Morning Advertiser. PRICE sd. in their proceedings; but be approached the task with a sincere conviction that he would not be able to do justice to so fruitful a theme. The question was important, not only to the Jews, but to all Christians—not only important to Syria, but to every land ; for, alas where was the land where fanaticism, ignorance, and superstition, had not at one time raised their bloody banners? and although they might fancy that in the 19th century those banners would not again be raised, unfortunately they were undeceived, and they persecuted Jews were made to feel the same dangers and horrors which had taken place in Europe in former cen turies, and made to know that fanaticism, ignorance, and superstition were still allowed to hold sway in some coun tries. They had heard the Report read by the Secretary, it entered into details which were not only shocking to the feelings but repugnant to every feeling of humanity. The tone of moderation which pervaded the Report was a proof of its truth.—( Mr. O'Connell here appeared on the plat form, and was received with loud sheering.)—ln express ing their detestation of the recent occurrences at Damas cus, it was not necessary for them to wait to hear whether the charges were true or false. He believed them to be as false as the nature of the men who made them was cruel and wicked—be was sure that the whole country would rise with one voice and one accord to stamp the cruelties, the horrors, which had been indicted at Damas cus with their abhorrence. Those cruelties had taken pkee under a man to whom, as a warrior, he was most willing to pay his tribute • but it was to be remembered that he was a man who wished it to be thought that he was the friend of civilization, and who called upon all Europe to reward him for it by conferring upon him the hereditary do minion of the country in which these cruelties bad taken place. Ho hoped that what had been done would prove to him to be the destruction of his hopes. The oppressor of the Je ns of Damascus was a man who had violated all the rules of civilised countries in order to realise the dreams of conquest and ambition, he had long entertained. But who were the people who were subject to these sufferings ?—( Hear, hear.) They were a people, who if Christians bad any faith in the religion they professed, they should believe, were con nected with all that was dear and sacred ie relligion— ( Hear, hear)—whum they should believe to be a people on whose history their faith was founded, and to whose future restoration, both political and religious, they should look forward with undoubted confidence. —( Cheers, ) They were a people connected throughout the world with the progress of commerce and civilization, and with the extension of the relations between man and man. They were a people devoted to the pacific pursuits of trade, and notoriously averse to mixing themselves up with the political struggles of the countries in which they lived. They were everywhere the promoters of education and the supporters in their own persons of that civil and reli gious liberty towards others which they claimed in their own behalf. They were a people who had given the best proof of the value they set on freedom by their unremitting endeavours to extend to others without distinction of creed or caste, that toleration to which they themselves had a right. The resolution which had been entrusted to him was one which expressed a deep censure of the cruelty of which the Jews of Damascus had been the objects, and it asked for an immediate and impartial investigation into the calumnies with which they were charged. Could a more just or a more reasonable request be made? All that was asked was a full and free investigation. He hoped, for the credit of civilised nations, that that investigation would show that those reports which had reached him of the conduct of the repeesentae tives of European Powers at Damascus were unfounded. He hoped the French Consul would be able to clear him self in the eyes of the civilised world of the imputation which bad been cast on him of sanctioning, by his silent acquiescence at least, the cruelties of which they had just heard.—(Loud cheers.) He thought that the charges against the Jews of Damas cus carried with them their own refutation, and those charges were so monstrous that he could not believe them. —( Hear, hear.) It watt impossible, in his opinion, that if a people had been guilty not for one year, but for hundreds of years, not of one murder, but a succession of murders, such facts could have remained till now un known and undiscovered.—(Cheers.) The perpetration of a single act, such as those with which these parties were charged would have created a loud cry of indi g nation and a call for immediate punishment against the Jewish people in those lands in which they found a shelter and a home. The charge was an incredible one, but he felt that the Jews of Syria and of England had a right to call on the authors of the calumny to give the means of meeting it with a complete refutation.