Madrid journals of the 27th ult. have been received. It
appears from some of them that he QUEEN'S proposed
journey to the Basque Provinces is very much opposed by
both the Moderado and Progressista parties, as they feel con-
vinced that the principal object of it is to make arrangements
for the marriage of her Majesty with the Prince of ASTURIAS
and that Queen CHRISTINA is the principal agent in the
business. We are inclined to think, that after the kind
treatment she received at Paris during her exile, she will
say a good word for the Duke DE MONTPENSIER. His
marriage with the QUEEN'S sit-ter would gratify the Court of
France. NARVAEZ and CHRISTINA are said to be on bad
terms, and an open quarrel in a short time is anticipated.
NARVAEZ, says the Tie mpo, is determined to accompany the
young QUEEN wherever she goes, and prevent any Carlist
intrigue that may have been contemplated.
The Three per Cents. closed at 31% for cash, and 323 A at
60 days; the Four per Cents. at 201/4 for the 2d of July;
and the Five per Cents., at 20% for cash, and at 21% at 60
days.

The French Chambers have brought the business of the
session nearly to a close, and it is understood that the pro-
rogation will take place towards the end of next week, or
early in the following week. During the discussion in the
Chamber of Deputies relative to the budget of receipts, se-
veral motions were made by Opposition Members, among
others, one by M. DE ST. PRIEST, for a uniform postage of
eight sons on all letters, except those of soldiers and sailors,
but the motion was finally withdrawn on the Finance
Minister stating that it was his intention to bring in a Bill on
the subject next session. Another Member proposed a tax
on dogs, which was opposed by the Government. The Con-
stitutionnel and the Journal des Debats contain articles on the
state of Syria, and though perhaps there may be a little colour-
ing on both sides, the condition of that country appears suffi-
ciently deplorable. " The Maronites," says the former
journal, "have suffered the most severely. They have lost
more than 2,000 of their people, among whom women, chil-
dren, and aged men form a large majority. The losses of
tke Druses amount to about 1,000 persons, and these, for the
most part, able-bodied men. All the Christian villages in
the mixed districts have been burnt, their harvests ravaged,
and their mulberry-trees destroyed. In a word, their ruin is
complete." After attaching great blame to the voluntary
inaction of the Turkish authorities, the Journal des Debats
adds :—" The Turkish Governor wishes to force the Christians
who had quitted certain districts to take refuge in the towns
to return to their homes, and in order to force them to
comply, he has refused the rations which he allowed
them for a short time. The refugee Christians on their
part refuse to return to their villages, where they know
that they can find no protection, and they remain
abandoned to public charity. In the meantime the Druses
continue to pillage and to massacre the Christians who re-
main in their houses. They raise forced contributions on the
convents. Each convent is obliged to furnish oil, rice, and
bread. The Druses do not confine themselves to the pillage
and destruction of trees and to the burning of churches ; they
massacre and mutilate the men, and strip and violate the
women. Several of the latter have been found hanging to
the trees by their hair. The unfortunate Christians are emi-
grating in masses. Charitaisle assistance was not wanting,
but it was insufficient for the relief of so many sufferers. M.
POUJADE, the French Consul, has, under these melancholy
circumstances, worthily represented his country ; he has
distributed alms and provisions, and clothing for the naked
women ; and his Kavass have scoured the villages, bearing
with them assistance and encouragement. The Austrian,
Prussian, and Russian Consuls rivalled each other in zeal to
do good. The sanguinary anarchy which reigns in the
Lebanon threatens to extend."

RAIL WAY RETURNS.
RAILWAY TRAFFIC.—The following are the Total Receipts of Rail-
ways for the past week—that is to say, up to the date to which the
respective returns are made, together with the receipts of the same
week in the previous year :

WANT Or POLICE IN REGENT-STREET.--.We hear
complaints from various quarters of daring robberies in
the day time as well as at night in Regent street and the
neighbourhood. A gentleman, who resides near All
Souls Church, Langham-place, on returning home about
one o'clock yesterday morning, was knocked down close
to his own door by a severe blow on the head, and had it
been only half an inch nearer the temple, it must have
killed him. As it was, he was severely injured by the
fall, and escaped being robbed only by calling for the
police. A policeman was seen but a few minutes before
in conversation with three men, one of whom was the
party who inflicted the blow. We believe no secret is
made of the fact, that well-known desperate characters
are daily seen prowling in that quarter, ready for any
mischief.
