Powers, The Sublime Porte engages for the futnre to
prevent, by effective means, any Christian abjuring
Islamism from being put to death.' "

It has been remarked that, though the Turkish
Government has protais.ed to abolish the extreme
punishment of death in such cases, yet it has not said
that it IA ill refrain from punishing altogether. It has
even been rumoured that the Porta intends to substi-
tute for 'decapitation, the punishment of imprisonment
arid hard labour Tor life. This, at least, is the state-
ment of the French Opposition journals.
The Pr esse says—" Accounts from 'Beyrout, of
March .8, inform us that Essad Pacha wrote, on
March 2, to the Christians of the Lebonon, to au-
nounce to them that hereafter they are to submit to
the Druse authorities. The Christians have protested
against this measure, which delivers them, without
defence, to their most cruel enemies. At Gaza, in
Palestine, the Albanians have massacred and pillaged
the Christians, and destroyed fifteen houses from
summit to foundation?'

The- -neighboiirhood of Lyons has been disturbed
by some, riotous coniluct on the part of the miners of
Rive de Gier, •who have struck fur • wages.,.. The
military were called out, and some of
.the Workmen
were wounded, but no, livei have been lost. .

Mr. George Robins seems determined that Sir R.
Peel shall not forget his declaration in the early part of
last session,—it was in terms too unequivocal to be mis-
understood :—" I neither have, nor do I contemplate
any Change whatever in the.corn-laws." It should seem,
on the 25th inst., Mr. Robins •will put the value of this
welcome fact to the test. Lord Monsoit's Linehlnshire
estate will be the first large property to be sold since the
agricultural community were promised protection, and
subsequently to this concession, the Three per Cents.
have risen to par; so Oat land has had a stimulus that-
ought to give it a preference to funded property. 't Neics

The General Steam Navigation Company's mail-
packet Giraffe arrived off Blackwill, from Rotterdam, at
nine a. e. this day, with the Dutch mails.
Mr..W. Sterudale Bennett, the . eminent pianist,
was married On Tuesday last, to Miss Mary Wood, a young

course of next May.
'EASTER FETE AT CHELSEA.—An attempt has be n
made this season to convert the gTounds of Cremorne House,
Chelsea, into a scene of rivalry to Greenwich Park, under the
management of 31r. Nic.holson, of Garrick's Coffee- house
celebrity. The amusements provided for the company com-
prised-pony-races, a sham election, wizardism, mesmerism,
music, (lancing, poetising, vaulting, and laughing gas, so as
to combine, as the bills announced, " science and amuse-
!neut." When the shades of night prevailed, gas and oil in
various brilliant devices threw their light car certain favoured
spots, Chinese lanterna glimmered on others, whilst many
" lovers' walks" Were left in gloom, whence issued the sound
of laughing voices, and proved that the darkness was not a
void. An open air concert formed part. of the evening's
en-
V:rtainnientss. in Which several vocalists (male, and female)
sang a variety of songs adapted'to all varieties of taste. We
will not attempt to individualise the performers,forthey were
but dimly.seen through the cloud of. tobacco smoke which
vainly struggled with- gas leaking from the pipes for posses-
sion of the olfactory nerves.- The result of the " thousand
guinea felte,7 as it was called, has not, however, been sue--
cessfid. Science and fun at Chelsea, with one shilling Tor
admisgion, cannot compete with fun •by itself at Greenwich,.
and notbing.to' pay ; as Mr.Nichelson•was compelled to ac-
knowledge yesterday evening, when 'returning thanks to the
company for their attendance.
• MELANCHOLY DEATH or THE SON OF THE LATE
MR. PErnErt, THE AUTlST.—Yestetday au inquest was
held Wore Mr. Higgs, at the Red Lion, Erinces,street, West-
minster, as to the death of Arthur Father, aged seventeen,
whose death was caused under The following melancholy sir •
cumstances :-31iss Hannah Tether,. the sister. of deceased,
stated that the fismily.resuled at York Cottage, Battersea-
fields. On last Tuesday her brother was chopping some
wood with a very heavy gamMer, when. the top came ofl; and in
attempting to replace it, the heavy iron end tell on his finger,
and caused a severe lacerated wound. ,He at once went to a
surgeon, who dressed the finger, but as he got worse on Sun-
day, by the advice of Mr. Boulton, he was taken to the hos-
pital.
Mr. 'Morgan, the house :surgeon, said that the de-
ceased, when admitted, had a slight wound on the little
finger of the left hand. He was then suffering under lock- {
jaw, and although every attention was paid to him, he got ;
worse, and died of tetanus on Tuesday morning. He was
quite sensible to within half an hour of 'his death, and said
the injury was caused by himself accidentally. Verdict,
" Accidental death."
We understand that the Board of Customs have -I
issued an-order stating that the owners of fishing boats and
vessels can now be supplied With the Regulations concerning.
the Fisheries bet Ween the British Islands and Frante,.at -the
Bost of threepence each, on application—being made at the ,
Brighton Custom House. We hope this may meet the eve '
of most of our fishermen, who will no doubt gladly avail
themselves of so trifling an outlay.—Brighton Paper.
