A letter from Beyroot, published in a New York journal, Bays that at criminal trials in Turkey, they have no counsel 'ii either side, no long speeches, no legal technicalities. When the prisoner gives an im probable explanation of the matter; laid to his charge, the President of the Court rates him sound ly, and interrupts him with the exclamation of 'Bosh." It is said there is a strong indisposition in Tur , . t h currits of any kind, the swearing en j iU(r)1, that ' the of tu C(mrt c,,nclude that Allah only can tell who is uttering the truth. Even if guilt be evident, the effect of a severe punishment upon the friends of the prisoner in taken into considera tion, and if he be rich, they let bim off easily. If poor, he is punished with sufficient severely to make up for his crime and that of the last rich criminal who has escaped his deserts. It is thus clear that Tin key is fast rising to our own standard of civilization.

Famine at the Azores. The people of tlu Azore Isliinds, particularly the inhabitants of Fuyal and Funchal, are reported to be again in the most deplorable condition. Mr Wiu. Roole writes to the Journal of Commerce: "Tamine is stalking through their streets, and throughout the Island; and unless speedy assistance is rendered thein, it is feared large numbers must perish. 'Our excellent Consul, air. Dabncjj has done and is doing all in bis power to alleviate the suffer ings in Fayal, and distribute 1U0 bushels of corn, beside money every week, from his own private resources, but this reaches but a small number of the suffering. About six weeks since a vessel, grain laden, passed close into FunehaJ, but as it was blowing a gale at the time it was impossible to board her from small boats. The inhabitants kindled fires on the headlands and did everything in their power to attract the attention of those on board and induce them to run into port; but as the captain of course, was not aware oi the wretched condition of the people, and the navigation into the harbor was dangerous, he passed the island without stopping.

At the starting of the expedition for I 'tah, with the eer- tainty that unless the .Mormons caved in, the Til ited iStatcs troops would force them out oi the Jerritory, in kind consideration for the well-being of the un offending, many propositions were held put for Brighatu's considerations such as migration to Soiiora, Vancouver and Mexico. One of the Kldcrs taking the hint, hastened to Mexico, and finding the land everything that is desirable, with a sparce population, free from prejudices against poligamy, sends on a warm invitation to the "fath ers of the church to turn their attention south.
