A DISTINGUISHED FOREIGNER.

El Hhami Pacha, who has just arrived in England,
:s the only son of Abbas Pacha, the late Viceroy of
Egypt. He is about 17 years of age, and has been edu-
cated at Grand Cairo, under the care of Europeans, at
a great expense.
When the settlement took place between the Sultan
and the Egyptian Viceroy, in which the European
powers participated, it was stipulated that the Viceroy-
alty should be inherited by the eldest living descendant
of Mehemet Ali, in order to avoid the trouble of the
government of a minor. Thus Ibrahim Pacha, who suc-
ceeded Mehemet Ali, left sons, but as Abbas Pasha, the
late Viceroy, and who was a grandson of Mehemet Ali,
was older than those children, he became Viceroy, and
the sons lost their rank immediately after their father's
death. Said Pacha, the present Viceroy, and 'lbrahim
Paella's sons are all older than El Hhami Pacha, the
youth above-mentioned, and of course entitled to the
throne before him.
El Hhami Pacha, however, being the only son of
Abbas Pacha, was of course, while his father lived, the
next most distinguished person in the kingdom, and as
Abbas Pacha was, just previous to his death, in the prime
of life, there was every probability of his son filling that
position for a long series of years. He was made Mini-
ster of War in Egypt, and was betrothed to the Sultan
f Turkeys daughter, a child six years of age • and ac-
cording to the custom of the East, and the rank of such
a powerful vassal as his father was of the Sultan's, El
Hhami Pacha visited his intended father-in-law in great
state, withloo,oool.timeiy present.sterling AlterinEngl isle
sovereigns,his
betrothal he obtained permission from the Viceroy and
doubtless
present
a of
most
Sultan to make the grand tour of Europe, and he corn.
nienced that tour under the brightest auspices, and a
style of great magnificence, perhaps that was ever known.
His father had made him immensely rich, and gave him
the famous steam-yacht, the Feih Djehad, to travel in.
This yacht was built by Mare, of London, a few years
ago, for Abbas Pacha, under the superintendence of the
Peninsular and Oriental Company, at an expense of
110,0001. It is of iron, and fitted up most gorgeously
for an eastern climate. Thousands of persons visited
it before it left this country. It was built on the model
of H.M.S. Canopus, and had similar engines to H.M.S.
Terrible. It is one of the largest steamers in the world,
being nearly 3,000 tons burden. Its engines are 800-
horse power. The Feih Djehad has the largest paddle-
wheels of any ships in existence, and each' of them
weighs 70 tone. She is remarkably fast.
El Hharni Pacha left Alexandria on the 13th inst.,
after taking leave of his father, who was then in good
health, in this splendid yacht, and purposed touching at
Malta, Gibraltar, and landing in England at Southanip
ton. He then intended visiting most of the capitals of
Europe, during which time his yacht was to be docked
iu England, as there was no dock In the Mediterranean
large enough for her gigantic dimensions, and then she
was to proceed homeward and be prepared to reserve
Prince El Mimi Pacha at Genoa. The prince had up-
wards of 30 persons forming his suite, some of them
dietinguished Egyptians, and a retinue of Nubian, Abys-
sinian, and Circassian slaves. The whole of the persons
on board were nearly 400. Amengst these were 31
pupils and two masters from the Egyptian naval school.
The Feih Djehad had two commanders- -one Egyptian
and the other English. The latter was Captain Mac-
kenzie, belonging to the Peninsular and Oriental C..m-
pany, a very gentlemanly and accomplished officer. Out
of the whole number on board there were only sever
Europeans. Even some of the engineers were Arabs,
who perfectly understood the management of steam en-
gines, having been engineers to steamers plying on the
Nile. Some of the Egyptian officers were first-rate
navigators.
The chief persons of the prince's suite were Suliman
Pacha, Commander-in-Chief of the Egyptian army ;
Kletiredden Pacha, Minister of Commerce in Egypt ;
Abdullah Pacha. Director-General of Egyptian Transit
and Railway ' • Ali Bey and Murad Effendi Bey, aides-
de-camp ; and Dr. Lautier, the Prince's Physician.
Suliman Pacha, is the well known French officer, Colonel
Say, who has spent a life-time in the Egyptian service.
It is to him that Mehemet Ali and Ibrahim Paella were
indebted for the superior organisation and successes of
the
,Egyptian army. He is a hale and fine old man,
ebove SO years. He was on board the Bucentaur at the
tune Neliem received his death weued.frorrLthat ship at
the battle of Trattiilar:'"lrs-Telight at visiting Europe
to the Fedi Djeliad was unlimmie,l, and at every spot
he passed which was remembered by blur in co:in-:Joon
with any historic events, lie celebrated it by drinking a
glass of champagne. Amongst these places Cape Tea.
lalgar was riot forgotten, and Ire arid Captain Mackenzie
sat and talked over the terriole Peones that occurred
there. Khairedden Pacha, the Minister of Commerce.,
was originally a Circassian slave. He is a very fine
man.

