SUPPOSE THE JEWS BECOME " THE POWERS THAT BE." WHAT TREATMENT WOULD CHRISTIANITY EXPERIENCE AT THEIR HANDS? TO THE EDITOR OF THE LIVERPOOL STANDARD. Sra,—A correspondent in your paper has suggested the above question, and has invited a discussion of it ; and I would approach the subject by observing that we have no reason to believe the Jews ever will be restored to national unity and power while in a state of unbelief. On account of the manifold sins of the Jewish people, obstinately persisted in, it has pleased God to punish them by withholding His grace from them, and at the same time depriving them of all national power. Thus Hosea writes : " My God will cast them away, because they did not hearken unto him, and they shall be wan derers among the nations." ix. 17. How long shall they be wanderers is the next point ? And the answer is to he found in the prophecy of our Lord as recorded by St. Luke, chap. xxi. : " Jerusalem shall be trodden down of the Gentiles, until the times of the Gentiles be fulfilled." ver. 24. And what comes to pass when the times are ful filled ? " Then shall they see the Son of Man coming in a cloud, with power and great glory." ver. 27. How does His appearing affect the Jews personally ? It converts them ; they become repentants, and believe; seeing Him eye to eye, they believe without hesitation, —(it is worthy of remark, St. Paul's conversion was oc casioned by seeing Jesus, who " appeared" to him for the purpose of making him a minister and a witness. Acts, xxvi. 15, 16. Thus it is written—" Behold, He cometh with clouds, and every eye shall see Him, and they also which pierced Him, and all kindreds of the earth shall wail because of Him." Rev. i. 7. This Jewish wailing is described by Zechariah, chap. xii. : " And I will pour upon the house of David, and upon the inhabitants of Jerusa lem, the spirit of grace and of supplications ; and they shall look upon me whom they have pierced, and they shall mourn for him as one mourneth for his eldest son, and shall ba in bitterness for him as one that is in bitter ness for his firstborn." ver. 10. (Read also verses 11, 12, 13, 14.) How does His appearing affect the Jews nationally ? " Behold, the days shall come, saith the Lord, that I will raise unto David a righteous branch, and a King shall reign and prosper, at.d shall execute judgment and justice in the earth. IN HIS DAYS Judah shall be saved, and Israel shall dwell safely, and this is his name whereby he shall be called, the Lord our Righteousness." Jeremiah, xxiii. 5, 6. " And the Redeemer shall come to Zion, and to them that turn from transgression in Jacob, saith the Lord." Isaiah lix. 20. " The sons also of them that af flicted thee shall come bending unto thee, and all they that despised thee shall bow down at the soles of thy feet, I and they shall call thee the city of the Lord, the Zion of the Holy One of Israel." Isaiah, lx. 14. " And they shall build up the old wastes ; they shall raise up the for mer desolations, and they shall repair the waste cities, the desolation of many generations." Isa. lxi. 4. I believe the restoration of the Jews to the Holy Land will be effected by the Lord in person. at His coming— " In His days Judah shall be saved," &c., and not before. I trust that proof sufficient is offered in these scriptural statements to satisfy your correspondent and your readers, that it is not the will of Providence to restore political power to the Jews while in an unconverted state. And truly His mercy is manifest in His arrangements. Had he continued them united and powerful, then indeed would this stiffnecked, rebellious, and hardened nation been the terror of the world. They would have tyrannised over all, for the tender mercies of the wicked are cruel; and, unrestrained by a reverential awe, they would have especially endeavoured to hinder the propagation of the Gospel. And therefore just and merciful is Jehovah in keeping them low amongst the nations, and restraining their wrath and power until the times of the Gentiles are fulfilled, when their righteous King shall come, who will pour upon them the spirit of grace and supplication, and restore them, and make them an holy nation, a royal priesthood (see I. Peter, i. 9), and send them forth as ambassadors to proclaim His praises through the length and breadth of a regenerated world. I wish this Jewish question was more studied : there is much, very much, written concerning it. It would enable many to cheer the hearts of the chosen people, by draw ing their attention to their own land, and to the person and attributes of their Great King. Nothing can elevate this people but a knowledge of the Gospel, and their pe culiar interest in it. Many a feature of the present time ; would become known, an d . recognised as signs of the near approach of our long absent Lord. Many a popular de lusion would be banished from the public mind ; Libe ralism in vain would extol her follies; in vain she would urge the enlightened Gentiles to bestow political power on the Jew while unconverted ; in vain would the en tice the enlightened Jew to entangle himself with Gentile governments. But she succeeds in high placas where spiritual darkness dwells, and the trial of blendinc , Chris tian and anti-Christian in the council chamber of the na tion will be made, and will end in confusion to both par ties, worse confounding our already perplexed and dis tracted Cabinet. How stands the Jew in relation to the Gos times of the Gentiles? He can he saved by its saving efficacy, if he will believe it faithfully.

