The sales were estimated at 5,000 bales, The rail Way Share Market clo s e d with a ti appearance, and the values of all the leading te ch have declined. Th e Foreign and Colonial Pt oduce Markets since T tir list report have exhib a ited rather more activity. e a is at full rates, and large business' has been ti in the better qualities ; about 33,000 packages be sold at public sale to-morrow when high ra tes are expected to be realised. Sugar has been abetter request and fully late rates are supported f the better grocery descriptions, low refining til,ealities were in demand, and realised a slight ad -1 ) 110 e. Coffee has been quiet, but no chan g e can noted on quotations. For rice there was amo • ,crate inquiry, and notwithstanding the decline of 'B ' to 43. in Mark Lane, priceshave in mos t instances den fully supported. The demand for r um has b 'ell active, and a large business has been trans acted j t ! 1 'cliaerara and Leewards at fully former quota :4ll. There was an active inquiry for saltpetre, t ilcl Pfices have advanced about' is. p er cwt., and I , i lcv has been firmer, P. Y.

The condition of some of the money m arkets „ "'read i s b ec o m ing very unsatisfactory, and the. 5,r 5 13 of discount in two or three of the pr inci p al : I les of the continent are already much abo ve the l ' e rage. In Holland, where 4 per cent, is consi e4ed a high quotation, money is now wo rth 5 p er :".) and at Hamburg and Berlin a n advance to th ere cent. has just been notified. In Vienna, also, is more stringency, and it is feare d that most °, ,t 11 ,3 German Banks will be compelled to im p ose 4 ' gclition a l restrictions. In France diamint accom modation i s still very dear, but the - tendency , as 4r as can be judged from the recent , adv ices, is se t unfavourable, and trade is impro vin g . But the bank of France is still buying gol d, and if these;., operations should become more exte nsive 'creased pressure may be anticipated here. A large il°t tion of the recent Australian supplies have be en t absorbed, and should the movement continue eussions will soon be heard as to the prospect 0 1 ; the MilliMUM being raised to 6 per cent. The immediate demand for discounts is exceed glY active, and, although the supply is consider d 1 ° owing to the high rates of interest offered for e poeits " on c all," the full charge of 5& per cent. din almost all cases exacted. flt ise;ectedthat tiegoid brought by the Nor - A A from Australia, will be delivered to -da y .

(Before Mr. Prendergast, Q. C. ) MASTERS AND WORKMEN-WHERE IS THE REDRESS ? This morning several workmen who had been in the employ of Messrs. Bra's, of Silver-street, Aldergates, applied for summonses, under the following circum stances :—They were, according to their statement, dis missed last evening without being paid, and were told to call for their money at G o'clock this morning, which they did, but were not paid till seven o'clock. They now applied to his Honour for advice. His Honour said that he could not, as a judge, give any advice ; they must apply to a solicitor. The men generally said it was hard to lose a day's work and not be able to get recompense. As to the j ,h, they did not care about it, although it might be a long one. His Honour, being still further pressed for his advice, said the best advice he could give them was to go back and settle the difference with their employers ; there must be some misunderstanding. The men were still discontented, and at last his Honour said that he would not in the least way inter fere until the case came before him judicially. The parties then retired. No reason was assigned I r the discharge of the men. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. (This Day.) MARLBOROUGH-STREET. RUFFIANLY ASSAULT ON THE POLICE BY A CABMAN.

