EGYPT.

ALEXANDRIA, JuNr. 26.—Couriers have been despatched
to all the provinces, ordering the new wheat to be brought
down without delay, but there is so little water in the canal that
for another moulh we cannot expect any arrivals of importance.
The l'acha is natu: ally anxious to avail himself of the report( d
demand for England to obtain high prices, and endeavours to
induce offers now, While he reserves his decision until the
wheat shall have arrived here. He is about to dispatch a
frigate he has in the Red Sea (built some time since in Bombay)
Isla] a cargo of wheat Iv the Mauritius, under the superintend-
ence of an English merchant here, who sails with the vessel,
entrusted with the charge of opening markets in the Eattern
soas for Egyptian produce.
During the past week a case of ridiculous exaction and com-
promise, unaided also by the British Consulate has occurred.
The wife of a Maltese resident last week died of plague—
her son • was clerk in the counting-house of an English
merchant, at which, by the by, he had not attended
since the nature of his mother's illness was known—
and her house consequently shut up by the Board of Health,
who nevertheless insisted upon the young man's employer per-
forming quarantine ; his courting-house was forcibly shut up
for two days, but fortunately being at some distance from hie
residence, he retained his liberty, and was eventually able to
get possession of his counting-house, by allowing the Board of
Health to perform the farce of depurgating it with chloride
of lime.

Englishmen here generally suppose themselves, owing to
their exemption from Egyptian laws, to he subject only to that
of England, which has until lately been administered by the
Consul in cases of complaint against British subjects by
a modification of the form of trial by jury, the Consul
calling the assistance of two or four assessors, and the ac-
cusedbeing confronted with his accuser, and allowed the
privilege of cross-examining the witnesses against him ;
but by a newly-adopted system these formalities are dis-
pensed with, arid in several instances before the public the
proceedings have: been the following:—The written com-
plaint of the accuser is forwarded to the accused, and he is
called upon to reply in writing. In the meantime the written
deposition upon oath of the accuser, and any witnesses he may
have arc taken by the Consulate, unknown to the accused, arid
so far from affording him the opportunity of cross-examination,
the depositions against him are withheld from him. Upon
these documents, viz., the accusation and reply, and the is rit•
ten depositions, the Consulate, on their Own responsibility,
give and enforce a sentence. If a Frenchman misconduct;
himself, he has, at all events, the satisfaction of knowing that
his Consulate hold a code according to which they must assign
a punishment, if the offence be proved, and it is to he rTretted
that some such cede is not given to the British Consulate, who
have the great advantage over a Justice of the Peace in England,
that they are here amenable to no higher authority. An action
at law w ill lie in England against a Justice of the Peace who ex-
ceeds the limits of his authority, but to proceed legally against
a Levant Consul, the party aggrieved must wait till the
Consul's return to England, and even then the expense of such
a proceeding must preclude the hope of redress to many parties
arbitrarily or unjustly condemned. It was only yesterday that
a Maltese, against whom proceedings were in progress, and
who was advised by his lawyer to protest against the ours] pro-
ceedings were taking, with a view to ulterior appeal, was ar-
rested by die Consul for presenting his protest, his watch and
money taken from hint by the Consulate Janissary,'and his per-
son confined for !wady an hour, when, upon further eonsidera-
don, he was released ! A Magistrate in England has undoubt-
edly the power to arrest any person in the same clay, but he
renders himself liable diet eby to an action for false impoison-
meta. I reserve for a future letter a note I have taken of se-
veral very discrepant sentences given by the Consulate latterly,
which have excited much attention in our little society.
No tidings yet of the India.

