• THE DACHA OF EGYPT.

ALEXANDRIA, SEPT. 26.—Mehemet Ali sailed
hence on the morning of the 17th inst. in the Nile
steamer to join his fleet, accompanied by M. Tossizza,
the Greek Consul. On the 18th Ibrahim Pacha ar-
rived here from Cairo. He - looks older than his
father, although the courtiers pretend that he enjoys
excellent health. Ile takes no part in political affairs,
and speaks only on agricultural subjects. On the 20th
Samy Paella arrived on board the Redscid Egyptian
teamer from Constantinople. Ile joined Mehemet
Ali on board the Admiral's ship. Shortly afterwards
the Viceroy embarked on board the steamer Nile, to
return to Alexandria, under a salute from the entire
fleet. On the 21st he gave audience, surrounded by
his son, Ibrahim Pacha, Osman Pacha of the guard,
and by other superior officers, all in full dress The
ante-chamber was filled with civil, military, and naval
officers. The Ulemas were likewise present. but no
persons of inferior rank were admitted. Mehemet
Ali presented himself at the door of the audience-
chamber, when Samy Paella, dressed in a blue uni-
form, such as is worn at Constantinople, _embroidered
with gold, handed the Pacha the diploma by which
the Sultan appointed him Honorary Grand Vizier,
which the Paella kissed, touched it with his forehead,
and then handed it to his Secretary, Kiamil Bey, who
read it aloud. During this ceremony the Pacha ap-
peared much affected. At the passage—" I send you
by Samy Pacha the Nishen Sadaret decoration of
Grand Vizier," Samy took from a case a splendid deco-
ration set in brilliants, the riband of which, of dark
blue, he placed round the Viceroy's neck. One ex-
pression—" In accord with the Allied Powers, the
Government of Egypt was granted you hereditarily ;
this honour of the Sadaret is personal ;"—was much
noticed. The reading of the diploma having been
concluded. Mehemet Ali withdrew to a corner of the
audience chamber, where he seated himself. At the
same time the guns from all the forts in the town
and the ships in the harbour fired a salute. Ibrahim
Pacha having stooped to kiss his father's hand, Mehe-
met , Ali made him sit down by his side. The offi-
cers of the household in succession presented them-
selves before the new Grand Vizier, knelt down, and
kissed . the. fringe of his divan. After the
themas retired the Scherif Abdallah, son of
• the Scherif of Mecca, who arrived from Con-
stantinople in the Redschid- steamer, advanced to
pay his honage to the Pacha. The ceremony having
been concluded, the battalion of the guard, which
was drawn up in the oourt-yard, together with their
regimental band of music, withdrew. On this occa-
sion all the Consuls, with the exception of those of
Austria and Russia, hoisted their flags. The latter
plead etiquette, and say that they should have been
• informed of the ceremony by a circular. Mehemet
Ali continues to wear his decoration, which gives him
the title of Highness, and places him, in point of rank,
second to the Sultan. On the 23d, sailed from Alex-
andria for Marseilles the Nile steamer, with horses,
shawls, and Mocha coffee, as a present to the King of
the French. Artin Bey, the Pacha's interpreter,
accompanies them. The Pacha proposes to set out
for Cairo to pass the month of Ramazan, but before
his departure he intends to dispatch Samy Pacha
again to Constantinople, probably to obtain permission
for the Viceroy to proceed in person to thank his
Sovereign. Other reports say that the Pacha would
prefer the actual appointment of Grand Vizier to the
honorary title. It is said that the Sultan's mother,
the Sultana \Talkie, wishes to pass through Egypt on
a pilgrimage to Mecca.

know Wm. Ellis since he was a boy. He liv€d near
me. I remember the night of the fire, the 15th of
August. 1 went down to Mr. Aitkens'. I saw Ellis
inside the railings in the front garden. I saw that
his face, was blackened. I can positively speak to his
person. I did not observe him doing anything at the
time. The house was then on fire, and the work ap-
peared to be altogether done. I saw Ellis the same
morning heading a body of the people. He was call-
ing forwards, and a great number walking afterwards
with walking-sticks. I did not observe that Ellis
had anything in his hand. I did nut see him after
that time.

