WILLIAM TARDET, IMPORTANT TO LADIES. THE GENUINE AND POPULAR MEDICINE. PATRONISED BY THE QUEEN. HE highand universal celebrity which ATKIN ' SON'S ROYAL INFANT'S PRESERVATIVE continues to maintain, as a safe and agreeable medicine, renowned for its efficacy in preventing or removing the disorders to which in fancy is liable, affording instant relief in convulsions, flatulency, affections of the bowels, difficult teething, the thrush, rickets, measles, he:ming-Cough, cowpox, or vaccine inoculation, and may be given with safety immediately after birth. It is no misnomer cordial !—no stupefactive, deadly narcotic !—but a veritable preservative of infants ! Mothers would do well in always keeping it in the nursery. Many thousands of children are annually saved by this much -esteemed medicine, which is an immediate remedy, and the infants rather like it than other wise. In short, whether this medicine enters the palace or the cottage, the proprietor feels an honest conviction of its power to assuage maternal pain for infant suffering—to convert that pain into gladness. that suffering into balmy repose. It is equally efficacious for children or adults, in English cholera, spasms, pain into the bowels, and other complaints of the in testines, owing to wind or obstructions in the digestive organs. It is highly recommended by the faculty.

SOCIETY FOR THE PROMOTION OF CHRIS- TIANITY AMONG THE JEWS. Last evening the twenty-ninth annual meeting of the Liverpool Auxiliary Society for the Promotion of Chris tianity among the Jews was held at the Collegiate Insti tution. The lecture-hall was densely crowded by a re spectable auditory. On the platform we noticed an unusually large number of the local clergy, including the following :—Reverends J, Ryan, Dr. Carpenter, 11. Car penter, D. Stewart, A. Thomas, J. Cordeaux, F. Parry, P.

The proceedings having been opened with prayer by the Rev. Thomas Nolan, the local secretary, The CHAIRMAN .proceeded to address the meeting as follows :—Ladies and Gentlemen,—On an occasion like the present, the office of chairman is simple, and easy of fulfilment. He has no stranger to introduce—no novelty ' to commend—no special circumstances to datail, as having originated a special meeting. There is nothing special in the case. It is a prat of our annual routine; the cause is an old and valued friend—(hear, hear)—the cause of Israel, and I may add that one of its advocates at hand (the Rev. Haldane Stewart) is, like the cause, an old and valued friend.—(Cheers.) For the sake of the cause he has been living in our sights • and it is our pleasing pri vilege once. more to witness thei cheering brightness of his venerable countenance, and to hear that cause advocated by that mingled sound of praise and prayer, " - So rarely to mortals given, With less of earth in them than heaven." (Hear, 'hear.) The Jewish cause, in every aspect of it., is interesting and instructive. To be viewed clearly, I think it ought to be viewed chronologically. It presents itself under three leading periods. The. first period may be called the period of local religion and national discipline. The second is the period of national dispersion and degradation ; and the third will be the period of national permanence and glory. The first period commenced with the nation, and terminated in the time of the apostles. The second period commenced in the time of the apos tles . and has not terminated yet. The third will commence when the King of the Jews shall appear in rfis glory—that is, when our Lord Jesus Christ shall return from heaven. In each of these periods there is something deeply interesting, as I have said, and in structive. In the first period, the Jewish nation presents the very best interpreter of New Testament doctrine, and the best teacher of God's dealings with nations. In the second period, the Jewish nation presents a remark able instance of God's preserving care--His watchful love, while it also presents a peculiar subject of missionary exer tion. In the third period, the Jewish nation is the bright est theme of inspired prophecy, with the exception of her King Himself. Although the work we have in hand limits itself to the second period, yet collateral instruction is to be derived from the other ewriod, and net only collateral instruction, but increased interest in-the work now to be carried on. For example : in the first 'period much in struction is to he derived from. the Jewish subject in the interpretation of New' Testament doctrine. Where shall we find a true interpreter for the general principles of the New Testament ? They are easily drawn aside by human ingenuity. Philosophical perversions may easily draw apparent conclusions ,contrary to the truth; and this has been carried •to such an extent, that actually differing and even opposing interpretations are given to the New Testament, each claiming the New Testament for its basis. (Hear.) Where is the umpire ? Is there any umpire ? Not ,in the New Testament : it is a subject of dispute. Not in the writings of uninspired men : they differ from one another—they differ from themselves. Where, then, is an umpire to be foundi . Not in any in fallible tribunal set Alp upon earth. The only attempt ever made to set up such a tribunal has proved practically a signal failure. The only pretence to it in the history of Christendom has been made by the Bishop of Rome, and it has proved a failure:: instead of an infallible interpreter, many of these Bishops have been