- Mho TEN iNG EDITION. A BILL, ENTITLED «AN ACT FOR 1 NAVAL POWER OF ENGLAND FACILITATING THE ADMINISTRATION OF i AND FRANCE. JUSTICE IN THE COURT OF CHANCERY." (F-r , m Naty,l aad Military Gcz"tte.) Tae ffcctiv , force of tt, tirit,so Na.y is at present so great (consisting of 21 sail of the line, and no less than 34,000 men, to whom 2,000 men are now to be added), that unless the expenses of war arc to be entailed in time of peace, we should imagine it has attained its m , x i m um. The appearance of the crews, their activity in evolutionising (showing as great a superiority over our rivals as ever), and the improved armament, are all admitted as satisfactory ; hut the size of our ships is now made a point of attack. In fact, it is asserted, that in th's esp-ct they are far infer or to those of France, at:d that %,bilst our neighbours are making immense im provements in naval architecture, we continue to con struct and to employ inferior vessels, such as are not calculated to meet them in battle upon equal terms. A review of our naval history shows, that in almost every general action that has been fought our Lets have been inferior in point of force, as regards numbers of ships, guns, and men ; and it has always struck us as remarkable, that this country, asserting and maintaining by the valour of her seamen the dominion of the sea, should have for centuries persisted in building and em ploying vessels inferior in every respect to those of our rivals and enemies. Yet such is the fact, not only as regards the battles of fleets and squadrons, but of single ships, and up to a recent period this policy was con tinued. It is now, however, at an end. The ships built within these twenty years, and particularly those designed by the present Surveyor of the Navy, are im mensely superior, not only to any we possessed before, but to any possessed by our rivals. The inferior ships that still exist are employed for the purpose of being worn out ; and although they might, under circum• stances of sudden hostilities, be for a time opposed to the superior vessels of France or America—(the ships of Russia are not superior in size to our smallest)—we have not the slightest doubt that they will perform as well as they have done before, when we contended under greater odds, without the least apprehension of failure.

Whereas it would greatly contribute to the ai minishing of expense and delay in suits in the Court of , Chancery if the process, pleadings, and course of pro ceeding therein were in some respects altered, but this cannot be conveniently done otherwise than by rules or orders of the Judges of the said Court from time to time to be made, and doubts may arise as to the power of the said Judges to make such alterations as may be expedient, without the authority of Parliament : be it therefore t-naeted the Quee'n's Most Excellent Majesty, by and with the advice and consent of the Lords Spiritual and Temporal and Commons in this present Parliament assembled, and by the authority of the same, that the Lord Chancellor, with the advice and consent of the Master of the Rolls, and one or other of the Vice-Chancellors, or with the advice and consent of two of the Vice-Chancellors, may, and they arc hereby required, by any rules and orders to be from time to time by them made at any time within five years from the passing of this Act, to make such altera tions as to them may seem expedient in the form of writs and commissions, and the mode of sealing, issuing, ex ecuting, and returning the same, and also in the form and mode of filing bills, answers, depositions, affidavits, and other p r oceedings , and in the form and mo d e o f obtaining discovery by answer in writing or otherwise and generally, in the form and mode of pleading, and in the form and mode of taking or obtaining evidence, and in the fora: and mode of procee d ing before the Masters, and in the form and mode of entering and enrolling decrees, and of making and de livering copies of pleadings and other proceedings, and to make such regulations as to the allowance and pay ment of costs, and otherwise for carrying into effect the said alterations, as to them may seem proper ; and all such rules, orders, and regulations shall be laid before both Houses of Parliament, if Parliament be then sitting, immediately upon the making and issu ing of the same, or, if Parliament be not sitting, then within five days after the next meeting thereof ; and no such rule, order, or regulation shall have effect until six weeks after the same shall have been so laid before both Houses of Parliament, Parliament having been sitting during the whole of such six weeks-; and every rule, order, or regulation so made shall from and after the time aforesaid be binding and obligatory on the said Court, and on any Courts in which the de crees or orders of the said Court shall be reviewed by way of appeal, and be of like force and effect as if the pre% isions contained therein bad been expressly enacted by Parliament. 11. And be it enacted that, in the construction of this Act the expression " Lord Chancellor" shall mean also and include the Lord Chancellor, Lord' Keeper nod Lords Commissioners for the custody of the Great S of the United Kingdom for the time being. 111. And be it enacted that this Act may be altered, amended, or repealed during the present Session of Par- I ament: Surely the French ships at the Nile and at Trafalgar were as well appointed, and their crews better seasoned and experienced than those of the present day ; yet the majority of our 74-gun ships were as inferior to them in those actions as the 1,750 ton ships, Edinburgh, Ben bow, et hoc genus, are to the French ships Neptune, Jupiter, &c. However, we find Bellerophon* (the old), one of our ordinary seventy-fours, bearing a dis tinguished part in three general actions, Howe's, Nile, and Trafalgar, never shrinking from, but seeking out the largest opponent ; and on no one of these occasions had she more than 560 men and boys on board, whilst the crews of the French ships were numerically greater than at present. As to the reproach that the French are enlarging the size of their ships and improving their architecture, whilst we adhere to our old system, let the following facts speak for themselves : _ . On reference to the French official tables, we find that of the twenty-four