THE COLLIERS' STRIKE.
BIRMINGHAM, SATURDAY EVENING.—The colliers having
again assembled in large bodies yesterday evening, the military
were ordered to patrol the district, marching through New-
castle, Stoke, Lane End, and other places ; and the Magis-
trates issued notices, which„were extensively distribUted, salting
upon the colliers to refrain from assembling in bodies, or com-
pelling others to leave the pits, as in case of their continuing
such practices it was the firm determination of the authorities
to make use of the force placed at their disposal for suppressing
any disturbance which might.be attempted.
buring the early part of this morning bodies of Men began
to assemble in the neighbourhood of Newcastle and Longton,
lining the road tor a considerable distance. A large proportion
of them consisted of idle and mischievous vagabonds, wh i had
no concern with the turn-out, beyond the disposition to avail
themselves of the differences between the masters arid work-
men, for the purpose of creating a disturbance. These fellows
entered the shops at the outskirts of the town, and demanded,
or rather helped themselves to bread, bacon. &c. ; and on the
read several market people were stopped in their carts, and
ransacked of provisions. A ease of this kind ooeurred near
Lane End at 10 o'clock this morning. These outrages, how-
ever, were speedily put a stop to, on information being con-
veyed to the Magistrates of the proceedings of the mob, and
many of the ringleaders have been taken into custody.
While the soldiers, headed by the Magistrates, were leaving
Newcastle last night, some stones were thrown at the cavalry,
which at one time threatened very serious consequences ; and
were it not for the timely interference and remonstrance of
iv
Captain Powys, who uldressed the people assembled, and

SuNDAY AFTERNOON.—It is stated that the colliers are to
return to work at Mr. Sparrow's to-morrow morning, where
the turn-out first took place, and as the
miners at, the other
works had joined the strike through the personal influence arid
threats of Mr. Sparrow's men,

tors, bnt he was happy to say that in consequence of
&fir deterna:n dim) to pursue the principle of legitimate
banking, without looking to extreme profits, their trans-
actions had been most successful.l Great caution had been
exercised by the Directors in all their transactions., but
there were two circumstances connected with those
transactions to which he wished to call the atten•
Lion of the: Proprietors. The Directors had lent a
sum of 10,000/. to a customer on the deposit of Exche-
quer-bills. Before that loan was made the Directors
hal taken every precaution to ascertain the genuineness
of the bills • they had applied at the Exchequer-office,
and they had been assured by the officials there that
they were•good. It had, however, since turned out that
wane of them were spurious ; those bills, however, werd
under the course of investigation, and he was in hopes
that such w:18 the bona fide nature of the transaction on
the part of the Bank, that they would be no losers.—
( I fear, hear.) Another circumstance to which he
wished to call their attention was the supposbd claim
of an individual to a considerable amount. He was
happy to say that with -respect to that claim a
compromise had been made, which he hoped would
be satisfactory to the Proprietors. He was happy
to say that the dividend which the Directors proposed to
make was five per cent., which he hoped the Proprietors,
considering the depression of trade, would think pru-
dent and ample.—(Hear, hear.)
The Report of the proceedings of the last year
was then read, from which it appeared that,
after paying all expenses, them, was a surplus of
7,203/. for the payment of the dividends and
other expenses ; that the payment of the dividends
would consume upwards of 4,0001., and that a sum of
2,392/. would be left available for the rebate on the
current bills, and to add to the guarantee fund. The
Report also stated that the branch in Henrietta-street
was going on most satisfactorily,
A PROPRIETOR, in moving the adoption of the Report,
observed that he looked upon it as most satisfactory, as
showing that the greatest, care had been taken in the
management of the Bank.—(Hear.)
The motion having been seconded, was declared by
the Chairman to be carried unanimously.
A PROPRIETOR moved the thanks of the Shareholders
to the Chairman, Deputy Chairman, and the Directors,
and that a sum of 1,0001. should be placed at their

