A DISTINGUISHED FOREIGNER.

El Hhami Pacha, who has just arrived in England,
is 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 Ibrahim
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 roost distinguished person in the kingdom, and as
Abbas Pacha was, jolt 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
of Turkey's 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, with a present of 100,0001. sterling in English
sovereigns, doubtle-s a most timely present. After his
betrothal he obtained permission from the Viceroy and
Sultan to make the grand tour of Europe, and he corn.
messed that tour under the brightest auspices, and a
style of great magnificence, perhaps that was ever known.
His father had wade him iiumen-ely rich, and gave him
the fa-nous 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
110,000/. 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 eac of them
weighs 70 tons. She is remarkably fast.
El Rharni 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 Southamp
ton. He then intended visiting most of the capitals of
Europe, during which time his yacht was to be ducked
in England, as there was no dock in the Mediterranean
large enough for her gigantic dimensions, and then she
was to proceed homeward and he prepared to receive
Prince El Hhami Pacha at Genoa. The prince had up-
wards of 30 persons forrLing his suite, some of them
distinguish: Egyptiana, and a retinue of Nubian, Abys-
smian, and Circassian slaves. The whole of the persons
,in board were nearly 400. Amongst these were 31
pupils arid two ina-ters train 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 seven
Europeans. Even some of the engineers were Arabs, •
who perfectly understood the management of steam en:
glues, haying 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 Sunman
Pacha, Cominander-in-Chief of the Egyptian army ;
hh.iiredden Pacha, Minister of Commerce in Egypt ;
Ablullah Pacha, Director-General of Egyptian Transit
and Railway ; Ali Bey and Murad Effendi Bey, aides-
ile-camp ; and Dr. Lautier, the Prince's Physician.
Snliman 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 Pacha were
indebted for the superior organisation and successes of
the Egyptian army. He is a hale and fine old man,

He was on

the battle of Trafalgar. His delight at visiting Europe
in the Feih Djehad was unbounded, and at every spot
he passed which was remembered by him in connexion
with any historic events, be celebrated it by drinking a
glass of champagne. Amongst these places Cape Tra-
falgar was not forgotten, and he and Captain Mackenzie
sat and talked over the terrible scenes that occurred
there. Khairedden Pacha, the Minister of Commerce,
was originally a Circassian slave. He is a very fine

man.

El Hharai 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 hint, the
disastrous intelligence until his arriving at Southampton.
The yacht was telegraphed to Smthaitipton, as passing
Hurst Castle, opposite the Isle of Wight, at 8 o'clock on
Saturday night, and she anchored at the West India
buoy two hours afterwards. Such was the exuberant joy
on board at their idolised Prince reaching the land he
had so long desired to see, and where royal honours
were believed to await him, that guns were fired and
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 lark mute figures' stood on the steps of the gang-
way, one over the other, holding immense and brilliant
lanterns in their hands. Mr. Larkings and his party
stepped on board, and the former immediately went
below. Duriig this time officers and distinguished per-
sons 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 as
if by enchantment, for the Prince, convulsively sobbing,

Miami Pacha had heard of his fathers death, and had
learnt the precariousness of earthly greatness. He had
sunk to a private station under an Eastern despotism.
Orders were issued for immediate preparations to be
made to return to Alexandria. The Ptince 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.
