The vulgar supposed that the Jews were in the habit of
sacrificing a person at the time of their Easter, and that
that they made use of his blood.
In consequence of this opinion, the Jews of Damas.

have been persecuted by other nations: the calumny of
which they hare been the object, and the vexations to
which they have lately been subjected, have reached as tar
as my Imperial Throne.
A short time ago some Jews were ordered from the
island of Rhodes to Constantinople; they have been judged
agreeably to the new renliations ; their innocence has
been proved, and consequently they have been dealt with
as justice and equity required.

DEFERRED ANNUITIES DEPARTMENT.
By the plan exclusively developed by the Society, a single
deferred annuity is made, nut only to answer the same object,
but to equal in amount the entire sum of all the advantages
heretofore only obtained by the middle and industrious classes
by separate investments in Savings' Banks, Benefit Societies,
and Loan Banks.
1. A small yearly or weekly contribution will secure the
most ample return for after life; thus-21. 12s. per annum (Is.
a week) at 20 will at 65 give the policy holder the choice of an
annuity for life of 47/. 16s. 6d.: 394!. I Is. in cash; or policy
without further contributions of 4661. at death.

2. Two-thirds at any time lent on deposit of policy, being a
fund always available 4uring sickness or want of employment.
3, Two-thirds of all payments returned to representatives in
eue of 'premature death.

(From the New York Herald, Oct. 10 )

CANADA.—There have lately been some acts of in-
cendiarism committed along the Canada border, but
no suspicion rests on Americans as the authors of the
villainy, and there is generally a good understanding
between the inhabitants on the different sides of the
line. Some of the Canadian papers speak in strong
terms of the injudicious management of the Home Go-
vernment. " There are a million and a half of souls in
British North America," says the Quebec Gazelle,
" who have been sincerely disposed to acquit them-
selves of their duty of allegiance to the British Crown,
even at the hazard of seeing their country desolated by
a war with the population of the neighbouring States,
with whom they can have no ground of quarrel. But
if people in England will undertake to manage the
affairs of these colonies in the way they have been
managed of late, giving credence to those who know
little about the colonies, and have no permanent interest
in them, it will be found that they are difficult to
manage, and will cost more than they are worth.
TExas.—We have had but a single mail from Texas
for ten days past. The only intelligence of much public
interest is the arrival of an express at San Antonio,
from Austin, informing that a large detachment of
Centralists had crossed the Rio Grande, and were
advancing into the country. The circumstance excited
no alarm, however.

THE NORTH EASTERN BOUNDARY.—Captain A.
Talcott, with a party of surveyors, left Canaan, Ver-
mont, for the head-quarters of Connecticut River, for
the purpose of tracing the sources of the Magalloway
river. The party are then to proceed along the
dividing highlands to the Kennebec-road. Another
party, under Professor Renwick, have proceeded to the
Restigouche Bay, from whence they are to trace the
highlands agreeable to the treaty, and expect to meet
the first party in the vicinity of the Kennebec-road. A
third party, under Major Graham, is employed in
running the meridian line from Mars Hill.

UNION-HALL.

John Yates, clerk to Messrs. Maltby and Otter, the
solicitors, of Old Broad-street, was charged with stealing
2001., the property of his employers.
Mr. Otter stated that the prisoner had been a clerk in
the employ of him and his partner, and that on Satur-
day, the 17th instant, he was sent to get a cheque of
2001. cashed at the banking-house of Bosanquet and
Co., Lombard-street. The prisoner was desired to re-
turn immediately, but he absconded with the money and
had not been heard of until the preceding night, when
he was taken into custody at the terminus of the South-
western Railway. A:reward of 201., had been offered
for the apprehension of the prisoner.
The cashier at Bosanquet's attended, anal stated that
he paid over the amount of the 200/ cheque in gold to
the prisoner, who, accounting for his wish to have the
amount in cash instead of notes, said that he was di-
rected by his employers to pay some small accounts be-
fore he returned to Broad-street.

John Stowell stated that h. was a constable, and
that on the preceding night the prisoner was given into
custody in the waiting-room of the Southampton Rail-
way at wine Elms by one of the guards of the train
wh►ch had just arrived. On examin►ng the prisoner's
pockets, a bag containing 100 sovereigns was found, to-
gether w►th a brace of loaded pistols, and he had a new
gold watch in his waistcoat pocket. When informed
that the charge against him was that of robbing his em-
ployers he made no reply, but wanted the pistols to be
returned to him, as they had nothing to do with the
charge.

