EGYPT.

A letter from Alexandria of the 4th, in the
r-- nstitutionne/, says :" I have to announce
You two things altogether new, and one
'quite as extraordinary as the other in Oriental
manners. The first is an application of the
popular suffrage in the administration of
Justice in Egypt ; and the second, a subscription
for the Suez Canal hailed with confidence by the
lurks themselves. The Viceroy, who endeavours
4." Y• every means in his power to introduce civilisa-
'len into his States, is desirous of reforming the
I!7etom of the administration of justice, and, if pos-
-1b1e,,. of rendering it more independent and more
enlightened. The first obstacle he met with in this
lau•
dable design was the position of the cadis or
Zivil judges of the country. They are appointed
3- the Porte, and it is at Constantinople that they
Purchase
their posts. Mohammed Said has reim-
bursed to them the original cost of their places, and
'aB Obtained the right of direct appointment. Not
11,ishIng, however, to take on himself all the re-
ponkibility he intends confiding the selection to
ftele 'People, who will be invited, when occasion of-
j, to give a secret vote, and the person who re-
ot'ves the largest number will be the magistrate.
e greatest difficulty in this new system will be
snake the people comprehend the importance of
the right which is thus accorded them. In the sub--
rription for the canal of the isthmus of Suez, the
inount apportioned to the city of Alexandria was
i 0 Millions of francs, and it was all subscribed f
z' two days. The Viceroy has subscribed in addi-
tion for 30 millions, and also one million for the
l'ucers, and one for the sub-officers and soldiers of
0411 s. arniy—an idea as politic as it is generous. At
ir,,,tro the eagerness was quite as great, or even
realer. The sum attributed to that city is
4,900,000 f., which was immediately subscribed
till°tlg 50 persons. At llbsc Alexandria the number of
Seribers is not less than 250, and includes per-
-42s Of all nations. For Europeans to act so is not
nohishing, but for Turks and Egyptians it is an
,
uittea.rd-of event. It is a proof a new era is com-
mencing in the country."