line-of-battle-ships building,' but one first-rate (Le Valmy was ordered to be built at Brest in 1837), is of modern design ; the Ville de Fails and Louis XIV., building at Rochefort, having been commenced, the former so far back as 1807, the latter in 1811 ; and La Friedland, lately launched at Cherbourg, was laid down in 1813 ; of the second and third rates, two only were laid down so late as 1835—the majority of the others from ten to fifteen years ago. So much for the vaunted modern improve ments of French naval architecture. Of the vessels afloat, the most modern, L'Hercule, was built in 1836 ; one other, Le Genereux, in 1831 ; one, Le Suffren, in 1829 ; one, La Cozironne, in 1824 ; and one, Le Triton, in 1823. All the others are of date prior to 1822 ; and regarding the two three-deckers in commission, L'Ocean and Montebello, the former was built in 1790, the latter in 1812. How stands it with us ? Why, since the peace, we have launched thirteen first rates, and have five more building, two St. George and Waterloo) nearly ready for launching. We have launched sixteen second-rates, principally of the Canopus class, but three (Nile, Rodney, and Vanguard) very superior thereto ; and we have building twelve more of the latter description, one (London) ready for launching. So far from continuing to construct infe rior vessels, but one of the small class 74's (Carnatic) has been built for these twenty years ; for the Boscawen and Cumberland, although rated 70's, are equal in ton nage to Canopus, and calculated for heavier armament 4 The crews of the ships in the Mediterranean have lately been strengthened, and, should need be, they -could be made up to the full war complement even with out draughts from England by volunteers from mer chant ships, one principal advantage we enjoy over rival nations, owing to our extensive commerce. In proof of the ease and certainty with which crews can be increased abroad, we may just state that the ships on the Cape and India stations destined for the China expedition lately completed to the war complement without assistance from home. This brings us to a consideration of the maritime re sources of the two countries, those of France having been ostentatiously displayed by our Contemporary, the Times Journal. In estimating their tonnage, the French include all the vessels of whatever description (even to fishing boats) that they possess, and thus swell the aggre gate ; whereas our official returns comprise registered vessels only. If we adopted the same course, it is pro bable the return of our mercantile tonnage would be doubled ; for the principal portion of fishing vessels under 30 tons, and all our coasting craft of less than 15 tons, are worked under license. To show how the inclu. sion of these, which we reject, swells the French tonnage, it will be sufficient to state that, of 1.5,617 vessels enu merated in 1838 (the last official return we have seen), no less than 2,769 were under 60, and 10,735 under 30 tons !—leaving a residue of 2,113 vessels only above 60 tons ; and of the 10,735 under 80 tons, 5,849 were fishing-vessels, many of them open boats ; the average number of men and boys employed in them being 2:4000, or about four to each. The American tonnage is swelled up by the same means ; therefore these things should be taken into consideration when statists draw inferences from the official shipping returns of rival nations. The facts above stated, being from official documents, cannot be controverted, and deserve the attention of those who choose to investigate the relative state and inquiry, and of maritime nations in a pure spirit of and who will not pin their belief implicitly on the asser tions of writers whose constant purpose seems to be to exalt rival nations at the expense of their own country. • Vessels of the old Bellerophon class, forming the greatest portion of our 74-sun ships, were 1,600 tons. Tae French 74-gun ships captured during the war ave raged from 1,880 to 1.900 tons. The exact tonnage of Mont Blanc and Scipion, taken at Trafalgar, was 1,884 tons. BRITI`iII AUXILIARY LEGION. TO LIEUTENANT-GENERAL SIR DE LACY EVANS, M.P., K.C.8., &C., &C. SIR,—We, the undersigned officers of the late British A uxi;,ary Legion, and members of the committee of officers assembling at this house, beg leave, on behalf of ourselves and the two hundred officers who signed the petit'on to the House of Commons, which we had the honour to place in yoi.o. hands, to express our most gra' efol thanks for the trotible you took on that occa sion, but more particularly for the strenuous exertions and judgment you have exhibited recently at Madrid in effecting the arrangement for the payment of the L,-pion as concluded between the British and Spanish Governments, and set forth in your letter to our Chair mats on the 9th ult., believing, as we do most confidently, that that arrangement is as beneficial for the claimants, as under the existing circumstances of the finances of Spair, can be expected, or could be obtained. We also take the liberty of requesting that you will be nieased to convey to Mr. Aston, her Majesty s Ple nipotentiary at Madrid, our lively sense of the obliga tions we are under to his Excellency for his kind and energetic exertions on our behalf, and we likewise beg to assure, that we feel satisfied that her Majesty's Mi nisters will see that the arrangements entered into be tween the two Governments shall be exactly fulfilled, conscious, as we are, that they have taken advantage of the first moment when the close of the civil war in Spain enabled them to presa our claims with effect, and for which we feel duly grateful. We further beg to express our great regret, that now that an arrangement so satisfactory to us all has been completed, any persons should deem it ad visable to continue to agitate the question of our claims either in or out of Parliament, feeling that such agitation can only be injurious to the interests of the Legion. We have the honour to be, Sir, Your most obedient servants, GEORGE SERVICE, Assistant. Commissary-General, Chairman. HOR. BECKHAM, Lieut.-Cola 7th Regiment. W. MARTIN, Lieut.-Col. 2d Lancers.

The new Bellerophon class of 80's are about 2,100 tons; and the Vanguard class of 80'a, 2 600 tons. The 92-gun ships, London, Nile, and Rodney, about the same tonnage as the latter.

