press, of course we have no reason to grumble ; but, look ing at the question as it ought to be looked at, — as it affects the policy of the State and the cha racter of certain leading statesmen we cannot help perceiving in it many reasons for the highest dissatisfaction. As to the motives which prompted the measure there seems to be a marvellotr amount of unanimity ; and the arguments em ployed by the Chancellor of t he Exche q ue r in urging his motion upon the Ho use, are equally transparent. It may not be altogether useless, however,. even now, that the matter seems "decided, to mark for our future guidance, the unworthy character of both. The Chaneellor . of the Exchequer. has put it on record, that in his opinion, whatever 'effect his resolutions may have upon the paper manufacture id this country, they can make little difference to the revenue of the country ; neither will they greatly cheapen the price of the article. H e insists very energetically on the accuracy of his own views in these respects. It is not even pre tended by Mr. GLADSTONE, that they will n o t injure the paper makers, —he evidently lays his account for that, and views t he catastrophe with indifference. When we turn to his speech to learn who is expected to reap the benefit, we find him demonstrating carefully that neither the revenue nor the people need look for any advantage worth the while. What,. then, impels him to th e per formance of this ungracio us task ? The treaty— nothing but the treaty, and "high considerati ons the' left us of policy as regards our honourable engage meuts." Mr. GLADSTONE,:rShaO:SI: preoawdeirngis of terms of that treaty is ~ to place a protective duty on any article what ever imported from France." He offers no apology for having thus, according to his version of it, tied the hands of the legislature behind its back, leaving France free to work its will upon our commerce; but, on the contrar y , he in sultingly —almost sneeringly —tells the House that it is of no use complaining now. " He cont en d e d that the House, in adop tin g the p rin c i ples of the treaty, had done so w ith its e y es open, afte r d ue consideration, and With full cognisance of its meaning." Members are not to be allowed to believe that in the month of March last they were like the hares--the victims of a temporary delirium, which has only r ecently pa sse d off. Mr. GLADSTONE assures them that there was no hocussing, for their eyes were' o p en , there was due consideration , and they had full cognisance of its meaning. This was really the cruellest thing he could have uttered to those whose clearest conviction must be that if they had the power to commence the labours of this session (le novo, would they see to it that above all things there should'certainly be no such thing in existence as a French treaty. Be that as it may, it is indisputable that, according to Mr. GLADsToNE,, the treaty has deprived us of all right to legislate in the matter of customs duties affecting French manufactures. We shall not stay to inquire what we have gained by having thus surrendered our national liberty to the French Emperor. Let us proceed to inquire how Mr. GLADSTONE proves the truth oe the pretended necessity for reducing the customs duties on paper. We shall not attempt to enter into a bill dis cussion of how far this supposed necessity arises out of the terms of the treaty, but content our- selves by briefly referring to the opinions expressed by - honourable members on both sides of the debate. It having been asserted by no mean authorities in the matter that no such necessity exists in the treaty, how is the assertion met ? Mr. GLADSTONE chiefly rests his proof, not on'the :reaty itself, but on certain official correspondence, ust as if that could override the principal document and supply its omissions ; he denied that the reduc tion of the duty on paper was made contingent on the removal of the export duty on French rags, because the French Government had endeavoured to induce the legislature to remove the prohibi tion, but the protectionists, had proved too strong for them! It was, therefore, our duty to show them a good example,---at great cost to our manufacturers, and without a corresponding advantage to anybody! The Attorney-General--- on rising to answer the able speech of Sir HUGH CAIRNS, who proved to a demonstration that no necessity existed in consequence of anything in the terms of the treaty—was compelled to aban don the high ground so successfully taken by Sir RUGii, and after admitting that the treaty would not support Mr. GLADsToNE's views if constited in the spirit of a technical lawyer, he proceeded to make an ad eaptandum appeal to what he called "the intelligence of men of honour endowed with common sense," in support of certain iiy'e renees to be drawn from its clauses and provi• sions. This froth a lawyer, we hold; was as good a giving up the whole plea. Mr. HENLETi . very appositely reminded the House that the Govern ment had themselves established a differential duty on hops, and had thus surrendered their whole case, so far as it was based on the treaty. Lord JOHN RUSSELL, seeing the great weakness, of the position Mr. GLAD STONE had taken up, confessed that it could only be maintained "according to a wide and generous (very) interpretation, disregarding the advantages which might be derived by firm and settled