young institution. ss'
Besides this establishment, and the elementary schools

Frankfort Papers to the Ist instant have reached us.
By them we learn, that the Elector of Hansa CAMEL
has issued an orSonnance of considerable importance to
the commerce of his subjects. His Royal Highness,
considering that the indirect taxes were different in the
sieveral Provinces of his dominions, both with respect
to the article taxed, and the amount of the duty im-
posed; that such differences are at variance with the
presint principle, by which all burdens should be
equally distributed, and that they impede internal com-
merce; that the inland tolls usual in several Provinces
are likewise great obstacles to the intercourse between
the several parts of the Electorate, and that it is the
more necessary to insure to the productions of the
country an unrestricted demand for home consum?tion,
as foreign markets are closed against them by the high
duties imposed by their Governments ; the Ex.ecro has
published an Ordonnance abolishing all the ancient
regulations and laws respecting the Excise Licenses,
Customs, &c. and establishing a uniform and more com-
piece system.

Theaacroa bas issued some new regulations for the
religious worship and instruction of the Jews. Some
of the articles are not a little curious :

" The Rabbis, or the Elders of the Congregation, are
bound to superintend the worship in the Synagogue,
and out of its walls. The Rabbis must always appear
in the Synagogues for Divine Service. All private Sy-
nagogues and religious meetings are prohibited. There
shall be exceptions for the old and infirm. The Black
Board shall be suppressed wherever it still subsist:, as
well as all penalties which relate to Divine worship.
The functions relative to Divine Service, such as the,
rite of taking the law out of the ark, the promulgation
of the law, Stc. shall no longer be sold by auction in
the Synagogues.
" The Rabbis and the Elders of the Synagogue (the
first in their discourses) must endeavour to put an end to
the custom of see-sawing during the prayer, and to that
of repeating the prayer in too loud a voice.
,The young
people must be instructed in this respect, and this prac-
tice must be forbidden to the singers, and those who re-
cite the prayers.
44 All profane tunes during Divine Service are prohi-
bited. The ceremony of stalling the isepioas Hainan, at
the festival of Purim, is most strictly prohibited. Chil-
dren below the age of five years are not to be taken to
the Synagogue. All unsuitable pleasantries in which the
young people sometimes indulge in the Synagogues, on'
the eve of some festivals, and on the festivals them-
selves, as well as the distribution of sweetmeats
by the women to each other in the Synagogues, are
strictly prohibited. Some of the religious ceremonies
must be accompanied by a German discourse, on a He-
brew text, in which the meaning of . those solemnities
shall be explained. _Funeral discourses shall not be
pronounced, except at the desire of the family, and for
•
a retribution.

so On the Sabbath a discourse shall be held in German
in every Synagogue, after the reading of the prescribed
passage of the law, and of a chapter of the Prophets."

to remedy an organic defect, he twold not be supposed to have
adopted them for a particular oceadon, as would seem to be meant
by the insinuation thus thrown out. Mr. Osborne disclaimed any
unkind intention on his own part, but on the part of his friend
should maintain his former objection. The greater part of this con-
versation escaped the attention of the principals, but Mr. Forbes
demanding the cause of the delay, was informed of the objection,
and immediately removing the impediment, remarked, that fin his
part he would be content to fight blindfold. The parties immedi-

a fair way of recovery.
