Yearly Nubscription : In Advance, Iss. On Credit, 17s. TUESDAY MORNING, NOV. 23, 1847. IT is impossible to peruse the address, which has just been presented by the Jamaica House of As sembly to his Excellency the Governor, or to glance over a recent file of West India papers, without being impressed with a feeling of deep commiseration for the sufferings of one of the most cruelly persecuted, and yet, still, one of the most loyal, classes of her Majesty's subjects. At the same time, the conviction is strengthened by every arrival from these colonies that, whilst to all persecution there must be a limit, viz.—the power of the persecuted to endure further,—that limit has now arrived. The House distinctly, yet respect fully, impress this fact upon his Excellency, in the address before us. Not only must the planters cease to cultivate their property, unless placed in a position to import with a profit into the British markets, but they must cease, from utter inability, to contribute to the local burthens, and to support the machinery of the Government. We intimated, in our last, our fears that the con cession made by the Colonial Secretary to the planters, of permission to supply themselves with labourers from Africa, had come too late ; and that, unaided by some measure of protection, temporary or otherwise, the impoverished West India body would find themselves unable to avail themselves of the boon thus offered. Upon this subject the address of the House of Assembly comes at a timely season, and speaks very decidedly in the following passage : " in our struggle to continue cultivation since the period of emancipation, we have anxiously sought assist ance by immigration from various quarters, and especially from Africa; but the time has now passed when immigra tion can much avail. Unless attended with other and instant remedial measures, the cultivation of our staples must be abandoned, and the great body of the emanci pated people themselves must cease to find employment. " We are anxious now, as we have ever been, to pro vide a revenue, to support the institutions of the colony, and to maintain the peace and order of society. Acting in this spirit, we shall continue the Revenue Laws to the end of the ensuing year, in the hope that ere the ter mination of that period, adequate relief will be afforded by the parent Government. • " We regret, however, to feel ourselves compelled to state to your excellency, that the raising of such revenue must bear oppressively on a suffering people. The amount will certainly fall short of that of former years, and can not possibly be sustained beyond the period stated. So far as our declining resources will permit, we beg to assure your excellency of our readiness to attend to the several objects to which you have specifically alluded, and also to such messages as your excellency was pleased to submit to our consideration." We have no doubt that, by that flippant Libe ralism which has ever set itself in hostility against the interests of our Colonists, and by the spurious humanity mongers, to allay whose outcry against slavery, the British West Indies received the first blow which has finally prostrated them, this inti mation of the planters will be treated as a mere hruturn fulmen. In the eyes of these men, whose sympathies are only with the emancipated negroes, it will appear as an immaterial question whether or not the sugar cultivation is continued in Jamaica. The sacrifice of a few millions worth of the pro perty of their fellow-subjects, and the destruction of the British West India body will he regarded rather with gratification than otherwise. But, the result of such cessation of cultivation—the inabi lity of this body to contribute further to the local burthens of the Colony—involves a further ques tion, which, if they have ever been sincere in their desire to promote the permanent amelioration of tho condition, and the ultimate civilization of the African race, cannot be lightly regarded by them. A great portion of the local imposts with which the planter is burthened, is devoted to the admi nistration of justice, and the preservation of order Within the Colony. Roads have to be kept in re pair ; a police and prisons to be maintained ; churches and schoolhouses for the religious and secular teaching of the emancipated negro popula tion, to be supported. Withdraw the contributions now paid for these objects, and for the general government of the Colony, by the impoverished planters of Jamaica, and the whole negro popula tion, from the effect of whose increasing civilization so much was anticipated, must inevitably fall back into a condition little better than their original barbarism. The great experiment of emancipation, which was to have proved the possibility of the cultivation of the tropics by free labour, will have received its last crushing blow, amidst the trium phant exultation of the abettors of slavery through out the world. The oasis of the wilderness, from whoseprosperity was to have gone forth an example and a voice which would strike the fetters from the slave in every land—the free soil, upon which was to have been nurtured in Christianity and enlight enment a race of pioneers, before whose missionary labours barbarism, in their own vast continent, would have fallen prostrate—must become a barren waste, and a stumbling block, for ever, before the feet of the philanthropist who seeks to carry the blessings of civilization to the negro race. Well had it been then for Africa—well for the sacred cause of humanity—had England never officiously put her hand to a work which she had neither the virtue nor the steadfastness to carry out ! But, if we were even warranted in presuming that the Jamaica planters exaggerate the difficul ties of their position, and that, under ordinary circumstances, they might have been enabled to avail themselves of the tardy concession made to them, it is clear, from the last advices received, that temporary circumstances, caused by the ope ration of the seasons upon Colonial agriculture, utterly forbid our entertaining any such hope, unless some aid, more potent and immediate than the permission to import free labourers from Africa, be afforded them. We quote the following remarks upon this part of the question from the Jamaica Despatch of the 23d October ; and we entreat, in behalf of them, the dispassionate attention of every lover of justice, irrespective of his political lean ings :- 4 The disastrous results of this, the first year of free trade, have had their due effect upon a people unprepared and unable to meet the losses which they have entailed. With energies paralysed by annual revenues, and blunted by, the obstinate infliction of an imperial policy against which they had in vain protested, it was impossible that the planters of Jamaica could any longer keep their ground against difficulties which were only aggravated the more they complained and remonstrated. With all their capital exhausted, without credit at home or abroad, with a de creasing market and increasing expenditure, it would be little better than madness to continue cultivation, as heretofore. An abundant harvest has resulted in increased loises, whilst an almost universal drought has destroyed all prospect, even where prices uninfluened by external causes, of a profitable harvest for the year 1848. These combined influences have led to the very general determination of suspending cultivation. Drought has prevented the estab lishment of a spring