LIVERPOOL AUXILIARY SOCIETY FOR PRO-
MOTING CHRISTIANITY AMONG THE JEWS.

The annual services in connection with the twenty-
fifth anniversary of the Liverpool Auxiliary Society for
Promoting Christianity among the Jews, commenced on
Wednesday last, and will not terminate before Sunday
morning next. The first part of the services was the
celebration of divine service in Christ Church, on Wed-
nesday evening, by the Rev. A. M. yers ; during which
three of the brethren of the House of Israel were publicly
baptized. Each of these persons had Neon inmates of the
Liverpool Institution, and there is every reason to expect
that their profession and practice of ci ristianity will be
consistent and praistworthy. The next branch of the
services was a pubic nicer.rne., which was held on the
evening of Friday, in St. Bride's school-room, Grey-street,
at which several clergymen attended and some addresses
of a highly interesting character in connection with the
cause were delivered. The following evening, Saturday,.
at seven o'clock there was a public prajer meeting in the
Institution House, Slater-street; the blessing of Almighty
God upon the proceedings of the anniversary, and on the
extension of h►s truth among the children of Israel was
here most earnestly supplicated. On Sunday the usual
sermons were preached.
The pubic meettig of the members and friends of the
Society was held at Irilf-past six o'clock last night, in the
Royal Amphitheatre, Great Charlotte-street. There was
a teost numerous attendance of clergy rid laity. The
Rev. H. S. Joseph was prevented being present by severe
indisposition, brought on by over exertion, and we are
sorry to bear that he has been forbidden by hi, medical
adviser to preach or speak publicly for six mouths.
The Rev. JAMES HA !JOANN: STEWART was called to
the chair; besid s whom we noticed the following:—

Revs. H. M`Neile, J. Jones, Thos. Nolan, Dr. Tattershall; M.

The Rev. T. NOLAN having supplicated the Divine
blessing upon the meeting end its objects,
The venerable CHAIRM AN, in his opening obsc:rvations,
remarked that they had met in very pleasing circum-
stances. For instance. God in his great poilness had
granted to us an abundant harvest ; the cloud which had
long hovered over our commerce Earl passed away ; and
our gracious (slieeri had been blessed with ano•her son,
thus giving to us a confirmation of the delightful hope
that we should still continue to live muter a line of Pro-
testant princes, under whose happy and mild government
we had enj .yrd so much civil and religious liberty (hear,
hear.) There was peace, ton, throughout the whole
world ; the monarchs of Europe wished our country not
to engage in alliinie.s for hostility, but as brethren, to
promote a spirit of love and brotherly concord. Surely
then there was cause for thankfulness ; but a Hist they
met under these happy circumstances as regarded them-
selves, assembled in the cause of God's ancient people, it
could not but to borne in mind that Jerusalem was still
trodden under font of the Gentiles, the mosque of Omar
still stood upon the very place where the temple of God
formerly stood ; they must bear in mind also that it
might still be said of the children of Judah as it had been
said :

Tribe of the wandering foot and weary breast,
How wilt thou tire and be at tc,t?
The wild dove has its nest, the lox its cave,
Mankind their country—lsrael but the grave.
They might still use the language of Scripture and say,
" Jerusalem is still in the tint—Babylon still lilts its
head." The false prophet still had mat.y followers; our
God's name was still blasplimed ; his Sabbaths were
broken, his word profaned, and open infidelity walked
abroad. On the-e and other important grounds he t‘tro,:gly
urged the necessity of supporting this society.
The Rev. TH OM AS NocArz then read the annual report
of the Liverpool Auxiliary, of which the folloN!ng is an
abstract :

