Horse Kucing Near CatromEntries, the Riders und the Contests. {Cairo (Nov. 26) Correspondence of London Post.) Should any ingenious youth desire to collect the “Pulverem Olympicum” in unmistakable style he cannot Go better than enter, ran and ride a horse at Cairo, or rather at Abbassiel, a suburb about four miles off, which is at once the Newmarket and Ep- som of Egypt.» Here you may witness a Derby and a@ Leger; and the preponderance of weight-Sor-age Taces over vicious handicaps, and the total absence of Nail-mile spins, would gladden tue hearts of all honest, old- fashioned turfites, In this country they think nothing of racing—not walking or trotting— for three or even five miles, and their weights range as high as thirteen stone, ‘The course itseif and the adjacent training ground would make a Newmar- ket lad’s hair stand on end; and, when I soy that ue Long Valley at Aldershot 16 comparatively good ‘‘yoing,’? your muitary readers, wt any rate, will be able to conceive the pleasures of @ *mount.” The Arab horses and jockeys: always go off at score when the flag falis, and “Deuce take the hindinost” is the universal motto, so that if # stranger should aspire to ride a scientifie waiting race he may probably be blinded with dust or knocked out of ume by a shower of tints. If you prefer not to ahow the way you must hie “weil up,” or you may as well go home to your stable. The business of the race course is conducted on very primiitve principl and a sight of the weights and scales would make Mr. Manning open his eyea considerably wide, After spending halt an hour in the weyghing room { came to the conclusion that a “smart” jockey might carry pretty well what he pleased. Fortunateiy, accidental vices do not ap pear to prevail, and everything seemed to be “on the square."? The only objectionable weakness which Oriental owners betray 18 a penchant for running five year olds as threes. ‘The starting Js admirably mauaged, and Mr. McGeorge’s labors would be con- sideranly lightened if his “fields” were as tractable as those out here, | fancy one secret of (the success is that the starter, having collected his horses well 1p the rear of the starting post, invariably despatches them at the first attempt. if Ladd that bookmaking is unknown, and it is rare for a oorse to be backea for a filty pound note, the starter’s skill will, 1 think, be tolerably accounted for. On Tuesday last s “grand extraordinary autuvin meeting’ was held in honor of the Emperor of Austria, and a really capital day’s racing ensued, ‘The tielils were large, the Lorses of tolerable quality, Lue nishes closely contested and tue “pots”? mostly apsel. A proper local coloring was given to the sports by the addition of a donkey and aromedary race. ‘rae Viceroy encourages turf pursuits really and substantially, for at these mectings the euiries are all free, and his Highness fads the whole of the added money, which on this occasion amounted to over 21,900. ‘This Kind of liberality enables owners to pay their training bills and to face the Exyptiaa Weatherby with great salusfaction; but it requires the generosity and insouciance of an Oriental dis- Position to Maimtain » large stud Of horses and then run exclusively for one's own money. 1 think if the Khedive were to spend a week at Newmarket the Jockey Chub could hardly fai ro give him a few les- sons in judicious econoiny, W there is any tratn ip the force of example, On Monday last the “correct card”? announced teu races, and they were run olf With most prawseworty despatch; jor although, owlag to the tardy arrival of the royal party, the first event was not decided Lili past two o'clock, 16 was all over by hallpase five, at which hour a iy suficient light remained for the jockeys to see their horses’ ears. ‘The first race, Jor maiden Arabs, Was won by an outsider, Djellan, belonging to Akif Wey, Kolettan-lamri second, and Tsdan- dar third—a trio, 1 fancy, that would have detied the whole ring to peocil their names. The ext stake wept to tie viceregui staole, being a very hoilow victory for Et-ingisi, Maziaum second, The scene Was tuen enlivcued by a contest between three dromedaries, Who shambied along at a curious pace between @ ran anda canter, and altuough tiey ape peared to go very slow, the winner eventually fc. coinplished his six iniles in twenty-three minutes and seven seconds, Which Was hot bad for such une wieidy, untrained brutes, Colonel Stantou’s Charice won the fourth race, aad his success may be mainly attributed to.tue admirable riaing of William Ward, formeriy with Mr. Merry, and now the Viceroy’s head lad. Of the other races the Khedive won two aad Rauf Pasha one; but