TRAMWAY CONSTRUCTION.

Tub subject of tramway construction came up for final decision, at the meßting of the City Council, last night. Before the Council proceeded to discuss the Finance and General Purposes Committee's recom mendations with respect to the Offer of tho St. Heller's Bay Company, a letter, dated June 27th, was read, from Mr Pearson, of Melbourne, Btatine;, on behalt of the Crossley Telephone Company, that he hoped to be able to forward a tormal tender by next mail. A telegram from Reid and Duncan was also read. After this the recommendations of the Committee, as published by us on Thurs day, the 6th inst,, were read over, the only amendment made upon them being the following, which was moved by Cr. Thompsom :—" That instetdof Clause >7a (vie., " The City Council shall not charge municipal rates on any of the lines of tram- Tray ai indicated in Clause 1") the follow ing words be substituted :—"The City Council shall not charge municipal rates on any of the lines of tramways as de scribed,in clause 1, or on buildings actually required forjthe protection of rolling plant, —Tbis alteration having been made, and the ether clauses passed, Cr, Fhillipps moved, " That the report be adopted and the terms of the St. Heliei'a Bay Com pany accepted, subject to the conditions fixed by the Council.—Cr. Montague seconded the motion, and in doing co pointed out that Parson's system was one of wire trains, the cost of constructing which would be about £13,000 per mile.— Cr, Goldie movud, as an amendment, "That the wholo question of tramways etand over till this day month, with the view of having tenders trom Mr Pearson, of Melbourne, on behalf of the Crossley Telephone Company,betore the Council for their consideration." He said that as we were in the middle of winter, no work could bs done now, and that therefore no objection could be urged to a little further delay.—Cr. Thompson seconded the amend' meat. —Aiter a lopg and sharp diicussion, Cr. Aickin intimated that] he had no in tention of voting on the question.—Cr. Hemus spoke in favour of' n resolution being come to without further delay, The people wanted a tramway system, andjtfio Council had temporised with the matter too iong.—Cr. Montague followed in the same strain. He also, and Cr. Aickin as well bbW that the St. Helier's Bay Com pany were prepared to agree to the Coun cil's terras.—Cr. Fleming also expressed himself as desirous of coming to a resolution on the subject at once.— The amendment was put with the following result:—For (2) Crs. Goldie and Thompson, Against (5) Cre. Waddel, Phillipps, Montague, Fleming, and Hemus. •— It was therefore lost.—Cr, Goldie then moved, as a further amendment, — "That the matter be postponed for a fortnight." He regretted tin indecent baste with which the question was being determined, and, he alio thought itjunfair that'those of'the shareholders of the con tracting compaily who were inj the Council should seek to influence their colleagues. — The Mayor remarked that Cr.

Most of tho unarmoured ships are of small tonnage, and probably,their guns not being of heavy calibre, would be of little use for bombardment purposes. Of the ironclads the Inflexible, the only first chvs before Alexandria, is the most formidable. She was com pleted in 1878, is 320 feet in length, 75 feet in breadth at the water lino, and 'carries armour of a.total weight of 8,155 tons. Her power and strength lio» in a central citadel, 12 teet high, 110 feet lo»sr, and 75 feet bread, its walls of iron with teak backing being 41 inches thick. The Hup«rbis the only second-class ironclad present. She was originally constructad for the Turkish fleet, but was purchased by the British Government in March, 1878, for the sum of £452,895, In the third claas are the Alexandra, flag-ship of Vice-Admiral, Sir F.

Tho Alex andria was launched in 1875, and is similar to thu Sultan, though stronger, and with later improvements. The rest of the iron clads in the list given above belong to the fifth class. "Xhoy are of a now antiquated type, and their armament, str«ngth and speed are similar. All are capable of attain ing considerable speed, varying from 14 to 115 knots an hour, but they are unhandy, and chiefly suitablo for the protection or destruction of mercantile fleets.

THE WAR IN EGYPT-WHAT IT IS ALL ABOUT.