The report shr.weJ the proceedings of the Committee during
the past yea,. They regretted to say that their dear friend and
brother, Mr. C. Boutflower, the late tr easurer, had been called
hence; for he was a zealous and long-tried friend of the Jewish
cause, and a devout Christian. They had satisfaction in re-
peating that the interest felt by God's children in the spiritual
welfare of the Jews was progressively increasing. The meet-
ings had been more numerous, and there was an increased at-
tent er% to the object in view, amongst many who were net
befo:e sensible 01 its importance. Several new auxiliaries had
beer, formed, and a foundation laid for more extended exertions
in future. They gratefully acknowiedged the contributions of
their Liverpool friends, and rejoiced that there had been au in-
crease of tlie fundS over those of the past year. From the
financial report of the parent society, the aggregate receipts
dming the year amounted to £25,335, being an increase of
£259 above the receipts of the preceding year. The attendance
of baptized and unbaptized Jews at the Episcopal. Chapel, ave-
raged from 39 to dri adults. The number of children in the
Hebrew Schools , f the society .as to boys and 44 girls. At
the Hebrew C liege 13 missionary candidates (the same num-
ber as last year) had prrrsued their studies under the direction
of the Principal, and of these 10 were members of the House of
Israel. The applicaticns in London for Christian instruction
had been numerous during the year. In Liverpool, the Rev.
H. S. Joseph had rendered %cry efficient service to the cause.
by visiting the auxiliaries in differ of parts of the kingdem, and
plead rig the claims of Israel there, and also from the pulpit.
As the number of Jews in the large towns of the West of Eng-
land is considerable. the Committee have stationed a missionary
at Bristol• whence he can rear ily visit Bath, and he has already
met with much enec uragement. The report concluded with a
warm and Christian appeal, turd a pious aspiration in behalf of
he society.

The Rev.-Jour/ JONES, minister of St. Andrew's
Church. moved the first resolution, which was to the ef-
fect, that the report be adopted and prnted ; and that the
meeting regarded with renewed feelings of gratitude to
Almighty God, the blessing which had attended the la-
bout s of the society in behalf of his ancient people. 'The
reverend gentleman, at some I,ngth, defended the society
from &number of oliki.ctions made against it. contending
that its
proceedings were justified by the specific coot-
mends of our Lott:.
The Bev. HUGH IWNEILE seconded the resolution,
observing that he would call attention to Ofle particular
pas,qtge in the rel:on, which reterted to the institution, in
this town, for the shelter and support of inquiring' bap-
tised 'Jews. That in,tuutton Was hot so v.ell known, and
he believed, upon that accom.t not so well
supported as it &served to be. If Le were not mistaken,
that institution, and asylums similar to it, cenin cted
themselves directly with a very impoitant question which
bad been aeii wed in the Patent society in London, fiDct
kouga forwaH et get erol mcetings anung the best

