LATEST FROM EGYPT


The Pacha intexIbly determined not to yield 10 the

asserts that the demands which he has made upon the
Sultan for his hereditary possession in his family of
Syria Gambia, Arabia, and Egypt, are just, and that it
is not question in which Christian powers should IN
ter!cre lie will occupy the position which he has as
sumed, and await the attacks Of the combined powers.
They will be compelled to blockade the ports Of Egypt,
SYRIA and those of the Red Sea. This must Interfere
with the interests of ncutra! commerce.
The genius and activity of the Pacha have created
wonderful resources. Egypt is AT this moment war
like camp, hristling with cannon Alohammed Ali
has under 100000 regular troops and 10000
irregular, with 500 pieces of artillery. His own fleet
and that of the Sultan which deserted 10 him, amount
to twentythrce ships fthc line, and twentythree fri
gates and corvcttes.
When Col. Hodges, the British Consul General in
Egypt, communicated to the Pacha the ultimatum of
his Government, he replied:

question appears to be, whether there has been a

Mr.. EDIroR,-As | have dong been in
the habit Of Selling every old book that
tails in my way, particularly if on the
subject of Theology, expecting to find
something 10 it worthy my attention; [
happily met with book of this descrip-
ton the other day in which found the
following jewish story, which, ] trust. will
not be unacceptable TO your numerous rea-
ders. The story goes TO set forth, in
simple and clear light, the impiety and alb
surdity CT prosecuting any man for his re-
lfgous principles, and is as follows -
When Abraham sat at his tent door, &C.
cordlng to custom, waiting to entertain
strangers, he espied an old man STOPPING
and leaning on his staff, weary with ago
and travel, coming towards him, who was
an hundred years of age. He received
him kindly, washed his feet, provided sup
per, and caused him TO sit down; but OBJ
serving that the old man ate and prayed
not, nor begged for blessing on his meat,
he asked him why he did not worship the
God of Heaven? The old man told him,
that he worshiped the fire only, and ac-
know'edged no other God. At which an
swer, Abraham grew so zealousIv angry.
that he thrust the old man out Of his tent
and exposed him to all the evils of the
night and an unguarded condition. When
the old man was gone, God called to Abra-
nam, and asked him where the stranger
was! He replied, | thrust him away, be-
cause he did not worship thee. God an
swered, have suffered him these hundred
years, although he dishonored me, and
could thou not endure him one night, when
ne gave thee no trouble? Upon this, Abra-
nam brought him back, and gave hospta-
bic entertainment, and wise instruction.

Drowning caused by a Dog.-On Sun
day morning week, two men, named Sa-
muel Fletcher and William Hoyle, were
bathing in the Trwell, near Hodgelane,
Stafford. They had % large young dog
with them, which jumped into the water,
and swan TO Hoyle; who was on an Island
in the middle of the river. The dog knew
him he played with it some time. He then
jumped into the water and the dog after
him. 1t snatched at his head, put his paws
upon him, and hold him down. Fletcher,
who had got out and was standing on the
bank; endeavored to call the dog off; but
as it would not come, he went into the wa
ter to Hoylo's assistance. Hoyle then
sunk and the dog went to Fletcher, and
put his paws upon him in the same man.
ner. Another man, named William u
Ian, Of Brown street, Stafford, who had al
so got into the water TO assist Hoyle, called
out to Fletcher to go under the water, ard
at the same time got hold Of the dog, and
pulled him eff; and Fletcher by diving,
succeeded in getting out. The dog was
then secured, and Ullan then tried 10 find
Hoyle, but coold not; and half an hour
elapsed before he was got out, when he
was quite dead. An inquest was held on
the body before Mr.. Rutter, the Coroner
for the county, on Tuesday week, when

SUPPORT YOUR OWN MEcHANIcs.-We
have seen several We'll written articles,
bearing the foregoing title in our Terrific
rial papers. The subject is one of more
than ordinary importance, and is moro d.
reciiy connected with our general interests
than is commonly supposed. We cordial
ly approve Of the principle of supporting
our own mechanics, and should be glad 10
see it strictly adhered TO, in every town
and village throughout the country Me-
chanics form the most important part Of a
village community, and the prosperity of
every town is identified with their success
in business. No community can expect
to thrive, which does not literally patron
ize its own mechanics, but must Of neces-
sity retrograde in business and prosperity.
A village which does not support its own
mechanics, may be readily distinguished
by It's deserted houses, empty shops, and
grass grown streets. No class Of commu-
nifty, are more directly the agents ia the
building up of towns, and giving spur TO
business-no class contribute more libe-
rally to works Of public improvement, or
are more ready to aid in matters Of taste,
ornament, or utility. In almost every
hourshing town more or less Of the best
specimens of enterprise and public oma-
ment, have been projected, and carried
forward by the liberality of mechanics.
There can be no greater violation Of
true policy, and true interest, than to ne
glect the sustaining Of tina; portion of our
fellow citizens who are engaged in me-
chanical pursuits. The plea which is Of
ten made for not patronizing our home in
dustry, is that more advantageous bar
gains can be made abroad than at home.
This excuse in nine cases out of ten, is
foolish absurdity, and originates more from
urjustifiabe prejudice or caprice, than from
any well grounded reason. Let every
village then, which would acquire wealth,
prosperity, and independence, remember
that these objects can only be obtained,by
rendering an undertaking support to their
own mechanics.

Unemployed Capihal,-Almost every pa
per we receive from the eastern cities.
speaks of money being unusually plenty,
and of an abundance Of capital lying mac
tive, because no inducements offer for safe
and profitable investments. 1t would ap-
pear, that there is at present a super
abundance of money in New York, and
other Atlantic cities; far greater than is
adequate to the immediate wants of the
community. This to a western man seems
passing strange. What capital living dor
mant, begging for five per cent interest on
proper securities? Immense sums of mo-
ney boarded up, for the reason that the
owners cannot turn them to a oroftabla
account? Eastern capitalists, have but a
limited knowledge Of the world after all.
If they would only take a weeks Journey
west TO Wisconsin, they would suddenly
be introduced into wide and extensive
theatre of operations, where capital 10 al
most an unlimited extent, might be readily
employed in safe and profitable invest
ments. Instead of five and six per cents,
twenty and twenty-five per cents, might
