One day last week regiment, which has been
unfavorably marked by the government OF Hesss-
Cassel for its sympathy with the popular cause,
was recalled from country quarters into Ca. set
The gr test precautions were taken to check
anything like demonstration on the part either
Of the soldiers or the citizens. The obnoxious
regiment was guarded into the town between
troops of bussars and gendarmes, who were or
dered to enforce the strc'est silence. Some of
the townspeople complied with the letter but
avoided the spirit of the order. by chalking in
large letters the word Hu. ah !" on the backs
of their coats and so walking in front Of their
military friends Others wore cravats, on the
front OF which the same word was inscribed
These novel neckcoths are now known as the
/" IIurrah cravats."

FIGurING IN ABUNDANCE, &c.-The insurTec-
ton in Bosnia is still far from being extinct
The conquest of the city and citadel Of Banja-
luka, has furnished the insurgents with u strong
hold, by which it is likely they will DO able to
support their plans. The Austrian Reichszeit-
,ng protests that the condition OF the Bosnian
loyasts and Christians, is distressing in the ex-
trene, and that ''some power ought to take the
part Of these beautiful and wretched provinces
of Southern Europe" According to the latest
advices from lara of the 4th inst, tho insur-
gents of the Krana have combined with those
Of the Herzegovina. They have attacked the
Seraskier, who, being reinforced by the Turkish
troops which Arad Pasba had brought up from
Travnic, succeeded in defeating them.
The mail from Constantinople has brought
important news from Bagdad. 1t is well known
that the great Arab tribe Of the Annczeh mi
CRATE yearly, following the course of the Eu-
pirates, from the neighbortood of Aleppo to
that of Bagdad, where they arrive about Christ
mas, and sell calnels and horses, and buy dates.
II has long been the custom of the pashas of
Bagdad, to pay black mail to the powerful sheiks
Of this tribe and the Shammar, when their vast
encampments move down into the neighborhood
Of the old capital of the Caliphs, in order to
keep the roads open, and protect pilgrims and
travellers from the depredations of the BedOuins.
1t seems, however, that Abdi Pashn who has re-
Gently succeeded to the pashalik, refused the
sheiks Thereupon cloud of mounted Be-
douins, with their spears, were seen in the hori-
zon on the right bank of the Tigris. The fell
lahs fled, whOoping, with their hocks towards
the city walls, while their women raised the
shrill alarm Of their thrilling Lu-lu-lu." Abdi
Pasha marched out with his troops to meet the
enemy but, although they had cannon with
them, they could not stand the charge OF the
Annezeh, and they were beaten back into Fag-
dad, after suffering considerable loss, and leav-
ing one gun on the field. The Annezeh were
encampcd in the Immediate neighborhood Of the
city, which they besieged, and continued their
depredations to the right and left over the whole
country, plundcring the villages and driving off
cattle. Meanwhile, three of the sheiks had been
to the Serai to parley with the Pasha. One of
these having suddenly died, it is suspected that
he must have been poisoned with the coffee or
sherbet, which is usually offered as n compli-
ment in the East on all visits. The Arabs bad

presumed trcachery.
1t seems that, although orders had been sent
to Kiutaya to set General Dembinski at lib
erty, the General had not yet arrived at Con-
stantinople.

The insurgent Samians have sent 4 second

on hearing that they were safe in the state

than hurry back to their Island, where an i'm

the bishops under jurisdiction to submit to fixed

but the clergy, seeing with terror the Turkish
