. Bushire, sa lint we may hear of an they expedi-,
tion to Borasjeen before lore:. Our in n worn in
capital health and ir.t4, but forage and provisions
continued scares and dear.
The pi oposal to su'osti tut e a High Court of Jus'ice
in the presidencies, in s nbsti intim of the pr,se et Sud-
dur and Supreme Comes, is received with extreme
distrust throughout the country. The p-oposAl is
that five judges shall be appointed, two by the Queen
and three by the Governor in Council, from the civil
service, and that they shall be removable by the
local Government pending a reference to the Crown.
The second provision is simply a consequence of the
former, for if we are to place unqualified men upon
the bench we, must entrust Vie Governor with the
very objectionable power of suspending them.
Extensive changes are announced in diplomatic
departments of the service. S.r James Outrun is
gazetted to the charge of the Rajpootana States,
although the genoral belief is that he will under no
circumstances take up the appointment. Major
Cuthbert Dav:dson is appointted to the residency at
Hyderabad, the court of his Highness the Nizam.
Colonel Sir R. C. Shake pear is to be resident at
Baroda. and Colonel Sir H. M. Lawrence is
gazetted as chief commissioner in Oude.
A melancholy occurrence has take,' place on the
Bengal side, in the murder of Mr. Boileau, deputy
commissioner of Gonda, by the notorious Fuzl Aloe,
the Oude robber. The aconunts of the affair differ
considerably, but it seems certain that nr. Boileau
fell a victim to his ownunheeding gallantry.
Sir Robert Hamilton arrived here on Saturday.
He leaves this for England by the steamer to-day.
We understand that the new five per cent. loan is
fast being paid up, both here and in Calcutta. The
amount received into the treasuries up to this time
cannot be less than a crore of rupees. As we anti-
cipated some time ago, the whole amount required
by Government, tbree crores, will be supplied before
-two more months are over.
A seriousattempt was made on Saturday afternoon
against the lives of six officers of the sth Regiment
N. 1., includ'ng Captain Symons and Scott, Lieut.
Brown, Dr. Trestrail, and two others. Some poison
was mixed with the soup prepared for and intended
to be taken by them, and it was not -until- one of
them vomited and the others felt severe pain from
the effects of what they had taken that the treachery
became apparent. Several persons have been taken
up on suspicion, and the soup has been sent for
'medical examination. All the officers are doing well.
The senior magistrate of police was engaged yes-
terday in taking the depositions against the Goanese
mess-cooks suspected of having mixed so me poisonous
.substance in the substance prepared by them. . The
case has been remanded, and the prisoners have
been admitted to bail on their own recognisances.
The following letter is from the correspondent of
the Bombay Times
BIISHIRB, March 4. We have news here of the arrival
at Mahamrah of 10,000 Persians and the expected arri-
val of 18,000 more with seventeen guns to reinforce the
garrison already there. On our part we are shipping
but slowly. Boats are not readily procured; and the
roughness of the sea during the last fortnight has nearly
cut off all communication with the shipping, the nearest
of which lies about three or four miles out. This, how-
ever, hai been a calm day, and the 3d troop has been
got on board, and the 78th, 64th, 20th, and 26th are
warned to prepare for embarkation. Enfield rifle prac-
tice was had the other evening ; the men being first re-
quired to cast the bullets and make up cartridges in the
arsenal, owing to a scarcity of ammunition for that arm.
The 78th have been daily ex,Tcising at escalading duties.
Throe of the field hospitals are under construction. This
does not look 1 ke giving up Bushire, as was reported
here on the receipt of the mail 21st January from Eng-
land, via Bagdad, the other day.

EGYPT.

ALEXANDRIA, APRIL 19.

