ALEXANDRIA, July 16.

It has been ascertained that Arabi Pasha escaped from the city by taking a boat down the Mahmondial Canal, and after proceeding some distance ho landed and fled into the interior. His exact whereabouts is not now known.

It now transpires that Arabi had not to resort to bribery, but it was the Khedive who bribed the soldiery, in order to escape from Kamleh Palace.

SUPREME COURT.—This Day.

CIVIL SITTINGS.

(Before His Honor Mr. Justice Gillies'.)

Clark V. Scott.—This was an action brought against Mr Scott, of Hobsonville, by Mr R. O. Clark, tor .damage sustained throngh tresspass on hia property, the damages being laid at £100,—The dispute arose in connection with a road through Clark's land, which Scott claimed as public. It was alleged that some time ago, the road in question was proclaimed, and plaintiff refusing to open it, the defendant dug up the posts, and took hia staff through,—Mr E. Hesketh appeared for the plaintiff, and Mr iheo. Cooper for the defendant.—ln his opening remarks, Mr Uesketh said the plaintiff would be satis fied with nominal damages, his desire being more to settle the disputed road question, and, show the defendant that he had no right to make a road through his property.— K. O. Clark deposed that he had resided on his farm at Hobsonville for the last twenty-seven years. He knew the land in the declaration, which he charged Mr Scott with trespassing upon. He held it under the Crown grant (produced), which was dated Jude, 1854. At that time, he had no neighbours within five or six milea. Mr Larkworthy came several years after him, and they agreed to put up the dividing fence between their properties. The fence still remained tbere. It was a ditch and sod at first, but after wards It was posted and. railed, and subsequently wired. Fenced in ten or eleven acres as paddocks. The fence, which consisted of post and wire, was still in existence. That fence came up to what they now claimed to be the line of road, and was continued a long way pa?t. He left Blip-panels fer his own convenience. Knew the defendant, who had been a netghbonr Of his for the last twenty jears. On the evening of May 16th, Mr Fcott came to his place, and after stating that the road had been proclaimed, asked him if he was going to open it. He replied that he did not consider it properly proclaimed, and therefore did not intend to open it. Scott retorted that he bad stuff to go through, and if witness did uot open it, he would. A day or two afterwards heiourjd thepost3 pulled or dug up, and that portion of the fence destrojed. He supposed that £2 or JE3 would put the damage to tights. He did not give permission to anyone to interfere with his fences. — The witness was cross-examined at some length by Mr Tbeo. Cooper, and several letters which witness had written to the Waitemata Connty Council were pat in and read.—ln answer to Mr Hesketa, the witness said they had been expecting for a long time that tbe Government would sur. vtfy a road through the place, and that they believed it would take the disputed line. The County Council had asked him to dedi cate the road, and he replied offering to de dicate it if they would fence it on both sides. This offer, which was made folly two years ago, had never been accepted. — 1 ' (Left sitting.)

MISCELLANEOUS.

Amongst those preseut at the sale of the Middle Park yearlings, on May 27, was the Hon. James White, who competed with Mr John Dawson for the half-sister to Leeds, by Wild Uats out of Steppe, and ultimately became the purchaser for 330 guineas. She "will, in a few days, follow her dam to New South Wales.

The land agitation In Skye is, it is seated, again assuming a serious aspect Following tho Glendalo tenants' action in forcibly removing stock from Walterakin Hill and grazing mid occupying It with their sheep, an attempted ejectment and deforcement is reported from Loch Carron. Two crofters were served with removal summonses oy an officer, assisted by a police t-erpeant and a constable. Una crofter di cliued to leave, but bis effects were re moved. An excited multitude, numbering about 100 men, accompanied by a piper, collected and attacked the oiliceis, compel ling them to retire. The effects were ie placed, and after vainly waiting for the return of the officers accompanied by rein forcements the crowd dispersed.

