EGYPT.

ALEXANDRIA, AUG. 5.
The Peninsular and Oriental Company's screw
steamer Madras arrived at Suez on the 2d instant,
with the mails from Sydney, May 31 ; China, June
23 ; Calcutta, July 2 ; and 50 passengers, 20 of
whom are from Australia, and both mails and pas-
sengers proceed to Southampton this day by the
steamer Indus. _ _ _

Things are proceeding' quietly here, though all
are in anxious expectation of the result of the pend-
ing question between Turkey and Russia, as, if a
general war does break out, Egypt will undoubtedly.
be taken possession of by one or other of the Euro-
pean powers.
Said Pasha, the heir apparent to the Pashalic,
has effected a reconciliation with his nephew the
Viceroy, and it is to be hoped that it will prove
lasting, both for their own individual sakes and for
the benefit of the country. The quarrels that have
existed among the members of the family of Mehe-
met Ali, ever since his death, have only served to
weaken their position in the country, and might
give a pretext to the Sultan to remove them from
their present position, should he feel inclined to
do so.
The river Nile is rising very rapidly, and, to the
satisfaction of all, is covering the whole of the
valley of Egypt with its fertilising water and allu-
vial deposit. Meanwhile the winds are blowing
strongly from the north, so as to prevent the water
from flowing too rapidly into the sea, and, all the
canals being filled, the means of communication
throughout the land are perfectly free and easy.
A supply of men has been provided to enable the
railway engineers to go on with their work, but a
great check has been given to its onward progress
by the removal of the sailors who were originally
employed on the line, the period of the completion
of which now lies in great uncertainty.
A few days ago, the Spanish Consul-General
here, his son, and his servants, having interfered
in a case between a native mason and some of the
local police, the latter, not knowing who they were,
ill treated them. On this, the Consul-General re-
paired to the Governor of the town for satisfaction,
and he, being of a rather hasty temper, forthwith.
ordered the policemen to be bastinadodto such an
extent that one of them is not expected to sur-
vive it.

The new crops of wheat and beans are beginning
to arrive, but prices are still kept up enormously
high, even ss. to 6s. per quarter higher than in
England, in consequence of the chances of war.
Shipping is still in much demand, and 10s. to
10s. 3d. per quarter are offered for vessels to ar-
rive. Exchange on London, 98i piastres per
pound sterling.

The successful results of the last Half Century have proved beyon

question that
ROWLAND'S MACASSAR OIL possesses sin-
vlarly nourishing powers in the growth, restoration, and
improvement of the Human Hair, and when every other specific has
failed.
This celebrated 011 is now universally act,nowledged to be the
cheapest, and superior to all other preparations for the Hair. It
prevents it from falling off or turning grey—strengthens weak hair
—produces a thick and luxuriant growth— cleanses it from Scurf
and Dandriff—and makes it beautifully soft, curly, and glossy. Its
operation in cases of baldness is peculiarly active ; and in the growth
of Wnrintsas, EYEBROWS, and litusTactuos, it is unfailing in its
stimulative operation. For Children it is especially recommended,
as forming the basis of a beautiful head of hair, and rendering the use
of the fine-c mb unnecessary. In dressing the hair nothing can
equal its effect, rendering the Hair so admirably soft t at it will lie in
any direction, and imparting a transcendant lustre.—Price he. 6d.

TRAFFIC RETURNS FOR THE PAST WEEK.
London, England, 1853-02-24

SOUTHAMPTON.

The committee appointed to inquire into this petition
against the return of Sir A. Cockburn, the present At-
torney-General and Mr. Wilcox, for the borough of
Southampton, met this day at twelve o'clock—Mr. H.
Herbert, chairman.
The counsel for the petitioners were, Mr. Alexander,
Q.C., and Mr. Sewell ; and the sitting member was re-
presented by Mr. Sergeant Kinglake, and Mr. James,
Q.C.
The petition set forth that, at the last election, the
sitting members had been guilty of bribery and treating.
Sir A. COCKBURN stated to the committee that the
present case was entirely unprecedented, inasmuch, as
the petition was against the return at the general elec-
tion, and that since then, upon acceptance of office, he
had resigned that seat. At the last election a notice
had been sent to the electors that he was disqualified for
sitting for the borough. As to himself, hieseat in Par-
liament was of little importance. In the event of the
petition being established, it would not at all affect his
seat, inasmuch as he sat now upon a new writ ; and
from this cause the case was a very anomalous one. As
a public man, however, he desired to show that the alle-
gations in the petition were false. The course he would
pursue would be to appear before the committee under
protest.
Mr. ALEXANDER, Q.C., said that the petition was against
both the sitting members, although it was perfectly true
that the Attorney-General would not on this petition
lose his seat.
Mr. ALEXANDER then made an application for an ad-
journment on account of the absence of Mr. Meehan,
a most important witness, who would be able to attend
on the 6th of March.

