The object of this Company is to establish a system of elec trical communication, based on the principle of the penny postage, to convey messages throughout the United Kingdom at a low and uniform rate—a shilling for a short message, or some equivalent charge, irrespective of distance. To effect this the Company have adopted Mr. Allan's stems in Electro-Telegraphy, by the adaptation of which 7 here will be an estimated econonlly of from 30 to 40 per cent. in first cost and working expenses. A special Act of Parliament has been obtained empowering the Company to establish telegraphic communication through out the United Ki ng d o m, and clothing the Company with all other wilykki nlsory p o wers necessary in carrying out the ttn der to To bring telegraphic communication within the reach of the million, is to create a traffic of a progressive character almilar to the universal penny of our postal system. The universal system of a franc for a short message, which has been for some time adopted in and throughout Switzer land, is found to be a valuable boon, and in all respects a great success. In America, where the tariff of charges is very low, the lines pay high dividends, and, as a consequence, tele graphic stock is in great favour. It is proposed by this Company to place London in direct circuit correspondence with the more important seats of com merce and trade throughout the country. These will form the trunk or through lines of communication, such as London direct with Birmingham, Manchester, Liverpool, and afterwards with Edinburgh, Glasgow, Newcastle, Hull, York, Leeds, Belfast, Dublin, Cork, Bristol, Plymouth, Portsmouth, Southampton, Brighton, Carlisle, Cheltenham, &e. (C. These will form the sub-centres of direct wire circuit With the various towns in their more immediate localities. The capital now to be subscribed, to form the first section of the undertaking—for further operations which it may be found desirable to carry out, the shares will be offered to existing subscribers. Prospectuses, forms of applications for shares, and all necessary information may be obtained at the Share Brokers, and of the Secretary, at the Temporary Offices of the Com pany.

Slough has always been considered one of she most healthy spots in the kingdom. The promenades include Eton Col lege, Windsor Castle, Virginia-water, Taplow, Stoke-park and church, the Burnham Beeches, and many other places of equal beauty and celebrity. Fishing, shooting, and hunting are all within reach, and it is proposed, in compliance with the wishes of several gentlemen who hunt with the Royal stag hounds, the Prince Consort's harriers, and other packs, to set anart a portion of the hotel for their exclusive use, with a view to the formation of a hunt club. The Directors have purchased, on favourable terms, the Well-known Royal Hotel at Slough, and propose, by judicious alterations and additions, to make great improvements in the sleeping accommodation. The public and private dining rooms are excellent, and require but few alterations to afford ample space for several hundred visitors, whilst an almost unlimited number may be accommodated under marquees and tents'on the extensive lawns on such occasions as the Ascot and Egham races, the Windsor and Slough steeplechases, the Xton and other regattas, wedding parties, &c. In addition to the usual accommodation, there will be sepa rate rooms for billiards, reading, and smoking, while the beautiful and extensive grounds afrord ample space for out door exercise and amusements. It is intended, by paying particular attention to the culinary department, to attract many of the pumerous dinner parties which it is now the summer season fashion to hold in the vicinity of London, and which have mad e cer t a i n h otels possessing fewer advantages than the one at Slough very lucrative investments for capital. The Hotel, notwithstanding the proposed additions and alterations, will, it is expected, be ready for the reception of visitors in the autumn, before the hunting season commences ; and thus afford to the shareholders an early as well as a pro fitable return for the capital invested. The Hotel is close to the station, and, by express, within 25 minutes of London ; and, as the terminus is shortly to be extended to the city, the Great Western will be as accessible as any other railway to all parts of the metropolis. The Directors have also secured the extensive and very superior stabling formerly attached to the hotel, but now temporarily occupied by Thomas Young, including the tap. two cottages, and large kitchen garden. The tap is in full business, and, from the number of horses kept at Slough during , the hunting season, great profits must necessarily be derived from this department, which will be placed under the superintendence of a competent person, and no expense spared to secure the health and comfort of the horses. The property is freehold, and exempt from tithe and land tax, except a portion of the stabling, which is on lease, for an unexpired term of 298 years, at a peppercorn rent. Application for shares mu.ft be forwarded, post paid, to the solicitors, brokers, or the offices of the Company, 3, Hanover square ; at either of which places prospectuses may be ob tained.

