A letter is being numerously signed by the commercial and trading communities of Calcuts arging that public meeting should be convened to consider and, if approved, to adopt resolutions asking the Government of India to close the mints to the free coinsee of silver as a first step towards patting the currency of the country on

LONDON, January 18th, The Times, discussing the Egypilan crisis, says that it appears that the present action ef "the Khedire is especially aimed at the judicial

reforms which have lately been introduced fu❘ Egypt.

The Daily News states that Lord Cromer gave the Khedive twenty-four hours in which to cancel the Fgyption Cabinet,which had been farmer by Fakhri Pache, who resigned the Premiership last evening at the Khedive's special request, and this the cris's is considered to be over. The Daily New agrests that the Incident was due to the intrigura of Ismail Pachá, at Constantinople. The Times also paints to Ismall Pacha and the Suba as the prime movers, but ad is that Great Britain can never permit the Khedive to obstract British reforms In Egypt. The Standard says it is impossible to conceive how the Khedive can have imagined England would tolerate such a blow to her pest tion in Egypt.

The crisis in Egypt is over, and the Khedive has expressed his repret to Lord Cromer and his readiness to appoint Riaz Pacha as Premier, to which Lord Cromer has assented. The French Press, prior to the receipt of the above news, were jubilarit at the Khedive defying England and strongly commented his actirin.

The payers, in discussing the Egyptian crisis, applaud the good grace with which his Highness the Khedive yielded to Lord Cromer's judicious #ppalotment of Rit Pasha In place of Fakhri Phibs. The Daily News says the action of the Government involves not the slightest departure from the liberal policy hithes to pursued in Egypt. The Khedive's tone at his interview with Lard Cromer was quite submissive. He promised to follow England's advice in all matters during the Occupation of his country by the Bilab forces,

informed the authorities of the occurrence.

Ia reporting, the Committee showed that the admitted depression in shipping was due for the most part to causes wholly beyond the reach of legislation. One of these was the introduction of steam, under the influence of which the owners of sailing-vessels were bound to suffer especially in the coasting trade. The change in this respect was shown to be very remarkable ---one north-east cosit pert alone having between 1851 and 1860 displaced.no fewer than 4.000 sailing craft of the collier type. Then it wai shows that while in the nine years preceding the repeal of the Navigation Laws the increas to millers had been only 233 per cent., and in steamers 81 per cent, yet from the repeal of the Laws down to 1859 the increase in sailers had been 261 per cent, and in steamers as much as 184 per cent.

These figures proved not a disturbance in shipping, but a revolution caused by King Steam, and a revolution which the majority of shipowners up to that time seemed to have scarcely even suspected.

The Government manufacturer of fire-works has received Tle, foco, and 5,000 cattles of solphur from the Director of the Imperial House- bold, and has contracted to make all kinds of ingenious fire-works, such as representations of grape vines, the apple, pomegranate, peach and persimmon trees, and lotus flowers &c., besides others termed Western fire-works," said to have been lately introduced from Europe.

With regard to the demands of the shipowners for a restoration of the monopoly of the Colonial trade, the Committee found that "the extent, diversified interests, and increasing power of our possessions abroad, offered insuperable obstacles to the reimposition of restrictions on that trade,

dence in our Colonies naturally tended to resht a system which would place the grower of British plantation suger and coffee in the West ladies at a greater disadvantage than then existed, especially when compared with the producer of slave grown sugar and coffes in Brasil and Cuba. Both on political and commercial grounds, the prayer of the shipowners for a restoration of monopoly was rejected as "altogether impracı)- cable."

It was admitted, however, that the shipowners had a just and fair claim to equal terms in the race of competition, and that Foreign Powers should be required, as far as it was possible to do go, to confer advantages upon our shippi x equivalent to those which we conferred upon theirs. We have mentioned the unfair position ascupled by the United States, but this was not the only gilevance. Our ships could not com- pete on even terms in either the French, Portuguese, or Spanish Colonies, although foreigners were free to cut us out of our own dependencies. Spanish vessels could load in United Kingdom ports for Manila at double the freights paid to English vessels. It is on record BERLIN, January roth.

A CRISIS IN SHIRPING.

The events of the year 1859 doubtless seem ancleat history to the young and blooming generation of shipowners, but it was a memór able year in the history of British shipping The disasters to which we have already referred, and the pressure of the American competition, brought forth the famous appeal to the nation of the Shipowners sacciation. In thle address the electors were informed that, great, as had been the increase of British shipping, the number of foreign ships entering and clearing at ports of the United Kingdom had increased in

very much greater proportion.

The rule of our shipping was predicted unless return were made to the principles of Pro- lection, and the electors were besought to send och representatives to Parliament as would save the great national industry from perdition Thas a number of men were returned to Parlia ment pledged to Reciprocity, and a few other devices with high-sounding nam twofold-to **The object of the shipowners was get the Colonial, and Eastern trade restored to and confiard to Britlub vessels, and to exclude foreign vessels from our own costing trades To assist in this objec', the shipowners at cach of the ports sent delegates to a great national

It was pretty much the same with all foreigners, as they had all the option of the English market besides their own, which gave a tremendous advantage.to merchants shipping under a foreign flag. While, then, retaliation was not recom mended by the Committee, earnest and active remonstrance on the past of the Foreign Office was urged with view to securing reciprocity.

This question led to the consideration of the rights of private property at sen during war, and of the quesilon of privateering. America had

refused to be a party to the Declaration of Paris of 1856, and the prospect was now, that in the event of another great European war all our | carrying-trade would be transferred to American

bottoms. As to this, the Commitice declared r❘ "We must clher secure the general consent of all nations to establish the immunity of merchant- ships and their cargoes from the depredations of both privateers and armed national cruisers, or we must revert to the maintenance of our ancient. rights, whereby, relying upon our maritime superiority, we
