EDUCATION

THE ATTENTION of Parents desirous of affording to
their Children an Education in accordance tfith the
increased: intelligence and the wants of the age, ji directed
to an Establishment situated in one of the most' fertile and
healthy counties of England, conducted by a Gintleman who
is a member of a German University of the Wiliest celebrity,
and of several learned bodies. The Coursciof Instruction,
founded on the most approved systems, comprehends the
GREEK and LATIN CLASSICS, the FRENCH, GER-
MAN, anl ITALIAN LANGUAGES, TAUGHT BY NA-
TIVES RESIDING IN THE HOUSE ; the Elements of ASTRO-
NOMY, the various Branches of Pure and Mixed MATHE-
MATICS, GEOGRAPHY, HISTORY, &c.
Impressed with a conviction that no Education can be
complete without an adequate knowledge of modern Lan-
guages, the Principal has made them an essential branch of
Instruction in his School. Having himself resided many
years on the Continent, and travelled much, he is intimately
acquainted with the chief Languages of Europe, and enabled
to superintend Instruction in this important department of
knowledge with no inconsiderable advantage to his Pupils.

Altogether, this Establishment will be-found to afford to
Pupils possessing average talents the certainty of receiving in
it a sound Classical and Mathematical Education, together
with the most assiduous Instruction in the principal Lan-
guages of Europe; so that, on entering one of our Universi-
ties, or some Profession, civil, military, or naval, they may
be competent to engage in more enlarged studies, with un-
usual advantages._

Letters to the Principal of Albion House School, Wor.
cester, will receive immediate attention.

APPEAL TO PUBLIC SYMPATHY
Bpidv,R or THE DESTITUTE UNPAID

BRITISH AUXMLIARIES LATE IN THE SERVICE
OF THE QUEENS OF SPAIN AND PORTUGAL.
THE heartrending distress and persecutions to which the
unpaid British auxiliaries have been exposed from four
to six years, whilst attempting to recover their arrears of
pay, after having effectually assisted to place the Queen of
Portugal on her throne, and to prevent the Queen of Spain
from being dethroned, has led the Right Honourable the
Lord Mayor of London, and the four following bankers as-
senting to receive subscriptions in their behalf—Messrs.
Smith, Payne, and Smith, Lombard-sereet ; Messrs. Drum-
mond and Co., Charing-cross ; Sir Maude Scott and Co.,
Cavendish-square ; London and County Bank, il, Lombard-
street. Some idea may be formed of the sufferings which
have been and are still being endured, when it is considered
that from £500,009 to £600,000 are due to the claimants.
It is earnestly hoped that the British people, so ready at all
times to sympathise with the distress of foreigners, will not
be behind-hand on the present occasion in coming to the
rescue of their own countrymen, the victims of treachery
and fraud, after having generously expended their resources
and risked their lives in the cause of freedom and humanity.
It is confidently expected if public sympathy responds gene-
rously to this appeal, that the claimants will not only receive
temporary relief, but will succeed in ultimately obtaining the
most ample redress. A printed account, with a lithographic
illustration of their misfortunes, may be had, gratis, at Gar-
diner's, Princes-street, Cavendish-square.

PERSECUTION OF THE JEWS IN THE EAST.
AT a SPECIAL GENERAL MEETING of the EL-
DERS of the HEBREW CONGREGATION of LI-
VERPOOL, held at the OLD SYNAGOGUE CHAMBERS,
Frederick-street. on TUESDAY, the 30th June, 1840, con-
vened for the purpose of taking into consideration the Pro-
ceedings of the Board of Deputies of British/Jews, in London,
on the subject of the Persecution of the Jews in the East,

E. S. YATES, Esq., Sen. Warden, in the Chair,
The several Communications and Documents, received
from the Board of Deputies, as well as the Resolutions of
the General Meeting, held in London, on the 23d instant,
having been read,
It was resolved unanimously,

That, from the information -conveyed in the documents
now read, this Meeting learns with feelings of theA/knest

regret, that the Jews, at Damascus, have suffered as* es~of
heartrending acts of oppression and torture, in consequence
of most false and wicked charges promulgated against them—
charges at once improbable in their nature, and at variance
with the fundamental principles of our Holy Religion.
That, placing a full reliance on the unerring wisdom of
Divine Providence for protection to the Innocent, it is, ne-
Vertheless, the duty of every friend of humanity in the civilized
world, to sympathise in the afflictions of our brethren in the
East; and, in the endeavour to rescue them from the fangs
of the ,oppressor, to obtain indemnity for the past and secu-
rity for the future. •

