watch committee, a considerable diminution if crime has been
the consequence."—Speech of Aldermen Robinson. " The wale

best when well rigged; because their value depends on their age;
because they are upright when in stays; because they bring
news ft om abt oad ; because they wear caps and bonnets; because
they are often abandoned; because they are often painted.
BEnotAN ARABS.—If the Bedouins be an evil, they are, I
think, a most necessary one; the desert can never be peopled
but by roving tribes, and without them the most useful animals
in this part of the world would be' lost ; for men brought up in
towns could never attend to the breed of camels or the trans-
port of goods from the richest quarters of the globe. A. it is
not fair to judge of the Arabs by the rules of civilized life. the)
should not be so generally condemned for their mai auding.pro-
pensities as they sometimes are: they possess many
aiui
qualities—hospitality in the highest degree, and generosity and
a sense of honour that is rarely to be met with in enlightenoend
countries. It seems a sort of right in them to levy taxessuspon
all that pass through their territories ; and I would
