AEFAIRS SYRIA

The following, from letter to one of the
cdltors, dated "Sidon, April 11th, 1855" af-
lords somewhat of an insight into affairs in
syria as they exist at the present time. The
ottentloh OF the Turkish government being
absorbed in the war with Russia, its provin.
cial population is left without control, with
ample opportunity to manifest the discordant
elements of which it is composed. The let
ter says :-"Our mails are very irregular. be-
cause, every little while the post Is robbed
somewhere along the road. There is no gov
ernment outside the towns and cities. Rob-
berles and murders are rife all over the coun-
Try and no attempt is made to suppress them.
A few days ago most revolving tragedy was
enacted at Hasbelyea. One of the Emirs of
the feudal family Of that district, shot his own
daughter as she was lying in bed. She was
wounded but not killed. The father then for
ced cup of poison down her throat called a
lew men and sent her off to her grave while
she was yet alive, and begging them to wait
until she was dead. No notice has been ta-
ken Of this most horrd deed.
LIN the South, from Aka to Nazareth,
liberias, Nablous, &C., the people dare not
SO from village to village, except in consider
able parties, and armed The Turkish au-
thorities are completely paralyzed. Yet,
strange to say, in the midst of all this dstrac-
ton and anarchy, the gospel is working its
way and spreading its influence widerand deep
er. We do not see great waking up but
constant loosening and weakening of old
superstitions and errors, and throwing off
the yoke of the priesthood. There is also n
decided Improvement in the temporal condi-
ton OF the peasantry. The high prices for
all sorts of produce, and especially oil, of
which this last winter there was n very large
harvest, have made the 'fellaheen' quite indie
pendent. The artisans and working classes
in the towns and cities suffer most. Their
trades are but little worth in these times, and
they have to buy everything at very enormous
rates. As everything is TO come right when
the war is finished, we may hope for better
times for these poor people when that desir-
able event is consumated In the meantime
as the Arabs say, live old horse till grass
grows The grass truly will grow some time
or other-all that is needed is to do without
until it does grow" Judging from these in
dcations, we should say that tourists who
contemplate visiting Syria had better defer
heir journey until a more propitious season.

TIE GALE or SUNDAY NIGHT did great
damage among the roofs and awnings and
hundreds of the latter were torn to tatters.
Speaking of tatters, the best garment must
