Toe landholders are to pay various sums according to their holdings, and every public servant of whatever rank is to be mulcted in 20 tor cent. of his pay. By this arbitrary and ingenious operation the Maharajah will, it is said, though it seems incredible, put a cool 50 lam of rupees (5,000,0001. sterling) into his pocket. " There is no news from Oude, and it is.probably as well that there is not, according to the maxim or paradox, " Happy is the people whose annals are vacant." Mr. Coverley Jackson, of-the Reve nue Suddur Board of Agra, has been appointed to act as chief commissioner during the absence of Sir - James Outram. The ex King has arrived at Calcutta, but whether he will proceed fUrther on his way to the Court of St. James's and the Par liament of Ene,land seems at present uncertain. " We are told that there is some little - reason to apprehend further disturbances "among the Santals during the coming rains : but they must be few in number and significant in character if the accounts received from the district are to be depended upon. I am speaking now of a correspondent of the Delhi Gazette. According to this writer it is true that there are a few of the most notorious ringleaders of the insurrection still at large, with prima - on their heads—desperate men who, if caught, .:;have no thing but the gallows to expect, plundering and marauding whenever they can get an opportunity are only to be looked for at their hands ;_..but the race of Santals as a body have had quite. enough, and a little too much, of rebellion. Wages are levy, rice frightfully dear. They have no seed, nograin, no money, no cattle to plough with—in short, years must pass before they have recovered the lo ses they have brought upon themselves. The writer has spoken to hundreds of laboucors;,gtho, while/reely adinittiug that they wersa?itti'. iit - t"fies (Witioptlgasalejaeobit e plitasClisre that,. - Ten times the plu n d er they obtained Would not cover the least of their losses. They clehy that there was anything worthy of the name of organisation about the movewent, and are loud in derision of the intense cowardice of. the Bengalees--in fact, ascribe the spread and protracted duration of the - revolt to that single characteristic of the inhabi- - tants of the plains. With the exception of the few persons abovetneutioned, all the ringleaders are in custody, including the murderers of Mrs. Thomas, Miss Pell, and other Europeans., " The. Assaye, steam-frigate, whose departure from this port for the Malabar coast to pick up Moplah couvic:s 1 mentioned in my last, has done her work and has distributed her criminal freight at the various gaols upon the coast. Some she took round to M alms, and when she arrived there her commanding officer found that his coming was most opportune, and that his vessel would he immediately made use of as a - transport. The 31st Native In fantry were at once p u t en hoard, and the Assaye sailed ; but whither it is difficult to say. All that the Madras papers have been able to discover is, that there is a slight disturbance in the northern division of the Presidency, in the neighbourhood of Vizagapatam. From the arsenal at the last named station 100,000 rounds of ammunition had been forwarded to the troops in the vicinity, and detachments of those regiments quartered in the neighbourhood had taken the field. By the time I write again probably something more may have become known respecting this mysterious move ment. • 1 heart out of reformers. Lord Canning, for instance, • may succeed in placing this public works' question . upon a rational basis. That great feat will not even, be known to the English people for three years. " One more word at the risk of wearying your readers. You, sir, have remarked ou the enormous proportion borne by the expenses of , collection to the revenue received. The public accounts bear out your statement ; but those accounts are known by every one in India to be delusive It is not in the power of any man, or any board, to say where the expenses of collection in India begin and end. The deduction serves only to conceal -the magni tude of our financial operations, The true way of making up Indian accounts is that long since adopted by men of business. Piace all the receipts en one side, and all the expenses, including those for collection, for pensions, for enams, fur temples, and for kinglets on the other, and compel the Go vernment to abandon the sicca rupee, and the ac couitts will be intelligible at a glance. " Matters connect e with education have of late attracted considerable attention. You will remem ber that the Court of Directors recently issued a despatch laying down wide and excellent principles of national education. A new department was con sequently organised ; a director-general was ap pointed, and large salaries were assigned to him and the inspectors. Committees were appointed to consider the plan of. au Indian University, and a system of vernacular instruction was again com menced. Above all, the principle of grants-in-aid to schools, whatever their religious teaching, was established. The latter plan was, of c ,ut s , the key of the whole, as , the only one which could 64courage private efforts and