Miss Burdett Coutts is said to have proposed to provide Jerusalem with an efficient system of water supply at her own cost, and the scheme which embodies the details of her munificent offer has been laid before the Council of State. A preliminary report of the section to which it has been referred has, we learn, been made in favor of some features of t\ c proposal, which will probably be accepted in entirety ; and if so, says the Levant Herald, our millionnaire countrywoman will take rank even before Sir Moses Montefiore as a benefactor of the Holy City. James Raid, nailmaker, who is lying in the East Prison Aberdeen, awaiting trial on a charge of assault and robbery, was married a few days ago to Jane Anderson, Gallowgate, in one of the class rooms of the prison. Afterthe ceremony the prisoner was removed to his cell and his newly made wife went away.
