THE MARKETS.-(THIS DAY.)

CORN EXCHANGE.
This week's arrivals of English Grain have only been
mFderate, and of Foreign Wheat good. The dnty having
advanced to 103. Bd., the holders of Old Wheat were firm
in their demands, and endeavoured to obtain rather higher
prices, but the trade was slow at Monday's rates. In other
grain no variation. Flour met a fair sale, the stock being
low. London Averages—Wheat, 4,629 qrs., at 68s. Icl.
per quarter; Oats, 4,896 qrs., at 28s. Id. per quarter;
Beans, 568 qrs., at 455. I Id. per quarter; Peas, 197 qrs.
at 475. 9d. per quarter.
SMITHFIELD MARKET.
The trade was very dull for every thing, the supply
being far beyond the quantity required, but no further re-
duction in Beef or Mutton can be quoted. Lamb was
from 2d. to 6d. cheaper. Pork unaltered. Coarse Veal
advanced 41., but prime was unaltered. Beef 33. to
4s. 4d. ; Mutton 4s. to 4s. Bd. ; Veal 43. 10d. to 53, 4:1. ;

736 ; Sheep and Lambs 7,760 ; Calves 269; Pigs 421.
COLONIAL MARKET.

market, and privately few sales were made ; the auctions
were unimportant. The arrivals of goods have again been
small, but few auctions were declared.
TEA MARKET.
Prices were firm for Free Trade, but there wrs not
much business done. For Company's Congou, 2s. 3d.
was asked, but there was little done. Several public sales
were declared.

THE JEWS AT DAMASCUS.

The New York Enquircr contains the correspond-
ence between the Israelites at New York and Mr. For-
syth relative to the cruel treatment of their brethren at
Damascus. We published Mr. Forsyth's letter on
Wednesday. The following letter on the same subject
has been addressed to the American Consul at Alex-
andria :

Cory OF A LETTER FROM THE SAME TO JOHN GLIDDON,

ESQ., UNITED STATES CONSUL AT ALEXANDRIA.
Department of State, Washington, Aug. 14,1840.
Sir,—ln common ivith all civilized nations, the people
of the United States have learned with horror the atro-
cious crimes imputed to the Jews of Damascus, and the
cruelties of which they have been the victims. The Pre-
sident fully participates in the public feeling, and he
cannot refrain from expressing equal surprise and pain
that in this advanced age such unnatural practices
should he ascribed to any portion of the religious world,
and such barbarous measures be resorted to in order to
compel the confession of imputed guilt. The offnces
with which these unfortunate people are charged re-
semble too much those which, in less enlightened times,
were made the pretexts of fanatical persecution and of
mercenary extortion, to permit a doubt that they ara
equally unfounded.
The President has witnessed with the most lively
satisfaction the eff.,rts of several of the Christian Go-
vernments of Europe, to suppress or mitigate these hor-
rors, and he has learned with no common grafica-
tion their partial success. He Is moreover anxious

WINDOW DUTIES

The Morning Post says, the following letter from
Mr. Joseph Hume has been forwarded to that paper,
by the gentleman to whom it was addressed
(Copy.) " Ryde, Sept. 9,1840.
" SIR—In answer to your letter of the ith instant,
I beg to inform you that the pledge given by Lord
Althorp, then Chancellor of the Exchequer, to me in
the House, at the time one-half the window-duty was
taken off, was, that on all houses then built, and where
sonic windows had been shut up to prevent the charge
,or window•light, there NEVER should be any ADDI-
TIONAL charge made for any of those windows that
might be re-opened, or for any new windows which
might be made in such houses. The rate for window-
light charged at the time of the repeal was, as I clearly
understood, to be the greatest rate that could afterwards
be charged for that house.
" When the addition of ten per cent. to the window-
light duty, and also a new survey, were proposed by
the present Chancellor of the Exchequer, I, in my
place in Parliament, claimed for the public the be-
nefit of the pledge given by Lord Althorp, and I was
informed by Mr. Baring then, and afterwards in the
House on a question put to him by me, that he
intended to keep the pledge given by his LORDSHIP.
" I remain your obedient servant,

Under the Management of a Board of Directors.

This Society, in addition to the general business of Insur-
ance Companies, has been formed for the purpose of enabling
persons of very moderate means to attain those objects hitherto
confined to the more wealthy, viz.:-
Ist. Insuril.g their lives in sums from 5/. and upwards, se-
curing Deferred Annuities as a provisionfor Old Age; Weekly
Allowances during Sickness ; and Endowments for Children,
the Premiums being divided into Monthly instalments for the
convenience of the Insured. Also for the protection of such
as possess only a small personal property, Insurances are effected
against loss by Fire, in sums from 101. to 1C31., by Quarterly
Payments ; thus Household Goods, Wearing Apparel, Stock
in Trade, Workmen's Tools, &c., to the value of 201. can be
Insured, on payment of Sixpence every Three Months, duty
included.

