The mails from Calcutta arrived at Suez on the Ist, and those from Bombay-on the 3d, and the Indu s ancl Valetta both leave Alexandria this day with these mails for Southampton and Marseilles. Said Pasha, being anxious to conciliate the popu lation of Egypt, is gone to the fair at Tantah in the Delta, which is now open, mid, in order to impress upon their minds his visit to the tomb of the famous saint buried there, he took with him about 12,000 troops, consisting of cavalry, infantry, and artillery. These soldiers crossed the Nile by two bridges of boats thrown over the river at Cafr el Ais, and- the Viceroy himself actively superintended every move ment, making himself hoarse by shouting out his orders and swearing at the nien and officers, and this notwithstanding that he has generals in in fantry, artillery, and cavalry, who, in his presence, sunk into insignificance. One General of the Im perial Guard was deprived of his rank just after crossing the river, on account of some deficiency in the appearance of regiment. Cavalry, artillery, and infantry were made to take the line of road from the Nile to Tantah by the railway, and a train being on its way back met the troops, and a scene of terrible confusion among the horses occurred. Notwithstanding the prohibition of slavery throughout the Ottoman dominions it is still car ried on in Egypt, and numerous slave-dealers, with =pie stocks of slaves, were to be seen exhibiting their wares at Tantah. The 10th Hussars left Cairo on the 26th, and are expected to arrive at Alexandria, a distance of 130 miles, to-day. They crossed the Nile by a bridge of boats made for the purpose a little above Rhoda Island, and most ample preparations were made by the Pasha's orders to insure their comforts on their march down, and supplies of fresh bread, butter, And milk were, among other things, sent to them daily. There was much drunkenness exhibited among the soldiers of the 10th Hussars, during their stay at Cairo, of nearly two months. By soma means or other—perhaps owing to the multiplicity of their wants, or their flippancy of manner—Said Pasha has been disappointed with them, and, although it is well known that he was anxious to inspect minutely all pertaining to the English cavalry, so as to introduce improvements in his own army, his Highness has kept quite aloof from them, and has not even asked to see the regiment. The first and second divisions of the 12th Lancers are at Cairo, awaiting the arrival of the remainder of the regiment. The Hon. Company's new steamer Assay e, which brought part of the second division of Lancers as far as Aden, broke down, and had to transship her cargo of men and horses to the Semi- ramis. The screw-steamer Etna arrived here from Con stantinople last week to convey the cavalry to the Crimea, as soon as Lord Raglan sends instructions to that effect. The Simla and three or four other steamers are expected for the s ame . purpose. The Rev. W. W. Ewbank, rec tor of Everton, near Liverpool, died about two da3s' journey from Mount Sinai while on his way to Jerusalem by the desert. Mr. and Mrs. Ewbank, accompanied by the Rev. Mr. Skinner, one of the curates of St. Bar nabas, Pimlico, left Cairo on the sth of March, for Mount Sinai, and on the way Mr. Ewba nk was attacked with dysentery, which continued upon him without intermission for 14 days, until he died. Bishop Gobat, of Jerusalem, h a s announced his intention of coming to Alexandria to consecrate the new Protestant church on th e 25th of April, St. _ rk's day, by which Lame the church is to be eallod.

