TO CORRESPONDENTS. As we anticipated that the speeches at the Jews meeting last night wou'd possess unusual importance, we made arrange ments for giving as full a report as possible of the chief ar guments broußht forward, and we are persuaded that our readers will not be disappointed, after perusing the speechos, that they occupy so much space in our columns. llittorlrs EU It IV H L r.—We have been requested to correct a mistake of a contemporary, who, in the notice of the con versazione at the Roscoe Club, referring to this gentleman's performances on the piano -torte, uses the prefix Mrs. in stead of Mons. A voter in Everton Ward complains bitterly of the proposed removal of the polling-booth to the extreme south end of the ward as most inconvenient to the voters. BIBLE Soci Kr Y.—We understand that a person signing him self " A Churchman," has written to a clergyman in this town, requesting some information respecting this society. We presume that the correspondent is a friend of thesociety, and he can obtain, we believe, ail the information lie requires by a personal interview with the rev. gentleman, or by fur nishing his name privately. Riberpool &taitharti. TUESDAY MORNING, OCT. 23, 1849. TUE commercial advices by the American steamer are most favourable; the demand for British manu factures continued good, and the orders for which by her are very extensive. The advices respecting the cotton crop are as usual conflicting, one party says • that it is likely to prove larger than was expected. A respectable cotton broker in New Orleans having made a tour through the cotton regions, and surveyed the crops, found the reports of injury which the crops bad sustained much exaggerated, and the season was too far advanced for the boll-worms, &c., to do mischief. Planters were taking advantage of the fine weather, engaged all hands at picking, which accounts for the small receipts, there being none to give ; he estimates the crop at 2,350,000 to 2,400,000. An account, in another column, is, however, very much opposed to this. IT will he seen that a meeting of the clergy gentry, merchants, and others, of the borough, of Liverpool, will be held this day, at the Amphitheatre, with a view to give expression to their opinions in opposition to the proposed in crease of Sunday labour in the Post-office. We trust, for the credit of our community, that it will be so influentially and numerously attended, as to give full weight to the protest to be made against the step. That the merchants and traders of Liverpool estimate at very little their facilities for receiving their correspondence on the sabbath is notorious. Not one firm in ten, as a general rule, ever calls at his Post-ofice box on that day. The great hulk of our fellow townsmen would gladly witness the total closing of the establishment dur ing the sabbath, and the opportunity afforded to its numerous clerks and carriers to attend divine worship, and enjoy God's allotted day of rest. We feel sure that our readers will acknowledge with us, that this measure is a most unprovoked insult to the religious feelings of the nation. Not one great class can he pointed to as having called for any change. We have heard of no agitation for it out of doors; not even a private petition can be produced in its favour. On the other hand, we have seen a most overwhelming amount of public opinion from all classes and all sects, in reprobation of the outrage. Men regard it, almost universally, as a step towards the systematic desecration of the sabbath, and they are fully borne out in this belief by the way in which, throughout, the enquiry was conducted by the Post-office officials. Every ques tion put to the various witnesses examined, be trayed a wish to make out a case. And in almost every instance, the idea of any grievance existing, , was repudiated. We hope, in conclusion, that the people of Liverpool will not show themselves be .bind their brethren in other towns, in their repug laance to this hateful innovation ; but that the meeting will be crowded, and its expression of opinion decided. WE are not as yet in a position to ascertain how • far the constitution of our Town Council is likely to be altered by the result of the approaching No vember elections. Although we may assume that an additional amount of the popular or anti-Pike elements will he infused into the body, it is not as yet ascertained in how many wards the seats will . be contested ; and for some, candidates have yet to be sought. We cannot therefore attempt, this week. any comparison of the respective merits of the various gentlemen by whom appeals will he .-made to the constituencies, and shall reserve the performance of that task until next week. We feel, however, that, without laying ourselves open to any charge of inconsistency, we may deviate from that course in the case of one particular ward —Rodney-street—in which the rival claimants have teen fairly pitted together, and the sentiments of both have been, with distinctness, laid before their friends and the public. At the outset we may remark that we view the contest in Rodney-street with feelings of consider able pain, The gentlemen about to enter upon a struggle in which much bitterness will be engen dered, are on private, as well as public grounds, highly estimable. We have already expressed the pleasure which we should have had in seeing Mr. Algernon Jones possessed of a seat in the council, for which he is in every respect well fitted ; and we should be equally sorry to lose the valuable ser . vices of Mr. Samuel Holme in that body. It is - painful in such a contest to see ranged in opposing ranks the private friends of both parties equally— : men who in past years have fought shoulder to . shoulder together in behalf of the same cause. alig We -know that "divide et impera !"is a favorite por tion of the tactics of the Radical party in our toAn ; that breaches such as these struggles cause are always difficult to hear; and we fear that a time may come when this exciting question of water supply having been settled, we may need all - the unanimity which we may accomplish, in order to carry out other measures equally vital to the best interests of this town and the entire community. It must he borne in mind, that upon one local question alone—that of the Rivington scheme— does Mr. Holme differ from Mr. Jones, and a con siderable number of his friends. Upon the two other important questions—for as such we find that they are regarded by the Equitable Rating Committee, in their report which will he found in Our advertising columns, Mr. Holmc and his oppo nent are perfectly agreed. The present member for • Rodney-street Ward has been uniformly a promi nent advocate of rating the Corporate estate, the efforts made to accomplish which, it will be - -seen from the report in question, have resulted in a concession, made by the Corporation, by which '- nearly £lO,OOO per annum will accrue to relieve the burthens of