Jlbdkalion of Mchemet Jlli. - The most extraordinary item of intlligence is that Mehetnet AU, tbe Pacha of Ëgypt, has abdicated h8 (hrone in favor of his eon Ibrahim, and hae gone on a pilgnmage lo Mècca. Thérè is a great deal of curiosity expres'Sed as to' the causo of thÍ3 singular movcmcht.' The óld 6ovcreig:rr was in excellent health, and, up totho hour of hts abdieation, and full of Jife, projects, and plans as ever. The nbdication occurred immcdiately nfter a Convenlion had boen concJuded with Sir H. Hardmse, the English Governor General of India, who stopped at Alexandrw on his way, by which the sovereignty of Egypt is guarantied to Meheniet, in consideration of his allowing a passage to the English throngli Egypt. The London Timea thus spenks of this event: Since the Emperor Charles V., retired to the monostery of St. Juef, the vvorld has scarcely witnessod so singular and unexpected an act of voluntary abdieation as that of Meberait Ali, which has just been nnnounced by the French telegraph. Although the retirement of the Pacha of Egypt from public affaire to the precincts of the holy citips, connot be compared, in political importance, to the seciusion óf ihe anglist head of the House of Austria in the I6th centnry, yet, as an instance of individual Torce of character, it is not less remarcable; and it would seem as if the most signal renunciations of political great ness were to crown the lives oï those men who have been most eager in pursuit of it.
