The works selected, with the approval of Government, for first operations, consist of—lrrig a ti n g and Navigable canals throughout the rich and exten s i ve Peltas of Orissa Can Lower Bengal), and the Districts between those Deltas NW the Port and City of Calcutta. These works have been already investigated by Engineer °fficers in the service of Government, of known ability and exPerience, who have pronounced them to be amongst the seed important, and in promise the most profitable of their character in India ; in fact, the present Secretary of '',.,tats for India in Council in M arch last addressed to the Government of India an official communication, calling attention to the importance of constructing these very Works, and stating that her Majesty's Government were prepared to carry them into effect as soon as the plans and estimates were approved by the Local Government. A desir e to see an unguaranteed company established, he states, led to their concession to this company. The main sources of profit will be : Firstly,—The sale of water to the Government for the Irrigation of land. Secondly.—Tolls levied in respect of the use of the Canals and Water-ways by the public. To these may be added as available but subsidiary means sf additional returns :- I.—The working of the Canals by the Company by the Conveyance of Passengers, Animals, and Goods thereon. 2.—Rent and other income derived from mills and factories established on the banks of the various channels. S.—Cultivation and sale of timber and other produce raised upon the land of the Company. And, 4.—The supply of water for general purposes. Although these latter are now put forth as secondary 'WY, they should by no means be lost sight of—the first of them has been already ascertained to be highly productive is India, and by the official accounts of the existing Canals fa the North-western provinces of Bengal the profits derived from mills, timber, and bank produce, represent a large per tentage upon outlay. , The following returns realised by the Government on ex g works of Irrigation in India will afford some idea of the highly remunerative character of such works, if selected With ordinary judgment. The works connected with the Coleroon River cost 44 4 700, and for sixteen years retu rned a net profit of cost 41,700, cent. per annum. The Fordwak Canal cost £2,700, and paid £5,000 in the Brat year. Another canal in Scinde paid 58 per cent. on its test during the first year, and a third, which cost £3,600, Produced £5,000 in the first year. The Western Jumna Canal has paid £5 per cent., and Produced a clear surplus of £1,000,000, the eost of construc tion being £81,458. The works in Maiwara produced a return of 265 per cent. Per annum. These are not exceptional instances. Terms of a very favourable character have been arranged with the Secretary of State as the basis of a final Agree ment, to be made with the Government of India at Calcutta. It is proposed to limit the issue of capital in the first in stance, to the sum of £1.000,000, divided into 50,000 shares of £2O each, and to take a first deposit ofshare only, with a further payme nt of £1 per share w per s hen usal agreement has been concluded ; this will, it is believed, office to support effective operations for the first twelve Inouths. Of all subsequent calls, full and timely notice VII be given to each shareholder. A full Prospectus and form of a pplications for shares may WOW be had upon request at the Company's Offices, 27, Can 60ra-street, E.C. London ; or at the Company's Bankers, keasrs.

This Company is registered under the Joint Stock Com panies' Act, for the purchase ani working of the property, in the county of Caermarthen, known as the Lion Colliery, em bracing an area of about 420 acres, the whole held under a lease for forty years from 1850, at the moderate royalties of 9d. and 6d. per ton respectively for Coal, 10d. per ton for Iron, and 6d. per ton for Fire Clay. The quality of the coal is sufficiently established by the reports and analysis of Mr. Petherick, Mr. Bateman, Dr. Normandy, and Mr. Dugald Campbell, which prove it to be first-elsss. The statements of these gentlemen are equal, satisfactory and conclusive as to the quantity ; the produce of saleable large coal being estimated at 3,704 tons . per acre. Messrs. Woodhouse and Jeflcock, of Dgby, have inspected the property on the part of the Directors, and made a special repOrt. - The present yield of Coal is about 80 tons per diem, at a Cost, free on board at Llanelly, of 65.: while the market price 1 8 95. 6d. per ton, leaving thus a profit in the actual working fears. 6d. per ton, besides about 10 tons of Iron Ore, worth 10s. per ton. Calculating a production of 300 tons Per diem, with 30 tons of Iron, the present price would afford a clear profit, after all possible contingencies, of 25 per cent. on the paid-up capital of £25,000. It is undoubted that the recent Commercial Treaty with France must create a greatly increased demand for Coal and Iron, while it will materially inhance the value of first-class steam coal, like that in this Company's property. The Iron Ore will produce about 2,116,800 tons. The pro perty is situate in the Vale of Cwm Amman, about 15 miles from the Port of Llanelly, and is provided with floating docks, capable of accommodating vessels of 1,000 tons burden. In the event of the Company not being duly constituted, the deposit will be returned without any deduetion. Applications for Shares may be made to the Bankers or Brokers, with a deposit of ss. on each Share applied fcatioor. for Prospectuses, with Reports and Forms of Application Shares, may be obtained at the offices of the Company or from the Brokers. 3.

"Although many and various accounts have no doubt appeared in the public press of the horrors which have been committed within the last two months in Syria, and I have sent you, from the beginning, constant reports of the pro gress of the war,' yet it will no doubt be interesting to you, and to English people in general, to have a connected sketch of the whole of this sad affair, from the commencement of hostilities up to the present moment. Having been in the country during the whole of the war, and having seen per haps, more of its horrors than any other European, and, moreover, having had no other employment than that of seeking after accurate information with regard to affairs, I may feel some confidence in the accuracy of the account I send you; and harrassing and painful as the details will appear, nevertheless they are but too true. " It is to be remembered that in the summer of last year a skirmish took place at the village of Beit Mizi, two hours and a-half from Beyrout, one Sunday afternoon. Several persons were killed on both sides, but happily the affair had no further consequences at that time. However, the bad feeling which had subsisted previously to that time