QUITE AN ACTION
LONDON, Aug. 29-G-n. Wolseley tele-
graphs from Kassasin lock: Major General
Graham, commanding this post, was at
tackled yesterday evening by about twelve
guns and eight battalious. Our men behaved
extremely well and inflicted severe loes upon
the enemy. At first Gen. Graham had but
five guns, two and a half battalions and
small detachment of cavalry and mounted
Infantry. Being reinforced by an
other battalion he attacked the enemy
in front, whilst the first cavalry brigade,
under Col. Sir Baker Russell, charged them in
the flank, sabrelng a considerable number.
The cavalry were well handled by Major
General Drury Lowe. General Graham's dis
positions were all they should have been.
His operations were carried out with the
GOODNESS for which he has always been well
known. Arab Pasha was on the field during
the action. The cavalry charged by moon
light, but were unable TO secure the rebel
guns which the enemy Withdrew during the
night. They left, however, all their ammu
milton. Our killed are Surgeon Major Shaw,
six marines of artillery and ons infantry ser
geant. The wounded are one major, two
captians, two lieutenants and fifty six men.
The porte now insists that Turkish troop
shall be permitted to land at Alexandrii and
urged that Alexandria shall serve as a com
mou base for British and Turkish operations.
The influx OF immigrants is causing the
question of water supply to be seriously dis
cussed.

ward Hawley, has been ordered to remove
