LIVERPOOL PROVISION MARKET, OCT. 17.
In Beef the transactions have been unimportant, without
alteration in prices. In the absence of any stock of American
Pork, the dealers supply their wants with Irish and Hamburg.
Bacon would sell, but the stock here is exhausted. Hams and
Shoulders move very slowly. The advance on Lard has checked
the demand, and the sales for the week only reach 60 tons, at a
decline of 6d. to 9d. per cwt. Good Cheese meets a pretty
sale, at fall prices ; other sorts go off slowly.

LIVERPOOL COTTON MARKET. OCT. 17.
Great dulness has prevailed throughout the week, and the
frade have bought sparingly, though the business for export is
to a fair extent. American continues to be very freely offered,
and is fully *d. per lb. lower. Surat and Brazil have also given
way id. per lb. Other descriptions are without material change.
Speculators have taken 460 American, and 280 Surat, and ex-
porters 3280 American, 560 Pernambuco, 200 Bahia, 10 Egyp-
tian, 70 Smyrna, and 1440 Surat.

COMMERCIAL AND MONETARY

MONDAY NIGHT

There has been rather a better feeling in our colonial
markets during the week. Coffee has taken the turn for
the better, and we think Sugar has seen the lowest point
of the market. The indigo sale in London is progressing
satisfactorily, and giving more confidence amongst bankers
and the discount houses. In Tea there is not much doing,
but prices are not lower. Common Congou is worth 9d.
Rice meets with a ready sale. Linseed and other seeds
are generally lower, to be accounted for in the late decline
in the value of oil. Jute is quite neglected, and where
parties insist upon selling, lower prices have to be taken.
The receipts of Cotton in America continue in excess of
last year, and prices come again rather lower. Here the
trade are operating with caution, and the market is heavy.
The cotton market, during the past week. was in a very
languid state. The trade bought but little, and business
for export was only moderate in amount. American was
freely offered at fully id. per lb. lower. Surat and
Brazil were also lower to the same extent. The sales
amounted to 29,610 bales, (of which 400 American and
280 Surat are on speculation, with 3,280 American, 560
Pernams, 200 Bahia, 70 Smyrna, and 1,440 Surat for
exportation,) comprising 710 Sea Island at lid, to 22d.,
with 80 stained sd. to llid. • 5,4'90 Bowed 40. to 51d. ;
4,380 Mobile, Alabama, &c.;3d. to 5-id ; 11,200 Orleans,
3d. to 71d. ; 900 Pernambuco, Paraiba, &c., 61-d. to 74(1.;
1,150 Bahia and Maceio, 6d. to ad. ; 1,000 Maranham,
41c1. to 74d. ; 10 Demerara, 64d. ; 10 Barbadoes, 6 d. ;
20 West India, 64d. to 10d.; 1,550 Egyptian, 51d. to 74d.;
80 Smyrna, 4d. to 411, and 3,020 Surat at 24d. to 4d.
per lb. _ _ _

- There was rather a better feeling manifested in the W
market last week, and some few sales of llogador, Opor

and other middle-class Wools were effected at former
prices. Nothing of moment doing is Scotch. _ _

In Manchester the markets are still dull, with a droop-
ing tendency in the prices of most descriptions of yarns
and goods, the decline in the former being about ytd.
per lb. on the rates of the preceding week, and of lid.
per piece on the latter. India goous, such as 40 inch
shirting, are at a lower value than at any previous time for
many months back. Some buyers regard the decline in
price as a matter of prelude to a renewed demand.
The Corn Market has been very dull during the past
week, and former prices are scarcely supported. The ave-
rage price of the kingdom, according to the Gazelle, was
'36s. 6d. ner Wheat. -

Fcr quarter tor i fie deliveries by
farmers for the week ending the 11th instant were 115,02,
quarters as against 105,224 quarters in the corresponding
week of last year, and 121,305 quarters. in 1849; and the
aggregate averages of price were 375. ld. this year, 425. sd.
last year, and 425. 7d. in 1849.
The house of Messrs. Robert Anderson and Sons, at
Leith, connected with the Baltic trade, was on Thursday
announced to have stopped payment in consequence, it
was understood, of being seriously affected by the failure
of Messrs. Boyd, and other Glasgow firms. Mr. Thomas
Allsop, a member of the Stock Exchange, London, has
been declared a defaulter, but his liabilities, it is stated,
will he ultimately nearly met by the available assets.

The commercial new; from India and China, brought
'by the Overland Mail, is exceedingly unfavourable. It
was impossible to dispose of imports, except at a loss ;
and to export, except at a loss, was equally impossible.
Merchants were losing by both imports and exports in
India and in China.

