JEWISH ASSOCIATION FOR OBTAINING CIVIL RIGHTS AND PRIVILEGES. AT a MEETING held 18th Nov., 1833, S. L. GOLDSNIID, Esq., in the Chair, ALDGATE WARD, LONDON. AT a WARDMOTE held at Ironmonger's Hall, in and for the said Ward, on Saturday, the 21st day of December, 1833, before JOHN THOMAS THORPE, Esq.. Alderm It was unanimously resolved, That the thanks of the Wardmote are hereby sincerely offered to John Thomas Thorpe, Esq., the Alderman of this Ward, for the very able manner in which he has executed the various duties of that office during many years, for his ready attention to the wishes of the Inha bitants at all times, and for his conduct in the Chair this day. And that the thanks of the Wardmote he also given to henry Jackson, Esq. ; Deputy David William Witton, Esq. ; James Law Jones, E.g. ; Willi trn Mayhew, Esq. ; John Taber, Esq. , and William Tite, Esq. ; who have been this day re-elected the Common Councilmen of this Ward, for their constant and faithful attention to the duties of their office. CHARLES RIVINGTON, Ward Clerk for years labouring in this vineyard : for many, many years before I knew Mr. Sadler even by name. I had also advocated the absolute necessity of poor laws for Ireland for, at the least, five years before Mr. S idler's name was connected with that great question. Hence, then, we were, although unknown to each other, o f similar sentiments, entirely independent of any negotiation for the sale of the Patriot, or of any electioneering move ment for Leeds. How, then, do 1 proudly ask, ca❑ Ihe charged with doing wrong in supporting the man who then stood as the public advocate of my own measures? How could I consistently have opposed him ? How I have been deceived, and betrayed, and ruined, for my con stant and unwearied zeal and devotion, is another matter; and by whom ? " During the progress of the election and prep tratory canvass I was little in bed. Night after night I was sent for to Mr. Sadler's study, and if flattery could make any man vain, I received enough of it in the apparent spirit of DIVIDENDS. H. W.

The Bank will receive permanent lodgments in Sums Ten Pounds to One Thousand Pounds, at the rate 4 ,Pc o gran Cent. per ed Deposit Receipts. annum. For these If Sums receipts "I be ted, call the amount titbdrawn within Three Months, no interest will he ':Rued. Sums above One Thousand Pounds, lodged 2)eposit Receipts, will be made the subject of a Special HALF-PAY. rrHE RIGHT HONOURABLE the -11- LORDS COMMISSIONERS of the ADMI RALTY hereby give notice, that in future the rotation in which Half-pay will be paid to Officers will be as follows: Ist Class—Pursers, Masters, Surgeons. 2d Class—Lieutenants at ss. and under. 3d Class—Lieutenants at 6s. and Is. ; and Chaplains. 4th Class—Admirals, Captains, Commanders. It will therefore be necessary, in order to prevent delay and inconvenience to the Officers themselves, that their affidavits should he delivered into the Wages Office, at the Admiralty Office, Somerset-house—or forwarded to the Secretary of the Admiralty—or to their respective agents—as soon as possible after the last day of every quarter. It sometimes happens that Officers apply personally for their half-pay, without having previously sent in their affidavits, as required by the usual advertisement. Any delay or inconvenience to which they might be subj"ct by this oversight it is in the power of the Officers themselves to prevent, by an adherence to the existing regulations. Arrangements are in progress which it is expected will admit of the Payment of Half-pay always commencing on the 10th day after the end of each Quarter, instead of at the uncertain and more distant periods heretofore custo mary—of which, however, due Notice will be given when the next Quarter's Half-Pay is advertised. By command of their Lordships, JOHN BARROW. It was resolved unanimously, " That immediate steps be taken by the Committee to renew as early as possible their application to Parliament for the removal of the Civil Disabilities affecting British Jews." The Committee of this Association feel it their duty to announce the foregoing Resolution to their Countrymen, and to call on them once more to lend their support in forwarding so desirable a❑ undertaking. The warm and liberal manner in which the effects of the Committee were last year seconded throughout the empire, can leave no doubt respecting the opinions of the majority of the people. The number of petitions trans witted from various parts of the kingdom, the anxious inquiries addressed to the Members of the Committee, and the many kind suggestions and offers of aid constantly made to them, were not only gratifying but important and useful ; and whilst they demand from the Committee a grateful acknowledgment of the past exertions of their friends, they inspire a confident anticipation that during the ensuing Session of Parliament, the endeavours of the Jewish Community to obtain political rights will be sup ported by the voice of their fellow citizens with equal zeal and cordiality. It cannot be too strongly impressed on the public mind that the Jews are the only class of his Majesty's subjeept now labouring under civil disqualifications. The generosity and justice of the British Nation extending even to a distant country, have at length achieved the Emancipation of the West Indian Slave. Let Englishmen now enfran chise their Jewish Countrymen, born and bred amongst them, and thus erase from the Code of Britain the last remnant of intolerant oppression. BARNARD VAN OVEN, Hon.

