Everybody expected a continuation of the excitement and boom tgat attended the market for the last three or four days, and it was quite a surprise when a period of comparative dullness set in accompanied by a depression which has lasted through the entire day. We thought ourselves yesterday that*to-day would witness a further advance ,|and were more tlian confirmed in this opinion when early in the morning we received notice from Messrs. H. B. Hollinn & Co. calling in all our boirowed Lake Sfoore.

Wilkeh-Barhe, Juno 15.—A terrific explosion of gas occurred in the Stanton air shaft this morning, wherein James Carey was instantly killed, and John Welsh, Michael Lynch. Htighes, and Edward Fjnnigan were probably fatally injured. The Stanton colliery belongs to Chits. Parrish A Co., and is located on Brewery Hill, near the Lehigh & Susquehanna Railroad track. It is a mine (xxntliarly susceptible to rapid accumulations of gas and is regarded as one of the most dangerous in the region on that account Notwithstanding this knowledge was general the vjptims to this disaster went into the air-shaft with a naked lamp, the gas was ignited with the above "stated lamentable result. The airshaft tias lDeen in progress of sinking for the I wist two years. It has* reached the depth of seven hundred and fifty feet, and will have to be driven 150 feet more to reach the" Baltimore vein, the required depth.

Dickinson &• Franeois' store window was most artistically arranged with their wares last night. . The prime cause of all tho Egyptian troubles is that the relations between the Kfiedive and his Suzerain, and between tho former and the Western Powers are essentially false. The Sultan was at the bottom of Arabia's outbreak. He and his colleagues claimed the right to resist the Khedive in the name and by the authority of the Sultan, while England and France, although tlioy had established the Khedive on the throne, did not frankly say that they would maintain him on it. In ,Eastorn countries it is essential that power should be clearly defined. Putting aside all questions of a Constitution, either the executive power mu?t be vested in the Sultan or pi the Khedive, and the Egyptians must dearly know In which of the two it is vested.

They are ready to use the name of the Sultan or of liborty in order to attain their own ends, which are to acquire place and wealth. Unfortunately, they were able to humbug Sir Wiilinm Gregory, who had parsed a week or two in Egypt, aud Mr. Wilfred Blunt, an entliysiast. who spends his lime riding about the Hast on an Arab hone or a camel, and these two geutlemen wrote home lengthy letters, explaining that Arabi was the purest of patriots. 2. The educated youth of Egypt. These young men, with some reason, complained that the officials connected with the control were poorly paid, and that in all cases Europeans wore preferred to Egyptians, and their protests ought to meet with due consideration. 3. The Bedouins. Those Arabs hate the Turks, and entirely ignore the Sultan. They care very littlo whether the finances are under EurojMjan or Egyptian control, aud they are perfectly satisfied, with the Khedive. 4. The fellahs. These constitute the agricultural inhabitants of the Delta and of tho Nile Valley. Their object is to be afiowed to live and thrive. They are hard-working and patient, arid their strongest passion is to acquire money. Under Ismail they wore pillaged, and yet, rather -than own whero they had secreted a few coins, they allowed themselves to bo cruelly lieaten. To them the control and the lietter administration which has resulted from it have proved unmixed blessings, and they only ask for these blessings to continue. THE POLITICAL U1VLS10NS IN EGYPT.

Wilkeh-Barhe, Juno 15.—A terrific explosion of gas occurred in the Stanton air shaft this morning, wherein James Carey was instantly killed, and John Welsh, Michael Lynch. Htighes, and Edward Fjnnigan were probably fatally injured. The Stanton colliery belongs to Chits. Parrish A Co., and is located on Brewery Hill, near the Lehigh & Susquehanna Railroad track. It is a mine (xxntliarly susceptible to rapid accumulations of gas and is regarded as one of the most dangerous in the region on that account Notwithstanding this knowledge was general the vjptims to this disaster went into the air-shaft with a naked lamp, the gas was ignited with the above "stated lamentable result. The airshaft tias lDeen in progress of sinking for the I wist two years. It has* reached the depth of seven hundred and fifty feet, and will have to be driven 150 feet more to reach the" Baltimore vein, the required depth.

Dickinson &• Franeois' store window was most artistically arranged with their wares last night. . The prime cause of all tho Egyptian troubles is that the relations between the Kfiedive and his Suzerain, and between tho former and the Western Powers are essentially false. The Sultan was at the bottom of Arabia's outbreak. He and his colleagues claimed the right to resist the Khedive in the name and by the authority of the Sultan, while England and France, although tlioy had established the Khedive on the throne, did not frankly say that they would maintain him on it. In ,Eastorn countries it is essential that power should be clearly defined. Putting aside all questions of a Constitution, either the executive power mu?t be vested in the Sultan or pi the Khedive, and the Egyptians must dearly know In which of the two it is vested.

They are ready to use the name of the Sultan or of liborty in order to attain their own ends, which are to acquire place and wealth. Unfortunately, they were able to humbug Sir Wiilinm Gregory, who had parsed a week or two in Egypt, aud Mr. Wilfred Blunt, an entliysiast. who spends his lime riding about the Hast on an Arab hone or a camel, and these two geutlemen wrote home lengthy letters, explaining that Arabi was the purest of patriots. 2. The educated youth of Egypt. These young men, with some reason, complained that the officials connected with the control were poorly paid, and that in all cases Europeans wore preferred to Egyptians, and their protests ought to meet with due consideration. 3. The Bedouins. Those Arabs hate the Turks, and entirely ignore the Sultan. They care very littlo whether the finances are under EurojMjan or Egyptian control, aud they are perfectly satisfied, with the Khedive. 4. The fellahs. These constitute the agricultural inhabitants of the Delta and of tho Nile Valley. Their object is to be afiowed to live and thrive. They are hard-working and patient, arid their strongest passion is to acquire money. Under Ismail they wore pillaged, and yet, rather -than own whero they had secreted a few coins, they allowed themselves to bo cruelly lieaten. To them the control and the lietter administration which has resulted from it have proved unmixed blessings, and they only ask for these blessings to continue. THE POLITICAL U1VLS10NS IN EGYPT.
