ARABIA.
The Pioneer (North-Indian paper) says: " ' Wars, and run-.ors of wars ! ' Even the corners of Arabia arc in arms. In the north-east, Muscat is threatened by an invader, and all the chiefs from Beyrcmee to the Ras al Had are sword in hand. And now, from far off Mocha comes the sound of Avar. The Avild Aseerees — Arabs of the Arabs — have made a descent on Ilodeidah, on the Red Sea, and succeeded in capturing it. They Avill, it is now learsd, snatch at Mocha. As far as is yet known, there have been no casualties among the British subjects, Avho are so important an element of the community, but should Mocha be attacked there can be no doubt but that the injury to the large coffee trade ■will be very serious."