The intelligence from the Cape of Good Hope, which
comes down to the 26th of August, is as gloomy as can
well be imagined. The insurgent tribes were ravaging
.the internal parts of the colony for hundreds of miles,
and the troops available were unable to prevent the pil-
lage and destruction.
The amount of specie taken out by the Peninsular and
Oriental steamer Pottinger is £123,500, £11,400 being in
gold, and £112,100 in silver, the latter chiefly for Bombay
and Calcutta.

In Australia the gold digging and washing mania rages
with unabated vigour. Sheep are left without shepherds,
and counting-houses without clerks. Emigration to the
yellow land of fortune is proceeding from every quarter.
Whatever be the fate of individual adventurers, Australia
herself cannot fail to benefit by the great increase of popu-
lation. The Government tax of 30s. a month for leave to
work the gold mines has excited much dissatisfaction, and
a meeting had been held to obtain a reduction of the tax
to 7s. 6d.

There has not been much life in our sharemarket during
the past week, and, in the absence of business, prices gene-
rally have receded. The traffic returns continue very
favourable, and this may check any material decline.
To-day there is more disposition to buy, and some
good orders having been received from the public,
the market has assumed a brighter appearance, with most
stocks quoted higher. The quotations are as follows :
Chester and Birkenhead, 161 ; Do. 22-shares, 64:1 • East
Lancashire, 14 14c1c • Old Leeds, 5311- m 4leini;
London stock, 1121 113 ; Do. new Quarters, 2 284 n ;

preference, 150 ; Old Dovers, 184 1 1 1; York and North
Midland, 181 ; Gas Quarters, 461.

There bas 'been a conside;able demand for shares in
dividend-giving mines during the week, but at pries so
low that sellers will not accept them. In speculative
adventures nothing whatever has been done.

to the Compter, London ; and the Rev. Dr. Kearns,
association secretary, and late missionary in Palestine,
attended as a deputation from the Parent Society. The
audience was numerous, and consisted for the greater part
of ladies. Amongst the gentlemen on the platform we
noticed the following :—Rev. Dr. M'Neile, Revds. W.

were,—A. Hodgson, Esq., R. Bickersteth, Esq., W.
Jones, Esq., C. Inman, Esq., W. J. Webster, Esq., H.
flathead, Esq.,
The Rev. F. PARRY having offered up prayer,
The Rev. Dr. M'NEILE opened the business of the
evening in a brief speech. He said that it was no part of
his duty to explain for the information of the meeting, or
to propound for their adoption, any new scheme of Chris-
tian benevolence. They were assembled there as old
friends. The revolving year had again brought round the
anniversary of the Jewish Society, and they were in-
vited to make a new effort of Christian self-denial on be.
half of the ancient people of God. (Cheers.) It was
right and proper that such a demand should be made on
Christians, for the blessings of Christianity had their cor-
responding responsibilities. The fact that the privileges
of Christianity had reached us by means of others,
established the duty on us to provide, as far as we could,
that they should reach others, who had them not. There
was a charge on all secular national privileges—taxation
was a charge, a debt the payment of which was enforced
by the law of the land. Missionary activity at home and
abroad was a charge likewise, but it was enforced by the
law of grateful love: (Hear, hear, and loud applause.)
If there were a specialty on any part of those claims
made on Christians, it might surely be said to be on behalf
of those to whom they were so deeply indebted. All the
highest laws were of Jewish origin—the Bible was of
Jewish original—salvation was of the Jews. This was
enough to establish that it was part of the Christian
duty to aim at doing good to the Jewish people. It
might, however, be asked,—Why did they multiply
societies ?—Wh3 had they not one missionary society for
all ? His answer was, that in organising a distinct instru-
mentality they were following the Gospel. When the
task of communicating the Gospel to the uncircumcised
was committed to Paul, that of communicating it to the
circumcised was committed to Peter. This was not on
the principle of a division of labour, but on account of the
difference in the parties on whom the labour was to be
employed. It was true that the gospel was one to all, but
the mode of presenting it to different minds was very dif-
ferent. It came to the ears of the heathen as a new sound
—to the Jew it came as the fulfilment of all the religion
of his fathers. It appealed to the conscience and to the
sense of right and wrong of the heathen—to the
Jew it appealed as the command of the Old Testament.
It was clear, then. that different instrumentalities were
designed for different works. The ministry of the
Apostle Peter was not confined exclusively to the
Jews, nor the ministry of Paul confined to the Gentiles.
The strongest argument for preaching the Gospel to
the Jews was founded on the practice of St. Paul.
Though commissioned specially as the Apostle to the
Gentiles, he did not lose all attachment to Israel.
He called them of his own flesh, and expressed his
anxiety to save some of them. A question might arise
how it was possible to reconcile some words of Paul with
others. In one place he said that all Israel should be
saved. whereas, in another place, he expressed his concern
for their salvation. This looked very like a contra-
diction, for if he was confident in his declaration,
that all Israel should be saved, bow could he have ex-
pressed his anxiety about saving some ? And if he thought
of the saving of some only, how could he have said that
all Israel would be saved? This apparent difficulty led to
real instruction, for the ancient Christian writers made
use of a phrase " distinguish the periods, and the
Scriptures will harmonise." Three periods wereevidentiv
referred to relative to the,Jews, the first, of their typical
religion; the second,of their national dispersion and degra-
dation, which had not yet expired ; and the third, their
national preeminence and glory. When Paul spoke of his
anxiety aboutsaving some, be spoke in relation to the second
Period, that of the dispersion and degradation. Dispersed
and degraded the Jews now were, but some might be
saved. - (Cheers.) When Paul said that all Israel shall be
saved he spoke of the third period. Thus, by distinguish-
- the time, the Scriptures all agreed. It was right and
in the midst of the difficulties and embar-
rassments that surrounded the society, a prosperous ter.
urination awaited their efforts. It was cheering in antic'.
ation, but it did not emancipate them from present
At be that the Jews were a stiff-necked

