THE PAOHA OF EGYPT.

We published, says Galignani, a few days ago, a
letter from the correspondent of a London newspaper at
Alexandria, in which, it will be recollected, the writer
stated that the principal cause of Said Pacha's visit to
Europe was helisved to be " his positioa as regarded the
Salton," and that he would " endeaeour, by personal in-
terviews with the ministers of France and England, to
counteract the repreeentallons that have been made against
him." A corre•pondent, in whale trostworthinua we place
implicit reliance, has addressed us, in refutation of thou
allegations, a letter of which a sense of impartiality compels
u to subjoin the most salient portion :
"The suppoetion (he writes) in which thou accusations
testis not only gratuitous, but radically false. No vassal of
the Sultan ever gave his sovereign so many proofs of
fidelity and devotedness. Since the commencement of the
war, Egypt has ever been in advance with her tribute;
she has lent Turkey the most efieetsal assistance, has sent
the whole of her navy to the Bleak See, and Weighed a
contingent of no less than 37,000 men. Her co-operation
hunt only been remarkable for the seal and good-will
with which is was contributed, but also from its important
result+. It will sullies to neall the circumstance that
Bilistria, the long and eventful siege of which cost the
Hessians more than 30,000 men, and whisk dime-
meted all previous calculations touching the relative
value of the Muscovite and Ottoman soldier", was
defended principally by the Viceroy's forces. At the
battle of Eupatoria the Egyptians also malady contributed
to repel the attack of the Russians ; and several *Seers of
high rank were *Wed and wounded on this occasion.
Moreover, the Egyptian admiral soon after perished at sea
in a storm, while in the performance of his arduous duties;
and the Porte took this opportunity of *sprouting to Said
Pasha how highly the Salta. appreciated the Sertiqi he
was rendering the common cease, with so mach seal and
devotedness. This being the real state of the case, it is
obvious that the elicitation of the Porta having made our-
sgainst the Pachs of Egypt la not only devoid of
foundation bat itzsetly the reverse of the fact. The real
motive of the Pacha's journey to Europe was to visit the
Universal Bahibitioe, and to study the many improvements
in mechanical sad manufacturing arcs, which denote
the progress of industry and civilisation, and the assemblage
of which from all parts of the world, in one common focus,
while so gigantic a struggle is going on, is not one of the
least wonderful events of this wonderful age.

SINGULAR CASE.

At the Salford Town-hall, on Thursday, a man
named John Griffiths was brought up on rimend, before
Mr. Tr.fford, thirsted with unlawfully obtaining and run-
ning away with 7151., under the 'allowing circumstances:—
Rome time elves the prisoner wee in partnership with Mr.
Farrell (as joiners and builders): they became bankrupt,
and their partnership ceased. Afterward, two perions,
named Brownbill and Lawton, carried on business with
Griffiths; but as some of Mews. Farrell and Griffiths*
accounts remained to be tattled, an excuse existed for
Griffiths being frequently about Messrs. Brownbill and
Co.'s purlieu. A short time since the Lancashire and
Yorkshire Railway Company tent notice to Messrs. Brown-
hill and Co. that they were prepared to pay the sum of
7151. in question. The notice was in the following terms :
"Notice.—You are requested to apply for the payment of
your account, amountir g to 7161., on Friday, the 21st inst.,
at one o'clock. If you cannot, then the authority at the foot
must be signed in favour of the party authorised to receive
?almost os your account."
lois was signed by the treasurer of the Lancashire and
Yorkshire Railway, and it was received by Messrs Brownbill
and Co. at their place of business, where it had no doubt
been seen by the prisoner, whn, on the de, in question, pre-
sented himself—not at one o'clock, but at a much earlier
hour—at the Aloes of' the company, and obtained cheques
for the amount, which he got cashed during the morning,
and which was discovered when one of the firm went to the
c.:mpany's offices, intending to receive the cheque.
Griffiths was pursued and apprehended, but only 15s. of
the money was recovered. Messrs. Brownbill and Co. gave
the company notice that Griffiths war in custody, but the
railway authorities replied, "lie has robbed you, not as,
and you may prosecute it you Vase." Messrs. Brownbill
and Co., on the other hand, contended that the company
eight to prosecute. Griffiths was therefore discharged,
there being no charge against him.
To explain the above singular proceedings (says the
Manchester Guardian, it must be stated that the railway
company, by prosecuting Griffith,, would have admitted
that the money was obtained from theca, and that they
were therefore halite to pay Messrs. Brownbill and Co. the
whole amount; and the company do not of course wish to
pay the money twice. Messrs. Brownbill, by prosesuting,
would have admitted their receipt of the money, sad thus
have invelidsted their present supposed claim upon the
railway company. lied the 7161. been recovered with the
prisoner, there would probably have been no diffiatalty es to
who should prosecute.

