DAMMlNG THE NILE. -Bayard Taylo}
one of the editors Of the New York Trt
bune, who is now travelling in Egypt
thus speaks of the great work which !
now in progress for damming the Nile |
Singularly enough, this immens
work which is among the great under
takings of modetn times, is scarcel
heard of out of Egypt. 1t is nothin}
less than damming of the Nile, whic
is to have the effect Of two inundation|
a year, and to double the crops all alon
the great river. Here where the grea
flood divides itself into two main bran
ches, which find separate mouths a
Damietta and Rosetta, an immense dam
has not only been projected, but is faj
advanced towards completion. Eaci|
branch will be spanned by sixty twl
arches, besides central gate waJ
ninety feet i'll breadth, and fanked bJ
lofty stone towers The point of thd
Delta, between the two dams is protect
ted by a curtain of solid masonry, and
"puehShto "hiSh ~ Joiho uIG lOTltUcO
by towers sixty or seventy feet in height
The piers are curved breakwaters on|
the upper side, while the opposite para
pet of the arches rises high above them,
so that the dam consists of three suc-
cessive terraces and presents itself like
wedge, against the force of such an
immense body of water The material
is brick, faced with granite When
complete, it is intended to close Tho
sde-arches during low water. leaving
only the central gateway open. by this
means, sufficient water will be gained
to fill all the irrigating canals while a
new channel. cut through the centre Of
the Delta, will render productive vast
tract of fertile land. The project is a
grand one, and the only obstacle 20 its
success is the light porous character Of
the alluvial soil on which the piers are
founded. The undertaking was COM
menced by M. Linant, and has since
been continued by other engineers A
regiment of Egyptian troops are at pre-
sent encamped on the spot, and the
workmen are preparing to commence
operations as sooa as the river shall have

HUNGARIAN GIPsIEs.-A pople of mys-
terious origin, inaccessible to all civil-
zation, and insensible to all religion, af-
ter repose of four hundred years, has
once more grasped the pilgrims staff to
fly beyond the reach OF modern legisla-
tion, and seek out for itself new coun-
try Alarmed at the reorganization Of
the kingdom of Hungary by the usur-
patlons OF the Austrian government of
that country, whore they have SO long
enjoyed the immunities of an unnter-
rnpted freedom, they have been fer some
time wandering in swarms and in all
directions throughout the Austrian mon
archy, seeking an outlet into another
more friendly land. Accustomed fol
centuries in Hungary to live apart from
the rest OF its population as unmolested
dwellers in holes and caves, earning the
scanty necessares of life Without much
exertlon, they have found themselves
narrowly watched. @Averse to, and in
censed at this state of surveillance, it
las wrought them into unhe1rd of ex-
citement, and to the desperate resolve
to leave forever their wonted hearths,
to seek out once more the ancient coun-
try from which, 80 many centuries ago,
they were driven by some unknown
power To see this people in their pre-
sent impulsiye act of emigration is said
to be truly wonderful. Like the wild
denizens Of the forest enclosed on all
sides, they seek an issue ou Of the fron-
tier pale of Europe. Numbers have
penetrated on their pilg image as far as
the Tyrol and even Switzerland Bo-
hemia and Austria Proper swarm with
their hordes, and numbers have pene-
trated southwark across the Turkish
frontiers. They speak of nothing but
of their new country, where there are
no frontiers no passports, and no gell-
darmes. They say they came fron,
Egypt, and must now return thither.

By mistake in the telegraph, the resolution ol

Since the incoming of the present Wing administration
the public expenditures have increased most fear

ministr alton during time Of profound peace, have ex
ceeded the expenditures of the administration Of Mr.
Polk with large invading army in foreign country.
How this 10 be accounted fori Can any explaint
Is possible that it should cost more too support the gov
ernment of peace than it did during expensive
warl The only way in which can explain IT, is that
gross corruption has crept into the government and
moneys are expended for improper purposes There
can be doubt that the expenditures are made up OF