YERAL--Remembers the fires in question at Hanley.
I was at the Crown Bank at the meeting on the morn-
ing of the 16th of August. I saw Ellis there. His
eyes and ears appeared as if they had been dirty, and
he looked like a man that had been up all night. The
collar of his shirt was also dirty, and his finger-nails
likewise exhibited the marks of dirt. This witness
also deposed to the expressions previously stated by
other witnesses to have been used by Ellis. He after-
wards saw the crowd go to Burslem and break win-
dows. Heard Ellis, at the second meeting referred to
say, " They have murdered our best men at Burslem,
but we will have blood for blood." I saw a large
number of persons at this last meeting with bludgeons
in their hands. The meeting consisted of about .5,000
persons. The soldiers arrived at Hanley in the even-
ling, and dispersed the meeting. I left on the arrival
of the soldiers.
Cross-examined by Air. NEALE, but nothing mate-
rial was elicited.
Henry Mitchell and George Gibbs also spoke as to
Ellis running with the crowd.

The evidence against the prisoners went to show
that they were all present on the occasion of Mr.
Salter's miners being prevented from going to their
work on the day in question; and the Jury returned
a verdict of Guilty against all of them.
(Before Air. Baron RoLFE.)
Samuel Crutchley was indicted for assaulting awl
cutting and stabbing James Hope, a police constable,
at Stoke-upon-Trent, on the 16th of AuFust.
James Hope e xam in ed by Mr. Sergeant CALFOURD--
. I am a policeman of Stoke-upon-Trent. Was on the
I.sth of August at a place called Harts-hill. I knew
there had previously been attacks upon Messrs. Rose's
and Allen's. The prisoner was coming from Mr.
Rose's house. I seized Crutchley by the collar, and
said he should go along with me. He refused. He
put his hand into his pocket and pulled out a small
clasp knife, which was open, and made a cut at me
across the left hand. He gave me three cuts in all. I
have never. made use of my hand since, and I fear I.
never shall again. I was obliged to let him go. Re
then said, " ll— you, now rn murder you.' He
made several stabs at me, and cut my jacket through
in two places. I took from his person a table-cloth, a.
piece of bacon, and a handkerchief. The prisoner
gut away.
John Tittenshall—l was with Hope when he took
the prisoner Crutchley into custody. I was aware
that there had been attacks made previously upon
Mr. Rose's and Mr. Allen's houses. We thought
they had got some of the plate from Mr. Rose's in the
bundles. 1 seized Boom. 1 should not have let either
of them go if Crutchley had not used his knife.
James Adams—l was housekeeper to Mr. Allen, of
Fenton, in August last. I lost thirty sovereigns of
my own and a handkerchief.—(The handkerchief
taken from Crutchley was here banded to the wit-
ness, and identified by her.) The mob broke into the
house and carried oft' a great deal of property, and this.
handkerchief was at the time in the house.

Mr. Baron BoLrE having summed up, the Jexy
found the prisoner Guilty.
The Learned JUDGE, after commenting upon the
enormity of the offence, sentenced • the primiuer to
transportation for life.
Henry Standerens, Charles Wright, aua William
llandenek, were indicted fur a riot at Stoke-upon-
Trent, on the Hith of August.
Henry Johnson Ford—l acted Rs a special con-
stable during the riots, and was out all night on the
111th of August. When I got to the toll-gate I saw
a body of men coming to;vards mc. They were
making a very great noise, and beating the turnpike-
gate with bludgeons, •Standevens pressed me close
against the railirgs, and called out to the others,
" Now, lads." 1 saw him put his hand in his bosons
and pull out, something like a pistol, and swore he
would tale my life away because 1 was a ringleader-
The others all surrounded me, and raised thei./.•
bludgeons as if to strike, and I struck at them, fougl.t
in way out, and ran away. lam quite certain about
Standevens ;Lbe appeared to be the leader of the m.ab.
Jonathan Large—Was acting as special constable
on the night of the 16th August. When we got co
the turnpike it was about eleven o'clock. I was not
alarmed, although the others were. The mob were
making a great noise. I volunteered to go Sown
ti 'Ford's
with Ford to the gate. They stood opposite
uncle's house. I heard Standevens say to 'she others
" halt." They had hedge-stakes in their hands.
Standevens said, " We will kill all the special con-
stables in Stoke." He lifted his cudgel to Ford, the
last witness, and said, " Now, for your life, or I will
kill you!" Ford then ran off; and Standevens
shoved me. off the road. I followed the mob. The
other constables then came up, and all three prisoners
were taken. lam sure the three prisoners were of
the party. Standevens and Handcock were very-
fresh in drink.