In view of tjio exciting events now trans, piciag at Alexandria, a largo amount of public interest has been evoked in Egyptian politics; and, as many people have a diffi culty in apprehending the true aspect of the political situation, a hurried historical sketch of Egyptian affairs may not lie unac ceptable, la order fully to understand the subject it is necessary to go back over a period of almost ten years, during which time events have been slowly ripening towards the present crisis. That the diffi culty is, at least, as much a financial as a political one is proved by the fact that the criiis had its origiu in a purely pecuniary queition. In 1873, the Porte granted a measure of autonomy to Egypt, and vast reforms were instituted in that country with a view to Kuropeanising it, which entailed enormous expenditure. The Khedive of Egypt, Ismail Pasha, was animated by the ambition to become a despotic ruler, and in ljis career of extrava gance and oppression he practically repudi ated the National Debt by appropriating no part of the revenues to the payment of the yearly interest. The English and Frtncti financiers,who were most interested in Egyptian bonds, took such steps as led their, respective Governments to bring diplo matic! pressure to bear on the Khedive,with g, view to their payments being secured. The consolidated deht of Egypt was at that timo over £80,000,000, and a sum of £6,000,000 was required to pay the interest on this amount, and as the total revenue of the country was under,^eight-and-a-half millions, ie will be seen that the condition of affair* was not very hopeful. The debt at the present time shows no decrease from the amount at which it then stood, although a temporary relief was afforded by the purchase of the Khedive's Bhares in tho Suez Canal by Britain for tho sum of £4,000,000, After several ineffectual attempts to place the Egyptian finances on a sound, basis, a satisfactory solution was arrived at by the Commission of Enquiry which sent in its report in August, 1878, and which was presided over by Mr Kivera Wilson. This Com mission, finding that the confused condition of Egyptian finances ar»so solely from the whole administration of the country being under the personal control of the Khedive, made a series of proposals for tha reform of the system,—said proposals embracing the presence of an English and a French re presentative in the Cabinot of Ministers who wore thenceforth to govern the country. The Sultan of Turkey,who exerci iied a nominal suseiainty over Egypt, was understood to acquietce in this arrange ment; and-Ismail P*sha gave the most solemn assurances that he would abide by , tha new order of thing*. In proof of his sincerity, he iresiflopd his vast private estate, knows as the Daiia, to the Govern ment, and called upon Nubar Pa«ha {an enlijhtened and liberal-minded, as T/pli as conscientious Egyptian statesman) to! form a Ministry. This was nearly e^uiva lent to granting constitutional Govern ment to Egypt, and had the scheme bsen iaithfully adhered to, the preient crisis would never have arises. In hla letter to Nubar Pasha, in August, 1878, calling on him to form a, Cabinet, the Khe dive state 3 that he took this step of his own free will, believing that it was for the good of the country that the principle of despotic rule should give place to govern ment by a Council of Ministers as advisers of the Khedive. In the Cabinet thus formed.Mr Rivers Wilson occupied the po sition of Minister of finance, while M. de Blignieres, the French representative, leld the portfolio of Public Works. Following up the recommendations of the Commission, to which the Khedive had bound himeelf, the Ministry set vig orously to work to inaugurate reforms of a sweeping character —much too sweeping to the.mind of: Ismail Pasha, -who in a few months dismissed Nubar Pasha from the Ministry, in the vain hope of nullifying the efforts of the Commission. But when ha proposed immediately thereafter to dis miss Eia;s Pasha, Minister of the Interior, Messrs iuy.ers Wilson and de .Blignieres protested, and appealed to their Govern ments. This brought affairs tp a critical condition in April 1879, and when later on, the Khedive attempted to dismiss the Anglo- French representatives also, the Porte in tervened its authority, and deposing Is mail Pasha in June, 1871), placed his son, Mehemet Tewfik Pasha (the preient Khedive), on tho vice-regal throne. The new constitution under which JSgypt has since then been governed, wait issued in a decree of the Khedive in Novembar, 1879, and providod for the supervision of all the de partments of state by two Controllers-Gen eral—one representing France and the other' England—with! power to take part in Ministerial deliberations, but not to vote. The representatives chosen'were M, de'Blignieres and Major Baring, K.C.M.G. Tewfik proved to be'a yery different'man from his predecessor, being devoid alike of the ability and the ambition of Ismailj ana he consented without any reservation to the foreign control of the finances of the country. This seemed to be the inaugura tion of a more hopeful era in Egyptian affairs. The country was proved fo be naturally wealthy, and quite able to main. tain its population in comfort, and at the same time to meet its pecuniary obligations, so that under the good system of GeVern meat adopted, » bright future was antici pated far that ancient laid, which was the cradle of the earliest civilisation of which any trace remains to us, - ■