Western Districts ... 115 ...... 156 North Districts Central Districts 156 208 East Districts... ...... 197 ...... 239 South Districts STATE OF THE HOPS IN KENT MAIDSTONE.- The bine in this district, even in the very best grounds, comes out most reluctantly, and the mould is very rapidly increasing. The foggy mornings and hot sun arc likely still further to increase it. Taken upon the whole there is rather a deterioration than an improve ment within the last week. The accounts generally from all parts are worse. The hot weather has completely destroyed the prospect of any crop from the Weald of Kent and Sussex. Essex and the North Clays may be said to be quite gone. The East Kents have been getting daily worse for the last week, and the city grounds at Canterbury have a very unpro mising appearance. From the now certain annihilation of the growth, except from the Maidstone district, speculators are again disposed to come into the market, as the advance in price is by means adequate to the very limited crop. General opinion is in favour of there being far below an average crop, and report says that great prices have been offered to different growers for thzir crops. The hops at Brencheley are still in a hopeless state. They are as black as possible (with very few exceptions), and are deemed by competent judges irrecoverable here. In Ticeburst, Wadhurst, Mayfield. Burwash, and Et chingham, there has been no improvement, but, on the contrary, the bine is too much exhausted to 'uring what little" burr there is to maturity. In Goudhurst, Hawkhurst, Saleburat, Bodiam, Beck.. lev, Northiam, and Sandhurst parishes, the hops are very bad. The hops in Lambcrburst parish have made no progress during the last fortnight. Duty 45,0001., but if all other districts are like ours, 20,0001. would be nearer the mark. Maidstone Gazette. Total 651 1,013 It is stated that under the term Metropolis are com prised the 32 districts herein mentioned, which include the City of London within and without the walls, the City and Liberties of Westminster, the out parishes within the bills of mortality—and the parishes of St. Marylebone ; St. Pancras ; Kensington ; Fulham ; Hammersmith (Chapelry) ; St. Luke, Chelsea; Paddington; St. Mary, Stoke Newington - St. Leonard, Bromley ; St. Mary- Le bow ; Camberwell% Greenwich ; St. Nicholas and St. Paul, Deptford; and Woolwich. The population as:enu merated in 1831 was 1,494,890. The weekly average for was obtained by dividing the deaths registered in that year by 52. In comparing it with the weekly deaths in 1540, it roust be borne in mind that the metropolis in creases newly two per cent. annually ; and that, if the population had been the same in 1838 as in 1840, the deaths wank / lave been 1-27th part more numerous.

For several days past the bu lletin has reported her Royal Highness to have been going on more favourably, but on our repo r ter making inquiries yesercl ay, the sullioined bulletin of the physicians was handed to him Princess Augusta has not passed a good night, and her Roy al Highness is much the same as yesterday ;" which is certainly l ess favourable. Their Roy al Hi g h nesses the Duke of Cam bridge, Duchess o f Gloucester, and the other membe rs of the Royal Family daily visit her Royal Highness; and her Maje s t y' and Prince Albert h ave throu g hout her Ro y al Hi g hness 's ill nuss sent a royal messenger to make inquiries after the health of the Princess. THE BLUE DEVIL AND THE BAGPIPES.-- Burns, in his celebrated poem of Tam O'Chanter, describes the old gentleman in black to be so partial to the music of the bagpipes; that he even learnt to play upon them; but from what occurred its the front of our office on Monday afternoon la t, the blue ones have a most dreadful hatred to them, for no sooner has a poor Scotchman got a few bawbees and " screwed his pipes and gar't them skirl, the "Campbell's are coming," than he was ordered off by one of the blue devils, to the great mortification of those who were enjoying the music, and, at the same time, depriving the piper from making an honest penny. We wonder when such unnecessary and uncalled for interference will end.—Northern Liberator. SAILING O F THE PRESIDENT._The interest excited by the sailing of steamers for the western shores of the Atlantic has not decreased. The pier-heads were crowded to 7 day by multitud es of well dressed persons of both sexes to witness the departure of the President—the largest steam ship in the world—for the city of New York. At thirteen minutes past two o'clock the vessel, by the firing of r uns, announced her departure, and anxiety t o see her was raised ' to th e greatest ex citement. She mo ve d gracefully and slowly down the river from the Sloyne, where she was stationed, the decks crowded with passengers and visitors, and the whole of the crew taking a great interest in the scene. About halt-p ast two the Presi dent passed the Rock, and was soon after out of sight. The President carries out forty. n i ne passengers.—Liverpool Chronicle. 39, ALBEMARLE-STREET,PICCADILLY, AND No. 76, Kseic WILLIAM DEAFNESS AND DEFECTIVE STIZT VISION. — AN A K g O r r ea E te N r G p L r A o N o . off the value of the Messrs. S. and B. Solomons' Invisible Ope rative Voice Conductor, and newly-invented Spectacle Lenses, cannot be addlced than the circumstance of the many thou sands of individuals who have obtained the greatest benefit and instant relief, and the constant immense demand there is for them, and the patronage they have and daily continue to receive. The Messrs. S. and B. Solomons disclaim all con nexion with persons of the same name and the sale of amber spectacles; the pernicious use of amber spectacles being now well known to the public, and the vendor being aware of it, ; he has therefore altered their name, by leaving out the word " amber," a n d ca lli ng them "Patent Spectacles." Dr. Andrew Ure, Esq., M.D., F.R.