between the Maronites and the Druses was in nowise improved by two parties of them having fought it out ; and although a perfect reconciliation was proclaimed, yet it was generally feared that in the present year, 1860, hostilities would be renewed, unless the Government took measures to prevent bloodshed. " The Druses were the first aggressors for early in May a monk was found mut dered in a convent, half-way between Beyrout and Deir-el-Kararear ; and although the actual murderers were never identified, there was not the slightest doubt that they were DIUSC4, for no Christian would ever dare to touch a priest. The Christians then retaliated, and killed the first Druse they found. Then two Christians were killed by the Druses by the Damoer river, between this and Sidon, and their relatives in return killed two Druses, according to the law of blood-feud among all those nations. "At this time, had the Government used the slightest exertions, they might have prevented this feud then spread ing.. I was with Said Bek Jumbled, the great chief of the Druses at Moktarah, not far from Bleddin, the old palace of the Emir Beshir, when things bad arrived at this stage, and I urged him to do all in his power to stop further blood shed. " On the 28th of May the war broke out in all its fury. In the evening of that day 32 villages were seen burning from Beyrout, and some of the most flourishing places in Lebanon on the morning of the 29th were uninhabited and in Luba& The Druses even advanced to within 40 minutes' march of Beyrout, and, in the face of the Pasha and all his camp (for he had pretended to go out with his army in order to stop the war), burnt, and plundered, and slaughtered peo ple in the rich village of Hadad, the residence of a house of the Emirs. In this instance it is said (and there is every reason to believe the report to be true) that the Turkish soldiers fired upon the flying Christians. " On the 29th of May also Hasbeya, a large town under Mount Hermon, was first attacked by the Drusos; a Mos lem Emir of the family of the Shehab lived there, who had for a long time been a great annoyance to the Pashas of Damascus, his authority being very great there. Last year Ahmed Pasha, Governor of Damascus, sent a detachment of troops to occupy the towns under Hermon, and he had lately sent a strong reinforcement under the command of 0 thman Bek, whose name will ever be mentioned with abhorrence by Christians. This man, on the day of the attack on Has beya, told the Christians that he had been sent to protect them from the Druses, but that they must lay down their arms, otherwise they would incur the displeasure of the Government. They accordingly obeyed, believing that he would keep his word. For `greater security' he invited them all into the Serai Palace,used as a barrack, and the men with the women and children crowded into this build ing. The arms they had delivered up were then put on the backs of mules, and sent off with an escort professedly to Damascus, but with BO small a one that it would be mockery to call it an escort. Before the mules were well out of the valley of Hasbeya, tke Druses (as had been intended) fell upon them, the soldiers made no resistance, and all the arms fell into the hands of the Druses. "The Christians meanwhile, penned up in the Serai, with hardly any food and water, were now in a state of great suffering. "On the sth of June they began to feel great alarm, for they saw the harem of the Governor preparing to depart. To the questions of the Christians as to the cause of this movement only evasive answers were given. "On the 6th many of the soldiers were seen leaving.; then the unfortunate people, when it was too late, saw clearly how treacherously , they had been deceived. They rushed into the outer court and entreatedto be let out. The signal was then given, the g ates thrown open, and in rushed the Druses, armed with any weapon they could seize, and then commenced an indiscriminate slau ghter of all the males. Some, indeed, made their way through the door to the outer gate, only to be seized by the Turkish soldiery; nor were these passive only in the transaction. Many Christians whom I b ave examined have sworn to me that they saw the soldiers themselves taking Pert in the slaugh ter,c and the subsequent beh aviour of these brutal troops o the women was savage in the extreme. Prom the wounds I have seen, both on the living and the de ad, it .would ap pear that they went to wor k with the most systematic cruelty ; 10, 12, and 14 deep cuts on the b o d y of one person is not unfrequentS so me of the wounds show that they were made with blunt instruments. In short, everything was use d which came to hand , and, according to the nature of the weapon, hands and limbs were cut off, es brains dashed out, or bodies mangled. " Of all the men in the Serai some 40 or 50 only escaped ; many of these had been severely wounded and left for dead, w hile some few hid themselves among the dead bodies and made their escape by night. Some of these reached Beyrout, their clothes literally saturated with blood from the bodies under which they had lain. " Women the Druses did not slaughter/ nor, for the most part, I believe, illuse ' • that was left for T lrks and Moslems to do, and they did it. " Littleboys of four and five years old were not safe ; these would be seized from the mother and dusted on the ground, or torn to pieces before her face ; or, sL if I, er grasp was too tight, they would kill it o n her la p ; a nd, in some cases, to save further trouble, mother and child were cut down toge ther. Many women have assured me that the Turkish sol diers have taken their children one leg in each hand and torn them in two. " So when the sun set on the 6th of Jsne scarcely a male was left• of the large and prosperous population under Her- mon ; for on that same day, and nearly under similar cir cumstances, the Christians of Hasbeya Were massacred. " In the whole was there has been, pers aps, exception to the barbarity which has n but oiie bright s "laded these whole sale murders. " The sister of the great Druse chief,b ere') the massacre began, advised the Christians not to go to the Serai. She most probably knew what awaited the re, and offered to shel ter any who came into her house. Unfortunately number mistrusted her, but 400 creatures the greater crowded into her house, and when the murderers, panting s o de mended of her to give up the dogs of r more blood , Christians, she said, ' Enter if you dare and take them 1 ' Rv - • en in such a moment the Druses would not have dared to violate the sanctity of the harem of one of their great Princes, and with muttered curses retired. The poor creatures a s se carefully escorted herself to Mohktarah, whence they were despatched to Sidon, and brought off by our men - of - war and landed at Beyrout. " The Emir Shehad, whom I be f ore mentioned, and almost Lill his house, were killed, and th ey s s o ther instance had the Druses dared y moslems. In no to touch even the poorest Moslems ; but these men— teen of high rank and Damascus standing—were enemies of the Pasha of s person ally, and so they were sacrificed / —not / it will be be without the deputy of the Pasha havin lieved, fled his approbation. 