TO THE EDITOR OF THE LIVERPOOL STANDARD.

ST. BARNABAS, LIVERPOOL, Sept. 29, 1845.
SIR,—In requesting you to give insertion to the ac-
companying important communication from the worship-
ful the Chancellor of this Diocese, (important alike from
the deeply interesting subject on which it treats, as from
the honoured signature which it bears), I feel called upon
to offer a word in explanation of the circumstances that
gave rise to it.
At the annual breakfast held as usual, at this season,
at the Adelphi, by the friends and supporters of the Jewish
cause in this town and neighbourhood, the Chancellor,
the President of our Auxiliary, kindly presiding, mention
was made of the deficiency still existing in the Jerusalem
Bishopric Endowment fund. This was felt to be a
national reproach, and it was suggested that Liverpool
ought to take some step towards its removal. The mode
of proceeding most effectually came also under considera-
tion ; and names were given In for upwards of an hundred
pounds, as a commencement, before the meeting separated,
that of the Chancellor himself being amongst the first on
the list. Measures are in active progress to give due
effect to this very becoming suggestion : the names of
the contributors, &c., will be announced as soon as our
plan of proceeding is sufficiently matured to be laid with
advantage before the public ; the names however of such as
are willing to contribute to this most important object,
will he thankfully received by me, as the official of this
auxiliary, or by either of my co-secretaries, the treasurer,
or any of the committee.
Meanwhile, I thought this explanation necessary, and
I hope it will be deemed sufficient as an introduction to
the communication alluded to.
I have the honor to be, Sir,
Your obedient Servant,
THOS. NOLAN,
Secretary to the Liverpool Auxiliary to the London
Society for Promoting Christianity
among the Jews.

Chester, September 24th,_ 1845.

MY DEAR S!R,-It is a remarkable coincidence in
the resolution agreed to yesterday by the friends of the
Jewish cause assembled at the A.delphi, that on that very
day a letter was received from Lord Ashley, bringing the
deficiency in the sum raised for the Jerusalem Bishopric
before us, and requesting that immediate attention might
be paid to it.
Permit me to recapitulate the circumstances under
which that debt was incurred, and to leave to you the
conclusion that should follow. _ .

VV
The proposal of founding the Bishopric at Jerusalem
emanated from the King of Prussia ; and the Christian
world exulted in seeing the cause of God's ancient people
taken up by one of the Sovereigns of Europe, and by one
whose talents, as well as moral character, entitled him to
universal respect. It was likewise known that the pro-
posal was made by him, not from any sudden impulse of
zeal in the cause, but from a well-founded conviction,
that it was in this way alone, that the effort for promoting
Christianity among the Jews could be made at Jerusalem
with any prospect of success.
His Majesty was aware that the oriental Christians
would recognize no exhibition of Christianity unless pre-
sented to them in the form of a Church, composed of the
three orders of Bishop, Priest, and Deacon, such as they
had been accustomed to reverence, and that the ac-
ceptance of the Gospel by the Jew depended on the re-
cognition of the Church which offered it.
Under the conviction that it was absolutely necessary
to present a system of pure and undefiled religion to the
Jew, in a form which the Christians of the East would
acknowledge ; the King of Prussia suggested the scheme
of establishing a bishopric at Jerusalem, and instead of
assuming to himself the glory of the whole work, as he
might have done, he left to us and to the Church of Eng-
land the carrying out the plan, and the appointment of
the individual, and took, as his own share, an equal t art
of the expense, by an immediate payment of £15,000, the
moiety of the proposed endowment.
The effort which was made in England to meet this
liberal offer raised a sum less than £lO,OOO, and the ba-
lance of our proportion was advanced, on security given
by a few liberal friends of the society, who were unwilling
that the noble offer of the King of Prussia should seem
to be inadequately appreciated by the friends of the cause
in England.
I grieve to say that after four years, and those, years
which have abundantly justified the wisdom of the sug-
gestion, a balance of £5200 remains, and our liberal friends
who lent their names for the security, are burdened with
a charge which belongs to the Christian public, and which
must not be allowed to rest on the few, who, in confidence
of our support, originally undertook it.
It is impossible to suppose that a debt like this, which,
if taken up by all who profess to take an interest in the
question would be felt by none, should be allowed to re-
main, if our friends were aware of the circumstances under
which it was contracted.

Five hundred and twenty contributors of £lO each would
raise the sum needed, and clear the character of England
from this humiliating deficiency.
Is it too much to hope, after what we saw on Monday
evening, that 170 individuals might be found in Liverpool
who would at once come forward, and expunge in this way
a third part of this common obligation ?
If this was done in Liverpool, could there be a question
that another third would be settled at Manchester, and
Linn. ,liu metropolis aught De lett to complete the remain-
der?

