THE EGYPTIAN EXILES IN CEYLON.

Zdifor.

I have had the good fortune to be allowed to peruse
several letters which our fellow-townsn an, Mr. A.
M. Broadley, has lately received from Arabi Pachs
and his companions In their place of exile, who still
continue to correspond freely with their former coun-
sel. Mahmoud Poch* Semi, the Nationalist Prime
Minister, writes that he is ow in good health, and
devotes all his thn3 to the notify of the English
language, In which he has already made so much pr.. ,
grees that he hopes t be able to corresp-ind in it in I
six months. Tooth* Paella writes Ir. a lees cheerful
tone. The climate of C yin, he say., aggravates his ,
chronic asthma, and he deeps re of living long nal.*
he can change his place id a o le. Arabi writes more
Bequeath, than any of the rest. His letters are
modelsed elegant Arabic writing, and the sentiments
he expresses are moderate and eiznified. He says he
is determined to reopect the parole be has given, and
trusts the British Government will show a reciprocity
of conduct towards him. lie considers his parole to
have been given to Eugl aid, and accordingly looks
only to England for the tarrying out .1 any stipulation
existing in his favour. to his last letter, which
is signed both in Arabic and English characters,
"Ahmed Arabi, the Eoritian. No. 280, Matwal,
Colombo, Ceylon," he say., "We all regret to inform
you that the Egyptian Government has not kept its
promise made to L ird Dufferin of defraying the
necessary expenses for the j .urney of the wives of
four of us from Egypt to Gylon. In our present
circumstanoes we are unable to thew the cost our-
selves, and this matt-r causes us pain and anxiety.
We shall appeal to the British Government on the
subject." Arabi himself directed this letter in ael or
and bold round hand, and the progress he hae made
in English in the midst of ail his troubles certainly
attests both his Intelligence and hie determination.
The children of Aly Fehmy Petits, Mahmoud Fehtny

the principal prices ma le at Messrs. Senior and

ROBBIIIT BT BOLDII3II.

George Poulter and Jamey Spher, privet.. in
the West Surrey Regiment, Portland, wine charged
with feloniously converting to their own us* four
bras crutches, of which they were the bailees,
the property of Richard Baker and Samuel Baker.
Devenish deposed to hearing of the
lose of the four crutches, and on going to the
Britannia Inn received the crutches now produced and
a deacripthz of the men who bad left them there.
He afterwards went to the barracks with amen named
Simpson, who identified the prisoners, and be took
them into custody. It appears prkoners had hind prose-
(-atom' boat and took the crteches from it, afterwards
dispoeing of them at the inc. ite they alleged, for a
drunken spree. %Vitness apprehended the defendants
no the charge. When °horsed with the !fence
Poulter admitt-d they were the only ones who bad
anything to do with tbe boa', but the • old man was
the biggest fool to let them have it ."—Samuel SmPla,
landlord of the Terminus Hotel, said oath. night of the
6th inst., be was standing at his door, and saw four
soldiers standing together. One of them had four
brags crutches in his hand. He offered to sell them
t , him for Is. Poulter, who bad the crutches, was
rather the worse for drink. A man in his house
wished to buy them, but witness advised him not
to do so. They then left—James Simpson, of Port-
land, soli on the night of the 6th Poulter came to
the Britannia with three other soldiers. He had
three crutches with him, and left them in his charge
for safety. He said be had had a row in Chesil and
had lost one. Witness afterwards reported It to the
corporal, and gave the matches up when asked for
them.—Poulter pleaded guilty to taking the crutches,
but said he had no idea of stealing or gelling them. He
had never had anything brought spinet bim before; it
was all through the drink.--Spiret pleaded not guilty;
be had had nothing whatever to do with the crutch's.
—Pocket was fined el and oasts, and diernleeed the
case egalaat Spiret.—The Bench gave the latter •
caution.

DORCHESTER LIBERAL ASSOCIATION.

To SA4 Maar.

Sir,—Might I ask, through the medium of your
valuable paper, if the Auociation is still alive, at has it
died • natural death?
If still in existence (which I ainoerely hope It Is)
surely no time should be 1.9 t in bringing • candi-
date before the electors.
The preeeot Parliament is already nearly four years
old, and a dissolution may take place at any moment,
I therefore think that the Dorchester Liberal
Asmciatiou should be up and doing, and not wait
until the lut moment arrives.
If • suitable candidite is found and brought before
the electors at • publio stetting during the corning
winter, it would doublitu give an impetus to
Liberillem in the town.
I trust this letter may be the means of stirring up
the Liberals in thin Borough, so that when the dirsolu-
tion comes, for come it must leonine or later, they will
he able to way "Ready, aye, reedy."
Thanking you in anticipation for the insertion of
this lotter,—l remain, sir, yours obtdientlyi

In the way of atmospheric d cond-ti ,ns. there wee no
