THE Eoirrrtax Sueer-satoN.—The question of
the Egyptian succession has undergone no change during
the wWc. The Porte is understood to have definititely
consented to the limitation proposed by the Viceroy, and
is prepared to ask tho sanction of the other powers, but
as yet none of these have been formally applied to, and
have therefore expressed no opinion on the subject. It is
probable, however, that now the question is one mainly of
domestic concern between the Porte and its umbel, neither
our own nor the French government will offer onions qvo-
sition to the change, and if so the value of Mustapha Fasyl
Pasha's reversion can hardly be considered great.— Levant
Herald, May 23.

ARTS.—Last evening this society held a conrersazione at