!riends the cause of Israel numbered in this country.
(Hear.) He meant the question of temporal relief to
enquiring and baptised Jews. (Hear, hear.) It had al-
ways been felt to be a difficult matter to determine how
relief should he systemancally adminis-ered. He did not
think Oleic had been- much difficulty in determining that
relief should he given, but there bad been difficulty in
determining how to give it. If temporal relief were
given, and if h. were publ:cly known thet such relief were
given, there was danger upon one side, that hypocrisy,
ever ready, would avail itself of the open door, and
Christian bounty would be abus4l. It was the duty cf
Christians to guard aeainst this. They had not only to
consider the duty of Christian prudence, but to consider
the privilege of Christian sympathy; for if no relief were
given, then enquiring Jews were upon the very Lrink of
being rejected altogether by their own people, or when
altogether rejected by their own, inseael of being taken
up and for a time supported by us, found' thentselws at
once in a state of temporal destitution. while they had
not vet had time to consider the deep grounds of these
spiritual truths, for the sake of which they had incurred
that temporal distress.- Tne burden of martyrs was
laid upon them before they had had time to acquire the
strength of a child. It was the privilege of Christian
syMparhy to guard against this; and what was require,
was some mode of administering temporal relief, which
should at once be safe upon one side of the duty of
Christian piudeoce, and upon the ether exercise the
privilege of Christian sympathy. It was confessedly
difficult. (Hear.) When this society was originally
instituted a part of its plan was to give temeoral relief ; and
an accusation was brought, against its operations by the
Jews that it sought to make converts by bribery. (Hear.)
The pl,n of giving relief was therefore relinquished ; the
object of the society was strictly limited to spirltual in-
strucion ; and then the charge brought against it was
that it would mal‘e converts to starve. He thought, too,
it was a very unfair charge to bring against the institution
that it did not deserve the name of Christian, because
there was some part of Christian duty which it did not
aim at fulfilling. It was not a society for carrying out
the whole length and breadth of Christian duty : it was a
society for a specific purpose, That purpose was to pro-
mote Christianity among the Jews by the preaching of
the Gospel, by the instruction of the young, and by the
other spiritual means placed within its reach. The funds
of the society were collected for that purpose; and he
thought it would be very unfair that funds collected for
one purpese should be expended for another, or that arty
part of the funds collected for one purpose should be ex-
pended for another purpose. He confessed that he thoueht
the society had acted wisely in determining to maintain its
spiritual and scriptural character, and in declining the
proposal which some bad made, that part of its general
funds should be applied to temporal relief; but if it were
admitted that the society was right in confining itself to
the spiritual object, it by no unions followed that they
(the public) would be right in so confining themselves.
(Hear, hear.) The society was organised for a specific
purpose, but the support of it was in the nature of a
Christian duty towards the Jews. Granted that we sup-
portet the society as we ought to do,—and perhaps fe.v
would have the presumption to say they had acquitted
themselves in the whole length and breadth of Christian
duty towards the Jews,—there remained a duty upon us
as Christians after supporting the society, after con-
tribrting towards their spiritual instruction, with regard
to their temporal condition. (Hear, hear.) He was
glad to hear this referred to in the report, because he con-
sidered it a most legitimate matter ti give instruction
upon, although the society would still observe its single-
ness of purpose, and apply all its funds to the spiritual
objects designed ; he therefore did not feel he was travel.
ling out of his course in proposing this matter to the at-
tention of the meeting, although, stricty speakirig, it was
not a part of the operations of the society. It arose out
of those operations iii this way ; they pointed to one part
of our duty as Christians towards the Jews, and he availed
himself of the opportunity to "suggest another part. He
hoped that this made it very clear, so tar as it was pose-
hie, how to maintain the Cristian duty of giving temporal
relief to the Jews, while at the sante time we maintained
the Christian wisdom of confining the operation of this
society to spiritual objects. (Hear.) But then the ques-
tion occurred Low was this temporal -relief to be adminis-
tered? A separate fund had been suggested ; and they
hind been told that a separate fund had failed. '('he reason
why it bad tailed, he thought, had been that the mode of
administering it had not been explained; for surely before
they could consistently, or with any good hope of success,
call upon the public to supply funds, they ought to inform
the contributors how those funds would be used when
they got them. There were persons who said " let us have
a fund first, and then we'll use it." This was :air, per-
haps, e ith regard to our own money, with which we could
do 83 we liked ; but if you asked the printic for theirs,
they had a right to demand front ysu before they ga%e.
,' What are you going to do with it?" " flow are you
going to spend it ?" If it were proposed in a general in-
definite way that a separate fund for temporal relief he
placed at the disposal of the committees of the va:ious
Jewish auxilieries throughout the country, he did
not think there would be any fair prospect of success ;
he did not know who the officers of those auxiL-
aries were who would undertake the respons,binity of ad-
miaistering at their own discretion funds so placed et
their disposal. lie for one confessed, as connected with
the auxiliary in this town, he should always shrink front
any such responsibility ; he would net undertake to have
any hand in the dtsposal of such a fund unless upon prna-
ciples laid down, plainly defined to the public when they
were asked for their money, and then honestly acted upon