The attention of the Public is particularly directed to this
very novel feature, for the man to whom this fact is known, will
henceforth deserve little sympathy should be become the victim
o' a calamity, against the evils of which he could so readily
have guarded.
Prospectuses, detailing at length the various modes and rates
of Insurance, can be obtained on application at the office, 351,
Strand, or to any of the Society's Agents.

THE WEATHER

The tempestuous weather which still continues wit; „
in London, appears to be general throughout the king
a°l,o
as wilt be seen by the subjoined notices :
( From the Glasgow Chronicle of Wednesday.) rot
A quarter to five o'clock.—The London mail has nn"
arrived, being upwards of two hours behind its fixed tin'e.
,
In our last we noticed the stormy state of the 'veto
ther for some days past in this quarter, and regret r
have to add that it still continues as boisterous as cLe;
Yesterday we had high winds from the south-west all
accompanied often with heavy showers of rain and a?":k,
times hail ; and at night, between seven and ten o'en3"
it blew a perfect hurricane.
(From the Dublin Evening Mail of Wednesday las boo
The gale which commenced on Saturday morning pot
continued to blow with little abatement up to the Preto.
moment, and since the establishment of first class ste",;oo
vessels, there has been no similar instance of the detail' of

TO CORRESPONDENTS.

Those Correspondents wh• wish to see their communi-
cations inserted, must send us, in confidence, their names
and addresses. Without that we have no guarantee of
the accuracy of the communication.
We cannot see what benefit would arise from publishing the
letter of " A Constant Reader," complaining of the
extra charge on letters delivered within the district of
Romford. It appears to be a local question, having no
connexion with the new regulations. The reason why
he does not get his Birmingham letters earlier is this—
the canting Pharisees will not allow letters to pass
through London on Sundays.
Jolts FROST. —A Correspondent at Aberdeen informs us
that on the 21st an Address to the Queen in favour of
Frost and his companions was sent off by the mail to
Lord Brougham for presentation, containing 7,996 sig-
natures, and a similar address from the females, signed
by 5,000. Another Correspondent at Bury informs us
that the petition prepared in that town received in two
days 3,228 signatures, many of these by the middle
classes.

We cordially concur in the remarks made by R. W. on
the question of privilege and the necessity for amending
the law of libel, and regret we cannot find room for his

SPAIN.
The Marquis of LONDONDERRY begged to ask
a question of the Noble Viscount opposite relative to
the late Spanish pacification. He desired to know if
the officers in the army of Lord John Hay were
parties to the Bergara Convention, and if the British
Government were party to it ? Secondly, he wished
to know if the Bergara Convention was in
the possession of the Government, and if it was their
intention to lay the Convention on the table of that
House ? Thirdly, he wished to know if the Noble
Viscount had any information to lay before that House
to show the satisfaction of the Spanish Government and
the Basque Provinces ?
Lord MELBOURNE'S reply was at first totally
inaudible. We, at the close, gathered that he would
have no objection to produce the Convention.
The Marquis of LONDONDERRY said he would
reserve himself till then.
JAMAICA.
On the motion of Lord REDESDALE certain re-
turns were ordered relative to Jamaica.
BUENOS AYRES.
The Earl of STRANGFORD asked if the Govern-
ment were aware of the late arrival in Paris of a Deputy
from the Government of Monte Video, offering to
place itself under the French Government, as the
lonian Isles were under the British Government.
Lord MELBOURNE was not aware, but would
make inquiries.

ALLOWANCE to PRINCE ALBERT.

TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN.

Sia,—When Prince Leopold's allowance, on his mar-
riage with the Princess Charlotte, was settled, no pro-
phetic eye could have foreseen the establishing of Bel-
gium into a kingdom, the early demise of the Heiress to
the Throne of England, or the yet less probable event
of Prince Leopold becoming the King of Belgium.
Had such a case been deemed likely to occur, it is
probable, and at all events would hare been correct,
that a clause in the Act should have guarded against his
continuing as a Foreign Potentate to receive the 50,0001.
a-year.
However unlikely a similar thing may be in the case
of Prince Albert, it would not be more unlooked for
than in that of Prince Leopold ; and under these cir-
cumstances, I can do no harm in calling the attention of
Parliament to the case.