In many good works Liverpool has been accustomed to
take the lead, and I may truly say that your zeal bath
provoked very many.
In no cause has your energy been exhibited more emi-
nently than in that for the Promotion of Christianity
among the Jews, and I can hardly conceive a measure
more honourable in its object, or more consistent with
your general proceedings, than that Liverpool should take
the initiative part in this work, and cancel, by a single
effort, a debt which throws discredit on our national
character.

I enclose the cheque for my own subscription, and re
main, my dear sir, truly and faithfully yours
H. RAIKES.

The Rev. Thos. Nolan,
Secretary to the Association.
P.S.—Pray use your own discretion in the use made
of this paper as to the suggested means for raising the
money.
There are other towns—Bristol, Birmingham, York—
which might claim a share; but I own the smallness of
the sum to be raised seems an objection to any call beyond
the limits of our own diocese and the metropolis.
But this is open to re-consideration.

RAILWAY EXPENSES.—Visitors and strangers are
assured that they nay save a great portion of their tra-
velling expenses by purchasing a supply of Tea and
Coffee, at the Tea Establishment, No. 2, Bold-street,

chong flavour) is sold at 4s. 6d. per,lb., much recom-

THE POTATOE DISEASE.—The state of this important
vegetable throughout the country continues to excite non-
siderable alarm, and the more so as the disease complained
of has been found to exist in most countries of Europe.
A. dispassionate examination, however, of the accounts
which we receive from the various districts of our own
country, satisfies us that the fears expressed and the real
injury done are considerably exaggerated. In some of
the southern counties much of the produce will be unfit
for human food, but will, however, answer for feeding
stock ; but in many places we find the crops are abundant
and of good quality. In parts of Ireland also the crops
are above the average of Oast years. Without a doubt, as
soon as the existing pressure to sell is over, we shall have
potatoes a rather dear article, as, in addition to the quan-
tity injured, we shall be called upon to supply
created by the far more extensive failure in Belgium and
Holland. The Gardeners' Gazette of Saturday says that
the crop will be one of the heaviest there has been for
years. the loss

THE LIVERPOOL COURT OF REQUESTS AND
THE NEW ACT FOR THE BETTER SECUR-
ING THE PAYMENT OF SMALL DEBTS.

