Red Sea, between England, India Ceylon China,
&c, well known for his enterprise and perseverance,
has Just published pamphlet entitled Egypt as It's
in 1887" He has written and published it avowedly
sin the hope that may induce IN the members of the
British Parliament both Lords and Commons, some
sort of sympathy for Egypt instead of that indlffer
ence to her interests which permitted her be sacri
feed 10 the bolsterng up of Turkey;" and further,
"to show from the present state of Egypt and facts
that it IS both our interest and duty, natlon to
aid in the civilization of that fine country instead of
adhering to line of policy which, by encouraging the
extoronate demands of Turkey upon Egypt, tends TO
paalyze the Efforts of the latter towards the attain
ment OF her political and moral freedom. In desert
bng the physical power of Egypt, 10 which country
he may be said to be the very latest visitor he states

STEAM NAVIGATION OF THE ATLANTIc.-Every
thing promises that it will be long ere the Allan
tic Is poughed as regularly by steamers it is
by sailing vesselc indeed, all things considered, the
sTangest thing about the matter is, that the object
should not have been effected many years ago
Steamboats, of peculiar construction now build
ing at New York for the packet service between that
port and LVerpool and another Is constructing at
BLACKWELL for an English company who do MOI, how
ever, anticipate that they shall be able to commence
operations before the spring of 1888. Meanwhile,
steamer plies regularly between London and Jamal
ca. Ii has, we believe, performed the trip several
times although The fact has attracted very little at
tentlon. Of the vast utility Of the Improvement no
doubt can be entertained, especially at the very mo-
ment when Notwithstanding the anxiety of the mer-
camille world for American intelligence, the smiling
packets have been detained by contrary winds, in
sight of the English shores longer period than might
have sufficed for the whole voyage Ore ship during
the recent easerly winds, It is said was detained IN
soundings no fewer than thirty five days-the trip

!, SIR ANDREW AGAIN,-This religious buffo of the
House of Commons has been once more at it, and
bias positively got leave to introduce another of his
Sabbath Observing Puerllties. We know that Far
lament would plead excuse, that il is merely
make fun of Agnew, that the bill is allowed to be
introduced, but in these times this sort of spending
the time that ought TO be devoted TO business OF great
er import. One of lis grand cOups is to stop the
working Of steam packets on Sundays, but are
somewhat afraid that there will be jllng the
vaporlc matter beneath an Act of Parliament. We
really do wonder that the idiots who sent Agnew in
10 the House OF Commons are not al dslranchl
sed. The rdlcue and odum he throws upon his con-
sttuency onght should imagine to be Sufficient
TO keep them in dread of following him TO go into par
lament their representative. The dwelling buff
foon does nothing by any kind of chance, but make
fun of the Sabbath, proceeding highly injurious TO
oar orthodox feeling. 1t is all very well of an after
noon when there is nothing else doing in the house
but when business of real importance before IT, the
