EGYPT.

ALEXANDRIA, JULY 7.
His Highness the Viceroy is at present staying
at Benuali, where he will most probably remain
till the departure of his son for England.
This city has within the last few days been the
.;scene of two murders ; one the wife of a German
`inhabitant, who was found strangled ; the other a
pilgrim, who was stabbed by a drunken sailor.
There is no trace of either of the murderers. For
the latter, an Englishman was arrested, but has
since been set at liberty. The extent of his con-
nection with the murder was being in a state of in-
toxication that afternoon.

The Jasper steamer, in attempting to make the
port without a pilot, ran upon the rocks, but the
waves carried her over them, and she is safe in
port, with considerable damage to hull and the loss
of one of her crew.

bits great tightness, and the exchange has fallen to

_ROYAL FREE

(TRIS DAY.)

NINTH DAY'S INQUIRY,

This investigation was again resumed, for the ninth
time, at the Sheriff's Court, at eleven o'clock this morn-
ing, before Mr. Baker, the coroner.
After some discussion, during which the jury corn-
plaintd of the extreme length to which the proceedings
were carried, and of the unnecessary waste of their time,
Mr. Bodkin having intimated that as all other witnesses
having any bearing upon the case had been examined,
Mr. Thomas Weedon Cooke, surgeon, of 7G, Upper
Berkeley-street, Grosvenor-square, was called, and
stated that for 10 or 11 years he had been connected
with the Royal Free Hospital, and had been full surgeon
about three or four months. He first saw the child
about six days before the operation, and he and Mr.
Scobbell; the house.surgeon, examined the child, and
with a metallic sound, and discovered the presence of a
stone in the bladder. They both felt it, as did also Mr.
Morgan, of King's College Hospital, who is a pupil
of his (Mr. Cooke's). I told the mother of the
child that the child could only be relieved by an
operation, and said she had better consult her hus-
band. I saw the child again upon the Wednesday fol-
lowing. Mr. Wakley came in and said that the case
was his, explaining that as it had come in on Friday,
that being his day for receiving patients, and being an
out patient of his, the house surgeon had placed the case
under his care. I then said let it be so; but be said "No,
as it is under your care let it be so." As the child was
in great suffering we agreed that it should be operated
upon without delay. The child was in very good
condition for the operation previously to settling to per-
form the operation. The next day we had discussed the,
matter with Mr. Scobell and Mr. Grant, and after that
discussion went into the ward to see the child, and made
inquiries about the state of its inside and ordered castor
oil. The next day I took a friend of mine, Dr. Greener,
with me to see the operation performed. When I ar-
rived at the theatre of the Hospital I found that the
instruments for performing the operation had not
arrived. They had to come from Mr. Weiss,
the instrument-maker, of the Strand, who is appointed
to attend operations, and bring all the proper instru-.
ments with him. It is the practice of our hospital.
Mr. Baker—Mr. Weiss is, I believe, a first-rate
maker ?
Witness—He is.
Mr. Ballantine—There is no doubt of it.
Examination continued—Mr. Wakley was with.me in
the theatre, to assist me in -performing the operation.
Finding that the instruments were not ready, I directed
the child to be taken back into the ward, and in the
meantime the operation of removing a tumour from the
arm of a female patient was performed, which took
rather more time than usual in consequence of excessive
bleeding. She having been removed, I ordered the
child to be again brought in, the instruments and every-
thing being in perfect readiness.
The witness then went on to detail the care he had
taken of the child, and was under examination when we
went to press.