plant, and necessity has withheld the, putting in of a fall plant. The crop of nevi year, there fore, will be confined generally to the taking off of such canes as remain on the ground, and future years will see a decreasing production until export shall cease alto gether, unless meanwhile the cloud shall have passed from before the eyes of our rulers, and we shall be deemed once more worthy the protection of the mother country. " It is confessed, on authority which Government at least cannot dispute, that we have ' a strong case' for re lief. We are not so mealy-mouthed as to be afraid to pronounce the word upon which alone our existence de pends, and to which the strong case which is admitted irresistibly entitles us. If British people in England are sensitive on subjects which form the hobby' of the mo ment, British people in Jamaica are not less sensitive on the subject of those inherent rights which affect their permanent welfare. It is protection, and protection only, which can save us : n o t th a t we dreaml of restoration of the prohibitory system, but that a distinctive duty equal to the difference between the relative position of the Foreign and the British colonies must be imposed upon the foreign article as the only alternative between colonial production and a colonial wilderness. " We are quite alive to the difficulty in which ministers have placed themselves ; but we are in no degree respon sible for it. If, in defiance of our remonstrances and our ptotests, they have placed themselves, with the v i ew o f obtaining a momentary popularity, in a position which leaves them no alternative but to allow these colonies and their institutions to fall into irretrievable decay, or to change their whole policy with respect to them, they, and they only, are responsible. The session of 1848 must de cide for them this important question. Half measures will no longer do. We must be placed in a position to compete effectually with the foreigner, or we must sink. P ar tial redress will be as bad as no redress at all. A loss of one pound upon a ton of sugar will as effectually put a stop to cultivation as a loss of six pounds. The remedy, therefore, must be a sovereign one, or the time of parlia ment will be wasted." We can add nothing to such evidence as this, coming, as it does, from parties perfectly conver sant with the condition of the Colonies for which Nye have to..legislate. We leave it, therefore, for the present, with Out 6oiiiment, for the consideration , Qf our readers, THE question—" what is to be done with Irish men in Ireland," has perplexed every successive administration for the last fifty years. One states man after another has undertaken the task of repressing the turbulence and ameliorating the political and social condition of the population of that singular country. Each has boasted of the efficacy of his own particular nostrum. Coercion, persuasion, the removal of civil and religious dis abilities, Arms Acts, and Corporation Acts, have been tried in turn ; and all have alike failed in producing either social regeneration or peace. — Strike high, or strike low, threaten or coax, adopt an energetic or a lax policy, the cry has still come from the great body of the Irish people, that we were in error—that the doctor for the time being did not understand his patient's ailments. Begin at what end we might of the social scale—at the landlord's end or the peasant's—the priest's or the layman's—we were still told that we had begun at the wrong end ; and we have not, as yet, after all our experience, arrived at any very satisfactory conclusion as to where we ought to have begun, or in what direction ournext effort must be made. One of the most striking features which present themselves to us in thin Irish difficulty, is the fact of the continually changing character of the evil to be surmounted. The patient is at one moment raging in fever, and in the next wasting in atrophy or in apparently a hopelessly lethargic state. Now he is clamouring for Repeal—for a native Parlia ment in Dublin, and release from all connection with the Saxon, He proclaims his perfect health and strength, and demands to be permitted to walk alone. In another year we find him sullen and idle, demanding from the same Saxon the food which he sturdily refuses to raise for himself. Yesterday his complaint was a political one ; to-day it is a social one—a complaint of empty cupboards and clean swept barn yards, dear meal, and rotted potatoes. To-morrow we may find` it turned into a religious one ; and so on to the end of the chapter, if it is ever to have an end. Doubtless, we shall, by-and-by, be enlightened with respect to the na ture of the Russell specific. But, we must confess that we have little confidence in the result of any prescription, from such a quarter, at all calculated to assuage the aggravated symptoms of the present Irish malady. We may again be asked to feed a people who will not work ; but we have little hope of those firm and stringent measures which can alone render life and property secure in that coun try—the effectual muzzling of such priestly incen diaries as Archdeacon Laffan, and the wresting of murderous weapons from the hands of a peasantry who only wield them for the purpose of assassi nation. But we have another Irish difficulty now - forced upon us, which presses nearer home upon those who possess what has always been considered the good fortune of residing on this side of the Irish channel. We refer to the difficulty of arriving at a solution of the question—" What is to be done with Irishmen in England, and more particularly. in Liverpool ?" For the last few years the inhabi tants of the large towns throughout England have been endeavouring gradually to devise means of cure for the local evils which have been caused by the settlement amongst them of the labouring poor of Ireland, and to protect the public health and morals from being depreciated by the filthy and turbulent habits which seem to be inherent in the Irish character. Millions have been spent, and are being spent, in enforcing cleanliness upon them ; in ventilating and draining the filthy streets in which they herd together. Ask, in any town that you enter, to what quarter the exertions of the authorities entrusted with its sanatory regulation are especially to be directed, and the answer will be—to the Irish quarter. Ask •of the medical officers of any of our hospitals, infirmaries, or dis pensaries, amongst what class of the population the greatest amount of disease, to be relieved at the public cost, is to be found, and the answer will be—amongst the Irish. Ask in our workhouses what people contribute most abundantly to the amount of pauperism to be maintained by the in dustrious English rate-payer, and the answer will still be—the Irish. Amongst every branch of in dustry the overflow of Ireland's teeming and impro vident population has carried deprivation of comfort for the labourer and the artizan, deterioration of his social character, squalid habits, disease, and, as the result, a low average duration of life. With the evil thus forced upon us, however, we might, ultimately, and at an inordinate expense, be enabled to cope. We might repair our past neglect of its rapid accumulation. But how are we to deal with the influx of confirmed vagabondism. and crime which we see at present systematically and designedly directed to our shores ? How are we to keep back the hordes of destitute and irreclaim ably vicious