T URKEY.

Accounts have been received at Trieste from Aleppo
of the 9ch. The Turkish rebels had been attacked
and overcome in three quarters of the city, though not
until after the conflict had lasted three days. The
The Governor-General had got Abdullah Babelsis
and five 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 has still 100 wounded Christians in his country
houp. 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 put a stop to the massacre. Bem could not
take any share in the affair, as be was confined to his
room with a kind of carbuncle, which is peculiar to
Aleppo, on his foot.

THE PROTESTANT CHURCH 1N ITALY.
_ PROPOSED MISSION TO ROME.

On dit, that her Majesty the Queen intends to
dispatch a Protestant Hierarchy to the States of the
Church, under the guidance of an Anglican
Cardinal, in order to promote the spiritual welfare
of the Protestant population of the Papal do-
minions. It is proposed especially to weed the
environs of St. Peter's from the ignorance, vice, filth,
and wretchedness lying, under the shadow of tbat
temple, in the Transtevere district, and in the vi-
cinity of the Castle of St. Angelo, by the intro-
duction of missionaries and Bibles, and further
to restore Italy to her former glory in civilsation
and liberty. It is believed, from the liberal policy which
of late has distinguished Pius IX., and the gradual ex-
tension of civil privileges accorded of recent years by the
Papal Government to Protestant residents that no objec-
tion will be made to the important and gracious enter-
p rise which is thus proposed by the British Govern-
ment."—Liverpool Albion.

PROPOSED EXTENSION OF THE ROYAL MAIL STEAM
FLEET.—Wo utderstand that the British and North
American Royal Mail Steam-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 au anticipatory notice, some time ago.
It is understood that these ships will, in model, power,
and size, surpass any of the many splendid steamers now
afloat on the Atlantic' and we hare reason to believe
that in speed they will distance all competitors, even
amongst their sister ships.—Liverpool

THE CASE OF MU. BARBER.—On Tuesday a
number of gentlemen belonging to the legal profession in
this town held a meeting at the Clarendon-rooms, to receive
from Mr. Barber a statement of his case. The circum-
stances cf Mr. Barber's case have already been published
in the newspapers. After many years' practice as a soli-
citor, Mr. Barber was convicted of forgery, and transported;
ho afterwards received a full pardon from the Crown, cir-
cumstances having subsequently transpired to establish his
innocence. The chair was occupied by Sir George
Stephen, and among those present .were Mr. J. B.
Aspinall, barrister, Mr. J. Yates, jun., Mr. Pemberton,
Mr. Bretherton, Mr. Owen, Mr. Grocott. &e., Ice. Mr.
Barber entered into a long explanation of his case, which.
was considered perfectly satisfactory to the meeting.
After some 'remarks from Mr. Aspinall, Mr. Evans, Mr.
Grocott, Mr. Bretherton, Mr, Yates, and the chairman,
resolutions were adopted expressing an opinion that Mr.
Barber was entirely innocent of the offence which had
been charged against him.—" That while it was not within
the province of this meeting to consider the compensation
to which he is entitled for the injury he has sustained, it is
the unquestionable duty of his professional brethren to
protest against the doctrine that solicitors are to be sus-
pected of complicity with the offences of their clients,
without evidence of guilty knowledge, and only because
they may happen to he professionally employed. And
that the chairman be requested to communicate to Mr.
Barber the earnest hope of
this meeting that he may expe-
rience no further difficulty in obtaining his certificate, and
such redress for his unmerited sufferings as may be deemed
just." The proceedings terminated with a vote of thanks to
the chairman. Liverpool Mercury.

SMOKING ON RAILWAYS.--As the people in most
of the continental nations, especially the Germans and the
Dutch, are such inveterate smokers that they can scarcely
dispense with the presence in their months 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 the Continent, in which smoking will be allowed, while
prohibited in all the other carriages. If some such accom-
modation is not provided before then the great mass of the
continental visitors will be miserable while travelling in our
railways.
—*DIE POPE'S ANTECEDENTS.—" We can certainly
rely on a prompt, zealous, and able co-operation in bringing
the. Church of England to obedience to the see of Rome.
eN hen I read in their chronological order the writings of the
theologians of Oxford, I see in the clearest manner that these
divines are approximating, from day to day, to our holy
Church, both in doctrine an in sympathy. Our saints, our
popes, become more and more dear to them ; our rites, our
ceremonies, and even the festivals of our saints and our days
of tasting, are precious in their eyes, more precious, alas !
than in the eyes of many of our own people."—Wiseman's
Letter to the Earl :Shreushury.
