The FIRST NUMBER of a MONTHLY NEWS PAPER, under this title, will appear on the FIRST DAY Of AUTUMN in the OLD STYLE, that is to say, on 12th of August next. The want of a journal exclusively devoted to subjects con nected with the Highlands of Scotland has been long felt, and this periodical is started for the express purpose of supplying the want, rather than with any view to gain. It is the chiet object of the Editors to furnish the natives of TIR NAM ISEANN NA' GLEANNS'NA GHAISGICH with an appropriate organ through which they may express their feelings and sentiments. It will also be a leading object of the HIGHLANDER to pre serve and extend a knowledge of the ancient costume, games. manners, and language of the Gael, and to promulgate such intelligence as will recal to the mind of the adventurous moun taineer, pushing his fortune in foreign climes, the hearths of his forefathers, and the associations of his earlier years. Detailed particulars will be given in future advertisements. In the meantime orders and communications may he addressed to the Editor of the " Highlander," no 9, Frances-street, Waterloo-road, London, where they shall receive due attention. July 6, 1841.

The Work which is now presented to the public is the result every extended experience in a class of diseases and affec tions, which fer some unaccountable reason have been either altogether overlooked, or treated with apathy, and almost in difference, by the oldinary practitioner. To enter into the details of these affections, to point out their causes, and to mark the torrifir rnnteauences, social, moral, and physical, which are sure to follow from indulgence, in certain habit., would be entirely out of place in an advertisement. We have no hesitation, however, in saying that there is no member of society, by whom the book will not be found interesting, whe ther we consider such person to hold the relation of a PA RENT, a PRECEPTOR. or a CLERGYMAN. Messrs. CURTIS and CO. are to be consulted daily at their residence, No. 7, Frith-street, Soho, from Ten till Three, and Five till Eight in the Evening ; and Country Patients are re quested to be as minnte as possible in the detail of their cases, —as to the duration of the complaint, the symptoms, age, ge neral habits of living, and occupation in life of the party ; the communication must be accompanied by the " usual Consulta tion Fee of 1/.," without which no notice whatever can be taken of their application ; and in all cases, the most inviolable secrecy may be relied on. LANCASHIRE BOROUGHS. TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. Sln,—You see we have won bravely in Preston. Bol ton also has redeemed its character. Clitheroe struggled successfully. By sheer bad management, Blackburn and Wigan have been lost, and Lancaster simply by Dash wood quitting the field when he had a certainty of win ning. In all our boroughs we had a bad, a long neglected register. Let us have a new register, and I have not the shadow of a doubt but the above four boroughs will be regained by the Liberals. After the new registration is complete, let the Queen dissolve again, and we are deter mined next time to return her a la A rge majority. PRESTONIAN. THE INEATHER.—NooN, JULY 6.

The Austrian Consul also declared himself satisfied of our innocence, and wrote to that effixt to his Consul- General, and to the Baron de Rothschild. I must now acquaint Sir Moses that, though I am again in my former office, I have not yet sufficient influence to re store any of my brethren to the official situations which they occupied previously to the arrival of the Egyptian Pachas, and they are now very poor and sadly in want of some employment that will enable them to maintain their families ; the English Consul prevents me from doing anything for them, for it is his wish that the situations referred to should be filled by Christians— and in this respect his influence with the Paella prevails over mine. What, then, alas ! are my unfortunate brethren to do ? That which I have hitherto related exhibits only a few specimens of the Consul's behaviour towards us, but they are sufficient to show that the Israelites must feel too much depressed in spirit for attempting to seek revenge, or to begin a quarrel with any party. How then can Sir Moses give heed to such evil reorts I.:. me must not let it pass from his memory that the authors of these present reports are the same who originated the horrible calumny regarding the murder of the priest and his servant ; and, after so frightful an attempt to effect our destruction as that, can it be a source of wonder that they should invent other tales defamatory of our characters ? But the Lord our God (blessed be his name) did in spire Sir Moses with holy zeal to free us • from the deadly grasp of our enemies beforo ; he changed our sorrow into joy ; and through him was our innocence published to the whole world—and, surely, he will have such consideration for his brethren now that fri volous accusations, which it is but natural that the wicked, when foiled in their evil designs, should dis seminate, for the purpose of covering themselves from flagrant shame shall make no unfavourable impression on him, but his mind shall remain unbiassed till the truth in its immutable colours shall have been arrayed before it. What man that is sensible and righteous in his ways will subscribe to the propriety of an ac cuser, and an avowed enemy, being the judge of him against whom his accusation is brought ? Besides, there are two who judged between us and our ene mies—his Excellency, the present Governor,. and Signor Merlato, the Austrian Consul—and they have declared that they are convinced that we have been treated with unwarrantable harshness. Our enemies endeavoured to engage the Russian Consul at Beyrout on their side, but he was not disposed to give any credit to their own statements, and there fore despatched his faithful interpreter to Damascus to make proper inquiries, and the result of his interpre ter's labours in that business was an opinion to us most honourable. The most Reverend the Patriarch of the Greek Church has also recorded his testimony with the Russian Consul at Beyrout, that the accusation was ut terly false, and could only have emanated from a mali cious spirit. It is a mournful truth, that