Sir Garnet Wolseley's calcula- tion as to the duration of the war will be verified to the diy, for to-morrow he will beat Cairo. Butros Pasha and liaouf Pasha, from Cairo, and Roubi Pasha, from Mariout, are now at Kafr Douar. They have sent to the Khedive for a train to enable them to come and surrender to his H ighncss. The army and tie people at Kafr Douar are friendly, and have already destroyed the dam on the Fresh Water Canal which cut off the supply from Alexandria. I n two hours the Mahmoudieh Canal was full. This morning from Rami h a flag of truce was observed in the palm groves where Arabi's outposts are station '(I on this side of King Osman. Officers were seen in the open, and Sir Evelyn Wood sent Captain STade with some of his men to meet them. The Arabs at once laid down their arras and returned with Captain Sladc to Sir Evelyn Wood. They brought offers from Toulba Pasha to surrender, which Sir Evelyn Wood sent on to Sir E. Malet, who is at Raseltin, and is th'.s moment discussing the situation with the Khedive and Cherif Pasha. There is a great crowd at the palace of Consuls-General, officials, notables, and people of every nationality. The Khedive gives a banquet this evening. Sultan Pasha telegraphs that the Egyptian army lost between fifty and sixty guns at Tel-el-Kebir. We expect that one portion of the army will arrive at Belbeis, and another at Benha, to-day, and at Cairo to-morrow or Satur- day. Sir Evelyn Wood's brigade at Ramlch has just received rrders to hold itself in readiness to occupy Kafr Douar. The bridge known as the " Hecla Bridge," because it was constructed by sailors from the Hecla over the Mahmoudieh Canal, has been removed, and the water in the canal is now rising rapidly. A VISIT TO KAFR DOUAR The Times correspondent, who accompanied General Wood to the fortifications at Kafr Douar under flag of truce, telegraphs as folio vs : " Soon the towering earth- works, covered with natives, were straight ahead of us, and for the fir t time we found ourselves face to face with the works which had so excited our cariosity through the glass. In front of the works, which were fully 30ft. high, was a broad moat well filled with muddy water, and the front was steep and soft enongh to battle the amateur climber, even had there been no guns visible from behind the embrasures. There was, however, nothing hostile, except the earthworks. The people crowded out to see us with smiling faces, clustering round us wilh a familiarity which was promptly checked by the soldiers with nabeots. One wretched little beggar could not avoid gently scratching the General's knee, and asking for backsheesh, a proceeding which seemed to excite the indignation of the native soldiery and the amusement of ours. Presently appeared a quantity of luggage, borne by servants, and then on horses, Raoul and Butros Gali Pashas. Salutations were exchanged, and it was ascertained that the many-lived Toulba, still in nominal command, had escaped to Cairo. The General explained to Butros Gali that while they would he conducted to the Khedive in accordance with their request, hostilities were not to be con- sidered as over, and that Toulba Pasha, i f desirous of * surrendering his command, must do so by proceeding to Benha and surrendering to Sir Garnet Wolseley, as Com- mander-in-Chief. Orders were then give to return, the acting commandant was again warned that the flag of truce did not imply cessation of hostilities, and the party retained. At the lame time, the generally friendly at- titude ot the garrison, who, however seemed in very good condition, showed that they considered the farce played out, and were anxious to return to their normal condi- tion. The Bedouins alone held aloof, and regarded us with unfriendly eyes. The earthworks, though formi- dable in front and on the right flank, were not inacces- sible from the left, and appear to be quite unprotected in the rear. "FAREWELL, A LONG FAREWELL, T O A L L M Y GREATNESS." Cairo, Sept. 14.—The first news which reached Cairo about the general engagement yesterday morning spoke ol a great Egyptian victory. When Arabi's impending arrival became known, it was rumoured that he was the b, arer of Admiral Seymour's bead, the population having never he nl of Sir Garnet Wolseley, and imagining that Sir Beauchamp Seymour was ihe Briti h commander However, when Arab! arrived alone, the populace intuited him and pelted him with stones on the way from the station. TELEGRAM FROM THE QUEEN. Balmoral, September 14.—The following telegram hat been received from her Majesty: The Queen was mueb gratified at receiving yesterday morning the announcement of the great victory of her troops at Tel-el-Kebir, as well as the special mention made by Sir Garnet Wolseley of his Royal Highness the Duke of Connanght, and of the admirable manner in which his Royal Highness led 4is brigade to the attack. GENERAL ORDER, rhe following general order has been issued by his Royal Highness the Field-Marshal Commanding-in- f hief: G O . 259—Officers proceeding to seat of war. The Field-Mar. bal Commanding-in Chief directs that no officer of the auxiliary forces, or of the reserve of officers, shall proceed to the seat of war in Egypt without the special sanction of his Royal Highness.—By command, R. C. H. TAYLOE, A.G. ARRIVAL OF WOUNDED IN ENGLAND.—TWO STARTLING INCIDENTS. The Indian trooper Euphrates has arrived at Ports- mouth with wounded and invalids from the seat of war, and also from Malta and Gibraltar. She left Ismailia with her first detachment, but her draft is but a small one, consisting of ten officers and sixty men, and eighteen soldiers' wivts with forty children. Among the passen- gers is the trooper belonging to the Household Cavalry, who is said to have cut an Egyptian completely in halves with a blow from his sabre. The man in question being dismounted, was attacked by three Egyptians; two were driven off, but the remaining one managed to wo: nd the Englishman, upon which he slashed fiercely at his foe, and severed his trunk. The sabre, which Is bent back and has a half turn in it like a corkscrew, was shown in the saloon on board. The man comes home on account of his wounds, Sir Garnet having sent for him, told him that he thought he had fairly done his share of the campaign. Another of the passengers was a Marine, being sent home under open arrest for being found sleeping at his post after a twenty-four hours' march. When off the Isle of Wight the man's clothes were found on one of the decks, but the owner was missing, and on a search being made it was discovered that a life-buoy had also been taken, so that there is little doubt he made his escape. I t is not known whether he had any friends or not on the look-out for him, but nothing has as yet been heard of the missing man. Those on board the Euphrates state that she never was more crowded than when she recently took troops and stores from Alexandria to Ismailia. ARABI CAPTURED. Alexandria, Sept. 15.—Arabi has been taken. Toulba Pasha, Arabi's commander at Kafr Dowar, has given him- self np at that place. The enemy there is likely to come in this afternoon. AFFAIRS IN GENERAL. Alexandria, Sept. 15.—Ali Roubi, who commanded the troops at Tel-el-Kebir, says our men attacked most quietly, and when once upon them never stopped until the whole line was taken. At the banquet last night at the palace the Khedive proposed the health of the Queen, observing, " Messieurs, je bois it la saute de la Reine d'Angleterre et l'Imperatrice des Indes. Vive la Reine." Roubi has left here, riding to Kafr Dowar, going thence by train. General Wolseley is at Benha. No conditions can be made until all the commanders have personally surrendered themselves to General Wolseley. Arabi, at hit own house in Cairo, surrendered to the Khedive nneonditionally. W'ater is now coming into the canal. General Harman takes over the command at Alexandria. To-day we repair the line broken near Malacha ; the Arabs are doing similar work further up. Though hostilities have not formally ceased, quiet pre- vails. FEELING IN ARABI'S ARMY. Tel-el-Kebir, September 14.—General Wolseley has received an intimation from the remainder of Arabi's army nt Cairo, that they thank the British nation, and are ready to surrender at once. OUR CASUALTIES. Tel-el-Kebir, September 14.—Our casualties, it is stated, reach the total of 400. The enemy has caved in on every side. General Wolseley is just off to Cairo. The High- land Brigade is going East to Zagazig; the Guards are setting out straight for Cairo. DESPATCHES FROM GENERAL WOLSELEY— THE WAR OVER. The following telegrams have been received at the Wai Office: Sir Garnet Wolseley to Seoretary of State for War received Sept. 15: " Benha, Sept. 15.—Just arrived, cupied Cairo yesterday a t moon. Pashas surrendered unconditionally. 10,000 men, laid down their arms General Lowe oc- Arabi and Toulba Troops there about Piefet of Police undertaken to maintain order. I go on to Cairo at once." From General Officer Commanding in Egypt to the Secretary of State for War: "Cairo, Sept. 15.—Received here with open arms by all classes. There were about 10,000 soldiers here, who are laying down their arms and are gladly returning to their homes. Our cavalry did extremely well in tiking possession of Cairo by a very long forced march yesterday after- noon. I am arranging for the surrender of tht troops at Kafr Dowar. Arabi and Toulba Pashas both prisoners in our guard-room there (? here). The war in Egypt is over. Send no more men from England. Will now change my base from Ismailia to Alexandria, Health and spirits of troops excellent. All ranks worked hard, and have done their doty well. Midshipman de Chair is safe. THE BRITISH GENERAL IN CAIRO. Cairo, Sept. lb\—Sir Garnet Wolseley and stiff have arrived here by train. He was acconipa ied by the Duke of Connaught, with a con] any of Scotj Guards, undei Major Campbell, a company of Marities, and a company of the 71st Highland Light Infantry. At the station General Drury Lowe met Sir Garnet Wolseley, and a con sulfation at once took place in the wait'ng room as to tht position of affairs in the city, after whi< the General visited the most important po'nts, and then established his head-quarters at the Atxlin P.alaoe. The most comp'ete confutioa hits prevailed ia ihe wires for the past few days, the Telegraph Com, any of the R < al Engine rs being t * rly unable to overtake the great auvj nt of work thrown upon them; con equently press messages have been . (together sa priced, and little or no <ffoi'ts have been made to get them away. Many have been destroyed, and no one has any idea what in sa ge.s hare reached England. Now that head-quarters have reached Cairo we hope that some sort of regal..rity in the transmission of messages will ba restored. THE STORY OF THE BRITISH OCCUPATION OF THE CAPITAL. The cavalry reached Belbeis up. n the evening of the battle, and, after a slight skirmish, took possession of tie place and 1 sited there for the night. The next morning they started early and pushed straight on to Cairo, keeping on the borders of the desert. At every village they passed the people came out with white fags, and proclaimed them elves f .i hful to the Khedive. On their way they overtook large numbers of the fugitives, who, when they saw ihem, at once threw away their arms, and made signs of sub- mission. When, towards evening, they arrived in front of Abbassiah Barracks, outside Cairo, they we:e met by the officer in command with a squadron of cavalry in extended order across the plain, with whi.e flags tied to iheir carbines. The officer informed General Lowe that the town and garrison surrendered, and that no opposi- tion would be offered. He also slated that all was quiet, and that no popular outbreak had taken place. He expressed his readiness to make arrangements for the m, ply of rations for the men and forage for the horses of the cavalry. Although the commanding officer expressed himself thus peaceably, the situation was for a short t'me critical, as 10,000 infantry were formed up on parade at the time. However, the firmness of the attitude of the British officer had its effect, and the troops, piling their arms, re-entered their quarters. The governor of the city was then sent for, and was told by the General that he was aware that Arabi was in Cairo, and demanded bis surrender. He offered to send a body of troops to surround his house. The governor, however, said that this was unnecessary, and that he would deliver him up. He then returned into the city about ten o'clock and brought out Arabi and Toulba Pashas. ARABI UNDEt ARREST. Arabi, In delivering himself up, said to General Drnry Lo e i ii.