Letters from Constantinople of the 9th instant,
assure us that though an accidental collision may
have taken place between the Turkish and Egyp-
tian armies on the Syrian frontier, there is not a
doubt but that the statu quo will be maintained in
the East for another year. The German Papers
received last night give a very -different account of
what may be expected to take place, but it is
evident that they have received -no later
intelligence than what reached London on Satur-
day evening—namely, to the 7th inst., from Alex-
andria. On •the Bth the SULTAN honoured - the
CAPITAN PACHA by deigning to inspect the fleet;
and expressed himself highly delighted with its ap-
parent invincibility. A courier 'pasSed 'through.
Constantinople with dispatches for Lord AtIC,K-
LAND, whom he expected to find aLLahore ; and
another had arrived with letters to Lord PONSONBY,
from Herat, -Tabriz,' and Teheran. It was sup-
posed, from the flying of couriers in every direction,
that something extraordinary was about to happen.

We recommend to the attentive consideration of our
Dissenting readers an article in another part of The Sun,
which we have copied from a provincial Contemporary,
and also its accompanying comment by Mr. CHILDS.
Without expressing any opinion as to some of the
points therein mooted, we cannot help saying that
after the Church-rate Abolition Society has so gr'Catly
disappointed the expectations of the Dissenters in the
country, whose money, collected for the promotion of a
public cause, it has spent nobody can learn how, it is
rather too great a draft on Dissenting credulity to call
upon them to subscribe to another Society of a
simile!, kind, got up by the parties who have
mismanaged that which is just defunct. This will never
do. There must be no suspicion of jobbery attached to
any association that appeals to the public for support.
It must come forward with " clean hands and a pure
heart," if it expects to be successful.

The Madrid Papers just received arc of the 21st
instant. They are destitute of any news of interest
The REGENT had conferred the rank of Lieutenants-
General upon Brigadiers DIEGO LEON, and O'Dox•
NELL, for their recent victories in the Basques. ES.PAR
TERO was extending his lines with a view to deprive the
Carlists of all supplies, having given orders to General
DIEGO LEON to attack Estella. The Carlists were
beginning to be reduced to great streights. CABRERA
was besieging Cuenca, whither his mortal foe, No-
GUERAS, was marching to intercept him. The capital
was tranquil.

The debate in the French Chamber of Deputies on
the Secret Service Money Bill, promises to be very
interesting. It commenced on Tuesday, with a speech
delivered by M. GAUGUIER, a Deputy, who described
himself as a large landed proprietor, the owner of iron
foundries employing 1,200 workmen, and the contri-
butor of 3,000 frs. annually in direct taxes to maintain
a Government from which he never received the slightest
personal favour. He had everything to fear and nothing
to hope from civil commotions, but that would not pre-
vent him from declaring that in his opinion the anarchical
state of the Government was the consequence of the en-
croaching spirit of royalty. The late crisis had cost
the country 600,000,000 francs, but if the Chamber
were to refuse the salaries of Ministers during such in-
terregnums, there would be fewer of them. He de-
nounced the MOLE Cabinet as deplordule, and the
present as composed of apostates and hypocrites.
During the delivery of this caustic address, the PRESI-
DENT attempted to call M. GAUGUIER to order, and
some confusion prevailed in the Chamber, but the
speaker appeared quite unmoved, and by his firmness
convened the Ministers to hear him out. That the
Bill will be carried by a large majority is certain, but
the Opposition will not the less fearlessly expose the
monstrosity of the system which renders it necessary.
