OUR raison d'ure in Egypt is set forth fully in a recent issue of the North German Gameite as follows The fact is, that within the last four or five years the finances of Egypt have had a most extraordinary rise, Egyptian securities having reached and maintained a level hitherto unparalleled in their case on the European ex- changes. This is due to the administration of the country by the English, and primarily to Sir Evelyn Baring himself, who, with great diligence. and ability, is devoting his financial talents to the bettering of Egyptian finances. All praise is due to Sir Evelyn Baring, and now be will see more and more the fruit of his labours as France bas at last agreed, on reasonable terms, to the conversion of the Egyptian debt, by which vast financial relief will be obtained, solely and simply because Europeans will invest capital la the new bonds on the faith of the British occupation being permanent.

THE Scottish Oriental Steamship Company's veisel Mongkut, Captain Anderson, has been chartered by the Canadian-Pacific Company to run between Vancouver and San Francisco, via ports of call, to replace the steamer Danube, lately sold to a San Francisco firm. She will sail for Vancouver on the 21st instant. The fact of the Mongkut being detached, so to say, for duty on the American coast may lead to the conclusion that the Scottish Oricatal Company, have more boats on the Hongkong-Bangkok line than the trade war- rants. This, however, is not so, and at the present tithe a new 800-ton steamer, under command of Captain Woiton, ls on her way out to take the place of the Mongkut in the ever-increasing Bangkok trade, and the will shortly be followed by another new steamer which will be brought out by Captain Morris, late of the Phra Chufa Chem Klag, and a third will not be long after her. Even with these additions to their well- appointed feet the Scottish Oriental Company Will not have enough vessels to meet the requirements of a trade which they have been mainly instrumental in developing

the past six years; for we find by late accounts that Messrs. Butterfield & Swire and Messra. Jardins, Matheson & Co. have shown symptoms of an inclination to "chip in" and do a fair thing by running an occasional boat down Slam way. Altogether the shareholders in the Scottish Oriental Company may well congratulate them- selves upon the wisdom exercised hitherto by the directors of this promising concern.
THE account of the voyage of the schooner Johann, remarks an Australian contemporary, reads like a story from the pen of the well-known sen novelist, Mr. W. Clark Russell.

The good ship Johann story-tellers and bills of lading-left Ma ellius as to use the phraseology common to marine far back as April 3.