IRISH ASSASSINATIONS. Notwithstandiug the large reward offered for the arrest and conviction of tbe assas sins of Lord Frederick Cavendish and Mr Burke, the police arc absolutely as much in the dark as ever. Daring the past fort night there hava been a good m;iuy stories as to threatened at tempts on tbe lives of Cabinet Ministers, and several of our leading statesmen, and It ttcriofavery alarming character have been written to nearly every member of the Go vernment ; but little importance is attached to either rumours or epistles. The Fenian party in England, as far as their doings are known ny the police, a:e supposed to be very quiet, aad the impression nuw prevails that the double murder in the Pbccnix Park was not in reality part of a large scheme »f terrorism and revenge, but a mere isolated act. There was a big scare the other day, at Purfleet, where there aro no fewer than 60,000 barrel;, or abouc 3,000 torn, o! gunpowder stored, and where, in consequence of an anonympus intimation sent to the authorities the guard was increased, and extra pre cautions were adopted to prevent the possibility of a citaatrophe; ljut the general opiuion is that, while it is well for the authorities to be on tbe alert at a time like tbe present, tbere was no foundation for the alarm created.

t OETEWAYO,

The Government bare been taken, to task by the iripnds of CeteWayo, headed by the secretary to the -Aborigines Protection Society, for having promised to bring the ex-kitig of the Zulus to Eugluud, and then repudiated the engagement. Ppssibly the Government hate done rigbt in refusing to take any step that might seeui to indi cate an intention to reinstate the captive monarch; but it is unquestionable that they have broken their pledge, and the .Radicals, who opposed the doctrines of the btllicose party in South Africa, are ex ceedingly angry with Mr Gladitone's Go vernment for having given up their pro posal, and thus deprived the British metro polis of its expected "lion." In con nection with the question of aborigines, Mr Dawson, who is the author of a well-known book on the aborigines of Austrclia, is now in this country, and with the assistance of Mr F. W. Chesson is promoting a movement for checking the outrages on the blacks in Queensland and the remoter districts of New South Woks. The de tails of tome of these incidents, taken from newspapers, have attracted a good deal of attention here, and Mr Daw3on is receiv ing a considerable amount of support,

THE SOUDAN.

The Alexandria correspondent of the "Daily News," telegraphing on May 31, says :—"Thelatestadvices state thatauairs in the Soudan are worse than reported last montE. ■ The False Prophet was not killed, but is now at Fassoda. One of his apostles named Faki, when marching with 1000 men to dtstroy tbe town of Muselimia, was met by troops from Ghelebat, and totally defea ted. At Harar the False Prophet has captu red Mooderich Tinaar, and is said to have killed 1000 natives, nine officers, 90 soldiers, and four Greek merchants. At Karkdin, all the Europeans were forced to become Mussulmans to save their lives. Khartoum is quiet, but the few Europeans are in a state of panic."

DUNEDIN GIFT OF £200 FOR THE SALVATION AKMY.

The Salvation Army ceems to be going ahead at home overriding all difficulties, and " General" Booth is in receipt of money from all parts of the world. The Congress Hall at Lower CJaptoD, which coat over £20,000, is now paid ior, and a largo building has been taken on the Suirey side of the water, to be called the Camberwell Barracks, and the "General" says ho means, to -make the Camber well sinners pay for it. As illustrating ihe unexpected way; in which • help and encouragement is given to the move ment, "General" Booth read the following letter at a recent ineeiing in tbe CoDgresa Hall:—" Uunedin, Mew Zealand, April sth. Dear Sir,—Can you see your way to send to tho rescue of perishing souls in this respectable and highly-favoured city? Herewith please find draft £200. The Lord reward you and yours.—(Faithfully) A Wemavishxr." Another noteworthy fact, perhaps, is that the " War Cry" has now reached a weekly circulation 'of 280,000, and the children's paper, the V Little Soldier,",a circulation of 50,000.

New Zealand Frozen Meat.