TILE MASSACRES IN SYRIA eer from nwd n ainFoLarocti of se r azr • c i z adi n hta c t t C :hs o fee t r n ao4 t un it h . s I thel:2Jesuit oeisoi uh publishes iettom 1i populations as,oi missionary a i rri in oi letter nf l st ‘ number, all Christians, twice repelled an attack of the Druses; but on a third attempt the latter had recourse to a stratagem, which succeeded. Know ing that the Christians expected reinforcements, they prepared banners bearing the Cross, and placed them at the head of a band of 2,000 men, who, in dis guise, marched towards Zahle, singing the patriotic songs of the Christians. The inhabitants of the town, deceived by the trick, advanced to meet them, but the Druses received them with a volley of musketry, after which, rushing on with drawn swords, they slaughtered many and put the rest to flight. Some days previously to this the women and children retired into the mountains, so that the massacre was not so great as it had been in other towns. But it was most afflicting to all of us, and especially to me, for I lost Father Billotet, who belongs to the Franc-Comtois, as I do. Three of our holy brethren were murdered near him, as were also a great many other persons who had sought refuge in our house, thinking that they would find a safe asylum under the flag of France. Twenty-one nuns are stated to have been dishonoured by the Turkish soldiers and the Druses in a house in which they had assembled. I cannot, how ever, positively guarantee this fact, as I ,do the others. Two of the nuns were killed. But what caused the greate 4 terror to the inhabitants of Zahle, and compelled - them to take flight was, that the Turkish soldiers fired cannon against the town and reduced it to ruins. Rachaia and Jedaidi, tawns lathe Anti-Lebanon, have undergone the same fate in consequence of the treason and bad faith of the governors. A great number of the Christians, after the destruction of the towns and villages in which they resided, sought shelter in the caverns and woods of the mountains ; but the Druses, to prevent any from escaping, hunted them out with large dogs. Having found about 100 in ono spot, they tied their hands behind their backs, and then proceded to put them to death in a most cruel man ner, first cutting off arms or hands, or tearing of pieces of flesh. or pulling out their eyes. Some they even burnt alive. Beyrout, notwithstanding the presence of the Consuls-General and of more than 20 vessels of war in the port, is neitber safe nor tranquil. The Turks there have been on the point of rising, and on the slightest alarm the Christians would be massacred. This the latter know, and accordingly a great many of them have left for Alexandria or Marseilles. At Saida the same fears are justly entertained, and the prin cipal families have departed. In this town everything was prepared for massacre and pillage, and the very day and night were desig nated. The Turkish Governor and Mufti wore on the point of giving the signal when the French Admiral at Beyrout, having been informed of the dangers which menaced us, sent in great haste one of the vessels under his orders. The commander of the vessel on arriving went to the Governor, to ask if he would answer for the security of the town. I cannot do so for an hour,' was the reply which he received. The officer then disembarked on a little island about 100 of his men, and returned to Beyrout in his vessel to give the Admiral an ac count of his mission. The Admiral immediately came here with two vessels of war, two English vessels accompanying him. The arrival of these forces intimidated the Druses and the Turks, and they made no attempt against the Christians. The Pasha of Beyrout has also arrived, but he has decorated the chief of the Druses apparently as a recompense for having allowed more than 2,000 Christians to be massacred, and more than 80 villages to be burnt. The French Admiral having obtained from the civil and military authorities a promise to protect the city, has returned to Beyrout, leaving us, how ever, one of his vessels to keep the Turks and Druses in check. Nevertheless, fears are increasing, and danger appears to become each day more me nacing. If France does not hasten to our help we shall fare the same fate as the other sacked towns. The Druses announce that the number of Christians they have massacred in the mountains of Lebanon is 22,000, but the Christians do not believe that it exceeds 15,000." IREL AND. DUBLIN, WEDNESDAY MORNING. THE LATE APFR kY AT LURGAN. The special reporter of the Freeman's Journal writes as follows, under date of Lurgan, Tues day : "The excitement consequent on this barbarous outrage has been only partially allayed. The tire wounded men still continue in great danger, espe cially Murphy, but hopes are entertained by Dr. Hannay that M'Cann will live. The others aro considered out of danger. The whole county of Armagh is now proclaimed, notices to that effect 1 having been posted up by the police on Sunday morning at the churches and chapels here and in the Moyntaghs. The station of the constabulary now at Derryadd consists of one constable, one act ing-constable, and 10 sub-constables, and that at Derrymacash, where the murderous fusillade took place, of one constable and eight sub-constables; both these bodies of policemen are patrolling con stantly night and day. The following parties who had been sworn against during the investigation last week into the affray at Derrymacash, but had not been hitherto in custody, then came forward and gave in bail, to take their trial at the next assizes, in the same amount as the others—viz., Richard Murphy, Joseph Haddock, Alex. Murphy, sen., Wm. Abraham, Stevenson Turkington, Samuel Ruddell,Edward Murray,Wm. Castles, wad Samuel M'Caulay. There are now 27 in all to take their trial for this murderous outrage, and it is under ' stood that a number of informations will be sworn this week against other parties concerned on the Orange side. It is rumoured that a special commis sion will be held before the assizes to try the pri soners and rioters. The following malignant placard I copied from the board in front of the Court-house. It shows the animus of the Orange party, and is evidently got up by them : " Wanted, two impartial magistrates for the Lurgan bench in place of the present imbeciles, and a head constable of constabulary for Lurgan. Also, a parish priest for Derrymacash, and an Orange Grand Master for the proclaimed county of Ar magh.'" STAMPFD. 5D produce some disturbance, but the latest ac counts represent all as being quiet. We believe it is the determination of the directors not to take back the ringleaders in this turn•out on any terms. As usual in such cases, tho innocent are punished with the guilty ; but it seems impossible to discri minate. The effect of the turn-out must soon• be very painfully felt by those who are idle. The loss of wages and consequent loss of food fall on the poorer portion of those employed and on their families, and we greatly regret this most unfortunate occurrence, as it brings misery and distress on so many homes, and prevents the pursuit of that employment from which they de rived their comforts. We should be glad if the magistrates and.clergy of the district would endea vour to induce the misguided workpeople to con sent to go to work ; and we doubt not that the directors, whose patriotism and kindly feeling are undoubted, would rescind the order for the suspen sion of the works, and allow the labourers and others to resume their employment."