6 beforehand signi " If we had no other evidence than this we should have eno ugh to prove to us how guilty the officers of the Porte have been. While the unfortunate cr eatures who had taken refuge in the Serai at Hasbey a w ore a uffering from hunger an d thirst, the people of Sidon who for 8 Male days previOileY had been in a state of constant alarm/ Were attacked on the Ist of June by the Bashi-Bazouks and other Moslems. For several days the slaughter continued, No Christian out side the town was in safety, If a man or a male child, he was cut down; if a woman, she was sure to be brutally M used. " This encouraged the Druses greatly, Ybess, who said, ' After all, the Moslems understand the workthen broke into and plundered amo "The Druses Limiters Sidon did not a b ove Sidon, killing 16 monks, and yet the Governer of even tempt to interfere, although / S idon being a wa ll e d ' town, he had only to close the gates and prevent any armed Druse from entering. The Bashi-B a'4ouks esc aped also with i m p u nity. " I should have mentioned before that a great n umber of b refussees from the villages in the mo untains which had been burnt in the first attack of the 28th of ma y , who were esca ping to Beyrout, and were, indeed within three hours' walk of their goal, were fallen upon by Druses or irregular troops, and cut to pieces. This happened 31st of May. " On the 3d of June the first on the 30 th o r great attack was made on Deirsel-Kammar, the ancient capitalof sh e Lebanon, co ntains ing a population of about 7 ,000 . The very morning o f that day the American missionary, Mr. Bird/ ad been entreated by the natives of two of the neighbouring villages th e ir relief and bring them to Deir-el -anamar,-es to go to w h er e they lc b e li ev ed they would be in greater security, " He imme diately called on the Mutsellim, commander of the troops, and asked for an escort, which, with Home difficulty, w g i v en to him. He had not been gone above an hour and as a-half before the Druses suddenly carne down upon the town, crying their war-cry. A tremendous fire was kept up till night ; many of the Christians were killecl, and on this occas i o n, it is said, from 70 to 80 Druses, for the Christians defended themselves well. " On the following day, however, w hen the Druses again appeared (they had retired after it became dark), th e Chris tians wished to solicit peace, and Mr. Bird / who early in the morning of the 4th had succeeded in r eentering the town, went to the Druse chiefs as the envoy of the people. Peace, indeed, was granted, but the Druses made their own terms. They immediately entered the town, and for three days con tinuously were plundering and carrying g, off everything they cou ld move ; while within a stone's throw of the town no Christian was safe, and many wanton murders were committed. One poor old man who could scarcely crawl so far had led his cow to the for green pasture, and two Druses immediately pounced' upon him and cut him down. Why the rest of the inhabitants at that moment were spared at all I know not. o The next great scheme was to surprise and take Zelab. The usual population of this place is about 10,000; at that mom ent (early in June) there were sai d to be double that number, so many of the inhabitants of the villages round about having sought refuge there. At the first report of the success of the Drusos a large body of their brethren came up from the Hauran, under the command of the war like and savage chief, Ismail-el-Atrash. These fellows cane up simply from a wis h for p lunder, and bro ught with the m numbers of Arabs of the small nomadic tribes, who en camped about the Hauran. They all marched up the Bekaa, as the great plain of Coslesyria, between the chains of Lebanon and Antilebanon, is called, and halted near the ravine which leads up to Zahloh. There they were joined by all kinds of rabble—Kurds from Damascus and Horns, ana Metawalis from Baalbek, all joining with the hope of plun der and of butchering the Christians. " The moment the news of this movement reached Bey rout the Consuls-General of the five great Powers did all in their power to prevent further bloodshed. They went to the Pasha, asked him if he was going to do anything, pro tested loudly against his inactivity—for he had never moved since the first outbreak, when he pitched his encampment half an hour from the town—and insisted on his doing something to keep off the danger impending on Zahleh. He said, Well, I will send some troops to protect the place.' He did so ; but this was only the signal for its destruction. No sooner did the Druses on this side of Lebanon, who since the affair of Deir-el-Kammar had been comparatively idle, see the movement of the Turkish. troops than they raised their war cry, and headed by one of their principal Sheiks (who has the rank of Bek in the Turkish service) rushed onwards to Zahleh. "From the easternmost ridge of the Lebanon several deep ravines run into the plain of Ceelesyria ; in one of these, and half-way down it, Zahleh is situated. It was the largest and most rising town in all Lebanon, the chief sta tion of the French Lazarists, and contained public build ings, a very handsome cathedral and schools, and very good houses. The people of Zahleh had already sent to the Druses in the Bokaa to ask for peace, but the conditions were so humiliating, so utterly preposterous, that they could not possibly accept them. Their very nature showed at once that they did not originate with the Druses, but with the Moslems of Damascus. " On the 19th of June the Ottoman troops and the Druses of Lebanon appeared above Zahleh, which was no sooner perceived by those in the Bokaa than a simultaneous move ment took place towards the town. The Christians evacu ated it at once, climed up the steep mountain side, and ex pected to get round the Lebanon Druses, and then fall upon them in the ravine. They were much too slow ; be fore they had well reached the summit of the mountain they saw that the two forces had met, and were beginning to burn the town from either end. After firing some vol leys tkey took to flight, as they saw that, in addition to all, the Turkish troops had turned against them ; only the aged and infirm, and some women and children were left in the town—they were slaughtered. Two of the French Lazarists were killed and another wounded. Europeans were no longer safe. "In the attack on Zahleh the troops under command of one Muribek took a more open part than they had done be fore; they even made use of a fieldpiece they