monsters of iniquity. (Hear, hear, and loud-cheers.) Where, then, is an um pire to be found ? I allege that this sultect now before us gives a true answer: it is to be found in the local religion of the Jews, every particular of which was constructed after a prescribed pattern, the original of which pattern was the Gospel, as lt rexisted in the mind and purpose of. Clod. (Hear and applause.) The Gospel was set before Moses in a pattern,—whether in a vision presented to his mind's eye, or in an actual model, I will not venture to say ; hut, whether vision or model, it must have been so presented as that he was able I to take all its admeasurements—as that he was able to sec, what we now call the working drawings, whereby the Jews, as experienced workmel, were enabled to construct the ta bernacle,—its form, its-eize, its inward beauty, and its out ward covering, together-with all its contents—'the table, the bread, the candlestick,-the altar, the veil, the mercy-seat, the cherubim—all constructed according to its pattern, and every one of them supporting the details-of true Gos pel interpretation, so much so, that any interpretation of the New Testament which will not acco d with that Mo saic pattern must, for that reason, if for no other, be dis carded, (Hear, hear.)'Here is one important point of instruction then to be derived from the Jewish subject; and this might be applied to many other particulars, but an explanation of them would occupy too much time. The early period of the :Jewish subject is instructive, and particularly so at the-present time. The History of -Israel is written for the reading of nations, and there ,you will find that God's dealings with nations are condi tional—that nations, having no existence in eternity, are dealt with in this world, differing in that respect from individuals, who will be dealt with in another world. An individual in this world may be wicked and prosperous , or,it may be, both righteous and calamitous. Now, with na tions thiscannot be. Having naexistenceas nations in eter nity, their judgment as well as probation is visible on earth. This lesson was taught in the history of Israel. The princi ples of the divine government were laid down. They were told that if they obeyed litis voice, and more especi ally, -" if they made no idols, nor graven images, nor reared up a standing image, neither setup an image of stone in their-laud to bow down to it," that, in that case He would "give them rain in due season, and cause the land to yield her increase, and the trees of the .field their fruit, their threshing should retain the vintage, they should eat bread to the full, and dwell safely"—that is, national prosperity was promised to national fidelity to God. And the reverse is,—tbat if they forsook this law, and set up idols in their land, graven images to bow down to them, he would send utter consumption upon them :—" He would consume their eyes and cause sorrow to their hearts, and give their enemies power over them, and they would fall before those who aspersed them"—that is, national calamities should follow upon national disobedience I allege—and I venture to say, without risk, I will not say of contradiction, but of refutation, that this principle is transferable that it is not Jewish only, but that it extends to the dealings of Almighty God with all the nations of the earth. (Hear, hear.) If so, it contains one of the roost solemn lessons which, as a nation, the attention of mankind can be called to—a lessen that has been disregarded by the nations of Christendom. And what is the consequence ? Instead of peace, prosperity, calmness, tranquillity, loving kindness, which should have characterised Christian nations, the history of Christen dom has been a history of war, of bloodshed, of tears, so that but for " the faith of God's elect," it might be won dered indeed if there was such a thing as Christianity in the world at all. And why is this ? Just because this principle has been violated—because idols have been set up, and because the head of man, which should stand erect as it was made, has been bowed down to stocks and stones.—(Hear, hear.) Hence the anger of Je hovah against the nations, and hence the history of Christendom, instead of peace, has been a history of the horrors of war! And now, at this moment, these horrors have not ceased, but are rather on the increase ; and now, at this moment, as if not to be taught by experience —not to be warned by the principle laid down in the history of Israel—not to be deterred by the fearful facts before our eyes —now, in defiance of all things, as if the nation had formed a diabolical resolution to dare the Almighty, our own country, as a nation, makes light of those idols, allows images to be multiplied through the land, laughs at the notion of danger to the country from men bowing down their heads to stocks and stones, and is ready to take into national endowment and support authorised teachers of such idolatry. The Jewish subject, as I have often heard said by some of its warmest advocates, is a Protestant subject, and that is a reason, and a very great reason, why I love it dearly. (Renewed cheers.) Looking at the present period of the Jewish nation, or history, we find what I venture to call a special object of missionary interest ; and I call it special for this rea son—not because that, intrinsically, there is more value in the soul of a Jew than in the soul of a Gentile—not because the Jews are more numerous