" Syria hen been tppremed for centuries by,
foreign tyrants who have no interest in either the

griody bends, the whole available wealth of the

by the cruel policy of pitting against each other
the various rival sects and parties. The result,

Parks ,has also been productive of numerous iota
of cruelty. ' Meal chiefs receive arpointments (by

his purpose, he wrote to inform the Pasha
of what bad occurred. 'lt is of no cense

And a stilt more fearful tragedy a:marred only a
few months ago. A Kardieth chief was appointed
by the-Ernst/at Pasha of Beyrqut to the governor

the Sheikh, priddenly collected his forces, fell upon

The Departure of the Great Eastern.
The monster, steamship, which attracted so
touch attention at the time of her arrival in
Nci , York, was suffered to depart from that
port, on Thursday, on her homeward voyage,
in the most quiet and Unostentatious manner
possible, no public interest being manifested,
and tho..only attentions paid those on board
emanating from sheriff's officers whip Were
making a last effort to enforce the payment of
unsettled bills. It was for a time considered
almost doubtful whether she would be enabled
to depart at ails as proceedings had been insti
tnteil against her owners for arialleged infringe
ment of an American patent in the construe
tlon of some of her works, as a claim of $270
had been preferred against the steward for
supplies furnished for the Cape May trip, and
as a number of the petty °filters had also con
tracted debts which they refused to pay.
These occurrences, combined with the Excur
sion swindle, have created a feeling of general
contempt for those entrusted with the manage.
ment of the Great Eastern, and thus detracted
Much from the favorable impression which ber
gigantic proportions might otherwise hero
created.
As 'a pecuniary speculatiop, her voyage to
this countrY was, probably, uusuccessfal. The
number of visitors at Now York and Annapo•
lie was about 3.75m0, but her total receipts
have, probably, scarcely equalledhey expenses.
Not st pound of freight was offered for her.re.
turn voyage, and she obtained but one hundred
passengers to' England at $lBO per head.

"Athol:4li' the Breakinridge' Committee denies

Brookinridge has nothing but ruin and defeat to

ignominious death after a brilliant career. If he

latter, and encouraging the friends of the former
by a most fervent letter, ending with the words:
"Fight on! fight on! fight on!—never yield but
In death and victory !" regretting that illness in
his family prevented him from ooming to the res

But now things have assumed quite a different

that one otitis enemies has made himself harmless

We are not surprised that this new system by
which the diffioulties that have for hundreds of
years embarrassed the beginner In hie attempts to
acquire a knowledge of Latin, should have been
welcomed by' all classes of professors and teachers,
as well those at the head of the great colleges, North
and South, as these who superintend the more
popular educational establishments. Hon Edward
Everett, former President of Harvard University;
John S. Hart, recently Principal of the Philedel

Frelinghuysen, Chancellor of Rutger a College,

A UNION ELECTORAL TICKET AOREND TO AT ATRA
[From the New York Evening Express.]
Tim result of the Convention at Syracuse, yes
terday, cannot but be in the highest degree grafi
filog to the friends of the Union, the opponents of
Sectionalism, and all who desire to stamp, deep
and broad, the brand of popular reprobation upon
the pestilent doctrines of the higher law, and an
irrepressible oontliot between the free and slave
States of this Confederaoy. An electoral tiokot
has been formed, composed of wall-known citizens,
men of sterling patriotism, integrity, and worth ;
and to that ticket there is no reason to doubt the
oonservative, Union-loving nooplo of the Empire
State will accord en undivided end entbuelastle
mime.
The result, in that event, cannot be considered
a matter of conjecture. If it does not give the final
death-blow to sectionalism, in New York, it will at
least compel the Stunners, the &swards, the Love
joys, the Helpers, and the Giddingses, to take back
caste, for another four years, and place in the
White House, on the fourth day of March next, a
Mete:man and patriot who knows " No NORTH, NO
Bourn, NO NAST, NO WBBT, NOTIIINO BUT one
COUNTRY !" We have not a doubt that there ate
thousands of honest, weber-minded, COneßntkiiVO
Republicans who, affrighted now at the re
iterated 'ultraisrns of Dlr. Seward and his
friends, will help us to ring the Bell; and
as for the Democrats, there being but really one

with a grand combination of the national elements,
not for men, but for prinelples. in New York, let

smoke inning from the seoond•atory windows of
the building No. 408 Vine street. Re promptly
gave the alarm, and in a short time the firemen
wore on the ground. The fire 'broke out in the
second story, which, together with the third, was
occupied by Mr. Frederick Brecht, as a menu
fontory of olgsr boxes. Owing to the combustible
nature of the material used, the upper part of the
building was in tames, and for a time it presented
a most threatening mum but on account of the
bora, conduct of the firemen, the lire was confined
mostly to this building. The roof of the adjoining
building, No 404, caught fire, iot.was soon ex
tinguished. This was an old three story mansion.
The upper stories of No. 406 were completely gut

IMPORTATION' og BLOODED STOCK.—Alien
lion has of late yenta been called to the breeding
of superior farming Block. A few days since a lot
of Wooded horses and COWS arrived at this port on
board of the ship Philadelphia, after a passage of
forty days. In the lot there are nine mares, each
one year old, and of the best stock in Europe. One
of the mares was sired by the celebrated horse
" West Australia," whtoh won a number of hotly
contested races. Ibis horse Is now owned by the
Emperor of the French. These mares have been
imported by Messrs Dudley b Bruce, of Kentuc ity,
for parties in that State, and they coat from ill to
700 guineas each The cows number fifteen, ell of
them being Alderney stock of the finest kind. Five
of them hod calves during the voyage, but three of
them died before reaching this port. The cows, as
well as the horses, are in excellent condition.
Eleven of the cows have been sent by their
owner, Mr. Thomas Richardson, to a farm near
Burlington. N. J.. and the remainder were shipped
to New York. The horses and cattle were pieced
in roomy stalls between decks, the said stalls be
ing padded, as well is the beams under the upper
deck, to prevent injury to the stock when the ship
roiled, or was tossed by the sot. The horses VieTe
visited by a number of gentlemen interested fn
fine stock, and they expressui themselves as being
highly delighted with the appearance and condi
tion of the animals. There are also two rems
from Leicester, both splendid speelmene of that
breed of sheep Though but one year old, they
