THE MANCHESTER PETITION FOR REFORM.—
The Manchester petition against the Government Reform
Bill, and in favour of Mr. Bright's, has received upwards
of 53,000 signatures in four days. It consists of 488 sheets
of paper, and is nearly 300 yards in length. It is to be pre-
sented to the 1101180 of Commons by Mr, Barley,

We learn by private intelligence from Djeddah
by the last mail, that the criminal portion of the
inquiry into the outrage of the 15+1 of June has
resulted in the decapitation of two of the criminals,
the deportation of nine others to Constantinople,
and the imprisonment at Djeddah of one who
was too sick to go to Stamboul. It has been
incontestibly proved before the commission
that the principal parties in the outbreak were
the Turkish functionaries of the town ; to
wit, the Governor, deported ; his first assist-
ant, ditto; the comptroller of markets and director
of police, beheaded ; Chief of Hadharim merchants,
officer commanding the troops in the town, de-
ported; chief judge, ditto; head of guild of mer-
chants, ditto; and five others of the chief inhabi-
tants, ditto. There is no mistake about the guilt
of these people, or its indicating what the Turks
would do if they could. The Paellas of the Hejaz
and Yemen and Red Sea ports have been accustomed
to disregard treaties and establish a sort of local
absolutism, which it is time to put an end to ; and
what, says the writer, we must do, is to keep three
or four small cruisers in the Red Sea. Three-fourths
of the commerce of the sea is British. In the year
1857, the exports from Djeddah were about
£BOO,OOO, and the imports £400,000 ; exports,
coffee, gum, ivory, &c. ; imports, Manchester cloths
and twists.

The settlement of the claims for indemnities for
losses and damages caused by the outbreak has been
tedious and laborious, as all had to be done in
writing, and no assistance was obtainable for love
or money. The Government, instead of insisting
upon proper powers being conferred upon each of
the three commissioners, who in all conscience were
enough for settling such matters as were involved
there, had left each commissioner to his own in-
structions, and directed that the British commis-
sioner should send the proceedings in a written
form for the ultimate approval of his Government.
The consequence is, that all papers must be made
out in duplicate, and all evidence put in on affidavit,
of which the matter has to be got at through the
medium of Arabic and Greek. The instructions of
all the commissioners have been found to differ
—a fact of which the Turkish functionary
has taken advantage to delay the settle-
ment of claims as far as he could. The largest
claim, that of the firm of Myrialuki, A d'Antonio,
and Co., has been proved to an amount ex-
ceeding £70,000. It has been shown that the
people of Djeddah, on the night of the 15th June,
plundered about £60,000 of property in cash and
goods from the premises of this house, and that the
business of the house will be interrupted by the
catastrophe. The settlement of the claims was ex-
pected to occupy fifteen or twenty days (from the
22d ult.) ; the business being nearly finished, with
the exception of the indemnity to be levied from
the town. About this there will probably be diffi-
culty, inasmuch as the French commissioner went
away more than a month ago, after terminating the
criminal portion of the inquiry.—Daily News.