—( Hear, bear.) He would call on them, and on the whole Christian world, if they had any faith in the precepts of their religion—if they had any respect for justice, and if they had any grati tude towards that Providence which had placed them in a country free from pusecution —he would call on them to raise a loud and indignant cry on the subject— ( Cheers.) That cry would be a source of consolation to those unhappy people in their confinement and their dun geons ; It would scare the tyrant on his throne, and it would be to themselves a subject of gratification to know that so far as lay in them, they had endeavoured to prevent the recurrence of abominations contrary not only to all the precepts of morality and re ligion, but destructive of the first and most evident rights of man.—( Loud cheers.) The resolution was then read, as folloes : That this meeting has heard with the deepest emotion and with the greatesihorror, the recital of the cruelties inflicted upon the Jews in the East, and hereby expresses its Christian sympathy for the sufferers, and its earnest hope that an imme diate and impartial public investigation will take place so as to disprove, in the face of the whole world, the atrocious calum nies invented anti propagated by their persecutors as a pretext for the infliction of cruelties almost unknown to the previous history cf mankind. JOHN MASTERMAN, Esq., rose to second the resolu tion. He felt impressed not only with a desire common to all Englishmen of putting an end to oppression, but be also wished to take that opportunity of express ing the respect which he entertained for that liberal and influential portion of the Jewish people, who resided in this country—( Hear, hear) —a body who had ever shown themselves ready to manifest their loyalty to the Sovereigns of this land, and the kindness of their dispositions in pro moting every charitable and useful institution. He could not sit down without congratulating the meeting on the selection of the individual who was about to embark for Syria, for the purpose of carrying into effect the wishes of the friends of the Jewish people.—(Hear.) No man could be more warthy of the choice than Sir Moses Montefiore—(Cheers)--and no man was more re spected for his virtues in public and in private life. Sir CHARLES FORTIES came forward to support the next resolution. He felt that it would not become him to oc cupy much of their time, while there were many around him who cottld much better express the feeling every one should entertain of the persecution of which the Jews of Damascus had been the objects. There was a fact, however, in connexion with the his tory of the Jewish people to which he wi.,hed to allude. The groat part of the Indian army was c imposed of Jows. —( Cheers.) That was a fact not generally known. One of the fines. battalions in the service at Bengal was com posed almost wholly of Jews and at that place at least half a-dczen officers were selected from the Jewish persuasion. Having said thus much he would conclude by proposing the following resolution : That this meeting deems it right thus publicly to declat e its abhorrence of the use which has been made of torture for the purpose of extorting confessions from the unhappy persons ac cused—its utter disbelief of the confessions thus obtained—and its earnest hope that this relic of a barbarous age will he from henceforth abolished ; and that those just pt inciples which have in European States secured to the accused a fair and impartial trial may be speedily extended to every nation throughout the world. Dr. BowEiNo then came forward to second the resole. tion, and was received with great cheering. He had thought that he could riot be accused of impropriety or intrusion if he seconded the revolution that bad just been propos, d for the acceptance of the meeting, inasmuch as it had been his lot to be not unconnected with the lo cality where these sad events had taken place, and to have even personal knowledge of the individual victims.—( Cheers.) He had received hospitalities in the convent of which Friar Thornaso was the distinguished ar.d benevolent friend.—( Cheers.) And he knew what a strong hold be bad on the affections of the Christian population, and the excitement that had been created by the circumstances of his death.--( hear, and cheers.) He bad also the honour of the personal acquaintance of many Jews that had suffsred, and he held in his hand at that moment a document written at Damascus, in which he endeavoured to represent the importance of the Jewish population, and in which lie found that there were more than twenty of them engaged in trade with Eng land, having a capital of sixteen or eighteen millions of piasters. If he could believe that any word of man would assist this missionary of benevolence and toleration in his highly honourable and holy mission, g reat,would be his delight, for be could not conceal from himself all the difficulties that surrounded the engagements he had under taken to perform himself, that of pleading the cause of the opprt ssed Jew in the presence of the oppressor, and in that region of fanaticism, in its worst form.