than the Gentiles, for the contrary is thefact, but I call it special because it has pleased God to speak of this nation during her present period of dispersion, as " the dearly beloved of his soul." " I have given," he says, " the dearly beloved of my soul into the hands of her enemies" ; and therefore while the Jewish nation is pillaged and plundered and massacred by almost every nation of Christendom, still she has been all along " the dearly beloved of God's soul." I speak His own words ; and, whatever period they may be applied to, still it is true that while in the hands of her enemies— whether at the period of the Babylonish captivity, or whether in her present captivity, to which period I think it refers, He still calls her " the dearly beloved of His soul." (Hear.) Upon what other principle can we imagine her preservation as she has been preserved for the last 1800 years ? (Hear, hear.) Without a home— without- a- Government without a Sovereign upon earth—without a parliament—without a president—with out anything th it gives continuity to a nation. but " wan derers 4u4 vagahends upon the lage 9f the earth," yet, strange to say, there is a perpetuity about this nation that baffles all the other nations. (Hear.) Give other nations a home and a government and they disappear, while Israel, without any of these things, continues. A loving father holds her fast ; and if we have imbibed the mind of God we will be followers of St. Paul, " even as he was a fol lower of Christ," and we will cultivate a speciality of in terest for the Jew. The Chairman proceeded at some further length to rest the claims of the society upon the speciality of interest which Christians should take in the conversion of the Jews, after which he concluded by refu ting the statement published in the Mail of Saturday week, and unblushingly reiterated in that paper of Satur• day last. His indignant and eloquent refutation of this misrepresentation will be found in his own language in another part of to-day's Standard. The Rev. Taos.

These words set before us, at once the motive by which all effort in behalf of Israel is originated, as well as the mighty energy by which it must be continually sustained. The signs of the times, which we are commanded to discern, the evil days upon which we have fallen, the wonderons events both at home arid abroad, which hwe been crowded into the brief space of the past year,—all remind us of the duty of redeeming the time. The times of the Gentiles are certainly running on, and run ning out, when no longer shall Jerusalem be " trodden down :" our work meanwhile is with the "remnant according to the election of grace." Souls are passing into eternity, while oppor tunity is passing away from us; each year therefore cries aloud in sterner tones than those of its predecessors, "whatsoever thine hand findeth to do, do it with thy might." In the solemnity of such association your Committee pro. ceeds to report the proceedings of our auxiliary for the year just brought to a close. And first they would rejoice with a disin terested joy over the loss that your auxiliary has sustained, in the removal of their patron, by the well-merited elevation of the Bishop of Chester to the Primacy of all England. They are content to merge their own regret in the universal joy of the whole church, earnestly praying in the Spirit that length of days and happiness, wisdom and usefulness, may be vouchsafed to him from on High, that he may be blessed, as was Abraham, of God, and become the mean of multipted blessing to the church at large. Your Committee are thankful to acknowledge the exceedingly kind and encouraging reply of the present Lord Bishop of the Diocese, to the official application of your Secre tary requesting his acceptance of the office of patron to your auxiliary in th room of his venerated predecessor. His Lord ship consented at once and most courteously, and concluded "sincerely and earnestly praying that the endeavour made for that good endmay bereudered effectual by the :'ivine blessing." There is cause, however, of regret, as well as of rejoicing in the review of our proceedings for the last year. The amount raised by your auxiliary has been less than the sums reported at either of the last anniversaries, although these also exhibit a gradual decrease. This your committee think fully accounted for, by the pressure of extraordinary times, and not by any lack of symp:Div, or abatement of interest towards the cause of Israel on the part of our friends and supporters. To this came, also, it is chiefly to be referred that sonic of the pulpits where always hitherto the cause of the society has been advo cated, have not this year been open to your deputation This unpleasant feature as regarding our funds is necessarily dwelt upon in our report, both because it is the fact, and, in the hope that this mention may tend to obviate its recurrence, and also as it brings in Livercool responsible for its share in that defici ency of ri.4324 7s. 3d. announced in the Parent Society's report for the current year—of this £2384 6s. 3d. is reported under the head of legacies, leaving .e 940 neficient in the item of regular income. Still there is joy and gladness as we allude to the munificent donation of Miss Cook, of Cheltenham, of £l4,o9o—which is not included in the above statement—to be employed in a specified manner for the purposes of the society, viz., for the completion and permanent repair of Christ Church, Jerusalem, as