ASSASSINATION A 7 MEDINA.

A letter from Djeddah, in the Levant Herald
of the sth, says :—" The latest item of news in
this quarter is the assassination of Djemal-ul-
E:1, chief the Ulemas, at Medina, and a descen-
dant of the Prophet. The incident is looked
upon by all clesses here as an important political
event, and one which is likely to be attended with
grave consequences. It appears that Reschid
Seghim, Sheik of the Duhub tribe, in the neigh-
bourhood of Medina, ordered his son to proceed with
three men to the chief Ulema's residence and
despatch him. The cause assigned for this act is
that the Duhub chief had some personal animosity
against his victim, but another version has it that
political motives are mixed up with it. The young
man and his three associates, who were sent on this
bloody mission, on arriving were received with every
courtesy, the ostensible object of their visit being a
friendly one. Narghities and coffee were duly
handed to them, after partaking of which
the four drew their pistols, and, firing together,
shot the venerable Ulema dead. Two slaves,
a male and female, hearing the report en-
tered the room, where they were at once attacked,
the woman being mortally wounded, and the man
killed outright. The murderers immediately after-
wards took to flight. Reschid Seghim is a pensioner
of the Viceroy of Egypt for services rendered by him
to Mehedied Ali. Without the firmness of the go'
vernor, Izzet Pacha, and the Scheriff Abdulah
Pacha,a vast amount of intestine trouble would have
arisen in the holy places oat of this outrage, and
most probably have obliged the authorities to ask
the help of Egyptian troops, which, doubtless, the
Viceroy would have readily given. Without having
recourse to such a step, Izzet Pacha at once de-
spatched a force against the Duhub tribe under
Muhabuz Suleiman Bey, who succeeded in beating
them into something like order."
