great The stesmers TO Civlta Sacchia and Naples

CoNsrANrISoPLE. Dec. 18th The BARAM.-The
first day Of Bairam was celebrated the 18th with
the usual ceremonies. The Sultan seemed rather
feeble, but rode his horse with effect Ria Pasha
made more show than any Of the other Pashas in
the procession, and evidently assumed an air OF de-
fance and haughtness, to strike the beholders
with fear. Nothing new or remarkable was percel-
we'd in the appearance of the other Pashas-none
seemed more humble than the good grand Vizler
Rasaf Pasha, nor any more determined than the new
Capudan Pasha, Tahir The collar of the Sultans
cloak could not hold more diamonds than were on
II, and the dresses OF all the great officers the Porte
could not have been richer even If the Ottoman EN-
pire as rich and powerful and as prosperous as
the firs nation Of the world. After leaving the Sera
Clio Point the Sultan crossed over TO Top Khaneh n,
and landing there, proceeded by land TO his palace
at Delma Baktch
PRoGREsS OF CIonIzATION AMONG TURKS
BY the most recent advices from this country we
learn that bis Highness the Bashaw of Trpoli had
captured some 30 Arabs, whom he called rebels.
These poor men he stripped naked, had them smnar-
ed with honey. and then put in irons and placed up
on wall, under burning sun. In moment they
were covered with thousands OF singing insects, and
in this deporabe plight they suffered TO die of
pain and hunger! Their scorched and maneled DO.
dies hnay dropped to pieces, and the roadway was
strewn with their scattered limbs, and the air around
infected with the nolsome exhalations. Malta

FRONTIERS OF SYRIA -BEYRoOr.-Nov. 81
hasten to write you few lines, just TO inform you
that we left Beyroot on Saturday evening las. the
10Th inst, bearing dispatches from ColOael Rose,
the senior Naval Officer, &c, respecting the Syrian
affairs. For the past month, up TO the Time of our
departures, the Druses have been committing dread
full havoc among the Christians slaughteriDg them
in all directions, and burning great number of
their villages to the south OF ReyrOOt They ex-
tended their ravages as far north as Zahle, and in
tended making a descent upon that place, but the
Turkish troops had tsken up position in the neigh
bourhood, and their presence no doubt saved its
destruction At present there Is cessation of hos
tlities, and indeed, it is to be hoped that this hefa
rious warfare is brought to close, as the Druses
were returning to their houses. The town of Bey-
reot is swarmng with mountaineers who have taken

The death Of Lieutenant General SHELTON, of the

for Is officers and 47i Ii would appear, there
fore, that not more than half the men Of this corps
have volunteered to remain in India We under
stand that the regiment will not be landed in Bom-
bay, but will remain at its present stations until
the vessels are nearly ready for sea-
KURsAuL-We gather the following local items
from our mofussilletters There has, we are sorry
to say, been great deal Of sickness among the
Europeans at Kurnaul, especially among the Bluffs.
Almost all the officers in that regiment had been
laid up with fever 800 Of the men were in hospital
(two or three deaths daily and there being a
scarcity Of medical officers at that station, Nee ut
had been indented upon for a doctor The Euro
pean regiment had also about $50 sick. The 9th
Queens has been ordered to hold itself readiness
to march to Cabul, should an European regiment be
required. A company Of Sappers is also gong up

north west provinces was expected at Meerut on
or about the 18th, aud Sir r. Arbuthnot a few
days later. The weather has much improved
HER MAJEsri's 10Th LANcEEs.-We have heard
on very good authority that Her Majesty's 10th
Lancers leave India in the course Of next year for
their native land, arrangements being in progress
for the embar.ation of the 9Th to relieve a corps
which, by the bearing of its officers and the good
conduct Of its men, has earned a deservedly good
name.
DEATH OF COLONEL DENBy.-We regret to an
nounsc the death Of Colonel DENLY, which occur
red the 18th of September, Simls after (as we
understand) but a brief illness. "He perished."
says our correspondent, " from sheer inanition,
having denied himself even rotee mukbun He
died, however, worth from lac and half 10 two
laos Of rupees which will be con- collation. to some
person or persons in the second generation; pro
badly some young nephews or nieces, for he was
hims elf single man" II is added, that she had
some time since been epjoined to go to England on
account Of his health Bat he confessed TO some of
his acquaintance that he derived too much enjoy
mcnt from accumulating' to fcrgo it even for the
sake OF health itself" The death Of Colonel Dem
by will officially promote Major Home, Brevet Ma
jor Carter, Brevet Captain Thomas, and Ensign
Lawrence but, as we believe there is no doubt of
Colonel Presgrave's death at the Cape, the step
will actually ga into the A3d REGIMENT. IL is nm
