EGYPT.

THE EGYPTIAN TRANSIT COMPANY.

CAM, 'Manus 9.—The Egyptian Transit Company, as
constituted under the -directorship of Mr. Thurburn, may
now be considered as brought to a close, and there appears no
rea'on to doubt that, in alew- days the new Turkish ma-
nagement, appointed by thasViceroy, will come into opera-
tion. The question, howeVer; of the delivery over to the
Vioeroy of the stationsin the desert is not yet settled, and
it appears that the Bombay Steaul Fund Association, to
whom they belong, decline . ceding them to the EKeptian
authorities, although they' are willing to do so to the British
Government, and the association has written to this effect to
Colonel Barnett, the British Consul-General, requesting him
also to protect their interests. .

by the French representatives and emissaries in this country,,
really appears to have been so thoroughly frightened into the
belief that the English intend to take possession of Egypt;
as to determine his Highness to thwart any such views by
means in his power.
But the Viceroy has been further materially aided in his
final decision of taking the management of the transit into
his own hands, by an arrangement just agreed to between
him and Sir John Pirie, who has been sent here on behalf
of the Peninsular and Oriental Steam Navigation Company.
The latter, very much to the surprise of most people, with-
draw all opposition to the transit service being performed
under Turkish management, in consideration of the Vice-
roy's agreeing to purchase the new iron steamer Delta
(which has been lying idle at Alexandria for many
months), for 7,0001. sterling, also all the Company's -old
carriages, harness, ; the Company to be permitted to
transport through Egypt all their own goods in transit, and
also agreeing to keep up their present QS' ablishments, like.
wise their two steamers on the Nile, Lotus,
the Cairo, and to-
gether with a steam-tug on the Mahmoudie Canal. The
Viceroy's Turkish Company is to carry the passengers and
their baggage between Alexandria and Suez, and his Highness
has consented to reduce the charge for each passenger, from
15/. to 121. sterling. The present employes, many of whom
are Englishmen, are to be continued under the new Turkish
management. It will soon be seen how the new system will
work; even if it should go on well at first, it is scarcely pro-
bable that regularity, punctuality, and civility will be main-
tained under Oriental 'management.
The grand object which at present engrosses the Viceroy's
attention is the Barage of the Nile, the preparations for exe-
cuting which his Highness is pushing on with all possible
activity. In short, he scarcely thinks of anything else, and
to show his anxiety on the subject, he lately went down to
Alexandria, taking them all by surprise, and this merely by
his personal presence to force all his steamers to drag out of
the harbour, in spite of wind and weather, the large pon-
toons destined for pile- driving and ether works. In effecting
this, his Highness su:ceeded in damaging several of the
steamers, and causing the loss of another, which was destined
fix the river navigation. What may be the result of this
grand attempt to dam up the stream of one of the principal
rivers of the world, remains to be seen. There are many
who consider it will only cause great mischief, and that the
:onderful advantages predicted by its promoters will vanish
before the difficulties to be contended with. If the Viceroy
lives, the work will be persisted in, should it not only cost all
the money now existing in the public coffers, but the re-
venues of several years to come, besides, it is to be feared a
terrible sacrifice of human life.
The stupendous fortifications which for some time past
have been erecting round Alexandria, are still proceeding
alter the plans of a talented French officer. These fortifica-
tions already extend to the whole circuit of the city, in de-
tached forts, Paris fashion, besides heavy batteries erected
seaward. No doubt the monster guns which some time
since were cast in England, expressly by his Highness's
orders, will be mounted on these fortifications. They were
cast by Walker and Co., and from a written memorandum
it appears some of those guns were proved, and their capa-
cities tried, previous to their being sent out on Sandwich flats,
by a part of the Royal Artillery. One gun weighed 18 tons,
being 13 feet in length, 15 inches bore, carried a 460-pound
solid shot, or a 330 hollow shot, with a charge of 42 pounds
of powder, and at an elevation of 10 degrees. ,The solid
460-pounds shot was projected a mile and a half. Another
of these guns weighed 11 tons, I'2/ feet in length, carried a
solid shot of 130 pounds, and with a charge varying from
29 to 3, pounds of powder, at an elevation of 10 degrees,
threw a shot I mile and 178 yards ; while at 20 degrees
elevation the shot was projected 2/ miles and 269 yards.
