BRAVERY OF THE EASTERN JEWS . —The most distinguished generals of the East are Jews . For instance , General Jochmus , who distinguished himself in Spain , and at last in Syria , against Ibrahim Pasha , is a Jew , General Ventura , in the service of Runjeet Singh , and afterwards of Sheer Singh , at Lahore , and who was the terror of the Affghans , and the beloved Governor of Cashmeer , is a Jew by birth ; his name is Reuben-Ben-Toora . I could name several others . General Jochmus
told me that he was ready to march to Bokhara with a detachment of three thousand European soldiers , if supported by the British Government . After the Jews , the Armenians are the most enterprising people of the East . — Wolfe ' s Mission to Bokhara . MARRIAGES . —At St . Pancras , Mr . G . J .