The Church and State Gazette of Friday contains a scheme of this description, which, without grants of gooney, or interference with existing episcopal funds, provides one bishop and one archdeacon for every county in England and Wales, except the lesser counties of Rut land, Radnor, and Flint ; four for YorKshire; two for the larger counties of Lincoln and Devon; three for the metropolis ; one for the Isle of Man ; and one for the Channel Islands—in all sixty bishops and sixty arch. deacons. This may be accomplished by the annexation of thirty livings in public patronage, and the use of the funds actually applied to the present archdeaconries, The following is a summary of the scheme : In England, forty-eight bishops, with a minimum in come of £l,OOO a-year. In Wales ten ; Isle of Man one; and Channel Isles one : with a minimum income of £750 a-year. To each bishop one archdeacon, with an allowance of £lOO a-year.

It appears that East and West Canada has a million and a half of residents, among whom 154 of the society's missionaries are distributed : while in Nova Scotia, Cape Breton, and Prince Edward's Island, there are 47 labour ing among a population of 246,160. New Brunswick, Newfoundland, and the Bermudas comprise an aggregate population of 313,601, and also missionaries belonging to the society to the number of 75. The entire cost of these ministers during the last year amounted to £29,125. The report, urging a further increase of clergy in these dis tricts, continues to the effect that, during 1847, no less than 109,680 persons emigrated to the colonies, besides 142,154 who landed in the United States. This is the largest emigration on record, but it is anticipated that about 130,000 will be found to have left during the course of the present year. In reference to the important colo nies of Australia, Van Diemen's Land, New Zealand, and the Cape, the population is estimated at a little over half a million, the extent of space about as many square miles, and the number of missionaries from the so c i e ty no more than 55. The population of Port Philip has increased by emigration, in the course of the last three years, from 15,000 to nearly 50,000. After a summary of the society's extensive operations in India and the W e st Indies, the report concludes (in reference to emigration) by urging the most strenuous exertions on behalf of tie objects of the association, for these reasons :—" While the government, parishes, stipendiary agents, are all re commending emigration as at once a remedy for the in creasing poverty of this country, and the best means of augmenting the industry and wealth of the colonies, none of these parties undertake to supply the emigrant with the ministration of religion for himself, or the means of educating his children.

The creditors are satisfied with the conduct of Messrs. Birmingham. • LocK JAW.—This hitherto fatal disease in animals has recently been cured by a new operation, whereby the animal obtains instant relief.