There are those who say that Alexandria is now nearly
ready for French occupation, and many more who firmly be-
lieve that this will undoubtedly take place as soon as a good
excuse, or the chapter of accidents, will admit. Probably
this may not happen in the lifetime of Louis Philippe, but
afterwards how soon none can tell.

AN IMPUDENT THIEF.—On Wednesday forenoon a
man dressed in the garb of a sailor entered the shop of Mr.
Clapham, residing at 72, Porter-street, and desired to be sup-
plied with half au ounce of tobacco. On receiving the article
named, he tendered a sovereign in payment, and the requi-
site change was then handed to him. Whilst the fellow
was disposing of his cash, Mr.Clapham incautiously took from
his desk a purse containing a number of sovereigns, into
which he also deposited the sum he had received of the party,
and then placed the money in his desk. The man then
ordered some vinegar, to procure which Mr. Clapham had to
walk to another part of the premises, but it would seem the
fellow had merely given the second order to distract the
attention cf the shopkeeper, for on returning with the liquid,
he refused to accept it, and walked out of the shop. Mr.
Clapham had not, however, his suspicious aroused until
some time after, and on going to the desk before referred to,
lie discovered that he had been robbed of the purse and
twenty sovereigns and a half sovereign.—Hull Advertiser.
THE LATE EXTENSIVE ROBBERIES.—A meeting of
magistrates, merchants, and tradesmen of the town, friends
of Mr. I. Daniel and Mr. C. Gardner, was held at the
Town-hall, on Saturday last, and numerously attended. The
object was to raise a subscription to alleviate their condition,
consequent upon their recent heavy losses, occasioned by their
premises being broken into and robbed, as stated in our last.
Amongst the gentlemen present were Joseph Jones, Esq.,
ex-Mayor; Thomas William Palmer, Esq. (J.P.) ; Thomas
Wilson, Esq., Messrs. I'. and B. Jacobs, Alexander, Hutchin-
son, Barnes, J. Robinson, olicitor ; J. Glover, Cortis, Hart,
W. Field, B. Oates, W. &Hinson, Taroni, Cowham, Evans,
T. Abbey, Savage, T. White. &c. &c. The Mayor, Alderman
Thompson, and Charles Whitaker, Esq, each sent intima-
tions of their concurrence in the object of the meeting, and
the two former stated that they would each have been present
if they had not been prevented by pressing engagements.
The most perfect unanimity prevailed, every speaker expressing
the pleasure which it gave him to aid so laudable an effort ; and
it was resolved at once to commence a subscription. The meet-
ing resolve:? itself into a committee to carry out the object,
with power to add to their number; and a sub-committee,
consisting of the Mayor, the ex-Mayor, Messrs. B. Jacobs,
Alexander, Evans, Palmer, Wilson, Cortis, W. Collinson, M.
C. Peck, Field, Oates, Cowham, Abbey, and Savage, was
elected, as a committee of management to receive subscrip-
tions, and to apply them to the purposes of the subscription,
under the direction of the general committee. It was also
resolved that subscription lists be placed in the banks and
other public places. Mr. Cowham was elected treasurer and
hon. secretary. A number of gentlemen immediately put
down their names for 51. each.—ull Advertiser.

A mysterious case (4f extensive poisoning has taken
place at Barrow. near this town. On Friday se'nnight- the
daughter of Mr. Lockwood, of the Lion Inn, was seized with
violent sickness and other alarming symptoms, immediately
after partaking of a meal of sausage rolls. The illness eonti •
nued till Sunday evening, when, as she got worse, Mr.