outcasts which the arrival of every vessel from Ireland lands upon our quays, bringing fever and filth in their train, and satisfied to seek shelter in hovels condemned as unfit for human habitation ? These people do not, as heretofore, come amongst us to seek for remunerative employ ment. There is no prospect of such employment, for some time to come, sufficient to provide for the wants of our own industrious poor. They do not even, directly, come to throw themselves upon our parishes, and thus enable us to put in force the provisions of the law, by sending them to their own country. They seek, on the contrary, only an alternation between mendicity or pilfering in our streets, and confinement in our gaols as its punish ment. They have learned how to make their pre sence amongst us a permanent infliction ; and, if they have not driven a coach-and-six through our Acts of Parliament, designed to keep them at home, they have found out what, to them, is a very satisfactory mode of treading through their meshes in their native brogues. We cannot go the length to which some of the members of our Select Vestry have gone, as will be seen from the report elsewhere of the interview of that body with the magistrates, on Thursday last, in attributing the success of Irish imposition to magisterial apathy in carrying out the existing laws. We sympathise, certainly, with those who have to administer the parish funds, and with those who have to pay towards them. We see sufficiently that the Vestry are utterly incapable of grappling with the difficulty which is presented to them. It is all very well to say—put in force the full rigour of the Vagrant Act ; apprehend and imprison every person found begging in our streets ; punish se verely every case of theft committed to procure its perpetrator a temporary asylum in our gaols. But the answer to this is—where are we to find gaol accommodation ?—where the means of affording a sufficiently severe labour test, for the swarm of incorrigible impostors with which we are daily in fested ? " Within a given space last year," as stated by Mr. Rushton, at the meeting on Thurs day, " the summary convictions of Irish, for petty thefts, amounted to 350 or 360. For the same period this year, and since the passing of the act for sending them back to Ireland, the number has increased to 888." Andy with regard to the efficacy of the means used by the Sanatory Committee to preserve the health of the town, under the visita tion to which it is subjected, the evidence, amongst others, of Mr. Earle,. at the same meeting, is suffi ciently significant of the extent of the difficulty to be surmounted, in the effort to prevent the influx amongst our population of a people in whose esti mate of comfort dwellings, not regarded as fit for English pigs to herd in, are considered as patterns of commodiousness and comfort. This gentleman stated that— " There was a row of old houses at the corner of Pres cot-lane, which the Earl of Derby purchased. In that row there was a great quantity of the poor Irish, and one of them wrote a letter to a friend of his. in Ireland to say how delightfully he was accommodated, as there was even a staircase in the house. The Earl of Derby purchased three houses, and in a few hours pulled them down, and those persons who had inhabited them must have sought a place elsewhere. The houses were considered by them as desirable residences, and they would never have left if they had not been pulled down." Most perfectly do we agree with the Vestry in the propriety of the step taken in calling upon the magistrates to aid them in securing for the town some little more immunity than we now possess, from a burthen which is fast becoming intolerable. But there should be no recrimination between the two bodies, as to non-performance of their respec tive shares of duty to mitigate its pressure. Both of them are powerless for any material good, even if united. The evil to be surmounted is one which requires the atte n ti on o f th e L eg i s l a t ure o f th e nationitself. Our local bodies may remonstrate, may state their case to the L eg i s l a t ur e, and must, in self protection, urge it, as one d eman di ng imme diate consideration, unless our tradesmen and the rate-payers of the town are to be invol ve d i n ru i n , and our population inoculated with crime and disease. The demand which the people of Liver pool have to urge upon the consideration of tht Legislature is part and parcel of the Irish question, the solution of which has baffled every successive administration of late years ; and in its settlement Liverpool, above all other towns, ought to have a potential voice. THE LIVERPOOL STANDARD. THE COTTON MARKET. Notwithstanding the general gloom that pervaded our markets last week, that for cotton, on Saturday more par ticularly, assumed an air of firmness which was continued throughout yesterday. Many buyers have been down, although the quantity offering is reduced from what it was some weeks since. The market is well supplied with choice qualities, the business done is at full market prices, and there are no soft places to be found where cash in hand gets a quid pro quo. The sales yesterday are 5,000 bales, 1,500 of them to exporters. It has been remarked, that the decrease of tonsump tion up to the present period of this year, as compared with the last, is exactly 400,000 bales ; and the present stock in Liverpool is something under this quantity,—a circumstance which is worthy of note by the way as con firmatory of the views entertained and ci r culated by some of the leading brokers at the beginning of the year, viz., that should consumption continue in the same ratio during the year, the stock of cotton would, by the end of November, be, non est inventu.c The year has been a memorable one; and its effects on cotton, and every other article of produce, has become matter of history, with which many are too well ac quainted, to their lasting ruin. THE NEW SUBSTITUTE FOR ETHER. Yesterday, at the Southern Hospital,. the surgeons of that admirable institution operated in the two following cases, in which the new substitute for Ether, Chloroform, was employed with great advantage and success. John Mooney, aged 34, was brought to the hospital yesterday morning, at 10 o'clock, with his right hand and wrist crushed by the cog wheel of a snuff machine; the injury was so•severe and extensive as to render immediate amputation necessary. A dram of the chloroform was poured upon a sponge, hollowed out, and the• sponge then placed over his mouth and nose ; in less• than a minute he was- insensible, and the hand was removed without his showing any sense of pain : while tying the last artery he asked whether it was all over, and said- that he had not felt itat all. The second case was even more successful, William Anderson has been in the hospital some days, with severe injury of a finger, and it became necessary to amputate it. The chloroform was applied in the same way, and in half a minute he was perfectly insensible. The finger was removed, and the necessary dressing applied, without his being at all conscious, and ie has not the slightest recollection of the operation. The advantages of the chloroform appear to be its more rapid influence, its. readier application, and the smaller quantity necessary. It is much pleasanter to the patient, and is not so irrita ting by any means to the lungs. Mr. J. P. Teebay, of this town, has been admitted a member of the Royal College of Surgeons. Miss