details. Suffice it now to warn our governors,
and the Germans who would govern them, that to
dream of restoring the hard-won Crimea—the
invaluable guarantee—to Russia would raise a
revolution in the country, and would blast with
universal execration ANY individual suspected of
being the real mover in so infamous a concession.

The conduct of the present Viceroy of Egypt
stands out in marked contrast to that of his pre-
decessor. Though greatly superior to him in
many respects, he has by no means shown that
dutiful devotion to his Suzerain which, politically
speaking, redeemed to a considerable extent the
errors of SAID PASHA. The latter, it is well
known, put all the resources of Egypt into requi-
sition in support of the SULTAN in his conflict
with Russia—the former, now that the nemssities
of the Turkish Empire are greater and more
urgent than ever, appears desirous to lend as
little assistance to his Suzerain as possible. Though
the forces of the SULTAN have been deplorably re-
duced in numerical strength, and further recruiting
from the greatly diminished population is exceed-
ingly difficult, so far from despatching troops to the
aid cf his SOVEREIGN, he actually grudges the
soldiers needed to put down a local revolt in the
province of Tripoli. To the SULTAN'S request for
troops for this purpose, his only reply has hitherto
been a resultless inquiry about the screw steamers
at Alexandria.

The cause of this reluctance to support his
SOVEREIGN, to whom his family] owes a he redir
tary throne, would appear to be ambition, pos-
sibly stimulated by Russian intrigue. The career
of MEHEMET ALI has probably suggested a similar
one, to be commenced under apparently more
advantageous circumstances. It is stated that to
an intrigue, in which the VICEROY was an
influential party, REDSCHID PASHA owed his
dismissal, and that the viceroy chafes at the fact
of the tribute he pays being handed over
to France and England, whereby a stronger
hold is obtained of his allegiance. This much
seems certain—that the Porte has expressed its
sense of his conduct to the Allied Powers, and
that they regard it in a light so far from favour-
able to the Pasha that the latter, while hastening
to lay his defence before the Governments of this
country and France, thought better of it, and
turned back before he reached Marseilles. It un-
doubtedly is not easy for one in his peculiar posi-
tion to escape misrepresentation by parties in-
terested in promoting differences between him
and his Suzerain, and due allowance should be
made on this account ; but the present is not a
time to resent such misrepresentation by with-
holding supplies, while, if the ambitious views at-
tributed to him have really foundation in fact,
the Allied Powers have reasons strong enough to
induce them to put in an irrevocable veto to their
accomplishment. It cannot be tolerated that
while the aggressions of Russia are resisted
vi et antis, the treachery of an Egyptian Viceroy
should be winked at or overlooked.

Ere the harvest in Wallachia and Moldavia
had well begun, we urged on our Government
the clearance of the mouths of the Danube. The
importance of the recommendation has now be-
come more apparent than ever. Mark-lane re-
minds us of it three times a week, aul our baker
daily. Independently of military and political
considerations, we are feeling, both in France and
England, the want of what the fleeced inhabitants
of the provinces would be glad to sell us. We
have had rather defective, they abundant harvests.
Free traffic with us would, in some measure, com-
pensate them for Russian and Austrian exactions.
There is nothing in the way but the Russian
gun-boats near the mouth, and a few strand bat-
teries ; of either of these Sir E. LYONS could
satisfactorily dispose in a short time. France
was sending out a large number of river steamers
a short time back. We had hoped they might be
intended to clear the Danube for trade. As we
mentioned on the former occasion, to open the
trade with the Danube would facilitate greatly
the supplies needed for the East. The state of
the English and French corn markets, however,
and the claims of the provinces, are sufficient
reasons for bestirring ourselves in this matter.

If any anything could degrade yet lower the
most selfish and perfidious Court in Europe, it is
that Austria should have occupied the provinces
all this time, professedly in aid of the SULTAN
and the Allies, and that the Danube should not
even yet be free. Russia dare not oppose what
Austria had courage or inclination to demand
there. She has probably neither. She can oc-
cupy territory which, till Sebastopol foil, she
thought she might one day appropriate. She
could plunder the inhabitants, murder the men,
and violate the women. She could uphold the
Russian tool, STIRBEY, and make him equally sub-
servient to herself ; but one worthy deed—such
as opening to trade their and her great river—
this she has not even attempted. It would
benefit the provinces, and the Allies, and annoy
Russia ; reasons sufficient for Austrian inaction.

The Prussian government intends causing numerous
excavations to be made in Greece, and sending two
savans to superintend them.

magical performances. In the course of the entertain.
ments their juvenile band played the National Anthem,
Partant pour la Syrie, and other pieces, which obtained
deserved commendation from the excellence with which
they were executed. Much amusement was occasioned
at the termination of the performance by the nationality
displayed by the boys on Mr. Anderson preseatinc, each
with the flag of either England, France, Turkey, or
Sardinia. The union jack was in general request, whilst
the tricolors of France and Sardinia were politely de-

public charities to his Saturday morning entertainments.
