EGYPT.

ALEXANDRIA, JUNE 20.

The transit through E2ypt is assuming vast im-
portance, which will be still further increased when
the communication with Australia is re-opened, so
that some steps should be taken to improve its pre-
sent condition. The value of India and China car-
goes, including specie, that passed through Egypt
by the two mails of May was 1,557,1491., and the
freight on this large amount of revenue into the
coffers of the Viceroy. Not later than 1851 it was
considered a remarkable fact that during the pre
ceding 18 months 2,500,0001. worth of British pro.
pert) had passed through Egypt.
The Peninsular and Oriental Company show
every disposition to lose as little time as possible
iu Egypt, and the steamer Pera, which arrived
here on ie 3d, and left again on her return voyage
on the following day, landed in that short space of
time 2,130 packages of specie, 568 packages of
cargo for India, 150 tons of cargo for Alexandria,
261 packages of mails and 290 packages of baggage,
and shipped at the same time 2,483 bales and cases
of China silks, 882 bales of Bengal silks, 117 pack-
ages of local cargo, 425 packages of baggage, 65
packages of mails, and 200 tons of coals.

Yesterday the ex-Grand Vizier, RedsChid Pasha,
arrived here from Constantinople in the Egyptian
steam-yacht Faid Giliaad, which was sent for the
purpor3o. Said Pasha treats his guest with the
greatest possible consideration, and went on board
the steamer to meet him. Redschid Pasha is
come here nominally to be present at the great
fetes which the Viceroy is about to give in com-
memoration of his acce-sion to the Government
of Egypt, but there is no doubt that his visit is
connected with the state of affairs in the country,
li and it is to be hoped that some good will result
from it. It is said that the principal points to be
mooted with Said Pasha will be the exaggerated
number of his army, his subversion of all adminis-
trations and concentration of all power and rule
within himself, and his constant hostility towards
the Bedouins. Kiamil Pasha, brother-in-law to
Said Pasha, and Minister of Commerce at Constan-
tinople, has also come to Egypt with Redschid
Pasha.
I Great numbers of Arabs from the coast of Bar-
bary have been recently pouring into Egypt, fleeing
their cnintry, where famine and misery prevail to
an extraordinary extent. Ten of these poor people,
who were shut up in the lazzaretto on account of
some disease, died of actual starvation, and Said
Pasha, on hearing of it, was highly indignant and
removed the head of the Sanitary Department
from hi 4 post and severely reprimanded the go-
vernor of the town for allowing such a thing to
happen.
The Viceroy has recently granted a groat boon
to the town by abolishing the octroi duties which
were levied on all articles of consumption brought
inside the walls.

General Sir James Outram, who arrived here by,
the last mail from India, was detained in Alex-
andria by ill-health for a fortnight, and proceeds
to Trieste this day by the Austrian steamer ; he is
still in a very weak state.
Trades continues very dull, there being no pro-
duce for shipment. The several screw steamers
that call at this port are glad to get Eths of a penny
per lb. for cotton, and 2s. 6d. per quarter for
grain, while the sailing vessels, of which there are
48 in the harbour, can scarcely get anything at all.
Our exchanges have again risen, and are now at
100 piastres per pound sterling.
