CAIRO, AUG. 24.—(From Mr. Wagborn.)—Since my
ast letter to you, dated Cairo, the 25th of July, the fol.
owing are among the most prominent heads of remark as
respects Egypt :
The Egyptian Government has just received an iron
steamer, built at Liverpool, which vessel has much grati-
fied them. She does the builders mud: credit, and is in-
tended for the Nile, to tow cotton boats, carry cargo, &c.
and this vessel has since left Alexandria for Candle, where
his Highness. Mohamed Ali still remains, though daily ex-
pected back.
One auction of 3,000 bales of cotton took place seven
days ago at Alexandria ; it fetched 101 dollars the cantar.
The buyers ire Greeks.
Colonel Vyse, one of the Oxford Blues, has been for the
last three months exploring at the Pyramids. His memory
will be long cherished by the inhabitants of five or six vil-
lages in the vicinity of those most wonderful buildings, the
most ancient of the known world. Tlia Colonel's success
has been great ; in fact much greater than either Belzoni's
or Caviglia's. Colonel Vyse spared neither money nor la-
bour in his researches, and I dare say his liberal spirit will
influ,-!e him to communicate those researches in full to the
Antiquarian Society of London. Colonel Vyse returns to
England, via Malta, for quarantine, by this month's packet,
from Alexandria.
There is no plague in Egypt beyond the Lazaretto of
Alexandria, neither is there cholera nor any contagious
disease whatever. My own opinion is that Egypt is fast
getting a most healthy country. We already have Indian
officers residing in it on account of their health ; and it is
further my opinion that in a few years it will become the
partial residence of all the English in India, both for plea-
sure and for health.
With respect to the Pasha's affairs in the Hedjas and
Yemen, they remain as before, except that a small force
of the Pasha's was cut to pieces, nearly to a man, about
three months ago. The war there is the only policy of
Mohamed Ali's that I condemn. It was originally begun
to put down the Wahabees, who had plundered the holy
cities of Mecca and Medina, and also murdered the pil-
grims who came from the north on their religious pil-
grimage. That sect having been wholly put down, except
a fen► of them now residing in the country of Imaum of
Muscat, there exists no longer any reason for the warfare
in Arabia, and the Pasha would act wisely in merely con-
fining his arms there to punish acts of aggression on the
towns bordering the east coast of the Red Sea.
The Imaum of Sanaa, in Arabia Felix, died about three
months ago ; he was not more than 27 years of age. He
has been quickly succeeded by Abd'allah Ebn Mulidee, a
cousin of his. The force of his Government is about 4,500
foot and 200 horse. It is the most flourishing district of
all Arabia. Sanaa is the district where the farfamed
Mocha Coffee grows, which merely acquires the name of
Mocha by being shipped for Europe from that place. Few
Englishmen (perhaps eight) are now living who have visited
Sanaa. I have- been informed that the valley of Sanaa,
which is formed between two ranges of mountains, is the
most beautiful spot on the earth when seen ut the fruitful
time of the year.
It is with pleasure that I here record the labours of the
Missionaries in Cairo, supported by the Church Missionary
Society of London. They have, in all, three schools : one
under the Rev. Mr. Krusse contains ten boys, who are in-
tended for schoolmasters ; a second-class school also con-
tains eighty. Those who have lost their parents are fed,
clothed, and housed as well as educated. The third school
contains about eighty girls : these two last under the Rev,
Mr. Leider. Thus, even in Egypt, the light of English
education exists.
Respecting the mails from England of this month, they
go off direct to Bombay, in charge of an English messen-
ger all the way from this city, and, of course, obtain thereby
a speedy passage.
CEREMONY OF LETTING THE WATERS OF THE NILE INTO

' LOWER EGYPT.
At four p.m. of the 19th of August—the Nile having
risen to the proper height for cutting the canal through
which, by intersection of other canals from that, the
waters of the Nile ai-e conveyed through the whole eastern
side of that river into Lower Egypt—a large boat, which
had been prepared by baring scaffolding erected, dressed
with flags, awnings, and carpets for the occasion, and
crowded with people, was seen slowly ascending the
stream of the Nile, with the assistance of the wind, that
being tier ; and presently another large dressed out boat
steered off to the former ; both were lashed together, and
then these were preceded by another boat having a -gun
on her bow, which continued firing without intermission
during their ascent up the river. These three were joined
and accompanied by various other boats chiefly belong-
ing to the nobility and gentry of Egypt. Both sides of the
Nile were crowded with lookers on. The Garden of
Rhoda, which lies contiguous to the spot where the waters
are was also densely crowded. On the arrival of the
ve6F..els at this spot they were received with a salute of ar-
tillery, stationed there for that purpose. Through the
whole Diglit boats were. constantly passing up and down,
the most of them with Arabic music on board ; in fact, for
this one night in the year the Nile may be said to resemble
Venice in its suatmer nights of serenading. At frequent
intervals rockets, artillery, blue lights, and fireworks of
various descriptions were fired throughout the night.
Close to tile spot where the cut was to be made, stand
the buildings which contain the machinery by which the
waters of tl:e Nile are conveyed to the citadel of Cairo.
These buildings seemed, when the fireworks were not
playing, like a huge fortification ; for as the fireworks
played, and occasionally lightened the atmosphere over it,
hundreds of people were seen on its summits. As the
morning dawaed the boats with the harems began to ap-
pear, with various suites Irons diffe:-ent points. First came
the ex-sheriff of Mecco, with his splerlid and pampered
Arab horses, of the true Negbed breed, probably the finest
in the vs orld ; then came the dervishes from Turkey;
these wore their handkerchiefs and badges on this occa-
sion. The consuls of European nations, as well as the
subjects of those nations, all repaired to the spot. Next
t ame the military, civil, and other of of the Egyp-
tian government; and last, not leas;, at eight o'clock,
e.une Habib Effendi, tha venerable and respeete.l governor
of Cairo, to attend the opening of the waters. His baked
began to throw copper money in bandsfull for the poor
into the canal. At sunrise the labourers stationed to cut
the soil were at their work, and at a quarter past eight
dn a
disappeared. quarter
the waters rushed in, and in ten minutes after a boat
passed through, and floated for two miles inland. Habib
Effendi then presented the Cadi of Cairo with a caftan or
robe of honour, and his agent also gave other robes to the
officers of the Cadi. The tents and two most beautiful