the “great gun” with the large stud, Ali Pasba, strange to say, Was not suc- cessful once througiout the day, ‘ihe donkey race fided badiy and was a taine aifatr, bot the two mile od # balf straggie between Sheikhs and Bedowns exclusively Was curious enough, Eight or tea of hem went off a8 bard as tuey could split, and never ceased whipping wod spurring the whole way, taeir flowing wite garments sireaming behind them, and their usually wedate faces convulsed with unwonted excitement. A mean looking litue gray wok the lead and kept it, eventually winning by & distance, ‘The grand stand and enclosure are commodious evongt, aud were never inconveniently crowded. Racing 1s evidently not a popular pastiine with tue Egyptians, and, notwithstanding the extra aitrac- tions of 9 real Emperor and an excellent military bund, very few natives were preseut. The liveral hospitality of the Viceroy Was again extended to all comers, and in & capacious tent adjoining the stana & SUMptuous cold collation, With unilmited supplies ot champagne, was prepared, and here every one was at liberty to regale himself during the after- fivon, nor were tne company at all siow to avail tierselves of the privilege. The entertamment was excellent; but xr. Tod ileatiey need not ivok to his laurels, Not even the King of Egypt can com. pete with the renowned tent on Epsom owns. ‘Tue Emperor and Viceroy drove up the course in semi-state, after the Ascot Heath fashion, and were greejed with some applause when tiey ap- peared on the balcony of the royal stand, looking like Imiilers after their dusty four mile drive, Alter the flith race they quitted the race course and pro ceeded to another part of the open plain, where about 7,000 troops were drawn up for tuspection. A marci past oniy took place and .no powder was burned—tie only tat indication of economy that t have perceiver during Iny stay in Egypt. The road back to Cairo was as dusty as that from Hpsom ona Dervy day; but there aii similarity ends.

Embarkstion of the Remains on Board . the Monarch—ihe Funeral Cor- tege--Ceremonial on Deck— Lord Howe's Monument in the Abbey. {Portsmouth (Dec. U2) een oaenre of London News, The remains of Mr. Peabody were removed from Westminster Abbey this morning, brought bere b; special train and received on board the Monarch this afternoon, and conveyed this evening to ous head, where the ship now rides at anchor, In ence to the wishes of those who have been charged with the embarkation, the entire proceedings were conducted with a8 much privacy as the nature of the occasion permitted, ‘The coffin was taken from Westiminsger Abbey in alinost a secret manner. At balf-past sven this morning, before it was fully tight, the Dean of Westminster, accompanied by Lord John Thynne, the subdean, met Mr. George Peaboay Rus Kell, the eldest male representative of the family; Sir Curtis Lampson and Mr. Charles Reed, M. P., the two executors, at the temporary vault, uear the western entrance; and. without formality of any Kind, the comin, which had been enclosed within a special case, covered with black cloth, was trang ferred to the private station of the London and Southwestern Railway Company, in Wesuninster briage road. ‘This company, with the London, Brighton and South Coast Company, had offered to place @ special train at the disposal of the executors without cost, and the offer first made was the one accepted. During the morning num- bers of persons lagered around the approaches to the Abbey expectiug to witness the removal, the geueral idea being that it Would be at noon, During the temporary resung of the body im its place of honor visitors in large numbers came to the Abbey to see the spot, although all that was visi- ble was a large square of black cloth, with » ty eoaaueailee inarking the whereabouts of the vault. It was often noticed, as at least a singolar coinci- dence, that one of the jew monuments in the Abbey bearing reference to Aiuertca was placed within @ few yards of the late puilanthropist’s remains, and the singularity was heightened by the circumstance that the tablet recorded events connected with the history of Mr. Peabody's own State—Massacnu- setts, This monument is the memorial erected by order of “the Province of Massachusetts Bay, in New England, by an order of the great and generat court, bearing date February 1, 1759," to the memory of Brigadier General Viscount Howe, who in the July of the previous year was slain while marching his Majesty’s forces to Ticonderoga, The gallan) oMcer was only ;thirty-three years old, and during the troubles we had at that time with the French he had done good service not only to his own coun