The com mittee who are to superintend the -eceipts and the dis posal of the money are all influentia gentlemen ; and it is anticipated that the public will co me forward even more generously thin on the 1 tst occasion; The enter tainments are of the best order ; sad as the numerous artistes have volunteered their services gratuitously, the entire receipts will be paid over by the committee with out the requisite deductions for ordinary occasions. Tun BOMBE ExPLosioir AT MANCHESTER.—Taree of the unfortunate workpeopie scaldel by an explosion of a steam boiler belonging to Messrs, Johnson and Coin parry, Bradford-road, Manchester, on Friday last, have since died at the Manchester Royal Infirmary. Their names aro John Cash, the engine -driver, Robert Fellows, and Joseph Hayes. Mr. Herford, coroner for Manchester, held an inquest on the bodies yesterday. The first witness was the chief engineer of the works, who described the boiler, a.od said he was certain that at 8 o'clock on Friday morning there was 6in. to Bin. of water marked by the gauge, and that after the explosion he found the feed valve scr'iwed down. The Gin. or Bin. of water might evaporate in three-quarters of an hour. The explosion took place an hour and three-quarters after that. Mr. T. Forsyth, engineer, who had examined the boiler at the request of the corocer, was the next wit ness, and stated in effect that the boiler bad burst through want of water and the plates of the boiler be coming red hot. He believed 'he boiler had been in good ordinary working order, with adequate fittings, and he accounted for the accident in this way—that a small screw wbioh fixed the valve of the feeding apparatus to the screw handle under the! charge of Cash, the engine driver, bad gradually woiked itself on., and had not been in its place for a considerable time ; that, being so, the valve had gradually b ec:ome unscrewed until at some time, probably within tliTs the last hour and a quarter before the accident, it had becom e quite disconnected and dropped into its seatiiic. The consequence would be that, whatever the mars in charge might do, he could not cause water to pass into the boiler. There was the clearest evidence that the flue had been red-hot over a considerable amount of surface. The admission of water upon the red-hot iron, oausi ng the accident, he attributed to the fact that the 16 boilers on the premises, coupled together, being at a higher level, after becoming over charged, bad allowed waler to fall back through the connexion-pipe into the boiler that had burst, and so upon the red-hot iron platten. Mr. Longridge, inspec tor to the Association to r Preventing Boiler Explo sions, concurred in this vie of ,of the case, and the jury, after a few minutes consideration, returned a yerdiot of "Accidental death." SPG TES. PAST AND FUTURE. If we are to witness a repetition of the Acrobat and Blink Bonny riots few gentlemen will be inclined to visit a race-course, and it will be absolutely dangerous to keep horses. A more di,, , graceful disturbance—a "row" more unwarrantable than that created at Doncaster on Friday—it was never my misfortune to witness. I have no hesitation in stating, from facts that have come to my knowledge, that the St. Leger backers of Blink Bonny had an honest , race for their money, and that the confidence of her owner and jockey were und►minished until the very moment the mare was beaten. Blink Boni y began to tire after passing the Red House, and on reaching the distance she was quite beaten. Ignoramus proved to be an overrated hone, but he went to the pat with a moat suspicious leg, and walked so lamely back to the enclosure, that many persons fancied he had broken down. I was prepared for the utter defeat of the favour ites. In The Sun, on the Monday before the race, the following remarks appeared : " I shall therefore, without extending my remarks, jump at the conclusion that Blink Bonny and Igno►a m.us will not be amongst the placed horses, and that the double and treble events about the mare will be spoiled by either Adamas or " IMPERIEUSE." There are occasions on which a man may blow his own trumpet as lustily as he pleases, and I think so extraordinary a verification of my prediction as that re corded above, entitles me to a prolonged fLiarish. As in the years when Ihe Sun alone predicted Ilaco to win the Cesarewitch, Little David the Cambridgeshire, and Whitelock the Northumberland Plate, ED in 1857 it is the only journal that picked Iwpriense for the St. Leger ! A aatiZaotory settling has been announced. The winners have collected their gains, and the list of casualties is unimportant. From the City circle only one man will be missed, and from the Corner no important absentee has been reported. The gentlemen of " the House " had a rare time of it, and were enabled to retrieve some of those loses on the turf which they sustained on 'Change. 