Jessie Hammond, will make her debut at a con cert to-morrow evening. We have heard a most favour able report of her abilities: The Rev. Hugh M'Neile will, we perceive, preach in St. Thomas' Church, Lancaster, on Thursday evening week, on behalf of the schools in connexion with that church. The case in which on Friday last the coroner's jury returned a verdict of wilful murder against some person or persons unknown for injuring ti man who thereby died. is to be heard, as against some of the parties since appre handed, before Mr. Rushton this day. On Friday a child named Philip Cunningham, seven years old, and living in Nicholas-street, was reaching a book from the chimney-piece, when his clothes took fire, and he was so dreadfully burnt that he died on the fol lowing day. We regret to announce the death of Arthur De Butts, Esq., M.A., Fellow of Oriel College, Oxford, and Vice president of the Collegiate institution in this town. The deceased died at Torquay, on the 18th instant, after a very short illness, at the residence of his father, General De Butts, K.C.B. DEATH FROM A NARCOTIC.;-011 Friday night a fe male named Foster, living in Horatio-street, administered to her child, three years old, nearly half a teaspoonfull of laudanum. It fell asleep soon after, and died on Sunday. A verdict of " chance medley" was returned at the in quest yesterday. IMPORTANT DECISION.—It was decided yesterday in the County Court, in this town, that no charge can be made for shipping any British - Sailor on board a British Ship ; nor can anv Boarding House-keeper demand pay ment for any greater length of time than that for which a sailor may actually require accommodation. The system of boarding will in future be by the day, and not by the week. A case involving these points came before Mr. Commissioner Lowndes yesterday.. EXAMINATION OF MASTERS ANDMATES.—At a board of examiners, held on the 9th instant, Mr. Lewis Reid, chief mate of the Mary Somerville, of Liverpool, was ex amined and found duly qualified for a first-class mate's certificate. And on the 17th instant, Captain Albert Betts, late master of the Devon, of St. John's, New Brunswick, and Mr. Charles William Walker, second officer of the British and North American royal mail steam ship Hibernia, were examined and found duly qualified for first-class masters' certificates. MR. TATHAM'S PORTRAIT OF DR. M‘NEILE.—This admirably executed water colour painting, which possesses not only the qualification of an excellent likeness (indeed the best that has ever been painted of the worthy divine), but is replete with all the characteristics that form a pic ture, will remain on view during the present week. Already it has been visited by a multitude of his friends, and we feel satisfied that in recommending our readers to present their cards—which is the only requisite of admis sion—they will be more than repaid in the gratification the will experience. FATAL RAILWAY ACCIDENT.—On Sunday evening, John Bradley, a porter in the employ of the London and North Western Railway Company, forty years of age, went up in a train from Lime-street to Edge-hill, on the top of a carriage. Before the train was stopped, he attempted to get down, when his foot slipped, and he fell between the carriages, and the wheels went over both his legs and the step of the carriage caught his body, and crushed him against the parapet, so that he died almost instantly. Verdict "accidental death." There is a bye law against any one jumping down while carriages are in motion. THE RESTORATION OF • TENPENNIES" THE GRAND SPECIFIC FOR IRELAND.—The "Council of National Safety,', recently sitting in Dublin to consider the state of Ireland, and to propose measures for its relief, as the re sult of its deliberetions, has furnished us with no less than thirty-five different subjects, which must be dealt with by the British parliament before the sister isle can be in a fair way of becoming " great, glorious, and free." Only one of these "recommendations," however, appears to us to possess the merit of novelty. It is No. 31, and runs as follows :—"3l. That we recommend the adoption of a decimal system of coinage, and also an uniform decimal system of weights and measures." After this, who can doubt the effect which would be produced by a native par liament in College Green ? The Irish "tinpenny" would be once more in the pockets of the fine peasantry, and the hated " Saxon shilling" banished from the land. Verily Lord John Russell deserves impeachment if he refuses this grand specific for the cure of Ireland's evils,—" a decimal system of coinage." CHARGE OF MURDER.—About a month ago, a young woman named Ann M`Kenna, went to lodge at a house in Plumbe-street. She appeared to be pregnant, but neither denied nor affirmed the fact. Assistance was offered to her to precure some little articles of dress for the child, but she said she would not want them, as it would not be born alive. On Friday morning she complained of being unwell, and went to bed. The landlady soon after found her standing near the bed, and a female child on the floor, alive and crying. The latter was put into bed to the mother, for whom everything needful was done. The child was heard to cry several times. In the morning the mother said, " My God,, I don't think there is a stir in it," The child was then turned, and was found to be black in the face and bleeding at the nose. No surgeon had been sent for. She had not before said that she felt labour pains. She was a single woman.—Mr. Callan, surgeon, said, that the cause of death was suffocation produced by violence. The coroner's jury yesterday returned a ver dict of " Wilful murder" against the mother, who was committed to Kirkdale. CASE AFFECTING PASSENGERS DELAYED BY VESSELS. —At the Police-court, yesterday, a man named James Casey appeared before Mr. Rushton on his own behalf and that of many other passengers purposing to proceed to America, to claim what is termed subsistence money, for detention on shore after the date when it was stated the vessel by which they bad paid their passage-money would sail. It appeared that complainant and the other passengers had paid their money, and that the vessel, ought to have sailed on Wednesday. She had, however,, been i detained on taking in 50 tons of iron, which set her down in the water, and was found to be leaky, requiring time for repairs, and replenishment of water, which was taken out to lighten her for caulking. She has since been made seaworthy, and will probably proceed to-day ; ' but the court decided that the captain (though not individually to blame) must pay, according to the passenger act, one shilling per day for the four days detention, for subsist ence. The passengers are 220 in number, so that the amount to be paid to them will be £44. SEAMEN'S WAGES CASE.