The Funds closed at the following prices : Consols Money . 931 Account IIP 4 Exchequer Bills . . . . Bank Stock Three per Cents 934 4 Next Account The following appeared in our later editions of yesterday : The public continue to make investments on a moderate scale, and the funds have again shown an upward tendency. In the foreign exchanges this after noon, there was no alteration of importance from the rates of last post. About £4,000 in bar gold was taken from the Bank for exportation.— Times. The funds opened this morning with a firm appear ance, and temporarily attained an improvement of a per cent. The immediate: stimulus was occasioned by a purchase of £70,000 consols for money for the Court of Chancery, together with another of about £30,000 for the account. In the afternoon a partial reaction took place, and the closing quotations were per cent. above those 6f yesterday. In the share markets prices were firm. Several of the principal home railway stocks exhibit a fresh advance. The discount market was quiet : the best bills were taken :at k or I per cent. below the Bank rate. The demand at the 'Bank was limited.—Daily News. The LONDON RAILWAY SHARE MARKET to-day was improved in feeling, and prices advanced. The principle feature was the movement in Mid land Stock, which opened at a rise of no less than 3 per cent., in consequence of the official announce ment of a dividend at the rate of 61 per cent. per annum.

The-French Emperor's letter appeared at full length in our second. edition of yesterday, and will be found in another column to-day. Like everything that Louis Napoleon says and does, it is clever, and to the point. All the papers have leading articles on it ; but, after all, there seems little to be made oat of it that is new, or calculated to reassure us. Tt is undoubtedly a most interesting document in many respects, and cannot:fail to secure much attention. Yet it stands to reason that, considering the quarter it comes from, its assertions and arguments are to be read with suspicion. Louis Napo leon did deceive England in the matter of Savoy and Nice ; there can be no doubt about that ; and we are not likely to be persuaded to overlook the' offence by any ex post facto attempts to explain its pretended necessity. These . explanations come too late. Falsum in uno falsum in-omnibus is a maxim we cannot help thinking of, when Lbuis Napoleon tries to convince us that he means no harm. There can be little doubt that hitherto he has had the best of it, so far as England is concerned ; and the question naturally arises, what does he want now by addressing theie pacific assurances to us. ' Dotb he not " - protest too much ?" We don't propose to attack him—have. never dreamt of such a thing. 16 he then anxious to suppress our preparations for defence ? Ah, there's the rub ! He evidently wishes to allay the military ardour of the English, and to apply the chloro form bottle to the bulldog that insists upon barking hi alarm to the great annoyance of the Imperial burglar He would soothe us down, and lull us to sleep, that II( may steal another march upon us. But it is not to ba done. Deceived once by him, we will trust him no more. His arguments about the relative proportions of his land and sea forces are most deceptive and one-sided. His pleadings in excuse of his haste to despatch an expedition to Syria, when he attributes his precipitancy to the transport of indignation he felt on hearing of the massacres, reminds us very forcibly of Macbeth's excuse for murdering the King's grooms, and, we fear, it is equally hollow, and traceable to a similar consciousness of guilt. In short, we cannot believe anything that Louis Napoleon says. We prefer reading his views and intentions in facts rather than in words ; and we venture to say the Imperial epistle will produce no more effect upon the English mind, by way of staying our preparations or allaying our anxieties, than it has done upon the Parisian mind— and that is ntl. They know the Emperor too well to believe all the fine things he says. The logic of facts is • irresistible. A .sequel to M. Edmond About's pamphlet, "Lz Prusse en 1860," has made its appearance in Paris at Dentu's, the Government publisher. "La Syrie a l' Alliance Busse" has, like M. About's work, the merit of frankness ; and, as it is understood to pro ceed from the Government workshop where such productions are manufactured, it' has naturally pro duced great sensation. It candidly avows that the two . great empiree of the Continent —that of France and Russia—have, among many, other points of contact, a ‘i want of eximnsion," the satisfaction of which mist be the aim of an "intelligent system of policy," and it proceeds