AS Manhood approaches, thehuman form, coun tenance, voice, and the whole intellectual character, rapidly undergo a revolution. Love is the end and sum of life, creating image after image of ideal perfection. But in the present state of society, pure and virtuous enjoyment is often postponed and obstructed, till the excess of youthful impetuosity impels to a course of wild and injurious indulgence, and the mind becomes painfully harassed by aiterations of fear, disgust, and passion. In this state relief is perhaps sought from the inexperienced, perhaps from the ignorant; in either case at the expense of health, that being only palliated which should have been effectually cured. Here we propose to step in and rescue the victim of unwise indulgence from the pangs of remorse, disappointed hope, and disease ; and we pledge ourselves to eradicate every taint of syphilitic poison, and to restore to its wonted energy every relaxation of the generative economy, whether fro►n this or other causes, whereby the dignity of man hood shall have become impaired; equally contemning unfeel ing empyricism, which with reckless ignorance destroys where it should restore ; and, on the other hand, that unworthy " principle" whose proud selfishness increases the embarrass ment of the afflicted. All classes of society, not excepting the Anglo-Indian, but more especially such as are about to enter into matrimonial life, are included in the limits of this address, and to all we confidently offer the result of many years' suc cessful practice. Daily attendance is given for personal consultation ; and im mediate answers are returned to country letters, which must minutely describe the case, and contain a remittance for Advice and Medicine, which can be forwarded to any part of the world, however distant.—No difficulty can occur, as the Medi cine will be securely packed, and carefully protected from ob servation GOSS and Co., (M.

To enter into the details of these affections, to point out their causes, and to mark the terrific consequences, social, moral, and physical, which are sure to follow from indulgence, in certain habits, would be entirely out of place in an advertisement. We bays no hesitation, however, in saying thatlthere is a. member of society, lay whom ! tho 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. The PARENT, who beholds his beloved child pining away, and fast approaching to a premature grave, in consequence of some disease, which for want of a careful investigation of its real cause, has been set down to the score of consumption, will, on perusing this work be astonished to find that in nine tenths of the cases of young persons of both sexes, who perish of what is called pulmonary consumption, heart disease, tabes, &c., the sole and exclusive origin has keen the indulgence in certain destructive habits, practised by youth muck more fre quently than is at all suspected. The PRECEPTOR, also, who holds temporarily, at least the relation and responsibility of a parent, will, ky perusing this work, be directed, and very muck assisted in investigating and detecting the too often concealed practices so often introduced into schools, whereby the health and ultimately the lives of his pupils aro sure to be compromised, unless the evil be checked in proper time. He will here find a clue to guide him through the intricate mazes of this moral labyrinth, and a standard whereby to judge, when delicacy of health should appear to attack any of his young charges, what the real cause of such attack may be, and thus he will be enabled to check the evil in its incipient state. The CLERGYMAN, in whose sacred character, is at *ace concentrated the twofold relation of parent and instructor, will here be directed as to the nature of those habits, to which youth is addicted; he will also be enabled to point out the disastrous consequences which are sure to follow from them, if not relinquished.

THE HAGUE, AUG. 24.--The 68th anniversary of the birthday of our universally. beloved and revered King is kept to-day in this city, and, doubtless, in every place where Dutchmen dwell, with feelings of joy and of gra titude to the Almighty. This morning the churches were crowded with the citizens, who prayed to the Su preme Disposer of events for the prolongation of the days of a Prince who incessantly watches over the welfare of his people. This morning there was a grand parade of the garrison, and as the weather is very favourable, it is to be expected that the illuminations in the evening will be very splendid. WYCHON, AUG. 23. —Yesterday a most dreadful thunder-storm passed over this place. The whole hea vens seemed to be on fire, and torrents of ra i n fell. Th e lightning struck a barn in a farm - yard , which was totally consumed, together with a stack of hay and corn. The last load of corn had been brought from the field at noon, and now the joy on the happy termination of th e harvest is changed into grief. The whole contents of the barn and the stack are consumed, and about 100 sheep, which were kept in the barn during the night, fell a prey to the flames. Cnictiw, AUG. 14.—M.

