NEWS OF THE DAY.

In the House of Lords yesterday a wonderfully great
deal of business was got through, with a charmingly
small amount of discussion.
In the House of Commons, after a great deal of
miscellaneous talk, the important subject of our fortifi-
cations was again entered upon, but for the particulars
we must refer to our telegraphic report.
" Come over and help us," is the cry still from
Damascus. " May God, when these things are known
in Europe, inspire its Christian Princes to come to our
help, and save us, at least from further atrocities."
From private letters we have further particulars of these
atrocious massacres. One account states :—" The
Christian quarter was attacked on all sides, pillaged,
and burnt entirely, with whole churches and convents ;
and, between priests, (Franks as well as natives,) the
people of Damascus, and fugitives, more than 5,000 fell
victims, while women were violated and children mas-
sacred. This state of things continued for seven days,
the Turkish authorities either doing nothing, or con-
niving at the slaughter. So children and women, mar-
ried and unmarried, were driven into the streets, crying
for help and assistance, with heads uncovered and feet
naked, appealing to the mercy of the murderers,
but some of them were taken into the respect-
able Moslem houses, also to the English and
Prussian Consulates, and they were the only ones saved."
Another account says the Moslems of Damascus on the
9th ult. rose up against the Christians, burnt all their
churches, patriarchates, and consulates, except those of
England and Prussia, and murdered about 6,000—some
say more, some less (for up to this date the number
is not exactly known, as things were continuing), and
also murdered the numerous clerical body of that
capital, both Franks and natives, except about ten
persons, and forced many women to become Moslems,
married some of them; and killed some of them, while
others wereesold7the married for 50 piasters, and the
unmarried for 80. All this was done with the know-
ledge of the Government, their connivance and assist-
ance, as is reported by Moslems themselves and the
Prussian Consul. As to the remainder of the Christians,
it is reported that 12,000 of them are in the Castle with
the Pasha, who has given them a slight subsistence, and
many of them are dying daily of starvation.

A letter was also received yesterday in Paris from
Beyrout, by the Superior of one of the houses of Sisters
of St. Vincent de Paul, from a Sister of Charity there,
containing a very interesting description of the noble-
minded manner in which Abd-el-Kader rescued seventeen
of their number, together with their pupils, from a fate
worse than death. When the Emir first offered these
unfortunates his protection, they hesitated to accept it,
fearing treachery, but he speedily reassured them by the
words —" Fear nothing, poor ladies, no harm Shall
happen to you, and I will defend you if necessary even
at the risk of my life." lie kept his word, and the
Bikers are lOnd in their praises of his generous condnet.
They had a narrow escape, for on their returning to their
house a short time afterwards they perceived it in flames.

The statement that boiling oil and boiling water were
thrown upon the heads of the Garibaldians by some of
th• inhabitants of Melazzo, at the taking of that town,
and also that some of these persons were shot by order
of Garibaldi, has been officially contradicted.

It will be observed, from the letter of our Paris
correspondent, that her Majesty is expected at Berlin
on the 12th of next month, to be present at the baptism
of her infant granddaughter.

The presence of Garibaldi at Naples is contemplated
as imminent; and should he then move into the Ronan
provinces, the King of Upper Italy will take under his
protection the Pope's territory against any such invasion
whereupon Lamoriciere, in command of the Papal mis-
cellany, General Fanti, with a Piedmontese division, and
Garibaldi, at the head of a national force, are possibly
destined to fight a sort of triangular duel on the
debatable land. The French garrison at Rome are under
strict orders to confine their •duties to protecting the
Court and person of the Pontiff in that capital, other-
wise a fourth belligerent might appear on the field.
Count de Goyon, the commander of the French
troops at Rome, has arrived in Paris en congi.
A pamphlet issued from the Government workshop,
under the title of Budgets de la Guerre et de la Marine,
has been for the last three Weeks privately circulated
about Paris and London. Long eztracts of it have
been quoted by the Post and Chronicle. It is now pub-
lished as an independent work ! It is a tissue of mis-
statements. Nothing is so easy to distort as figures ;
and therefore the Government clerks who have compiled
the clumsy oration show to theiT own Oatisfaction that
the French army and navy are on a smaller footing
than our own—qui sent trop prouver ne prouve Ken.
The short speech delivered by the Emperor to the
portion of the regiments which had not left for Toulon
does DA P 941 for remark in any way. The only
passage which might possibly be looked on as an

oracular utterance is that in which his Majesty
asserts, that " at. 'the present day, wherever the
French standard is beheld, nations know that a
great Cause precedes, and a great people follows
it." This is not merely one of those bombastic
and standing phrases which 'are considered as " military
eloquence." His Majesty, hoviever, did not think of
the protocols just signed by his own Secretary for
Foreign Affairs; for if that document is really to regu-
late the operations of the French contingent, they are
to act as mere police to aid the Sultan. But then our
gallant ally has a soul above protocols.
At Toulon the preparations are going on on a scale
of unprecedented magnitude. Such piles of shot, such
mounds of biscuit, such an array of artillery, has not
been seen on the wharves of that great military port
since the days of the Crimean war. Though all the
stores, materiel, &c., requisite for General Beaufort
d'Hautpoul's corps d'armee have been embarked, the
mass of ordnance collected apparently for immediate
service hardly shows any diminution. In military
circles it is reported—and such reports generally turn
out to be correct—that M. d'Hautpours corps is merely
a van-guard, to be followed by an army of at least
30,000 or 40,000 men under a marshal of France.
Immense depots, it is said, are to be quietly estab-
lished at Beyrout ; fortifications will be thrown up
along the bay, and a military governor appointed, to
"secure the maintenance of order ;" all this, of course,
with the connivance of Russia and of the Greek Chris-

tians, one of the most abject of Eastern races. How-
ever, the protocols are signed, and it is now too late to
draw back. Le Din est tire, it faut le boire—for us it