to make out.that this "want of expansion" can be satisfied .by sundry compensations to the powers concerned, with two exceptions—Austria and England. Russia is to be bribed, by the offer of Constantinople, to assist France in the revendieation of the Rhine fron 'Prussia is to receive a portion of Austria by way of compensation, and Syria is to be turned into a fief for Abd,cl-liader. If England should object, Malta, Gib raltar, and the lonian Islands are to be taken from her as securities for her good behaviour, and then, the legitiniate " wants of expansion being satisfied," Europe may be allowed to enjoy the blessings of peace. This in a few words is the substance of this impudent manifesto, which will in no small degree 'confirm the impression of distrust which prevails throughout Europe of the Emperor of the French. The mere substance, how ever; fails to convey an idea of the peculiar insolence and sophistry of this last Government effusion. It will prove serviceable as a seasoning to the savoury epistle which has had such a wonderfully softening effect upon the, Horning Post. The friends of Italy are seriously alarmed at the tele graphic news that Garibaldi has consented to an armis tice with the goternor of Messina, and fear that the pressure of France, unaccountably seconded by Lord John Russell, will have produced an effect fa1.,1 to the Italian cause. We, however, await with good hope further-: news. The present telegrams coming from. Naples are, consequently, unreliable. The short truce of Palermo was at first commented upon in a like disheartening manner, but it turned out well, and so we trust will this. According to a Paris advice, we are to understand that the preparatory sitting on Monday of the Ambassa dors of the great Powers, before the meeting of the conference, took place on. account of an invitation from the . Turkish Ambassador. The representative of the Porte wished to ex - plain beforehand, that if the Sultan authorised him to adhere to the convention under cer tain reservations, it was only in order not to be the cause of a conflict between France and England. The essential reserve which the Porte, wished to make was that, before adopting the convention for regulating foreign intervention in Syria, mention should be made in the same of the spontaneous desire of the Sultan to arrest the effusion of blood in Syria, and to accept the co-operation of . his allies to that end. jl. A telegram from St. Petersburg, dated Monday, states that a fleet is ready at Cronstadt to make speedy sail for Syria. It consists of three steam frigates. The Nord says that the above fleet will be strengthened by three or four other Russian vessels now cruising in the Mediterranean. At Vienna, we are informed, official intelligence has been received from Constantinople, that in Bulgaria and in the neighbouring provinces, massacres of the Chris tians have been organised, and that the Porte has, there fore, taken the necessary measures for arresting in ties mostefficacious manner, the unmerciful attempts. - Forty persons have been killed or wounded by the military, in suppressing a disturbance at Constantinople, arising out of the opposition of •several- thousinds of schismatical Armenians to the burial of Protestant Armenians in a cemetery claimed exclusively for the .former. The military interfered at the request of Sir Henry Bulwer. . The Opinion Nationale endorsel p as a piece of news, accredited by its_ own private information, that one of the Emperor's projects is to make . Abd-el-Kader Viceroy of Damascus and Jerusalem, on conditions analogous to that of the viceroyalty of Egypt. There would seem to be little doubt as to the immi nence of a ministerial crisis. The Globe states that "A meeting of .the Liberal party will be held at Lord Palmersten'S official residence in Downing-street, on. Monday afternoon. The discussion on the customs duty on paper - of foreign manufacture will take place - in the Howie on the same,evening, .and it is no secret that the Opposition intend to make common cause with the, paper-making interest, and endeavour to defeat the Government in carrying out . the provisions of the corn-• mercial treaty with France, to which the national word is pledged through the two estates of the realm. The object of the Tories is avowedly to drive Mr. Gladstone out of the Administration. In this they show their ignorance of the head of the Government who is not in the habit of sacrificing a colleague to the interests of any party in Parliament. The Ministry are united upon the point, and have every reason to believe that the general body of the party will be found as united as . the Ministers." So says the Ministerial organ.

