No sooner was the nbdication, or rather
the deposition, Of the late Khcdivc of Erypt
accomplished than orders were given for
the royal yacht to lie prepared with all
speed TO convey him and his family beyond
the shores OF Egypt. No particular resi-
dcncc was indicated, and having a bcauti-
tul and spacious palace ut Cons,antinoplc,
his llighncss naturally wished to occupy
his own property in Turkey; but hostile
councils prevailed, and the Sutton re-
fused to sanction this arrangement. The
khcdivc's mother has II palace ut Rhodes,
and il was thought they might all 90 there.
Smyrna, too, was spoken OF, but at the last
moment Naples was fixed on, in which
| nc'ghborhoocl the late King OF Italy made
over property to the Khcdvc in part pay
mcnt OF large sum OF money advanced
some years since. On every account it
was desirable that the late Khc,liyc should
leave the country at an early moment, and
no one can complain of his departure being
| unduly delayed. The deposition was was
officially made known at three y. m on
Thursday, j unc 26, and in exactly four
days-namcly, at three p. m. on Monday
the 30tl--thc cX.monnrch was an exile.
Since Friday all hands have been at work
on the Mahronssa, perhaps the finest Yacht
in tho world. Having taken in a stock of
Goals, stores and provisions the yacht was
ready to receive the first detachment of the
! khcdivial harcm ut eight H. m the follow
ing Monday morning. They arrived from
! Cairo by special train. and sent on board in
steam launches and Dargcs. Most of the
ladies wore suitable travelling European
costumes, with light and elegant
wells, or apologies for ''yashmahs :" but
the servants of different grades wore the
tarha and llhatara Of the ordinary make.
The styles Of '"auty were as varied as the
toilets. Some of the ladies had hair and
complcXlons rs fair as those of English wo-
men. Others were Of the Spanish type
with black hair and eyes. Except among
| INC servants, none seemed over twenty five
years OF age; but there pcrvadcd among
them all listlcss and vacant look, as of
beings with no occupation or aim in life.
All the morning there was an inccsSant
hurrying TO and fro Of boats with baggage
and household goods, until Mt two p. m.
another special train arrived with the sec
ond and larger portion Of the harcm. In
This counted nine bargcs or boats between
the shore and the yacht, each containing
from six to eight women. Perhaps some
OF these did not go in the ship, but were
friends who aftcrward returned to Cairo :;
and many were merely ''hclps," in whom
beauty was conspicuous by its absence. -
Then came 1smail Pasha's three lawful
wives. The fourth, the mother of Prince
Iewiik, the present Niccroy, remains at
Cairo near her son. The scenes at the
Cairo railway station between those men,
bers of the harcm who were going, and
those WHO were staying behind, arc said to
have been hcart-rcnding, and it was with
much difficulty that the train could be start
ed. Although their life is one of sccusion
and confinement, they are accustomed to
every comfort; and doubt if at Cairo
any of the harcm had the least idea Of their
future residence; all they knew was they
they were leaving their friends and sur
roundings to be landed in some strange
country across the sea.