the Israelites here in Da mascus arc now almost in a state of indigence. During the nine years that Sherif Pacha and Khana Bakhri go verned the city under the Pacha of Egypt, they were subjected to numerous heavy taxes and imposts ; it was by these means their circumstances were gradually re duced, until they were become quite poor, and when these two, Sherif Pacha and Khana Bakhri, perceived their distress, they, in concert with others, invented the last accusation—(may it never happen again)—they selected fourteen of the most respectable of our community for the purpose of ruination. These Israelites were put to enormous expenses during their cruel incarceration, and consequently they are now very poor, which makes them so low in spirit, that they scarcely venture to hold up their heads as other men do. King Solomon said, " But the rich answereth roughly ;" and where are now all the riches formerly possessed by our brethren ? They have been dissipated by our enemies in the late melan choly affair. I have to assure Sir Moses, that, in perfect accordance with his wishes, made known to us in his letters from Alexandria, we have endeavoured, to the utmost of our power, to ccaleiliate the good-will of all the Christians in Damascus, and to those who are known to have been our most violent enemies we have carefully refrained from doing anything which might be construed into an offence. The most respectable of our community behave with the greatest courtesy to every Christian, whether rich or poor, and often with marked humility ; we seek not to gratify any revengeful feeling for what has passed, but yet all our endeavours have hitherto proved ineffectual. There can be no other reason for this than the anger and jealousy of the men, for they wished and intended to kill us ; and since Moses, our brother, res cued us from their hands, made vain their council, and frustrated their intentions, this jealousy has kept burning in their hearts, and they seek for reason to raise more accusations against us, although we are not guilty of any wrong. We are perfectly aware that we are exiles from our rightful home. Other nations, on the contrary, have their own great and powerful monarchs—(may the glory and power of their Majesties be increased ! may their kingdoms be elevated still snore and more!)—and for this reason we render them all respect and courtesy, as we consider we are bound to do. We find, however, that it is impossible to propitiate those who have so un justifiably persecuted us ; we will, therefore, zealously and constantly turn our eyes and hearts to the Almighty. May our prayers be well received by him ! may we, through this great compassion, be prepared with good council from him ! May this nation find favour in the eyes of God and men, and thus, even our enemies, keep peace with us ; our minds will then feel more at ease to worship him with all our hearts. .llad it been our good fortune to behold the auspicious countenance of Sir Moses—if he had rejoiced his brethren at Damascus with his soul-inspiring presence, as we were led to expect he would, by certain eminent English officers who came to the city, then oar grief would have indeed been suppressed—our disease would have found an all-sufficient remedy—for then would our enemies have seen, with their own eyes, that there are still distinguished men amongst the descendants of Jacob, and that some are thought deserving of honour able stations by renowned and virtuous monarchs (on whom may the glory of God descend !) Perhaps if our persecutors had indeed beheld Sir Moses, they would have been induced deeply to reflect on the justice and nobleness of European Sovereigns (whom may heaven preserve !)—and they would then have been led to consider that we were all created by one God—that we have all one Father, and further, that we, the Israelites, are all under the protec tion of the monarchs. , f Europe, for whose happiness in all that pertains to themselves and their governments all the Israelites in the world do continually offer up prayers to the Lord their God. For the reasons which I have now partly explained, if a o pity: e and e, ll iiifldo etr rob dske u:gcnocruaooriu: r t et - ~ .. the contents of this letter should be acceptable to Sir Moses, and if he should not consider the fatigue attend ing a journey to Damascus too great, and he is affected with pity for the sufferings of the congregation at Da mascus, which is now called after his own name, it is our r o tuhnselclueshse shepherd, Almighty,tfiat gratitude father l eo t r a N t ov hr a i l ec l ohm o n f pao us fervent entreaty that lie yet come—come to us that our hearts may feci that joy which your countenance could not fail to inspire us with, for we are all your servants, your children : we anxiously lift up our eyes to you for faithfulldi e b b) Our own desire would be, if it were possible that such Yea, shield,th o vi u l a e rt n ou m, r ,e redeemer,thi think k of should have the wings of . eagles, that we might all pre sent ourselves before Sir Moses, and kiss the soles of l i os - I l ii i a oi s i s n. f . e s e li t e l o possession ses oo our our r lo rd heart. an d thee our tears will flow ; but th ey are tears of gratitude and joy. But we are very numerous, and therefore afraid that we should prove troublesome to Sir Moses, even if our desire could be gratified. However, still are we most anxious to see the countenance of Sir Moses, even as children who yearn to look upon their father and master. Surely our hearts must speak one to the other, for as the water shows a man his own face, so does the virtuous heart show the heart that is its friend. We hope the more for Sir Moses arrival, because the compassion of the father must surely be excited for his child. We, the Israelites of Damascus, are his children chosen so to be by him, for he redeemed us by his mag nanimity. O ur souls, therefore, must feel most anxious to greet his presence amongst us. May the li g ht o f our b rot h er b e ever c l ea r and bril liant ; may th e Al m i g h ty gran t us f avou r in his eyes - may our wor d s b e f avoura bl y rece i ve d by him ; may he ever enjoy in a b un d ance more than the extent of his wishes, is the devoted prayer of his humble servant, The Chi( f of the Community of Damascus, RAFFAEL FAIIAIII.

