whose name is becoming woridfamous, although pre-
Vlously obscure. In piping times Of peace which the

have remained in some subordinate position outranked
by every titled incapable When the storm comes, and
the mere mushroom shoots are uprOoted by the blast

overland route Egypt and down the Red Sea, in
one half the time it takes them to go round the Cape Of
Good Hope. Why then don't the British Government
send troops by that route is the question asked, and
generally answered by allusion TO old fogeyism.
This not exactly just Egypt is part of the Turkish
Empire The passage of troops through the territories
of any independent power is violation of its sover
eighty and England is too jealous both of France and
Russia to set an example that would give either
of them an excuse to violate the neutrality Of Turkish
soil. Even supposng Turkey willing to concede pas
age how could she afterwards refuse the favour
to others? The fact is that England is more afraid Of
her friend and ally Louis Napoleon, than she is Of the
Hindoo insurrection. Why didn't she send out troops
in her vast feet of War Steamers? Old fogeyism was
again assigned the cause and yet old fogeysm had
nothing to do with it. She could not dsnante herself
of both troops and ships at the one time She could not
trust her neighbors.