CORSICAN REVE give the following narrative of a vendetta, which has - ere. ated much sensation :--" N G and E." --- Giacomoni, rrhe dictive animosity has prevailed between two families of Santa Lucia, named Poliwhich period eight or ten victims bad fallen on one side or the other. Last year an apparent reconciliation took place, but the Giacomonis only used it as a snare, and two more members of the Poli family were assassinated. In May last Antonio Giacomoni Baceino was convicted of this last crime, but to the moment of his execution he protested his innocence, and his relations vowed to be revenged. On the 20th of July last a partisan of the Polig, named Or tole, while returning from Altagena, with his brother and wife, was shot by a brother of Antonio Giacomoni. The news had no sooner reached Santa Lucia than Pierre Thomas, a young man connected with the Poli fa mily, went out with his gun, and meeting Batting Giaco moni, wife of the deputy- m ayor, fired at her and killed her on the spot. This was followed by a rumour that threats of raising a conflagration had been uttered, which induced the law officers of the Crown to proceed immediately to the spot. The result of their investigations had not tran spired when the account was sent off, but for three suc cessive days the commune had presented all the appear ance of having been taken by assault, not an inhabitant venturing tooppear in the streets. On the 4th instant, at Cargiace, a village in that neighbourhood, a corporal of Voltigeurs was shot by some bandits, believed to be rela tions of Giacomoni." Upon the application of Mr. Hall, the Chairman of the City of London School Committee, it was ordered that seats should be erected at the east end of the Guildhall, for the accommodation of the masters and scholars of the City of London School on the day of the presentation of the freedom of the City to his Royal Highness Prince Albert. Mr. King, the Chairman of the Joint Committee for carrying into effect the arrange ments of the Guildhall for Friday has attended daily in the building to regulate the numerous details, which, in fact, upon every ceremonial out of the ordinary way, require very scrupulous care and diligence. • We understand that a Deputation from the Gold smiths' Company went from town to Windsor Castle yesterday, in order to present to his Royal Highness the freedom of the Company, which was enclosed in a gold box of surpassing workmanship, manufactured by Run dell and Bridge. A Deputation from the Fishmonger's Company have been also appointed, it is said, to wait upon his Royal Highness with the freedom of that Com pany in a gold box, of very remarkable beauty. it is ge nerally expected, however, that his Royal Highness will visit Fishmongers' Hall about an hour before he kepairs to the Guildhall, and that the freedom of the Company will be presented to him in that splendid building. At all events, we have good reason to believe that his Royal Highness has declined the invitation to be re corded in the city books as a member of either of the Companies, in order to prevent the one from entertain ing a feeling of jealousy towards the other, in conse quence of the preference. His Royal Highness's name will therefore appear in the City Chamberlain's books as " a freeman of London" merely. The Chairman of the Joint Committee has mani fested by what he has accomplished, in a comparatively unimportant occasion, on which the ceremonia . . will be of very short duration indeed, the style in which he would superintend the preparations for a visit from the royal couple, an event to which they look forward with, we trust, a well grounded hope, as likely to take place at no very distant period. THE IRISH METROPOLIS. A Correspondent of a Morning Contemporary pre sents the following picture of Dublin : The Irish metropolis now presents a capital deception to strangers. Never were its leading streets finer, nor its principal shops more superb. A constantly patrol ling police, similar to that of London, preserve order and decorum with almost reprehensible particularity, while the spread of teetotalism has made the apparition of drunken folk a rarity. There are more people than ever in the frequented ways, and some how or other, though brilliant equipages are scarce, there is such a throng of " covered cars," floats, carts, and other ve hicles, with equestrian (male and female) promenaders, as altogether, especially at Carlisle-bridge, to give some idea of noisy London. But, notwithstanding this appearance, the shops are, with a faw exceptions, literally doing nothing, though their business is, at best, only selling British or French goods, for there are no manufactures. Very often the most appalling wretchedness is found close adjoining the best places, as for instance Arran quay, whence you have to turn up only some yards into the parallel line of Tighe and Phoenix-streets, where the sudden contrast of low>. someness and misery is almost incredible. Then as to that large district, the Liberty, it is impossible to ima gine a more melancholy scene. Many of the houses are in a dangerously neglected state, because the owners have been long accustomed to get no rent, for, wh ere there is no property, law has neither force nor terror. What use in ejectmcnts when solvent tenants cannot be had to • replace the non-payers ? One meets but