AFFAIRS OF EGYPT.—ALEXANDRIA, SEPT. 19,
FIVE o'CLocE, r.m.—The Peninsular and Oriental
Company's steamer Iberia came into port this day with
the Indian mail of the 7th of September, and thirty-five
passengers. Her Majesty's steamer Ardent is lying in
the new port with her steam up ready to start for Trieste
on the arrival of Waghorn's India dispatches, which are
to come down by express from Suez. This is to be the
first of Waghorn's experimental trips by way of Trieste.
Up to this hour no intelligence has been received of the
Bombay steamer. Mehemet Ali has been during the
last ten days living in a villa on the banks of the canal.,
his Highness talks of proceeding to Cairo in a few days.
Ibrahim Pacha is gone to the upper country to look
after his sugar plantations. His Majesty King Louis
Philippe has just sent a magnificent present to his High
ness the Viceroy, consisting of a clock beautifully mountec
in Sevres porcelain. The French state its value to be
2,5001. sterling.
THE POTATO DISEASE.—At the meeting of the Bo-
tonical Society of London, held last evening at the
Society's Booms, 20, Bedford-street, Strand, E. Double-
day, Esq., V.P., in the chair, Dr. Scott communicated a
paper "On the Potato Disease." The author suggested
—First, that a portion of ground be sown with diseased
potatoes exclusively, every sound one being carefully
avoided. Second, that a portion of ground, which has
this year yielded diseased potatoes, be left entirely un
cultivated ; if, however, there appear to be any mixture
of sound potatoes, that there be as far as possible re-
moved. Third, that a portion of ground be sown in the
usual manner with the best potatoes that can be pro-
cured. Fourth, that these sound portions of ground be
kept perfectly distinct, because, if the disease be con-
tagious, it may possibly be communicated from one plot
of ground to another, and thus the experiment be frus-
trated. Fifth, that a few diseased tubers be sown in
pots. Sixth, that the results of the experiment be faith•
fully transmitted to some accredited person or society,
with a minute description of the details, which shall be
published, in order that each individual interested may
form an independent opinion.
SUICIDE or MR. DIETRICHSEN.—Testerday
.fore-
noon an inquest was held before Mr. G. J. Mills, in the
drawing-room of the house, No. 63, Oxford-street, or
view of the body of Mr. Lionel Dietrichsen, aged forty.
the late surviving partner of the firm of Dietrichsen and
Hannay, patent medicine vendors, and general medical
booksellers, who committed suicide under the melan
choly circumstances subjoined. From the evidence ad
duced it appears that the deceased, who was unmarried
had been engaged in a Chancery suit, which was still
pending, and had latterly evinced a lowness of spirits
and eccentricity of manner resulting, as was supposed;
from his too close application to study. On Wednesday
evening last, appearing poorly and desponding, he was
prevailed upon by his sister to retire to bed at the early
hour of six o'clock. About nine his mother went to his
room, when he requested her to fetch him a glass of
beer, for which purpose she left him, but on her return
found the door iastened. She knocked, and called tc
deceased by name, but, receiving no answer, she raise('
an alarm, and on the door being forced open by an as
sistant in the shop, deceased was found lying on till-
floor in a pool of blood, with a frightful gash in
his
throat, nearly severing the head from the body, deati,
from which must have been instantaneous. Deceaseu
was considered to be wealthy, and no cause, beyond the!
of great nervous excitement, can be attributed for hi:
having committed the suicidal act. Verdict--" Tempo-
rary Insanity."
Dr. Phillimore and family have returned to tows
from the baths of Wiesbaden.
