TIIE FEAST or rassov:At.—This being a grand ho!i.
day among the Ilehrews, is observed by most of them whit .
the greatest sirieMess. EvAt those who forsake their reh.
gion during the whole of the yar, make it a point to return
to it during the above holidays. and partake of the mode
of their living, in eating of the Passover cakes, w;th other
certain ceremonies, during the eight days it lasts. On
Tuesday and Wednesday, there were grand praytts at the
cliff...vent Synagogues, with large offerings to the poor. In
that of fluke's-place, we observed N. M. Rothschild, Est,
who offered for the relief of the poor 1.501., for his lady
tool., and for each of his sons a certain sum ;_other per-
sons also contributed according to their wealth, and the
wl.ole amounted to nearly 1,0001.
Ft as.—Yesterday evening, about Nova o'clock, an alarm.
ing tire broke out, in the second door of a hour In Goo
Fleet-street, occupied by a Mr. zenith, an oilman ait=e:
r
chandler, and which, from the confined situation of the premiers.
I/threatened destruction to the neighbourhood. However, by the
niely arrival of the engines and the exertions of the firmer.
aided by a plentiful supply of IfIVAT, it was ultimately got under
without eommuticadnit to the loser :sin of the premises Of dairtg-
any very ;J:tsidersbk damosc.