few andre arypsoovleitrutydet,oao faithfullygene rallyndthasefewpearrseonified. exaggeration, it would not be be lieved peo Werelstarvationthis description given of Rainsft!rd and Poole s t ree t s , without the slightest in London, though that city ha; its distress also. This great section of the Irish capital contains about sixty-five streets, lanes, alleys, and courts, and was for merly, which here means " before the union," the busy seat of various manufactures, particularly weaving. But, since that measure abolished the protecting duties, Irish industry sank before British wealth and machinery, and the common assertion that the Earl of Meath, who is ground landlord of the Liberty, would derive more profit from having it under corn or meadow, seems too well founded. Besides the Liberty, there are, throughout, the city, extensive portions in an almost equally miserable state, but the Dubliners, who have most seeisitive pride about their capitat,are always anxious that the passing stranger should avoid them, and go away under the impression of Dublin being a beautiful place. This is not sage policy. Surely it ill accords with the strong representa tions, at popular meetings, of the impoverished condi tion of the metropolis since the " accursed" union. But what we do, and what we ought to do, are two different things. All great congregations of people have their peculiar weaknesses ; and you cannot offend a Dublin citizen more than by disparaging his city. A sure mode for the stranger to ga i n favour, and to be asked to dinner, is to extol the streets, squares, publi c buildings, and quays ; and, if he affirm that London and Paris have the advantage in size only, he may probably get port where humble punch was before in tended. The same appearance of depression is visible in the shipping. Here are docks capable of receiving a great number of vessels, and yet it is common to see them with only twelve or fifteen altogether. There is indeed a good show of steam-packets and colliers on the quays, but take them away, and Dublin would seem to be hardly a tenth-rate sea-port. Foreign ships arc now rarely seen, almost everything coming in British bottoms. Teetotalism has worked fearfully against the business of Dublin. It was never before suspected what a great number of persons the brewers and distillers either directly employed, or were indirectly the means of sus taining. Hundreds, nay thousands, who lived com fortably, are now reduced to indigence. While th e moral advantages of teetotalism cannot be ques tioned, every one asks, what trade or business has it served ? The demand for even common labour has most alarmingly diminished, and there seems to be only one perceivable commercial benefit from the abstinence system—the increase of old clothes shops. This is conspicuously visible to every observer. 'Whole streets arc now devoted to that purpose, inso much that the frontage of shops and walls occupied in the business would certainly measure little short of two English miles. But in that are included those marts in the womens' line, which are sometimes truly miser able exhibitions. It is common to see a few rags, apparently fit only for the paper-maker, attractively dis played before an empty house, a yard enclosure, or any place wherein nails can be driven, and, in default of such convenience, the pavement often serves for a show shop. When one considers how trifling the profit must necessarily be, and that a day frequently passes without receiving a single halfpenny, is it not then a cruel libel on the Irish poor to say that they are idle, or not in dustriously disposed ? The truth is that inactivity is foreign to their nature. When they drank, they should have been either working or drinking, and, now that they are sober, they would walk the streets twelve hours, for the chance of selling a shilling's worth of some low-priced article. A melancholy procession of unemployed working men took place here on Thursday last. They marched three abreast, and, though very poorly clothed, they were all clean and orderly. Misery and privation were strongly depicted in their countenances, and, as they preserved a mournful silence, it was a most distressing scene for humanity to witness. A marked dislike to the work houses is already manifest, and few of even the most destitute will remain there a week. It is observed that beggars are more numerous than ever in the streets, and the benefits anticipated from the Poor-law are certainly Most unpromising. The Irish are extremely averse to confinement, and would generally prefer their liberty, though without lodging, or any prospect of food. No thing could tend more to excite insurrection than a compulsory or Vagrant Act, and yet, without it, the Poor-law will be in a great measure inoperative, and a profitless burden on an impoverished country. prison . Cumous FACT.—In the wide range of Cally Park a spot is pointed out where stood a clump of trees that were completely wrecked during the fearful storm of the 7th of January, 1839. Flocks of daws built in the said trees, so long as their branches waved buoyantly above ; and it seemed odd to the wood forester and others that the daws should remain in their old howf after the trees had disappeared. Althcugh no nests met the eye, there the daws were in full feather, as active, pert, and cunning as ever. At length it was discovered, by sheer accident, that their dawships now breed in the burrows of rabbits, taking care to encamp a little on the one side, so as to allow the original class of tenants, who, although they eat his grass, pay no rent to the Lord of the Manor, a free passage out and in. The rabbits, on their part, arc equally courteous, neither breaking an egg nor molesting a bird; and between• the two the best understanding exuts imaginable.