The prisoner, who is quite a young man, was fashion-
ably attired, and he appeared to have been recently en-
gaged in an affray, for one of his eyes was blackened,
and his face scratched. Since he obtained the cash for
the cheque he has been at Southampton and the Isle of
Wight, and had come up to town again after having ex-
pended 100/. of the plunder, with a view, it is sus-
pected, of procuring a passage to America. In answer
to the charge he said that he should reserve his defence
until his trial, and he was then committed.

238 of Oettber, 1840, to carry into effect a strong desire ex- Strand
pressed by many of his Friends to evince the respect they ells-
trite to entertain for him to invite him to a PUBLIC DIN-
NER, fur which purpose upwards of seventy influential Gen-
tlemen had enrolled their names to act as Stewards,
JAMES ANDERTON, Esq., in the Chair,
The Chairman reported to the Meeting that he had received
a letter from Alderman Harmer, of which the following is a
copy, viz.:— " Guildhall, 22d Oistober, 1840.
"My Dear Sir,—l understand that many gentlemen have, on
your invitation, enrolled themseives as Stewards for a Public
Dinner, to testify their approbation of my conduct, and that a
Meeting of those Gentlemen is convened to make the requisite
preliminary arrangements. Now, Sir, flattering as this pro-
posal is to me, and grateful as I am for such a demonstration of
feeling on my behalf, I beg most respectfully to request that the
honour intended to be conferred on me may be dispensed with.
The angi y and adverse feelings consequent on a contested elec-
tion have now, 1 hope, entirely subsided, and I should ex-
ceedingly regret that any act likely to revive them should be
adopted by my friends or myself, and as I think the contem-
plated measure might by some persons be considered as having
Bitch a tendency, I trust my friends will yield to nay earnest de-
sire, and forbear taking any further steps in the affair. In
communicating this letter to the Gentlemen who have tendered
their services, I beg you will express to them my sincere and
grateful thanks for their kindness, and be pleased to accept the
same expression of my gratitude to yourself for the support
you afforded me during the late contest.
" I am, my deal Sir, your's, very faithfully,
"JAMES HARMER."
It was unanimously resolved—That in deference to the
feelingas and wishes of Alderman Harmer (so well expressed
in his letter), that the Public Dinner proposed to be given to
him be not proceeded with.
Resolved—That the Alderman's letter and resolutions there-
on be printed, publisked, and circulated, in such manner as
the Committee may think fit.
JAMES ANDERTON, Chairman.
Resolved—That the thanks of the Meeting be given to the
Chairman for his conduct in the Chair.

THAMES POLICE.

A FEMALE SMUGGLER.—A fashionable modiste,
named M urden, residing at the West.end, was charged,
under an information laid by the Commissioners ot Cus-
toms, with smuggling sundry foreign articles—to wit,
28 cards of silk lace, containing 739 yards, four cards
of thread lace, I 1 collars, 813 yards of black silk lace,
seven peletines, four pair of cuffs, three ladies' bustles,
a scarf, and a gallon of brandy, by which she had in-
curred a penalty of 2581. 25., the treble value of the
goods.
The defendant is a petite young lady, with a sim-
pering air, and was very fashio iably attired. She
pleaded guilty, but the Magistrate determined on hoar-
inc the evidence.
It appeared in evidence that the prisoner was seen
leaving a foreign steamer off the Tower by Joshua
Judge, a Tharnes.r.poliee inspector, who, as she v,;,3,
landing at irongate-stairs, asked her if she had any-
thing about her subject to duty. The lady tjeefared an
her " honour' she had not, but Judge was not satisfied
with her assertion, and observed that she looked very

EVENING EDITION'.

bulky. The lady declared that she was in that state
which ladies wish to be who love their lords. Judge
said he did not believe that to be the case,
and she must submit to a search. She then
took from her pockets two bladders, each con-
taining half a gallon of brands', and declared that
that was all sh> had. Judge then delivered her over
to a female searcher, who reduced the modiste' to her
fair proportions, and took from her duce bustles'
leaving one upon her, and the other articles named
the information which were secreted about various parts
of her person.
The MAGISTRATE—DA the defendant nPPer
very bulky when you stopped her ? Judge—Yes,
very, and the articles were so placed about the lady to
to give her the appearance of being pregnant.
Mr. Morgan, receiver in the Queen's warehouse:
produced the smuggled goods, and created much lauo'
ter by holding up those nondescript appendage' t° a
lady's toilette—the hustles.
The defendant, in reply to the charge, said she re,:
gretted much the delicate situation in which she stoo o
and the trouble she had given to her Majesty's revelet
officers ; the whole of the affair arose from a slig,
I mistake, the fact was, she bad forgotten to Pal l"e
duty.
MAGISTRATE—So it appears ; that is the very offence
with which ou stand chd?
Dofendanty—l hope, Sir,arge you will be lenient to An
unfortunate artiste des modes.
MAGism.sTE—Has this artiste des moles boo c°ll'
victed before ?

