insult, says
Is the pointed insult leyelled at the United
States by Lord Brougham, at the Statistical
Congress on Monday, TO be made an interna-
tional question No one could mistake the

If so, he accepted the invitation to receive the
treatment which we have described.
There are, indeed, considerations which
make Us neither expect or wish that the yio-
lation Of decorum should receive any off,
cal notice. Lord Brougham is no longer
young; he was born in 177S; and although he
has preserved his faculties in an extraordi.
nary degree, it would be unjust to assume that
the furgetfuness of which he was guilty on
Monday, would have happened four or five
years ago, or perhaps even 40 three years
ago. The lesson which Henry
BroughAm seems still TO need would be fur
nished by q visit to the United States TO learn

law and justice relgns, and how a generous
people would revenge his preludices by the
heartiest Of welcomes.
A meeting of the creditors of Messrs. Streat-
field, Lawrence d Mortimore leather and
hide fac tors, had been held The proceedings
excited the greatest interest. Ii appears the
ascertalned liabilities amount TO G7i4 i46,
whilst the assets es esLimaIed on paper at

1859 about $4,000 per annum. The embar-
Tassment OF the firm arose through support
ing numerous other houses in the same trade.
Once engaged with them, ii was obliged to go
on providing them with meaus. The involve

On the evening of the 18th ult. the Royal
Guards, at Naples, committed violent excesses
against the inhabitants, shouting a the time

The Pope had pronounced an alocution

tese Government. on account of the arrests
and condemnation Of the bishops Of Pisa,

SYRIA.
Wehaye news from Syria down to the 1lth.
No further incident of importance had taken
place, but the state of things continued to be
very grave, and not less than B, 900 fugitives
from the interior had arrived at Beyrout and
Leyda. A dispatch from Beyrout, via Mar-
seIlles says that the Christians of Damascus
no longer quit their houses. The French Con-
sui displays the greatest energy, being sup
ported by Ab-del- -kader, with 200 Algeriaus.
NJ Portals, a French cotton twist manufac-
turer in the Lebanon, has saved the Christian
Inhabitants OF the neighborng villages, hav-
ing granted refuge to 500 persons, and
driven back the enemy. The Pasha affects to
negotiate for peace, but the Maronite tribes
are claiming Indemnity.
Great anxiety was felt at Beyrout respect
ipg the fate OF the Christians who had taken
refuge in the south OF Kesrouan, to the number
of $1,000 and who were surrounded by the
Druses and Mutualis in much greater num-
bers.

her Majesty q ueen Victoria a letter similar to
