An enthusiastic reception was given last night,

a large and influential one, was presided over by Mr.

faith, in the cemetery of the Israelities, near that city. A
imitable monument is also to be erected to their memory

LANDLORDS AND TENANTS.—PATMEN'T OF RATES.
—We mentioned last week that some landlords of small
homes intended to allow their tenants en amount equiva-
lent to that hitherto paid by the landlord sa compound
rate, thus dividing the burden cast upon the
tenant by the Reform Act. We are now in a
position to state that • copy of the following circular
has been tuned to each tenant under their charge by
Meseta. Birch and Rawlings, Mews. Orimley end Son,
and Messrs. Potter and Sons, who collectively are agents for
the owners of several thousands of small houses in the
borough : "Notice to Tenants.—ln consequence of the
new Reform Act having abolished compounding for poor
rates, the overseers are now compelled to charge the full
rate to each tenant. We therefore beg to inform you that
in future you will be required to pay the poor rate, but we
are willing to allow you the amount we hare hitherto paid,
on production of the collector's receipt. It must be dis-
tinctly understood, that you will not be entitled to receive
the proportion of the rate if any arrears are owing, but
the amount agreed upon will be applied towards the reduc-
tion of arrears.' It may be assumed that this prompt and
liberal action on the part of the landlords represented by
the above-mentioned firms, will virtually decide the prac.
tics in Birmingham.—Birmingham Past.
EARL STANHOPE'S FIRST WORK.—Two curious
traits of children, who have since fully justified the expec-
tations formed of them, were set down by Miss Edgeworth
in 1813 :—" April 25, 1813.—1 enclose the Butterfly's Ball
for Sophy, and a letter to the King written by Dr. Holland
when six years old; his father found him going with it to
the post. (This letter was an offer from Master Holland
to raise a regiment. He and some of his little comrades
bad got a drum and • flag, and used to go through the
manual exercise. It was a pity the letter did not reach
the King; he would have been delighted with it.)"
" August, 1813.—We have just seen a journal by a little
boy of eight years old, of a voyage from England to Sicily ;
the boy is Lord Mahon's son, Lord Carrington's grandson.
It is one of the hest journals I ever rend, full of facts:
exactly the writing of a child, but a very clever child."
, This very clever child is the present Earl Stanhope.—