THE NEW 'NOVEL, " UNCLE HORACE."—This
nevel is from the prolific and talented pen of Mrs. S. C. Hall,
and adds greatly to the fame which this lady has already
acquired. The story is full of interesting adventure and
admirable delineations of character, in which the foibles, the
vices, and the virtues of human nature are
powerfully por-
trayed. The title is derived from the name of the uncle of
he heroine, who exhibits all the sterling qualities of a British
merchant, and forms a angular contrast to his brother, who,
in pursuit of the empty vanities of life, is reduced to poverty,
and dies, leaving his daughter to the protection of her uncle,
and, after a variety of vicissitudes and trials, she reaps the
reward of her moral worth in an union vrith•the object of
her affections and the possession of her uncle's fortune.
ah
incidents are highly wrought and come i
tnrairnsakpaeinddd succession,

rivctting the attention of the reader by the powerful
patilies which they excite. Mrs. Hall,

productions, fully entitles herself to
most popular of our female writers. •

There is a Spanish proverb which says 14. The devil
;empty all men but the idle man, and the idle man tempts

LONDON.
WEDNESDAY EVENING. SEPTEMBER 20, 1837.

At the North Derbyshire Reform Dinner, some par-
ticulars of which will be found in another part of The
Sun, Mr. GISBORNE, who was prescitt, though we re-
gret to say it, in very delicate health, made some re-
marks, which all who call themselves Reformers should
read with the deepest attention. " When I first be-
came acquainted with the Liberals of North Derby-
shire," said the Hon. Gentleman, "they never had any
power as a body, and had never been called upon to
act together. They were isolated individuals, one per-
son scarcely knowing of his neighbour's existence as a
Reformer. The Reform interest was not only dis-
united but divided ; and with respect to that I will
only say that the conduct I pursued subjected me to
some misrepresentation, but it was subsequently borne
out by events. I brought the Reformers together, and
could mention individuals in this room who were not
known as politicians ; but with some exertion and per-
severance, and with kind forbearance and assistance,
we have been brought to act in unison. We have been
hound in a party who have lately shown our strength
and our power, and I think I may be proud in saying
that I have been a focus around which that party has
converged." And the consequence of these patriotic
exertions has been—the emancipation of the Division
from the thraldom of Toryism Why have not other Re-
formers acted in a similar spirit ? Why have they not
gone practically to woils, like Mr. GISBORNE, instead
of standing-cold]: aloof from all who did not adopt their
own c:otelietty theories ? Had we, during the last
elections, had ten GISBORNES in the field, we should
have saved ten counties, which are now lost to us,
not so much by reason of Tory intrigue, as our own
supineness. We have—there is no denying it—thrown
away opportunities which may not occur again per-
haps for years. If North Derbyshire was saved by
union and encrgy, why might not other counties have
been saved by the same ra.eans ? The Tories were
not less energetic there than elsewhere; why then were
they defeated ? Because we fought them with their
own weapons ; counteracted their zeal by our zeal ;
opposed perseveraoen to perseverance ; and met their
combination by our still greater combination. We did
nothing in North Derbyshire, that we could not have done
with equal success in other counties. But it is idle now
to lament this supineness ; and our only reason for al-
lodine" to it at all, is in order that it may prompt us to
greater efforts for the future. Union is what we have
always most wanted---what we still most want. We
are too apt to allow petty differences of opinion, to
keep us apart from each other—in a ';,,ord, we
are not gregarious enouol, but strs,ggie into the
battle-field in small sections widc asunder ; while the
o:'emy is drawn up in a combined, powerful phalanx
right before us.
Is there never to be an end of this suicidal dis.
other n ? Is out: Reformer still to fight shy of an.
,e
for
only Triennial ones ? Shame on such political
Pedantry I If we desire to succeed, we must frater.
blses and each surrender something of individual opinion
for the general good, NAPOLEONI it has been justly
said, taught his enemies how to conquer him. Let the
Tories teach us how to conquer them. Let us imitate
their practical, businesslike habits, their energy, their
Met in combining and disciplining their forces, and we
0411 1100t1 make them lower their tone, for we are
backed by a good came, and the intelligent majority
Dl' three kingdoms. And why are we so urgent on
this point just now, when the elections are all at an

end P Because we feel that a great 4truggle is
about to take place on the Ballot, and are cou-

sequently solicitous to unite as many Reformers

ati possible on the question. We would have
them meet and discuss the subject at every suitable
opportunity ; exert to the utmost whatever influence
they possess; and not permit small differences of son.
