New York, July 5, 1855 The sensation created by the shocking sai. cides of two lovers by taking prussic acid together has subsided, and those who gave vent to violent feelings because the father of the young man would not permit the burial of the young woman's remains from his house, feel somewhat ashamed for their conduct, as the developments concerning the unknown female show the parent was justified in act- ing as he did. This mode of ending the ills of life, and taking # fearful leap in the dark,” has become en every day vecurrence, and one — deserves the egregee of those who a desire to check the evils of society. No less than ea ang self-de- struction have taken place in New York and the city of Brooklyn within a week. The Mayor's proclamation to the public and instructions to the police department, in regard to the liquor law, bas taken many by surprise. It makes the law a dead letter—as bs inforros the policemen that native liquors only must be seized, and warns them to be careful not to overstep their duty. It would be a difficult matter even for au old toper to sey whether his * bitters’’ wero home-made or foreign— how much more difficalt for s man to decide who is supposed to never taste it? After this, his advice to the transgressors of the law is much like that of a person who, ina bh to 4 riotous mop, toli them that glass would broak, and siones were plenty, but they must not damaze the property of the individual agzinst whom they were incensed A Southern newspaper got up # grand item of news for its readers, which proves to be a srand hoax.

The race, which had no dealings with the Jews in the time of our Saviour, which inveterately opposed the rebuilding of Jerusalem, in the time of Ezra and Nehewich, apd which claims to have seceded from Judah as early as the priesthood of Eli, uuder whom Samuel was educated, numbers now no re than 195 souls—if so many. Thy still » their hereditary seat between Mounts Geiizim and Ebal—linger about Jac well, where the Saviour held converse the Samaritan woman. But they are lost amid av Arab population, which never more than tolerates and often opprosses them. Tho Djebal Nubious is occupied by the four great Arab tribes or clans, engaged in constant feuds among themselves. The Abd-di-ludy and Jarrar are whst in ray ev called pee yg eae ar = s and tillers of the soil. princi 10ld of the former is Arabeh, a walled age 20 miles N. W. of Nablous; of the latter, Semnoor, 2 fortified village about 1» miles due north of that town. © Token family or tribe reside in black tents, and re- main allied with the kindred tribes of the desert. The Rayan femily are also of the Be- douin descent, and have much infiueuce with the desert tribes. The Mutsellim, or Gover- nor of Nablous, is geuerally taken from one or vther of these families—from the one which arms or intrigue have placed for the time in the ascendant. Since the beginning of the resent century there have been only two Niutecltim of Nablous of Turkish race held office only for @ year; the other, if ever he reached the town, assuredly never exercised the functions of governor. = The Turks a understand the intricacies of the Turkish ‘character, and the Arab Sheikhs are left by the Porte to rule this mountain district, as they can best agree among themselves. thay A gteye a: ibute, other matters ere very rarely in- Sete.
