Nothing can be more insulting to the Christian
Powers than the pertinacity with which the Porte con-
tlnues to keep a force of from three to five thousand
Arnauts in Syria. This horde of ruffians is guilty of
the most brutal excesses, especially towards the Chris-
tians, for whom they entertain the most violent
hatred. A circumstance recently took place ;which
brought even the commander of this brigand force
to his senses. An officer belonging to the French
corvette La Surprise was beaten in the streets
of Beyrout by an. Arnaut soldier. The Commandant
demanded the public punishment of the ruffian, but
Musraemt. PACIIA equivocated, and endeavoured to
screen the offender. The gallant Frenchman at once
cleared his vessel for action, and threatened unless
the punishment was publicly inflicted within one
hour, to burn the Arnaut camp. 'ibis had
the desired effect. The fellow was publicly has-
tinadoed in the presence of the French officers,
and all the civil and military authorities of
Beyrout, and an humble apology tendered in person by
the Commander of the Arnauts to the Captain of the
corvette. Were such a course always taken by the
Christian Powers, th ere would be less to fear from the
fanaticism of the Turks.

We have received Madrid Journals of the 29th ult.
The Madrid Gazette states that 30,000,000 reals only (.f
the loan of 1,600,000 having been adjudicated at twelve
percent. discount on the 27th, other offers should be re-
ceived at the Treasury for the 10,000,000 remaining
on the 30th. A Cadiz Journal announces that the
plague, or what is more properly called the bubo dis-
temper, had manifested itself in Portugal.

The proceedings of the Election Committees engross
all the attention of the French press. We begin to fear.
from the fury displaYed by the majority of the candidates,
that the Ministry has but a poor chance of commanding
a majority in the new Chambers. The more violently
M. GuizoT is attacked by the different candidates, the
more popular they appear to be.
_ _

The French Government very foolishly meddles with
with many things, which it were wise to let alone.
Thus, on Tuesday, as a number of citizens and National
Guards of Paris, belonging to the 12th Legion, assembled
to render the last honours to one of their comrades, AL
BON Y, a physician, a speech delivered over his tomb was
interrupted by a Commissary of Police. On leaving the
cemetery some National Guards were insulted by sub-
altern agents of that functionary, and an officer and
several persons who had interfered were arrested.

The Moniteur announces in its official part the receipt of
answers from the Kings of Naples and Greece, to the notifica-
tion of the birth of the Count d'Eu.
Yesterday at half-past twelve o'clock there was a Council
of Ministers at the Tuileries, at which the King presided.
The Council sat till half-past two o'clock. After the Council the
King visited the works which are in progress for repairi❑g the
chapel anti the theatre of the Tuilieries. The King set out on
his return to Neuilly, at half-pact five.
We have received the Moniteur Algerien of the 25th of
June. By a decree of the Governor-General, dated the 24th,
M. Rozey, Lieutenant-Colonel of the Militia of Algiers is
discharged from his fun'Aions.

THE SENTIMENT OF BUSINESS.—At Union-hall yes-
terday, a Mrs. Stirling was brought before Mr. Trail,
charged with attempting to commit suicide. It seems
that yesterday morning she hired a wherry on the Surrey
side of the Thames, and while the waterman was rowing
her across the river, she suddenly threw her legs over
the gunwale, exclaiming, " I'll jump overboard,"
whereupon the man replied, " I'ray don't do such
a thing as that, ma'am, or you'll get me into
trouble ; besides losing ray time at the inqueAt !"
The prompt attention to the interests of Num.
her One evinced in this reply, is admirably characteristic
of the man of business. True, the waterman intreats
the lady not to drown herself ; but why ? Because he
himself may be put to personal inconvenience, and pro-
bably be out of pocket by her suicide ! These are the
considerations that weigh most with the aquatic philan-
thropist. Here the shoe pinches. Self takes the alarm—
the interests of the pocket are in peril. Hence the wa-
terman's supplications ! If the lady would but throw her-
se.f out of any other boat ; or if she would only
assure him that he should not be summoned to
attend the inquest, and thereby run the chance of
losing a fare, then he would be the last person
on earth to thwart her wishes ; but a plunge head-
foremost into the water from his own wherry, without
any such assurance, is not to be thought of: Under such
circumstances suicide becomes quite unjustifiable, and
accordingly the tender-hearted creature enters his most
strenuous protest against it. A parallel case to the
above may be found in the following advertisement,
which was inserted in the daily papers some two years
since :—" If the young gentleman who left his home
last Friday, will not return to his distracted parents, he
is at l ast requested to send back the key of the tea-
caddy !"

TEA MARKET.
Upwards of 25,000 packages of Tea, chiefly Congou, are
declared for public sale on Wednesday next, in the inspection of
which the I rade are now fully occupied ; consequently the
market was flat, and prices almost nominal.

FALL OF THE LARGE CHURCH BELL. AT WIGAN.--
During the ringing of the bells of the parish church here, on
Sunday afternoon week, previous to Divine service, the eighth,
or the largest in the peal, fell with a tremendous crash on the
