The funeral of the late Princess Autshingi Hanem, widow of Khedive Ismail Pashs, took place in Cairo this morning and was attended by the Princes of the Khedivial family, Sir E. Gorst, the Ministers, the Ulemas the Diplomatic and Consular Corps, the officers of the Egyptian garrison, and many of the Moslem notables of the Capital. The deceased Princess was buried in the tomb of Ismail Pasha, near the Citadel. Princess Hanem was well advanced in years and her
death, which was due to heart failure, was quite dsudden. When taken ill on Saturday every
attention was paid to her Highness by Captain Gardes, commander of the "Hobenzollern," whose concern in his distinguished passenger's illnees was most devoted. The funeral proces sion and ceremony was most impressive and solemn, and the streeta were lined by crowds who desired to pay the last taken of honour to the widow of Ismail Pasha.
Upon the death of Princess Hanem the body was embalmed by the ship's doctor, and on arrival of the vessel the Khedive charged his chief equerry to express his apprecia tion of Captain Gerdes devoted attention to the Princess doring her sbort ill. ness. In recognition of the same and in memory of the deceased, Izzat Pasha has presented a considerable sum of money to be devoted to charity under German auspices in the name of the Khedivial family. On arrival of the ship at Alexandria the body was transfer od by special boat to Ras el Tin palace and full honours were rendered.

The oil paintings and water-colours of "Vanishing Cairo" now being exhibited at the Doré Gallery, London, by Mr. R. M. Chevalier are the results of prolonged study in Egypt So far back as the time of Arabi Pasha's attempt at military despotisin Mr, Chevalier was in the country, and in the comnise of the compaigning was under the necessity of concealing himself in Tinta wlien the place was sacked. One of his watercolours deals with the subject of a "Religious Fair" at Tanta, though most of his works "picture scenes in Cairo or its immediate environs. The largest painting, "Citadel and General View of Cairo," requires striking air from the effeet of sunrise with which it is invested The orange of sunset sky lends brillance to "A Street" with the Minarets of Morestan and Kaloon" while "Evening in the Desert of Suez" gains glow of col par from a like cause. The works, lacking as they do any special adroitness of executive, are yet carefully considered. Due regard has been paid to the claims of perspective. The street-scenes are enlivened by the introduction of suitable figurer, efficiently grouped, and the varied details of the houses are accurately egistered. Mr. Chevalier's studies may accord ingly be valued as trustworthy records of the city. He shows also a few pictores ot home. scenes, including presentments of the Highstreet at Stratford-on-Avon and of Magdalen College, Oxford.

A correspondent writes from Cairo -
The warfare between the parties continue, but what it all means Heaven, and perhaps, Sir Eldon Gorst only know. It is so fatally easy to create parties with the pen and then to discover that they have no exist
ence save on paper. However no one is chary in of describing what are at most parties in posse as parties in esse, and no one is any the worse
for the description ; least of all the leaders or inventors of the said parties. A little energy and imagination, an open fist and a facile pen could crente parties galore tomorrow through out the length and breadth of Egypt, but of all the parties we bave read of none save that of Mustapha Pasba Kamal seems to us to have any real existence. Sheikh Ali Yousefand Hafis Effendi Awad cannot be called party leaders in the sense in which the terte can be applied to the manager of "Al Law, fort
though they have, or at least Hafiz Awad bus de programme and organs, "Al Moayad" and "Atl
Minbar," with sympathisers galore, they have not yet "gone to the country." abae their rival, and if they went we doubt whether they would obtain a bearing from the classes to which Mustapha Pashs appeals. The fact is that in times of ferment and among half educated or wholly uneducated tolk a policy of caution and moderation does not "go! down." We can imagine them writing pamphlets and leading articles with succes and skill. Their literary style is doubtless superior to that of Mustapha, but while Musta pha, acoording to good jadges of Arabio prose, is often slovenly, otten flamboyant, thene very defects are of the greatest Assistance to his
