EGYPT.

Advices have been received from Alexandria to
the ith. The circular restricting the exportation of
corn appeared to have been abandoned by the go-
vernment, probably on account of the strenuous oppo-
sition which it encountered.

The government had not replied to the protest of
the (lonsuls•Ocneral, but it is a tact that the measures
which it decreed have not been executed. The ves-
sels with corn from Upper Egypt continue to descend
the Nilo without obstacle. This attempt at mono-
poly, so clumsily concerted, could not have failed
more pitiably. The general news is not without in-
terest ; Edhem Pacha, Minister of Foreign Affairs
to the Viceroy, had arrived at Alexandria, and had
suddenly left far Constantinople, where it is said he
is charged with a confidential mission relative to Said
Puha.

On 28th Sept., the day on which Edhem Pacha
arrived, an Ottoman steamer conveyed Sheriff Pache
to Alexandria. lie was Governor-General of Syria
in the timo of the Egyptian occupation, and subse-
quently Minister of Finance and President of the
Grand Council of Mehemet Ali. Disgraced on the
accession of Abbas Pasha, in common with most of
the old servants of the last reign, Sherif Fiche had
to leave Egypt and proceed to Constantinople, where
he was well received. The Divan immediately
confided high functions to him ; amongst others,
those of governor of a province ; and more re-
cently he was nominated member of the Council
of State. It would appear that it is to Fuad Effendi
that be owes his return to favour. The French
steam frigate the Magellan arrived in the port of
Alexandria, on the 29th ult., from Toulon, It left
the latter place on the lath September, and touched
at Tunis and Tripoli. Count Bacciochi, master of
the ceremonies to the Prince President, was on board
of it; he was charged with a mission to send preterits
from the Viceroy, and to assure him of the President's
good wishes.

the spot with Sergeant Speller, 27 0, and ether constables,
who found her lying on her face in the manner described.
The pollee mind her up, bat her features were
so bruised, beaus, and disfigured, that they
could not be recognised. The police conveyed her
to the Royal Free Hospital, when the house surgeon in-
stantly attended, and by great exertions sureeded in re-
storing her to consciousness, when, in answer to questions
as to how she erne into that state, she replied, " hill, the
potman of the Bell, did it." Upon further examining her
person, the ssegeos found brier over the chest, left arm,
on the face, and other portions of her body. As the sr-
geon'a opinion was very unfavourable, sad as she persisted
in charging the potman, the police arrested him, when the
latter declared that he had nothinit to do in the transaction.
Sergeant Speller then brought him fate the woman's pre-
seer. Upon seeing him she stretched out her haled, and
pointing to the Pvienn, rid, " That's he--that's he who
did it.' Sergeant Speller thereupon took him before the
magistrates of Clerkenti ell. who, r the woman we. not
dead, and might recover, admitted him to bail. The
woman, however, gradually sank, and died. Several
times before the deceased's heath, and when she wee con.
scions of her approaching dissolution the potman was
brought before her eves in different clothe., sad recognised
by her as her assailant. A few minutes before her death
she repeated the declaration.
RAISING THE MILI2IA.—The first practical liter
necessary for the embodiment of the militia for this dis-
trict have been commenced this week by Sergeant Bates,
an old militia °Meer, and so far es that oMeer's exertions
have proceeded it may be fairly presumed that the required
number for this borough will be raised without having re-
course to the ballot. The number required for the whole
of the borough are 272, which are thus divided :—Oreen-
nich, 96; Woolwich, 98 ; St. Paul, Deptford, 58 ; and et.
Nicholas, Deptford, 20. This is the number stated, but it
most be borne in mind that this is liable to a reduction ht
the whole three towns, on account of the military, dock-
yards, and pensioners, so that the number will fall short of
the 272 stated. On Thursday the volunteer' were attested
at the house of Sir T. M. Wilson, Hart., Major of the West
Kent Helpmeet of Militia, when the number that presented
themselves amounted to 121. Or these 71 took the requi-
site oaths, and the remaining 63 have passed the surgeon's
inspection, but owing to tho inability to fill up the pre-
scribed forms, they were directed to come up on Thursday
next for that purpose. Yesterday (Friday) Sergeant Hates
had a number of others present themselves fur the service,
and al ether he is of opinion that his duties will be much
lighter than wu enticipated.—KeterWA Mercury.

The yellow fever iii bull alarmingly virulent in the
West Indies. At Martinique the French admirure
ship is laid up at Fort Royal, he having !eat all his
men to navigate French merchant ships which had
lost their crews from the fever. Out of ...Off troops
who manned the town garrison, 300 had died; and
out of the artillery force of 120 men ut Furt hovel,
80 had died. At Demerara the fever had beta
chiefly confined to the shipping: many of the ehips
• were lying there without a man on board. At St.

of fever were at St. Thomas and Antigua when the
