EGYPT.

The packet from Egypt, arrived at Maraciiio; on
the Ist, has brought news of a certain gravity. A
revolt has broken out in the Sennaur; the Pachn,
who commanded in that district and the Egyptian
troops under his orders, have been massacred. Greet
preparations were making at Cairo to dispatch troops
to put down the disturbance; hut the enterprise
appears to be difficult, from the state of exhaust Mn of
the country, and the difficultieN which have arisen
with the Porte. As to the latter, Abbas Paella hopes
to smooth them down by the mission of Pain, who
has been recently despatched to Constantinople. He
will, however, have to struggle against the active
and intelligent influence of Artim lieu, the disgraced
minister of the Pacha of Egypt, and since then his
most implacable enemy. The construction of a rail-
way across the Isthmus of Suez is officially announced.
Abbas Paella, who is, it is said, under the influence
of the Consul-General of Englund, has just publicly
declared that he will commence the work inane-
diatelv. Half the people employed on the line are
to be 'English.

The chair was to nby Mr. Alderman Silts sr, M.P.
The It MAN expressed gnat satisfaction at the op-
portunity of h. 101.! old, to forward any measure which would
tend to eit'argr the fort•iiit limited roll of freemen electors
and quite 'gees with the wording of the requisition, that
the nght of toting for aldermen and common touncilinen of
Landon ought to be eat oiled to all eitisen occupiers paying
seat and 111.1.111; lot Within the City of London.
Mr. 110u:wit:Li) inured a resolution derlaring that the
present roll of fr.eitien electors within the City of London
Is ilthiteli and eapne6ius, excluding many persons who
should be entitled to "de tor municipal tdlieer,
Mr. Itt:VJAMI N seconded the motion.
Mr. BOW El: admitted, as the advocate of the rights of
the existing treenecu of the City of London, that he could
go • considerate... way in support of this resolution for ex-
tending the elf of ticemen (hear, hear) - but he mould not
agree to any Me being permitted to l'ollle and reside in
that ward toe a short period, and thereby. obtain all the
privileges of those who, by long residence and the payment
of fines, had b. come puns eased of the right to vote fur muni-
cipal officer,. It was necessary to have a foundation fur
the corporation of the City of London, and 10,1111, kind of
payment fur tltit piorpoae. There was another difficulty,
wheel, was how tin) should get the government to give up
their portion of the fins.
The I'II.IIILMAN—They will give up theirs if you will
give up yours. (Ileac, hear.)
Mr. BUM ER was sorry to say that the City had fre-
quently Attempted to induce the l'hancellor of the Exche-
fuer to give up the tints, but they had never been success-
ul. (Bear, hear.) lie concluded by gloving an amend-
ment, which was an the spirit of the resolution, but did not
go quite to that extent as to granting the qualification.
Mr. SANtISTEIt agreed on the necessity of extending
the roll of freemen, which he thought highly necessary for
various reason', but insisted on more• qualification than the
residence of& year and a day within the City of London. A
inisuntlentanding had gut abroad in respect to this year and •
Jay, for it did not in ancient times per se constitutes freeman,
but was the limited time within which • man could take
up his freedom of the city, and thereby save himself from
servitude. Mr. Sitlipter concluded a very able speech by
seconding the amendment.
The CliAlitMAN put the amendment, which was lost,
and the original motion vies warned.
Mr. BESLEY moved • resolution to the effect that
every person occupying premises in the l'ity of London for
the period of • year and a day, paying scot and bearing lot
as • cituen, is entitled to all the benefits and privileges
and subject to all the duties thereof.
This, with another resolution in favour of quarterly

temperance question, took place last night at Exeter Hall,
Mr. C. Gilpin in the chair. The chairman said he eould
cite numberless instances from his own actual experience of
the blessed effects of temperance habits ; but on the present
maim it wasprirposed that they should have the oppor-

tanity of listening to those who could wore especially speak
I
of the benefits their own particular class of fellow workmen
had derived. The meeting was then addressed by several
working men engaged in different laborious occupations,
all bearing testimony to the practicability and (Mornay of '
