THE EGYPTIAN VICEROY.

His Royal Highness Said Pacha, attended by the
distinguished personages who accompany him on his visit to
England, and by his retinue of servants, about seventy in
number, left Dover yesterday morning by special train of the
South Eastern Railway. It was originally the intention of his
highness to proceed for his destination on Tuesday evening,
a few hours after landing, but the direful roll of Le Corse
had so disastrous an effect on the somewhat delicate
organisation of the Eastern Viceroy as to render
necessary, before proceeding, • night's repose at
the Lord Warden Hotel. The special train
which had been ordered for the journey was
therefore countermanded till yesterday morning at 9 o'clock,
when it took its departure for the Woolwich Arms&
station, attended by Yr. C. W.' Eborall, the general
manager, and Mr. J. P. Knight, traffic superintendent el
the South• Eastern Companj. Guards of honour of the
59th and 83rd Regiments were in attendance, besides •
crowd of military officials. The Mayor of Dover (Mr. J.
Birmingham) was also present at the railway station, to at-
tend his royal highness's departure. The royal dandled
was hoisted at the Castle and the different fortifications at
the other extremities of the town, and on the state train
moving out of the station a royal salute was discharged
from the Cagle batteries.
The distinguished visitors, who arrived at the Arsenal-
I station of the North Kent Railway at IL2O, were met by
Major-General Sir B. Decree, commandant of the garrison,
Major Field, Deputy Maiden: Quartermaster-General, and
, Brigade-Major Milward, with the Royal Artillery band, and
kr military guard of honour composed of 100 men. His
highness and suite having alighted from the train the guard
presented arms, and the band performed the National
Anthem. His highness then entered the carriage of the
Turkish ambassador, other carriages having been provided
for the suite, end the party, accompanied by General
DIMS and other officers, immediately proceeded to the
Royal Arsenal pier, off which the splendid Egyptian steam
yacht had been moored a few hours previously. After
taking leave of General Decree his highness and suite em-
barked on board the morel, amidst the firing of • royal salute
by • detachment of artillery from the east wharf battery.
His highness has stated that, in consequence of feeling
much fatigued, he intends to remain on board the vessel
during Thursday, and on Friday he will inspect the several
departments of the Royal Arsenal. About twenty of the
suite proceeded to London ; but his highness's band,
consisting of 26 musicians, embarked on board the yacht.

A Paris correspondent of the Nord has the fol-
lowing story, to which few who know anything of our Lon.
don places of amusement will give credsnos :—" A Preach-
man belonging to a family the name of which held in the
last reign an elevated rank in manufactures and in official
life, was walking • few evenings ago in Cremorne Gardens,
the Melilla of Loudon. In one of the saloons of that
py establishment he perceived two framed pictures, one
representing the Emperor of the French walking with the
Empress, the other also representing him, but with a oom-
paid= of • very different kind sod of a very bad kind.
K. not finding that pleasantry to his taste, stopped
before this last picture, and with • light blow of his can
broke the glue which protected the representation. There
was • great commotion in the establishment, a crowd
assembled, policemen intervened, and the master
of the garden threatened M. with arrest.
Without being at all disconcerted, Y. —, who knows
English perfectly, defended himself with these simple
worda, 'What would an Englishman say if he saw in•public
place in France the Queen giving her arm to • porter, to a
ahoeblack, or to some other equivocal personage? Hs thee
offered to pay for the glass. The master profited by the
occasion to demand of him 31. sterling— very namable,
certainly, fora square worth • shilling ! "
