following
ditions :-
1. That a general amnesty be grante d to the insur-
gents, under the guarantee of the Christia,-1 Powers.
2. That, while acknowledging the sovereignty of the
Sultan and remaining tributary to him, they' be allowed
their own institutions like the inhabitants of the is land
of Samos.
3. That they be'allowed to retain their arms.
4. That no Turks 1”, permitted to reside in the di strict
of Sfakia, or to go there in greater numbers than sixty
at a time.
5. That in case the above condjtions be reject, .d the
insurgents be allowed to withdraw unmolested, ret ,aining
their arms, and to dispose of their prcperty in the island
as they please.
These proposals having been forwt;rded by Tahir
Pacha to the Porte, in the steamer who se arrival I an-
nounced in my lette of last week, the Sucreme Council
have decided on accepting all of them, e.xcepting the
fourth (relating to the retention of their arms by the-in-
surgents) ; and the steamer was accordingly sent- back to
Candia with this answer on T;Nrsday morning. All

for the Sovereign, they bring valuable presents for the
Sultana Valide and all the high functionaries of the Porte
who have had any hand in the settlement of the Egyp-
tian question. It is now asserted confidently that the
amount of the annual tribute payable by the Pacha of
Egypt to the central Government, will be considerably
reduced, and that his Excellency Said Bey will be the
bearer of the new firman regulating that matter.
We have already stated that the crops of grain have
been productive to an unprecedented degree. This will
encourage agriculture more than all the essays on the
subject which have been published of late ; it was bad
harvests for two years successively, that had disheartened
the farmers. The production of silk has almost every-
where been likewise most abundant, and the quantity for
exportation will be greater than on any former occasion.
If, therefore; in Italy and France there has really 'been a
deficiency, we shall be able to makenp by-shipments from
this quarter. The commercial body may now hope for
better times here. For some months past it had suffered
severely. Imports in general gave very indifferent re-
sults, and exports presented enormous losses, whilst the
heavy expenses of living at Constantinople (where what
is called-economy would be accounted profuse extrava-
gance in England) went on without the slightest diminu-
tion. It is when exports are remunerating-, that the en-
terprising merchant makes money.
We hear the who!e mercantile body constantly com-
plaining of the dulness of the import trade, and yet
every southerly wind brings in cargo after cargo of
British manufactures, which gradually disappear some-
how or other. We suspect, therefore, that things are,
in reality, not near so bad as they are in general repre-
sented to be. Every one grumbles, but nobody appears
to suffer in the least. The fact is, Turkey is a country
whose resources are still vast, notwithstanding all the
false assertions to the contrary which fill the European
papers ; and, if we have fewrich men, we have none who
are absolutely poor.

CANDIA.
(From the Manzari Shark.)
Our advices from this country have reached us by the
French steamer Minos up to the 3d inst. only. At that
date it will be perceived that the insurrection was not
quelled, although the whole of the district of Apocorona
had submitted. At Sfakia other bodies of Mainotes
had arrived, consequently giving cause to assume that
more fighting would take place before tranquillity was
fully restored. Things, however, were in a favourable
train for arrangement.
The following is an extract from our correspondence:—
" CANER, JULY 3.—We have news that a severe skir-
mish took place on the Bth inst. in the district of Pe-
deada, in the province of Candia, between the Turks
and Greeks, which lasted several hours. Tho Greeks
were ultimately obliged to abandon their position, and
a part of them succeeded in gaining the mountains. All
kinds of excesses, not only upon those that were armed,
but also on the unarmed inhabitants of the' villages in
this district, were unfortunately committed, which has
given rise to the enclosed proclamation. Much credit is
due to Tahir Pacha, who immediately on being informed
of this set sail for Candia, and, it is said, has severely
punished some of those engaged in these excesses.
" Ahmed Pacha, in a frigate, with a corvette, a schoo-
ner, and three Government transports, arrived in the
bay of Soda yesterday, bringing a few regular troops.
" The Turkish army has moved to the westward of
the island with a view of marching into the interior of
Sfakia, the head-quarters of the insurgents.
" The whole of the district of Apocorona has submit-
ted and given up their arms, and it is gratifying to state
that no excesses whatever have been committed.
" The cruisers daily continue to bring in small Greek
beats taken on the coast. A strong body of Mainotes
has arrived to reinforce the insurgents, and they appear
to be as far from submitting as (kw— - r tyor ts
were prevalent some time that 'the principal chiefs
J:.,i.osition to tay down their arms.
" A skirmish took place in this neighbourhood on the
Ist, in which several were killed and wounded on both
sides.