Arii EST FORE _N TINT s. 1 Russian (Cossack, I have heard) officer, who was
c:l;,t.urA
,1-.)v the Firebrand, when they so neatly
tikoppect upon the little garrison at Sulina, at two
a.m. Captain Parker, who commanded his men,
was the captor of the Muscovite, whose horse was
shot, and who was lugged out of a cask, booted,
spurred, and speared as he was. The unhappy
wretch was sunk in despair and horror at his fate
(as lie -imagined), for it would seem. it has been
sedulously instilled into his mind (and ex U7lO disce,
&c.) that we cut the throats of our prisoners, or
put them out of pain in some other still more native
(Russian) manner. They say that his mind is not
yet divested quite of this cheering impression.
His brother-officer and comrades (25 in all, or 24
minus our friend), were fortunate enough to escape
after making agood•stand (but a harmless one, for
we had not a man touched). As was " the custom
of Branksome-hall," their steeds " stood saddled in
stable day and night ;" so it was quick work for
he reivers to " mount and ride."

BOILER EXPLOSION AT ROCHDALE,

- -
A frightful accident of this character, involving a
fearful loss of life and a large destruction of property,
took place at an early hour on Saturday morning, at
Bridge-fold-mill, Rochdale. The buildings destroyed
by the explosion belonged to Mr. John Lord, solicitor,
and were situated on the banks of the Roach. They
consisted of a two-storied house occupied by Mr. Wil-
liamson, a cottage occupied by Mr. Howarth and his
wife (who were both killed), Howarth's father and two
children. Adjacent to these were the extensive works,
employing in one room 76 looms, in another 64 looms.
The hands went to work as usual at six o'clock to the
number of between 60 and 70, and they were waiting
for the starting of the engine. There was a delay,
owing to the absence of the engineer, whose duty was
taken by Howarth and one William Taylor, both
overlookers, and inexperienced men ; and most likely
their ignorance caused the explosion. On a sudden a
loud report was heard, followed by a terrible explosion,
which made an entire wreck of the property around. Some
masons at work on a church upon a hill near, observed
the buildings, as it were, raised in a mass, and the
people who escaped running wildly away from them.
In a short time a body of police were on the spot, with
several medical men, and an examination of the pre-
mises was at once proceeded with. The first object dis-
covered was the headless body of a young female, the
head of which had been forced through a window of a
house across the road. The body was subsequently
identified to be that of Ann Nicholls, a weaver, aged 21.
At the end of four or five hours it was discovered that
no more bodies were in the debris. The following
frightful list of casualties was then made out :

DEAD.
Ann Scott, weaver, aged 22.
Ann Nicholls, weaver, aged 21, head blown off.
Joseph Greenwood, a young man, a jobber.
Thomas Howarth, oyerlooker, aged 37. He was in
charge of the engine. -
Sarah Howarth, his wife, 35, killed in the house ;
leaves two children.

William Taylor, overlooker, 40. He was acting as
fireman. He was married, and leaves a wife and two
children.

Betsey Brierly, weaver, aged 20.
Alice Ashworth, weaver, aged 22.
Jane Ashworth, 21 years of age, her sister, not dead
when found, but expired a few hours after.
Jane Halkyard, a young woman.
INJURED.

Selina Diggle, weaver, aged 21, compound and simple
fracture of right thigh ; not likely to recover.
Elizabeth Waddington, weaver, 15, both thighs and
one leg broken.
Robert Widdop, weaver, 33, two severe fractures of
the skull.

Absolom Collinge, weaver, 20, more or less bruised
and injured.
Jane Walker, weaver, 18, extensive fracture of the
base of the skill ; not likely to recover.
Margaret Nuttal, tenter ; Sarah Scholefield, weaver,
18 ; John Ashworth, 22, weaver, husband of Alice
Ashworth, one of those killed ; Alice Stansfield, weaver,
28, married, and three children ; James Pearson, wea•
ver, 8 ; Alice Collingwood, weaver, 15 ; Betty Collinge,
weaver, 26.
The inquest upon the bodies will be opened at the
Wellington Hotel, by Mr. Dearden, the coroner, this
(Monday) afternoon.

ALGERIA.