SEIZURE OF THE AMOOR BY Russic—The Go vernor-General of Oriental Siberia determined to explore the Amoor, and in 1854 a great expedition wa s or g anised by him far that object. It was on such a scale that the Chinese could neither check his progress nor pre vent him taking possession of the north bank of the river. In less than six weeks the whole of this vast region, including the country between the Amoor and the Russian frontier to the north of the Yablonoi, had changed masters ; it had now fallen into strong hands, and before the end of the year the entire Chinese army could not have dislodged the small body of Cossacks placed in position. General Mouravieff had seized on all the points which his keen eye and practical experience told him were necessary for the security of the new acquisition. Russia has now got possession of the great water-course, and the only one through which access from the sea to the vast plains and mountain districts of Central Asia can be obtained ; the Lena, the Yenissey, and the Ob be i ng sealed in the Arctic Ocean.—From Atkinson's Travels its the Amoor. YACHTING SIGNALS.—"I am directed by the Port-Admiral to ask if you are in distress." "I think, sir," said Philip, "you are the bearer of a very extraordi nary question, especially as I have not the honour of the Port •Admiral's personal acquaintance ; but if it would be any satisfaction to him to know that both my friend and I are in easy circumstances, I beg you will say so." "You misunderstand me, sir," rejoined our questioner, rather sternly, and standing up in his barge. "If you are neither in difficulty, nor an intimate personal friend of Sir Thomas Tnrnpipes, what explanation have you to offer of the extra ordinary communications you have been making to him, and which may probably at this moment be in course of transmission to the Admiralty ? During this last half hour, give you my honour, No sooner do you arrive off Rd ' e Al , sir, you have been addressing remarks to the Port-Admiral which none but a lunatic---" " Port-Admiral !

" I have heard you to the end, sir," said Philip, who, though greatly astonished, had recovered his usual self-possession, " and all I have to say in reply is, that I never entertained the remotest intention of signal ling the Port-Admiral. My communications were ad dressed to—to a totally different authority." And Philip glanced anxiously in the direction of Dabchick Villa, which had just thrown out a new signal.—Dickens's 44 44 th e Year Bouni," HARVEST PROSPECTS. Matters have ;Cl;gone a change for the better this week, and the agricultural mind is accordingly more at rest. Although we are not yet done with the rain,the falls have been much less frequent since Saturday, and an occasionally bright sun and a brisk north-westerly gale have done a world of good in raising the crops prostrated by the late continuous wet weather. The change happily appears to be general, as this morning's reports are all of a favour able tendency. The Banner of Ulster says : "The weather is not such as to whiten the fields unto harvest' with any extraordinary rapidity; yet the crops are making as good progress as could be looked for. The grain produce cannot as yet be safely predicted; but the late period at which it will come into the market has set speculation on foot among importers, although there is a large amount of various kinds of corn in store in town. The green crops promise well. New potatoes are coming into general use, and the quality is much better than the moistness of the season since they were planted would have led any person to hope for. They are selling, too, at a fair price, everything considered; and at the test time of a good potato harvest—the 12th of August —may have come down to the average of 6d. per stone." THE STRIKE AT BONMAHON. The Waterford Mail of yesterday gives the an nexed particulars of the continued strike of miners at Bonmahon. By this foolish step upwards of 1,100 people have thrown themselves out of remu nerative and permanent employment. The com• pany, it is said, expend something like £50,000 a y ear in wages to their workmen : " A detachment of the 68th Regiment, consisting of five officers and 80 men, has been sent from Fer moy to Dungarvan, to be in readiness in case their services are required. The committee of the direc tors which came down to investigate the cause of the turn-out ascertained that a portion of the men were willing to go to work, and they were disposed, from humane motives, to allow them to do 80 ; but it appeared that the other men would not permit them to do so, and the committee communicated to the managers at Bonmahon their decision, that the working of the mines was indefinitely suspended. This information was sent by a mounted policeman on Friday, and he had orders to strengthen the guards at the several posts, as it was apprehended that the announcement of this decision would pro duce riot, and an additional body of police was therefore forwarded to Bonmahon. The work people continued quiet, and the presence of the police has effectually :checked any breach of the peace. It was apprehended that the loss of wages on Saturday, and consequent want of food, would TILE NA Ti'. A new 4-gun screw steamer is ordered to be laid down on No. 6 slip at Chatham dockyard.