—( Cheers.) It was a n,ost singular fact, but net more singulae than true, that in the East, in the Holy Land, at Mecca, M a _ dina, Damascus, and Jerusalem, places sacred to Chr anity, were the spot§ of all others where Christianity was least learned.—(Cheers.) Their friend was going to tell those who were under the influence of ignorance, that they had better be wise, and those who were under the it.fluer cc of superstition, that theysGlinaidettielitntgerhbaed been done n i. t c happy w sp a i s rjt , r to when say the British Consul le t e l ur m ag re he dare not appear in a European dress flw"oncrit'Dhlto;fiumtrstinsult, and it waa not ten years ago since Chris- ' tians could not appear in the Bazaar there in the costume of the European nations ; but such, he was happy to say, was not the case now. If those present wished to know what was the state of things in the East, let them recollect what wa s the state of this country a few centuries age. The present question was not only embarrassed by political c onsiderations but by religious ones, and it must not also be forgotten that the position of the French Government in Syria was a most curious one; and with respect to the murder of Thornaso, there was no doubt the charge against the Jews was a most unfounded one. In order to show how favourable the Sovereign of Egypt was to the cause of mercy and justice, he would state what occurred to him self some time since. About three years ago, seven teen Syrian Christians owed the Sovereign of Egypt up wards of ore hundred and thirty thousand pounds, and not being able to pay, they were condemned to the galleys. At that time Lord Pi ulhoe, whose passage through that State left light and beneficence behind it. was there, and a *Consul, together with himself, e ere applied o by the Greek Archbishop, who requested them to use their influence with Mehemet Ali to o'btaidtbeir forgive.; ness, or some commutation of the sentence. They spoke to the Pacha of his power, but they told him it was nobler to be just.—( Loud catering.) assured him that they did not come to him w plead P 31 ,,s behalf of those who had done him injury, but to plead for the tears of the women and children which they had seeu dropping on their faces when they thought of the destitute state in which they were left. The Parana walked upend doe is his palace, and said that they were deceived : that it was ne cessary to make an example of those who had injured him so deeply, but it was obvious that his heart was touched. They repeated again that they were not pleading for the guilty, but for the innocent—not for the offending fathers, but for the innocent wives and children. Three days after the Pacha had written him a letter stating that the Chris. tians had been forgiven.—( Cheers.) He mentioned this in order to give encouragement to their friend who was about to tread in their footsteps. He would mention another circumstance in order to show the largeness of the liberality and spirit of toleration by which Niehernet AU was actuated. A few years ago at Keng, opposite to Mecca, the Christians had erected a church. It was an imprudent step for the Christians to take, because it stood in the way of the flood of fanaticism and superstition which was always flowing towards Mecca and Medina. The church was destroyed by the Mahommedan pilgrims. The Christians erected the church a second time, and a second time it was destroyed by the pilgrims. A third time the church was erected by the Christians, and a third time it was destroyed by the Pilgrims. A deputation was sent to Cairo by the themes, stating that the Christians bad usurped an authority which they did not possess—that they had no right tit rcct a Christian church, and were acting contrary to the law. He referred this deputation to the superior tribunal, and that tribunal decided that the Christians had no right to build the church. Nevertheless the Pacha said that, as the Christians had been led astray, and did not know that they were violating the law, he would order au acceunt of the money which they had expended to be made out, and he would restore it.—( Hear, hear, hear.) (He Dr. Bowring) afterwards visited the spot, and found that the money had been received. He mentioned this circum stance because there might be no doubt as to the charac ter of the Sovereign of Egypt, and it would be well to represent to hint that his character for toleration, for liberality, for wisdom, nay, even for prudence, was involved in this affair.