The European Mail says : —"Undoubtedly the most important and gratifying event in con nection with the Australasian colonies since our last has been the arrival in the East India Docks of the sailing ship Dunedin, after a 98 day's passage, with 5000 carcases of sheep in first-class condition for the London market. The result was, of course, immediately tele graphed to the colonies, and much satisfaction will be expressed at the complete success of the experiment. As for the Smithfield sales men, they cannot speak too highly of the meat, which, as we write, is rapidly going into con sumption. The first lot of 6co were put on the market May 27, aud their bright colour at once attracted attention. Heretofore the sales of Australian meat have been entrusted to one or at most two salesmen, but on inspect ing the carcases half-a-dozen first-class salesmen offered to take large quantities, and the whole was very soon disposed of at an average price of a little over 6d. per Jt>., and this has been the ruling rate up to the present. The consignment, therefore is likely to turn out a grand success for all concerned. What is chiefly remarkable about these sheep is their uniform excellence and weight. The utmost care has evidently been taken not only inthe breeding, but in the killing and dress ng, and this was at once apparent to the Lon don butchers when the first vanload was un packed. The average weight of the sheep is Solbs., and. a number that were sent over as specimens weighed over ijolbs. One put in the scales on May 31 weighed I Solbs., and another I6zlbs. This is the kind of meat Englishmen require and will buy, and the re tail butchers have had no difficulty in getting rid of legs and loins at lid. and is. per lb. One salesman in the market was heard to say ' that the Australians might keep their merinos if the New Zealandcrs would continue to send home carcases equal to those per Dunedin.' "

England Learning from Aus tralia.

" Anglo-Anstralian" writes in the European Mail .-—lnstances are constantly cropping up where people at home find themselves in structed by Australia. A sporting paper has just drawn attention to race cards in order to show that Australians are ahead of us in the matter. The writer says : "In place of the clumsy card, neat little books are issued at the principal Antipodean meetings, containing the names, weights, and colours of riders, as a matter of course to begin with—a matter of course hi a double sense In addition to this there are some blank leaves on which the sportsman can pencil down bets, make notes, eic, and in a meeting extending over several days the results of the previous racing are printed for reference — a most convenient arrangement. To struggle with a newspaper in a high wind for the purpose of finding out what weight one horse carried yesterday, and how much another was beaten by, is trying to the temper, and necessarily involves the trouble of carrying the paper about in one's pocket. The Australian book is therefore ex tremely useful. In certatn cases the results of running which bear on the races of the day are included. Who will be the first to intro duce this capital idei at home ?"

EMIGRATION.

The European Mail observes :—" Sir Saul Samuel has been busy lately with immigrants. The £5 basis seems to answer fairly well; but as there are many good men who liaye not got £5 they take their labour to another market. Seeing, then, labour is wanted for New South Wales, and that, as a rule, it is reproductive, it may strike the Government that some relax ation, even on the .£5 basis, would tend to enrich the country. When people on this side read of the eagerness with which im migrants are hired on the arrival of an emigrant vessel, they naturally argue that there is no lack of employment in the colony, and are therefore anxious to go out there. When, however, really good men consult the Agent. General upon the subject, and when they are told that £5 is the passport to opening nego tiations upon the subject, it is really pitiable to obserre their dissappointment, and it is easy to see that though they have not the money by them, they would be only too glad to enter into a bond to allow it to be deducted in monthly instalments extending over six months from their wrges, "so that you see, sir," as one man observed to me, "our em ployers could refund it to the Government." What is wanted is that the Agent-General should be allowed some discretion In the matter, because to an ordinary observer it looks like an anomaly to deprive a market that really is in need of labour of the service of a good man because he has not got £5 in his pocket, when the chances are that, if he were sent out, twelve months after his arrival in the colony Jie would be in possession of £15. It does not follow because a man has not got £5 that he is not a good worker, or that he would not make a good colonist. Sekcaion is a matter of detail, and if any concessions were made favourable to emigration on a larger scale the Agent-General might be safely left to de cide upon the suitability of the men and women to be sent out."

Alliance Between Femanism and Nihilism.