" I had, as I have before said, never received one farthing of the aid promised to me (see Mr. Oastler's letter) ; but the day after the election I was reminded of my necessitous condition by a sheriff's officer arresting me for the amount of the balance due to the attorney in the libel cause. The next day Mr. Oastler saw the attorney, and gave him to understand the money would be paid, although he did not offer any legal security. " Now then to return to Alr.

FRENCH BRANDY DISTILLERY, No. 7, S FIELD BARS. JT. BETTS and Co., respectfully invite at • tention to the subjoined testimonials, selected from many others of eminent Chymists by whom their Patent French Distilled Brandy has been analyzed, and feel no reluctance in leaving their pretensions to universal support to the good sense and cool reflection of a discriminating public. TESTIMONIALS. " 58, Aldersgate-street, Nov. 13 1829. " Sir,—The sample of Patent French Distilled Brandy you sent me, I have accurately examined ; and having instituted a series of experiments on it, and on the finest French Brandy, I have in these comparative trials been able to discover so little difference, either in their composition or effects, that they may be considered as identical : excepting that your Brandy is free from un combined acid and astringent matter, which exists more or less in most of the Brandies imported from France. " I reman, Sir, yours respectfully, " JOHN THOMAS COOPER, " Lecturer nn Chymistry." " To Ali.. Betts." " Long Acre, Nov. 14, 1629, " Sir, —Having examined and analyzed samples of genuine French Brandy, and compared them with the Brandy of your own manufacture, I am bound to say, and do assert it with confidence, that for purity of spirits, this cannot be surpassed ; and that your Patent Brandy is also quite free from those acids which, though minute in quantity, always contaminate the foreign spirit. " In obedience to your request, I have sealed severa bottles of your Brandy, which I shall preserve for the purpose of comparison, should this be required at any liture period. " I remain, Sir, your obedient servant, " JOSEPH HIJME, " Cbymist to his Majesty." " J. T. Betts, E,q." The Patent Brandy, which is of the highest legal strength, may be had either Pale or Coloured, at 18s. per imperial gallon, and will be sent to any part of town i❑ quantities of not less than two gallons, for cash on delivery.

Their composition is truly excel lent; they do ❑ot contain any antimoniAl or mercurial preparation whatever, and do not require the least confine. ment or alteration of diet (moderate exercise promotes their good effects); they seldom operate until ten or twelve hours after taken, and then very gently ; they destroy worms, purify the humours, and evacuate all foul corruptions, whereby so many diseases are produced; by removing obstructions, they cause the food to pass to its respective parts, becoming a good restorative and preser vative of health to both sexes, and to those of a costive habit, a truly valuab'e treasure.