The jurisdiction of the Court of Requests, under the
new act, Bth and 9th Victoria c. 127, for the better se-
thi
town ; and on Friday last Mr. Riding, estate agent, ap-
ecxucriintegdtmheupcahyamtetennttoiofnsmamalolndgetbhtes
plied to Mr. Commissioner Lowndes, to ascertain fron2
him whether the j uri•diction of the court would be ,tirsadain gs ucbljaescste
st hi ant ss
en-
larged under the new act, and also whether there would
be any application, under it, of the power of imprison-
ment.
The COMMISSIONER promised to make inquiry on
these subjects, and he would be prepared with his replies
at twelve o'clock on Monday.
Yesterday, at twelve o'clock, the COMMISSIONER, on
taking his seat, Mr. Riding and other parties interested
being present, said, I saw the Town-Clerk and the
Chairman of the Committee of the Court of Requests on
Saturday, and I understood from them that no applica-
tion has yet been made to the Secretary of State with re-
gard to enlarging the jurisdiction of the court. A clause
[the 9th] in the act gives the Secretary of State power in
these words :-
" It shall be lawful for her Majesty, with the advice of her privy
council, to enlarge the jurisdiction of any court of requests or con-
science, or inferior court of record, for the recovery of debts, ur
other court for the recovery of small debts, to all debts and demands,
whether on balance of account or otherwise, or damage arising out
of any express or implied agreement not exceeding twenty pounds."
And there is a proviso in the same clause :-
" Provided that notice of the intention of her Majesty, with the
advice of her privy council, to take into consideration the exp,diency
of making any such order, and of the time when the same will be
considered, shall be given in the London Gazette one calendar
month at least before the same shall be so considered."
I think that about a month ago you (Mr. Riding) made
a similar application to the court. I can only give you
now the same answer as I gave then-that whenever an
application is made to her Majesty's Secretary of State,
upon the subject of enlarging the jurisdiction of the court,
one month, at least, must expire before that application
can be taken into consideration by the Privy Council.
When application will be made, I know not; and what
will be the result of such application, I know not. This
I do know, and no more, that any enlargement of this
court cannot take place in less than a month.
Mr. RIDING.-Will you allow me to ask you-
The COMMISSIONER.-If you will allow me, I will go
on to state my answer with regard to your application as
to the imprisonment.
Mr. RIDING.-That was what I was about to mention.
The COMMISSIONER.-There has been a great deal of
misconception as to the nature of the new Act, therefore,
before I state what I have to say upon the question of im-
prisonment, I will state what I consider to be the meaning
of the clause at large in which imprisonment is mentioned.
That clause, which is the first in the new Act, is divisible
into two parts. The beginning provides in substance, that
whenever there has been a judgment or order already ob-
tained from any court, a fresh order may be made by the
Court of Bankruptcy, or Borough Court, or the Court of
Requests, for payment of the debt by instalments, or at
once. I will now speak as to the costs of an order, when
there is a new order made for payment. The first clause,
as I stated, is divisible into two parts ; one relates to a
fresh order for payment, the other to an order for im-
prisonment. As to the first part, which relates to where
there is a fresh order made for payment, there is a general
Act of Parliament, 43rd Geo. 111, c. 46, s. 4, by which it
is enacted that :-
" In all actions which shall be brought upon any judgment reco-
vered, or which shall he recovered in any court in England or Ire-
land, the plaintiff or plaintiffs in such action upon a judgment
shall not recover, or be entitled to any costs of suit, unless the court
in which such action shall be brought, or some judge of the same
court, shall otherwise order."
As to the first part of this first clause, it lies entirely in
the discretion of the Court of Requests, acting in analogy
with the act of the 43rd, Geo. 111., upon making a fresh
order for payment, to direct that the costs of that order
shall be paid by the defendant. But where no such ex-
press direction is made by the court, the costs paid by the
plaintiff, at the time of the order made, will not be re-
couped by the defendant. The costs of the fresh order
for payment lie entirely in the discretion of the court.
The remainder of the first clause of the new act provides
in substance an authority to the court to imprison the
party for a period not exceeding forty days, neon proof
of fraud, or conduct equivalent to fraud, or wilful default
in payment. It enumerates the cases of fraud, or evasion
equivalent to fraud, and then proc, eds :-
" If the debtor appears to have the means of paying the debt by
instalments or otherwise, and shall not pay the same at such times
as the commissioner or court shall order, or as the court shall have
ordered, in valid] the original judgment shall have been obtained,
or order made-"
The first thing which the creditor will have to prove to
the court before an order can be made under the latter
part of this clause is, that the debtor has the means of
paying the same. The only imprisonment allowed by
this Act is for crime. No costs of the application for im-
prisonment are directed by this Act. The only case in
which the creditor will recover the costs of the application
for imprisonment is, where there is an actual payment by
the debtor in prison under the express words of one clause
of this Act-the third, which declares :-
" Be it declared and enacted, that no imprisonment under this
act shall in any case operate as satisfaction or extinguishment of
any debt or demand; but any person imprisoned under this act
who shall have paid or satisfied the debt or demand, or the instal-
ments thereof payable and costs remaining due at the time of the or-
der of imprisonment being made, and all subsequent costs, shall,
upon entry of such payment endorsed upon the order of imprison-
ment, signed by the plaintiff or his attorney, be discharged out of
custody by leave of a commissioner or judge of the court in which