A vague dread of assassination (says the "Home News") exists in London. The murderers of Lord Cavendish aud Mr Burke are believed to be in the metropolis, and the Prime Minister and Sir William Far court have been informed that thdr lives nre threatened. Twa facts ai c indisputablo : that the activity of Feminnism is universally renewed; and that Fent'anii are in close com municalion with the Nihilist and Socialist movemonts abroad. Police protection has become indispensable for every prominent member of the Government. Fonianism and its occult organisation are superseding the Land League..

OPENING MUSEUMS ON SUNDAYS.

Among the pther Parliamentary business of the past fortnight has been the rejection of a resolution in favour of the opening of the British^ Museum and other places of recreation on Sundays^ The motion was supported by 83 members, butits opponents numbered 208. It is somewhat remarkable that Mr Broadhurst, the working man member, should have stood forward as an opponent of the proposal on behalf of the working classes. Possibly the latter aro afraid that Its adoption would only be the first step towards the introduction into this country of a systim of employment on Sundays.

THE PRINCESS LOUISE AND HEX

HUSBAND,

The Princess Louise has once more set out for Canada, where she intends to make another effort to stay through a Canadian winter. None of the Koyal Family ac companied her farther than Euston, a matter which occasioned some remark ; but her departure for the other side of the At lantic bos allayed the ridiculous rumours which have been current /or some time past as to the terms of relationship existing between herself and the Marquis of Lome. I may mettion in connection with Canadian subjects that thejrf situation of Sir Alexander Gait has had nothing to do with his negotiations for a new treaty with France. Hit reasons for tbis step sire of a purely family character. He has long niched to return to Canada in order to pay more attention to his own private in terests than he has been able to bestow during his residence in London. The nego tiations with France have not, as I anticipa ted would be the case, resulted in any important forward step, but the debates in the Canadian Parliament show that in a vague and indefinite fashion efforts are to be renewed for special commercial arrange ments with France ■and other countries. This of course can only be done with the approval of the Home Government, and the interest: at first awakened in the subject ' here in England is gradually dying away,

DEFEAT OF AUSTRALIAN CRICK.

ETEKS,

The Australian cricketers have this week sustained their first actual defeat, having had to euccumb to eleven representatives of the Cambridge University, though their match with tho Orleans Club wus a virtual disaster. Their play in this oountry is not creating so much interest as was evidenced on their former visit, and the bowling of Spofforth, which at one time gained for him the title «f " The Demon," is not re garded with- the Fame dismay by his English opponents as heretofore. There is just a little fear that their locne play in the Cambridge match was attributable *o the fact that they have not been observing the strictest discipline. Mr Wake's letter in the "Times" respecting the double-dealing of some of the Eng lish cricketers in Australia has not been completely answered in all its details ; hut Ulyett's examination before the Marylebone Club is generally regarded as furnishing a satisfactory explanation; The case is not quite cleared up, and possibly either TJlyett or some one else will yet answer Mr Wake in a more detailed fashion, inasmush as at the time of Ulyett's appearance before the Marylebone committee Mr "Wake's letter had not been published. Bicycling in this country is becoming a "more'popular amusement thau ever. We had remarkable evidence of this when the annual rendezvous took place at Bußhy Pane a short time since. These annual gatherings have now been held for some five or six successive years, and on the last occasion no fewer than 2,000 bicyclists took •part in the demonstration,'

THE EGYPTIAN CRISES. - MINIS TERIAL STATEMENT TO THE HOUSE OF COMMONS.