The Freight Market is depressed this week, owing to the abundance of tonnage offering. For short voyages rates are much lower, and but little inquiry for ships. East India and China freights are weaker, but the report of the homeward rates having fallen, has checked any considerable reduc tion in outward rates. Pacific and Mediterranean freights are unchanged. Brazilian and West India rates are fully 3s per ton lower. To U. S. ports freights remain without quotable change from last week.

Thouvenel having adhered to this demand, the conference, at its meeting of Monday, entirely changed the original plan of the convention already agreed to by the Great Powers. The six articles have been carefully revised in such a manner as to remove all that might excite the susceptibilities of the Porte, or that might even indirecilitt attack the sovereign independence of the Sultan. The convention having been so greatly modified, the representatives of the Great Powers will refei to their respective — Courts before definitively signing the same. The Conference has, therefore, been adjourned sine die, in order that all the ambassadors may be able, in the meantime, to receive full powers for the signature of the convention, which must necessarily precede the despatch of troops. From Damaicas we have advices, via Marseilles, to the 12th ult., confirming that 6,000 houses belonging to the Christians have been destroyed. The Jewish quarter has been, burnt. The Turkish houses in which the Christian women had found refuge have also been burnt.. As the massacres lasted for eighty hours, it is difficult to ascertain the number of victims. 2,000 Christians were still under Abd-el-Kader's protection, but suffering from hunger. Several consuls were at Abd-el-Kader's residence, who gave refuge also to several English- The new governor of Damascus had arrived with 1,200 soldiers. It was not certain whether,the disturbances could be' considered as terminated. The Imperial de Smyrna, in confirming the above, expresses doubts, however, whether the Belgian Consul had been killed. Although , peace had been signed'by the r tgbes of the Lebanon, Averal Christian Scheiks refused to give their adherence to the treaty, as they considered it illusory. Some wretched and starving Christians had endeavoured to return to the mountains. The Paris correspondent of the Daily hews asserts that the Porte insists upon the military forces sent by the Powers being treated as auxiliaries under the com mand of Fuad Pacha, as Generalissimo. Russia wished to have a general license to interfere. in all parts of the Ottoman empire. It is also said that England insists, "as a condition of her concurrence in the intervention," that British troops should occupy St. Jean d'Acre. France, it:is alleged, violently opposes this occupation. We learn from Constantinople that, on the 25th ult., the Max : qui t s de Lavalette had notified to the Porte the resolutions of France in reference to an expedition to Syria. It is said that the Sultan has requested the Viceroy of ,Egypt to send an auxiliary army of 10,000 men. " THOU SHALT NOT KILL." epidemic. against it. EVERY age and condition of life is daily contri buting its share to the names inscribed on the long and bloody roll of the murdered and the murderers of the present generation with a start ling frequency that might appal the stoutest heart and force serious reflection upon the most callous and indifferent. Old and young, rich and poor, men, women, and children,—persons whose names stand high in general estimation, and per sons who can scarcely claim a place in the humblest sphere,—have swarmed in to swell the ranks of the dark and dismal procession. If to the murders we add the suicides, manslaughters, infanticides, rapes, and other brutal assaults on the young and the helpless, we sum up a cata logue of crime now being transacted with a horrible degree of rapidity, as it were before our very eyes, which is almost too much for us seri ously to dwell upon. Not alone amid the jungles of India, among the hills and valleys of Lebanon, on the plains of Morocco, or in the dungeons of Naples, have atrocities been perpetrated which dis grace humanity. In the midst of the more advanced civilisation of western Europe, in France, Spain, Austria and Italy, murders of the deepest dye have been frightfully numerous. Even in free and enlightened England,reports of coldblooded acts of fatal violence scarcely cease to ring in our ears from hour to hour. From the land in the far west there comes ever and anon, wafted across the mighty ocean, the wail of sorrow and shame from the victims of blood-red hands, until the mighty tale of woe and misery, rushing in upon