Some sanguinary skirmishes have taken place on
the Arabian coast, near El Halt 1, between two op-.
poiite sects of Mahomedan zealots, who seem to
have determined do the extermination of each other.
The tenets of each differ materially, both from those
of the followers of the true prophet and the Waha-
bee. Tile forces.are considerable, and nearly equal ;
and their disputes have consequently- thrown the
country into much consternation.
The tigers have again appeared in great numbers,
in various parts-of the Sunderbunds, -where it was ex-
pected they had been exterminated, and have carried
off not only tame buffaloes, but men, women, and
children. Their approach to the villages is attribut-
ed to the failure of wild animals in the woods, most
of which have been destroyed since the extension
of cultivation. The, wood-cutters and salt-manu-
factures have, in some parts, been obliged to desist
from their employment on account of these feroci-
ous animals.

Sunday morning a waterman, named W. Wil-
liams, of Lirnehouse, undertook, for a wager of five
guineas, to go on foot from Whitechapel Church to
Bow, and back again in forty minutes, the whole dis-
tance of gtound being five miles. He started at five
o'clo'ck on a moderate pace for about a quarter of a
mile, when he proceeded with great swiftness, keep-
ing the horses, which accompanied him, ori the full
trot, and arrived at Bow in eighteen minutes, where
he baited four minutes, drank a small glass of brandy
and water, when he proceeded on his return, and
completed the wager in two minutes and an half less
than the time allowed. A great many bets were de-
pending upon the ;ssue.
