It is indeed a very sad case. Sadder still, that there should be a law inflicting punishment on the poor, seduced, perhaps hungry, girl-mother and not on the seducer. Why is his name not mentioned in the paper? Why should the young woman bear all the shame alone, and not share it with the man who shared her love? Justice was merciless to the heartless mother and lenient to the cowardly lover. Such sad cases will occur as long as society will allow partiality in law. It is time some laws were reformed.
With thanks, I beg to remain, dear sir,—
Yours faithfully
(Mrs.) H. D. Tsykalas,

M. Lambert's company opened well and had, if not a full, at least a good house ever ready to respond to telling lines and good acting, and at times unwilling to reserve its applause at the close of an act. That M. Lambert's company would do well was expected. but no one, in our opinion, counted on hearing the parts of Fabrics and Clorinde so brilliantly upheld. M. Albert Lambert fils rendered the first role with real power; Mlle Delvair as Clorinde was brilliant She possesses a fine presence, great powers of facial expression, and one of those rich voices, so rarely heard, that make movement and gesture almost needless when they express emotion or passion, so perfect it the charm of their intonation. M. Albert Lambert pere as Annibal was good, and M. Marqnet played his part with dignity—perhaps with too much reserve—for the role of a distinguished old gentleman who is ready to throw himself at the feet of a handsome girl with a pathetic certainty that she reciprocates his flame, Is rather on the comic side.
Messrs. Colliuge Brothers,of Liverpool, cable as follows :—Market has declined in consequence of large selling orders from Alexandria Continent and old bulls liquidating. We have no decided opinion either way.
The abolition-of the salt monopoly (states "Al Express") has given great satisfaction throughout Egypt; and the Government, which has deserved the best thanks of the people for this action, mast recognize the great harm caused by monopolies. Therefore we seize this opportunity (adds our contemporary) to draw the attention of the Government and of Lord Cromer, the great reformer of Egypt, to the tombac trade, which has been for 30 years ,a monopoly in Egypt. Tombac is so much used here that it ought to be considered one of the indispensable wants of the people. This monopoly has so far caused great harm to the finauces of our country, and our wise reformer and the high authorities could put an end to it, as they have done to the salt monopoly.
The decree constituting the National Hotels and Residences Company appears in yesterday's "Journal Official." The capital of the company amounts to L.E 209,000, divided into 50,000 shares of L.E. 4 each, which have been wholly subscribed by the promoters as follows: — Antonn Bey Sabbagh, 30,000 ; Sidney Davis, 10,000 ; Ibrahim Sabbagh, 5,000 ; Charles Anhoury, 3.000 ; Neguib Hani, 1,000 ; Valle B y, 500 ; Charles Bauer, 500. There are also 2,000 Founder's shares, value undetermined, which have been distributed among the above in proportion to the, amount of their subscriptions.
While there is so much discussion going on among the playgoing magnates of Alexandria as to what is eventually to take the place of the Z'zinia Theatre, we might point out a precedent for Alexandria in the great scheme we hear of from New York. Thirty prominent men have subscribed £600,000 for the building of a fine theatre, and a committee of their wives will determine who shall be privileged to pay £20,000 apiece for the boxes. If thirty public-spirited capitalist; patrons of the opera were to do likewise at Alexandria, and the Municipality were to turnish a fine site, we should have a theatre worthy of Egypt's commercial capital.
Our leading article in Thursday's issue, on the necessity of waging war against the mosquito, has aroused considerable interest, and one of oar readers sends us the following extract from an article in the "Lancet" :— "What other countries are doing to exterminate the mosquito, Egypt can do.Thank God we have not yellow fever here. But as long as the mosquito is ubiquitous in Egypt, so long is it a menace to the health and comfort of the people. The inhabitants and old residents are no doubt immune to a great extent to the discomfort and annoyance from the bites of these pests. But tho stranger within our gates speedily falls a prey to the insect which at night slumbers not nor sleeps, and seems imbued with the faculty of tantalising and torturing its victims.
