1t is with feelings of more than ordin
airy regret that we record the death of W.
VI, Atherton, of Unity. On Sunday last We
made mention of his serious illness, and
expressed the fears INDUCED by his friends
that he would not recover He died Tues
day evening, having been sick but few
days. His loss will be seriously felt, es-

lived. He was an enterprising and sue

The audience that assembled to hea,
Commodore Rollingpins lecture, last night
was one Of the most select and intelligent
that ever assembled in Cairo. The threat

and sundry attractions elsewhere, prevented
many from attending who, otherwise, woult
