EGYPT.

A letter from Alexandria, dated March 26, says : 1
" On Ismael's Pasha's accession he reported to Con-
stantinople the position in which he found the ques-
tion 01 the Suez canal, requesting full instructions.
The Porte having made no reply he will continue to
supply the accustomed number of labourers until
orders to the contrary are sent. The water for the
fresh water canal has hitherto been drawn from the
Canal de Molse, at Z agzig, and was quite insufficient,
besides injuring the natives, who required the water
for the irrigation of their fields. It has, therefore,
been decided to return to the original plan of exca-
vating a new canal fran the Nile, near Cairo, thus
obtaining at once a higher level, an ample supply
of water, and not interfering with native rights.
The Viceroy has determined to execute the work at

Ismael. Pasha, I understand, desires to develop',
the trade between Egypt and the Soudi.n, which
is susceptible of great extension ; the main obstacle
is the difficulty of communication and transport.
He is seriously considering the formation of a rail-
way from Assonan to Berber, connected with Cairo
by a line of steamers for passengers, goods, and an
express post. The passenger steamers in winter
are to be fitted up with every convenience for Eu-
ropean travellers.

It is intended, subsequently, to complete the line
between Cairo and Assonan, but as it is a great and
expensive work, it can only be accomplished by de-
grees without pressing too heavily on the flnancee,
which already have to bear the load of debt left by
the late Viceroy.
For the first time for some years the Bairam has
been celebrated at the Citadel with due pomp and
ceremony by Ismael Pasha ; it has beau a cause of
rejoicing
to the Caireens, as the great influx of high
dignitaries, accompanied by shoals of subordinates,
the foreign representatives, and the inhabitants of
Alexandria, who come up to offer their congratula-
tions to His Highness, has given a great impulse to
trade of all sorts. The Viceroy showed his laud,
courtesy and affability towards all who approached
him. _ _

The native population enjoy the feast in their
usual orderly and tranquil manner—no noise, the
greatest goodnature, peaceable towards one another
and unoffending towards strangers. Those who
accuse the Arabs of fanaticism and hostility towards
Christians allow themselves to be governed by
strange fancies and unreasooing timidity. Nowhere
in the world is there a more docile people, or one so
quietly and easily pleased with its amusements.

[AnvEßTlSEMENT.]—Holloway's Pills.—Trying Times.
—The wet, windy, or cold weather of the present season
tests the strength of the human constitution. Holloway's
Pills so completely purify the blood, so effectually perfect
digestion, and so naturally regulate both secretions and
excretions, that occasional doses can always be taken with
the most decided advantage when disease from atmospheric
influences threaten the health. Disorders of the body
mainly arise from impurities introduced from without ; ex-
pel them by this potent purifier, and disease will rarely
follow—a proposition abundantly clear to the commonest
capacity. It must be borne in mind that the certainty and
energy of action of these pills are much increased by
attention to diet and other rules explained in the " di-
rections."

rBENCH ACADEMY OP SCIENCES,

At the last sitting, M. Flourens read a paper on the dis-
tinctionorinflarnmation of the membranes coma
caused by chloroform. He
remarkedof
produced by a meningite,
between the state of
state the animal was under the influ
the brain, and the sleep
eneteheatf
complete pro-
stration, but did not sleep; that it kept its eyes shut,pro-
stration, but
would open them on the slightest occasion; that it could
see, hear, and feel, and was constantly shivering. In its
natural state the dog's pulse is at between 100 to 120 per
minute, and it breathes from 20 to 30 times per minute;
during coma the pulse does not exceed 90, and it
breathes 24 times. But the animal which is under the in-
fluence of chloroform really sleeps ; it snores and does not
open its eyes ; it can neither see, hear, nor feel ; the pulse
is at 60, and it breathes 16 times per minute. The brain of
the animal which has died of coma is all covered with red
spots, a mark of congestion; the brain of the animal that
dies of chloroform has no red spots, the vessels of the
dura-mater alone being gorged with blood. Hence,
in the case of coma, the congestion is intro-cere-
bral ; in the case of chloroform, extra-cerebral. This
should therefore, M. Flourens concludes, serve as
a:
' caution to those who apply chloroform, " since from an
_a
extra cerebral congestion to an intra-cerebral one,

