CORFU.

Extract of letter dated Corfu, 20th of September,
851 :

"The Medusa which arrived on Tuesday from the
lonian Islands brought accounts of a most distressing
accident which occurred very lately at Z tote. A. small
house, on the ground floor of which was a shop kept by
a Greek, accidentally caught fire. The major of the
41st Regiment turned out immediately with a party of
his soldiers to aid in extinguishing it. The townspeople
also flocked to the place in great numbers to render
what assistance they could. But before the fire could
be extinguished it had reached the second story, and
all of a sudden a most awful explosion ensued. It
appeara that two barrels of gunpowder had beenim-
prudently concealed in a closet adjoining one of the
rooms in the second story. At the very moment of the
explosion several persons were on the roof of the house,
and the result can easily be imagined. Eleven men
perished at once—and among these a drummer of the
41st Regiment. The major of the same corps we,
severely wounded, and equally so were no less than. 150
of the inhabitants. It is feared that several of the
wounded will lose their lives. We have not been able to
ascertain what became of the owner of the building; he
may have perished under the ruins, but it he can be
laid hold of he will soon be brought to a very severe
account for his folly, carelessness, and for breaking the
law, which justly and strictly forbids any one from keep-
ing in a dwelling within the town at one time more than
three
pounds weight of powder. This sad accident had
naturally thrown a deep gloom over all the residents in
Zante."

EGYPT'
ALEXANDRIA, SarT. 22.—The Hon. East India
Company's steamer Ajd Ist,
arrived at Suez on the
19th inst. with the Bombay mail of the
conveyed to Malta this day by her Majesty's steamer
Merlin. The intermediate Peninsular and Oriental
Company's Steamer Sultan arrived here on the 17th
with 40
Passengers, and will return to Southampton
after the arrival at Suez of the same company's
steamer Precursor, from Calcutta, now hourly ex-
pected. When the Ajdaha left Aden the Precursor
was there, awaiting the arrival of the corresponding
steamer from
Bombay.
The Sublime Porte' and ABBAS PASHA have not
yet come to an understanding with respect to the right
of the former
to impose on Egypt its obnoxious tan-
zimat, and thus qualify the authority of the Viceroy.
KHAIR.FD.DEEN PASHA,
one of the delegates of the
Viceroy
to Constantinople, returned here some days
ago, and there have since been several councils con
vened at Cairo, and the European consuls have also
been called into conference, but nothing has as yet
transpired to alter the determination of ABBAS PASHA
to resist the encroachments of the SULTAN.
A quarantine establishment and a lazaretto are to
be formed at Damietta, with a view of facilitating the
intercourse of that town with Syria.
The new crops of
grain and pulse, which are very
abundant, are coming down from the interior in large
quantities, and the
Government sells a portion by
auction twice weekly. In consequence of these sales
our exchange on London 'has fallen to 99i piastres
per pound sterling.

The Bavarian army, which under the late King,
hardly numbered 40,000, bag been raised to 72,000 men.