The French Government has received a long re-
port from the Governor-General of Algeria, giving
an account of an attack made upon the Beni-
Hidgers, a powerful tribe, having 1,200 muskets,
and who had with them in this affair some other
tribes. The French troops met with a desperate
resistance, and were, fram the nature of the ground
occupied by the enemy, obliged to act with great
caution ; but they are stated to have been success-
ful, and to have killed 80 of the enemy. The loss
on the French side in killed was 5 soldiers, and 53
were wounded, among whom were three officers.
In a subsequent affair the Kabyles were defeated,
but the French had a captain and three men killed
and 40 wounded. After these two actions several
of the tribes offered their submission.

GENERAL COURT-MARTIAL.

Head• Quarters, Simla, May 15, 1854.
At a general court-martial, assembled at Umballah,
on Friday, Feb. 24, 1854, Quartermaster John Gillespie,
of her Majesty's 98th Regiment of Foot, was tried on
the following charges :
"That he, John Gillespie, on the 9th day of January,
1854, at Umballah, he being then and there an officer
serving in the territories of the East India Company, at
a distance of 120 miles from the presidency of Fort

THE MINISTERIAL CRISIS.

It is impossible to doubt that deliberations of the
gravest-and most anxious character occupy the attention.
of Ministers at those protracted sittings of the Cabinet'
which we are now so frequently called on to record.
They are such as to demand the constant reference from
.the Cabinet to the Sovereign. Last week we recorded
the faCt of the Minister of . War leaving his assembled
colleagues to have an audience of her Majesty, returning
from the Royal presence. to the council, and remaining
for hours in consultation with those colleagues.
On Saturday the incidents of the Cabinet Council
were hardly less remarkable. The Cabinet Council was
summoned for two o'clock. Ministers did not assemble
until three ; they then Met with one exception, that of
the Foreign Secretary, who was detained by an 'audience
with the Queen. Lord Clarendon joined his colleagues
at four. Their deliberations then lasted until half-past
six, and immediately on the breaking up of the council
Lord Aberdeen proceeded to the Palace to her Majesty.
We may add to these indications the fact that her Ma-
esty's stay in London has been already protracted some
days beyond the time at which it was expected the
Court would have departed for the Isle of Wight.
A meeting of his supporters in the House of Cosnmons
is convened by Lord John Russell at the official resi-
dence of the Premier. It is just possible that he is
about to take Mr. Disraeli's hint, and suggest to some
of those supporters the propriety of testing the opinions
of the House of Commons by proposing a vote of confi-
dence.

To-night the vote is to be taken on the estimate of the
new Minister of War. It is impossible to say what may
be the result of the discussions to which the estimate is
sure to give rise.
To these perplexities we must add the near approach
of that result of our Austrian alliance for which we have
been for some time preparing our readers.—Morning
Herald.

THE GQRDON RIGHLANDERS.

TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN.

cordially sympathise with the " Old Gordon
Highlander" who deplores the almost dismemberment
of the gallant 92d or Gordon 'Highlanders, by whOlesale
volunteering into the other Scotch regiments serving in
the East. His consolation, however, must be tthe
Highlanders' thirst for meeiAng the enemies of their
country in combat. To remedy the evil he justly la-
ments, I would suggest that a similar expedient be now
resorted to in recruiting in Scotland as was adopted
when the 92d w. 7.3 raised, namely, the offer of a shilling
in the Queen's name, and a kiss from the Duchess of
Gordon. Only this done, and the Gordon Highlanders
will rise instantaneously, like giants refreshed.

ITALY.

Letters from Rome, of the 10th inst., state
that a quarantine of five days has been estab-
lished in the Roman States for all persons arriving
by sea from France. The utmost alarm prevails
in Rome in consequence of the reports brought
of the ravages of the cholera in France, but no
case has occurred, either in Rome itself or in the
provinces.

The corn harvest has completely terminated in
the Ager Romanus, and the produce is excellent.
In the provinces the result is equally satisfactory.
The vineyards are promising. The Pope had not
yet gone from the Vatican to his usual summer
residnce, the Quirinal.

MILITIA.

