rsety general Surmise is that Garibaldi has already
sailed for Naples, and we must not be surprised at any
moment to hear of his landing. The _royal troops, it is
taken for granted, even if they show light at first, will
soon fratei nise with- his forces.

We learn from Paris that a convention has been
Signed by the ambassadors of the Great Power's,
respecting intervention in the affairs of the East, and it
is even added that the Porte has given its .acquiseence.
Louis Napoleon is thus relieved of his temporary em-
barrassment, and orders have been transmitted by
telegraph to Toulon for the immediate embarkation of
the army. According to a Reuter's telegram, the Porte
has not yet given its consent, but it will not matter.

A Nriiarnentary paper, containing correspondence
relative to the disturbances in Syria, has just been
published. The despatches contain a repetition of all
those harrowing details which have already been pub-
lished. They confirm all that has been said of the
vacillation of the Mahomniedan authorities, and of the
sanguinary cruelty of the Druses. Large numbers of
the natives are abandoning their homes, and leaving
the country; the mission stations have been broken up ;
and the country is the scene of general desolation.

Amongst the papers is an interesting despatch from
fir: Harvey, owner of the yacht Claymore, describing
the circumstances under which he consented to protect
the Christians at Tyre, and Which he did effectually, by
bringing her small guns to bear on an advancing body
of marauding Druses. "I do not believe," he says, in
conclusion, " the *Druses would attaek any place de-
fended by an English force, however small. They have
a-great esteem and regard for us, and would hesitate in
commencing what would appear, according to their
ideas, a blood-feud with 'Great Britain."

The American mission stations are all abandoned in
the Lebanon. The schools are broken up ; the followers
have either been killed or arc no* destitute ; and
several of the missionaries tre now leaving for America,
" as there is no field for their labours."

By the arrival of the Persia at Queenstown, we have
fourdays' later intelligence from America. Advices
from,. Washington, emanating from well-informed
quarters allege that England, France, and Spain are
making renewed endeavours to bring about a reconcilia-
tion between the two contending parties in Mexico.
Juarez, finding no support from America, owing to the
rejection of the treaty, is, it is said, more inclined to
listen than he was at the time when the first proposals
were sent out by Lord John Russell. The United
States Government has been appealed to by England
and France to take part in the proposed attempt at
pacification ; but as it looks forward rather to the seizure
and annexation of that distracted country, it is believed
that it will refuse' to do so.

Albert: W. Hicks, the murderer of Captain Burr, and
crew of the oyster sloop E. A. Johnson, suffered the
extreme penalty of the law, ou the 13th of July, on
Bedloe's Island, New York. The culprit made no
remarks at the gallows, but quietly and firmly resigned
himself to his fate. He was attended in his last
moments by Father Duranquet, to whom it is supposed
he made a more full confession of his guilt than that
heretofore published. The execution was public, and
was witnessed by fully 10,000 persons, who surrounded
the island in steamboats, sailing vessels, and small boats.
The sloop E. A. Johnson, on board of which the murders
were committed, was also in attendance, with her burgee
floating gaily in the breeze. She was anchored a few
hundred feet from shore, and was crowded with

spectators.
A letter, dated Bantry Bay, Beerhaven, July 17th,
states that the Channel fleet was to leave in a few days
for Dublin, whence it would probably proceed to the
Clyde. It is supposed that Sir C. Fremantle will winter
in Plymouth Sound.

The people of Edinburgh are zealously preparing for
the volunteer review of the 7th of- August, and the day
will be observed as a holiday in the Scottish capital, as
well as in the towns near enough to allow the volunteers
to take part in the evolutions. One of the newspapers
published in Newcastle-on-Tyne says the, volunteers of
that borough will he reviewed along with the Scotch
corps in Edinburgh, on the 7th.
The Leinster, one of .the new Holyhead boats, has
been engaged in a second trial trip, in which she ran
upwards of. twenty miles an hour. The Leinster thus
beats the Victoria and Albert, previously the fastest
vessel afloat ; and we believe no other nation has yet
been able to come within three knots of this enormous
speed. .

The arra4gemeuts for the fourth annual meeting of
the Social Science Association, which will be held at
Glasgow on Monday, the 24th September, and five
following days, are now fax advanced. The president