blessed that

As all the evil that bad been predicted had been inflicted
on the Jewish people, so would all the promises which
God had addressed to them be fulfilled. If God was a
God of truth when he threatened—was he not also
a God of truth when he promised ? (Hear, bear.)
Our duties had relation to the second period of Jewish his-
tory, while the nation was dispersed and degraded, and
while, by the Gospel, some might be saved. We were
called on to preach it to the Jew as well as to the Gentile—
and to the Jew first. (Cheers.) The society had eighty-
four labourers of different descriptions employed, of whom
forty-seven were converted Israelites. (Cheers.) The
position of these persons varied with their capacities.
The chief stations were in London, and abroad at Jerusa-
lem, Oran, Bagdad, Bucharest, Cracow, Warsaw, Lubeck,
Danzig, Berlin, Stettin, Breslau, Frankfort, Amsterdam,
Rotterdam, &e. ; and in all these places the agents of the
Society were making known to the Jews the great truth
that Jesus was the Christ. In London there wasan Episco-
pal Jews' Chapel, in which during the past year 9 adult
converts had been baptised. There was also a school in

connexion, in which 50 boys and 50 girls, children of
Jewish parents, were receiving Christian instruction.
There was a Jewesses' Mission in London, which Mrs.
Hiscock had charge of. This lady gave a curious account,
showing the collateral effort of the Popish Aggression.
That lady said in her Report :
I cannot help mentioning the great effect the papal aggres-
sion (as it has been called) has had upon my intercourse with
Jewesses. I believe nothing has convinced them so much of
the truth of the New Testament as that subject. When I open
that sacred book and show them that the leading features and

Tacteristies of the Roman apostacy were all pliinly predicted

at the time when Rome was notoriously a Pagan City, they
cannot account for it, or even attempt doing so, and are anxious
to hear what is said respecting it.

The Pope had little thought that he was producing this
benefit to Jews or Gentiles when he made his recent
assault. (Laughter.) The mission at Jerusalem was
under the management of the bishop, and so well had
the good work sped there that a writer in a Jewish news-
paper complained " that the piety of the Protestants in that
place was boundless, and that proselyting was carried to
an extent that had no parallel in any other place." He
thanked the Jew for teaching him that word ! ( Laughter.)
The Bishop stated in his last annexed letter,—