the ratepayers. He is an equally strenuous advocate of the project for rating the _dock estate for the same object. It may appear to some a desirable thing to get rid, in the person of Mr. Ilolme, of one of the most powerful supporters of the Rivington scheme; but it must be borne in mind that, in doing so, we lose one of the most influential supporters of dock rating, and at the same time a gentleman who brings to bear upon all local questions an amount of information, - business knowledge, and energy, and an ability to present his views intelligibly before the public, which very few of his contemporaries possess. Nor can it be said that Mr. Holme's social ' position falls within the ground of exception urged • by those who would make the struggle upon this question one which is to determine the future pre ponderance in the Council of the tradesmen's or the merchants class. Mr. Holme is himself a tradesman, and an extensive one; and is further bound to the cause of that class, and interested deeply in promoting the best interests of the town by the possession within it of a large property, incapable, like the capital of the merchant, of being removed beyond the reach of the tax collector. A blow struck at the welfare of Liverpool falls heavily upon his back. He is, moreover, a large employer of labour ; and as such bound, as we always see him inclined, to promote the comforts, the social and moral amelioration, and best interest of the working man. There is another ground on which we regret to see the contest in this ward fought a l'outrance. There is a probability, we believe, of the question of water supply, being, after all, settled, upon an impartial consideration of the intrinsic facts of the case, by a competent tribunal beyond the walls of the Council-chamber. An arrangement to hear -evidence afresh, before eminent engineers to he • agreed upon between the contending parties, and whose decision is to be final, is in course of being concluded; . and the preliminary difficulties are, it is hoped, already removed. If this is carried • out with periect good faith; if the advocates of both sides of the question will allow it to be dealt • with impartially, and in a spirit of good temper; the particular views of Mr. Holme can have no influence in the decision. WELSH BISHOP FOR THE DIOCESE OF LLANDAFF. The death of the late Bishop of Llandaff has again brought into agitation the urgent necessity of appointing Welsh scholars to the bishoprics of Wales. That the Established Church in that part of the United Kingdom has, under the administration of English bishops, lost it hold on the affections of the people, is a fact which no one dare deny. So long as the appointment of bishops is in the hands of the government, the remedy fnr this great and growing evil must rest with them. We rejoice, therefore, to find that the Welshmen, who take a deep interest in the religious welfare of the principality, are preparing memorials to Lord Johr Russell, praying for the elevation of some good and patriotic Welsh clergy man to the vacant see of Llandaff. We cordially hail this movement and wish it triumphant success. A public meeting has been held in London, at which a memorial .to the Premier was adopted. The Welsh clergy residing in Yorkshire are preparing a similar ad dress ; and we understand that the Rev. David James, 6- Kirkdale, who represents the feelings and sentiments of the Welsh residents in Liverpool, is in communication with several influential parties and members of parliament on the same subject. If the Welsh church is to be pre served, let it be governed by prelates who unders: a and can speak the language of the country. WEST DERBY WARD:-MEETING LAST EVENING. A meeting of the electors of %Vest Derby Ward was held last evening at Marshall's, Edgehiil Coffee-house. The club-room, a rather commodious apartment, was well filled with burgesses known to be opponents of Mr. Lawrence, in favour of whom the meeting had been called. After waiting for the commence ment of the proceedings for some tune, the meeting opened in a rather unexpected manner. Mr. W. Earle, accompanied by Mr. Geo. Holt, Mr. James [lrassey, Mr. B. Jones, and one or two other gentlemen, entered the room • as they with some difficulty made their way to the upper end, the keen eve of Mr. Earle caught that of Mr. Hardy, who was sitting at the table, and immediately addressing the latter in an angry and abrupt manner, Mr. Earle demanded whether he was a friend of Mr. G. H. Lawrence. Mr. Hardy, naturally stung by the extraor dinary tone and gesture of the interrogator, instantly exclaimed, " What is that to you ?'' Mr. EARLE contended that he was a friend of Mr. Lawrence; and as the meeting was one exclusively of that gentleman's friends, he (in the same vehement manner) ordered Mr. Hardy to quit the room. _ _ _ Mr. HARDY refused to obey the inv.ndate, called 11r. Earle an insolent fellow, and asked " why he had singled him (Mr. H.) out." Mr. EARLE replied that it was not the first time he had had occasion to single him out. A short skirmish here ensued between the two gentlemen, amidst general confusion. . . . . Mr. GASKELL, who had been called to the chair, interposed to explain the object of the meeting. Mr. WIIATHAM wished to ask the Chairman whether the meeting was to be confilied to electors or not ? Mr. EARLE, perceiving the object of the question, inter rupted the speaker. Mr. WHATHAM persevered in putting the question. Mr. EARLE, however, succeeded in stating that the meeting was called by the friends of Mr. G. Fl. Lawrence. He was not only a friend but a relative of that gentleman's, and, moreover, lie considered be had a right to be present as the whole estate of his family was situated in the ward. Hereupon a discussion took place between Mr. Holt and Mr. Whatliam, and others of the two parties, as to who had a right to be heard. Mr. WHATHA m repudiated the attack and imputation of his being opposed to Mr. Lawrence, and asked that gentleman's friends to wait until in his conduct they should discover his partizanship. Mr. HOLT objected to the business being opened under such circumstances, and requested all those persons opposed to Mr. Lawrence to leave the room. Mr. JAS. BRASSEY seconded the proposition. It was not, however, put to the chair, and Mr. Lawrence's friends, some half dozen in number, were constrained to leave the room in possession of the other party. Mr. WHATiIAM was immediately called to the chair. He regretted affairs should have taken such a turn, and showed that it bad been his intention to have opposed no obstruction to the proceedings, had the minority thought proper to have carried ont their views. He then read the resolution which lie had brought there with the intention of putting it to the meet ing; it was as follows: " That the municipal electors of West Derby Ward, now as sembled, entertain a high opinion of the character and abilities of Mr. G. 11. Lawrence, and being