THE VICIROT OF ZGYPT.

i
i

It is incredible to the Tina that the government can
be so deceived as to suppose that the displays of
cheap attention in the course of the journey, of
which Lord Stanley spoke last night, or even the
posting of a sentry at the hotel door in Brook-street,
will in the least degree make amends to the Viceroy
for the indignity of lodging him in an hotel. The proposal
would appear sufficiently unseemly in the case of a Euro-
pean, but everyone who has the least acquaintance with
the customs and ways of thought of Orientals must be
well aware how much mom keenly they would feel on
such a point. In the hotel 'elected the Viceroy could
enjoy no real privacy either within doors or without.
Such men as Lord Stanley must be well aware how
strongly all these points would be felt by an Oriental.
and it is impossible to discover any excuse for their
proposal. If the Sultan is to be entertained at Bucking-
ham Palace, why should not the Viceroy of Egypt be treated
with similar respect' for there can be no comparison
between the claims which the two sovereigns have
on this country. There are state MOMS at St.
James's Palace which are entirely unoccupied. Clarence
House would, perhaps, be better than any other re-
sidence at the present moment. It has only lately
been decorated and put in repair for the Duke of
Edinburgh ; but his royal highness has left England for
two years, and it would incommode no one if his house
were placed for a few days at the Viceroy's disposal. But
even if nothing resembling a Palace can be obtained, there
are many house■ in London not unworthy the residence of
a prince, and which would be at once placed at the dispo-
sal of the government if the request were made. Take,
for example, Chesterfield House, the residence of Lord
Abereorn, who is now installed in the Viceregal Palace at
Dublin.

The Sultan with his son and his two nephews
paid a visit yestereay morning to the Prince of Wales at
the Hotel Bristol, Paris.

The Duke of Richmond has fixed to-morrow, at
the Board of Trade, for the Marquis of Clanricarde, the
Earl of Lucas, Mr. Blake, M.P., Mr. Moneell, M.P., Mr.
Gregory, M.P., Mr. Lanyan, M.P., Mr. O'Reilly, M.P.,
and the other members of the committee of Irish Peers
and Commoners to bold their first conference with the
committee appointed by the Cabinet, to consider the pro-
posal submitted to Lord Derby for the purchase, email.
dation, and management, through a Parliamentary Com-
mission, of the lAA lines of railway.

The select committee on the arrangement of
the House of Commons met yesterday, and examined
Mr. Barry, architect of the New Palace of West-
minster. Suggestions for enlarging the interior of the
Chamber were offered by Lord Elcho and Mr. Lanyon, and
Mr. Barry was instructed to consider bow far they could
be made practicable, and to report to the committee at its
next meeting, which will be in about 10 days. It is pro-
posed to make the house oval instead of square ; to place
the Treasury Bench and the front Opposition Bench in
the middle of the Chamber; to set back the Speaker's
chair; and to throw into the body of the Chamber the
seats now reserved for peers and distinguished "stran-
gers."