'Mr. Perry had the Imperieuse commission, and well did he execute it. I cannot withhold my tribute of admiration from the manner in which Imperious* was soot to the post. John Scott had exhausted the secrets of his art upon her, and well was he rewarded for the skill and labour which he had bestowed on her preparation. Imperieuse is his own property, having been taken as a " set off" against the debt of a nobleman, whose nom de course was " Mr. Newland." Flatmar, too, rode Imperious° with consummate judgment. Re took a place at starting wh ich he retained to the end, never quitting it, but going on steadily, whilst his opponents dropped one by one behind him. If any proof of his being the most pa tient and careful jockey of the day were wanting, he furnished a conclusive one by the manner in which he rode Warlock and Imperieuse at Doncaster. Before these remarks meet the eyo of the uader, the Pontefract gathering will be concluded, and half the rac:s at Leicester run off. I shall offer no apology for not referring to them earlier, because they really excited very little attention, and were, in fact, totally disre garded by turfites until the important business con nected with the St. Leger settling was brought to a ter mination. The programme of to-morrow's sport at Leicester contains six items, of which three are inclosad. Amelia may win the Welter raca, and the Scurry seems likely to be placed to the credit of one of Mr. T. Cliff's nomi nations. .Prince of Denmark ought to carry off the Nursery. The attempt to get up military races at Warwick ie likely to be so signal a failure that the scheme s ill be aban doned for the future. Indeed, racing men do not care to be always running to and from Warwick ; they go there quite often enough as it is. Should Amelia not go to Leicester, she may win the Balaklava Stakes. Hamlet may win the 20 says. Handicap, and Hunting ton the Handicap of 10 sovs. each, one mile. If the Prince of Denmark should be sent to War Nick instead of to Leicester, he will win the Nursery Handicap. Cock of the North ought to carry off the Handicap of 5 Rom each, five furlongs. On paper the chance of Poodle and Redemption seem as attractive as any for the Wind ham Handicap. Monmouth I must pate over in silence, and my remarks on Manchester shall be reserved for Thursday. A FRESH MAN. TATTERSALL'S—MONDAY. If any doubts were entertained respecting the St. Leger settling, they were satisfactorily dispelled by the readiness with which all liabilities were met this afternoon. One of the largest winners on the race closed his account with only a 10/. balance in his favour. Not a missing man was reported amongst the members of the Ring, and only one ftbien' ee from the "outer set" was announced. As we have already stated, the bulk of the money is distributed amongst the gentlemen of the Stock Exchange. The betting on the Ceiarewitch was not remark ably brisk. The principal movements were those which caused the decline of Victoria and the ad vance of the Plush colt, December, and Sacharissa. A disposition was also evinced to back M. Dobler, Black Tommy, and Warlock. The other horses quoted were merely nibbled at.

The termination of the Cremorne season with the present week may be regarded as a sort of official declaration on the part of the more lively portion of the London public that summer is fairly over. People pass down to Cremorne by multitudes as long as the state of the weather renders the migra tion possible ; the heat that makes theatres insutfor able invites to the out-door enjoyments of Elie gar dens, and from Whitsuntide to the end of Septem ber there is no place of amusement more popular. Circumstances have given the proprietor all the advantages of a monopoly. Vauxhall, after seyeril spasmodic flickerings, has entirely faded oul - , nor even if it were reopened by an enterprising specu lator would it prove a competitor equal to Cremorne. The older gardens, planted with dark avenues, that shut out the light of day, are arranged for night amusements only, and derive their sole brightness from artificial means of illumination ; whereas Cremorne, with its broad lawns, its picturesque points of view, its fountains and its statues, affords most agreeable lounge in the afternoon, without sacrificing any of its qualifications for becoming a land of lamp 3 after nightfall. The Surrey Gardens, notwithstanding the excellence of the new Music hall, and the advantages of a lake that afforded an opportunity for the display of a peculiar descrip tion of fireworks not to be found elsewhere, have _ not met patronage enough to become a perina,;ent establishment ; possibly because a situation " over the water" couterbalances all the good that can be effected by any amount of taste and enterprise. Moreover, the Surrey Gardens from the first beginning, when they made their appearance as a zoological institution, were addressed to a graver class than Crernorno, and even if th. yhad flourished they could scarcely have rivalled-it.iu the estimation of the most numerous patrons of out-door amusements. There are, in deed, various public gardens in the different out skirts of the metropolis, and, if report miy ba trusted, many of them are ably and respectably conducted ; but these enjoy a.iocal rather than a general celebrity, and do not even attempt a com pettion with the large gardens of Chelsea. Cre morne is the only place of out-door gaiety that is recognised all over London, and frequented alike by high and humble. Gardens known to all Paris are numerous—there is but one Cremorne. Far from making an undue use of the monopoly that circumstances have thrust upon him., Mr. . Simpson has managed his property with as'much zeal fur the amusement of the public as if a whole legion of competitors were arrayed against him. Every season the garden is embellished with some new ornament, and enlivened with some new de scription of entertainment. There is an equestrian circus ; there ie a theatre for the performance of ballets ; there is a marionette theatre ; there is a cosinorama ; there are opportunities for the practice of marksmanship in all its forms from rifle-,hooting and American bowls down to Fringing toe bull" and the slaughter of tin sta g s with a pop-gun • and finally there are refreshment rooms, Which, notwithstand- ing the natural tendency of man to be sensiCve as to all that regards his palate, have never, we believe, awakened a grumble. In short, it is hard to say what Cremorne does not present in the shape of open-air recreation. The amusement-seekers of London will, under these c reumstauces, regret to learn that a cloud is at presAet hanging over the fortunes of Cremorne. To many of our more joyous readers the Chelsea Elysium will appear such a veritable seat of delight that they will be totally unable to understand that a different view is taken of the matter by the Chelsea vestry. Puzzling indeed to the multitude that go tattling down to Cre, - norne in brougham, cab, and carriage will be the explanation that ren• s are lowered by immediate vicinity to the gardens. " Who would not pay double rent to live next door to Cremorne, and compensate for the outlay by the saving of coach hire ?"