consists of cotton, coffee, sugar, rice, tobacco, gums, oils,
ivory, semis, beeswax, ostrich leathers, gold dust,- silk, in-
dicro &c.

sisting the operations of this Company, to complete, st his
own expense, telegraphic communication between Alexandria
and all the principal stations which have been selected for
the operations of the Company, extending to Khartoum, the
farthest town of importance in the interior of Africa within
