T URKEY.

Accounts have been received at Trieste from Aleppo
,of the 9th. The Turkish rebels had been attacked
and overcome in three quarters of the city, though not
until after the confl►ct had lasted three days.
The Governor-General bad got Ahdullah Babelsis
and 4ve other insurgent chiefs into his hands. The
troops plundered the rebels and killed 500 of them.
Seventy-two of the soldiers also fell. The French
Consul bas still 100 wounded Christians in his country
house. Two Englishmen particularly distinguished
themselves, and saved the lives of many persons. The
houses in which the Magyars lived were not attacked.
The ex-Hungarian General, Kurety, put himself at
the head of 30 foot soldiers, but they would not in-
terfere to pur a srop to the massacre. Bern could not
take any share in the affair, a- he wa4 confined to his
room with a kind of carbuncle, which is peculiar to
Aleppo, on hiv toor.

HORRIBLE OUTRAGE.

About the hour of nine o'clock on Friday night an
armed party, con'isting of over fifteen men, well
ritened, and obeying the commands of a "captain,"
With military precision, attacked the house of a man
named John Martin, caretaker on the lands of Rapla
and South-hill, the property of Mr. Vincent, of
Dublin. The marauders had been lying in wait for
a bailiff who had been placed in care of corn seized
for-rent on the farm of one of Mr. Vincent's tenants,
named .illeara; and who had entered Martin's house
a few minutes previous to the attack. The door was
opened for them by Martin's wife, whom the first of
the ruffians struck with his gun on the head such a
blow that the poor woman was stunned. and felled to
the earth. The party rushed in, to the number of
eight or nine, and, seizing the obnoxious bailiff, beat
him with the butts of their guns and with spade-
handles, in a most brutal manner, cutting his head,
and inflicting many severe bruises on various parts
of his body. In the frenzy of the moment—the
party being half intoxicated—one of the fellows
cried out " Shoot him," but the captain interposed,
and cried out "No, no, beat him well ;" and his
obedient underlings amply fulfilled his directions in
that respect. Five of the party remained outside to
guard, and one of them having cried out " He is
coming," the strictest silence was observed till Martin,
who had been absent, entered the opened door, when
he .was immediately seized upon and beaten similarly
to the unfortunate bailiff. They even beat the chil-
dren, and the woman, on recovering from the swoon
into which she had been thrown by the first ruffian's
blow, was again laid hold of, nor did her cries that
she was pregnant save her from a repetition of blows,
!he unmerciful assailants exclaiming, "'We will not
spare woman with child, or a child in the cradle."
The attack was made about eight o'clock at night,
and the party remained in the house till four o'clock
in the miming, regaling themselves on what-
ever eneahlee they could lay hands upon. When
the ceotain dr, w off hi men, and the inmates of
the heue- sunangle:A ceurege te go abroad, the corn

carried off while the rVi5:-ins W'rP he house. The

tion of the occurrence having been transmitted to
Nenagh, Mr. Dalton, Excise-officer, drove to the
scene of outrage and seized on three bottles of the
same stimuletieg liquor, for which he intends to have
Mesra proseeuted at the approaching aesizee. No
trace has to ee found of the missing corn, nor of the
depredeter-, who were strangers in the locality. Dr.
Frith, of Nenegh, has been att'nding the, sufferers,
and has pronounced Mrs. Martin's wounds to he not
dangerous.. It wes infected by the lock of the gun,
but happily she has sustained no fracture of the skull,
and the doctor holds out hopes of her recovery in a
few days That the guns of the party did not ex-
plode during this savage scene is almost a miracle.—

PROPOSED EXTENSION OF THE ROYAL MAIL STEAM
FLEET.—We understand that the British and North
American Royal Mail 6team- ship Company have decided
to entitle the Persia and Arabia the two new members of
their fleet, the future construction of which was announced
in our columns, in an anticipatory notice, some time ago.
It is understood that these ships will, in model, power,
and size, surpass any of the ninny splendid steamers now
afloat on the Atlantic, and we have 'reason to believe
that in speed they will distance all competitors, even
amongst their sister ships.—Liverpool Albion.

SMKINGent ON
nati RAILWAYS.—As the people in most
continental ons, especially the Germans and the
Dutch, are such inveterate smokers that they can scarcely
dispense with the presence in their mouths of the tobacco
pipe for fifteen minutes at a time, it has been seriously pro-
posed that there should be set apart, in the contemplation
of the Exhibition of 1851, a certain number of carriages in
every train, especially in those railways communicating
with Vie Continent, in which smoking will be allowed, while
prohibited in all the other carriages. If some such accom-
mxlati m is not provided before then the great mass of the
continental visitors will be miserable while travelling in our

AN ENGLISH SETTLEIL—John Campbell Dicker,
Esq., of London, who lately purchased the Gleneaqie estate,
has been appointed a justice of the peace for the county of
Sligo, on the recommendation of Colonel Knox, lieutenant of
the enmity. We understand that Mr. Dicker is about build-
ing atandsome residence at Gleneaske, near the lake, where
he purposes spending much of his time to look after the wel-
fare of his tenants, in whop: Lite seems to take a great interest,
and who are becoming in return much attached to him.-- I
