The Levant Mail has arrived, bringing news from
Constantinople of the 7th, from Alexandria of the 6th,
from Beyrout of the 3d, from Smyrna of the 9th, and
from Malta or the 15th inst.
The Sultan's health is quite restored. His Highness
has appointed Said, the Viceroy's Envoy, a Vice-Ad
miral, and his Secretary, Sami Bey, a Lieutenant-Ge-
neral. These promotions entitle them to rank as
Pitches of the Empire.
Lord Ponsonby was preparing to leave Constantinople
for England by way of Italy.
• The Porte had issued a Firman, commanding all tl
authorities throughout the Empire to treat the tradii
subjects of the Sultan as favourably as merchants living
under the protection of Foreign Powers. " All the
authorities," says the Ministerial circular, " addressed
to the Pachas as well in Constantinople as in the
provinces, have been instructed to encourage,
by every means in their power, the commercial
operations of the subjects of the Porte, to grant
them the same. facilities as are accorded to the
Frank merchants, to defend their legal rights by
the application of a system of just equality, to protect
them under all circumstances from violence and injus-
tice, and by these means to secure to them prosperity
and contentment. You will publish the present docu-
ment in the district under your charge, and exert your-
self to realise. the wishes of his Highness in this respect."
—This circular confers a' real boon upon the Turkish
merchants, who, to escape from being periodically plun-
dered by the Pachas, were hitherto compelled to obtain
the protection of foreign Powers. Thus the wealthiest
merchants were glad to hold some nominal office in. the
kitchen of a Foreign Ambassador.
Mr. Colquhoun, Charge d'Affaires of the Hanseatic
Republic, was preparing to sign a commercial treaty with
the Porte.
The Sultan has ratified the treaty of London of the
13th of July.
On the 7th TahirPacha, the Pacificator of Candia, landed
at Smyrna, where his flap. was saluted by all the foreign
vessels in the roads. The salute was returned gun for
gun. The Paclut wore the diamond-hilted sword pre,
seated to him by the Sultan, valued at a thoiisand
pounds sterling. The next day he sailed from Constan-
tinople, after leaving two hundred pounds for the suf-
ferers by the late lire,
The Christian sects are persecuting one another like
fiends in Syria. If the principle of the Christian re-
ligion was hatred instead of love,, they could not more
rancorously malign each. other. All the native sects
conspire against Protestantism in every form.
From Egypt the news is of little political interest.
Mehemet Ali has turned the sword into a ploughshare.
Under his careful management it is expected that, in a
few years, Egypt will be a fine agricultural country.
From Lisbon the news is far from satisfactory. The
Algarve is overrun with Miguelite brigands, who rob and
murder the inhabitants with comparative impunity. •
General Macdonell was found guilty of being in
Portugal without a passport, and ordered to quit the
country in eight days. The General was very ill, in
consequence of his confinement in a dainp cell in the
castle of St. George.
• The National was tried on Thursday, and acquitted,
for a libel on the King of the French, written in Decem-
ber last. The observations made by the National in
Friday's number upon its trial provoked a fresh seizure.
The Constitutionnel would have it believed that Eng-
land meditates the permanent occupation of Syria. Why
not charge us with a design upon Paris?

In the Lords last night Lord Brougham poirted out
• to their Lordships that the diet and the punishments
were very different in different prisons, for which there
is no warrant, as they ought to be alike. His Lordship's
humane and Statesman-like speech must cause attention
to be directed to the subject, and will tend to make our
prison discipline uniform. The Noble Lord concluded
by a motion for information to be laid before the House
at the beginning of next Session.
Lord Campbell called their Lordships' attention to the
necessity of having legal assistance for the Home-office.
A new writ was issued in the Commons for Hereford,
in the room of Mr. Hobhouse.
Sir Brook Vere entered into an explanation about the
Saximinclham Agricultural Festival, and denied that her
Majesty's health had been drunk there with fewer ho- ,
nours than that of the Queen Dowager. Several gentle-
men testified to the same facts, which shows that the
Tories are rather ashamed of their improper partiality.
In a Committee of Ways and Means the Chancellor
of the Exchequer moved a resolution to enable the Go-
vernment to complete the Ways and Means of the year
by a loan of 2,500,0001, and by funding Exchequer Bills
to the same amount. In the course of his speech the Right ,
Hon. Member stated that the financial statements made
by the late Chancellor were so recent that he should
only weary the House by repeating them, and he there-
fore contented himself with stating that the deficiency to
be provided for beyond the Ways and Means already
provided was 2,400,000/. The Right Hon. Gentleman
stated that 3,540,0001 of the loan, a mixed fund of Ex-
chequer Bills and borrowing money, had been subscribed.
Mr. Baring took .credit to the late Ministers for the
Motley Market being 25 per cent. better than when the
Whigs came into office.

DL=. Williams strongly recommended economy, and
pointed out several reduction of expenditure which
might be made. lie moved a resolution condemning the
increase of the debt, but it could not be put because it
was informal.

The debate which ensued, in which Mr. Hawes, Mr.
Ewart, Sir Robert Peel, and Lord Palmerston took part,
was rather smart, and is an indication that the two

parties mean to carry on a brisk Ivan Sir B. Peel,
the authority of a nameless Magistrate, contradicted a
statement which had been made by Mr. Hindley on a
previous evening, which ought to make Hon.
Members be quite sure of their facts, and be cautious in
stating them.

The" resolution was agreed to.
On the motion for a Committee on the Poor-law Com-
mission Bill, Mr. York moved his amendment, which oc-
cupied the remainder of the evening. Mr. Yorke's
amendment was lost by a large majority. The considera-
tion of the Poor-law Commission will be resumed this
evening.