oratory. Carelessness as to facts and his amazing inaccuracy may cause chuckles at the expense of the "Egyptian Standard," but when the tribune has taken the floor," the audience cheers the inaccuracies, roars with joy at the onlumnies, applands every piece of melodramatio rhetorio, simply because the orator has learnt the two secrets of demagogios, vit. (1) Never admit that anything can be said on the other side. (2) Tell your audience that they are the finest, noblest, and most intelligento fellows in the world. Of course the audience 1 cheers, why not? It is quite beside the point to enumerate the number of Berberines at the Zizinia; any half educated audience is vain of its real or imagined virtues, il and no, for that matter, is any audience, E even when exclusively composed of pbiloso 1 phers. So when A or B tells me that Sheikh Ali or any one else proposes to found a party I reply "let him go on the stump for a month 1 and when he returns I will talk about his party." Not that I intend to minimise the lit importance of the
fact that Mustapha has been criticised by his fellow Nationalista. On the contrary, if prompted by anything but personal jealousy, it reveals a return to a state of mind approacbing sanity. Bat "by your fruits shall ye know them" is a true saying. I shall recognise the "Moayad" party when it holds mass meetings and thumps tubs. It is of course th possible that Sheikh Ali and Hafiz Effendi do ju not wish to create a party, but merely to aeta as brakes on what appears wholly to be a "facilis descensos Averni" on the part of Egyptian Nationalism with Mustapha Pasha Kamel in the part of Mercury.
As for the "Hisbet el Umma," it neither P stumps the country nor holde publie weet du ingu Ita literary output is considerable, and pe slightly contradictory at times and its general staff, to use a military metaphor, is occupiedra in the nomination of commander-in-chief. of The writer suspects that a large number of C. in C will be elected, as many in fact as there are members of the party, and that secondo favorites will be chosen in Mustapha Pasba ti Kamel by Lotfy Said and his friends, and in ad Saad Pasha Zaghloul by the rest
There is no reason why a minister should not be identified with a party, and Saad Zagbloul would make an excellent chief. Should debate ever give place to action and th the Geridista nominato him as their chief, th Mustapha Pasha's following willinall probability be augmented by the maleontents.
The group led by Mohamed Bey Wahid must also be considered as "Zaghloglist" in sympathy. Its leader bas ore great merit, viz. that he has the courage of his opinions - rare virtuo everywhere and most of all in Egypt.
In many case the moderates or People's party want organisation badly. Then there is the court factor. "Al Moayad" is bien en by the M Sovereign; so is Mohammed Farid Mustapha's Ch A D.C. in chief, so we are no further in our Analysis, save for the knowledge that Farid at the present fills an important - I had slmost written the word 'Embassy.'

HORTICULTURE IN EGYPT. To The Epiros Of The "BOYPTIAN GAZETTE
Sir, I was an interested visitor on Satur day to the Chrysanthemum Show held at San Stefano under the auspioes the Alexandria Horticultaral Society, and Tally approve of your deservedly laudatory report of the same. I would, however, through the medium of your influential columns, offer a suggestion to the Alexandria Horticultural Society, vit, that medals and prises should be awarded to the best gardens, classified according to sire. Por the judges to visit the gardens of competitors in such a division would be no bard task, and such competition would encourage a far more usefal branch of horticulture than the oultivation of good specimens of any particular plant or individual fluwer. The general design of garden, the laying out of its beds, their tidiness the arrangement of its lawns, the use made of its greenhouses, the plants grown and their Aitangement in order to obtain the best general affect are far more deserving of recogoition than the production of an abnormality. Many persons will not allow their gardeners to show owing to the fact that the cultivation of al favourite species for show purposes involves neglect of duty in other directions. Such competition would also widen the field, for many an Amateur gardener bas neither time nor money to compete with those to whom prizes are assured by their keen interest which is unaffected by "length of pocket" or scarcity of time.
Yours truly,
To tux EDITOR OF THE "BOYPTIAN GAZETTE."
