EGITT.—We have been favoured with the following
communications from Alexandria : A vei y a:riindant
coal mine has just been discovered in Syrir, a few miles
from the coast, from whence the Pasha of Egypt can
draw such supplies as will enable him to adoet mole
extersively the use of steam-engines in his &minion:.
Measures are now in progress, also, for erecting and es-
tablishing a lazaretto at Alexandria. This circumstance
proves incontestibly the enlightened mind of the present
Ruler in Egypt. Were similar measures of precautiol
adopted in other ports in the Levant, the terrible
scourge of the East would soon disappear. It is the
fatalism of the Turks which occasions the wide and
spreading ravages of the plague. We...rmissioned some
time ago the arrival of a giraffe, or'eariiplpopard, at
Alexandria, and of its having been shipped froftl thence
on board the Titus, to Constantinople, as a irmscot to
the Grand Signior. The vessel, we hear, was kit off
the Dardanelles, but the giraffe, and twenty-ooe Ara-
bian horses, were brought safely to shore, and con-
elucted by land to Constantinople.—Cambridge LA7O4-
The " yew tree shade," and the oraves " many a
mouldering heap," so pathetically describetl'hy Gaav in his beand•

the Poet was alive, in the picturesque Church-yard of Stoke.