had brought with them to fire upon the town ' and one shot from this is said to have brought do wn the tell of the cathedral. So much for Kurschid Pasha's promises " The Druses, now elated with success and plunder, turned again upon Deir-el-Kammar ; the wretched people hearing of their approach prepared to make the best of the fight, but the Governor, who had 400 troops in the Serai, while at Bleddin, half a mile off, there were 300 more, told them they had nothing to fear if they would give him up their arms, and he insisted on their doing so. They applied for an escort to come to Beyrout. This he would in nowise permit, so they could only do as they were bid. Their valu ables he made them place in the Semi, an then ordered a great part of the population there. So men, women, and children were all crowded together in the Serai under his orotection on the night of the 20th. On the morning of the 21st of June the Druses collected round the town. One of their leaders came to the Serai, and desired to speak with the Governor. A conversation was carried on in a low voice by means of an interpreter (for the Turk did not know Arabic) ; at last a question was asked, to which they heard the Governor give the answer, " Hepsi " (" Ab," in Turkish). Thereupon the Drase disappeared, but in a few moments the gate was thrown open, and in rushed the fiends, cutting down and slaughtering every male, the sol diers co-operating. In short, a second tragedy like that at Hasboya was enacted, only in this case the slaughter was more dreadful. Those who had not entered the Serai fared no better : all were to be killed, and these who had crossed the stream and reached Bleddin in safety were shot down by the troops quartered there. Those who escaped had managed to hide themselves in drains, and some of the wounded crawled away. I have had a vivid description of the whole scene from some dozens of women who were there. They have told me how, before their very face, they have seen husband, father, brothers, and children cut to pieces ; how in trying to save the life of a child they have been knocked down and the child torn from them and cut to pieces, and the pieces thrown in their face ; how they have been insulted by the Turkish soldiery; and how in their way down to the sea the Druses had robbed them of everything they possessed. And it must be remembered that there were people at Deir-el-Kammar who were very wealthy and lived in well-built and com fortable houses, people who had been well educated and used to luxury, and now have to beg their bread. " The number of killed in this horrible massacre has been variously estimated ; some say that 900, some that 1,800, persons were killed. I have good reason to believe, after a careful comparison of all the accounts, that from 1,100 to 1,200 males actually perished in that one day. The Druses then set fire to the town; the smoke came over Beyrout as a column of cloud, and warned us of the calamity. I my self can testify that the accounts are not much exaggerated ; ' I travelled over most of the open country before the war was over, and came to Deir-el-Kammar a few days after the massacre. Almost every house was burnt, and the streets crowded with dead bodies, most of them stripped and mutilated in every possible way. My road led through the town, and through some of the streets my horse could not even pass, for the bodies were literally piled up. Most of those I examined had many wounds, and in each case was the right hand either entirely or nearly cut off; the poor wretch, in default of weapons, having instinctively raised his arm to parry the blow aimed at him. I saw little children, of not more than three or four years old, stretched on the ground, and old men with grey beards. In some places you could see the expression of agony ; in others, of last despair. One poor creature, on his knees, had been cut down as ho appealed to the mercy of his murderers. "I saw bodies without heads, and heads lying alone about the place—all lying unburied, to be devoured by the hyaenas and wild beasts. While in the midst of this scene of death—a scene which would have forced any one, I should have supposed, to be sober—some Druses, who had come to carry off what remaining bits of timber there might be in the houses, laughing and joking at the appearance of the wretched victims. " I expressed my horror of such brutal behaviour to the great Chief of the Druses, and urged him to have the dead buried. He laughed, and asked me why. I have some hope that this has been done, as he promised to give an order for it, although he said it would be difficult to induce the Druses to bury Christian carcases. " When the account reached Beyrout the horror and in dignation were indiscribable. Used as we had become to such horrors, yet this surpassed all, and revealed a degree of treachery on the part of the Pasha which it would be almost impossible to persuade a sober European statesmen could be practised by an official in the high position of a governor of a great province. "The Pasha reached Deir-el-Kammar the day after the slaughter; a fact ' which he will ever lament and deplore as long as he lives ;' that is what he says, so, of course, it is true. The details had barely reached us, when, on Sunday afternoon, the 26th of June, the French brig-of-war Senti nelle, brought us alarming reports from Sidon. The Druses were again threatening the place, and the Mufti had been preaching in the mosque, and even in the streets ' Death to the Christians and calling upon the faithful to behold how the cause of the righteous triumphed. ' Now is the time,' he was heard to proclaim, ' God has given the infidel into our hands.' On the preceding night, September 25, armed Druses had been allowed to sleep in the town, and Moslems, with weapons of different kinds, had passed the night in the mosque, ready at any moment, should the Druses begin the carnage, to aid them to the best of their power. And on the following night it was believed the slaughter would take place. Two English and two French men-of• war immediately steamed off and anchored at Sidon before sunset, and this intimidated the fanatics, and, in all probability, prevented an outbreak. "It was found on inquiry that a trap had indeed been laid here also, for the Governor of Sidon had disarmed all the Christians, on the plea that in the then disturbed state of the country it was necessary for people to be disarmed, while, at the same time, he permitted Druses and Moslems to enter and remain in the town without taking from them any of their arms. Nothing could be more unjust than this; nothing could more clearly show the bad end he had in view. On being officially asked if it was true, he did not deny it, but said that in future he would have all parties to give up their arms ; but on being desired to give this pro mise in writing he refused, saying that after all it