TURKEY.

CONSTANTINOPLE, AUG. 10.--The negotiations on
the Syrian question, which, owing to difference of
opinion, had been referred by the Foreign Ministers
to their respective Courts, have once more been re-
sumed at the Porte. Sir Stratford Canning had a
secret conference with Sarim Effendi on the 7th inst.,
and I think it 'highly probable that he has recently
been furnished with more cogent arguments than
those he has hitherto had recourse to by his Govern-
ment. I know that he has just received a long report
on the subject of the Lebanon from the Consul-Ge-
neral of Syria, Colonel Rose. On the 9th (yesterday)
M. de Bourqueney had also an interview with the
Minister of Foreign Affairs, and I presume the sub-
ject was in substance the same as that discussed by
the English Ambassador. Lastly, and apparently, as
the immediate consequence of these two con-
ferences, a third is this day being held between
Sarim Effendi and Monsieur Titoff, accompanied
by Prince Hautcherli, who, by the way, re-
turned here from Russia last week. I cannot help
conjecturing that Sarim Effendi has addressed
himself to his Russian friends to assist him in
the scrape into which it is generally suspected they
have contributed not a little to involve him ; and in
which he is, to all appearance, fairly run down and
brought to bay. If so, it is probable, that in regard
to Russia he will find himself in the predicament of
the "Imre with many friends," that is to say, he will
lutv., abundance of good wishes, and 'little beside, I
appt4-exd. According to the last
accounts, Selim
Bey was making a circuit of the Lebarion; collecting
votes in favour of Omar Paella. The Seraskier had
commanded the Maronites to avow their opinions
openly ; but only 4,200 signatures had yet been given
in favour of the Shehabb dynasty, and these, as the
Turks assert, are chiefly composed of those of the
Christians of Antioch who have been influenced by
their Patriarch. Selim Bey and Ali Bey will both of
them shortly return to Constantinople, when the re-
sult of their mission will be laid before the diplomatic
body-. The Baron de Bourqueney went. yesterday to
the Palace, to present to his Majesty the Sultan the
letters he had recently received with respect to the
death of the Duke of Orleans. In consequence of a
circular from the British Consulate, the English resi-
dents here have put on mourning, which is to last for
a week.

-----
TRANSLATION OF A NOTE OF M. TITOFF.
I have had the honour to receive the official memo-
randum which his Excellency Sarim Effendi ad-
dressed to me under date of the 14th inst., in order
to
to
uengage
the the
Ottomanlm pe ria
empire
and the Consuls
pisirenetto
gritntpasspo of
rts
of patents to Rayahs. Having given this document
the most attentive consideration, I hasten to reiterate
to Monsieur le Ministre the most p )sitive assurance
that the wishes therein expressed on the part of the
Sublime Porte will not fail to be scrupulously acted
upon by the Imperial Legation, as well as by all the
Consular agents who are dependent on it. Indeed, it
is rigorously forbidden, by orders of the Imperial
Court, both to the mission and to Russian agents in
the Levant, to grant their protection to any, whoever
they may be, except those who are provided with
passports in form, delivered by our authorities of the
interior, declaring that the bearers of these titles are
Russian subjects, sworn and inscribed as such, in
virtue of the regulation and law of the empire. This
being the rule rigorously prescribed to direct the
conduct of the Legation and the agents of Russia,
the Sublime Porte cannot doubt of my constant zeal
to watch over their strict observance at Constanti-
nople, as well as all the ports of the Levant, where
we have Consuls. In forwarding this information to
his Excellency, I have the honour, &c.
(Signed) TITOFF.
The above *official communication of the Russian
Charge d'Affaires to the Porte I have alluded to in a
former letter, and I now send it to you as a specimen
of the cajolery which Russia, when it suits her pur-
pose, resorts to in her Eastern diplomacy. I have
already explained to you how Russian passports were
obtained by Turkish Rayahs from the " authorities of
the interior," and the evasive tenor of this note will
be apparent to you. Conciliation has for some time,
however, been the cue of the Russian Minister here.
He set his face against coercion in the Syrian affair,
and still continues to blow hot and cold upon it in a
way that is calculated indefinitely to defer its settle-
ment, and encourage the Turks in their contumacy.
It is true, this. attempt of Russia to propitiate the
Government at Constantinople appears altogether in-
cllornaisinisteehnia,t wi‘iitehldhaveria,hosstierlveirtan, dandincßenudlgiaaryna,poulnidcyyient
there can be no doubt that it is partially successful.

EXTRAORDINARY DELUstott--An inquest WaB
held at the Town-ball, Margate, on Monday last, before
G. T. Thompson, Esq., over the: body of a gentleman in
independent circumstances, named Robert Pringle, aged
57, who was found suspended by the bell-rope in his
bed-room on Saturday morning. From the evidence of
Mr. Price, surgeon, it appeared that the deceased had,
for some time past, laboured under a deep-rooted delu-
sion, in reference to something going on at the Margate
Pier—that he was under confinement for some crime he
had there committed, but was unable to state what—

that all the clocks and bells in the town had been stopped
till the verdict should be given—that he was sensible
the verdict would be against hint—and that he should
be dragged to the place of execution. He appeared
quite rational in conversing on every other subject; but
as soon as any allusion was made to the pier, he would
commence crying, and immediately fancied himself in
custody. His friends endeavoured by every means to
dissuade him from entertaining the strange fancy, but
their endeavours seemed only to confirm his conviction
of the truth of the delusion, and believed that they were
at the bottom of the plot for endeavouring to get him
abroad. The Jury, without any hesitation, returned a
verdict of "Insanity."
WARNING TO BACHELORS.—The mortality of bache-
lors, from the ages of 30 to 45, is 27 per cent. Of mar-
ried men of the same ages, 18 per cent. For 41 bache-
lors who attain the age of 40, there are 78 married men.
The difference is more striking as age advances. At the
age of 60 there are but 22 bachelors alive for 48 mar-
ried men ; at 70 years, 11 bachelors for 27 married men;
and at 80 years,
....fur 3bachelors there are 9 married men.

SUDDEN DEATH IN A PURLIC BATH.—A Coroner's
inquest was held on Tuesday night at the Cross Keys,
Belton-street, Drury-lane, before Mr. Wakley, on view
of the body of John Thomas Allin, aged 20 years. Mr.
Godfrey Laughton, of 23, Bellevue-terrace, Islington,
stated that the deceased, who was a compositor, and re-
sided with his mother at 21, West Smithfield, accom-
panied him to the National Baths, high Holborn, at
half-past seven o'clock on Saturday evening. After
they had been in the tepid swimming bath about half an
hour, witness's feet came in contact with something at
the bottom of the bath. He mentioned the circumstance
to one of the attendants, who immediately dived and
brought up the body of the deceased. It appeared to be
quite lifeless. Two surgeons promptly attended, but all
their efforts to restore animation were unavailing. By
the Coroner.—The deceased had recently been subject
to fits, and must have fallen down in one of them. There
were more than twenty persons in the bath, and it was
surprising that no one had seen the deceased sink under
the water. Witness saw him attempting to swim about
ten minutes before the body was found. Verdict " Died
in a fit while bathing?,
The Aberdeen Steam Navigation Company's steam-
ship Duchess of Sutherland met the Royal squadron in
