THE following account of the afflicted condition of the Jews in Damascus is contained in an extract of a letter from the Rev. W. B. Lewis to Dr. Naudi, inserted in the London Jewish Expositor. Beyrout, Nov. 1, 1823. I find I have but little time to tell you of the sad news which has arrived from Damascus about the Jews. Suffice it to say, the man who held in that Pachalic the high office of prime minister, as well as the high priest, and upwards of twenty of the principal Jews (some say double the number) have been thrown into prison, and it is required of them, by order of the grand sultan, to pay the enormous sum of 40,000 purses or to die. An apostate is made prime minister. Mr. Wolff wrote to me this day week upon his arrival at Damascus as follows:-'The Turks began to shout when this news arrived there, and they said, smiling, Grace to the Lord; a curse over Raphael Farkhi, their Hakam; a curse over all the Jews, their fathers, mothers, grandfathers, and grandmothers, their children and their children's children.' He writes further, 'I went this afternoon into the Jewish street, and thought at least to find the nephew of the high-priest Rabbi Abulafia, but even he was put in prison. It was an awful sight, to see weeping women, crying children, old men trembling and praying; in short, I felt what it is to see a whole congregation in mourning, and in a silent mourning and sorrow. The men did not dare to express the sorrow of their hearts, lest it might cost them their heads, but still it was greatly and visibly manifested. They told me the number of respectable Jews put in prison amounted to twenty-four.' to get off his ass, and to run after it on foot, Poor Wolff entering Damascus was obliged whilst the conductor, who shewed him the Mussulman, and it should seem the fanatics of way to the convent, rode. The man was a Damascus are now much incensed against both Christians and Jews. Western Africa. Reception at Regent, of the Intelligence of Mr. Johnson's death. WE gave an account of the death of that eminent missionary to the liberated slaves in Western Africa, the Rev. Wm. Johnson, at p. 365 of our last volume. A late number of the London Missionary Register gives a description of the manner in which tidings of were in tears. The congregation then sang the following hymn:— his death were received by his affectionate || with patience and silent submission to God, people at Regent, most of whom were his who had a right to do as He pleased. Many spiritual children. The power of religion was strikingly discovered on the occasion, in checking the usual violent expression of native grief, while it threw a sacred character over their deep affliction. Mr. Norman writes: In the early part of September, I received information, by letters from the Society,of the death, on the 3d of May, of our dear brother Johnson. When the letters arrived, I was engaged in reading Milner's Church History with the native teachers and the elder boys of the Christian Institution. When I bad read the letters, I informed them that their minister was dead. They were all greatly affected; and espe cially David Noah. The information soon spread over the town; and in a few minutes, our house was crowded with weeping inquirers. I endeavored to comfort them, by telling them that he was certainly taken away for his and for their good-that he had finished his work, and was gone to receive his everlasting reward-that God would not, even now, forsake them, but would still be gracious to them -that they ought to be very thankful that God had spared him so long, while many missionaries had been cut off, in a short time after they had commenced their work-and that the only way in which they could testify their gratitude to God, was by bearing the trial with Christian patience and meekness; and their love to their late minister, by attending to the instructions which he had for seven years given them. I told them to go home, and beg of God grace to bear the trial as became them, and promised to read the letters to them in the Church at evening service. They then begged that I would not leave them. I told them I would not, while I was able to stand up to teach them, unless they were provided with another teacher. In the evening, the church was crowded. Before I began the service, I spoke to them, and begged them not to make any noise: as I knew it was an African custom to cry aloud when they had lost a friend, I told them that the Christian manner of bearing a trial was Dear Refuge of my weary soul! On thee, when sorrows rise, To thee I tell each rising grief, Hast thou not bid me seek thy face? No! still the ear of Sov'reign Grace Thy mercy-seat is open still: Here let my soul retreat; With humble hope attend thy will, And wait beneath thy feet. The passage of Scripture, which came in course for our consideration this evening, wàs John 8:12-19. I dwelt more particularly on the twelfth verse. Afterward I read the letters which had been received. All were remarkably attentive and quiet. We then sang the following hymn, well known and much used among the people, their attention having been frequently called to it by their deceased minister In ev'ry trouble sharp and strong, His comforts bear my spirits up; Loud Hallelujahs I will sing To my Redeemer's name: Knowing the strength of African feeling, I was astonished at the behavior of the people. Not a sob or a word was heard in the Church after service, but all was silent grief. Domestic Entelligence. AMERICAN BIBLE SOCIETY, Eighth Anniversary.