arguments for the benefit of either party." His lordship is no believer in the " advantages" of sound logic or the strict interpretation of formal documents. The rule of thumb existed before the rule of three, so three cheers for dunce dom ! Then, again, it was moderately urged by Mr. DISRAELI that as many of the details of the treaty were, in fact, still unsettled, both as re gards the tariff of duty and the time at which the convention would take effect, there was no reason why a similar delay should not be required on the English side, in order to arrive at a fair adjustment of an important and suffering branch of trade. In short, the superiority of the argu ments founded upon the very terms of the treaty itself were so manifestly against Mr. GLADSTONE'S views, that we cannot see how any man can fail to be convinced that the supposed necessity had no existence except in the minds of the Chancellor of the Exchequer and his infatuated followers. Supposing, however, for the sake of the argu ment, that it really was imperative on us, in terms of the treaty, to do what has been done to please Mr. GLADSTONE, was not that difficulty at once got over by the offer of the French Govern ment, mentioned by Mr. GLADSTONE himself, to waive any claim they might have had under the 7th article, as regards the duty on paper ? Was this not enough to have satisfied the highest " considerations of policy as regards our honour able engagements ?" If it be true, as Mr. GLAD STONE was not ashamed to tell the House and country, that the treaty so completely fettered US that we had no choice left us, did not this restore to us entire liberty of action in the matter in hand ? Away, then, with Mr. GLAD STONE'S fiction about "honourable engagements." Neither can we tolerate for a moment his jargmi about the extended application of free-trade prin ciples, while we subject paper to a heavy excise tax. It is mere nonsense to talk of making it an article of free-trade by reducing the customs duty on. foreign paper produced under a system of protection. The truth of what we write, and a great deal more, is well known to Mr. GLADSTONE ; but it availed nothing before his determination to avenge himself for the salu tary check he received in his insane attempt to repeal the excise duty on paper. Baffled in his threat to take "action" against the House of Lords, he resolved to direct his "action" against that portion of the trading community who had exerted themselves to thwart " his distempered ambition and inordinate vanity ;" and backed by the motley party of coalitionists who dreaded defeat as synonymous with a dissolution, he has gained what we cannot but characterise as a " disastrous victory "—as disastrous to himself in the end, we venture to predict, as it must be, in the first place, to his unfortunate victims—the English papermakers. FOREIGN INTELLIGENCE (FROM OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT.) PARIS, Tuesday Morning, August 7, 1860. Thd London papers of this day will, no doubt, have put you in possession of the English text of the two Protocols or Memoranda, which have been signed by the representatives of the Porte and of the Great Powers. I need not, therefore, trouble yen 'with a freSh translation of these pre liminary documents. The arrangements for which they provide, and the reservations 'and conditions under which they are entered into, are very much what I prepared you for. The first provides for the amount of the force, for its condi tional increase, for its acting in combination with the Turkish troops, for the duration of its stay in the country, for the subsistence and supply of the men, and for the drawing up of a convention for the signature of all the Powers concerned, in which formal effect is to . be given to all the stipu lations. The second protocol, consisting of three clauses, contains, in the first, a solemn declaration by the assisting Powers of the disinterestedness of their views in intervening in the affairs of Syria ; in the second, the expression of something more than a hope , and something less than a condition, that the Porte itself will set about the exp me this hint ect " work of ameliora tin g th e condition of all classes theacqua intattended last time of asking. N ow , upon thoforegoing I w ould obse r v e that provided the theatre of the massacres be not ex tended beyond the boun ds of Syria, the remain ing Christians pain.otie.aenteadti,cs duly andthpunished, th e the guilty a n d bloody t e mporary agreement t hus concluded, in the face of so many difficulties, is likely to serve effectually all the purposes in view ; and there would seem to be no reason for supposing that the work of intervention need be prolonged beyond the period for which provision has been made. But it is the general persuasion here, founded on heaps of private letters and other sources of information from different parts of the Ottoman Empire, that the Mussulman element has long been preparing for an outburst on a large scale, and that the appearance of the French flag in force on the Syrian territory will be the signal for a general and almost universal fresh development of san guinary fanaticism. That Russia is fully alive to such an eventuality, and is prepared for it, is evidenced by the reservation for which that power dis tinctly stipulated at the recent conferences. ; that She shall not be