is in the extreme northwest corner of

Paris and Parker, where the engineers

The Mark Lane Express, in its review
of the grain trade during the week, says:
A disaster equal to that of last year is
not now possible, but is evident that a
large proportion of the crop may be
seriously damaged. The stocks are large,
and prices have fallen. For off coast
there was scarcely any inquiry. There
were fourteen arrivals and six sales.
Business in cargoes on passage and ship
ment was dull and values lower. The
floating bulk increased. Fine mailing
barleys were scarce and prices higher.
The sales of English wheat the past week
were 26,6l9 quarters, at Ats Sd, against
against 2l.l30 quarters at 55s I'd for the
corresponding period last year.

The English Eclipse Expedition.
From the TjmeS.)
CAIRO, May %.

CAIRO, May ~.
The eclipse is over, and the mem
bers of the different missions have
arrived at Cairo on their return home,
They all seem satisfied with the
result of their work, and it is proba-
bic that when their observations are
properly discussed and reduced it
will appear that this eclipse, although
the shortest on record since the time
that the value of eclipses has been
properly recognized, has given us as
great a harvest of freshand important
knowledge as was on former occa-
sions secured during a much longer
duration of totality. 1t is in the first
place due to the great and valuable
help which the different expeditions
have received from the Egyptian
Government that the preparations at
the critical moment were complete,
and that such uniformly good results
could be obtained. It is a fact which
certainly seems worth noticing that
at a time when disquieting rumours
filled the air, when Europeans left
Cairo almost in a panic, when the
English and French fleets were order
ed to proceed to Alexandria, and
when nobody knew what changes in

i%nsanely DESTROYS to regain a footing in
Egypt, and thereby; among other results;
strengthen his weakened hold on Mecca,
and many incidents in the Struggle seem
to warrant the belief. Arab would hard
" venture to face the Western Powers,
unless sure Of some support which ne HIM
self regarded as all powerful. The Khe-
dive is evidently alarmed at some %inteIli-
gence from Constanlipople, and earnestly
PROCESSES a Loyalty which is not in queS-
ton. The managers OF the Wakt funds
would not have sacrificed their wealth with
out being quite sure that 1t would b agree
able to the Khnlif, towards whom they &C.
cupy much the position Of monks IN the
middle-ages towards the Pope. Above
all, the Austrian Court, which just now
has at ~ConstantinOple one sovereign pre-
occupation, to wheedle the Snltan out OF a
formal cess on of Bosnia, would not, except
to crafty the Sultan, be pleading daily
that only Turkish troops should be EN-
ployed to pacify Egypt. The evidence OF
collusior, between YiIdiz Kiosk and Arab
Pasha is strong, and if it exists the Sultan
must intend, if his troops are employed,
never to relax his hold upon Egypt again.
He will, if France and England are driven
to ask his aid, either refuse it except upon
conditions fatal to the future Independence
of Egypt, or grant it readily; and when his
troops are in Cairo, rely upOn AuStr0-Gtr-
man support not to be compelled to recall
them until he pleaseS. Lord Granville and
NJ. de Freycinet are, therefore, face to face
with this problem. They cannot simply
retire without openly surrendering Egypt
to Arab, and they cannOt-Or at least
Lori Granv lie thinks sO-riSk the dan
gers of combined intervention they must,
therefore, employ Turks, and yet IT
they employ Turks the forty years OF
effort by which the Question OF Egypt
has been separated from the general East
ern Question will have been thrown away.
The Sultan will be master OF Egypt and
the Canal, and what is much more serious,
will be able at almost any moment TO pay
off France against England, and produce
an irritation fatal to the only valuable
alliance of either country. That VIII De q
most serious position, and we do not won

been momentarily pprceptible in the coun-
sells of the Western Powers, and especially
in M. de Freycinet'S Cabinet, where the
Ministry have to dread hot only the result,
but Al, Gambetta'S Out-sp0ken denunCiati0n
of the whole proceeding as derOgatory alike
to French and English honour,-to French
honour, because the Sultan is their enemy
in Africa to English honour, because our
first object in the East has been to rescue
provinces from the Turk. The Press is
wise to initiate Parliament, and allow
Lord Granville fair,pIay; but we greatly
fear that the immediate 'settlement" of
Egypt will be the beginning of new com
plications. There is only one comfOr' in
the prospect. The Bondholders, whose
greed is the original cause of the whole
mischief, will find a Turkish sentry over
the Egyptian Treasury fatal to their
hopes.