was not in his power to prevent the Druses bringing their arms into Sidon, although he had a garrison of 300 troops there, and cannon, and he was in a walled town. " After the butchery at Deir-el-Kammar, and while the panic was going on at Sidon, Beyrout itself was menaced, and, but for the presence of several European mentof-war, this place would have shared the fate of other towns. Al most all the native merchants have escaped to Alexandria ; and, to improve matters, a Moslem was found murdered. This created a great sensation ; the Moslems insisted on the execution of a Christian, and some poor fellow was seized, tried, and executed in a few hours, who had probably as much to do with the murder as the Emperor of China. " The Consuls-General could now no longer have any confidehce in the Pacha, and they determined upon sending a joint letter to the great chiefs of the Druses themselves demanding that they should cease from further hostilities. " Murders were daily going on, Beyrout and Sidon were in danger, and thousands of persons who had congregated in the Kesrouan (as the distinct north of the Dog River is called) were in hourly expectation of an attack. " The Druse chiefs clearly showed that they had not been the chief agents in the mountain war. They had sold themselves to the Pashas, and they evaded giving any direct answer. " But this attempt on the part of the Consuls-General of the Five Powers was successful for the moment. The Pasha heard of the letter ; he saw that he had been detected, and then his only hope was to insist on peace. " We have since found, as indeed we suspected oily too well at the time, that a repetition of the massacres of Has beya and Deir-el-Kammar had been projected in the Kes rouan. The Druses were to have marched to the borders of this district, the Pasha was to have sent a large force of Ottoman troops ' topreserve order, and toprotect the Chris tians from the Druses,' and then the carnage would have begun, and probably never would have ended until the Druses and Moslems had slaughtered the greater part of the Christian population in Lebanon. Thousands must have perished had this admirable policy been carried out. " The result, then, has been the official deolaration of peace in Lebanon, on one condition only ; that the Chris tians are to look upon bygones as bygones. " The Pasha went through the farce of summoning an equal number of representatives from both races, but those who came on the part of the Christians were traitors who had been bribed ; nor, indeed, had they been altogether honest men they would have dared, to do otherwise, than the Pasha chose to dictate. Poor wretched people By gones to be bygones I' How many thousands aro ruined and destitute; how many women are altogether unpro tected, and all their homes and goods gone I Sixty towns and villagesln Lebanon are burnt, and this goodly moun tain has become a black desert. " it is said that 75,000 persons are dostitute. This seems a great number ; but some idea may be formed of the depo pulation when I state that the English man-of-war alone brought to Beyrout, from Sidon and the Damur river, 2,400 children. Most of the boys who had reached this had escaped in women's clothes. All wish to leave the country. The poor people are panic-stricken, and if they could get away scarcely any of the Christians would remain an hour longer under the Turkish rule. But here again has been another atrocious tyranny and premeditated extermination of the Christian race. These poor creatures, who have bees for some time wishing to leave Damascus and other towns for fear of their lives, have been prevented by the Pashas; who will not give them a teskere (pass), although they have not the slightest right to withhold it, for any subject may travel about the Ottoman dominions at pleasure. " It is difficult to see how many Christians have been killed in all the mountain massacres. The numbers are rated very differently, some rating the number of deaths at 4,000, others at as many as 10,000. This last number is a very great exaggeration, and I should place the maximum at 4,000; for, from the best information I have been able to collect from many sources, I rate the number of killed at Deir-el-Katumar at 1,100 to 1,200; at Hasbeya and Re sheya, 700 ; at Sidon, 550 ; so that in the three great man nacres from 2,250 to 2,350 males fell. Above 200 refugees were cut to pieces on the 30th and 31st of May, near Bey rout, and if 1,000 more Christians were killed in the villages I should say that was quite the outside ; so that I shall not be inclined to think that more than 3,500 have actually perished—but 3,500 males ; and that takes a great deal out of a population whose whole wealth and prosperity depends on its energy. "On Wednesday, the 11th of July, a Turkish line-of battle ship and two frigates entered the bay, having on board about 3,000 troops. This caused a fresh panic, and all thbse who had lingered here now made their prepara tions to depart, for the Consuls insisted on the Pasha per mitting those who wished to leave to embark. " The Christians of Beyrout felt now that it was all over with them. Hitherto they had looked with comfort to the foreign men-of-war at anchor in the bay ; now they feel they are between two fires, and this great additional mili tary force being landed, instead of giving security, adds only to the insolence of the Moslems and, consequently, to the danger of the Christians. " So far goes my sketch of the war in Lebanon. This war (it is a farce using the term when the whole has been a butchery) has now been concluded ; and would that my re lation of horrors could conclude with it I Almost the yew, day on which peace was proclaimed a fanatical ;.utbViar broke out at Damascus. We had been expectin 6 it." Indeed, all those best acquainted with Syria have for three or four years foreseen that some dreadful tragedy would be en acted in this country, especially in the capital. In no place is the fanaticism stronger than at Damascus, and the Chris . tiaas are in such a minority that the very thought of a general slaughter there is too dreadful. The Moslems number about 130,000, and the Christians not more than 15,000. "The train, which had been long laid, was fired on Mon day, the 9th of July, at 2 p.m. The house of the Russian Consul was the first to be attacked, then some of the houses of the leading Christian merchants, eich, according to the abominable custom of this country, being set on fire. This work was found to be too slow for them, so they went off to the Aleppo-gate (Bab Tuma), and commenced burning the whole Christian quarter systematically. lam not going to enter into further details, as the affair of Damascus is not yet over ; but up to the moment the last despatch went, which was eight days after the commencement of the affair, the Christian quarter was still burning, the cry of theMos lem still