reconcile the preju dices of the three great creeds. The system has 3'i been in operation for a year. It . was lately -Otani clia ttat MI - tuna - imbue 'for' .i:tilitsiii.iiid_ 'WAS exhausted: - This sounded-well, until it was sud denly discovered that this 'sum' amounted to just 3,3601. a year. The salary of the direct Or-general ~a 4) is 3,0001. The amount wit! doubtless be increased, but the whole expenditure on education in Bengal turns out to be less than 80,0001. a year. Our population may be roughly estimated at 40,000,000. That Is, we have as yet allowed for the - education of the people a little less than two farthings a head a year.. The average cost .of vernacular education . is about 10s. a head a year. It might be reduced, • perhaps, to 65., but certainly not lower. There are 3,000,000 boys—for as yet we cannot educate the other 6,000,000—t0 be taught, and the cost there fore must be at the lowest 1,000,0001. sterling a That, year. sn is perhapa,impossible, but we do not yet spend—and, unless the Dome authorities again interfere in it, we are not - going to spend— a tithe of that amount. In the midst of • this the chief engineer of the Presidency, Colonel Goodwyn, who recently prePared au estimate - for building a bridge ever the Hooghly, but • calculated only the expense above the w a t e r line, has submitted a plan for a University building which will cost 200,0001. It will be rejected ; but the fact, for which I can vouch, illustrates the present defect in all our . schemes of education. The work is scarcely begun, and the Government is still unable to perceive that, if done at all, it must be on a scale commen surate with the necessities of the country. "Few occurrences of domestic interest have transpired within the fortnight. The King of °ride baa arrived in Calcutta, but we do not lionise de throned Princes. easier state of the bazaar ; discounts still rule high, for piece goods, chitties, as well :is hoondies, and. the same indisposition t 3 speculate continues. The excessive beat of the weather does not induce to exertion; and, in-addi tion to . the large amount still locked up .in opium, the bazaar is just now called on for about 20 lacs for the salt trade; still we think, otithe. whole, that matters do promise, impr vement ; the difficulty with capitalists all lies in the cne important question of what the aovern meat intend doing ; it is nOW piblicly stated that the expenditure on public works is being very crin4iderl , 4l)! ra inceck—a proof that our views as to the ability of th, ludian Treagury tO bear the large outlay previously sanctioned are-not far-from correct ; but the.main.pfdril rests upon the intention of the Guilt of Directilit to carr out their notice of the 28th of Febrtiiiry last, - that they will 'require to draw 4,000,000/, during the year 1856.57 : awl that apparently in al,liti.an t; the 1,500.0001 y.-t t-. draw on account of 1855-56, to c-nnplete ths 2,500,000/ previously notified as requited for that official year. Freights are perfectly stagnant, and we hardly know bow to qmite rates fairly ; ships arrive from Akyab under charter, and will have their lading, which the charterer, unable to procure but at an enormous sacri five, avails of all the lay days the charter gives, in hopes of a turn however `:light in his favour. Under these circumstances we hear of vessels being offered and re fusing 2,0001. to cancel their- charters; one captain, having comprornied with his charterer, bas accepted $lO for a tuls cargo to 13c,ston ; 'to which port the qu )ted rates are $l2 to $l3, hut with little doing and seeking vessels coubt•intly arriving. • INDIA. We (Times) have received private correspon denue and papers from Bombay to the 27th of May, and Calcutta to the 17th of May. Our Bombay correspondent writing on the 27th of May, says : "It may be remembered that lately, in default of more certain information regarding the proceed ing of the Ameer Dost Mahomed at Candahar and his relations with the Shazadah, or prince, Yusuf, at Herat, it was rumoured that the Dust and the usurping prince wore actually at war with each other, and that a desperate engagement had taken place near a town called Farah. This report though put forward with some confidence, and obtaining, as may be supposed, very general circulation, found little credit with those who coolly reflected upon the position of the Ameer at Candahar. To them it appeared impossible to conceive that within so short a time after the difficulties and perils to which he was exposed in his attempts to maintain himself in the principality of his brothers had becoire patent to all, he should have so far succeeded in eluding or conciliating, or repressing his enemies, and in consolidating his power, as to venture to denude Candahar of his ad herents and, at their head, to undertake an expe dition full of danger and of most uncertain issue. They who thus judged of the Dost and his proceed ings judged, as now with certainty appears, quite correctly. Intelligence down to the 21st of March has reached us from Candahar, and is by no means devoid of interest. It is perfectly clear that Dost Mahomed has far too much on his hands at pre sent to think of moving against Herat.