But a lew disturbing clement appeared, and it is to the growth of this element that we .owe tae series of events which Lave led up to the prejent crisis, I his new element was the or Egyptian Party, which has grown up in opposition to foreign interference in the Government of the country, and in opposition to the Khedive iv so fur as he acquiesced in that control. Perhaps ttin repugnance of the Nationalists to Turkish rule is even more intense than it is to the Khedive or his "foreign" advisers. It ia, in short, a popular movement, havingforits watchword, "■Egypt for the Egyptian?;" and having secured a leader of great daring, ambition, and executive capacity, in Arabl Bey, the inoyerjie'nt rapidly extended and assumeti definite shape. Arabi Bey, from being an obscure army officer, has been Lome on the wave of popular agitation to the posi tion of the foremost man in Egypt; lie has beea made a Pasha, and has forced himself into the office of Minister of War, and vir tual ruler of the land. The Nationalist agita tion was by no means so easily dealt with as was the personal ambition of Ismail Pasha. Diplomatic pressure cau be brought to bear on a single individual, no matter how great his autocratic pretensions may be ; but no such pressure avails against a popular agitation. Hence the Nationalist movement in Egypt has daily gathered in strength, and instead of being retarded has rather been stimulated by the antagonism displayed to its aims by the Western European Powers. Early in the present, year, it may bo remembered that Arabi Pasha made a demand that the Chamber of Notables shonld have the complete cvntrol of the Budget. This demand meant, in effect, a return to the system which pre vailed four yoars ago under Ismail Pasha tho only difference being that the finances of the couitry were to be managed by the representative Chamber instead of by ths Khedive, ns wus then the case. In any event, the fo*cign element was to bo excluded, and there was reason to fear that the National Party would no moro respect the pecuniary obligations of the \ country than Ismail Pasha had been wont to do. The Khedive made a show of resistance to the demands of the in a tionalints, but he would have been coarctd into subtnisiiou had not France and Britain encouraged him to persevere, and offered him their insurances of active support in tbe maintenance of the status quo. The Sultan of Turkey at this time seemed to favour the National movement, and tie took up v position of antagonism to Britain and France, appealing against their action to the other European Powers. Probably the Sultan was jealous of thu Khedive, ami suspected him of intriguing with the Western Powers for a transference of his allegiance to them ; but there is no ground for believing that Xewlik Pasha bus ever indulged in such a dream. Though waxk and irresolute, Tewfik has con sistently maintained his allegiance to the Porto, and has kept good faith with the Western Powtrs; but it is evident that, but for the intervention of Britain and France, his very weakness might have led him to join the National nuvemeut, and throw off at one effort the useless suzerainty of Turkey, and the irksome tutelage of thd Western Powers. The Sultan has latterly been brought to see the true position of nfl'uiis, and has been co operating with France and Britain to secure the rc-cstubliilunent of his rule in Egypt. Bnt that ho has been in a greater or loss degree coerced into this way of thinking is evidemt from the many petty obstacles he has thrown in the way of a cordial under standing being arrived at. The aims of Arabi Pasha were frustrated in the early months of this year Ijy the firm attitude of the Wettern Powers, but though nominally withdrawing his demands, It is plain that Arabi has only been biaine his time and maturing his plans. He never lost sight of the primary object of the Nationalist agitation—the expulsion of foreigners ana the ruling of Egypt by native Egyptians. Having, as Minister of War, obtaiued complete control of the Ministry, he proceeded to ignore the Khedive, and to act as Dictator; tbe Khedive and his supporters boing too weak to oppose him, while the populace were kept in a high state of excitement by continual agitation. The crisis reached an acute stage in May last, when Arabi Pinna acted in open defiance of the Khedive, and ia violation of tho organic law of the country. At this time tho leaders of tbe National Party assured tho Foreign Consuls, in Alexandria, that there waa no reason to apprehend any danger to the lives or property of Europeans in that city; but that they would forcibly resist any proposed occupation by Turkish troops. The Khedive appealed to France und Britain for the material aid formerly promised by them; and the Sultan of Turkey again allowed his unreasoning jealousy to complicate matters, by addressing a note to the Governments of Italy, Germany, and Austria, asking what course they advised as to intervention in Hgyptian affaire. Tho iiultan made prepa rations for landing a force of 30,000 men in Egypt, wishing to prevent tho Westein Powers from arbitrating ia tho dispute, but Britian and France ttrenuoualy maintained their right to interfere, and compellad the Sultan to abandon his intention. After this came the eineute at Alexandria, when the populace showed their hatred of foreigners by killiag some and maltreating others. The Anglo-Frcich fleet was thereupon or dered to Alexandria to protect the »uro peans in the city; tbe Egyptians, under Arabi Pasha, resented this step, manned the fortifications of ths city, and insolently re pellnd all demands for satisfaction, hence the bombardment of Alexandria by the British ' fleet uuder Admiral Seymour. An we have only brief telegraphic accounts of the moro recent events, it is impossible to indicate tho diplomatic reasons which have induced the withdrawal of France from active opera tions ; but there can be little doubt that the object is to avoid European complica tions. In the whole coarse of the events we have recapitulated, Italy has shown a peculiar sensitiveness as to her claim to consideration in the settlement of the Egyptian question, and the interference of France she has always viewed with especial jealousy. Therefore, the single handed action of Britain has no doubt been revolved upon, as tho most simple and satis factory treatment of a delicate and com plicated difficulty.