—( Hear, hear.) He e e , had received a letter by the last packet from a person of high authority, stating that when the necessity for making a complete and full investigation into -.this raise was made to the Pacha, he expressed his desire that such inves tigation should be made, his determination to throw no impediment whatever in the Way of such investigation, and his willingness to submit the case to the investiketion of any tribunal of the British consul might approve. —( Cheers.) He hoped that these sufferings of tire Jews of Damascus might be the means of elevating the position of the fieb:ew nation throughout the world. Their cha• ratter it was impossible to elevate higher than it stood, and he hoped that that justice which was about to be done to them in the East would be reflected back on the West, • and that while they advocated the cause of the Jews where they had so little power, they would take care that jastico should be done them in these regions, where their power was so much.—( Loud and continued cheers ) The resolution was then put and carried unanimously. S. GURNEY, Esq., then came forward to propose the next resolution, and was received with loud cheering. He said he also esteemed it a high honour to be per- • nsitted to take part in the proceedings on the 'acacia occasion among the supporters of the great cause of civil and religious liberty. It was a great privilege of all who lived in this country and in this city, that when any cause, having for its object the furtherance of humanity, or the freeing of the oppressed was brought forward, the voice of the people was always heard at the summons. All parties in such a case united in the cause of humanity. With respect to this particular occasion of the persecution of the Jews at Damascus, he was rejoiced that iris respected friend Sir Moses Montefiore was about to proceed to that region to support his oppressed and persecuted brethren, and he could not doubt but that his mission would be fraught with the greatest advantage and benefit, not merely to the Jews of that groat city, but to those of all other parts of the globe, and that it weuld tend to put them in a right position, as civil members of every country in which they were located.—(Cheers.) One great advantage would accrue from this meeting—it would tend to do away with that persecution which had been used, not only towards Jews, but to• wards Christians also, by their fellow Christians, at least so called, for he could not con sider any man a real Chi-istian who was a persecutor. —( Cheers.) Sir Moses Montefiore was about to leave his native country to proceed to those regions where the climate was so unpropitious to natives of these countries. May the prayers of all the inhabiturs of this great metropolis for his safety be beard. He would have them. Great cheering.) And may he return not only with the high satisfaction of having sue. ceeded in his endeavours, but reaping that inward satisfac tion which of all others lie must be desirous of enjoying. The resolution he was about to propose would, ho was sure, meet with the unanimous approbation not of the meeting only, but of the whole metropolis.—( Cheers.) He begged to propose the following resolution:— That this meeting expresses its deep regret that, in this enlightened age, a persecution should have arisen against oar Jewish brethren, originating in ignorance and inflamed by bigotry, and it oilers its anxious prayer thrkt, through this dif fusion of seem! principles of religion in every country, all men may be considered as alike entitled to protection, and to the benefit of jtht laws impartially administered. JAMES MORISON, ESQ., M. P., seconded the resolution. Ile also considered it a great privilege to be permitted to take part in the proceedings of such a meeting as the pro. sent. lie would not go over the ground which had al ready been gone over by those who had preceded him, lees cause he felt he might weaken the force of what they had said, hut he considered that the language, whether of the speakers, or of the 'resolutions themselves, was far too weak to express the deep detestation which all must feel at the atrocious proceeding at Damascus. In all that had been said in reprobation of the conduct pursued towards the unfortunase Jews at Damrscus he fully concurred. He hoped that they should hear no more of such proceedings, but he wanted language to describe the feelings which every one must entertain when they thought on the tortures which bad been inflicted on the unhappy Jews at Damascus. lie respected his fellow-citizens of that persuasion. He - could not raise their character higher than they now stood by anything he could say ; but this he would state, from what lie had seen of them during his life, that a more ho nourable, useful, and patriotic wesyeetlwfaoerfree,maberonidurdidiied, most e o s r t t e efoxri cor dially t t t o ha t n ak t e he a de e p Jews — int ( e C re i rt er i s n ) the T ir h seconded the resolution. G. LAEPENT, Esq., moved the next resolution. Ho cows sidered it a great honcur to be selected to move a resolu tion on the present occnsion. They had assembled not inercly fur the sake of their pertecuted brethren, but for the great principles of civil and religious liberty.—( Cheers. ) lie hoped the voice of England, and the voice of Europe, weuld put an end to such atrocities, that were a disgrace to man.