p*ursults•of a busy and powerful•partisan, with.
less cost and hazard than the Lord Advocate
has risked. It is an ;twkward station for a
judicial officer to have his illicit warrant pro-
duced for writings which he is obliged to disavow
'the moment he is known to be connected with
them—when he has power and consequence
enough to put ten times the machinery in mo-
tion, if his taste and ambition should so tend,
without committing In secret the dignity (it i
would not be polite to mention the purity) of
his functions. The Learned Lord defended his
conduct,•and insisted on it that he had done
nothing but recommend Borthwick's publication,
the Clydesdale Joarnal, which led to the meeting
of Gentlemen at Edinburgh, • who thereupon
resolved to rear up The Beacon under their own
auspices. And so, as Falstaff says of rebellion,
the project lay in his way and he found it. Mr.
Peel assisted the pleh of the Learned Lord, on
the ground of his good intentions. Sir James
Mackintosh supported the motion. The House
went to a division, when there appeared for the
motion 95 ; against it 120 ; majority against the
motion 25."

Sunday's Pills Papers reached us late last
ight by express. They contain. no later ❑ews
han our preceding arrivals from the North or
East of Europe. Some articles, not clothed with
any appearance of authenticity, intimate that the
Turks are still only gaining time, with their
accustomed duplicity, in order to crush the
Greeks by attacking them singly with all their
force, and, having disposed of the weaker enemy,
to make head against the. Russians. This seems,
however, little else than the idle speculation of
the German Journalists. It is stated, at the
same time, that the Sultan had ordered the
equipment of another fleet, which was actually
commenced in the arsenals, and that the Capitan'
Paella having left 15,000 Asiatics in the Isle of
Scio, had set out on the 15th of May for the
Mores. ,

[THE TI M ES.]
Letters from Constantinople of the 25th ult.
which reached town yesterday, detail one of
those horrible transactions which find no parallel
in cotemporary barbarity, and which it would
require the -strongest historical evidence to sup-
port as a real occurrence of the most savage ages.
This sanguinary deed is nothing else than the de-
capitation, by the Government of the Porte, of
72 Greek merchants, some of them the most re-
spectable in the Levant, and all of them of
consequence among their countrymen,—without
alleged crime—without the form of trial—without
an insinuation of misconduct—but merely because,
out of compassion for'their brethren in the isle of
Scio, they offered themselves as hostages for their
good behaviour, and interposed between them
and the Turkish cimeter. The islanders, driven,
at length, to revolt by the intolerable cruelties
and humiliations to which they were subjected,

have been massacred and exterminated ; and the
barbarous despot, not satisfied with. the blood
and torture of the principals who rebelled, has
sacrificed, " at one fell swoop," likewise, their
generous unoffending securities. Every drop of
Christian blood boils at the atrocity—every
spark of humanity is kindled 'to indignation at
suchjtuthorized assassinations. The following are
the names of some of the victims of this horrible
tragedy :—Merchants belonging to Constanti-
nople—Th. Ralli, P. Rodocanachi, M. Schillizzi,
ttarachi, M. Yam, J. Galatti, and F. Fraghiadi.
Merchants belonging to or connected with the
island of Scio—E. Mavrocordato, Vi. Ralli, Th.
Ralli, A Ridli, D. Ralli, S. Ralli, J. Paspatti,
N. Petrocochino, S. Schillizzi, L. Schillizzi, L.
Schillizzi, jun., S. Rodacanachi, P. Scaramaga,
.V. Scaramaga, P. Sgutta, A. Arbuti, L. Vlasti.
What effect these fresh murders may have on the
state of the unfinished negociation between the
Powers of civilized Europe and this barbarous
'Government, we cannot say ; but if we can be-
lieve statements in a letter of a subsequent date,
orders have been sent to the Turkish frontier to
delay the march of the troops towards the centre
till the feeling which such conduct may excite
in Russia is ascertained. -The relations of some
of the victims of this bloody tragedy reside in
London, and received letters from their deceased
friends on the eve of their execution.