—Yesterday, before Mr. Rushton, eleven seamen, the greater portion of the crew of the la rge ship Coromandel, claimed respectively various amounts of wages alleged to be due to them as a balance. They had all (with the exception. of one) shipped at Quebec for the homeward passage, and, representing themselves as able seamen, at the high rate of £l3 a month. Most of them claimed upwards of £ll, as the amount due. After a very protracted investigation, the magistrate said that nearly the whole of them had grossly imposed upon the owners and captain of the ship ; that they were not able seamen, but many of them, as proved, " useless as regards navigation ;" and that, moreover, they had refused to perform their duty on certain occa sions, as:stated in the log, and thus endangered the property on board, and delayed the ship. To three only (who had shown themselves capable) out of the eleven, he awarded the claim made. The others had received quite enough in the advances made to them, and should not be further paid. One of the crew who had previously received his full amount of claim fro m the captain, appeared as a wit ness, and the captain and another witness having proved that he had, after pocketing the money, threatened the captain's life,_ and used most violent and insulting lan guage, was taken into custody forthwith, and required to find heavy bail for his good behaviour, or to be imprisoned for two months. The whole of the men appeared to be stout athletiq fellows, andwere all well dressed, SOCIETY FOR PROMOTING CHRISTIANITY AMONG THE JEWS. The anniversary meeting of the Liverpool Auxiliary to this Society was held last night at the Concert-hall, Lord Nelson-street. Long before the time appointed for the chair to be taken, both body and gallery of the hall were crowded by a highly-respectable and influential assembly, who received in a most enthusiastic manner the deputa tion and the accompanying members of the clergy, and demonstrated the sympathy they felt in the cause for which the meeting had been convened. Of the clergy there was a more than usually numerous attendance; and amongst them we observed the Revs. T. S. Birks, Dr. M`Neile, R. Davies, C. W. Lawrence, A. Thomas, H. Carpenter, T. Nolan, J. W. Harden, D. Stewart, S. Fenton, W. Rawson, S. Boutflower, W. W. Ewbank, W. T. Marsh, A. Knox, J. Jones, F: Parry, Nixon, W. Pollock, H. H. Higgins, J. Baylee, C. Hamilton, Stogdon, W. Falloon, D. Anderson,' and Hersch ; and among the laity we noticed H. Webster, Esq., T. For syth, Esq., and R. Harbord, Esq. • The Rev. CHAIRMAN first called the Secretary of the Auxiliary Institution, the Rev. T. Nolan, to open the meeting with prayer, after which he opened to the meeting a general sketch of the proceeding& of the society for the past year. The Jewish subject, he observed, was com prised in four heads. The first, a typical subject, em braced the meaning of the Mosaic law and ceremonies. Leviticus might be called the gospel according to Moses ; and whatever doctrine of Christianity did not agree with the gospel of Moses, ought to be rejected. The additions made to this gospel by Romanists and other; in requiring penance,. confession, &c., were not consonant with that gospel. The son of one of his oldest friends—Dr. Marsh —would fill up this part of the subject. It was also a historical subject, conveying a lesson as to the causes of national rise and decline. The Jewish history shows us that when God scourges a nation for her sins, 'tie in the church that the chastisement begins. Upon this subject they might expect that evening sound instruction. from several of the rev. gentlemen around him, and especially from the rev. incumbent of St. Barnabas. The subject was also religious ;• and in this feature the society assumed a missionary character. As such, those employed by it must be men instructed in the mysteries of Judaism ; for they had not to meet with an uneducated people, but, on the contrary, with a people fully informed in and conver sant with the pecvliar points of their own religion. The rev. gentleman drew the attention of the meeting to the object of the society, which was not to deal with the Jewish nation as a whole, but with the elect portion of that nation ; and showed that all that was of Abraham were not included in the original promise, but that a rem nant would be saved, whilst the rest would be outcast, and would continue so, until , the time when God's people would be established in Jerusalem over all the nations of the earth. Whether we agreed with each other on all points in our interpretation of the prophecies, we must not hold back our support from that society, whose object was confined to preaching the gospel to those of the Jewish nation who were willing to , receive it. The rev. gentleman concluded with an eloquent appeal to the Jewish people, warning them that neither admission to civil or political privileges would save them, but only a cordial and saving reception of the blessed truths of Christianity. The Rev. T. NOLAN next read the report, as follows: REPORT; Your Committee, in meeting their friends and consti tuents at the close of another year, find much to encourage, chequered, however, with something to sadden and so lemnize their minds in presenting their Annual Report. Thy have to lament the sad and sudden removal from the midst of them, of a long tride and honoured friend, one of the Vice-Presidents of your Auxiliary. the late lamented Thomas Tattershall, D.D., Incumbent of St. Augtistines. He was one of the earliest secretaries of your Auxiliary, in which, as in every other, capacity most zealously and acceptably did he discharge the duties de volving upon him. He was present at our last annual meeting ; but very soon after, in the midst of his arduous labors, and with the prospect, humanly speaking, of lengthhned days and usefulness still before him, to the regret and dismay of a circle of friends, only limited by the range of a widely extended acquaintance, he was sum moned to his rest and to his rewards Your Committee could not withhold this humble tribute of affectionate respect to the memory of departed worth :—" Blessed are the deadwhich die in the Lord, even so saith the Spirit, for they rest from their labours, and their works do follow them." Nothing to demand an especial notice has occurred within the operations of your auxiliary , during the past year. The cordial friendship of the clergy-is undiminished, and the amounts from congregational collections, con sidering the unparalleled and paralysing depression that has prevailed in the commercial world for the last few months, are quite as much, nay, even beyond what might reasonably , have been anticipated. For all this we desire humbly to give glory to God. We thank , God, and take courage. - It is, however, to the report and proceedings of the parent society that the friends of Israel must be referred for the details of missionary enterprize, including the amount of difficulty that has been encountered, and the measure of success graciously vouchsafed. It is to the Monthly Jewish Intelligence, and to the annual report, we are indebted for the chief part of our information as to the work of the Lord carried on amongst his ancient people. In this view of the subject, then, it is gratifying to your committee to be able to state that the last annual meeting in London was inferior to none of its predecessors, either in the number and apparent cordi ality of those who attended it, in the interesting details that were brought forward, or in the general spirit that seemed to, pervade the entire. A successful anniversary in the metropolis is even of more consequence than is usually supposed; it betokens a healthy state at head quarters, from which remote auxiliaries not unfre quently take tone and courage. The acccunts of the parent society show , an apparent increase in the funds, beyond the amount of last year, of £3264 9s. IW. ; but this, it must be observed, occurs al most entirely under the head of legacies, while the amount received from the auxiliaries, the most important item, that at all events which most concerns us, we regret to add, is less than it has been