This morning's telegrams show that, as far at least as St. Petersburg is
concerned, the revolutionary movement has been stamped out with ruthless
severity. But in the provinces the state of affairs is by no means so
reassuring for the supporters of autocracy. The immense arsenals at
Sebastopol are in flames, riots have occurred at Riga, a general strike has
been proclaimed at Moscow for Thursday next, and from the Black Sea to the
Baltic the country is seething with sullen discontent or open rebellion. The
complex nature of the Russian is dominated by one fundamental inclination to
pursue an idea to its utmost limits. When a Russian has got hold of a
thought, a fundamental principle, or purpose, whether it originated with
himself, or was borrowed from outside, he does not rest until he has
followed it to the end. It is this which has made the Russians the most
arbitrary oppressors and the most reckless liberators in the world, blindly
orthodox, yet pursuing strange sectarian beliefs even to self-destruction,
carrying free thought to Nihilism, and sedition to murder and the flinging
of dynamite. If they still preserve a belief in authority, they bow their
foreheads to the earth. If they have conceived a hatred for that same
authority they do not hesitate to use the revolver or the bomb. In all
things they are radical; in faith, in infidelity, in love and in hate, in
submission and in rebellion. Such is the Russian nature, and it is not of
such that thralls are made. The existing system of government in Russia up
to now has been enthroned upon a live volcano, whose pent up and gathering
forces have now begun to find their vent. Perhaps the most significant piece
of news in our telegrams is that concerning the Tsar. Hitherto he has been
considered by the mass of his subjects as a sacrosanct figure, standing in
the position of common father to the lower classes of the people. But the
veil which has hitherto concealed him from his people's eye is now for ever
drawn aside and the Autocrat of All the Russias, "whose exact whereabouts,"
so the telegrams state, "is unknown," has been convicted of blood
guiltiness, and as Father Gapon declared yesterday to the people: "We have
now no Emperor. Innocent blood lies between him and the people," thousands
of whom he has not
Ghehazi by the hue that chills thy cheek
And ilate by the hue that sears thine hand Whene all earth's water cannot wash the brand That signs thy soul a manslayer's though thou speak All Christ, wit. lips most murderous and most meek.
The future depends entirely on the attitude of the army, for, as Gibbon points out in a celebrated passage, a hundred thousand men directed by a coutralised despotism can hold down a hundred millious of discontented but disorganised subjects. But there are signs that the temper of the common soldier cannot be entirely relied upon. Yesterday an eutire regimeut refused to leave St. Petersburg to quell the disturbances at Riga. Another regiment lowered its arms when ordered to fire on the people on Sunday afternoon. Such incidents are of extreme significauce, and just as Napoleon said, with memorable insight, that the old régime in France received its death-blow from Frederick the Great at the battle of Rossbach, BO Muscovite autocracy may prove to have received its mortal wound upon the fields of Manchuria; and the renaissance of an Asiatic people will result, by the oblique and strange processes of fate, in precipitating a convulsion which will affect the Governments, excite the peoples of all neighbouring countries, and shake the Continent to the centre. History, classic and modern, teaches no clearer lesson than this, as important to popular parties in democratic States as to despotic rulers, that disasters in foreign policy have been the surest causes of the overthrow of political systems.
More than a week ago we published a petition addressed by the employés of the Telegraph Administration to the Cairo authorities, at the same time calling our readers' attention to the statements put forward, while making no comment on them. We wished to give a reasonable time for reply before doing this, although we believe a fortnight had already elapsed without any notice whatever having been taken of the petition. We therefore feel justified in assuming the truth of the charges made, and in examining their bearing on the question of the way in which this important public department is conducted. If, in the course of future remarks, we speak out somewhat plainly and ruffle certain feathers, so much the better; while if the facts differ from the statements published in the petition, the absence of contradiction is alone to blame for our being misled.

The exact whereabouts of the Tsar is unknown. The information is carefully concealed.
The ruthless firing on unarmed crowds has horrified the public. On all sides one hears scathing comparisons between the bravery of the military against the defenceless public and their conduct in Manchuria.

This year's pilgrimage has already met with a most unfortunate contre-temps, even | before the Mahmal has left Egyptian territory.
I learn that a case of specie belonging to the I Mahmal, and valued at L B. 8,000, was stolen yesterday on the train near Genife station.
The special train conveying the Holy Carpet t arrived at Suez at 3 o'clock this afternoon, and on arrival of the train at the station, a saluté of 21 guns was fired from the fort. Thousands of pilgrims, mingling with the natives of Suez, paraded the streets with flags, and the town presented a lively aspect
At about 4 o'clock the procession of the Holy Carpet took place. It was escorted by cavalry, infantry, and artillery, numbering 407 officers and men, under the command of Miralai Mohamed Bey Rifaat, as well as by detachments of Coast Guards, and the military band. Towards evening the Mahmal was con-veyed to the docks by the same special train, to be placed on board the Khédivial steamer ' Rahmanieh," which is due to sail on Wednesday for Jeddah.
This is a record year for the pilgrimage on account of the large number of Egyptian pilgrims, which exceeds 16,000, as against
12.000 last year.
The pilgrims are conveyed by the Khédivial steamers to Tor, where they purge five days' quarantine, and thence the same company's steamers carry them on to Jeddah.
The rush of investors yesterday to subscribe to the Egyptian Investment and Agency, Limited, was extraordinary. All day long the National Bank of Egypt was besieged by masses of people, with the result that the amount tendered for subscription in Egypt was» £3,150,000, whereas the total capital of the company is only £200,000.
The amount over-subscribed in London is also very large.
Owing to this rush there will necessarily be some delay in the allotment
The Egyptian Land Investment Company is one of the latest of the many similar ventures, which are being daily launched at Alexandria. It objects are described as follows
L'achat et vente do terrains à bâtir, propriétés baties ou biens ruraux en Egypte ou au Soudan, ainsi que toutes affaires ou opérations, dont le caractère ou le but serait de nature à faire valoir ses acquisitions ou a contribuer au développement des affaires immobilières en général.
The capital is LE 100,000, divided into 20.000 shares of LE 5 each, which have all been subscribed by the following:—

