No- thing more important could be done for the people; and though the proposal was left for another hear- img, I think it will be carried, for it is considered @@ worthy of the careful regard of the whole As- sembly. Another proposition was that made by General Fabvier, to release the famed prisoner, Abd-el-Ka- dir, whois detained at the Castle of Amboise, and to take him, with his swite, on board of a men-of- war, which would land them either at Alexandria er St. Jean d’Aere, according to the conditions taade by bim when he surrendered himself to Gen- eral Lamoriciere. It is well known that the Ara- bian prophet has been the bitterest enemy of France; and though he pledges his word of honor that he will never return to Algeria to excite a war against France, he has been so often unfaithful, that it has been thought prudent not to accept any proposition on his release from jal. ‘It is great deal better to keep your foe under your feet, than above your head,” seys a French proverb, and in this affair it is quite applicable. A third proposal is that of M. Creton, a representa- tive of the Orleanist party, who wishes that a vote of the National Assembly, shold recall from exile all the Bourbons of the elder or younger branch. This proposition, which was oui of season, was accepted calmly by the whole assembly; but the Minister of Interior, having demanded that it ahould be postponed til! Saturday, ths was grant- ed on the vote of the ordre du jour, and we may be eertaia that the movements on that day will be guite interesting. No doubt the proposal will be , fays M. Creton, since a representative ed by the constitution to submit, every @ix months, for the sencti sembly, a proposal w h has been rejected by its vore, } must not leave this eflair, and very likely, | one day or another, I will have a chance to see it succeed, __ The last, but not the least, of new and important proposals, is that to transfer the seut of government to Versailles, or to some other city than Paris, where the influence of par- | ties can have less effect over the power of the head of the state. General Grammont, who pre- sented this proposal, saw it rejected by the Aseembly unanimously, for there is nothing, at the present moment, requiring the demanded re- moval. Perhaps, some day or another, to Versailles, or to some other city, ed; and, it is to be feared, it w chance of safety may be left. A change of ministers has been rumored, through the announcement of the journal La Presse. Itis aseerted that M. Mole was to take the place of the present president of the cabinet, and M. de Per- signy would be turned out of the Fly. @Atgout would take the place of M Fould in the treasury departmen Daru and Armand Lefebvre (act Berlin) would assist M. Moie. General Lahitte would be sent to Berlin’ Such a new ministry, if the combination is certain, will be in favor of. the Ausirian government. Though nothing official hae been rendered public, as yet, there is some thing in the wind which blows wrong at the Elyeee; and a change of ministers, whatever it may be, is the topic of conversation in the political circles.