Sir, - Your paper of the 17th inst. has been forwarded to me, and among other interesting things, I notice under the heading of "Cairo Hotel King" an undoubtedly well deserved panegyric in honour of Mr. C. Baebler, which among other things attributes to him the credit of the introduction of electricity into Egypt. To the best of my belief the advent of Mr. Baebler in Egypt occured about eleven years Ago, and as one who was intimately connected with putting up an electrio plant in Alexandria in 1879, when according to your account, Mr. Bachler must have been only eleven years old, I beg to mak you to be so good as to correct 1 the statement above referred to.
I may add that the electrio plant put up in) 1879 was not a mere experimental toy, but was of over 5000 candle power, and a part of it is still in working order. I enclose my card and remain ete.
The Moderate Nationalists are keeping up their warfare against Mustapha Pasha Kamel, judging from the following paragraph in to day's issue of the "Egyptian Standard," entitled How Our Enemies Work."
Wo learn that certain people of the lowest class are distributing in Cairo leaflets which advise the people rot to follow Mustapha Kamel Pasha. There leadeta are signed by an indivi dual of whom we have never heard, and who is possibly a tool in the bands of others who still retain a sufficient quantity of hypocritical self respect not to lend themselves openly to work of this kind.
We sttach no importance to these documents with the signature of an unknown man. Our reason for mentioning the fact of their distribution is to show the futile and unworthy methods Kdopted by its enemies to weaken the national party. These tactics which resemble those recently pursued in Mansurs will undoubtedly Assist the Egyptian national movement to L obtain the sympathy and support of all right thinking men. It is not by the distribution of this kind of pamphlets in the streets that the in movement is to be destroyed whose strength and determination have been recognized allil over the world.
Among the visitors at the Windsor Hotel we notice the following :- Mr. W.
Thompson, MER. J. Low, Mr N. Hickson, Dr. and Mrs. Hilpern, Mr. Pagon,
Myhamed Bey Ibrahim,

The many friends of the former First Secretary to the Presch Diplomatie Agency at Cairo have been sorry to see M. Raymond Lecomtes name mixed up so prominently in the Moltke-Harden Sandals. M. Lecomte has a perfect command of English and counted many friends among the English colony at Cairo. In an interview published in the "Matin." M. Lecomte mid the nate of "Round Table" or Camarilla" was a sobriquet given by the
knowledge, never formed themselves into any group or Association, and therefore could not give themselves such a designation.
Briefly recounting his relations with the various persons supposed to have belonged to the "Round Table, M. Lecomte told the journalist that he was not presented to the Emperor William by Prince Eulenberg, as had been stated, but by his chief, M. Herbette (this was in 1895, when he was Second Secre tary, and the presentation stood good when he returned later to Berlin). With regard to his Alleged efforts to obtain a meeting between M. Loubet and the Emperor in Italy, M. Lecomte was at that tine in Egypt, where he was for five years First Secretary of the Prench Diplomatie Agency. The charge was the proved to be false.
Finally, M. Lecomte said this was the first and last time be would speak of this painful affair: "I am not one of those who fight their political adversaries by sullying their private li

(Aujourd'hui à midi) Pour traduire l'impression produite daris notre corbeille par les dépêches américaines de ce matin, il n'y a pas d'autre terme que cons ternation. Les embarras fiosheiers qu'on redon tait de l'autre côté de l'Atlantique sont en train de se produire : les larges appels que Wall Street a déjà fait al Banque d'Angle terre ont amené celle-ci and hanser son taux d'escompte de 5 1/2 and 6% et le taux privé ayant pas déjà à 6 1/2 % on craint que la Banque ne soit obligée bientôt d'augmenter enebre la vien jusqu'à 7 ou 8 % Ce serait le comble.
On jage de l'effet d'une telle nouvelle sur un marcha qui n'est que trop démoralist. La National Bank et le Comptoir ont été l'objet d'une offre persistante qui a occasionné une perte de 1/2 livre pour la première à 20.3/8 et de 5732 pour le second à 2 1/2. La Cassa était également offerte, mais sans autre résultat qu'une moins-value de 2 franos à 46 vendeurs.
