With regard to the increase of population in the above
colonies, some very interesting statistics may be gleaned
from the recently-published annual report of the " Soci-
ety for the Propagation of the Gospel in Foreign Parts."
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 society
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 West
Indies, the report concludes (in reference to emigration)
by urging the most strenuous exertions on behalf of the
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 religious department, so to
speak, though necessary to the permanent success of any
scheme of colonization, is passed over by its leading ad-
vocates, and left entirely to the Society for the Propaga-
tion of the Gospel."

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, and 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 she 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 blending 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.

CHILDREN IN EDINBURGH.—As for the children of
the High-street, the harvest is too thick to be computed.
They cover the ground, like the brushwood beneath a race
of taller growth. They swarm like a plague of locusts
in Egypt, only the west wind does not carry them off.
They lie in shoals on the pavement ; they gather in
clusters in the streets ; they sit in rows on the kerbstone ;
they pour in legions from the wynds ; crowds of them
• are playing upon every heap of coals or dirt ; whole bat-
Unions of them are lying at ease in the gutter. Down
every stair a couple of little naked feet are seen patter-
ing ; up every cellar a little dirty head is peeping. They
run and riot without hindrance ' • they tumble and roar
Without pity ; they thump, and get thumped, without
mercy ; they are too dirty to be touched, and too ugly,
one would think, to be loved,—yet, even in this infant
pandemonium, there are little imps who fasten on your
sympathies. Here lies a ragged, filthy, innocent little
thing, stretched out asleep on the pavement, whom you
can't help looking down upon with tenderness ; and then
a little curly-headed, limpid-eyed monkey, lifts his face
trustingly up to you whom you could almost run away
with,—and it would not be missed ; for it is five years
old, and the mother has, doubtless, at least half-a-dozen
Others to bring up under it. Next to children, herrings
are the most plentiful things in the High-street, andthere
seems to be a kind of natural bond between them.
Every slut of a woman carries a baby on one arm, and a
bundle of herrings on the other. Babies are sucking raw
herrings to keep them quiet; children are playing with
putrid ones ; while the most popular toy going seems to
be those same delectable herrings' viscera I—Fraser's

How stands the Jew in relation to the Gospel during the
times of the Gentiles?

He can be saved by its saving efficacy, if he will believe
it faithfully. The Gospel message acts in the Jewish na-
tion, as in the nations of nominal Christendom : it takes
an election out of each. To this end St. Paul writes—
" Israel hath not obtained that which he seeketh for ; but
the election hath obtained it, and the rest were blinded."
Romans, xi. 7 ; see also ch. ix. 27. 33. Also Jeremiah
says—" I wtll take you one of a city, and two of a family,
and I will bring you to Zion." ch. iii. 14.
But the great ingathering of the Jewish people takes
place in that great day when " every eye shall see him,"
and when " The Gentiles shall see thy righteousness, and
all kings thy glory, and thou shalt be called by a new
name, which the mouth of the Lord shalt name. Thou
shalt also be a crown of glory in the hand of the Lord,
and a royal diadem in the hand of thy God. Thou shalt
no more be termed forsaken, neither shall thy land any
more be termed desolate." Isaiah, lxii. 2,3, 4.
Mr. Cribbace only deludes both Jews and Gentiles in
advocating a scheme for Englishmen to purchase Pales-
tine. This Holy Land is given to the Jews by an " ever-
lasting covenant." The title deeds to this possession are
to be found in the Scriptures, and there only. I invite
the thoughtful amongst the Jews to search the Scriptures,
and see if it be not as here represented ; and then they
will take courage, and instead of clinging with such insane
anxiety to perishable things of the present day, they will
see their glorious destiny. " Ye, that make mention of
the Lori, keep not silence, and give him no rest, till he
establish, and till he make Jerusalem a praise in the
earth." Isaiah, lxii. 6, 7.—1 am, yours, &c.