W a CHILD MURDER AT FINCEILH T.—Saturday information reached Mr. Wakley's office of the discovery of the both of a female child in the neighbourhood of the Spaniard Tavern, Finchley, wrapped in an old apron, and from it, appearance there c .uld be little doubt but that the wretched deceased had fallen a victim to foul play. ~V " 'The Government, seeing that by this conduct, de structive to the public peace, the Ameer Dost Mahomed Khan was about to overthrow the whole ccuntry of Khorassan, sent its troops to Herat, with orders that the Ameer should confine himself to Cahill, that he should relinquish his intention of marching upon Herat, and should not meddle with the affairs of that place or of Caudahar ; and that, in fine, the troops were to de fend Herat and to prevent all disorders in Khorassati." "I am not aware of any intelligence from Tehe• ran direct or from the Persian Gulf having reach ed Bombay since I last wrote. Another steam corvette has been despatched to the .Gulf, but merely to relieve one of those at present on the station. Her departure, however, has • not failed to attract the attention of those persons—and they form a tolerably numerous class—who still believe that the Indian Government, will have to send an army to the Gulf to - Ocoupy the ports, and possibly to advance upon the capital of the Persian empire. " But to return to the Ameer at Canda har. I confess to feeling an interest in the struggles of the old _chief, unscrupulous and am bitious as he may be, in which probably but few English readers will • participate ; • yet Surely the ultimate fate—and probably the last scene of his eventful life is not far distant —of a man of unquestioned ability.,; and a'ldress, who was once our foe, and a daring_ and gallant one— then foCa Whileuur prisoner, till set free to return to a capital in which fire and, desolation had fear fully avenged the blood of our fallen countrymen, and who is now our- ally 7 —caunot be unworthy of presage and of observation. ite Would . appear to have been, at the date of the last accounts, in a situation which would ic:;• th6 - utiermost that astute and fertile intellect, and that watchful and ready eye which have carried him safely !lirough the many perils of his long and chequered existence. The strife between himself and his nephews, who had all managed to escape front Caudahar, was daily be coming more and more embittered, and was likely at no great interval of time to break out into open war fare. Toe members of the dispossessed family— most of whom had originally fled to Herat and the Persians—had returned to the neighbourhood of Caudahar. There they were successfully busy in exciting the tribes to rise against the Ameer of Oahu]. Itahumdil Khan, the surviving chief of Caudahar, who had hitherto been detained in surveillance by his brother, the Dust, whil e hi s sons and nephews got away, had effected his escape, and, though closely pressed, had reached the country of the Ghilzyes, and had so effectually raised the popu lation as to render the road to Ghuznee almost im passable for adherents of the Ameer, thus interfering with the march of succours front Cabul. At that capital itself there were symptoms of disaffection, and there was no very friendly or cordial feeling between the Governor and Mahomed. Ameer, the Dost's sou, left in charge of his father's interests. Nor, as a matter of course, among so many stimu lants to insurrection, were those of religion and fanaticism wanting. The English alliance is thrown in the teeth of the Dust by the Mollahs of Cauda har. He is the friend of the infidel, and, as such, down with them. He is more than their friend, he is their obedient slave, and defiles himself by listen ing to an•l acting upon their interested and ever-to be loathed advice. It is they that have urged him upon Caudahar, and when he shall have brought under his rule all the hills and valleys of Affghan istan, it is they that will press him forward to the ruin of his people against Herat and the might of Persia. "To ;neat the internecine warfare which appeared nevitable the Dost was preparing , himself as best le could. Associated with hitn at Candahar were its favourite sons, Hyder Khau (his Envoy to us last year) and Mahomed Aslum khan. To au; merit their forces he and Hyder had reviewed the troops of the late chief of Candahar, and selected for their own service such men as they deemed likely to be most serviceable and most trusty. Moreover, the Governor of Cabul had received orders (I should mention that the news from Cabul comes down to the 30th of April) to raise from among the tribes of Kohistan 5,000 men, and to send them to Candahar. From each of two other districts he was required to obtain 2,000 men, and not to be sparing of force, if necessary, in getting wooruiti4. "But it is not only agekinut an open enemy in the field that the Dost has to prepare himself ; the danger of assassination has also to be provided against. Another plot against his life, and that a gunpowder plot, had been lately detected and evaded. One of his nephews—a son of the late chief—had, apparently in the most friendly way, placed a palace at the disposal of his uncle. When the house had received within its walls the Ameer, his sons, and his principal followers, it was to be blown into the air with gunpowder. But the old chief's intelligence was good, and he heard, iu time to avoid it, of the plot that was laid for his de struction. Three of the principal conspirators, among whom were the nephew