—Dumfrics Courier. PENSIONS TO TIIE POLICE.—Some time since in consequence of representations made by the police Com missioners at the Home Office, it was sanctioned by Go vernment that all members of the force who had belonged to it a stated time, having arrived at a certain age, and against whom no 'serious complaint existed, should be su perannuated on a pension granted from the police fund. That course has recently in a few instances been acted upon. Two inspectors have been pensioned off, each on an allowance of 741. per annum, one or more sergeants at 361. per annum, and several privates at roport ionate sums. CONSTANTINOPLE, JULY - Be:4 had been informed, through the offices of the Turkish High Court ol Justice, of an alleged kidnapping, by Jews of a child at Rhodes. Afterwards, I became acqua;nted with Mr. Isaac Pincherle, of Trieste, the head of the house Isaac Pincherle and Co., which has for ten years ranked among the first and most respectable of the commercial houses of Smyrna. On the .sth of July Mr. Pincherle introduced to me the four Hebrew Deputies from Rhodes, Messrs. Abraham Amato, Baruch Benatto, Isaac Capclato, and Jaltia Misrachi, who have come here in consequence of this unfortunate event. The Deputies wished to make known to Europe the un worthy conduct of several Christian Consuls with re spect to the oppressed Jewish community in Rhodes. The following is the statement, which I wrote down, in the presence of two sworn interpreters, and afterwards compared with the original complaint made to the Go vernment, with which I found it to correspond : On Monday, the 18th of the month M ar ( per i o d of the Je w i s h Passover), the report was circulated in Rhodes that a Greek child, of the age of twelve or thirteen, had been sent ky his mother to buy some cotton-yarn, and had never returned. The mother compla;ned of her son's disappearance to Jussuf Pacha of Rhodes, who ordered two kavasse (gendarme police to assist her in socking the child. Every exertion was made to find the boy, but all in vain. Meanwhile the Paella summoned before him the four elders of the Jews, and ordered them to have the houses of their people searched, as perhaps the boy might be in one of them. At the same time it was everywhere asserted that the Israelites must have murdered the boy. In consequence of this report, the Pacha sent, at sunset, a kavasse to the Jew Stambouli, with notification to come to him immediately. When he made his appearance, the Pacha thus addressed him :—" Attend, Stam bouli ! Two Greek women and a Greek priest met the missing boy on Monday ; he was carrying in one hand a basket with eggs, and in the other a turkey. On their asking where he was going, be said, " Stam bouli, who is gone on before me, bought these things, and I am carrying them home for him." Now, Stambouli, tell me what you have done with the child ?" The Jew, all astonished, replied that he knew not the boy, nor had he ever seen him. The Pacha then ordered 500 bastinades to be given him on the soles of his feet, his legs and arms to be afterwards tied to his back, and in this state of torture the unfortunate man remained for four hours. When the poor wretch, overcome with pain, was about to give up the ghost, he muttered that they might tell him what they wanted of him, for that he would do anything. " You must say that you gave the child to another Jew," was the Pacha's intimation. On promising so to do, he was unbound and conveyed to the Kiaja-Bey (the Lieutenant-Governor), with whom he found the Swedish Consul Stephanak. Both sat as judges on the examination of the delinquent, and both said to him—" If you wish to save your life, you must declare that you gave the boy, through another Jew, to the English Dragoman, who has recently ar rived from Smyrna. Do this, and you shall not only have a considerable sum of money, but we will also help you to the Saraf." Here it is proper to make the following intercalation, as it will contribute to the better understanding of the whole. Some time ago Mr. Davis, a Jewish mer chant established in London, came to Smyrna. Being recommended to the house of Isaac Pincherle and Co., he did business in sponges in a short time through them to the extent of 20,000 florins, When he had con cluded his transactions in Smyrna, he was desirous of going to Rhodes, as the staple mart for sponge, and there, with a view to the future, to establish for himself a regular agent ois the spot. Elias Kalamai accom panied Mr. Davis to Rhodes in the quality of a (frame man, and instructed him in the sponge trade. All the Consuls, who are for the mostpart merchants, were now thrown into a state of alarm, from the fear that Mr. Davis, who was known to be a rich man, would easily draw all the business in this article to himself. The English, Swedish, and Austrian Consuls, were more par ticularly violent. They first went so far as to cast suspicion