Show Tle - Corimie Cattle Stealing Case. Theodorus, of Abyssinia, has been considered the most cruel and bloodthirsty ruler of moibrn times, tut he has a rival sovereign who lives nearer the confines of civilization, and whose atrocious conduct should arouse the inclination of humane people throughout; the world. That sovereign is the present lcy of Tunis, whose whole career since he became ruler of his country, has been marked by arbitrary oppression and cruelty. A fow of the itged Sheiks of liis country, who had known his character before he succeeded his father a mild aud amiable prince urged his mother to let her younger son ascend the throne of Tunis. The heard of this, and with the help of a few of his boon companions he seized thc reins of Government. No sooner was he in power than he vented his spite upon the d men. Not only were niue of his victims bastinadoed in the most merciless manner, but the eyes and tongues of them were torn out, and they were thrown, in this terrible aud utterly helpless condition, in the midJleof July, into a desert spot, where they perished miserably, a prey to the pitiless rays of a scorch- African sun, and to the cquallv in ucss beaks oi vultures and buz zards. From that time the reign of the Bey of Tunis litis been marked by deeds of cruelty, which, if they have not become generally known, because perpetrated upon persons of humbler condition iu life than the illustrious victims mentioned above, have been none the less heinous. The Bey of Tunis is the Supreme Judge in his country. He tries criminals, aud orders their immediate execution, after hearing the case ; or h annuls the decrees of the Kadis if they do not suit him, and punishes the unfortunate ' prisoners accordion to his pleasure. On the 5th of November last the Bey was in a more towering passion than ever before. lie is an extravagant liver, and spends more money than the taxes of Tunis yield to him. During the second empire he negotiated a heavy loan in France, and some greedy Italian bankers have likewise advanced him largo sums at exorbitant interest. Being afraid of France, the Bey of Tunis pays his creditors in that country punctually, but he has little respect for Italy, and last summer several Italian had to threaten his Capital with bombardment before he made arrangements fur paying the interest due to Italian bankers. Being thus a constant prey to financial embarrassments, ho does not lika to be swindled by his tax collectors Now, 5th of Noon the he received vember, trustworthy information that three of them, and had for years committed defalcations upon the Bey,s treasury, and accounted for only Trrni a private letter to a gentlemen of 'nis city, from a friend in llrighnm City. .Ian.

At the close of iU j speecu'the Major took his seat, surrounded by ti silence so intense as to be significant. jo iverfully After this there was a tirade of abuse aud liillingsgate from Mr. Toohy, with whose rabid style our readers are probacy somewhat familiar, he having given veral specimens of his peculiar way of himself at certain public guth- t ibis in city.