The 3d West Riding of Y( Rifle Volunteers, who passed with great credit on Saturday last, are about to commence shooting practice forthwith, having, under the active and able superintendence of the adjutant, Capt. Lepper, become proficient in their position drill. The two battalions of the Edinburgh Rifle Volunteers were inspected in Holyrood Park, by Colonel M'Murdo, the second on Saturday and the first on Monday evening. On both occasions the battalion was put through a variety of field move ments, including skirmishing on the adjoining heights. In both cases, the colonel expressed great satisfaction with what he had witnessed. In ad dressing the commanding officer of the first battalion on Monday, he said had been per formed great si :Amity. After some rer as tr of equalising com panies. __ad( said, "Your advan cing and retiring 7as, in "nc wohl, admir able. In the army t :nt is -nnsidered one of the most difficult, _t _ expe , lence of volunteers is that they do it better than v - thing else ;in fact, they always do it well. Your skirmishing is correct in principle, and when you have learnt the princi ples of skirmishing, in connection with the use of the firelock, your colonel will take you over those hills, where you will learn the advantage of cover. Skirmishing must be your forte,and you are learning it according to correct principles." The 7th of August, the day of the review of the Scotch Volunteers by the Queen, will be observed as a holiday at Edinburgh, and also by various other towns, in order to allow the Volunteers to be pre sent. Many of the public buildings in Edinburgh will be made available for the muster and accom modation of the Volunteers. The railways are offer ing facilities and advantages to the Volunteers from all parts, but it is almost impossible yet to tell the number likely to take part in the review, and the movements to be executed must depend on the num ber on this ground. A silver bugle will be presented to the Colchester Volunteers on the 9th of the ensuing month, by Lady de Crespigny. The presentation will be made in Alresford-park, kindly placed at the disposal of the Volunteers by Mr. W. W. Hawkins. In addition to the cup which will be given in September by the Sheriff of Norfolk to the best shot among the Volunteers of that county, Mr. J. Mid dleton, of Haynford, has offered the handsome sum of £5O for division among the second, third, and fourth shots.

After the presentation a party of about 200 sat down to an excellent dinner, provided by the kindness of the captain. The corps now musters 85 effective members. A grand review of Volunteers of Gloucestershire, Worcestershire, Herefordshire, and South Wales, is to take place in the neighbourhood of Gloucester shire on the 18th of September.

In the week that ended last Saturday the num ber of deaths registered in London was 975. For the corresponding - weeks of the ten years 1850-59, the average number of deaths is found, with cor rection for increase of population, to be 1156. The result of the comparison is satisfactory ; for the actual number of deaths in last week was less by 181 than the estimated number. The deaths from small-pox were not more than 11. There ►ere 51 from measles ; 4 of which oc curred in the Belgrave subdistrict, 3 in St. Mary (St. George-in-the-East), 4 in the Leather-market, Bermondsey, and,3 in:the East subdistrict of Green: wick. There were 32 from scarlatina ;4 of which occurred in Poplar. Diarrhoea exhibits a slight in crease, for it was fatal in the two previous weeks in 12 and 21 cases respectively, last week in 32. There were also 2 deaths from cholera, viz., that of a wo man aged 22 years, on the 16th inst., at 42, Wel lington place, Mile-end Old-town ; and that of a woman aged 55 years, on the same day, at 22, Tot tenham-place, Tottenham-court-real, from cholera (15 hours) convulsions. A boy aged 3 years died from burns received by lucifer matches. A captain, R.N., aged 58 years, died from " coup de soleil (8 years), hemiplegia (1 year), hypertrophy of the heart."

Last week the births of 809 boys and 827 girls, in all 1636 children, were registered in London. In the ten corresponding weeks of the years 1850- 59 the average number was 1530. METROPOLITAN WATERS, JUNE 1860. The waters used for domestic supply in London, as analysed by Dr. Robert Pandas Thomson, F.R.S., exhibit in the month of June a sensible increase in the amount of organic matter washed down from the agricultural districts by the con tinuous rains. Theircomposition affords a striking contrast with that of water derived from mountain ridges, as at Glasgow and Manchester, where the organic matter has rather a tendency to diminish during rain. The rain has favourably influenced the sanitary condition of th© river, by preventing the usual stagnation of the sewage within the city at this season of the year.