prevented &wit interfering, single handed, at any moment, in Roumelia, Bosnia, and Bessarabia, or wherever Turks " most do congre- gate," for the purpose of putting down the dis turbances, and that with or without the co-opera- tion of the Sultan. This is the difficulty--this is the pinch, which it has been found impossible to do otherwise than " leate to Providence." For it is impossible for a moment to suppose that if the result to which I have alluded should follow from the landing of the French troops in Syria, the French Government never would withdraw them, sd long as there was any more work to be done, Or any tie* 'idea" for 'c';"hicN to fight. And What a host of fresh cordplicatioris would eteri "present themselves," as the French say. Would, then, these two protocols meet with any better fate than the treaties of Vienna themselves P—Not very likely. The excitement at Athens, whose ambi tion it is again to be " the eye of Greece "—so far as having an eye to the re-establishment of a new Byzantine empire is concerned—is, as might be supposed, intense at present; and the Aus trian, not the Russian element, as was wont to be the case, is now, strange as it may seem, in the ascendant in high places in that city. A private letter from a resident there, dated the 26th ult., contains interesting testimony on this subject. It states that King Otho has given the Order of St. Saviour to his Consul-General at Beyrout, and has conferred the same distinction on M. Francois Lenormant, the young French archwologian, for his writings in favour of Greece and against the Turks, as well as for his archwological works, and recent letter respecting the Syrian outrages, which have carried so much alarm into the hearts of the Musstilman population throughout the entire of the Ottoman territory occupied by the Greeks ; that the inhabitants prepared a regular ovation for a body of fugitives from Syria, who recently arrived in the Pircus, and the Govern ment has since given each of them a grant of land, formed them and their families into a little colony, who are to be supported at the Govern ment e?tpensei and that the very gravest 4events are daily expected id take place in the neigh bouring Turkish provinces. The letter also men tions that a Greek of Epirus has received -within the last few days a letter from a Turkish friend, living in the same province, entreating him to withdraw at once into a place of safety, because the events in Syria are about to be reproduced on a large scale in Macedonia, in Epirus, and in Thessaly—the rising being pro moted alike by the triumph which Mussulman fanaticism has achieved in Syria, and by the apprehension of the Turks that the Greek popu lations in their localities are about to rise on them, encouraged by that portion of Greece which is free—a fear which is far from unlikely to be shortly realised—as an insurrection committee has been already organised, under the presidency of Ad miral Canaris, the father of the Consul-General at Beyrout, mid a great many officers of high rank in the Greek army have resigned their commis sions, with a view of taking part in the move ment. Several companies of infantry have pre pared to desert in a body for the same purpose, and upwards of 2,000 men are already prepared to set off. Another Garibaldi only is wanted to put himself at the head of the movement. In the Patrie of yesterday evening there is a circumstantial account of the different regiments of which the French contingent is to be composed, the whole of the men being of course full of enthusiasm at the thoughts of partans pour la s y r i e . M. Ernest Louet, the paymaster-general of the army of Italy, has been appointed to the same function for the Syrian expedition. A second batch of government navvies has also been sent off; and the departure is announced from Chambery, for either Toulon or Marseilles, of a party of volunteers from the 12th Battalion of Chasseurs, to take part in the expedition. The Baron de Chayelle, who made the Italian campaign es a volunteer, has offered his services to Abd-el-Kader, and they have been accepted. A letter from St. Petersburgh states that the Russian Government sends to Syria a flotilla from the Baltic fleet : one of the ships is the screw steamer Great Admiral, of 809 men and 50 officers. The largest portion of the Baltic fleet is at present at Sweaborg, where it has just been reviewed by the Grand Duke Constantine, and most of the skips are on the eve of sailing for Syria, under the command of R ear- Admiral Boudakoff. He will have under his orders five or six screw line-of-battle ships and several frigates. What if they should enter the Black Sea, join the nucleus which has already been formed in these waters of a new Russian Black Sea fleet, on pretence that the Christian population on its shores were not safe ? This would put the finishing stroke to the repara tion of the disasters which Russia sustained during the Crimean war, and to the condemna tion of the policy, which neither prevented that war, nor utilised its results. This letter also states that the irritation caused by the Syrian barbarities is very great among all classes of the Russian population. It appears that the Tceplitz meeting was brought about through the instrumentality of the King of Bavaria, and at the suggestion chiefly of England ; and that the Prince Regent, before agreeing to