-it he had at first no intention of fighting the E ilish, for whom he had always entertained geit respect, but that the war was forced upon him, and for this he blamed Tewfik. But, Icing a soldier, when fighting began he went on fighting. Now that all was over the Egyptians and English were brothers again, and h. a trusted him elf 10 English honour as a so'dier whose army had been d-feated. Arabi's manner was very dignified and composed. General Lowe replied that he ould not enter upon the subject of the war, and that his 0 nly mission was to arrest him. THE CITADEL GIVEN UP. Captain Wat on, of the intelligence Department, es- corted by mounted infantry and two squadrons of Dragoons, made a oVfoar round the city to the citadel, and summoned the ce.nmandant of this post to surren '.er. This he did at once, and, after a brief discussion, i t wai ar anged that the Egyptian garrisi n-hould mar. h out at one gate, while the English mounted guard at the other. By midnight our troops had everywhere replaced the Kgyptians at the various posts, the only trouble that oc- cur.el being caused by 500 convicts, who endeavoured to take advantage of the change to escape from prison. The attempt was, however, frustrated. DISBANDMENT OF EGYPTIAN TROOPS. Cairo, Sept. 16.—This morning the two thousand troops at Abbassiah Barracks were disbanded, much to heir delight, and are now thronging the streets of the tity preparatory to starting for their homes. SCENES IN CAIRO. Cairo pr se ts a strange appearance. The shops are all clo ed, but the streets are crowded with natives. Some of these cast hostile looks on the troops, but the majority are evidently rejoiced at the course which events have taken Each body of troops as they march through the streets is accompanied by crowds of admir- ing Arabs, while from tie windows and balconies of many of the houses women wave salutations and welcome to them. As a whole, the population is dis- tincly relieved that the war has ended. Cairo has been dull and empty too long, they say, and no advantage, bnt only loss, has arisen from Arabi's action. To the last he was engaged in levying conscripts and contribu- tions in money and kind. Hackney carriages are already ou hire here, and British officers are availing themselves of them. The Duke of Connaught has just driven past in one of these conveyances. MIDSHIPMAN DE CHAIR. The midshipman De Chair is unhurt. He was well treated to the end. The mob howled at him, but he was protected by his guard. THE CAPITULATION OF KAFR DOWAR.—A VANISHED ARMY. Alexandria, Sept. 17.—The London Standard corre- spondent teleg aphs: Tho proposed arrangements with reference to the capitulation of Kafr Dowar have had to be entirely modified, owing to the bodily disappearance of one of the chief actors in the ceremony of surrender which was to be followed by the disbandment of the Egyptian army—namely, the disappearance of that army itself. On Friday night a report reached head- quarters that the rebels were leaving in large numbers, and at daybreak yesterday Captain Slade, riding over to their lines, found that they were almost entirely deserted. He at once returned with the news. General Wood de- cided to proceed forthwith to Kafr Dowar, and issued orders for the 49th and 53rd Regiments to prepare to march out in the afternoon to occupy the abandoned position. A STRIKING SPECTACLE. The scene in the open space behind the defence!, was a very striking one. The rebel tents were still standing in long white rows. In front of them the rides were piled in perfect order, their polished barrels gleaming in the bright sunshine. Hundreds of horses .ml mules stood picketed in lines. Two batteries of Frapp ninepounder guns still pointed through em erasures towards our position at Ramleh. The heavy fifteen centimetre gun, with whose missiles we were so familiar, was still in position fifty yards to the right o'. the railway ; its breechpin had, however, been removed during the night. The army who twenty-four hours before had occupied the camp had entirely vanished, and a group of twenty-five or thirty officers, who eame up as we approached and saluted the General, were all that were left. AN ITALIAN DESERTER. Amongst this group of officers, and in the uniform of an Egyptian artillery officer, was Lieutenant Poulncci, of the Italian flagship Casttlftdardo, who deserted a month since into the Egyptian lines. The Khedive had tele- graphed orders to the camp on the previous night that he should be secured, and upon our arrival he was immcdi ately handed over to the General, who accepted my offer to act as interpreter. Lieutenant Poulucci looked pale, and, ashamed of his position, answered the questions of the General with great reluctance. He, however, admitted the facts of the case against him, but declined to give any reason for his conduct. " Why had he deserted and come here?" "For no reason in par- ticular." Sir Evelyn Wood then told him that he o.dd understand Egyptians taking up arms against the Eng- lish ; but that for an officer of a friendly country to do BO appeared to be without excuse. He then ordered Lieutenant Rae to a-rcst h i m and erscort h i m to Alex andria, and then hand him over to Sir E. Malet. SURRENDER OF TROOPS FROM MARIOUT AND ABOUKIR. Toe troops having been paraded, consisting of the 49th, three companies of the 53rd, and a wing of the 35th, formed up round the op n square in front of the station at Kafr Dowar. Two companies with fixed bayonets lined the platform. At half-past one the shouts of the crowd and clouds of dust proclaimed the arrival of the Egypt'an troops. Though weary with their forced march, and covered with white dust, they bore themselves well, as marching through the square the officers surrendered their swords in front of the General, while the rank and file proc e led to the railway platform and placed their rides and accoutrements in trucks waiting in readiness, First came five battalions of infantry, a'together over four thousand men. These were followed by two squadrons of cavalry, while three batteries of field artilery, each with six guns fully equipped, brought up the rear. I t was an impressive spectacle. The ma jo- rity went through the business with sullen and stolid imiiffere ce, but many of the officers showed plainly how bitterly they felt the humiliation of the po-ition, especially the surrender of the colours, one young ensign offering resistance befoi e he would part with his flag. The rank and rile of the infantry were at once dismissed to return to their homes, but the officers, numbering over 200, have been brought into Ramleh, where tiny are intern d in the Khedive's Palace under a strong guard. The cavalry aft r being di-armed were marched straight into Alexandria. Shortly after this force surrendered a battalion came into Kafr Dowar from Abouklr and laid down its arms. DAM1ETTA ALONE HOLDS OUT. Damictta is now the only place which threatens to hold oat. Abdul.th Pasha, who commands there, has three negro regiments, and vows that he will never surrender. AN EGYPTIAN FIELD HOSPITAL. While the General was selecting the camping ground for the 49th Drs. Riurdan and Gracet Bey paid a visit to the field hospital just outside the town. Both doctors agreed that nothing could surpass the perfect arrange- inents of the Egyptian military hospital. I t consisted of fifteen large, airy tents,each containing new iron cots with clean bedding and excellent stores. The hospiLal was under the charge of Dr. Muhamed Bey Islim, a gentleman of high professional acquirements, arid who has earned a title to general gratitude and respect by having saved the lives of twenty - five Europeans at the mas- sacre of Dumanhoor by sheltering them in his house at Kisk at the risk of his life. The hospital was empty, the patients having all (led upon the pre- ceding night, together with the nurses, attendants, and the whole staff, with the exception of one surgeon. Upon the evening lefore there had been thirty-live patients in hospital, but none of them were serious cases, being principally under treatment for ophthalmia and diarrh ii, When they heard that the army was dis- banding they all rote from their beds and made off wilh the rest. LOSSES OF THE ENEMY. Muhamed Bey gave some interesting details at to the Egyptian losses on their tide. These have been very slight since the fight on the 6th of August, on which iceasion forty-two were killed and eighty-five wounded, ive of whom afterwards died. Three officers were among the killed. The general health of the troops had been good. A l l serious cases were at once removed to the central hospitals at Dumanhoor and Cairo. Close behind were the third line of redoubts, which had, like the second line, only one battery of gnnt in position. The multitude of the abandoned tents fully corroborated the i'oc:or's statement that at one time folly 20,000 men were gathered within their lines. OUR CAPTURE OF WAR MATERIAL. The war material seized so far as at present counted consists of 6000 stand of arms and complete accoutre- ments, half a million rounds of ammunition, six batteries of horse artillery, three heavy siege guns, an enormous stock of forage and provisions, 800 horses and mules, and 400 tents and camp baggage. ADNENTUROUS CORRESPONDEUNTS Alexandria, Sept. 17.—Two correspondents arrived this evening by the first train through from Cairo, after a somewhat eventful jonrney. At Kafr Zeyat an excited crowd was waiting outside the station waving red flags and brandishing sticks. When the presence of the two Europeans was discovered the crowd endeavoured, with threats and imprecations against the infidels, to enter the train. Fortunately, Ibrahim Bey w.s travelling in the aime tain, and was able to deter them from pro- ceeding to violence by announcing the approach of English troops, who would take a hundred lives for each that they might sacrifice. I t was neverthel.ss an anxious time while the train remained in the station, which i t d i d for over half an hour. Again at Dumanhoor they were obliged to hide in the carriages during _the stoppage of the train. I t is evident that the news of the complete collapse of the rebellion had not yet been realised at these places, although the country was covered with hordes of fugitives from Arabi's army. A GRAND REVIEW OF THE EXPEDITIONARY ARMY TO BE HELD. Cairo, Sept. 17.—A grand review of our troops is to be held here. The Highland Brigade will advance from Pelbcis, General Graham's force from Tel-el-Kebir, and the Indian contingent from Zaga?ig. The parade of all our forces thus concentrated will, it i t hoped, produce a favourable impression on the Egyptians, and it may be anticipated will hare a beneficial [effect hereafter. We do not imagine that there will be any necessity for further fighting; but it may be desirable completely to snbd e the refractory party by a display of strength, especially at a time when it is to be wished that the Khedive's authority shall be re-estab- lished on a firm basis. General Wood's brigade has al»o orders to concentrate here. THE TRIAL OF ARABI. A court-martial, composed both of British and Egyptian officials, will be held in Caiio for the trial of Arabi and his chief supporters. THE I N T E R N A T I O N A L F O U R - O A R E D BOAT RACE. HTIXST1ALK8 1'. THAMES BOWING CLUB. Charming and summerlike weather prevailed oa the occasion of the boat race on the Thames hotw en the representatives of England and America, whilst the sur- roundings were all that could be desirel, there beng little or no wind, a fair ti le, and smooth water. Con- trary to the general practice, the start did n t t ke place from the Aqueduct, but, probably with the in- tention of affording mo'e room to the accompanying steamboats, which numbered four, from two skiffs, moored some 70 yards above that structure. M r . F . 