SYRIA.

Extract of a letter from Beyrout, 7th ult., in the
Malta Times :

" The Egyptian squadron lately employed to transport
the Syrian troops to this port, have all left. The Thun-
derer and Wasp sailed yesterday for Caiffa, and will re-
turn to this anchorage on or about the 22d instant. The
Cambridge remains here for the present, as does also a
Turkish frigate, and the French corvette Creole, which
arrived here yesterday from Tripoli. A Turkish cor-
vette came in this afternoon, and on landing some func-
tionaries was saluted. Thu Hecate proceeds to-morrow
to the Dog river. There is no political news of conse-
quence—all is quiet."
The Impartial of Smyrna of the 19th ult. says :
"It is with the greatest grief that I have to in-
form you that, about midnight on the 10th of this
month, a fire broke out in this city. The forts
being shut, it was impossible for those who wished
to come to our assistance, and from a total want
of pumps and a violent wind which augmented
the fire, a great number of houses and shops have fallen
a prey to the flames. The magazines containing the
coal of the Danube Company have been destroyed,
These magazines burnt ftir two whole days before any
one could approach to extinguish the fire. The fire was
purely accidental."

The Malta Chronicle has the following from Athens,
10th ult. :
" The Ministry continues inactive, and appears de-
cided to take no measures for advancing public interests
until the return of the King. In other respects the
greatest calm exists. Mr. Christidis, is very unpopular,
although, according to his own idea, he enjoys the
entire confidence of the King and the affections of the
people.—Lady Lyons and son arrived at Corfu on the
20th inst., from Trieste, on their way to Athens.

JERSEY, Nov. 1.--Our coal trade has been
very much cut up this year by the continual arrival of
large vessels with cargoes for sale on ships' account.
Cargoes from Sunderland were disposed of here in the
early months of the year at the very low freight of 71.
per keel. We did hope that the trade would be better
during the summer ; but vessels continued to arrive with
Sunderland coals of a very inferior description, which
were sold at an exceedingly low freight, to induce the
merchants to purchase
.them. As low as 6/. per keel
freight was paid for various cargoes brought by Sunder-
land vessels. And during last month ships have con-
tinued to arrive from Sunderland, and their cargoeshav o
been sold at 61. 10s. per keel freight.
Hutchinson, who for the last forty years has
been the chief stable-man at the Pavilion, died on Thurs-
t day last, after a severe illness.—Brighton Herald.