—so will argue many a wearer of a downy moustache ; but his argu ment will not convince the small portion of the Chelsea vestrymen. who are now invading the privileges of Cremorne. At present the assault merely takes the form of an " early closing movement," and the licensing magistrates are to be requested to shut up Mr. Simpson by half-past 11 o'clock. "Early to bel and early to rise" is, no doubt, a wholesome motto for those who can adopt it ; but its cogency is slight in the eyes of police men, opera-dancers, West-end oyster-shop pro prietors, manufacturers of fireworks, and many other per3ons of virtuous professions, to whom we may add in a body the amateurs, reputable and dis reputable, who cultivate the worship of Terpsichore. We are not aware that there is any Greek myta setting forth some mystic arrangement between Krouos and the most popular of muses in order to account for the connection between dancing and late hours, but certain it is that from the days when Horace could say— " Jam Cytherea chores ducit Venus, imminent° Luna," down to tie present sober time danc3rs of every class, whether they frequent the lax casino or ex hibit their predilections at thequiet little family lte 1 of a, puritanical suburb, seem all to make their con duct a practical expression of that individual liberty which is so often shouted forth in the chorus, "We won't go home till morning." In all prohability the cloud will pass over ; but if it should break over Cremorne, and the monster platform and the sup per-room become solemn deserts at half-pest eleven, then will the now joyous multitude that flows through the avenues of Chelsea wend sorrowfully home at early ;midnight, asking why the mirth of the nieropJlie is thus brought toan early close. In what, form did the angry gods manifest themselves who deshed away the lamps from the Temple of the Muses and the Graces 1 And Clio, the muse of history, reply,—ln the form of 18 vestrymen. Times. MILITARY INTELLIGENCE. TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUL - - SlR,—Will you kindly permit me, through the medium of your columns, to correct an itnpres,ion which is gaining ground, that the " Victoria R.fltis," or Mid dlesex Volunteer Corps, is simply a club of gentlemen, not sanctioned by Government. Such an impression to a great extent frustrates the exertions of those who are endeavouring to raise the corps to its cull coinpletnent. I therefore with to state in contradiction, that the Victoria Mile Corps is enrolled under the direct sanction of her Nl.jesty, with the approval also of Lord Pal , merston. The corps is governed by the Volunteer Act, is entire'y self-supporting, and is, L believe, the only volunteer rifl corps, with the exception of the "South Devon," whose officers' names appear in the Army List. Ten of its members have received commissions in various militia regiments ; one was gazitted direct from its ranks as Paymaster to the German Legion, and two are now fighting in India as officers of her Majesty's 60th Rifles.—l am, Sir, your most obedient servant, FREDK ABBOTT, Serjeant, Victoria Rifles. Orderly Room, Kilburn, N.W. Sept. 21, 1857. THE LATE MURDER IN LEIGH WOODS, NEAR BRISTOL. —lt having been pretty clearly a , certained that a pair of stays similar to those worn by the deceased were pur chased on the Saturday before the murder at the shop of Mr. Chodinan, Stall- : street, Bath, by a person corres ponding in dress, stature, and appearance with the de ceased, who represented that she was living at Keynsham and Saltford, on the road between Bath and Bristol, and that she was about to be married and emigrate to Aus tralia, the plice are actively exerting themselves in endeavouring to trace out whether such a person has left the neighbourhood, and if so, whether she - can be identified as the murdered woman. Yesterday morning Mr. Handcock, chief of the Bristol police, received a communication from the master of the union workhouse at Nottingham stating that a short time since a young woman named Cordelia Parker was received into the house, not as a pauper, but as suffering under mental aberration. She had at that time 71. in her possession, which she took with her on leaving the house. After quitting she resided for a short period in the family of Mr. Renshaw, of No. 2, Lenton Sands, near Notting ham, in the capacity of under-governess. While there she received a further sum of about 381. from the sale of some furniture. She left Mr. Henshaw's family and proceeded to Hull for the purpose of endeavouring to obtain employment as a teacher of music, failing which she expressed her intention of going direct to Bristol. The master and mistress of the union both state that the printed description of deceased exactly corresponds with the young woman in question, and the latter bad an op portunity of seeing that all Cordelia Parker's linen, &C., was marked in a manner similar to that of the deceased. This information has been communicated the chiefs of po l ice at Nott ing ham and Hull, by who tofu rther queries are are tieing made.

