Chamberlains Such is the discomfort pre-
duced by the blow given tO the national reli-
gi0n and manners BY the new system, that
an explosion Is only prevented by the severe
measures Fesorted to. The Sultan seems ~
solved to root up entirely the old system, and
to such point does he carry this resolution,
that he has suppressed The corps Of the Dos
tandSiS, who from time immemorial had been
entrusted with the guard Of the SeragHO nod
pleasure houses Of the Grand SeigniOr. The
BOstandgis have received orders TO enrolthem-
selves in the new militia. The ministers Of
the Porte at the same time adopt measures
which tend to ameIiogatc several branches Of
the Government. The Patriarchs Of the
Greeks aud Armenians have been eniOined,
as well MS the Grand Rabbi, to come to an
understanding with the persons Of their res
pective comn1unions for a moro equal diyis-
ion Of the taxes which they have to pay
Upon this occasion declaration was made Co.
them that the Government did not intend to-
abolish the poll-tax. but merely TO regulate
1t IN such a manner that every one mightcOn-
tribute according to his fortune. Pho plague
has assumed a most fatal character. It has
even made its way among the Franks, aud to
several vessels in the harbOr. A Turkish d.

his son Ibrahim." ~
Extract ola letter from Tarsons, in Asia
Minor, dated the S0tia Of May, 1895 :--"The
plague has made great ravages in Adams; the
dead are no longer inferred; several quarters
are surrounded, and the few living persons
who are there without being attacked, die
from the infection Of the bodies that are left
to purify in the houses. At Tarsons, about
20 persons die ont Of so who are attacked /:
at Adana 40 die out Of so. Up to the pres
ent moment TarsOns is the limits of this
scOurge in the southern direction"
The Augsburgh Gazette contains the fol-
' Topal Pacha has miscarried in his attack
upon the Isle Of Samos, for the third time,
and, after. having two frigates and two briggs
burnt by the Greeks, was obliged to retire to-
the waters Of Scio. IL this intelligence should
turn cut true, 4amos will be saved for this
year, and the moral impression which the
failure Of this enterprise will make upon
The Greeks. will probably prevent renewal

The Italian journals contain The following
article, dated Ancona, Aug. 18th $50. Letters
direct from Napoli di Romania give minute
details of an important battle fought near an
:ient Laconia, in the country Of the Mainotes,
n which the Turco- Egyptians lost severall
thousand men besides all their baggage and
artillery, which fell into the hands Of the
Greeks. 1t was added that Ibrahim Pacha
was forced to fec. in order to avoid being tn
zen prisoner, and was indebted for his
escape to the swiftness Of his horse. The
Greeks likewise suffered great loss, and Gen.
Nikitas was among the slain. The English
Col. Gordon commanded division Of the
Greek troops" Pacha has 90 often
been defeated and wounded, Hpoa paper, nay,
absolutely killed, that we place very little con-

Patent Bells.-Mueh has been said, Oflate,
about newly invented bell for churches and
other public buildings, and the highest enco-
niums are passed upon them, 40 being incom-
parably preferable to the old kind Of bells.---

over common bells. .Itis calculated from
repeated experiments that one pound Of the

Of bells. They do NOT rack the steeple, may
be rung by chiId, and cost less than half

vantages which they possess over those in

ofthis description for their elegant church