deeply sensible of the zeal and assiduity with which he has laboured for their advantage during . the twelve years he has represented their ward in - Council, hereby express their sincere regret that the opinions entertained by that gentleman, on the two important matters which now agitate the town, are, in their belief, so opposed to the best interests of the burgesses at large, that they cannot, consistently, solicit the renewal of his services, and are com pelled reluctantly to seek another candidate, whose views on the points eferred to are more in unison with their own." This resolution was proposed by Mr. Luigi', and seconded by Mr. FRANKS, and carried unanimously by acclamation. Mr. FIARDY supported it in a brief speech, in the course of which, he assured the meeting of Mr. Henderson's determina tion to stand for the ward. Thanks were given to the chairman and three cheers for Mr. Arthur Henderson. ST. PAUL'S WARD. Last night, a meeting was held at the New York Hotel, in Union-street, to promote the return of Mr. Godfrey. Mr. M`Guffie was in the chair. Mr. Godfrey delivered a lengthened address, which was well received, expressing himself favour able to dock rating, and opposed to the Pike scheme. As to cot tageproperty, Mr. Godfrey said that:such would drive the tenants into the workhouse, or out of the town. He thought with Mr. R. Gladstone, that the rates should berevised.—The Chairman, in returning thanks, said he would wait to oppose Mr. Briscoe in 1851. LATEST INTELLIGENCE. (ny EXPRESS.) . HEALTH OF THE QUEEN DOWAGER. STANMORE, MONDAY, 11 A.M. Her Majesty the Queen Dowager, we regret to learn, con tinues in a very critical state. The following bulletin has just been issued:— " Her Majesty the Queen Dowager has had a bad night, and is not quite so well this morning." NEWMARKET HOUGHTON MEETING.

LONDON MONEY MARKET. YESTERDAY. The English stock market is steady to-day. Consols opened at 92* to 4, and the first transactions took place at 924 both for money and account. No variation has since occurred beyond a slight advance in the rate for time bargains, and they are at present quoted 92* to # for cash, and 924 to j for the 14th November. The Three per Cent. Reduced mark 90; and 91 ; the Three-and-a-Quarter per Cents., 92* and 4. Bank Stock, 1974 and 1984. Exchequer Bills are Is. lower, having been negotiated at 435. and 465. prem. LONDON SHARE MARKET.-YESTERDAT. The share market this morning is steady, at about the same quotations as on Saturday, with not much business stirring. Great Westerns are rather heavy, as sellers predominate; numerous transactions have taken place at from 50 to 51. London and North• Westerns and Midlands maintain former rates ; the former were last done at 110, and the Midlands at 45} ; South-Easterns at I 7 ; Brightons, at 701; York, Newcastle, and Berwick shares are not quite so firm as on Sa turday. LONDON CORN MARKET.—YEsTERnAy. The supply of Wheat at market this morning by land car riage samples from the near counties was larger than of late, and the conditions of many of the samples being affected by the late moist weather some difficulty was experienced in making sales at a reduction of Is. per 9uarter upon white, and Is. to 23. per quarter on red Wheat. New Foreign Wheat was also Is. per quarter cheaper, but old maintained its value. Eng►ish Barley comes more freely to market, and barely sup. ported last week's rates. Old foreign, for grinding and distil ling purposes, was the turn dearer. Oats were in fair request at the quotations of Monday last. Beans and Peas were un altered in value. small F I ELD CATTLE MAR KET.-YESTE RDA Y. The very choicest descriptions of beasts are not abundant, these consequently find purchasers, but 3s. 10d. is an extreme quotation. Of inferior kinds a larAe number remain unsold, andvery low prices taken for those that were sold. Some of the choicest downs have made 48., but the instances are rare; long•woolled Sheep are selling at very low rates. Calves are not so plentiful as of late, but so few are wanted that prices are no better. Trade is very bad for Pigs. EXAMINATION OF MASTERS AND MATES.—At a meet ing of a board of examiners, held at the board-room, No. 8, Exchange - alley North , Capt. James King, late master of the " Gardner," of Londonderry, was found duly qualified for a first-class master's certificate ' • and Mr. Philip Bennett , late chief officer of the " Swan," of Liverpool. was likewise qualified of a second-class master. CONCERT HALL, LORD NELSON STREET.—Mr. Milne and the Misses Smith appeared last evening at the Con cert-hall. The programme was well made up, and the singing was in good style and taste. A further opportu nity of noticing Mr. Mtlne'sperformances, will, no doubt, incline us to detail his merits at the length they appear, from what we have already seen, to be entitled to. • MR. SCATES' CONCERTINA SOIREE.—The qualities of this instrument, of which Mr. Scates has, more th an an y other professor, developed the beauties, will be brought before the public at his concert on Thursday evening next, to be held at the Assembly-rooms, in Great George-street, on which occasion he will be assisted oy his talented lady, Mr. Case, and Mr. Lake , wit h Miss Cubitt, (fro m Lon don,) Miss Wliitnall, Miss Stewart, (from Londou,) Mr. Geo. Buckland, Mr. J. Robinson, and Mr. Hime. The Programme is most excellently selected, and we anticipate a great musical treat. EXCHANGE WARD.—REQUISITION TO MR. MUM.— The requisition which this gentleman has received from the electors contains the names of 214 voters. The feel ing on 'Change being so marked in favour of Mr. Tyrer, it was not deemed necessary to obtain more than 54 names to the invitation, so that the remainder (viz. 160) are tradesmen. This, we believe, is the largest number of names ever obtained to a requisition in this ward ; and what renders it still more gratifying is the fact, that it embraces men of opposite political opinions to the candi date ; thus shewing the high opinion Mr. Tyrer has won from the electors generally, after six years' representation of the ward. Mr. Tyrer's election may, therefore, be considered safe ; but his committee are busily engaged on his behalf, and are adopting active measures, which must render opposition perfectly fruitless. THE LIVERPOOL STANDARD. THE JEWS' MEETlNG.—(Cantinued from page 5.) 