THE HONGKONG TELEGRAPH-WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 19TH, 1881.
Affairs to-day, that the Dautzic mani- fostation seemed to be directed chiefly against France, he replied: "It is strange, but there is no statesman in France with whom

seriously. Gambetta's utteralices are always imprudent, and tho French Government commites blunder after blunder. The Hartmann affair is a sad instance, and it will not soon be forgottou. If MacMahon were still at the head of affairs, no doubt the rent between France and Russia would be Darrower, It has never beon so wide As now." This is the dominant feeling on the matter. The Emperor is delight- ed with the rosult of his conference, and expressed satisfaction to the Em. press immediately he saw her. Soon after his return, he sent a dispatch to the Emperor of Germany announcing bis safe arrival, and an immediatis answer was received.
Chicago, Sept. 13th. The Times' cable special says:-The situation in Egypt continues to excite the gravest apprehensions, and all parties are at so as to what should be done. The English will not consent to a joint oc- cupation by the French and English, and neither Franco nor England will permit the other to attempt the case alone. A serious fear prevails that if Turkey be asked to put down the Egyptian army, it will lead to a revival of Turkish claims of sovereignty over Egypt, which will toud to unite all Islam against Christianity's advances in Northern Africa. Italy is getting clamorous, that in case of any sort of interference in Egypt, she shall be allowed to regain the ground she lost when France and England assumed joint occupation. In fact, all Europe is more excited over the Egyptian inci- dent than anything which has occurred in several years. The furious demand of some French journals that French gauboats be sent at orice to take pas. session of the Egyptian ports, excites but little attention, as it is regarded that France has now all it can attend to in the work of pacifying Tunis and Algeria. A banker, a member of Par- liament, in conversation with the Times' correspondent, said he regarded the situation as a serious one, and liable to produce an imbroglio of an international
character.
Cairo, September 13th-The disaf- fected officers have signed an act of complete submission to the Khedive, and the notables guarantee its fulfill- ment. Hadair Pasha has been appoin ted Minister of Finance, Baroudi Pasha Minister of War, and Marashly Pasha Minister of Public Works.

andria.
Coustantinople, Sept. 13th.-The. dispatch of troops has not yet been de- cided upon. The Khedive attributes the entire trouble to Halim, claimant of the Egyptian Vico royaltry.
Paris, September 13th.-The Temps states that as soon as the Grst news of the revolt in Egypt arrived the English Government communicated to Bar- thelemy St. Hilaire, Minister of For- eign Affairs, its intention to proceed in accord with the French Government.
Rome, Sept. 15th. Father Camp bell, Canon of St. Peter's Cathedral, last evening abjured Catholicism in the chapel of the Methodists, after notifying Cardinal Bofromes, Prefect of the Congregation, of bis decision. He says his action was caused by the continued hostility of the Pope.

The scene to-day, however, was totally different, for no more popu la St. Leger winner has been seen during the last ten yours than Iroquois. New York, September 13th. The Herrld's.

COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE.
THIS DAY, ONE P.AL. The general depression in local stocks still continues. Docks are of course playing leading role, and a good deal of speculation, as we anticipated would be the case, has been indulged in since we last wrote. A large time business has been booked at 35 per cent premium for the end of December, and there are still plenty sellers at that rate for the end of the present month. So far as we can learn not a single share has been bought or sold for cash for soine considerable time past. Banks are offered at 110 for the end of the month, and China Fires are on the market at 280 per share-without, however, leading to any business in either case. We have to report a movement in Steamboats at last, an average number of shares having changed hands at 21 per share premium. A fow Ice shares have also been purchased at a fractional increase on the old rate, namely, 128 per share. Hotels, although freely offered at 108 fail to attract attention, and Sugars remain in statu quo,