NEW ENGINE OF WAR.—M. Billot has in vented a machine which discharges 2,000 balls, of half a pound each, every minute, or 120,000 per hour without cessation. Its action may be continued, or arrested, at the will of the party in charge of it. The discharge takes place at four different and may be directed at as many objects, or united poin ts, against ore. The machine weighs about 851b5., and its range is about 3,280 feet ; but, if one were constructed of about 1 cwt., its range would be quadrupled. The use of the machine doe s not depend upou gunpowder , air, or spring,as a motive power. THE SUN, LONDON, THURSDAY, AUGUST 6, 1840. PERSECUTION OF THE JE WS IN THE EAST. ' TRANt , LATION of •r HEBREVr LETTER wri:ten b) ABULAFIA, father of the individual W ,o is ruportc,, by M. Pieritz to have embraced Mahomneedanism • whilst under torture. " Concerning the calumnies at Damascus, a plot was batched, and they agreed to send away a priest, who belonged to the French quarter, in order to accuse us of having murdered him. " They alleged-Ist, That the priest entered the Jlws' street the day he was missing (die street was a thoroughfare), and was not seen to leave it. " The Jews answered, that he left the street certainly on she other side—but this would not satisfy them. " Toe Jews assembled in synagogue, and decreed, under pain of excommunication, that any one who knew of or had seen the priest, should declare it. " A Jew who feared God, answered directly, that he was a dealer in tobacco, and lived in the suburbs of the city, one hour's distance frdm the Jews' quarter, and near to dusk he saw the priest and his servant leaving the city, passing near him toward: the fields ; and he said to the servant of the priest, ' Come here, and buy some tobacco, as you usually do.' " The servant answered, ' I am busy now : another time I will.' " This evidence reached the French consul, who im mediately caused this Jew to be scourged till he ex pired (God will avenge him), so that he should not re late this, lest it should be proved that he (the priest) left the city that night. " He also got hold of a prisoner (a Turk), who was in prison for a sum of money due to the Pacba, and who, to get himself out of prison, offered to prove the Jews guilty, so that they would set him free. " This Turk had already tried to get the money of a Jew named David Arari, under threat that if he did not give it he would accuse him of murder. " Arari thought that if he did give it, it would be a proof of guilt, and refused to give him anything. " Then this Turk seized a Jewish barber, who had already been severely tortured, and said to him, ' They will torture you more and more ; why should you die ? Say David Arari invited you to his house to kill him (the priest), and then you will receive money and honours.' And he, by these means and by threats, persuaded him till he was com pelled to say that David Arari called him to his house, and he found there six others of the chief men of the city, and David said to him, ' Come here and kill this priest,' who was bound before him, and they paid him his reward. " Now, one of the seven persons denounced by the barber as being of those present at the murder with Arari, was a good and upright man named Joseph Leniado : they seized and imprisoned him. " He answered, ' On the very night the barber states that I was at David Arari's house, I have two Christian witnesses that were with me the whole night, and I never left them. They were travellers lodging at my house, and left two days after for their own city.' " But these' wicked accusers would not wait till the witnesses arrived, although a courier was sent to fetch them, to have their evidence. But they smote and scourged him till he died under their hands. Oh Lord, behold thy servant's blood poured out, and avenge it on them ! " All this was done that the two witnesses might not appear, and falsify the barber's evidence. " This suborner above named, suborned and en ticed, with promises and threats, the servant of David Arari to confirm the barber's statement ; and they scourged and punished their victims with blows, and fire, and water. " They then began to search the houses, search after search, hut they found nothing. Now the Jews were very tearful lest some bones should be brought and disposed in some Jewish premises, and as they suspected so it was, for the Jes s told the watchman who watched in the Jews' quarter, that he should be vigilant to look to this, and he, therefore looked well after all the Christian passen gers that went near the conduits. When the Chris tians saw that this watchman hindered them from their evil purpose, they imprisoned him, and smote him til he died under the rod. See, oh Lord, and behold thy servant's blood poured out l " That night they did this wickedness, they deposited bones in the conduits (there being no Jewish watchman), and on the morrow they went and searched this conduit and found the old bones, and caused a great cry, and most of the physicians agreed that they were the bones of quadrupeds ; but one physician doubted, and said, ' Per haps they are human bones, but they are old.' This is evi dent : they could not accomplish their wicked purpose till they had murdered the watchman ; and it is fully be lieved by many persons that they got the priest to go away in order to accuse the Jews, and when the truth and a fair trial is bad, all will be proved. I will no longer dwell on this matter, but will relate what has to occurred te p s a te o tliie D o a r m de a r sc o u f s, the Pa c ha aicilr should d om n m o T o d n A ,e l r i torture or question the Jews ; and this he has obeyed. ) " But as this Pacha of Damascus has been the in dividual through whose authority the evil has been per petrated, he endeavours to sustain the falsehood by artifice. " And as soon as the edict came from Egypt, the Christians, all being incited by their leaders, rose against the Jews with reproaches, smiting both men and women with their fists. They blasphemed our holy law in the streets and market-places, took from our synagogues the Taleth* and Tephlin, and put them on the dogs, and spoke against the holy Talmud. " Till at last the consuls at Damascus wrote the Pacha, ' Why do these proceedings go on, and you be silent ?' He answered, ' How can I oppose such a mul titude of Christians ?—I have nF, power.' When the consuls wrote this answer to the Consul-general Neomsi at Alexandria, he made it known to Mohammed Ali, who decreed that no Christian should henceforth molest a Jew. " But the truth is, the Pacha here of Damascus is an enemy of the Jews, otherwise he would not have answered thus when called on for protection ; for all the Christians arc considered by him as dogs, but he sets them on, and they depend on him, and do as they think fit in this matter. " Such is their enmity, that one night they made a Christian strong man drink wine, and armed him and sent him to the Jews' quarter. He went into one court yard quite furious, with a drawn sword in his hand, and said, • I come to kill many Jews, who are all blasphe mers and villains.' The Jews cried bitterly for help. The guards who patrolled the city heard it, and the cry of murder ; they were going to seize him, but he said I saw this Christian assaulting you ; it is not my fault ; the French Consul, the associate of the Governor of the city, cent me.' " They then sent him away free, and the intention of this troubler of Israel, this Consul Beaudin, through whose means all this affair was brought about, is, that the Jews should kill this Christian, and be accused of another crime. " Atter this the Christians went to an old cemetery, which belonged to the Jews since A.M. 5,408, and violated the graves, and strewed about the bones, and took one of their corpses there and buried it. The Jews bitterly complained of this, but received no re dress. They went away with anguish of soul. " But still the Paella is inciting the accused to sign a confession to what they had admitted under torture, for he tells them he is certain they killed the friar. But (hey all answer, ' All that which we have spoken and confessed was in consequence of the blows and and tortures, and far be it from us to commit murder.' Aad they asked my son (who is considered as a Ma hommedan, which God forbid) ' What do you say re specting this matter ?