of defrauding the revenue on the house of Davis. The English Consul Winkelson, who had already once failed, owed again considerable sums, chiefly to Jews, and who had had on the eve of that day bills due, was the most outrageous. By the conjoint contrivance of the Consuls and the Pasha the alarming case of the murder at Damascus was turned to account in the getting up of a charge of an almost similar offence against the Jews of Rhodes. It has been shown that the Jew Stambouli was compelled to say that he had transferred the alleged stolen child to the English dragoman lately come from Smyrna. This was supposed to be the only and the most certain plan for driving the Jewish house of Davis, through the person of its agent, Elias Kalamiti, for ever from the island. Unfortunately for the one party, the Danish drago man, David Misrachi, had arrived at Rhodes only a few days before. The tortured and half-dead Stambouli believed that his tormentors meant this man ; as de sired, he put his declaration in Hebrew, the only lan guage ho could write, to the effect that he bad given -the child to Lazarus Levy, a Jew, to be by him placed in the hands of David Misrachi. On Sunday the Kiaja Bcy and all the Consuls assembled at the residence of the Pacha, Here the change of the name was first dis covered, in presence of the implicated Lazarus Levi, by the Pacha, during the examination, putting the following question—" Do you know, Stambouli, what has become of the child which you gave to this man to be delivered to the Dragoman David Misrachi ?" The English Consul 11 inkelson immediately called Stam bouli to him, and in the most violent anger said, " Wretch, what have you done? You were told to point out the English Dragoman Kalamiti, not Miraschi, the Danish Dragoman." It was now too late to correct the mistake, for the Kiaja Bey, who could not read Hebrew, had been guilty of the imprudence of allowing several Jews to obtain a sight of Stambouli's declaration, and the report had thus been spread not only in the Jewish community but through the whole city. Even the Paella himself, who was well aware that the English Dragoman was aimed at, yet had so indistinct an idea of his name that he believed Misrachi, as written in the de claration, to be the right appellation. It was therefore re solved that the inquisition must proeeed,and at all hazards be brought to a close, even if the innocent should suffer by the result. On Lazarus Levi beitr , questioned as to what had become of th e c hild given to ' l\lisrachi, he answered that he was totally ignorant of the matter. Stambouli was then asked, " Is this the man to whom you delivered the child ?" His reply was in the negative, upon which the Paella and the English Consul could not contain themselves. " What, have you not given in a written declaration ?"—" Yes, it was forced from me ; for I could no longer endure th e p a i n o f t h e torture. " The Pacha immeiately ordered both Levi and Stambouli to be bastinadoed, and during the infliction of the punishment the Danish Dragoman, David Misrachi, was called in. On his entrance ho said—" I know what you want. I am the father of a respectable family, but I am a feeble old man, and cannot support the torture. I will give you all my little property, and besides I can offer you my wife, children, and relations, as hostages, until you can be able to convict ma of the ._ . _ .... ..... slightest - degree of participation in the alleged offence." No answer was given to this offer, but it was followed by the commitment of the unfortunate Dragoman to Three other Jews, Moses Hassan, Israel Samaria, and Bechor Pelosof, who on the day of the alleged kid napping had passed through the village of Trianda, on their way to the City of Rhodes, were arrested. Like the others they were also asked what they had done with the child, whom, it was said, they had met on the road between the village and the town. Great was the astonishment of the poor men ; they protested that they had met no boy. In return for this negative answer, the terrible bastinado was administered, and, still refusing --- --..—. ---... . . . to confess, - they were sent to prison. After these three Jews had undergone this cruel martyrdom, the Rabbi J. Israel, and the four elders of the Jewish community, were brought up ; on this occasion the English and Swedish Consuls were the chief inquisitors. Theexamination began thus :—" Confess, now, how you disposed of the Chris tian child, whose blood you used for your Passover bread?" The answer by the Rabbi was, ~ We know nothing of the child. Mor eover, b y none of our laws or sacred books is such a horrible and unnatural sacrifice prescribed as that of w hich it is wished to make us ap pear guilty. The Rabbi was proceeding further, when the English Consul Winkel son thus interrupt e d him:— ‘, silence! we did not send for you to hear your the d s a c h a l a m - j u stification, tell us where the child is." On ration being repeated that they had no knowledge what ever of the child, they experienced much ill treatment from the Consuls, being driven from the chamber and insulted with reproachful language, , as—" Away with youdnfotrhtehseampreessenutn,dayyouevJoenwindgogthe . dogs i Pacha, on th e ap plication of the Consuls, ordered ls that no individual ten k a vas s n e i s i g to t psuarsrsoiunnodrtohuetJ.

