DIsRAELI gave some notion OF the extent
to which he Is ready to carry his Egyptian policy
when he declared In Parliament the other day
his willingness TO accede TO a request from the
Kh6dive Tor the appointment OF British Com
missioner to collect the Egyptian revenues and
apply them u the redemption OF the Egyptian
debt. The Khedlve has not yet made such re-
quest. but DIsRAELI has given him a hint on
the subject by letting him know how It would
be received, and has also NJ the same time Offer
ed Parliament the opportunity OF expressing an
opinion thereon. 1t is evident that Egyptian
affairs are henceforth to occupy large amount
Of attention IN the British Parliament, and that
the British Government desires the Continental
powers to have full understanding, in any
contingency, Of British purposes regarding
Egypt. In fact, 1t is evident that the British pro-
tectorate over Egypt has been established.

s9 The following, which we find
foating like wind-driven waif upon
the sea of American newspapers, with

Oh. a wonderful stream is the river of
Time,
As runs through the realms of tears,
With faultless rhythm and musical
rhyme,
And broad ming sweep, and surge sub
lime,
That blends with the ocean Of years.
How the winters are drifting like flakes
of snow,
And the summers like buds between.
And the year in the sheaf-so they come
and they go,
On the rivers breast, with its ebb and flow
AS it glides through the shadow and
sheen.
There's a magical isle on the river Of
Time,
Where the softest of airs are playing;
There's a cloudless sky and a tropical
cline,
And song as sweet as vesper chime,
And the Junes with the roses are stay
ing.
And the name of the isle is the Long Ago,
And we bury onr treasures there;
! There are brows of beauty and bosoms Of
There are heaps of dust, but we loved
/ them so
| There are trinketS and tresses of hair.
There are fragments of songs that nobody
sings,
And part of an infants prayer;
There's lutte unswept, and harp with
out strings,
There are broken vows and pieces ofrings,
And the garments that she used to wear.
: There are hands that are waved when the
fairy shore
By the mirage is lifted in air;
And we sometimes hear through the tur-
bulent roar
Sweet voices we heard in the days gone
before,
When the wind down the river is fair.
Oh. remembered for aye be the blessed
isle,
All the days Of life till night
When the evening comes with its beauti'
ful smile,
And our eyes are closing to slumber
awhile,
May our greenwood" Of soul be in

II. II. Stuart and j. n. Opie, OF Angus
ia county, Va, are rival candidates for
the Legislature Of that State, and made
speeches at political meeting held III
Stauuton on the 27th ult A corrsspon-
dent of the Richmond Dispatch says
that among some personal reminiscen-
ces related by Mr.. Stuart in his speech
was one connected with the peace ncgo-
tiatiors of the late Confederacy that has
never been made public. He read
note from Hon. Judah =. Benjamin, da-
ted March, 25, 1864, asking him to come
to Richmond for an interview with Pres
ident Davis on business, the subject of
which was too important to be commit
ted to paper. He went, and was inform
ed by President Davis that the Confed-
crate Congress had voted secret
service fund of 80, 100000 in gold, to be
used in creating peace sentiment at
the North. After looking over the
whole country the president" had Sc
lected Mr.. Stuart as the man for the
mission. lie was TO sail for Nassau and
thence for Halifax, and there, from the
border of Canada, could operate on
prominent men. The fund of S3.000,
600 was to be at his absolute dispo sol,
and he was not to be required TO fur
mish vouchers for its disbursements
Mr.. Stuart declined the tender, and G.
c. Clay, of Alabama, and two other
gentlemen were appointed. The Gree
ley correspondence and the "To whom
it may concern" Of President Lincol
followed this mission.

TERRIBLE EXECUTION eston, Ellis
and Thompson, colored, were all hanged
last week in New York, for the murder
of Wcisburg, the peder, in Septr last.
At $50 they were led to the gallows.
AS they stood on the scatfold, the at
tendant clergymen whispered few last
words in their ears, and the Sheriff S as
sistants fastened the ropes. No time
was lost, for at 1925 the Sheriff gave
the signal, and the weights were let go,
and the bodies OF the three murderers
were lifted into the air. A NEST horri-
ble scene then occurred. Weston died
easily; Thompson apparently suffered,
as his body Shivered from head to foot,
his breast heavcd, and he raised his arms
several times, working his fingers con
vulsivoly; but tie mode OF Elliss death
was the most cruel of all-At the last
momeur, after the moose had been adjust
cd, he suddenly turned his head and
disarranged the position of the knot.
Before it could be readjusted the signal
was given, the weight fell, and the knot
slipped and became fixed beneath his
chin, when lie began TO writhe terribly,
and placing his feet against the boards
at the side of The scaiftld, he attempted
to raise himself and relieve the strain
upon his ncck.-He then swung around
and convulsively seized Thonpson,w
was hanging next to him, and again en-
deavored to raise himself He even
succeeded in clasping his legs about
Thompson's body, and by thus easing
his neck was enabled to breathe more
freely and prolong his agony. he even
seized the rope just above the knot, his
arms having been fastened too loosely,
and as he did so, his handkerchief, which
was in his hand when he was swung i'll
the air, fell over his shoulder. He was
heard TO cry aloud, "Save mel aud his
breath was plainly discernible, as it is
said, beneath the black cap. which COW
cred his face. Strong men turned away,
and there were murmurs of Take him
down, aud Cut the rope, but fortunate
" there was no need OF double execu-
ton. In his struggles he again shifted
the knot, and the moose suddenly closed
around his windpipe, and he was stran-
gled to death
