EEC-SB'S TBLEOBAMS. Londo***, April 7. The Bight Hon. John Bright is suffering from slight congestion of the lungs. The body of His lale Boyal Highness, the Duke of Albany, was entombed today in the mausoleum at Frogmore, Windsor. Her Majesty the Queen, and various members of the Boyal Family attended the ceremony, which was of a most solemn and imposing character. Among the wreaths placed on the Prince's coffin was one forwarded by the Agents. General on behalf of the colonies. Further parleying which has been proceeding between the representatives of England and Spain, with a view to the conclusion of a fresh commercial treaty, has proved fruitless, and the negotiations have now ceased. Charles Beade, the well-known novelist and dramatist is reported to be in a dying state. Telegrams are to hand announcing that the steamship Daniel Steinmann, 1,790 tons, from Antwerp, has become a total wreck on the coast of Nova Scotia, and 120 persons have been drowned. The last words which the Duke of Albany uttered were " Mother. Windsor. Egypt." The French Government made an offer of a warship to escort the yacht containing the corpse. News of Major-General Grahams's success over the rebels near Tamaneb, has been received with great satisfaction in England. Caiho, April 5. Latest despatches from Souakim announce that Major General Graham has left that place for this city. The detachment of Sir Evelyn Wood's forces, now stationed in Egypt, have been ordered to proceed to Souakim to form a garrison to be kept at that port. Intelligence has been received from Kassala, a town in Soudan, near the frontier of Abyssinia, that the Egyptian garrison there is in a critical condition, and the Governor of the town has appealed to the British Government for aid.