—You have already admitted you killed him.' " He answered, and said, We Jews neither have murdered, nor do we murder any one, and blood is an abomination and horror to us, and all we have confessed was only to escape torture.' " The Pacha answered, ' Why do you include your self among the Jews—you belong to us.' " My son answered, I am a Jew, the son of a Jew, and all that I have said has been for fear and dread of the cruel treatments you inflicted on me ; and I en treated of you to kill me, to be released from your bands ; and through pain have the.evil words come from my mouth.' " And of the Haham, the chief Rabbi of the city, he requested him to sign the confession, saying, You surely killed him.' (Here follows the answer of the rabbi, refusing to confess to a falsehood, which was published in the ex tracts which appeared in 'Jibe Sun.) " The Pacha then said, At least sign to this, that by your law the prorerty of the Gentiles is allowed to you.' " The Rabbi answered, ' It is false.' n f : r m T e h P d e ) i a t c is a said Habakkuk, ha Talmud k uk, H He saw (saaswl andam spoiled the nations.' " The Rabbi said,' This verse refers to the heathen, idelators, and the despoiling the Gentile is a heinous " They then were taken back to prison, till the or der of the Pacha arrives, as to where and before whom they are to be tried. " But those who are still alive are mutilated, as they suffered tortures of a horribl e nature, and they were so injured that they were all like the dead, from the ex cruciating anguish. " 0 thou jealous and aven ge f u l G o d, pour out thy wra th on those evil doers. " Now we have heard the Consul-General of France in Alexandria, has sent his vice-consul to Damascus, at the request of his Government, to investigate this mat ter ; but they have written from thence that this man is also an enemy of the Jews, and they fear there th a t b e will incline to the e vil practices of the French c onsu l, and to the leaders of the Christians in Damascus ; a n d they write thence thate (Alexandria) . a)the that confessions Aloh a o e f d Ali had already y advised the Jews, and that all that has been written against them tillAhis day, are void, and investigation is to be renewed without any torture whatever. And we also hear that the English Consul there ha received an order from his Government that he should go himself to Damascus to try this matter ; and they ' wrote also that nearly all the Consuls are friends of the Jews, except the French, who is still an enemy ; and the advice of many of the heads here is, that I should myself go to Paris to de mand that the case should be tried by them, and to demand reparation for the blood of the murdered men that have been tortured, and for those that they have smitten, men and women, and for those that the) have despoiled. But truly lam feeble and aged, and I wish to know the issue of the proceedings of those persans who are to investigate, and then I shall know how to proceed. My heart bleeds for this trouble, and I am old , and all the great of the city (Constantinople) leave their propeity and home for the deliverance of Israel. In the affair of Rhodes they do their best, with the help cf God, and with the assistance of the powers of Israel, and the help of Messrs. Rothschilds, judgment has been pronounced, in truth, in the Turkish courts here ; and it is proved that it is all false and a calumny. And now the Jews demand justice cn their murderers and despoilers for those that died under torture, and for the women that they afflicted, and for 150,000 piastres damages they suffered in the affair ; and now they are trying to discover who is to remunerate them—whether the French Consul, who is stated to have been the chief instigator, or the Pacha of Rhodes, who decreed all the evil. At all events, we trust that both will be displaced, in order that the Jews snail have peace, for they are all a holy congregation fearing God. " A letter has been received from the estimable as sembly of London (God preserve it), in answer to the appeal made by us, and they write us that they will, with all their might and main, assist their brethren ; and they have applied to the Government, and no doubt thereupon it proceeds that the English Consul goes to Damascus to try this matter, and through him the Consul of Rhodes will be displaced, so that the wicked may cease from troubling, and not afflict any more. " But I am now going to Alexandria to see the end of this affair, and to assist my son. Look down and behold if there are any wounds like our wounds, ye chief men among the mighty, in the help of God, and may the Lord fight for you, and return this trouble to our enemies ; an d ma y f ear an d d read pursue those who rise up against us.

EXTRACT OF A LETEER DATED GIBRALTAR, 16TH JULY, 1840, ACCOMPANYING THE ANNEXED DOCUMENT. " 1 send you a document which I consider curious. It is a translation of a circular recently issued by Abd el-Kader, giving some account of himself and his pro ceedings. It is not dated either as to time or place, as you will see ; but the original reached this on the 13th, by express, via Fez, in thirteen days, from Abd el-Kader's camp. This said original, sealed with Abd-el-Kader's own seal, equivalent to ur sign -manual, I saw myself in the hands of a most respectable Moor, and from it I made the trans ation in this way. The address itself is written in pure Arabic, very different from and much more refined than the patois generally spoken by the Moors. The Moor, who is a scholar, first put it into this patois to Balenzi who was with him, Balenzi into Spanish, and I into English, all of us, by my direction, stickie as near to a literal translation as possible. You may, I think, safely rely on the genuineness of the document itself, as well as the general fidelity of the translation, and I dare say it Ilia be acceptable, as I do not suppose it will find its way to you through France, and it is as recent as any news from the Moorish side of the question can be. " IN TIIE NAME OF GOD OMNIPOTENT. _ _ " Official n,ws given by me, the King of the Moors, and beloved of the Moors, Haggi Abd-el-Kader (whom God assist), to all those who arc under the French domi nion, Christians, Moors, and Jews. And this is what I am about to tell you, to notify that it is necessary that you look well at this news and understand it as is proper, and you will Judge if I am, in the right in what I. am going to say. 1. The son of the King of France began with tree when he passed through my lands without my orders, and he showed forged letters in my name, and delivered them to his subjects, that they might show them to the Arabs. And they say in the said is tters th•it I have given orders to the Bedouins not to fight, and to let them pass. He also said to the Bedouins, I have an order from the King, Abd-el-Kader, that you should let me pass, and not molest me.' Here are his letters. When the Bedouins saw my letters, they did not molest him in any way, and he passed the same as if he had been a thief ; and when he arrived at Algiers he began to say with falsehood, The Arabs are all in my favour from Constantina to Algiers,' and when I found out that he was a traitor, I then began to war with him, and I ordered my subjects, who were mounted, that they should repair to a place called Hairi Tebt ; and I gave an order that all they should meet they should take, and the people were looking on from the terraces of the houses ; and I gave orders to all the lands where I rule to empty them all, and not to leave a living person in them, seeing that we do not want towns. Let the French enter or not, it matters little to me, the King of the Arabs. We want only horses and camels. We have nothing to burden us, and God all powerful has favoured me from the gate of Aida to the territory near Tunis, and, thanks to God, all are under my orders ; and what the son of the King of France said, that the Arabs were in his favour,' is false, seeing that ray Mussulmans are loyal and true, and are all under my rule ; and I will soon be with you, and be among the French : who says he is a mai, let him come out with me on the -field of battle. And may the blessed God save .' 2.