El Hhami Pacha speaks French and English fluently.
The news of the death of the late Viceroy of. Egypt
reached England by way of Malta and Marseilles, partly
by means of the electric telegraph a few days ago. It
reached Malta after the departure of the Feih Djehad,
and of course the Prince could not hear of, to him, the
disastrous intelligence until his arriving at Southampton.
The yacht was telegraphed to Southampton, as passing

rockets ascended from the yacht in token of his having
anchored in English waters.
Soon after the yacht's arrival on Saturday night a small
steamer left Southampton pier for the yacht, having on
board Mr. Larkings, the Egyptian political agent ; Lieut.
O'Reilly, the deputy of Captain Austin, the Admiralty
superintendent, who was ill ; A. Brett, Esq. the Egyp-
tian vice-consul at Southampton ; and Dr. Wiblin, the
health officer ofthe port. As they approached the yacht her
gigantic proportions were apparently increased through
the darkness of the night. A flood of light was seen in
the spacious saloon, dusky figures were pacing the deck,
and dark mute figures !stood on the steps of the gang-
way, one over the other, holding immense arid brilliant
lanterns in their hands. Mr. Larkings and his party
stepped on board, and the former immediately went
below. During this time officers and distinguished per-
sous were walking the deck, enjoying themselves with
that gravity and quietude peculiar to the temperament
of the East and to the immediate precincts of royalty.
In less than five minutes, all persons who were crowded
round the state cabin on the main deck started back a

if by enchantment, for the Prince, convulsively sobbing,
was carried into it by his attendants, and slaves stood
around outside, to prevent any one tapproaching it. Et
Hhami Pacha had heard of his fathers death, and bad
learnt the precariousness of earthly greatness. Re bad
sunk to.fa private station under an Eastern despotism.
Orders were issued for immediate preparations to be
made to return to Alexandria. The Prince had lost a
royal parent ; all his suite had lost their rank, situations,
and a princely benefactor. The consternation on board
can scarcely be imagined.

LONDON, MONDAY, JULY 31, 1854.

The patience of the people of England in regard
to the war with Russia has been now, during

some months, rather severely exercised. We have
been waiting for news of some decisive victory

over the Russians—it matters not whether from
the fleet in the Black Sea or from the fleet in the
Baltic, from the coast of the Crimea or from the
shores of the Gulf of Finland. It has not unrea-

sonably been felt that expectations of some large
success on the part of the Allies might be cherished
after all the wonderful things that had been ac-
complished in the way of warlike preparations. It
is scarcely fair to accuse the community of over-
eagerness in looking before this for news of some
decisive advantage. It is scarcely fair, because
never was the confidence of the population on either
side of the Channel more clearly authorised, as it
were, by the unprecedented grandeur and pecu-
liarity of concurrent circumstances. It may
be all very true that even NELSON required
time in order to effect any one of his
unparalleled achievements. But NELSON was
obstructed in his movements in various ways un-
known to the naval commanders of our own gene-
ration. He had no steam-power at all—his sail-
ing vessels being wholly dependent upon the
casualties of weather, upon the accidents of wind
and tide, mitigated as these were, of course, upon
occasion, by the various skill, of his officers, in
the science of navigation. Again, NELSON was

opposed to, instead of being aided by, the poi,ver
ful maritime force of our French neighbours. As
to warlike operations upon land, moreover—it is
surely not undeserving of remembrance that a
campaign was begun and completed within four-
teen days 'by NAPOLEON. Aud NAPOLEON, not
less than NELSON, was unassisted by steam-power.
He could not transport his troops -at pleasure
from one point to another on board Aar-vessels,
moved by the force either of the paddle-wheel or
the screw-propeller. If he wanted to convey in-
telligence to any distance with unusual speed, he
was compelled to have recourse either to the rapid
gallop of the courier, or to the old, tedious, un-
certain, and often fog-interrupted Semaphore.
The Railway system had yet to be organised by old
ROBERT STEPHENSON. The electric telegraph had
yet to be brought into actual operation by the
astounding and almost miraculously successful
experiments made nearly simultaneously just six-
teen years after the death of the glorious captive
of St Helena, at Munich by STETNHEIL, at New
York by MORSE, and at London by WHEATSTONE.
It were frivolous, of course, to grumble, because
every age has not a NAPOLEON BONAPARTE
among it military
Commanders-in-Chief, or
's
because Cher© are not sea
Captains comparable to
Ho it,trio NELSON,
in every successive generation.
I%l°-----granted—but it may surely be allowable to
complain that, while so much could be accom-
Vlisned.by them respectively within such com-
'Pa"tirelY short intervals without the steam-
engine, the paddle-wheel, and the screw-propeller,
without the railway and the electric telegraph,
without long-range guns, and mitlie bullets and
Cola's revolvers_
month after month, one by
one, slips by without
anything being done by the
united (not the opposed, but the united) power of
France and England, aided by all these advan-
tages, combined with many others not enumerated.
Never were fleets and armies sent out under such
a combination of auspicious circumstances. Nay, the

-