That, with these sentiments, this Meeting hails with
heartfelt satisfaction the prompt and energetic measures
adopted by the Board of Deputies of British Jews in London,
as well as by the General Meeting of the various Congrega-
tions held there on the 23d instant. ,

That this Meeting considers ihe 'selection of Sir Moses
Montefiore to represent the British Jews at Alexandria most
judicious ; and, impressed with a lively sense of the devotion
and zeal which has actuated him to accept so important and
onerous a trust, record their grateful acknowledgments to
him, and offer their fervent prayer to Almighty God for his
protection, and a successful accomplishment of his mission.
That the Members now assembled do cheerfully co-operate
with their fellow Religionists in the measures needful for
carrying out the great objects in view ; and, in furtherance
thereof, resolve, that a Subscription be forthwith commenced,
and invite all the Members of the Congregation to aid the
general fund by their contributions.
That this Meeting warmly concurs with the London Con-
gregation in their expression of thanks to their fellow-coun-
trymen of every denomination of faith, for the sympathy

evinced in our cause, and the cause of suffering humanity.
That a copy of these Resolutions, signed by the Wardens,
on behalf of the Meeting, be forwarded to Sir Moses Monte-
fiore, President tof the Board of Deputies, in London, with
a remittance of he amount subscribed.
(Signed) ELLIS S. YATES
Resolved unanimously

Sen. Warde

That the warmest thank's' are due, and hereby offered, to
the Sen. Warden, for his promptitude in convening this
Meeting, and for his impartial conduct in the Chair.

THE SHRIEVALTY OF LONDON

(Prom the Morning Herald of yesterday)
At nine o'clock the supporters of Mr. Galloway began to
poll briskly ; but at no period of the day did the polling for
him at all appear to be formidable. Mr. H. Pritchard, the
edtpinon jravp, on the Tart of Mr_ nallnway, a

written notice, that all votes for Mr. Farncomb were of no
avail, as that gentleman was ineligible, not being free of the
city. At two o'clock the polling ceased, when, according
to the judgment of seven gentlemen who kept regular ac-
counts of the votes, the numbers were—

For Mr. Gibbs (C.)
Mr.Farncomb (C.)
Galloway (R.) 697
Mr. Potter, the secondary, then adjourned the hall till
this day, when the poll-books will be examined. The return
will be made on Friday to the Court of Aldermen.
We believe that it is the intention of the friends of Mr.
Galloway to make a formal protest against the return of Mr.
Farncomb, upon the ground that that candidate was not a
freeman of the city when he was put in nomination by the
Lord Mayor, and to demand that Mr. Galloway should be
returned with Alderman Gibbs. Those who support Mr.
Galloway contend, that if the Court of Aldermen refuse to
accept of the substitution of Mr. Galloway for Mr. Farncomb,
they will be compellable by a mandamus from the Court of
Queen's Bench ; while the friends of Mr. Farncomb are of
opinion that should there be any weight in the objection
made to the return of that gentleman, the whole affair must
come before the public in the shape of a new election.
We have reason to know that if the declaration made by
Mr. Galloway on the day of nomination that he could not
serve with an alderman, had been supposed to be insincere,
the majority in favour of Alderman Gibbs and Mr. Farn-
comb would have been upon the second day's polling so great
that a very decisive retreat would have been accomplished
upon the part of the " liberal" candidate.
It is said that Mr. Farncomb had his reasons for not be-
coming a freeman. The fact is that if by any chance Mr.
Galloway's and his names had been above the other names
on the poll, Mr. Farncomb could, if he disliked the associa-
tion, at once get rid of the obligation to serve, without pay-
ing the fine, by pleading that be was not free.
It is said that the opinions entertained by the law autho-
rities of the City are conflicting upon the subject. Some
think that Mr. Farncomb, not being a feeman, becomes a
nonentity in the election, and that Mr. Galloway must be
returned with Alderman Gibbs ; while others declare that
by all the laws of shrievalty elections if the objection to the
return of Mr. Farncomb be considered valid by the Court of
Aldermen, the livery must do their work again.