The cotton ,market at Liverpool on Saturday closed tamely and steadily, and prices were un changed. The sales were estimated at 6,000 bales, comprising 5,000 American (1,000 of which were taken on speculation), 150 Bahia at 6d. to 61{1., 200 Egyptian at 54d. to 70. ; 500 Surat at 3d. to 4:1. ; and 140 Saa Lilatuls at ls. to Is. Ed. per lb. The Railway share market was quiet, and prices tend downwards. In their last monthly circular Messrs. Sturge of Birmingham state : " With the exception of a few days' frost has con tinned during the whole of the past month, and not withstanding the sun is becoming powerful in the day the nights are still so cold that vegetation has made scarcely any progress, and the present is one of the latest springs we ever remember. It has been ascertained that on some light soils in places where the ground was not covered by snow the young wheat plant has been so greatly injured that the land will have to be either resown or ploughed up, and a spring crop substituted ; —but we believe that these cases are not numerous, and there is nothing yet to show that the growing crop is generally at all unpromising. The supply of wheat from our farmers continues liberal, and quite equal to the wants of millers, who generally pre fer holding as little stock as possible. There has not been much fluctuation in price, though our present quo tations are rather lower than at the commencement of last month. We have had an almost entire cessation of foreign imports, and the drain upon the English crop has been consequently so great that we think even in the event of a speedy conclusion of peace with Russia, our present prices will probably be nearly maintained until after next harvest, since large supplies from the Danube and the Black Sea could not arrive until after that time. The last quotations from New York are considerably above those current in this country for fine wheat ; therefore there can be no pros pect of our receiving much grain from the United States during the spring and summer, except it be at high rates. In the Baltic the price has rather given way, and after the navigation opens we may have some quantity from thence, unless a demand should spring up from France ; and there appears an increasing probability that the remaining stock in that country will barely supply their wants until the new crop comes to market." The steamer with the United States mail has not arrived yet. In the advices from the Continent political affairs are principally treated of. At Madrid the Ministers were so much harassed that two or three of them were most anxious to resign. The ques tion of allowing Protestant worship was still most i.)O intolerantly treated, and if the Earl of Clarendon 10 should disapprove the course taken by Lord How- ,22 den the latter will resign. .M. Luzuriaga St. had intimated that not more than twenty 8t5,,, persons could be permitted to assemble together st. for other than Catholic worship, but it was hoped 50 St • the Cortes would take a more enlightened view. 2 5 Lord Howden is said not to have been more suc- 1)0 cesful with regard to Cuba, where a c ard of resi- 2„ dence conferring certain privileges is only given to 20 foreigners professing the Catholic religion, and the . 44.; authorities at Madrid affirm that as this is a Colo- 50' nial law they are unable to interfere. St. 16 Accounts from Vienna state that as the numbers 16 present at the Conference were on one occasion 8 found to be 13, Riza Bey, the Drago man to Arif st. Effendi was induced to leave. It is not said with 25 whom this superstitious feeling arose, supposing g the story to be founded in fact. St. In public securities this morning there has been no particular change in prices, the speculators remaining inactive, and being anxious to avoid dealing until after the announcement of the amount and form of the new loan. The political intelli gence from Vienna and other parts still excites great uncertainty, and is to-day not so favourably interpreted upon the whole. Still, with the loan once negotiated, there are many who consider an improvement in prices probable unless Rus sia decidedly breaks off, and the war continues. Consols have been 90i to 90i for money, and 90a to 91 for account. The New 3 per Cents. are 891 to 90 , and the Reduced Annuities, 89k to 89k. India Bonds are 14s. premium ; Exchequer Bills, ss. to 10s. premium, and the Bonds, 99/. Foreign Stocks have been quiet, for the same reasons as have influenced the English securities. Turkish Bonds have fluctuated between 72i and 73. Spanish Three per Cents. aro firm at 361, the Deferred at 17 to 181, the Passive at 4, and the Certificates at si. Portuguese Three , per Cents. are marked 39 to 39i. Mexican 21, Dutch 2k per Cents. 622, and the 4 per Cents. 91 to 91g.

The Rev. Mr. Goodchild and Mr. Fothergill were ap pointed scrutineers. Forty-one numbers were extracted from the wheel, and 18 numbers will be . also added to the register of rights by date of membership, more than 1,600 shares having already acquired the privilege of taking lots on valuable estates by seniority. Mr..Gru nersen, the secretary, announced to the shareholders that the whole of the Old Ford Estate, Middlesex, bad been sold by the society, and that premiums as high as 20 guineas per plot bad already been obtained by the fortu nate allottees. The secretary added that the allot ment of the estate in the M4vern-billt., Worcestershire, and of the estate at Alford, in Leicestershire, would take place In the 25th inst. ; thus carrying out the principle on which the Conservative Land Society was fuunded, of making purchases, in turn, in every county. The 27th public drawing was fixed for the 12th of May. No less than 10,830 501. shares had been taken,- and the executive committee were actively engaged in negotia tions for the acquisition of somb.important estates both in town and country. In the meanwhile prepayations were being made for the early distribution among the shareholders of the estates at Tunbridge Wells, and go i n g on on the R ) u nd- h ill Park Estate, Bri g hton, Hounslow ; a nd in consequence of the rapid budding now the third portion of the property would probably soon be offered for allotment. Numerous applications having been made to the board, the extension of the society's operations load was wiger deliberation. 20 20 10 10 St. 10 St. 25 10 5 20 20 20 20 20 iOO 20 20 6 20 20 50 50 100 100 20 50 20 25 25 St. 20 St. S ti ARE MARKETS.

