A Gentleman who has lately landed here from Egypt, states, that the Pacha of that country is fitting out a large force, comprising sixty-five vessels of war, among which are two sail of the line, and several very large frigates. • The large ships belong to the Grand Seignior, which have been sent to Alexandria, to be Narpped at the expene of the Pacha of Egypt, with a view of draining his coffers, and to prevent him from declaring himself independent of the Porte--a fear of which has for a long time prevailed in the Divan. It is also wished that the said Pacha should go to sea in one of the line-uf battle ships, but he is too wary to be 'wrapped by this snare. He intends, he says, to go to sea with the fleet, but it is in a most beautiful yacht, built for him lately at Trieste, which sails uncorn• wooly well, and in which, surrounded by his own panizans, he can always secure to himself a needful retreat from his 1 $ faithful" allies the Turks. The objsct .to be accomplished by this fleet is, to take on hoard several thousand Arabs and other Egyptian solders, and endeavour to reduce Hydra. It is given out, however, that their first purpose is to destroy Lord Cochrane. he beautiful banks of the Nile are at pre sent the scene of great misery, arising from excessive, lazation on all produce, which is the only means the despot wh governs the country has of raising an in come, and which consists principally of COttoii, wheat and a coarse grain* called Dhora. The latter .article is sent to all the ports of Batbary, from Alexandria to the Straits of Gibraltar; the cotton is shipped to France and England, but as it does not realise so high a price as formerly, the Pacha has become considerably ides-- tient in his treasury. It appears probable, oetwithstands interhac has been said to the contrary. that this fleet will not leave Alexandria, the Pacha being afraid to leave the shores, le.t, in his absence, with so many troops, the disaffected Arabs may be induced to set up a Governor, and displace him. On Thursday afternoon the ship Marquis of Huntley, Captain W. Ascough, went past this port (Portsmouth) after landing passengers here, from New South Wales, whence she s.iled on the 10th of February, with a cargo of cedar, blue gum plants, Ye:nails, Zealand spars. spokes, oil, wool. salted hides. and three half•pipes of Colonial wine. Left at Sydney, the ships Grenada, Bro- thers, Bombay, add Cumberland. We regret to learn that the whaler, Three Sisters, Captain Duke, arrived at Sydney, on the 9th of February, in eleven days. front New Zealand, with accounts of the Wesleyan Mission statior at that island having been plundered of its vale 'abler, and the Missionaries and their families conveng to fiy from Whangaroon for their lives. The Rev. Mr. Turner, Mrs. Turner, and their three children, together with the Rev. Messrs. Hobbs and Stack, and Mr. L. Wade and wife, were conveyed to Sydney in the Three Sisters. The same ship also took .back _to Sydney, %ixty.six convicts, who had been put on board the brig Wellington, to be landed at Norfolk Island, and when within two days' sail of that destination, these desperate fellows rose upon the Captain, crew, and troops, whom they made prisoners, and took possession of the vessel, which they steered for New Zealand,where, fortunately, the Sisters was then lying, engaged in a whaling voyage. On their arrival off the Ray of Islands, Captain Duke discovered the state of the vessel. An action commenced between the crew (about thirty men) of the Sisters and the pirates, which lasted upwards of four hours, when the Wellington's mainmast was car ried away. Captain Duke, on this, neared the brig, and went alongside in a flag of truce. He entered into a parley with the pirates, assuring them, if they did not instantly surrender, he would go on shore, fetch off three or four hundred of the natives, and not leave one man alive. They accepted the Conditions, struck to the Sisters, and Captain Duke :had, by his resolution, the satisfaction of making a successful capture, after a • bloodless contest on his side. Four of the prisoners had fallen. The Wa'spite and Volage sailed from Sydney the 6th of Janoaty, for Valparaiso. Lady Brisbane (relict of the lamented Sit James Brisbane) and the two Misses Brisbane, were on board. Thi Success, Captain Ster ling, had sailed, with the Colonial cutter, Currency, in company, to form a settlement in King George's Sound. The settlement formed about three years since at Mel ville Island (in the Gulph of Carpentaria), with a view to open a commercial intercourse. with the Malays, had completely failed. The settlers, during two years and a h.lf, had never seen one Malay ; nor had they been able, om the hostility of the natives, to penetrate more than %miles imo the interior of the island, the natives being in the most savage state of barbarism, and all attempts to conciliate them proving abortive.

" your sentiment I" Sahuffor ikendeL It was a cold stormy night in December, and the green lags as they blazed and crackled on the Cotter's hear th, were rendered snore delightful, more truly comfortable, by the contrast with the ley showers of snow and sleet which swept against the frail casement, making all withoet cheerless and miserable. The Cotter was a handsome, intelligent old man, and afforded me much information upon glebes, and docks, and rural economy; while his sparse, a venerable matron, was bumming to herself some long since forgotten ballad; and industriossly twisting and twirling about her keg knitting needles, that promised soon to produce a pair of formidable winter hose. Their son, a stout, healthy yoking peasant of three-and-twenty, was sitting is the spacious chimney corner, sharing his frugal supper of bread and cheers with a large, shaggy sheep dog, who sat on his haunches wistfully watching every mouthful, and soap, snap, snapping, and dextrously catching every morsel that was cast to him. We were all suddenly startied,however, by his loud bark ; when, jumping op, he rushed, or rasher dew towards the door. " Whew! whew !" whistled the youth—" Whoy—what the dickens ails the., Harm r said he, rising and following him to the door to leers the cause of his alarm.

The lad threw it open — the dog brushed passed his in a instant, and his quick, abort, continuous yelping, etpressed his immoderate joy and recognition.

" Oh reyther!—eh! mother I"--exclaimed be, drawing them hastily on one side and whispering somet►ing in a low, and almost inaudible voice. The old woman raised her bands in supplication sad tottered to bar chair—while the Cotter, bursting out into a paroxysm of viobeot rage, clutched his sees arm, and iticlaimcd in a loud voice : " Make fast the door, babas thou'll net have my carat oe thee! —I tell 'ee.sbe sheet were hither I—No—never—sever—There's pain° in her breatiaa' will spurn her from me 1...
