Neither Mr. Gladstone's nor Sir Charles Dilke's statements in the House of Commons last night, June 1, throw much fresh fight on the actual position or the immediate future in Egypt. The report that a conference of the European Powers is to be held at Constantinople is correct, and the basis on which it will deliberate is the existence of status quo in Egypt, and the maintenance of the Kherlive's authority. But a conference can not assemble in twenty-four hours, and conclude all persons are asking themselves is, What is its business out of hand. The question which to be done in Egypt meanwhile? No delinite. answer was given by the Prime Minister or by the Foreign Under Secretary yesterday. The only reason alleged for this reticence is that the English Government is under an obligation to the French and pledged to say nothing. On the general question of intervention, the Prime Minister said nothing more than that if it were might be, extremely dangerous.

After sailing they experienced a very strong gale, and the ship laboured heneity, one man being washed over board, but he was washed back again.

We take the following interesting account of the general situation in Egypt from the Home News of June and.
The past week has been alarmingly eventful in Egypt. Crisis has been replaced by chaos, and disquiet by anarchy. Ambi Bey, after having been superseded by the Khedive, condemned to exile by France and England-in their ultima tum despateled to Cairo-was on Saturday, May 20, reinstated as Minister of War and Marine, and became indisputably master of the situation.

SERIOUS CHARGE AGAINST A CAPTAIN.
Capt. Thomas Bryce, of Glasgow, appeared before a special bench of the Southampton magis trates, on June 1, on a charge of scuttling and abandoning the new four-masted iron ship Falls of Afton, on avoyage from Glasgow to Calcutta, in April. In answer to a suggestion that a gentle man representing the firm of Russell and Co., the builders of the vessel, was present to give any details as to her construction, the chairman said the Bench had decided not to go to into that question, Mr. Bell, solicitor to the firm, pro- tested against damaging statements in reference to the vessel being scattered broadcast with no

ceive the relations of mutual distrust existing between the two Powers, and he has turned them with much skill to his own advantage.
That Turkey should have no wish to interfere in Egypt simply to oblige France or England, is scarcely surprising. France has already incurred her deep distrust by her policy in Tunis and by her atitude towards Tripoli. On the other hand, the Prime Minister of England is regarded by the Sultan as his greatest enemy. Further, it is possible that he may be influenced by the wishes or what he believes to be the wishes of the other