CHLOROFORM IN ASTHMA.—A very interesting little
girl, about twelve years of age, has been suffering for
several years from frequent attacks of asthma. These
have at times been so distressingly severe as to cause
some individuals to suppose that disease of the heart also
existed. It was not only painful to witness her during
these attacks, but there was some ground for apprehen-
sion that their extreme severity might prove fatal. I
determined, therefore, on the next occasion, to administer
chloroform, in the hope of carrying her safely through
the paroxysm. It was about ten o'clock at night when I
Was sent for to visit her while she was suffering intensely.
She had passed the previous night in a most restless state,
and during the whole day had breathed with the greatest
difficulty. I found her kneeling in her bed, with her
body bent nearly double over her pillow, trying thus to
place herself in the best possible posture to relieve the
excessive labour of inspiration. She was extremely
patient, although her countenance was pale, and indicated
great anxiety. Her pulse was very small, and beating
with great rapidity. She had taken no sustenance during
the day. was constantly vomiting, and her situation was
one of sorrowful apprehension to all her friends. Feel-
ing, no doubt, a dread of suffocation, I had some diffi-
culty in persuading her to change her posture ; but when
this was effected, I at once proceeded to administer
Chloroform, during which she did not show the slightest
excitement, nor even the movement of a muscle. Her
Pulse became immediately fuller and slower ; her painful
and laborious inspiration was immediately relieved; and
in twenty-five minutes she fell into a quiet sleep, which
lasted for half an hour. On her awakening I again
repeated the chloroform, which in ten minutes produced
the same salutary result. I left her enjoying a calm,
refreshing sleep, and on the following morning, I found
her breathing naturally, and free from all pain and suffer-
ing.—Bainbrigge on Chloroform.

ZOPHAR,

THE IRISH CLERGY

TO THE EDITOR OF THE LIVERPOOL STANDARD.

It is of no use to reply to accusations of " ferocious
bigotry," " fiendlike animosity," and " tyrannical Irish
Protestants," by pointing to the services of the Irish
clergy to the Church in Liverpool —to their labours
among the poor—to their efficiency in the pulpit—to
their acceptance among the educated—to the way in
which they have made the glorious Gospel, the contro-
versy for souls, the warfare with the spiritual wickedness
in high places, audible and felt throughout the length
and breadth of the town. All this is answered by a
threatened cry for a repeal of the union of the Churches—
by the cry of " Away with the Irish league !—away with
the Irish faction !—away with the criminators of our local
clergy I" and with the cuckoo note, borrowed so appro-
priately from the great model and fountainhead of inter-
nal strife and irreconcileable division, " Ireland for the
Irish ! "

But, I ask, who among the Irish clergy has ever brought
railing criminations against the many faithful and devoted
men to be found among the English clergy in Liverpool ?
Who ever made light of the sweet devotional spirit and
faithful preaching of Haldane Stewart ?—who ever spoke
against the fidelity, the earnest and honest labours of
John Jones, in his pulpit and his congregation ; or im-
pugned the various learning and the deep piety of the
late lamented Mr. Buddicom, upon whose true Church
spirit the Mail has been casting (in an article before us)
its unsupported insinuations, calling up the sainted dead,
the strong advocate of the great principle of Church unity,
to prop up its schismatical aspirations ? But, admitting
the value of the labours of these and others to the full
extent, still it is notorious that some years ago large
masses of the population of Liverpool were in the deepest
spiritual want, perishing for lack of the bread of life,
lying in fact in the sleep of death as to their souls' hope,
and that these " immigrant Irish" were to a great extent
the cause of a more stirring state in religious things in
these latter times. These were the angel visitants who
came down into those stagnant waters ; and although it
may be, as was to be expected, that they troubled the
sleeping mass a little, they most surely brought a healing
power with them. They brought bread and to spare to
those who were perishing for want. Soon, without in-
vading the congregation of any English clergyman, St.
Jude's, Christ Church, St. Michael's, and, subsequently,
St. Barnabas', Trinity Church and others on both sides
of the Mersey, were filled to overflowing.
But does this in any way derogate or detract from the
excellence of the pious English clergy of Liverpool ?
Does it detract from the sweet Evangelical spirit of John,
or from the calm Christian dignity of James, or from the
affectionate fervour of Peter, that the more stirring spirits
of Paul and Barnabas and Apollos were called into the
field of Christian labour and Gospel warfare ? Of them,
too, it was said—" These, who have turned the world
upside down, are come hither also." But of whom was
this the cry ? Was it of the friends or of the enemies of
the spread of Christ's kingdom ? They, too, had their
differences of opinion in matters of private judgment and
supposed expediency. Paul disputed with Barnabas re-
specting the value of a fellow-labourer. Peter and Paul
differed on the Jewish question, and Paul used some
sharp words too in the discussion. But did it ever enter
into the heads of these men that one or the other was to
be ejected out of their field of spiritual labour, because
they did not always agree together on every minute point
of their common ministry, or because the temper and
character of the one class of the Church's ministers and
faithful servants were more ardent, enterprising, and ad-
venturous, and of another more calm, soberminded, and
stationary ? _ _ _ _ _ _