well as for the sapport of its minister, who is to be a missionary of the society : a contribution to the Jerusalem flishoprick Fund, with an annual sum for the purpose of He brew Bibles, Testaments, and Prayer Books, for the use of Jews in Jerusalem and Palestine. The expenditure-of the society has been reduced this year, so as to meet as nearly as possible the deficiency in its income. However we may, upon prudential grounds, approve of this proceeding, it is, nevertheless, deeply to be lamented that any necessity should exist for their doing so. It implies a con traction of the sphere of missionary operations, admission de nied of children to the schools, and students• to the Hebrew College; the abandonment cf the Jerusalem College, and ap pointments postponed to vacant stations; the printing deferred of Bibles, tracts, &c., &c. Yet even here we are not left with out features of encouragement, and full of blessed hope for the future, in the mode by which some of this decrease of expendi ture has been effected; displaying, as it does, the character of so,ne of the labourers in this cause, both at home and abroad. Two of their missionaries at Warsaw and Berlin —the Reverends F. W. Becker and W. B. Wright—contri buted largely towards the expense of missionary journeys in their respective vicinities, which else must have been relin quished altogether. And, at home, one of the oldest and most distinguished of the friends of Israel, a man alike remarkable for the depth of his erudition, as for the devotedness of his heart to the Jewish cause; one who by his labours as a missionary amongst the Jews on the Continent, and by his writings subse quently arid up to the present moment, has been more perhaps than any other living man, honored of God, in bringing .1 ews " to repent and be baptised, calling upon the name of the Lord"; Dr. Alexander M`Caill, principal of the llebrew College, has generously relinquished a very considerable part of a salary, that even were it many times increased would still fall far short of the services rendered by Dr. I'd•Caul to the cause in which we are all so healthy interested. But verity they shall not lose the it reward. The details of the society's labours, at home and abroad, are fraught with the same amount of interest as before. Christ's ChurA, Jerusalem, is spoken of in the last report as being so near its completion, that it may be regarded as finished: some interesting details connected with it, as well as concerning the recognition of the Protestant Church by the Turkish Govern ment, will be found in the appendix to the report of this year. As regards the home operations of the society, in this the Midland District, your co:rmittee are glad to be able to report very favourably. The Rev. A. Thomas, the Association Secre tary, has during the last year preached in fifty churches, where for the first time collections were made in behalf of the spiri tual wants of Israel, and has the promise of about twenty more, where n hopes to find an entrance throughout the coming year. Ile adds his belief, that, but for the melancholy depression that has prevailed throughout this commercial community, there would have been a large addition to the funds of the society from this district. In conclusion your Committee would encourage themselves, their friends, and supporters, notwithstanding all, to " thank God and take courage." They remember that it is not by might nor by power, but by the Spirit of the Lord of Hosts. That Spirit, they believe, will yet he poured upon the house of David and the inhabitants of Jerusalem. Meanwhile they are taught that there is a remnant according to the "election of grace"—they labour, therefore, the more earnestly to "save some of them"—and they are fully persuaded that their labour is not in vain in the Lord. The command is still in force, preach the gospel, beginning at .Terusalein tlwre is encouragement in the blessed hape— " The Lord of Hosts is with us, the God of Jacob is our refuge." They venture to commend once again to the more earnest prayer, and more self-denying support of their friends, and of Christendom at large, a cause that comes before them, sur rounded with so many associations, honoured with such high and holy sanction, and sanctified with so many promises, and so much blessing. The TREASURER. then read a statement of the funds of the auxiliary, from which it appeared that the total amount of receipts for the past year was £679 7s. id., being a slight falling off from preceding years, owing to the bad ness of the times. The Rev. W. POLLOCK then rose to propose the adop tion of the report, the treasurer's account, and the ap pointment of the officers for the ensuing year. In allusion to the title of the society the rev. gentleman said it was of the first importance that they should have a clear and distinct idea of the object they were undertaking„' and being convinced that the name of the society whose anni versary they had met to celebrate, namely, the Society for Promoting Christianity amongst the Jews, truly expressed its meaning he had great pleasure in referring to it, and he believed a name for a society was never more wisely or more felicitously selected. It breathed a faithful hope for Israel, and yet restrained it within the revealed limits of the Divine counsels. It recognised the principle that God had not cast away his people, that they were not beyond the region of Divine favour, but still th 3 means by which a remnant should