SIR JOHN TYRELL AND THE "MORNING POST."—A curious correspondence appears in the Morning Post of Saturday. It appears that Sir John Tyrell is stated by the Essex Standard, to have spoken of the Morning Post as a " Catholic" paper, after a public dinner, and the editor of that paper wrote to Sir John, to ascertain if such was the fact, and whether ROMAN Catholic was in tended. No answer having been returned to his letter, the editor again wrote, but only obtained the following : —" Boreham House, Nov. 1, 1848.—Sir J. Tyrell not having the pleasure of the acquaintance of the editor of the Morning Post, is unable to comply with his request. .15 J. T. Sir has neither time or inclination to enter upon a 48 70 2 4. discussion of the character proposed." On receipt of this 1822 note, the editor again endeavoured to procure a categorical 739 answer to his inquiry, but not having succeeded, he came to the determination of publishing the correspondence, for the purpose of shewing the " authorof the calumny," and attributes its origin to " convivial recklessness." HORSE STEALING BY A DISSENTING PREACHER.—A man named George Buck, a dissenting preacher from Louth, has been committed for trial on two charges of horse stealing—a black mare, the property of Mr. Blyth. of Weasenham, Norfolk, and a horse, the property of T. C. Oldham, Esq., of Louth Park. He was taken into custody at Ipswich. In his possession were found various papers and correspondence, most of which were of a re ligious character. On the day on which he was appre hended at Ipswich he had been three times at chapel. A NOVELTY,—The Lord Mayor's procession this year presented a striking novelty, as compared with previous spectacles on the 9th of Nov. Sir James Duke at an early period of his life, served in the royal navy, and was present at the memorable battle of Algiers, under the command of Lord Exmouth. As being probably the first naval Lord Mayor, it was decided to grace the other glories of the procession by the introduction of a ship fully rigged and manned' on a car drawn by six horses. THE BARONESS ST. MART.—This lady was again brought up at Marylebone police office, on Tuesday, for a further hearing on a charge of having stolen two diamond rings the property of Sir John Hare. Two other witnesses were heard in support of the charge, and at the conclusion, Mr. Broughton, the presiding magistrate, determined to send the case to a jury, and the Baroness St. Mart was accordingly committed for trial at the Central Criminal Court ; she was, however, admitted to bail. POVERTY !—At the Bromyard Petty Sessions last week, a poor woman was cited, for pulling up and steal ing a quantity of turnips. Williams admitted the charge, and pleaded as an excuse that she had had sixteen child ren, and eight of that number were now at home, and were without bread. The charge not being further pres sed, the defendant was convicted in the expenses only, amounting to 35., and the money being given her in court, she paid the amount, was admonished, and discharged. ROBBERY OF GOLD DUST.—The solicitor to the trea sury has received instructions from Sir George Grey, her Majesty's Secretary of State for the Home Department, to prosecute three men charged with stealing nearly 2000 ounces of gold dust from the British ship Lemuel, whilst lying off the African Gold Coast. It appears by the de spatches from the Governor of •Cape Coast Castle, that two of the prisoners and the whole of the gold dust are to be forwarded to London by the vessel Viscountess Canning, the arrival of which is daily expected. HYDROPHOBIA IN ABERDEENSHIRE.—A case of this dreadful malady occurred in the parish of Edzell, to an old woman, named Ann Milne, wife of John Balfour, re siding at Latch. On the 17th of August, she was severely bitten by a rabid dog, of the Newfoundland breed. The wounds, which were mostly on the arms, healed well in the course of a month. On the Ist of November, she evinced several symptoms of incipient hydrophobia, and became gradually worse till the 3rd, when she died, being ten weeks after she was bitten.—Aberdeen Journal. THE POLICY OF HONESTY, AND THE HONESTY OF POLICY.—One day last week, a commercial traveller of Bristol accidentally left at an eating-house, in Duke-street, a pocket-book, containing twelve £5 notes and some pa pers of value. The servant who found the book took the greatest care of it until the owner was seen, when on pre senting it to him she was rewarded with the prodigious sum of sd. Honesty is always the best polity, but the policy which rewards it is not always the best promoter of honesty.—Devenport Independent. THE CAT AND THE HAWK.