PUBLIC MEETING OF TIE JEWS.

A meeting of the Jews was held at the city of
London Tavern on Wednesday night, to consider
an address, voted at a recent meeting, by the bre-
thren resident in London, protesting against the
Ukase recently issued by the !Emperor of Russia.
which imposed severe restrictions on the Jews resi-
dent in a certain part of the Russian dominions, and
expressing their sympathy and compassion towards
the parties subjected to the imperial restraints. Mr.
M. E. Levy took the chair.
The CHAIRMAN having briefly explained the ne-
cessity imposed on every member of the house of
Israel to lift up his voice against the oppressions
threatened in the Russian Ukase, proposed that an
address, which he had drawn up, should be read to
the meeting. The address was then read, which,
after mentioning the promulgation of the obnoxious
edict, declared the deep concern felt by the London
Jews at the direful calamities which the Ukase had
occasioned to their Russian friends, especially to the
helpless widows and helpless orphans, who resided
in the extensive dominions of the Emperor, and
were exposed to the rigorous climate of Russia. It
then deplored the exclusion of the religious functio-
naries, which deprived Jewish families of the com-
forts of religion. And concluded with a declaration,
that it became the solemn duty of the whole house
of Israel to avert such persecutions, which prevented
them uniting once more as a family, and offering
their united devotions to the God of heaven and
earth.

On the motion that the address be approved 01
being put,
Mr. HERRMAN (a German Jew) rose, and pro.
tested against the facts stated in the address.

A JEjir,—We vont hear no more of your nonsense,
sare !—.(Laughter.)
Mr. HERnmAN, however, loudly insisted on being
heard on any 'points he chose to speak to; and,
in order to keep to some point, he asserted
that no Jews were to be found in the interior of
Russia ; and that therefore it was absurd to vote
an address about people who were not in existence.
Mr. COHEN rose to dissent from certain state-
ments contained in the address : and was proceeding
to express his reasons for doing so, when interrupted
by the
CHAIRMAN, who inquired if Mr. Cohen had any
amendment to propose.
Mr. CoHEN.--Yes, Sir, I object to the word
"justice" being substituted before " mercy."—(A
laugh.)
CHAIHMAN.-Vill you propose any written reso-
lution ?

Mr. COHEN made several attempts to write a re-
solution, proposing an adjournment, but he made so
many blunders hi framing his amendment, that the
gravity of the Meeting was overset. At length the
gentleman who silenced the eloquence of 4 pre-
ceding speaker rose, and moved, that Mr. Cohen
should not again address the Meeting. The motion
was seconded, and carried with a loud shout.
The CumumAN.—Mr. Cohen, you are not to
speak any more this evening.—(Loud laughter.)
The oratory of the Meeting having been checked
by the above resolutions, something like decorum
was established ; and the address was read, para-
graph by paragraph ; and ultimately approved of.
After some other business had been gone through,
the Meeting broke up.

The death of the late Rev. ARTHUR YOUNG,
by accounts received from Russia, appears to have been oc-
casioned by fatigue and exhaustion, in travelling homeward
through that country. He had been to the Crimea for the
purpose of selling a large tract of land, to the extent of
9,000 acres, granted to him some years ago by the Court
of St. Petersburgh, in which, we understand, he succeeded.
Mr. YOUNG made his will before he left England, and ap-
pointed Captain Exitaucur and a Mr. PATTERSON,
of Witham, his executors.. His entailed estate, Bradfield-
hall, and other lands, devolve to his sister, Miss YOUNG ;
the greater part of his other property he has left to two
children; now infauts......Suffah.lieralcl.