8. licbton, of the London Rowing Club, had o-iginaily agreed to stand umpire, but at the last moment he telegraphed from Plymouth to the effect that he would be unable to attend, and therefore the only option was to select some one in his stead. Ultimately Mr. J. G. Chambers, an ok) Cambridge blue, contented to under- take the office. The Thames men having won the toss chose the Surrey station, ; n order to gain the fall benefit of the tide, although, as a matter of fact, there was very little to pick in the positions at this time. On the umpire giving the word both crews went off very tamely, as though they hardly comprehended that the race had commenced. During the first minute the Hillsdile* struck 49, and the Thames 40, the former naturally showing the way. Hastie at on ere began to steer over to the Surrey shore followed very closely, and at can be imagined, totally unne.estarily by the Americans, and the latter still pursuing the boring tactics until the boat- houses were passed, a bad foul occurred before the end of the Concrete Wall. Both crews claimed the foul, but the Hil'sdales getting away first, and steering all over the river right in front of their opponents, passed the old Ragged Tr e, which marks the mile, in 4min. 23sec. from the start, with a clear advantage of a length. From this point up to the Soap Works the steering on the part of both was very indifferent; but the Americans managed to retain the lead, pasting under Hammersmith Bridge in 7min. 53sec.; their opponents occupying Smin. ltec. for the ssme distance. Approaching the Oil Mills, how- ever, the long powerful stroke of the Thames began to tell the usual tale, and, notwithstanding the Hillsdales yet again tried their curious steering, the Thames were within a length of them off Thoraeycroft'a Torpedo Works, and gaining rapidly. Soon after, however, just as the English four were confidently expected to draw lore), their opponents suddenly stopped, owing, it ap; eared, to the bow oar, Terwilliger, having slipped his sliding seat off the steel runners. I t was some few seconds before the Hillsdales got to work again, which enabled the Thames to secure a commanding lead. The race was now all over, and the Thames Four, paddling easily on, ultimately passed the winning-post above the Ship, the winners by five lengths. The time for the full distance was 20min. 40sec, whilst the Americans occupied 20min, 53secs. The result was only what experienced judges fully expected, and the Thames crew were fairly rowing their opponents down at the time they stopped, for it was evident that the Americans were tiring fast, more espe- cially No. 3, who appeared as though he had had quite enough of it. A WIDOW LAST, named Richmond, of Eaton- road, Chester, who had been staying at Farndon on the Die, was taking a boat for the purpose of returning to the town, when h i boy, aged ri years, who had come to witness her depar.ure, slipped down the embankment in the deep water and was drowned. A SINGULAR INCIDENT has occurred at the Police-court, Clitheroe. William Tomlinson, a quarry- man, was summoned for throwing a stone and breaking a dog's leg. Two women swore they saw him throw the stone, and hit the dog. John Tomlinson, a young man, however, was called by the defendant, and he stated that it was he who threw the stone, and not the defendant. The case against the defendant was then dismissed, and John Tomlinson was charged in the box, and ordered to pay t 2 18s. THF, THREATENED BALK and destruction of the old Tolhouse Hall, Great Yar nouth, was the snbjec't of a lively debate at a recent special meeting of the Town Count il. The building is more than six centuries old, and of great historical interest, and the British and other archaeological societies presented memorials for its pre- servation. The council determined that the hall should remain as it is for a time, and that its restoration and a p'opriation for a museum, or some other public purpose, shall be the subject of future consideration. A MEETING of the Hasting Gale and Floods Committee fans been recently held, at which i t was stated that at least a sum of r£d< 0 to £500 would be required to fully recompense the fishermen in the losses which they sustained during the late gale. As the committee had only about £200 ba'ance in hand, it was resolved to make another appeal to the public to rai.e the required amount INFORMATION has been received at Irvine by Mr. Hall, late matter of the Glasgow barque Roseneath, which foundered in the Straits of Magellan in May last, from the fit at officer of the ship, in charge of the second boat, giving details of the butchery of the remainder of the crew by savages, and the escape of himself. Mr Hall, his wife, and seven of the hands were picked np by a passing vessel after being seven dayt in an open boat but the mate's boat, which waa first to leave the ship, was drifted by the current in a southerly direction After five days they came in sight of land, inhabited by savages, who murdered the carpenter, boy, and two able seamen, the mate alone being spared. After spending sixty-three days amongst these natives he managed to get away. EISHTY>FI.VE emigrants ships left the Mersev last mouth, with 20,o64 passengers, being 1954 more than in July, but 75b' less than in August, 1881. There were no fewer than 13,453 English, b it only 64 Scotch and 1084 Irish. The f rei-ners numbered 54C9, and there were 552 whose nationality was unknown. At ti- the destination of the emigrants, 15,745 tailed for t < United States, and 4502 to British North America. AN IMI'OIITANTINVE^TIQ ATioNinto the death of Mr. E. H. Taylor, a gentleman who resided at Hove. Brighton, has just been concluded. The evidence of Pro- fessor Pepper, of St. Mary's Hospital, who with othu experts had made a post-mortem examination, showed that the immediate cause of death was coma, the re-u t of a softening of the spinal cord produced by injury. The attention of the jury waa directed particularly to a railway collision at Bricklayers' Arms on Feb. 4 last when the exprert train from London-bridge for Hastings, ran into the other for Brighton. The coroner, in charging the jury, told them that if they found there was any culpable negligence on the part of any officer of the rail- way company the verdict must be one of manslaaghte •, provided that they were of opinion that death resulted from the injuries which it was evident deceased had received by the collision. The jury found a verdict to the effect that death resulted from injuries sustained by the accident, but recorded no opinion as to how the collision occurred. AN INQUIRY on behalf of the Crown has been held at Aberdeen, before Sheriff Dove Wilton, into the circumstances attendiag the death of James Davidson Cowie, who committed suicide in prison by hanging. The prison governor and warders were examined, and medical evidence given to certify that a most deliberate suicide had been committed, the prisoner's body baring been found suspended by his cravat from the bars at the wiudow. The sheriff found that there was no blame attached to any one. THE fever epidemic at Accrington appears to be increasing rather tlian diminishing. Two more fatal cases have been registered, making four within three days, and a number of fresh cases have been report! d. The disease has extended to Oswaldtwi?tie. At a meet- ing of the local board it was reported that scarlet fever prevailed in three house', In one of which there wete three cases. I t was decided to request medical men to report every outbreak. AT THE BOROUGH POLICE-COURT, Derby, J. Isaac Lewis, a surgeon with a good practice, was charged with u-ing threatening language towards and assaulting his wile, Caroline Lewis. The evidence showed a aa I state of domestic infelicity, and the defendant waa bound over in the stun of £50 for six months. THE GREAT INTERNATIONAL RIFLE MATCn. The great two days' match between teams of British and American riflemen has just been fought out -on the range at Creedmoor, near New York—a place which to Ann r cans is as Wimbledon t > Britont. The repres nta- tivet of the two Anglo-Saxon nations have met in friendly rivalry before the target* in former years, l u t never baa such a contest excited so much interest among rifleaien as now, when the match is essentially of a military cha- racter, the arms held being of the best kind that can be used in warfare, and very different from the delicate and minutely accurate match rifles that could not stand an hour of fiell skimish- ing risk. I t is well to remember that ther were many difficulties in the early stages of arranging the match, the Americans originally at the beginning of this ye ir orte ring to send a team to Wimlledon to shoot there on the con- ditions that, win or lose, the National Ride Association here would guarantee to return the visit at CreemoT in 1883, as the beginning of a series of annual out-an '.-home matches. There was at first some hesitation ou the part of the British riflemen to accept the term--, and there were hitches about wind-gauge tights and other details, which it was difficult 10 settle through the cable, and at one time it looked as though the whole thing would fall through. Finally, when matters looked at their wor.t, the maiu difficulty was tolred by a propoal from this side to send a team over to shoot the match which began a few days ago; and Major Waller, formerly of the St. George's Rifles, who has leen con- cerned in the previous matches, set on foot the sub- scription which has raised the £1200 necessary fcr the expenses. Several contests have been held to select the twelve men who were to shoot for England the first at Sandwell-park, near Birmingham, toon after Fatter ; the second at the West of Scotland Rifle meeting in June, and the last at the Hoanslow range on the Monday alter the Wimbledon meeting. As the result of these tri ils a very strong team started for the St t - on the 2 ith of Au.u t, with Sir Henry Halford, himself a distin- guished shot, at the head. There hat been some little surprise that several well-known lidemen hare been left out; but let that hare happened as it may, England sent a very relialle tern. In the list ia Major Hump 1 ny, of the Cambridge I'nirersity Rifles, who won the Queen's Prize as avery young man and main- tains Ids skid, as his splendid long-range shooting the other day proves. Then there is Major I'earse, of a Devon rcgi.ne.at, who has won the silver medal as leading the first stage of the Queen's ; also Captain Mell.sh, of the 2nd iMotti—a gentleman who hat come to the (rout in the last l-,vo j ears; Colonel Walrond, M.P., a noted Pec on markiimai.; Corporal Caldwell, of Renfrew, and Private M'Vit'ie, el Dumfries—Scots who have won high honours at Wirabl don; Lieutenant Heap and Private Goodear, of the 1st Manihestcr—men with more than a local reputa- tion ; Captili Godsal, of ihe Eton College Corps—clever at high ranges; Corporal Bates, of Birmingham—always a safe shot; Corporal Parry andPrivate Boulter, of the 2nd Cheshire I'egiment, Sergeant Dodds, of the 1st Berwick, and Se geant Oliver, of the West Kent all marksmen whose names have been prominent in the most htly-con- tested rifle struggle.}. To these must be added Mr. Henry Smith, of the Civil Service and honorary secretary of the North London Rifle Club, and a very good shot, . ho went ont as honorary secretary of the Briti -h team. The names of the A merican team have not reached England yet, and there have been even greater difficulties than in the English selection. Military rifle-shooting hat so far not yet attained a high standard in the States, and it may be considered rathar plucky in their shooting men to tackle the old country. So far as the practice went, the advantage promised to be with the British team, but there are so many chances in rifle shooting which uptet the most reliable shots that it did not do to readily assume a ttiumph for our tide. In the result, however, the victory retted with the English, who won the match with the score of 1975 against 1805 made by their op- ponents, a majority of 170 points. AT the Cheshire Police-court, a ohild only nine years of age, named Taylor, in company with three other boys, was charged with stealing four pots of jam. Some time ago Taylor was brought up for picking a lady's pocket containing 14s. Later on he was charged with felony, and discharged on account of hit youth. Afterwards he stole four bottles of porter, and the owner declined to prosecute. He was now remanded. THE annual exhibition of t h e Loughborough Agricultural Society hat been held at Loughborough, in beautiful weather, and in the presence of a large and fashionable company. The entries numbered 890 this year, as compared with 367 last year. I n the course of the afternoon the annual dinner took place, when a large number of members and friends tat down. AT CARDIFF Messrs. Moody and Striker's revival meetings, and Lady Hopes prayer meetings in connection therewith, continue to at tact crowded con- gregations. ... I * is UNDERSTOOD the Royal yaoht Otborne has been appro,.riat d to the service ef the Duchess of Connanght, who, probably accompanied by the Duke and Duchess of Albany, will proceed in her to the Medi- terranean to meet the Dnke ef Connanght.

