4BDEL-KADEZ3 PRESENT TO TER EMPEROR

NAPOLEON.

Two of the most perfect horses that Abd-el-
Hailer has been able to find, after a long search, in all Arabia
are on their way to Paris as a present to the Emperor from
the old chieftain. The announcement is made in the follow-
ing letter from him to the Minister of Foreign Affairs :
" Ever since my residence was fixed at Damascus I have
never ceased to look out for stallions for the Emperor's
skid, which, in point of purity of blood and those other
qualities which my experience and special knowledge
enable me to judge of, should come up to the standard
of my ideas. Whenever I heard of a stallion among
the tribes bounded by Egypt, Irak, and Hodder
I never failed to make the most particular inquiries about
him. I was long, however, before finding any horse com-
bining that purity of blood and perfection of form and quali-
ties which I had set my mind upon. I went myself among
the Arab tribes of Nedj and Mesopotamia, at the time when
they were in the neighbourhood of Damascus, but could
not meet with what I wanted. At length, however, I here
found a dark bay stallion with black mane and—taiL newt
seven years Old, nob as Is not to be matched in all the tribes
of the &sort. His reputation is so great that the Bedouin
Arabs wouldtakestwentydayi journey, and mom, to take a
mare to him. I have besides selected a three-year-old colt,
who, for beauty and noble race, is unequalled. The Arabs can
trace his family for fifty generations, pure from any cross-
ing. Desiring to present these house to his Majeety, I
beg your Excellency to send the necessary orders to the
French consul at Bsyrout to have them embarked with
the grooms in charge of them, in order that they may be
*go to his Imperial Majesty.
rSalutation on the part of your devoted Abd-el-Kader,
ace of Mshy-Eddin. " AID-XL-KADIR."
General Fleury, the Emperor's principal (mayor, ham
taken all necessary measures for bringing these precious
horses to Frame in the best possible condition.

The Bombay Saturday Review says Bombay will
figure as well in the labernational Exhibition as in
those of 1851 and 1854. Then is a very extensive
series of raw vegetable prudes*, which has been
named and catalogued with the greatest pains. Our cotton
in particular has bean done full justice. Every cotton,
woollen, and silken fabric has also been obtained in every dis-
trict of the presidency, in order that home manufacturers
may vividly appreciate the manufacturing power of this
country, and be stimulated to competition by the sight of
the market they may command if they are as able as will-
ing. There are of showy ansagaotorm, the silver work of
Oat*, the carved weed of Gusset sal Bombay, the em-
broidery of fliadh, the Mika* of Band and Ahmedabad,
the ',pies of Brea* the Wald work of Bombay, and the
various fancy arthisa of thswlllli wanes. The black wood

INDIA.

We have resolved par letters and newspapers
*Om Calcutta to Fe k. 22. The following is au ex-
*lot from the ()Iswissod Friend of India :
Of Assam Cheirapoonjee and Sylliet we have little to report.
Sienna Shower, who commands thedivision, healeft for the
some of operstioas, with another native regiment, the 33rd,
from Barrackpore. The last telegram reports Magis-
trate of Sylhet writes that Lieutenant Udny and his party
are all ate. Major Rowlett writes up to 12th February,
that only four stockaded villages are taken and burnt.
Our loss two killed and 17 wounded. Rebels' lossls killed:
number of wounded unknown. The rebels still hang
together in large bodice. A few have returned to
their homes, but none as yet have surrendered or been cap•
tared." In Sumbulpore matters are at last quiet, and
Major Rattray, who was commanding the force of military
police, has left. The greatest haunt of Tantia Tepee and
the rebel cbiefs of Central India in 1858-59 was the Lullut-
pore jangle. We have intelligence that on the 7th instant
Duriaow Sing, the Thakoor outlaw, was killed at
his ancestral village al Deoram in this district,
by the military polka sod the detachment of the
Bereft levy statiosed at the thannah of Murowrs.
Hs set fire to his hut so that, according to Rajpoot honour,
be and his might perish together. When the flames were
somewhat subdued his body was dragged oat, and it was
discovered that a bullet in the heed hod killed him. His
death will tend greatly to setae this past of the country,
which he and other outlaws lave kept in a disturbed state
since the mutiny.
Only two other Thames DOW remain in outlawry, Davos
Sing and Oundrup Sing, a Make of Duriaow. Gradually
in Central India sod at Bembolpore, the last relics of the
mutineers are being picked up. None but Asiatic free-
booters anti mutineers would have so Meg maintained a
desperate and hopeless contest.
