THE HEBREW FORM OF

THANKSGIVING FOR THE HARVEST.

The following is the form of thanksgiving used on
Saturday in all the Jewish synagogues of the British
empire in charge of the Chief Rabbi. (Oct. 16, A.AI.
5,068.)
" 0 Lord, Creator of the universe ! in Thy hand
are the revolutions of the seasons, and the laws of all
nature. In Thy temple all pay Thee homage; every
creature declareth Thy glory; every living being,
every animal, every plant, maketh known Thy power.
Behold, our heart overflovveth with, and our lips
utter, Thy praise. We acknowledge with thanks, 0
Lord, that Thou hast crowned the year with Thy
goodness, and enriched the soil by Thy paths ; Thou
hast given food to the hungry, and satisfied the
fainting soul ; Thou hast filled our barns with corn,
and replenished our stores with abundance of food.
"We remember the days when our winter was
approaching, and fear and trembling seized us; then
the sower went forth mournful, afraid lest his toil
should be fruitless, we all dreaded the impending ca-
lamity. But if Thou didst abandon us for one short
!moment, Thy mercy is everlasting. Thou hast
heard the groans of the afflicted, and commanded de-
liverance throughout the land. Thou hast visited the
ground and watered it ; the earth hath renewed her
youth , • she hath brought forth her produce and
yielded her fruit. Sorrow hath fled, and joy is come
in its place ; every animated being exulteth and
shouteth aloud.
" What now shall we speak before thee, in behold-
ing Thy wondrous works, 0 Thou who art perfect in
knowledge ? Behold, Thou hast not done unto us
according to our sins, and not requited us according
to our iniquities ; but Thou hast had a father's com-
passion on us ; Thou bast been true to the established
laws of the harvest, and remembered Thy faithful
kindness, which is everlasting, seeing that we are
helpless and beings of flesh.
" Merciful and gracious God ! as Thou hast done
wonders, even so continue Thy mercy unto us ; let
not Thy kindness depart, nor Thy covenant be re-
moved; let us enjoy the goodness of Thy earth. May
every man go forth to his task rejoicing, and carry
home the fruit of his labour. May peace flourish in
the land, may every heart be moved to benevolence ;
may love and truth meet, and righteousness and peace
kiss each other ; to the joy of every upright man, and
for the well being of Thy people, who wait for Thy
salvation from Zion. Amen."

PRAYER TO BR SAID AT THE SEPHARDIM SYNA-

*OGEE, ON SABBATH, SIXTH OF HESHVAN.
(Composed by the Rev. D. Meldola, Presiding

Rabbi.)
" 0 Lord ! the God of the whole earth, the Lord
of llosts is Thy name ; Thine eyes are continually
upon all Thy works, and Thy mercy extendeth to all
Thy creatures. Thou art the Maker of all, the Sup.
porter and Upholder of all things. It is Thou that
givest corn and food to preserve them alive. Thou

hast prep3red of Thy goodness for every living thing
a sufficiency of provision to feed them, that each may
have an allowance of food ; for Thou art the Preserver
of them all.

" We acknowledge, 0 Lord God, that our trans-
gressions have justly withholden good things from
us ; and for this was the earth stayed from yielding
her abundance. For, 0 Lord, we have transgressed;
we have rebelled against Thee. But Thou savest
them who trust in thee. To Thee belong mercies
and forgiveness : and, therefore, hast Thou looked
upon us in our afflictions, and hest not despised the
tears and prayers which in the day of straitness and
trouble we offered unto Thee. As the eyes of ser-
vants look up to their masters, so we sought
Thee; and in the infinite benevolence of Thy cha-
racter Thou hast mercifully rewarded us.
Thou hast spared us in not bringing upon us a
recurrence of the evils which, because of our sins,
we had too much reason to apprehend, but hast turned
our sorrow into joy ; for Thou hast heard the voice of
our supplications ; Thou hast renewed the vigour of
the earth—hast healed her breach—hast removed her
sterility—and hast caused her again to bring forth
abundantly, so that the land is no longer desolate.
" 0 Liord Most High, we come into Thy presence
to praise Thy name for this Thy mercy. How great
is the beneficence which herein Thou hast shown
towards us. Thou bast put forth Thy hand to deliver
us from the evil arrows of famine. From Thy heavens
Thou hast sent a plentiful rain upon all lands, and hest
caused the healing sun to shine upon them. - Thou
hast poured Thy spirit upon the seed of the field and
Thy blessing upon the offspring of the earth, and bast- -
caused it abundantly to yield its stores for the suste-
nance of Thy creatures.
" And now, 0 Lord, through Thy great kindness,
the floors have become full of wheat, and the people'
of all lands rejoice, wherefore Thy name shall be blest
in the great Congregation; we will praise Thee, for
though Thou wast angry with us, Thine anger is
turned away, and Thou dost comfort us."

LEEDS, OCTOBER 16.
STOCK EXCHANGE.—The pressure on the Money and
Share Markets continues with unmitigated violence, and
while Consols are down to 81% sellers for the Account, Shares
are almost unsaleable. The price of Midland Stock yes-
terday was 101% to 102, Brightons 38% to 39, Manchester
and Leeds (now Lancashire and Yorkshire) nominally 5
dis., but at this unprecedentedly low quotation, buyers are
not to be met with. The sales are—East Lancashire, Quer- '

HULL, OcroBER 16.
STOCK Excutstau.—The transactions during the week
have been exceedingly limited, and although the trading
interests of the port have hitherto maintained their ground,
and show great firmness, it is impossible to form any correct
estimate how far they may indirectly be affected by the ruin
and devastation that is taking place in the City and other
large places. Men of capital feel much indisposed to go into
really good investments even at the present ruinous sacrifice
to holders ; and, as if to enhance this indisposition, the
directors of the Birmingham and Oxford Junction have
caused writs to be served on those shareholders who have
failed to make good the last call. Considering the whole of
the circumstances connected with this company, the measure
is perfect insanity. The sales are—Newcastle and Berwick,
New, 4s. p.—North British, Thirds, A dis.—Ambergates.

AN APOLLO WHO COULD REND THE HEARTS or
DRINKING GLASSES WITH RIS PIERCING NOTES.
In Auurey's M.S. on Wilts, it is stated that MersentTs,
or Kircher, says, " that one may know what (pignut,'
of liquor is in the vessel by the sound of it, knowing
before the empty note. I have several times heard
great brasse pannes ring by the barking of a hound, and
also by the loud voice of a strong man." (The voice, ",
very strong and sharp, will crack a drinking glass, adds
J. Evelyn.) Mr. Britton says in a note, " I have been
favoured with a confirmation of this note of Evelyn
frc.m the personal experience of my old friend Mr,.
Brayley, who was present at a party on Ludgate-hill,
London, many years ago, when Mr. Broadhurst, the
famed public vocalist, by singing a high note, caused It
wine glass on the table to break, the bowl being sops'
rated from the stem."—The Builder.

[ADVERTISEMENT].—A CERTAIN CURE FOR A rnc-
RANGED STOMACH, ET HOLLOWAY'S PILLS.—Evan Evans, a person
for many years employed in the Dowlas Iron Works, near IderthYr,..
has been suffering for a length of time with so disordered a state 01
the stomach, and had become so weakened in body, that he was fre-
quently laid up for weeks at a time, indeed the poor man was not
expected to rally again at the time he commenced the use of Iloilo"
way's Pills, which, however, to the astonishment of all who knew
him, effected a perfect cure. This is now more than six months
since, during which period his digestion has never once been de-
ranged.—Sold by all druggists, and at Professor Holloway's esta-
blishment, 244, Strand, London.