Barker, the surgeon, was sent for, who found her labouring
under very distressing symptoms of having taken metal-
lic poison. A child of Mr. Cooper, sister-in-law of Miss
Lockwood, having eaten a tart, immediately became sick,
but did not suffer any ill effects. Mr and Mrs. Lockwood,
their two sons, and the maid-servant, were also taken ill after
partaking of the pastry. During the Monday a char woman
of the name of Adkin and two men named Frost, of Barrow,
and Sargeant, of Hargrave, ate some pudding and sau-
sage-rolls at the house, and Sergeant carried home a roll
and gave it to his child, when all were taken ill, and
Frost suffered very severely, and is still unable to work.
Mr. Cooper and his apprentice took part of a sausage-roll
and a tart, but although one was sick and the other felt ill,
they did not experience any alarming symptoms; making in
all twelve persons who have suffered more or less. It appears
that the flour from which the pastry was made stood in a
pintry in the yard, but how the poison was introduced re-
mains a mystery, as Mr. Lockwood has never, to his know-
ledge, had any mineral poison in the house, although he had
had wheat steeped in a narcotic liquid for the purpose of
catching mice. Part of the vomitted matter, and also part of
the pudding and sausage-rolls, were forwarded to Mr. Nunn,
of Bury, for analysis.—Bury Post.
VINDICATION OF THE LEaouE.—National revolutions
have generally been bought with the price of blood; they
have too often resulted only in the substitution of one
despotism for another; they have almost always been con-
fined in their effects to a single country. We are on the eve
of a revolution precisely the reverse. It has been peaceful
in its operation ; it will be world wide in its blessings. All
honour be to the League that has prepared us for the change.
This League was born in contempt—it rose amidst sneers and
contumely into popular favour—it has flourished amidst
calumny and reproach—it has triumphed amidst the oedema-
flans of its once most violent opponents. We cannot agree
with those who look upon the past existence of the League
as an evil, only justified by a still greater one. It may be,
that gentle and peaceful agitation is as necessary to the salu-
brity of the political atmosphere as to that of-the material
world. Nay, that its severest storms have the same utility in
the economy of the one as of the other. If so, the League has
proved not an evil, but a good. It is certain that it has used
its vast influence for high and noble purposes. In all respects
it has been an intellectual agitation. Its magnificent
bazaars, rightly considered, have been expositions of the
triumph of mind over matter. Its tracts and lectures have
embodied the soundest doctrines of moral and political
science. With the knowledge of the true principles of inter-
national intercourse, it has infused an intense love of inter-
national peace. It has awakened the most-generous emo-
tions of the national heart, It has practicalised religious
creeds, imbuing all of them with more of the true spirit of
our common Christianity. It has softened the asperities of
party, and created higher standards of right and duty for
political leaders. If it has curbed the power of the aristo-
cracy, it has purified the press, and exalted the people. On
every suitable occasion it has repudiated the doctrine of phy-
sical force. It was not the League, but a Minister of the
Crown, who, while acknowledging that its agitation was
not of force but of reason," said that if reason were rot
yielded to, " some day force might he added." Tne League
has never for a moment lost sight of the efficacy of its wea-
pons or the justice of its cause. And when it has fulfilled its
mission—when its mighty organisation shall have ceased to
exist with the enormous wrong which called it in*o being,
the names of its leaders—no less wise than powerful—Cob-
den and Bright, and Wilson and Villiers—will long be re-
membered as benefactors to their country and mankind.—

JERSEY.—A recruiting party, of the Bsi Velment,
is actively engaged in enlisting recruits for her Majesty's service.
Several stout fellows, in sailor's jackets, who had accepted the
bounty, were seen parading the town with cockades in their hats,
apparently delighted at the prospect of soon exchanging their sea-
going garb for a uniform a la mifitaire.