when they bad gi‘en the money. (Hear.) How, then,
were such principles to be laid down and acted upon ?
The question again recurred ; and here he reverted to the
institutions before named. He thought by asylums
firmed for receiving and for retaining baptized Jews
within their walls, under certain specified rules and re-
gulations, and by asking the Christian !while to give sub-
scriptions for the support of these asylums, they might
attain to a plan of rescuing their Jewish friends from the
immediate pressure of want during their enquiries cr
speedily after their baptism. tie granted that we could
not permanently do o • that, he thought, was hopeless ;
but there must be hardship somewhere ; and if it pleased
God to convert men, and by that conversion hdraw
them front civil associates upon whom they had been de-
pending for a livelihood, they must count the cost, ere! be
exposed to some trials in consequence. All that they
could do—alt that they could reasonably be expected to do
—was that they should far a time after tine conversion of
a Jew, shelter him from immediate want, supply his
pressing wants for a time, and during that time strengthen
him in the faith, and instruct him in the principles of
Christianity. They might make what enquiry they could
among their own friends to procure employment for him
at the end of that time; but whether they could succeed
in procuring hint employment or not at the end of that
time they must have done with hits); they must say
God be with you ; go forth ; we have been the means of
converting you and leading you into the true faith,
but we cannot continue all the year to support you; ,gen
forth now and God be with you." (Hear.) The prob-
lem then was reduced a little in difficulty ; it was now
this, " how shall we adopt a plan which shall give refuge
and support for a certain period to converted JeNs, to
order that they may not in the very infancy of their
Christianity be cast upon an unfeeling wield ? " Such
asylums as he had referred to supplied, he thought, an
answer. But, in order to do such a work efficiently there
must be efficient workmen, and here we should find the
difference between dealing with livieg men and dealing
with abstract truths. The efficient working of such an
asylum demanded in the very first instance an efficient
examining committee. He would propose, therefore,
that after the internal rules and regulations of the asylum
had been determine:l upon, there should be an examining
committee, formed of the society's committee, ap-
pointed, and that no Jew should be admitted to
the asylums without a written order, signed by at
least two members of the examining cs,smittee, and
addresed to the superintendent of the asylum. . (Hear.)
This drew the onus in the outset of admitting a Jew
upon the discretion and judgment of tire examining coin-
mittee; and here was the very first important step.
As far us the internal regulations of the asylem itself
were concerned, they already bad a sufficient frame ; in
their own institution in this town they had, if not an ex-
ample of the regulatioes, yet nearly such as would answer
all their purposes. But he returned to the importance of
an examining commotee before any Jew should be
admitted in o such art asylum. (Cheers.) Being
once admitted there must be a limit to the time he should
bra retired in it. Ile ventured to propose that every Jew
professing sincere inquiry into the truth of Christianity
who should be admitted into the —Si' A I
Are , ut the expira-
don of one year from the date of his admission, unless
he desired it sooner himself, should be brought before the
examining committee ; and if he sheuld then be un-
willing to be baptised, or if the examining committee con-
sidered him not qualified for that holy ordination he
sliuuld be dismissed front the asylum. This proposal
gave. him one year of fair trial under the rules and regula
Lions of the asylum, with christian instruction from the
Superintendent every day, and a bare subsistence, not
amounting to a bribe, to bring him in and yet respectable,
such as a chrisdati man should offer a fellow-creature.
Having been allowed one year of such probation, if he
desired baptism himself and the members of the examin-
ing cornutittee (alto in most cases wenld be experienced
ministers of the Established Church) judged hint suffici-
ently qualified then lie would be baptised; but if riot, it
through ineapacity, or any reit-minis prejudice,or through
any lingering immorality of conduct, or from whatever
cause he were still himself unwilling to be baptised, or
judged unfit or incompetent by the examining committee,
then they had discharged a christian duty towards that
man—and he must be removed from the asylum to make
room for cone more hopeful enquirer. He ( Mr. M'Neile)
did not see his way to a permanent reception of any man
into it ; it must be only passing through. - A question
might arise as to the propriety of the period mentioned,
and he merely submitted it for consideration ; some
might preferfi months, others 18 months. He had said 12:
but this was a wetter open to adjustment if the principle
were admitted. 'Chen every Jew baptised in the asylum,
and desiring a continuance of temporal relief, should be
continued in the asylum if he conformed to the rules and.
regulations of its internal management, and remain an in
mate for any period not exceeding s x months after his
baptism ; and at the expiration of six months he should
appear before the committee and be dismissed from the
asylum, the committee presenting him) with any sum of
money, not exceeding 405., that they might deem extre-
dient. Here again an important principle was ineolved.
lie did riot pretead to specify these plans as the very best
that combined wisdom could draw up ; he had drawn them
up in the hope that something would be arrived at, and
),.„deetly determined upon, whereby this long. aglated
question might, through an honest endeavour to make a
come at last to a prosperous termination.
(I tear.) Some Might think that six months after baptism
was too short a period to allow the converted Jew ; but he
thought if after his baptism he was retained for six
months, kept in the institution for that time, and in-
Aruc:.cd diligently (as he would be every day) in the par •
!iculars of th 3 Christian religion, the k -blends of tine

