*hey belong, goods, the produce of those countries, and to export

NEW SYNAGOGUE, LEADENHALL-STREET.

On Saturday, the 26th of March, 1830, was exhibited
ai the New Synagogue, in Leadenhall-street, the Five Books of
Noses, beautifully written on parchment, and which are coin.
a only deposited in the Ark. The reason we particularly notice
this extraordinary copy of Holy Writ is, to show the extent to
vhich some men of the Hebrew nation carry their admiration and
lure for the Laws of GOD. This specimen of the art, with all its
appendages, is allowed to be unequalled, and the attempt todescribe
it will fall far short of its beauty and magnificence. For taste,
chasteness of workmanship, and brilliancy of display, and the tout
nienike, it may be truly said, there does not exist its equal in the
tini,!ersc.

This beautiful relic is written upon vellum prepared for the pur-
you% and which is sewn on rollers at each end ; these rollers are of
sJlid gold (old standard), the caps are about four inches wide, the
etliva beautifully chased, and, when rolled together, are bound by a
,load silk band, edged with gold, and tied with gold cord and tas-
rls
The whole is covered with a purple velvet mantle or pall,
elegantly and richly embroidered in flowers of gold, raised upon
he velvet, representing the rose, shamrock, and thistle, with fas-
tness, the top of the mantle representing a diadem; the edge is
marounele,l with large geld bullion fringe; on the tops of the
toilers are two pivots, about four inches in length, which re-
evive what are called the bells, made of fine gold, which stand
ant; the sockets fixing on the pivots, represent the two tables
of Musts with the Ten Commandments. The body of these
ikli+ is s menet, beautifully worked ; the border is studded with
brilliatm,tmeralds, rubies, and other precious stones; above the'
eatoi.et h a mitre, supported by angels, on the top of which
(eh lewd in Hebrew characters, " Holiness to the Loan") rest the
cushion, and crown, surmounted by a pineapple richly
awed ;00l worked curiously in gold; the whole is surrounded by a
::n.nbet oi small Lens, which continually tinkle as moved. On the
;font is suspended by a massive gold chain the ephod or breast-
t.i.ee. curiously welled in feeler, and relieved in bright gold; in the
yen:friar: twelve precious stones of immense value (which rept&
s.mt :he twelve tribes of Israel); the plate is surmounted by s large
crown, on the :op of which is the mound, exquisitely ornamented
sith emeralds anti rubies of beautiful colour. The crown is also
4:reeed with jewels of great value a:A brilliancy ; the front stone is a
tine watt', brilliant of large size and great value. There is also sus-
pended by a gold chain the pointer with which the law is read.
This jewel is about twelve inches !ong and is of the finest gold; at
one end is a globe richly worked, rend the other represents a hand,
with the forefinger in a pointi.g direction, and round the finger is a
brilliant ring; the whole length of this jewel is entwined by the
rose, shamrock, and thistle. chased and beautifully executed.
Such is bat a faint description of this inimitable relic, which was
bequeathed by M. L. Levy, Esq. (lately deceased), to his eldest
Km, J. M. Levy, Esq. whose marriage was soleannised some few
days since, on which occasion it was brought to the synagogue to
be consecrated. The whole has since been put up in morocco eases,
lined with white satin and purple velvet, and fitted In a large oak
chest, and has been deposited hr the Bank of England.
