Afifairs of the East.--The recent news’ country”—lor it has produced more fine hor-
from syria, or some of it, is not a little puz- ses and great statesman than all the rest of
cling to persons well acquainted with that "
country. If it be true that the Emir Be-
chir has abandoned the cause of Mehemet
Ali and retired to England, to take no‘ more
part in the contest of the East, we may be
‘sure that the dominion of Egypt in Upper
Syria is a_t an end. His people, the..Maron-
ites, number 500,000; the Druscs, who
were in a measure under his control, are es-
timated at 70.000; lhe Ansaries. more nume-
rous than the Druses, will go thesame way;
and so will other large bodies of mountain-
eers, all warlike, and all fanatical. If they
join_the allies and the Emir flies to save life
Ibrahim can have no hope of subduitigtheui.
But the Emir is a subtle and crafty old politi-
cian_.fainous for movements that no one could
understand’. till seine time afterwards. He
has long been closely connected with Mohe-
met Ali, and more than once has been indebt-
ed to him for his office, if not for his life.—
He is a reputed descendant of "The Proph-
et,” but became a Maronite (Roman Catho-
lic) for political reasons. Early in the year
1823, he was an exile in Egypt, whither he
had fled from the wrath of the Sultan ; but
in July he was again in his palace on Mt.
Lebanon. At the first conquest of Syria by
-the Egyptian armies, he was once more in
danger, and was saved only by the success
of Ibrahim. At every subsequent insurrec-
tion, he has moved uniritelligibly till the de-
cisive moment, and then declared liimselffor
the Egyptians. If he has now gone on an
embassy to the Roman Catholic powers of
Europe,cheating the English out of the price
of his passage by a pretended surrender, it
would be exactly in keeping with his whole
past history. But, instead of going on an em-
bassy to those powers, he may be executing
a secret agreement with them. .There is
reason to suspect that lie was meditating an
abandonment of Mehc-ine.tAli, even before the
attack on Beyrout. Very possibly, he may
have gone to negotiate for his own restora-
- _tion to power under a new order of things.
-On’ every supposition, this voyage of the
Emir proves that in his judgement,—and
no man living better understands that coun-
try, the future destiny of Syria will be deter-
mined by the. Christian powers of Europe.—
It will belong to Turkey, orEgypt, or either,
just as they shall decide; for the Mussulman
powers have no ability to resist their good
pleasure.
This ascendcncy of Christian powers over
Turkish counsels may be of use to a very
interesting people, in a very interesting cri-
sis oftheirafiiaiis. We refer to theindepcn-
dent Nusrany, as they call themselves, or
Nestorians as they are usually called by
others, in the Koordish mountains, around
the head waters of the Tigris. Oftheir once
splendid empire, which extended even to the
borders of China, this fragment, of about
100,000 souls, alone retains its independence
Defended by their own valor, they have
hitherto withstood all attempts to subdue
them; and indeed, we be.lieve both Turks
and Persians have long since given up the
hope of conquering them, and abstained from
attempting it. They are surrounded by the
Koords. who are freebooters by profession,
but who are afraid of them. Most of the
Koords pay tribute, either to the Turks or
Persians; but some of them enjoy an unqual-
ified independence, like the Ncstorians. It
was a favorite project of the late Sultan, to
reduce the whole population ofthe Koordish
mountains to obedience Some months since,
tle chief of the Haikkei'ce Koords, visited
Erzeroum, acknowledged his alliance to the
Porto, and ofii-.retl to secure the allegiance of
all the other inhabitants ofthose mountains;
and the Turkish Pasha pledged hiinselfto
furnisli troops, if necessary, to accomplish
this object, as soon as they could be re-
called from other service. We do not know
whether the Ncstorians were expressly men-
tioned in this argreement; but there can be
no doubt that it was intended to includethem,
and it is so understood in that part of the
world.
Now, as the Turkish empire is probably
about to be governed on better principles than
forriiely, it may be well for this little liand-
ful of Christians to become it part of it, in a
suitable nianner and on reasonable. terms; or
it may be better‘ for them to continue as they
are. But certainly, it is not desirable that
they should be given up to the ferocity of
the Koords, who have long feared and hated
them, backed by the power of Turkey, and
that power‘ sustsined by the leading cabinets
of Christian Europe. Their case is, in ev-
ery moral point of view, at least as well wor-
thy ofatterition as was that of Greece.
Iftliis Christian State in the heart of Asia
has hitherto attracted but little attention, it
is because little has been known of it. Some
years since a German traveller attempted to
visit them, but was murdered by the'Koords
before he entered their country. \Vithin
two years, our countrymen, Dr. Grant, has
visited them twice; and a Mr. Ainswortli,
an Englishman, has since followed his track
among their mountains. These, we believe,
are the. only men of European descent, who
have ever been there.—Jom'. of Commerce.