—One day lately, as a hawk was soaring in the neighbourhood of Balgrurnmo Cotton, hrouvh the window of a cot- tage there, to seize In the absence of the occupiers of the cottage, a cat, which had been left sole guardian of the premises, nobly acted the part of a police constable, rescued the poor song ster from the clutches of the feathered burglar, executed summary punishment on the intruder, by killing him on the spot, and left his body lying on a table, as to all other delinquents.—North British Mail, A NOVEL MAYOR'S DINNER. - Mr. George William Harrison, the newly-elected Mayor of Wakefield, gave his inauguration dinner on Wednesday week, to the members of the corporation, at which twenty-six of the number attended. The dinner is said to have been a sumptuous one, but we reckon the after proceedings would be rather of a flat character, the usual accompani ment (immemorially considered indispensable on such an occasion) of wine was not introduced, his worship . being arning raspberry brandy - , ginger beer, le kind of such stuff at a Mayor's feast MANSLAUGHTER BY A Boy.—A Hereford paper states that, on Friday evening last, an inquest was held on the body of a little boy named James Bishop (between four any othei p.nd:five years of age), who had been t en out 01 an a . joining canal on the previous afternoon. _..c parents who are poor, had left the deceased in a miserable hovel, under the care of a woman named Williams. A report got out that deceased had been pushed into the canal by a boy named Rock. The latter was brought up, and said in reply to a question, that he was ten years old. The jury, however, thought that he was at least thirteen or four teen. He is most unprepossessing in appearance, and the opinion, so far, is that he pushed the deceased into the canal. The case has not yet been decided. DREADFUL MURDER NEAR BRECON.—A brutal murder was committed at a farm-house called Cwmgwdy, near Brecon, upon one of the farm-servants there, a most inoffensive man, named Thomas Edwards, aged about thirty-two, a single man. The murder was com mitted by a fellow-servant of the name of Thos. Williams, who was but recently come upon the farm to reside. On the morning of Friday last. the body of poor Edwards was found, presenting a ghastly spectacle. The brains was found cla .al places by an axe; the fatal in by, covered with blood.

Gladstone, C.E., read an essay on iron bridge able iron lever bridge, to the members of the Society of Arts. His modus operandi was to erect stone piers, and having obtained the necessary elevation, to project from each a number of malleable iron bars, grooved together, and decreasing in number till the arms met in the centre. The weight would thus be distributed and diminished as they approached. It was, in fact, a compound lever, and superiority of malleable iron for his purp from its intrinsic properties. It possessed, in a far gr( degree, the attraction of cohesion—cast-iron, as comp to it, being 17 to 56. He rontenCed that, by his plan, a bridge could be constructed, in whose materials the ex tension and contraction would be the same throughout, in which the lateral expansion would be prevented ? and was evident whose resistance wouidbe greater than its tension CANINE SAGACITY,—WniIe strolling along the quay at the Gloucester Basin, the other afternoon, we observed a fine large bull dog suddenly come to a 'stand- tretching his i.ead upwards bark.

It ap pears from the statement of the master of the vessel, Captain J. Thomas, that she left Honduras on the 9th of September, bound for London, with a cargo of mahogany and cochineal. On the 25th of September they cleared the Gulf of Florida, when it commenced blowing a furious hurricane ; the ship broached to whilst wearing, falling on her beam ends on the port side ; the masts were cut away, and she partly righted, when three heavy seas struck her successively, washing nine of the crew overboard ; seven, however, regained the vessel. The crew remained. lashed to the main rigging until morning ; heavy seas continually breaking over the ship washed the poop away, and com pletely gutted the cuddy. The captain's wife and child here perished. The crew remained in this state, the ves sel being waterlogged, until the Ist of October, subsisting on cocoa-nuts which occasionally floated up from the wreck, when they were taken off by the Norwegian ship Oceana, Captain Jacobs, under whose kind treatment they were restored, and landed at Ramsgate on Monday. The poor fellows, who have lost all they possessed, speak in the highest terms of the Norwegian captain. DEATH FROM HYDROPROBIA.