The officers answered in the negative. beih
The MAGISTRATE said, in consideration of this
the defendant's first offence, he would reduce _toe
penalty to 621. 125., being one-fourth of the tre
value and the costs, which was inimedia:,ely paid.

CORN TRADE.

Flour has not changed in price for some days.
Sales in this market have been so so, but not ex-
tensive. if the article should decline, perhaps
larger sales would be made. The receipts are now
great. For the past week ten thousand barrels have
arrived per day. Since the arrival of the Western, sales
of wheat have been made on European account, at one
dollar per bushel.

These, in the aggregate, are more than one hunired

For six months, ending September 30th, there were
in►pected in Richmond—
Superfine bbls. 107,352

Fine bbls. 25,263
Superfine bf.bbls. 96S
Rye-flour bbls. 41
Corn-meal
With the exception of Richmond, the above exhibits
a very great augmentation. The aggregate receipts
for this year, compared with last, at all the markets,
will, no doubt, show an increase of thirty per cent.
Group the above together, and the reader has an idea of
the fertility of this country.
Movements of bread-stuffs all over the country con-
tinue to indicate the great production of 1839. We
give the following figures :—From the 20th of April to
to the 26th of September, there came down the North
River to New York, 570,978 barrels, and 5,100 half
barrels of flour, and 7,967 bushels of wheat. The to-
tal receipts at this port last year, from all points,
north, south, and west, did not exceed a million bar-
rels of flour.

STATE OF TRADE.

There is a good business doing generally, particularly
in domestic goods. Prices of some descriptions of pro-
duce have-however, fallen off during the week. A sale
of teas to-day, consisting of the cargo of the ship Aria,
was well attended, and went off at improved prices.,
COTTON TRADE.

The cotton year has closed, after a season ofgreat abun-
dance. The following is a statement of the cotton crop
for the year ending September 30, 1840 :

••.•••

From this it appears that the cotton crops of
the last ten years average 1,367,599 bales. In re-
gard to the growing crop there are as many reports
of damage done by floods and worms as ever. In oppo-
sition to these reports, however, the weather through-
out the cotton sections has, we believe, been unusually
good for the season. This fact is a favourable one. The
receipts of new crop thus far continue to exceed the
receipts at the same time last year. At New Orleans the
receipts of new crop are as 24,725 against 13,302 bales
last year. At Mobile, old cotton is quoted 7 a 91, and
new, 9 a 101. In this market the transactions have been
small, at the following rates :—Upland, 81 a lOi ; New
Orleans, 101 ; Mobile, 81 a 101- ; Florida, 84 a 10!.

POLICE ESPIONAGE.

TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN.
shall feel obliged by your calling public
attention to the following facts :—A very numerous
meeting was held last evening in Johnson's Lecture-
room, Clerkenwell-green, to congratulate Dr. M'Douall
on his release from Chester Castle. In one corner of
which room I observed Inspector Penny, of the U
division of police in the disguise of a gentleman,
together with a Sergeant and a whole host of privates,
also in disguise, listening with apparent attention to the
eloquent speeches of Messrs. Collins, Hetherington,
Peat, and others, and occasionally withdrawing to take
notes of what occurred until the business was over,
when he sneaked about the room, listening and endea-
vouring to overhear the conversation of the persons
assembled, and with eager eyes watched the subscrip-
tion-box, which was now rapidly filling. At lenpth,
seeing he was observed, he left the room, no doubt
feeling very much disappointed at the language being
so temperate during the evening. On arriving at the
outside be found about haif a dozen persons, some
attracted by curiosity, and others waiting for their
friends, who were inside. Ho immediately ordered his
myrmidons to clear the pavement, he himself setting
the example, by pushing the people right and left, until
they arrived at the corner of Jerusalem-passage, when
a gentleman had the imprudence to cross the road to see
what was the matter, and he was saluted is the same
way. By the above adventure the police have increased
our numbers, and made me

leave any goods on the pavement. They should be
carried into the warehouse from the waggon at once.
If in the public thoroughfares, such as the Poultry or
Cheapside, where omnibuses were continually passing
rapidly, such obstructions were allowed, the consequences
might be fatal to pedestrians. As this was the third in-
stailte hl which Mr. Brown had been summoned for the
same deride, he felt bound-to inflict the full penalty of
4th. and costs.

