The Constitutionnel has the following on the
change that has taken place in Egypt
"The sudden death of Abbas Pasha has called to the
Government of Egypt his uncle, Said Pacha, Ac-
cording to European ideas of succession to the throne,
it would have appeared that the Egyptian vice-
royalty should have belonged to the son of Abbas
Pacha, Hami Pacha, who has just left Alexandria
on a tour in Europe. Such, however, is not the order
of succession according to the patriarchal law as set down
in the Koran. The heir to the throne is always the eld-
est of the family. A curious example of this was seen at
the time of the death of Ibrahim Pacha. Mehemet Ali
left three sons, Ibrahim Pacha, Toussoum Pacha, and
Said Pacha. After Ibrahim Pacha, the viceroyalty fell
to Abbas Pacha, the son of Toussoum Pacha, who had
died some time before, and not to Said Pacha, for the
reason that Abbas Pacha being born in 1813, and Said
Pacha in 1822, the former was the elder, and conse-
quently the chief of the race. At that period, therefore,
it was the nephew who succeeded, to the prejudice of the
uncle ; whereas now it is the uncle who succeeds, to the
prejudice of the nephew, in consequence of priority of
birth. Said Pacha was born in 1822, and he is,
therefore, 32 years of age, and not 36, as has been
stated by a contemporary. As he comes to power in
the prime of life, it may be hoped that be will govern
Egypt for many years. He is a prince endowed with
fine and noble qualities, and is highly esteemed by
the enlightened part of the nation, who have al-
ways founded very sanguine hopes on him. His in-
struction is very remarkable ; he not only has a well-
grounded knowledge of the ordinary sciences, but he has
studied with particular attention history and navigation.
He speaks with elegance and purity several living lan-
guages of the Est and West, and particularly French,
with the literature of which country he is perfectly con-
versant. Being of an enlightened and liberal mind, he
takes pleasure in encouraging a taste for intellectual
knowledge in others. He has for this reason con-
stantly supported at his expense, in the different schools
of Europe, numerous pupils belonging to the most dis-
tinguished families of the country. A prince of this
generous and elevated character, who likes and appre-
ciates France, the civilis4tion and arts of which he has
himself studied, and who has always given the Sultan
proofs of the most unchangeable devotedness, will know
how to maintain Egypt in the excellent path on which
she has entered, and will worthily continue the glorious
work of his illustrious father."

STATE OF TRADE.

(From the Manchester Guardian of this day.)

MANCHESTER, July 28.—Fine weather and a further
considerable fall in the price of corn have favourably
affected our market in the present week. During the
last two days, yarns have been fully as dear as they
were on Tuesday ; but buyers hesitate to pay the prices
required, and business is in some degree checked. In
goods (except India descriptions) there is a slight ac-
cession of firmness, with rather more inquiry for some
kinds, and an expectation of a better demand for home
consumption, as well as for various foreign markets.
We have excepted yarns and goods for India and China
from the tendency to improvement. They are, indeed,
extremely dull; and, at best, prices are barely sustained.
This flatness is not likely to be relieved by the advices
whch came to hand last night. At Bombay, it was not
the season for business ; scarcely anthing was doing,
therefore, and the prices of yarns and goods were rather
lower, as was also the rate of exchange on England.
NOTTINGHAM, July 27.—Numerous complaints are
made by lace manufacturers of the entire absence of
business, and in' consequence many machines are only
partly employed.
LEICESTER, July 27.—Several of the London and
Manchester buyers have given out their season's orders,
ufier the impression that the material and workman-
ship are at their lowest—confidence in prices is thus re-
stored, and the result is that employment, both in the
spinning and weaving departments, has become more
general.
