SYRIA.

Under the head of " Latest Intelligence" la
Patrie publishes the following, a summary of which
has already appeared :

" A despatch from Beyrout, dated the 9th inst., announces
that Filed Pasha had arrived at Mokhtara on his return
home from an expedition against the Druses of the Plain,
who had attacked two Maronite villages and ill•treated
the inhabitants. The Druse Chief who commanded the
attacking party was arrested by orders of the Pasha, and
immediately executed. This severe example has intimi-
dated the enemies of the ➢laronites, but new reprisals were
feared.

" At the above date the French squadron had sailed to
watch the coast, and the English squadron was at anchor
before Beyrout, on its return from St. Jean d'Acre. The
squadron consisted of the Queen, Renown, Mars, and Han-
nibal, the latter bearing the flag of Rear• Admiral Mundy,
and the steam frigate Amphion. Two Turkish frigates
were also at anchor in the roads."

The following vessels had arrived as prizes at
New York :—the Lynchburg schooner, from Rio
for Richmond, with coffee, and the H. M. Johnson,
from New Orleans, with cotton, hides, &c. The
District Attorney had filed a libel against the ship
North Carolina. Parties interested in the prize
bark Octavia had received information from Wash-
ington that the Secretary of the Treasury had given
an order for the release of that vessel.
By letters received from Panama we learn that
Capt. Ritchie, of the Federal frigate Saranac, had
taken measures to prevent privateering in the
Pacific.
From the Federal blockading squadron off the
Southern coast we learn that the Brooklyn had
captured the bark H. J. Spearing, from Rio Janeiro
for New Orleans, with 120,000 dols. worth of
coffee. It was sent to Key West. The Picayune
of the Ist inst. says that the steamers Bremen
and Everhard, from Bremen, and General Mira-
men, from Havannah, were ordered away from
Pass l'Outre by the Brooklyn. The Powhattan
captured the Mary Clinton, from Charleston for
New Orleans, off the Pass on the 31st, with a full
cargo of rice, peas, &c. Gen. Twiggs has beet. put
in comjnand of the military department of Loui-
siana. Capt. Poore, of the Brooklyn, blockading
Balize, was visited on the 28th, under a flag of
truce, by the captains of several British and French
vessels now on the bar, and Capt. Poore was asked
if he intended to prevent the departure of the ves-
sels then on the bar belonging to English and
French owners, and loaded with freight for foreign
ports. The New Orleans Delta says :
" Poore declared that he should certainly prevent
their departure or seize them if they attempted to
run the blockade. As their ships are all heavily
laden with valuable cargoes, including 2,000
hogsheads of tobacco, shipped by the French
Consul on account of the French Government,
and several hundred on account of Rothschilds
and other foreign houses, such a decision naturally
produced considerable excitement in this city. The
British and French Consuls took the matter in
hand, and by telegraph caused Captain Poore to
understand that they would not permit such non-
sense, and that the British and French squadrons
would be here in a few days to protect the interests
of their Governments. The last news from Balize
was that Poore had backed down, and the ships are
all going out."
Captain Porter, of the Federal steamship Pow-
hattan, had replied as follows to an inquiry made
by the British Consul at Mobile :
" United States steamship Powattan, May 28.
" Sir,—ln answer to your communication of the
27th of May, 1861, I beg leave to inform you that
British ships will be permitted to use towboats, or
any other means to get to sea, and that the tow-
boats will not be molested by us in the discharge of
their duty in so towing British ships. I beg leave
to add that the 28th is, I believe, the day fixed for
rigid blockade, but, as I am only here temporarily,
pgoirvaertilhy
and without special instructions, i
e
most liberal construction to the order. It would be
better if it can be done without injury to British in-
terests to get the ships to sea as soon as practicable.
" Very respectfully your obedient servant,
" DAVID D. PORTER, Commanding.
" Mr. James Magee, Acting Consul, Mobile."
The movements of the Confederate forces were
'nvolved in mystery. Advices from Virginia state
hat on the death of Jackson (who shot Ellsworth
at Alexandria) flags were hoisted half-mast high in
various Confederate cities, and that Governor Let•
cher had sent for the family of Jackson who would
be provided for by the State, and a monument would
be erected to his memory.
There were reported to be 5,000 unemployed

of America, except through the seaports of the said

the marshals and revenue officers of the said Con-
federate States to prevent all violations of this act.
Every person violating or attempting to violate this
law will be confined or imprisoned, besides losing
all the cotton attempted to be exported."

Mrs. Anderson's concert is always one of the
conspicuous events of the musical year, both from
her own reputation as an accomplished pianist and
from the judicious selection of the music. Yester-
day afternoon proved no exception to the rule. The
cencert, which was given in St. James's Rail, was
attended by a large and brilliant audience, who
appeared highly gratified by the entertainment.
The orchestra, which is usually the case at this
lady's concerts, was extremely effective. Mrs.
Anderson's own performances are too well known
to need criticism. She displayed her accustomed
brilliancy and taste in a selection from " Hummers
Concerto in A minor," which was most efficiently
rendered and loudly applauded. She also played
Ferdinand Ries's arrangement of National Swedish
airs, which was likewise very well received" Herr
Strauss played Ernst's fantasia for the violin
I on the March and Prayer in Otello with unusual
excellence. The vocal portion of the concert was
also good. Mdlle. Titiens, who was prominent
Lamucoin.egziatheßsionrgoe.ar,s, g„acveenat,lele airbbeerot,ifuland
sangfrom
`'The Last Rose of Summer" with so much taste
and expression that she obtained an encore. The
same honour was accorded to Signor Giuglini's per-
formance of the famous Ah ben si mio,"from the
Trovatore. The duet" Sulfa Tomba," sung by
him and Mdlle. Titiens was also much applauded.
Madame Rieder displayed her accustomed brilliancy
in an elaborate air from Auber's Serment.

S; and Mr. Patey, Mr.
Tennant, and S;gnor Dell Se die were also very
effective in the several parts allotted to them. The
members of the Orpheus Glee Union attended, and
sang two part songs with so much spirit and success
as to obtain a general encore for the last one, Mr.
Hutton's "The Runt is up." There were several
other pieces, and the concert may altogether be
classed among the best and most successful of the
Season.

EXTRAORDINARY LANDSLIP ON THE SEVERN
VALLEY RAILWAY.—A very extraordinary slip has been
for some time going on near a place called the Wren's Nest
on this line of railway. It consists of several acres of land
and underwood, which have separated from the main body
on either side. It has become perfectly locomotive, and
is travelling by night and day in the direction of the river.
The weight of the embankment and the pressure from be-
hind have lifted up the bed of the Severn at that point
converting it into thy land, and driving the stream into a
narrow channel against the opposite shore. A slip on the
side of a deep cutting at the Chestnut Coppice, opposite
Apley, has also talfe4pl9 within the last tow days.