raging, and the thirst for blood not yet satiated. No one is safe. The streets are crowded by fanatics who continually shout Death to the Christians ! Come, let us slaughter the Christians; let not one remain.' The Euro peans, up to the time of the last despatch, had escaped, no thanks to the people, for they have burnt all the consulates except the British and Russian, and call loudly that the Russia". and French consuls be delivered up to them. "The very few Europeans at Damascus have found re fuge with Abd-el-Kader or with Mr. Brant, her Britannic Majesty's consul, who by his firm and splendid behaviour has been the means, up to the present, of saving many lives. But he is regularly besieged, with some 100 refuges in his house, and any moment may be his last. To add to these horrors, the Arabs and Kurds have come into the city, and besides plundering and murdering the men, they carry off the women. And the Pasha has done nothing. Ahmed Pasha never ordered the gates to be closed ; and the Otto man troops have distinguished themselves by their eager ness to slaughter the Christians and illtreat the women. " Othmar. Beg, the same who was at Hasbeya, entered Damascus a few days ago, and received the honours of a con quering hero. Nething can be more infamous than the be haviour of Ahmed Pasha and of all the officials. "We all tremble for Aleppo, Homs, Haman, even for Jerusalem. May these places escape ! I fear not. At all events Aleppo will hardly remain quiet." " CONSUL BRANT TO LORD J. RUSSELL. " Damascus, July 16. "I dare not attempt to give any details of the destruction by fire and pillage of the Christian quarter of Damascus, a city of itself. Europe will be astonished to hear that a Christian community has been attacked, and possibly a third part of the male population massacred, with scarcely an attempt at resistance on their part, and a very feeble effort on the part of the authorities to avert or arrest so awful a calamity. " The surprise will not be diminished when it is added that this has occurred without any provocation, in a time of peace, not by an irruption of tribes inimical or exasperated against the Christians, but by a portion of their fellow citizens, apparently stimulated only by a fanatical hatred of tbo Christians and by the lust of plunder, " That there must be a great misconduct somewhere will bo easily conceived, but it will not be so easy to fix on the , guilty parties. The respectable part of the population was well disposed, and has to all appearance used its influence and power to maintain tranquillity. Strangers and people of the villages in the plain have been concerned in the tragedy to a limited extent ; the greatest damage has been effected by the evil-disposed portion of the population. The military force was small, it is true, but I have little doubt that if it had been actively employed it could have mastered the out break and prevented the calamity. Grave suspicions rest on the conduct of the Pasha, in whose hands were combined the civil and military power, and who appeared paralysed. It is, however, almost inconceivable that a soldier who holds the elevated rank of Mushir, who was engaged in the Crimea during the war in a high command, should be so overcome by fear as to have acted as his Excellency has done ; and this gives at least plausibility to the opinion strongly entertained by some that the whole affair was a plot of his own contrivance. In this opinion I confess I cannot concur ; but so many reasons and facts are adduced that my opinion is staggered, and I must suspend coming to a decision until a rigid examination of facts has been made and competent witnesses have made their depositions. " The facts apparent to every one are these :—The Chris tian quarter was set fire to on Monday, the 9th inst., and as no attempt was made to arrest the conflagration, it was still burning on Sunday night, the 15th ; every church and con vent has been plundered and burnt afterwards, and some possessed a large stock of silver church plate and orna ments, but the Greek Patriarchate was the richest, as well in church plate and jewellery as in gold coin; these things were not allowed to be plundered by the rabble, but were removed by soldiers. It is notorious that for some days the Algerines of his Highness the Emir Abd-el-Kader saved from the ruins several hundreds before the Pasha thought of doing so. That his Excellency neither thought of re moving or burying the corpses until I entreated him to do so to prevent a pestilence, and when he did order something to be done, it was so little as almost to be useless. That, although his Excellency promised to adopt my repeated sug gestion that the gates should be guarded, and no strangers be admitted, it was done tardily and ineffectually. That while t he Christian quarter was given up to plunder, neither the Jewish quarter nor the Meidan, whence the plunderers poured forth in swarms, was injured or disturbed—a fact so singular demands inquiry and explanation. I know in what direction to look for it when the time of inquiry shall come, but the inquirers must be armed with power, and be able to protect those who will give evidence. " The Pasha should be called on to explain why he was never seen without the walls of his Serai •' why the greater part of his troops were kept to defend his. Excellency ; why no officer of rank ever headed the detachments of troops occasionally sent out ; why cannon sent to the Christian quarters to clear it of the plunderers were never used; and, during the whole course of the massacre, why the troops fired but few shots, and those mostly without effect. These and similar questions can only be put by persons acquainted with the facts from the beginning to the end. " The members of the Municipal Council should be called upon to state the advice they gave, and why that advice was not acted upon. The Pasha would seem to lay the fault on them, while they say their counsel was unheeded. " I entreat that pecuniary assistance be furnished me. I have no means of my own, and the calls on me are so heavy that I cannot long respond to them. I have altogether under my roof nearly 200 people who depend on me for food, and I cannot foresee when they can quit this asylum, or whither they can go. All are houseless, penniless, and with only the clothes on their backs. I dread a sickness follow ing. I have but a small stock of medicine, and no doctor to assist. I will not fail in my duty be it as severe as it may, but I cannot do what is beyond my physical powers and my pecuniary means. lam puzzled what to do, and my hope is that my earnest appeal for aid in these trying circumstances will not be without effect. For the moment appearances are favourable to the restoration of tranquillity, but after what we have witnessed, no one can say that we are safe from one hour to another. " I deeply regret the murder of the