and ringleader, were secured, and placed in close confinement. " This danger the Dost happily escaped, but he was fearful that his enemies having failed in overt attacks upon his life might have recourse to the insidious method of poisoning his food. So appre hensive was ho of this species of peril that he was said to have nominated Hyder Khan to superintend the cooking of his meals, and Mahomed Ashem to furnish him water. It can be no matter of wonder if the effect of these accumulated anxieties at his advanced ago has seriously damaged his health. By the accounts from Cabul he had been very ill, and the peaceful section of the people were regard ing with the greatest apprehension the possibility of his decease. The latest report at Cabul regard ing him was that he was willing to give up Canda- , liar and retire wi h his sons to his own city, pro vided the Caudahar chiefs will pay him annually a tribute equivalent to five lass of rupees. This proposition, if ma le, was perhaps the result of failing health. physical and intellectual. But here, and in the midst of his perplexities, the intelligence for the present leaves him. "On the Punjab frontier all is still, and from the North-West Provinces generally there is no news o f importance. At the capital of Gholab Singh, in Cashmere, a very considerable amount of valuable property, consisting chiefly of shawls and jewels, has been destroyed by fire—an event chiefly remarkable for the method by which the ' Sovereign proposes to reimburse him se lf. E ver y one of his subjectsis to contribute towards making " The first sod of the Bombay, Baroda, and Central India Railway was turned on the Ist inst. at Surat by Mr. Davies, of the civil service Mr. Ford, the engineer in charge, officiating. "Here the weather is the chief topic of conver sation. All over India have been storms, and we, with the south-west inonsooli impending, have not escaped them. You will hear from another pen of the gale or cyclone that has visited Calcutta, and, besides more serious damage, cost the lives of up wards of 1,000 crows. Here our storms have not been accompanied by much wind, but have rolled down in thunder from the hills. But the weather wise do not expect the real monsoon till the next spring tides, or about the 2d proximo. By great care, and by the energetic and early measures taken by Government, the water famine that we had so much reason to dread has-been staved off, and there is nt.t mach sickness in the B:tz tar. Every day • now, however, is of moment. The Water Com mittee have lost a valuable member, and the Go vernment an estimahle servant in the person 4 . , Major Criticksbank, of the Engineers, who died od Saturday of apoplexy following up.a a choleraic affection. _vlie was a most exceileel)fficer, .distiu• guisbed for ability, probity, and : t ,4rtesy, and is universally regretted. _ " The coasting trade has not yet closed, and the state of the Bombay markets has not materially altered. Money continues easy, and exchange has declined. Tile rate to-day is 2s 11d." Our Calcutta correspondent, writing on the 17th of May, says : "Public works are stopped. That is the an nouncement of the day, though it must not be in terpreted so widely as some similar announcements have been. The Government has suddenly reined up. All new works, costing more than 10, 4 )00 rupees, or 1,0001., have been prohibited pending a reference to the Court of Dims...tors. This measure does not proceed so much from financial distress as from the determination of Lord Canning to place the system upon a new and more rational basis. An account has just been transmitted home of our financial position. It, displays a large, and, as far as human foresight can be trusted, a permanent surplus'. But the enormous expenditure on new public works creates an apparent deficit. To charge these works to Cieaccount of revenue is as ridiculous as to place the cost of draining a farm to the work ing expenditure of one year. The money is, in fact, a sum raised by mortgage to be devoted to the im provement of the estate. The interest only, there fore, should be carried to the annual account ; our brilliant financiers have hitherto carried the prin cipal to the hopeless bewilderment of all men ex cept themselves. If the Government is resolved to make these improvements it must borrow money for them. The works are most of them produciive, and the only question to be considered is the expe diency and prudence of entering into such specu lations. This is the point submitted for the final consideration of the home Government. " In this country opinion is much divided as to the policy to be pursued. One party, which includes every official in Madras and a few in Bengal— holds that the British Government owes a debt to the people. It has built few roads, and no aque ducts. It has left rivers uncleared. and harbours unopened. The Madras Presidency has not at this moment one tolerably convenient harbour. They would therefore spend —say, 40 millions in reme dying this grievance, and trust to the returns of railways and the increased wealth of the country for the interest on that money. This party has. been strongly • backed by England and by a cry from all Europeans in the interior. Another sec tion, becoming gradually more powerful, hold that this expenditure is a mistake as yet. They say that . a good police is more i m p or t an t th an a canal, aii honest judiciary than a new road, public eduuntion than any extent of harbour room. They would therefore-limit