FROM THE 'MORNING PAPERS OF THIS DAY. • TIMES.—The Ministerial Morning Journalist is loud in his threats and boastings of what is to be hereafter. The damned poet appeals to posterity. To " shame the rogues" of 1841, he " prints" his drivelings, that all mankind may set him down for —what he is. This organ of a Cabinet of bankrupt adventurers tells us that Sir R. Peel's majority (the fact of the majority is graciously admitted) will be "a very small one," and that the Opposition will not only be very numerous, but powerful be yond anything ever known in the history of this country." " Sir Robert Peel's majority, on the other hand, will consist of the most discordant materials." Crow on, gentlemen. Make the most of the twilight hour. When broad day shall once be let upon your dunghill, the " shrill clarion" that now wakes us will be quiet enough. Sir Robert Peel has the misfortune to differ from the self-consoling prophet of the Morning Chronicle, with respect to the character and composition of that party by which the frauds of Whiggery have first been exposed ; and next, the foul and motley dominion of Irish Papists, English Dissen ters, and Downing-stri et jobbers, has been so signally and irretrievably overturned. Sir Robert Peel does not allow (why should he ?) that the party which on public principles he has so successfully formed, " consists of the most discordant materials." The Right Hon. Baronet, on the contrary, affirms, that the Conservative party was from its outset bound together by one main and vital principle, viz., an "attachment to the ancient institutions of the country "—that it has hound itself by no obligation, and "entertains no shadow of a desire, to resist such changes as the progress of society may demand, but that it is determined to maintain on their ancient foundations the institutions of the realm in Church and State"—that it is a party of which the foundations have been rapidly widening, and its influence over public opinion consolidating—that, powerful in its spreading numbers, it has become infinitely " stronger in the confidence of the country," than even in its overwhelming numbers—that, growing in amount from num bers scarcely exceeding 100 Members of the House of Com mons, to upwards of 320 or 330 Members, such an in crease could never have arisen but from the vast moral weight and authority which it possessed with the nation— that having intrusted its confidence to the Right Hon. Ba ronet, he (Sir R. Peel) assures the country, that " all the ru mours which have been circulated about differences of opinion and jealousies are absolutely without foundation ; that the party which acts upon his advice and councils is a united nod compact party, in which no differenCe of pridelple prevails, as to the course which we ought to pursue." How far, indeed, the past position of the Conservative party bears testimony to this uniform and consentient spirit. is a question of fact which it needs no assertion to prove, nor any great ingenuity to cavil at. We take Sir R. Peel's words as a pledge of prospective be nefits, and a conciliating policy. What is past is a matter of his tory, which it is useless to pervert, and impossible to conceal. Men are to be tested by principles—not principles to be brought down to the level of men. Conservatism is a principle; its strength consists in unity, and in proportion to their conformity with its doctrines are its disciples to be deemed worthy of it. CHRONICLE.—As the county elections come on, it is more than ever incumbent upon persons connected with agri culture to consider well the tendency of their votes, and to weigh the inconveniences of impoverishing their customers, irritating their labourers, and subjecting themselves to the losses of continual fluctuations in price, against any temporary evil from disobliging landlords who have TIO moral or legal right whatever to interfere with the use they make of the suffrage. The unsettled state of the Corn-law question is an enormous injury to the farmer. Three years ago, Sir Robert Peel described it as intolerable. He dwelt, with just empha sis, upon the confusion thus introduced into all the arrange ments of the cultivator, and the hardship of never knowing what extent of outlay was warranted by his prospects of remuneration for the ensuing year. There is great truth in this view of the case. Under the most favourable and steady . circumstances, the farmer is more exposed to uncertainty than those who foliate any other kind of industrial occupation. On him alone, or most severely, falls " the penalty of Adam, the seasons' dif ference." Every fluctuation in the condition of the millions affects the quantity of food they can afford to purchase. They cannot sink towards starvation without pinching the farmer. And their relief from famine, by the importation of foreign grain, under the present absurd and unjust law, becomes his impoverishment. If prices fall, rates rise; and if prices rise, rents rise faster. The sliding scale insures perpetual fraud and gambling. It aggravates all the fluctuations that natural causes or social relations generate. Within the short space of the last six years it has sent the price of wheat per quarter above 70s. and under 40s. The farmers' returns go up like the rocket, and down like the stick. And all these ha rassing vicissitudes are multiplied and embittered by a formida ble and growing agitation against the law, spreading itself through all classes, and even in louder and yet louder tones demanding change—such change as millions deem essential to their interests, their rights, and their security from plunder and starvation. Here is all the uncertainty of a chaos ; water that none can swim in, and land that affords no firm standing. Surely every farmer must feel the soundness of Sir Ro bert Peel's assertion, long since made, that his inte rests imperatively require the speedy laying to rest of this last and greatest element of change, the Corn-law ques tion. Surely a prompt and satisfactory settlement of it should be the object of the farmer's vote at the poll booth. But the farmer who votes for a Tory votes against settlement. He polls for the continuance of faineus fluctua tion. The Parliamentary Tories, aided by . a portion of the Whigs, have striven for a settlement in vain, by the forlorn hope of discountenancing the discussion. They have tried again and again to scout the question from the House of Com mons. Any partial success has only the more signally illus trated the fact that upon the whole they were decidedly baffled. They were utterly incapable of burking the subject, even be fore Ministers made it an open question. Having once been adopted as a Government question, no future Government can . dream of consigning it to oblivion or quietude. The Tory party has been a broken reed to the farmer's trust. Rest was promised him ; and yet every year augmented, and con tinues to augment, the obvious amount of uncertainty. What can he get by voting for the Tories? POST.