POST-OFFICE.-011 Wednesday, the Ist ofApril,
sundry important alterations will take place both in the arrival and.
departure of the mails. The box, which now closes at 5 P.M. will
close at half-past four o'clock, and no letters can be received at the
window after ten minutes past five o'clock. The morning train will
be due at twenty-three minutes past seven o'clock, instead ofhalf-past
six, but scarcely any perceptible difference will take place in the time of
delivery. The minor mall.; will all be influenced by these arrange-
ments. The only advantage to the public will be with respect to
the dispatch of letters to the north, which, leaving Hull at eighteen
minutes past live o'clock, will meet at Normanton tin same train
from London which the coach at 1 P.M. used to meet at yerk. The
object of the change is solely to secure greater regularity ; and so far
it will be an advantage.—Hull Adverti,ler.

THE WAR ON TRE SUTLEJ.

The following letter from a youth of 17, gives a gra-
phic account of the late actions in India:—
" Camp, somewhere near Ferozepore, on the banks
of a nullah' (river), Jan. 2, 1846.
"My dearest Uncle,—Before this letter reaches its desti-
nation, you will, no doubt, have seen and read the Governor-
General's dispatch, containing an account of the two actions
fought—on the 18th of December, and the other on the 21st
and 22d of the same month—also, a list of the killed and
wounded ; and, amongst the latter, you will see flourishing
my father's and nay own name ; but when you see them be
not alarmed, for we are both, thank God, doing 'well ; and,
what's more, you will not only see us mentioned amongst
the killed and wounded, but, I hope, amongst the gallant and
brave. One thing I can safely say-, that we neither of us
disgraced the family, nor the Irish blood flowing within us.
I suppose you would like to hear my account of the battle ;
well, as much of it as I saw you shall have. In your last
letter to me (received yesterday) you advised me to offer nay
services as a cavalry volunteer, should there be war with the
Punjaub. You will be surprised to hear that I offered my-
self more than a fortnight ago, and was accepted, aid made
acting aid-de-camp to Brigadier Gough on the spot, who
commanded the second brigade of cavalry, consisting of the
Governor-General's body guard and the sth regiment o.
Light Cavalry. I thought myself one of the luckiest doge
on the face of the earth ; and all I wished for was a fight
that day, just that I might have an opportunity of showing
the brigadier what sort of fellow he had for an aid-de-camp.
By Jove, uncle! I had scarcely expressed the wish when a
letter came to say that the Seikhs were ite force not fat
ahead. The order was immediately given to advance in line
draw swords, and load pistols; add we adVanced in. a most
beautiful line, horse artillery and cavalry together, the in
fantry in the rear a good distance. Well, we advanced in
this way for many miles; and at last, seeing no enemy, the
order was given to halt, at a place called Moodkee, and marl:
out the ground for the camp, which was done in a short time;
and, soon afterwards, we found ourselves seated round a
table in the open air, eating and drinking away at a splendid
lunch, or tiffin, as they call it in this country But a
soldier's life is so uncertain ; you do not know what a
minute may bring forth. There we were (eight of us).