T H E SUHKENDER OF K A F R DOUAR CO.VFIKMEU. A correspondent telegraphs as fol lows: Alcxan !ria, Sept. 14.—Sir Garnet Wolseley's calcula­

tion as to the duration of the war w i l l be verified to the d i y , for to-morrow he w i l l bea t Cairo. Butros Pasha and liaouf Pasha, from Cairo, and Roubi Pasha, from Mariout, are now at Kafr Douar. They have sent to the Khedive for a train to enable them to come and surrender to his H ighncss. The army and t i e people at Kafr Douar are friendly, and have already destroyed the dam on the Fresh Water Canal which cut off the supply from Alexandria. I n two hours the Mahmoudieh Canal was f u l l . This morning from Rami h a flag of truce was observed in the palm groves where Arabi's outposts are station '(I on this side of K i n g Osman. Officers were seen in the open, and Sir Evelyn Wood sent Captain STade w i t h some of his men to meet them. The Arabs at once laid down their arras and returned w i t h Captain Sladc to Sir Evelyn Wood. They brought offers from Toulba Pasha to surrender, which Sir Evelyn Wood sent on to Sir E . Malet, who is at Raseltin, and is th'.s moment discussing the situation w i t h the Khedive and Cherif Pasha. There is a great crowd at the palace of Consuls-General, officials, notables, and people of every nationality. The Khedive gives a banquet this evening. Sultan Pasha telegraphs that the Egyptian army lost between fifty and s ix ty guns at Tel-el-Kebir. We expect that one portion of the army w i l l arrive at Belbeis, and another at Benha, to-day, and at Cairo to-morrow or Satur­day. Sir Evelyn Wood's brigade at Ramlch has just received rrders to hold itself in readiness to occupy Kafr Douar. The bridge known as the " Hecla Bridge," because i t was constructed by sailors from the Hecla over the Mahmoudieh Canal, has been removed, and the water i n the canal is now rising rapidly.