—The elections for Scotland have now begun ; and after the proofs we have just had of the Conservative reaction among the town constituencies of England, it is only natural, that we should look with great anxiety to the northern part of the Ihngdom. Circumstances exist in the political position of Scotland that do not operate here. A ten years' possession of general elective franchise has not been altogether sufficient to cool the thoughtless impetuosity with which men are apt to exercise a newly-acquired right ; and the mischievous mis- ' representation by the Liberal party, of the opinions of the Con servatives on the unhappy Church question, have not been with- 1 out their effect. We especially mention these tisso points be- cause we are anxious to prevent any exaggerated anticipation of improvement in the character of the representative body ; but it must at the same time be borne in mind that in Scotland, as in England, considerable disgust has been excited by the continual exhibition of Liberal promises violated and Liberal pledges unredeemed. If, therefore, the causes we first enumerated may interfere with the achievement of the same success that has attended the Conservative efforts in Eng land, those that we last mentioned are calculated to afford a well-founded hope that the elections now in progress will fur nish a result very different from that which was presented in the Parliament just dissolved. There, out of the S 3 Members allotted to Scotland under the Reform Act, we had only 19 Conservatives to do battle with 34 Liberals. We put it to any man acquainted with the character and habits of the people, whether this unfortunate majority of Destructives could be considered as in any way fairly representing the Con stituency ? We ask if to foster the Roman Catholic religion in its most secular and factious form ; or to devise a scheme of general education into which the inculca tion of morality and religion should not enter, were in con formity with the religious feelings of Scotland? We ask if to support an Administration that clings to mere office after the power to carry on the Queen's Government has passed away from it ; that last year opposed the vast innovations in our commercial system, which they this year declare to be the only means of preventing a national bankruptcy—be consistent with that reputation which the people of Scotland have so long enjoyed for the possession of sound good sense ? We further ask whether to have frittered away a surplus revenue of two millions sterling, and to have substituted for it a melancholy deficiency of seven millions, can be an especial recommenda tion of Liberal policy to a class of our countrymen more re markab'e, perhaps, than any other for prudence and carefulness in the management of pecuniary concerns? HERALD.—We assure the public that we never did more violence to our own modesty than we are compelled this day to do—by coating—ourselves. The offence against good taste of such a proceeding we feel to be enhanced by the very recent date of tle article from which we are about to repeat a passage. It appeared in the Herald at no remoter a period than yester day. We said, by way of illustrating a certain proposition,— " to borrow a homely phrase from brother Jonathan, there is nothing We going the whole hog ! If you have an insinuation to establt4l don't spoil it by trying your hand at a plausible deductionfrom the facts against your adversaries:—take the facts as they are, and the more they are against you, the more stoutly stick to it, that they are literally true of your op ponent, and scandalously false of yourself." We really did not laks .uMeient credit to ourselves for the very high consideratisn which the Globe is disposed to feel for -"r judgment. Resolved to signalise this flattering "nage by seizing the earliest opportunity for its re souestation, the Globe cam , out yesterday evening s oon one of the most practical ant complete commentarie, on the doctrine we had sported, in he morning—as m ore badinage—that certainly could astonsh—as it ought k we suppose) very much to gratify us. It had an ate ouncement.to make to its peculiar class of reaers well calculated, from its nature and ten dencies, to neck the overweening presumption and reckless theories of ae whole school of the " anti-monopolists" as they are plesed to call themselves. It had a disclosure to make about the results of the quarter's revenue and the comparative statement of the public income in the years ended, respetively sth July, 1840, and sth July 1841, that it forest' must be appalling to every man in the king dom who 14 the common power of combining those results, and consideing them in relation to the present state of the country, its nmediate exigencies and its future prospects. It saw the impssibility of averting from its official - patrons, on ac count of the' disgraceful conduct in office, their compromising policy of hasrdousexperiments and timid expedients—the entire blame of the isastrous issues presented by th ese accounts, of which it had leartd the general aspect. It readily surmised that unless it cold by some enormous—invention, deceive and mislead thecally * honest and impartial few among the mass of zealous andaigoted, and not very scrupulous partisans of the present Minters—it must leave the latter to that fate which the past ancdhe coming elections had pretty extensively and certainly pipared for them, but which the publication of this official pap/ will surely precipitate. Accordingly, our evening contemporay, in strict observance of the injunction pro nounced at3uildhall the other day by Mr. Jones Loyd, " girded upis loins" and marched into the field with false co lours, and : matchless manifesto of Whig-radical effrontery. A DVEITISER.—AIready are the Tories quailing in ap prehension f the verdict on their policy about to be-returned by the Irisiconstituencies. The " Great Thunderer" itself despairs of s power to subdue the indignant resistance by which the castituencies of Ireland are preparing to repel the attempt of le Tories to re-establish in that country their cp pressive, baful, and sanguinary domination. In England the more advacfd state of political science and institutions, and their consciences—a more advanced civilisation, and a more imenduring abhorrence of oppression—for years prevented u the same exacerbations of Tor y outra ges as marked with feat ts of revolting deformity their administration in Ireland. Time after time, however, has Ireland wrung from the ructant hands of her rulers concessions calculated to equalise er political position with that of England ; and time after me also have tyrannical administrations —making Ireland exritnental of the extent of popular forbearance— endeavoure to sustain obligarchical and ecclesiastical tyranny 1 in undirninshet excess, and by coercive laws endeavoured to force latglaul %I.& into the depressed and degraded position ken wich Ireland. has been labouring to emerge. Such was the nature of the conflict, which even Catho lic Emancipation failed to appease, which raged with scarcely mitigated fury till the passing of the Re form Act, and which, even then, would not have become less violent in its manifestations but for the administration of the law under a Liberal Ministry having been made to harmonise with the ameliorative policy of its enactment. Such also has been the active and re-active influence mutually exercised be tween the policies prevailing in England and in Ireland; and such the question upon which the Irish constituencies now feel that they must again put forth their strength, and neutralise or overcome the ascendancy whi c h tyrann y as in other places achieved over their own rights and interests, as well a. over those of the empire of which they form part. MON EY MARKErfat - ld Cli'Y NEWS. FROM THE MORNING ' I 3 .APERS OF THIS DAY. H ERALD.