Eoirrr.—The population of Egypt is estimated
to be shout three millions, of whom only one hundred and
fifty thousand are Christians, the remainder being chiefly
Mshomedens. The extreme length of Egypt is 520 miles,
and the breadth from 390 to 400 ; but the land capable of
cultivation does not exceed 17,000 square miles, a great
part being either desert or mountain. Wheat is the
principal crop, but coffee, sugar, tobacco and cotton are
easily raised and yield abundantly.

ROYAL ITALIAN OPERA.
The performances here on Saturday night con-
ei.ted of the overture and second act of Auber's Maas.
tiieflo ; and (for the first time this season) the Brothers
Ricci's comic opera Crispiao ela Cowan. This work sae
first produced at the Royal Italian Opera towards the
close of last season, and was then rendered especially
attractive by the rich comic humour of Signor Roocosi
as the cobbler, and the exquisitely refined singing sad
acting of Mane. Adelina Patti an the cobbler's wife—the
latter feature of the performance being still present
while the former is wanting. Absurd and far-fetched ae
the story is (these objections, however, being met by the
stale device of a dream), the incidents afford some good
comic situations, and opportunities for some lively music,
which being neither pretentious nor overprolonged is
to be accepted without much critical examination.
