EGYPT.

ALEXANDRIA, MAY 22.
The India and China mails arrived at Suez by
the Peninsular and Oriental Company's steamers
Ganges and Bengal, from Bombay and Calcutta
respectively, on the 17th and 20th inst., and the
outward mails, which reached Alexandria on Tues-
day, will probably leave Suez this day.
The fast mouth of Ramadan is now approaching
its end, and the Viceroy, who has passed the greater
portion of it at his favourite place of residence at
Mat iout, has for some days been at Alexandria. He
was to embark this morning by the Feiz-Jehad
steam frigate for a short cruise, but his absence will
necessarily be a short one, the customary official
receptions during the Bairam holydays being al-
ready announced. His Highness, it is expected,
will afterwards proceed to Cairo, and it is repprNd
that he contemplates shortly visiting the Oasis of
Siwah. It might appear improbable that he [should
undertake a long and laborious journy:rafthis sea-
son of the year, but Said Pasha seems bent upon
inspecting all parts of,his dominions himself, and
his character for indifference to personal hardship
and fatigue is now so well established that it will
excite very little senprise if the report be confirmed.
For the last few days his Highness has resided at
a countryhouse, which he has just purchased in the
neighbourhood of Alexandria, and Which has cost
him 35,0001. To those who only know Egypt as it
was the price will no doubt appear very large, but
the advance in the value of property has of late
years been so great and unceasing that it almost
seems as if destined to form a permanent subject
for wondering comment, even among the moat far-
seeing of the inhabitants. It may, indeed, be
doubted whether any other "old," country could
cite so extraordinary an increase in the value of
property as that which has been witnessed here
during the last 12 0r1.5 years. As an instance, I
may mention the case of a small property in the
.
vicinity:of Alexandria, which a few years ago was
valued atifrom 1,5001. to 2,0001., and which has
just realised 23,000/.—a price equal to little less
than 1,0001. an acre. As illustrating the increase
in the value of property within the town, I may
add that house rent has in many cases been trebled
within the last five years.

The Viceroy's son Toussoun Pasha, a fine little
boy of about six years of age, goes to Marseilles
by the next French steamer for temporary change
of climate. He will be accompanied by Achmed
Menikli Pasha, the General who commanded the
Egyptian Contingent in the late Russian war ;
by a physician, and by his English nurse. The
little Prince will make some stay at Marseilles,
where he will be the guest of M. Pastre, one of the
leading merchants of Alexandria, and it is said that
his journey will probably be extended to England.
Her Majesty's ship Tartarus has sailed for
Rhodes, for the purpose of taking a series of deep
water soundings on the line between Alexandria
and that island.

Transactions in our grain-market are almost en-
tirely limited to the sale of contracts for future
delivery. Of these, for the delivery of Saide wheat
in September and October, 182,000 quarters are
estimated to have changed hands, and the price is
at the present moment equivalent to about 375. 6d.
per quarter free on board. Some trifling quantities
of beans and barley have commenced arriving, but
they are bought up chiefly for home consumption.
The cotton-market was rather quiet during the
earlier part of the fortnight, but the reseipt of the
last intelligence from Liverpool has given it a fresh
impulse, and prices are again firm.
Exchange on London at three months' date, 102 i
piasters per pound ; Marseilles, 4f. 96c. to 4f. 97c.
per dollar.

telegraphic despatch mentions the stranding, on
Salvo reef, of Faroe Island, off the steamer Imperatrice,
Captain Adams, while on her voyage from Cronetadt to
London. The crew were saved, and arrangements were
n progress with a view to save the ship and cargo. The
latter consisted principally of wheat and tallow.

Glasses, to know the distances. These telescopes posse,s
such extraordinary power that some, three and a-half inches,
with an extra eye-piece will show distinctly Jupiter's moons,
Saturn's ring, and the double stars; with the same t-lescope

—and they do not require the frequent change, to the
dangerous effects of further powerful assistance. Persons
can be suited at the most remote part of the world by send-

stating the distance from the eye they can read small print
with it, and those who have not made use of spectacles by
stating their age. Deafness.—New Discovery.—Tne Or-

invented instrument for deafness, entirely different from all
others, surpasses anything of the kind that lsas been, or pro-

the skin, is not perceptible. It enables deaf persons to hear
distinctly at church and at public assemblies; the unpleasant
sensation of singing noises in the ears is entirely removed,
and it affords all the assistance that possibly could be desired.