the expenditure on public works to the surplus left when these great reforms have been attained. " A third party, with whom I myself most cor dially concur, reject both these extreme opinions. They hold that s ,cial improvements are more im portant than any public works, except such as tend to improve communication, They would therefore suspend ail works of irrigation, harbours, or public buildings, and devote all available resources to the compleiou of a complete network of railways. That work once done will pay as no public work has ever paid. It will treble the military strength of the empire. It will enable us to rid ourselves of the subordinate Governments, who now act as drags to the progress of the central authority. Above all, it will do for 1.13 what a sitmlar,system has done for the United States—render the physical vast ness of the country an advantage instead of the heaviest drawback. For the rest, all undertakings should be suspended in favour of a reformed police, speedy justice, and, above all, popular education. " t see you remark strongly on the absurd delays in the production of Indian accounts. The evil is a most grave one. The accounts are not published here lid Parliament has discussed them, and conse quently the only public which really understands and can check them is fairly baffled. The fault is ' that of the House of Commons, which submits to such tardiness. It is told that the accounts are difficult to make up, that they must be received from two hundred collectorates, that the Indian system precludes speed. This defence is really nonsensical. The Government sends home punc tually to the day what it is pleased to call a sketch estimate of the preceding year. That account is in reality most elaborate, liable, doubtless, to partial error, but not more so than the budget of a Chancellor of the Exchequer. Our financial year ends on the 30th of April. There is no reason whatever—l say it after years' study of the subject —why a reasonably accurate account of the revenue and expenditure should not be_ before the House of Commons by the 15th of July. There will be no permanent reform in our blundering system of finance until it so published. The delay takes all We have received our privlte correspondence and files of papers from Hong K)ng to the 10th of May. Our correspondent says : " The London mail of the 10th of March arrived here on the 27th of April per_steamer Singapore. The departure of the'outward mails is fixed for the 10th of 'each month during the prevalence of the south-west monsoon, and the steamer. Singapore leaves again to-day. " Political intelligence .is rather unsatisfagtory, and the,prOgress of the insurrents irrvarious qua tern -gives rise to alarm. In Kiangsi they have -cap tured the large and iinportint94. of Kin9liongfoq, and their prbximity to the. tea distrlds of Fuh- Kien gives just ground for anxietY lest the tea destined for Foochow should he intercepted or ‘4- itrOyed. To the northward also they have been successful, and the capture of the city of Yangehow, to the north-west of Shanghai, threatens tranquil lity in that quarter. A party of gentlemen front - Shanghai who lately visited Nankin found the rebels in great security there. " RearTAJliniral Sir Michael Seymour arrived here in her Majesty's st.ainer Encounter on Mi l 6th inst., and has hoisted his flag on bdird her Majes ty's ship Winchester. We understand it is his intention to proceed northward very shortly, to visit all the ports. Her Majesty's steamer. En counter leaves for Shanghai on the 12th inst. " Of the squadron in the north we have no in telligence. The United States' steamer Vamlalia left ou the 3d inst., homeward bound. Lieut.-Colonel Graham, commanding the gar. rison, goes by this mail, and Mr. Hillier proceeds on his way to Siam as her Majesty's Consul there. " Sir John Bawrinc , is said to be very anxious to visit Japan for diplomatic purposes. "A quarrel arose last month between some of the privates of her Majesty's 59th Regiment and the gun-Lascars attached to the Royal Artillery, and during the -cuffie a drummer-boy of the 59th was struck on the head with a stone, and died shortly afterwards. The gun-Lascars have been sent on board her Majesty's hulk Hercules to prevent further collision, which, in the excited state of the garrison, appeared highly probable, and but for the decision and energy displayed by Lieut.-Colonel Graham must have taken place. "The import trade at Canton has been very 9.3' tive during the past month, and prospects appear favourable, provided the rebels do not interfere. " Longcloths and cotton yarn have been in de mand, and have been freely parten with both for cash and in barter. Prices show no very material change. Money is easier, and exchange has given way very suddenly. Rice is abundant, and the growing crops are said to be luxuriant. " In tea only a moderate business has been done. Dealers are firmer in their demands, in conse quence of reports from the interior, and the ne xs from England is - depressing to the buyer. Prices remain with little alteration. Settlements com prise 19 chops new and 10 chops old congou. Silk continues in demand, but there is no Nankin silk in the Canton market. The present steamer car- - ries a large quantity. Sugar bas advanced in price, and there have been no transactions of importance. Freights are lower, and tonnag e abundant. " Shanghai advic es are t o the Ist inst. The London mail of the 11th .of February had been re ceived. The business