—OR Wednesday, Mr. George Cummings, innkeeper and grocer, residing at Sherburn-hill, Durham, died in the greatest agony from the effects of hydrophobia. About nine weeks ago, the deceased had what is called a " wife's feast" at his house, and during the course of the evening, two dogs which were in the house began to fight under a table, and on the deceased endeavouring to separate them, one of the dogs flew at him and bit him slightly upon the nose. Not much notice was at first taken of the matter, al though some time after it took place the deceased com plained of shooting pains from the wound up to his head. On Monday, however, unmistakeable symptoms of the dreadful malady exhibited themselves, and they increased in violence up to Wednesday. A STRANGE COMBAT.—A short time since, as John Searle and Joseph Walt,T, belonging to East Looe, were returning to that port from a vessel in the roadstead, they saw a fierce combat between a sea-bird and a fish. On rowing to the place of action, they found the engagement 'to be between a cormorant and a conger. It appeared that the cormorant, during his submarine hunting excur sion, got on scent of the conger, and no doubt intended it for his breakfast. The conger was caught, but did not choose to yield its life as easily as its adversary could wish. The bird, of course intent on breakfast, endervoured to conquer by boring holes in the body of his prey. He suc ceeded in boring behind the head, and got in the beak. The conger twisted and twined ; the bird used the pro pelling force until he had so far inserted his neck that his beak become visible through the mouth of the conger, which immediately. closed it jaws, entwined its body twice around the bird, and in that position they were ea sily captured by the men in the boat—brought ashore alive—and presented to Mr. Jackson, the naturalist, who intends to preserve them in the manner they were cap tured.—Exeter Gazette. THE BESETTING SlN.—The Right Rev. Dr. —, Bishop of , was examining the children at a school in —, the other day, and, after the usual routine of questions fixed upon had been regularly pot and answered, the following colloquy took place between his lordship and a sharp-looking chap, who was particularly prompt in his responses to all interrogatories :—Bishop : " Sow, my boy, you have answered every question with great acuteness ; now look at me, rook at me in the face, don't be afraid, and answer me this question : What is my besetting sin ?' "—Boy, tafter locking attentively, as de sired, in the face of his episcopal interrogator: " Drun kenness, sir."—Bishop " Oh dear me, no ! No, no, my boy, you are wrong, quite wrong. lam a great man, I am a bishop. Drunkenness is not my beietting sin. Oh, dear me, no. My besetting sin is vanity ; remember that, my boy ; my besetting sin is vanity."—Boy, (with a scrape of the foot and a tug at the forelock :) " Thank you. sir, I will always be sure to remember that you are a bishop, and that your besetting sin is vanity."—Carnarvon He rald. LORD ASHLEY AMONGST LONDON THIEVES.—The Weekly Chronicle says :—" We have seen Lord A s hl e y i n many situations—in the House of Commons, on public platforms, in churches and committee rooms, and a variety of places—but big last appearance transcends them all;-- he has ma4c a (Wed among the felons of the metropolis. A Mr. Jackson having heard from one or two penitent thieves a desire to emigrate and reform, thought a number of the fraternity might in like manner be acted upoa. and at last, with the concurrence of a body who had sent for him to the Blue Anchor Court, he summoned a meeting of them in the Irish Free School, to meet Lord Ashley. He expected to gather 100 thieves who might listen to what his lordship had to say. But his expectations were more than fulfilled. On July the 27th, his lordship went, when no less than 207 professed thieves were assembled, -11 of whom expressed his earnest desire to renounce his -st course if it were possible. Some five or six gen z-sent with Lord Ashley, and ' it was such a meeting.' says one of them, that no one could forget it to the day of his death.' Several of the best and most ex perienced thieves were placed at the door, to prevent the admission of any but thieves. Some four or five individu als, who were not at first known, were subjected to ex amination, and only allowed to remain on stating who they were, and being recognised as members of the dishonest fraternity. His lordship addressed the meeting at consi derable length, and his discourse appeared to produce a tlemen were p jeep impression.' SINGULAR DE was found dead i❑ his • ceased had occupied a room adjoining the foundry where he was employed, and separated therefrom by a wall built partly of stone and partly of brick, and apparently sub stantial and sound. lie had been employed - at the On Friday morning, as he did not make his appearance at the works, his door was forced open, and he was found dead in his bed; and as the bed clothes were not dis- turbed, it is supposed that he died in his sleep. The per sons who found him dead perceived