BEYROUT.

A letter from Beyrout of the 12th ult., in the '
Presse, says :—" Tyre was very near being the
theatre of excesses similar to tho3e which have taken
place elsewhere, but the energetic conduct of an
Englishman saved the town and the population. A
bard of Druses and Mutualis were marching on the
place to the great terror of the people, when a small
light vessel was seen to enter the port. The Go-
vernor of the town, the English consular agent, and
the chief of the Christian communities, imagined
that the vessel was one of war, and they prayed
the commander to take measures for saving the
town, but she turned out to be only a pleasure
yacht, the Claymore, having on board her owner,
a wealthy Englishman, Mr. Harvey. That gentle-
man, however, without hesitation promised his
co-operation ; and immediately placed his yacht in
such a position as to enable her four small pieces
of cannon to bear on the streets, and he armed his
crew with muskets, swords, and pistols. He after-
wards landed, examined the town in order to see
the points by which the Druses could enter; he then
caused the women, children, and the more valuable
portion of the property to be placed in safety ; and
had certain points occupied by his men, taking
other measures of defence. All this gave confidence
to the peaceable part of the population, and over-
awed that which was suspected of connivance with
the Druses. The latter were told by their spies
that an English vessel of war was in the port, that
English troops had been landed; and they, in con-
sequence, abandoned their projected attack on the
town, and went away."

PARIS, JULY 17.

The Moniteur contairs the following despatch
from the French naval commander in the Levant :

" BEYROUT, JULY 11.

" The attack of the Druses on the Christians
commenced on the evening of the 9th, when seve-
ral men were killed and many women carried off

ror the harems.

"It is said that the Consulates were burned
down, with the exception of the English Consulate.
The French, Russian, and Greek consuls took re-
fuge in the house of Abdel Kader.
" The attitude of the Turkish authorities was
indecisive, and rather injurious than useful to the
Christians.

" 3,000 Turkish soldiers arrived today. The
fears of the Christians are redoubled, and the Com-
missioners Vely and Namick are expected with

impatience."
The Ittoniteur announces that the project of law
for the purchase of the canals has been adopted.

ROME, JULY 14.

The Pope in a Consistory held to-day pronounced
an allocution energetically protesting against the
Piedmontese Government, on account of the arrest
and condemnation of the Bishops of Pisa, Imole,
Faenza, and Piacenza, approving the conduct of
these bishops, and designating the annexation of
the Duchies and the Legations to Piedmont as an

usurpation.
Yesterday the French Ambassador had a leng
audience of his Holiness.

The two Neapolitan Ministers charged with the
special mission to Turin will also proceed to Paris

The Patric of Monday contains the following :
" According to the latest news from Beyrout the
state of things in Syria continues to be of the

" A French vessel had been sent to Latakia and
was obliged to take position within firing distance
of the town in order to restrain the fanatical portion
of the inhabitants.

" It was asserted that information had been re-

TIIB ARMY.

The examination of officers candidates for admis-
sion to the Stair College commenced yesterday
morning at the Royal Hospital, Chelsea, before
Major-Gen. Rumley, Vice-President ; Major-Gen.
Portlock, and the other members of the Council of
Military Education. The examination will extend
over 8 days, terminating on the 24th inst. There
are about 30 officers candidates.
The Ist and 2d battalions of the Grenadier Guards
are to be inspected by H.R.H. the Duke of Cam-
bridge on Thursday next in Hyde-park.
The proceedings and finding of the General
Court-martial which assembled at Chatham garrison
a few weeks since for the trial of Captain Henry
George Savage, commanding the 33d company of
Ro3 al Engineers, having been approved by her
Majesty, were promulgated to the officers of the
Royal and Indian Engineers at Brompton-barracks
yesterday. The charges on which Captain Swage
was tried were for having, on the 21st May, know-
ingly sent in the morning state of the 33d company
of Royal Engineers, addressed to Col. Sandham,
and also some passes for the men of his company,
as well as an application for leave for himself,
falsely signed with his name, the false signatures
having been attached by Lieut. Harvey, by pri-
soner's directions ; for having absented himself
from the issue of bread and meat, and also failed
to attend parade on the morning or the 21st of
May ; and for having falsely stated to Lieu-
tenant-Colonel Ross, when questioned by that
officer, that he did not know he was on duty
on the day in question. Lieutenant E. Har-
vey, R.E., has also been placed under arrest with
Captain Savage, and has been in eustody.ever since,
without having been brought to trial, both officers
having been in confinement since the 22d of May.
At 9.30 a.m. yesterday the whole of the Royal and
Indian Engineers were assembled in the officers'
mess-room at Brompton barracks by order of Major-
General Eyre, when Capt. Savage and Lieut. Har-
vey having been brought into the room, General
Eyre informed both those officers that they were
released from custody and would return to their
duty, at the same time handing them their swords.
Captain Savage at once took the command of his
company. The finding of the Court has given very
general satisfaction to the officers of the garrison.