1 impartiality ; and 1 cannot :doubt that yertir lordship's I spirit will be the spirit of every Christian person present. ' It is, indeed, one of the glorious things of that common faith which we are all so anxious to proclaim to Jew and Gentile, that, in love to Christ and dutiful allegiance to his Sovereign sway, there is a principle of Christian unity which can never be destroyed, except by the renunciation of Christianity itself, and which ought never to be for gotten in the midst of those innumerable diversities of sentiment which must necessarily exist in the minds of those who do not blindly follow human leading, but ven ture, under God, to examine and decide for themselves. And, in proportion as this Christian principle is active within our souls, we shall be able at once to hold fast whatever, after patient investigation, we sincerely believe to be true, and also to give a patient and candid hearing to others, who may differ widely from ourselves, but-who, as the servants of Christ, have an equal right with our selves to form their own judgments, and whose Christian and temperate statements, if they be pondered by thought ful minds, whose highest object is the attainment of truth, court do us good, because they will either correct us or confiim us. It was the true opinion of St. Paul, that the novice, of all men, was the most likely to be lifted up with pride •, and it is the common observation of mankind, an observation, my*Lord, which you must often have had opportunities f making during your long resi dence in a scientific University, that they who have taken pains to sound the depths of science, are far humbler men than they who possess that dangerous thing—a little knowledge. And the reason of this is clear. To have sound knowledge upon any subject, implies the having man who best knows the deficiency of his own experience, will always be the most patient in making charitable allow ance for the difficulties of others. My Lord, I believe that I differ from some, whom 1 am now addressing, though I agree with others, in my views of the manner in which the common object which has assembled us here this evening is to be accomplished. I wish, therefore, to state at the outset, that nothing which I shall say this evening is intended by me, either in language or in spirit, to savour of personal controversy. I speak as a member a a society which, in its published rules, professes to desire and promote nothing more than the conversion of Jews to Christianity. It has never put forth any confession of faith respecting future events of prophecy : it has never bound down its members to think alike on any Jewish subject, except that it is a blessed thing for a Jew to become a Christian. As a member of such a society, and having for several years listened with much pa tience, though without conviction, to the strong state ments of many of my brethren in Christ, who have thought themselves bound in conscience to deliver, on this platform, sentiments with which I could not con scientiously agree, I respectfully claim the privilege, this evening, of being allowed to state, as briefly and distinctly as I can, and, let me repeat, without the slightest inten tion of provoking any personal controversy, the views which, in common with many other warm friends of Jew ish conversion, I have learned from God's word, respect ing both the duty of proclaiming the gospel to the Jews, and the interpretation of those ancient prophecies, on which, in practically carrying out the object of this society, the Christian missionary will be compelled to express some opinion, if he intend to exercise any influence upon a Jewish mind. My lord, I shall say but little this even- 1 ing on the scriptural duty of attempting the conversion ' of Jews. It rests on the universal fact, that " all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God." It rests on the blessed truth, that " God is not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance." It rests on the unrepealed command of Christ, " Go ye into all the world, and preach the gospel to every crea ture." These three grand arguments for attempting the conversion of Jews—their sinfulness, which leads to mi sery ' • the wish of God for their salvation ; the command of Christ to offer them the gospel—are so completely con vincing to me, that if I were to adduce others, I should certainly produce no additional conviction in my own mind ; nor do I believe that any man, upcn whose mind these are not binding, will ever attempt in earnest the conversion of either Jew or Greek. But, my lord, I am quite aware, that the Christian mis sionary, when he offers Christ's gospel to Jews, must be prepared, not only to preach the gospel, but to answer, to the best of his power, those objections, which, if unre moved, may prevent them from receiving the gospel. However much he may wish to confine himself to a sim ple announcement of the truth, which saves, he will [ practically be obliged to declare his sentiments on the great Jewish question of National Restoration to Pales tine. He cannot avoid this ; and it is to the manner in which I he should speak on thi 4 subject that I shall limit the re mainder of my observations. For the sake of clearness, T will arrange what I have further to say in these two simple divisions—first, ought the Christian Missionary, from the New Testament, to sanction the expectation ? ! And, secondly, ought the Jew, from the Old Testament, to expect it? And, if, in returning an answer to both these questions in the negative, I shall unfortunately run I counter to the prepossessions of some in this meeting, I feel sure, that, as my only object is plainly to state my I own views on this portion of Jewish Missionary work, without the slightest wish to condemn those who may dis agree with me, I shall meet with that Christian cour tesy and attention which I have never myselfrefusedtoothers The missionary of the New Testament cannot ensourage the Jewish expectation of a national restoration to Pales tine, because the New Testament asserts, that God's national covenant with the Jews had vanished away. I look to its pilot history. I find that it was originally made between God and Abraham, as the father of the Jewish nation. It was successively confirmed by him with Isaac and with Jacob. It was solemnly ratified at the base of Sinai, when Moses sprinkled with blood the Bock of the Covenant and the people of the Covenant. It was again , ratified, before Moses's death, on the wide plains of Moab, with the promised land in view. It was then graciously enlarged, so as to be called the Covenant besides the Covenant. Again, under Joshua it was ratified, with awful sanctions, between Ebal and Gerizim, the mounts of blessing and cursing. Again, when Solomon had built a temple for Jehovah, it was ratified upon Mount Zion. Again, after a dark period of idolatry and apostasy. it was ratified under Josiah, when the lost covenant-book was found, and its words of joy and fear were read by the monarch in the ears of the repentant people. Then came the deserved days of captivity. and punishment, under Babylonish tyranny. But the covenant had not yet vanished away : for the times of the Messiah had not yet come; and no new and superseding kingdom of God had been set up in the world. And so, when the limited pe riod of captivity had passed, again, and for the last time, was the covenant ratified, when Ezra read the Lord's book from his pulpit, and the returned children of Israel entered once more into an oath and into a curse, that they would faithfully observe Jehovah's commandments. But, my Lord, the Christian missionary, having so far traced the history of the Jewish covenant in those sacred records, is obliged, by the plain declarations of the New Testament, to assert, that that first covenant is now no longer in existence, and cannot, therefore, be appealed to by the Jew. For what says the New Testament cf that Jewish covenant?