En revanche les Estates ont fait preuve de soutien à 7/16, en gain de 1/32.
Dans l'ensemble les affaires ont été presque nolles et il n'est pas besoin d'ajouter que la tendance est déplorable. On attend avec impa tience des éclaircissements précis sur la situstion américaine
L'Agricole fléchit de 8 à 77/8, la Delta Light de 10 à 9 7/8, l'Alexandria Water de 10 1/2 A 10 1/4, la Daira de 12 15/16 À 12 1/2, la Béhéra de 29 j/4 à 21 1/2, Obligation Crédit Foncier de 291 a 292 l'ancienne et de 253 and 253 la nouvelle, les Lots Tares de 162 à 160, la Ban que d'Athènes de 107 à 106, l'Urbaine de 3+ á 3 3/16, le Crédit Franco-Egyptien de 4 1/16 A et la Banque d'Orient de 115. 114
Parmi les titres de moindre importance, les Markets retrogradent aussi de 911 266 l Delta Land de 1 5/16 à 11/4, l'United de 92 à 1/4 tles Rita de 13/32 X 3/8.
L'otion Levico progresse de 11/32 4 3/8 Standis que a part de fondateur recule de 3
21/2.
Il n'y a en reprise que les privilégiées Trom ways d'Alexandrie de 185 136, les Nungovich Hotels de 16 5/8 à 16 11/16, et les Estates de 13/32 à 7/16.
Sur le reste de la cote il n'y a pas de change ment à signaler.
Il a été vendu aux enchères publique 100 Crédis Franco Egyptien and 3 15/16-31/32, 10 Obligations Anciens Credit Foncier à 291, et 6 Banque Nationale de Grèce 1888 à 4191/2..
Comme on vient de la voir, la situation n's rien d'encourageant, mais ce qu'il y a lieu de redouter par dessus tout, c'est qu'un non veau fléchissement de la cote n'amène les banques and prendre de mesure de rigueur à Vencontre de leurs clients. Dans ce cas, comme tout x'enchalne als Boorse, one nouvelle debate merait à redouter.Le mieux pour le moment est dove de se teoir sur une prodesta terve on même d'all positions, an ca ob elles Hersient surcharger,
NOTES ET CRITIQUES
Le Caire, Lundi 4 Novembre Le taux de l'escompte libre est renseigné en hausse de 3/4 and 5 1/4 pour cent.
An Stock Exchange, le Consolide anglais a baissé samedi de 1/4 and 82. L'Unifiée s'est ins erite and 100 1/4 ex-coupon. La Banque a avancé de 1/8 and 21 1/8. L'Agricole a été terme a 81/8, la Dairs à 12 3/4 et la Delta Light à 10 1/4.
A Paris, ssmedi, la Bourseest restée fermée.
Ici, l'allure de marché ce matin a été plus satisfaisante et, bien que l'inactivité reste dominante, on a pu remarquer pour un assez grand nombre de valeurs une tendance très visible à se relever.
La noir pessimisme que l'on affichait trop volontiers tend and faire place à une apprécia
tion plus exacte de la situation. On comprend I que si quelques liquidations nécessaires ont
provoqué un fléchissement brusque par suite de l'époque défavorable, cela ne signifie pas I qu'un cataclysme soit imminent. Bien au con traire, nous croyons avec beaucoup d'autres que, la crise américaine terminée, ce qui ne saurait tarder, et les Bourses européennes se remettant à la hausse, notre situation boursière s'améliorera graduellement.
Dans le groupe des Banques, la National Bank se relève de 1/4 à 20 7.8. L'Agricole fait de même à 8, en gain de 1/16. La fondateur Comptoir Financier fléchit à 11/2 tandis que la Banque d'Escompte et de Reports se taffermità 2 13/16
La Jouissanees Eaux da Caire sont plus taibles à 179. La Daira Sanieh hausse à 127 8 Les obligations Anciennes du Crédit Foncier Egyptien sont calmes a 295-296 et les nouvelles
légère reprise à 253-254. L'Allotment temonte à 2. LBoterprise and Development baisse et s part à 11. L'Agricole du Nil regagne Sfes. 198. La fondateur Brasserie des Pyramides tombe à 37.