The grant to the King of Hanover is another case

SOCIETY

FOR MUTUAL ASSURANCE.

- -
This Society APPROPRIATES the WHOLE orthe PRO-
FITS to the reduction of the Premiums of its Members, and this
is UNDIMINISHED by AGENCY or COMMISSION, the
business of the Society being conducted without incurring that
expense. The effect of the principle of Mutual Assurance, so
CARRIED OUT, is shown by the abatement of FORTY per Cent.
eclared for the ensuing year, upon the Premiums of Members of
ye Years' standing, and which abatement has been computed
on ata justifying the expectation of the continuance of an
equal rate of abatement, at least, throughout the remaining
*nu of life.
This abatement of FORTY per cent., the amount being laid
out in a new Assurance, is equivalent to a bonus of one-third
of the amount of the existing Policy.

left Limerick for England on leave of absence, the troops
serving in the south-western district will report through
the Assistant Adjutant-General to head-quarters, Dublin,
during the Major-General's absence.

The Carshalton Park freight-ship, 441 tons, having on
board the draft from the depot companies of the 64th and
68th degiments, destined to join the service companies of
those corps, sailed from Cove on the 16th inst. for Jamaica.
The following are the numbers of which these draft: con-
sist, viz :-64th Foot—Captain James, Lieutenant Cana-
van, Ensign Kilvington, two sergeants, and 100 rank and
file; 68th Foot—Major Huey, Lieutenant Cross, Ensigns
Rhodes and Beak, and four privates.
The depot companies of the 92d Regiment, under the
command of Major Forbes, will march from Birr to-mor-
row ( Tuesday) for Mullingar, where they will arrive on
the 24th instant, and be stationed for the present,
Ensign Garylls, of the 30th Foot, embarked for Ber-
muda on the 4th instant, in order to join the service com-
panies of his regiment.
The Itith Regiment is expected to return to Dublin
without delay, now that the Monmouth trials are over.
All the heavy baggage, sick, the recruits, and about forty
rank and file are now in the Royal Barracks, Dublin, ur-
der the command of Major Potts. Lieutenants Walsh and
Honey are also with the detachment.

THE ITALIAN OPERA:

The opera on Saturday evening was La Sonnambula,
in which Persiani appeared for the first time this season.
She was welcomed with enthusiastic applause, and de-
servedly so, as she is among the first singers of the present
day. She was in excellent voice, and performed the part
of prima donna with great effect. Ricciardo represented
Elvino, and, though nut equal to RubiMi, he is infinitely
superior to some that have attempted the part. F. La-
blache was the Count, and we never saw him act and sing
with more spirit.
The house was extremely well attended, for although
the public portion of it was not filled at the opening of the
doors, every seat was soon occupied, and the arrival of her
Majesty, Prince Albert, Prince Ernest, and the ladies of
the Court, just after the opera commenced, rewarded tho
visitors for their early attendance. The Queen took her
usual place, and the Prince sat beside her, while Prince
Ernest had the situation usually allotted to the Duchess of
Kent, who was not:of the party. No notice was taken of the
arrival of: the Royal company beyond the buzz of inforrnE-
tion which was heard in all quartets, and the directing of
perhaps a thousand glasses to ards the objects of curi,:sity.
The Queen looked extremely well and in good spi•
and evidently enjoyed the entertainment.
The ballet was the Gipsy; but, as her Majesty an.:
Prince Albert did not intend to remain for it, Far
Eisler introduced a beautiful and a quite new pas sea
between the two acts of the opera. She was vehemently
applauded from all parts of the house, and the ballet
went off with all the usual honours.

FURTHER PARTICULARS.

Major Hornden, formerly of the Cornwall Militia, and
holding rank as Major of the 4th Regiment of Foot, had
been residing at the hotel for five manths past, and was
born at St D C,:lltagtoli, in which town he
aas so mu, It raspe,l( d, that on the no-lancholy news
r.-aching it, nearly all the respectable inhabitants lett for
this place to ascertain the particulars of the calamity. He
was a brother of the late Colonel Horndon of that place,
and the Rev. David Horndon, of Bicton, Devon. He ac-
companied the 4th Regiment in the Duke of York's expe-
dition to 1-I,lland, and was severely wounded. The unfor-
tunate deceased was 74 years of age, and was much crippled
in constitution, from general debility. We are sorry to
add, that neither the house nor property were insured ; and
we should think, from the appearance of the hotel, and
the particulars we have obra:ned, that the loss between
Mrs L' e, the owner of the hotel, and Mr. Elliott, cannot
b'...estimat('d at less than 2 5001.
The Heads of Public Departments, and the Troops from
the Barracks and Garrison, consisting of the Ist Royals,
Royal Marines, and detachments from the 15th, 25th, 53d,
75th, and 85th Regiments, with the Artillery, gave the
most strenuous assistance, in which they were most
effec-
tually aided by the Magistracy (among whom we parti-
cuiarly no iced W P Billing, Esq ), the Town Police,
and that valuable body of men, the Dock-yard Police,
under the direction of Lieut. Williams, the Superinten-
dent—in fact, all classes of the inhabitants appeared to vie
with each other in rendering assistance by raising the
IT stones and ripping up the pavements with crowbars to
obtain a large fl iw of water, which they directed in proper
channels by layers of traw, stable litter, Scc.l which gave
the engines an opportunity of getting into full play at six
o'clock.

