.arD'ed associations for Protection Of
Property.
In consequence of Lord John Russel's
circular, offering arms to any associations
of house holders, who volunteered their
services to protect the lives and property of
the neighboring inhabitants, a communica-
ton was made from the Mayor of Bath to
his lordship, asking certain questions, to
which his lordship replied on Monday, that
the government did not contemplate associ-
ations of military character, and that there
fore they had not taken into their consider
alton points referred to of the uniform, or
choice of officers, by the members of such
association. His wish had been only TO
supply arms to well disposed persons in dis
tricts where illegal meetings had taken place,
and called upon the mayor to say if such
necessity existed at Bath. 1t was resolved,
at meeting held to hear Lord John Rts-
sel's communication, that the enrolment for
the association should continue.

WAR IN THE EAST.
War, it is rumored, has sprung up in Sy-
ria between the Sultan of Turkey and the
Pacha of Egypt. 1t has been the aim of
the European Powers to prevent this, but
the passions of the Turks and Egyptians
are too much reused to admit of peaceful
arbitration. Ambition-vulgar ambition
that ambition which inspires conquerers,
cares not for human life or human misery.
The Pacha of Egyptis fred with desire to
found kingdom; the Sultan is reluctant'to
part with what once formed portion of
his empire: and in this contest millions of
human beings must be subjected to the hor-
rors of war. 1t is difficult TO foresee the
part likely to be taken by the French and
English Government in this emergency
Russia will, of course, fan the fame. OF
the fact that collision has taken place be-
tween the Egyptian and Turkish armies
there can be little doubt, tidngs having ar
rived from two sources. 1t seems to have
arisen from the approach of the Turkish
army under Hafz Pacha, to the Syrian
frontier, but whether the collision is seri-
Gus, slight, or accidental remains yet to be
seen.
We learn from our correspondent at Tou.
Ion, that considerable activity prevails in
the arsenal of that port, and that all the
workmen are in full employ. Order had
been received by the Telegraph for several
vessels to repair to Levant. 1t was stated
at Toulon, that the Mediterranean squadron
would be composed of l l ships of the line,
with six frigates, and and ten corvettes or
brigs. 1t was supposed that the squadron
would be commanded by Vice Admiral,
and that it would form two divisions, one TO
watch the Turkih fleet, and the other to OBJ
serve the Egyptian squadron. Our cores
pondent intimates that Sir Robert Stepford
would probably ask for reinforcement of
English squadron in the Levant, so that the
combined English and French squadrons
might amount to so sail the force which the
combined Russian and Turkish feet would