and the English Expedition took up
their quarters in it. AS the day APP
preached more dahabeeahs came
up the Nile, and anchored close
to the observing station, giving thus
a lively charm to the scene, which
the tents, observatory, and soldiers
camp had already made sufficiently
picturesque. One of these boats, the
comfortable arrangements of which
must be familiar to every traveller
ON the Nile, brought Mahmoud Pasha,
the Egyptian astronomer, who under
took to determine the times of con-
tact during the eclipse. One of the
most characteristic features of the
camp at Sohag was the cordial friend
ship reignirg between the missions
of different nationalities. As a rule,
when an eclipse or a transit of Venus.
brings different nations into the same
neigkhourhood, there is q desire to
separate rather than unite, for the
very important reason of securing
the greatest number of chances for
fine weather. But in Upper Egypt
the weather was perfectly safe, and a
considerable si~mplifcation of all ar
engagements was introduced by the
union of all observers into one camp.
The result could not have been more
satisfactory. A formal interview be-
tween the different expeditions took
place before the eclipse, in which
every astronomer explained his pro-
gramme. In this way the common
error of multiplying too many obser-
vations of the same nature and neg
lecting others altogether was avoided,
and when a similar interview took
place after the eclipse it was nund
that the different observations fitted
into each other with almost unex-
pected nicely.
1t is difficult to give description of
the eclipse itself, and everybody who
has had the good fortune to witness
one will find that no description which
he has read had in any way prepared
him for the strange and exciting spec
tacle, 1t is indeed only when TWO or
three eclipses have been witnessed
that the phenomenon becomes sufi-
GENTLY familiar to be completely en-
joyed. Its distressing effects on ami
mails have been often noticed, and it
has always been found advisable to
take strong measures for avoiding the
intrusion Of the easily excited popula
ton into the scientific observatories.
Thanks to the efforts of Colonel
Moktar Bey, aided by the local mill
tary authorities, soldiers were posted
at intervals about the camp to pre-
vent any one who was not actually
engaged in scientific work from ap-
preaching the o~bservatories, and the

ed from a crowd of SPECTATORS at {
very respectable and safe distance.
The first contact took place a little
over an hour before totality, and as
the moon proceeded on her voyage
across the solar disc, the air became
cooler and dark shadows were seer
to cover the horizon. The observers,
drawing each others attention to the
strange effects of illumination, invo-
unfairly reduced their voice tn q

Nile, mixing freely with the native
population, aided to the utmost of
their power by everybody concerned,
and personally assisted by high Off
Gals, who discharged the duties in
trusted to them by the Khedive un-
disturbed by the political agitation
and apparently uninrerested in the
changes which threatened the Egyp-
tan Government, and which no
doubt would have one way OF ano-
Their involved their own fortunes, and
might have produced a serious change
in their position. Each expedition
had an Egyptian official attached TO
it, and they all recognize the great
help which they have received in
this way. Ibrahim Esmatt Effendi,
a member of the Khedive's house
hold, was with the English party,
while AbdeI Razik Ehendi, an assis-
tant astronomer at the Observatory
of Cairo, helped the French expedi-
ton, which was fitted out by Mr..
Bischoffsheim. Professor Tacchini,
representing the Italian Government,
received in the same way the aid of
Kalile Efendi, another assistant at
the observatory. 1t is, however, to
Colonel Moktar Boy, in the first place,
hal the thanks of every body who
shared the Khediye's hospitality in
the camp at Sohag are due. 1t is TO
him that the welfare of all the par
ties was entrusted, and there can only
be one opinion about the way in
which he discharged his duties and
always found an effective remedy
when, owing to unavoidable acct
dents, an instrument had to be re-
paired or any trouble occurred.
The French astronomers were the
first to arrive in Egypt, and to them,
therefore, naturally fell the difficult
task Of fixing the site Of the observa-
tories. They were unusually happy
in their choice; for not only did the
result prove that the line OF greatest
duration of the eclipse must have
passed right through or exceedingly
near the observing stations, but local
circumstances of position greatly
facilitated the work. Although the
astronomers were sufficiently lucky
to escape the hot khamseen winds
generally blowing during the month
of May and the cyclones of sand
which would have been fatal to every
delicate instrument, short but violent
gusts of wind coming from all points
of the compass often filled the air IN
the neighbourhood of the observato-
ries with dust, which formed the
greatest danger to the success Of the
expedition, both before and during
the eclipse. But on the eastern side
the camp was protected by the Nile,
and towards the west a grove of trees
and a cornfeld afforded a similar pro-
lection. A number of w~atercarriers
laying the dust at frequent intervals
in the immediate neighbourhood did
the rest, and thus the Inconvenience
which otherwise would have arisen
from dust and sand was e~ffectually
removed.
A steamer was placed by the Egyp-
tan Government at the dispo'al OF
