THE EGYPTIAN QUESTION.
The Deposition Of the khedive Deter
mined On.

CAIRO, June 26. Foreign Consuls visited
the Khedivc and informed him his deposition
in favor of Hahn Pasha had been decided
upon by the Porte. The khedive demanded
certain conditions, which were declared mad
missible by the consuls who consequently
withdrew offers of guarantee to Tewtik Pa
sha.
New YORK, June 20. A despatch to the
Telegram says the British and French Con-
suls had an interview with the Khedive at ;
O'Clock this morning, in his bed chamber.
When the question of his resignation was
preached. the Khedive fell into towering
passion and declared before he would abdi-
cate he would resort to arms. He absolutely
refused 10 listen to any suggestions concern
ing Helm Pasha as successor. Meanwhile
military preparations ate making aud com
plications are hourly expected. The report
Of the Khedive's departure for Constantine
pie to hand his abdication to the Sultan, is
therefore premature, and great excitement
prevails. ...... -..--

say the weavcrs will not work if new spinners
should be employed
Most of the mills are well provided with
filling, and can run some time Manniactur-
ers are very determined as to not employing
any of the old spinncrs. No disturbance. is
reported.

poverty, but persons without money have
been admitted by the generous superintend-

was our privilege to visit this institution and
witness several surgical operations performed

a family, and has heretofore received from
the State pension of So per month. Under
the present administration this has been cut
down to s. per month. This weeks Stand
ard attempts to justify this reduction, and
proceeds to represent Father Kennedy in
affiuent circumstances-thath his "sisttrs. his
cousins and his aunts all have pensions, that
he has a nice house, productive farm, and
that in fact the old fellow is rolling in
wealth, the next thing to being a bloated
bondholder. If the subject wasn't serious
one, it would excite only mirth from those
who know Elder Kennedy's condition and
that of his family-the constant and yiglant
struggle they have to keep the wolf from the
door, and the almost utter impossibility OF
keeping out of debt. No more worthy case
can be found for the bestowment of the
States benefactions. He sent forth his sons
to the war; they were the hope and pride and
stay of his old age. They both fell in the
service of their country; and now with
false idea of economy. the miserable green
