SIR SAMUEL BAKER OK EoYPT.-Sir Sam
uel Baker, IN a letter from Alexandria Egypt,
says THE Viceroy has determined that an
English officer shall succeed me in the govern
orship of Central Africa. This is nconteSti-
hle proof of the determination of the great
Egyptian reformer To carry the work to a good
end. There can be no change of the slave

out en- masse, and the government will assume
a monopoly of the ivory trade until such time
as an opportunity may afford for further

Tho condltlon OF the Country.

The condition uf the country is truly deploraole
Notwithstanding ali that has been said by The
Press TO keep up the courage OF the people and to
pat on the best appearances, there is evident dis
rust in all directions. The high premium which
money commands is Of the best cvldenoes OF
this Ii furnishes the undeniable fac; that the
Banks are not dscouniing TO any ex'eut. aud the
c5ust q ueuce Is there is contraction IN all Kind
o business Even the largest aad strongest firms
are dischargng hands and endeavoring to curtail'
expenses Aud what we mos. fear Is that this
work is only begun that it will grow worse, just
as the monetary institutions curtail and contract
aud this is apparently only commenced The ef-
iecte Of the panic can only be ccunteracted by
economy aud prudent outlay by all whose means
are limited. Undoubtedly this will be the turn
that must follow, and the business Of many large
houses wili he tremendously curailed. Thou
lands of merchants who intended 70 buy heavy
stocks month ago viii be satisfied with very lin
iieI puIc..as, meet thc certain contraction con-
tract IA of sales that always follows on such oc :

We reach the schi T ,un / gam there is a rugged
passage that cannot Ice brijged-it must be wadcd

Oar greatest misfortune is that have mol

Goth Of July last was sleeping ON the boat with his

impression that the tobacco must have been Rear
dOns work, hit him on the head and shoulder so

conduct towards ladies. Matheis resented

him for it, lew minutes afterwards he
came behind Mr.. vnle and struck him with

Action Between Landlord and Tenant.
Before Judge Joachimsen.
William @. Wander Roest VS.. Alexander ROux.-
In the Fall OF 1869 the plaintiff leased from the de-
fendant the building As Mercer street. for the pur
pose Of carrying on therein the artificial flower
business, but no other business more dangerous in
Its character. BY permission OF the landlord an
addition Of wood and corrugated iron was erected
on the roof by plaintiff, in which was placed
boiler used in the dyeing Of feathers and the roof
was also used for the drying Of them. The floor
of this structure Of Stats OF wood laid so not
to interfere with the rain being carried on, but
laid over the mouth of the iron pipe built to re-
ceive it, running down through the building, and
toward which the roof inclined from 'front.' aud
rear. In March, 1871 the defendant was erecting
another building on the lot AZ Mercer street, In
party wall, but the new building being car
ried higher than the old one, the edge OF the tin
roof OF 45 was taken from under the coping and
laid up against the new wall. On tho morning OF
the 10Th very heavy rain shower occurred. which
deugcd the premises occupied by plain
feathers, for witch this suit Is brought PaIntir
contends that the rain which caused this damage
penetrated ut the point where the tin was raised,
and number Of witnesses swear that from The
indications that must have been the point while
the testimony was equally strong on the other side
that this was not the case their theory being that
the escape pipe was filed up with particles OF
feathers escaping from the boiler in the dyeng
process and falling on the roof 10 the drying, thus
causing the water TO back and come through at
another point, and plumber was called who tes-
tilted to having uncovered the pipe and taken out
mass OF stun sufficient to stop IL. This was con-
tradcted, however. DEFENDANTS counsel moved
for nonsuit on the grounds that the using OF the
building for the feather business was violation or
the lease, that defendant cannot be made plaintiffs
insurer, and that the addition on the roof endan-
gered the safety'of the building: but the motion
was denied and the case submitted 10 the jury who
rendered q verdict for the amount OF damage suf-
fered by the plaintiff For plaintn, Steele &
Boyd; for defendant, Edgar Logan.

Matched for $1,000 Side-wednesdsy.
21st OF May, the Fighting nay.
After several meetings resulting In nothing but
words, the'well-kno pugilists, Arthur Chambers
and George Seddons, met at convenient trysting
place yesterday afternoon and signed articles OF
agreement to meet in the squared circle" and
compare their nghting abilities The intelligence
That they would thus together was pretty gen.
orally understood by the many friends OF those men.
ana at the appointed hour, among many others,
George Rookie, Mickey Coburn, Bob Smith, TIM
Collins, Butt Riley, Mike Trainor, Johnny Lazarus
and George Siler put in an appearances and without
ceremony, the principals began to exchange ideas
and arrange the business on hand. First 1t was
determined they would fight for $1,000 side;
secondly at 40 lbs and thirdly that 1t should take
place on Wednesday, the 2lst OF May. Then the
question OF selecting the ground was raised, when
there ensued quite an argument Chambers wish
ing TO meet at spot not less than 500 miles rom
New York ana Seddons not over $50 miles, A
compromise was effected by tossing for the choice,
which was won by Arthur, much to his granica-
ton. From this point there was PLAIN sailing, ana
II was agreed that the principals should welgn tne
day before fighting, between the hours OF eight
and twelve O'Clock noon and that this business DC
gone through with at the place where Chambers
may then be stopping. They also agreed to De IN
the ring between the hours OF six and twelve
O'Clock noon. The first deposit of 800 was
Then put up, the subsequent instruments DelnR az
follows March IA, $3.50 each; April IA, $3.50 each,
ana the fourth and last, Chambers $3.50 to s45Q
from Seddons. The difference in the latter amount
is owing TO the sum of 800 that was put up by hese
men when they were In business together a. depos
1t In the proposed second match between Chambers
aud Edwards, and in this manner IL has been
divided Chambers having been held responsible
for the sum- The usual proys0 OF tossing for the
location OF ground ten days before lighting, and also
that OF choosing the referee at the Tlpg side, were
incorporated Id the articles When the entire party
adjourned to some convenient place in New Jer-
sey where they were duly signed George Rookie
being Chambers witness, and Butt Riley assuming
the same Office for Seddons
The consummati0n oil this match VIII be hailed
with delight by all pugiliss throughout the coun-
try, as there Is an evident determination on the
part of the principals to thus satisfactorily adjust
their differences. Both are well known as being
very clever with their hands, and, with proper con-
ditiOn and outside interference, there will be
severe struggle for victory. Chambers and Sed-
dons are in business, the former In Newark and the
latter in this city.