The London 7tmes correspondent tursishes the following account of the dreadful outburst of Mus- sulman beer { Poesy cruelty at Al — A fanatical Moslem spirit has burst into fury on the Christian population of this town—such a hor- rible and altogether unprovoked persecution as one in your population ought to hear, and England to be apprised of. In the space of twenty-four hours several hundred families, comprising the most re- spectable native Christians of Aleppo, and consist- ing of about 7,000 individuals (Rayahs), have been, under the most alarming and distreesing circum- stances, rendered houselese. The following isa brief outline of the facts :— On the night of the Itch of October, numerous armed bands of Moslem people forcibly entered the dwellings of the Chrisnans inhabiting those quar- ters of the town called Sulibi and Fedida, plunder- ing every house of what it possessed ; and, when- ever the least resistance was shown, wounding and murdering the inmates. On the 17th the same scenes continued to be per- petrated. The light of the sun was no obstacle to these atrocities. Concerned in the welfare of the American Protestant missionasies, as well as other indiv duals in that quarter, and also feeli | the importance of learing the real stete of afiaire, put myself at the head of ten armed Moslems, upon Whom I conld rely, and sallied out for Sulibi. ‘The roads everywhere leading to that quarter were thronged with Christians of both sexes. There were the aged and the infant, the parents of many children and the énctentes, all hurrying away in the terror with which they were mspired by the | burning of their churches, the desecration of their homes, the despoliation of their wealth, the destruc- tion of their property, the dishonor of their wives and maidens, and in some instances the ruthless | slaughter of their relatives. I was soon in the midst of the'conimotion at Sulibi, where I saw hundreds of Moslems despoiling the houses, burning the Greek | and Syrian Catholic churehes, hurrying off with their plunder—all this in broad daylight and under the eyes of Turkish goldiery ; none to oppose, none to prevent these,matchiess depredatdrs from ac- | complishing their horrible designs on an inoffen- | sive people—of murder, rape, incendiarism, aad pil- | lage. Three handsome churches, worth upwards of £25,000, have been burnt; five churches have been plundered ; an invaluable library, containing an- | cient Syrian manuscripts, destroyed; three priests, | wnd several other Christians, in number exceeding | 14, have been killed; many, among whom is the | Syrian bishop, a highly respected octogenarian, | have been wounded, and of whom some have | died, and others are dying. ‘The principal Chrie- | tian quarters, such as Sulibi, Fedida, Toomayat, Haret, 11 Un Kabobt, Tudreebee, Bowabet, But- sacked. The loss of property is estimated at near a million sterling. The motives which have caus- ed these atrocines will be found in the following econsiderations:—The acts of government, party | spirit, fanaticism. | 1. The pasha recently promulgated an edict to the eflect that a certain number of Moslems (the | Christians are invariably exempt) were required for the military service, and that, therefore, the conscription should be levied. The populace, tol- lowing the exemple of Damascus, and other minor Con 8, deiermined upon opposing the measure. Xather than submit to the conscription, they would i "4 . | take to the desert, or remove to other places and tepaciant tae Seng toy dg nab ee villages, already. tor the same reason, disattected. that he hesitates to publish it. [am able to say | Damascus had recently revolted against this levy, that this document refers to the fusion of the two branches, which is now aceepted by all the Orleans family, with the exception of the lachess, mother | of the Count of Paris. M. Guizot, travelling in a t-chaise with a gentleman entirely unknown to | im, sasured that person that he was persuaded **that France would not remain long as a republic; and that the entire nation would soon be glad to recall the two branches of the Bourbons. himself, he was satisfied that such a policy is now the only porte de Salut offered to our country, which, not returning to the absolutism of an here- | ditary government, must always be threatened by anerchy.” The riot of St. Audeol, which was, I think, an- nounced by telegraph to the newspapers of London, sent by the last steamer, has been put You may calculate that esthe sixth time, for the half last year, that the red party have tried to revolutionize the im .ime to down Leng authorities this m: southern departments of France. From the depart- ments included in Burgundy to the Mediterranean zea, aod from Marseilles to the Hautes and Alps, their are two parties—either legitimists or red republican. The former are organized to protect the laws, the latter to attack them. The orgeniza- ‘tion of the rowges is really powerful. Their emis- waries are very pumerous, and incessantly im the villages, where they re the dangerous dectrines of the party. s for the legitimists, they are ready to repulse all attacke; and their Bumber is equal to, if not a than, that of their opponents. th bodies are disposed nothing of a serious character will be so long as Paris remains quiet. But if Paris should be agitated, this would set fire to the powder, and the — would eventuate in a civil war. pe aed the horizon of our future is dark with heavy clouds. Whilst the parties are thus in presence of each As for | Basses Sa | and the hill country is now in @ siate of disquiet. While it ie perfectly legitimate in a government to levy troops, it ought to be in a position, especially | when it is forewarned, as in the case of Damas- cus, to meet with suflicient force the consequences of such a measure. It ought to be prepared to | crush every attempt at resistance. Jt was not so | with our governing powers. They had but re- cently sent off the majority of the troops which garrison this town to Damascus, to quell dis- | turbances there. It was inopportune, therefore, to insist upon the conscription here at this mo- | ment; the few hundred troops which remain are insuilicient to maintain the quiet of a consider- able town. ‘This fact wag well bnowem te the chiets of the two parties which, at this moment, contest the influence of the town. 2. This party spirit has for ite leader on the one side the Pasha, or Governor of the province, and, on the other, the Mossuileim, or Governor of the | town. The latter oflicer belonged to that defunct | body, the Janissaries, is a native of a neighboring | village, commenced life as a butcher's boy here, but has gradually acquired, certainly not for his virtues, and for many years maintained, consider- le influence in the city, Like Fouche, he krows al all the misdeeds committed in the town, and can apprehend all evil-doers.

Thus, it must be under- | stood, that the cordiality still reiyas be- tween France and the United States.

In Piedmont the king opened the chamber on the 23d inet., and his speech has been received with much favor.

On this point both parties were of one | opinion—that to trample on the Christians would be an service rendered to the Moslem | faith. The covernor of the town would fan this spirit from motives of ambition to recover lost pow- er. The Pasha would encow it to shield him- self from the vengeance of the disaffected by turn- ing their fury from himeelf upon others, to flatter popular opinion, and from a comaciousness that he ‘was not in & condition to resist its violence.