ANOTHER NEW THEATRE.—A company is in pro-
gress of organisation for the purpose of establishing
another new theatre in the metropolis, the site being near
Chancery-lane, and the establishment being intended to
furnish facilities for obtaining amusement in the imme-
diate neighbourhood of Holborn, which will, it is considered,
ministi,r to the dramatic tastes of that populous district.
theatre is to be built of iron, in order to render it completely
fireproof, and the system ofl'ghting, ventilating, and warm-
ing the buiding will be entirely novel. On the stage new
mechanical contrivances will be resorted to for the purpose
of increasing the general effect as well as economising the
expenditure, and no charge for booking places, play bills,
or the safe keeping of coats, umbrellas, &c., of the visitors
will be mace. The directors propose to " remed3 existing
grievances, and provide in the tnost liberal manner for tho
comfort and entertainment of all who may frequent the new

SADLER'S WELLS.

This theatre was opened last night for a short legitimate
season with those excellent actors, Mr. Hermann Vezin
and Mrs. Charles Young (Mrs. H. Vezin), and a good stock
company. t-hakespeare's "As You Like It" was the chief
piece of the evening, The Rosalind of Mrs. C. Young is so
well known and highly appreciated, that on the present
occasion we need only say that it was marked by all those
exquisite beauties which have rendered her version of the
character so famous. Mr. Vezin appeared for the first tim.e
as melancholy philosophical Jacques, and although his
reading of the part was marked with the most refined taste,
he appeared to be rather overweighted in character, but not
to the extent to admit of fault finding. His delivery of the
well-known lines commencing "A tool, a fool !--I met a
fool the forest," and "All the world' sae,stag"
of elicited
immense applause. Although the engagement these
artistes is only for 12 nights, the success of last evening
will, without doubt, cause Mr. Dudley,
the manager, to
induce them to prolong their stay.

MRS. FANNY BEMBLE'S

After an absence from London for six years Mrs. Fanny
last night at the Egyptian-hall,
Kemble re-appeared
where she gave a reading of •?hakeepere's play of " As You

nounced to give at the same place. As all who are ac-
quainted with the writings of Shakespere know, " As You
Like It" contains nittuy telliug peesages, and the ch tz;teris
in it afford lull hottpe for the tff,euve dibpitty of the Lie+

ST. JAMES'S.

To the popular melodrama of "Lady Audley's Secret,"
which is having a great " run" at this theatre, the manager
has added for the holidays an additional attraction, in the
shape of a new burlesque, from the pen of Mr. W. Brough,
called " The Great Sensation Trial of Circumstantial Effie-
Deans." The object of the writer—so far as the writer of
an eastern extravaganza may be presumed to have any
object at all—seems to be to ridicule the rage of sensation
effects which has come upon the modern stage; and this he
has done in a very smart and vigorous manner. Poor Effie
Deans makes her debut in a mat woe-begone plight, and
complains that besides her private griefs she has for the
last month or two been traduced in half the theatres of
London. Indeed, she hints that the managers of the present
day, if they have not killed the drama, have at least
" Scotched it." On this occasion she is played by Mr.
Rogers, who, contrives to let it be seen that her life, like
that of the Highlander's terrier that was always fechting,
is "full o' seriousness," but he does it in a manner that
calls forth peals of the most unsympathetic laughter.
Perhaps to complete the leading features of :the " cast " it
will be sufficient to give the play-going section of the com-
munity a tolerable clear idea of what the piece is like.
Geordie Robinson is played with great spirit by Miss Marie
Wilton; Reuben Butler by Miss Patti Josephs; Margaret
Murdockson by Mrs. Frank Matthews; and Jenny Deans
by Miss Nisbett. The action perhaps flags a little, and to
repeat a trite but generally very apt morsel of criticism, a
little judicious recension would greatly improve the plot.
The text is crammed full of the most daring, not to say
sometimes inscrutable puns, of which the sub-title will
serve as a sample ; but many of them are very good. In-
deed, a somewhat larger per centage of Mr. Brough's ver-
bal quibii and oddities seem to meet with appreciation from
the public than Is always the case with this class of joke-
making. The scenery, by Mr. Fenton, is of considerable
excellence ; and on the whole the piece may be pronounced
a success. The author received last night the honour of a
call before the curtain.

MR. YATES'S INVITATIONS.

