A REUTER telegram from Beirut, published in the Timer, states that on April 10th there died there at an advanced age a former physician to the Sultan Abdul Aziz, an Englishman named Temple Bey, who is stated to have been a relative of the Archbishop of Canterbury. Originally a surgeon in the British army, he entered the Turkish service after the Crimean war, and became one of the favourite medical attendants of the Sultan. On the death of Abdul Aziz, Temple Bey was sent into the interior of Asia Minor, and afterwards to Aleppo and Damascus. Finally he came to Beirat, where he died almost unknown. He was supposed by the Turks to be an Ottoman subject, for he took pains to conceal his nationality.