—(ll , -ar, 'near.) The resolution he bad to propose was as tallow:: — That this meeting cannot separee without expressing its gratdleation that many persons of distinguished rank and seethe), as well as the Government of this country, have testified their willingness to uphold and support the cause of suffering humanity, and it hereby offers its thanks to the Right Hon. Lord Palmerston for his prompt imerference, and also to the Right lion. Sir Robert Peel, and other Members of the Legislature, for the kind into rust they have taken in this question. He telt highly gratified at having to propose such a resolu tion, as it was one that all must concur in. They had seen the two great parties of the state, when the cause of humanity was at stake, united together for the good of the country.—( Cheers.) They had been told the moment the question was raised nothing could be more honourable than the conduct cf the Government speaking tiwough Lord Palmerston, and they had seen the Government stimulated through that distinguished leader of tire Conservatives, Sir R. Peel.—(Cheers.) Such an union would have the greatest effect in modern Europe ; aad when that dram pioe and apostle, Sir Moses Montefiore, went to redeem his brethren in a distant land, he would go with the whole weight and influence of England.—( Bear, hear.) All England was determined to raise its voice against oppression and against the infamous use of tor ture.—( Cheers.) Sir Moses NloateCore was ready to stay the arm of the oppressor nod the bigot, and to establi.h the cleirac:er of Asiatic nations for toleration; and to place England and Europe at the head of those communities in this world which enforced religious tolera tion and civil liberty.—( Hear, hear. ) S4SICEL Jesus CAPPER, Esq , seconded the resolution. England had ever shown herself ready to come forward to rescue suffering humanity from the baneful influence •f cruelty, persecution, and torture. —( Hear.) It was de lightful to see when the cause of humanity required support, that party strife at once gave way, and that public men like Lord Palmerston and Sir Robert Peel endea voured to vie with each other in advocating the good cause. —( Hear, hear.) 'I here were members of the Legislature present, and it gave him great ph asurc to see that they forgot all party differences and applauded him, whoever he might be, who came forward in support of the cause of truth and justice.— (Cheers.) The resolution was then put and carried unanimously. The Right lion. Lord BOWDEN said that, concurring ter he did in all the sentiments that had been expressed with so much ability and feeling by those . g m entlemen who bad addressed the meeting, it was a preacing task to Katie to propose the resolution which he held in his hand.— ( Cheers.) After all that had been said, nonhing remained for him to say ; but in the mysterious and inscrutable dis pensations of Providence, it was often seen that good came out of evil, and, therefore, he hoped, and fondly cherished the hope, which he was sure was also fondly cherished by all his Christian ferends in that Assembly, that the Legislature of this country would now sec the absolute necessity of making a loud disavowal of their belief in the atrocities a.cribd to the Jews, and at the same time give them compensation for tire sufferings which that very Legislature, he woo grieved to say, in former times had entailed on them.— ( Cheers.) He trusted this would be done without delay, and that the effect of the interposition would be most bene ficial to this large portion of our fellow -countrymen. The Hon. and Rev. BAPTIST Nov., who was received with enthusiastic cheers, said that he entirely agreed with w yd l e d pl e o v re e d n . eventually would iltriSe the Noble Lord who m oved the last resolution, in the pleas r o m i t n h g o e a n e t v i i c i s i p t a h t e i on so deeply n that rod e would now arise, because he trusted the knowledge of that meeting would extend to that very country where those crimes were perpetracd. It was a crime of so unjust and atrocious a character, as could scarcely be paralleked in the most barbarous ages—(Cries of " bear, hear") --bat in order that they might have a full impression of the ex treme injustice done, net would ask permission to allude for a fen , moments to the facts of the case, which, per haps had not been sufficiently dwelt upon by the preceding speakers. It was now five months ago that a Latin prioak being missing from his convent, a great many persona ap. plied to the french Consul at Demure:la, and the Pacha had proceeded on the ith of February to the quarters of the city occupied by t he Jews, alleging it to be their in- LONDON, SATURDAY, JULY 4, 1640.