The East Suffolk artillery, under the command of Colo-
nel Adair, has been practising with shot and shell at Land-
guard Fort, Harwich, and on Thursday so riddled the
object of their aim, an old vessel called the Cumberland,
that she sank.

The Bedfordshire militia are to be called out on the Ist
of August for service at Portsmouth.
It has been decided that the barracks for the 2d as well
as for the Ist Regiment of the Cheshire Militia shall be
built at Chester. It was thought that the barracks for the
2d Regiment would be at Stockport ; but the Lord-Lient-
tenant (the Marquis of Westminster) has not considered
that course desirable.

EXETER AND SOUTH DEVON VOLUNTEER RIFLE CORPS.
—Sir Edmund Saunderson Prideaux, Bart., the military
commandant, inspected the Exeter Company of this regi-
ment, on the open space near the cavalry barrack, on
Saturday afternoon, and spoke in high terms of praise
of the progress and present condition of the oorps. Sir
Edmund is about proceeding on a tour of inspection
throughout the country. This (Monday) morning he will
visit Exmouth, and Totnes in the afternoon. To-
morrow morning he will be at Torquay, and at Teign-
month on Wednesday. It has been stated to the regi-
'ment that this proceeding, on the part of the major
commandant is a preparation for a general muster of
the battalion.

LIVERPOOL, May 24.—The Pacific has arrived
with advices from New York to the 13th instant,
with $451,511 in specie. She spoke the Washing-
ton near New York, which had taken the crew and
passengers off a wreck.
The Nebraska Bill was still under discussion in
the house, and had given rise to a fracas.
The profit of the monopoly of Peruvian guano
by England had been discussed.
The efforts to raise the Ericsson had been at-
tended with success.
According to the Herald, President Pierce, in
his anticipated Message respecting the Black
Warrior affair, will recommend the blockade of
Cuba and Purto Rico.
The New York market was easier, and the de-
mand from the mercantile community decidedly
less pressing. Great caution was exercised in
making new arrangements, and fewer orders were
sent to Europe for goods.
The receipts of gold from California showed no
diminution, the receipts from the Ist of January
being $18,000,000. The fluctuations in the stock-
market had not been important ; there was little
speculative demand. The April earnings of all the
leading railroads were greatly in excess of the
previous year. The whole amount for the Haarlem
Railroad had been subscribed. _ _

Exchange on London, 109 to 109 i.
Trading in all its departments was dull. The
market ruled firm for cotton, particularly for mid-
dlings, which are scarce at an advance of to ie.
The flour-market was much depressed, and price I
had declined 12ic. to 25c. The receipts were in .
creasing, but no demand existed either for hom
use or export. Indian corn was also lower. Jersey
closing at $3 75c. to $3 871 c., and Brandywiue at
$4.
The market for provisions continued depressed
for all articles.

SPAIN.

The Spanish squadron of evolution, under the*
orders of Rear-Admiral Guttierez de Rubalcaba,
and consisting of the frigate Cortes, 32 ; the cor-
vettes Villa de Bilbao, 30 ; Ferolano, 30 ; Isabella,
24 ; Colon, 18 ; the brig Valador, 12 ; and the
steamer Leon, 2, with an aggregate of 1,557 men,
cast anchor on the 17th in the Piedmontese port of
Villafranca. According to the Commereio of Cadiz,
this squadron, with some additions, is soon to be
sent to Cuba.
The Madrid journals of the 19th have arrived in
due course. The Gazette contains a royal decree
which enacts that all colonial affairs, except such
as specially concern the Ministers of Var, Foreign
Affairs, and Marine, shall be disposed of by the
President of the Council of Ministers. The last
bulletin of Queen 'Christina was that she was
going on favourably. The ex-Queen of the French
had left Seville for Puerto Real, where she was to
embark for England. The Heraldo says, that the
Government has ordered a number of large guns.
to be sent to Culp to arm the principal forts. A.
letter says :—" The Queen is this evening to preside
at the weekly Council of Ministers. The President
of the Council is to submit to the approbation of
her Majesty different financial projects, and.
amongst them one relative to the demand of an
advance of half a year's taxes, repayable in three
years, and bearing interest of from 6 to 8 per cent.
In execution of this measure the Government will
make an issue of 180,000,000 reals in treasury
bills, a sum equivalent to the amount of half a
year's taxes." The letter adds, but it comes from.
a ministerial source :—" This measure naturally
excites the clamours of the Opposition, but it is
probable that it will succeed."
At Madrid, on the 19th, the Three per Cents.
were at 34.80.

