Egyptian Finance,

The subject of Egyptian finance is coming \o:y prominently to the fore. Mr Edgar Vincent, who will arrive in this country in a few days, is coming| over n ami/ fcr the purpose of negotiating anew loan. Upon his nrrivnl here there must of very necessity bo a recasting of tho whole subject of Egyptian finance, for notwith standing the voluntary reductions in their salaries which have been made by the Khedive and many of the English officials, it is uttorly impossible that Egypt can con tinue to meet the drain which the present system involves. It is not expected that the English Government will guarantee the payment upon tho new Egyptian stock, but their patronage may go a long way towards securing its favourable reception upon tho English market.

Baker Pasha. Ti ik agitation in favour of Baker Pasha's restoration to the British army continues to increase. Even " Punch," which was terribly severe on Baker Pasha at the time of his disgrace, has this week taken up his cause and published some very stirring lines upon his achievements in Egypt, and his endeavours to wipj out the stain which has hitherto attached to his name. The Prince of Wales is understood to be strongly in favour of the gallant Pasha's restoration to tho British army. Public opinion generally is not unfavourable to a white washing "of this gentleman, but his rein- FtallatiunJ as head of his old regiment, the Tenth Hussars, would meet with very little approbation. Her Majesty, the Queen is the chief obstacle to Baker Pasha's restora tion or advancement, and that upon legal rather than personal grounds. The Prince of Wales is Biiid|to have the intention of going to Egypt. Of course ho will meet Baker Pasha there, and the result may be tin increase of pressure upon her Majesty to induce her to consent to that gentleman's restoration.

Homo Rctorm, So much time lias been wasted over the Egyptian business that the prospect of at leu.st two important Government measures aroj-criously threatened. Mr Chamberlain's Merchant Shipping Bill has bucli a powerful phalanx of vested interests arrayed against it, with which, of course, the Tories have joined, that its passago this session is very doubtful. The measure is undoubtedly a much needed one, nd finds great favour in the eyes of the British public ; but Mr Chamberlain has rather wantonly aroused hostility in quarters where it could have been avoided. Of course, the union of tho Conservatives with the shipowners to wreck a philan thropic measure will furnish the Liberals with an admirable party cry in their autumn campaign. With regard to the other measure, the London Municipality Bill, it is thought that it will have to be thrown overboard simply from scarcity of time. The Conservatives, who are endea vouring to spin out the Egyptian debates in order to delay the progress of the Franch ise Bill, had held a Meeting upon this tub ject, and in order to ingratiate themselves with the country seem disposed to take up the question of woman's suffrage. This however, though a very praiseworthy eub jeot in itself, is not one upon which it is pcsMblc to arouse any great amount of pub lic enthusiasm. Within the last few days the Conservatives as a body have certainly shown a little more vitality, Lord Salis bury lias been endeavouring, not altogether unsuccessfully, to infuse a little of his own spirit into them. The consequence is that poor Sir Stafford Northcote sinks more than ever out of sight.

Salvinl as Shylock. Sigiior Salvini does not .sustain the repu tation as nn interpreter ofjjthe Shakesperian drama which his "Othello" procured for him. His impersonation of "King Lear" last week was not a success, and the same must be fraid of his "Macbeth." It is worthy of note, en pansanl, that when Irving whoso " Hamlet'! was universally pro nounced the finest thing ever seen on the stage, etsayed "Macbeth," he made a com plete failure of the part. In the case ef bignor Salvini it would be difficult to say, without seeing his "Macbeth" several times, whether the fault lay in tho acting, in the conception of the character, in an imperfect knowledge of what is teehanically termed tho "business" of the part, or in defective scenic arrangements. The latter indeed were most execrable. In the first three acts Signor Salvini is undoubtedly very tine, but he flags so perceptibly to w.ird? the cioi>e that the impression pro duced is that of weakness mixed with a certain element of the grotesque. Signor Salvini is no |;upported by a very good com pany, though the lady who took the part of Lady Macbeth performed it very creditably. A rather ludicrous aspect was given to the fa nous sleeping scene, when Lady Macbeth comes on tho stage in her sleep, by the man in the prompter's box beginning to snore in most stentorian tones. Sureiy it is very un gillant to suppose that Lady Macbeth snored because she happened to be asleep ! At tho close of Signot Salvini's engagement at Covent 6arden he intends to make a short provincial tour, visiting a few of the principal cities and towns.

The Czech of Bohemia. We have a fresh musical star in the firmament just now in the persan of Herr Antonin Dvorak, whom somo of the paperc called a Czech of Bohemia. The appella tion " Czech" puzzles our newspaper writers to an inconceivable degree, and most of them appear to labour under the delusion that a Czech belongs to some totally distinct type of humanity like an Aryan or % Semite. As a matter of fact, the word "Czech " is simply a nickname for the Slav population of Bohemia, or in other words, for the Bohemians in general, just in the same way as " Mounseer " is a nick name for tho French, and " Hans Breit mann," a pseudonym of the Germane, Herr Dvorak lias been giving hs some very good specimens of his musical powers during the present week. Herr Pachmann, the pianist, is now in tho provinces, and tho provincial critics do not quite give him tho commondation which he received in the metropolis.