The following are a few of the numerous testimonials this
popular work has received, and which the limits of an adver-
tisement will only allow of being published:—
The rage for books in all departments of Science, literature,
and the arts, was, we believe, never so prevalent as at the pre-
sent time. The unavoidable consequence of this is, that we
meet a very considerable proportion of indifferent, useless, and
even bad books. With the force of this prejudice on our
minds, we with no little reluctance were induced to peruse
Messrs. Curtis's work, entitled " Manhood ;" nor did it re-
quire much perusal fully to satisfy us that the book was not
one of the common stamp. The sciontmc views taken by the
authors of the source and origin of many of the most distressing
effects of certain depraved habits, fully establish their claim to
the character of experienced and judicious surgeons. To
quote passages from the work in proof of our assertion would
be departing from the established rules of the daily press. The
result, however, of our careful perusal of the work, has been
to impress us with a thorough confidence in the talent and
skill of the authors, and to satisfy uc that those entrusted with
the care of youth are not a little indebted to them for fur-
nishing them with a means of preventing some of the most
frightful maladies to which flesh is heir.—Old England.
Messrs. Curtis's work, entitled "Manhood," is one of the
few books now coming befor the public on such a subject which
can lay claim to the character of being strictly professional, at
the same time that it is fully intelligible to all who read it.
The moral and medical precepts given in it, render it invalu-
able.—Magnet.
The perusal of Messrs. Curtis's book entitled " Manhood,"
has really astonished us by developing a series of maladies, the
never-failing consequence of the vicious habit of which it
treats. The clear connexion pointed out between the assigned
cause and the effects is perceptible to every capacity. We
strongly recommend the work.—Age.
The multitude of books daily coming from the press, some,
nay most of them, of a very questionable tendency, made us ex-
tremely reluctant to take up another. Having, however, been
induced by the character given of this work by an intelligent
friend, we ventured to open its pages, and now feel no hesita-
tion in saying that ss e arise from its perusal instructed and
edified. The clear exposition of the source of many of those
diseases which proves so fatal to youth, and which are set
down by the every-day observer as the result of common
causes, such as exposure to cold, sudden vicissitudes of tempe-
rature, hereditary taint, &c., is truly convincing and extre-
mely satisfactory. We say " satisfactory," inasmuch as Messrs.
Curtis have shown that many diseases, such as Pulmonary
Consumption, Epilepsy, &c., hitherto the opprobria of medi-
cine, may, when taken in proper time, and submitted to judi-
cious treatment, be brought to as favourable a termination
as any other class of affections. We do not think we go too
far in saying that society is deeply indebted to the authors for
producing so useful, so much wanted, so valuable, and so truly
moral a book —Conservative Journal.
We recommend the work entitled " Manhood," &c., to the
careful perusal of persons of all classes. The moral as well as
physical advantages sure to result from such perusal, will be
most readily recognised and felt by those who stand most in
need of them.—Statsman.
Messrs. Curtis and Company are to be consulted daily at
their residence, No. 7, Frith-street, Soho-square, London.
Country Patients are requested to be as minute as possible
in the detail of their cases.—As to the duration of the com-
plaint, the symptoms, age, general habits of living, and occu-
pation in life of the party ; the communication must be ac-
companied by the usual consultation fee of 1/. without which,
no notice whatever can be taken of their application ; and in

" It is confidently asserted, that Ashmed Pacha hiv-
ing arrived, it is the intention of Tahir Pacha to join
the camp of Mustapha
" The Benbow, Captain H. Stewart, arrived in the port
of Suda on the 30th from Athens, and is likely to remain
there some time. The Tyne leaves this evening for
Candia, to learn the truth of the reports of the massacre
which has taken place there.

" PROCLAMATION OF MUSTAPHA PACHA TO
THE OTTOMAN POPULATION OF CRETE.
" As the unceasing endeavours of our most respected
master the Sultan have no other view than the tranquil-
lity and happiness of his people without exception, and
since the wish of his Highness is that no one should suf-
fer, in the slightest degree, without a lawful and just
motive, his Excellency the Lord High Admiral of the
Ottoman empire and myself have not failed at all times
to inform the inhabitants of the benevolent and hu-
mane intentions of his Highness. But we learn with
great regret that in the districts of Candia and Canes
some inhuman beings, forgetting both themselves and th'
rights of the peaceable subjects of our august Sovereigt
have dared to commit actions which militate against tl3 •
tranquillity and honour of those subjects. How'secketf
soever these inhuman persons may endeavour to per'
trate their shameful acts, how muchsoever they may 11_
deavour to conceal them, and however trivial 4-e'
crimes may be, I shall by authority of his Highn6 th
Sultan bring them to light and punish with deatOnse
shameful villains as well as their abettors.
" Whosoever then in future, be he great o'sinall,
shall continue to molest the life, honour, or pc essions
of those who are under the protection of our nperial
Sovereign, or who shall endeavour to injure in ly way

GREECE.