Mrs. Fox's charming residence, at which sbe breathed
her last, was situated, as is woll known, not far from
Egham, or about a mile westward of Chertsey, to which
as you make approach it starts up abruptly, being known
by the name of St. Anne's Hill. The gardens and iplea-
sure-grounds are laid out in such a style as evince the
high and correct taste of the great statesman's widow.
The lower parts of it are clothed in wood, but the ridge
is almost level after it gets above the enclosures, pre-
senting a delightfully verdant walk to the neighbourhood,
and terminating in two venerable elms, where the de-
scent is almost perpendicular to the plain. The prospect
takes in an immense panorama, Harrow, Cooper's Hill,
of which Denham sung, the Surrey Downs, the eminences
of Norwood, Sydenham, Hampstead, Bushey, St. Paul's
Cathedral, and Westminster Abbey. Mrs. Fox's house
and grounds extended on the south side of St. Anne's-hill.
It may not be uninteresting, nor here out of place,
to mention the descent of this beautiful piece of property
into the hands of the widow of Mr. Fox, which he
took so much care in embellishing in his lifetime with
handsome p.antations. It is copyhotd, held of the
Manor of Chertsey. It formerly was the appanage of a
2hapel dedicated to St. Anne, which stood upon the hill,
which the Bishop of Winchester gave the Abbot and
convent permission to build, granting forty days indul-
gence to such as should repair to it, and contribute to
the fabric and ornaments of the same. In 1728 it be-
longed to Catherine Barton, widow, who sold it to the
family of the Trevors, in whose hands it continued by
descent, till, in 1769, Lady Trevor surrendered it to the
use of Lord Charles Spencer, or of such person as he
should appoint. In 1778, her Ladyship joined with
Lord Charles in surrendering it to the use of the Duke
of Marlborongh, who soon afterwards sold it to Mrs.
Armistead, Mr. Fox's widow, in whose hands it has con-
tinued to the present date.

Dr. BOWRING wished to know whether it was in-

The CHAIRMAN observed that the province of the
Bank had always been caution. They were anxious to
pursue the course of legitimate banking only. If, how-
ever, a good investment for their money could be found
thQ Directors in oald have no hesitation in coming before
the Prcprie:ors, and asking them for another call.—
(Hear, hear.) :At the'l3l%2Sellt moment, however, he did
not think they could, with propriety, ask the Proprietors
fan- further calls.

Lord COTTENHAM presented a petition from
three individuals praying their Lordships to abolish
the law of arrest in execution.

Lord BEAUMONT presented a petition from the
Guardians of the Easingwold Union for out-door
relief in certain cases.

The Marquis of LONDONDERRY presented a
petition from the females employed in the mines and
collieries of the Earl of. Elgin, in Fifeshire, com-

up houses instead of to countygaols.__

COMPROMISE ELECTRYN COMMITTEE.
Mr. ROEBUCK brought up. the Report of the
Compromise Election Committee.
PARISH CONSTABLES' BILL.

Mr CHILDERS wished to ask the Secretary for
the Home Department whether this Bill would be
brought on to morrow, and if so, whether it would be
at a late hour; As this would interfere with the Rural
Police Act, he thought it was important that the
subject should be discussed.
Sir J. GRAHAM said it would depend on the
progress made in the Poor-law Amendment Bill. It
was certainly his fixed intention to proceed with the
Bill. The. Hon. Gentleman was mistaken in saying
that this Bill would interfere with the rural police Act,
on the contrary, this measure would be made ancil-
lary to that Act.
\lr. CHILDERS said, it was of great importance
that the Bill should be discussed, therefore, if it was
brought on to-morrow, he should move that it be re-
committed.