In the House o£ Commons, on June 1, Sir Charles Dilke, iv reply to Sir K. Cross, said that in view o£ the interest which attaches to the preient state ot affairs in Egypt, and the contradictory rumours which are current it may be convenient that he should place before the Mouse shortly, but as far as the interest of the public service would allow, a statement of the steps which have been taken by Her Majesty's Government; since the adjourn ment of the House. The French Govern me»t have proposed to invite the other Great Powers and the Porte to agree to a conference to discuss the situation. Her Majesty's Government have assented to a conference to be held at Constantinople, the ba^s of its deliberations being the maintenance of the rights and sovereignty of the Khedive ; the upholding of the in ternational arrangement?, and tho arrange nienis subsisting under them ; the preser« vation of the liberties secured to the people by the firmans of the Sultan; the furtherance of the development of Egyp tion institutions ; and the settlement of tho measures necessary to restoio order. Keplying to further questions by Sir X, Cro3a, Mr Gladstone said that tho Govern rnent wore determined that the wisest course was to concert the measures above stated with the Powers o£ Hurope. It would, of course, bo our duty, the joint duty of England and France, who had been rxo3t distinctly concerned, to take the initiatixc In the meeting of the Powers; but he did not think it right that, before tho Conference meets.they should announce what p.oposal they intended to make. He thought the right hon. gentleman would agree with him. The aecend | question was with respect to the delay. Well, the Government did not b:lievo that any delay would.ariso. On the contrary, they believed that the course of affairs would be this : The conference, so far as they could judge, would be held at Constantinople, and would consist iv detail of the representatives of tbo Powers of Constantinople. 'Ihey would all be on the spot, all iv immediato communication with tho Porte and with the Sultan, aud at every point whence any measures that may have to be taken by the Sultan would proceed. The next ques tion was, what measuresthe Government had takeu for the securijy of life and property. Of course that 'was, as had been before stated, tho main object with which our ships had proceeded to the harbour of Alexandria. If the right hon. gentleman meant to. ask whether uny force had been landed from these ships, he would have to say that was not the caso, and ho (Mr Gladstone) ventured to give the opinion that unless in immediate expectation of danger, it WjS not very probable that the Admiral would land a force,inac<inuch as tho landing of a force would necessarily tend to compli cate the political situation. At tho sauip time it might be necessary for tho protec tion of life, and if so it would bo done. The next question wai, wtoat was the position ot the Khedive himself ? In respect to that, ho could only say that a telugrftin which he had nut seen, but which he had heard of, there being no time to make any copies of it, from Sir Edward Malet, iutimated that it was probablo that Arabi Pasha, who had completely thrown off the mask, would proceed to depose, or pretend to depose, the actual Khedive, and proclaim Uahm Pasha iv Ms place. fie (Sir Glad.-tone) considered without tho smallest doubt, the Government were pledged to the present Khedive, to the placing of whom on tho throne they were parties, and who, ho was bouud to say, so tar ds the Government were able at this distance to form a judgment on events which have been proceeding with rapidity, and without an opportunity of full aud mature coniidcration, had, in their j judgment, so far as they could form it, been behaving with perfect honour. As to tho terms of the joint representation to the SulUn, tbat wa% ho presumed, with regard to the vessel of war; that, he thought, had been fully within the declar ation made by Sir C. Dilko. Th» Govern ment were desirous, if the opportunity had happened, to lay tho papors ou the table, bui the right hon. gentleman would see that the Government would not be justified, without the sanction of the French Govern ment, in laying on the table the terms of the joint reptesenutiqo. There ".was a aebate on June 1 in the French Chamber on the crisis in Egypt—a debate which was chiefly remarkable for recantations of i/l. de yrejcjnet and o per sonal altercation bptween the Prpinier and M. Gambeita. An interpellation w»s brought forward by M. Delatosge, whq op posed M. dp Freycinet's policy as rash, iinr provident, capricious, injuiious to the in teretts of France, and perilous to her houour. Xb-js attacked, the Foreign JVlinister tuuintained that the policy of the Government was unchanged In support of the independence and poli tical stability of K|>ypt through tho Anglo-French Alliance, and, if neces sary, the European concert. He did not believe that France was in a mood to in. dul«e in a policy of adventure, iv state ment tbat created groat excitement in tho Chamber. Never, undor any circumstances, he further observed, would the Govorn. ment consent to a French expedition to Egypt. Military intorven'ion they would never s.inotion. The debate resulted in a victory for the Government, the Minister for Foreign Affairs having a votp of confid.enoo awarded to him/

Owing to the attacks recently made by the Chinese upon the Russian Kirghese in the Kuld. ja territory, and witli the view of preveuting their recurrence, the British Government have sent instructions to Colonel Lissowski.whdcom mandsin the district of Sergiopol, to station a military picket between Alakul and Kaptaga, and in case of necessity to move forward to Sallvk to defend the Kirghese against their Chinese assailants. Colonel Lissowsky has, at the same time, been ordered to avoid having recourse io arms except in the last resort.

