TO LORD JOHN RUSSELL,

MY LORD,—I have a brief suggestion to propose i°
your Cordship on the subject of religious toleration. The
Jews, in all human probability, will soon be admitted to
partake in the legislation of the Church and State, If
such a misfortune be permitted to fall on our hitherto fa-
voured land, a similar toleration should, on the same
principle, be required from them. In the bill now be-
fore Parliament, I would suggest that a clause be intro.
duced to enable members of the Established Church t°
have a voice in the management of Synagogues. This 13
not asking too much ; should liberalism be one sided ?
With much respect, I remain, my Lord,
Feb. 14, 1848. A CHURCHMAN.

Mr. Napier will be returned for Dublin University un-
opposed. We believe he will be proposed by the Rev.
Dr. Singer.
There has been a serious emeute at Vienna, in the
course of which the windows of the house of one of the
archdukes were broken.
The miserable wreck of the fine Neapolitan army as'
sembled at Palermo had, with their commander, the Duke
of Majo, and General de Sauzet, reached Naples, having
by a mere chance escaped being cut to pieces to a man.
A very alarming discovery has been made of counterfeit
American eagles and half-eagles, so ingeniously executed.
that one of the New York papers says the operation could
only have been perfected in the mint.
A letter from Alexandria, of the 29th ult., states that
the Pacha has had a very severe attack of dysentery,
attended by unfavourable symptoms. Although better,
he was in a weak state. Great excitement was felt at
Cairo and Alexandria.

The Nenagh Guardian says that a case of altar denun-
ciation occurred lately at a chapel near Nenagh, and that
the Iromish Bishop, Dr. Kennedy, had investigated it,
and the party implicated, the Rev. A. Nolan, had sub-
mitted without going into any defence or exculpation.
REPRESSION OF CRIME.—The Tipperary Vindicato►'
states that the Very Rev. Mr. Burke, the parish priest of
Clonmel, advised his congregation on Sunday last to asso-
date for the purpose of repressing crime, in allusion to the
horrid murder of Manning.
FRANCE.—The Chamber of Deputies divided on Satan-
day night, when the amendment of M. Sallandrouzet
Pledging Ministers to reform, was rejected by 222 to 189 f
giving Ministers a majority of 33 only. The opposition
then declined to vote upon the ensemble• of the address,
which was adopted by 241 to 3.

JEWISH DISABILITIES BlLL—Amongst those veil
voted for the first reading of this bill on Friday, we fin,'
the names of Sir T. B. Birch, E. Cardwell, A. Henry'
Lord G. Bentinck, J. Brotherton, Sir E. N. Buxton. R.
Cobden, B. Disraeli, W. Ewart, W. E. Gladstone, Sir ./.•
Graham, Lord R. Grosvenor, J. Heywood, W. Jackson,
Sir:J. Jervis, Earl of Lincoln, Sir R. Peel, T. Thornelyt
Sir J. Walmsley, and J. Walter. The following are
amongst the minority against the bill :—J. W. Patten,
Lord Ashley, Lord H. Bentinck, Viscount BraekleYr
Marquis of Douro, Sir P. Egerton, W, T. Egerton, fl•
Goulburn, Marquis of Granby, G. Hudson, Lord Loges-
tre, Sir R. H. Inglis, Hon Col. Lindsay, Hon. Col. Lovo-
ther, Col. Peel, Col. Sibthorp, R. Spooner, R. Stephen'
son, J. Tollemache, and Lord C. Wellesley.
Mn.M J. O'CONNELL IN PARIS.—The soirie was given
on Wednesday night, at the Jardin d'Hiver, in honour of
Mr. J. O'Connell by the Jeunesse Catholique, but front
the exclusion of ladies, and the absence of all proper or-
ganisation, the display was wholly unworthy the occasion.
The guest of the evening was received with cries of " Vive
O'Connell !" mingled with those of " Vive la Liberte
Religeuse !" and Viva Montalembert !" That noble-
man was not, however, present, being prevented fool
attending by continued' illness. A few words of welconle
and compliment were addressed to Mr. O'Connell on his
arrival, to which he returned an appropriate reply ; this,
and a triumphal air from a military band, completed the
reception. The general feeling of all present was minor'
ance and regret at the total want of the necessary ar-
rangements, and the evident incapacity of the managers
of the affair to carry out what was doubtless a well-meant
compliment, but in which the kindness of the intention
was altogether marred by the mode of its execution.
SHAKSPEARE'S RELIGION.—Those of your readers wile
are interested in the discussions relating to Shakspeare's
biography, will recollect how ingeniously Mr. Hunter se-
counted for the disappearance of his M.SS., by supposing
that the religious zeal of his descendants prompted there
to destroy any papers relating to theatrical matters. Con'
nected with this subject, I wish to call your attention to
document in Halliwell's " Life," which seems to hay.e
escaped your notice,—or perhaps you did not consider 1t
of much value. To me it is of great interest; as tending
to establish the religious opinions of the great poet.
refer to the following entry in the accounts of the Chard'
berlains at Stratford, for the year 1614 :—" Item, for one
quart of sack, and one quart of claret wine, given to e
preacher at the New Place, 20d." New Place, as eyed
one knows, was Shakspeare's residence ; and in 1614, he
was certainly at Stratford. The preacher of course be-
longed to the " Retormed religion," or the corporatiq
would not have paid for his entertainment ; and I thin
it was most probable be was invited to New Place bYe
Shakspeare,—for the poet was not connected with the
corporation, and there is no other reason accounting 10,
`
the entry. This would help to dispose of the belief that,
Shakspeare was a Roman Catholic—as stated a hundrel;
years after his death, by Davis.—Correspondent of t 4
Athenmum.

Mr. Reynoldson will commence, this evening, a course
of six lectures on mesmerism, applied to the cure of dig'
ease. The lectures will be illustrated by numerous nail'
sisal and novel experiments. We believe Mr. R. Will 1V
troduce this evening to his auditory a young lady, w 1,51
by his mesmeric treatment he has partially cured of PI"
monary consumption.
COOPERING.—An advertisement interesting toll
Mr.
coopering trade appears in another column. Mr.
wishes to exhibit to the trade a cask which has ee
.
coopered at the Albert Dock.