Rev. William Graham, a Protestant missionary, when near my house, to which he was directing his steps, after being driven from the house where he had taken refuge, the owner of which. was a friend of Mr. Wood's, and through whose patronage and kindness he amassed money during the Crimean war. The mur derer is known, and openly avows his crime ; the reason he gives for committing it was, that he believed him to be a consul. " CAPTAIN PAYNTER TO VICE-ADMIRAL MARTIN. " Exmouth, Beyrout, July 19. " Sir,—The postscript of my letter dated the 13th of July placed you in possession of the latest news received from Damascus up to Thursday, the 12th of July. I have now the painful duty to report that the tragedy is consummated. From Monday, the 9th, until Saturday morning, the 14th, the game of blood, fire, and treachery went on, with the following result. " The whole Christian quarter of Damascus (a city in it self) has been ruthlessly plundered and burnt to the ground, loss estimated at £1,200,000 sterling; 2,000 dead bodies lie unburied amid the ruins (Mr. Consul Brant's letter to Mr. Moore states from 3,000 to 5,000); and 20,000 houseless wanderers, whose only crime was that they were followers of Christ, now live on charity, and ask for justice from the hands of Europe. " The cowardly or treacherous Achmet Pasha, whose first duty it was to have shown himself at the head of his troops, and dispersed the robbers, proved faithless to his trust, either from his fears or his fanaticism ; he kept within his palace during the whole period of the massacre • his troops, still fresh from the slaughters of Hasbeya andDeir-el-Kammar, joined the Moslem mob in murdering and pillaging a popu lation it was their duty to defend at the peril of their lives. " Five atrocious massacres within six weeks attest the power of evil or the miserable incapacity of the local Turkish authorities in Syria, and every mail that leaves this port takes to Europe harrowing details of those transactions, which, when known, will sicken the inhabitants of every Christian city in the world. " I sincerely trust that Aleppo is safe, as precautionary measures have been taken to prevent that city sharing a similar fate. " Yesterday, the 18th, an express arrived from Damascus. Mohammar Pasha and the troops had arrived. Order was being gradually restored ; the gates are closed against arm d bodies of men. They were bury in g the dead for fear n of armed bodies the plague ; and some vegetable and provision no Christian shops Mahomedan quarter are op en for tr a de dare show his face. Tro o p s are clearing' but the road between Beyrout and Damascus, and I have no doubt that the m ajority of the fugitives will soon find their way to this poit. " On Wethauday, the 17th, Fttad Pasha, the Minister for BERTVICK _ELECTION COMMISSION. BERWICK-UPON-TWEED, AUG. 18. The Commissioners met this morning at 10 o'clock. Ralph Anstruther Earle was sworn and examined by the Chief Commissioner—l was member for this town from April, 1859, to August in the same year, and was Mr. Dis raeli's private secretary from the time of his coming into up to the time of his quitting office. I consulted Mr. Disraeli before becoming a candidato. I came to Berwick, April 8, and commenced my canvass. I heard a great deal about the barrack question. It appeared that the question of re occupying the barracks had. been agitated during the pre ceding year, and a memorial signed by a great many per sons was drawn up, representing the great injury done to the town by the abandonment of the barracks, and that they had set every influence in motion to have the old state of things restored, as I understood, without success, and that they had then changed their ground and, instead of asking that the barracks should be occupied, asked that the claims of Berwick as a military station should be reconsidered. They were more successful in this, and some rather sub stantial hope was held out that this modest request would be acceded to. They complained that the renewed inquiry did not take place, and they thought that, if granted, the officer who had already condemned the barracks would be employed to revise hie own decision. Thicting wish of the inhabitants reasonable, I undertook to make an inquiry on the subject. I addressed a communication to the War-office, stating what I had heard. It was alleged that Lord Melville, the commander of the district, finding Berwick inconveniently distant from head-quarters, was prejudiced against having soldiers there. I wrote to the War office in a tone of remonstrance and asked information. I was actuated in pursuing the course I did by thinking that the disappointment already experienced by the inhabitants was unfavourable to the Conservative party, and I wished also to make myself favourably known to the electors. I either addressed my letter to Gen. Peel, or to Mr. William Peel, his private secretary. I also wrote to Mr. Disraeli, asking him to speak to Gen. Peel. I received an answer, which I showed to several people in Berwick and left with some of them. I have not got it, nor do I know where it is. I made use of it in my address. If the printed copy of my address put it into my hands is correct, that will give sub stantially a correct copy; but, as it is not in my hand writing, I will not admit it. I certainly exaggerated my services. The word " success" is too strong. Addresses are often altered. I don't believe I said what is there printed. The article in the Warder is immensely exagge rated ; the letter contained nothing to warrant it. I think it is a sanguine amplification. Ido not deny that I wrcte that address, nor do I assert that I did. Tho charge made by the other party is that there was a compact that if the Conservative candidates were returned the barracks should be restored. There was a " cry" got up that I had beer.' suc cessful in getting a concession from the Government abort the barracks. Perhaps I allowed too much to be said. The excitement of an election produces exaggeration. There is no very strict adherence to truth on such occasions. I don't think that I told Mr. Disraeli, in writing to him from Berwick, that I had been able to make a good deal out of the barrack promise. I think I told him that the non-perform ance of the promise made by the Government had produced a very unfavourable impression to the Conservative interest. I thought my chance of success would be increased if I was enabled to state that the barracks would be restored. I don't think I was so ambitious as to think that my position as secretary to Mr. Disraeli, and my being able to commu nicate with General Peel, would enable me to state that, the barracks would be restored. My object was, not so. much to produce a good as to remove a bad impression. I had some communication with Mr. Rose before I ca me down as a candidate, and I wrote to him while I wfa at Berwick. The