PERSECUTION OF THE JEWS A public meeting took place yesterday at the Egyptian ,fall, Mansion House, for the purpose of expressing the ympathy of the citizens of London with the Jews of Da nascus, who had lately been subjected to the most cruel iersecutloes iu that country, and their detestation of the trocious calumnies which had circulated against them. At two o'clock, the hour appointed for taking the chair, he Hall was filled in every part, and among those present crc a large number of ladies of respectability. On the latform we observed Alderman Thompson, M.P., J. A emith, Esq., M. P., W. Evans, Esq., Sir Denham Nor •ys, M. P., J emee Morrison, Esq , M. P., \V. Atwood, Esq., M.P., Dr. Bowring, Martin Smith, Esq., M.P., V rook Eaq . Sir C. Forbes, Sir Jeremiah Bryant, Thomas Campbell, Esq., the poet, Horsley Palmer, Esq., meet Salunions, Esq., Samuel Gurney, Esq., Dr. urnbull, T. A. Curtis, Esq., John Master man, Esq , s. 11. Larpent, Esq., G. Prevost, Esq., Thos. Deal, Zig., John Dillon, Esq., Capt. Sheppard, John rlowden, Esq.. Lord Howden, Hon. and Rev. Baptist Noel, Rev. el. Gilbert, Sir Bruges Carnac, John Cape!, Esq., John ('ravers, Esq., and several eminent bankers and merchants of the City, whose names we did not learn. After a few minutes past two o'clock, Mrr Wree came forward and read a letter from the Lord Mayor, suiting that he was detained by important sublic business at the Court of Aldermen, arid deeply re ;setting his inability to take the chair, tibial his friend Alderman Thompson kindly consented to take in his ab senee. Uir the motion of Mr. \VIM the chair was taken by Alderman Thompson amidst loud cheers. The CHAIILMAN said they had been already informed of he cause of the absence of th s Lord Mayor having argent public business at the Guildhall. He had requested that he (Mr. Thompson) would take the ;hair in order that the meeting might not be detained, and 'heir valuable time wasted.—(Hear, hear.) He had consented to take the chair on these terms, at the same time he was perfectly conscious of the very feeble manner in which he should discharge that duty in comparison with his Lordship. He was also aware how much less effect a meeting would have, presided over by an humble individual iike himself, as compared with the Lord Mayor. There was this peculiar satisfaction to him, in attending the present meeting, and presiding over it, namely, that that large, numerous, and most respectable meeting was net sssembled fur the purpose of discussing any question on which there was a probability of a difference of opinion. —( Hear, and cheers.) They were not met for any 'arty or political purposes, but they were convened for the purpose of expressing their sympathy at the suffer ings, the injustice, the cruelty, and the tyrannical perse cutions which had been exercised towards a most respect. able portion of their fellow creatures ; and in the full hope and expectation that the feeling of sympathy which might ho expressed towards their sufferings and the acts of tyranny exercised towards them, would produce an effect on those distant countries, and thereby avert any further cuffering from these unfortunate persons.—( Hear and cheers.) It was not for him, but for those who were to take a prominent part in the meeting by proposing the various resolutions, to go into a detail of the horrors to which he had alluded; but he would take the liberty of saying that so far as his information enabled him to judge that, in his opinion, the Jews of Da mascus had been as honourable, as praiseworthy, and as respectable in their conduct as . the Jews who were domi ciled amongst them in England.--(Hear, bear.) He would take leave to say for them, that there was no body of their fellow-citizens who were more ready to come for ward on every occasion to ail the cause of humanity, to relieve the wants of the poor and the destitute, to instruct and protect the orphan, and to promote literature and science.—(Cheers.) They did not confine their bounty to those of their own persuasion, but were just as ready to extend their hands to the cheistian, and all other sects. In order to show the high estimation in which they were held, he might state that one of that body, Mr. Salomons, lately held one of the highest offices to which he could be elected by the citizens of London—( Hear, hear)—and he also held the same office irs one of the most wealthy 4n d influential counties in England—the county of Kent. He might enumerate many others of the Jewish persua sion who had added to the renown and the wealth of the City of London, and he need only remind them of Roths child, a name which would endure as long as the City of London itself.—( Loud cheers.) He would not treepass further upon their time, but before the resolution was moved, he believed Mr. Wire had a short report to read, which would more fully explain the objects of the present meeting.