A V I S I T T O K A F R D O U A R The Times correspondent, who accompanied General

Wood to the fortifications at Kafr Douar under flag of truce, telegraphs as f o l i o vs : " Soon the towering earth­works, covered w i t h natives, were straight ahead of us, and for the fir t t ime we found ourselves face to face w i t h the works which had so excited our cariosity through the glass. I n front of the works, which were ful ly 30ft. h igh , was a broad m o a t wel l filled w i t h muddy water, and the front was s t e e p and soft enongh to battle the amateur climber, even had there been no guns visible from behind the embrasures. There was, however, nothing hostile, except the earthworks. The people crowded out to see us w i t h smil ing faces, clustering round us w i l h a fami l ia r i ty which was promptly checked by the soldiers w i t h nabeots. One wretched l i t t le beggar could not avoid gently scratching the General's knee, and asking for backsheesh, a proceeding which seemed to excite the indignation of the native soldiery and the amusement of ours. Presently appeared a quanti ty of luggage, borne by servants, and then on horses, Raoul and Butros Gal i Pashas. Salutations were exchanged, and i t was ascertained that the many-lived Toulba, s t i l l in nominal command, had escaped to Cairo. The General explained to Butros Gal i that while they would he conducted to the Khedive i n accordance w i t h their request, hostilities were not to be con­sidered as over, and that Toulba Pasha, i f desirous of

* surrendering his command, must do so by proceeding to Benha and surrendering to Sir Garnet Wolseley, as Com­mander-in-Chief. Orders were then give to return, the acting commandant was again warned that the flag of truce did not i m p l y cessation of hostilities, and the par ty retained. A t the lame time, the generally friendly at­titude ot the garrison, who, however seemed in very good condition, showed that they considered the farce played out, and were anxious to return to their normal condi­tion. The Bedouins alone held aloof, and regarded us wi th unfriendly eyes. The earthworks, though formi­dable in front and on the right flank, were not inacces­sible from the left, and appear to be quite unprotected in the rear.

" F A R E W E L L , A L O N G F A R E W E L L , TO A L L M Y GREATNESS."

Cairo, Sept. 14.—The first news which reached Cairo about the general engagement yesterday morning spoke ol a great Egyptian vic tory . When Arabi's impending arrival became known, i t was rumoured that he was the b, arer of Admiral Seymour's bead, the population having never he n l of Sir Garnet Wolseley, and imagining that Sir Beauchamp Seymour was ihe B r i t i h commander

However, when Arab! arrived alone, the populace intuited h i m and pelted h i m w i t h stones on the way from the station.

T E L E G R A M F R O M T H E Q U E E N . Balmoral, September 14.—The following telegram hat

been received from her Majesty: The Queen was mueb gratified at receiving yesterday morning the announcement of the great victory of her troops at Tel-el-Kebir, as well as the special mention made by Sir Garnet Wolseley of his Royal Highness the Duke of Connanght, and of the admirable manner i n which his Royal Highness led 4 is brigade to the attack.

The Indian trooper Euphrates has arrived at Ports­mouth w i t h wounded and invalids from the seat of war , and also from Malta and Gibraltar. She left Ismail ia w i t h her first detachment, but her draft is but a small one, consisting of ten officers and s i x t y men, and eighteen soldiers' w i v t s w i t h for ty children. Among the passen­gers is the trooper belonging to the Household Cavalry, who is said to have cut an Egypt ian completely in halves w i t h a blow from his sabre. T h e man i n question being dismounted, was attacked by three Egypt ians; two were driven off, but the remaining one managed to wo: nd the Englishman, upon wh ich he slashed fiercely at his foe, and severed his t runk. The sabre, w h i c h Is bent back and has a half tu rn in i t l ike a corkscrew, was shown in the saloon on board. The man comes home on account of his wounds, Sir Garnet having sent for h i m , told h i m that he thought he had fa i r ly done his share of the campaign. Another of the passengers was a Marine, being sent home under open arrest for being found sleeping at his post after a twenty-four hours' march. When off the Isle of W i g h t the man's clothes were found on one of the decks, but the owner was missing, and on a search being made i t was discovered that a life-buoy had also been taken, so that there is l i t t l e doubt he made his escape. I t is not known whether he had any friends or not on the look-out for h i m , but nothing has as yet been heard of the missing man. Those on board the Euphrates state that she never was more crowded than when she recently took troops and stores from Alexandria to Ismail ia .

