OBSERVATIONS BY THE SURVEY DEPARTMENT.
There is still no change in the weather. The morning opens nice and clear with a light breeze from the East and the barometer keeping steady.
Mutinous soldiers and sailors at Cronstadt have killed ten unpopular officers. Two quad- rons of Hosaara and two battaliona of the crack Preobrajenaky regiment have arrived. Kronstadt, November 10. Reuter's correspondent has arrived and found that the mutiny bad been quelled by the most trustworthy troops, who vigorously con- trol the town. The eurvivore of the mutineers have been arrested.' (Reuter)
The Tsar has proclaimed a financial mora- torium. The situation at Kronstadt was at one time most serious, the mutinous seamen, artillery- men, and infantry joining in wild pillage and incendiarism. Eventually the fortress artillery trained tho qoiokfirers on the rioters, killing and wounding a hundred in the coarse of a desperate fight with the mutineers, who resist- ed stubbornly. 30,000 troops now ocoupy the town. (Reuter)
The disorders were oaused by the mutiny of the sailors and soldiers. The troops which came from St Petersburg pot down the riot. A hundred people were killed. A state of siege has been proclaimed. (Havas)
(Official). M. Ivan Shippoff is nominated Minister of Finance. M. Cutler, Minister of Agriculture, M. Timiriatceff, Minister of Com- merce, M. Neineaheff, at present Director of Southern Railways, Minister of Communica- tions, M.' Filifosoff, Controller General of the Empire. Bxoept M. Nemeschaeff all the heads of departments give to M. Witte's Cabinet a strong 'bureaucratic complexion. These ap- pointments are'a further indication that the Liberals are standing aloof. General Trepofi has been appointed comman- dant of the palaoo troops. Grand Duke Nicholas Nioolaievicb replaces the Grand Duke Vladimir. (Reuter)
The attitude of the Government towards trades uniotis and cavil servants led to a orisis in the Chamber. M. Berteaux resigned beoause the Government received the support of the Nationalists on that question. After stormy scenes a vote of confidence in M. Rouvier was adopted by 317 to 147. M. Rouvier averted defeat by appealing for snp port for the complete separation of Chnroh and State. (Reuter)
Chamber ok Deputies.—M. Drnmont baa asked to interpellate on the policy of the Government The interpellation was adjourned- M. Berteaux, Minister of War, resigned because the majority obtained on the 7th inst. was composed of Deputies of the Right. M. Ronvier claimed the right to explain his policy and repeated that he only wished to rely on the Republicans. The Chamber passed a vote of confidence in the Premier by 317 votes against 147. (Havas)

He dwelt on the difficulty finding a remedy which wonld not do more harm than good. He appealed to the benevolent support of the pablic, especially those present of aid the Governmeut in the employment he means at its disposal. After having mentioned the appearacoe Japan among the Great Powers he spoke of the internal condition of Russia, and expressed the hope that the future will not be sullied by the horrible soenes which have marked the beginning of the movement in the direction of self-government. He afterwards spoke of the efforts of Great Britain in the conne of the last ten years to make war impossible, and to develop the field if arbitration. He remarked that now there is no question of a frontier in Afrioa or else- where which might give rise to misundersUnt ngs. He has the firm hope that we shall see 10 war in the fntnre except some ruler should arise to trample on the rights for bis own aggran disement. There is no pro-prot of such a calalamity falling upon Europe. (Reuter)

H.H. the Khedive attended a solemn reli- gious service on Thursday evening in memory of Mohamed Aly.

Sir Horace Pinohing, Dr. Warnook, and Mr. Courtenay Clifton visited Khanka Unlay with a view to selecting a site for the new lunatic asylum which is to be oo ns traded next year,and which will probably require abont 200 feddans for site and grounds. We hear that it has been deoided in principle to bnild the asylum at Khanka,and that a suitable site has been fonnd in the hard desert lying to the east of the small town, or large village, of Khan Ira, not very for from the old pilgrim road, the Darb el Hag. As far as the air is conoerned no place could be belter than Khanka, but it remains to be seen whether the water supply is entirely satisfactory as regards quality, and tests will be made to that end before the Government finally commits itself to the constrnotion of an asylum at this spot.
The Pablic Health Department intend to Uke measures against the adulteration of food by Europeans. At the present time there are no measures in foroe for the punishment of Europeans gnilty of snoh offences. Natives, on the other hand, are liable to from a month to one year's imprisonment, in acoor- danoe with Article 980 of the Penal Code. The Pablic Health Department will draw op a scheme for the approval of the Ministry of the Interior, end if that Ministry approves it the Mixed Appeal Court will be asked for its opinion on the sohome, in order that it may be made applicable to Europeans as mil as to natives. It is to be hoped that the Pablio Health Department will be oarafol in drawing up the scheme so as to avoid the fiasco of the original Pharmacy Regulations.
The Alexandria Municipality is not granting any more roksas to the hawkers in the lane by the Alexandria Bourse, and as the present roksas fall in they are not renewed. A large number of natives without roksas ply 1 their trade there at certain times of the day. To obviate this abase the Municipality some time ago gave orders to the Tarrm officials to send off these people. The noose of the Municipality is that the frequenters of the Bourse enoourege the traffic owing to their patronage of these people.

