PROFESSIONAÍ, BEAUTIES, The professional beauty," says London
· Society, is no new feature of the London season; and though photography has no doubt done much to give publicity to the charms of 'the laveliswomen in the ranks of fashion, yet in the days of our great-grandfathers and great grandmothers the reigning belles excited just as much vulgar curiosity and gossip as they do now, Take, for example, the Gunnings-Marin and Elizabeth-who appeared at the Court of George 11-one at the age of 18 and the other of 19, and both without a shilling to their dowry. "They are declared," writes Walpole, "a be the hand. somest women alive; they can't walk in the park or go to Vauxhall but such crowds follow them that they are generally driven away," One day they went to sce Hampton Court; as they were going into the Beauty Room another party arrived; the housekeeper, in a state of great excitement, said to, the new. comers. This way, ladies, here are the famous beauties" The Misses Gunning thereupon flew into a passion, and asked her what she meant; they went to ace the palace, and not to be shown as a sight themselves.
The younger of the two sisters became the wife of James, Duke of Hamilton. He fell in love with hier at a masquerade, and a fortnight later met fer at an assembly in Lord Chesterfield's gorgeous new house, in Mayfair. His Grace was so enamored of the lovely Elizabeth that he left the faro-table, where he had staked a thousand guincas, and "let the game slide" while he paid devoted court to his enchantress, Two nights later, at half an hour past midnight, they were married by Dr. Keith with the ring of a bed curtain in Mayfair chapel-one of the most hasty and eccentric marriages on record. In less than three weeks Maria Gunning followed her sister's example, and was wecklçil to "Lard Coventry, though not with such indecent haste as in the
other case.
The two beauties were even greater objects of popular curiosity after their marriages than before. When the Duchess of Hamilton was presented, the crowd at the drawing room was so great that even "noble persons" clambered upon chairs and tables to look at her whilst mobs gathered around the doors of the two "goddesses to see them get into their sedan-chairs; and such crowds flocked to see the Duchess when she went to her castle that 700 persons sat up all night in a Yorkshire town in order to see her start in her post-chaise the next morning!
THE HONGKONG TELEGRAPH, FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 29, 1882.
The enemy's scouts displayed great boldness. The enemy were much stronger than we expected. They had a number of cavalry and were spread out in a semi-circle. We soon perceived, train after train of reinforcements arriving. Our guns commenced firing at 11 o'clock, and at first our fire was very weakly responded to, but in the afternoon the rebels threw six shots to our one. They produced, however, very little effect, as the fire of the enemy, though fairly good for amateurs, was not correct. Altogether, our men and horses stood the heat of the sun fairly well. A launch has been sent up the canal with two guns, and a siege train will probably be ready to-morrow with a 40-pounder. The Thirteenth liengal Cavalry will land to-morrow.
PORT SAID, August 26th.
In the course of a conversation to-day De Lesseps nithered to his opinion in regard to the National party in Egypt. He said he still con- sidered Arabi Pasha à noble patriot and he felt happy to think that he (De Lesseps) had a great share in preventing France from participating in an adventure which he believes will have even. more disastrous consequences than those of the French expedition to Mexico. He said he be- lieved the campaign will be long and the English would encounter determined résistance.
'LONDON, August 29th.
Other advices received in London'confirm the
reports of a battle with and repulse of the enemy at Kassassin. The fighting took place by moon- light. The British loss was from 130 to 150 men.
General Wolseley telegraphs from Ismailia at 1-40 this morning as follows: "have just received news from the front that General Gra-. lum was heavily attacked last evening by a large force of the Egyptians. The British cavalry from Mahsumch went to his assistance, pnd he has had a brilliant success, taking cleven guns. Only a few of the British were killed, but over too were wounded. I am just about to proceed to the front."

The rebel position at Tel-el-Kebir is a very strong entrenchment right across and on both sides of the railway. The position is flanked on each side by water.
Our loss on Friday was about fifty killed and wounded, of which the cavalry lost twenty or thirty from the heavy shell fire and from charging a square of infantry.

asserts that the Turkish and Circassian residents of Cairo are being arrested daily, and are never heard of again. The Turkish and Circassina Pashas, with the few Europeans remaining in Cairo, are guarding the citadel. They seem to be well prepared to hold their own until the Bri tish arrive. He also asserts that if the absurd staries circulated by Arabi Pasha of British atrocities were disproved the majority of Arabi's troops would desert. A large force of the Be douins of Kafrel-Dwar. belonging to the tribes of Oulada and Al Salchek, and 15,000 belonging of the tribe of Taboran, remain faithful to Arabi Pasha through fear. All are prepared to lay down their arms when the British advance.

A dragoon signalling on the banks of the canal. shows the hostility of the people around here. Among the things captured on Friday was a tent, said to be that of Arabi Pasha, and two standards.
During the fighting the Bedouius occasionally showed much courage. Several hand-to-hand en- counters occurred. One man stood his ground alone, wounded a trooper, scized his sword and made two thrusts at an English officer before he was cut down.

ISMAILIA, August 28th.
A boat supplying the posts on the canal with provisions was fired on by the Bedouins near here to-day, and four of her Maltese crew were wounded and the boat plundered.
Gen. Wilkinson of the Indian Division arrived yesterday to confer with Gen. Wolseley, escorted, by the Bengal Lancers, who rode from Suez in two days-a feat which speaks volumes for the condition of their horses.
Mahmoud Felmy asserts that the troops can... not come from Kafr-el-Dwar to Tel-el-Kebir, as Arabi Pasha holds several of the leading Bedouin chiefs as hostages for the good behavior of their
The troops are continually advancing and it will not be long before Tel-el-Kebir is attacked, Between Ramleli and Mayum the ground is good for marching, but the canal is full of dead horses and the dead bodies of Ambs.

Almost all of the prisoners are peasants, and all the dead are also peasants.
The doctors have prohibited the use of the water in Lake Maxium for drinking:
An artillery General has been captured, who speaks English fluently. He has furnished valu able information. We now have two infantry regiments, with cavalry and artillery at Kassassin Mahmoud Fehmy's son has also been captured by the British,

The enemy's loss during the recent battle is estimated at 4,000.