formerly. There are thirty-four stations reported of the society's operations, whereof four are at home, and the remainder throughout the continent of Europe, Jerusalem and the adjacent region of Syria, in Persia, Egypt, .3t.c. These stations are occupied by ordained lergymen, supported by medical officers, schoolmasters, and tract distributors, many of whom, Jews themselves, are now rejoicing in the faith to which they were once opposed. Accounts are furnished in detail of the proceedings at each station, under its separate head, and in convenient order, so that your committee feels only called upon to mention one or two of the particulars connected with the mission at Jerusalem, in which all Christians must needs be deeply interested. In our lastreport we were happy to announce the con secration of the Right Rev. Dr. Gobat, as• Bishop of Je rusalem, and his departure for the important sphere of his appointed labours. It is with pleasure we are now enabled to report his safe arrival, and auspicious reception : and to add further, that the work of the Lord appears to pros per in his hands. The new Protestant church on Mount Zion, notwith standing much opposition, still continues to advance steadily towards completion, and at the time of the publi cation of the parent society's report, they were able to add (p. 35) the walls of the sacred edifice have now reached their full height, and are now ready for the roof and ceiling." Your committee also direct attention to an encouraging circumstance related ( p. 36) of the conversion of a Jew ish youth,—an Austrian subject. A principle was involved and affirmed in it of the utmost importance, as deciding the cases of all the native Jews who henceforth may be converted. The success of the Hospital at Jerusalem, under the skilful and judicious management of Dr. Macgowan, has more than justified the wisdom of establishing it. One is reminded of the testimony of Pliny the younger to the effect upon the surrounding Pagans, of the first hospitals erected by Christians for the common benefit of all with out distinction, when we read the account given by Dr. Macgowan, in the " Intelligence " for September, of the gratitude of an influential Rabbi from Safet, for the kind and, under God, successful treatment of his wife in our Hospital at Jerusalem, whither he had brought her for medical aid. She was a month under treatment, and at her departure expressed much grati tude for the kindness and attention she had received, as did likewise her husband a strong desire to be cordial and friendly with our missionaries at Safet. These are amongst the encouraging details that go to prove that our " labor is not in vain in the Lord." But in conclusion, your Committee would desire to remind . themselves and their friends, that their duties and obli gations are in no wise to be measured by the amount of success vouchsafed to their efforts. The command, " Preach the Gospel, beginning at Jerusalem," is clogged by no conditions expressed or implied of contingent suc cess, and, moreover, it is upon the simple evidence of faith, the promised blessing is entailed. In this spirit thenlet us encourage one another, to persevere and to pro ceed, not suspending our best efforts, inasmuch as God hath, com manded them, and looking for an abundant blessing, because God hath promised it. Above all, " continuing instant in prayer," for the peace of Jerusalem,, that God would hasten the time of pouring upon the Houie of David and the inhabitants of Jerusalem the spirit of grace and supplication : looking unto Jesus, " the Lord our Righteousness," theirs and ours, in whose days Judah shall be saved, and Israel shall dwell safety.' Oh that the Salvation of Israel were come out of Zion ! 'When God bringeth back the captivity of his people,. Jacob shall rejoice and Israel shall be glad.', The treasurer, Mr. WEBsTEa, then read the statemen t of accounts. The receipts'were for the year in Liverpool £4Bl Bs. lid. and 284 3s. Bd. from the branches. The receipts for the Bishopric Fund were £63 10s. 6d. ; and for divers purposes connected with the objects of the society £164 18s. 10id. ; making a total of £994 ls. 2d. In this amount is included the munificent donation of £5O from R. A. M`Fie, Esq. The above account shews a de crease last year, without the Bishopric Fund of £8 3s. 2 1 d. •, and in the whole receipts without the Bishopric Fund of £147 Bs. 9id. The Rev. DAVID STEWART moved the adoption of the report and the committee and officers for the ensuing year, concluding with a brief but very eloquent appeal to the meeting in behalf of the object for which they were assembled. The Rev. A. H. STOGDON, from the parent society, next addressed the meeting, and commenced by remark ing upon the changed opinions and treatment of the Christian world in favour of the Jews. Aa countries, even Rome itself, were granting increased privileges to them, which, however, it was to be feared might be car ried too far. There was a change also amongst the Jews themselves, a portion of whom were repudiating the traditions of men, and resting solely upon Moses and the prophets. The society's missionaries found them also, .Tir~:~r instead of declining to receive instruction at their hands, and turning away whenever the name of Jesus was mentioned, anxious to discuss the points at issue oetween Judaism and Christianity ; and as a proof of this, the rev. gentleman referred to an assembly of learned Jews, as sembled at present in Berlin, to consider the subject with each other, and gave a list of the points proposed for their consideration. This fact proved at least the existence of a movement amongst the Jewish nation, which might be availed of for good purposes, or which, if left alone, might probably end in establishing among them a system of liberalism or infidelity, instead of that true Christi anity which it was the object of the Society to infuse amongst them. They had engaged in the work from 70 to SO missionaries, in various stations, 40 to 50 of whom were converted Jews. This was consolatory when it was known that at the commencement of the present century, there was but one converted Jew preaching the gospel. Dissenting Christians were similarly engaged also, aided by converted Jews ; and numbers were also engaged as teachers of Schools both for their own people and for Gentiles. The Society had in its schools upwards of 700 Jewish children being educated in the doctrines of Christianity.. In the schools in London there were above 100 and in this country 500 have already been fully educated, and 400 were in course of education. The difficulties ex perienced by the society in these efforts were very great, arid the persecutions suffered by those willing to examine into the truth almost - unbearable. The reverend gentleman gave a brief account of the financial affairs of the society, the funds of which were less within the last two years than previously, owing to the falling off of legacies. This had compelled them to curtail b o th the number of their missionaries and the number of their schools, although they were entreated from various quarters to increase them. The society had two great wants at the present time. A greater outpouring of the spirit upon all con nected with them was one, and the second was an increase of the means. The CHAIRMAN put the resolution, and it was carried unanimously. Mr. CONOR in stating the amount of donations made at the several churches, said that the sermon at St. Michael's