—( Hear, hear.) Mr. Wiese said in introducing the statement of the c.s,se he could not do better than quote the words of Sir R. Peel %stile speaking of the case of the persecuted Jews in the House of Co.r,mons. Ile said the circumstances were shortly these :—" It appeared that a native of Sardinia, of the name of Thomaso, a Roman Catholic priest, he believed of the Capuchin order, who had lived at Damascus since 1807, disappeared about the beginning of February of the present year, together with his servant, under what was certainly strong suspicion of murder. Shortly afterwards echarge was preferred against the Jews in that city, which was really in itself almost in credible—that this gentleman had been murdered in order that his blood might be made use of in the feast of unlea vened bread. A Jew, following the trade of a barber, a' young man of about 20, was apprehended, the monk having been seen at his house posting up a paper on the walls ; and he believed that was supposed at first to have been the last time the monk was seen, and this person was therefore appre hended by the authorities of Damascus. The man denied any knowledge of the murder, but he was subjected fur tbree days to the moat cruel tortures. At last he could bear theca rzci•langer longer, and when life was almost extinct he charged seven of the most wealthy inhabit ants of Damascus, being Jews with the commission of the murder. Those seven persons, who, he (S:r R. Peel) believed were persons of high character in Da mascus, were immediately apprehended, and subjected to to:ments which he would not shock the feeling of the House by mentioning. Two of them at least, he believed, died under the infliction of those tortures, arid the consequence was, what might have been expected, that some of them after enduring day after day, and hour after hour the most excessive agony, wildly confessed that they had themselves participated in the murder, in order that they might apply the blood of the Christian to the purpose mentioned. A great number of other Jews bad also been taken up. The Egyptian authorities having countenanced the charge, and some Christian authorities also, he was sorry to say, having lent their sanction, the consequence was, that the greatest prejudice against the Jews had been excited among the whole population of Damascus and the neighbouring country. This prejudice would affect the entire body of the Jews throughout the world, unless some effectual step were taken to appease it.'' The affecting statement of the sufferings of the Jews at Damascus, contained in the representation by that body to the congregation of the same faith at Constantinople, and transmitted by thorn to influential persons in this country, have already been brought before the public through the ordinary channels of information. To this account of the atrocities suffered by the Jews, may be added a very de tailed, but most painful statement of the case by the Rev. Mr. Pieritz, a clergyman, attached to the Mission of Jerus salem, of which the following is an extract of a report from him to the Jews of Alexandria, under date 13th May, signed " G. M. Pieritz :" " \Vhen we, therefore, the Mission of Jerusalem, to which I have the honour to belong, heard of the calum oious charge so often brought against our nation, espe cially in the 13th century, and even against Christians, by the Heathens of the first three centuries, under which the Jews of Damascus were now suffering, and considered the baneful effects which this report at once produced among an ignorant and bigoted population, it was im mediately resolved amongst the members of our Mission, especially our worthy and reverend Superintendent, Mr. John Nicola) son, that I should forthwith go to Damascus, in order, if supported by the European Consuls there, I might give my testimony that your religion, so far from requiring murder and the use of blood expressly forbids both, and to this first impression to repeat in my own name the famous oath of your illustrious Manasseh Ben Israel. Whether the Jews had committed murder or not we could not decide at a distance, but what we wished to de was to prevent the crime of one, or some, being made a national crime. " I was fixed on for this mission, as I was born a Jew, and was trained up for the Rabbinical profession, and, therefore, best qualified; and as a Christian, Led by no means a friend or advocate of Rabbinism, reasonably accepted as a witness in such a case. " I will not describe what my feelings were when at Da tnascus,-1 found the whole charge against the Jews there a fabrication, and that all means and right of legal defence was denied them, while the most cruel tortures were em ployed to extort from them false confessions of guilt, which some were cowards enough to make. You are now in pos session of the result of my labours at Damascus, and know also what steps I am now taking in Alexandria and intend to take in the case." " The following arc the tortures to which the persecuted peosle were exposed . " 1. Floggeig. " 2. Soaking persons in large tanks of cold water in their clothes. " 3. The head machine, by which the eyes are pressed out of their sockets. "4. Tying up tender parts of the body, and ordering sol diers to twist and horribly to dispose them into such con tortion that the poor sullerers grow almost mad with pain. " 5. Standing upright for three days without being allowed any other posture, not even to lean against the walls; and when they would fall down, arc aroused up by the by- standing sentinels with their bayonets. " 6. Being dragged about in a large court by the ears until the blood gushed out. " 7. Having thorns driven in between their nails to the fl , sh of fingers and toes. 8. Having fire set to their beards till their faces aro singed. 