SYRIA.

%TROUT, SEPT. 3.—From the many reports in
circulation on the arrival of the French squadron, one
conclusion was apparent, viz., that the whole country,
both highland and lowland, would hail any change
of Government that promised them relief with the
greatest enthusiasm. The inhabitants are greatly dis-
satiqtied with the Government. No open acts of hos-
y have yet occurred, but the mountainous districts
are slumbering like a volcano, that will break out
with greater violence after a short cessation from
eruptions. Omer Pacha is feared, but not liked, by
Druse or Maronite, and this dispute between
the great Powers and the Sultan respecting the placing I
an Emir of the house of Shehab as Governor of the
Lebanon in the stead of Omer Pacha, is looked upon
as a circumstance that will eventually cause a renewal
of disturbances in the mountains.

The commerce of the country was never known to
be in so stagnant a state. Stocks are large, and
daily accumulate, but there is little or no demand—
pric:3 are falling, and coins rising.
Tr.:-selling in the interior is rendered unsafe, and
eve:: riding a short distance from Bevrout is not un-
atte:l:led with danger. This is truly a lamentable
picture of the state of the country.

SOUTHAMPTON, OCT. 5, 8 A.M.—The Royal Mail
Stea:n-packet Company's ship, Dee, has just arrived
with 60 passengers, and 500,000 dollars on freight.
Wll;,n 140 miles off the Lizard (on the 27th ult.),
the Dee encountered very boisterous weather, which
compelled her to put in to Corunna ; her dates are—
Havannah, Sept. 1; Nassau, Sept. 5 ; Bermuda,
Sept. 11 ; and Fayal, Sept. 21.

O:i Tuesday an inquest was held before Mr. Thos
WU!:ley, at the Holland Arms Tavern, High-road,
Kensington, on the body of Daniel. Sutton, sen., Esq.,
aged eighty-six years, whose death occurred on
Friday last, under the following awfully sudden cir-
cuirsiances :—The deceased gentleman resided on
Ear i's-terrace, Kensington. On Thursday last he
drove out, and seemed as well as usual, and on the
following (Friday) morning he got up at his usual
hour, and partook of his breakfast, but shortly after-
wards he suddenly complained of indisposition, and
before medical assistance could be procured the un-
fortunate gentleman was a corpse. Verdict, "Natural
death." It is stated that the deceased gentleman died
possessed of property amounting in value to nearly
half a million sterling.
We lately mentioned that the Guildry of Dundee
had
resolved to confer the freedom of the Incorpora-
tion upon the Marquis of Breadalbane, as a public_
acknowledgement of the princely manner in which
her Majesty and Prince Albert were entertained at
Tay mouth Castle, to w
by °the circumstance of the present were further induced
p
bean born in that town. His
in_oorntdst ,
and
Lordship
Marquis having
to accept of the intended compliment, was pleased
invited the
Dean and other two members of the Guild Incorpo-
ration to dine and pass the night at Tayn
on occasion of the presentation, for ,iiiiicliiaouth particular
Castle
day last week was named. The fatality,
however
which seems to have attended most burgh arrange,
ments connected with the Royal visit, Dundee has
not I
escapA; for the box in which the freedom was to be
enclo:ed not arriving from Edinburgh so soon as pro-
raise:l, the Guild deputation did not leave for Tay-
mouth till the day subsequent to that appointed, when
they had the mortification to be met at Dunkeld with
the in:ormation that the Noble Marquis had left the
Castln that morning- for some distance. and the pre-
sentation has therefore to be deferred sine die.—Perth
Courie'r:

LOVE AND INIADNEss.—The inhabitants of Breage
have lately been entertained with a farce, somewhat
like thlt of the maniac falling in love with the picture
of g'-andmother, but which, on Thursday last, had
very toady-ended in tragedy. A young man in the
spr.ir.,; of life became desperately enamoured of the
wrin :led visage of an old widow lady, whose only
riches. Jere eight full-grown babes, and a pensioner
cn th.i parish. His friends remonstrated in vain. It
was a flame which nothing but death or the altar
could quench ; and worst of all, the venerablecharmer
herself unkind. Unable to endure his misery, the de-
spairing lover procured and swallowed a quantity of
laudanum, in the presence of his friends, who bundled
him into a cart, and drove hastily into Helston, where
the stomach pump and proper remedies were applied
with effect : but it was not until the victim, "crazed
with hopeless love," had undergone a lengthened drill,
followed by an immense concourse of boys, whose vo-
ciferations prevented sleep, that he was out of danger.
A public whipping would have been a useful addition.
