MYSTERIOUS MOVEMENTS OF NINE FEMALE
FIGURES.
The Pal Mall Gazett.'s correspondent
writes Any one venturing out in the scorch-
ing rays of the sun toward noon on the 18th
of April at Suez might have observed a
curious procession vending its way slowly
and silently along the sandy road which leads
to the quay-wall at Suez. The assemolage
consisted of nine female figures in native
dress, carrying bright silk parasols and
iealously yelled by the bu kdh, or Egyptian
Ii
either side, couple OF government officials
led the way, while crowd of black slaves
bearing innumerable bundles brought up the
rear. On reaching the landing place the
party embarked on a native fishing boat, the
bundles were thrown in and the sail set. In
a few minutes the boat might have been seen
gliding gently down the creek toward
khedivial steamer anchored in the roads
with steam up and the green (blue) Peter"
fiyipy at the fore. From the time this
strange psrty came in sight until the boat
left the shore not a sound was uttered except

there to remain in strict coufinemen mt until
shipped to-day on board the khedivial
steamer Cherbin, bound Tor the X d Sea
ports. Rumors are rife in the bszars, but
they only amount to conf 4cturts, the prevail

woman, but a certain pasha, who for some
UNPUBLISHED crime has been banished with
his harem 10 the White Nile districts, from
whence so few return. At o'clock this
morning a special train arrived from Cairo
with a closed van attached. Ga this being
opened it was found to contain a prisoner,
apparently a Nubian, manac'ed and in
charge of two soldiers. This man was also
conveyed on board the Cherbip, which sailed
at sunset. Some hours afterward a telegram
arrived from Cairo countermanding his de-
parture and ordering his return to Cairo,
but too late TO be acted upon, as the ship
had sailed.
