THE LEVANT.

A letter dated Constantinople, May 25, says:
Mehemet-Ali Bey, one of the youngest sons of
Mehemet Ali, late Viceroy of Egypt, has arrived in
Constantinople, and been well received by the Sultan.
He will remain here to complete his studies.
A letter from Aleppo says :
Youssouf Bey, who was civil governor after the revolt in
this city, and who is considered as the richest and most
powerful Arab in the country, has just been arrested by
order of the Governor•Oeneral hfehemed Pacha ; ho
to be sent to Constantinople, where an examination into his
conduct will be instituted. This arrest has produced a very
salutary effect on the Arab population, and takes from them
any idea of again disturbing the country. Youssouf Bey
was the intimate friend of Abdullab Bey, who played such
an important part during the disturbances, and it was
thought his immense riches would shield him from any pro-
ceedings. The imperial government, however, appears to
be determined that, without distinction of rank in future,
every one found guilty of being concerned in that insur-
rection shall meet with the punishment which he merits.
From Athens we learn that the Prince of Olden-
burg, brother of the Queen of Greece, embarked at
the Yyreus, on the 20th, for Coustsntinople. He will
remain for a fortnight or three weeks in that city,
and then return to Athens, after which be is to pro-
ceed to Germany.

TheMiliantbeit of stile Cowed' has just rendered a
decree relative to the assassination of the minister
Korflotaki. It sob& be fedi the Court of Assizes the
throe, indi4iduals accused sad imprisoned from the
beginning, end adds to than Kiriacouli. The acres
numbers of the Mavtomichali family, who were
charged with being accessory to the murder, have
been acquitted, in despite of the hostility of the ca-
binet against this family. Two of the judges were
, dismissed for having procured this sentence, which
I has been referred to the Court of Appeal, in the hope
; of its being reversed.

UNITED STATES.
Our correspondent writes :
NEW YORE, MAY 27.
Passing down Wall-street to-day I noticed in front
of one of the express offices the luggage of the
British minister, marked for the Boston steamer.
Most probably his lady (as we say here) will sail from
that port to-morrow. Sir Henry has made hosts of
fr'ends in this country, though he recently offended
the Irish by talking about the Celts. Wo ask now,
and humbly ask, when will all Ireland be landed
hero ? We have scarce a hospital, or an almshouse,
or a liquor shop untenanted, and we certainly should
make the necessary arrangements in advance fur all
the interesting and valuable accessions to our popula-
tion. But we are equally obliged just now
by our kind friends the Italians. Some hundreds of
their beggars have appeared in our streets within
the last three months, covered over with sores and
stains produced artificially, idiots, boys with mice,
and shipwrecked mariners. I think that Italy, not-
withstanding the smallness of her marine, produces
the greatest number of shipwrecked mariners in the
world! Well, we first have all this beautiful dis-
play of Europcanism in our streets ; we next find
these men voting at our elections, next getting the
small offices of the country, and next affiliating with
every possible robber who wishes to take Canada or
steal Cuba. Let our true friends in England under-
stand all this. Let them not abuse this country for
the disorders that may occur in it. They are attri-
butable to any but ourselves.
One of the principal arguments used by the South
Carolinians in favour of secession is, that the North-
ern States are now governed by a foreign rabble.
We have recently received news from Lima as late
as the Bth of April. It appears that General Jose
Rutin° Echenique received 2,39:: electoral votes for
President, and has been declared constitutionally
elected. There were five other candidates. The
Peruvians are very much gratilieff.at the result. It
is the first time, they say, that the ballot has ever
directed the choice of a President.

