EGYPT.

(raox A.

ZAN. 11.

We are expecting every moment to hear that the
various high calkers and state functionaries who had arrow•
panird the Viceroy have returned to Cairo, they having re.
ceived injunctions to that effect. The Viceroy, with whom
la M. de Lampe, is expected to follow ere long, after a short
stay at Hartonin. Alarming rumours have lately prevailed
as to the state of the Viceroy's health, but they have turned
out to be groundless, and nothing has fortunately tramytted
to confirm them.
The Egyptian corvette in which Captain Phili,gret is to
conduct his observations in the Bay of l'elueittre started on
the 7th el January. She wee towed by the ',team frigate
Fees Dyalid. The corvette has cad anchor in the polities
where she is to be stationed, and where the depth is 33 feet.
Y. Phi:Henn was accompanied by M. Dasnaud, a lieutenant.
colonel of engineers. On their arrival at the anchorage they
found five merchant mailing mesas riding at anchor previous
to proceeding to take in cargo on the other side of the mouths
alike river beyond Damietta. This fact proves that tvesels
6o not at all fear anchoring off this coast, even at a season of
the per when Morels are frequent everywhere.
The expedition to the sources of the Nilo is still et the
same point, in consequence of the disagreement which has
seism among the members of the commisaion. The Grand
Council at Cairo is shortly to adopt some decision on the
subject.
Letters from Cairo state that the work:rem selected for the
preliminary operations in executing the fresh water canal,
have set out for their appointed iodination.

AN ENGLisit CLOWN IN FARTS.—Boswell, the
popular English clown of the Pates Cirque, appeared on
Thursday in the double capacity of defendant and corn-
lainant before the Tribunal of Correctional Police. As
defendant, he was charged with having asunked a trades-
man named Linck ; end as complainant, he represented that

but for his deg, and the tribunal believing him, dismissed the
complaint against him. As to Linde as it appeared that ha