EFFECTS OF BLUNDERS IN COPYING LEGAL DOCII-
MENTS.—I myself recollect a case in which an attorney's
clerk had omitted one single letter, in making the copy
of a writ of capias, to be served upon a defendant, who
Was clandestinely going off to India, owing a widow lady
a large sum of money, which she had lent him. She ac-
cidentally discovered, however, what he was about, and
instantly communicated with her attorney, in such a state
of alarm as may be easily conceived. He was an able and
energetic practitioner, and, within a few hours' time, had
got a capias issued against the dishonourable fugitive ;
and, accompanied by an officer, succeeded in arresting
the debtor, just as he was stepping into a steam-boat to
go to the ship, which was expected to sail from Gravesend
on that day, or the ensuing one. You may guess the
consternation with which he found himself thus over-
taken ; but it scarcely equalled that with which the attor-
ney received, early the next day, the copy of a rule, which
had been obtained by the defendant, calling on the plain-
tiff to show cause why the defendant should not be dis-
charged out of cnstody, on entering a common appear-
ance, on the ground of a variance between the writ and
the copy served : the discrepancy being between the words
4' sheriffs of London" in the one, and " sheriff of Lon-
don" in the other. Eminent counsel were instantly in-
structed to show cause, and struggled desperately to dis-
charge the rule; but in vain. It is better," said the
tranquil Chief Justice Tindal, " to adhere to a general
rule, capable of application in all cases, than to raise an
argument, on every imperfection in a copy, as to the ma-
teriality or immateriality of the error, and thereby offer a
Premium on carelessness." So the rule was made abso-
lute ; the defendant discharged. He went to India : I
sadly fear that he has never made his appearance here
again, and that the widow lost all that he owed her, and
Which, but for this untoward mistake, she would in all
human probability have recovered. This happened nearly
sixteen years ago, and, coming under my personal notice,
Made a deep impression on my mind. I have a vivid re-
collection of the vexation and distress which it occasioned
the parties, both lay and professional. Only a year or
two ago, a precisely similar decision was reluctantly pro-
nounced in the Court of Exchequer, in respect of a simi-
lar blunder—the very same letter of the very same word !
(See Moore v. Magan, 16 M. and W. 95.) Now, can
anything be imagined more serious to the client, and
Mortifying and injurious to the practitioner, than such
Miscarriages ? Counsel, also—alas—can make desperate
slips of this sort. That eminent conveyancer, the late
Mr. Butler, accidentally omitted a single word, " Glou-
v•ester' " in drawing the will of Lord Newburgh, which
deprived a lady, the intended devisee, of estates worth
about £14,000 a-year ! It was clear that the omission
''as through a mere mistake, and entirely contrary to
-Lord Newburgh's intentions ; but parol evidence to prove
those facts was unanimously rejected by the judges, and
their opinion cordially adopted by the House of Lords,
Za, You will find by referring to the judgment of the late
Chief Justice Tindal.—Warren's Duties of Attorneys.

Away, then, with this schismatical cry for a repeal of
the union of the Churches ! Away with this, not Irish,
but Celtic note of " Ireland for the Irish !" Let us give
God glory for the various gifts which the one and the
same spirit hath so happily and so usefully distributed
over the different members of the one and the same spi-
ritual Church Catholic body. _ _

It is the principle of true Churchism to unite into one
glorious whole all varieties of gifts and talents and tem-
peraments, preserving inviolate the great elements of
Gospel truth and salvation. It is the principle of sect
and schism to conform all men to some one narrow pat-
tern, and to make men offenders for a word. It is the
principle of the great enemy of souls—" Divide et itn-
pera." CLERICUS CATHOLICUS.

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.
Sir J. T. has neither time or inclination to enter upon a
dismission of the character proposed." On receipt of this
note, the editoragain endeavoured to procure a categorical
answer to his inquiry, but not having succeeded, he came
to the determination of publishing the correspondence, for
the purpose of shewing the " author of the calumny," and
attributes its origin to " convivial recklessness."
