(From the Evening Telegram of Yesterday.) Lonvow, April 3, 1876, Lieutenant Cameron, the African explorer, who arrived at Liverpool on Saturday per steamer Congo, told the correspondent of the 7elegram, in conversation this morning, that he did not meet Mr. Stanley's expedition during his travels, but heard reports of his being crippled by desertions from his command. STANLEY'S DANGER, Identenant Cameron’s force also suffered greatly from the same cause, but he was fortunately saved by falling in with a friendly caravan. It is Lieu- tenant Cameron’s opinion that unless Mr. Stanley encounters like assistance his situation will be truly critical. STANLEY UNIVERSALLY LIKED. If Mr. Stanley goes to Nyangwe he will receive every assistance from Dugumbe, the head chief. Mr. Stanley was universally liked by the chiefs ‘whom Lieuténant Cameron met with. They spoke of him in extravagant terms, and all expressed bot only thefr willingness but their anxiety to be of ‘saistance to him, SNGLISE MUNICIPAL HONOR TO WEUTEUNT CAMERON.

Mr. Cave, in nis report on Egyptian finances, says:— at the audience in which I took leave of the Khe- dive, His Highness acquainted me with an error ho re- cently discovered In his calculations affecting the land tax, whereby the revenue at the end of ten years would be more seriously diminished than he had anticipated, to that in 1886 the Egyptian treasury would lose $12,500,000, MR, CAVR'S REPORT—DISHONEST AND WASTEFUL OFri- CIALS CAUSE IMMENSE LOSSES. Mr. Cavo's report shows that Egypt has suffered ‘much from the dishonesty and wastetulness of her off- cale A THRIPTLESS RXPRDIEST. The Khedivo’s government, with the intention of faising enough capital to pay the floating debt, made a law enabling Jand owners to commute the land tax cn terms which entail the sacrifice of half the revenue from this source for all time for the sake of obtaining tleven times the annual amount for the period of twelve yoars, Tho result is disastrous, ‘The sum raised only suffices to pay tho interest on the floating debt. A GLOOMY OUTLOOK, ‘Tho Egyptian revenuc, which now produces about $53,445,350, Will, after 1886, by operation of the above law, lose the annual sum of $12,250,000. ‘The normal expenditure is about $45,403,405, over half of which is devoted to the service of the debt. Every available portion of the revenue is pledged as security for lors.

BREADSTUFFS—REVIEW OF THE GRAIN TRADE. The Mark Lane Ezpress, in ite review of the grain trade for the past week, says agricultural oporations are being prosecuted with vigor. The surmises re- garding probable injury to winter wheat caused by the inclemency of March were mostly unfounded. The future crop, although Tetarded, appearsto offer no Teasonable ground for alarm as to ultimate prospects. In some districts where the bad weather was unasually severe and protracted the inten- tion of sowing wheat has been abandoned and the fields devoted to barleyor beans. It is early to hazard an opinion about the future crop, asthe plant is only beginning to appear and the country is gonerally said to be as bare as it usually is at the end of February. Still, suppoging frosts later on do not injure the plant, the recent cold may even have been beneficial by destroying vermin; a heavy rainfall also materially helps the fertilization of the fields. Trade last week was strictly of a consumptive char- acter. Speculators held aloof. The country markets, however, were not influenced, and the recent advance ‘was tully sustained, Farmers stili continue to market their wheat very sparingly.

He argued that that title was distasteful to tne vast majority of the people and made the point that after the recent argument of Mr. Disraeli the as- sumption of such « title would be an insult tothe Czar. ‘The Earl ot Carnarvon opposed and Lord Seiborne supported the motion, which, after a long devate, was rejected by a vote of 137 to 91, The Royal Titles bill then passed through the com- mittee, DURATION OF THE PARLIAMENTARY RBECESS, Loxpox, April 4, 1876. ‘The Duke of Richmond announced in the House of Lords last night that the Easter recess of Parliament ‘would begin on the 7th and end on the 27th inst, DOCK LADORERS ON STRIKE.

While thus engaged a column of cavalry suddenly passed between him and Matamoros, completely isolating him. ‘MOVE ON THE WORKS. The main body of Diax’s army marched boldly upon the works tn tho upper part of the city, Net a gun was fired from the worka The regular troops and national guard hurrahed for Dias. General Labarra discharged his revolver and then re- treated to the river bank with about twenty-five men. He asked permission to pass, which was granted, on condition of his becoming a prisoner and being dis- armed, He and the detachment aro in Fort Brown. ANOTHER ACCOUNT, Another version is that General Toledo had 600 men, and that when outside they pronounced and joined Diaz General Diaz bas more than 1,000 men. He was received with great rejoicing by the people of Mata- moros, Colonels Parrott and Cristo refused to surrender, Thoy hold some forts. A brisk cannonade is going on, and it is not known what the result maybe. The firing is mostly from Casa Mata and the fort of San Fernando, When Gen- eral Labarra approached the ferry with his escort his own guard fired upon him, supposing it to be the enemy. When Colonel Christo learned that General Labarra was in Fort Brown he surrendered. IN FULL POSSRSSION.

This was outside of the town, The cavalry surrendered. Two pieces of artillery were taken at Monterey Fort by the revolutionists, and carried by hand to some part of the city. The former gunners served them when they wero fring upon Casa Mata, The Twenty-sccond tufantry abandoned the fort of San Fernando. and entored Casa Mata, BRISK FIGHTING. ‘The Oght at Cass Mata was brisk for half an hour, Tho revolutionists attempted to take the worms by storm, and were repulsed. CRISTO SURRENDERS, Just as they were ready for another attempt, a white flag was raised. Colonel Cristo offered his sword to General Diaz; the latter complimented him, and told him to wear his sword. The number of men surren- dered by Colonel Cristo is variously estimated at from 119 to 262. Colonel Parrott was thrown from his horse in sa aflair outside the fort, and is a prisoner.