The alterations made in Mr. Edmund Yates's Entertain-
ment are decided improvements. The scene called
"Twenty Minutes with a Medium" is happily conceived
at the present time, when Mr. Home and his noisy apostles
are publishing their impudent gospeL Mr. Yates as the
Medium, and Mr. Power as the Visitor, have ample scope
for their dramatic talents, and they are doing the public a
service by drawing down ridicule on this new and preten-
tious phase of thimblerigging. The hall was full,notwith-
standing the many counter attractions, and the entertain-
ment has evidently entered upon a new lease of life.
London, England, 1863-04-07

EASTER ENTERTAINMENTS.

The holiday of Easter Monday was evidently ap-
preciated quite as much yesterday as in any previ-
vious year. The railways were thronged with ex-
cursionists throughout the day, extra trains being
everywhere put on to meet the extraordinary re-
quirements of the pleasure traffic. The popular
places of resort in the suburbs, such as Greenwich,
Hampstead, Hornsey, Richmond, and so on, were
crowded, and notwithstanding the immense number
of persons who must have deserted London in search
of country scenes and fresh air, a sufficient number
were left to fill the theatres and other places of
amusement in the metropolis. At nearly all of these
establishments special novelties were produced for
the holiday audiences, theatrical managers evidently
being determined that Easter shall not be forgotten
as a popular festival. We proceed to give a notice
in detail of the various dramatic ar.d other entertain-
ments on the programme of yesterday evening.

THE FRENCH BUDGET:

In an elaborate article on the French Budget,
and especially the expenditure which is increasing
from year to year, the Temps contrasts it with that
of England. Going so far back as the year 1830 it
finds much the same progression in both ; but on
balancing them the weight of expense is somewhat
heavier on the side of France. For the first ten
years—that is, from 1830 to 1840—the average ex-
penditure of every sort was in France 1,140 million
francs and only 1,125 millions in England. Be-
tween 1841 and 1851 the difference was still more
to the disadvantage of France—the average being
1,525 millions, whereas for England it was but
1,270.
From 1852 to 1861 England, as well as France,
made large sacrifices for the war in the Crimea and
the expeditions to China, and if the former in-
curred no expense for Italy, she had to put down
the Indian mutiny, which was extremely costly.
But during that period of 11 years the average
expenditure for England was only 1,634 millions,
while in France it was 1,954. It may be alleged
that the comparison is fallacious on account of the
different manner in whieh the two Budgets are
made out. In England, for instance, the expenses
of the towns, and certain special institutions, such
as the poor-rates, do not figure in the general ac-
count of the Treasury. On the other hand, the
fictitious items relative to the Sinking Fund should
be suppressed, and the proceeds of the town duties
(octrois) should be added in the French Budget.
The Temps allows the objection, and rectifies the
calculation, applying it proximately to the year
1862. Thus

NAPLES.

The subjoined is taken from a Naples letter of
the Ist :—" General de la Marmora has left on a
tour of inspection. The news respecting brigandage
is not unfavourable. Precautions having been taken
this year in time, great diaasters will be avoided.
The latest advices announce nothing but captures
and the voluntary submissions of brigands. Pilone
has decidedly taken refuge, as stated, in the Pon-
tificel States with the remnant of his band. Some

Italian soldiers who were pursuing them, were, it
is said, stopped at the frontier by the French troops,
the latter undertaking to arrest the famous robber
themselves, and give him up to the military autho-
rities of Terre de Labour. But instead of allowing
himself to be taken by the French, he surrendered
himself to five Papal gendarmes, who would not
give him up, alleging, that he was a political pri-
soner, and the surrender is said to have been refused
by the Roman Government on the same pretext.
Turning to incidents of another character, I feel
proud to say that there is at Naples one of the best
Italian poets, M. Dall'Ongaro, who is giving a course
of lectures on Dante, which are largely attended.
I have heard of a project which may perhaps be
executed. M. Dall'Ongaro not long since wrote a
Roman tragedy, which Mme. Ristori lately played
at St. Petersburg. The proposal is to give a perfor-
mance of it in the theatre at Pompeii. At a small
outlay those ruins could be restored to their former
appearance and to life."
The .Roma of Naples states that the ex-King of
the Two Sicilies has disposed of all his jewels to a
Florentine house for about 80,000 Roman scudi
(400,000 fr).

