THE DAY'S NEWS.

In the House of Lords yesterday, the Game Certifi-
cate, the Naval Discipline, the Senior Members of
Council (India), and the Superannuation Act of 1859
Amendment Bills were read a third time and passed ;
and the Royal Volunteer Corps Bill was read a second
time,

Earl Granville, on behalf of the Government,
announced their intention to proceed before the session
closed with a number of important measures, which were
specified. The House-of Commons; in its day sitting, pro-
ceeded with the clauses of the Roman Catholic Charities
Bill. Several amendments were effected, and the bill
then passed through_ committee. The Industrial Schools
Act (1851) Amendment Bill went through committee,
and the House adjourned. The evening sitting, it will
be seen, was largely occupied with the third reading of
the European Forces (India) Bill.
A telegram from Edinburgh, yesterday afternoon,
announces that the Queen arrived safely in that city
yesterday morning, punctually at the time expected.
We await important news from Naples. A despatch
from Turin states that 5,000 volunteers were to leave
on Saturday for Sicily. Lamoriciere, oberves the
Globe's Paris correspondent, sends troops to Terracina ;
his next move must be an advance into young Bomba's
dominions, which may bring him a step nearer to
Garibaldi—the two champions of opposite systems being
destined, no doubt, to a final collision.

Austria, by last accounts, was sending artillery to the
heights, of the Stelvio Pass, and filling Tyrol with troops
that may' be required for Hungary.
The annual Federal fete has taken place at Geneva.
Officers from all parts of Switzerland, to the number of
1,200, assembled on the occasion, under the presidency
of General Dufour. The enthusiasm was general.

According to a letter from Damascus, published in
the JlMiliteter, the massacres in that city lasted from the
9th of July to the lEth, the first three days being,
however, the most terrible. The number of Christians
cruelly put to death during the eight days, is estimated
approximately at 8,000, the only persons spared being
young women and girls, who were carried off to slavery.
The French news will be found amply discussed in
our Paris correspondent's letter. The Emperor has
left for the camp at Chalons, where he will remain to
the 17th instant. M. Cucheval Clarigny's pamphlet,
"Notes sur les Budgets de la Guerre et de la Marine
en Angleterre," which will be published by Dentu, on
Thursday, has been avowedly
.written by order of
government, as may be gathered from•the preface.
The London papers of yesterday contain a com-
plete and literal translation of the two protocols of the
conference on Syria, held on Friday last at the Foreign
Office in Paris. the second one contains the solemn
engagement which the contracting powers have taken
upon themselves to seek neither territorial aggrandise-
ment nor exclusive influence, nor commercial advantages
for their subjects, by the intervention. The first regu-
lates the details of the intervention itself, which is
limited beforehand to a duration of six months. The
strength •of the expedition on land is not to exceed
12,000 men. Of these, 6,000 are to be furnished by
France, and that immediately. Should it become ne-
cessary to fill up the whole number of 12,000, an under-
standing is once more to be come to with the Porte, in
the ordinary diplomatic way, about what powers are to
make up the rest. All have undertaken the obligation,

as it is called, to furnish naval assistance to the expedi-
tion on land with the exception of Prussia. The atten-
tion of the Sultan is significantly called to the article of
the treaty of 1856, supported by the solemn promises or
the Sublime Porte, of serious administrative measures
for ameliorating the fate of the Christian populations, of
whatever denomination, in the Ottoman empire.

By the arrival of the•recent mails, we have
.a fort-
night's later news from China. According to our last