—" If that which is done away_ was glorious, much more that which retnaincth is glorious." And again—" In that he saith, a new covenant, he bath made the first old. Now, that, which decayeth and waxeth old, is ready to vanish away." And once again— " He taketh away the first that he may establish the second." My Lord, the missionary of Christianity, with these words of inspiration in his memory, must not, I think, encourage the Jew in his expectation of a national restoration, inasmuch as that national covenant, by which alone the restoration can be claimed, is now done away, taken away, and vanished away for ever. But I must also observe, that the Christian missionary, in his conver sations with Jews, will think their notion of a restoration to Palestine inconsistent with the very nature of that Christianity, which it is his blessed privilege to proclaim to them. For, if the Jews are to be restored, one of two 1 things must take place: God must restore them, either as Jews or as Christians. Now, I reject at once, and, I think the vast majority of Christians will reject With me, the idea, that God will restore them as Jews :. for to suppose that God's glorious promises can be fulfilled to those, who refuse to acknowledge his own Son, as the true Messiah, ap pears to me too monstrous to be generally believed. But, can they be restored, as Christians, in consistency with the very nature of the gospel. My lord, the Christian missionary has read in his New Testament, that, in Christianity, there is neither Jew nor Greek :. that, where as, under the old covenant, the Jews dwelt alone, and were not reckoned amongst the nations, in. Christianity, ender the new covenant, eves)* wall of separation has been thrown down by Christ. He has read, that Jeru salem is no more a holy place, where men , ought specially to worship. He has not forgotten the energetic emphasis of the greatest Christian apostle, and will not easily be lieve, that " imperfection' will come leek, that " beg garly elements" will be restored, and te. the " yoke of 1 bondage," which was " done away in Christ," will he re imposed by God. He cannot find a place in Christianity. whether in Palestine or in England, for altars, and the blood of bulls and goats, and the ashes of heifers, and a gorgeous temple for God's especial residence, and pass overs, and priests. The Sun is in the Christian firma ment. The shadows have passed away : for the true light now shined'. And. therefore, the Christian mis mionary, anxious to win souls to Christ, in my humble judgment, instead of teaching a restoration to a typical land of departed types, will rather seek to engraft that ancient people into the olive tree of God's Catholic Church, and so make them Abraham's seed, and heirs, according to the promise. But, my lord, the min ister of the New Testament is a successor of the Apostles of Christ. He will naturally, therefore, enquire into the manner, in which those Apos tles, in preaching to their Jewish countrymen, quoted the Old Testament Scriptures : and he will discover, that, if he allows prophecy to point to Jewish Restoration to Palestine, he will at once discard that prin4sle of pro phetic interpretation, which the Apostles themselves have adopted. under the teaching of God's Spirit. For he will find t. James quoting Amos, to prove, that the planting of Christ's Church was foretold in prophecy, " as the re building of David's fallen tabernacle, and the restoration of its ruined walls." He will find, St. Paul quoting Isaiah, to shew, that, by Christ's coming, " the barren woman had rejoiced, and had inherited the Gentiles," and that so his giorious prophecy had been fulfilled in that "Jerusalem, which is above, which is the mother of us all." lie will find the same apostle quoting Hosea, to shew, that the Messiah, by planting Jew and Gentile in one Christian Church, had accomplished the prediction, that, in the place, where it was said to the Jews, "'e are not my people; there they should be called the children of the living God." The Missionary, 1 say, will remember this general apostolic canon of Old Testament interpretation, and feeling, therefore, that inspired apostles, who had themselves been Jews, so understood their own scriptures, as to believe, that christianity had richly fulfilled the pro phecies of Judaism, ho will not venture, (at least I could not,) to sanction any system of prophetic exposition, which, however it might persuade Jews to embrace a sort of Judaized Christianity or Christianized Judaism, would. at the same time differ, foie reile, from that mode of apostolic interpretation, by which, under God's blessing, even Jewish priests were - converted to the faith. But. my lord, up to this point, I have said nothing, which ought to convince a Jew. For anything that I have yet spo en, the New Testament may be to him the specious history of an impostor. I have simply stated, for myself, that a careful perusal of the New Testament records would pre vent me, if I were a Christian Missionary to Jews, from giving any christian support to their hope of national restoration. But, my lord, if I have not trespassed too long on your kind patience, suffer me to say, that an at tentive study of the Old Testament Scriptures has con vinced me, that a National Restoration to Palestine ought not to be expected by any Jew, who acknowledges the authority of his own sacred writings. He ought not to expect it : because the definite marks of chronology arc plainly against him. The passages, which he cites most triumphantly to prove the future glories of his nation, are precisely those, which are inseparably connected with the chronological signs of the past. He bids us listen to Isaiah, and to expect, that Jehovah will again assemble the outcasts of Israel and the dispersed of Judah ; but Isaiah tells me, that, whenever that event should come to pass, the Philistines should be overthrown, and Edom and Moab subdued, and the children of Ammon van quished. He bids me again listen to Isaiah, and to be lieve that " the Lord will have mercy upon Jacob, and will yet choose Israel, and will set them in their own land." But I examine his quotation for myself, and I find, that his own prophet informs me, that a proverb against the King of Babylon wes to celebrate that Na tional Restoration, and I cannot, therefore, demand it of the future. He assures me, from the same prophet, that Israel is yet to be saved with an everlasting salvation, and that nations in chains are to make their supplications in the dust, before the monarch people of the earth ; but