The CHAIRMAN, as sum as the applause which followed
the reettatios had in some sausare subsided, proposed the
toast of the evening, " 81111POSI sad prosperity to the Jews'
Hospital ;" and in doing. so, after observing that it had
gone 06 its conies of well doing for more than forty peen
took cc cation to call the attention of his hearers to
pushes is es salty o'. and eels cid benefits arising from, such
an isistitution as that the suivelsary of which they had
that night met to celebrate : the plums for whose especial
benefit it was intended b ing, as they were, debarred from
. the reeeption of the trill provided for the other members
of the oestmunity by the poor laws of %bit country. Again,
&nether impediment was thrown in the way of the view*
.of the industrious members of the Hebrew penuasioo, from
the peculiar manner in which they were acnistomsd to
,gliscus t$ Sabbath. These and various other moose were
or..:ed by the chairman as offering amps incentives to tie
support of such an institution es the Jews' Hospital, where
all the various trades were taught in a orroplete end satisfac-
tory =muter. In reference to this sul.jeot it had ones been
used that the Jews as • to.:y were adverse to industrial
and so soeser had this objection been put
leeward than • politiese signed by several husked
of the Jews et the metropolis, had been sent
la to paritament, praying its members not to
give credence to any such amerioa. He hoped that now
Hero was ao one sufficii ntly ignorant, or sufficiently bold,
to give publicity to such assertion.. In ooseinsion, he hoped
that the somewhat thin attendance that night would only be
• stimulant to thereased exertions oa the part of all sincere
oeppeetors of the institution.
The S. ILOSTIIIHR, el the Established Church,
urged be propriety, mar, the necessity, for a speedy emanci-
pation of the Jews from all civil and other flatitti4llll.
Dr. VAN OVEN, ia preposieg a teed in favour of " civil
sod religious liberty," smegratalated those pre,aot on the
.adesalogos whisk muss awns to the society from the fact
that there ware than present foe its rapport several clam
am of the Betels:Shed Muth.
The Rev. Dr. COT responded to the toad, and observed that
is every sense of the term he was an advocate of civil and
mai: ions liberty. Among other a vacates of religious liberty
was Oliver Cromwell, who, if not hououred with a monument
in our houses d parliament, was his own monument—a
isoanassat of strength and power.
The Rev. 0. SMITH referred to the antiquity and
Lorain of the I,:ws, and co uld not b rmember what
the prem. preol.r had done and wut
ue doing fur the
terthenacis of eiti_ end religious liberty ; that he bad
'emancipated him (lir. Smith) front religions restrictioas,
tad was trying all in his rmu to effect—what nothing on
earth weld previa& him from ultimately effecting—the civil
sod religious liberty of the Jews.
