TROUBLE IN EsYpT.-Affairs look very threaten
ing Egypt, and there is every prospect ola great
soon between England and the Pacha oil Egypt;
Letters from Constantinopc say that the attempts
of the British Government to procure the return
escape Of such officers If the Turkish feet at Alex
andria as were dissatisfied with their detention
there had irritated Mchemet Ali, insOmuch that he
prohibited on pain of death the of any officer
to Turkey and nominated Ahmed Pasha (the hate
Captain Pasha) to the command OF the united Turk
,s S and Egg psad Ies'' If the yeeroy has caused
vast sensation in the Turkish capital, and so much
incensed the Government that prompt and strong
measures were looked Tor.
1t appears that this was not the only point on
which Mehemet Ali and the British had had diff
ference. The interruption given BY the British
ships Of to the passage OF several hundred vol
unteers from Albania to Alexandra, in vessels under
the Ionian flag, recruit the army Of Mehemct Ali,
had 30 much rritated the latter that in his commu-
nication with Colonel Hodges he threatened to pro-
duce revolt in Albania and Asia Minor. Colonel
Hodges is said 20 have used strong, and, In diplo-
macy, somewhat unusual figure, in his reply to this
threat. ali" said he you persist in the use OF
language of this nature, England will pulveriZe you
ere three months expirer' The consuls of the 9TH
er foreign Powers succeeded, however, in patching
up the quarrel The Gorgon steamer was reported
to have carried to Alexandria formal demand for
the immediate restitution Of the Turkish fleet, and
that in of refusal, the English Consul and other
British subjects there, were forthwith to depart.

brought home five British in irons, who
were charged with creating the first row at Chr
village in Hong Kong Bay, and killing China
man. They were all liberated short time after
their arrival. They tell the following story
On the 4th of July Last, the anniversary Of Amer-
can Independence, several American seamen went
ashore TO a small village, where they got drunk and
quarreled with the Chinese. After hitting many
acts Of disorder, they left the place, and in doing
fell in with some British seamen, 10 whom, how
ever, they behaved in very friendly manner, with
the exec ption Of one man, known Baltimore Tom,
who boasts of his pugilstic powers, and challenged
TO fight any seaman on board British ship, accom-
panying his challenge with some insulting remarks
The British did not efer To modest Baltimore
Tom that occasion, bat week afterwards, learn
ing that he had gone ashore, several English and
Scotch sailors went after him with determination,
for the honor Of their common country to fight him
IL he would accept of one Of them an adversary.
When they got upon the beach at a village abreast
Of Lin Tin, the British met the Americans
coming towsrds their boats without the boasting
Baltimore Tom. The Americans had their hats de-
corated with gold leaves, which they said they had
taken from tho Chinese, whom they had fought and
beaten. They also stated that they had broken open
"josshouse," or Chinese place of worrhip, and
knocked the wooden gods and idols about. The
British seamen proceeded to the village which they
had no sooner entered than the Chinese, believing
them to belong Ia the party Of Americans who had
lust committed the outrage, attacked them with
sticks and stones in most brutal manner The Bri-
fish seamen retaliated. and, after desperate con-
fict succeeded in defeating the Cinnamon, cleared
the village, and caused them to fly in all directions
