ENGLIMIT TrAVELLERS AT CAIII.O.—A paragraph in
the Times describes the disgraceful conduct of certain
English travellers at Cairo. On the night of the 4th, a
party of them presented themselves at the Great Mosque,
where a state service was going on. Having been
admitted with every possible courtesy, repaid it, first by
obtruding themselves into the viceregal circle, where
they amused themselves by mimicking the dervishes and
others who were performing the rites of their religion
around the tomb of the founder, and then proceeding to
demonstrate, by all means in their powers, their con-
tempt for Moslem religious observances ; this naturally
incensed the congregation, and that to such an extent as
to attract the attention of the Viceroy, who sent his
equerry, Mohammed Beg, to eipostulate. His message
was insolently disregarded, and, the irritation assuming
a threatening aspect, Mohammed Beg was obliged to
surround the party by ca,•asses in order at once to pro-
tect and get them out of the Mosque. The Times adds
"that an English lady (?) was foremost in this disgrace-
ful affair. We may take this opportunity of observing
that the conduct of the Indian cadets cannot be other-
wise designated than as systematically disgracethl in
their passage through Egypt, and has become a matter
of serious complaint and representation to the British
authorities."
