pia,mfo'to duet by Miss E. Mullet and Mr.
Dean was given in a very artistic mariner. Mr.
Andrews was the favourite of the evening, as was
shown by the manner in which he was encored aftur
each of his songs, to which he responded. Master
A. Simms, son of the late Mr. S. Simms played his
solo in a very pleasing manner, and showed that
he had inherited his father's abilities. Mr. J.
lleathcock proved that he was a complete master of
his difficulty instrument, the clarionet. He played
very sweetly and was loudly applauded. “The
death of Nelson," by Mr. Pagett, was rendered in
capital style, and met with the appreciation of the

SUAKIN, Thursday Morning.
Early this morning a detachment of each
regiment of General Graham's forces started
out with one day's rations and ammanition
in the direction of Hasheen.
The cavalry are now in the hills beating
up the enemy, who are retreating in :all di-
rections.
Severe fighting is hourly expected.
SUAKIN, Thursday, 4 p.m.
General Graham, who left here this morn-
ing in full force to make a reconnaisance of
Osman Digna's position, near Hasheen, has
returned.
He reports that he found Hasheen aband-
oned, and that Osman Digna had retired,
and concentrated his forces at Tamai, where
General Graham fought last year one of his
victorious battles with the Mandi's lieuten-
ant.
An engagement is expected to take place
shortly.
SUAKIN, Thursday, 4 15 p.m.
The scouts sent out by General Graham
found that Osman was in strength at Hash-
een, but he speedily retired directly south to
Tamai.
At Hasheen our cavalry succeeded in
capturing three prisoners. Our loss was one
hussar killed, and one officer and one ser-
geant wounded.
The Guards were not with the advance
force, but were held in reserve.

[FROM THE GAZETTE SPECIAL CORRESPONDENT.

BY EASTERN CABLE.

CAIRO, Thursday, 5.45 p.m.

The opinion is gaining ground here, based
upon the reports of Professor Sayce, that
the Mandi will endeavour before the autumn
sets in to work round the various positions
occupied by our troops on the Nile, thus
cutting off Lord Wolseley from communica-
tion with Cairo. The arrest of Zobehr and
his removal from Cairo are regarded as most
opportune movements at this crisis.
Every day the Soudan question becomes
more and more complex. The residents
here are undoubtedly mixed up with the
rebel movement, but their complicity in it
is difficult to prove. One thing is placed
beyond all doubt. Their attitude is hostile
to us to the last degree. The organ of the
French Consul, the Bosphore Egyptien, sus-
'ains the attitude of the disaffected natives,
and its counsel renders our position in Egypt
a very difficult one to maintain. Legal
opinion has been taken by the English
authorities in reference to the suppression of
the Bosphore. The opinion is adverse, but
our interests in Egypt demand that stringent
measures should be at once taken on the
initiative of the Government for the sppres-
sion of paper which disseminates the false
and malignaut nttacks which it has been
recently in the habit of circulating.

OVER THE SIINSTIINE OF EXISTENCE HANGS A
BLACK CLOUD.
Wi:h the buy of fo is mingled the dark mystery
of death! While on the one haul we catch the welcome
sound oh a n.w breath of lite that tells of au a Adition to
our species, on the other we shudder as we hear the rush-
ing wigs ::f tile Destroying Aagel ! The mighty voice of
the Great Influence which rules the Universe has pro-
nounce lou fate ; the eread fiat has gone for.h, and every
mortal men is doomed to die! But, though we cannot
prevent, can we postpone death? The question is momen-
tous, even if it concern the prolongation of life but by *
single hour, inasmuch as every instinct prompts us to figLt
the boldest battle we can for this glorious boon of existenct.
The promp:ings of instinct are but the spontaneous voices
of nature, and it is our doty to obey. But there still re•
mains the question. can death be postpoued by a single
hour? Yes; for the world works in obedience o certain
laws; and a stuoy of these prove that those will have the
judgment and toe will to buckle on the shield, which'
nature places ready to the.r grasp, may ward oil the insidi
one attacks of the implacable enemy of life, until in a ripe
old age, toe vital faculties graduaby decay, and the Angel
of Peace glides softly iato our presence, leading as it
were, in a gentle slumber to the regions beyond the
shadow of the tomb.
