Egypt, many an individual Moses was to be rescued
tlieeeply.roo.oegsoiut thsett‘,Torld, and now breakin-

from threatened ruin. (Hear, hear.) It was, however,
asked, if so much money was spent upon promoting
Christianity amongst the Jews, how much did it
cost to convert one ? To such a question it might
be enough to say that they were not of those who
measured duties by results—that wherever they met the
command they looked forward to the promises of God,
which said in keeping his commandments there was a
great reward. But with regard to the Jews they bad a
specific answer. If they were taunted with having done
little, they said, true, they never expected much—they
always knew they had extraordinary difficulties to contend
with—they always knew that although they might convert
the heathen, yet upon the hearts of the Jews the veil was
double. They had, however, done enough to prove that
the true gospel could not be preached in vain—that the
very discouragements they met with were real encourage-
ments, and proved that they were walking in the path of
prophecy—that the very ground they occupied was the
everlasting ground of truth. (Hear, hear.) But they
were taunted with the character of their converts. To
this he might reply—if they were professors of an an-
cient inheritance which their forefathers had forfeited,
and if a sion of that house came to their doors, would
they not relieve him, and 'offer to him the best they
could afford. That ruined person was the Jew; and who
could look upon his ruin without seeing in his fallen state
the rock from whence he was hewn, and the hole of the
pit from whence he was digged ? Patriarchs aed prophets,
kings and priests, apostles and martyrs, all are
ours, and however hated for our sakes, yet for the
Father's sake all were beloved. The poverty of
the Jew is our riches—his casting away our reconcilement,
we possess through him all we have, all we are, and all we
hope to be. They could not kneel at any footstool but
one that he had pressed—they could not lift up their hearts
in praises without unconsciously giving forth one of
the songs of Sion ; and it was through him our pasture
was a shady pasture, and through him its fragrance flowed.
They could not look upon him without seeing the linea-
ments of Abraham, with a mysterious Ichabod written
thereon. The rev. gentleman concluded a powerful speech
with reference to the future millennial glory of the Jews,
and after proposing the resolution, resumed his seat amid
loud cheers.

The Rev. J. H. STEWART, on rising to second the mo-
tion, was received with rapturous applause. lie said often
as he had been called noon to plead that cause, he had
never felt more the need of lifting up the heart in prayer
g t
to Almighty God for his blessing on that occasion.
They might not azain meet until they met around his
throne, and then be should have to give an account of
what he had spoken, and they of what they had heard.
He could not express the joy, delight, and pleasure he
experienced when he saw around him those whom he might
call his companions in the wilderness, which reminded
him of the wanderings of the Children of Israel, for it was
than forty years since that society first sprang into exist-
ence. (Cheers.) He had joined the society in the first
year of its existence as one of its earliest members, and
now he could say with heartfelt gratitude to our Heavenly
Father, that having received help of God, they continued
to that day. (Hear, hear.) Who was there who had seen

of Judah from their worse than Egyptian bondage,

TEN 'TOURS' BILL DEMONSTRATION IN WARRINGTON.
—A tea party, in celebration of the passing of the Tea
Hours' Bill, took place on Tuesday evening last, in the
rooms of the national schools belonging4,o the established
church. The festivity was on a scale of magnitude which
would be deemed large, even in Manchester. The number
of persons who sat down to tea, including guests, was
nearly 1,000, about 650 being provided for in the girls'
school, and the remainder in that of the boys. the corn
pany consisted of about equal proportions of both sexes,
and all were neatly dressed. The rooms were decorated
with evergreens, knots and bunches of dahlia flowers,
small flags and mottoes. The aspect of the upper room,
crowded as it was with its festive party in holiday array,
was very fine, and the pleasing effect was in no slight
degree enhanced by the jubilant spirit, the mirthful talk-
ativeness, and the smiling faces exhibited on every hand.
The fete was got up and the whole arrangements were
conducted by the operatives themselves.

DA RING ROBBERY.-A very singular and daring rob-
bery was effected on the night of Saturday week, at the
house of Mr. Joseph Harvey, innkeeper, of Oakamoor,
near Cheadle. A number of " navvies" employed on the
Churnet Valley branch of the North Staffordshire Rail-
way assembled at Mr. Harvey's house on the night men-
tioned, and having drunk rather freely, they commenced
a disturbance, and were obliged to be displaced by the
police. Daring these proceedings, it is supposed that onei
of the party gained admission unperceived into a bed-
room, where, inside a chest, was deposited £lOO in
crown pieces in a bag. The box was broken open, and.
the thief, in jumping through the window, let the bag
drop, when a number of the silver coins rolled out. The.
inmates, hearing the noise, ran out to discover the cause,
and found upon the ground £2l 10s. in crown pieces. ln-
formation was immediately given to the police, and bills
offering a reward circulated ; and on Monday night, two
men were apprehended by Mr. Field and Mr. Brinsley.
constables, of Ashbourne, at the Tiger Inn, in that town,
and about £7O in crown pieces, and other coin, was found
in a bag and upon their persons. The two men, who