The Jews are becoming more and more accessible and con
vinced, not only that we love them and seek their good, but
also that we conscientiously avoid the practice of any unlawful
or doubtful means of prosecuting our work among them ; for
example, when, a few months ago, the rabbies bad prohibited
their people to work for or to employ the proselytes, or to have
any dealings with them, we observed that if that was carried
into effect, we should be obliged to place ourselves in the same
position as the proselytes, and cease from employing Jews;
their answer was, that our conscience would not allow us to

follow a plan so ruinous to the interest of many poor Jews.
It was, however, a problem whether we in England could
always avoid making use of the weapons that others em-
ployed against us. (Hear.) At Oran, on the north coast of
Africa, the aspect of the missionary's work was very
encouraging. The Chief Rabbi had, under the direction
of the Government, made proclamation in the synagogue
that no Jew should use offensive language or otherwise
molest the missionary on pain of severe punishment.
(Cheers.) In Warsaw, Lublin, and the other missions,
their labours were most fruitful. Before resuming his seat
he wished to expostulate with those persons, if any were
then present, who had prejudices against this work. There
were many people, he had reason to believe, who enter-
tained such a prejudice ; for he missed from the list of
subscribers the names of many who subscribed to the
noble Church Missionary Society. But why should those
who aided in preaching the Gospel to the heathen, not aid
in preaching it to the Jews ? Was it because there was
nothing to show for the work? Was it because they had
not numbers of converts to show ? That could not be;
for when a Jew was converted he joined the Christian
community, and there was an end of the matter ; and
though he became a trophy of the victorious labours of
the Society, he could not be held up as such—except per-
haps the 47 of them who were now labouring for the
Society. (Cheers.) How strange it was for a Christian
minister to be told by Christian gentlemen—ask me for
money for anything else except for the conversion of the
Jews. If it were said that they were a stiff-necked race,
covetous and vile, be it so ; bit the worse they were the
greater necessity for converting them. The righteous
were not called, but sinners, to repentance. He implored
these persons to divest their minds of their prejudices;
and he besought them to send the glorious Gospel to the
Jews as well as to the Gentiles, for it was a Christian's
duty to help them.

The Rev. Dr. KEARNS, on presenting himself, was
received with applause. He said that after the lucid ad-
dress which had brought the subject before them by one
from whom it was so frequently their happy privilege to
hear, it was unnecessary for him to make any prefatory
observations, but to ask attention to what might be con-
sidered dry details connected with the Society. It had
been his privilege to reside in Jerusalem and the Father
Land for some years—(hear, and applause)—that land,
which was once typically designated as a land flow-
. ing with milk and honey, now lay in dreary desola-
tion, withering under a just God's displeasure, while the
rightful owners were scattered about the earth, having
not a place to set their foot which they could call their
own. Jesus!lem itself was but a wreck and ruin of what
it once was, while some five or six thousand still clung to
it, although not in its former greatness and splendour.
The rev. speaker then gave details of the good effects
already worked and being accomplished through the
agency of the society at a vast number of the society's
stations. At Jerusalem, there was a school in
which there were being educated thirty children
of Jewish parents : and the congregation on Mount
Zion number nearly forty, independent of the chil-
dren of converts ; and, moreover, the report furnished by
the bishop of the district of the progress of God's work
was of the most encouraging kind. He would next call
attention to Cairo, the bishop of which station was once a
Jewish rabbi. He was now labouring with much
success in the cause of Christ. A great feature
which marked the progress of the course of christianity
amongst the Jews was the great desire which pervaded
the Jewish mind to possess and peruse the Bible for
themselves. As an illustration of what may be antici-
pated from this, the rev. speaker stated that a
Jew called upon a missionary and asked to have
a Hebrew copy of the Bible, saying, " There is nothing
about Jesus in this." " 0, yes,' said the missionary, " it
is filled with Jesus," and pointed out to him the fifty-
third chapter of Isaiah. The Jew then asked for his
money to be returned, as the copy furnished had
been interpolated by the Christian Gospel. The Jew
named the matter to his rabbi, who assured him that the
copy was a perfectly true one, and attempted to explain
away the difficulties which presented themselves. " Well,"
replied the Jew, ," if this be the writing of our distin-
guished Isaiah, we must, then, become Christians."
(Hear, hear, and applause.) One of the great means
by which the rabbies sought to keep the Jews in
darkness, was just that adopted by the Romish priests,
to keep their people in thraldom,—by withholding from
them the entire Word of God. At Bagdad, where one of
the Society's missionaries was labouring with considerable
success, the Jewish population was about 10,000 ; and
God's work was progressing most encouragingly. At
Salonica the work was also progressing favourably. At
Cracow, another station, the Jews were not unfre-
quently found reading the New Testament, which was
not formerly the case ; and a man of influence amongst
the Jews here lately lamented that the change
amongst his countrymen was so great that at the
hateful name of Jesus no Jew could now be found to
spit, and would mention the name without the appearance
of hatred or contempt. At this place, within the last
year, there had been baptised 53 converts. At Trieste, a
spirit of inquiry pervaded the Jewish population which
was altogether unparallelled in times past. In Russia, a
great and mighty empire, containing 2,000,000 of Jews, a
great desire was manifested to become possessed of, and
to read copies of the Word of God ; indeed so great
had been the demand for the Scriptures here, that
the society had been unable to supply it, and in
consequence had sent over stereotype plates, in order
that copies might be printed in the district. At War-
' saw, in Poland, eighteen Jews had been baptized within
the last year. The operative institution here contained
about twenty-three inmates ; and there was a chapel
which was crowded every Sabbath with Christian Jews
and Gentiles, and also with unbaptised Jews, who not
unfrequently mingled with the congregation. As an illus-
tration of the progress which the doctrines of Chris-
tianity were making in this district, the rev. speaker
stated that it was the custom that when a Jew
was on his death-bed he should make some
declaration or leave some injunction to his surviving
relatives or friends. On one of these occasions an ancient
Jew, of experience and 'observation, said—" I am certain
I die a Jew—certain that my grandchildren will die
Christians ; what my own children will die, I cannot tell."
Since the operations of the society here, about 300 Jews had
been baptised in the Christian faith. In the Duchy of Posen
there was a population of about 8000 Jews, and there were
here many bright promises of success, as well as present
fruits; but the most pleasing feature was that of the
schools, of which there were nine, in which two
thousand five hundred Jewish children were being
educated in the principles of Christianity. At Danzig,
darkness, ignorance, and superstition had maintained ;
but the pediment of long standing had given way, and the
New Testament was now in many Jews' houses found to
constitute one of their little stock of books. At Konigs-
berg the scriptures were widely circulated and extensively
read. In one year £ll5 had been expended in copies of
the scriptures for circulation. There were here about 1,000
Jewish converts, and twenty-two had been baptised during
the last year. Berlin had been an important station
for a long period. This was a sort of rendezvous
for Jews who had been dispersed or expelled from other
places by hostile persecution. Several distinguished
families whose names figured in the ancient books of the
Jews, men of science, literature, and learning, had be-
come Christians • and in Berlin alone' the number of con-
verts was 2,500. Of these there were twenty-six professors
in universities, and upwards of one hundred occupying po-
sitions in the learned societies of the country. Two hun-
dred Jewish convertshad been baptised within the last year,
and within the last eighteen years, two thousand two
hundred ; but the general average of baptisms was
about 120 annually. It was not unfrequent to hear here,
too, of unconverted Jews standing up to defend the New
Testament. At Frankfurt-on-the-Maine, a great desire
for reading the Holy Scriptures bad also been awakened.
At Amsterdam, rationalism, or a sort of infidelity, had
broken the fetters of Jewish superstition, and was letting
the deluded and benighted Jews at liberty by awakening
in them a spirit of inquiry, which, in many cases, led to
the embracing of the doctrines of Christianity. After al-
luding to other districts, and instancing a number of
cases illustrative of the good effects of the society, the
rev. speaker called upon the meeting to aid them in the
grvelllc which it was the objectof thesociety to carryout.
in a longeandWm. eloquenteA nextspeech, In
every workwhich w
addressed th e meeting