The Colombo and Vectis arrived yesterday with
the outward Indian mails, and will sail again with
the homeward portion of the mails to-day at noon.
His Highness the Pacha, since I last wrote, has
loft for Maricot (a favourite resort of his), where
the report says, he is gone to be out of the way of
the consuls, who are demanding redress for their
subjects—some on account of the Egyptian govern-
ment not having fulfilled the engagements entered
into with some of the bankers and merchants ;
others, again, for interfering in the internal affairs
of the Paella's government, such as not allowing
him to have his own ,choice in the government ap-
pointments. The worthy American representative
in this country has applied for a privilege to estab-
lish a towing company in the internal canals of
Egypt, which will interferse with the privileges
a'ready granted to the Egyptian Towing
Company. This company has nor yet commenced
operations, although the privilege has been granted
ever since Said Paeha came into power. AnEnglish
firtu applied some time ago for permission to form
a company 'without asking for any exclusive privi-
leges, which the Pacha was graciously pleased to
promise verballyat a public audience, and also con-
firmed his promise to her Britanic Majesty's agent
and consul-general in this country, adding that he
would himself become a shareholder in this new en-
terprise, as he felt persuaded that it would greatly
benefit Egypt ; bat whether it was in consequence
of intrigues, or that our consul-general changed his
mind, his ighness the Viceroy was allowed to
withdraw his promise, much to the detriment of
the interested parties, whose affair has since been
left in abeyance, awaiting Lord Clarendon's deci-
sion. As I understand, it was referred to her Ma-
jesty's Government to know whether British sub-
jects cannot exercise their rights in this country,
and whether monopolies, which are in direct oppO-
sit;on with the treaties, can have effect. We are
however, persuaded of one thing, and such is the
general feeling, that what the American consul has
undertaken will be carried out, as it is not the first
titre that he has accomplished what other consuls
could not.

There is no nt-..sws yet of the Oneida. I dare say
we shall hear something positive about her per
European, expected at Suez on the 23d inst.
Our mark-t still continues in a depressed state.
Cotton is exceedingly dull, and holders are unaVe
to realise, but at reduced prices are now beginning
to ship it to the European markets. The price of
the fine qualities, though a little cheaper, has not
given way much. The only sales We have to note
are some parcels of Pacha's quality, averaging from
BAd. to 9d. per Jb., f.o.b.

Flax continues very scarce, and is selling at im-
proved rates.

- In cereals we have not any change to note, ex-
cept that the late purchases have been made at a
trifle higher rates, owing to its great scarcity.
The exiAing demand is merely for home consnuip-
lion, as the present prices will not admit of aoy
shipments being made to England. Indian corn is
the only article now shipped in small quantities,
chiefly per steamer to Liverpool. Small parcels of
the new crop of beans have already reached the
Ciro market ; but, as yet, none have ems so far
down as. this. Our nominal market rates are a
follows, viz. :-Wheat-I3uhi, 41s. to 425. 9d. per
qr. £o. b, ; Saidi Pacha's, 383. ti 41s. Gd. ; ditto
private, 38s. 9,1. to 40s. 3d. ; Behera Pacha's, 375.
3d. to 395. ; ditto private 363. 3 to 375. Beans
-S.tidi .Pacha's, 28s. 3d. to 295. 9d. ; ditto pri-
vate, 2175. 6d. to 28s. 6d. Baxley, 21s. to 225. In-
dian corn, 23e. Gd. to 255. Linseed, 58s. to 60s.
per qr. to.b.
Freights are much the same, with few unem-
ployed vessels in port. For steamers we are get-
ting 2s. 3d. to 2s. 6d. per qr. for grain, and id.
per lb. for cotton. wiling vessels can with diffi-
culty get cargoes at ls. Bd. per qr. for grain, and
id. to 3-16d..per lb. for cotton ; and we fear that
there will not be any change in freights until we
begin receiving., supplies of the new crop of grain,
August and September.
Exehange on London continuos in favour of the
drawers; three months' bills are worth from 102
to 103 ps. Egyptian per £ sterling.-Daily News'
