NEWS NOTES.  rWo dorm It rioht to state that we do not Identity our aolvos with our Correspoudeut's opithous..7  ONSERAL GRANT, who visited Egypt in the course of his four round the world, has expressed his de id d opinion that hat o ntry will never Foster nor have its resour. es properly developed until it comes under the protectorate of Britain. ThiB opinion is no doubt :Tiered by most of our own statesmen, who would be glad of any pretext to get rid of the French alliance, and who feel that a very uns,tisfa tory state of things exists, while the oth r European Powers have a certain valid p'ea sr th..ir constant diplomatic intermeddlings. The British Goes rnment, who made a new deperture in their Eastern policy by the born, ardinunt of Alexandria, have now an opportunity, by follow 'n I. up this initiative energetically, of totting the Egyptian quest:on at rest.  DocusinNye of a compromising nature have been form! showing that Itervish Pasha, whom the Porte has tent as a commissioner to Egypt for the ostinsible purpose of restoring order, was keeping up secret communication with Arald I asha at the time when he affected to be zealously working in the cause of the Khedive. This treacherors conduct on the part of their representative faithfully reflects the duplii ity ethiblt d by the Porte in all the diplomatic negotiations relating to the state of affairs in Egypt. It is surely high time that thesuzerainty of the ltan over Egypt thoutd come to an end when Arabi, who gave the orders for the wanton destruttbri of A'exandria, received encouragement frcm Constantinople.  Mm GrarwrowE has asked the House of Commons for a vote of credit for the purpose cv defraying the expense of strenghtening our forces in the Nlediterranmn. As the troops now actually in Egypt. or on their way thither, should suffice to make short work of Arabi and his army, it may Fe assumed, from the extensive war preparations still Loing on at Woolwich, l'ortsmcc,th, and other places, that the Government have contingen ies in view which may include a rupture with Turkey.  Loan CHARLES BERESFORD, who is in commend of the Marines and sailors doing police d ty at Alexandria, is one of the foremost he oes of the day. He it was who directed the gallant feat achieved by the Condor, during the bombardment, and for which, it is announced, ho is to receive a decoration. I.ord Claud Hamilton has held him up to the boys if the Conway as a model fo imitation. lord C. Beresford belongs to that . lass of men whom eommanders-in-chief entrust with the most difficult enterprises, believing that they will be succeesfally accomplished.  Tits English eight gained the Elcho Chagenge She'd at Wimbledon, with Ireland second, and Scotland third. Ireland had 'noxiously won the Shield thrice in succession. In this competition for some years pact the Scottish teams have been rather unfortunate, though Scotland has otherwi-e scored great successes in winnMg the International Challeni;e Trophy, for which three teams of twenty each competed at the ( 'owlais rifle-ground near Glasgow, and in carrying off at Wimbledon the Queen's Prize, gained by Sergeant Laurence, of Dumbarton.  THE Canadians have some reason to be satisfied with the success which they attained this year at Wimbledon. One of their number succeeded in winning the Prince of Wales's prize, which has a money value of tlOO. They also received cordial ri cognition from the Prince and Princessof Wales, the 0 he and Duchess of Connaught, the Duke and Duchess of Albany, and the Duke of Cambridge, whin their Royal Highnesses visited the camp. l'erhaps the fact of the Princess Louise being the wife of the Governor-General of Canada had some influence in causing the Royal visitors to take marked flrteMt in the Caneclui riflemen.  THE eirtumstances which led to the recovery of the stolen oody of the late Fan l of Crawford and Balcarres might have their place in some romance, deriving its interest from some striking incidents. The body - snatchers, seeing that they were baulked of their expectation of obtaining ransom money, had evidently resolved to lay the ecrpse, which the embalming process still preserved entire. in a shallow grave near Drnecht House, where it might have the chance of being discovered and restored to the family vault from which it was abstracted. The crime of body-=natching is not likely to receive much encouragement from this strange episode in the annals of Punecht House,  THE Queen is always considerate in her messages of congratulation, condolence, or sympathy. She ordered her thanks to be telegraphed to the officers and men of the fleet for the gallantry they had displayed in the bombardment of Alexandria, and also her sympathy to be communicated to those who were suffering from the wounds they had received. Her Maiesty has also congratulated the Earl of Crawford and the widowed countess upon the recovery, after months of anxiety, of the late earl's body, and has likewise expressed her condolences for the rain and trouble caused them by the sacrilegious theft of the revered remains from the family vault.

AN INQUEST has been held at Whitby by Mr. George Buchanan, coroner, at the Lifeboat Inn, Robin Hood's Bay, on the body of Thomas Hodgson Pickering, farmer. It appeared that deceased had been in a despond. ing state of mod for some time past, and the fact of the new line of railway being about to pass through his land seemed to affect him greatly. A few days ago he left his home for the hayfield, but appears to have gone direct to an outhouse, where he hung himself. He was cut down by his son. The verdict of the jury was that decease I committed suicide while temporarily insane.