On the motion that the House do go into a Com-
mittee of Supply,
Mr. SHEIL said, that having asked of the Noble
Lord, the Secretary for Ireland, to lay on the table
of the House the correspondence which took place
I relative to the restoration of Mr. St. George to the
Magistracy, and that Noble Lord having refused, he
(Mr. Sheil) gave notice that he would move for the
production of the papers, and that he should at
the same time venture to impugn the conduct of the
Irish Government, which he thought had departed
from those engagemetns which they voluntarily made
when entering upon office. He gave public notice of
his intention, and he furnished the Noble Lord
with a statement of the chief particulars
to which he intended to advert. He therefore trusted
it would not be considered that he had taken any un-
fair advantage.—(Hear, hear.) Many Hon. Members
thought he had acted injudiciously in bringing for-
ward such a subject at this late period of" the session,
' when the Noble Lord, the leader of the Opposition,
left town, and when the Right Hon. the Lord Mayor
of Dublin was obliged to go and attend the duties of
[ his office ; but notwithstanding those disadvantages,
he thought it was not right to let the session go by
without taking a discussion upon the subject.
He believed that the impression, that the
Government of Ireland had acted impartially, was
erroneous. He thought he would be able to prove
• that, and that the treading in the old tracts of
Toryism they would be led to the same consequences
to which it led them before. Ha should go
into details which would be tedious, and
he must intreat the House not to listen
to him with favour, but to bear with him
' with toleration. He would first proceed to the
pledges which had been given. The Right Hon.
Gentleman then referred to the declaration made by
L Sir R. Peel, that Ireland would be his chief difficulty,
to the declaration of the Noble Lord (Eliot)
before his constituency at the last election,
and to the reply of Lord De Grey to
' the Address of the Corporation of Dublin who
stated that in the administration of his Governtnent
"there would be a perfect abstinence from all party
feeling," but notwithstanding those declarations the
exclusive principle of Toryism remained and existed
nearly as unmitigated as formerly, and as far as
the executive was concerned the active Ca-
tholic Emancipation was not carried out.
They had appointed no Roman Catholic to any office
of importance. They would not tell him that a per-
sonal favour had been conferred on Mr. O'Leary by
the Lord Chancellor appointing him to some office of
rbout 7001. or 8001. a year, or that that was to be
considered as an evidence of the impartiality of the
I present Ministry. The nation did not care for
such paltry remunerations; it naturally looked
to the high office that tended to exalt the community.
They might say to them, could they expect them to
appoint their law antagonists ; true, they could not,
but still they might act with justice, What hrd been
the course taken in 1836 ? Why, in that year they
found Mr. Blackburn Attorney-General, and notwith-
standing the change in the Ministry, he was retained
in office. Mr. Sergeant Greene was Consel to the '
Castle in 1835, and when the Conservatives
came into power they retained Mr. Greene.
He wished to ask why it was that, while Mr. Ser-
geant Greene, a Protestant, was retained by the
Government of Sir Robert Peel, in 1835, as
counsel for the Castle, after he had been coun-
sel for the Castle under Lord Melbourne ? He
wished to ask why it was that Mr. Monahan,
a Roman Catholic gentleman of high standing,
had not been solicited, at the late change of Adminis-
tration, to retain his office. He found this remark-
able circumstance, that the Dublin Evening Mail, a
journal to which its party in Ireland was much in-
debted, had denounced the retention of Mr. Monahon,
and lie had accordingly been dismissed. Mr. Brew-
ster, a decided partisan, had subsequently been
appointed to ,the situation. Now he felt that under
those circumstances the Government could not lay
claim to that impartiality to which they had at the
outset of their career pretended. Again he found
Mr. Serjeant Warren and the present Solicitor-
General, when offering themselves for the suffrages
of the Dublin University, denouncing as cor-
rupt and unscriptural the National Educa-
tion system—that system for the introduc-
tion of which Ireland was so much indebted to
the Noble Lord opposite (Lord Stanley).
A vacancy occurred in the representation of Dublin,
and what was the course adopted by the Government
that was pledged to support no party ? This Gentle.-
man had concurred in the system of education, and
at the time he was put in nomination the Irish Muni-
cipal Act was in operation, and the Castle had
already selected a Conservative Gentleman to
fill the the office of Sheriff. How did the
popular party act ? They did not ask that
a party man should be appointed, but that they should
put Sir Ed. Burrough out of office, and that the elec-
tion should be fairly conducted. Having read extracts
from the memorial presented to the Government on
that occasion, he proceeded to say that the Govern-
ment refused to remove the Sheriff from office as re-
quested, but the Noble Lord opposite wrote a diplo-
matic letter to the Sheriff, expressing a hope that the
next election would be fairly conducted. This Mr.
Sheriff Browne had been in office when the Whigs
were in power ; and he had said, if the Government
them would
they
make
wanted.— (Hear,
n-ithe would do any job for
hear, and laughter.)
This was said in a letter to Mr. Eiffe, in which
he stated his determination, let what would
happen,
to act in all respects in accord-
ance with the wish of the Government. When
the Noble Lord (Lord Eliot) had that docu-
ment sent to him, he replied to this effect :—" I re-
ceived last night your letter. I am nnder the neces-
sity this day of taking my departure for London, but
Mr. Lucas, in whose hands I leave the document,
will lay it before the Lord Lieutenant, and give
you bio B.4.s`wer•T Now, he thought