Mr. Sergeant KINGLAKE would by no means oppose
such an adjournment.
After deliberating, the committee adjourned till the
6th of March.

PORTSMOUTH, FEB. 23.
Vice-Admiral Sir Thomas Cochrane, the Commander-in-
Chief, visited this port to-day to inspect the progress made
in the equipment of the Admiralty-house for the reception
of himself and Lady Cochrane. The gallant officer returned
to town by the 2 o'clock train in the afternoon.
The Black Eagle Admiralty steam-yacht, Master-Com-
mander Petley, left the harbour last evening with a pasty
of officers forming a board of inspection on the coast de-,
fences. They proceeded to the Channel Islands.
The Blenheim screw guard-ship, 60, Captain Henderson,
C. 8., returned to harbour this afternoon.
The Leopard, 12, paddle-frigate, Captain George Gifford,
went out of harbour to Spithead this morning.
The Rattlesnake, 8, Commander Trollope, was towed out
of harbour this morning to Spithead by the Echo steam-
tug, which then cast her off, when the Basilisk, 8, paddle-
sloop, Commander the Hon. F. Egerton, took her in tow
and proceeded with her to sea.

PLYMOUTH, TuESDAY.
Her Majesty's steam-ships Magicienne and Vulture sailed
on Sunday morning for the chops of the Channel, with
provisions to relieve the homeward-bound ships. The
Magicienne returned again this morning. Wind westerly.
The crew of the steam-sloop Argus were paid wages on

William Victualling-yard, Stonehouse, to Prince-town,
Dartmoor, for the use of the prisoners and those who have
charge of them.
Thirty bullocks per week for three months are to be
slaughtered in the Royal William Victualling-yard, and
salted in that establishment, for the service of Her Majesty's
Royal navy. Hitherto it has been the practice of the Ad-
miralty to purchase salt beef by contract.
Yesterday afternoon, at half-past 6 o'clock, between the
lights—wind N.W., Eddystone bearing S.SW., five miles
distant—the emigrant ship Bolton, Captain Darby,
from Plymouth to Sydney, ran into the forerigging of the
polacca Thomas and Nancy, which sank within 20 minutes
of the collision. The ship was on the starboard tack, reach-
ing off; the polacca on the larboard tack, standing in.
Both vessels left Plymouth yesterday afternoon, the po-
lacca in ballast bound to Newport. Her crew got on board
the ship, and were brought in here by a fishing smack.
They will be sent to their home, Bideford, by the agent
for the Shipwrecked Mariners' Society.

SEWERS

•
During the year sewers had been constructed in 22 dif-
ferent places, their aggregate length amounting to 4,459
feet, or abont five-sixths of a mile. Most of them have
been built in courts and poor localities, previously without
sewers ; others in extension of sewers existing, in portions
of the length of various streets, and the remainder intended
for surface drainage only. The total length of sewers 'now
existing within the City is about 49A miles. The total
length of sewers within the City by the gradual abandon-
ment of the ancient sewers will, in future years, probably-
be nearly stationary at about 49 miles, and may be ex-
pected to diminish, rather than to increase, in their aggre-
gate length.

I feel it to be my most imperative duty to draw your
attention to the systematic usage of gulleys as the common
receptacle of rubbish of every description, and regret to
state that there has been no abatement of the practice,
which, being unchecked, has, I imagine, induced the be-
lief amongst many of the poorer classes that a galley is a
perfectly legitimate dustshoot. The surveyor proceeds to
state that this evil can only be effectually overcome by the
agency of the police, whose co-operation he begs the Court
to procure as speedily as possible.

OUR SAVAGE CUSTOMS.