Our domestic news is of the usual character. The
President has gaiety reached Washington. Mr.
Webster is making a brilliant progress homeward,
speaking to delighted audiences everywhere, and
receiving the greatest applause and attention. Ile
has made himself very popular by this tour, and looms
up in the political horizon larger than ever.
The cholera has broken out in the west and some
deaths have occurred. No apprehension is entertained
of its becoming general.
' The concerts of Jenny Lind are as well attended
as ever. We hear that some of the greatest artists
of the Italian opera are coming to this country ; and
as our love of music is now a fixed fact," there can
be no doubt but that a visit to the United States will
be extremely profitable to them.
The President and a portion of his cabinet passed
quietly through this city, on the 23rd, on their return
to Washington. They have been warmly received
throughout their journey, and their well-timed and
energetic appeals to the people to stand by the com-
promises of the law and the guarantees of the consti-
tution, have had a palpable effect. There is a great
' change come over us within a few weeks past. We
are unanimous in the wish to get rid of slavery, but
not at the expense of three millions of white lives
and fifty millions of treasure, with a perfect chaos
in our public affairs.
It is a very singular fact, which has only come
to light within a few days past, that the large
slaveholders in South Carolina are almost without
exception opposed to secession. The noise and
clamour have been made by men scarcely owning
any slaves at all. I must confess I was much asto-
nished at learning this fact, but I draw front it the
conclusion that the movement in that state is not
one of the property holders, but of the demagogues.

THE CAPE OF GOOD HOPE.

The following particulars are related in the Cape
Town Moil, which had been received from their cor-
respondent at Graham's Town, dated the Bth of
April:
On Saturday evening, a sane of no very creditable char-
acter occurred in this town. It was known that the Rev.
Mr. Renton was in town, and thut he and Mrs. Renton had
taken up their quarters at Mr. M'Kenzie's hotel, in Bath-
urst-street. As soon as it was dusk, a crowd assembled, and
having constructed a rude transparency showing the in-
scription " Extermination of the Rebels," and also made
up a figure to personate the rev. gentleman, they paraded
the streets with them for several hours, and eventually re-
mained in front of the hotel, where they proceeded to burn
the efagy, and also several tar-barrels. it not been
for the interference of some of the respectable inhabitants,
it is to be feared much mischief would have been done. At
this period of the evening some two or three stones were
thrown, which broke as many panes of glass in the windows.
Previously to the aasembling in front of the hotel, the mob
had visited the house of Mr Tudhope, having been informed
that Mr. Renton was there, and had broken s veral panes of
glass, and one of the panels of his front door. After leer.
ins M'Kenzie's hotel they went to the Rev. Mr. Smith'',
but there did no damage. About 12 o'clock he crowd dis-
persed, and quietness for a time reigned in the .treets; but
about two o'clock on Sunday morning, a number of per-
sons again assembled, and demolished about 2i or 30 panes of
glass in Mr. M'Kenzie's house, by throwing stones through
the windows, which also did considerable damage to the
property within. The state of popular feeling runs very
high against the missionaries said to be at all concerned in
the events which have taken place at the Kat River, and of
this the above may be considered as an index. On Monday
the authorities were employed in investigating the aff.ur,
and many depositions were taken, but we cann t learn
that any measures were adopted to prevent a recurrence of
the disgraceful scene."

The following is an extract of a letter from Mr. F.
G. Ashmore, formerly of Dover, dated, Village of
Richmond (Ill 000), near Mr. Allison's station, Port
Natal, March 27, 1851:
We have been rather alarmed at the war breaking out on
the frontier again, and were afraid that the Kaffirs would
also break out upon us, although they are exceedingly
civil, but I am sorry to say very treacherous, so much so,
that all the English settlers have met together, and have
enrolled themselves as volunteers to protect their property.
We meet every week for drill, under the command of Mr.
Weir, formerly a sergeant in the Royal Artillery, who is
now a pensioner, and we made him our captain on the 21st
of February. Mr. Allison sent us word that the Kadin
were assembling some four or five miles distant, and
we had better be on our guard, as he did not know what
they intended. We accordingly called a meeting, and canto
to the determination of keeping watch taut night. At 12
o'clock we were called up and told by the watch that they
could hear Kaffirs whispering by the bridge. Every man
was immediately armed with his gun, and if they had come
we should have given them a warm reception. It proved to
be a false alarm, being some Kaffirs that Mr. Allison had
despatched to Pietermaritzburg ; they bruivilit a letter from
the body of Kaffirs in Natal, who had met in conse-
quence of our preparation, and decided that they did not
wish for war, but for peace. Sines that time we have hail
no cause for alarm, owing, probably, to the exertions of Sir
Harry Smith on the frontier. There are nearly SOO Christ-
ian Kaffirs about us in the village of Richmond.