transacted during the mouth had not been large, the movements of the rebels causing'a want of confidence among the Chinese. There has been only a small demand for imports at lower prices- Exchange had advanced. Silk alone had been active, and transactions to a considerable extent have taken place at - advanced rates. " Foochow dates are to the 29th of April. One vessel had sailed for England, and one,r,einained on the berth. The new season's teas are expected to arrive in about a month. Troops had been de spatched to the frontiers of the province. " Amoy letters are to the 30th of April. Manu factures and cotton yarn had been disposed of pretty freely, but at lower prices. " Manilla intelligence reaches to the sth inst. Exchange on London, 4s. 72d. to 4s. 81. for six months' sight bills. Moderate transactions are re ported in sugar at former prices. We learn that the Dutch bark Johanna . Maria, from Shields for Hong Kong, has been totally lost in Mindera Straits. The captain alone was drowned.

The fifth opium sale of the season was held on the 12th inst., when 3,435 chests realised 3,223,225 Com pany's re., or two lacs leas than the April sale. The Peninsular and Oriental C nnpany are making a move in opposition to the private steamers in the Cuina trade, and have now reduced their freights en opium from 28 re. to 20 rs. per chest ; or, rather, they charge 22 re. and return 2 re. to the shipper (a very question able practice on the part of so respectable a company) ; at this rate they have secured about 1,500 chests for the Pekin, to leave in a few days. In our produce-market we have only to report a con tinued state of inactivity. The advice of a rise in Manchester prices has made importers of piece goods firm, and a deficiency of steam tonnage available for the upper provinces curtails busi ness for that quarter, so that, although prospects con tinue good, the transactions since our last have not been upon a very large scale. In twist the business has been to a moderate extent, but with no improvement in value. Metals still dull, and prices heavy. Salt ill fair request, at full prices.

The transit through E2ypt is assuming vast im portance, which will be still further increased when the communication with Australia is re-opened, so that some steps should be taken to improve its pre sent condition. The value of India and China car goes, including specie, that passed through Egypt by the two mails of May was 1,557,1491., and the freight on this large amount of revenue into the coffers of the Viceroy. Not later than 1851 it was considered a remarkable fact that during the pre ceding 18 months 2,500,0001. worth of British pro. pert) had passed through Egypt. The Peninsular and Oriental Company show every disposition to lose as little time as possible iu Egypt, and the steamer Pera, which arrived here on ie 3d, and left again on her return voyage on the following day, landed in that short space of time 2,130 packages of specie, 568 packages of cargo for India, 150 tons of cargo for Alexandria, 261 packages of mails and 290 packages of baggage, and shipped at the same time 2,483 bales and cases of China silks, 882 bales of Bengal silks, 117 pack ages of local cargo, 425 packages of baggage, 65 packages of mails, and 200 tons of coals. Yesterday the ex-Grand Vizier, RedsChid Pasha, arrived here from Constantinople in the Egyptian steam-yacht Faid Giliaad, which was sent for the purpor3o. Said Pasha treats his guest with the greatest possible consideration, and went on board the steamer to meet him. Redschid Pasha is come here nominally to be present at the great fetes which the Viceroy is about to give in com memoration of his acce-sion to the Government of Egypt, but there is no doubt that his visit is connected with the state of affairs in the country, l i and it is to be hoped that some good will result from it. It is said that the principal points to be mooted with Said Pasha will be the exaggerated number of his army, his subversion of all adminis trations and concentration of all power and rule within himself, and his constant hostility towards the Bedouins. Kiamil Pasha, brother-in-law to Said Pasha, and Minister of Commerce at Constan tinople, has also come to Egypt with Redschid Pasha. I Great numbers of Arabs from the coast of Bar bary have been recently pouring into Egypt, fleeing their cnintry, where famine and misery prevail to an extraordinary extent. Ten of these poor people, who were shut up in the lazzaretto on account of some disease, died of actual starvation, and Said Pasha, on hearing of it, was highly indignant and removed the head of the Sanitary Department from hi 4 post and severely reprimanded the go vernor of the town for allowing such a thing to happen. The Viceroy has recently granted a groat boon to the town by abolishing the octroi duties which were levied on all articles of consumption brought inside the walls. General Sir James Outram, who arrived here by , the last mail from India, was detained in Alex andria by ill-h ea l th for a f o rtnight, and proceeds to Trieste this day by the Austrian steamer ; he is still in a very weak state. Trades continues very dull, there being no pro duce for shipment. The several screw steamers that call at this port are glad to get Eths of a penny per lb. for cotton, and 2s. 6d. per quarter for grain, while the sailing vessels, of which there are 48 in the harbour, can scarcely get anything at all. Our exchanges have again risen, and are now at 100 piastres per pound sterling.

