* The great annual ceremonies of
the Mohammedan faith at Mecca terni-
mated on the Ilth of October, in the
presence of about 10000 pilgrims, of
whom 1880 had come by sea, and 3d.
$50 by land. In 1858, there were 1867
600 pilgrims; in 1857. 100000; aud in
1856, 10000. This great decrease in
the number in 1859 is owing, the natives
declare, to the events Of last year at jed
dab, and also to the dread Of the cholera,
which made extensive ravages in 1858.