The besieged, therefokl: 'Val fered greatly from thirst, but all their prayers for water were made in vain. The use of the brackish water was followed by a burning thirst, and children and the aged soon lay perishing in the streets and in the pas sages leading out through the gates of the Jewry. On the fourth dear of this etric t bleckade a court wen again held at the Paella's. There wero present the ' Consuls, the Mollah (the Turkish Civil Judge), and the heads of the Moslem religion. Th e R a bbi , t h e 1 four Elders, and the accusers (two Greek women and the Papa), were introduced, but the other accused Jews were not brought up. The Paella de sired the women to declare what they knew re specting the loss of the child. They replied that they saw the boy go into the town with a basket of eggs and a turkey, and that, as he had net since been heard of; they conjecturad that the Jews had murdered him. The Mollah ordered the gate keepers and the custom-hciuse officers established at the gates to be brought in .and confronted with the complainants. All the gatekeepers and custom-house officers declared that they had seen no such boy, and that consequently be had not entered by any of the gates of the town. After this and many other centre dietory explanations, the Mellish and the heads of the Mahotnetan religion declared that it by no mee.ns ~P e peered that the complaint could be followed up, end that the Jews should be immediately set free and no longer persecuted by harassing proceedings. Neverthe less, in spite of this decision, the blockade of the Jewry was continued, and in the mean time the Cori sul Winkelson went to a Jew, and with the grossest sanctimonious hypocrisy said to him—" Pray to God to make the child ever again in Heaven and send hint to you, for otherwise you are undone. Such a miracle can alone save you, for you murdered the child—that is certain." After the Jews had been shut up in their quarter o the town for twelve days, enduring hunger, thirst, arid every privation, a Muhassil (Finance Director and Intendant-General) happened to be sent from Constan tinople to Rhodes to be the receiver of the whole of tlie imposts, as he had. to: pass by the blockad e d J ewry , and when he learned the ground of the measure, he told the Paella that it was most unjust thus to punish a whole population for the alleged guilt of perhaps only two ; and that if the blockade was not immediately raised, lie would send a representation on the subject to Constantinople. This did the business, the kavasses were withdrawn, and the half-starved inhabitants rushed from their quarter to the fountains and the bakers' shops, happy, after twelve days of misery, to get a morsel of bread and a draught of water ; however, as they passed along they were pelted with rotten lemons by the Christians, that is, by the Greek Christians. Every one now believed the affair ended ; but on the fifteenth day after the raising of the blockade, the Austrian Consul Giuliani, and the English Consul Winkelson, entered several Jewish stores, mid told the owners that it was disgusting to wait so long, and that if the boy was not found by to-morrow morning, the Rabbi should be hung up at the door of the synagogue. Next morning, several kavasses carried the Rabb and the four Elders before the Paella, with whom all the Consuls had assembled. A new trial commenced, and after the interrogatories the Pasha gave notifica tion that no further indulgence would he granted. The Rabbi solemnly repeated his asseveration of the inno cence of himself and of the community under his charge, and appealed to the judgment pronounced by the Mollah. The English Consul retorted—" So ! you still persist in your lie ! What signifies the Mollall'e judgment to us, after what has happened at Damas cus, and it is proved, that according to the precepts of the Talmud, Christian blood must be used in making y.ur Passover bread !" The following was the answer of the Rabbi :—" The same delusion pre vails here as at Damascus, but since Mr.Winkclson says that the Talmud commands us to use Christian blood in making our Passover bread, will he be so good as to tell me where we got that blood before any Christians ex isted ?" Nobody was prepared to solve this difficulty, and, instead of a reply, the Jews were all scourged and committed to prison in separate cells. The English Consul urged the Pacha to apply the torture again, oh serving that without it no confession could be obtained The Pacha gave his assent and ordered the Rabbi to he suspended from the roof of one of the halls in the fol lowing manner :—A rope passed under the arms was tightly entwined around the chest and over the ab domen, and thus attached by the rope to a hook he was left swinging. But this was not all ; two large chafing pans, full of burning coal were placed under the priest's feet. In