us from every quarter of the globe, well nigh frightens us at the thought of human depravity and degrada tion. Whence flows this ever-surging tide of evil and -wretchedness, the waves of which seem to surround us and mount higher and higher from day to day, threatening like a atoral deluge to overwhelm and annihilate the whole fabric of moral and social life ? Bow shall we steni current and dash back. its desolating waves towards that black gulf of perdition from forth which they roll with such portentous might ? Did our feelings permit tis for a moment to scan more minutely the ghastly details of 'this enormous totality of crime, we should be still more. perplexingly amazed and horrified at sight of the minute ramifications of the evil, and the diabolical tortuosities and varied character istics of its perpetrators. There is a wide differ ance between the cases of the audacious find who, under the noontide gaze of the sun— emblem of purity and benevolence—foully attacks the victim of his cupidity or wrath .with pistol and dagger, and of the cunning imp who secretly employs vials of deleterious compounds to emaci ate and exhaust the object he pretends to hug in affectionate embraces. There is scarcely a com parison between benighted avenger of a wounded sentiment or thwarted ambition, and the loafing, sponging miscreant who values pelf above life. There is little in common between the man of education and social experience, who morbidly and deliberately sets at nought his neighbour's right to live, and the coarse clown who ignorantly follows perhaps a passing impulse to brutality. How vast the dis tinction between the assassin who strikes down his superior in position and . power, and the old hag who slowly -wounds to the death the child entrusted to her up-bringing ? What comparison between the unhappy wretch who murders a stranger for his purse, surrendering himself to justice perhaps within the hour, and the awfully mysterious perpetrator of a child murder, whose detection baffles the utmost ingenuity, and resists the most tempting 'rewards Among suicides what endless varieties ranges themselves under the more general heads of insanity, jealousy, detected fraudulency, despair, misery, wounded pride, and religious delusion. To attempt to describe the endless varieties of form under which. death is dealt out by the murderer, or sought for by the . suicide, were equally dreadful and hopeless. No terror has been too hideous, no device too mean, to be employed by either class of delinquents .n the execution of the fatal mission towards which, hell-bound, they have been impelled. One might suppose that even in our own day the whole power and ingenuity of the infernal regions had been well nigh, if not utterly, exhausted in furnishing motives and suggesting means to men for the enactment of every species of capital wrong 'that could insult the Deity and disgrace mankind. The man who merely stands aghast at the painful picture presented by our criminal annals ; or who simply and softly indulges in sentimental generalities upon the degeneracy of the race, is good for nothing, or worse. Such men are themselves apt to fall victims to the horrifying We must search for the cause and act To discover the cause and effectually cure it are indeed profound difficulties in one sense, while in another light the solution is,at hand. We cannot doubt the all-powerful efficacy of moral and religious influences, nor do we doubt the certain progress of the species in moral and religious development. We are not misanthropic, nor do we Jlespair of human nature under the guidance of proper influences. There is much, hOwever, of what are called merely secondary causes, with which we may and must deal, whose tendency is either to' deteriorate or to ameliorate the condition of mankind, and which we dare .not overlook with impunity. Who can doubt for instance, that the present revolutionary and warlike state of Europe exercises a considerable influence over the minds of the people. Past history proves that epochs characterised by " wars and rumours of wars" have been unusually stained by deeds of violence in private life. Times of political and anarchical excitement have, like wise, been noted for the prevalence of crimes against life and the person. How se r ious a respon sibility, then, rests with our political leaders. It may, seem little more than a pastime for such men as Mr. JOHN BRIGHT to stalk through the country, talking revolution and exciting the masses ; it may appear to such as him all in the way of business, to follow a policy which tends to bring this"country faze to face with a great Power like France, and, by want of loyalty and patriotism, thereby