ST. JAMES'S.

To the popular melodrama of "Lady Audley's Secret,"
which is having a great " run" at this theatre, the manager
has added for the holidays an additional attraction, in the
shape of a new burlesque, from the pen of Mr. W. Brough,
called " The Great Sensation Trial of Circumstantial Effie-
Deans." The object of the writer—so far as the writer of
an eastern extravaganza may bo presumed to have any
object at all—seems to be to ridicule the rage of sensation
effects which has come upon the modern stage; and this he
has done in a very smart and vigorous manner. Poor Effie
Deans makes her debut in a mast woe-begone plight, and
complains that besides her private griefs she has for the
last month or two been traduced in half the theatres of
London. Indeed, she hints that the managers of the present
day, if they have not killed the drama, have at least
" Scotched it." On this occasion she is played by Mr.
Rogers, who, contrives to let it be seen that her life, like
that of the Highlander's terrier that was always fechting,
is " full o' seriousness," but he does it in a manner that
calls forth peals of the most unsympathetic laughter.
Perhaps to complete the leading features of :the " cast " it
will be sufficient to give the play-going section of the com-
munity a tolerable clear idea of what the piece is like.
Geordie Robinson is played with great spirit by Miss Marie
Wilton; Reuben Butler by Miss Patti Josephs; Margaret
Murdockson by Mrs. Frank Matthews; and Jenny Deans
by Miss Nisbett. The action perhaps flags a little, and to
repeat a trite but generally very apt morsel of criticism, a
little judicious recension would greatly improve the plot.
The text is crammed full of the most daring, not to say
sometimes inscrutable puns, of which the sub-title will
serve as a sample; but many of them are very good. In-
deed, a somewhat larger per tentage of Mr. Brough's ver-
bal qiibs and oddities seem to meet with appreciation from
the public than Is always the case with this class of joke-
making. The scenery, by Mr. Fenton, is of considerable
excellence ; and on the whole the piece may be pronounced
a success. The author received last night the honour of a
call before the curtain.

PRINCESS'S,

The Easter entertainments ;;Cthis theatre were the new
three-act drama, " Aurora Floyd ;" the first performance
of a comedietta by Mr. Maddison Morton, called " Killing
lime," and t" a new and original whimsical extravaganza
founded on the poem of ' Don Juan,' the ballad of
'Lord Bateman,' and the Legend of Lurline,' entitled
" Beautiful Haidee ; or, The Sea Nymphs and the Sallee
Rovers," written by Mr. H. J. Byron.
"Aurora Floyd" is running a successful course, which
it owes to the excellent manner in Which the principal
characters are acted, especially to Miss Amy Sedgwick's
impassioned and yet natural impersonation of the heroine,
and Mr. Belmore's very powerful, but somewhat melo-
dramatic picture of the villain Hargreaves. "filling Time"
can hardly be called even a comedietta: it is without plot
or incident, and is merely a dramatic scene—a "keen en-
counter" of wit between a lady and a gentleman, writ ten
with great spirit, and sustained with equal spirit by Miss
Amy Sedgwick and Mr. Goorge Vining, who has returned
to take a share in the management of this theatre. This
sketch was found very amusing, and was received with the
best kind of applause for such a thing—hearty laughter.
Mr. Byron's new extravaganza has good points, but
it is so very extravagant that it is unintelligible.
We cannot but think that, as there is method even in
madness, so an extravaganza or a burlesque should have
a certain degree of coherence or sequence in its incidents.
This was totally wanting in the present piece, which con-
sists of a string of scenes, in which the actors talk the most
unmitigated nonsense, couched in a sort of rhymed jingle,
crammed full of puns, to an excess we have never heard
equalled. There were torrents of puns—every line contained
one and sometimes more ; and their very profusion and the
extravagant badness of them, were certainly, for a time,
provocative of laughter, though the audience evidently grew
weary of so heavy a dose of bad jokes. But the defects of
the piece were in a considerable measure redeemed by its
remarkable splendour and beaus y as a spectacle. The scenery
was exquisite; one scene in particular, representing the
world beneath the sea, exhibiting the treasures of the deep,
its strange plants and fantastic inhabitants, was one of the
most delicious pictures we have ever seen on the stage. Tne
closing scene, too, called "the floral hall of the Carytides,"
though we had not the slightest idea apropos of why it was
introduced, was such a splendid display of light, form, and
colour, that it revived the decaying animation of the audi-
ence, and brought down the curtain with considerable oclat.
The costumes and decorations were rich and tasteful; the
stage was filled with brilliant and picturesque groups; there
were some elegant dances ; and the music, composed and
arranged by Mr. Hall, the leader of the orchestra, was not
only clever and pretty, but often very amusing, from the
quaintness with which many of the popular morceaux of
the opera stage were burlesqued and parodied,

SADLER'S WELLS.