(Front Punch.)
To ensure peace with our French neighbours, we should
not only mend our manners, but reform our customs.
How absurd, as well as impolitic, is it of us to interpose
a duty which is nearly prohibitive between their clarets
and our ports !
To be linked with any foreign nation in the bonds of
amity, we must hook the padlock of peace to the staple of
production.
Our harbours would be in small danger of French round
shot, if we allowed them to throw in their grape.
England is right in requiring Englishmen to do their
duty in time of war ; but it is quite another policy to make
Frenchmen pay it in time of peace.
If it were generally known how good Chablis is with
oysters, the force of the above considerations would be so
apparent, that the Peace Society would transfer their pre-
sent exertions to the abatement of the duty on light wines;
and that the motion to that end, about to be proposed in
the House of Commons, would be carried by acclamation.

AUSTRALIAN MAILS.

Mr. K. SEYMER asked the First of the Ad-
miralty whether it is the intention of her Majesty's Go-
vernment;to take any steps,with a view to enforce.,the due
and more punctual performance of the existing contract
for the conveyance of mails to Australia, via Cape of
Good Hope.
Sir J. GRAHAM said that the contract for the car-
riage of the Australian mails hid not been carried out
with sufficient strictness, but it was the intention of the
Government to enforce punctuality for the future.
CHICORY.

Mr. HUME wished to ask the right hon. gentleman ,
the Chancellor of the Exchequer, what were the inten-
tions of the Government with regard to the subject of
/
the Treasury minute on chicory.
The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said,
when he came into office the three months' had just ex-
pired which the trade had been allowed to get rid of
their stock on hand before the minute came into opera-
tion. The trade was at the time in communication
with the Treasury on the subject, and when he became
ppssessed of the seals of office, he took up the investiga-
tion where it had been left off. He found that nothing
had been done to put the Minute in force, and upon a
reconsideration of the whole circumstances of the case,
he consented so far to modify the Minute as to allow
the trade to sell the article of chicory mixed
with coffee, the 'article itself being distinctly
labelled with a statement that it was a mixture, while
in all other instances of the sale of coffee the terms of
the minute were to be strictly observed.
Mr. HASTIE asked if the labels were to state the pro-
portion of chicory and coffee.

ACCIDENT ON THE GREAT WESTERN

RAILWAY (THIS DAY.)

SUN OFFICE, 3 P.M.

An accident occurred to the up-express train
from Bristol, near Ealing; caused by an axle being
broken, by which Mr. Gibbs, one of the directors,
was killed, and another, Dr. Prichard Smith,
had a rib broken.

Mr. A. Duff, a passenger, had his finger broken,
and two other passengers slightly hurt.

Two other directors were in the same carriage
as Mr. Gibbs and Dr. Smith, but escaped without
injury, as did all other passengers in the train.

THE LATEST ARRIVAL FROM THE DIGGINGS.

The Three Bells arrived in the Downs yesterday from
Port Philip, whence she sailed on the 28th October with
77;803 ounces of gold, worth fully 310,0001. Other ves-
sels, bringing large quantities of the precious metal,
must also be close at hand. Several weeks back we pub-

lished a statement of the total quantity of gold actually
known to be on its way home from Australia, which we
now repeat, viz. :

Date of Gold on

Where from.
sailing. board. Oz.
Chowringhee Melbourne Oct. 23
Three Bells Ditto
Oriental Sydney
Alert Ditto
Bloomer Ditto
Roxburgh Castle._ .Port Philip Nov. 15

Total ounces 370,467
The value of this at 41. per ounce is 1,481,868/. Of
these vessels the Bloomer and Three Bells have arrived ;
the Chowringhee put into Pernambuco, and sailed
thence on her homeward voyage on the 21st January ;
and it may be fairly assumed that the whole of the out-
standing vessels will come in almost immediately. Con-
siderable interest is now expressed to learn the amount
of gold now afloat and on its way to England, but as the
above sums include the entire shipments as yet ad-
vised, it is clear that any further shipments must form
the subject of mere conjecture. Between the present
date and the end of the first week in March, it is con•
fiently expected that the Sydney steamer will be in, and
that she will be quickly followed by the Great Britain ;
but it must not be forgotten that all vessels, whether
sailing craft or steamers, have to encounter the most
serious difficulties in getting away, and that consequently
the period of their arrival is involved in uncertainty.
Some people estimate that the Sydney and Great Bri-
tain steamers must now be on their way home with fully
three million sterling in the precious metal, and pro-
ceeding to enumerate the sums known, and others pre-
sumed to be shipped up to this date, they arrive at the
conclusion that them cannot be less than from five to six
millions sterling worth of gold actually en route.

