EGYPT.

A letter, dated Alexandria, Jan. 21, says Tho
Sultan has intimated his intention of removing
from Abbas Pasha and the future viceroys of Egypt
the power of life and death. It appears the Pasha
stated on the 18th to the representatives of the
live European powers, that, if deprived of this
authority, he apprehended the continuance of a
peaceful government to be impossible, and that he
now gave them notice he could no longer be account-
able for safety to person and property if this depri-
vation was insisted on. Mr. ltobert Stephenson
sailed from this port for England, in his lacht
Titania, on the 13th inst., having previously visited
the bed of Lake 'fimseh, and the Bitter Lakes on the
Isthmus of Suez, with a view to determine certain
geological filets respecting which doubts had been
entertained. Mr. Stephenson states that evidence
enough exists to show that, at a period by no means
remote, Africa must have been an island, and the
Mediterranean and Red Seas united. Ho has col-
lected scientific matter of considerable extent and
interest, and Ms researches will, doubtless, be given
to the world in one shape or other.

MALTA, JAN. 26.
Since my last-22nd 23rd inet.—vre have had a
second move among the ships : for u soon as the Corfu
mail by Medusa ►rrivcd, the remaining vessels were ordered
to get ready for sea, and on the following morning, 24th,
Bellerophon, Vengeance, and Trafalgar got under weigh,
the admiral having struck hii flag from Vengeance, and
hoisted it on board the Terrible, steam frigate. The fact
has caused some speculation.
Indefatigable, frigate, to relieve Phaeton, reached Corfu
on the 19th ; the latter was to sail for Malta on 22nd.
Scourge, steam-frigate, is expected hourly from Leghorn,
and on her arrival the Spiteful will proceed to Naples and
porta of Tuscany.

lONIAN ISLANDS

By telegraphic advices of the 2:ki we learn from
Corfu that the resignation of the President of the
Senate has been accepted by the Lord High Com-
missioner.

PRINCE. ALBERT AS A FARMER.—At Miohoolmu
last the Prince Consort extended his farming operations at
Windsor, by taking into his own hands Shaw Farm, which
he now occupies in addition to the Norfolk and Flemish
Finns. At the Shaw Fenn during the past week the
patent drainage plough, exhibited in the Crystal Palace,
has been in full operation, and the Prises as been en
attentive observer of this new method of the draining.
Just previous to the departure of Prince Leopold of Saxe
Coburg from the Castle, Prince Albert, accompanied by his
serene highness, and the Prince of Wales and l'rince
Alfred, spent two hours in the field when the plough was
at work, and appeared much pleased. The operation .f the
implement is perfectly novel. It not only cuts the orifice,
or drain, more than three feet below the surface, but it
drags after it the tubular tilea, and eompletes the work as
it goes on. The inventor is Mr. Fowler, of Bristol.
NEw Onstnrs.—An application was made to
Sir Chapman Marshall at Guildhall in the course of last
week for permission to submit an omnibus for his inspec-
tion, built after a model exhibited in the Crystal Palace,
and to-day it was drawn up in the Guildhall yard. It was
remarkable fur its perfect novelty of construction, which
coaristed in the seats, capable of accommodating ten pas-
sengers inside, being detached somewhat after the style of
thaw in that-clam railway carriages, and so contrived for
the passengers to sit with their faces to the horses, leaving
a clear passage up the certre of from 18 to 20 inches in
width, and six feet four inches in height. The passage is
covered iu by a semi-circular glass roof, by. which means
ample light is obtained. TIIC ventilation is effected by
an interstice over the windows in each compart-
ment, and i erforated metal panels to the door
of the vehicle, which altogether weighs no more when
loaded than the usual omnibuses. At the head of the
vehicle is an alarm tell to communicate to the driver and
conductor, and accessible to all the passengers. There are
also a couple of clips for newspapers, an almansek, Milli:s-
ten, and a lamp. The length of the *eats is 18 inches (two
more than is required by the statute), yet the omnibus is
not more than lour inches longer than the oldones. Alder
mean Wilson, Sir Chapman Marshall, Aldermen Finnic and
Challis and other magistrates, Ingetlo r with a great num-
ber of the mist extensive omnibus proprietors were present,
and highly approved of the construction and iuternal Coll.
venience of the vehicle. One of the proprietors, pointing
to the lsiap, said he hoped the magistrates would compel
every manilas* to have ow, as it was sadly wanted at night.
Alderman Wilson, after suggesting • few trifling altera-
tions tor the general improvement of the carriage, said it
was certainly a very comfortable vehicle. The omnibus,
which is still unfinished, is the produetiou of a private gen-
tleman, and not an omnibus proprietor.