seated round this table. talking, laughing, eating and drink•
ing, little thinking what was in store for us. We had
been in this way for about half an hour, when, all of a
sudden, one of the officers jumped up and said, Do
you hear the assembly' sounding?" We were on our feet
in half a second, and soon after every man was on horse-
back. I took up my post close to thebrigadier, and followeti
him every where lie went. The order was given, ea bri-
gade, form line and advance; the enemy are within a niile
of you!' The gallant young fellows of the sth gave a cheer
—enough to do any one's heart good who heare it, and ad-
vanced steadily. We had proceeded about three-quarters of
a mile from camp, when we heard a bang and a whiz, and
then another and another in rapid succession. Our artillery
came up in the meantime, and began firing at theirs. The
cavalry were drawn up in line behind the artillery, and every
now and then a round shot from the enemy's guns came into
our ranks. The infantry had not come up at this time. Au
order came from the chief, telling the cavalry to go at a
smart trot, and turn the left flank of the enemy. At this
time I was not with the brigadier, he having sent me to
camp to tell the 4th Lancers to come up at a gallop and join
the' rest of the cavalry. When I returned I found the cavalry
moving round the flank, and I was obliged to go at a good
gallop to overtake the brigadier. Whilst passing the sth a
round shot came whiz quite close to me and entered their
ranks, that was the first shot that took effect that day, it
broke two of the horse's legs, and that was the last I saw of
the sth Light Cavalry. Her Majesty's 3d Dragoons were
leading, followed by the 2d brigade, and also by the 4th
Lancers. We had gone in this way for a mile, when the
Dragoons ahead of us gave a cheer; they had just got a
glimpse of the enemy. We took up their cheers—had scarcely
commenced, when an order was given, 'Body-guard, right-
wheel.' I turned round to see what was the meaning of the
order, and the first thing that caught my eye was a body of
the Seikh cavalry amongst a lot of bushes. A great number
of the body guardmen did not hear the order and fol-
lowed the 3d Dragoons. We managed, however, to get
about forty of them together, and went at the enemy it
sections of , threes—not being able to form a line am'
charge on account of the bushes. The cheer I told you of
before, that the 3d Dragoons gave, raised my Irish spirit to
such a pitch that I said to myself, Now, then,
for the
honour of Old Erin,' and in another minute I found myself
in themiddle of the Sikhs. I was surrounded by four of these
blackguards, all cutting and slashing at me with their swords,
and to make me worse, I lost,both my stirrups ; there was
not a man of the body-guard near me at the time; it was a
dreadful situation to be in, certainly ; and the only thing left
was to make a last effort, which I did by digging both my
heels into the sides of my little horse, and giving one or two
jolly cuts with my sword, which cleared the way for me ; I
soon found myself amongst the body-guard again, with only
a slight wound on the thigh. Not long after this, we were at
them again, and I got a shot right through the muscle of my
right arm, and another a little higher up, which went
throught my coat and my shirt, but never touched my skin.
Was not that a narrow escape? Four officers out of six were
wounded that evening; I mean those of the body-guard.
Well, after fighting for some time, we (forty of us) gave
about 200 of the Seikhs as good a licking as ever they got.
But if those fellows fought as well at the end as they did at
the commencement they would have cut up every one of us ;
for we are no match to them hand-in-hand work. They
use their swords and manage their horses a great cull
better than we do; and they proved it that evening. Two
of the officers had their reins cut; a fellow tried that at
mine, but missed, and caught my horse such a cut be-
hind the ear.
"The battle of Moodkee, I see, has taken up a whole sheet
of paper. I must therefore cut it short; but, before doing
so, I must tell you something of myafather, and the narrow
escape he had that evening. My dad, with his regiment,
lost sight of the brigade soon after we made the move round
the enemy's flank. The dust and smoke were so great that
you could not see your hand before you. Had it not been
for that, the sth would have been up with U 3 when we at-
tacked those fellows in the bushes, and the consequence
would have been that they would all have been hatchered.
and very likely we should not have been so (severe te cut up.
When my governor found himself all alone with hiseegiment.
