AFFAIRS OF THE EAST
House of C0g,mon, .a,,r

:. reuse OF Commons, Aug 6h.
Mr.HUME then called the altentlon Of
the house to the state of our relations with
France and other great Powers Of Euyv
in reference to Egypt and Syria. He en-
deavoured to prove, by extracts from De-
patches, that Britain as well as Franz,
had, for the last eight years, recognned
and even guaranteed the authority Of Ne.
hemet AL in Syria. 1t was said that OF.
ders had been sent TO Captain Napier to
oppose the landing of the Pacha's lroos
at Beyrout. This, il true, woua
lead to a perious war; If false, it
could be easily coniradicted. He wshtl
20 know whether the convention Of En-.
land, Austria, and Prussia, had been sien.
cd, and whether there would be any Obrs.
ton to lay it on the table before The close
Of the session. He called on Ministers to
avoid disastrous war, and abide by then
own pledges of non-nterference; instead
OF which, they were now acting on the
principles OF the holy alliance and throw.
ing off the Friendship Of France, the only
constitutional Government in Europe
He begged TO know what right this country
had to interfere between the Porte snd,ny
of itsvassals. The hostiIities Of the Is'i
Ia months had been owing 10 England,
and she was now bringing the hazard O.
war upon herself. The preparations Of
France showed the feeling entertained 10
that country. Meanwhile, every ssslsia''
&c given by US To the Russian power 70
Europe served to strengthen that powsI
against US in India, and TO endaDgef the
ACKNOWLEDGMENT OF Turkey. He concludes
by moving an address to the Crows lOf'
copy of the convention.
Lord PALMERSTON desired TO e.
press an opinion Numerically opposite 70
hat of Mr.. Hume, as to the policy P1'
sued by Great Britain on the affairs Of .a'
East. The guarantee alleged by MI
Hume to be proved by the dispatches 'e,
erred TO was by those very desps'eDe'
distinctly disproved. Whatever The cav
les of the revolt in Syria British interfere
lnce was not among them.
He denied that there had been any W
ention to throw off the French aIlanceO %
he contrary, the British GovsInfa'n
continued to cherish it as OF the h's","

Ga(e.-A heavy and destructive gale
has been raging here since midnight. It
commenced Blowing from the South, then
veered TO the Southwest with increased
fury, and swelling the waters 10 within six
| inches of the highest wafer mark Of 1885.
The flats adjacent to the ship yard are in
undated and considerable damage has been
done 10 the shipping. We gather the fol-
| lowing: The steamboats, Michigan and
| NermllIion, drlted from their moorings
| and went ashore near the the ship yard.--
The Schooner Bancroft with q full cargo
OF flour and wheat, was ran foul of in the
creek and every spar cut off even with tho
deck, Schooner Martha Freme came in
during the gale this morning and on round
| ing the pier, ran against ii and sprung
| leak-shc however reached the dock and
IS now still atloat-both pumps are kept
going
Tho brig North Carolina, schooners
| Chesapeake, Buffalo, Cambria, Lexington
and several others were overtaken on the
lake and experienced much difficulty IN
reaching port. The Cambria lost every
inch of canvass and entered the harbor in
a dreadful plight. The schooners Lex
ington and Jas. King, are stranded below
the Light House, but will sustain but little
injury.
The brig Indiana drilted up the harbor
during the night carrying with her sever
al scows which are now high and dry on
the flats. The brig Erie, is also away
from her birth. The new schooner Emf
y has all her starboard railing carried
away, and the following vessels are maize
rally injured in spars and rigging, steam
boat Fulton, brig North Carolina, schoon-
crs, Commodore Florida, Bucknor, Tippe-
canoe, Ruggles, Alps, Mitchell and others.
A lumber scow from Irving is sunk near
Parsons " Cos warehouse, and three
bridges are much damaged on Main street
Lloyd ST. and Ohio street. A large ware
house owned by Mr.. Dart. on the flats OPP
PoSfe the store-house of Mcssrs. Gelston
& Evans, fell in and is minus the roof
The canal boat Free Trader, was caught
under Main 81. bridge, but not entirely
sunk. There is also fleet of scows drI-
ven up in various parts, but not otherwise
injured. The schooner Navigator lost some
spars andall her bulwarks on the arboard
side.
We hear reports Of two lives lost, but
cannot trace them to any foundation 10
fact. There were, however, some serious
accident which occurred A man belong
ing TO the brig Indiana, by the name of
Brown, got his foot entanged with the
chain cable and suffered dreadiully. 1t
was laccrated TO such a degree, that ampu-
ta.ion was necessary. Another man named
Davidson, Of the shr. Buffalo, had his leg
broke, by being caught between the roll
ing casks. This we believe to be the most
important injury done. AS may be sup
posed there was much loss Of lumber, wood
swine, &C., by the inundaton.

a little house sufficient for himself. That

has lent hand, is now nearly finished
Many people Of taste have been to visit it.
They'll found it Of excellent construction,
and even distinguished by an air of ee-
gance. But the talent Of the artist did not
end here; he next undertook 10 the scuIp-

he had left jutting out in the facade of his
building, into shape and comliness Of struc-
fure. With very Indifferent implement,

Of Fylau and Fricdand, and at the treaty