Dans le groupe des Hotels, les Baehler rega gnent 9/82 A 5 1/4-5/16 et les Ritz mollissent 0 3/8-7/16.
Parmi les petites valeurs, la Delta Land est Assez active and 1 1/4-5/16. La New-Egyptian est réalisée à 10/8-10/6. Les fondateurs Estates houssent 2 3/4. La Land Investment and Building est ramenée à 0 1 4. La Salt and Sods s'inscrit à 16/3 ex coupon. Les Walker and Meimarachi sont mieux tenues 05/16-38 alors que la fondateur United Landsse traite 1 0 7/8 en perte de 1/8
A propos de la crise américaine, nous lisons dans le Financial News":
"Prétendre que les crise financiero Améri cnide est passée serait absurde,
car, certaine ment, elle engendrers evoore une bonne quan tite de
suspensions et de nomination de liquid
lear disposition. L'initiative de cette tactique et le commengement de son application serp blentētro venus de M. Pierpont Morgan qut non seulement a entraine M. Cortalyon, mais A AD décider tous les éléments de la haute finance américaine qui sont en guerre entre eux a oublier pour le moment leurs raneunes et à s'associer pour rétablir la confiance."
Il en netait de même en Egypte que personne be s'en plaindrait
On nous annonce, et nous le donnons. NOUS toutes réserves, qu'un groupe d'actiounaires des "Excelsior Hotels aurait l'intention de proposer à une prochaine assemblée extraor: dinaire, que des immeubles de rapport soient construits sur les terrains que la Société possède en façade de la place Soliman Pache.
Afin de réunir les fonds nécessaires, ces mêmes actionnaires se seraient assuré l'appui d'un groupe européen qui se chargersit de placer des obligations hypothécaires ou des Actions privilégiées.

There have been forther engagements of gold in London for the U ited States of over 8,000,000 dollars, making the total during the present crisis 82,250,000. They have severely depressed the Stock Market and if they continue, the possibility of even an 8% bank rate in London is anticipated.

The Steel Corporation has instructed ita subsidiaries, with a weekly pay-roll of 3,000,000 dollars, to pay only 20% in cash and the rest in cheques. Many rich people are distrusting the banks and hoarding their money.
An all-night conference of financiers took place at Mr. Morgan's residence to consider the situation. The conference ro-met in the afternoon Pessimism is spreading. (Reuter)
76,925 out of 97,031 members of the Amal gamated Society of Railway Servanta voted in favour of the strike. 8,773 opposed it. The rest did not vote. The result was announced at a mas meeting of 10,000 railwaymen in the Albert Hall presided over by Mr. Ellis, M.P. Mr. Bell was enthusiastically received. He reviewed the grievance leading up to the demand for recognition. He declared that 100,980 men received £1 legs weekly, and that 61,500 worked 12 hours a day.
The executive committee, he said, bad considered the advisory council's recommendation and decided on their policy, but pending an interview with Mr. Lloyd George it would be wiser not to refer to it The meeting passed resolution supporting any action the executive committee deemed necessary.

The prevalence of crime in Egypt has led Egyptian Government circles and the Egyptian Press to discuss the best remedy for the evil. It is stated that the ordinary modes of punishment are not having the desired effect of checking crime. To resort to the use of the kurbash is looked upon as a relapse to barbariam, and utterly inconsistent with the spirit of modern civilization. The suggestion is made, therefore, that criminals or "andesirables" in general should be transported to the remote regions of the Sudan. This is believed to be the best means for awing criminala.' The Egyptian tellah, as a role, dreads the idea of leaving his native land and to be banished to the Wilds of the Sudan is worse than death to him. It is alleged, therefore, in support of the suggestion, that the double advantage is thereby gained by Egypt of getting rid of a large namn ter of her criminals and checking the others by the fear of this dreaded punishment. The Sudan too, it is further alleged, will profit by this plan, as it increases its population and helps in the development of its resources.
