The pension bill was taken from the table,

PRUSSIA.
BERLIN Feb. l9.-Jn the Prussan House of
Deputies yesterday the Government was
asked to explain why the United States Con-
sui at Jerusalem was allowed to procure the
arrest of one Markas, Jewish subject OF
Prussia. with whose ward, young girl, the
American Consul sought to elope,. and why
after her guardian bad been thrown INTO prlS-
on to facilitate the attempt; the Prusslan Con-
sui at Jerusalem refused bis demand as SUBJ
ject Of the kindom of Prussia Tor protection
The case creates much feeling among the
Jews, who regard it as involving rights and
principles similar to those violated in the Nor
tara affair at Rome, and who represent the
outrage as an outrage TO Prussia.
Baron Won Der Hydt, the Finance Minister,
replied that the German Consul OF Jerusalem
was Federal and not Prussian representa-
tive, and that consequently the application
for information must be made to the Chancel-
Tor of the North German Confederation.

The assumption of municipal war debts by

speech In favor of the principle, and offered
an amendment increasing the amount to be
refunded to the several municipalities to
double the amount reported by the Commits
sioners, who set during the summer, and thus
reported by the Committee.
Mr. Robbie reported, substantially, a new bill
granting aid to the European & North Amer
ican Railway. 1t provides that none of he
monies received from the sale of lands or tim

on the extension of the road from the town of
Lincoln to the Eastern boundary; and that no
sales shall be made unless approved by the
Governor; and that parties under bond shall
hold all monies thus obtained until required
for said extension. The bill is better guarded
than any previous one, and it may pass. The
difficulties existing between John A. Poor,
Esq, and the Company have all been settled
It is understood that Mr.. Poor retires from the
Company, and has no personal interest.
