(By Aiu.ua)

As I possess a sort of pre.-.-enlintent that Egypt may some day become flic "cock pit" of the world over thislinsiert) Question. as Belgium va. ovico c mi-idcred to be over the balance of power then in Europe, I may add a few lines upon Turkey's so-called tributary States, commencing with the most historical ar.d C'iie: ia! e-i;u in Africa, viz., Egypt with its capital at Cairo. The present Khedive, or Kirn of Egypt, then, is the iifth ruler oi tiie dyne.-,;;.' of tho famous Meheniet Ali. who. from being Governor in 1806, made himself, by foice, master of Egypt in ISII. under gunrantcc of the Great Powers. The Khedive has now secured for himself the right to make foreign treaties and maintain armies, although he had to contribute a contingent to assist his liege loi d dining the present war. The government and finance of. Egypt—also under the shadow of the Koran are nearly as badly and carelessly managed as tliose of Turkey, and this oueslionable legacy of the past Egyptian King, still pays to the Sultan an annual tribute of £720,000 Pi ;dr_g. /nd now follows a sig nificant fact which I desire my readers to bear well iv mind. Ik-sides The; ten acres recently purchased for n so-called coaling station' at Poif ireuA ; he Oitish Govern ment posse.-;?, b> purchase also, 176*,G02 shares of the 1, iA,,Ai::: i.sui.d h.\ (he Suez Canal Comp.iiiy, the tmcces&ful untertakers of that -1.L,.i" iii Aim.tl-m -,l .valer-way, which is slowly, but surely, revolutionising the carryi-rr trr.do of the Ea-d and Aus tralasia.

The eom uany fiii'timr possesses lar-mtraeh, ot good land along tne bunks or the < anal, like many American nu'ioad companies have in the States, which arc gradually beingsold or leased. The Canal, in tho u-port oi 1875, has cost to that date about ii 111,000,000 sterling, ond th-1 total pro Jits, after paying all expeir- ss, were about half a million.

The elec tion oi Serviu's rider was also left to the nation, but under the nominal sanction of the Sultau.

Prince Milan is the present hereditary ruler, and icigns with the assistance of a Council of five Ministers and two Chambers, the nominee Senate however, sitting all the year round. The capital is Belgrade, and tho principal export is live animals, chicily pigs, which feed upon large tracts of acorn-covered laud. Servia, like our " King "_ country, is yet undeveloped for Want oi internal roads. Ilappy Servia, however, it is yet innocent of that modern luxury— a foreign loan account. Its tribute to Turkey is £20,010 sterling a year. Such is a slight sketch, then, of three of Turkey's badly-reared off spring, and if they have raised post obits and discounted, the future, the result certainly justifies their foresight, if not their uhdiuifuiness to a neglectful parent. The Turkish Conscript Fathers have, indeed, eaten sour grapes,and the children's teeth are set on edge.

HOW THINGS ARE IONE IN THE KARAGAHAPE DISTRICT.

(To the Editor of the Ev__iko Star. •I Sir,—l wish respectfully to bring under your jf notice the way the public s flairs of the rate payers are managed in the ttbove-named dis- Itrict. About twelve month,, ego there was a mean, underhand r.ftemp;. miido to force tho dis trict into a borough, the boundaries of -which were to include certain choice portions of the districts ol Arch Hill and Newton without ac quainting either the ratepayers or the adjoining A Boards, and A w.-.s by nien- accident that.the | I matter became public after tho petition had been some weeks ia Wellington. The attempt i has again b en read:-, on a larger scale this time, I including tie- whole of four districts, and the A choicest parr of another, namely: tne Water works' site ui.il adjoining reserves, bat the mode of operation.:, as far as i__._i>_al_>pc District is concerned, h_s been tiie same. The rate payers have been treated with contempt '■■ by tb.030 whom they elected trustees, and who have attempted to deprive the rate i i payers of certain rights and privileges, and to [ i substitute otners vv.lh.-ut-mat consulting them. ; But the opna-:iti--n par'y to the borough have not been idle. After the hue meeting they went quietly to work to collect sigmi.uios. and the result is a --.jtnion te Wellington, which will again quash ihe borough. At the same time I ; j firmly believ-_ if the trustees baa eop>ulted the ratepayers before tpking any retion m the j matter, that four-fifths of them wouia have been i! in favour of i-be borough. But. sir. (he west I has yet to be told. The trustees held the last ' trump-card, namely, the pnr.-o _.rmgs. _Rom the tone of the lato macling their chnnces of I being re-elected as trustoe3 would i,e very small. : Thoy have decided to fix their suooe :.ors before i retiring.