liut, it may be asked, is a declaration ot •war justinablo at the call of a body of fin anciers ? (For, tracing events to their source, it will bo seen that this really is the rationale of the present dispute). To tbis a negative reply- must be returned. Great Britain, at any rafe, would never pnttr upon such an enterprise; and has repeatedly declined to interfere on behalf of influential holders of the bonds of South' America, and other States who could not obtain paymert of their interest. With France the case is different. Politics and financp jjwe in that country always been inseparably associated ; and the Republic may almost be said to be based upon certain large financial establishments. Therefore, the interest of the Frensh Kepublic in J?gypt is purely financial; b,u* against the powerful inpentive to interfere on that account there is the great disinclination of the French to do any thing which will place Egypt more completely under Turkish control. As we hare formerly remarked, the dispute is as much political as it is financial in its character. The French idea is to secure. complete independence for iSgypt j indeed, the majority of the European Powers have long been agreed that Britain should seizo Egypt and grant it a Constitutional Govern mant, when the other Powers would guarantee its. independence against Turkey. Bat Britain does not want .Egypt; nor, for palpable reasons, does she wish to make an eaemy of her old ally, Turkey, She has, however, a paramount interest in the preservation of peace and good government in Egypt; and it is this political con slticiation, much more than any pecuni ary question; which is the animating power of the British policy in Egypt. Wot only has England an enormous trade i with Egypt, but through that country isj her highway to Jndia, China, Japan, and the colonies of Australasia. It is a vital matter for England that the Isthmus of Suez should be held cither by a Power friendly to Britain or an independent State, guaranteed by the Great Powerp'of .Europe, and on no account can the British Govern ment allow it to be otherwise. It is for the preservation of these enormous interests that Britain has taken up arms—interests which far transcend the claims of French and British bondholders, or the great pro? prietary interest of the British Government in the Suez Canal, gigantic though these latter interests undoubtedly are; British diplomatists panaotagree to guaranteeingthe independence «f Egypt, so long as suflh an act would lead to her alienation fvom Tur key, and perhaps drive the latter Power to seek an alliance with Russia and Austria ; and for the same reason she cannot take any step calculated to overthrow Turkish sovergignity in Egypt, Ho riiatter how desirous France maybe of assisting in such a consummation, On the other hand, it was foreseen' that if Turkey were left alone to effect the pacification pf Egypt, the result was certain to be a prolonged struggle, leading, probably, .to the deatruc tion of the Suez Canal, and, perhaps, |er :

lainating in a victory for the Egyptians, who, averting their independence, would bo free to enter into a Kussiau or other European alliance inimical to the interests of Britain. Thus the war, though originating in a financial question, is an nil doubled political necessity, involving a question of vital importance to Britain's very existence us a nation. It is unfortu nate that the British power should appear to be exerted against the national aspira tions of the Egyptians for independent rule; but it will bo seen that no other course than the present was possible, consistently with British interests; and no doubt at the settlement ot affairs which will follow the present hostilities, Britain will join in in sisliug on a fuller measure of independence beisg accorded to the native tgyptians. Any freedom of control which implies a re pudiation o£ international obligations must, however, lie firmly resisted, and Egypt must be taught that in order. to enjoy the privileges of an independent Power, she must show a just appreciation of the duties irjeumbent upon an advanced and civilised State.

