lBRAHIM PAcHA, IN LoNpoN.-The
Pennsylvania translates the following an.
ecdotes respecting this illusirious guest Of
John Bull, from an article in the y. York
"Deutsche Sclaelipost," extracted from the
Cologne "Zcitung." Each anecdote is
worthy of Punch:


Al Mivarl's hotel, where the Egyptian
prince resided, one of the walters, in his
ignorance Of Turkish manners, had dared
to lay his christian hands on The sacred
slippers of his highness, for the purpose OF
dusting them. Observing this, the slaves
Of the prince darted like lightning on the
astonIshed waiter, pulled off the offenders
shoes, and was about 10 administer the
bistinado; but the cries Of "murder'' and
''fire saved him from the blows, as police
inspector on duty in the house ran forward
and informed the parties that English free
dom did not allow this summary exercise of
the Turkish code Of law. Like the thunder
after the lightning, there followed from
lbrahm, who WAS frantic with rage, blow
from the ash-whip--which he al
ways carries with him, upon the shoulders
oil the officer of the law, and il was not un
tIl several policemen were called in, that
the Pacha could be forcibIy quie,cd. The
affair will not be legally investigated, as in
that case the residence Of the illustrious
guest in England might be nvoluntarily
extended longer than he intends.


AT the visit Of the Pacha to the Thames
Tunnel, on taking his departure he was po-
litely requested to seat himself in the chair
near the entrance, in which il Is usual to
weigh the visitcrs; but Ibrahim, Suspicious
by nature, made one Of his suit of about his
own size, take his place; who, to The aston.
ishment and honored by the curses of his
royal master, rose from il perfectly safe;
the latter believing that some trick was
about to be played, and that at least one of
his ears would be lost in the operation.


But the person who gave the greatest
offence TO lbrahim Pacha was the governor
Of the Bank Of England This amiable
gentleman had placed a roll Of bank notes
in the hands of his Egyptian highness, OBJ
serving that their value was one million
pounds sterling. His highness, laughing
heartily, was about depositing the bank
notes in his roomy nnmentionables, when
MIR. Heath, the governor Of the bank, hasti.
ly sta,ched them away, and with shake
OF his head. again locked them up in the
drawer from which he had taken them
The interpreter had much trouble to make
the Pacha comprehend that the intention
had only been TO show and no, 10 give theta
70 him; for Ibrahim firmly believed that
this million sterling ought to have been a
"backsheesh." (present,) and went away
muttering that ''it was a scurvy trick they
had taken the liberty of playing upon him. '