A R A B I C A P T U R E D . Alexandria, Sept. 15 .—Arabi has been taken. Toulba

Pasha, Arabi's commander at Kafr Dowar, has given h i m ­self np at that place. The enemy there is l ike ly to come i n this afternoon.

A F F A I R S I N G E N E R A L . Alexandria, Sept. 1 5 . — A l i Roubi, who commanded

the troops at Tel-el-Kebir, says our men attacked most quietly, and when once upon them never stopped un t i l the whole line was taken. A t the banquet last n ight at the palace the Khedive proposed the health of the Queen, observing, " Messieurs, je bois it la • saute de la Reine d'Angleterre et l 'Imperatrice des Indes. Vive la Reine." Roubi has left here, riding to Kafr Dowar, going thence by t ra in . General Wolseley is at Benha. No conditions can be made un t i l a l l the commanders have personally surrendered themselves to General Wolseley. Arabi , at h i t own house i n Cairo, surrendered to the Khedive nneonditionally. W'ater is now coming into the canal. General Harman takes over the command at Alexandria. To-day we repair the line broken near Malacha ; the Arabs are doing similar work further up. Though hostilities have not formally ceased, quiet pre­vails.

F E E L I N G I N ARABI 'S A R M Y . Tel-el-Kebir, September 14.—General Wolseley has

received an intimation from the remainder of Arabi's army nt Cairo, that they thank the Bri t ish nation, and are ready to surrender at once.

OUR C A S U A L T I E S . Tel-el-Kebir, September 14.—Our casualties, i t is stated,

From General Officer Commanding i n Egypt to the Secretary of State for W a r :

" C a i r o , Sept. 15.—Received here w i t h open arms by a l l classes. There were about 10,000 soldiers here, who are laying down their arms and are gladly returning to their homes. Our cavalry did extremely wel l in t i k i n g possession of Cairo by a very long forced march yesterday after­noon. I am arranging for the surrender of tht troops at Kafr Dowar.

T H E B R I T I S H G E N E R A L I N CAIRO. Cairo, Sept. l b \—Si r Garnet Wolseley and s t i f f have

He was acconipa ied by the Duke of Connaught, w i t h a con] any of Scotj Guards, undei Major Campbell, a company of Marities, and a company of the 71st Highland L i g h t Infant ry . A t the station General Drury Lowe met Sir Garnet Wolseley, and a con sulfation at once took place in the wai t 'ng room as to tht position of affairs in the c i ty , after whi< the General visited the most important po 'nts , and then established his head-quarters at the Atxlin P.alaoe. The most comp'ete confutioa hits prevailed ia ihe wires for the past few days, the Telegraph Com, any of the R < al Engine rs being t * r ly unable to overtake the great auvj n t of work thrown upon them; con equently press messages have been . (together sa priced, and l i t t le or no <ffoi'ts have been made to get them away. Many have been destroyed, and no one has any idea what in sa ge.s hare reached England. Now that head-quarters have reached Cairo we hope that some sort of regal..rity in the transmission of messages w i l l ba restored. T H E STORY OF T H E B R I T I S H OCCUPATION OF

T H E C A P I T A L . The cavalry reached Belbeis up. n the evening of the

battle, and, after a slight skirmish, took possession of t i e place and 1 sited there for the night . The next morning they started early and pushed straight on to Cairo, keeping on the borders of the desert. A t every village they passed the people came out w i t h white fags, and proclaimed them elves f . i hful to the Khedive. On their way they overtook large numbers of the fugitives, who, when they saw ihem, at once threw away their arms, and made signs of sub­mission. When, towards evening, they arrived in front of Abbassiah Barracks, outside Cairo, they we:e met by the officer i n command w i t h a squadron of cavalry i n extended order across the plain, w i t h whi .e flags tied to iheir carbines. The officer informed General Lowe that the town and garrison surrendered, and that no opposi­t ion would be offered. He also slated that a l l was quiet, and that no popular outbreak had taken place. He expressed his readiness to make arrangements for the m , ply of rations for the men and forage for the horses of the cavalry. Al though the commanding officer expressed himself thus peaceably, the situation was for a short t 'me cr i t ical , as 10,000 infantry were formed up on parade at the time. However, the firmness of the attitude of the Bri t ish officer had its effect, and the troops, p i l ing their arms, re-entered their quarters. The governor of the c i ty was then sent for, and was told by the General that he was aware that Arabi was i n Cairo, and demanded bis surrender. He offered to send a body of troops to surround his house. The governor, however,

said that this was unnecessary, and that he would deliver h i m up. He then returned into the c i ty about ten o'clock and brought out Arabi and T o u l b a Pashas.

A R A B I U N D E t ARREST. Arabi , In delivering himself up, said to General Drnry

Lo e i ii.-it he had at first no intention of fighting the E ilish, for whom he had always entertained g e i t respect, but that the war was forced upon h im , and for this he blamed Tewfik. But, I c i n g a soldier, when fighting began he went on fighting. Now that a l l was over the Egyptians and English were brothers again, and h. a trusted him elf 10 English honour as a so'dier whose army had been d-feated. Arabi's manner was very dignified and composed. General Lowe replied that he

ould not enter upon the subject of the war, and that his 0 n l y mission was to arrest h i m .

T H E C I T A D E L G I V E N UP . Captain Wat on, of the intelligence Department, es­

corted by mounted infantry and two squadrons of Dragoons, made a oVfoar round the c i t y to the citadel, and summoned the ce.nmandant of this post to surren '.er. This he did at once, and, after a brief discussion, i t wa i ar anged that the Egyptian garrisi n-hould mar. h out at one gate, whi le the English mounted guard at the other. By midnight our troops had everywhere replaced the Kgyptians at the various posts, the only trouble that oc­cur .e l being caused by 500 convicts, who endeavoured to take advantage of the change to escape from prison. The attempt was, however, frustrated.

D I S B A N D M E N T OF E G Y P T I A N TROOPS. Cairo, Sept. 16.—This morning the two thousand

troops at Abbassiah Barracks were disbanded, much to heir delight, and are now thronging the streets of the

t i t y preparatory to starting for their homes. SCENES I N C A I R O .

Cairo pr se ts a strange appearance. The shops are a l l clo ed, but the streets are crowded w i t h natives. Some of these cast hostile looks on the troops, but the majori ty are evidently rejoiced at the course which events have taken Each body of troops as they march through the streets is accompanied by crowds of admir­ing Arabs, while from t i e windows and balconies of many of the houses women wave salutations and welcome to them. As a whole, the population is dis-t i n c l y relieved that the war has ended. Cairo has been dul l and empty too long, they say, and no advantage, bnt only loss, has arisen from Arabi's action. To the last he was engaged i n levying conscripts and contribu­tions in money and k ind . Hackney carriages are already ou hire here, and Brit ish officers are availing themselves of them. The Duke of Connaught has just driven past i n one of these conveyances.

M I D S H I P M A N D E C H A I R . The midshipman De Chair is unhurt . He was well

treated to the end. The mob howled at h i m , but he was protected by his guard.

T H E C A P I T U L A T I O N OF K A F R D O W A R . — A V A N I S H E D A R M Y .

Alexandria, Sept. 17.—The London Standard corre­spondent teleg aphs: Tho proposed arrangements w i t h reference to the capitulation of Kafr Dowar have had to be entirely modified, owing to the bodily disappearance of one of the chief actors i n the ceremony of surrender which was to be followed by the disbandment of the Egyptian army—namely, the disappearance of that army itself. On Friday n ight a report reached head­quarters that the rebels were leaving in large numbers, and at daybreak yesterday Captain Slade, r id ing over to their lines, found that they were almost entirely deserted. He at once returned w i t h the news. General Wood de­cided to proceed for thwi th to Kafr Dowar, and issued orders for the 49 th and 53rd Regiments to prepare to march out i n the afternoon to occupy the abandoned position.