John Dean, coachman to H. Hoare, Esq., No. 22,
13t4uton-street, was summoned before Mr. Hardwick for
having committed a violent assault on the police.
The police who made the charge stated that, they were
appointed on Thursday evening last to do duty at
Almack's, and to enforce the regulations of the Commis-
sioners relative to setting down and taking up by the
carriages. The defendant, in defiance of warning, per-
sisted in breaking the rank. His horses' heads were
immediately seized, but he whipped his horses, and also
the policeman, t;r some yards. The defendant cut with
so-touch severity, that the constable's hand was severly
lacerated. On showing the wounds to the inspector on
duty, the constable was told to take the coachman from
his box. The coachman, however, resisted, and struck
the policeman who had hold of him a blow. on the face.
He was, however, overpowered, and lodged in the station-
house.

Mr. Robinson, who attended professionally for the de-
fendant, said he should be üblo to prove thst the de-
fendant, being called, came out of the rank to take up, with
the consent of two other coachmen, who were before him,
and who were not wanted. The policeman laid hold of
the horses and pulled them towards a lamp-poit, and had
not the coachman whipped them sharply, the carriage
would have been broken to pieces. The policeman, if
struck at all, was struck accidentally; and when the con-
stables proceeded to pull the coachman by main force
from the box, they used so much violence, as to raise a
general cry of '• Shame." The police would insist on
taking the coachman to the station-house, notwithstand-
ing the express wish to the contrary, of Mrs. Hoare, who
was obliged to request a gentleman to drive her home.
Mr. HARDWICK—The simple question which had to
be decided was, whether the coachman had or had not
disobeyed the directions of the police.
Mr. Robinson said it was preposterous to call this a
free country, if the police were to be permitted to make
whatever laws they pleased, and in case of these, perhaps,
absurd laws being unattended to, take a man by main
force and imprison him.
Air. HARDWICK said it was indispensable to have Cer-
tain rules laid down in respect of carriages at public
places.
For the defence a footman, in the service of Mrs.
Hoare, was called, who made out that the police had in-
terfered without cause. He had himself been struck on
the mouth by a policeman when he merely delivered a
message from his mistress.
Two other witnesses were called, who said they did
not witness the alleged assault on the police.
Mr. lIAUDWICK said, the Police Commissioners had
drawn up certain rules to prevent disturbances in the
public streets, and it was the duty of the constables to
see that those rules were not infringed. If a coachman re-
ceived directions from the police, however inconvenient
it might be to comply, it was his duty to obey them im-
plicitly, for if the constable exceeded his duty he was
answerable to his superiors, and a remedy was then at '
hand. But it was not to be endured that the public
street should be made the arena of disputes of this cha-
racter—one party with whip and the other with trun-
cheon in hand, and as he was resolved to have the law
strictly obeyed, he should visit with severity every
breach of it when clearly proved. In this case a serious
offence had been aggravated by a violent fissault, and his
only doubt about the punishment was, whether he should
send the defendant to prison for a month, or fine him the
full penalty.
Mr. Robinson begged the Magistrate to read a letter
from ?ifrs. Hoare, on behalf of her servant.

CORONER'S INQUEST.

The motion wa, then agreed to.
The four Dire,tora that went out by rotation were
then re-elected.

. -
Mr. HARDWICK said, the letter went only to show that
the lady believed her coachman to be " entirely blame-
lesi " in the matter.