On Sunday, De... 29, will be published the First Number of a London Weekly Newspaper, price Sevenpence, to be entitled, TE STATE. An edition will also be published on Saturday evening in time for the Country Post. The political principles on which " THE STATE" will be conducted, are those upon which the British Constitution has been built. Its distinguishing cha racteristic will be found in a reverence for the laws, the religion, and the institutions of the country ; and, amidst the recklessness of Reform, its primary object will be to preserve. When it is urged that the British Consti tution contains some anomalies, it should be borne in mind that all its inequalities have derived their origin from the exigencies of the times. They have now been incor porated and cemented with a Constitution which, taken as a whole, has worked well. Is it wise to rend these parts asunder, and to apply one levelling test to their respective qualities, when no longer considered with regard to their mutual relations in the stations which they occupy, and when severed from that whole whence their value and utility arises. It will be the duty of " The State" to uphold the Christian religion in the pure form of the Established Church, and to denounce such encroachments as shall be subversive of re ceived principles, and existing establishments. The re cent alteration in the constitution of the East India Com pany places the interests of the proprietors of India Stock upon a different basis; and their security, under the renewed Charter, rests solely on the territorial prosperity of India. It will be the aim of this paper to point out the true meths of developing the resources of that coun try, and of promoting the happiness and welfare of a nation, from which Great Britain derives such important advantages. " The State" will contain Digests of Home and Foreign Intelligence. An Analysis of Parliamentary Proceedings. Reports of Law and Police Cases. Notices of New Publications. A Record of University News. Official Inform ition concerning the Army and Navy, and the East India Company's Civil and Military Esta blishments abroad. A table of London Markets, &c. Published by W.

(From the Examiner.) .‘ Englishmen should attend to a man's actions, look narrowly into his professions as regards his selfishness or his patriotism, and be sure, above all things, to estimate the professions and the promises that he may make regarding his future conduct by a reference to what he has attempted in times that are past.' - '— Mr. Sadler's Speech to the Huddersfield Electors. When we quoted in our last number the passage which we have made the motto of this article, we advised an application of it according to information which might be obtained at Leeds. It is not our practice to deal in dark insinuations, and the conduct of Mr. Sadler, to which we referred, is the subject of the following statement. I A blacker case of perfidy was never laid to the charge of a public man, and this is a pretender to the most exalted philanthropy The accuser, 11r. Foster, late proprietor and editor of the Leeds Patriot, addresses his letter to Mr. Carwooel, of Leeds. The who'e is too long for our columns, but we shall extract the material passages, bearing on the conduct of Mr. Sadler. The Leeds Patriot was the zealous champion of the cause of the factory children ; the proprietors wanting capital to carry it on against a powerful competition, proposed to take in a partner. The matter was undertaken by the leading advocates of the Ten Hours Bill, and by them Mr. Inchbald was introduced as a purchaser ; after the price was settled, the negotiation was broken off, and another scheme proposed by Mr. Inchbald, but he died of the cholera. Here Mr. Sadler comes on the stage :—" I had an action brought against me," says Mr. Foster, " for a pretended libel in support of the Ten Hours' Factory Bill. At a meeting held at Halifax, it was agreed by the committee, that all my expenses and damages, if any, should be paid out of the Factory Fund, as the prosecution against me was purely for my exertions in the cause.' I had resolved to defend myself in Court, but was instructed by Mr. aistler to commit my defence to his Lord Chancellor, 'Mr. Robert Hall, on the ground that I had nothing to do with the costs either one way or :be other. The Ass'ses now pressed (September), and I was a fortnight necessarily in attendance at York. The case, however, never went to a jury, in consequence of the plaintiff praying that a juror should be withdrawn, and which Mr. R. Hall acceded to, after costs had been incurred amounting to 2731. Mr. Oastler, Mr. Sadler, and others, almost immediately paid 1401. of the costs, leaving a balance due to my attorney of 1331. Soon after my return from York I had an interview with Mr. Sadler, on the subject of the Patriot. He said, my support was more valuable and efficrcious than that of all his other friends'..... , that I must not part with the control of him should little be s e completed,r vice the paper'—' that it would not do to purchase it just then (October), as we were on the e v e of an elec tion, and if it wer e k nown that either himself or friends had purchased the Patriot, it then would comparatively render and in the that after meantime, election the purchase if I wanted money, his friends would find it.' " Matters thus rested for several weeks ; I never for one moment doubted the honour and integrity of Mr. Sadler and his friends. I had the greatest difficulty from week to week iu turning every thing into money to carry on the publication in procuritur stamps and paying wage ., whilst my advertisement duty at the Stamp-office was unwillingly sufGred to accumulate beyond the usual period of pay men% I, however, never received one farthing in the way . of assist ance, an d I b eg an to feel my helplorsness on receiving the fo lowing letter from Mr. Wailer. It is an exact copy '‘Mydear Sir, —I can only say I never was more vexed in my life. Osburn told me 2001. was ready. told me 1001. more could be advanced. But lam too vexed to say more than that nay kind feeling towards you increases; w ould that my purse were as full as my heart ! God bless you, I believe he will. " ' Fixby Hall, Monday. RICHARD OASTLER.' " The election now approached —night after night I was sent for by AL.. Sadler. I was at once the editor 01 the Patriot, which be himself described as his best sup porter—the writer of the g reater part of his electioneering squil,s—and also what the Leeds Mercury described as the 'saucy Leeds correspondent of the Standard in Mr. Sadler's cause, and I fought his battle ardently and faith. fully. To ameliorate the hard lot of the manufacturing poor had been the great effort of all my life. I bad been public dinners, " One evening, as Mr. Sadler and myself were together in Albion-street, Mr. Sadler observed he bad good news for me: 1 have received (said he) a letter from the Duke of Wellington, in which his Grace informs me that my name had been laid before, and approved of by his Ma jesty, to fill a high post in a new Cabinet. Now, Foster, (continued Mr. Sadler, grasping my hand with great energy as he spoke) you are my equal in every respect, and, in some things, greatly my euperior ; and for my own sake, if I accept office, you must be near in., rely on that.' I thanked Mr. Sadler, and there the subject dropped, but very often was alluded to afterwards." Various little circumstances then began to shake Mr. Foster's faith in Mr. Sadler's sincerity ; but at last he states that he made discovery of the double face when actually engaged in his service, to which he had been summoned from his bed :—" I was called out of bed one night to go on to Mr. Sadler's instantly, about half-past eleven o'clock ; I went, and was requested to draw up a placard, to send that night to the Standard, and to be distributed the next day in Leeds. There were none present except Mrs. Sadler, Mr. Sadler, and myself. Whilst I was earnestly engaged, looking up suddenly, I discovered Mr. Sadler in the very gentlemanly act of making wry faces at the man who had been dragged out of his bed to serve him. Mrs. Sadler instantly saw, from my change of countenance,amosemeot; whichthat I conveyed h to my I mind the d had observed Mr. Sadler's singular of ular What a fool I am making of you!' Mrs. Sadler did her utmost to convince me that her husband was so con stantly doing so when amusing the children, that it had become a habit, and he did it unconsciously.' Sorry, indeed, I am thus to mention a lady's name, whom I shall ever remember with admiration, but in my very hard case the truth must be spoken. I finished the communication to the Standard, and said Good night !" with a heavy heart. "The next evening," continues Mr. Foster (Sunday), "I received a note to attend Mr. Sadler instantly. Oil entering his study, his first salutation being over, drawing his chair nearer to me, and giving me a smart slap on the thigh, he then said, ' Give me your hand, Foster, all is arranged about the porch ise of the Patriot, and your financial troubles are now ended; but we will net talk on matters of business now, it is Sunday night ; you must attend here exactly at 11 next Thursday.' I instantl), communicated the good news to my dear family. Thursday arrived ; I attended ; but Mr. Sadler was out of town, leaving a message, however, that I was to attend at tht• same hour on Monday. " I returned home with a heaviness of heart I have no words to describe Monday arrived, and, after cooling my heels about an hour in Mr. Sadler's house—a thing I had never been permitted to do for one moment before—l found myself in the presence of Mr. Sadler and Mr. Robert Hall. when, after a full half hour's panegyric on my 'talents,' ' integrity,' and I was told they had relinquished all idea of purchasing the Patriot. I instantly returned to my dear family, and told them we were ruined. " Without a moment's delay I called my creditors together, and laid my hard case before them, when it was resolved that I should make over the property to trustees until another opportunity arrived to sell it. Maik the consequences : First,—A fiat of bankruptcy was issued against me for the 133/., the balance of the libel cause, due to Mr. Stott, the attorney, grounding the fiat on the act of bankruptcy committed in making the assignment. I wrote again and again to Mr. Oastler and Mr. Sadler, to pay Mr. Stott, as they and their colle Ivies were justly bound, but never could get an answer to my letters. " In the mean time judgments, which 1 had confessed in my difficulties, were falling due, but which I should have had nut the least trouble in discharging, ' had good faith been kept with me,'—total 2031. I made a strong effort amongst my friends to get rid of all those, and Mr. Stott, in the most honourable manner, offered to with draw the fiat of bankruptcy ; when an extent arrived for advertisement duty, amounting to 131/., notwithstanding my two securities of 500/. each. The officer under the extent locked up my office, took away all my books of ac count, locked up my dwelling-house, and turned myself and family out of doors. " The copyright of the Patriot, for which 1,500/. hail been actually offered, was completely destroyed. The printing materials, which had cost me near 1,000/., were clandestinely sold for 87/. My household furniture, after the house had been locked up for six weeks, and, as was reported, a great part of the furniture exchanged or re moved, was sold, or rather given away, for 1071. " In the midst of these accumulated wrongs, solely oc. casiened by the infamous duplicity I had been made the victim of, I wrote again and again to Mr. Sadler ; but after all his fraudulent promises to me—after all the services I had rendered to hint, and to the cause be professed to have so much at heart, I remain to this hour without re ply, and without redress." Mr. Foster had written to Mr. Sadler for some small assistance, which was refused. This is mentioned because Mr. Foster has beard that Mr. Sadler has thrown out hints of the large pecuniary aid lie had rendered. " I now, then, discovered clearly that I was betrayed ; and prepared to take my farewell of Leeds. I paid my last respects to 11Ir. Sadler very reluctantly. He assured me of his continued friendship, and that he would exert himself for my establishment in London. He promised that I should that day receive certain letters of introduc tion to gentlemen in London likely to serve me. The letters, however, never reached me to deliver, and, to say the truth, when Mr. Sadler was holding fast my hand, and telling me about them, I did not believe him. " Mr. Sadie: followed me to London in about a month. As soon as I heard of his arrival I sent him my address. I also often called at his hotel, but could not seg him. I could not avoid contrasting this behaviour with the year before—we were then in London at the same time, amid Mr. Sadler could scarcely dine without me.

So ' and I had forgot ; but,' continued Mr. Sadler,.' 1 realty have not had time to retch so far as your residence sine, you did,' I arrived iu London.' Indeed!' said Mr. Hunt in formed me yesterday morning, that whilst lie was ringing my bell, you ran across the street to shake hands wi him.' Mr. Sadler here seemed to feel what God forbid 1 ever should have occasion to feel; and I said, Good morn ing !' and since that period I have never either seen of heard from Mr. Sadler. Toe 4ge newspaper, a few Son days ago, 4rongly recommended Mr. Sadler to the electors sd:daudri In the dearth of information respecting that extraordinary, indeed we may say, wonderful region of the South American continent—Guiana, we may congratulate the public on the immediate appearance of a work by Lieutenant-Colonel St. Clair, who resided some years in the conquered Dutch colonies there. The narrative, which will be accompanied by illustrations from beautiful drawn ings by the author, is prepared from notes made on the spot, which, in these " piping times of peace," he has amused himself with preparing fur the press. It is to be called, " A Residence in the West Indies and America." Mr. Luke, who was lately chosen principal surgeon at the London Hospital in the room of Sir William Blizard, had previously been assistant-surgeon. This promotion makes a vacancy, which is yet to be filled up. A BREAKFAST AT TROY.—Mr. Madden, in his " Travels in Turkey, Egypt, Nubia, &c." tells us many remarkable things; but one of the most remark able is connected with his visit to the grave of Troy's ancient hero. After various details, he says, "We break asted on the tomb of Hector." Hard fare ! VOLTAIRE.