I LOVE TEE LORD MAYOR.

( From Punch. )
(Song, supposed to have been improvised after dinner at.
the Mansion-house on a recent occasion.)

BY THE LORD CHIEF JUSTICE.
I love the Lord Mayor. with his chain of told,
And his Ninth of November Show.
It has ail
downco mayme
it everdownfro gomt.he days of old,
And
I love the City, the jolly old place,
The Cap of Maintenance, and the Mace.
I love the old Aldermen, brave old boys,
May their shadows be never less !
And their gooe old-fashioned convivial joys,
I love them, I must confess,
Traditional turtle, and venison haunch,
And capon to line his Worship's paunch.
I love the Recorder, the Sheriffs, too,
The Remembrancer likewise ;
The Swordbearer is a hero who
Is glorious in my eyes ;
And my esteem and my reverence
For the City Marshal are immense.
The Toastmaster and the Loving Cup
Do I also love right well ;
And may Swamhopping be still kept up
While the river's tido shall swell.
I love the Mansion-house and Guildhall,
And Gog and Magog—l love it all.
I love the old notion of grand display,
And feeding rich and gross,
And I love the City Arms, I say,
And Dontine, dirige Xos I
A dagger gales on an argent field,
Good luck to the vod old gallant shield !
Tho Metage I love, and I love the tolls,
And I love all the City dues,
I rejoice in paying the tax on coals,
Which the journalists abuse ;
I am willing and happy to help maintain
The pomp of the Civic Monarch's reign.
I love St. Stephen's, I love St. Paul's ;
May never improvement mar
The little that's left of the City walls,
I love dear old Temple Bar ;
Anti declare the proposal to pull it down
High treason against the Civic Crown.
I love all those banners, and all that plate,
love tint CliOrlll./11',
And tlio,, e heaps of trait ; I will also state
That I love this glass of wine.
May such good things here ever abound,
And here is my love to all around

LONDON SACRED HARMONIC SOCIETY,

Haydn's Oratorio of The Creation was performed at
Exeter-ball last night by this Society, and, as usual, it
attracted a numerous audience. It is always a general
favourite, but last night there was an additional attrac-
tion in the fact of the performance being for the benefit
of Mr. Surman, the founder of the Exeter-hall oratorios,
who was the conductor. The principal singers were
Miss Birch, Mrs. Temple, Mr. Paring, Mr. Lawler, and
Mr. Phillips. Miss Birch sang the two beautiful airs,
" With verdure clad," and "On mighty wings," with
great effect, and Mr. Perrin; received an encore in " In
native worth." The other singers also very ably sus-
tained their parts. The choruses were given with their
usual precision and effect. The Oratorio was preceded
by the Cantata in honour of her Majesty's birthday,
com posed by Dr. Elvey.

The racing throughout was good, and but for an acci-
dent it is very probable that no bump would have taken
place. By some means the coxswain of the Jesus crew
allowed the bung and the cord attached to it, by which
each bo at is started, to get entangled with the rudder,
which (rove them in the bank, and while in this dilemma
the second Christ Church, which had just started, came
so quic'k upon them, that before either boat could right
tself, Jesus was capsized, and seven of the crew were
thrown into the water by the concussion. Christ
Church, therefore, takes precedence of Jesus in the next
race.

OPERATIONS AGAINST SILISTRIA.

Advices from Vienna under date of yesterday
say :

On the 15th Marshal Paskiewitsch, with his staff,
crossed the Danube below Silistria to reconnoitre.

