He reached Cairo in the afternoon,' but from an early hour in the morning the streets wtre crowded with people, and the scone was most animated and striking. At 2 o'clock bauds of military music, chiefly fifes and drums, were heard in many directions, and, as if by magic, the British regiments-filed along in a double, rank from the station, round by Shepherd's Hotel and Abdeii Palace to Ismailia Palace. At half past 2, the Khedive's consort arrived, and drove rapidly followed by other carriages with ladies of the harem, to her destination. She was received with shrill exclamations from the women on the house tops. A correspondent, describing the scene, says at 3 p.m. the trajn drew alqngside, (he Guards presented arms, a gim was fired, and the band struck up, nqt tlie "Khedivial Hymn," but'' God Save the Queen," In the open balcony of the saloon carriage was seen the Khedive, in uniform, with the Star ot India on his breast, "With him was Sir E. Malet, Sherif Fakri, and Abdurrahman, Pashas Dugrane Bey, and M. Lemasßßurior, of the Railway Administration, Kiaz Pasha : approached the oarriage, and had some conversation with the Khedive, the purport of which was guessed when His Highness went to meet the Duke of Connanght, and then his Royal Highness and the Khedivo entered the carriage together, There waß then a further pause until the cry of "Wolseley" passing down the ranks, drew attention to a man who made his way through the crowd, and the viotor of Tel-el;kebir received the thanks of the Prince whose throne he had re-established, The Khedive had stepped out of his carriage when Riaz Pasha, rapidly driving through the crowd, emerged on the scene with ten or fifteen' of the Ulema in attendance. I was within three yards of the Khedivo, and narrowly scanned his countenance as they cringed before him, There was no sign of recognition _ of, their greeting, A shadow of loathing and contempt passed over his face as ho recognised among thorn all the men who, with j two exceptions, happily in their prime, had prostituted themselves; I 'and' then cringed to Arabi, : but on. the. Sheikh El-Azar, and had to the last remained loyal, coming to him, re raised his hand in-' greeting. After a pause, a ihort prsyir of thanksgiving for the Khedive's; return-was said, and every Ulema 1 grovel' 1 lod at' his' feet m te'iaid' ameW' Mi Pasha then stepped forward, and with a shout-that seemed impossible to proceed' from such a frail body, cried " Effendis phoken Eshor" (long live the Khedive.) Three timos the crowd took up the cheer, the bandagain played the British National Anthem, and Tewfik passed on. Small boys from .the Khedive school took up the cry, which from their lips sounded, •suspioiously like "Effendi, choke, bur. | usher," and the carriage containing the Khedive on the right, with the Duke of Cbnhaught at his Bide, faced by Sir E; Malet and Sir Garnet Wolseley', 3 drove off through Jong 'avenues of English and Indiirj iroq'p's to the Ismailia Palace,