Tip and Ty.—The President and Vice
President elect, were born and “ raised” in
this little County, and I am happy to say,
that pretty nearly all of us here voted for
them, and it is not our fault ifthey have not
got amajority in their nativeCommonwealth.
William Henry Harrison was born on a
plantation then and now called Cabin Point,
and it is a somewhat singular coincidence that
he became the log Cabin candidate for the
Presidency. John Tyler’s birth place was
in the same neighborhood. The parents of
both were of the old Virginia stock, and were
distinguislied alike for wealth. for patriotism,
and public services. Benjamin Harrison
was a signer of the Declaration of Indepen-
dence, and Judge Tyler was eminent as a
lawyer and ajudge. The two counties of

Besides these gentlem_an.and Mr.
(who was also born in this low country)
there have been others also born here who
were candidates for the Presidency or well‘
deserved to be—particiila rly Chief Justice
Marshall, Wm. H. C-rawforilt and Hem)’
Clay. ‘
There is no doubt that General Harrison
could, with ease, be re-elected. if, like. some
of his predecessors. he should be pursurided
that thefpublic good required his services for
another term. There will not want many
and earnest endeavors to dissuade him from
his honorable purpose to break up t-he two
term principle——whicli if persisted in mrist
destroy the government. But, I trust, that
it is a part of his high destiny to bring back
the Constitution to its true spirit and objects,
by abolishing the principle of reeligibility,
and the still more odious practice of nomina-
tions, by the President of the successor.
BECOMING RATIONAL.
The Van Burr-n journals are, very gener-
ally, abandoning the absurcd position thatthe
political revolution jnstconsummared was the
result offraud. In the Evening Post, of Sat-
urday, we find it frankly admitted that Gen.
Harrison has been “swept by a sudden turn
ofthe popular will into the seat of the Chief
Magistrate of this mighty and flourishing
empire." The Post is evidrntly of opinion
that the local prejudices against Henry Clay,
supposed to exist in certain quarters, would
have been utterly borne down by the irn pe-
tus of this “ sudden turn of the popular will.”
“ IL” says the Evening Post, “Mr. Clay’s
friends had been fortunate enough to secure
his nomination at Harrisburg a year ago,
/to would =i7zcz:itcz-bly /ta-cc been clccted Prcsi~
dent of tlle United States. He would have
obtaiued the vote of all the southern states
which now support Harrison.”
But this is not all. The Evening Post
will ltaxce it that the success of the opposition
did not depend upon the popularity of their
candidate, but upon the popularity of I/te
caztsc.
course is not likely to underrate the public
estimate of Mr. Van Burcn’s character, the
people would have placed a man they abso-
lutaly disliked, in the presidential of’fice,rath-
er than it should be reoccupied by “the north-
ern man with southern principles.’ Such
we conceive to be the fair and only legitimate
constructions of the subjoincd sentence from
the Evening Post, which we commend to
the respectful consideration of the l.\“'tisliirig-
ton Globe and Albany Argus:
“ The success ofthe l'l'l1ig‘ca17diclaIcltt1s been

ll1y.9te7'ious Knoc/.:i'ng.—The good people
ofRoxbury have been thrown into the great-

which has occurred in a house in Norfolk-
street, occupied by two snmlland respectable
families. It is said by the inmates of the
house and many others who have visited it,
that at about 4 o’clock P. M. a peculiar
kncckiiig commences on the doors of the
house, and is kept up for a considerable time.
This knocking was commenced several days
since, and has been repeated every day ata-
bout the same hour. As yet no clue to the
miysterious circumstance has been discover-
ed. Crowds of anxious visitors, fond ofthe
marvellous and supernatural. have visited
the house, and many have heard the knock-
ing, but no one can account for it.

The recent meeting of the stockholders did
the business very effectually. The new sub-
scription of $100,000 was completed, and the
impulse given to the work will soon carry
it to the State line. The whole northern di-
vision of the road is now under contract, and
we learn that a moiety of this division will
be graded by the fist of May next. The
remainder will be ready for the rails in au-
tumn, and unless unforeseen obstacles pre-
vent, the cars will pass over the whole rout.
by the close of the coming year. If the
Berkshire road be completed at that time, as
it undoubtedly may be, we shall then have
