Party was held in London, to take into consdera-

ENGLISH SUBJECTS DYING IN FRANCE.-An unmaI-
ried woman named Brown, who after long residing
at Boulogne sur-Mer had taken up her residence at
Paris, died in the hospital de la Charlie in June,
1854 She was at first supposed to be in distress,
but it turned out that she had left securities worth
more than 300 0OOf The government took posses
sion of the property but her brother and two sis
ters, Mr.. George Brown, Mrs. Worth, and Mrs.
Munro-brought in July, 1856, action before the
Civil Tribunal to get it back, and they produced
letters of administration from the Prerogatiye
Court of Canterbury, the tribunal granted the ap-
plication. On the 28th the Prefect of the Seine
acting representative of the government, ap-
peaed to the Imperial Court to have the decision set
aside on the ground that the letters of admnstra-
tion were not sufficient to prove that Mr.. Brown,
Mrs. Worth, and Mrs. Munro were really the heirs
of the deceased and that they ought formally to
have established the fact in the required by
English jurisprudence; but the court confirmed the
former judgment.

The GREEK CHURCH IN SYRIA.-Talking of the
Greek churches therei is question now mo0ted con-
cerning the Greek Catholics which | have never vet
seen noticed in any English or French paper. The
Greek Catholics from sect not very numerous, ex-
ceptn Syria, which, holding all the pecuarities of
the Greek church-such as marriage of the clergy,
communion of the Lords Supper in both kinds,
and the ritual of their church in their own tongue
have for the last two hundred years acknow-
ledged the supremacy of the Pope, and are in
communion with Rome. Amongst other mat
tiers in which they agree with the Greek church
is IN celebrating the feass and fasts according
the Od Style, and not adopting the Gregorian
Calendar. This has long been eye-sore to the
Pope, and latterly orders were sent out to his
Nunco in Syria, desiring that the Latin, or Gre
gorian Calendar be adopted in the Greek Catholic
church. This order was at once made known, but
only few bishops of the said church proved obedi-
ent to the Holy See and where they did so the laity
strongly objected much tn at in most instances
the churches were altogether abandoned. In Alex
andria some forty families of respectable merchants
went over to the Greek 'orthodox" church, and all
through Syria the lay members ofthe Greek catholic
church have to declared themselves against
this innovation. What they object to is not so much
the actual reception Gregorian Calendar the
interference of Rome in matters which are not of
faith. In short, this movement needs but a few
clever men at its head to cause decided and deter
mined rupture with Rome. The agitation has last
ed about twelve months and has cost the Popes
Nuncio, who always resides in Beyrout or on Leba-
non, two journeys to Rome and back The number
of the anti-Gregorians has greatly increased of
late, that most-neary all-of the bishops who held
with the Pope have changed their opinion, and now
celebrate their feasts according to the Greek Caen
dar. Still, having once pronounced its fiat, Rome
IS bound to stand firm, and no doubt will do so
whilst the Greek Catholics in Syria and Egypt de-
clare that sooner than give in they will renounce
the supremacy of the Pope ogether.-Daay Ne,es'

THE WEATHER IN SYRIA.-BEYROUT, Feb 16.-ln
Syria are now, or at least we hope that we are,
getting to the end of most severe winter perhaps
the worst known in this part of the world. So
much injury has been done by this long continued
bad weather, that the appearance of the trees and
crops is at present ike what it generally is at
the commencement of December than the middle of
February. The mulberry trees, which ought to be
well in leaf by this time, have not even begun to
show their buds whilst the early barley, which at

COLONIZATION OF TURKEY.-After the LAPSE of more
than year the Grand Vizier of Turkey has in
structed the Minister of Foreign Affairs to take the
necessary steps for carrying into effect the regula-
tlons with respect to the project of immigration or
colonization. The Constantinople correspondent of
the Times thinks that this is project to attract
some OF the surplus thousands who yearly leave
their European homes for the Far West and
thus to get back, as it were, for the East what it
gave to the West centuries ago. He savs:-
country OF about 30 900 geographical square miles,
comprising some OF the finest and most fertile spoa
on the globe, with about $500 English miles of
coast and six seas-the Mediterranean Adriatic
Archipelago, Black and Red Seas, and the Persian
Gulf-1or outlets is thrown open to immigration
and offers gratis lands to those who should be in
cllned to come to the East. From their departure
the Turkish Government promises to take charge
of the cooniss. Even before their arrival in their
adopted country, plots of land will be assigned to
each celonlst, according to his means and capital
which must amount at least to f46. They will have
facilities for transporting their goods and chattes
there They are exempt from taxation for six wears
If settled in Europe, and II if in Asia The free ey-
erclse OF their religion is assured to them There are
miles and miles of the most fertile land in the
hands of the Government with scarcely apy one
upon 1t, yielding no revenues, and daily getting
more desolate. The coOnists will be obliged to
give up the protection the country to which they
belonged, and must become bona de subjects of the
Sultan submitting to all laws and established au-
thorltles in the provinces. They may quit the
country again if they not satisfied but unless
they have remained 20 years the land allotted them
cannot be sold, but must be given back to the gov
ernment. Although the abuses of authority are
not denied the Times correspondent unhestatingly
asserts that there are very few other countries in
Europe where greater personal freedom exists and
few also in which the lower classes of society are
SO well off as the great majority of Christians in
Turkey.

SUPERSTITION FRANoE.-The Tribunal of Cor
rectonal Police of Chateauroux Indre ct Loire) two
days ago heard a case which shows how deeply
rooted superstition and credulity still remain in
the minds of the inhabitants Of the country dis
tricts. A few months since, the occupiers of a
farm at Montifault were disturbed by extraor-
binary noises in their house. The curtains of
their bed danced about on their rods and the
kitchen utensils induged in the most fantastic move
ments. The father and mother of this family fell
ill, and the latter actually died from the fright into
which she was thrown by those unaccountable
noises. The two sons, of about twenty Eight and
thirty years, then went to a man named Abaire,
who resided in the neighborhood, and who had the
reputation of being sorcerer. The price paid for
his advice was l5f, his prescription consisting of
water which was prepared by an old crone who re-
sided close by, and with which the house in every
part was to be well sprinkled in order to get rid Of
the annoyance, which Alibare said was caused by
maurais AR which had got into the dwelling. This
composition, which cost the dupes 81 5Oc. was, we
need not add, Intellectual. The Judge de paix, hav-
ing been informed of these facts, had Alibaire
brought before the tribunal, and he was condemned
to one months imprisonment, l00f. fine, and the
costs.