—At the rehersal of one of M. de Voltaire's tragedies, Mr. Cramer, bookseller at Geneva (and Voltaire's own immediate publisher) was finishing his part, which was to end with some dying sentences, when Voltaire, all despotic over those he thought his de pendants, cried aloud, " Cramer, you lived like a prinet for the four preceding acts, but at the fifth you die like a bookseller." Dr. Tronchin (the Boerhaave of his age), being present, could not help, in kindness, interfering ; a lding, withal, " Why, Monsieur de Voltaire, can you expect to have gentlemen be at the expense of dresses, and the fatigue of getting such long parts ; if you thus con tinue to upbraid them ? On the contrary, I think they all deserve the greatest encouragement at your hands ; anti as to my friend Cramer, I declare that as far as I am a judge, he dies with the same dignity that he lived." Vol taire, who detested advice or information from an inferior (for an author was, in his eye, beyond even an .2Eseuht-. pius, were he living) made this cool reply: " Prythee, Doctor, when you have got kings to kill, kill them your Own way ; let me kill mine as I please." THE FATE OF GENIUS.—Lord Byron is reported by Lady Blessington, in her Conversations with the noble hard, to have asked "who would willingly pos sess genius?" and to have answered and reasoned upon the question thus :—" None, I am persuaded, who knew the misery it entails, its temperament producing continual irri tation, destructive alike to health and happiness ; and what are its advantages? to be envied, hated, and persecuted in life, and libelled in death. Wealth may be pardoned (con tinued Byron) if its possessor diffuses it liberally; beauty may be forgiven, provided it is accotnpanied by folly ; ta lent may meet with toleration if it be not of a very superior order ; but genius can hope for no mercy. If it he of a stamp that insures its currency, those who are compelled to receive it will indemnify themselves by finding out a thousand imperfections in the owner, and, as they cannot approach his elevation, will endeavour to reduce him to their level by dwelling on the errors from which genius is not exempt, and which form the only point of resemblance between them. We hear the errors of men of genius continually brought forward, while those that be long to mediocrity are unnoticed ; hence people conclude that errors peculiarly appertain to genius, and that those who boast it not are saved from them. Happy delusion taut not even this belief can induce them to commiserate the faults they condemn. It is the fate of genius to be viewed with severity, instead of the indulgence it ought to meet from the gratification it dispenses to others ; as if its endowments could preserve its possessor from the alloy that marks the nature of mankind. Who can walk the earth with eyes fixed on the heavens, without often stum bling over the hindrances that intercept the path? while those who are intent only on the beaten road escape.— Such is the fate of men of genius elevated over the herd of their fellow men ; with thoughts that soar above the sphere of their physical existence, no wonder that they stumble when treading the mattes of ordinary life with ir ritated sensibility and mistaken views of all the common occurrences they encounter." A BACKWOODSMAN'S GRIN.--In the can vass of the congressional election of IB—, Mr. --- was the Colonel's opponent—a gentleman of the most pleasing and conciliating manners, who seldom addressed a person or a company without wearing upon his countenance a, peculiarly good-humoured smile. The Colonel,,z;tlno may get teract the influence of this winning att r ib u t e , thus ttiluded to it in a stump speech :—" Y es , gen tl emen , h some votes by grinning, for he c u j ano n u e t : rn gri ed n m know I an't slow ; and to prov e to you, that I am not, I will tell you an anecdote. I was myself, and a a y d o you was fooled a little of the wicke.iest. You all know I love hunting. Well, I discov&ed a long time ago that a 'coon couldn't stand my grin, I could bring one tumbling down roars the highest tree. I never wasted powder and lead when I wanted o ne o f t h e creatures. Well, as I «'3s walking out one night, a few hundred yards from my house, looking carelessly about me, I saw a 'coon planted upon one of the highest limbs of an old tree. The night was very moony and clear, and old Rattler was with me ; but Rattler won't bark at a 'coon—he's a queer dog in that way. So I thought I'd bring the lark down in the usual way, by a grin. I set myself, but, after grinning at the 'coon a reasonable time, found he didn't come down. I wondered what was the reason, and I took another s early 4tin at him. Still be was there. It made me a little mad ; so I felt round and got an old limb about five feet long, and, planting one end upon the ground, I placed my chin upon the other, and took a rest. I then grinned my hest for about five minutes, but the cursed 'coon . hunt/ on. So, finding I could not bri ng him down by , be a droll grinning, I determined to hav e hi m , f or thought he must clasp. 1 went ov er t o t h e house, got my axe , returned to the tre e , saw t h e ' coo n still there, and began to cut "vay• Down it coon-, and I ran forward, but — a 'coon wa s th ere to be seen.

Now, fellow contintred the Colon e l, "you must be convinced the grinning line, I myself n not slow ; y e t, that, i 4 4 " tu cv bs I look upon my opponent's countenance, I must ad mit that he is my superior. You must all admit it. Therefore, be wile awake—look sharp—and do not let rim grin you out of your votes."—Sketches of Colo.iel Crocket(,
