[Pisa Electric Telegraph—Copyright.} [Reuter’s Telegrams.] (Received Feb. 13, 8.55 p.m.) London, Feb. 14. The first portion of the Tongariro’s shipment of frozen mutton was placed on the market to-day, and realised 5(1. per pound. The lowness of the price is attributed to the smallness of the carcases. Cairo, Feb. 14. Telegrams are to band from Souakim, stating that the rebels who have been encamped in the neighborhood are dispersing. The despatch of the brigade of Egyptian troops, which was under orders to proceed to Assouan, with the view of checking any advance of the rebels into Egypt proper, has been abandoned. The latest intelligence from Souakim states that five of the garrison who lately evacuated Sinkat after the destruction of the forces commanded by Tewfik Bay, have arrived at Souakim, accompanied by several women. Their statements fully confirm the account of the fall of Sinkat previously reported. Hong Kong, Feb. 14. The anti-Christian riots have been continued in Tonquin, and fifty more Christians have been massacred near Hue.