A S T R I K I N G S P E C T A C L E . The scene i n the open space behind the defence!, was a

very s t r iking one. The rebel tents were s t i l l standing in long whi te rows. I n front of them the rides were piled i n perfect order, their polished barrels gleaming i n the br ight sunshine. Hundreds of horses . m l mules stood picketed i n lines. T w o batteries of Frapp ninepounder guns s t i l l pointed through em erasures towards our position a t Ramleh. The heavy fifteen centimetre gun, w i t h whose missiles we were so familiar, was s t i l l i n position fifty yards to the r ight o'. the railway ; its breechpin had, however, been removed during the n ight . The army who twenty-four hours before had occupied the camp had entirely vanished, and a group of twenty-five or t h i r t y officers, who eame up as we approached and saluted the General, were a l l that were left.

A N I T A L I A N DESERTER. Amongst this group of officers, and i n the uniform of

an Egyptian arti l lery officer, was Lieutenant Poulncci, of the I ta l ian flagship Casttlftdardo, who deserted a month since into the Egyptian lines. The Khedive had tele­graphed orders to the camp on the previous n ight that he should be secured, and upon our arrival he was immcdi ately handed over to the General, who accepted my offer to act as interpreter. Lieutenant Poulucci looked pale, and, ashamed of his position, answered the questions of the General w i t h great reluctance. He, however, admitted the facts of the case against h i m , but declined to give any reason for his conduct. " W h y had he deserted and come here?" " F o r no reason i n par­t icular ." Sir Evelyn Wood then told h i m that he • o.dd understand Egyptians taking up arms against the Eng­lish ; but that for an officer of a friendly country to do BO appeared to be wi thout excuse. He then ordered Lieutenant Rae to a-rcst h i m and erscort h i m to Alex andria, and then hand h i m over to Sir E. Malet .

SURRENDER OF TROOPS F R O M M A R I O U T A N D A B O U K I R .

Toe troops having been paraded, consisting of the 49 th , three companies of the 53rd, and a wing of the 35th , formed up round the op n square i n front of the station at Kafr Dowar. Two companies w i t h fixed bayonets lined the platform. A t half-past one the shouts of the crowd and clouds of dust proclaimed the arrival of the Egypt 'an troops. Though weary w i t h their forced march, and covered w i t h white dust, they bore themselves wel l , as marching through the square the officers surrendered their swords in front of the General, while the rank and file proc e led to the railway platform and placed their rides and accoutrements in trucks wai t ing i n readiness, First came five battalions of infantry, a'together over four thousand men. These were followed by two squadrons of cavalry, while three batteries of field a r t i l e r y , each w i t h s ix guns fu l l y equipped, brought up the rear. I t was an impressive spectacle. The ma jo-r i t y went through the business w i t h sullen and stolid imiiffere ce, bu t many of the officers showed plainly how bi t ter ly they felt the humil iat ion of the po-ition, especially the surrender of the colours, one young ensign offering resistance befoi e he would part w i t h his flag. The rank and rile of the infantry were at once dismissed to return to their homes, but the officers, numbering over 200, have been brought into Ramleh, where t i n y are intern d in the Khedive's Palace under a strong guard. The cavalry aft r being di-armed were marched straight into Alexandria. Short ly after this force surrendered a battalion came into Kafr Dowar from Abouklr and laid down its arms.

DAM1ETTA A L O N E H O L D S O U T . Damictta is now the only place wh ich threatens to

hold oat. Abdul.th Pasha, who commands there, has three negro regiments, and vows that he w i l l never surrender.

A N E G Y P T I A N F I E L D H O S P I T A L . While the General was selecting the camping ground

for the 49th Drs. Riurdan and Gracet Bey paid a vis i t to the field hospital just outside the town. Both doctors agreed that nothing c o u l d surpass the perfect arrange-inents of the Egyptian mi l i ta ry hospital. I t consisted of fifteen large, airy tents,each containing new iron cots w i t h clean bedding and excellent stores. The hospiLal was under the charge of Dr . Muhamed Bey I s l im , a gentleman of h igh professional acquirements, arid who has earned a t i t le to general gratitude and respect by having saved the lives of twenty - five Europeans at the mas­sacre of Dumanhoor by sheltering them in his house at Kisk a t the risk of his l i f e . The hospital was empty, the patients having al l (led upon the pre­ceding night , together w i t h the nurses, attendants, and the whole staff, w i t h the exception of one surgeon. Upon the evening lefore there had been thi r ty- l ive patients i n hospital, but none of them were serious cases, being

principally under treatment for ophthalmia and d i a r r h i i , When they heard that the army was dis­banding they a l l rote from their beds and made off w i l h the rest.

LOSSES O F T H E E N E M Y . Muhamed Bey gave some interesting details at to the

Egyptian losses on their t ide. These have been very sl ight since the fight on the 6 th of August, on which iceasion forty-two were ki l led and eighty-five wounded, ive of whom afterwards died. Three officers were among the ki l led . The general health of the troops had been good. A l l serious cases were at once removed to the central hospitals at Dumanhoor and Cairo. Close behind were the th i rd line of redoubts, which had, like the second line, only one battery of gnnt i n position. The multitude of the abandoned tents fu l ly corroborated the i'oc:or's statement that at one time f o l l y 20,000 men were gathered w i t h i n their lines.

OUR C A P T U R E OF W A R M A T E R I A L . The war material seized so far as at present counted

consists of 6000 stand of arms and complete accoutre­ments, half a mi l l ion rounds of ammunit ion, s ix batteries of horse ar t i l lery, three heavy siege guns, an enormous stock of forage and provisions, 800 horses and mules, and 400 tents and camp baggage.

ADNENTUROUS CORRESPONDEUNTS Alexandria, Sept. 17 .—Two correspondents arrived

this evening by the first t ra in through from Cairo, after a somewhat eventful jonrney. A t Kafr Zeyat an excited crowd was wai t ing outside the station waving red flags and brandishing sticks. When the presence of the two Europeans was discovered the crowd endeavoured, w i t h threats and imprecations against the infidels, to enter the t ra in . Fortunately, Ibrahim Bey w.s travelling i n the aime t a i n , and was able to deter them from pro­ceeding to violence by announcing the approach of English troops, who would take a hundred lives for each that they migh t sacrifice. I t was neverthel.ss an anxious time whi le the train remained i n the station, which i t d id for over half an hour. Again at Dumanhoor they were obliged to hide i n the carriages dur ing _the stoppage of the t ra in . I t is evident that the news of the complete collapse of the rebellion had not yet been realised at these places, although the country was covered w i t h hordes of fugitives from Arabi's army.

A G R A N D R E V I E W OF T H E E X P E D I T I O N A R Y A R M Y T O B E H E L D .

Cairo, Sept. 17.—A grand review of our troops is to be held here. The Highland Brigade w i l l advance from Pelbcis, General Graham's force from Tel-el-Kebir, and the Indian contingent from Zaga?ig. The parade of a l l our forces thus concentrated w i l l , i t i t hoped, produce a favourable impression on the Egyptians, and i t may be anticipated w i l l hare a beneficial [effect hereafter. We do not imagine that there w i l l be any necessity for further fighting; but i t may be desirable completely to snbd e the refractory party by a display of strength, especially at a time when i t is to be wished that the Khedive's authori ty shall be re-estab­lished on a firm basis. General Wood's brigade has al»o orders to concentrate here.

T H E T R I A L OF A R A B I . A court-martial , composed both of Br i t i sh and Egyptian

officials, w i l l be he ld i n Caiio for the t r i a l of Arabi and his chief supporters.

T H E I N T E R N A T I O N A L F O U R - O A R E D BOAT RACE.