We have no doubt that this scheme would be beneficial to Egypt, very beneficial indeed Any country should be very happy, if it can get rid of its criminal classes by shipping them off to some other country. The ad. vantage to that "other country," however, is doubtful.
Besides the fnot that on the face of it, it does not look very honourable for the Sudan to be used as the dumping ground for the refuse of Egyptian municipal and provi cial rabble, the scheme suggested may prove a source of much trouble to the country. Who can guarantee that such imported criminals let loose in the remote regions of the Sudan, may not eventually prove a noxious sore to this Government
The Sudan is in need of more people to develop its agricultural and industriale sonroes. It welcomes any man who comes with a capital of money, intelligence or labour to invest in it. As for the worthless unpro | duetive sort of people of the worse than
worthless, the criminal classes, the supply is in excess of the demand. To import more may prove disastrous

The Astronomionl world is in the throes ot preparation for the coming transit of Mercury across the face of the son, which most interesting phenomenon is due to take place on November 14th Dext, and it will be visible all over Egypt to those who are the fortunate possessors of telescopes of even moderate dimensions
Transits of Mercury, though they occur with considerable frequency, (there being six due to occur within the next 83 years) are of no very great astronomical interest, or rather of astronomical importance, as they only afford Wends of sccurately ascertaining the position of the planet, and the data therefrom obtained in of ose in no other computation ; and very different state of affair to that which obtained in former years in connection with the transit of Venus, which, until quite recently, was con sidered of paramount importance in the calculations involved in the computation of the sun's distance. Mercury, (whose diameter is small 3000 miles) having and mean distance of 36 million miles, is quite naturally an insignificant object in point of apparent size as seen crossing the brilliant dise of the sun, but the posessor of a 8 inch telescope properly provided with dark glasses or a special diagonal eyepiece will be amply repaid for preparing to observe this interesting transit, and occurring as it does at a convenient time for amateurs (begios Greenwich 10.94 am. 14th November ; enda 1.49 p.tn. same day.) it will be followed no doubt by numbers in this country
The observer, having his telescope in position and the shades adjusted, should, having his watch set to searate time watch the north East limb of the sun (62° E. of the north point is the calculated point of ingress) and endeavour to get the time to the nearest second of the first appearance of Mercury on the son's surface, he will probably miss this first contact by a few seconds and will first be aware that the phenomenon is taking place by seeing a semi-circular notoh cut out! of the edge of the son ; (this provided his telescope is sufficiently powerful to show the planet clearly). He should then take time of second contact, when the whole of the planet shows clear on the dise of old sol, and from then on to third and fourth contacts he will find ample interest in simply watching the black dise slowly moving across the solar surface, and may, in so doing, be fortunate enough to sote the disputed ring and bright points on the planet's sarface, information about which will be gladly received by our learned societies at home. For the intormation of those interested I append times for Greenwich :

It may interest your readers to learn that Mercury has been known from remote antiquity and we have recorded observations dating as far back as 264 B.C. The existence of the planet was certainly known by the astronomers of Nineveh, who, allading to it in a report to the King of Assyri
a, remarked on its exceeding brightness as an evening star. The discovery also is of remarkable interest wben we consider the difficulties of these ancient astronomers. A bright body was seen after sunset for a time and not seen again may be for years and the puzzled observer, some little time after be lost sight of it, was even more puzzled to find a similar bright object before sunrise Telescopes were not, and as far as we know their observational means were soanty; so it is easy to see how many years must have elapsed before, it was made oleat that these two bodies were one and the same, Oscillating to and fro across the sun or passing close to it, so close as to render continued observations when near it, impossible. It is probable that Mercury will be clearly visible after sunset as an even ing star a week or so after the transit and such is the purity of our atmosphere that we in Egypt will probably never be so unfortunato as the great Copernicus, who it is wid, at the close of his memorable life was heard to express regret that he had never enjoyed an opportunity of beholding the planet.