We have received the Courrier Grec up to the 18th
inst. This Journal, of the 11th inst., contains the defi-
nitive formation of the Ministry, which M. Mamcor-
dato, after overcoming all difficulties, has been able to
establish. These are—

M. Mavrocordato, Minister of the Interior and Presi-
dent of the Council ; M. Christidis, Minister of Foreign
Affairs and the Household ; A. Metaxas, War ; Criesis,
Marine ; M. Mellas, Justice ; L. Valletta, Public In-
struction ; Tissamenos, Finance.

M. Mavrocordato has given out a programme to the
Governors of the kingdom, explaining the policy of the
Cabinet, and his motives for accepting office ; in his ad-
dress nothing is said about Constitutional Government.
Order, unanimity, and justice are strongly recommended.
A Royal ordonnance has appeared with the following
significant article :

7ig All the questions, of which the nature is important
enough to be communicated to the Cokmcil of State, shall
be debated therein."

SYRIA.

The accounts from Syria contained in our corre-
spondent's letter are satisfactory. Several causes of dis-
content with the population had been removed ; and
although the Dachas kept in office by the present admi-
nistration are not the fittest for pacifying a country so
lately in arms, and so jealous of its privileges, neverthe-
less, the promises and explanations of the Porte had had
a good effect. The priesthood alone are discontented,
from the hopes which they build on the influence and in-
trigues of foreign Powers, and from the circumstance of
the Sultan's reforms depriving them of the gains which
they used to derive from litigations amongst their flocks

COURT-MARTIAL

Dtt,Troni) I/der:4Aß* 6.-4eiiferdrit a Court-
martial was held by order of Lord Charles Afelltsleko
Colonel of the 15th Regiment of Foot, to investigate a
charge preferred against private Thomas Duffy, of the
same regiment, for " higtiy irregular conduct, and as-
saulting pollee constable John Martin, No. 219, of the R
division, on -the night of the Ist August instant.
The Court assembled at eleven o'clock, consisting of
Captain Wingflelth as Presldetst, Captain Dickenson and
Ensign Pardue, of the I bth iteerltnetit,
The President having stated the nature of the charge,
the following evidence was adduced ;
Police-constable No. 193 11 sworn—Said that at about
one o'clock in the thurnieg Untie let Instant, he observed
the prisoner and another soldier knocking at door in a
coact 1h Peek-street, Deptibrd; When be told them to go
quktly to their guaftei;s. The oisoar /WE dos°,
but went on knockiry, at doors and shutters. He then
ran away. About half an hour afterwards he saw them
again, when witness said he should take them into cra-
ted)+, upon which the prisoner struck him several times
violently with his side,belt, and ran away, followed by
his comrade, Wittinis thee Spratig his rattle.
lehit Martin, 219 R division, sworn—Stated that on
the morning in question the prisoner came on his beat
running. Witness called to hint to stop. Prisoner made
no reply until overtaken, when he turned to the left
about, and struck witness on the left side of the head,
and ran up Deptford-green. lie overtook him again on
turning down the Green, when he was struck many
times with the belt, and got his staff from him and
threatened to run him through. Witness considered him-
self in very great danger. The prisoner had no s!!_le arms.
The police sergeant then came up, in company
another police constable, and secured the prisoner.
After hearing evidence,
Captain Cuthbert produced an extract of a former
conviction of the prisoner from the Regimental Court-
martial Book, stating that the prisoner had been tried
by General Court-martial, dated August 7; 1840, for
making away with his " necessaries," .44"e__sentence for
which offence was, that he be committed to two-iiio—nths'
solitary confinement, marked with the letter I), and put
under stoppage until the deficiencies were paid for. It
was also stated that the prisoner's general character was
very indifferent.

The Court then broke up, and the prisoner was sent
in custody to the guard-room.

WOOLWICH.—FRIDAY.
ROYAL ARTILLERY.
Captain Nedham, Lieutenant Harvey, and 50 non-
commissioned officers and men, are to proceed to Ports-
mouth immediately, where they will embark on board
the Athol troop-ship for a passage to Jamaica, to com-
plete the companies on that station. The number of
volunteers who offered their services on this occasion was
surprising, but those only who have been a considerable
period in the regiment have been accepted, as the
majority of the deaths which recently took place were
young men who had lately joined the corps.
The officers of the several departments in the Royal
Arsenal are to meet the officers of the Royal Military
Institution, fur professional discussion, on the last day of
each month. It is by means such as these that British
officers will sustain their superiority for practical know-
ledge and information on military subjects over the offi-
cers of every other country in the world, and keep pace
with the improvements and inventions of the present age.
