ANCIENT EGYPTIAN MiNEs.-Some of the
iron mines ancienlly worked by the Egyptians
have recently been discovered anew by English
explorers,an search is to be instituted for other
ancient mines of silver, gold and iron. AS tue
processes followed III ancient times for the re-
duc.ioa Of ores were very defective, it is expect
ed that, in the dhbrts accumulated in the neigh
boriood Of the mines, an amount Of the useful
and precious metals will be found sufficient to
make the working it over again profitable. AT a
recent meeting Of the British Society of Anti
quaries, mention was made of the discovery,
in the neighboih0od of Mount Small, of the
turquoise mines Of the ancient Egyptians. The
discoverer, an Englishman, observed In water
courses Of that region, which in summer are
dry, peculiar blue stoLes which lie soon ascer-
lained TO be turquoises. This circumstance led
10 further research. We are now informed that
added by the friendly tribes he has taken into
his pay, lie has discovered the old turquoise
mines of the ancient Egyptians, the rocks that
| they worked for the stones, the very tools they
used, and their polishing aud grinding Places
] he fortunate dscoverer has already sent 10
EnglJnd some of the finest turquoses ever
seen.
While searching for the turquoise mines, the
same explorer discovered the ancient lines OF
fertilization surrounding the works, and came
| upon the remains Of vast iron works, which
must have employed many thousand hands
| Siag taken from tho refuse-he3ps around these
| works contains as much as So per cent. Of iron
| The whole surrounding district is we'll worthy
Of being Thoroughly explored by tue antlquary
as ii contains many hieroglyphic inscriptions
which would doubtless throw much light upor
the early history of metullurgy.

The EMPRESS Eu6ENIE.--NEw YORK, July
IA letter from Geneva 10 the World, gives a
conversation with the late Empress of France.
She says her visit to France is for a political
purpose, and that it Is useless to try and con-
ceIl it. She believes there will soon be a gem
eral retHrn Of the people to order, and she said
the Piedm0ntese gov erument at Rome, the anti.
Christian and Pagan court at Berlin, and the
wild conmnnants at Madrid, are filled with fear
at the awakening Of Catholic France, now that
The wretchcd Theirs is gone. "All know that
McMahon is prudent and loves France"
''rhc future" said the Empress" is ours,and
France will lead the reaction against the forces
which have seemed to threaten the exi@tencs OF
society ami religion throughout Europe" She
saw IN future that France may again be at the
head Of nations, the robbers driven out Of Rome
the Pope restored, Germany divided into harm
less states and Austria again strong.