try but the New England State. It was under thé shadow of this tribute to the worth of an Knghsh wan by Massaehuseits tuat in the dim light of this morning fina: homage was paid to the worth of ¢ Massachusetts tian by England. ‘The speciai train to tuis town left London at mida- day, under charge of Mr. Wiliams, and conveying tt addition to the relative and executors above men tioned Mr. Motley, the American Ambassador; Mr, Morgan, representing the trustees of the Peabody fund, and Mr, Sower the deceased's secretary Along the line, at Guildford especially, crowds at the railway stations as the train passed showed theit silent sympathy with its object. In Portsmouth, where the rain had been pouring for some ttme, few preparations bad been ma whling as the iniabit ants were to manifest their respect to Mr. Peabody's memory, ‘The tempestuous weather, however, did not prevent some hundreds of spectators exposing themselves to cold and wet for an hour or two In ordes to witness the embarkation, ‘he Mayor and corpo: ration, in civic attire, were present; otherwise there Was slight display beyond what was incidental to the mustering of the officers and crew of one of the finest ships in the English navy, ne Monarch lay close to the rmiway jetw in we dockyard and the courteous commander, Captain Commereil, a Victo- Tla cross wearer, as well as a C. B., allowed those who desired the privilege to see the apartinent into which the coffin will be towered when the ship gete to sea, which wiil most likely be some time during Monday. It is mM the extreme stern of the ship and close 0, indeed part of, the oiicers' cabins. The bia cloth, while satin cords, festoous or black and wihtte, immortelles, tail wax lights im huge silver candlesticks, tour either side of vie bier, siiver brackets with smal candies around the chapel, and the monogram * Pp.” freely interspersed, have been already de- scribed. The only recent addition 1s the American eagie, facing the entrance, in a device of silver, plainly stowlng the inscription, “# #luridus Unum.” The chapel ix separated from the rest of the ship at present merely py heavy foids of black curtam, and unmediateiy without, as if keeping watch and ward, stands one of the immense pieces of ship artillery for which the Monarch is famous, and whose carriage and fixtures happen to be jaid: down at this particular place. Not far from the Monarch, but at another jetty, the American cor- vette, the Plymouth, was moored, and sne will swam out of harbor on Monday, in readiness to accompany her Engiish sister as consort. There are not many other vessels just now tn haroor, siiniougD from the many permanent inhanitants of which the waters can always buast, the port never looks empty. ‘That. however, signiiled but litte to-day, for the merciless southwester enveloped us in a driving vei) of rain aud opscured the surroundings to such pur- pose that the Isle of Wight, which generaliy gives a clearly defined background to the scene, dimly ap. peared rather like a gloomy cloud than its own bright self. The spestatora who clustered together withtn sight of the Monarch consequently had their powers of endurance put to the severest test. The expected train, WiLhout halting at the station, came through the dockyard, to within a few feet of the Monarch. The municipai authorities lined ong side of the passage; the marines of the Monarch and Piymouth the other. On board the Monarcn there Was a general musi#t of the crew along the edge of the level deck from the gaugway forward. The om. cers mustered on the quarter deck, near the pavilion where the coffin ts to remain until the ship weighs anchor, When te train approached, at three o’clock, the Monarch displayed her ensign lalf mast and the American ens! abreast of the foretopmast crosstrees, the other siitps in harbor tmuitating her example. Miuute guns were fired from ihe Duke of Wellington, in the midst of which the mourners, alighting from the train, were received by Admiral Hope, as citef of the dockyard. ‘The coin was re- moved from the funeral car and borne on the shoul- ders of twelve men up the gongway. In spite of the sindied plamness of ihe ceremony and the personal discom(ort of ail preseat, these proceedings were felt to be solemn and touching, Marines and seamen from various ships were paraced at on different points. e deud march was com- menced by the dockyard band as the pro- cession moved forward, the marines of both countries leaned on their arms and the oMcers and men on board stood uncovered—a mark of respect pald also by the crowds on shore. A dis- charge of smail arms from the bows of the fagsmp was added to the minute guns.