There he sought hei out, and, to make her join him, carried off her pack ; she followed him to a public-house, and he insisted that she should breakfast with him. She said that she had no wish to eat, and on her reiterated refusal he be came irritated. At length, after some squabbling, he seized a knife, and plunged it into her breast. She fell bathed in blood, and was conveyed to the hospital ; but though the wound was very serious, she after a while recovered. When before the court the man said that he meant to murder the woman because she bad rejected him, and had carried on intrigues with other men. The jury declared him guilty, and the court sentenced him to 20 years' hard labour. THE RAILWA RED SEA Y FROM. 'AIR° TO TIJM ALEXANDRIA, Sept. 11.—The periodic rise of the Nile, to which this country owes its fertility, is always watched withanxious eyes by its inhabitants during this month, towards the middle of which it usually attains its greatest height. The public crier in Cairo proclaims aloud each day the number of cubits to which the river Las risen, as indicate 1 by the Nilometer in the Island of Rhoda. During the last few days it has been found to remain nearly stationary, at about the height of 21 cubit, this being a very slow rise at this date ; and as it ape . - pears to be already receding, instead of rising two • to three cubits above that height, it has already caused some anxiety for the next year's crops of grain and cotton, which depend on the extent and • continuance of the inundation of the land by the Nile at this season ; for according to its abuse' dance or deficiency will the productiveness of the land be increased or diminished—a. greatly defi cient rise of the river causing a great scarcity of duce, prs and, es has occurred at srated periods, bringing a famine on the " Land cf Egypt." The Viceroy has aln ady manifested some anxiety on this head, and has intimated the poss,bility, at an e period of the present year, of his being obliged to prohibit the export of grain, as a precautionary measure, to obviate the consequences of a scarcity during the next year. There appears to be, how ever, no positive grounds as yet for such a precLed ing. The constructiou of the railway from Cairo to Suez to complete the line from the Mediterranean to the Red Sea is advancing very slowly, only about 50 miles having been made since it was begun nearly two years ago. It were to be wished that a certain rowerful and friendly influence had been used with the Viceroy, Said Pasha, to hasten the completion of this work of real and pracdcal utility to Egypt, instead of wasting his resources by the enormous expenses he has been incurring in forwarding M. Lesseps' utopian project of the Suez Ship Cam], from which Egypt can never derive any benefit whatever, but on the contrary, will be greatly in jured immediately, by the way iu which it is pro posed to carry it out, in hiving fully one:third of_ her already too scanty agricultural labourers talsen away into the Suez desert to workat'this monstrous project, and remotely, if it ever should bee finish:id, by its directing the present transit trade to Egypt . — which passes through and benefits! the country— into the Suez desert, removed so many miles from its habitable confines. It is however, pretty well known now here that Said Pasha has altered his views as regards this famous project of M. Lesseps; and reports says that he is thoroughly disgusted with it, both on account of the heavy expense it entails ;upon him, and the complications it has given rise to with the British Minister, whose op position to it he was never led to anticipate ! Said Pasha cert duly deserves credit from over laud passengers for having, of his own free will, very shortly after his accession to the Viceroyalty, ordered that this railway from Cairo to Suez should be made forthwith, and from his owa resource=, which at time were very limited. Had the making of it been committed to Mr. Stephenson, and carried in the direction he pointed out, continuing the Alexandria line direct from near Bench through the Tumalah to Suez, being nearly a perfect level, it would have been finished long since, and at considetably less expense than the present line, which it is feared will eventually have to be aban doned on account of its running through shifting sands in some parts, and chiefly from the want of having a supply of water at any part of the line. Said Pasha, with his own ingertieur-em-chef (Mougelet Bey), would make a railroad. and would mese it in their own selected direction, and there it is (surely enough 0, on the Suez desert, half finished, dragging "its long length slowly along" towards Suez. But it is not, I presume generally known in Eng land that in making this railway to Suez -he had a political object in view ; nor would it be sup posed that in taking up M. Lesseps' project, the most persuasive arguments used with him were political. It was perhaps the instinct of self-pre servation at the time to place himself in-a suffi ciently independent position to be able to resist the cabals or conspiracies, as he imagined, formed against him at Constantinople ; and so Egypt WAS ' to be isolated from the