to endanker our national prosperity ,and peace; but see what further consequences such a fatal policy involves. The whole population animated by an irrepressible sense of danker and self-preservation, are roused to thoughts_ of military. action. The national mind inevitably assumes an irritable and bellicose condition, and is prepared to retaliate the violence it awaits. Add to this the effect. of Mr. BRIGHT'S venomous attempts to embitter class against class; and, besides the general belligerent feeling alluded to, we - have that of eispicion and distrust, if not hatred and active animosity, between those who oughtto befriends and neighbours--fellow-citizens of the same state. With no wish to strain this argument for mere party or political purposes, we think it must be held—perhaps even Mr. BRIGHT himself would'admit—that these have their own weight in producing the present highly abnormal state Of morality among our population. Mental calmness and a sense of national and individual security are the first requisites to the subsidence of the present deplorable state of excitement in the more violent passions of the population ; and , while teachers, preachers, and priests exercise their sacred- vocations in training the people to correct morals and manners, let it be the care of the people' of England, as a political body, t o discourage and discountenance in every way that bastard republicigism and disguised revolutionism which finds its prototypes and champions in Mr. JOHN BRIGHT and others of the same school of political demagogism. FOREIGN INTELLIGENCE (FROM OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT.) PARIS, Wednesday, August 1, 1860 The only observations made by the Patric in its morning edition, on the Em p ero r's letter to M. de Persigny, are, that th e letter " i s at pre sent serving as a text for the reflections of several English- journals," some of which it reproduces, and that the Imperial communication " contains a ssurances the most pacific and faith ful , and has produced in England an immense effect." m any of the papers ignore the subject altogether. Several Viennese journals announce that a corps of observation will shortly be concentrated in the Austrian Provinces bordering on the Ottoman frontier, from which, it is inferred —firstly, that grave events are anticipated as likely to occur in Servia ; and, secondly, that the measure is taken in concert with Prussia, and is one of the results of the Tceplitz meeting, at which, it is now also affirmed, the question between Austria and Prussia as to the command of the federal army, which is at present being ventilated in the Ger manic Diet, was amicably resolved. The Paris press which is far from viewing with affability the recent interview between the Emperor Joseph and Victor Emmanuel, takes pleasure in noticing that the Hungarians are far from being satisfied with the "concessions i nsu f. fisantes" of the Austrian Government, and are energetically demanding the re-establishment of their ancient constitution and the reunion to Hungary of the provinces which were violently detached from it in 1848; and also, that the num ber of troops in and around Warsaw is augment ing every day, while no less than 120,000 men additional, are on their march from the interior of Russia to join the enormous force already con centrated in that locality. These facts are obviously intended to be regarded as a set off against the good effects of the vaunted reconcilia tion between Austria and Prussia. It is added that the Czar is to visit Warsaw in person ere very long, and it need excite no . surprise to learn that a counter meeting is appointed between his Majesty and the Emperor Napoleon, the "pour parlors" of which, it is shrewdly suspected, have been arranged for some time past. On the other hand, it is right that I should not be silent re specting another, and rather a diffe rent version, which is at present circulated, of the motives by which the Emperor Alexander is in fluenced in thus strengthening his European fron tier. Some people do not hesitate to say that they see in the results of the Tcepl itz meetin g the pected origin of th e letter of Louis Napoleon to his devoted frie nd and servant Persigny, which is odi u n n g expl o sion p p io p c haracterised as "quite an r ex to the .of confraternity." According wiseacres to whom I am now alluding, Francis Joseph and the Prince Regent, besides coming to a good u nderstanding with ea ch o ther as to their foreign policy, have since obtained the concurrence in their line of action, of Russia—which Power, a s is well known, has of late been very much taken up in watching, with anything but a friendly eye , the progress