THE HONGKONG TELEGRAPH, MONDAY, SEPTEMBER 18, 1882.

It would be idle to speculate on the pro-, babile future at present. Although we must hope for the best, and a speedy and pacific solution of the Egyptian question, the danger of the situation, in the present excited state of Europe, must not be ignored. Whatever may be determined on by the Great Powers, we can confidently rely that British interests will not be overlooked

when the final adjustment of existing diffi- { culties is made. A temporary occupation of Egypt by the British would appear to be an absolute necessity for the security: of our Eastern dominions.

ACCORDING to the San Francisco Bulletin, Russia, by practically withdrawing from the European Conference, and by confining her interest to the Suez Canal, has created a flutter in diplomatic circles. She is not to be led into a war with Turkey just now Evidently, in her view the difficulty is he- coming wider and more dangerous every day. There has been, no declaration of war by the English against Egypt, but there is danger that the present antagonism may involve a contest with the whole Otto man Empire.

relations so sedulously fostered of late between Austria and Italy have been considerably dis- turbed by recent events in Trieste. A few weeks ago Trieste celebrated the gooth anniversary of her union with Austria, much to the wrath of the "Italia Irredenta" party, who have a strong following in the city, and issued a proclamation protesting against the festivities. The Emperor's brother, Archduke Karl Ludwig, came to Trieste to open the Industrial Exhibition, and a torchlight procession was organised in his honour, when, as the procession was passing along the chief street, a shell was thrown from a house, killing one young man, and wounding a number of others. The alarmed crowd, finding no one in the house, rushed off to the Italian Consulate to make a hostile demonstration, subsequently

It appears that the premises which were in the occupation of Messrs. E.
