EGYPT.

ALEXANDRIA, July B.—The Peninsular and
Oriental Company's steamer Ava, which arrived
here on the 4th, leaves again to-morrow morning
with the Calcutta mails o the 4th of June ; she
also takes 1,100 packages of cargo, which were left
behind by last mail, owing to the mismanagement
of the ft...Ansa.
The Indus sailed from Alexandria last month on
the 21st, and though the steamer Bentinck had ar-
rived at Suez on the 17th, the former did not sail
until the fourth day after, and still the transit
could not find time to convey the goods across the
cone try.
In anticipation of the increased traffic occasioned
by the re-opening of the communication with Aus-
tralia via Egypt the agent of the Peninsular and
Oriental Company has obtained from the Govern-
ment a reduction to per cent. on the value, for
charge of conveyance of gold from Australia
through Egypt, the usual charge on specie in gold,
or silver being iiper cent.
The liosition birthe Pala of Egypt with regard
to the Sultan has, during the last few weeks, under-
gone a material improvement. Some days after
the arrival here of Redschid Pasha, a Turkish
steamer of war made her appearance, having on
hoard a convoy from the Sultan, who brought to
Said Pasha a sword and a robe of honour, to his
son. a sword and the title of Pasha, and three let-
ters, sealed with the Sultan's own seal, which were
publicly read at the Pasha's Palace at Gabarri, in
the presence of all the Egyptian authorities and a
great muster of troops. These letters place the
Pasha again on a very friendly footing with the
Sultan, and the purport of them was-1, to thank
Said Pasha for the assistance afforded by Egypt
during the late war; 2, to announce to him the
conclusion of the war ; and 3, to accompany the
presents.
Said Pasha seemed much gratified by the ho-
ur ur thus shown him.

Redschid Pasha is spending his time here very
quietly, occupying the splendid palace of Raas-el-
teen, and it would appear that absence from Con-
stantinople is the only reason for his present visit
to Alexandria. He will of course remain for the
splendid fetes, which are to take place on the 16th
inst., and for which preparations in the most mag-
nificent and lavish style are being made.
Her Majesty's surveying ship artarus Tarrived
yesterday from the coast of the Delta, where she
has been surveying, and has gathered information
which proves of importance when placed in con-
nection with the canal scheme of M. de Lesseps for
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 halt from shore, five miles
to the eastward of a place called Gemilen, but the
construction of a breakwater and jetty in such a
position is still regarded as impracticable, and only
to be effected at so enormous a cost that it would
be impossible to estimate it with any approach to
correctness.
The deep water at one mile and a-half from the
shore extends for only three miles ; and towards
Pelusium the depth of water is only five fathoms
at five miles from the shore, and six fathoms at
six miles from the shore. The Tartarus was off
the coast from the 26th of April to the sth of July,
and during the whole of that period of ten weeks,
which is also the calmest season of the year, the
steamer was constantly labouring under a heavy
rolling swell, even in the absence of wind.
In the Lake Menzaleh, where four OD five feet of
water were reported, a depth of only three feet
was found.

General d'Orgoni and the Burmese Commission-
ers to France are just now in Egypt.
Mr. John Cater, one of the London directors of
the Bank of Egypt, arrived here on the 3d inst. by
the French steamer, and 3 esterday the Bank of
Egypt was opened for general business under
favourable auspices. The directors declare they
have reason to be satisfied with the encouragement
they have received.

Lord Brougham still remains at Brougham Hall,
keeping little or no company. His lordship's health.
we are glad to say, appears much improved. W ,
Brougham, Esq. (his lordship's brother), lady, and
family, are also at Brougham Hall.—Westmoreland
Gazette.