H T I X S T 1 A L K 8 1'. T H A M E S B O W I N G CLUB. Charming and summerlike weather prevailed oa the

occasion of the boat race on the Thames hotw en the representatives of England and America, whi l s t the sur­roundings were al l that could be desirel, there beng l i t t le or no wind, a fair t i le, and smooth water. Con­trary to the general practice, the start did n t t ke place from the Aqueduct, but, probably w i t h the i n ­tention of affording mo'e room to the accompanying steamboats, which numbered four, from two skiffs, moored some 70 yards above that structure. M r . F . 8. l i c b t o n , of the London Rowing Club, had o-iginaily agreed to stand umpire, but at the last moment he telegraphed from Plymouth to the effect that he would be unable to attend, and therefore the only option was to select some one i n his stead. Ult imately M r . J . G . Chambers, an ok) Cambridge blue, contented to under­take the office. The Thames men having won the toss chose the Surrey station, ; n order to gain the f a l l benefit of the tide, although, as a matter of fact, there was very l i t t le to pick in the positions at this t ime. On the umpire g iv ing the word both crews went off very tamely, as though they hardly comprehended that the race had commenced. During the first minute the Hil lsdile* struck 49, and the Thames 40, the former naturally showing the way. Hastie at on ere began to steer over to the Surrey shore followed very closely, and at can be imagined, totally unne.estarily by the Americans, and the latter s t i l l pursuing the boring tactics un t i l the boat-houses were passed, a bad foul occurred before the end of the Concrete W a l l . Both crews claimed the foul , but the Hil'sdales getting away first, and steering all over the river r igh t i n front of their opponents, passed the old Ragged Tr e, which marks the mile, in 4min . 23sec. from the start, w i t h a clear advantage of a length. From this point up to the Soap Works the steering on the part of both was very indifferent; but the Americans managed to retain the lead, pasting under Hammersmith Bridge in 7min. 53sec.; their opponents occupying Smin. l t e c . for the ssme distance. Approaching the Oi l Mi l l s , how­ever, the long powerful stroke of the Thames began to tell the usual tale, and, notwithstanding the Hillsdales yet again tried their curious steering, the Thames were w i t h i n a length of them off Thoraeycroft'a Torpedo Works, and gaining rapidly. Soon after, however, jus t as the English four were confidently expected to draw lore) , their opponents suddenly stopped, owing, i t ap; eared, to the bow oar, Terwil l iger , having slipped his sliding seat off the steel runners. I t was some few seconds before the Hillsdales got to work again, which enabled the Thames to secure a commanding lead. The race was now a l l over, and the Thames Four, paddling easily on, ultimately passed the winning-post above the Ship, the winners by five lengths. The time for the fu l l distance was 20min. 40sec, whilst the Americans occupied 20min , 53secs. The result was only what experienced judges fu l ly expected, and the Thames crew were fairly rowing their opponents down at the time they stopped, for i t was evident that the Americans were t i r ing fast, more espe­cially No. 3, who appeared as though he had had quite enough of i t .

A N IMI'OIITANTINVE^TIQ A T i o N i n t o the d e a t h o f M r . E. H . Taylor, a gentleman who resided at Hove. Brighton, has just been concluded. The evidence of Pro­fessor Pepper, of St. Mary 's Hospital, who w i t h o t h u experts had made a post-mortem examination, showed that the immediate cause of death was coma, the re-u t of a softening of the spinal cord produced by in jury . The attention of the j u r y waa directed particularly to a railway collision at Bricklayers' Arms on Feb. 4 last when the exprert t rain from London-bridge for Hastings, ran into the other for Brighton. The coroner, in charging the j u r y , told them that i f they found there was any culpable negligence on the part of any officer of the ra i l ­way company the verdict must be one of manslaaghte •, provided that they were of opinion that death resulted from the injuries which i t was evident deceased had received by the collision. The j u r y found a verdict to the effect that death resulted from injuries sustained by the accident, but recorded no opinion as to how the collision occurred.

THE GREAT INTERNATIONAL RIFLE M A T C n .

The great two days' match between teams of Brit ish and American riflemen has just been fought out -on the range at Creedmoor, near New York—a place which to Ann r cans is as Wimbledon t > Bri tont . The repres nta-t ivet of the two Anglo-Saxon nations have met in friendly r i va l ry before the target* in former years, l u t never baa such a contest excited so much interest among rifleaien as now, when the match is essentially of a mi l i ta ry cha­racter, the arms held being of the best kind that can be used in warfare, and very different from the delicate and minutely accurate match rifles that could not stand an hour of fiell s k i m i s h -ing risk. I t is well to remember that ther were many difficulties in the early stages of arranging the match, the Americans originally at the beginning of this ye ir orte ring to send a team to Wimlledon to shoot there on the con­ditions that, w i n or lose, the National Ride Association here would guarantee to return the vis i t at CreemoT i n 1883, as the beginning of a series of annual out-an '.-home matches. There was at first some hesitation ou the part of the Brit ish riflemen to accept the term--, and there were hitches about wind-gauge tights and other details, wh ich i t was difficult 10 settle through the cable, and at one time i t looked as though the whole th ing would fall through. Final ly , when matters looked at their wor . t , the maiu difficulty was tolred by a p ropoa l from this side to send a team over to shoot the match which began a few days ago; and Major Waller, formerly of the St. George's Rifles, who has leen con­cerned in the previous matches, set on foot the sub­scription wh ich has raised the £1200 necessary fcr the expenses. Several contests have been held to select the twelve men who were to shoot for England the first at Sandwell-park, near Birmingham, toon after Fatter ; the second at the West of Scotland Rifle meeting in June, and the last at the Hoanslow range on the Monday alter the Wimbledon meeting. As the result of these t r i ils a very strong team started for the St t - on the 2 i t h of A u . u t , w i t h Sir Henry Halford, himself a dist in­guished shot, at the head. There hat been some l i t t le surprise that several w e l l - k n o w n lidemen hare been left o u t ; but let that hare happened as i t may, England sent a very rel ia l le t e r n . I n the list ia Major Hump 1 n y , of the Cambridge I 'n i rers i ty Rifles, who won the Queen's Prize as avery young man and main­tains Ids skid , as his splendid long-range shooting the other day proves. Then there is Major I'earse, of a Devon rcgi.ne.at, who has won the silver medal as leading the first stage of the Queen's ; also Captain Mell.sh, of the 2nd iMotti—a gentleman who hat come to the (rout in the last l-,vo j ears; Colonel Walrond, M.P . , a noted Pec on markiimai.; Corporal Caldwell, of Renfrew, and Private M ' V i t ' i e , e l Dumfries—Scots who have won high honours at Wirab l don; Lieutenant Heap and Private Goodear, of the 1st Manihestcr—men w i t h more than a local reputa­t ion ; C a p t i l i Godsal, of ihe Eton College Corps—clever at high ranges; Corporal Bates, of Birmingham—always a safe shot; Corporal Parry andPrivate Boulter, of the 2nd Cheshire I'egiment, Sergeant Dodds, of the 1st Berwick, and Se geant Oliver, of the West Kent a l l marksmen whose names have been prominent i n the most h t l y - c o n -tested rifle struggle.}. To these must be added M r . Henry Smith , of the C i v i l Service and honorary secretary of the Nor th London Rifle Club, and a very good shot, . ho went ont as honorary secretary of the Br i t i -h team. The names of the A merican team have not reached England yet, and there have been even greater difficulties than in the English selection. M i l i t a r y rifle-shooting hat so far not yet attained a high standard i n the States, and i t may be considered rathar plucky i n their shooting men to tackle the old country. So far as the practice went, the advantage promised to be w i t h the Bri t ish team, but there are so many chances in rifle shooting which uptet the most reliable shots that i t d id not do to readily assume a t t iumph for our tide. I n the result, however, the victory retted w i t h the English, who won the match w i t h the score of 1975 against 1805 made by their op­ponents, a majority of 170 points.

A T t h e Chesh i r e P o l i c e - c o u r t , a o h i l d only n i n e years of age, named Taylor, in company w i t h three other boys, was charged w i t h stealing four pots of j am.
