by the shore, and cheered lustily as the royal party passed.

MUTILATION OF THE LEAK. —A letter from
Alexandria (Egypt) in the Me ~e•ter cbt Midi states that
an accident lately took place on the railway bridge over
the Nile of Kafres-Zaiat from the bursting of a boiler, t y
which seven persons were killed and a great many
wounded. "I have also." says the waiter, "to mention
the catastrophe to an English family, whose boat was
capsioxl in the Nile, where all were drowned except a
young girl rescued by an Arab. Sauce then the friends
of the victims hare been strenuously demanding that
search should be made for the discovery of the bodies, but
the Arabs have shown a marked reluctance to act, and
the bodies of the father and one of the feuisle ate•
vants were brought up in a net without their aid. Two
Greeks afterwards found the corpse of another servant on
the opposite bank. A finger and the extremities of both
ears had been cut. off to obtain possession of the gold orna-
ments. Just as the body was being buried a great number
of Arabs came down and forced the Creeks to throw it
beck again into the river to prevent discovery of the muti-
lation. Yon may imagine that the English here
greatly irritated at all this, and their consul has demanded
prompt and severe justice from the Viceroy. The chekk
et the village where the act was committed is person:diy
responsible, and has uttered a large sum to prevent the
affair from being followed nia. Bat the English have re-
jected all proposals of that nature, Lad it as hoped Oast
' the goverwiltEt Will continue jessible."