Isaiah tells me also, that this glory was to be procured by Cyrus, and the breaking of Babylon's gates of brass w s to be the harbinger of that return. He brings Zechariah to convince me, that the land of the north will send its Jews to Palestine; t hat the dispersion of the fourwin ds of heaven will again become a nation, and that Jehovah will again inherit Judah and choose Jerusalem. But I 'ask Zecha riah for whom he meant the encouragement of his pro phecy ? And he replies : For Zion, who was dwelling with the daughter of Babylon. He bids me recollect. that Jeremiah promised that Jehovah would gather his Jews from every nation and from every place of their cap tivity ; but then Jeremiah also declared, that the accom plishment of seventy years was to be the date of God's promised mercy. My Lord, Ido not say that chronology , is poetry, but it is true and useful : and it ought, I hum bly think, to prove to every logical Jewish mind, that the restoration of the Jewish nation, hewever it may be brought about in God's providence, by the influence and efforts of Rothschilds and Montt fibres, ought not to be expected by the Jews as an accomplishment of the prophecies of Jeho vah. But, supposing that these stern chronological diffi culties could be got over, there would still remain, as I respectfully submit, an unanswerable objection to Jewish restoration derived from the very nature' of the Old Tes tament prophecy, when that prophecy has reference to the destinies of nations. This objection arises from the fact, that, according to the plain declarations of God himself, his national prophecies were never intended to be uncon ditional, and, therefore, were never to be considered as fated to be literally accomplished. I learn this from the I positive assertion in the eighteenth chapter of Jeremiah's prophecies, where Jehovah declares, in the clearest lan guage, that however he may prophecy either national evil or national good, he retains in his own hands the power of repenting (to use his own divine expression) of either the evil or the good, which, by his prophets, he had pre dicted. And, in perfect consistency with this sacred canon, I find, in the Old Testament Scriptures, a variety of predictions, which never have been, and, in the very nature of things, never can be accomplished. I find Na than, the prophet, predicting to David, that Israel should never move from the land of Palestine : and I know that they were removed;' and I know that the removal was afterwards accounted for by an explicit assertion that God's prophecy was not unconditional. I find Micah, the pro phet. predicting, as a punishment to the rebellious Jews of his day, that their city should become heaps; but I find also, in Jeremiah the prophet, that that very pro phecy of Micah, the Morasthite, is quoted, word for word, only to prove that God had repented of it, and had not fulfilled it. I find the same prophet, Jeremiah, prophesy ing, that the Jews, who returned from Babylon, should also turn to God with their whole heart, and should never be plucked up from Palestine: but yet I know from Ezra and Nehemiah, that they were not all true servants of Jehovah, and I have no reason to doubt that the destruc tion of Jerusalem by the Romans is a credible fact of his tory. I find Jonah, the prophet, prophesying (and it is his only prediction,) that Nineveh would be overthrown in forty days, and yet the appointed time passed by, and spared Nineveh remained an instructive witness to God's (Ought, then, repentance of prophecied destruction. then, the Jew, with this principle of prophetic interpreta tion in his memory, to expect, from prophecy, the tempo ral restoration of his nation ; certainly not. National prophecy was evidently intended by God for national encouragement and national warning. The Jewish nation, according to their own records, neglected the encourage ment and despised the warning : and, unless it can be proved, that the sole obj-ct of God's prophecies was to foretel future events, which were fatally to come true, ir respectively of all conditions and circumstances, the Jews have no right to expect such a fulfilmentof them , as is not at all required by God's own canon of propheticinterpretat ion. But, for the sake of friendly argument, let chronology be dispersed with, and the principle of ancient prophecy be, that everything must literally be accomplished, whether for weal or for woe. Alas ! for Jewish restoration ! What, though as the finger of the Jew directs me, I find it written—that the temple, with all its cedar and vermilion and precious stones, shall be rebuilt; that Levi's priest hood, with all its gorgeous vestments, shall be restored ; that rams of Nebaioth shall yet be sacrificed, with accept ance, on God's altar ; that rivers, not to be passed over, shall flow from the eastern sanctuary, shadowed by unfaded foliage ; and that Jerusalem shall be lighted, not by sun and moon, but by the excessive splendour of Jehovah's glory ? I turn, my lord, with undazzled eyes, (for such religious magnificence will never dazzle the eyes of him who looks at God in the face of Jesus Christ,) I turn from that glowing eescription of a poetic future, and point with my own finger to dark passages of fearful import. I find that ancient prophet, Moses, prophesying that God's destructive curse should rest upon the Jews for ever, and that, " as the nations of Canaan had been destroyed, even so should they be destroyed." I read Jeremiah predicting, from the mouth of the Lord; that his anger and his fury would be poured out upon Palestine, upon man. and upon beast, and upon the trees of the field, and upon the fruit of the ground ; and that it would burn and would not be quenched," I find that it was prophesied by the same prophet, that Judahrs sin was so written with "the point of the diamond, that it had kindled a fire in God's anger, which would for ever burn." And, once again, I find it written in Jehovah's prophecy, that he would ut- ' terly forget the Jews, that he would forsake both them and their city, and that he wortle. " bring upon them an ever. lasting reproach, and a perpetual shame, which should not be forgotten." Alas! my lord, for Jewish Restoration! How shall the Jew feast himself on anticipated national glory, with this Divine sword of prophesied extermination sus pended over his banquet table' It cannot be. Let chrono logy be an ancient fable, and let God's dealings-with man be 1 resolved into Mahometan fatalism : but so long as, in this Jewish garden, the dragon of vengeance guards this tree of prophecy ; so long as no hero can be found to silence that dread voice, and quench those burning eyes of eter nal anger, no Jew may ever dare to touch the forbidden fruit of national restoration. My lord, and Christian friend's, and Jewish brethren, if any such be present, I have now declared, in all honesty and Christian sim plicity, the views which I' have carefully and deliberately adopted as to