circumstances of the compromise of which you have heard were as follows. Immediately after the change of Government I went abroad, and on my return I heard from Mr. Spofforth that there had been a meeting between him and Mr. Baker about compromising the peti tion which there was against both mine and Captain Gor don's seats. Baker said the Liberals must have a seat at Berwick. I felt from that moment that the responsibility of continuing to defend the seat rested upon me. Mr. Rose afterwards told me that he understood that there was no distinct evidence against me, but that he believed it was in tended to attack a great number of votes on account of pay ments of money riade by Captain Gordon. Rose said he did not think the payments corrupt, but a hostile committee might take a different view. It would also have been a scrutiny, and I could ill afford the expense. I thought I had better retire with honour, and moreover I felt I was in a difficult position as regarded Capt. Gordon. The compro mise did not emanate from our party. It was considered the best tactics to take chances of war and not give up till the last moment, so I kept my seat till within three days of the end of the session. I signed the agreement, which was drawn up by Sir F. Slade and Mr. Phinn. I objeoted to two or three things in it, but was overruled. I know Brodie ; he was first known about a duel at Canterbury, subsequently at Weedon. I became acquainted with him shortly after becoming Mr. Disraeli's secretary. Shortly be fore Lord Palnierston's Administration terminated in 1858, a great deal of attention had been excited by the. Weedon scandals. Several M.P.'s asked Mr. Disraeli to see Ser geant Brodie. Mr. Disraeli promised to make aw appoint ment for Brodio to come to him. I learnt this from Mr. Disraeli, partly at the time and partly since. Mr. Disraeli did not see him, but one day, as he was walking to West minster, Brodie accosted him and introduced himself, and walked with him to the house ; this was beihre the change in ISSB. Mr. Disraeli, thinking him badly used, indulged and encouraged him ; the consequence was that Brodie often used to lie in wait and accost him, and talk to him. At the time of the change I became private sec retary, and one of the first letters received was one from Brodie, asking for an interview, and making some allusion to his claims. Mr. Disraeli docketed the letter " that he knew the man, took some interest in him, and desired me to see him, and to ascertain what he wanted." He came and related the circumstances under which he had been deprived of his appointment, and asked that Mr. Disraeli's influence should be used to get him reinstated or appointed to some thing else. Mr. Disraeli, entertaining the same sentiments as he did before he came into office, spoke to General Peel about Brodie. General Peel promised to inquire, and to ascertain whether anything could be done for ilim.' The re port received by General Peel was unfavourable to Brodie,. One of the reasons given against his being employed N.vs.s that he was mad. Although there was a constant apparenat excitement in Brodie's manner, Mr. Disraeli did not concur, and observed nothing in his proceedings which could yLot be reconciled with his character as a man suffering and er real or imaginary oppression. Mr. Disraeli's efforts havi.ng thus failed to obtain any appointment in the public so rvice, ho was glad to learn from Brodie that ho had obta'aied some employment in his own line of business, through Nicoll, the tailor, I think. Some months subsequently ,in April, 1859, Brodie accosted Mr. Disraeli in the lobby, and asked to speak to him for five minutes. Mr. Disraeli acceded, and listened to him. He said he had lost his employment, and that he was in want. Mr. Disraeli said, after what had occurred, he could not hold out any hopo of getting him reinstated, but that he thought he might get him some thing to do in connexion with the general election, meaning that he might be employed as a messenger or paid can vasser. He told him that ho might go to Mr. ELose and men tion his name. Brodie said, "Oh, that won't do ; can't you give me something written ?'' Whereupon he wrote on an envelope some few lines, which, to use his own expression, might be read at Charing-cross. The man went to Mr. Rose's office (this I heard from Mr. Spofforth), but did not see Mr. Rose, but not, as he supposes, because he was taken for a spy, but because his eccentric. aspect, incoherent lan • guage, and redolence of liquor 'alarmed the clerks, who thought he ought not to be allowed to remain lounging on the premises, as ho was manifestly intoxicated, and perhaps insane. I have a very lively recollection of the particulars, and that is all I know about it.—[The envelope spoken of by Brodie was handed to the witness, who said it was cer tainly in Mr. Disraeli's handwriting.]—He used often to come and bother me. The other day he wanted to show me a letter he had received from Lord Palmerston, ititroducing him to Mr. Sidney Herbert. Mr. Disraeli told 3ne he had never seen him at his house. The reason he said it was, that the whole of the same story was bruited shout at the time of the Frame petition, except that Berwick-uipon-Tweed was not mentioned. I was at that time very much in the way of hearing this sort of thing in Parliamentary circles. I know it was intended that if the Frome petition had gone on this should have been brought forward. People who knew Brodie told me that they were song he had been guilty of this abuse of Mr. Disraeli's benevolence. I was walking one day in Leicester-square and ho (Brodie) met me, and said a debate was going on at Wyld's rooms; would I not go and hear it ? I went to a room where two, men were drinking beer. He said it was a mistake, and he then took me to another where there were three men, but no debate was going on. I forget where the second was. I Itltave never been with him anywhere but that once. By Mr. Barstowe—l never had any conversation with him about his being employed on the secret service. Ho is the very last person to be employed where discretion is re quisite. He was always full of mystery and great person ages. He used to say ho had just come from the Duke of Cambridge. Once or twice ho came to me in the lobby of the house and said, " Ah, Mr. Earle, all my friends at Ber wick-upon-Tweed voted for you." Brodie certainly was not in the habit of taking me to debating societies. He used to come to Downing-street with paragraphs cut out of papers in his pocket and show me. He once produced a bit of paper headed, "Wyld's Room.—Question, Whether Lord Palmerston was fit to advise the Queen ?' Mesa a Noes, 15." I used to see him often. He is in the had are accosting people. Many think him a charactor , cud . amused at his absurdity. I went to Wyld's ( s Pu s t ' Ile boasts Mr. Disraeli used to speak of Brod ie withPalmer.el M r.