ACQUITTAL or MasoN.—John Wilkinson, Andrew Guthrie, Edward Coulson, Thomas Brown, William t.cplienson, and John Tweedie, appeared to the recog nizAnces into which they had entered to take their trial upon an indictment then found against them for offences connected with Chartism, and severally withdrew their former pleas, and pleaded guilty, and were permitted to depart on entering into their own recognizances to keep the peace for two years. _ Henry Mills, Thomas Daglish, Thomas Monaghan, William Thomason, Thomas Devyer, and James Ayre, indicted for similar offences, were severally called on their recognizances, and not appearing their recognizanccs were ordered to be estreated. Mr. LUSH applied to the Court on the part of the bail of Mr. Devyer to have their recognizance discharged on the ground that Devyer, in January last, had given them leg bail, and gone to America without their knowledge, notwithstanding every endeavour on their part to recover so soon as his flight was known They at length traced him to Liverpool a day too late the ship having sailed just as they arrived. His LORDSIIIP said that he must estreat the recog nizances, and if the Treasury thought fit, on a repre sentation of the circumstances of the case, to forego the forfeiture, they could do so. Robert Blakey was also called. Mr. Watson applied to have his trial postponed on an affidavit of a medical gentleman in London, which was dated the 30th of July, and stated that the de fendant had been suddenly attacked by a violent bowel complaint, which would render him incompetent to travel for some days, he being then residing in Surrey. His LORDSHIP said he must give credit to the affi davit of the medical gentleman, and would postpone the trial, and direct the recognizances to be respited till the next assizes. Francis Hume and Richard Marsden were then called, and appeared. John Mason, who, in default of bail, had been in pri son, was then called upon to plead to an indictment which charged him with having uttered seditious words, and conspired to incite the people to riot, tumult, and disobedience of the laws, at a meeting held in Newcas tle on the 20th January last, and pleaded not guilty. The defendant conducted his own case. It appeared from the testimony of a reporter for the T . yize Mercury, that on the 20th of January last he went to the New Lecture Rooms, in Nelson -street, in this town, to attend a public meeting, which had been called upon the subject of petitioning the Throne for a remission of the sentence of the Welsh patriots, Frost, Jones, and Williams, who had been convicted of high treason at Newport. About 1,500 persons were present. The place has seats for 1,000. James Ayre and the defendant were there. Ayre proposed that a Mr. Carlton should take the chair, which he immediately did with out any regular voting of him into it, and addressed the meeting. He said that the meeting had been convened for the purpose of petition ing to save their friends, the Welsh patriots, the nature of whose case the Chairman explained to the meeting. Ayre next rose and spoke, and amongst other things said, " I will tell you candidly, that, rather than suffer Frost to be sacrificed by so base, bloody, and detestable a set, I will see one universal blaze from one end of the country to the other." This was followed by cheers. He continued, " I want not your cheers ; I have heard your cheers often enough. I want something better than that." Speaking of the Queen's then projected wedding, he said, " that either Frost should be saved or the wedding should be put off. They had only to let the Queen know that, and he would be pardoned. If Frost was not pardoned, that bridal day might be a melancholy one for the fate of this country," with other expressions of a like kind. The defendant Mason followed. He said the life of Frost was in danger, and the death of Frost would be the golden key to take the life of every patriot in the country. There was one step that could be taken, and if there were 20,000,000 times more opposed to them than there were they could not prevent it. He then talked about the Queen's marriage, and said he would rather see Lord Melbourne and Prince Albert hanged (the witness thought the word was hanged, but there was a noise at the time, and he was not sure of it,) than Frost should suffer. He then described the nature of the execution of persons committed for high treason. They were to be hung, their bodies cut into four quarters, and which might be sent to the four quarters of the em pire. They might see one quarter sticking upon St. Nicholas's Church, but they would prevent it. He re lated a long anecdote of some executions being pre vented in Jamaica by a threat to burn down the prin cipal street in the town. He knew he should be on his trial for this speech within a month, but he cared not. He would tell them what the Constitution was, and Frost should be saved. On cross-examination the witness said he did not take every word of the speech. He was an unwilling witness. He did not like, because he was in the per formance of his duty as a reporter, to be called as a witness. It got him a great deal of ill-will ;at least, he thought it was calculated to do so. The defendant then addressed the Jury in his de fence, and went ably into a discussion of the consti tution of the country, Magna Charta, and the rights of the subject, the condition of the poor, and read the whole of the draft of an intended Bill which embodied the People's Charter, the reading of which occupied nearly two hours, and then appealed to the Jury if there was any thing in it unconstitutional, or for which he ought to be found guilty. The Learned Judge, in summing up the case, said that the question was not so much whether the Charter was a lawful obj:ct, as whether the defendant had not sought that object by unlawful means. He then went through the evidence, and the Jury, after a short consi deration, returned a verdict of Not Guilty. The announcement of the verdict was followed by loud cheers in the Court, which were with difficulty suppressed. Nothing of interest occurred in the civil Court to-day. HOME CIRCUIT—GUILDFORD, Aua. 5. CIVIL SIDE. (Before Lord ABINGER and a Common Jury.) PUNTER V. LORD GRANTLEY AND ANOTHER. This was an action of trespass brought by the plain tiff, a labouring man, who sued in forma pauperis, against the Right Hon. Lord Grant!ey, a Magistrate for the County of Surrey, and the circumstances connected with it hAve created a very great sensation throughout the whole county. The cause was commenced on day, and after lasting several hours, was adjourned until this morning, and was not concluded until an advanced period of this day. Mr. Sergeant Shea, Mr. Petersdorff, and Mr. Locke were for the plaintiff, Mr. Thesiger, Mr. Platt, and Mr. Chambers were engaged on behalf of the defendant. The declaration charged that the defendant, the Right Hon. Fletcher, Lord Grantley, with other persons, with