7'HE PERSECUTIOIY OF THE JEWS.

(from a New York Paper.]

TO THE EDITOR.

Sit —As as holabk tripod of a frail world, I regard the
peraeciition of the Jews in Germany among the most astonish.
log and disgusting events of iwodiern times.,l had hoped that
the age of gloomy soperstition had passed away, sod that in
theseeulightenrd days we should sat be insulted by sack spec-
tacles as the wnutuu massacre of helpless cilium', becasae
they differ with their fellow mortals on points which the light
of heaven alone can understand. I would sot be a Chris-
tian, if I thought my eternal salvation required blood and
deputation. No, our altars have bees sualciestly stained
'Already—this permuted aid abased Nation has bees hunted

It is perhaps ungenerous to level a blow at a people ;
but contemplating these scenes at i distance, I cannot but
think I see is them the true portrait of the Gamut chaser-
ler--414 imitate of patriotism and natiosal spirit—yielding
without resistance to the invasion of every foe in arms, yet
meanly trampling on the rights of those who have nut the
power to resist. These events furnish, too, another evidcace
how miserably degraded is poor blighted Europe, and (a
source of severe regret to every erne friend of free gave. a
meet) bow little hope we have, that liberty will ever tri•
alarsver dmputiern amidst such asorals, and assisted by
so& a spirit of cruel sod stupid iossAsmose.
We turn from this picture with delight to this little cor-
ner of the earth, wh.re the Jew can rest in peace, and enjoy
the full exercise of his natural rights. My heart swells with
polity& to the Great Disposer of verso M elect,
that while we vigilantly guard our morals, sad cosieries
homely dif•eloarge our religions duties, ere are blessed
with a charity and fellow-feeling, which diffuse their holy
influence over the children of airs of every denomination ;
and that we are protected by the spirits of liberty and jdsticr,
which watch equally over the rights of Jew and
Gentle.

OLDHAM !Ng() EsT.—The Jury who were empan-
nelled on the celebrated impsest of Jotis LEES, of
Oldham, bring very properly desirous of having
the business determined aceoraing to the law, on
Wednesday transmitted, by two of their body, a re-
quest to the Coroner, to afford thesis an opportu-
nity of delivering their verdict. lu this they state,
that the original writ is still in force, and that,
therefore, the duty of the Coroner sill not be coin-
pleted until he resumed and coucluded the inquest.
'l'he letter was signed by seven; the ether five being
publicans, have refused. from motives of personal
interest. although they have expressed • wish to be
enabled to give their opinion in the formal manner
of the law. Should the Coroner refuse complimice
with their widwa, we understand that they intend to
publish their opinion from the evidence they have
already hesrd.--4 Maxchester Observer.

able clauses iii the Act passed in the 48th year of
Isis ptesvut Majesty. respecting the wetting sill
