" The advice' from Alexandria," aaya the Times,
"mention some facts rvgarding the Bank of Egypt which
had formed a topic of lively attention in that city. El
Hami Pacha, eon of the late Viceroy of Egypt, and son.in-
law of the Sultan, is, it appears, a debtor to the bank for
advances made to him on certain securities. /laving been
on a visit to Egypt he was about to return to Constanti-
nople, when the manager of the Bank of Egypt applied,
through the British Consulate, to have him detained. The
Consul communicated with the Viceroy, and the anger
aroused in the court by the offered indignity is stated to
have been intense. His highness stated that be could not
under any circumstances stop the departure of El Hami
Pasha, and the British Consul seems to have fully con-
curred in that view. The viceroy and princes of the family
are since alleged to have closed their accounts with the
bank."
