THE TRANSIT THROUGH EGYPT.

(ISTILACT MOM ♦ INITTATI LITTZL)
CAIRO, Dic. 26, 1867:

We have all been detained here (Cairo) for the '
het week, in oonnernme of the Alma steenter bneildeg Ist,
shah. For three days we have been huddled op in various
hotels, some with rooms, otters without, waiting the tele-
graph anarmenchig the Alma's snivel at Boer. It is a Mete-
fill boilers this, sad thee seems to be little chance of our
getting off befogs the 6th proximo, if then. Thee we no
ctn.,. steamers. The Oriental wee at Bore, bat having best
°cabstand he the tionveyence of troops to Madras and Bur-
=Nee, the agent would not take the reeporibility of detain-
isg then. The Abialia, another, but • government
war stammer, was fortunately near Sues, sad was
hailed to carry • detachment of 340 troops which
had already been detained nearly six weeks. Owing to
this contretemps we have all been put to rad straits; for one
whole week we have had to go without our baggage, which
was forwarded on to Sum the night we got to Alexandria.
This morning some of the berme has been brought back—
many boxes brutes apparel hanging out, carpet bags out
open—other boxes Mitering (mine among the number). To
add to our grievances, hotel expanses at the rate of IS. • day,
money getting scarce among the passengers. Hotel arrange-
ments are abominable, owing to the crush of people. I could
net get a room at all, though I spoke about it several times—
now comes dropping in. Ido not know what I should hays
done bad not Need me • couch in his room. All the
young ensigns are in a great way for want of means. The
ladies are man inoolvadenced than any of us. If
we go to the agent, he always manages to be
out of the way. The agent of the Transit Company lives
at Alexandria, so we cannot get hold of him except by letter.
Ia feet, that) is no one to refer to when one wished to maks
inquiries. As for money, there seems little chance of
Ming It—only me blinking agency here, who reties@ to
avarice but on letters of credit, end only to the amount
therein specified. It is osloulated that upwards of 1,0001.
will be required by ell the pamengers together if we ere de-
layed hers a fortnight. Everything is expensive—food
Infamous. No attendance at the hotels unless one hire* •
dragomen; every hole and corner full of dirt, dust, and dis-
comfort ; if one wants to get clew, one must pay for • cold
bath, and here it is essential to keep clean more than in any
other Flees. We are compelled to remain here, being with-
out mesas and without knowing when we can get away.
All the pmeengers are indignant at the way they have
keen treated, and have had numerous meetings, noisy and
demonstrative. I have no doubt that many letters of coin.
phit will appear to the English papers In come-
queen For all the delay and disoomfort is owing to
the IPiellemalar and Oriental Company neglecting to
parrik ten litra steamer at Suez to meet such
111•1111.111111) end it is the acond time the public
line been se sheeelolly treated. The Australian passengers
were eindlarly detained, it is understood, foe elm weeks.
Troops are cluthinally arriving, and will have to suffer a
similar detention, and probably with worse accommodation.
The detachment wee huddled sway at Sues in • dirty cold-
shed. Everything mama the appearance of disorder sad
mismanagement. /deny civilians are sufferers in =ether
pecuniary point of Caw, as they have to return to their ap-
pointments within a oertsin time, but which they cannot Dow
do, and even stand • chance of forfeiting them. A judge of
the Budder, Madras, tells me he lives at the rats of 105. per
diem, another Si, and so on. All of as losing about a fort-
night's pay and service.
A meeting ham been celled to consider what steps should
be taken to recover from the Peninsular and Oriental Com-
pany compensation for expenses, de., incurred from the
incident to the Alma. This vowel had to leave 35 of her
paseengers at Aden, of all please, where they are fed sad
lodged at the expense of the Company. We have written to
the agent in this eoentry and await his reply. The Naha is
expected from Calcutta. She has hewn Rade so es to tansy
NO soldiers, independent of the nand complement of pima-
sere, end she is the corresponding vessel to the nail of Dec.
20, from Lands, e that many, if not all el as, will have to
be deck preassera haring paid 100 i. it propwasseanseds,
boa. Many, it Is expected, will have to raw& beldad.