be saved was by the spread of Christianity amongst them. The very name of the society seemed to imply that whilst the Jews were labouring in the brickfields of Egypt, many an individual Moses was to be rescued from threatened ruin. (Hear, hear.) It was, however, asked, if so much money was spent upon promoting Christianity amongst the Jews, how much did it cost to convert one ? To such a question it might be enough to say that they were not of those who measured duties by results—that wherever they met the command they looked forward to the promises of God, which said in keeping his commandments there was a great reward. But with regard to the Jews they had a specific answer. If they were taunted with having done little, they said, true, they never expected much—they always knew they had extraordinary difficulties to contend with—they always knew that although they might convert the heathen, yet upon the hearts of the Jews the veil was double. They had, however, done enough to prove that the true gospel could not be preached in vain—that the very discouragements they met with were real encourage- . ments, and proved that they were walking in the path of prophecy—that the very ground they occupied was the everlasting ground of truth. (Hear, hear.) But they were taunted with the character of their converts. To this he might reply—if they were professors of an an cient inheritance which their forefathers had forfeited, and if a sion of that house came to their doors, would they not relieve him, and offer to him the best they could afford. That ruined person was the Jew; and who could look upon his ruin without seeing in his fallen state the rock from whence he was hewn, and the hole of the pit from whence he was digged ? Patriarchs aed prophets, kings and priests, apostles and martyrs, all are ours, and however hated for our sakes, yet for the Father's sake all were beloved. The poverty of the Jew is our riches—his casting away our reconcilement, we possess through him all we have, all we are, and all we hope to be. They could not kneel at any footstool but one that he had pressed—they could not lift up their hearts ' in praises without unconsciously giving forth one of the songs of Sion ; and it was through him our pasture was a shady pasture, and through him its fragrance flowed. They could not look upon him without seeing the linea ments of Abraham, with a mysterious Ichabod written thereon.. The rev. gentlem an conc l u d e d a power f u l speec h with reference to the future millennial glory of the Jews, and after proposing the resolution, resumed his seat amid loud cheers. The Rev. J. H. STEWART, on rising to second the mo tion, was received w ith rap turous applause. He said often as he had bee n ca ll e d noon to plead that cause, he had never felt more the need of lifting up the heart in prayer to Almighty God for his blessing than on that occasion. They might not again meet until they met around his throne, and then he should have to give an account of what he had spoken, and they of what they had heard. He could not express the joy, delight, and pleasure he experienced when he saw around him those whom he might call his companions in the wilderness, which reminded him of the wanderings of the Children of Israel, for it was then forty years since that society first sprang into exist ence. (Cheers.) He had joined the society in the first year of its existence as one of its earliest members, and now he could say with heartfelt gratitude to our Heavenly Father, that having received help of God, they continued to that day. (Hear, hear.) Who was there who had seen the society when it first attempted to deliver the Children of Judah from their worse than Egyptian bondage, and now - looked at its position was not ready to ex claim, " What bath God wrought ?" (Hear, hear and cheers.) It was first formed by some young men in London, and (luring the first year of its existence not more than whilst during the pest year ? notwith standing the pressure of the times, the sum of £24,721 had been collected. At first its members, numbered only a few private individuals, now it numbered amongst its supporters, the Archbishop of Canterbury, many of the prelates of our church, and some of the brightest ornaments amongst our peers and members of parliament; but, above all, it was Ares eed over y a nobleman, as eminent for his Christian virties as for his devoted attachment to the cause of the poor —a nobleman whose praise was in all the land—he meant Lord Ashley. —(Loud cheers.) They might adopt the language of Scripture and say, " Kings have been their nursing fathers, and queens their nursing mothers;" for, as they knew the King of Prussia had given a large sum towards the foundation of the church at Jerusalem, whilst our gracious Queen, whom God long preserve, sent out the first bishop —(applause)—thus fulfilling the very words of p ro ph ecy the Lord bath proclaimed from the Isles; or, as it had been rendered from the British Isles, " Say to Sion, Behold thy salvation cometh ; behold his reward is. with him and his work is before him." Besides the Lord bad made the Society usefui by making it the means of first translating the Bible into Hebrew, and there had. been 497 of the seed of Abraham baptised into the Chris tian Church in Palestine, besides hundreds, nay thousa n d s , in all lands, whilst on Mount Sion itself a Protestant Church was erected. (Cbeersp) He could not help be lieving that there was a coincidence between the present , period and the pero.l when Israel of old were aboat taking possession of the promised lard. They had sojourned forty years in the wilderness. This society had been forty years in the wilderness of this world. They had to take possession of the land after conquering their enemies. The Lord was with 'them. Jordan's waters stood on a heap for them to pass over. The walls of Jericho fell down at the blast of the trumpet, and the sun stood still until they were avenged of their enemies. (Hear, hear.) What were now the signs of the times ?