Sheriffs of London and a deptitation from the Court of
Common Council, composed of Alderman Sir Francis Gra-
ham Moon, Mr. It. N. Philipps, Dr. Saunders, Mr. J. C.

Affairs, and other of his officers of state,
received the civic authorities with much courtesy.

speaking in Arabic, which was afterwards interßreted
in English by Nubar Pacha, said in effect he
was much gratified by theaddrees which the Aldermen and
Common Council had presented to him through the Lord
i Mayor. The welcome he had received from all class.,of the
English community in the metropolis during', his stay here
would never he forgotten by him. It would be hie constant
t aim to encourage and foster commercial intercourse with
• this great city, because it was by commerce that Egypt
• must thrive and prosper. The facilities he had been able
to render to their country for communication with the
East and for the passage of their troops had been
afforded most willingly, as they would ever continue
to be, by him. He had experienced the greatest pleasure
in offering a welcome reception to all Englishmen who
had visited his dominions, and be should be gratified in
having an opportunity of sho-ring hospitality to the Lord
Mayor, or any of the members of the corporation, should
they ever visit Egypt, in return for the marked respect
and consideration be bad received at their hands. For the
kindly interest they took in the prosperity of his country,
and in his own happiness. he thanked them very much.
The address of the corporation will be eventually inclosed
in a casket of gold of the value of 100 guineas. The
Lord Mayor having presented to the Viceroy Mr. Sheriff
Waterlow and Mr. Sheriff Lycett ; Mr. H. N. Philipps, the
mover, and Sir Francis Moon, the seconder of the
addressli,lhe rest of the deputation, his highness took
leave them with many expres.ions of goodwill.

visited the House of Commons yesterday afternoon, and
took his seat on the bench appropriated to ambassadors
and foreigners of distinction behind the clock. His high-
Inns was joined shortly afterwards by Mr. Gladstone, and

shook hands and entered into conversation. His high-
ness remained in the house about twenty minutes, and
appeared to view the proceedings with great curiosity.