on entering the room a strong smell of gas. This circumstance induced inquiry, the result of which was, that there could be no doubt the deceased died from the effects of sulphuretted and ear buretted hydrogen gasses, which were generated by some large casting made the evening before, and which must have penetrated through the wall into his sleeping room. It appeared that an old man, who formerly occupied the room in which the deceased died, was also found dead in his bed about two years ago, under similar circumstances ; but it was then supposed that he died from some natural cause. There had been in that case, as in the present, a large casting in the adjoininc , foundry the evening before the death of the party ; and now there is no doubt entertained that he also was suffocated by gasses entering vered the other evening, at Crosby-hall, by Mr. Pepper, on the properties and phenomena of magnetism and elec _ produced and regulated, was introduced. The hritliancy of the light is almost beyond what can be conceived of the powers of artificial light--that is of light produced by scientific means from simple natural causes. It was so vivid as to make the numerous gaslights by which the hall was illuminated completely indiective. Its intensity to those close to it was almost painful. and it was impos sible, when the shade or paper screen by which it was surrounded was removed, to look upon it. It is a white or sun light ; there is no yellow tinge, no vapour or smoke, and none of the attendants of lights which par take of combustion. The exhibition of • his certainly ex traordinary light was witnessed by a very crowded corn- o expressed their satisfaction in a marked manner on its merits. The apparatus by 'which its power is produced and sustained can scarcely be de scribed ; it is a piece of mechanism of comparatively sim ple construction, by which pieces of chsrcoal, supplied and adPpteti • it can only be understood by be-' ing seen and inspeetc‘l. If the generating and regulating powers of this invention can be sustained, and the expen ses attendant upon them kept within reasonable bounds, as the patentees assert they can be, this light will at some vans of visitors, v period supersede all others; and as a statistical account affirms that upwards of £25,000,000 is annually expended in England and Wales for lighting, an important saving will accrue to the public, and a benefit be conferred, which all will be able to appreciate.

Much of this business has been done with comparative ease, at prices which were only partially, and with difficulty obtained last week ; and these have, therefore, now become decided and general rates but, besides this, a positive advance of 13d. to 3d. per piece upon the actual prices of a week ago, is npw realised on long cloths, T cloths, light 7-8 printers, and . 40 r i . nch 54 to 64 reed shirtings. Heavy 40-inch 66 and 72 Teen slurtings, anapted to the China trade, continue exceedingly depressed ; while certain good fabrics of that width, suitable for printing, are in request. In yarns, the tendency is upward, and, for some kinds, an in crease of id. per lb. is paid by shippers. The improvement is still more marked in spinnings for home manufacture. Natu rally enough, the sellers have continued to rise a little on the hands of the buyers, as the week has advanced; and, quite as naturally, this is beginning' to be slightly felt as'a hindrance to the course of business. Spinners and manufacturers are, how ever, so largely under contract, as not to he disposed to take further orders without an inducement in the terms. Up to the present time, the buying has, for the most part, been for ex portation; the home-trade houses having, as yet, laid in but little stock of Bourox.—The Cotton trade is improving. The factories have during the past week increased their number of working more t )een wor king for some time, gut it is jelievea further improvement will soon follow.

GALVANISM.—The following is extracted from the Court Journal of January 29 :—" It is now about four readers , years since that we informed oureaders , , it was to be regretted galvanism was not more extensively used as a remedial agent. We have every. reason to believe that our advice was attended to ; for, in a comparatively short time, Mr. Halse :s residence was crowded with the elite of fashion and their less fortunate fellow-sufferers; and we feel confident, judging from the astonishing remedia effects it has produced on ourselves, after all kind s o f m edicines and hydropathy had failed to impart any benefit, that the public will thank us for our recom men d at i on. We were delighted to notice, a short time since, that Mr. Halse wes patronised by the Lord Bishop of London and Sir Charles Clark, his lordship's physician.
