EGYPT AND PALESTINE.

ALEXANDRIA., JAN

Said Pasha, the Viceroy, has come down to
klexandria front Cairo, and is contemplating an-
other visit to the ex remity of the Lake Mareotis,
where his Highness intends to erect a palace and
make gardens, which, as in all cases in Egypt, Will
be entirely neglected by his successor when his
time comes. •

Owing to the scanty rise of the Nile this year, a
large tract of land which has not been watered will
be exempt from paying taxes, and to cover this
deficiency in his revenue the Viceroy will curtail
the salaries of the Government officials..

The engineers sent out to survey the Isthmus of
Saez have returned to Alexandria, and generally
report fiivourably on the practicability of the canal
to join the Mediterranean and Red Sea. The
Pasha is highly pleased that his favourite project
should be countenanced by the engineers, and their
report is to be sent to Constantinople, to obtain,
if possible, the adhesion of the Sublime Porte to
the scheme. 'Most of the engineers return to Eu-
rope to-day by the Austrian steamer.

Lord Canning, the new Governor-General of
India, is still in Upper Egypt, and the Feroze,
which is to convey his Lordship to Bombay, is ev--
pected to arrive at Suez in a few days.
The railway between Cairo and Alexandria is
now open to general traffic, and passengers come
down in seven hours, the only break on the line
being on the Rosetta branch of the Nile, where the
ferry is not yet . completed

LAters from Jerusalem state that at present the
European Consuls in that city hoist their flags
regularly on Sundays and all feast days—a cere-
mony which has hitherto been jealously prohibited
by the Turkish officials throughout the Ottoman
empire, excepting at the seaport towns. It was
first done on the occasion of the capture of Sebas-
topol, when the English, French, Spanish, and
Austrian Consols displayed their flags, and the
Prussian Consul has since done the same.

It is now becoming a regular thing for travellers
to visit the interior of the Great Mosque, on the site
of the Temple. The Pasha of Jerusalem went so far
as to offer to the Jews to enter the mosque in order
to pray for rain, but they refused, for two reasons
—first, because they were all ceremonially unclean ;
secondly, bectuso they might have- put under their
feet the words of the law, which they believe to be
buried under this mosque. The Jews, however,
went to the tomb of Daniel to pray for rain, which
came. next day, but unfortunately soon ceased.
RAM is very much wanted throughout Syria, and
the inhabitants are enduring great sufferings, as
prices of all provisions are very high.
The Austrian Consul at Jerusalem has received

from his Government a very large sum for the
erection within the walls of the town of consular
bnilding,s, an hospice, and a palace for the Arch-
bishop of Vienna. The Latin Patriarch is building
a palace for himstlf and a college at Beit Sala,
near Bethlehem. _

The Greeks are in possession of about two-thirds
of the land within the walls of Jerusalem, gene-
rally supposed to have been bought with Russian
money.

SHOCKING AFFAIR.—NORWICH, Jan. 12.—Mr. Edwin
W. (I,rshie, a young man respectably connected and a
clerk in the office of Messrs. Winter and Son, solicitors,
of this city, met his death yesterday morning under very
painful circumstances. The deceased entered the office of
his employers at about half-past nine o'clock, and his
brother, Mr. Samuel Webster Corebie, asked him how
he was, as be had been suffering from erysipelas. He
replied that he was better, and went to the Sre to warm
his hands. The elder brother went on writing, and
almost immediately afterwards was alarmed by the re-
pert of a pistol. Turning round, he saw that the young
man had fallen down, and that he was horribly muti-
lated about the moult Mr. J. G. Johnson, Mayor of
the city, was sent for,. and carne as soon as possible, but
he was unable to render any surgical assistance to the
unfortunate young man, who had died immediately. Mr.
Wilde, coroner for Norwich, held an inquest on the body
of the deceased in the course of the morning, and it ap-
peared from the evidence that on Sunday evening be
borrowed a pistol from a young man named Jarvis,
with whom he was on friendly terms, and that a day or
two since he told him that he had got some powder for
it. A lad employed by Messrs. Winter as errand, boy
stated that on Thursday the deceased showed him the
pistol, loaded nearly to the muzzle, and, putting it to
his month, said that would be the way to blow his brains
out. As it appeared, however, that the deceased bad
not exhibited any unusal depression of spirits, except in
reference to the erysipelas from which he had been suf-
fering, the jury returned a verdict to the effect that he
shot himself, but whether designedly or accidentally
there was no evidence to show. The dreadful occur-
rence has produced a considerable sensation in the city.,
