JEwrsil BENEVOLENCE DURING FAMINE.—In the
year 1559 a frightful dearth prevailed in the south of
France, and the indigent population of Bordeaux were
decimated by hunger. When it was ascertained that
the Israelites of the city had imported a large supply of
corn, sullen murmurs were heard among the people.
" Do you see the Jews?' they said, with a sinister voice.
" The public misery gives them little uneasiness, for
they are rich; and while others are suffering the tor-
ments of hunger, they know well how to procure pro-
visions." • • • • These murmurs, however, soon

changed into benedictions; for, the same day the muni-
cipality of Bordeaux received from the Hebrew com-
munity orders to distribute gratuitously to the poor all
the corn, which had been imported and purchased ex-
pressly for this benevolent purpose. In 1770 a similar
plague was experienced in Alsace, and the despair-
ing population received as a saviour M. Cerfberr, who,
forgetting as an Israelite he had been prohibited from
inhabiting Alsace, provisioned the province, with a
magnanimity which made him unanimously beloved.
M. Cerfberr was awarded letters of naturalisation,
which the King granted not only to him but also to his
descendants. In 1816 a great scarcity of grain was felt
in Berlin. M. L. Bidermann, a Hebrew merchant of
that city, procured a quantity of farinaceous food, and
caused it to be sold at the usual price, under the inspec-
tion of the authorities, and ordered the proceeds to be
appropriated to charitable purposes. By this happy
combination, while the price of food was reduced, the
poor were doubly assisted.—Ben Levi's Matinees the
Suniedi. Translated by A. Abraham, Esq., of Liverpool.
CHILD-MURDER.—Yesterday Mr. Wakley, M.P.,
Coroner, held an inquest at the Gloucester Arms Ta-
vern, Gloucester-road, Kensington, on the body of a
male infant, which was found on the morning of Sunday
last in the inclosure of Thurlow•square, Brompton.
Evidence of the discovery of the body having been given,
Mr. J. B. Guazzaroni, one of the parochial surgeons of
Kensington, deposed to having examined the body both
externally and internally. There was a mark on its
mouth, and the nostrils appeared compressed, as if they
had been squeezed together with the fingers. The um•
bilical cord had been cut, but not tied. The lungs
contained air, and to a great extent were congested.
They floated with the heart, on being subjected to the
usual test. Had no doubt that the child had a separate
existence. It was undoubtedly born alive. It was a
full time child, and thought, from the state of the lungs,
and of the brain, which was also congested, that it had
been suffocated, or had died from exposure to intense
cold. Found nothing abnormal, tending to show that
the child would not have lived had it received proper
at'ention. Verdict—" Wilful murder against some per-
son or persons unknown."

[ADVERTISEMENT]. - SURPRISING CASE OF TIIE
RECOVERY OF HEALTLI BY HOLLOWAY'S PILLS.—Mr. Roberts, a
gentleman residing New-street, Birmingham, had been suffering
for years from a disordered liver, deranged stomach, palpitation of
the heart, shortness of breath, swelling of the hands, feet, and legs,
lowness of spirits, a want of strength and energy, which state of
things was slowly breaking up his constitution. Finding no benefit
from the medical treatment at Birmingham, he proceeded to London,
where he resided for six months in order to consult the most eminent
of the faculty, which he did to no advantage. He then tried these
extraordinary pills, which in three weeks restored him to perfect
heath and vigotir. Sold by all druggists ; and at Professor Hollo.