The Result of the State Election Yesterday. A DEMOCRATIC VICTORY. Ingersoll’s Majority Esti- mated at 5,000. WAIT ELECTED TO CONGRESS. The Senate Four Republicans and Seventeen Democrats, A Democratic Majority of Thirty in the House, Haxrvorp, Conn., April 8, 1876, Snow ushered in election day in Connecticut, anda driving rain continued to fall from ten o'clock in the morning until late at night. The prognostications of republicans and democrats as to the result of the election wore somewhat similar, and from the start it was conceded that the latter would win tho fight; but the main questions were as to Ingersoll’s ma- Jority and the probability of throwing upon the Legislature tho election of the State ticket. Much more interest was manifested in tho contest than the dulness of tho canvass indicatod, Tho weather, no doubt, interfered materially with the number of yotes cast Tho extent Of the inflation votes was awaited with much anxiety by the republicans, If their vote went into the thou- fands then some light broke through the forebodings of defeat for that party. This inflation tssue had de- veloped a new and additional canvass in the politics of Connecticut and no prophet could in any way deter- mine the probable strength of the organization. The total vote cast for Governor last year amounted to 100,984, of which Ingersoll (democrat) received 53,752, Greone (republican), 44,272, and Smith (prohibi- {honist) 2,943; tho balance being placed as scattering. This gave Ingersoll a majority over all of 6,540. Tho Legislature had a majority of twenty-seven democrats, and the Senate a majority from the same party by nine, Tt was up bill work to battle with such a precedent to- day. Republican apathy has been observable from the start, and this was a subject frequently canvassed to- day among many of the rank and file of that party. The leaders—such men as General Hawley, Postmaster General Jewell, Mr. Lynde Harrison, Chairman of the State Committes, and others—ciaim that the canvass was conducted as efficiently and with as much enthusiasm as consistent with the Peculiar complerion of affairs in the State, but other reasons evidently operated in this connection. It was considered a bad time to launch out bolaly and hold frequent meetings throughout the State. Oratorical powers were contracted; dangerous ground bad to be trodden over. The news from Washington was daily growing worse and worse. National corruption in the Cabinet and in tho household of the President was blazoned beforo the exes of the country. Repub- can speech makers met thoso Grant sentinels bofore them as they stood up to address an audience. There- fore we had little of the usual tar barrel, fifo and drum, flag and platform business so common dur- ing the political campaign. Many republicans assert that it would be far bettor if there had been more of this style of work. The people’s cars were wide open to drink in some apologetic inspiration from the lips of republicans for the sins of the administration at Wash- ington. But it was not thought judicious to have many meetings, and Connecticut was allowed to drift, General Walker and Gencral Hawley, in masterly specches during the last hour of the canvass, were the only two who took the bull fairly by the horns in this dilemma of their party. Thoy talked ofasing the scalpel and the seething iron until all the ulcers of corruption wore thoroughly cauterized out of the body of the ro- publican party. Then, and then only, would the people rally once more in large majorities and the stand. ards of republicanism as the only safe harbor of prin- eiples for the voters of this country, General Hawley denounced in vigorous terms such men as Belknap, and rapped at Grant’s door rather mildly, it must bo ad- mitted, with the assertion that His Excellency was unfortunate in some of his family connections, POSTMASTER GENERAL JEWELL Postmaster General Jewell came in from Washing- ton, and was here to-day.

Rumor sent the word around the State to-day that Senator English came to him with the needful whenever and wherever required; the telegraph flashi instructions to this effect to trasty democratic agents in various quarters during the afternoon, directing them to close up the ranks with golden links when a stampede was threatened. CLOSE OF THE POLLS, The polls closed at five o’clock and the retarns began to come into Hartiord from the different towns shortly before seven. It was soon ascertained from tho gain of Representatives in several of the districts that tho democrats had again won the battle. There was a gen- eral rejoicing at the democratic headquarters and a corresponding gloom atmong tke republicans. The three newspaper offices in lord were crowded with citizens seeking to substantiate tho figures, but there came small gicams of sunlight. Hartford, ast year, gave Ingersoll 1,257 ma- donty, while to-day he only 8 about When ninety-two towns had mn heard | from the republican gain was found to be 528 trom that of the last canvass, The greenback vot en 102 | towns had been beard trom at nine o’ ounted to only 600, so it was then thoroughl; dersiood that this element would not amount to thing in de- termining the issue, The last feeble rock upon which the republicaos their hopes was, therefore shattered, With the same number of towns heard from only 1,200 votes had been recorded for the pro- hibition ticket, This was also a clear mdication that the tem) nce men bad also fallen back, and would not como near their latest vote of nearly 3,000, There ‘was now no chance whatever for the republican State teket. ‘A count bere showed 102 democratic representatives and fifty-four republicans, The Legisiatcre was, therefore, likely to havea larger ic rity ballot. Even if Inger. soll fsiled to receive a majority over all, he bad the Logislature to fall back upon. THR DEMOCRATS CARRY NEW HAVES.

In this locality Ingersoll’s former majority the democrats carriod also cut down, Xen about 1,000, lost the Senatorial New Haven by district in the choice of Merwin, but this is accounted for by the groat ar Bowers, several demo- toute votes, for bis vind hod m consequence, At twelve o'clock 143 towns were heard from, with the following results:— 1, os Fs aa sare, Ingersoll! jocratic.
