Abbas Pacha is narrow minded and full of pre-
JUDGE, very bigoted in favor of his religion, and
Is extremely jealous of foreigners. He repudiates
all foreign influence or assistance, and is fast dis
missing the many experienced Europeans, whom
his predecessors had wisely engaged in different
branches of the civil and military administration
Said Pacha, the brother of Ibrahim, his probable
successor, is man of very different stamp. He
regards foreigners with great favor, and his polti
cal views are liberal and sensible. Two sons of
Ibrahim, who may hereafter exercise an important
influence in the country, have been educated In
Paris, and intelligent and strongly opposed to
the present order of things. II was only through
the Intervention of the Sultan that they were al
lowed to return from Paris 10 Alexandria, where
they now reside
The English are daily acquiring greater inhusnce
and stronger hold over thecountry, and it is even
now quite certain that the mass of the people would
prefer British rule 10 their present government
The natives are fast opening their eyes to the SUI
periority OF foreigners, with whom they are brought
in constant contact and fast losing all their pre-
JUDGE, and bigotry and intolerance. But fourteen
years ago French lady was killed by mob in the
streets OF Cairo for wearing green VEIL color
distinguishing the descendants OF the prophet.
Such act now is unlikely in Cairo as in Paris.
Throughout Egypt the hat is no longer, as for
mcrly, the badge of ignomny; il is in reality more
honored than the turban. Egypt cannot long
tain its present position. The tide of civilization
has at last reached its borders, and it must either
bow or be overwhelmed. The country possesses
immense agricultural resources, and the people,
though degraded and depraved, have natural
stamina that qualities them for social regeneration.
Jealous OF the cars designs on Turkey, England
now makes the integrity of the Ottoman Empire
the prime object OF her eastern policy; but every
months history makes it more probable that time
is not far distant when Egypt will be attached, by
some tenure more or less close, to the British EN-
pire.

!. v.v.I scene or cronstadt.

The United States ship Independence, under the
command Of Captain Nicholson, sailed Tor Cron-
stadt in 1887, from Boston, carrying out MIR. Dial
las the United States minister TO Russia. The fol
lowing interesting incident was described at the
time as having taken place soon after the arrival
of that noble ship off the port of Cronstadt:
1--WE arrived off Cronstadt on Saturday morning,
goth July, and most lovely morning 1t was. The
harbor was covered with ships of war, and vessels
of all nations, and every size and description. To
increase the interest and beauty of the scene,
Russian fleet, in the direction of Petcrhof was
formed in two opposing squadrons, and, after ma
neuyering some time in sham fight, opened their
batteries upon each other.
1--WE had scarcely anchored and fired, and re-
ceived the customary salute, when steamer;
crowded with officers, seen making Tor us, and
soon an officer, evidently of high rank, accompa-
MED by large staff, came on board our SNIP nc
was introduced TO Commodore Nicholson as Prince
Menchikoh, minister OF marine In MS sulie was
an officer whose uniform was distinguished from
that of the rest OF the staff by the top of his cap be-
ing white, instead Of the rival green. After the
usual forms of introduction had been gone through,
and the Prince invited into the Commodore's cab
in this officer separated himself from the rest, went
forward among the men, and thence down to the
main b,rth deck, and, in short, all over the ship,
examining every thing very particularly.
On the main deck, he met the nurse OF Mrs. Dali
las, with little Charlotte, beautiful curly haired
cherub, whom he took from the nurse and caressed.
On returning to the quarterback, his general APP
pearance and lofty mien soon caused him TO be re-
Cognl5eu as ulc Emperor himself, Dut DIS Ht Hid
come incognito, all the honors and attentions were
paid by the Commodore and his officers TO the
Prince, while they remained on board.
The Emperor went into the cabin, which he
praised for its comfort and the taste with which II
was furnished He had obviously come on board,
as lac did so Immediately after arrival, in order
TO see the ship in her every day condition. and he
did see her, and must have felt the admiration
he expressed the next day TO the Commodore. lie
spoke particularly of her battery, which looked he
said as if the ship was built for fighting.
Prince Menchikof having been taken all through
the ship, took leave and, In his barge pushed of
for the steamer, the Emperor acting as coxswain.
The moment they were all on board the steamer,
we manned our yards, hosted the Russian flag,
and fired salute of forty guns, thus apprising
the Emperor that he was known TO US. He then
hosted our flag on board his steamer, ordered one
of his frigates to return the salute, and stood on
his way. As soon the firing was over, the En-
peror, in compliment to us, hoisted the imperial
standard, the appearance of which all the ships
and forts III the harbor opened salute and a more
beautiful and animating scene have not witnessed

Mr.. HUNTER obtained leave 10 Withdraw from

session.
Mr.. SEWARD obtained leave to withdraw from
the files of the Senate the papers of SHELTON Peth

MIR. UNDERWOOD rose TO give notice that in a
pay the unsettled claims due the officers and men
constituting the Virginia continental line of the
revolutionary
Mr.. FOOTE sincerely hoped that the notice
given by the Senator from Kentucky was in order,
but he doubted whether, the two Houses at pre-
the Senate at least not having been notified of the
fact, any notice such the Senate had just given
could be entertained He had a bill, which he
should like to introduce; and, if the Senator from
Kentucky was in order, he would also give notice
of the introduction of his bill
The PRESIDING OFFICER inquired if the
Senator from Mississippi desired the opinion of the
Chair upon the subject
Mr.. FOOTE would be pleased if the Chair should
decide.
The PRESIDING OFFICER was of the opinion
that the rules required that both Houses should be
organized for legislative purposes, before such
notice could be given. The notice prelimi-

And then, on motion Of Mr.. HAMLIN,

Our Wood Crop.

One OF the most singular phenomena connected
with our history, is the little huctuaton that
takes place in timber market Wood brings
but little more per cord than it did twenty
years ago, and yet the quantity annually con
sumed by our ook-stoves, ship carpenters, char
coal burners and other artisans, is awful to think
Of How n crop that is never renewed stands this
continual drainage, with little no effect its
price, puzzles 20 account for. In our opinion,
nothing shows the immense resources of our glori-
Gus country more than this simple, undeniabe and
well known fact. When we take into considera-
ton that the oak timber required for one single
ocean steamer would strip bare as the Greek
Slave fifty acres Of the best wooded land in the
country, some idea may be formed Of the quantity
OF land run over by the Of the ship-carpenter
alone. To supply the shin ards Of New York
CURES the stripping of five thousand acres Of tim
ber-land annually supply that seems almost i'm
possible that even the model republic should be
equal 70 for much longer period; and yet states
and pencils inform that this immense supply
can be continued without any sensible addition 10
the price, Or any apparent diminution Of our
forest lands This fact will be more readily
admitted when We state that tho present supply Of
ship timber i principally derived from the States
Of Florida, New Jersey, Pennsylvania and New
York-the oak Of these States being far preferable
70 that growing farther north, the latter being
more spongy and porous. But our great timber