— A rather uneasy feeling was excited in the Stock Market this morning by the tenour of the intelligence from the Uni'ed States by the Great Western, which was looked upon to be of a threatening character. It would, however, not be worth while perhaps to attach so much importance to the dis cussions in Congress about foreign affairs and the case of M'Leod, as they are tinctured so strongly with party spirit and a desire to embarrass the new Government, but for the almost contemporaneous address of Governor Thomson on opening the United Canadian Legislature, which 'smacks rather strongly also of belligerent notions, and warlike recommendations to put the provinces into a state of defence as, at the eleventh hour, the present Whig Government has really intimated a formal resolution to defend and retain them as integral por tions of the empire. From the tone and the terms of the Go vernor's speech it is tolerably transparent that matters are not so satisfactory, nor likely to rtn on so smoothly, in the Canadas, as the country has been falsely led to believe. Other causes contributed moreover to depress that firmness and tendency upwards visible of late in the Stock Market, for to say nothing of the banking failures in town and country recently made public, the stoppage of a discount firm of some considera tion in the City was announced to-day, whose engagements or responsibilities, direct and indirect, are variously rated at from 200,000/. to 300,000/. The immediate cause of this unfortu nate event is likely to prove more extensively injurious to a large portion of the community than by, itself, under other circum stances it could be, for the primmti _occasion of the failure is stated to have arisen from -the4seefsnsta s e s solsoryslarnents of ism large vs oolleninanufacturing establishments - "somewhere about Bradford, in Wiltshire, which must perhaps necessarily , result in depriving greatinumbers of operatives of employment. Notwith standing these adverse considerations the depression in the funds was but of slight account, for Consols left off at 891, sellers for the opening. POST.—Some additional failures of considerable magnitude have taken place in this part of the town. A French house in the Havannah trade stopped payment on Saturday (the parties disappearing), and this morning, it was announced, that the firm of Coil's, Thompson, and Harris, bankers and bill brokers, had been reduced to the same necessity. The extent of the liabilities of the French house has not been generally stated; it is thought, however, to be limited, but those of Messrs. Coils and Co. are said to be probably not far short of 300,0001. Their failure is ascribed more immediately to embarrassments brought on the firm in connection with certain Blackwell Hall factors, and, if the reports upon this point be we:l founded, it follows, as a matter of course, that thin g s are not proceeding so smoothly as could ba desired in the woollen trade. The stoppage of the house of Whitmore, Wells, and Whitmore, has been followed by an announcement from the old banking establishment of Messrs. Ladbroke and Co., to the effect that they have come to the de termination of " settling all their engagements." This they propose doing by paying off the balances due to their deposi tors, or, if it should be agreeable to the latter, by the transfer of such balances to the books of Messrs. Glyn and Co. The dissolution of the house of Ladbroke and Co., ought not to excite much surprise. Such a measure has been in contem plation these two or three years, and was made a matter of very general discussion among our men of business upon one particular occasion within the interval. The competition of the numerous joint-stock banks has operated much to the pre judice of the old school of private bankers, especially in the metropolis, where they (the joint-stock banks) are kept within due bounds by the Bank of England charter, which forbids the issue of their own notes, and where the management is, generally speaking, unexceptionable. The Sub-Committee of Spanish and Portuguese bond holders presented, we understand, last Wednesday at the weekly meeting of the Committees, the copy of a memorial to the Lord Mayor, requesting the use of the Egyptian Hall for a meeting of the bondholders previous to a petition being ser.t to the British Legislature to extend its protection towards them, and begging the Lord Mayor to honour the meeting by taking the Chair. The reasons assigned for making this application to his Lordship are—First, that hundreds and thousands of British subjects are in the most abject state of penury, arising from the dishonest conduct of foreign Governments, an that there is no hope of redress, ex cept through his instrumentality; secondly, that the frauds practised by the West Middlesex Insurance Company, and de tected through the exertions of himself and his predecessors, were insignificant in comparison with the wholesale swindling carried on with impunity towards the bondholders ; thirdly, that upwards of 100,000,0001. sterling, with interest, was due to them for several years, notwithstanding the whole reve nues of the borrowing States were mortgaged to the bond hold-Ts. Toreno's conversion scheme in 1834, Mendiza bal's mal-practices in 1836, when 5,000,0001. of ficti tious bonds were thrown on the market while the divi dends were suspended ; the unpaid Treasury bills of 1837, and the arbitrary decree of the 2d of November, 1840, are forcibly brought under his Lordship's consideration, as are also the frightful losses sustained by the bondholders, whilst numerous unprincipled adventurers have amassed colossal for tunes. Records of the proceedings of the House of Commons are referred to in support of loans being a legitimate branch of trade, and equally entitled to the protection granted by the Government to all other commercial transactions. Lord Pal ' merston's opinions are quoted in favour of this principle. The Lord Mayor is, moreover, reminded of the numerous meetings which have been convened at the Egyptian and Guildhall in behalf of the Italian, Polish, and even Spanish refugees. SUN.—There was the same firmness observable again in the unfunded debt to-day, though the business transacted was but limited and Consols went down a shade, being for the opening at 89a to 4, which is per cent. lower than they closed last week. The premium on Exchequer Bills has been advanced to 14s. and 175., and East India ( Bonds have got up to 2s. and 4s. premium. Bank Stock has been firm at 169 to 1691, and the Reduced Three and-a-Half per Cents have been marked 99 to The Three per Cents. Annuities were not quite so good, being 894 to 7 1 . In the Foreign Securities there were but few bargains, nor were the prices realised as regards the Peninsular Bonds so good as those of Saturday. The New Five per Cents. Portuguse Bonds dropped from 311 to 31- 1 without the half dividend, and the Active Spanish re ceded from 21 1 , 7 T to 21i- and 21i. Portuguese Three per Cents. were not higher than 19 ; Chilian Stock brought 60 2 - ; Brazilian, 671 ; Belgian, 1001- to 101 ; Danish, 78 ; and Dutch Two-and-a-Half per Cents. 