There were a few books opened on the Nottingham Han-
dicap, for which Syringe was installed favourite, 2 to 1
being the highest offer against him ; 6 to 1 was taken about
Eskdale, and 7to 1 against Nosegay. For the Goodwood
Stakes, Gridiron was first backed at 9 to 2 ; but as many
of the bookmakers were anxious to lay against him, towards
the close 9to 1 was freely offered. During the same time
Tocher was steadily supported at 9 to 1 ; and 10 to 1 was
taken against Satellite. There were offers to take 100 to
7 about Rattlebone, and one gentleman coming to the rescue
of Stapleton was accommodated with 200 to 7, and then was
quietly asked if he would have 500 to 5 more. Closing

UONDOS : Printed' arid Published by MURDO YOUNG,

THE SUN, LONDON', TUESDAY EVEXING, JULY 17, 1860.

has been excerpted by us from Dr. CHARLES '
MACKAY'S new weekly organ, The London Review,
a publication already assuming a distinguished
position amongst the most important of our con-

temporaries.
At the very outset of his argument the political
reviewer shows clearly enough how in the fewest
words a wholesale truth may at once be arrived at.
It is when he remarks as bluntly as accurately
that " the most scandalous instance of a political
swindle which has recently come before the notice
of the public, took place three months ago in
Savoy and Nice." In proof of the literal accuracy
of which assertion it is at once added by the writer
who is thus absolutely writing by the book—(the
blue-book) :—" The blue-books teem with protesta-

tions upon the part both of the French and Sar-
dinian Governments : first, that the transfer of these
provinces was never contemplated ; secondly, that
it should only take place ;with the consent of the
Great Powers ; and, thirdly, that the population in-
terested should be consulted, and an oppor-
tunity allowed them for the " free expression
of their opinion upon a subject of such
deep importance." Yet, as the London Review goes
on to assert, " Six months before the first of these
assarances was given, the Treaty of Plombiers, by
which the transfer of the two provinces was
negotiated, had been. signed !" For the rest
, we refer our readers to as much of this

very vigorous and impressive argument as
we have been able to find room for in our impression
of this evening. It is an argument which—
as may be recognised even from these fragmentary
portions of it—does full justice alike to the despic-
able duplicity of the French Government, and to
the heroic attitude assumed in opposition to its
lawless proceedings by the Federal Government of
Switzerland.

IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT

HOUSE OF COMMONS.—(Tffis I)AY.)
The SPEAKER took the chair shortly after 12 o'clock.

PRIVATE BUSINESS.
The Lords' amendments to the liayling Railway Bill
were considered And agreed to.
EPSOM AND LEATIIERHEAD RAILWAY.
On the motion for the consideration of the Lords' amend-
ments to this bill,
Sir W. GALL-WAY objected to those amendments on
three grounds. In the first place they would create a new
description of preference shares, they would offer temp-
tations to directors to abuse their powers, and they would
afford facilities in dealing with preferential stock that would
be injurious to the interests of shareholders. For instance,
directors might expend money on other purposes than
paying their debenture debt or their preference share-
holders.

Mr. MASSEY considered that if this question was dis-
cussed at all, it should be in a full house.
The amendment was negatived, and the amendments

were considered and agreed to.

ATOILETTE REQUISITE for the SPRING.—
Among the many luxuries of the present age, none ctn
be obtained possessing the manifold virtues of OLDRIDGE'S
BALM of COLUMBIA. If applied to the roots and body of
the hair it imparts the most delightful coolness, with an
agreeable fragrance of perfume. It also, at this period of the
season, prevents the hair from falling off, or, if already too
thin or turning grey, will prevent its further progress, and
soon restore it again. Thole who really desire to have beau-
tiful hair. either with wave or curl, should use it daily. It is
also celebrated for strengthening the hair, freeing it from
scurf, and producing new hair, whiskers, and moustaches.
Established upwards of 30 years. No imitative wash can
equal it. Price 3s. ed., 65., and Ils. only. C. and A. OLD-

THAMES.

EMBEZZLEMENT BY A TRAVELLER COMPLICATED
ACCOUNTS.—George Frederick Aldridge, aged 26, of
29, Queen-street, Stepney, commercial traveller, was
brought before Mr. Yardley, charged with feloniously
embugaling various sums of money he had received for and
on account of Mrs. Charlotte Armstrong, -china, glass,
and earthenware dealer, of 8, Cock-hill, Ratcliri.
It appeared from the evidence of Mrs. Armstrong, a most
respectable woman, who is a widow, and has been estab-
lished in business in Ratcliff nearly half a century, that
the prisoner had been in her service as traveller up to the
13th of January, when he left her, having previously re-
ceived a month's notice. His salary was £1 per week with
breakfast, supper, and lodging, and she always paid his
out-door expenses when he came home sober. Since the pri-
soner had quitted the service of the prosecutrix, she had
demanded payments of outstanding bills for goods delivered
to several customers, and ascertained that the prisoner had
already beck paid. Mrs. Armstrong produced receipts to
the amount of £9 signed by the prisoner, and said he had
not accounted for the same. That was only a small por-
tion of the prisoner's defalcations. A witness whom she
had sued for the recovery of money which the prisoner led
her to believe had not been paid would not attend to give
evidence.

Mr. Yardley—Then he must be made to attend.
Stimpson, a police sergeant, No. 21 K, said that a cus-
tomer, named Lucas, of the Old Kent-road, who had paid
the prisoner money, which he had not accounted for to his
mistress, said the receipts given by the prisoner were in the
hands of his lawyer.
Mr. Yardley—They must be brought here, and, if neces-
sary, a summons must issue for the attendance of Lucas.

Mr. W. Kemp produced receipts for money paid to the
prisoner on behalf of Mrs. Armstrong, and which had not
been paid over to her.

Mr. Yardley said the receipts were not dated, which was
rather a loose mode of doing business.
Mrs. Armstrong—That was the prisoner's fault.
_ _

Mr. Yardley looked over Mrs. Armstrong's trade books,
and in answer to his questions she said the prisoner kept
the ledger while he was in her service, and her daughter
kept the other books.

The prisoner, in defence, said that Mrs. Armstrong knew
