from the tees to whkh she Ills been already sub-
jected, that pave a wry fast frigate. The
fact, is, that the boftia.)l,.-: disuo,ilion of Admiral
Ildiz Bey was the oniy thing which was put to a
severe aad searching trial on Saturday, and we are
hound to say that it stood the tot without showing a
flaw. Among the guests )'resent were the Earl of
Ellesmere, Admiral Lord William Fitzroy, and the
Hon. Misses Fitzroy, the Lord Mayor, Lady Fitz-
gerald, Mrs. Henry Ward, Mr. Anderson, M.P
Mr. Lloyd (chief engineer to the Admiralty), Mr.
Peacock, Mr. Cunlitfe, Mr. Wigram, Mr. Penn,
Mr. Mandsley, Mr. Mare, Mr. MillEr, Mr. Ra-
venhill, the lion. 11. E. S:.toly, Mr. Ayrton, the
Rev. Mr. Reeves, Mr. Leonard, Mr. George
li:mdzeer, and Mr. Charles Lanleer. The
Lords of fne Admiralty were among the gue.tts
invited, but the did not appear. His Excellency
the Tulkish Ambassador was also invited, but was
prevented from being present by a prior engagement.
The Lord Mayor and the Earl of Ellesmere left the
frigate betere she had gone very tar down the river.
After the company fiLd been made suffiaiently at
home by the politeness and ettervion of Admiral
Hatiz Bey, Mohamed Boy, and the other officers on
hoard, dancing introduced, in which some of the
Egyptian gentlemen present joined. This part of the
proceedings and the music which accompanied seemed
to give vast (1-11;01t to the crew, who crowded towards
the quarter-deck to see ladies in public not only un-
veiled but dancing.

At four o'clock the Sharkie, being within a few
talks of Shierness, was put round and returned up
the river a‘-.era wry daghtful run, to the pleasure
of which tile beauty of the weatthr materially con-
tributed.

At five o'clokl the company proceeded to do ample
justic. to the sumptuous chjeuner supplic-d for them.
The heads of thr different tables were occupied by
Admn-al Ilafiz I3rjr, by Mohamed I3ey, and the
superinteuJent of the dockyard at Alexandria, and
by M. Pasquali, commercial agent of his Highness
Abbas Pa,oa. The two lager spt-ak English fluently,
and were therefore able to do the honours in the
language of their guests. The old Admiral used
Mr. Ayttou as the intrpleter of his feelings to the
company.

Airiong the toasts proposed during the evening
were " The Queen," " Prince Albert and the Royal
Family," " The Sultan," " Mehemet Ali," " Abbas
P.sha," and the " British Navy,"
Mr. AYRTON proposed the last toast, on betel f of
Admiral llafiz Bey, in very spirited and highly cow-
plimentay terms.

On returning to the deck pipes and coffee were
handed round in the eastern fashion, and the former
luxury especially was eagerly embraced by many of
the gentlemen 'present. Whether the attempts at
Oriental manners on the part of our countrymen
were quite so successful as those at English manners
by the Egyptians remained to the close of the even-
ing rather a doubtful question. At Purfleet the
frigate anchored for the night, and the guests took
their departure for town in the Jupiter steamer,
highly gratified with their day's amusement, and
with the kind and hospitable reception they had met
with.

THE COUNTRY MARKETS.
MANcnEsTER, JUNE 9 —With a continuance of most
favourable weather, every branch of trade observes the greatest
caution in purchases, which are restricted to the supply of re-
sent wants. To-day the demand for each article is slow, and
confined almost entirely to the beat samples, at about the rates
of our last, any change in pi ices being in favour of the buyer..
WINCHESTER, JUNE 9.—Corn—Very little difference in •
the price of wheat. Caro dealers and millers bought go°-
samples, without much pressing, at the highest, prices given
last week. Hops—Reports as to the growing plant heir/
various, and in some parts unfavourable, caused holders of last
year's growth to ask an advance of 5s per cwt. for best Ferri'
trims, Alton's and Sussex grown, yet purchasers were not dir
posed to yield to the excess, consequeetly but very little bust'
Hess was transacted. Farnhams at from 51 to 6 lOs per cwt'
