TEE SULTAN AND THE DOVER CORPORATION.
At a meeting of the Dover corporation on Thursday
a letter was read from M. Musurtui, the Turkish ambas-
sador, forwarding the reply of the Sultan to the address
presented to his Imperial kLaiesty upon his disembarkation
at Dover on the previous }ridgy. The reply was in the
zollowing terms :—" It is with sincere pleasure that I re-
ceive your address the moment I step on the hospitable
soil of England. For a very long time I desired to come
to Europe, and, above all, to England, to sec those centres
of civilization, and in the name of my country to discharge
• debt of gratitude to your great and noble nation."

DEPARTURE OF THE VICEROY OF ECFYPT.—The
Viceroy of Egypt embarked at the Admiralty Pier yester-
day morning, baring brought his visit to this country to a
termination on Thursday, when he took leave of the Sultan
at Buckingham Palace. His Highness left London on
Thursday night, travelling by a special train of the South-
Eastern Railway from Charing-crow' station, and arriving
at Dover shortly before 11 o'clock. He occupied the state
saloon belonging to the South Eastern Railway Company.
Owing to the lateness of the hour at which the train
reached Dover, there was no guard of honour in attend-
ance, but the commandant of the garrison, General Ellice,
Colonel Elwyn, R.A., Colonel Greaves, the Admiralty
Superintendent, Captain Bruce, R.N., and other
officers were at the railway-station to receive his
highness. Upon alighting from the train the
Viceroy, who was attended by Rajhib Puha and
Nuba Pasha, and by Mr. Larking, his highness's agent
in this country, and accompanied by Major• General
Francis Seymour, C. 8., and Colonel Staunton, was,
together with his numerous suite, at once conducted to
Birmingham's Lord Warden Hotel, where the state apart-
ments had been got in readiness for the reception of the
illustrious visitors, and where they pissed the night. The
departure of his highness wu fixed for eleven o'clock yes-
terday morning. The Admiralty steam sloop.Helicon,2guns,
Commander Edward Field. which was specially ordered for
the conveyance of his highness and snits across the Chan-
nel, was moored in the roadstead, with the Liverpool 39
guns, Captain Seocombe, and the Phoebe, 30 guns, Cap-
tain Bytheses, the latter to be employed as an escort, the
whole having arrived from Spitbead on the previous
night. Guards of honour of the sth Fusiliers and the
51st Regiment were in attendance, with bands and
colours, the former being drawn up in front of the prin-
cipal entrance of the Lord Warden' and the latter stationed
upon the Admiralty Pier. The guards were in attendance
s couple of hours before the Viceroy's departure, during
I which interval the band of the Fusileers performed a
selection of popular music, apparently to the great satis-
faction of some members of the Viceroy's retinue, who
sauntered up and down in front of the hotel, smoking
their cigars and engaged in oouversation. Shortly before
eleven o'clock the Helicon steamed alongside the Ad-
miralty l'ier and was moored in front of one of the com-
modious landing places, which had been covered with
crimson cloth, and in about twenty minutes the
Viceroy and the principal personages of his suite were
driven from the Lord Warden Hotel in two open carriages.
There was a large crowd of spectators, and their saluta-
tions were politely acknowledged by the Vioeroy. Major-
General Seymour and Colons l Staunton accompanied his
Highness on board, and took leave of him, after which the
Helicon was unmoored and left, royal salutes being fired
from the Castle batteries, and from the Phoebe and Liver-
pool, through which the Helicon steamed, bearing at her
main the crimson ensign with the stars and crescent with
which we have of late grown so familiar, and attended by
the Admiralty steam yacht Vivid, the crews of the frigates
manning the rigging. There was a stiffish breeze blowing,
but the sea in the Channel was less turbulent than it had
been on any day during the week, and there was every
prospect of a favourable passage.
THE DEPARTURE OF THE BELOIANB.—The Bel-
gians will leave Somerset-house on Monday at 11 o'clock.
arriving at Palace-yard at 11.30. They will embark at
noon at the House of Commons Stairs and proceed to
Gravesend in steamers, and it is expected that many of
the vessels in the river will be decorated for the occasion.

THE FRANCHIsIi AND THZ NIT/ POOR-LAW BILL.
—A deputation from the Reform League waited yester-
day, in the lobby of the House of Commons, upon Mr.
Sclater-Booth, Mr. Graves, Mr. P. A. Taylor. Mr. Alder-
manLusk, Mr. Denman, and other members of parliament,
with reference to a clause, proposed by Mr. Poulett Scrope,
to be inserted in the Poor-law Board, &c., Bill. Mr.
lieales explained that the proposed clause gave power to
the board of guardians of every poor-law union to exempt
from the payment of parish rates all such persons within
their respective districts as shall be considered by them
unable, through poverty, to pay such rates, either
by a special order to that effect, in reference to
individual cases, or by a general order discharging from
payment of rates all persons occupying tenements under
such fixed rateable value, not exceeding 41, as the board
might in their discretion determine. He said that the effect
of this would be to create a limitation in the franchise as
granted by the Reform Bill, and to confer a most improper
power on boards of guardians. It would, moreover, place
• dangerous temptation in their way to interfere with the
franchise of a large body of the people, under the pretence
of excusing them from rates. The general scope of the
observations of the hon. gentleman in reply was that, as •
matter of coarse, every opposition would be given to any
proposition the effect of which would be to neutralise the
results expected from the Reform Bill.