of revolution in the south o f Europe, being perfectly alive to the fact, that, once Naples and the Pontifical States are invaded by a Garibaldian eruption, this. revolu tionary wave would easily be wafted from thence to Hungary, and from Hungary to Poland; they therefore suppose that, in presence of this double, and perhaps triple alliance, Which assumes almost the proportions of a coalition, the French Emperor has astutely hit upon the expedient of drawing closer the bonds of union with that nation in which liberal instincts have a home, and where the same sympathy which now animates France in favour of " nationalities" is universally felt. The epistle in question is, therefore, to be regarded as a political counterpoise to the interview between the chiefs of the two great Germanic Monarchies; to which conjecture I would venture to add ano her—namely, that it was considered a likely means of bridging over the obstacles which still present themselves to the sailing of the Syrian expedition. These obstacles, which, if not insurmountable, are yet to be overcome, have, it appears, assumed - - a new phase. The Porte desires to provide for the eventualities of the future, as well as for the exi- gencies of the moment. It proposes, as a condi tion of its acquiescence in the expedition, that the French troops shall be subordinated to the autho rity of conihiissiOners named by the Sultan; that the troops shall act only on the requisition of these commissioners ; and lastly, that their • num bers shall always remain below the amount of the Turkish forces despatched to the seat of the dis turbance's. The Porte also, I am infurmed, insists that the embarkation of the French troops shall be delayed till the close of the negotiations. But further, it is rumoured here, that England con sents to be a party to the convention only on the understanding . that the objects of it shall be ex clusively limited to Syria ; to which it is an swered, for Russia, that any intervention would be ineffectual and incomplete which did not secure the safety and protection of Chris tians in all parts of the Turkish dominions, wherever there was reason to apprehend danger rom outbursts of Mussulman fanaticism. I must say I think Russia is right on this point. But however that may be, you may rely upon it, that the foregoing are the principal, if not the only reasons, for the delay which has taken place in signing the convention ; and they are in many respects of a nature not to encourage the expecta tion of an early extrication—in fact, I believe the Conference on this subject is very much in the same position as the long talked of Meeting for settling the questio vexata of Savoy—i.e. adjourned sine die. At the same time, the latest accounts from Toulon assert that France has resolved to adhere to the day already fixed for the departure of the expedition, viz., the 4th, as I mentioned in my letter of yesterday, and says that Turkey and the other Powers must rest satisfied with her having agreed in principle to all the stipulations to which her assent has been asked. The Opinions Nationale publishes the substance of a letter said to have been written by King Victor Emmanuel to Garibaldi, begging him to rest upon his laurels and negotiate--a request with which it is said the Dictator has refused to comply. But there must surely be some " mis take" in some quarter, for M. Litta, who was the bearer of the King's letter to Garibaldi, was not to see him till this morning. It has, however, been since announced—though I don't advise you to believe the news absolutely- —that an armistice, for an unlimited time, has been signed in Sicily between the belligerent parties, and that the Neapolitans are to hold the citadel of Messina until the conclusion of the negotiations at present pending. The Naples telegram com municating this (Navas-Bullier), states that the forts of Syracuse and Augusta are also to remain in the hands of the Royalists ; but there is ano ther telegram of the same date from Genoa, in which it is said that the Royal troops were on the point of evacuating the citadel of Messina. Further intelligence is, therefore, needful. Garibaldi is much blamed for having shot seve ral individuals after the battle of Milazzo, but if these persons were composed of the late Neapo lisan police, whose lives had been spared by him formerly, on condition that they should not fight against him, he is not to be bladed, but the re verse, in my opinion, for thus dispo , in- , of the fellows. In Naples, as things are getting no better, it is not too much to suppose that they must be getting worse. There appears to be no confidence in men or measures, and everything, by last accounts