this way he passed the whole of the night, and on the following day the inhuman Consuls amused themselves with the barbarous spectacle. When the Rabhi was aware of their presence, ho cried out—•" Giuliani, Austrian Consul, have pity on me ; I am an Austrian subject Y' Giuliani's heart-lacerating brutal answer was, " What, Rabbi! what do you complain about? So you aro not dead yet?" After the martyr had thus passed forty-six hours swinging in the air with the dreadful chafing pans under his feet, the blood gushed from hie extremities ; and the priest was on the point of giving up the ghost, without any confession being extorted by this horrible and infamous cruelty. When the Paella was informed of the condition of the Rabbi, he ordered him to be taken down and returned to his prison, where he was cast upon a heap of straw. Tile unfortunate Danish Dragoman, David Misrachi, was brought out, and suspended and tortured in the same manner. Misrachi being, however, a far less vigorous man than the priest, he was, at the end of six hours, in 3. dying state, and yet no confession was extorted from him. There was scarcely time to inform the Pacha of the apparently rapidly approaching dissolution of the victim. When taken down he was quite insensible, and in that state was carried back to his dungeon. Meanwhile the Grand Rabbi in Constantinople being informed of the accusations and of the cruelties practised on the Jer:s in Rhodes, made application to the Porte on that subject, and claimed the benefit of the Hatti- Seherilf.; In about a month after the totture the Rabbi had sustained, an order was despatched by the Govern ment to the Pacha of Rhodes requiring him to send to Constantinople the mother of the child, the three Greek complainants, and four Jews, elected by that community as deputies. Before their departure Juesuf-Pacha called them together, and admonished them to say nothing against him to the Sublime Porte, as the whole of his proceedings in this deplorable affair had been dictated by the Consuls. Thus far you have the genuine narrative of the Jens } corresponding in substance with the criminal complaints preferred by their accusers. I learn that the affair ha* been made the subject of three conferences by the Porte. I can, in the meantime, warrant the following facts. The dragoman and agent, Elias Kalamiti, lost no time in in forming his principal, Mr. Davis, in London, of the terrible atrocities as they occurred at Rhodes. Mr. Davis, with the most respectable Jews of London, made a representation to the English Government, in which the memoralists prayed for protection against the vio lent and arbitrary acts of the English Consul, Winkelson, requested an investigation, but no steps will be taken against the Consuls by their respective; Governments until the judgment be delivered by the Porte, which I can assure you will be entirely in favour of the Jews. GAME.—The moors during the last few days have produced much more plentifully than they did at the outset; but from all we can learn, the anticipations at abundance which were entertained six weeks since have not been realised. Almost all the accounts agree in re presenting the birds to be strong and shy, and this, no doubt, is one of the causes why they baac not been bagged in such largo numbe ries has wont to be the case. Yesterday afternoon, about half-past too, as a youth aged 16, employed at the Royal Brunswick Qar dens, Vauxhall, was pushing off a barge from the pier, fell into the river, and before assistance could be rendered, although in the presence of a number of persons, he sank to rise no more. Throughout the afternoon the drags were employed, but the body was not found till nearly six o'clock in the evening embedded in the mud under the pier. - • THE GREAT - WILL CAUSE.—The great cause Blundell v. Lord Camoys, brought to try the validity of the will of the late Charles Blundell, Esq. of Ince, W fixed for Monday next. The Attorney-General, Sit John Campbell, is retained in favour of the will, and the Solicitor- General, Sir Thomas Wilde, against it. We believe that from the nature of the cause the defendants will have to begin, so that we hope to give the Attorney- General's speech in our next paper, and as the cause it expected to last at least a week, it will probably not bo closed much before the publication of our succeeding number. It is expected to be a highly interesting cause, and if it should prove so we shall give a very full and ac curate report of it in a supplement. The property at stake is immensely greater than that involved in the cele brated Hornby will case, and it is said 'that the number of witnesses will be as great. The question to be decided is, whether Mr. Blundell was of sound mind at the time when he made the will in dispute.—Liverpool Times. From Henry Cowper, Esq., of Tewen.waters, Herts, to Messrs.