The quantity of English wheat arrived fresh up to our n tarket to-day, coastwise and by land carriage, was on a v ery limited scale ; however, the show of samples was s, Mall. The demand, however, for all kinds was on a very i: 'active state, aed, in some instances, the quotations had a downward tendency, compared with Monday last; the fall it t value being from is. to 2s. per quarter, at which much d ifficulty was experienced in effecting a clearance. There was scarcely any inquiry fur foreign wheat —the I; °ports of which continue on a very moderate scale, n svertheless importers were firm in their demands, and la to rates were mostly supported. For boating cargoes there was scarcely any demand, bt te• we have no alteration to notice in their value. T 'he supply of English barley was moderate ; of foreign lin ti led.

From our own grazing districts the re ceipts of beasts fresh up this morning were very mode ra te, but their general quality was prime; indeed, scarcely al 7 inferior breeds were in the market. As the attendance of buyers was large, the beef trade ruled brisk, at an ad vr ince in the quotations realised on Monday last of quite 2e 1 per 81bs, and a clearance was speedily effected. The bi ist Scots realised quite 5s per Blbs. The arrivals from Norfolk, Suffolk, Essex, and Cam 13] idgeshire were 1,900 Scots and short horns; from other p. irts of England, 400 of various breeds; and from Scot la .nd, 260 horned and polled Scots. There was only a limited show of sheep, the general w eight and condition of which were by no means first-rate.

Ito SPORTING NOTES. NEWMARKET AND• I'ORK. The old business routine was scary varied at head. quarters. It regulated the supply of sport, and the pro ceedings were conducted in accordance o with it. One innovation was, however, made in the ..construction of what was intended to be an improved • -"telegraph" by the Judge's box for the display of the wintrOg numbers. A. more clumsy and unwieldy contrivanet, however, was never witnessed. The only actual 'improvement which has been made at Newmarket is in the erec tion of the really elegant and commodious 'Sub scription Room, but for this accommodation the public are more indebted to private enterprise than to the Jockey Club. Still matters are about to mend at Newmarket, certain measures of re form are under consideration, and I am credibly in formed that they . will be now speedily adopted. The projected removal of the Ring is shortly to be com menced, and I trust that, while the authorities are about it, they will have the enclosure paved, in order that the pain and annoyance which were experienced last week 'from the dust may not be again repeated. The sporting incidents were many and varied, but they produced no decided effect on speculation. The most important encounter was perhaps for the Colum n Stakes. That Habena won that event with evident ease, despite the marks of the "prickers," which were seen on her side, is unquestionable. Little Bonnie Morn, who pulled up lame on Monday, after sweating, ran with much gameness. The accident which occurred to the grey has been variously described. I believe, however, that the correct version of the story is that he twisted his shoe, and somewhat severely pricked his foot. The result of the race for the Column caused the further ad. Vance of Dirk Hatteraick in the Derby betting, that horse, it will be remembered, having defeated Habena by half a length for the Ham Stakes at Goodwood. Judging from the noise which Virago and Acrobat made on passing the post in the race for the Port Stakes both these animals are confirmed roarers. The Newmarket Handicap merely requires notice from the accident which betel Crown Pigeon, and the subsequent objection which was made by Wells, the rider of Dr. O'Toole. The rumours which I referred to in my notes despatched from Newmarket on Monday last relative to the owner of " the Pigeon" hav ing been forestalled in the market were founded in truth, and not until the morning of 'the race was all uncertainty as to the horse's starting removed. Her cules, in whom his stable placed no faith, won easily. Crown Pigeon, whilst running second, fell over the rope s within a few strides of the chair, thus enabling ray "pick," Dr. O'Toole, to obtain second honours. Had " The Tumbler" ran straight and " kind," it is question aYe whether he could have snatched the victory from Hercules. The course adopted by Wells in lodging an objection against the winner