La semaine avait bien débuté, avec tendance marquée à la hausse, lorsque toutrà-ooup l'apris#-midi du 19, une réaction s'est produite, causée par les réalisations et les nouvelles politiquw inquiétantes. Les dépéchas d'hier ont fait dégénérer le recul en vraie débandade.
Trop vite oublieux, en effet, de la débâcle récente, certains spéculateurs, entraînés par la hausse, avaient pris dee positions intenables pour leurs faibles moyens. Aussi, quand la réaction est arrivée, ont-ils dû se retirer. Un petit parti baissier fort bruyant s'est organisé et, profitant d'un oôté de l'extrême resserve des acheteurs et de l'autre des réalisation» et de l'incertitude du marché, il a réussi, an partie au moins, à casser Isa prix. La valeur la plus éprouvée sous oa rapport a été la National Bank ; elle avait aussi été la plus favorisée ; elle avait haussé de prés de 2 £ 1/2 en deux jours.
On avait voulu marcher trop vite. Au fond, pourtant, la situation n'est pas mauvaise, si l'on considere qu'il n'existe presque pas da position de fin du mois, le petit publio ayant de ou réaliser ou se défaire avec perte. L'avenii est donc asses not. Les détenteurs qui restée sont pour la plupart dee capitalistes an état d< soutenir le choc d'une forte baisse, sans trop m laisser impressionner. 11 va sans dire que si les bourses de Paris et de Londres sont fortement affectées, on en ressentira ici le contre-ooup, au moins dans une certaine mesure. En tout cas, on espère, aussitôt le calme rétabli, qu'une bonne reprise aura heu, ru l'abondanoe manifeste do capitaux sur cotre place. Un fait symptomatique de cette richesse est l'expédition faite en Europe samedi dernier par une banque locale de un million de livres sterling ; il wt très rare, en effet, qu'en pareille saison on expédie du numéraire à l'étranger ; c'est presque toujours le contraire qui a lieu. ^
La National Bank a eu, on peut le dire, les honneurs de la semaine. Elle a passé de 24 1/f i 26 1/2 pour retomber hier soir en cloture f 24 1346 La Nouvelle Emission a suivi h même mouvement et clôturé ferme à 23 7/8, Le chiffre des transactions a atteint plusieurs milliers de titras par jour.
L'Agricole, qui était aussi ferme au début a 10 1/16, a atteint 10 13/16 pour finir à 1( acheteurs, en assez bonne tendance.
De 14 1/2 la Delta Light tombe en clôtun à 14 3/16. La Deferred est à 16 SL sans aflai-res.
Les Privilégiées Tramways d'Alexandrie onf fluctué entre 143 1/2 et 146. Elles clôturent acheteurs à 144. Les Dividendes sont au prix
de 360 — 365 nominal.
La Ramleh Railway débutai 8 7/16, fléchit i 8 1/8 et reprend a 8 1/4.
D'importantes affaires ont eu lieu en Sait & Soda, mais le mouvement ne se dessinera sur cette valeur qu'après l'assemblée du 27 courant En attendant le cours suit les fluo--tuations générales ; il tombe (le 43 i 89/9, pour reprendre légèrement vers la fin à 40/3 ferme.
En Nungovich nous fléchissons do 10 1/8 i 9 9/16, pour remonter en clôture i 9 3/4. La rumeur d'une fusion a été officiellement démentie.
L'Anglo-American Nile recule de 5 5/16 à 5 acheteurs.
La Crown Brewery u'a pas présenté une grande animation durant cette semaine Le cours a fluctué de 216 i 220 pour clôturer
i 215.
De son côté, la Brassorie des Pyramides débuta i 126, monta i 130 et réactionne i 128.
La Banque d'Athènes suit la baisse générale. Après avoir touché un moment 125 1/2, elle fléchit i 118 1/2 pour finir hier soir i 119 1/2.
Contrairement aux autres valeurs, les Baux du Caire gagnent du terrain : après avoir fléchi un instant de 1,105 à 1,070, elles reprennent bientôt à 1,120 en clôture.
Les Eaux d'Alexandrie restant délaissées à 15 7/8.
Commo les Eaux du Caire, la'Khédivial Mail donne lieu à une bonne demande et remonta de ce fait de 3 13/16 à 4 1/8 acheteurs. L'Ordinary hausse également da 11 à 13 shelling.'.
Les Obligations Crédit Foncier réactionnent de 300 à 296 en clôture.
Los Markets fléchissent aussi de 23/9 à 23 vendeurs.
Une grande activité a régné sur Is Corpora tion of Wostern Egypt (Oasis). Le prix a subi do violentas fluctuations ; de 1 3/4 il a haussé jusqu'à 2 7/16, pour retomber aussitôt à 1 9/16 acheteurs.
(Aujourd'hui, midi et demie).
Ce matin, sur d'importants rachats, les cours de certaines valeurs regagnent en partie le ter rain perdu.
Ainsi la Banque Nationalo remonta de 24 3/4 à 25 1/2, l'Agricole de 10 à 10 1/2, laDaira de 21 3/4 à 22 1/16, la Nungovich die 9 3/4 à 9 13/16, la Delta Light de 14 3/16 à 14 5/16, et les Privilégiées Tramways de 144 à 145 1/2.
La hausse de la Khédivial Mail atteint 4 1/4.
Le marché en général est plus ferme et la tendance meilleure.