51 to sq. The Railway Shares were dull to-day. Brighton re ceded from 3+ to 4+ discount. Great Western, from 27 to 26 premium. London a n d Bi rm ingham, however, were steady at 70, and Great Western Nov, at 12 pre mium. Blackwall were 9 discount ; Manchester and Leeds, 18i discount ; and North Midland, 31 discount. There was a failure of a Bill broking firm to-day, but as the reports on this head were contradictory, some parties asserting that matters would be made up again, we for bear to give names at present. NAVY SURGEONS. TO THE EDITOR 0]! THE SUN. Sin,—Your Journal of the 23d ult. contains an ac count of an interview which took place between a depu tation of Medical gentlemen and the Liberal candidates for Marylebone, Sirs B. Hall and C. Napier. The latter Gallant Officer, is reported to have stated, in reply to a question from Mr. Simpson, that it was his opinion " that Naval Assistant Surgeons ought to have a private cabin for themselves, to rea and pursue the study of their pro-' fession ;" he also stated that the mess in the gun-room was as comfortable as that in the ward-room, and less expensive, particularly since Mates had an increase of rank. Sir Charles must, when making this reply, have forgotten that in vastly the greater number of men-of war no " gun-room" exists, that such an apartment is only to be found in three and two-deckers, and that in every other class of ship, from the largest frigate down wards, the mess-place of the Assistant Surgeon is a dark, dingy hole on the lower deck, called " the Midshipman's berth," a wretched miserable pinec, the whole of which is completely filled up by the mess-table, and into which the light of clay scarcely ever finds admittance, and this 111 most men-of-war, the only place the Assistant Sur geon can call his own—if, indeed, he can call that his own which he has in common with a set of mischievous young monkeys, the future heroes of our navy, who spend almost their whole time off duty in "skylarking." What the gun-room mess may be now, I cannot say ; , but I have served as a. Naval Assistant Surgeon, and in my time the Midshipman's mess could bear no compari ' son with that of the ward-room. I do believe that an improvement has taken place since the period to which I allude, but it is not alone the waist of comfort in their mess-plazte which has made the Nava Assistant Surgeons \ dissatisfied with their position in the service—it is the feeling of degradation inseparable from their situation which has induced many of them to leave the service in , disgust, as was my case. Will the Gallant Commodore say upon what principle he would exclude the Assistant Surgeon from the ward room mess, and admit to it the boy Second Lieutenant of Marines, whose pay is considerably less than that of the former, and for whose appointment 'until the recent re gulations regarding Marine Cadetsips) no standard of education was required ? Again, supposing a party of troops embarked in a ship of war, with a Regimental Assistart Surgeon, will the Gallant Officer say why the militarymedical man should mess in the ward-room, whilst his brother of the navy is not allowed the same privilege ? . The Naval Medical Board requi'es from candidates for Assistant Surgeoncies fully as higi a standard of edu cation, general and professiona l, as (ices the Army B oar d, and yet how widely different is the sivation of the Army Assistant from that of the Naval ? I would beg leave, with very gnats respect for Sir Charles Napier, to direct his attention to the the num bers of the United Service Journal Or July, 1839, and for the same month in the succeedng year, and to the Dublin Medical Press of Sept. 9, 18'0 ; he will find in each of these a letter from me on Ilb position of Naval Assistant Surgeons ; and if the Galant Officer will, when he has a little "otium" after ;he turmoil of his election (on the result of which I heartily congratulate him), do me the honour to read then, I venture to say that he will arrive at the conclusion tlat, as well as hav ing " a private cabin to themselves, t, read and pursue savant, MICHAEL surgeon ; the study of their profession," Naval assistant Surgeons ought in every particular, as regard, rank, pay, dress, and messing, to' be placed fully on an equality with their more fortunate brethren of the Army. Your very obedient s Ennis, frelllaCnHd,AEJulLLyaOlte;HlAZi.sn,242, Rs. VAUXHALL GARDENS. This popula r place of summer amusement opened last night for a short season of six fetes, in order to give the lovers of this celebrated scene of entertainment an opportunity of bidding it a last farewell before it is is finally disposed of by order of the Court of Review. The pro jectors of these fetes have confided the manage ment of them to Mr. Bunn, and the manner in ivhich the fetes of last Dight was got up proves that they could not have made a more happy se lection. The illuminations were gorgeous in the extreme, and the musical performances were of a higher order than the generality of Vauxhall musical performances have heretofore been. The orchestra, selected from the Ger man Opera, Italian Opera, Drury-lane, and Co vent-garden Bands, was under the direction of Jullien, who has lost none of his energy :ince the winter, and was most efficiently led by Mr. R. 'Hughes. M. Labarre, from the Academie Royale, Paris, made his first appear ance before a British public, and performed a Solo on the Oboe, of his own composition, with great sweetness and effect. Ducrow gave a series of equestrian performances in the amphitheatre. Some confusion was occasioned in consequence of the difficulty experienced by those who had taken boxes in getting to their places; and great disappointment was expressed by those in the Gardens at the performance tak ing place in the amphitheatre at all, as it would not accommodate one-fourth of those in the Gar dens. We would recommend that the equestrian performances should take place in the Waterloo Ground, where all could witness them, or, if they are continued in the amphitheatre, that there should be some private entrance to the boxed. The fire-works surpassed in splen dour everything hitherto exhibited even at Vauxhall. The gardens were crowded to excess. The increase of the price of admission to 3s. had the effect of making the company more select, but not at all of diminishing the numbers. Monsieur Collinet and his quadrille band were in attendance, and dancing was kept up to a late or rather an early hour. The Hall of Mirrors was fitted up as a refreshment saloon, and the eatables and drinkables were all excel lent of the kind. Every lover of Vauxhall should take an opportunity of bidding it farewell, be fore it is absorbed into the Babel of brick, of which it seems it is condemned to become part. Oh, these builders! these builders! As poor Mathews used to say, " They're depriving us of all our amusements !" THE JEWS OF DAMASCUS. TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. Stn,—There appeared recently in the Times news paper extracts from a letter bearing date Damascus, the 2d May last, and which extracts contain new charges against the Jews of Damascus of deadly animosity against the Christians, and even of persecution. I am happy to be enabled to forward to you a correct translation from the original Hebrew of a letter which I have just received from Raffael Farkhi, the Chief of the Jewish community at Damascus, dated the 4th June last, and who, it may be remembered, holds an office of high trust under the Turkish Government. By the letter in question you will perceive that the charges made against the Jews at Damascus are utterly groundless, and that the feeling which actuates them is very different from that which has been ascribed to them. Although the letter contains many personal allusions towards myself, the omission of which I should have preferred, still I have deemed it better to send you a full and faithful translation, so that the friends of jus tice and of truth may be able to form a correct estimate of its value, and I hesitate not to believe that it will sa tisfactorily refute the renewed calumnies to which the Jews of Damascus have been subjected. Respectfully soliciting that you will give insertion to the accompany ing document, I have the honour to remain, Sir, Your most obedient