• As they all knew Christendom had been visited with such an earthquake as had shaken almost every throne in Europe, and our Lord said, " When these things begin to come to pass, then lift up your heads, for your redempt ion draweth nigh." Had they not grounds to hope that they were drawing nearer that blessed time when a loud voice from heaven should cry, not that the walls of Jericho had fallen, but that " Babylon is fallen, is fallen. (Cheers.) " Hallelujah, for the Lord God Omnipotent reigneth.' • (Hear, hear, and cheers.) What important instruction was to be gathered from the circumstances attending the entrance of the Israelites into the promised land. Mes sengers were sent proclaiming peace, and whoever accepted were saved, so now peace was proclaimed to all the world —they most gladly said to all, make your peace with God, ere that day arrives when the Lord shall be revealed from Heaven, taking vengeance on them that know not God and obey not our Lord Jesus Christ..: They made that proclamation feeling that they were on the conquer ors side. (Applause.) Some there were who, like Eli,. trembled for the Ark ofGod when they saw Popery spread ing abroad. He had no such fears. They would make war against the Lamb, but they that were with him were valiant, and chosen, and faithful, and they knew that the set time was at hand for the triumph of his servants. (Hear, hear, and loud cheers.) The rev. gentleman after alluding to the fact of the Church Missionary Society being about to celebrate its jubilee in a few days, concluded with a solemn appeal in behalf of the Jews, and a pathetic prayer for the happiness of all. present, The Rev. Chairman was about to put the motion, when. the Rev. W. Ewbank rose to propose an amendment, but was interrupted by the chairman, who stated, that as the proceedings had been conducted in the same manner as they had at every anniversary during the last forty years, it was not competent for the rev. gentleman, as a member of the society, to propose an amendment. The rev. gentleman for a short time persisted in his in tention to propose the amendment, but was met with considerable impatience by the meeting, and eventually withdrew from the room. The meeting then passed the resolution, and the pro ceedings continued harmoniously. The Rev. FREDERICK PARRY moved the following re solution, which he read : "That this meeting, whilst greatly regretting the falling off in the receipts of their own Auxiliary, and of the Society gene rally. during the past year, is at the same time thankful to Almighty God for what has been done, and humbly prays for His blessing, who alone can give the increase in men and, means, and openings with success for the year that is in pro gress." He said that he had known the society and its operations for a quarter of a century, and highly approved of its ob jects, while he congratulated those around him on its suc cess. He should not, however, detain the meeting by entering into any details, especially as, after what had oc curred, it was desirable to make way for Mr. Averst, one Of the cleputati on from the parent society, who would afford them some valuable information in seconding the, . motion. (Hear.) The Rev. Mr. AYERST alluded to the political commo tions and convulsions that had been going on in the con- tinent of Europe, and particularised several instances in Prussia, Poland, &e., even where schools had been esta blished, where some Jews had, by a bigoted portion of the people been murdered, and others young and old put to bodily torture. This was done by those who halt adopted the cry of liberty, equality, and fraternity. Yet, even these atrocities, which every man of Christian feel ing must abhor, had been the means of making new openings for the exertions of the society. He ha& himself been in Russia and other parts, where bibles could formerly only be introduced or used by stealth ; but these restrictions were now in a great measure re moved. At Cracow the missionari e s had had much to contend with, and were at one time compelled to leave• the country. At Amsterdam there were 30,000 Jews,. and there their missionaries were now labouring with. effect. At Berlin their labours were still more suecess-.., ful, and they bad had during the past year tiro hundred applications from adults to join the Christian community. Ile instanced many Jews in various parts of great learn, ing and acquirements, who had embraced the truth, and were now zealous preachers or teachers, and he furnished their names. He also told some interesting anecdotes of parties converted from Judaism to Christianity, and on the whole held out great hopes of the success of the society in future, beyond any expectation that had hitherto been formed. The motion having been seconded, was put and unani mously carried. _ _ The Rev. Mr. Nolan then read the following statement of the recent collections made in the several churches here.

