Tae Jews' HOSPITAL.—The governors and sub-
strikers to this institction held their anniversary dinner on
Tuesday at the London Tavern, F. li. Gioldsmid, Esq., in the
chair, in the absence of the Duke of Cambridge. The chair.
man, in giving the toast of the evening, alluded to one fact
which, more than aught else, entitled the Jews Hospital to
support. The difference between the Christian and the
Jewish Sabbath would of course present almost ir.surmuunt•
able difficulties to Jewish youths becoming apprentices to
any but Jewish tradesmen. To remedy this difficulty all
kinds of trades were taught in the establishment, and that in
their minutest details. In the early part of the evening the
children entered the room, the greater proportion of the
boy. bearing in their hands various articles, such as ornamental
furniture, and shoes and boots of their own manufacture,
the execution of which fully justified the cha eman'a obese-
vation as to the accuracy with which the various trades were
taught. The statement of accounts showed that the receipts
of the past year amounted to 3,2871. 148. 4d.. of which 2001.
proceeded from the year's subscriptions, 6481. from dona-
tions, 1,3881. from dividends on stock, and 1,0001. from three
different loans, namely, 3001. from the London and West-
minster Bank, 2001. from A. Joseph and L. Myers, Esqrs.,
treasurers, and 6001. from Sir Anthony de Rothschild, Bart.
The expenditure had been 3,1691. 13e. 6d., out of which the
loans from the Lonuon and Westminster Bank and from the
treasurers had been repaid. The balance remaining was
1181. Os. 10d. The subscriptions during the evening
amounted to 4611.

There was an average amount of business, but prices gave
way considerably, owing to the unfavourable news, per tele-

accounts, received by the Express, of the heavy failures in
India.

BIRMINGHAM SALES, MAT 21.
The market wu languid, and prices generally a shade
lower. There is apparently so little disposition hereabouts,
at least, to speculate in shares just now that prices do not
seem likely to move upward at present.

CORN. - BARNSLEY, May 24.—Oar market was
very thinly attea•ied this day, and very little was shown