servant, MOSES MONTEFIORE. Grosvenor-gate, Park-lane, July 2, 1841. With the assistance of the Almighty, Damascus, 15th of the month of Sivan, A.M. 5601 (June 4, 1841.) To him who is our honour and glory, the crown of our head, our shepherd, our strength, our defence, the mighty and wise, the helper of the house of Israel, our right hand, pillar, and redeemer, Sir Moses Mon tefiore. May his light be clear and brilliant, and the diadem which God has placed on his head ever con tinue as resplendent as God made it. Amen. May this be the Almighty's will. The faithful friendship Ifeel for Sir Moses makes it first duty to bow before him, and to offer up a prayer to the God of Heaven that he will be pleased to exalt his planet, and bestow perpetual blessing on his house ; so that when he stands in the presence of kings ho may find favour in their eyes, all his undertakings be prospe rous, and that, in his days, Judah and Israel may have succour, and the Redeemer come to Zion. May this be the Almighty's pleasure. Ten days ago my eyes were gladdened by the perusal of the joy-inspiring characters of Sir Moses' letter, dated in the week when the portion of the Pentateuch (Leviticus, chap. 6) was read (2d of April). The words thereof being such as come from the mouth of the wise, and being fnll of grace, made a deep impression on my heart ; and I was rejoiced at the assurance they conveyed that his peace and welfare are undisturbed. May it ever be with him thus, and may his possessions and prospe rity be greatly augmented. I put his letter, as it were a crown or diadem, on my head, and in so doing I per ceived expressions to the effect, that Sir Moses had been informed that some Israelites belonging to Our commu nity here in Damascus had been exhibiting vindictive feeling towards the people of other nations, and had, by falsehood and other base means, endeavoured to do se rious injury to the same, which led him to say, with sen sations of regret, " Why do ye not attend to the'precepts of our holy law, and the injunctions of the Prophets, by which ye are commanded not to avenge yourselves on your enemies, even though they may be in your power ? Ye ought to be satisfied that ye can now sit in your houses in peace ;" and other words to the same purpose, I found in the epistle ; to which I have now to give a reply. Sir Moses, those by whom you have been informed of these things told you that which is not true. Nothing of the kind has been done by the Israelites here. We have already addressed to Sir Moses several letters, some of which came from the whole community of Israel now dwelling in this place ; some from the perse cuted individuals who were set at liberty through Sir Moses' interposition ; some from myself, and others from Jacob Abudlaafia ; and in them it has already been stated, that we do not hold up our heads with confidence before the people of the city at large, because of the English Consul ; for he has shown much enmity to us, and is constantly seeking for faults amongst our actions, by which he may humble us, and depreciate our reputa tion. This fact, as I have just observed, has been set forth in the two letters which, I doubt not will, ere the receipt of this communication, have reached Sir Moses, and we trust that their general contents will so interest him, that he will endeavour, out of his deep sagacity and profound knowledge, to devise some remedy for our mortifying situation, so that the English Con sul, and our implacable enemies, the French Consul Boudin, and Gustiniani, may be prevented from acquir ing the means of doing us further hurt. We trust that Sir Moses will perfectly understand the nature of our present troubles. In addition to that to which I have now been making a special allusion, I have already mentioned to Sir Moses, in a former letter, that the Pacha of his Majesty the Sultan (may his glory be increased), as soon as they ar rived in Damascus, re-instated me in my former office, the duties of which are to assist in the Magistrates' de partment in managing the affairs of the city ; this lion nour was conferred on me in accordance with a direction in the Sultan's firman, and which had been inserted therein on account of its having been extensively re ported that I possessed some talent in such business. When the English Consul and the other detractors that I have spoken of heard of this distinction, so auspicious to our people, they were moved with irrepressible mortification, much after the same man ner as had been exhibited by them when the ar rival of Sir Moses at Alexandria made vain their counsel, and rescued us from the cruel fate to which they had destined us ; and the English Consul immedi ately repaired to the Governor of the city, and recom mended him to dismiss me, and put a Christian in my office, under whom I might act as his servant or deputy. But, by the blessing of the Almighty, this attempt against my interest utterly failed ; for the Governor, assigning what he considered good reasons for the course he took, declined adopting the plan thus suggested to Ihim. In consequence of their envious schemes being thus defeated, they are now seeking other means to in flict injury on us. When the Governor appointed by the Sultan arrived there were great rejoicings amongst all classes of the inhabitants, Israelites as well as Musselmans, on account of their being emancipated from a sway which had been extremely oppressive ; the lower orders of people of both denominations rejoiced exceedingly, and have frequently since the Sultan's Vicegerent has assumed his authority, made great acclamations in the market places, and in other parts of the city and suburbs. The Christians in Damascus formerly used to manifest great pleasure at the arrival of an Egyp t i an Pacha, on ac count of the friends hi p which they bore to lihana Bakhri, but they now exhibited much depression of spirits as Khans 13akhri had left this place, and when they beheld the populace rejoicing, they were filfed with displeasure, and to gra tify their spleen, made a false char ge aga i nst the 'lsraelites of having insulted their religion, which they communicated to his Excellency the Governor Ali Pacha, and to the three Consuls, in order that that the charge might be circulated in other and distant cou n t r i es , and a prejudice raised universally against the Israelites. But, however, our enemies at Damascus, whose eyes are s hut, from the great hatred they bear us, could not see that their accusations would not be [believed by the people of Europe, who are men of profound wisdom and //.? !/ SCOTCH ELECTIONS. Tn ELGIN BURGHS.—The division which prevailed among the Liberal electors of these burghs is now at an end, and they are all earnestly united to return sir Andrew Leith Hay. The merits of this gentleman SS a firm, unflinching, and consistent advocate of thorough reform and good government, are well known to our readers ; and, moreover, as the son of General Hay, who was one of the oldest and best Whigs in the county, he has especial claims on the support of all friends of improvement. It is admitted on all hands that no man ever sat in Parliament who paid more atten tion to the local interests of his constituents, or who was more ready , to exert his influence in their favour. In point of ability he has few, if any, equals among the aspirants to legislative honours, and his mild and con ciliatory manners, make him a general favourite with all with whom he comes in contact. Except that he is a Tory and a monopolist—a man who will sacrifice the welfare of the many to the advantage of -the few ; and that he bears the character of a gentleman in private life, Mr. Thomas Duff has no claim wiatever on the suffrages of any constituency ; and surely the electors of the Elgin Burghs, who have always been dis tinguished for their public spirit, and their zeal is the cause of Reform, will never permit such a candidate to carry off anything approaching to a majority of their votes. BANFFsnia.E.