DECORATIONS FOR PRIVATE SOLDIERS.

We read in the London Gazette of Friday last :

The Queen has bean pleased to grant unto private Andrew
Anderson, of the Sappers and Miners, her royal license
and permission that he may accept and wear the Order of
the Medjidie, which the Sultan has titen pleased to e‘ufer
epoa him in approbation of his distinguished bravery and
good conduct at the passage of the Danube on the ith July
last, and subsequently in rescuing the body of his cam-
minding ofßcer, Lieutenant Burke, after he had fallen
and that he may enjoy all the rights and privileges there.
unto annexed; provided, nevertheless, that her Mejesty's
said license and permission do not authorise and shall not
he deemed or construed to authorise the assunir tion of any
style, appellation, rank, precedence, or privilege appertain.
cog unto a knight bachelor of these realms.
And also to command that her Majesty's said concession
and especial mark of her royal favour be registered, lege_
ther with the relative documents, in her Majesty's College
of Arms.

It is an important step to have the honours of a
private soldier registered in the books of her
Majesty's College of Arms. And yet the care that is
taken in the above order to record a protest against
the assumption of the title indicative of chivalry in
this country by the licensed wearer of a chivalric
badge, has a grudging and ungracious air about it.
And is it judicious to allow English private soldiers
to earn such decorations in foreign service, yet
withhold them from such as serve in our national
army ? This well-meant, though not very hap-
pily expressed, concession shows how much we
want a national order of merit that would embrace all
ranks. Our old orders are too narrow and exclusive for
such a purpose. The papers on the history of
the French Legion of Honour which we have re-
cently published are a striking comment on our
want. What a galaxy of talents—civil and martial
—artistic, literary, and civic—glitters in the original
muster-roll of the Legion of Honour! Such an order
now established in England would go far to fuse
the jarring elements of our society into a homo-
geneous whole, and nothing short of such a fusion
can ensure the permanence of our institutions. Let
some badge distinguish those who are best fitted to
serve their country in any rank and every capacity.
Those thus marked out from their fellows

would be zealous to convince men by their
actions that they deserved the distinction ;
and ambition to attain a badge, within the
reach of all grades of society, would stimulate

all to show themselves capable of serving their
country. The aristocracy of England has retained
more real power than that of any other European
State, because the line of demarcation between the
privileged and unprivileged orders has been left
vague and undefined. An order of merit, by bridg-
ing over the gulf that begins to yawn between the
proprietary and labouring classes, would obviate
• new danger by which the peace of society begins
to be threatened.—. Daily News.

THE POLICE COURTS.