The Greek Catholica had lately finished a church at a cost of mere than £10,000 sterling. The Maronites were enlarging and repairing theire. The state of things had for some time past attracted attention, and above al! | the deportment of the Greek Catholic patriarch, which was considered extravagont ostenta- tious. It was remarked that on thé Ith, on the oecasion of a Turkish festival, when he visited the Pasha, he went on horse- back in the style of a prince, with silver stick ‘and a silver cross elevated prominently before him—an exhibition which gave umbrage to ‘The Moslem chiefs, who were aleoon a like visit. It will not be surprising, therefore, to know that when the plunderers commenced their unholy work, the Moslem should mount the roof of the Greek Catholic Church previous to setting fire to the edi- | fiee, and thence loudly proclaim the doom ofithe Christions, Fantatacism was now rampant. _ The body of one of the priests killed was cut to pieces; that of another was ignominiously burnt.

The great exhioition in Hyde Park must be something more than a mere show. If the desiga be properly carried out, and its Se fally developed, the mannfacturing skill and inventive spirit of the nation cannot fail to be called into full exercise by the stimulus of foreign as well as of native rivalry in the presence of the assembled world. There is some fear, however, that in the arrangemenis to give eflect to the exhibition, more attention may be made to display than to utility; that those will be most favored which ex- hibit to advantege the application of eapital to manufacturing industry; and that the possessors of wealth will have the best chance as exhibitors.— ‘The ingenious artisan and the obscure inventor, to whoce ingenuity it was expected the exhibition would bring notice and reward, seem to have been singularly disregarded din the arrangements made subsequently to the original design. It was in the first instance proposed that money oe of tempt- ing omounts should be offered for the hest preduc- tions in each department of the exhibition. This plan was abandoned, at the suggestion of those to whom moneyi s no object in comparison with hon- orary distinction; and thus the mecessitous work- man is leprived of the chief inducement to become acompetitor. It is, indeed, in contemplation to meke pecuniary grants in certain cases to the poorer claes of ‘successful competitors; but a dis- tinction of this kind is individuous, and if carried into eflect would convert the intended honor into & mark of degradation Another of the proposed regulations appears to favor capitalists unduly, by giving the purchaser -.

A sensible letter from Dr. Stolle, of Berlin, in the Morning Chronicle, points out Sreagy. the inexpediency of the exclusion of prices. If, as he observes, the objects exhibited are to be viewed without reference to the cost of production, the Tarest exotic might surpass in apparent value a similar product from its indigenous clime, and St. ees g might bear away the prize trom Smyrna the growth of figs.

[From the London Mercantile Gazette, Noy. 2, P.M.)

The fact is, that buyers act with so much caution, that so soon as they have secured what they deem sufficient for their immediate wants, they cease operating.

On Wednesdey hardly a bargain was closed in either kil and this morning the transactions were again unimportant.

The arrivals of flour from abroad have been moderate, and good fresh parcels of French and American have not been sold cheaper than last week. ‘ihe inquiry for malting barley has rather slackened; and though the display of samples was not large on Monday, considerable difficulty Was experienced in obtaining the rates of that day een’night, but neither then nor since have sellers congented to accept lower rates.

The large dealers having, however, held off buying, the trade has remained in an inactive siate, and the business which was done on Monday was at barely as high prices as those current on that day week This morning sellers showed more firmness, but we can notice no improvernent in the demand, purchasers generally confining their ope- rations to as narrow a compass as their p ag necessities permitted. Beans of home-growth have moved off tardily throughout the week, and Egyp- tians have been taken cautiously at late rates. The quantity of white peas offered for sale has been more than sufficient to satisfy the demand, and the turn has been ogainst the seller. We have heard of no sales of Indian corn, but the article has been held quite as high as before. The Low Theatres of London [From the London Cbristiau Times, Nov.—) The normal schools of vice and profligacy in London are the low theatres, where abandoned actors dance the most disgusting ballets, vitiate the love of music by comic songs of the worst tendency, and perform dramas, farces, and tragedies, which convey to the audience infamous lessons in all the crimes that afilict and impoverish society. The persons that attend these penny theatres are, for the most part, the juvenile children of the poor, varying between the ages of eight and twenty, the reat majority em | boys unable to read and write. ‘e had often heard of these Achrrontic abodes, but scarcely credited the rumors of even witnesses of there deplorable performances, till we visited them ourselves. i The first of these theatres, situated in a district gorged with a vicious population, opened with a comic song, by a person who represented the cha- racter of a tipsy beggar-man, raising roars ef laugh- ter at the expense of teetotalism He described the jeys of drunkenness, its independence and Pry apg meg was joined in the chorus by several hundred boys, who forme! eight-tenths of the ro,” The Crops mm China, [From the Shanghae Herald, Aug.