9. Having candles held under their noses, so that the flame arises t.p into the nostrils. ( Signed) " G. M. PaxiTz." These cruelties a ere committed upon seven of the most wealthy Jews in Damascus, and hundreds of children had b. , en put into prison. JOHN ABEL SMITH, Esq., M. P., said, in thing to pro pose the first resolution, he said no one could more sensibly feel the honour which had been conferred uopn him in being asked to do so, for he knew that in the community among which they were there were thousands and tens of thousands who were most anxious to raise their voices in favour of the persecuted Jews.

LIFE DEPARTMENT. While this Society enables a person to provide for his family after his death, it also affords the power of snaking provision for himself during life, by granting annuities, either immediate, deferred, or survivorship. Every member assured for the whole term of life, whose policy shall have existed three years, will be entitled to a pro. portional share of the quinquennial profits, which may be ap plied either by additions to their respective policies, or in re duction of the premiums thereafter to become payable. Assurers may pay their premiums in any way most suitable to their circumstances, either quarterly, half-yearly, or an nually, and one-half the premium may, if required, remain on terest at Is per cent. for five years, N.B.—A Committee of Directors, attended by a medical officer, sit at tha Company's house every Tuesday, from Twelve to Two o'clock, to grant Assurances, but one Director is daily in attendance to render every facility to those to whom despatch may be an object. For the convenience of those residing in the western district of London and its vicinity, assurances may be either effected or renewed with Mr. Joseph Strother, Agent, 3, Hornton street, Kensington.

CHURCH EXTENSION. •pROTESTANT SOCIETY FOR THE PROTECTION OF RELIGIOUS LIBERTY. At a MEETING of the COMMITTEE held at the King's Mead Tavern, in the Poultry, London, on July 3d, 1840, JOHN WILKS, Esq., in the Chair, It was Unanimously Resolved, 1. That this Committee, for many years connected with se veral hundred Congregations of Dissenters and Methodists in the United Kingdom, and corresponding with the friends and advocates r the rights of conscience 'and perfect religious freedom in different parts of the world, will not yield to any portion of their Countrymen, of any Denomination, in an in tense desire to promote " the means of Religious Worship and the Instruction of the People. 2. That, although they cherish such sentiments, they re garded with regret and aversion the motion made in the House of Commons on Tuesday last, by Sir Robert H. Inglis, for an Address to her Majesty in favour of a Grant from the Public Revenues for the further Erection and Endowment of Churches connected with the Episcopolian Establishment t—because, first, the application as to the amount desired was purposely vague and undefined; because, secondly, no adequate proofs had been supplied of the necessity for such Church Extension; because, thirdly, in the present state of the country, and with the incres.se of the public burdens, needfully imposed, but dif ficult to be borne any such grant would be peculiarly unsea sonable ; because, fourthly, the Funds of the Established Church, duly managed and applied, would meet any necessity that could be proved to exist ; and because, fifthly, and mainly, any Eng I s a u n e , h , , g ,n r a d n N t y a t l o , whichc,a Scotland d e majorityand f from o i o n f the Established Episcopalian Church, must, though reluctantly, contribute, would be unjust in principle—offensive in operation —and calculated to engender discord rather than peace, and to produce alienation from, rather than attachment to, true morals and the Christian faith. 3. That this Committee therefore rejoice in the rejection of that measure; and present their thanks to Lord John Russell, to Lord Viscount Melbourne, and to the other Mem bers of her Majesty's Government, for the course they have pursued in opposition to such proposal ; and assure them that they have thereby added a new claim to that confidence which they have acquired by their long, useful, and glorious efforts, for Catholic Emancipation—for the repeal of the Test and Corporation Acts,—for the scriptural education of the people on liberal principles—and generally in favour of reform and of civil and religious liberty. 4. That the acknowledgments of the Committee be alas offered to the MAJORITY in the House of Commons, by whose attendance and votes the rejection of the attempt was ob tained : and that such general union and constant vigilance throughout the empire be recommended, as may insure here after the rejection of any similar proposal, by a greater ma jority, and with yet more decisive success.