GUILDHALL.
Mr. Pearce and Mr. Parry, of Ludgate-hill, attended for
the purpose of complaining of a practice which has lately
agowstg up, ;causing great injury to persons whose holism
required them to have expensive plate-glass in their win-
dows. A few days ago various attempts were made on
Ludgate-hill to break the windows of several shops ; tome
of the attempts succesZed, and they were all made nearly
simultaneously. It has been supposed on this account that
the damage was mused by some person in a cab. Mr.
Parry said he feared that a deeper motive than mischief had
instigatld the perpetration of the outrsge, and he hoped
that publicity would tend to suppress the system.
Mr. Alderman Carter said if any of the miscreants were'
brought before him upon such a charge they would be
pun•shed with the utmost severity, and he would direct the
police to be on the alert.
BOW-STREET.
James PAillips, of 171, Fetter-lane, was charged with re-
tailing spirits without Rheostat
From the statement made by the counsel for the prosecu-
tion, it appeared that the offence was committed oa Sunday
the Bth October.
James Jolae Moors, an exciseman, stated that he went to
the house kept by the defendant in Fetter-lane. It wags beer
shop He went there, in consequence of information gives
to him by a City policeman, about ball-past ten on the
morning of the day in question, accompanied by two other
persons. Having gained admittance they rolled for a quarters
of gin. The wife of Phillips supplied the gin from a bottle
taken from a cupboard. 4d. was paid for the gin. The police-
man who accompanied him, after having the gin, sug-
gested they should have a pipe and some beer. Phillips
then asked his wife if the room was ready, and.they were
taken to an upstairs room, in which were spitoons and seats.
They were in the house about 60 minutes, and during the
time they were there eight man and two children came in.
Phillips let them out, and in doing so be Paw other men
drinking in the tap-room. Phillips was then told that an
information would be laid again,' him for retailing spirits
without a license.
Mr. Hughes subjected the witness to a lengthened cross-
examination, with a view to show that the gin was given,
not sold.

THE BLACK SEA TELEGRAPH.

-•-• • -
MONKWEARMOUTH, SATURDAY NIGHT.

A 'splendid screw steamer to now loaded in the
dock in this town, and after adjusting her compasses, will
proceed to sea to-morrow, having on board a submarine
cable, 400 miles in length, which will be immediately laid
down to connect Varna with Baleklava. It is confidently
anticipated that these two important points will be con-
nected by submarine telegraph by the middle of next
month; and as the overland telegraph from Varna to
Bucharest will be fiatahed in the same time, the electric
communication of the Crimea with England will be com-
pleted. Portable apparatus will also be sent out, so that
whenever the :army moves in the Crimea the head-
quarters will be attached to the main line of tele-
graph. The apparatus to be employed has been
made for the occasion by Mum. Siemens and
Hula*, of Berlin. It is founded on Morse's telegraph;
but by • new discovery made by Mr. Carl Friscben,
engineer to the Hanoverian government, which has been
patented, the urns telegraphic wire can be made to
convey two messages in opposite directions at the same
time. Messrs.Newall and Co. received the order for this
important sub-marine cable only a month ago. Sixty
persons go out with the expedition. Captain Charles Gibb
Wilson, Admiralty agent ; Mr. Henry Woodhouse, civil
engineer; and Mr. Spencer, the manager of Messrs.
Newell's works, proceed with the vessel from Sunderland.
Captain Du Care, Royal Engineers ; and Mr. Liddell, of
the firm of Newel and Co., join her at Malta.

8114—Permit me through your columns to enter
my protest against the alliance of Piedmont with the
Western Powers. I know we may differ in opinion
on this head; but u the fact is, according to my
view, unfortunate for Italy, you will kindly allow
me to deplore the event. 'I an neither a republican
nor a Massinian, but only an advocate for a constitu-
tional monarchy in my dear Italy. I therefore
always looked to the King of Sardinia as the only
man likely to bnng about the independence and
unity of my country. Now this alliance with the
Western Powers will expose this very King to loss
all Italian sympathies, and with them the way to the
Capitol, without reaping any but a very doubtful
immediate advantage. I speak as an unfettered man
who considers only the true interests of his native
land. I apprehend, with regret, that all the bravery
of Piedmont in war, and all her steadiness in peace,
have been sacrificed to some diplomatic bargain.
The insertion of this will be a great favour to