TIMB BARGAINS DEMANDED.
men for the costo financeiro in
A report has been forwarded from the Britirb Embassy at Berlin of the recent meet. ing of German bankers at Hamburg. The most important and interesting portion of the proceedings from a general point of view was the discussion on the reform of the Bourne Law. It was urged that the entire fundamental idea of the present Bourse Law was falso, as time bargains were essential for the corn market, for the money market, for the State finances, for the agriculturist, the exporter and the im porter, all of whom require time bargains, not in order to speculate, but to insure themselves Against speculation. It was asserted that the Bourse Law had nosed the concentration of power and capital in the big banks, and the consequent declipe of the small banks, that it had ontlawed legitimate business and allowed illegitimate speculation in American and African shares to flourish for the benefit of the foreigner.
Another speaker spoke of the Bourse Law in connection with financial readiness for war. Military experts suggested all sorts of violent financial measures in case of war, but one ought (the speaker said) to do as much as possible by means which would not unnecessarily disturb the ordinary onnditions : such means were the war obest in the Juliusturm, increase of taxation, decrease of expenditure for social objects, subscriptions by communities and individuals and finally loans. For this (the speaker continued) a strong Bourse is required and that has been wantonly destroy ed: the big banks alone cannot provide for the huge loans which would be required; numerous private banks and strong speculation are want ed to find the loans. The possession of foreign stooks is an important reserve in case of war, as it strengthens one's political and commercial position. A strong resolution was passed unanimously, condemning the Bourse Law, demanding that time bargains should onde more be allowed and urging that, in place of the present tax levied on foreign stooks on their importation into Germany, no tax should be paid until they are placed on the home market.
ALEXANDRIA ARCHAEOLOGICAL
SOCIETY The latest Bulletin of the Alexandria Aroheological Society contains some ex ceptionally interesting articles, among which is one devoted to the recent discoveries in the neighbourhood of Mex of some remains of the celebrated monasteries of Ennston.. A short time ago a number of Greek stela were found near Dekheleb of the same epoch as when the monasteries were in existence. These establish ments were among the most celebrated in Egypt and possibly, if the site was systematic Ally excavated, some important discoveries of manuscripts would result. Professer Brescia has bought two inscriptions from a grocer at Mex and also a bas-relief representing Saint Menas. Unfortunately the place where they were discovered is in a quarry near the villago of Dekbeleh and this quarry is being actively worked at the present time. All these discoveries show that the locality was a centre of population during the Christian era and that among othersa very large building existed there. The Persians and the Arabs wrought great havoc in this district and few remnants exist above ground. All these buildings are of about the mixth century, the most ancient bearing the date of 524 A.D. It is to be hoped that the site will be carefully explored and we are glad to note that the committee of the Alexandria Archeological Society has undertaken to assist Professor Breccia in his researches
Another interesting article is devoted to the topography of the Payoom, and is a reprint of the lecture delivered before the Khedivial Geographical Society last April by Mr. Apostolides.
Professor Brescia has two articles on the Decropolis of Ibrahimieh, npon which consider able light has been thrown by the excavations undertaken by Almas Pasha Sabri, the chief eunuch of the Kbedive, and upon the Greek papyri in the Museum of Alexandris. The bibliographical criticisma contain notices of the work of Mr. Gustave Lefevre on the fragment of manuscript of Menander, and of Herr Assmson Ernest's stady, Die Schiffsbilder von Atthiburus and Alexandria (in Lahrbuch den Kaiserlich deutschen Archäologischen Inatitata XXI). Professor Cantarellis work on the Prefects of Egypt from Augustus to Diocletian is reviewed, As are also Messrs. Grenfell and Hunty book on the Tebtunis Papyri, Mr. P.G. Kenyon's catalogue of the Grook Papyri in the British Museum, and M. Jonguet's work on Greek Papyri, which has been issued by the Papyrological Institute of the University of Lille