Statue of Burns. Tho architectural embellishment of the metropolis still continues. A patriotic Scotchman has made the offer tc the Metro politon Board of Works of a statue of Bums, to bo placed on the Thames Em bankment, and we are shortly to have four voty fine equestrian statues upon Black, f rrias Bridge. These will be the word res pectively of Mr Boehm, R.A., Mr Brock, Mr Onslow Ford, and Mons. Longterre, an assistant of Mr Boehm.

Suez Canal. The convention entered into last Novem ber between M. de Lesscps and the Coni mitteo of British Shipowners was ratified this week at an extraordinary meeting of tho shareholders of the . Suez Canal Company after a very stormy debate. The great Ferdinand himsolf came in for a tiood deal of hissing, and the three English directors—Messrs Wilson, Stokes, and Stenden—were made the subject of some marked demonstrations of hostility. M. do Lesseps, however, is nothing if not a diplomat, and accordingly he managed to soothe the irritated feelings' of his share holders, and, by dint of strongly insisting that it was within the power of tho Board to terminato tho existing agreement whenever it chose, ultimately succeeded in getting a majority of about 80 votes,

Stanley Exploration. This week we have had some news of Mr Stanley. It appears that aftor a five months' absence that gentleman roturnedto Stanley Tool about the middls of last month, having successfully established stations along tho Congo up to Stanley Falls. He had everywhere been well received, and, .in addition to the establish ment of stations, ho had made the discovery that tho Ourounga, the most important coniluont of the Aruwimi, is a navigable river. It appears that hostilities had broken out between the natives and the French, Dutch, and Portugese traders on the Lower Congo. The trado caravans were plundered and the carriers killed, and an expedition of traders to punish the marauders was defeated. However, an expedition des patched under the auspices of the Inter, national Association succeeded in inflicting a severe defeat upon the natives. Tho last heard about M. de Brazza was that he and two white men had arrived safely at a point about 130 miles above Bolobo. The in habitants of the village of De Brazzaville have petitioned to be taken under the pro tection of Mr Stanley. Colonel de Winton, formerly military secretary to the Marquis of Lome, has been appointed by tho King of tho Belgians to the office of Governor and Administrator of the work of the Inter national Association on the Congo River. An interesting art ealo, practically the first of the season, took place at the end of last week. The lots consisted of the valuable Sevres china collection of the Mar quis of Donegal, together with some fine water-colour drawings by Mr Cosmo Orure and Mr Sutton. A good deal of anxiety waa expressed among friends of art as to how tho water.colours would sell, but, con trary to expectation, they went off very well, one picture fetching as much as eleven hundred guineas,

The commemoration of tho hundredth; anniversary of the signing by John Wesley of the Deed of Declaration will take place in England in next June, nnd it is expected that a celebration of the event in the United States will come off at the same time. It is intonded in America to cele brate the event by raiding a fund of 2,000,000 dollars, to be divided equally be tween the missionary el urch extension Bicieties and various educational bodies. In addition to his "white" elephant the indefatigable Barnum has secured the services of a Burmese brass band, which will shortly;embark from its native country for New York. Those who have heard the performances of this band say that it is the finest sleep-destroyer and ear-breaker they ever met with.

St. Jacob's Oil Invincible.

(To tho Editor of Evening Star.) ' Dear Sir,—l wish to add my testimony to the efficacy of the great German remed7, St. Jacob's Oil. Your columns have contained, from tima to time, expressions of gratitude from personsot known respectability, and having satisfied my. self of the genuineness of the cures effected, I obtained a bottle, scarcely hoping it would sue coed in relieving me. For tho past seven months I have suffered severely from a pain ful attack of sciatica, which, in spite of tha most able treatment on the part or my mcdiv cal adviser, continued to hold its own in my system. My sleep at last began to be affected, and ray whole system very much reduced. The! most careful treatment failed to give me relief,' and I then applied nearly every advertised remedy The s-iatica was principally located in my loft thit#, and tho pain at timoa was most er.cr iiciating. In spite of tho most thorough applications, and the great est care and ntti'ntion on my part, ob. tamed no appreciable relief, and at last, i«. ■» forlorn hope, I determined to app!y St. Jacobs Oil and from that time the pam began to diminish. My sleep soon returned, and each application afforded 1110 relict. At hrst I re garded the cessation from pam as only a temporary one, scarcely daring to hope that the cure was complete; but I have cralofully to ncknowluilso tlmt I am now free from pain-in fact, v man again. I must confess that I triod tho Oil in abso' lute doapnir. I had hiid no sleep for three or four nights oreviously, and my system was very, low The success, however, is complete, nni I again tender my grateful acknowledgments tc the proprietors of tho Oil, and shall ever continue to recommend it to every suilerer who com« within range of my influence. What medical skill failed to do St. Jacob's Oil effected, and I regard it as Ine greatest boon of the age. ■, lam, dear Sir, 1 Yours faithfully, John Lots. Aflhboumo, Mudgec, November 12,1883. • )