On the 16th terms of capitulation were offered
to the commander of that fortress, and the bom-
bardment suspended.
On the 17th Mussa Pasha rejected all terms, and
on the same day the bombardment recommenced.
_ _

On the 18th 'Marshal Paskiewitsch had his head.
quarters at Kalarasch.

Russian munitions of war have been removed
from Fokschani to Berlet, further north in Mol-

davia.

About 1,000 Wallachians of the better class are
in prison on charges of sympathising with the Turks.
The Cologne Gazette, under date of Vienna, 20th,
says ;—" The Russian generals employ not only
military but also religious means to take Silistria,
and to rouse Russian fanaticism to the highest
pitch of fury. A procession of 200 priests has
paraded through the different camps, holding up a
picture of Saint Sergius to the veneration of the
soldiers. The 25,000 men who are to make the
assault, and who are devoted to certain death, have
been concentrated in a separate camp, where they
prepare themselves for the assault by fasting and
religious exercises. They every day confess and
receive the communion ; the most exciting addresses
are made to them, and they. receive a general abso-
lution every evening after havingthad their weapons
blessed."
The Patrie says :—" The last news from the
borders of the Danube assures us that the siege of
Silistria has been suspended. A sudden rise of the
Danube had obliged the Russians to cease the fire
of the batteries established on the island which
commands the place."

DANYPARK STAKES.— Admiral Rous, to whom the
dispute was referred, has given this race to The Spider.

MONTAGIIE AND THE SHROPSHIRE SWEEPSTAKES.--...
Many disputes respecting the weight which Montague
would have had to carry for the Shropshire Sweepstakes
having occasioned a good deal of betting, and the point
being still a vexed question, the case has been sub-
mitted to the clerk of the course, who framed the con-
ditions with the express intention of preventing, if pos-
sible, the same horse from winning both handicaps, and
the following is his decision --" Montague's original
weight for the Shropshire Stakes at Shrewsbury was
sst 121 b, but after winning the Cleveland he would have
had to carry 7st 51b, being 211 b extra.

I LOVE THE LORD MAYOR.

( From Punch. )
(Song, supposed to have been improvised after dinner at
the Mansion-house on a recent occasion.)

BY THE LORD CHIEF JUSTICE.
I love the Lord Mayor with his chain of gold,
And his Ninth of November Show.
It has ail come down from the days of old,
And down may it ever go.
I love the City, the jolly old place,
The Cap of Maintenance, and the Mace.
I love the old Aldermen, brave old boys,
May their shadows be never less !
And their good old-fashioned convivial joys,
I love thew, I must confess,
Traditional turtle, and venison haunch,
And capon to line his Worship's paunch.
I love the Recorder, the Sheriffs, too,
The Remembrancer likewise;
The Swordbearer is a Lero who
Is glorious in my eyes ;
And my esteem and my reverence
For the City Marshal are immense.
The Toastmaster and the Loving Cup
Do I also love right well ;
And may Swanhopping be still kept up
While the river's tide shall swell.
I love the Mansion-house and Guildhall,
And Gog and Magog—l love it all.
I love the old notion of grand display,
And feeding rich and gross,
And I love the City Arms, I say,
And Domine, dirige Xos !
A dagger gales on an argent field,
Good luck to the good old gallant shield !
The Metage I love, and I love the tolls,

And I love all the City dues,
I rejoice in paying the tax on coals,
Which the journalists abuse ;
I am willing and happy to help maintain
The pomp of the Civic Monarch's reign.
I love St. Stephen's, I love St. Paul's;
May never improvement mar
The little that's left of the City walls,
I love dear old Temple Bar;
And declare the proposal to pull it down
High treason against the Civic Crown.
I love all tlmse b triflers, and all that plate,
-

And I love Lilut, enorinous pine,
And those heaps of fruit ; I will also state

That I love this glass Of wine.
May such good things here ever abound,
And here is xcy love to all around !
