BHOPAL.

The capital and surrounding country are now as quiet
and settled, to all appearance, as though no Nawab
Ameer Mahomed Khan had never been in existence to
create strife. This state of matters is justly attributed
to the energy and prudence of the measures pursued by Mr.
llamilton, resident at the Court of Indore, the adjoining
state; ably seconded as he was at the time of the disturb-
ance, and continues to be, by the political agent, Captain
Cunningham, and commandant of the contingent, Captain
Landers.

THE MISSING MAIL.—Up to the hour of our going to
press (three A.m.) there was no appearance of the mail,
and we think the delay can only be accounted for by the
occurrence of accident, on this or the other side of Suez.
Late on Monday night it was intimated that the steamer
intended to have been dispatched last night would be
detained till four o'clock this afternoon, when we believe
she will start without fail, irrespective of the arrival or
non-arrival of the Suez steamer. The Governor-
General's express arrived about noon yesterday—that
from Calcutta having been received a couple of hours
before; and further delays, of which only a few could
avail themselves• in the way of answering letters, are
considered inadmissible. We, of course, can offer no
conjecture as to when the mail may be looked for. It is
considered not unlikely that the two of the 24th October
and 7th November may come in together a week hence.

EGYPT.

ALEXANDRIA, DEC. 20, 1846.

Since my last we have had continuous fine weather,
accompanied with easterly winds and night fogs, both of
which in this country are considered to indicate the ap-
proach or existence of sickness. The published bills of
mortality since the commencement of this change ex-
hibit, I regret to say, a great increase of numbers as
compared with the preceding six months of the present
year. So many as forty to fifty deaths a day have been
recently reported, whilst the average number during the
spring and summer did not exceed fifteen. There is
not, however, any disease of a dangerous or conta-
gious nature to be deplored, and deaths from dysentery
and influenza form the largest proportion in the returns.
The I'acha is still at Cairo. He is surrounded by the
principal consuls and consul's-general, and by the staff
and leading members of his own court. His health is
far from being so good as it used to be, though for a
man of eighty his physical energy is quite extraordinary.
The adoption of the Turkish costume among the civil
and military officers of his Government, has given, in
some cases, much offence to the prejudices of the Arabs,
who look upon it as too close an imitation of European
habits,

The Pacha intends quitting for Upper Egypt about
the beginning of the year, where he will remai❑ until the
early part of March.

MRS. TROLLOPE'S NEW WORK " FATHER Ens-
TACE."—While the social scenes make this one of the
most amusing of Mrs. Trollope's productions, the graver
portions of the narrative, as exhibiting the most ardent
passions and the severest struggles of the human breast,
give the work a higher character, and entitle it to be
placed among the best examples of modern ..romance.
The character of Father Eustace is highly effective and
dramatic. Possessed of rare talents, enthusiastic, ami-
able, and, as a Jesuit, pious and loyal, he is yet weak ;
and when tempted, takes a middle course, always the
most dangerous. His struggles between his sense of
duty and his love, are pourtrayed with much power.
The character of Juliana, the heroine, is of a higher
order than we commonly meet with in novels. She has
the lively imagination and ardent susceptibility of genius.
Her heast is first touched through her imagination. She
is impressed with the young Jesuit's taste, and with the
new world Lila conversation opens to her view ; and it is
beautiful to mark how, in turn, her imagination and her
udgment become moulded by her heart.—Britannia.