was impolitic and unad vised, and the win-tye, or wrangle principle which it in volved, was very properly discouraged by the stewards. Indeed he had no reasonable pretext for the protest which he entered. The running of Quince excited sus picion, but in my opinion the horse was fairly beaten on his merits. They who have read my notes will, I am sure, acquit me of any intention to conceal any instance of wrong doing connected with the turf, for I am always the first to expose malpractices, and not, I hope, the last to endea vour to remove unwarrantable suspicions. A better or more honest jockey than Tom Cliff never crossed a saddle, and it would be unjust to cast any imputation upon his character. In the " notes" on the Newmarket Handicap, which wero published in The Sun of Monday last, was the fol lowing remark :—" The winner will, in my opinion, be either Dr. O'Toole or Crown Pigeon." But for the un unexpected appearance of a little -thought of outsider my selections would have run first and second. St. Hubert encountered strong 6 - ppcisition during ths week. For both the Two Thousand and Derby the hostility which was displayed against him was steady and deter mined, and caused his retrogression ; still my faith in his ability to win the first-mentioned event at least is not destroyed. The Great Northern Gathering at York will corn. mence to-morrow. An attractive programme has been published, and the sport seems likely to be satisfactory, both in character and quantity. The visit of the Em- peror and Empress of the French will, however, doubt. less, produce a diminishing effect on the attendance of gentlemen and aristocratic turfites. The unlucky little King of Trumps may give his owner "a turn" by winning the Craven Stakes, but my Present fancy is for Scherz. Of the twenty-seven nominations to the Zetland Stakes, Flyaway is unglue ; tionably most worthy of notice. The support conceded to Vandal for the Great Nor thern Handicap unequivocally attests the growing con fidence of. hie - partisans. The horse is most leniently handicapped, and if he be only a moderate horse he ought to be capable of achieving an easy victory. It is said that Little Joe Rogers will ride him. Neville will doubtless run respectably, but I shall be scarcely pre pared to witness his success. Fandango, despite his extra weight-41bs. more than he carried for the Metro. politan—must not be•slightingly regarded. He proved himself at Epsom to be a horse of indisputable merit, and he will be a most dangerous opponent over the Knavesmire. Crown Pigeon is somewhat fancied, albeit the " currish " display which he made at New. market renders it dangerous to place implicit faith in him. Much uncertainty apparently exists relative to Wild Huntsman and his party's intentions. This horse I believe to possess considerable racing ability, and should he be actually intended I shall expect to see him obtain a very forward, if not the foremost, position in the race. St. Clare has been banked, and. will dotlbtless figure not ingloriously. He, how- ever, is too small to be trusted. The "power of money " induces me to regard Vandal with some par. tiality ; albeit I have a well-founded distrust of " darh horses." Report states that Vandal was tried wit Hobby Horse at even weight, and won. Should, haw ever, the calculations of his party be upset I shall look to one of the undermentioned to " pull me through" :•-•-• WILD iIIiNTSMAN, FANDANGO, or CROWN PIGEON. The Exile of Erin I shall reserve for a "cock-boat." The race for the Spring St. Leger will be somewhat interesting if Saraband enters the lists. Jack Shep. pard may be required "at home." Fandango's " per. formance " will be materially regulated by the " order of running." Saraband is, therefore, the only animal I can select with safety. I shall not hazard a guess about the result of the race for the Biennial Stakes. The lot which comprises the winner of the Londes borcugh Cup will, perhaps, consist of Vindex, Homo. dar, Catherine Parr, and The Medway. When " the numbers are up" my readers may take their choice. Until after the race for the Great Northern it will be difficult to make a satisfactory " selection" for the Fly ing Dutchman's Handicap. On paper, the chances of Ivan, Jonathan Martin, Fandango, and Crown Pigeon _ seem noteworthy. The running of the three last men. tioned will, h owever, materially depend upon their per. formance for the Great Northern. April 16. A FRESH MAN. ARRIVALS ♦T YORK.