undertook for the benefit of our fellow-men and glory
of God, it was very desirable to have a clear under-
standing of the precise objects and principles in view.
The object of the London Society had been already stated ;
and interesting details had been given of the successful
operations of that society, and he wished to be allowed to
add a few observations by way of reminding them of thevast
importance of the work which had brought them to-
gether that evening. The details were of a most cheer-
ing character. There could be no doubt that there
was a fierce conflict now going on in the world between
truth and error. God was on the side of truth—the
devil was promoting error ; and upon which side
we stood ranked was an all-important question
to determine. And how were we to determine this ?
There was one book to which we must appeal—this was
the book of God, containing his inspired mind and will.
The great object of the society was to preach the Gospel
to the Jews and to circulate the Scriptures amongst
them ; and he, for one, had be n gladdened by
those truths to which reference had been made. A
diligent, earnest, persevering effort to disseminate the
Scriptures amongst the Jews would be the safeguard of
England against Rome. The speaker, after illustrating
his point, called upon the meeting for their aid.
The Rev. JAMES COHEN next addressed the meeting,
but had not concluded when our reporter left.
During the proceedings a collection was made.

Sermons in aid of the Society were preached in various
churches of the town and neighbourhood on Sunday; the an-
nual public breakfast will take place this morning at the Adel-
phi Hotel ; and this evening public meetings will be held at the
School-room, Seaforth ; at W. Clement's School-room, Wind-
sor ; and at St. James's School-room ; at each of which a Mem-
ber of the Deputation and other Clergymen will attend.