One of Mr. Elliott's sons, a clerk in the Western Dis-
t ict Bank, had a narrow escape ; he was in bed, and hear-
ing an alarm of fire, at first hesitated about getting up,
but, fortunately, five minutes after, changed his mind,
having at the moment no conception that the Hotel was
on fire; but, to his horror, on opening his chamber door,
he perceived the immediate part of the house before him a
complete body of fire ; had he remained a quarter of an
hour longer he must have perished.
An inquf'st aas held the following evening on the re-
mains of General Hornden, and a verdict returned of "Ac-
cidental Death."

CONSTABULARY POLICE.

A return has been rricde to the House of Com-
mons of the different Counties, or parts of Comi-
ties, in England and Wales, which have adopted
the provisions of the Act relative to County and
District Constables. It appears from this, that
fourteen whole Counties have adopted the Act, and
five have partially adopted it, The largest Coun-
ties that have adopted it wholly are Lancashire,
Norfolk, Essex, Salop, Durham, and Wilts. The
extent of each County with the population is given,
and also the number of Constables employed. For
Lancashire, the largest County, the total number
of Constables, Superintendents, and others em-
ployed, is 500, the annual charge 24,9571., the
umber of square miles 1,831, and the population
1,335,600. For Leicester, the smallest County,
the number of Constables is 26, the annual charge
1,6391., the square miles 806, and the population.
158,099. The total Police force kept up by these
fourteen Counties is about 1,700 men, and at an
ar.nual charge of somewhat less than 100,000/.
Reckoning these, exclusive of the Metropolitan
Districts, as a fourth of the whole of England and
Wales, the total number of men required would be
7,000, at an annual charge of about half a million,
or little more than double of what is required for
the Metropolis alone.

all her Majesty's subjects. That, Sir, is my opinion,
and being se, I will only advise you to urge this opening
of trade and this cherishing of manufactures by all con-
stitutional means—to go on steadily, perserveringly, but
determinedly, and I am fully satisfied that yoz, will attain
the object th;tt you desire, and that peace and happiness
will take the place of the misery and distress which now
pervade the land.

After a vote of thanks to the guests and the Mayer,
an individual in the meeting here asked who was to pre-
sent the petition to the Lords? The Mayor replied
that probably Earl Fitzwilliam would do so. The 7nan
then proposed that Lord Brougham should be rrqucs'A
to do so ; and on being told that he was not in tit!'
country, the man replied with great naivete, " Hc'e.
sure to come on purpose if you'll let him know.”--
(Much laughter.)
The proceedings of the meeting, one of the tor.,6t
harmonious, crowded, and enthusiastic ever heid in
Kendal, terminated shortly after ten o'clock.

Ma• ITOWA RD'S NEW NAVAL NOVEL.-
Our readers will doubtless be delighted to hear that a new
naval story from the pen of the AuthOr of " Rattlin the Reefer '
" Outward Bound," &c., is expected to appear in the course of
a few days. It bears the title of "Jack Ashore"—a title which
gives promise of au infinite variety of that " fun" for which our
sailors, when released from the tedious trammels of duty, are
proverbial. Mr. Howard has now achieved a fame which places
him in the very foremost rank among the popular writers of
nautical fiction of the day. Indeed his writings so closely ap-
proach in excellence the masterpieces of his literary sponsor
Captain Marryat, under whose auspices his " Rattlin the
Reefer" was ushered before the public, that 1' is to this day dif-
ficult to dissuade many from the belief that the Gallant Captain
himself was the author of that successful work—a tolerably
conclusive proof of its merit. As Mr. Howard in all his for-
mer productions has shown himself so well able to depict the
life of a sailor on his own element, we have no doubt that in
the forthcoming book he will be equally felicitous in his
sketches of Jack" Ashore."