society wnerever Lot asylum was s-teeee, knoe.eug bis
circumstances, would in the reeautime make :some inte-
rest for him, speak to persons ceeneeted with the town or
oeighbourhoc d, who would in all probability give hint
at me labour when he came forth from the asylum ; and,
if Ile were then indeed a sincere ( hristian, as he would
profess to be, he would not be allowed to be desti-
tute. (Hear, hear.) And if he were, we could only
bore that God woule e 'owe bleseing arise to him out
of it. In this way a te, , ;;let proeoaat as to the mode of
expending a separate ;u ,d might be laid before the public,
and he was strong ie the conviction that if a worse pro-
posal of the sort were made, it would he responded to,
and that a separate fund would not he a failure. He
would venture to propose further, that no baptised Jew
dismissed from the asylum should be engibie for readmis-
sion et any time sooner that twelve months from the
date of his dismissal. He mieht, then, be taken upon
trial again by the lixaminieg (Ummittee. He might by
tham have come to a better mind. And. also. that if any
inmate of the asylum refused corneLatire with the rules,
or in any other respects conducted himself itt a atisordar
er improper manner, the euperintendeet shah ittneedenly
report him to the committee; hot no inmate shall be dis-
missed without art r rder of the committee. This was what
he had ventured to sugge--t, in a very brief and imperfect
manner, in order to make a bee:Drill:4; of something tan-
gible and practical in this great matter—(hem, beat)—
and we know not any part of the kingdom where it
might more grate:fully emanate from than from tie town
of Liverpool. tCheers.) We were net the metropolis, it
was true, but we had shown the metropolis an example
before now ; and he was happy to he able to say that we
are going within a few days to (ellow a good example
shown us by the metropolis. We were first even the
point of getting a Sailors' Home. (Cheers.) The laud
had been given, and a meeting bad been called for Friday
nett, with his Worship the Mayer in the chair, to take
proceediegs fora Sailors' Home fer Liverpool. (Cheers.)
The Rev. Mr. BaocK, Of Beth, moved the next resolu-
tion, which congratu!ated the members of the society upon
the gradual diminution of prejudice amongst the Jews,
both upon the Continent and in Palestine, as proved by
their general readiness to receive christian instruction.
In supporting this resolution the rev. gentlemen gave an
interesting narrative of a native from the foot of Mount
Arrant, who had recently visited this country to obtain
funds to release his children, who had been seized for
sonic taxes due to the nemarch of Persia. This man was
a Nestorian christian, but without participating in the
errors of Nestorius, and from his conversation and state-
ments it was evident that chrie7ianity was making progress
among the Jews in those. regions. The entire progress of
the cause, indeed, was such as to call upon all who loved
Christ to further it by their means and their prayers.
The Rev. J. J. Rseivorees seermdcd the resolution, in
a very able speech, irt the course of which ht give a va-
riety of elaborate details of the eueceS6 which has atteeded
the efforts of the society's agents and tnis,ionaries, most of
which will be found in the publications periodically made.
A collection was made at this period, (tering which the
beautiful hymn of " Crown Him Lerd of all" was sung in
tremendous chorus by the vast assfY,bly.
Tie Rev. WILLIAM FREEMANTLE proposed the lest
raseOution ; and after some general observations upon the
excellence of the cause, and replying to certain objections
which are occasionally urged ageinst it by persens who
tare disposed to cavil, he narrated a few circumstances
connected with a visit he neide to Pal&tine about four
! years ago. Many persons be remarked wished to visit
that country ; but he strongly recommendeu all such not
to go there but with the bible in their bands.
The Rev. THOMAS NOLAN said the office of seconding
a resolution at that late hour was merely nominal; but it
was a suitable chase to an evening so spent to recommend
and urge the people to earnest prayer for Gods holy spirit
—the first breath of spit Real life, the sold of a converted
sinner, the secret energys that put into our minds ailed
desires and eneb:ed us to hrieg them to good effect.
Let us pray then for the peace of Jerusalem ;
and, said he, may the God of Ablation' realize to you tell
abundantly his gracious promise, " Blessed is he that
blesseth thee."

