BEDOUIN ARABS.

event as a happy release. The treacherous assassina-
tion of Sir WILLIAM APNAGHTEN will ever associate
the name of ARBAR KHAN with one of the
foulest deeds recorded in history. In the Pun-
jaub the British authorities are incessantly on
the watch to guard themselves against desperate
conspiracies formed against their lives. Fresh dis-
coveries vindicate the wisdom which Colonel LAW-
RENCE evinced in prohibiting the Ranee and her son
from performing pilgrimages without his express
sanction ; and it appears probable, that prudence will
dictate the propriety of putting a veto upon all public
fetes. The British Resident intended to celebrate
the anniversary of the battle of Sobraon, but, in con-
sequence of information that he received, the fete
was postponed,and numerous parties (chiefly A khalees)
religious enthusiasts of the worst description,) were
arrested, who are accused of having designed to
assassinate the principal members of the Lahore
Government. In Sinde everything bore a peaceable
complexion. Sir C. NAPIER, having visited the plains
where his gallant troops covered themselves with
glory, and he himself gained imperishable laurels,
had returned to Kurrachee in excellent health. The
question of time-bargains in India continues as un-
settled as ever, the judges in the SupreMe Court at
Bombay having differed in their judgments upon the
celebrated opium actions. The Privy Council at
home will now be called upon finally to adjudicate
the question.

The distresses of the Scotch and Irish have
elicited the sympathies of her MAJESTY'S subjects
in the East, where munificent collections are
being made in the different presidencies for their
alleviation. In Bombay alone, in less than a week,
the subscription reached 3,0001. This wide-spread spirit
of benevolence, equally exhibited by rich and poor, and
from a quarter of the globe thousands of miles dis-
tant from the objects of their comrnisseratic.n, will
render the year 1847 memorable for the philan-
thropy which has been universally manifested, and
whicn is unprecedented in the annals of the world.

On the 15th inst., the King of PRUSSIA presented
to the Diet a project of law for ameliorating the con-
dition of the Jews. Among its various provisions are
the following :—"Jews may be appointed to all such
public functions as have no executive power attached
to them. They may be appointed professors at the
Royal Universities, but only in the faculty of medi-
cine, the section of physical and mathematical
sciences, and the faculty of philosophy. The ar-
ticle
in the national code, which declares that no
Jew can be a witness in any criminal affair involv-
ing a penalty greater than six weeks' imprisonment,
or a fine of 50 thalers (2001.), is to be repealed.
Jews may be chosen as judge arbiters in all suits
in which all the parties are of the Jewish religion."
By a Berlin letter of the 16th we learn the result
of the discussion of the Diet on the Address sub-
mitted to it by the Committee. It has been adopted,
with the suppression of the portion in which a perio-
dical convocation of the Diet is claimed, and with the
modification of the part which was intended as a sort
of remonstrance to the KING. The suppressed para-
graph was as follows :

" The decree of the 17th January, 1820, compels the autho-
rity charged with the administration of the public debt to
give an account annually to the Assembly of the States of the
kingdom, and thus ensures to it the vital condition of useful
action, viz., its periodical convocation."
The concuding portion of the Address now stands as
follows. By comparing it with the draft presented
by the Committee, it will be seen that the language is
much more subdued than in the original :

" We are confident that your Majesty will not consider it
a want of gratitude if, in the course of our deliberations, we
should be occupied in a more circumstantial manner with
the points of the decrees of the 3d of February of this year,
which many amongst us do not regard as being perfectly in
accord with the most ancient laws; for, in order that the
faithful States of your Majesty may prove a true support to
the throne, in order that we may be able efficaciously to aid
your Majesty in your eftrts for the security and prosperity
of our dear country, those whom we represent must have the
most sincere conviction that the representative rights ac-
corded to us by the King are dear to us, as well as the ho-
nour and force of the Crown ; and that we will protect the
one and the other as being equally precious. If the Diet,
in the course of its deliberations, if your Majesty from mo-
tives, which in such case the Diet will respectfully lay before
you, should be convinced of the divergences between the an-
cient and present laws, we doubt not that the wisdom and
justice of youriMajesty will adopt measures to lead to an ac-
cord compatible with the prosperity ofyrussia—a prosperity
which rests upon the force of the monarchical principle
and on a sure and well-regulated representative legislation."

Madrid papers of the 16th have been received.
On the 16th the Ministers presented to the Cham-
bers a Bill for the regulation of the public press. By
this Bill it is declared that the Senate shall try of-
fences against the Sovereign, juries those that are
merely political, and the ordinary tribunals cases of
defamation and calumny. There was a discussion on
both days on the Bill for raising 25,000 men for the
army. Two amendments were proposed, but neither
of them was successful. On the 15th the Chamber
of Deputies proceeded to the election of a
new Vice-President in the room of Senor SALA-
MANCA. The candidates were Senor Rios ROSAS,
a partisan of the late Ministry, Senor REINOSO, the
candidate of the present Ministry, and Senor CRESPO,
a Progressista. At the first ballot neither of the
candidates obtained an actual majority ; at the second
Senor CaEsro having retired, the Progressistas voted
for the Ministerial candidate, who was elected by a
majority of eight.

Senor OLOZAGA has had an audience of the QUEEN,
and was very graciously received by her MAJESTY.
her MAJESTY drove out on the 15th, and alighted at
the Royal Botanical Gardens, where she mixed with
the promenaders. There was not the slightest
attempt at a renewal of the annoyances of the pre-
ceding Sunday.

General SERRANO, instead of proceeding into
Andalusia, remains at Aranjuez, and, according to
the Eco del Comercio, it is extremely probable that
his journey will extend no further.
Mr. HENDERSON has addressed a strong appeal to
the Finance Minister and to the Spanish nation, on
the subject of the foreign debt. In speaking of this
publication the Heraldo says—
•" The documents it contains, which tell us, with rather
rough frankness, what is thought of us abroad, will no doubt
convince all Spaniards who refuse them of the urgency of
regulating our foreign debt, not only from a sense of justice
and self-interest, but also in order that we may not lose the
honourable reputation Spain has always enjoyed in financial
matters."