the scriptural mode of preaching the gospel to the Jews. It is, in few words, to teach them Christi anity as the fulfilment of Judaism. It is to declare to them that that new and better covenant,. of which their own prophets spake, is the gospel of Christ They must make their choice. They cannot have both Judaism and Christianity. They cannot have the type and with it the antitype. They cannot have the rest of Canaan, and with it the rest which remaineth for the people of God. They cannot be at once Wider the law and under grace. They cannot lie in bondage under the elements of the world, and also stand fast in the liberty wherewith Christ has made us free. They cannot worship with slaughtered , beasts on Mount Zion, and also offer spiritual sacrifices of praise and thanksgiving for the Lamb of God, slain from the foundation of the world. My lord. I have not spoken this evening against Jewish restoration. I have spoken in its favour. I would, indeed, restore the Jews I to the true Church of God, to their own olive tree ' for God's church was-once their church. But it pleased God' graciously to lead-that church from childhood to manhood. It pleased him, in his great goodness, to abolish its old' covenant by giving it a new and better one. It pleased him to make temporal promises wax dim in contrast with that immortality and life which Christ brought to light by the gospel. Why, my lord . , should the Jew prefer to. be a slave, when he may be a son of God through Jesus Christ ? Oh !' let him restore himself to that church, which is his. own as well as ours. We will all welcome him as a brother. We will honour him as a true son of Abraham. And while we deny to him any separate right to God's favour, for that would be to dishonour our uni versal Bishop, yet, if he will love God more and serve Christ better, we will all acknowledge, with willingness of heart, his-pre-eminence in the kingdom of God, and his nearer relationship to Christ our Kiag. We are bound to do so,, for he has said, " Whosoever shalldo the will of my Father, which is in heaven, the same is my brother, and sister, and mother." I have been delighted this evening in listening to statements distinct from my own, —(haar, hear,)—because if a mind is simply in search of truth, I know that mine is so in the sight of God. I know that such a mind can listen patiently to every staten.ent which may be made, if it be done in a tem perate spirit, because the effect of such statements must be either to convice him of the error of his views or confirm him in them. (Loud applause.) My Lord, for , the reasons which I have stated,. I am an advocate of the society for the promotion of Christianity amongst the Jews. (The reverend gentleman was repeatedly warmly cheered during the delivery of his address, and en resuming his seat was again very much applauded.) E The Rev. E. BICK RSTETH, in a few observations in the course of which he differed from the views propounded by the Rev. Mr. Ewbank, commended the Society for Promoting Christianity amongst the Jews to the warm affection of all Christian people. A vote of thanks was then unanimously passed to his Lordship for his kind and urbane conduct in the chair, after which the meeting separated. The following is a list of the collections received at the various churches, on Sunday, in aid of the society s. d.

SOLITE! TOXTETH WARD.—We understand that Mr: W. J. Horsfall will be brought forward to contest this Ward, and that a meeting of gentlemen was held last night to forward his return. WEST DERBY WARD.—We understand that a report has been circulated that it is not the intention of Mr. Arthur I lenderson to contest this Ward in opposition to Mr. G. H. Lawrence. We are authorised to say that Mr. Henderson is determined to give the electors an oppor tunity of recording at the poll their agreement or the contrary with the principles he advocates. FALL FROM A WAREHOUSE.—On Friday week, as Thomas*Bolton was working in the third storey of a ware. house in Neptune-street, and endeavouring to lower by the jigger a small weighing machine from the door, his foot slipped, and he fell into the street. He was taken to the Hospital, where, after lingering for a week, he died from concussion of the brain. SUICIDE.—On Friday night Mr. Thomas Jaegar, a clerk in the employ of Messrs. Tyrer, merchants, com mitted suicide, by cutting his throat, at his house in Oxton. He had been in a desponding state of mind for some time. On Friday morning he went down to the ferry by Stacey's omnibus, on his way to Liverpool, and did not then appear to be so much depressed as usual. He has left a wife and four children. PROPOSED CHAMBER OF COMMERCE.—We are glad to find that the requisition to the Mayor to call a publid meeting for the formation of a Chamber of Commerce, in this town, is already very numerously and respectably signed ; most of the leading firms of all shades of opinion having attached their names to it. We shall have much further to say on this subject next week, but in the mean time we may observe that Mr. Warburton, of the Ex change New's Room, is able to furnish any information on the question. MNEMONICS.—It will be seen that to-day and to-mor row evening Mons. Zaba, a Polish emigrant, and a most intelligent gentleman, will deliver a lecture on the advan tages to be derived from artificial memory, on toe defects of the various systems invented to effect that object, and by contrast on the perfection of his own. When the lecturer delivered his address in London, he was so far honoured as to have the Earl of Harrowby as his chair man ; and in this town it will be seen that he is similarly honoured by two of our leading gentlemen. INQUESTS YESTERDAY BEFORE THE BOROUGH CORONER.—On view of the body of a woman unknown, found on Saturday morning, close to the river wall of the new north docks. She had on a plum coloured cotton dress, and a blue plaid shawl, and had a ring on her finger. Verdict, " Found drowned."—On the body of Richard Evane, aged 18, found on Saturday morning, near the new wall at the Duke's Dock pier. On Friday night he was seen by his brother passing along a plank from the wharf, west side of Queen's Dock, on his way on board the Victoria steam tug, when he fell into the water and disappeared. " Accidental."—On Joseph M'lntyre, who resided in Burlington-street, and died very suddenly, in bed, on Saturday morning. "'Disease of the heart."—On Philip Smith, aged 60. a passenger just arrived from New York, in the ship Philadelphia. He was found dead in his berth. "Disease of the lungs." On Elizabeth Pover, aged 20, a married woman, who re sided with her husband, in Maguire-street. She had gone to bed with a candle burning, and in the night her clothes ignited, and she was so burned that she died same morning. "Accidental."