ANOTHER FATAL A CCIDENT AT THE. HAMPSTEAD PONDS.
—On Wednesday afternoon another fatal accident occurred
at a pond on Hampstead-heath, from bathing. The victim
in this instance is a youth named William Lynch aged 18
years, residing in York-road, St. Pancras. This is the
fourth accident of the kind which - has occurred at these
ponds within the last month. Surely some measures might
be taken either altogether to present bathing in them, or to
Tender its practice less dangerous.
_ ENGLISH. CAPITAL IN EGYPT. We are informed from
trustworthy sources that some Englishmen have taken up
the administration of the estates of his Highness Il Hama
Pasha, son of the late viceroy of Egypt. The estates are of
immense value, about 150,000 fellahs being employed. It
is to be hoped that under their auspices the valuable.
resoutses of this rich country will be fully and successfully
developed. This is the real conquest to which England
must aspire, and one more ennobling than any purchased at
the sacrifice of human life.

LUDICROUS COMMENTARY ON THE COMPETITIVE AND
EXAMINATION SYSTEMS —Sir Hamilton Seymour's son was
lately rejected at one of the preliminary examinations for
attacheships. Sir Hamilton was much annoyed., came,up
to town, and was permitted to inspect the examinaton
papers. In one orthem was the question, •" What are the
Dutch possessions in the East Indies'?" . His son an-
swered, "There are no Dutch possessions in the East Indies."
The examiner had treated the answer as a blunder of
ignorance. it Hamilton insisted on it that his son's
answer was quite right; that the Duteh.settlements in. the
East Indies—still given in all the maps and gazetteers
had been ceded to this country two years ago, in conside-
ration ton of a certain yearly payment. This was found to be
the case. Sir Hamilton procured a re-examination on the
blunder, anodr