Turkish territories by the broad and deep ship canal across the Isthmus of Suez, and the Hedggas (Aralaias),.resonquered for - the Sultan by his father, Mohamed Ali, was to be placed within his grasp by a railway to Suez, and by a fleet of screw steamers in the Red Sea, for which he had formed a nominally trading company with his own paid directors, and for which M. Lesseps got an order to purchase three or four of t hose large screw steamers built for a French Atlantic company at Havre. There is no doubt that such ideas were put into his head by parties here who sur rounded him from interested motives, flattering his ambition of becoming, like his father, a Eure pe in celebrity by his great Andertakingss This - had been leading him into enormous expenditure in maintaining and equipping in the most expensive way a large standing army, and •in • various other ways by yielding to the impor tunities of projectors proposing schemes in which they are interested, or soliciting orders for the pur chase of various articles, on the execution of which they make enormous profits. And in this way some favoured few have made, and others. are ex pecting to make, fortunes in this country. But unfortunately for the latter, and perhaps fortu nately for the Viceroy, his finances appear to be at present at a very low ebb. , It is a notorious fact here th the pay of nearly all the Government officials, and even of the officers of high rank in the army, is five or six months, some eight or nine months, in arrears. Said Pasha himself has been borrowing money from some of the banks at an ex orbi ant rate of interest, and still he continues this recaless expenditure as above indicated in a way that fir exceeds the means which the revenue of this country (though larger for its extent than that of any of the smaller States of Europe) places at his disposal. But Egypt is a coun ry of wonderful resource s, and S tid Pasha is a noble minded, en lightened, and gent:rous Prince ! So says M. Les gees, who has had, no doubt, good reasons for asserting it, as he had "thy honour-of approaching and appreciating. his Highness." TLe yearly increasing trade of this country with Gre it Britain, both in its exports of the staple arti cles of c rt•on and grain and in its imports of cotton manufactures, Sec., is so great, and the political im portance of preserving Egypt as a dependence of the Ottoman Empire—tiereby ensuring the overland route via Su -z to India from being interrupted—is so evident, that it is really a matter of surprise to some that the active influence of England, through her representative here, has been so little felt, merely because seldom or never exercised on the councils of the Viceroy, while he has been left wholly to the guidance of other more energetic European func tionaries. This is the more to be regretted, whether it arises from indifference or a laisser faire principle on the part of the British Government, er the apa thy of its representative here, because the present Viceroy, it is well known, would readily lend his ear and be easily led to act on the disinterested advice which would be given him from that, quarter, and which, it is said, a more thoughtful review of late events and of his present position has made him latterly better able and more disposed to appreciate than ever. However, the transit of the ove rland mails and homewards through Egypt, in which the British . p ub passengers both outwards and most interested, is really effected very efficiently lio are,' at presen t t l , under the administration of this Government ; though one of your London contemporaries cam plains very fairly regarding it, particularly rbeeinrg ofofrocetmhasethe largeness .of was oprevious delay mails—the complained fa . of the mails and. rutthatnineagvgotoroine unavoidable number t e t unexpectedly arriving at Suez at the same of passengers, Indian and Aus tralian, time. The difficulty of finding.camels sufficient at a day's notice, when an extraordinary number are required for the transit across some 90 miles of desert, can be easily appreciated ; but the active agent here of the Peninsular and Oriental' Com pany had some time ago suggested to the - Egyp tian a dministration the advantages that would be derived from making use of the portion of the rail road already made, towhich they at once assented - ; yet, strange to say, some reu'ine official objections were - made to using it for the mails ,until. the wholei line of railway from Suez to Cairo wag opened ! This appears incredible, but is wily on a par with what has just taken place here-regarding the forwarding of the Bombay mails this time, which were sent by a slow French steamer leaving here for Marseilles, instead of sending them by her Majesty's despatch steamer earache() (lying in this harbour, together with her Majesty's steam corvette the Desperate, awaiting the arrival of the Siamese Ambassador), by which the intelligence from India, by this mail, so a nx iously expected, would have arrived fully t wo da y s sooner y than bF h. s t ea mer; An this renc d yet we complain of an.accidental delv of a few h ours across the desert on the p art of the Egyptian transit administration !