—On the body of a new born infant, which was found same morning, tied up in a bundle. It appeared, from surgical examination, that the child had been born alive, but the cause of death could not be ascertained, and no marks of violence appeared. Verdict accordingly. DEATH FROM A FALL—IRREGULARITY IN THE AT , - TENDANCE OF SURGEONS-AT INQUESTS.—On the body of Margaret Finnighan, aged 79, who had lived in Pleasant Hill-street. On Wednesday she had been in the back, cellar kitchen, which led to the house part by nine stone steps. She went up to the top of these steps, and thence tell backwards to the bottom. She was taken up insen sible, and conveyed to the Southern Hospital, where she died on Friday. This case was of minor interest in it self, but considerable dissatisfaction was expressed by both tho rnt-rmnr a•id inry._ at having' been kent waiting for several hours before the surgeon made his appearance, he having been detained by dissecting two bodies. The coroner told him that he had the power to compel his at- i tendance, but was always reluctant to exercise it. CASTLE-STREET WARD.—Av numerous meeting of the friends of Mr. Avison was held on Friday last, at the Saracen's Head. The chair was taken at seven o'clock by James Fletcher, Esq. Amongst the company we no ticed Councillors Langsdale, Harbord, Woodruff, and. Beckwith, as well as many leading burgesses of the ward, comprising parties of all political creeds. After the chair man had opened the proceedings of the evening, by stat ing the objects of the meeting; Mr. Avison was called upon to explain his opinions, which he did in a very able manner, particularly respecting the rating of the dock and corporation estates, as well as the better administration of the corporation, and his decided objection to go from, home for a supply of water until the local resources had been properly tested. These opinions having been ably supported by the councillors present, and many of the leading burgesses of the ward, it was unanimously agreed that Mr. Avison was a very fit and proper person to re present the ward. During the evening several speakers impressed upon the burgesses not to be lulled to sleep by the opiate now put forth by the Pike advocates, that the water question was near an arrangement, as the settle ment of that important question depended mainly upon the councillors returned next November. After the 'thanks of the meeting to the chairman had been unani mously carried, one of the most numerous and influential meetings ever held in this ward came to a close. ENGRAVING FROM HERBERT'S PICTURE, THE " Ac- CtIMPTAL OF THE SEVEN BISHOPS."—It will be remem bered by most of our readers that, a little above two years ago, a splendid picture upon the above subject, painted by J. R. Herbert, Esq., R.A. was exhibited in Liver pool, by Mr. Agnew, of Manchester, for whom it was ex pressly painted by the artist. Ih addition to the usual private mode of exhibition, the idea was conceived of ren dering it the text, as it were, of a lecture explanatory of the important incident in our history which it depicted. and an appeal to the protestant feeling of our fellow townsmen. A meeting was called, to be held at the Am phitheatre, at which the picture was publicly shewn to the vast audience assembled, and its subject described, from the history of the period,by the Rev. Hugh M`Neile, who was attended by a large body of the clergy of the town. There were few present who will forget the im— pressiveness and thrilling eloquence of that lecture. The painting was similarly exhibited at a public meeting in Manchester, and commented upon in a powerful address. by, the Rev. Hugh Stowell._ In Stockport, the largest building within the borough was filled to hear the same rev. gentleman. Since this period, the picture has been in the hands of S. W. Reynolds, Esq., one of the most celebrated engravers of the day, who has spent nearly three years in producing a first rate work of art. During the past few days, a proof impression has been on view, in the committee room of the Lyceum, for the inspection,of the subscribers. The size is 3-I inches long, and propor tionably high • and the success of the engraver has been complete. We regard it as one of the finest engravings ever produced ; and, indeed, it is thought by some who have inspected it, to boas-effective as the original painting itself. The expression of the audience in the court on the announcement of the verdict, so cleverly conveyed in the original, has been excellently managed by the en graver; and the likenesses of the eleven bishops arefaith fully preserved. The- work is well deserving of being ' prized by those able to secure an impression, not only for its merits as a work of art, but as well for its illustration of one of the most striking passages in the annals. of this protestant country.. DREADFUL EXELOSION. — On Saturday morning at an early hour a most alarming accident, arising. out of the explosion of a steam boiler, took place at the extensive premises known as the Bevington-bush brewery, situate at the upper end of Bevington-bush, rented by Messrs. Halsall, Segar, and Co. The first indication: of the fear ful occurrence was shortly after midnight, when the whole of the north end of the town was alarmed by a loud and continued report, resembling a heavy discharge of artil lery. The police entered the premises, and in a short time they succeeded in extricating two men that were employed in the brewery—Thomas Worthington and William Langton, who were dragged from underneath a load of fallen bricks, beams, and other materials. Wor thington escaped with only a few slight bruises and wounds, but Langton had his shoulder blade dislocated. In a short time afterwards Mr. Segar was discovered under a heap of rubbish, but it was with the greatest difficulty he could be extricated, and this was only effected by taking him through a hole in one of the cottages adjoining the fallen building. His wounds are of a most serious nature. A large portion of the skull had been left completely bare, the scalp having been tarn away. He, as well as the other sufferers, are, however, going on favourably, and no doubt is entertained of their ultimate recovery. The explosion has produced the most destructive effects to the building, the interior being a complete wreck. A number of the cottages near the spot have been shaken to the very foundation, and many of the roofs blown off. Several horses in the brewery stable were saved, though the stable was blocked up for a time:by the fallen rubbish. A labourer, named Maxwell, his wife, and six children, slept in an attic and were completely covered with the roof. Maxwell himself had his shoulder hurt, and his wife was also injured, but not set iouslj : the children all escaped unhurt, with the exception of one little fellow, who had his leg wounded in descending the staircase. No opinion can yet be formed as to the cause of the accident. The boiler, which was of five horse-power, and had been in use for about three years, was considered a strong one. and the engine was not at work when the accident took place.