SPORTING NOTES. NEWMARKET AND CARLISLE. The racing last week both in the north and south was interesting enough. The Days of Danebury had a glo rious meeting at Stockbridge, and the book-makers had no cause to complain. It is questionable whether gen• tlemen sportsmen have lost so much money in one day as they did on Thursday in Hampshire. Wentworth azain performed in public, and his running seemingly deepened the impression which was made by his Epsom exhibition. People seem now convinced that his boasted racing merit is a sham and a delusion. One fact, how ever, was patent : on Thursday he seemed "a bag of bonv," and desp:te his evident unfitness he finished with indomitable gameness. Mincepie, too, was among the beaten lot at Stockbridge, whilst Coroner ran so well that the expectations wbich were formed of him when a two-year-old have not been utterly disappointed. Respecting the racing at Newcastle several incidents worth notice are recorded. Ellington was not brought out against Artillery for the North Derby. Artillery came through his engagement in triumph, but it is as serted that if Warl 'ck hail not bolted Mr. Morris would have been destined to again witness the defeat of his Derby horse. The orange jacket and white cap was in great force on Tuesday, and was borne first for the two principal races. All persons were rejoiced to see the success of Zeta for the Northumberland Plate. John Osborne used his el tactics with reference to Lord Alfred and Yorkshire Grey. It is said, however, that he had a correct line as to Zeta's ability, and allowed her to represent his interest. , I see by the returns from the Curragh that the Indian Warrior has at last managed to get his head just past the winning post, having defeated a field of seven " duf fers" for the Waterford Stakes. The July Meeting at N - wmarket will commence to. morrow. Although the racing will not be very abut). dant, yet turfites will doubtless enjoy the broad sunshine and fanning breEzes on the "other side of the ditch." I shall not occupy space by a useless discussion of the three items of sport which are all that at present occupy attention. Lambourn will doubtless win the July Stakes. Sh mid Theodora start for the Midsummer Stakes, the slbs. advantage which she will have in the weights will enable her to beat Pitapat. In her absence, how. ever, the horse will win. Mr. Howard's promi.ing colt., the Chevalier d'lndustrie will carry off the Chesterfield . Stakes. The Meeting at merry Carlisle is materi•slly benefitted' by folio witig so closely on that at Newcastle. The pro-, gramme promises some good sport. Calculating upon the absence of Fisherman, I shall assign the Corby Castle Stakes to Remedy. The Cumberland Plate seems a "good thing"for York. shire Grey, but should Fisherman be sent so far north AB Carlisle (awl little fish are sweet), I shall, despite hi s weight, be induced to throw in my net with him. For the Grand Stand Ilan , licap I shall select D. 0. ant" King of the Gipsies. The A.sayer may win the Latter" Elindicap, albeit the course is a little too far for him the Stewards' Plate I place to the credit of Caere, . Petite. So far as southern turfites are c3ncerned, the meeting , ' of the. week will be at Worcester on rhursday and Fri day. Saraband, lam told, is the only animal at pre. cent arrived. I shall send iny notes on the p .obabilities from Newmarket for publication on Wednesday. June 30. A FRESH MANI
