EGYPT.

A communication from Alexandria of the 10th
February says :—" The Viceroy is at Cairo at pre-
sent. An agreement has been concluded between
his Highness end the Suez Canal Company, by
which he has agreed to furnished thirty thousand
men for the works of the canal, on condition that
the company feed the men and give the Government
forty francs a month for each man. The Pasha is
to pay the men as soldiers, in which capacity,
nominally, they are in fact being taken from the
villages. It is said that 10,000 men have already
been thus furnished. The labour thus bought
and sold is nothing more nor less than that of
slavery for the time being. The Canal Company
have also hired, with the assistance of the Govern-
ment, twelve Kazis, or Arab judges, at a salary of
500 piastres a month each, to reside at the Canal
works on the Isthmus, and administer justice, or
injustice, as it may be worth their while, amongst
the Egyptian workmen. The Company has also
established on the Isthmus schools for the Euro-
pean and Arabic youth—it is to be presumed of
both sexes, since some Seems de Bons Pasteurs
have been engaged in connection with the schools.
The Company is also said to be extending its
operations on the side of the Valley of the Nile,
where it is reported to have made a new acquisi-
tion of 5,000 acres of land, in addition to the nearly
19,000 acres already purchased in the summer from
the Viceroy, who had, a little before, bought it
from the estate of the late 11-Hami Pasha."

POLICE INLALLIGEN U.E.—( This hay.)

MARLBOROUGH-STREET.

UNPRovoicED ASSAULT ON a FEMALE.—COMMITTAL
WITHOUT A FINE.—John Galloway, a tall, well-dressed
man, was charged before Mr. Yardley, with unprovokedly
assaulting a female named Chandler.
The complainant said she was walking near Albemarle-
street the previous evening, when the prisoner came up and
deliberately kicked her twice on the knee without saying a
word. She followed him with the intention of giving him
into custody, and he went into apublichouse and then came
out, and saying, " You are here, are you," struck her a
severe blow in the face. _ _

The prisoner's only excuse for his conduct was that he
had lost a sovereign.
Mr. Yardley—Po you mean to say that because you lost
a sovereign you kicked an unoffending woman who gave
you no provocation.
The prisoner sad it was not exactly for that, but he had
been drinking.
Police-constable, 186 C, proved seeing the prisoner de-
liberately strike the complainant, and that he had .been
drinking.
Mr. Yaidley committed the prisoner for a month with
hard labour.

Eheu, and Venison.

Betting-6 to 4 agst Playman, 4to 1 agst Luff, sto 1
agst Marmion, and 7 to 1 agst Sunbeam.
The refusing commenced at the first fence, and four only
of the seven came to the brook, at which Luff fell, but was
quickly remounted, and passed the stand about 80 yards
behind the other three. Venison then was first, Playman
second, and Sunbeam third ; at the next fence (the double)
Playman and Venison fell, the former being remounted
without losing much ground. Sunbeam then went on with
a strong lead, and had none but Playman near her into the
ploughed field opposite the stand, where Luff refused, and
was out of the race, Venison going on about 500 yards
behind. At the turn towards home, Sunbeam went wrong,
and was turned round. Playman passed the stand alone ;
after an interval came Sunbeam, and half a mile after her
Venison, who persevered to the hill and then was stopped.
Playman cantered in first by nearly 300 yards, and Sun-
beam was the only other that passed the post.

Betting-7 to 4 agst Broadbrim, 2to 1 agst Ascot, and
7 to 2 agst Catherine.
Brnadbrim made the whole of the running, Ascot and
Catherine lying alternately in second place, until they
entered the winning field, when L scot got in front and de-
feated Catherine, who passed Broadbrim at the distance
very cleverly by a length. Broadbrim was four lengths
from the second, and Old Post took no part in the race after
crossing the first three fields.

The Berkshire Hunt Stakes of 3 sovs each, with 20 added,
for horses the property of and ridden by gentlemen, far-

Fawn).
Betting-4 to 1 agst Undecided, sto 1 agst Flat, 6to 1
agst Grey Polly, and 7 to 1 each agst Cannon Ball and
Duchess. The moment the flAg fell the lot began to spread,
and before reaching the brook were running in all direc-
tions. Grey Kitty and The Flat alone came straight.
Grey Polly then got over, and was followed by Duchess
Aniseed, and, after a wide interval, Undecided, Cannon
Ball and Mr. Kent's mare having falllen together at the,
first fence. At the double beyond the stand Aniseed fell,
and Polly immediately afterwards took up the running
and carried it on at a moderate pace to the ploughed land
at the fence into which Duchess and Undecided fell. On
reaching the brook a second time Polly, The Flat, Grey
Kitty, Forester, and Aniseed cleared it, and passed the
stand in the order named. Aniseed fell at the double, and
the rest went on as before. On entering the starting-field
Grey Polly had a lead of several lengths, but was evidently
going her best, and fell heavily at the brook, Enoch, her
rider, on endeavouring to rise, being knocked down by Mr.
Kent's mare, who was loose. The Flat and Forester then
passed the winning chair by themselves, the former win-
ning by six lengths and Grey Kitty about 100 yards from
their, coming in third. The wiener was sold to Captain
Horton Rhys for 82 guineas.

A Selling Handicap Steeplechase of 5 sovs each, lft, with
25 added ; the winner to be sold for 50 soya. mile.

Knuston made running at a good pace, followed by Ca-
therine and Goldsmith, Brine being last to the fence into
the ploughed land, where she fell. Knuston continued his
lead to the top turn, where he refused, and went wrong.
Catherine and Goldsmith then raced together to the straight,
when the mare came away, and won easily by 20 lengths.
No advance upon the selling price was offered for the
winner.
