rout, no doubt remained that the Syrians had
defeated the Turks, and were preparing-to attack
Betedden, the residence of OMER PACHA. The
following is an extract from a letter on the sub-
ject, dated Alexandria, October 24, which ap-
pears in the illessager
:
The Syrians of Bechara, near Tripoli, rose on the
12th instant ; 400 Turks who had penetrated into the
mountain were defeated. Symptoms of revolt have
been shown at different points. The caravan from
Damascus to Beyrout, which was escorted by Alba-
nians, was stopped and plundered by the Druses on
the 17th. The most perfect calm reigns in Egypt.
The Viceroy is at Cairo.
The papers are generally destitute'of news.

MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS.
CITY, QUARTER TO THREE.

The sales of cotton in the. Liverpool, Market yes-
terday fell off to 2,000 hales, hut prices remained the
same.. In Railway Shares a fair husiness was done
at-steady prices. Eastern Counties were, '8
,bUrgh and Glasgow, 47 ; Grand Jimction, 173 ;
Great Western Half, 61 ; Liverpool and Manchester,
180 ; South Western, 591- ; Paris and :Rouen, 22 ;
and South Eastern, 22i. -
No news of the Britannia steamer.

There are accounts two days liter from Port
Philip, viz., to the 21st of Miiy, but they contain
scarcely anitem of intelligence of interest to readers
here. After the previous serious depression, it is
satisfactory to find that stock was improving in value,
large sales of sheep having been made at higher
prices. For the supply of the Launceston market
heavy contracts had been made with the Port Philip
graziers, one butcher having agreed to take 15,000
sheep during the short winter. A more efficient sys-
tem of police for the protection of the colony was
projected, and increased taxation was to be submitted
to for the purpose.
From incidental notices in the Australian papers it
would appear that the trade of New Zealand is greatly
on the increase. During the year ending the 21st
April last, there arrived at that colony no less than
230 vessels,
.of 33,000 tons..
The Quebec packet- 1514 brings' advises one day
later from New York, viz. October 21. The Canal
business appears to have. been slack, and a good deal
of Chagrin is manifested at the return of the Commis-
sioners' sent to England to negotiate a loan, without
having met with the success, anticipated. The failure of
their mission, which some of our London capitalists
are said to have regarded with a favourable eye, is
ascribed to the indisposition of the public to be any
longer duped into -loans for foreign States, among
which repudiation is so popular, and also to the de-,
cided hostility of the press. It may be remarked
that " repudiation" is so very convenient to the ma-
jority of a people by nature averse to taxation, that
although the principle may not be assented to, the
fruits are cheerfully received, and thus every encou.!
ragement is given to pursue the swindling system. In
a recent speech to a Local Congress, the Governor,
after remarking on the state of the times, adverts to
the state of the finances, and observes, that for the
relief of the people taxes should be taken off, but that
no interest could be paid on the foreign debt! Cool
this ! !

In Canada an effort is to be made during the next
session of the Local Parliament to reduce the public
charges ; first by retrenching all sinecures and unne-
cessary offices ; secondly, by a moderate reduction in
the several salaries on the Civil List, and all other
branches of the public service, to a scale com-
mensurate with the revenue and liabilities of
the province, and also to bring into consideration
the expediency of abolishing all perquisites arid fees
of office, and of commuting the same for fixed salaries '
or allowances, and of forming' such perquisites and
fees of office, as it may be cleaned -expedient to con-
tinue, into a fund applicable to the public service.
There' is very little business' doing in the Funds
to-day. The' brokers for the Savings' Bank Corn-.
missioners took ah3ut 5,0001. Stuck., Con Sols have
again touched 94f both for Arloney and Account; the
quotations are at present a fraction lower. There has
been scarcely any alteration in the Three-and-a-Hatfl
per Cents, The preMium upon the -Unfunded,
Debt has somewhat declined. Money is rather
more iUrequest, and we trust for commercial par-
poses. The premium upon Exchequer Bills has fallen
from:6os. 61s. to 575. 695. Bank Stock has been
offered at li2.

There is an improvement in the demand for Dutch
Stock to-day, and the Two-and-a-Half per Cents.
have advanced to 53 ; the Five per Cents. may fairly
be quoted at 1004 k. Spanish Stock has improved a
trifle, the Active Bonds having been sold at 184, and
the New Three per Cents. at 20*. Mexican Bonds
hadrealised 35k ; Belgian, 102 ; and Buenos Ayres, 22.
A good deal of business has been transacted in the
Scrip of the North Eastern and Midland Railway
Shares this morning, but at fractional variations only
from the quotations of yesterday. The Bristol and
Exeter Shares have been sold at 25* discount; the
Great Western at 19 prem. ; the Brighton at 14k dis-
count; the South Western at 18* prem. ; the Manchester
and Leeds at 2 discount ; and the North Midland at
40 discount. There have not been any transactions
reported in the banking shares to-day.
In the Colombian Market several public sales have
been brought forward to-day, most of which have
gone off without much animation. Prices cannot in
any one instance be quoted higher than yesterday.