Church, would be preached by the Rev. W. Birks, on Wednesday evening, and, as a l arge p l ace o f worship had been selected, he hoped all present would attend. After a few remarks, a hymn was sung, during which the collection went on. The Rev. Mr. PARRY proposed a resolution to the ef fect, that great results would arise from prayer for the object in view. He alluded to the object of the building in which they were assembled, erected by men to promul gate the principles of that unhappy man, Robert Owen — principles of infidelity ; and now they had met within the same walls for a very different purpose. With regard to the national restoration of the Jews, the society had. nothing to do ; their objects addressed themselves to the Jews individually. The Scriptures' told them to preach the Word of God to all men, and the Jews were included. We should do wrong to exclude them. It was said that the Jews were obdurate in their opinions, but this was no reason to despair of their conversion. The Rev T. R. BIRKS moved, in a povrerful address, a resolution to the effect, that the meeting.rejoiced in the extension- of the Society's labours, which was seconded by the Rev. T. NOLAN, in a brief but effective speech. The meeting soon after separated. THE CHASE. The Critsmat HOUNDS will meet to-morrow (Wed nesday), Nov. 24th, at Kinderoon Guidepost ; - on Thurs day, the 25th, at Tatton ; on •Monday, the 29th, at Twemlow Hall ; on Wednesday, Dec. Ist, at Tilstone ; and on Friday, the 3d, at Stamford Bridge,—each day at half-past ten o'clock. Sir W. W. WYNN'S HOUNDS will meet to-morrow (Wednesday), Nov. 24th. at Hawkston ; on Thursday, the 25th, at Cloverley ; and on Saturday, the nth, at Twemlows,—each day at half-past ten o'clock. MARINE STORE KEEPERS.—A woman, named- Sarah Paines, keeper of a marine store, was yesterday proved in the police-court• to be in possession of stolen property— sacks, nails, Sic. She was at first committed for trial, but was recalled, and sentenced to be imprisoned for two months. A forgery has been committed of the Dorchester , bank notes of Messrs. Eliot and Pearce, but it was soon de tected, and measures have been taken to stop their circu lation. The parties are supposed to be the same as those by whom forgeries on the North Wilts, the Stour bridge, and the Sheffield banks have recently been com mitted. ROBBERY OP WEARING APPAREL.—On Saturday, a young man was committed for trial for robbing a clothes cellar in Marybone of several articles of apparel. Yester day, anotheryouth, named Robert Jones, was brought up on a charge of being an accomplice. The evidence was not quite complete, and he was remanded, though dis tinctly sworn to. . _ ASSAULTZAND DAMAGE.—At the police-court, yester day, Thomas Kelly and James Hyde were charged with breaking a man's door in a court in New Bird-street. The evidence was extremely conflicting, showing an liish family quarrel, of some standing and great obscurity, but they, the prisoners, were required to pay the stated amount of damage, 405., and costs, or be imprisoned twenty-one days. . THEFT OF FLOU'F. FROM A FLAT.—Yesterday at the police court, Andrew Renny and Thomas Corbett were committed for trial, for having stolen from a flat about sixty pounds of flour, from some sacks which had been sent down by a cart from Mr. Winstanley's mill, North shore. A quantiti.of flour was found upon the prisoners, in a bucket and a sack, said by them to be sweepings, but found to be clean. SLEEPING IN BRICKFIELDS.—NO fewer than five young men were yesterday. brought before Mr. Rushton, as aus picious characters, they having been found in a hut, or cave," during the night, on the North-shore, without any ostensible plea for being there ; but though some of them were known as former offenders, no specific charge was substantiated against them, and they were discharged. On one of them there was a sort of bludgeon made of rope, served round with yarn, and loaded with lead at one end—a dangerous looking weapon. CHARGE OF PURLOINING PASSENGERS' MONE74' — At the Police-court yesterday, an old Irishman, named Paul Leicester, charged , a young countryman of his own, Jere miah Mahon, with: having stolen £32, the property of two young girls who were about to emigrate from this port to America. The complainant stated that the young women were orphans, and had entrusted him to procure their passage, and to purchase them provisions for the passage. The prisoner, it appeared, had acknowledged that when he went to buy the stock he did not return to the house where the young women were left. Upon his person was found a sum of £35 , 13s. Prisoner said that the money was his own, and that he had been in the young women's service, and had , done everything for them, adding that he had taken and paid for his passage to America, by the Henry Clay, to sail that day (yesterday). The money, it appeared, was obtained from the giris at Birr (otherwise Priests' Town, in King's County), and as witnesses were there required to prove the case, at the request of the complainant the prisoner was ordered to be sent in cus tody to Ireland. EXTRAORDINARY INCIDENTS AT ST. JUDR'S-CHURCTI. —On Sunday forenoon, during the time that the Rev. Dr. M`Neile was preaching the annual sermon at• St. Jude's Church on behalf of the Society for the Conversion of the Jews, when the rev. gentleman was describing , the dread ful privations from home and country to which the Jews had been subjected, a loud scream and some incoherent expressions from a poor man caused every eye to be di rected towards him. Most of the congregation suddenly rose from their seats, and several made the, best of their way out of, the church. The rev. doctor.stopped for a few minutes while the screams from the unfortunate man continued, and while the sexton and one or two gentle men were conveying him to the vestry-room; and then requested the congregation to retake their seats, and said that an awful , instance had just occurred. of the depriva tion of , reason, whether arising from distress of circum stances, or. from whatever cause, it was impossible to ascertain. Scarcely had he said his when the wretched man was heard exclaiming in the vestry-room, " Lord, have mercy upon me ! Christ, have mercy upon me !" Upon the suggestion of the rev. doctor, the man was then removed. Two females were subsequently attacked with nervous symptoms, and screamed loudly, disturbing the congregation until were removed. In the remaining part of the sermon Dr. M`Neile twice alluded to the cir oumstance, and expressed a hope that the congregation would be more thankful than ever for the possession of reason, and pray for those who, had been so extraordina rily affected. He said that during his ministry at St. Jude's that was the first occasion upon which any such sudden deprivation of reason had occurred during divine service.—Albion. BALTIMORE HAMS.—For several years back we have had an annual improvement in the quality of the provi.. sions from the continent of America; indeed so altered is the system of curing, that that which a few years since was little more than palatable has become most delicious ; for while the Baltimore hams now partake of all the ex, cellence and richness of the Lancashire fed, there is the accompanying acorn flavour that renders them most de licious. The stock imported last year scarcely served quarter the demand, but from an advertisement in our first page, it will be seen that we have already some of this years curing on sale. ROYAL ADELPMI.THEATRE.