Tlie Rev. JOSIAH B. LOWE then moved "That this mecting cannot contemplate the present intensely. momentous state of the millions of the race of Abraham, dis persed throughout the world, and now breaking away from the deeply-rooted superstitions of ages, and falling, some into Rationalism and some i n t o I n fid e li ty, without feeling it more and more incumbent on the Christian Church to strive more zealously and prayerfully to send forth more additional labour ers among them, to make known the truth to them as it is in Jesus, which alane can make them free indeed. He supported the motion in an able and affecting address. It was seconded by the Rev. A. THOMAS, Secretary to the District Association, who also spoke at considerable length and with pointed effect. Mr. NOLAN then moved a vote of thanks to the chair man, for his kind and able deportment in the chair, and. especially for his kind forbearance that evening. (Cheers.) The CHAIRMAN returned thanks for the manner in which they had approved of his conduct, and the meeting then separated, shortly before eleven o'clock. TEN 'TOURS' BILL DEMONSTRATION IN WARRINGTON.. —A tea party, in celebration of the passing of the Ten Hours' Bill, took place on Tuesday evening last, in the rooms of the national schools belonging to the established church. The festivity was on a scale of magnitude which would be deemed large, even in Manchester. The number of persons who sat down to tea, including guests, was nearly 1,000, about 650 being provided for in the girls' school, and the remainder in that of the boys. The com pany consisted of about equal proportions of both sexes, and all were neatly dressed. The rooms were decorated with evergreens, knots and bunches of dahlia flowers, small flags and mottoes. The aspect of the upper room, crowded as it was with its festive party in holiday array, was very fine, and the pleasing effect was in no slight degree enhanced by the jubilant spirit, the mirthful talk ativeness, and the smiling faces exhibited on every hand. The fete was got up and the whole arrangements were conducted by the operatives themselves. DA RING RoBBERY.—A very singular and daring rob bery was effected on the night of Saturday week, at the house of Mr. Joseph Harvey, innkeeper, of Oakamoor, near Cheadle. A number of " navvies" employed on the Churnet Valley branch of the North Staffordshire Rail way assembled at Mr. Harvey's house on the night men tioned, and having drunk rather freely, they commenced a disturbance, and were obliged to he displaced by the police. During these proceedings, it is supposed that one of the party gained admission unperceived into a bed room, where, inside a chest, was deposited £lOO in crown pieces in a bag. The box was broken open, and the thief, in jumping through the window, let the bag drop, when a number of the silver coins rolled out. The inmates, hearing the noise, ran out to discover tile cause, and found upon the ground £2llos. in crown pieces. In formation was immediately given to the police, and bills offering a reward circulated ; and on Monday night, two men were apprehended by Mr. Field and Mr. ilrinslev... constables, of Ashbourne, at the Tiger Inn, in that town, and about £7O in crown pieces ; and other coin, was found in a bag and upon their persons. The two men, who gave their names as James Clayton and William Letts, were committed on Tuesday to take their trial at the en suing sessions of Stafford. Coffee is one of the most powerful means not only of rendering animal and vegetable effluvia innocuous, but of actually destroying them. Voltaire's press is now employed in printing the Bible Society's .bibles ; at Gibbon's .house, which is now an hotel, 4000 bibles have been sold by one of the society's agents; and in Hume's houie the first meeting was hell for the formation of a branch of the. British and Foreign Bible Society, at Edinburgh.