This theatre was opened last night for a short legitimate
season with those excellent actors, Mr. Hermann Vezin
and Mrs. Charles Young (Mrs. 11. V ezin), and a good stock
company. Shakespeare's" As You Like It" was the chief
piece of the evening. The Rosalind of Mrs. C. Young is so
well known and highly appreciated, that on the present
occasion we need only say that it was marked by all those
exquisite beauties which have rendered her version of the
character eo famous. Mr. Vezin appeared for the first time
as melancholy philosophical Jacques, and although his
reading of the part was marked with the most refined taste,
he appeared to be rather overweighted in character, but not
to the extent to admit of fault finding. His delivery of the
well-known lines commencing " A fool, a fool I—l met a
fool P the foreA," and "All the world's a stage," elicited
immense applause. Although the engagement of these
artistes is only for 12 nights, the success of last evening
will, without doubt, cause Mr. Dudley, the manager, to
induce them to prolong their stay.

MRS. FANNY KEMBLE'S SHAKESPERIAN
READINGS.

After an absence from Londou for six years Mrs. Fanny
Kemble re-appeared last night at the Egyptian-hall,
where she gave a reading of Aakespere's play of " As You
Like It," the first of a series of readings which she is an-
nounced to give at the same place. As all who are ac-
quainted with the writings of Shakespere know, " As You
Like It" contains many telling passages, and thecharacters
in it afford full scape for tha effective display of the his-
trionic art,.and hence bosh veteran act Ors and tyros, when

NAPLES.

T►ie subjoined is taken from a Naples letter of
the Ist ;—" General de la Marmora has left on a
tour of inspection. The news respecting brigandage
is not unfavourable. Precautions having been taken
this year in time, great diaasters will be avoided.
The latest advices announce nothing but captures
and the voluntary submissions of brigands. Pilone
has decidedly taken refuge, as stated, in the Pon-
tifical States with the remnant of his band. Some

Italian soldiers who were pursuing them, were, it
Is said, stopped at the frontier by the French troops,
the latter undertaking to arrest the famous robber
themselves, and give him up to the military autho-
rities of Terre de Labour. But instead of allowing
himself to be taken by the French, he surrendered
himself to five Papal gendarmes, who would not
give him up, alleging that he was a political pri-
soner, and the surrender is said to have been refused
by the Roman Government on the same pretext.
Turning to incidents of another character, I feel
proud to say that there is at Naples one of the best
Italian poets, M. Dall'Ongaro, who is giving a course
of lectures on Dante, which are largely attended.

APPEAL.

The Committee of Management have to state that, since
he beginning of the year 1860, the Royal. National Lifeboat
Institution has expended £32,000 on various Lifeboat Estab-
ishments nn the Coasts of England. Scotland, and Ireland.

The number of lives saved by the Life-boats of the
Society, and other means, since its formation, is 12,800;
for which services 82 Gold Medals, 718 Silver Medals, and
£16,480 in cash have been paid in rewards. The Institu-
tion has also expended £67,`o° on Life-boats, Life-boat
Transporting.-cart lazes, and Boat-houses.

The'Committee desire to express their grateful sense of
the generous support
_which they have received from the
British public during the past few years, a support which
has enabled them to establish their present magnificent fleet
o' 123 Lifeboats on the shores of the United Kingdom.
Dreply sensib e, however, of the great responsibility that
res. s on them to maintain their fleet in a thoroughly efficient
state, and irs Crews practised in the management of their
boats, whi h can only be effected by a large and pe manent
annual income, they earnestly appeal to all classes of their
countrymen to aid them in upholding and perpetuating so
great and truly national a work.
The Committee gratefully acknowledge the following con-
