In reference to the late melancholy loss of the transpvtg,
the Lord Castlereagh and the Lord William Beutiock, tve
have the following :
The second week of July gave us one of the most im-
portant criminal sessions that have for many years occurred.
.fhe tonics of chief interest were the cases of Mr. Gib-
hArd and of the murderers of Captain Whiffers of the bark
Virginia. The grand jury, in the former of these ignored
the bill of indictment, the alleged murder of the natives
having occurred under circumstances not cognisable by
English municipal law ; in the latter case, that of the con-
victs who mastered the crew and slew the officers of the
Vvginia, the conviction and execution of six criminals
ensued.

MACAO, APRIL 18.

On the news from England to the 4th Decemeer (re-
ceived per Rover, 19th ultimo,) becoming known in Can-
ton, all the remainin4 teas were bought up, as much as 28
tads having been given for low Cungos and Twankays,
and two or three days afterwards there was not a chest to
be had which it would be safe to ship.
The difficulty of getting teas brought down has been a
good deal increased by the authorities having lately pro-
hibited ships from carrying deck loads, and freights ad.
vanccd in consequence 15 dollars per ton of 40 feet, but
;ye antioipate a decline to the old rate when the ships
latcjv gone up are allowed to unload.

small Lit,' 91 has been obtained ; but we believe all the ships
now here have been provided fur.
Exchange on London may still be quoted at 43 lOid to

Directors have been sold at 218.

(From the Huf •karu, July 6.)
The Money Market presents an abundant stock. Oa

the state of this market was heavy, we have since had
additions from China, and within the Litt few days a fur.
ther supply from borne by the May overland, of about
20-8 even lacs, thus increasing our tupply very ma-
terially.
Exchange rates at the leaving of our last were not very
firm at the then quotations; they remained quiet, however,
until about the 20th ult. ; when the opportunity of g sail-
ing vessel to leave Bombay on the Ist current, with a mail
for England, bceame publicly known, a great sensation in
the bill market was then perceptible, with an increasing
demand for remittances, which caused a decline of one
farthing, making the rate at 24. for ten months' date.
Public bills have been more plentiful of late, tut these
share the same influence as private bills, and keep low in
the exchange, so that 1-10 to 1104 is the quotation of the
day.

has, however, averted that calamity from the unfortunate
residents for the present, and who, throughout the pro-
longed struggle between the Sultan and the Pasta, have
been chief and cewtant sufferers. The following is the

sident Consul, &c.

ties ; if he does, the responsibility of uselessly shedding

The only overt act of the Commodore was the capture
of two boats of munit:ons for the garrison, lately arrived
from Alexandria.
Thus stand airairs on the Syrian coast. It was confi-
dently asserted that as soon as the Peel'a was informed of
the new and prudent line of policy taken by France, he
must succumb; but this morning's interview sets all the
calculations of the European diplomatists at nought, and
now they talk of the necessity of changing the scene of

The Alecto steam-packet arrived in port lasi' night at a
quarter past nine, having left the Beyrout on the 19d
Alexandria on the 27th, at half-past eleven a.m. She
brings a mail from India, via the Persian Gulf, despa:cbes
from Bombay on the 24th of July, and arrived at Beyrout
on the 23d ult. The mail of the Ist of July, via Suez,
had not arrived when the Alecto left Alexandria.

The accounts from Egypt are of a very warlike cha-
racter. Notwithstanding the French steamer Pepin had
arrived at Alexandria, conveying an official intimation
" that France will not assist him by arms, and that
there is no prospect of any misunderstanding with Eng
land leading to hostilities." Mehemet Ali was as inflexi-
ble as ever, absolutely refusing to listen to the terms
proposed by the Quadruple Tieaty, and rejecting them
in lobo, without even deigning to give an explanation.
He bad intimated to Admiral Stopford, who had arrived
some days previously, that he was then ready to give an
official answer, and that he (the Admiral) might act
the-con, without waiting until the expiration of the full
time allowed him for coming to a decision.
Comnaodore Napier had issued a proclamation calling
upon the Sgians to rise in the cause of the Sultan, parti-
cularly that pet of them who had gone over to Abbas
Pacha, and he would protect them ' • but it does not appear
that it had the effect anticipated. The following is a true
copy transmitted by our correspondent from Alexandria
Great Britain, Austria, Russia, and Prussia, with the
Sultan, have decided that the rule of Mehemet Ali shall
cease in Syria, and I have been sent here with an advanced
squadron to assist in throwing off the yoke of the Pasha of
Egypt.
" Syrians, you know that a hatli scheriff has been
issued by the Sultan, securing the iir3 and pi operty of bis
subjects, which is in full operation throughout the Turkish
territories, in adeition to which the Allied Powers have
engaged to recommend to the eultan to reticlei your con-
dition happy and prosperous.
" Inhabitants of Lebanon, you arc more immediately
under my eye, I call upon yoti to rise, and throw off the,
yoke under which you are groaning. Troops, arms, am-
munition are daily expected from Constantinople, and, in
the meantime the Egyptian ships shall no longer insult
your coast. •
" Soldiers of the Sultan, who were treacherously led
from your houses to the burning sands of Egypt, and have
been since transported to Syria, I call upon you, Irk the
name of the Great Powers, to return to your allegiance ;
I have placed two line of battle ships close to the Laza-
retto where you are encamped : put yourselves under my
protection, and should a single soldier of the Pacha ap-
proach you, he shall be annihilated.
" All past events will be forgotten, and your arrears of
pay discharged by the Sultan, as also the arrears of any
soldier who may join the Sultan's standard.
" CHARLES NAPIER, Commodore.

" Syria."
It is but ri:ht that we state, that the highest naval au.
thorities in Malta affect to discredit this proclamation, and
to consider it very doubtful.

It is also said, upon unquestionable authority, that Cap-
tain Napier has taken some 15 Egyptian vessels, most of
them small; there was one, however, a frigate, used as a
transport, having troops on board, but only four guns were
mounted. It is thus seen, that the communication between
Beyrout on the coast of Syria, and Egypt, is entirely off.

(Extract of a Letter.)
We are in a queer state here ; we have Commodore
Napier with four ships of the line, a frigate and a corvette,
besides the Gorgon. They have taken abaut a dozen
vessels under the l'acha's flag, all with stores, troops, &c. ;
one of them a large frigate, but she had only six guns
aboard, and made no resistance.

The Egyptians have made no reprisals, but we expect
hostilities to commence immediately.
The Egyptians have about 8,000 men here—some 3,000
Turkish soldiers, on whom they cannot rely. Ibrahim
Pacba is said to be here. The people of the country are
tired of the Egyptians ; all are in favour of the Sultan, and
I do not fear a religious war.
