SLAVERY IN EcYPr.-A letter from Al

cuton the decision come to by tbez0lvan re-
lative to the abolition Of slavery. Not only
is it not allowed any longer to sell or buy
slaves in Egypt, but all those in the pos
sessions Of private individuals were inform.
ed that they are free. All Of them imme-
diatcly left, and the first results has been
that paid servants have become very ex

A DOUBLE ELoPENEET IN BALTIMORE
That portion Of the city known AS Dumfries
was thrown into a state Of excitement yes
terday, in consequence of the elopement
of two wives from their husbands. The
first case was that Of q young woman who
had been married only few mr. n,hs.-
II appears that before her marriage she
was addressed by young man to whom
she engaged herself, but from some cause
the contract Was not consu minated, and
the husband whom she has left making
her acqua ntance, and being respectable
young man, who had good prospect for
independence, she married him. Shortly
after her marriage she commenced visiting
place where lottery policies are sold,
where she met the party whom she first
loved, and who was married to anoher.--
At these meeting an intimacy sprung up
which soon ripcned into an agreement to
elope, and they accordingly went off day
or two ago, the wife taking all the money
her husband had in the house with her. Her
injured husband has determined to take the
matter philosophically, satisfied that he is
much better off without an unailhful wife.

sisted in destroying the happiness of wor-

all right minded persons, and she too will
doubtless be quite as happy alone, as with

noble. The other case is that OF female
in the same locality, further advanced in
life, and who has been married for several
years. We could not learn whether the
gay Lo,hnrio who went off with this de.
serting wife leil one of his own to mourn
over his ingratitude. This is singular coin
cidence that ono neighborhood should give
birth to two events of like reprehensible

The Gar Of Russia, while at Odessa
visited the Cathedral, lwhen tn, following
remarks were addressed to him lby the
Archbishop: ..
"Pious Sovereign, thou hast scarcely put
on the crown Of thy ancestor when it has
pleased Providence to surround it with
thorns. Our bodily eyes are not accustom-
ed to see snch aniornament sparkle on the
head of kings, bnt the eyes of faith see in
it, with piety and respect, a souvenir Of the
crown of Christ. Has it not been, in fact,
such crowns that the most pious kings
aud princes have worn since David, Je-
hosaphat, Constantine, Vladimir the Great /,
until Dimitrii, our hero OF tho Don, and
finally thy patron, Alexander Newsky
"IIave courage, and let not thy soul be-
come weak at the sight Of these smoking
brands," said the prophet to the warrior
king Akakz, when tho two kingdoms Of
Israel and Assyria united against him in
an unjust war. How closely do those
words Of the prophet apply to Us and our
enemies T. unhappy France! Is she
not, in truth, the brand which Tor half a
century has carried fire throughout the en-
tire world And the proud. but to-day
abased and jeopardized Britain f! What is
she, II not the other brand, which, alter
being extinguished for two centuries, re.
commences TO smoke in the midst of q
yawning gulf? And we also will say
with the prophet, "Let not thy soul grow
weak at the sight of these two smoking
brands before u.s." At a sign from the
Most High the winds abate and. the rain
falls to fertilize our fields. These brands
depart, and Russia, protected by God, re-
covers itsel { for tho Joy Of her chief and for
the well-bcing even of her own enemies.
Enter, then, D pious Sovereign, the
temple where thy august father lately came
in the depth of the night to raise towards
Heaven his thanks for having escaped the
tempest aud shipwreck. Enter, and in thy
turn raise with US thy prayers to The King
OF Kings for the cessation Of the tempest
which now RACES both up n lea and land.
May Heaven grant that this temple may
again see thee kneeling before God, but
then only to render acknowledgements and
to give thanks. Amen"
