EGYPT.

ALEXANDRIA, July B.—The Peninsular and
Oriental Company's steamer Ava, which arrivod
here on the 4th, leaves again to-morrow morning
with the Calcutta mails of the 4th of June ; sht4e
also takes 1,100 packages of cargo, which were le:ft
behind by last mail, owing to the mismanageme ca
of the transit.
The Indus sailed from Alexandria last month
the 21st, and though the steamer Bentinck had a
ar-
rived at Suez on the 17th, the farmer did not sail
until the fourth day after, and still the trans :A
could not find time to convey the goods across tl 3e
country.
In anticipation of the increased traffic occasion( ni
by the re-opening of the communication with Au .E,-
tralia via Egypt the agent of the Peninsular at td
Oriental Company has obtained from the Gover.:(-
ruent a reduction to per cent. on the value, fi i r
charge of conveyance of gold from Australi a
through Egypt, the usual charge on specie iu gol
or silver being per cent.
The position of the Pasha of Egypt with regal :d
to the Sultan has, during the last few weeks, unde Er-
gone a material improvement. Some days aft E,r
the arrival here of Redschid Pasha, a Turki 311
steamer cf war made her appearance, having 4)n
board a convoy from the Sultan, who brought Lo
Said Pasha a sword and a robe of honour, to I Lis
son a sword and the title of Pasha, and three le
rsi-
ters, sealed with the Sultan's own seal, which we re
publicly read at the Pasha's Palace at Gabarri, in
the presence of all the Egyptian authorities and .
great muster of troops. These letters place the
IPasha again on a very friendly footing with t
Sultan, and the purport of them was-1, to that Llc
Said Pasha for the assistance afforded by Egyi p t
during the late war ; 2, to announce to him tl t e
conclusion of the war ; and 3, to accompany tit e
presents.
Said Pasha seemed much gratified by the h,:
ntur thus shown him.

Redschid Pasha is spending his time here ye] y
quietly, occupying the splendid palace of Raas-eti '-
teen, and it would appear that absence from Cot -
stantinople is the only reason for his present visi t
to Alexandria. He will of course remain for th(
splendid fetes, which are to take place on the 16t1 t
inst., and for which preparations in the most mag -
nificent and lavish style are being made.
Tier M3jasty's surveying ship artarus Tarriv(r 1
yesterday from the coast of the Delta, where sl 3 e
has been surveying, and has gathered informatif
which proves of importance when placed in ce et-
nection with the canal scheme of M. de L.sseps f or
the union of the Mediterranean and Red Seas. It
is true that six fathoms of water were found at a
distance of a mile and a half from shore, five les
to the eastward of a place called Gemilen, but tl ie
construction of a breakwater and jetty in such a
position is still regardcd as impracticable, and or Jy
to be effected at so enormous a cost that it wor 3d
be impossible to estimate it with any approach to
correctness.

The deep water at one mile' and a-half from t
shore extends for only three miles ; and toway *ls
Pelusium the depth of water is only five fathoi is
at five miles from the shore, and six fathoms t
six miles from the shore. The Tartarus was • if

the coast from the 26th of April to the sth of Jul
and during the whole of that period of ten weel C 3,
which is also the calmest season of the year, t Ile
steamer was constantly labouring under a hee
rolling swell, even in the absence of wind.
In the Lake Menzaleh, whore four or five feel ;of
water were reported, a depth of only three f eet
was found.

General d'Orgoni and the Burmese Oommissi, )n-
-era to France are just now in Egypt.
Mr. John Cater, one of the Loudon directors of
the Bank of Egypt, arrived here on the 3d inst. -by
the French steamer, and yesterday the Bank of
Egypt was opened for general business under
favourable auspices. The directors declare tl Rey
have reason to be satisfied with the oncouragem ent
they have received.
