is not greatly disproportioned to the number of
the disaffected, the contest will be dreadful, if the
Great Powers decline to interfere in favour of
the unhappy Christians. But the revolt of the
Candiotes forms but a tithe of the troubles of the
Porte. A letter from Constantinople, dated the
27th ult. says :--

g, A Government Tatar, who arrived in Constantinople on
the 25th, was the bearer of the alarming intelligence of a ge-
neral insurrection of the people in Albania and Bosnia. Sixty
thousand men were said to be in arms against the Porte and
its authorities, and there was every appearance of deep and
extensive organisation in the plans of the insurgents, which are
in all probability connected with the outbreak in Candia. The
amount of troops to be embarked for the present expedition will
be from 5,000 to 6,000, a force which, it is thought, will be quite
inadequate to the task of crushing the rebels, whose numbers,
thanks to the foolish interference of the European Consuls,
have, though originally not more than two or three hundred,
swelled to fifteen thousand. A Turkish steamer arrived here
the day before yesterday from Ileyrout, bringing rather unsatis-
factory accounts with respect to the state of Syria. Amongst
other causes of discontent there, was the establishment of the
quarantine, which the more bigotted Mussulmans, who abound
in those provinces, declare to be quite at variance with the pre-
cepts of the Koran."

Whatever be the result of the present insur-
rectionary movements in European Turkey, it
requires but little sagacity to see in them the
germs of a great revolution, the accomplish-
ment of which cannot be much longer delayed.
It is in this light that European statesmen ought
to regard them. It is in this light that Russia
considers them ; and therefore it is that all
her policy is directed to attach the disaffected
to herself, in the hope of inducing them to re-
place the yoke of ABD-UL-MEDJID for the iron
despotism of NICHOLAS. Now it is the interest
of England and France to prevent this. The
crescent is rapidly waning in Europe. The ter-
ritory which it ceases to overshadow ought to
form an independent barrier state, limiting
Russian aggression on the side of Constantinople.

Coax-Laws.—Meetings in favour of the Ministerial
measure of Corn-law Reform were held on Monday at St.
George's, Southwark, and in the wards of Aldgate and
Bishopsgate. Stirring meeting also, in furtherance of
the same object, were held at Greenwich and Wands-
worth. In the provinces, public meetings are daily taking
place in all quarters.
REPRESENTATION OF CORK.—Mr. Beamish having
signified his intention of retiring from the representation
of Cork, the Liberal electors of that city have properly
held a meeting, and have decided on offering the repre-
sentation to Jeremiah J. Murphy, Esq., of Lota Park.
This is at it should be ; we wish other constituencies
would imitate the example, and then they would not
misrepresented.

MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS.
CITY, TUESDAY EVENING.
There has been a certain degree of tightness in the Money
Markets, and the rates of discount keep up high. Under Five
per Cents. very little commercial paper is at present nego-
tiated, and it is hoped that the Bank of England will shortly
afford more accommodation to the general mercantile interests,
in the shape of loans or bills of exchange, and Exchequer Bills, as
well as merely accommodating their own customors. Some
imagine that the circulation has been reduced to some extent,
and that to this circumstance is ascribable the pressure for
money ; but more probably the real cause is the apprehension
of a dissolution of Parliament. If trade did not happen just
now to be in a dull state, we should almost have• a scramble
for temporary loans. It is well known, however, that most
branches of commerce are dull, and as fortunately the ap-
pearance of the corn crops is most luxuriant, there is no serious
inconvenience felt.

In Stocks, whether foreign or domestic, there is at present
very little king, and the quotations remain pretty steady.
Consols have been to-day at 891 to 90 for Money, and 90 to
901 for Account. Exchequer Bills have been at Is. to 3s.
premium, and India Bonds have been down to par at 3s. dis-
count. Bank Stock took the range from 1671,4 to 168*, and
India Stock receded from 2514 to 251; the Reduced Three-
and-a-Half per Cents. were at 97* to it, and the Three per
Cents. were at 88% to %. Long Annuities were at 12%.
The transactions in Foreign Stocks were still, generally
speaking, at a reduced value. Spanish Active Bonds were at
234 toe for the Account; Portuguese New at 34A to 331;
the Three per Cents. at 20* ; Mexican at 28%; Colombian
at 221 to a ; Brazilian at 68 to * ; Belgian, 1001; and Dutch
Two-and-a-Half per Cents. at 52%.
Scarcely a dozen bargiaos were effected in the Share Market
altogether, and these could hardly be said to establish any cer-
tain rates.

The foreign exchanges were much the same this afternoon
as respects all the Continental cities except Hamburgh, on
which the rate was a shade higher.