he was rather puzzled what to do; but, rather than stand
still, he moved on with his regiment towards some dust
he saw in the distance, not knowing whether it was the
enemy or ourselves that was kicking it up, and caring very
little which—but on he went. After ten minutes' canter-
ing, he was astonished to hear his men cheering, and
asked them why they did so ? They said they saw the
Seikhs ahead. He had not time to give them an
order, for no sooner had they commenced cheering than his
horse—a brute lie gave 1,000 rupees only a week before—
took to its heels, and rushed off right into the middle of
the enemy's infantry. Not a man of the sth went after
him, though they would follow him to the —, if they had
orders ; but they were obliged to keep to their ranks. The
Seikhs fired volley after volley at him ; but, by some luck
or other, he went right through their ranks without getting
a hit. He was a long time riding alone by himself, and at
last he came up with the Commander-in-Chief, Sir Robert
Sale, and the 31st Queue's. He was talking to Sir Robert
Sale when he was shot, and, at the same time, my go-
vernor, was hit with some grape in the left arm, and
had his sword' broken over his head; and an
hoar or two after the fighting was over, we all returned to
camp and had a splendid dinner. Now then, uncle, I
must hurry over the account of the next action, which lasted
twenty four hours; the Waterloo of India. We had two
days given us, after the Moodkee affair, to rest our limbs
and bury our dead. On the morning of the 21st we marched
at sunset in battle array, the infantry leading, followed by
artillery, protected by cavalry. We marched about twelve
miles when the halt was sounded. We dismounted and had
something to eats We had about a quarter of an hour's rest,
when we were on the move again•towards the enemy's in
camp, which was distant about two miles. In a short
time we were within gunshot of it. The halt again sounded,
and the Governor-General, Commander-in-Chief, and all the
general officers, held a consultation whether we should at-
tack them at once, or wait until the following morning. Sir
Hugh Gough was for attacking them at once, and it was
given in his favour; so, at three o'clock, our heavy guns
opened upon their camp. There was a heavy fire kept up
from both sides. At last we managed to set fire to their
camp. Our infantry made three or four charges at their bat •
teries, and succeeded in driving the fellows away from their
guns, and spiking them ; but they could get no further than
the guns. The enemy's infantry fought beautifully. I don't
mean to say they could lick ours, but they blew hundreds 01
our brave fellows up by springing mines, and then coming
down in numbers, and firing at us with their matchlocks. It
was about nine o'clock whits our infantry retired from the
camp. I was at that time with the sth Cavalry talking
to my father, when a round shot came right between us
both, and killed a trooper and a horse behind us. By Jove
uncle, I shall never forget that shot as long as I live, the
whiz that that ball made was ringing in my ears for at least
an hour afterwards. We bivouacked for that night close to
the enerby's camp, and they, amused themselves by firing at
us with their big guns the whole night. At daybreak, on the
morning of the 22d, we went to them again, and drove them
out of their entrenchmeirs at one o clock. The Governor-
General sent for the bth Cavalry, and ordered it to
go ahead four miles, to see if the Seikhs had gone
We had scarcely gone a mile when the blackguards
came down on us again. That was the critical mo•
ment; the fate of India was at stake; it was a regular
case of fight or die, and the former we did in style. At
three o'clock in the afternoon of the 22d the fate of
India was decided, and the most bloody battle ever fought
in this quarter of the world finished. At five o'clock that
evening we went into Ferozepore, and bivouacked that
night. The next morning I went and got my wounds dressed,
and lucky for me I did. The first thing the doctor said
when he saw my arm was, It's lucky for you, my fine
young man, you showed me your arm to-day—had you been
another day without getting it dressed, the chances are that
you would have lost the use of it altogether. Now, take my
advice, and stay quiet for a few days, and have it dresseii
regularly.' I took his advice, and now -my arm is getting
on beautifully. My governor's arm is now quite well. I
don't wont more interest at head-quarters than I have got.
I have got a good name amongst all the people at head-
' quarters, and that's all I require ; and, another thing is, I
have to thank no one but myself. What can I want more
than that, uncle? A good name is a great thing fora young
fellow to begin life with.

THE FIRST FIGHT ABOUT OREGON.—In Hopewell
township, York county, Pa, on the 24th ult. a dispute arose between
Jesse Gilbert, of Maryland, and William Blair,; of Ohio, relative to
the Oregon question. Mr. Blair called Mr. Gilbert a Tory (that is,
being a whole hugger and a repudiator), for which insult Mr. Gilbert.
challenged him to mortal combat. The weapons used were United
States rifles—the distance sixty paces. According to the
arrangement of the seconds, they stood hack to back,
and at the word stepped off thirty paces, wheeled and
fired. Mr. Gilbert's ball passed through the right lapel of 11r.
Blair's coat, when the seconds interfered, compromised the diffi-
culty, and prevented any effusion of blood. This is the first fight in
the Oregon war, and it has terminated without any body being killed
or wounded. Mr. Blair, the individual mentioned in this paragraph,