To the Editor or thr Egyptian Gaxbtte Sir,—Your leading artiole on Alexandria's water supply in yesterday's issue of the "Gssetta" was an exoelknt pieoe of special pleading for that altroiitio and most phil- anthropic concern known as the Alexandria Water. Company, limited. As a matter of fact, however, there were some inaoonraoies, all of which possibly unoonscionsly were to the advantage of the company. In the first place, I should be obliged if you will permit me to point oat that at the time the Alexandria Municipality first attempted to exercise come supervision over the company, it was discovered that the ktter were charging the doable of what they were legally entitled to for a girbeh of water. The result was that the poor native who took hk water from the "homes fontainee" bad to pay mnob more than his more fortonste brethren, who could afford to subscribe for a permanent supply of water. The Municipality pot a stop to this extortion in the interests of the public. The question of the meters and the monthly subscription were gone into soon sfterwards,and the tariff, which is still in vigoor for sn un- limited supply of water, was then arranged. This reform was duo to the Municipality. There is an omission in the article of the name of Amin I aaha Fikry, one of the best Governors Alexandria ever bad, who, during the short time he was Governor, contributed greatly to the work of coming to an agreement with the company. The original contnot was that the Municipality should pay three quarters and the company one quarter, with a maximum of LE 10,000: Subsequently the Municipality arranged that they should give a lump sum of LE. 60,00 and that the company should provide the balance. The construction of the filters has been admirably carried out, and this balance paid by the company has exceeded to a certain extent the LB 10,000 calculated upon.—Truly, yours. Alexandrian. Alexaadria, November 10.
One of the questions, which will have to be settled soon, ia that of the new theatre at Alexandria which is to take the plaoe of the Zinnia, which has only a short time to ran before its demolition. The idea prevailing among the leading lights of the Alexandria pkygoen is that tha Municipality should give the site for a new theatre free, and that it should be bnilt by looal capitalists and beoome the property of the Maniaq>*lity after the capital has been amortised. Great divergenoy of opinion exists, firstly, as to what site should be asked for, and second, ly, what sum should be spent on the bnilding. Some ardent pttronc of tha drama want a bnilding of the paktial character of the Paris Grand Opera, while others think £40,CC0 to £60,000 wonld be quite sufficient to spend on saoh a bnilding. Owing to these conflicting opinions, to far no application has been to the Municipality, which is, we believe, quite disposed to favorably consider any reasonable proposals that may be made.

To The Editor of the Egyptian Gazette.
Sir,—Within the last few years, I note with pleasure the increasing use of the English kngusge in Egypt. I have just been looking at a new periodical entitled "The Oriental Truth," which, the editor says, will be run entirely on American lines, and of which the first part is written in what appean at first sight to be English. I do not find any fault with the editor's ideas, and some of the articles are interesting and cheerful but many of the words he uses on every page are so utterly at variance with those to be found in any English dictionary, that I am led to suppose that the language as well as the lines on which the paper is to be run is American.
I regret to say that I have but a very slight acquaintance with current American periodical literature, but if this is a specimen of it, our language must be fast approaching a line of cleavage ; some such uncomfortable position as that of Sweden and Norway.
If this is the case, I wish to say that the experience of many years in this country leads me to think that one of the burdens under which it labours is due to the excessive number of languages used here, and I should like to ask the editor of "The Oriental Truth" to pause and reflect for a little while before he inflicts another on a long-suffering, but already over-laden community.—I am, etc.,

It wonld not.be a very, difficult undertaking to convert the great depression of the Sahara into an inland ocean, as once it. was. Such a scheme is already being mooted, and talk is sometimes the prelude to action. It is reckoned that the depression comes up nearest to the sea midway between the twentieth and thirti- eth parallels of latitude on the Atlantic tide, and that a canal sixty miles in length would flood the whole interior with salt water. The result would be both good, and bad. It wonld open op an immense region to shipping communication, and there would be many large islands still above wator-level. It would also obliterate vast realms of barbarism. On the other hand, the vineyards of Southern Europe, which depend much on the hot, dry winds from the African desert, would suffer severely, many even to destruction.
A meeting of the leading members of the Jewish colony at Cairo took place yesterday evening, to considsr what steps should be taken in regard to the relief of their brethren who havecoffered by the massacres in Russia.
Messrs. Colltoge Brothers, of Liverpool, cable as follows this morning:- Barren may cause withdrawal of some sup- port given to the market but any spot decline of moment improbable.

A curious photograph has been sent home by the engineers of Meseit. John Aird to illustrate the surprising liftirgpower of flowing water, as illustrated by the efffete of water pouring from the aluices of the Nile Dam at Arsonan. The dam sometimes holds up a height of 60ft. of water, but the aluices are of different heights, and give the stream that pours through them a head of no more than 3fft and therefore a velocity of little toon than 30fL a second. Yet the discharge has been able to lift a blook of quarts 17ft -by 12ft. by 7 ft., and weighing approximately 60 tone, and fling it took, head over heels, as it Were, on to the masonry of the dam. Such occur- rences are not rare-on sea-walk, where there : is an impact of storm-driven waves. At Wick Harbour, for example, to 1872 a monolith weighing 1,870 tons was lilted fay the wave* and later, when thk had been replaced by one of 9,610 tone, the heavier stood was also washedaway. But at Assouan the impelling force was only running water.