was at a standstill, in anticipation of Garibaldi's arrival. At Rome, according to the statement of one who writes from that city on the 24th, everything is getting blacker and blacker. To every proposi tion which comes from Paris his Holiness con tinues to reply " non possumus." The cholera has come to Valencia, in Spain, as well as the eclipse, and several members of families of rank have fallen victims to it. If this scourge continues its ravages, it is anticipated that the greater part of the inhabitants will leave Madrid;where its approach is daily looked for. As " explanations " seem to be quite the order of the day at present, so far as the acts of the French Government are concerned, it may be as well that I should mention the following reason which has been assigned for the recent augmen tation in the number and in the pay of the members of . the military staff—viz., that the changes were requisite in order to provide for the case of the Government finding itself com pelled to put on foot suddenly an army of 600,000 men ; an explanation which is certainly quite as candid as it is satisfactory. The following mysterious and romantic adven ture, which has just occurred here, is creating no little noise, and is said - to be in some way or other mixed up with the Eastern question, but, in what way, I am really unable to say : In a small house in an aristocratic quarter of Paris, resides a family, consisting of a foreign count, his wife, and their six children. The countess is the daughter of a well-known and very wealthy French duke, who, not having approved of the marriage, has ceased to acknow ledge-.her. The other day, the eldest of the children, a girl twelve years old, but tall for her age, stout, and remarkably pretty, was taking the fresh air on a little terrace projecting from the house, when a woman, standing at the window of the next house, said to her—" My dear child, make haste down, and come with me ; I am to take you to your grandpapa, who wants to see you, and make it up with your mamma ; but don't say a word about it, and slip away without being per ceived, for it is wished to create a snrprise. - The young girl, who liked the idea of the little plot, did what she was told, and, accompanied by t h e u nknown, got into a cab that d rew up at the door. After driving some distance, the cab stopped at a milliner's, and a new bonnet was purchased for her, on the pretext that the duke did not like the shape of the one she wore. The cab was then exchanged for an omnibus, and afterwards a second cab was engaged: all which manceuvres began to disturb the young girl. She was told, in answer to her inquiries, that her grandfather lived a long way off; that the duke, in fact, dwelt in the country, and that it was necessary to take the rail to reach him. The child concealed her suspicions, and smiled as if assenting to what her conductress said ; but on the latter leaving her alone for an instant, to go into a house to call for something, she jumped out of the cab, hailed another one which was passing at the moment -and boldly ordered the driver to take her, baCk to her friends, which he did at once, and in safety. The most active search had been made for her during her absence, which lasted four hours. She was herself able, on her return, to guide the police in their investigations ; and the same evening the author of her abduction and her accomplices were arrested. It appears, as I have said above, that some revelations are expected which will connect the circumstance with events in Syria; but the whole affair, the facts of which are strongly vouched for, is at present involved in my 3 A ' frightful case of suicide is mentioned in na B e l g ian paper, as having occu rre d l ast wee k, on the line between Malines and Anvers.

H alf an hour afterwards, on the aPproach of the last train from Anvers to Brussels, he was observed by a gate-keeper on the line to throw himself upon the rails, right in whole front of the train. the o f the carriages of which pa ssed over his body.

The body of the unfortu nate man was found to be shockingly muti lated, both the legs being separated fro m - the body an d the hea a lmost smashed to pieces. In his waistcoat pocket there was discovered a note written in pe ncil, in which he asked for, giveness from his farnily for the dreadful act he was about to commit, and recommended his two children to his brother, who is the manager of the Academy of Painting at Louvain, and by whom he had been supported for some time past. It turned out that the note had been written in a public-houge near the station, and that the deceased wa s addicted to habits of intemperance, which doubtless led to his sad end.