meet the Emperor Joseph, stipulated that he was not to be called upon to undertake any burdensome obligation on behalf of Prussia, o r to make any change in his policy. The state ments in certain Rhenish journals asserting that a convention, or at all events certain protocols, were agreed on, is a pure exercise of imagination. But it is impossible not to conclude,•from the 'accounts which have been given of the meeting by the well-informed portions of the Prussian press, and especially in the diplomatic circular recently issued by M. de Schleinitz, that the interview is to be regarded as supplementing all that was wanting 'at the meeting at Baden, and as satis factorily consolidating the integrity of the Germanic territory. There is no further news of Garibaldi ; but, in his case, the proverb " no news is good news " has always held good in a striking manner, both in the recent Italian war, until the Villafranca armistice extinguished his light, and in Sicily ; and I have no doubt it will also hold good on the present occasion. All continued ominously calm at Naples down to the last accounts. M. Romano has failed — he was the only man who was likely to be successful in the attempt—in forming a constitu tional ministry, and the unhappy young monarch finds himself at once paying the debts of the sovereigns whom he succeeds, and the faults of his own wretched bringing up. He has, it seems, described his painful position in a letter to a high personage in Rome, by whom it was, of course, communicated to the Pope. The unhappy mon arch does not conceal from himself, that if he be abandoned by Europe, he must succumb. From one day to another, he says he lives in the ex pectation of being obliged to embark on board the frigate that is to conduct hi m to T r i este . " I will remain," he adds, "to the end, though treason having penetrated into my very house, I shall be forced to withdraw, but I will never give up Sicily." He cannot get over the con duct of the officer (Captain Acton) who com manded the steamers charged to prevent the disembarkation of Garibaldi and the volun teers who accompanied him on his first landing in Sicily, and who so treacherously, in his opinion, fulfilled his mission. The rumour that Baron Brenier had left Naples continues to be contradicted by the semi-official journals here, who add, also, that in consequence of the recent news from Sicily, a great concen tration of troops upon thatcapital has been ordered to take place, and that several regiments had demanded to be called upon " to take part in its to join in the attack! defence," or, perhaps -, By the bye, the return of Capt. Litta, the envoy of the King of Sardinia, from his unsuccessful mission to Garibaldi, is also announced. The he could not comply with his general regrets Majesty's requ est. There is a curious stor y current at Rome re garding Cardinal Barnabo, Prefect of the Propa ganda, an d a deputation of Maronitc priests from Syria. These latter were very ill received by the Cardinal when they waited on him to detail their calamities, and it is thus accounted for :—The Patriarch of the Maronites, who has exercised for a long series of years the right of direct nomina tion of the suffragan bishops of his see, has recently appointed two bishops without applying to the cardinal, as head of the Propaganda, for his con sent; and although the Pope has never yet given any formal deliverance on this question of right, the Cardinal was not onlx very cold in his manner of receiving these poor sheep belonging to the flock of the contumaceous eastern chief shepherd, but he is said to have actually gone so far as to declare that they ought to regard " the massacre of the Christiana of the Lebanon as a merited chastisement of their resistance to his authority'." General Goyon is positively not to return to Rome. In the latest news of the Patric of yesterday evening, I see it announced that a Turkish steam corvette arrived dt ijeyrodt on the 2nd instant, having on board one of the Sultan's Secretaries of State, who is charged with a special mission td Fuad Pacha, Commissioner Extraordinary of the Ottoman Porte in Syria; also the names of the various military officers and other high func tionaries, Who accompanied the Emperor yester day; oil his joiiriiey froth St: Cloud to the camp at Chalons: the Impetial party left the Palam at half-past one o'cloclL A word more respecting the sti ressio Of M. Ponsard's new play. It seems that die Minister of State sent for M. Lundi 'personally, and taxi veyed to him the intimation that the piece must be discontinued; and justified the measure on the ground of the immoral tendency of some portion of the third act, and the frivolit4 of the second whereas the author and his friends contend that his object was of the very opposite character, that the scenes complained of, and the entire purpose of the drama, were to exhibit the odious ness of vice and the triumphs of virtue. It is the old story, " Honi soil v nanl y pense," for there is seldom much difficulty in introducing a questionable performance on the Paris boards, providing it be trifling in its outline, and steer clear of social problems. The Bourse, yesterday, was almost in a com plete state of stagnation, the ranks of the specu lators were extremely thin, the business transacted was not of the least importance, and prices were entirely without buoyancy.
