A letter from Liverpool, Oct. 0, says;

• •The governor of the workhouse, who witnessed-the Irish (amine cricts, says be never saw cartloads of human misery which filled him with so much horror as those which conveyed the sick emigrants to the workhouse on Tuesday. Several died on .Wednesday, and five, more expired between S o.clpck this morning and the time our correspondent made rnqui : lies at the house f3. 35 P. M. } There were then 38 sick emigrants it; the hospital, many of whom are, no doubt dead b»* lore this will meet the public eye. The poor creatures were topd in their complaints of the insufficiency and unwholesoraeness of the provisions on board, some of them asserting that several of their relatives and friends had died from positive'hunger and thirst; while they described ibn conduct of the officers jnd crew as having been brutal in the extreme. The cook, fa bljj|£N(Jhey said, had charged them it the rate*of 9d fr quart fur hot water, while for the first U days they only received 6 days’ provisions. One especial cause of grievance was, that at the end'of the first week at sea the division between the men and women's berths was broken down, and that there whs nothing to secute a separation of the sexes. There are still a Tew cases of cholera in the workhouse from the American emigrant ship Silas Greenman; but the disease among them had Seen partially overcome.'aod no-danger is apprehended in their case. There have been several deaths from choleha in the town since Monday..

Fate of a Turrish Favorite.— Some lime since the Egyptian frigate Sharkie was taken to England to'be fitted op with engines, $*c. Hnfuz Bey bad command of her. The work on her was delayed for a long period, and when she did return to Alexandria, Hafux was ordered to be punished for thejdelay by being sent la the White Nile—i. e., to banishment—which was speedily followed by his murder, as customary in such cases. The banish* ment was most unjust,* for neither the Egyptians nor the Engineers who. fitted the engines were able to dispatch the work in the time required, owing to the great pressure of engineering work in England at the time the ship was there. ■

Turkey maintained a hard contest with Russia twenty.five years ago; and she will maintain a far harder o 1 *? now. Then she had a revenue of twenty".millions of dollars.—an army of but thirty-two thou* sand men, unorganized and without tried generals—no fleet, for her fleet had been destroyed at Navarinn, all her great Christian population in a state of insubordination on account of the'recent war with Greece,—Egypt. her enemy, and Syria and under the control of Mehemet Ali. Now she has twice, the an hrmy six times as large, thoroughly equipped, well disciplined, ably officered —a powerful, fleet—almost the entire Christian population enthusiastically jn her favor—all the Mahometan races of Northern Africa and Western Asia making common cause with her. Russia is hardly more powerful now than then.' Her fleet has not materially increased. .She then had a hundred thousand Poles, and thirty Ihonsaotl Circassians in her army; now every Pole in her array, and sixty thousand, men are required to keep these Circassians in check. If she had no wealth then, she has but little now, and but limited credit. A spirit of desertion pervades the Russian troops in the Principalities, so that there has already been a necessity of withdrawing the reg ular cavalry two marches from, the Danube, and replacing (hem with Cossacks. The cholera is making 'havoc at the Southern army, and as far as relates to commissariat and hospital accommodations, Russia is now in much (he same condition as in the last war, when she lost 150.000 men snd 50,000 horses by disease and hunger atone. Resides all this the Russian forces on the ground, are absolutely [inferior in numbers to the Turkish, and me season is too far advanced to allow' material reinforcement.

Destructive Fire*

Insanity Produced bv Quinine.— The same print has the following startling par* agraph concerning (he effects of quinine in treating for .yellow fever, and remarks the fact, that no people are usually less liable to insanity than the Irish, yet now scarcely a day passes that some Irishman is not sent to the Insane Assylum. We quote the res-; •‘Physicians who are opposed to the use of quinine in yellow fever cases, give it as their opinion that this new developsmcot of a tendency to insanity is the result of a loo general use of that subtle and deadly medecine. Public opinion attributes not a few of the many yellow fever deaths which have of late so terribly swelled our mortality annals, to the unwise use of quinine; and tf, to the suppo* sed death-dealing qualities of quinine, be added the production, of deafness and blindness, and swollen limbs, and insanity how great, must be the responsibility of those who have so freely, in fifty-grain doses administered it.
