HONESTY REWARDED.—On Friday, as the King of the
French was stopping to change horses at Essonne, a poor
woman presented herself with a petition, stating that
she had fallen sick at a public-house, and incurred a debt
of Bfrs., which she could not pay, and as a guarantee for
which the publican had detained her dog, which was her
only companion and friend. She owed the publican 18frs.,
but had 10frs. in her purse, and could not, she said, de-
ceive the king by asking for more than she actually wanted
to pay the debt. The king shortly afterwards returned the
petition, with several pieces of gold wrapped in it.
lanAnrm PACHA'S VISIT. A letter from Alexan-
dria of the 20th June, states that Mehemet Ali was very
much gratified with the accounts received of the reception
given to Ibrahim Pasha in England. He, however, ex-
pressed his surprise, that instead of a palace being placed
at his disposal, as at Paris, he should have had to take up
his quarters at a public hotel; but on its being explained
to him that the Emperor of Russia occupied the same
apartments at Alivart's, and that Her Majesty's Govern-
ment had no apartments reserved for the accommodation
of illustrious visitors, his Highness was satisfied. The
Viceroy was expected to leave for Constantinople in a
week or ten days. The sum of 1,000,000 dollars had
been provided towards the expense of the trip, hut it is
understood that his Highness would require double that
amount. The olj-et of so enormous an expenditure had
given rise to numerous conjectures. In consequence of
the Mahmoudieh canal being completely dried up this
year, the question of a railroad through Egypt had again
been started; but the immense outlay occasioned by the
fortLications of Aleoxandria, and the barrage of the Nile,
I
were believed to he the serious impediments n the way of
such an undertaking.