SERIOUS ACCIDENT TO MR McLAUGHLIN.

an accident of a scriaus nature happened to Mr McLaughlin, of Fapatoitoi, and well known us master of the hounds, yesterday mprning. He was engaged working near a circular saw, when, by some unexplained meant, he sustained a deep. and nasty put on his left fore-arm, which is bo- Ueyed to have opened one of the arteries. He came in to the Hospital at once, where the injury was attended to by Pr. Cooper, and tho bleeding stopped. The hurt is be. Keyed to be of a somewhat dangerous nature.

RUSSELL, this day.

• The Rev. Mr Hawkes on his way_ from Whangaroa narrowly escaped drowning in crossing pne of the creeks, his horse having been rolled over by the fresh.

On the iiay the R.M.S. City of Sydney ltft Sydney harbour, Colonels Scratchley and spalding were visiting Bare island, Botany Bay, to inspect the fortifications in progress there,

At the weekly meeting of St. James's Mutual Improvement Association, well prepaied essays on "Early Typography" and " The Press," respectively, were read by Messrs B. V. Skeen and £. Miller, They were well received The mean temperature in the shade at Auckland in June was 54-8; the average for previous years 53*3,80 that the weather last monthjwas rather warmer than is usual at the same season. The rainfall was much heavier, being 5535 inches against an aver age of 4804, The number of days on which rain fell was 21, being the ordinary average for that month.

The man Phillip Manuel, who met with an accident on the barque Cabarfeidb, and was taken to the hospital, was considerably better to.day. His injuries are less serious than at first supposed.

The prolonged visitation of rigorous weather that we have had of late seemed likely this morning to give ont, but as the day advanced the fair promise proved de lusive. The rainfall of the past fortnight has been exceptionally heavy, and tho cold very searching. In all respects the present season is a strong contrast to last winter, tho mildness and geniality of which will not soon be forgotten. As one effect of the continued rains, we have had building operations somewhat slack, and there is consequently grumbliug amongst carpenters bricklayers, &c, We understand that the girl Gumby, whose mysterious disappearance from her home in Newton last, week led people ito imagine tbat an abduction haa been planned and carried out, was quietly married at the Thames yesterday to the man of her choice. The affair, there, fore, turns out to be merely an elope ment of a vory uneventful and there fore unromantic character. The parents, who are recent arrivals in Axickland. seem riot to have had the slightest inkling of their daughter's purpose, and until they were assured of her safety, were greatly distressed at her unaccountable ab'seuco, '■

SALE AT AVONDALE.

Wk would draw attention to the sale at Avondalo to-moirow, of Mr Aickin's pro perty,by MrK. C. Greenwood,at Dowden'« auction mart. The property is adjoining Kosebank, aud has been under cultivation fer the past 20 years. It h well situated for villa site", and is already well uuder cultivation.

CUSTOMS SEIZURE AT RUSSELL.

Information was received in town this afternoon of an Important seizure of contra band goods at Kusaell, Bay of Islands. It would appear the information was givon to the Customs officer there- Mr E. JtJ. Laing - and to Coustable McQovern that the American whaler Adelina Gibbs had on board a quantity of tobacco not mentioned in the ship's manifest. The two officials went on board aud dis covered 406tbs of tobacco, particulars of which had not beon entered on the mani fest, as prescribed by law. Tho t»bacco was seized, and will piobubly be con- Uscatiid. We made enquiries at the Custom-house to-day, but tho local aatho rities had received uo information of the seizure.