The Doxology was then sung, and the proceedings
closed abcut ten o'clocl:.

This morning, (Tuesday) a public breakfast will tlic
pine at the Adelphi Hotel, at which it is expected acme
interesting and important statements will be made by ,he
members of the (xputation and others. This evening a
public. meeting is to be held m the school-room of B,,a_

SAVAGE ASSAULT UPON A POLICE INSPECTOR...-
At the Police-court, yesterday, a men, named John
Rogers, recently an officer in the constabulary force ef
this borough, was brought before Mr. Rushton and Mr.
Charles Turner, the sitting magistrates, upon a charge of
Laving committed a most savage assault. upon James
Muir, en acting police inspector. From the statement of
the complainant, it
.appeared that the prisoner was on
duty in Brownlow • hill, on the morning of the 3d instant,
as a constable. The inspector had charge of that division,
and on going his rounds he knocked his stick in the usual
way for the prisoner. Receiking no answer, he knoeked
several times more; and, after waiting (Or nearly half an
hour, the prisoner came up drunk On the inspector
charging him with bet; in that state, and also with hav-
ing been off his beat, be was called a Far. The in,
spector.was ~r
in the act of going away tow ells Jordan-street
Br idewell, to report the circumstances, when the prisoner
came behind him, and with his stick struck him a blow
over the head which immediately rendered him insensible.
Three of his fingers were also disabled by this violenee.
Recovering for a moment he staggered niter the middle cf
the street (Brownlow-1011), and a; this period two officers,
No. 352 and No. 111, came up, and he directed them t 0
take the prisoner into custody. Ur:on this No. 352 w his.
eered soniethivg to the -prisoner, which appeared to irri-
tate him, for he ,mmedqvely struck the inspoctor again,
and in coesequenee he fainted once more. - In this state
he was taken by No. 111 to the corner of Ruesell•street,
and whilst standing asainst a wail there the prisoner ',gain
struck him, after which he escaped. In answer to a
question from Mr. Rushton, it was stated that No. 352
had been dismissed from the force f,;r his conduct on this
occasion. The prisoner, in defettce. denied haling teen
(dr his beat, but admitted being drunk atvi having struck
the inspector once. lie was very sorry for what he had
done, and he hoped the magistrates would
.be easy with
him, for he heti two children end a wile who was just at
down lyieg. Mr. Rushton.--You trust be dismissed the
force, and further you west be tried for
.this assault.
Prisoner —I hope ',on will let me off. Mr. Rushton.—
Indeed, I will rot. You might tent. murdered this man.
A respecteble and rising man in the force you have as-
saulted in this savage way. I cannot look over it. The
prisoner was then e,nntLitte:l for trial at tie sessions,
which arc now being held.
