The statement that tho Mediterranean squadron had been ordered to rendezvous at Souakim is incorrect. The squadron is not about to proceed to the Red Sea, but a force of 1200 marines to be drafted from the ships under Lord John Hay's command for service at Souakim, and will be despatched thither at an early date. A further force of 800 marines, now stationed at Portsmouth, are also under orders to proceed to the same destination. Tho wool market continues quiet. The new arrivals to date for the next auctions amount to 250,000 bales. (Received February 9, 1.10 a.m.) February 8. The telegram published by the Daily News in its issue yesterday, stating that Gordon Pasha was a captive in the hands of the rebels near Korosko. has been authentically contradicted, and the report is stated to be without foundation.