A letter from Milan describes the first indica cations of the mutinous spirit of the Hungarian regiment of Don Miguel in garrison at Mantua. During the movements of a field-day some of the Hungarian soldiers, having obtained ball-cart ridge, fired into a corps of Chasseurs noted for its loyalty to the Emperor. A sergeant of the Chasseurs was mortally wounded. After steps were taken to discover the criminals several of the Hungarian officers deserted. SICILY. The official Gazette of Turin states that the loss of the Neapolitan troops at Milazzo was 580 killed, wounded, and prisoners. Garibaldi's force lost 60 killed, 100 wounded, and 17 prisoners. After the town was taken Garibaldi ordered thirty-nine of the inhabitants, among whom were serveral gensdarmes, to be shot for pouring boil ing oil and water on his men during the attack. SYRIA. GENOA, July 31. The Corriere Mercantile publishes an authentic account of the massacres at Damascus up to the 10th of July inclusive. Three thousand Chris tians had taken refuge in the citadel, which was occupied by the Algerians under Abd-el-Kader. The town was still in the power of the murderers and incendiaries to the number of 2,400, the greater part of whom were Druses and Bedouins. The Turkish garrison consisted of 5,000 men, inactive or hostile. The soldiers had driven the Christians into the flames of the burning houses. The same account computes the number of vic tims at from 3,000 to 4,000, but states that this may be an exaggerated statement, as the state of terror which prevailed will not allow of its being verified.

The following appeared in our later edition's of yesterday : POLICY OF THE EMPEROR NAPOLEON TOWARDS ENGLAND. The Times has been requested to publish the following important letter from the Emperor Napoleon to the Ambassador of France : ST. CLOUD, July 25, 1860. My dear Persigny,—Affairs appear to me to be so complicated, thanks to the mistrust excited everywhere since the war in Italy, that I write to you in the hops that a conversation, in perfect frankness with Lord Palmerston, will remedy the existing evil. Lord Palmerston knows me ; and. when I affirm, I think he will believe me. Well, you can tell him from me, in the most explicit manner, that since the peace of Villafranca I have had but one thought, one object, to inaugurate a new era of peace, and to live on the best terms with all my neighbours, and especially with England. I had renounced Savoy and Nice ; but the extraordinary additions to Piedmont alone caused me to resume the desire to see reunited to France provinces essentially French. But it will be objected that you. wish for peace; and that you increase immoderately the mili tary forces of France. I deny the fact in every sense. My army and my fleet have in them nothing of a threatening character. My steam navy is even far from being adequate to our requirements, and the number of steamers does not nearly equal that of sailing ships deemed necessary at the time of King Louis Philippe. I have 400,000 under arms, but deduct from this amount 60,000 in Algeria, 6,000 at Rome, 8,000 in China, 20,000 gensdarmes, the sick and the new conscripts, and you will see what is the truth —that my regiments are of smaller effective strength than during the preceding reign. The only addition to the army list has been made by the creation of the Imperial Guard. Moreover, while wishing for peace, I desire also to organise the forces of the country on the best possible footing, for if foreigners have only seen. the bright side of the last war, I myself, close at hand, have witnessed the defects, and I wish to remedy them. Having said this much, I have, since Villafranca, neither done nor even thought anything which could alarm any one. When Lavalette started for Constantinople, the instructions which I gave him were confined to this,—Use every effort to maintain the status quo. The interest of Franco is that Turkey should live as long as possible. Now, then, occur the massacres in Syria, and it is asserted that I am very glad to find a new occasion of making a little war —of playing a new part. Really, people give me credit for very little common sense. If I instantly proposed an expedition, it was because my feelings were those of the people which has put me at its head, and the intelligence from Syria transported me with indignation. My . first thought, nevertheless, was to come to an understanding with England. What other interest than that of humanity could induce me to send troops into that country ? Could it be that possession of it would increase my strength ? Can I conceal from myself that Algeria, notwithstanding its future advantages, is a source of weakness to France, which for thirty years has devoted the purest of its blood and its gold ? I said it in 1852, at Bordeaux, and my opinion is still the same,—l have great conquests to make, but only in France; her interior organis ation, her moral development, the increase of her resource have still immense progress to make. There a fi e ld ex i s ts vast enough for my ambition, and sufficient to satisfy it. It was difficult for me to come to an understanding with England on the subject of Central Italy, because I was - bound by the peace of Villafranca. As to