"The most pessimistic of Job comtorters cannot deny that to destroy some millions of these pests on the lines now so well-known and practised would be greatly to enhance the reputation of Egypt as a resort for the tourist and invalid. At present even the temper of a Mark Tapley's not proof agains the irritability caused by the injection of the poison from their probosces.
"That no organised attempt has been made to combat the evil we must ascribe to either a lack of initiative on the part of the European residents, or else to the general feeling engendered by prolonged residence in Egypt, which is so aptly expressed by the Arabic philosophical utterance 'Malish.' "
Suoh is to be the title of Sir Eldon Gorst's contribution to "The Empire and the Century," which Mr. Murray is publishing. It is not so much a, highly original volume as a library of Imperial essays compressed into a single work. The first part deals with the Imperial organism as a whole, its mechanism and principles ; and the second with the many constituents of the Empire. The contributors make up a brilliant and representative list, and Egypt and the Sadan occupy a good place in the second portion, "Realms in Trust," of Part II., which deals with ''Constituents of Empire." Sir William Garstin writes on "The Longest River in tie World," the Hon. Sidney Peel's contribution deals with British rule in the Sudan, and Mr. Grogan writes on "The Nile as I saw it."

Notre Revue Con merciale hebdomadaire
Une question de droit
Une très intéressante question de droit in- ternational privé est sous examen devant la Chambre commerciale du Tribunal mixte du Caire présidée par M. le président Tack.
"Les syndics de la faillite d'une maison de commerce déclarée à l'étranger par le Tribunal du siège principal de ladite maison de com- merce peuvent-ils attaquer par voie de la tierce opposition un autre jugement postérieur qui a déclaré en Egypte la faillite de la même maison de commerce au siège de sa succursale?
"Peuvent-ils en suite de la recevabilité de leur action demander l'annulation du second jugement basée sur l'incompétence du Tribunal qui l'a renda?"
En l'espèce il s'agissait de la maison de com- merce H. et E. Sacazan qui, déclarée en faillite par le Tribunal de Beyrouth au siège social le 5 janvier 1905, a été également déclarée en faillite par le Tribunal mixte du Caire au siège de sa succursale le 11 février suivant.
Se ralliant aux conclusions de Me Martino, le ministère public, représenté par Emine bey, a conclu samedi à ce que le Tribunal du Caire devait rétracter la faillite. Le Tribunal se pro- noncera à huitaine.
Cour d'Appel Mixte
On assure que 8.E. Bassili pacha Tadros a exprimé le désir de rester au Conseil législatif plutôt que d'accepter la présidence honoraire de la Cour d'appel mixte.
Le ministère de la justice a, en conséquence, différé de soumettre au conseil des ministres la note relative à la nomination de Son Excel- lence en remplacement de feu Saïd pacha Nasr, pour examiner s'il n'y aurait pas d'inconvénient à ce que Bassili pacha Tadros cumulat les deux fonctions.
L'affaire Halim
Samedi, dans l'après-midi, a été déposée au greffe l'ordonnance du juge des référés M. Herzbruck, dans l'affaire du prince Halim. L'ordonnance fait droit à la requête de Me Martino pour les bénéficiaires du Wakt Zenab Hanem et nomme l'administration des Wakts séquestre du domaine de Chawa.
L'ordonnance a été notifiée aujourd'hui au prince Halim.
Monsieur le Directeur de l'"Egyptian Gazette" Dans votre partie anglaise du 14 courant, vous avez annoncé que les services municipaux venaient de constater par des essais concluants que le collecteur général fonctionnait à mer- veille. Cette constatation n'allait pas sans une certaine surprise, mêlée d'admiration. Serait-ce que les services et les membres distingués du ministère des Travaux Publics, recrutés parmi les fonctionnaires d'élite de toutes les nations avaient des doutes sur l'heure se issue de l'entreprise?
Eh oui, certes. On se rappelle la lutte acharnée que l' "Egyptian Gazette" et deux on trois membres de la minorité durent soutenir en faveur du projet Hobrecht, projet qui avait été condamné comme absurde et voué à un échec certain par l'administration, le gouverne- ment et d'éminents ingénieurs appelés l'un de Paris et l'autre des Indes pour prononcer sa suppression, en faveur d'un autre projet dont l'accomplissement devait grever la ville d'une nouvelle dette de 500,000 livres.
