The Journal de Constantinople has endeavoured , in a series of arncles , jo enc-oursffe the Turks in their anti-Christian pfr- ^ esutions .

Mohammedan subjects to his own liberality of sediment . The best proof of his success was tne interest which tbe state of Turkey suddeuly created in tbe public tnici in Europe , and the earnest , desire which was display . ; d by : he most enlightened governments to afford her proper protection and support . Iu a fow years public opinion , with regard to this country , was t-cnipiuiely changed . By a rash and imprudent act—sn act both uncalled " for and utaec-sary—th ^ preH-nt government has endangered the position Saltna Mahmosd had so earnestly

      endeavoured to assume . And this act is accompanied by other instances of p < rsEcuiion and fanaticism , ano has ^ served t : > awaken a spirit of intolerance wlJch will lead , unles ? speedily repressed , to even more serious results . Thof e , therefore , who would encourage the Turkish Government , by their approval , to persist in a eonree which must end in the destruction of this empire , are no true friends of Turkey , bnt are serving the caase of her most dangerous enemy . Letters from Mosul informs us that tho Kurds are in possession of the Tivaree country , and that the Patriarch is still in Moiul . The order for the liberation of the Jiestorjans sold into slavery , for the restoration of the Patriarch , and for the withdrawal of zbeKards , had not yet reached Mosul .

Everything was , it seems , prepared for a general Italian insurrection . The movement was to commence in Naples , where it was expected a portion of the urmy would lead or immediately enter into it . Upon the knowledge of that revolt , Lombardy , Piedmoat , aud the'Romagna would rise ; and an Italian-empire , the ruler over which would , be the Duke de Ltuchtenberg , son of ihe Viceroy ^ ijpltaly , Eugene Beauharnais-r-and , bear this in mind ; sonin-law of the Emperor Nicholas .

      Loss of the Steamer Sarah Barnes and Sixteen Lives . —On the J 4 th uit ., at ncou , she crossed tne Galveston bar for this port . On the next morning , the 25 th , a considerable leak was discoveiedin her hold . All the pumpa were set to work ; but they were able to keep her free for a short time only .

      Heartless Brutalitt . —On Saturday an Inquest was held on board the Thames East Indiaman , now lying in the East India Docks , on the body of a "Lascar seaman , named Mamarie , aged thirty-six , alleged to have died fiora want of medical assistance ,: The stench emitted from tbe cabin in which tbe body lay , and in which the Lascar slept during the voyage , was so great , that the jury were unable to remain in it more than a few seconds . The Thames was the property of Mr . Greek , of Bristol . On leaving Calcutta there were ninety-five Lascars on board , bat twenty-fire ba' 4 died from senrvy and dfssenfcery on the -voyage hpsaewartls . The surgeon on board left the ship along with the captain on her reaching Margate , without providing medical treatment for any of the crew who might be sick .

      The Lascars lived on fish , rice , and split peas , bat bad no meat The deceased had been ill about four days , and on Friday was found dead in bed . Several of the Jury severely animadverted on the treatment the Lascar seamen received , and the Coroner said it was tbe duty of the owners to provide medical assistance , and should death ensue in consequence of cot having it , they were guilty of manslaughter . The chief mate , in reply to the question , said there were twenty Lascars now ill oa board without medical attendance , and it was not unusual for a great , many Lascars to die during the voyage . They have ho hammocks to lie upon , but only rugs , which they find themselves . Mr . H . Bloomfield , sturgeon , said he had been on board the vessel , aad bad seen tbe body . He was of opinion that consumption was the cause of death .

      He had examined all the crew , buttheiewaa . no evxdenee of dysentery being prevalent on board . With the exception of about four , nearly the whole were suffering from scurvy , four or five of them so bad that he could remove their teeth with the greatest ease . Thia , he should say was caused by diet . The inquest was adjourned . At the adjourned inquest the following verdiet was returned— " That the deceased had died a natural do . ith . by the visitation of God ; but the jurors considered there was a great degree of inattention on the part of the managers of the ship , in not providing medical . attendance on the arrival of the ship at the East India Docks , and also a place distinct from the part of the ship occupied by the deceased and other Lascars , which was found to be in an unwholesome and filthy state .

The number of samples of home-grown Wheat fresh up from Essex ^ Kent , and Suffolk , being comparatively trifling , and the attendance of both London anA country millers good ; the demand for that article , particularly for selected qualities of both red and white ( which formed but a small portion of the supply ) waa steady , at prices fully equal to , but at nothing beyond those obtained on this day ae ' nnight , and at which nearly the whole waa disposed

      of . The few transactions in fine foreign Wheat were concluded- at late rates ; but that in bond was a mere drug , though not cheaper .