—FIRST APPEARANCE OF MR. BATTY'S COMPANY. —lt is an old maxim that com petition produces excellence, and we were nevermore fully imbued with the fact than during a visit, last evening, to this popular theatre. Our readers may be aware that a French company havefor some time been announced, and with a view of meeting such an attraction, Mr. Cooke en gaged Mr. . Batty, of Astley's, London, with the express understanding that he was to produce the whole strength of his double company ; and we must certainly say, With out disparagement to any company that may hereaft er appear,, that we never were more gratified. The perform ance commenced with " The Merchant's Steed of Syra cuse.; or, the Flight of Damon"—a.piece replete with all the concomitants to produce admirable and powerful effects, and so well interspersed with excellent dialogue, as to give a r elief to those who admire the merit of the sterling corps dramattque of the establishment. In the horsemanship, as there were no less than ten acts in the circle, we can only be expected to give a cursory notice. In point of talent, they are just what we expected from such a school as that oldest equestrian of the day—in agility and daring equal to aught the mind can wish. We cannot, however, close without noticing in terms of ex alted commendation the performances of Madame Valen tine, of Mr. Batty, who appeared for the first time since he had the honour of perf orm i ng b e f or e her Majesty, with his beaut iful mare, Beda, the tractability of which is in describable ; the vaulters, Mr. Burgess, Bullock, the buffo , clown, and Mr. Adrian. So great was the attendance bob tbet hundreds were tamed away. NOT. 23,1847. LATEST INTELLIGENCE. (BY EXPRESS.) LONDON CORN MARKET.-YESTERDAY. The condition of the new Wheat having been again affected by the state of the weather, trade was very dull at a decline of Is. to 2s. on the general runs of Englist! ? whilst a slow sale was experienced for foreign, at barely the rates of last Monday. For the choicest malting Barley nearly as much money was made, such being rather scarce, but middling qualities must be quoted fully Is. per quarter lower. The large brewers still refuse to buy Malt, and this article is offered again somewhat cheaper. There was no variation in the quotations of English Flour, and no briskness in the demand for foreign at last week's car rency. Beans were taken slowly, at rather lower rates. Foreign Peas were offering more freely, and these must be quoted is. to 2s. per qr. cheaper. There was no material change in the price of good old Oats, but new corn was 6d. to Is. per qr. lower than on this day se'nnight. MONEY MARKET-YESTERDAY. £15,000 in gold, On account of the Emperor of Russia, has arrived by the steamer from St. Petersburg. The English market remains tranquil this morning, the quotations remaining about the same as they closed on Satur day; the India news has no influence. In the Foreign market there is no change. In the Share market there is very little doing, and the quotations, almost nominal, are the same as they closed last week. The following are the quotations : Excium—Bank Stock, 187 9; Reduced Three per Cents., 822 3 ; Three per Cent- Consols, 84i ; Three-and-a-Quarter per Cents, 844 ; Long Annuities,Bi ; India Stock, 231 4; India Bonds, 30 20 dis. ; Exchequer-bills, 3 dis. par; Consols Three per Ce nt. for Account, 84i. Lord Stanley arrived in St. James's-square, London, on Saturday evening, from Knowsley. Music FOR THE CRISIS.—An Edinburgh music-seller announces the " Nil Desperandtnn Polka. ' Lord Minto, whose arrival at Rome has been already noticed, had an interview with the Pope on the Bth inst. What evidence has been given taprove that Santa Anne is a man of regular habits ? He uniformly retires early. Kilkenny will have to look out for another representa tive, Mr. John O'Connell having determined to sit for Limerick. Mr. O'Donnell, near Clonmel, sub-agent to the Mar quis of Ormond, was shot dead on Friday, whilst endea. vouring to collect the rents of the Ormond property. On the Bth instant, 400 sail of vessels was wind bound at St. Petersburgh ; 25,000 casks of tallow were among their freight. Exchange there was 381. The largest vessel that ever entered the port of Alex andria—the Alfred, 1000 tons—has arrived there from Liverpool, having brought new boilers and machinery for the Viceroy's steam frigate, the Nile. A Tyrone paper gives an account of the death of a man named Forrest, who, it is strongly suspected, was mur dered in consequence of his having given some informa tion regarding deserters who are concealed in the neigh bourhood. THE NEW POSTAL ARRANGEMENTS WITH FRANCE. —lt is understood that by the new arrangement one mail is to leave London every day at half-past eleven in the morning, to arrive in Paris the following morning at half past four o'clock_;. this mail is to be conveyed via' Dover and Calais. The other mail is to leave London with the ordinary mails at half-past eight at night, and is to be conveyed via Dover and Boulogne, and will reach Paris at half-past ten• the following morning. From Paris mail will be despatched daily at noon, to reach London at half-past four in the morning • this is to come via Calais and Dove r . Th e o th er mail from Paris will leave at seven o'clock in the evening, and reach London at half-past ten on the following morning ; this will be con veyed via' Boulogne and Dover. A FALSE PROPHET. —Th e utter failure of all the pre dicted advantages of free trade is as evident and undeni able as is the fulfilment of many of the warnings uttered by its opponents. A Stockport paper greets Mr. Cobden's return tb England by a republication of one of his letters, addressed, in 1841, to his constituents in that place. In this letter, vituperating the corn law, he says,—" When that law is abolished, you will eat bread made from Ame rican flour, at three-halfpence a pound ; you will then have full employment at advanced wages; every spindle and every loom in Stockport will be set in motion ; every= shopkeeper will be prosperous; every house will be ten anted ; your numbers will increase, and new mills, new houses, new churches and chapels will spring up around you." M. COBDEN ON THE CIIRRENCY.—Mr. Cobden, it appears, has recently wr itt en a l e tt er t o a friend at Aber deen, some passages of.which have already appeared in print. In one of these he says:—"Sir Robert Peel is equally wrong on the currency question, but he is still swayed by his false financial theory. It is high time thfA the currency question should be taken up in the same re solute spirit as that of the corn laws, and urged on Par liament in the same powerful and persevering wa y. NoW that restrictions on corn have been removed, why should they remain on currency.? Free trade surely means free trade, not in one branch only, b u t i n ever y branch. , This is certainly a curious position of affairs: Mr.Cobden forced, by the failure of all his predictions, to fall upon the currency system as the true cause of that failure ! Well, whether this course shows honesty or not, it cer tainly shows sagacity. He has most assuredly " got the right sow by the ear." There is no other plea which would have stood him in so good stead ; for in attacking the present currency system, he attacks that which is es.. h es e .. sentially false, hollow, unprincipled, and unsound. i assails it with vigour, it will fall, and its fall will he his establishment as a statesman.
