The Slave Trade Flourisline in E9ypt,
From the London Standard
CAIRO, Sept. 2O.-Some time ago announced
that one of the first actions of the government
would be vigorous effort to stamp out the
slave trade; and now the work seems to have
commenced In earnest. Quite recently the gem
darmery succeeded in capturing near AssiOut q
large caravan, consisting of about two hundred
and fifty slaves: and now they have arrested Ali
Saidi. the chief slave dealer in Cairo He will
be tried by court martial In q few DAYS. Among
the slaves found in his possession were six
females-three Circassians and three negresses.
Five Of them received their freedom, but the
sixth-a beautiful Circassan girl-absOlutely
refused to accept the proffered liberty, her am
bition being, no doubt, to become the slave of
some wealthy Egyptian Pasha. It is not known
whether the future Of the five liberated girls has
been properly assured in fact the whole affair is
half enveloped in mystery, which isby no means
satisfactory.

an imprudent thing, SO she endeavOred to beat