On Saturday afternoon an inquest was held before Mr.
Payne, at Howard's Coffee-house, St. James's-place,
Houndsditch, on the body of David Levy, aged 56, an
orange-merchant, of No. 2, Sugar Baker's-yard, in that
neighbourhood, who committed suicide in a very deter-
mined manner. Suicide being rare among the Jews, and
it being their Sabbath, the large room in which the in-
quiry was held was crowded with Israelites.
Lazarus Isaacs, of King street, SL James's-place,
fruiterer, examined—On Friday afternoon, on returning
home from a fruit sale, I was stopped by deceased's wife,
and she asked me if I had seen " poor Levy ?" I an-
swered, " No." She then told me she had not seen
him since eleven o'clock, and that he had been much
troubled in mind for the last few days. I had not
seen him as usual in the morning at the orange market.
In the evening I saw Mrs. Levy again, and she told
me her husband had not as yet come home, and
begged that I would look for him. I did so, and going
up stairs to his bed-room, on the second floor, I found the
door locked, and on calling I received no answer. Mrs.
Levy then desired me to burst the door open, which I
did with her assistance. I discovefed on the bed a
prayer-book, and upon it was a piece of bread and some
salt. I also found a phial, and looked under the bed, but
could not see deceased. Mrs. Levy, on searching behind
the door, exclaimed, " My God ! there he is hanging."
He was hanging by a cord, fastened to a staple and two
wooden pegs, one end of the rope being round the three
fastenings; and the other round his neck. With assist-
ance I cut him down; and in my opinion be had been
dead three hours.

Thanks were then unanimously voted to Mr. Cutbill
and Mr. Barnewell, the managers of the banks in Moor-
gate-street and Henrietta-street, for the excellent manner
in which they had managed those establishments.
Dr. BowaiNG
wished to call the attention of the
Directors to foreign credits. He thought that great
some course with
good might be done by adopting
respect to it.

By the Coroner—l have noticed something very par-
ticular in his manner lately. Though very intimate with
him, he passed by me on Friday morning looking very
fiercely at me, and without speaking.
Isaac Lyon, of Duke-street, Aldgate, said deceased
called on me on Thursday morning last, and told me he
was going to make away with himself. I argued with
him, and told him of the sin he was about to commit,
which would obtain no forgiveness. ' He told me he had
an annuity and did not want, but that he was very mi-
serable with his wife. He also Stated that he had for-
merly made several attempts upon his life, but that un-
fortunately they had never succeeded. Whilst telling
me this he looked like a madman.
_

Lewis Isaacs, of No. King-street, Aldgate, said,
about eight months ago deceased's wife called me in, and
on going into his bed-room I saw him there, and he was
praying, having a prayer-book, a loaf, and some salt
before him. He told me he was distracted, and that he
was going to make away with himself, and showed me a
rope flung over the bedstead, saying,. " Look there,
'tie with that I mean to do it." With difficulty I led him
out of the room, and took him fur a walk. He cried
very bitterly, and said that he had used bail language
towards his wife, and was afraid she would not forgive
him. He asked me to intercede. I promised to do so,
and did ; and Mrs. Levy not only forgave him, but said
she would do everything in her power to make him
comfortable ; and to my knowledge she did so. He told
me he had money sunk, and never could come to want.
Mr. Dite, surgeon, of Houndsditch, said, I was called
in to see the deceased about eight o'clock oft Friday
evening, and found him dead. He had been so about
two hours. Death was caused by hanging. The vial
which was found had contained laudanum. Verdict—
" Temporary insanity."

The defendant was ultimately fined the full penalty of
Z/. and costs.

An elderly man, named Robert Honeynian, who was
formerly in affluent circumstances, and proprietor of the
Surrey Theatre, was charged by Richard Blackburne,
waiter at the Sir Hugh Middleton Tavern, adjacent to
Sadler's Wells Theatre, with having stolen six glass
tumblers. It appeared from the evidence of the
prosecutor that the defendant was in the habit of visit-
ing the parlour of the Sir Hugh Myddleton, and that
lately tumblers had been missed on several occasions. On
Tuesday last the prosecutor had left the accused in the
parlour for a few minutes, and on returning had found
the pri,.3oner gone, and six tumblers missinff ; he intnp-
diately followed the defendant and accused him of taking
the tumblers, and insisted on searching him, whorl

account for such an absurd and dangerous rumour:—
"There was a report at the Bourse that an insurrection
had broken out in London, and that the Queen had been
made prisoner in her Palace. The English journals, re-
ceived to-day, take no notice of such an affitir."
Miss Hamblin, charged with the murder of Mr.
Ewing, of the Theatre, in March lust, gave herself up to
the authorities on Tnesday, and was examined that
evening before Judge Bragg. • The result was, she was
committed for trial at the next term of the circuit court,
