EGYPT. •
ALEXANDRIA, AUG. 6.
The Caleutta mail of the 3d of July arrived at
Suez on the 4th of June inst., and proceeds to
England this day by the Peninsular and Oriental
Company's steamer Indus. Among the passengers
by the ludus is the mother of the ex-King cf Oude,
who is on her way to London, with the object of
obtaining from the British Government some fur-
ther concessions for her son. She is accompanied
by a yoUnger son and a suite of 97 persons of all
grades, whose passage-money alone from Calcutta
to Southampton amounts to 8,0001. The Queen-
Mother never shows herself in public. She has
lived 'very quietly during her stay of a fortnight
in Egypt, occupying a palace placed at her disposal
by the Pasha, and Alen on board the steamer does
not move from her cabin.
In the month of May Said Pasha conceded to
some European merchants certain exclusive privi-
leges to establish a steamtug company on the Nile
and canal, with boats and steamers under the
Turkish flag. As the tendency of the privileges
granted this company is to secure to them a mono-
poly of the carrying trade in Egypt, several at-
tempts have been made to counteract it, and the
question has been raised as to whether Europeans
possess the right or not to navigate the Nile in
steamers under their own flags, and whether the
Pasha, as a vassal of the Sultan, has the power to
confer exclusive privileges for such a purpose on
any company.

Our COnsuiGeneral, in reply to an a7plication
from a British subject to bring steamtugs to ply on
i he Nile, has given his opinion that steamers under
foreign flags have not the right to navigate the
Nile ; but somo of the other Consuls declare that,
according to their interpretation of the treaties,
the navigation of the Nile is perfectly free to all
Europeans, and the Prussian Consul-General, in
particular, is determined to protect a Prussian
subject who has already bought a small steamer
and made one trip in her, under the protection of
the Prussian flaff, from Cairo to Alexandria, but
has since been stopped by the express orders of the
Pasha.

The question is now to be brought before the•
proper authorities in Constantinople and in Europe,
and the issue will be of great importance to this
country.
The great annual fair of Tantab, in the Delta,
has just been brought to a close, and was attended
by a prodigious number of persons from all parts of
the East, and the great sales effected and the large
amount of money which changed hands there tend
to show that the natives are in a flourishing condi-
tion, and that they have confidence in the present
Viceroy's government.
speakinglu the Suez Canal scheme Said
pasha expressed b
lately o
himself in such a manner as to
show that his eagerness for the undertaking has
undergone
The
electric m u c
telegraphh abatem
abatement.
Alexandria and.
Suez is now in full play, but the works on the rail-
way between Suez and Cairo are not proceeding
with the vigour that was promised.
The Nile having risen considerably,, the steam-
ferry on the Itaciet% branch in connection with the
railway can now be used, and this has hitherto
been the only break in the line between Alexandria
and Cairo, which may now be considered complete.
The Pasha contemplates the construction of a bridge
to supersede the ferry, which would be a greed ad-
vantage.
Large supplies of produce are coming down from
the interior for shipment; but, as prices have been
pushed up extravagantly high by speculators,
holders prefer disposing of their stocks in the place,
rather than to ship. Freights are therefore dull,
quoted at ss. Gd. to Cs. per quarter.

opium had been exceedingly dull at a nominal quotation of 412 dols. per chest. Tonnage was plentiful, and though
the rate quoted was 31. for Gambier and sage, flour ships
that had been some time on the berth would have been
glad to fill up at tOs., nelow that 'figure. Exchange re•