In answer to an observation from Mr. Brown,
The ALDERMAN observed, that it was the duty of the
police to take cognizance of these matters, and thus as
much as possible prevent the interiserence of common

NEW ZEALAND.

" The Select Committee appointed to inquire into
the statements contained in the Petition of the Mer-
-4lnts, Bankers, and Shipowners of the City of London,
respecting the Colonization of New Zealand," reported,
t they have considered the matters to them re-
' !erred, and have taken evidence thereupon, which they
have agreed to report to the House. The Committee
made no other Report. The evidence they collected was
Printed. In the Times of this morning, however, there
4Ppears " An Abstract of the Report of the Select
Committee on New Zealand."—This is an error. What
the Times publishes is an abstract of the draft of
a Report submitted to the Committee by its
Lhairnian Lord Eliot, which the Committee re-
fused to adopt. On the 30th of July Mr. R. Steuart
'nosed that " the Chairman be instructed to report the
evidence to the House:' Mr. Hawes thereupon moved
as an aliendruent that the Committee proceed to consider
the draft report submitted by Lord Eliot ; and on this
question a, division took place, the Committee deciding
by 7 to 4 that the Chairman should be ordered to re-
Port the evidence to the House, and that, it would not
e2en'ider Lord Eliot's draft. The document, therefore,
v 1 which the Times gives an abstract is of no authority,
fo,r it was actually repudiated by the Committee. - We
Wok it necessary now to say so much of the document
Itsititblished by the Times ; we shall hereafter advert to
ttt, to the evidence, and to the pretensions of the New
Zealand Land Company.

I Far be it from us to desire or even to think of ex-
asperating the quarrel. If it were in our power to
erase, with one stroke of the pen, the incidents of the
last six weeks, and to establish at the very instant be-
tween England and France, between the two great
Constitutional nations of Europe, that intimate union
which was alike useful and honourable for both coun-
tries, and which alone would guarantee the peace of the
world, assuredly we should not hesitate in doing so.
Nevertheless, we must be permitted to call the Noble
Lord's attention to the singularl anguage which he makes j

oTANTINOPLE, AUG. l?.—The trousseau of the i
!'eess Atbye was cairicd this morning from the m-
ral reidence of Echeragan to the Palace of Arnaut

~„; °lc distance. The procession was opened by a re-

-entadministrations, onllowe horseback, who were succeeded
t‘:cdred chefs de bataillons and lieutenant-colonels;
,"
wng files of camels and mules laden with mat-
foeires, and other heavy articles, next appeared,
13_. wed by forty waggons, filled with the dresses of the
,11"ccess, and a large quantity of plate, and servants
tait:he Palace carrying on their heads baskets con-
vl°lg the diamonds and other jewellery. Another
ent of Lancers closed the march. The table ser-
elit the grand dinner to the Corps Diplomatique was
Cerfieent and elegant, equelling ia splendour what-
tohas been seen in any European Court. When the
ots,were about to take their seats, Reschid Pacha
Lia old Raouf Pacha, the Grand Vizier, and placed
)'6 Poosonby's arm within his ; thus, perhaps, for
lane rat time in his life, converting him into a gal-
po;,,eavalier. At the dessert, Reschid Pacha pro-
t„,ett toasts to the health of the Sultan, and the
licsentatives of the Foreign Powers, and added,
eneY the harmony which subsists between the Power,s,
There eternally for the welfare of the empire.
Wm c,°lnPany, after their return to the saloon,
.° honoured with a visit from the Sultan, wear-
kettia auntie, with a clasp enriched with diamonds,
sabre of immense value. Taking the arm of
esebid Pacha, he advanced into the middle of the
guests, who formed a circle around him. He paid corn-
hope to the Foreign Ministers, and said that he
b„ped the representatives of his allies would put up
foi:Yers for the happiness of the Princess his sister, and
Ina continuance of the friendship between the Otto-
re tcrapire and the European States. Lord Ponsonby
bAiled in the name of the diplomatic body. Every one
e delighted with the distinguished manners and affa-
ItY of the young Sultan, who had more the air of an
ty,°Pean jn Prince than a descendant from the proud and
meal race of Turkish Sovereigns. Reschid Pacha
Pethi Ahmet Pacha did the honours of the day to
trliration. • Had it not been for the predominance of
otee red caP, one might hve imagined oneself to be in
of the most brilliant circles in Europe."