—Mr. Duff's canvass goes on as prosper ously as his best friends can desire. Pitfour is submit ting with a good grace to his rejection. He has writtei, advising the electors to support the new candidate. MORAYSHIRE.—GeneraI Sir Alex. Duff has started for Morayshire, and, from all we can learn, we have every reason to believe that our wishes will be realised. ABERDEEN ELECTION.--S 0 much of our space is oc cupied by reports of speeches, that we have left ourselves little room for remarks, either on the proceedings of yes terday or the prospects of the election. This is the less to be regretted, as we shall have another opportunity of addressing the electors before the polling commences. The appearance made by the three parties at the hustings yesterday, was highly creditable to each. Mr. Bannerman, although evidently in bad health, spoke very effectively, and his proposer and seconder were brief and pointed. Mr. Ines' was a poor enough display ; but his proposer, Mr. James Hadden, made a very clever speech, although it looked a little too like practising for candidateship. He laid himself open to retort, too, by the sweeping character of his charges against the Whigs, and the Chartists' certainly did not spare him. Mr. Mitchell reminded him that the Whigs the Tortes ; and Mr. Lowery remarked caustically that, although he was glad to hear a Chartist speech' from a. Tory, he could not help feeling disgusted when he Viand " Satan reproving, sin." As far as eloquence went, indeed, the Chartists fairly carried off the palm. The whole three spoke well, but Mr. Mitchell and Mr. Lowery acquitted themselves most admirably. There was a degree of moderation and ra tionality in what they said, too, which contrasted fa vourably with the absurd dogmas and abusive language of many Chartist speeches, and created a decided impres sion in their favour. Both Whigs and Tories were told some home truths, which we hope they will take to heart ; and we trust the Chartists will learn, from the friendly feeling that their yesterday's behavour excited, that their cause can be best advanced by mixing a little discretion with their zeal. The election of Mr. Bannerman is considered quite certain by both Whigs and Tories.—Aberdeen Herald. ROXBURGHSIIIRE.—A great change has taken place in the state of affairs here. Mr. Elliot, the Liberal candi date, who had found some of his former supporters (chiefly among the Radicals) from various causes, hang ing back in some parts of the county—came to the resolution of resigning the contest, which he thought, on the whole, he could not win ' - and thus of saving. trouble and expense both to his opponents and the county in general. This having been com municated to the other party, their candidate, Mr. Francis Scott, thought proper to issue an ad dress to the electors of the county, copies of which were specially addressed to the Liberal electors, con taining most insulting and offensive expressions, both to wards the Government and towards the Liberal electors of the county themselves. This roused the feeling of many among the Liberal electors, who resolved, that even if they should be beaten, they would not tamely allow either themselves or the cause they supported to be thus insulted. The result has been, that the canvass has been re-commenced, and we are happy to understand with every prospect of complete success. The change produced by Mr. Scott's conduct, which in any view was not very magnanimous, in thus indulging himself and his fol lowers in expressions of exultation over his opponent, and still less so in striking an adversary who, he thought, was on the ground, has been a most fortunate circum stance for the Liberal cause. Where there was hesita tion or indifference before, all is now energy and enthu siasm : and, animated by the hope, which, fortunately, we believe, is well-founded from the state of the register, the Liberals are now confident that they will triumph antly carry their candidate.

The Princess Royal and her attend ants, and the Ladies and Gentlemen of the Royal suite, were in four carriages and four. Viscount Melbourne, Viscount Palmerston, and M. Van de Weyer, arrived in the course of the evening, and are the only additions to the Royal Circle. 'mum- THE BOROUGH OF SALFORD. PHANT RETURN OF MR. BROTIIERTON.—We congra tulate our readers upon the favourable issue of the elec tion for the borough of Salford, where Mr. Brotherton's friends have fully compensated for the narrow majority of the last election, and returned their candidate by a majority of one hundred and seventeen,—a majority which would have been considerably larger, if it had not been reduced by practices to which we shall advert by and by. We believe that no election in the district will cause greater pleasure than this ; for we believe that men of all parties have been almost equally disgusted by the unworty arts that have been so incessantly practised during the last three years, with the view of lowering. Mr. Brotherton in the estimation of his constituents, ana of the public. We do not think that there is a man in Parliament more generally esteemed and respected than Mr. Brotherton ' - and certainly there is no one wh o h as b e un exposed to the same amount of rancorous attack, of coarse scurrility, or of venomous calumny. To him, hewever, these attacks have done no mischief.—Man cliestcr Guardian. FIRE IN HOLBORN.—Yesterday morning at half past four a fire broke out at Mr. B. J. Waight's, bookseller, No. 265, which was most providentially dis covered by . Mr. Hickman, landlord of the Coach and Horses (night house) directly opposite. Mr. Hickman immediately gave notice to the Holborn fire brigade, who were almost instantaneous in their attendance, and most efficient in their arrangements, so much so, that in a few minutes the fire was subdued. A more miraculous escape of great sacrifice of life never probably occurred. The fire broke out in a back parlour annexed to the shop, in which was a very heavy stock of valuable books. The staircase was partially on fire, and had three minutes longer elapsed, nothing could have saved Mr. Waight and his child, who were sleeping in the apart ment immediately over. As it was, Mr. Hickman, with the greatest difficulty and danger from suffocation, saved the females in a complete state of nudity, and a little baby was saved by being carried across the parapet to the next houses. Mr. Waight is insured in the Guar dian. It is a singular coincidence that this house has been on fire four times, and connected with this it will be recollected that one White, who formerly lived here, was executed for arson, for which crime the poor servant girl was most unjustly accused. The collection of tales, edited by Mrs. Gore, to which ~ The Lover and the Husband," has given its name, is one of the most striking works of the year. We can conceive nothing more lifelike, or more true to the =tare they pretend to deacribe than these stories. The Spectator has defined " The Woman of a Certain Age," as " a co me d y o f ? R ia u life." It is a comedy which, i n oar 01 *. out fink , those at Sheridan and ampere. This day is published, Bvo. sewed, THE REFORM of the REFORM BILL.