La Commission, retenue d'un côté par la campagne obstinée de votre journal et de quel. ques-uns de ses membres, de l'autre par l'énor- mité du nouvel emprunt qui lui était proposé, élat un comité spécial composé de MM. Zouro, Escoffier, Rothacker, Yehia Bey, Abani Bey et Stagni pour étudier la question.
Après bien des travaux et des efforts, ce comité parvint à convaincre la majorité de ncs. édiles qu'en dépit des assertions contraires du ministère des Travaux Publics, de l'Adminis tration et des plus illustres spécialistes, le col- lecteur système Hobrecht était apte à fono- tionner. Le projet fat donc voté par 14 voix contre 7.
Le Gouvernement qui se voyait ainsi forcer la main, refusa d'engager sa responsabilité. Il déclara que l'échec devait retomber tout en- tier sur la tête des conseillers municipaux. Une fois encore d'humbles journalistes et d'illettrés négociants en ont remontré aux puits de science què sont les spécialistes. Au li.n d'un échec c'est un nouveau triomphe qu'ils ont remporté.
Je ne puis terminer cette lettre sans ma tionner le nom de M. Zouro, qui a été l'âme do la résistance. "Il faut rendre à César ce qui est à César."

LE VÉRIDIQUE.
Alexandrie, le 18 Novembre.
(Aujourd'hui à midi et demie)
Les offres sont peu importantes mais la demande est nulle. Aussi assistons-nous à uno baisse régulière et presque générale. La National Bank tombe à 25, l'Agricole à 8 15/16, la Land Bank à 8 1/2, la Béhéra à 37 1/2, l'Oasis à 1, la Daira à 17 5/16, l'Ia- vestment à 1 1/16, l'Urbaine à 4 3/4, les Cotton Mills à 4/9, la Salt and Soda à 22/3, la Nangovich à 10 1/16, l'Anglo American Nile à 5 7/16, la Dalta Light à 11 3/8 et la Ramleh Railway à 6 1/2.
Quant à la tendance, elle est tout à fait indécise. Les affaires sont clairsemées. Caire, 20 novembre. Les marchés étrangers ont enocre aɛɛez malmené nos valeurs samedi.
Le Crédit Foncier, que l'on soutenait ici à 787, ootait à Paris 775 et la
Banque 25 1/8. Il faut dire que la persistance de la baisse est due, à ce
que l'on prétend, aux forts ordres de yente envoyés à Paris et à Londres
pour,
Nous tournons depuis des mois dans un cercle vicieux. Plus les Banques pressent leurs clients de liquider en prévision d'une baisse, plus les cours baissent, et plus les Banques demandent des liquidations de plus en plus difficiles à effectuer. Et il n'y a pas de raison pour qu'on s'arrête.
Le marché a été, ce matin, très animé. Beau- coup de fluctuations en Agricole, qui ouvre à 9 3/32, tombe à 8 15/16 et clôture à 9 livres vendeurs. La Banque ouvre à 25 1/4 et clôture plus faible à 25 3/16. La Banque d'Abyssinie est demandée à 6 1/2. L'action Crédit Fon- cier s'échange à 785 francs sur quelques achats en clôture. Les Hôtels sont un peu plus fermes et les petites valeurs bien tenues. On a, spécialement, fait beaucoup d'affaires en Estates; plusieurs milliers de titres ont été ramassés dès l'ouverture.
Comme on demandait, en Bourse, des ren- seignements sur la mise en circulation des titres de la Banque d'Abyssinie, M. H. de Vries a en, ce matin, une entrevue à ce sujet avec le Gouverneur de la Banque d'Abyssinie, qui l'a informé que les titres étaient à la signature et seraient très probablement mis à la disposition des souscripteurs vers la fin de la semaine.
La Banque d'Athènes a ouvert aujourd'hui son Agence du Caire. Tout le monde a observé la remarquable fermeté du titre de cette Société pendant la période actuelle. C'est à peine si le cours a baissé de 2 francs.