force and arms, broke and entered a cottage below , - ing to the plaintiff, end caused a groat noise and destruction, and cfterwards pulled it down and de stroyed the said ca . ttage and the chattels therein, and rejected and expelled the plaintiff from the cot tage, with his family, and compelled them to remove to the open highway without shelter, and exposed to the inclemency of the weather, whereby the plaintiff was compelled to apply for relief, and to go into the workhouse, &c. The defendants pleaded not guilty, and a variety of other pleas. The damages were laid at 5001. Mr. Sergeant SHEE addressed the Jury and said he had to lay before them the details of what he considered to be a most grievous outrage, committed by the defen dan.s upon the property of the plaintiff, and for which he was fully entitled to ample damages at the hands of the Jury. The plaintiff in this case was a very poor man ; so poor, that it was only by the merciful consi deration of the law of England that he was enabled that day to appear before the Jury, and he appeared before them as a pauper. The Learned Counsel then proceeded to detail the circumstances out of which the proceeding arose. He said that the plaintiff and his family had, for nearly fifty yeats, been in possession of a cottage and some land at Wonersh, adjoining the estate of the Noble Lord, and during the whole of that long period they had enjoyed the possession of the pro perty uninterruptedly, and had never paid any rent to any p ers on, neither bad any been demanded from them. Inthe commencement of the present year, the defend ant, from some reason or other, had assumed a title to the cottage and land, and summoned the plantiff before a magisti ate, and the extraordinary proceeding was taken of granting a warrant under the Recovery of Tene ments Act for the delivery of the possession of the cot tage to the defendant ; and on April 14, by the defend ant's orders, several men proceeded to the cottage, and they then, by force, removed the plaintiff, and his wife, and family ; and in spite of their remonstrances they threw all th e f urn i ture i nto the road, damaged, and de stroyed a great deal of it, and then demolished the cottage entirely, and dug up the foundation of it. in consequence of this outrageous proceeding the plaintiff and his family were compelled to wander about for two nights with his children, and he at length found a refuge only in t!.e Union Workhouse. It was for this wanton outrage that the plaintiff sought for recom pense at the hands of the defendant. The latter was a nobleman of high rank and great fortune, but he was sure that these advantages would have no weight in the minds of the jury, but that they would deal equal jus tice to the rich and the poor man. 'File following evidence was then adduced Mary Punter deposed that she was the daughter of the plaintiff, and lived with him and the rest of the family at the cottage in question, in Norent-lane, in the parish of Woncrsh, prior to the 14th of April. On that day several men, whom she knew as being in the employ of Lord Grantley, came to the house and knocked at the door. They did not answer the knock, and the men then forced the door in, and they all entered and began to pull the things about, and told the witness and her mother that they must go out. The men put all the furniture out into the garden, and a tea-cup and saucer were broken. Her fatter came home while the men were there, and the famity were all compelled to be out during the night upon the lawn, and when her father wanted to go into the house they would not let him. The next morning the men began to pull the house down, and they did not stop until it was completely down to the ground, and they then dug up the garden. The family had to remain in the fields during the whole of the next night ; and the union doctor afterwards saw her father, and the family were all admitted to the Union Workhouse. Her father was very ill afterwards, and did not return to his work for two months. Cross-examined—Witness had been in the workhouse before. They could not have got in in the n;ght ; they were turned out of the cottage because they had no order of admiEsion. Thomas Punter, a brother of the plaintiff, proved that his father occupied the cottage in question forty eight years ago. He afterwards died in the workhouse. After his death witness's mother occupied the cottage, and she, at her death, gave it to the plaintiff. They never paid any rent for it. The late Lord Grantley used frequently to come to the cottage during his father's lifetime. Cross-examined—The old Lord Grantley was very good to the family. He never heard that the cottage had been sold by the parish to Lord Grantley. Mr. John Sparkes, a farmer at Wonersh, proved that it had always been considered that the cottage in ques tion was nat. on Lord Grantley's manor. He had some conversation with Lord Grantley a short time ago, and he told him that he was always crossing him, and that he had advanced money to that fellow Punter to go to law with him. Witness had never advanced any money to the plaintiff, either directly or indirectly. A paper was then produced and identified as having been written by the plaintiff's mother, by which she gave him the cottage and its contents. Another witness proved that all the materials of the cottage were conveyed to Lord Grantley's wood-yard. This was the case for the plaintiff. Mr. THESIGER then addressed the Jury, and said, that notwithstanding the manner in which his learned friend had opened this case, he had no doubt that he should be able to satisfy the Jury that Lord Grantley had done no more than he was legally authorised to do, and that there was no pretence for accusing him of having committed a grievous and unnecessary outrage. Lord Grantley was a nobleman of high character and honour, and all who knew him were aware that he was incapable of committing an outrage against the rights or property of any poor man. The fact was, that al though the plaintiff and his family had certainly lived in the cottage, a great number of years, they had no legal title to it whatever, and it was only through the considerate kindness of Lord Grantley's father that they were permitted to do so. The plaintiff, however, had thought fit to set up a title to the cottage, and had bearded Lord Grantley, and defied him to remove him, and his Lordship then took the only proper course, under such circumstances, to apply to the Bench of Magistrates ; and the defendant was called up, under a recent Act of Parliament, to show by what right he claimed to hold possession of the cottage, and after a full inquiry, and hearing the proofs produced by Lord Grantley, the Bench decided that the plaintiff had no right to the property, and they issued their warrant for the expulsion of the plaintiff from the cottage if he did not consent to give up peaceable pos session. Lord Grantley had acted most cautiously in the matter, and what he did was