MR DENTON ON DARWINISM.

To the Kditor.)

Sir, —Mr Leys'sarticle on "Evolution,," in your laßt Saturday's supplement, contains some criticisms on my lectnrcs which re quire, I think, a few words In reply,—Mr L«ys thinks I laid too c;reat stress on the Pliscono age of tho Cxlaveras skull, and he nforms us that Professor Dawkius'e con; clusious regmdiug it arc entirely opposed to those of Professor Whitney. Has Professor Dawkini.then, been in California, and exa mined tho place where tho skull waa disovc rcd ? Has he cross-examined tho putties who found it ? Bus ho examined tho skele tons of extinct animals found asso ciated with it? lias he discovered any now facts regarding it ? He has done none of these tbiug.s, Ho has not even set foot upon the American continent, and his opinion is worth but little whon compared whh that of Professor Whitney, who was, for many years, State Geologist of Cali fornia, who baa the skull in hia possession, and who has carefully verified tho facts stated with regard to its finding, aud, along with his associates, has determined tho ago of the bed in which it was fonnd 1 I visited tho spot where the skull wns found, and talked with parties who were, well acquainted with the facts regarding iU discovery, and have particular reason for laying particular stress upon the treat ane of this ancient representative of humanity. I can scarcely think that Mr Leys heard my lecture on the " Origin of Man," und I am quite suro ho lias never read my work on that subject. If he had done either, 1 do not boo how ho could houestly charge me with advo cating the Darwinian theory; still lets could he refer to me as teaching that it had beon absolutely demonstrated. I am > o Darwinian, and never was, though I have been au. evolutionist' for more than 30 yeiirs. I lectured on the origin ot man many years before Darwin's "Origin of Species " was published, teaching then, as I teach now, tjiat there ia a spiritual tendency in Aature which, more than all else, has determined the advance of life along definite lines, until it has eventuated ia the organic forms with which wo are familiar, which I hare no doubt are repre sented in oilier worlds much as wo see them hero. Many of the very objections to Darwinism advanced by Mr Leys he m»y find in my work entitled "Is Darwin Right?" which I also bring ag*in«t Darwinism—a theory that I regurd as : radically defective. Darwin is right, I hays no doubt, when he teaches evolution, as had been taught long before him; he has never been surpassed as a careful observer, as a modest und conscientious writer ; and I do not tbiuk there can be any goud argu ment advanced against tljo doctrine lliat natural selection has been one of the factors in the production of spociec, though I am by no means disposed to believe that it has exerted the great inlluenoe attributed to It by Darwin and the Darwinians. The grand principle of evolution is taugbt by almost erery geological fact that is known to us, aad Mr Leys has certainly failed to advance ono particle of evidence to shew that any being was produced by direct creation.

SUPREME COURT.-Yesterday.

CRIMINAL SITTINGS,

(Before His Honor Mr. Justice Gillies),

Ul'PEll THAMES OUTJiAGE,

The trial of Epiha and Pakara, on the charge of shooting at and wounding William Francis McWilliams, at Upper '1 hanics, in 1579, was proceeded with at the Supreme Court after wo went to press yesterday. Tuo case concluded shortly after nine o'clock.

The jury, after twenty minutes, delibera. tiou, brouyhtjin a verdict of guilty against Epihn, and not guilty in the case of Pakara, the younuor prisoner, who was discharged.

Epiha, in reply to the usual challenge if he had anything to aay why the scutence of the Court should not be passed upon hiuij&aid : What oflence have I committed ? If they were tbose written in the Scriptures, the Scriptures say all sius were atoned for by Christ. That is all I have to say.

His Honor, in passing sentence, said : Epiha,—You have been found guilty of having been engaged in shooting at this survey party. Whether you were actively engaged in it or not is best known to your self. There is no doubt that you consented to it, nnd approved of it. Our European law allows no one to shoot another with a gun oxcept in defence of his own life. A man lias no ri»ht to shoot another in de fence of his land. If laud is wrongly taken, the law protects tho land. The law looks on this oll'unce as such a serious one that I cannot give a light sentence. If the re presentative of the Queen wishes to miti gate the sentence, that will bo^ his right. I can only administer the law. I can iu ilict no less a sentence upon yon than three years' penal servitude.