STATE OF TRADE.

(From the Manchester Guardian of yesterday.)
MANCHESTER, TUESDAY.—We have had a continu-
ance to-day of that indisposition to operate, on the part
of buyers, which characterised our market last week, in-
creased in some degree, no doubt, by the non-arrival of
the New York steamer, whose intelligence seems to have
become necessary to the imparting of any decided cha-
racter to a Tuesday's business. The feeling of uncer-
tainty about prices has therefore been more marked
thaw before, and the sales of the day unusually limited.
As compared with this day week, we should say that, in
yarns,, there is an advantage on the side of buyers of
fully id. per lb. on the average of counts from 50's
downwards. Pincops and warps are more affected than
bundles. Good qualities of finer numbers continue quite
firm. In the department of cloth there is a somewhat
more favourable tendency. This is more perceptible in
India fabrics than any others. Shirtings have now re-
ceded 3d. per, piece from the late highest rates—other,
descriptions lid. Domestics are more difficult of sale ;
and printing .cloths are. less keenly sought for—the
wider ones not so firm as they lately were. The Liver-
pool cotton market is quoted id. per lb. below the rates
of Friday week.
ROCHDALE, MONDAY.—We have had little change in
the flannel market to-day ; prices have been steady, and
the demand has been tolerably good. The wool market
has been much the same as that of the previous Mon-
day.

HALIFAX, SATURDAY.—In our piece hall to-day
there has been a very slender attendance of buyers,
and scarcely any goods, either plain or fancy,, have
been disposed of. The yarn market is firm, but not
active. The manufacturers purchase somewhat readily,
but' the export houses are very shy of giving out
orders. - Wools - are very stiff. Lincolnshire wethers,
which are greatly in request, have realised higher prices,-
but for other sorts there is no,change in the quotations.
lIUDDERSFIELD, TUESDAY.--Our market has been
quite as brisk last week, and low goods of any kind go
off well. Ilanufacturel7s continue well employed •to
orrter. We have had a pod many foreign buyers is
town to-day for Continental-orders.

•
FORFARSITIRE ELEcTicfN.---The day of election for a
member to"serve in Parli.vment for the county of, Forfar

NEWPORT, ABERGAVENNY, AND HERE-
FORD.

The half-yearly meeting of this company was held yes-
terday, at the London Tavern, Bishopsgate-street—the
Hon. W. E. Fitzmaurice in the chair.

The SECRETARY read the report, which stated that
" the directors expect to be able to open the line for
traffic, as originally stated, in September next. They
are actively acquiring the land on the Taff Vale Exten-
sion. A contract has been let for the erection of the
Crumlin viaduct, and a contract will shortly be let for
the remainder of the works at Crumlin. Short bills for
these deviations have been introduced to Parliament.
The Newport Abergavenny, and Hereford Company,
and the London and North-Western Company, have
presented a bill to Parliament for powers to amalgamate
these companies on the basis of the agreement of 1851.
Other bills are also before Parliament for the extension
of the line to Swansea in the south, and to. Brecon on
the west. A special meeting of the shareholders will be
convened to consider these matters, when arrangements
for raising the capital,will be laid before them. The di-
rectors propose, on an early day, to make a further call
of 1/. 10s. per hare."

The accounts showed that the total receipts were
289,1571. 2s. 7d., and the payments 277,6031. 14s. 2d.
—leaving a balance of 11,5531. Bs. sd. •
The CHAIRMAN hoped they would soon see a success-
ful termination to their bills in Parliament, and find
themselves amalgamated Lwith the London and North-
Western Company. It had been always his desire to
cultivate a friendly alliance with the Shrewsbury and
Hereford directors, although it had been stated to the con-
trary, and he regretted that several years ago the
chair-
man of that company had sought out alliances prejudi-
cial to the Newport Company. The chairman moved
the adoption of the report.
Dr. EVANS seconded the motion. He was satisfied to
find that the line would be finished in five or six months,
that it would be done within the estimate, and that the
present would be the last call. (Hear, hear.)
Mr. OXENDEN objected to the Swansea branch, but
withdrew his amendment to that effect.

The retiring directors were re-elected, and the re-ap-
pointment of Mr. Ross, as auditor, was also agreed to.
The report was then adopted unanimously ; and the
meeting, after voting thanks to the chairman, ad-
journed.