done under the sanc tion of the law, and this was all that could be fairly and calmly alleged against him. The Learned Counsel then proceeded to enter at some length into the circumstances of the occupation of the cottage by the Punter family, and said that from the very commencement it was merely a permis sive occupation by Lord Grantley and his father. The defendant and his family had been in the receipt of parochial relief, and he should show that the cottage in question had been purchased by the late Lord Grant ley, of the parish of Wonersh, and that he had always exercised control over it, by making repairs, &c., and that rent had been demanded of the defendant by Lord Grantley, and that he had requested the parish to pay it for him. He submitted to the Jury that the plaintiff under any circumstances had no right to the property, because he was not the eldest son, and it did not there fore descend to him from his father and mother, supposing their title to have been a good one. Under all the circumstances, he had no doubt he should be able to satisfy the Jury that the plaintiff had no right whatever to the property, and he should also be able to show them that the cottage in question really belonged to Lord Grantley, and that he was justified in ejecting the plaintiff from it. A number of witnesses were then called ; and from their evidence it appeared that repairs to the cottage in qaestion had been ordered, and paid for, by the pre sent Lord Grantley and his father. It also ap peared that the latter had told the mother of the plaintiff that he would allow her to live in the cottage rent tree as long as she lived. It was also proved that upon another:occasion the present Lord Grantley had cut down a tree, and had it removed, and that the plaintiff offered no objection to this being done. It was also shown that the present Lord Grantley had demanded rent of the plaintiff for the cottage, and that he did not object to the claim, but said he was too poor to pay it, and begged the parish to pay the rent for him ; and they consented to do so, on account of his poverty. It was also proved that, in the year 1792, by the parish books, it appeared that a cottage, in the lane mentioned, had been sold by the parish ; but this portion of the de fendant's case was not clearly established. Another witness proved that the plaintiff had told him that he thought of cutting down some trees upon the land, but he was afraid to do so, for fear he should " burn his fingers." This was the case for the defendant. Mr. Sergeant SHEA replied, and contended that the case for the plaintiff had not been at all shaken by the evidence adduced on behalf of Lord Grantley, and that the Jury ought to give him compensation or damages for the outrage that been committed upon him. Lord ABINGER summed up, and told the Jury there were several questions for their consideration. In the first place, they would have to consider whether the plaintiff had established a title to the property in ques tion. Secondly, they would say whether they thought Lord Grantley had failed in making out a title. As regarded the general issue they must find for the plain tiff, because it could not be denied that the premises had been broken ; but if their considered the defendant had a good title, in that case they would . give ne da mages. In his opinion the plaintiff had failed altogether in proving any title to the premises, for suppo s i ng t h at his father and mother had a legal right to them, he, as the second son, could not claim them. If they con sidered the defendaat had no title to the property, then they would find for the plaintiff, with such reasonable damages as the justice of the case required at their hands. The Jury having delibetated for some time, returned a verdict for the plaintiff—Damages, 2501. Lord ABINGER said he hoped the Jury understood the question which had been submitted, because, if their verdict was founded upon an erroneous impression, it might be set aside. The foreman of the Jury having consulted with the other jurymen, said, " We think the title of the plain tiff's family is made out ; it has run so long against Lord Grantley's family that he has no claim to the pro perty." CURIOUS CASE OF FORGERY. On Friday, John Brunson Avery was taken before the Gloucester Magistrates, charged with forging the attestation of a certain deed for the purpose of defraud ing George Cooke,.9f Gloucester; of the sum of 2001. The prisoner was fotind guilty of a similar offence at the summer assizes for this county, in 1838, when he was sentenced to two years' imprisonment ; on the expiration of which time, a few days ago, he was again taken into custody on the present charge. The offence is alleged to have been committed under peculiar circumstances, the prisoner having, it is said, persuaded the prosecuter to advance him the said 2001. upon the security of some land with which the prisoner was not in the slightest de gree connected, though he actually took the prosecutor and an attorney over the land in question, for the purpose of their inspecting it, and satisfying themselves that it was of sufficient value to cover the mortgage he pro-- posed to raise upon it. Mr. John Hulls, attorney, of Gloucester, stated, that in the early part of 1838, the prisoner came to him, and said that he was a baker re siding at Charlton Kings, and that he wanted to raise 3001. on security of some land at Quennington. Wit ness knew that Mr. Cooke had some money which he wished to put out, and it was arranged that witness and Mr. Cooke should meet the prisoner Avery at Ciren cester, and go from there to view the land and see if it was adequate security. The journey was accordingly made, and the prisoner pointed out three pieces of land—two small pieces and a large piece. He said the large piece was his own, and that he had mortgaged it for 3001. ; and that the two smaller pieces belonged to his brother, who was willing to mortgage them in his behalf. In two or three days after, he called at witness's office in Gloucet ter, and desired witness to prepare a conveyance of these lands, stating that his brother had agreed to part with them to him on certain conditions which had been agreed upon between them. Mr. Hulls prepared the conveyance, and when it was engrossed, prisoner called and took it away to get it executed. He subsequently returned with it, when it purported to be signed by William Avery, and to he attested by Thomas Fowler, attorney, of Eastleach • and upon the faith of that docu ment the prosecutor advanced 2001. Soon afterwards the prisoner was apprehended upon another charge, when inquiries were made, and no such person as the attesting attorney, " Thomas Fowler," could be dis covered, nor had the prisoner any properly at all in the land which he had thus mortgaged. The prisoner, at the conclusion of the examination, was fully committed for trial at the ensuing Sessions.—Cheltenhain Journal. EVENING EDITION. CORN AVERAGES.