different circumstances from that clause. This Act does
not restore, as it is supposed to do, imprisonment for
debt against any innocent debtor. The distinction between
civil proceedings and criminal proceedings remains as it
did before this Act. Two years ago imprisonment was
abolished for debts under £2O, and 1 rejoice that it was
so. In the present Act there is one clause which was in-
troduced not by the original framers of the Act, but in
the House of Lords, which I will read : (cl
nause viii.) Wherea.s, it is expedient to protect the actual ecessaries of or
belonging to judgment de' tors from being seized in execution, be
it enacted that, from and after the passing of this act, the wearing
apparel and bedding of any judgment debtor or his family, and the
tools and implements of his trade, the value of such apparel, bed-
ding, tools, and implements, not exceeding in the whole the value
of five pounds, shall not he liable to seizure under any execution
or order of any court against his goods and chattels, '
This appears to be a humane and a wise provision.
I read it as soon as the Act was passed to the
officers of this court who have the charge of the execu-
tions of the court, and stated, if anything was done in
violation of that clause, I should take care that forthwith
that officer should be dismissed from the court. I con-
sider that a humane clause. I consider the act, doing
away with imprisonment for debts under £2O, is a humane
act. I consider that this court, as formerly constituted,
when administered with the greatest humanity, was ne-
cessarily made an instrument in acts inconsistent with
humanity. And I think that the benefit resulting to the
creditors, if any benefit can justify such acts, was by no
means commensurate to the inhumanity of those acts. I
think there is great delusion upon the subject. What
benefit may have arisen in the way of terror, from sup-
posing that an execution against the body may be taken
out, cannot be stated, because it cannot be calculated;
but what benefit has resulted from the actual imprison-
ment of debtors for six years, I have materials to show.
In the year 1838, 165 persons were committed to prison,
by this court, for debts amounting altogether to
£252 is. Id. The costs upon those debts amounted to
£BO 9s. Bd., giving an amount of debt and costs of
£332 10s. 9d, but of these debts and costs £8 19s. were
paid in the court, leaving the amount of £323 Ils. 9{l.
unrecovered by the process against 165 persons. In the
year 1839, 195 persons were committed to prison by this
court. The debts amounted to £251 2s. Ild. ; the costs
to £79 19s. 6d. ; and altogether to £338 2s. 5. Of this
amount £l7 19s. 10d. were paid, leaving £320 2s. 7d. un-
recovered from the imprisonment of 195 individuals. In
1840, 208 persons were committed to prison, by this
court, for debts amounting to £3lB 9s. 3d. ; the costs
were £96 ils. lls 6d., amounting altogether to
£415 9s. Of that amount £2B 14s. Ild. was paid,
leasing £386 ss. 10d. unrecovered against 208 per-
sons. In the year 1841, 172 persons were committed
to prison for debts amounting to £224 12s. Bd. and
£72 12s. Id. costs, amounting together to £321 4s. 9d. ;
£26 lls. Bd. were paid, leaving a balance of £297 13s. ld.
unrecovered. In the year 1842, 227 persons were com-
mitted to prison by this court for debts amounting to
£297 13s. 6d. and costs £lOl 9s. 9d., together £399
Bs. 3d., of this amount £l2 10s. 11d. were paid in pri-
son, leaving the balance of £386 17s. 4d. unrecovered,
after the imprisonment of 227 persons. In the.year 1843,
194 persons were imprisoned by this court for debts
amounting to £265 15s. 3d., costs £B7 Is. 4d., amounting
together to £353 16s. 7d. ; of that amount £36 12s. 11d.
were paid in prison, leaving a balance of £316 3s. Bd.
unrecovered, after the imprisonment of 194 persons.
These are facts as to the imprisonment of debtors under
the old system before the act which passed about two
years ago, since which time real poverty has ceased to be
treated as a crime. There are many fraudulent debtors
I know, and it is well that fraud should be visited with
imprisonment. There are also many extortionate cre-
ditors I know, for in many cases I have reduced the
claims of individuals for gross extortion in this court.
But I know that there are also many humane creditors,
and I believe that in many cases the wish to restore im-
prisonment where there is no crime arises not from in-

The news brought us by the Caledonia, which
arrived in our river on Sunday, is of a cheering
character. The prospect of a collision between
Mexico and America has diminished, the former
country appearing to feel its weakness in the
struggle with so powerful and unscrupulous an
antagonist. We may, therefore, hope that war
may be for the present averted ; and that we may
enjoy our valuable commerce with Mexico unob-
structed. The Mexican Congress had separated
without passing any declaration of war. An
equally gratifying fact is communicated to us by
this arrival, namely, that the ultimatum of the
British and French ministers at Buenos Ayres,
having been rejected by Rosas, those powers have
intervened, to put a stop to the savage warfare
waged by that bloodthirsty man againts the Monte-
videans. The blockade of the city is now removed,
by the seizure of the Argentine blockading squa-
dron by the two powers; and Oribe, the general
commanding the beseiging army, has been peremp-
torily required to draw off his force. That he will
refuse to do so, is quite possible; but, with the
active assistance of the combined British and
French squadrons, we may assure ourselves, that
the lives and property of our fellow-countrymen in
Monte Video are now secure against his ravages,
and that we may congratulate the merchants and
manufacturers of Great Britain, upon having got
possession of a most valuable market, which has
long been closed against their enterprise.

But a fortnight ago the advocates of Sir Robert
Peel's Irish policy were felicitating themselves upon
the idea that he had cunningly contrived to make
certain the peace of Ireland. He had thrown the
apple of discord into the Repeal camp, in the shape
of his "Godless Education" Bill. Thenceforth the
Romish Hierarchy of Ireland were to be arrayed
against O'Connell, and against each other ;—the
place-hunters of Ireland against the agitators of
Ireland. The cry for Repeal was to be smothered
in the scramble for Professorships and sites for
Colleges. Irish allegiance, in fact, was deemed to
have been bought by the concession of a grant for
a system of education without Religion, and loaves
and fishes for a few of her Literati, who were so
pliable of conscience as to hate no confirmed
opinion upon the most vital of questions which can
enter the national mind—the necessity of inculcat-
ing, along with merely secular education, the truths
of the gospel.
By this time, however, we should imagine the
Premier is beginning to awake to a consciousness
of his mistake. The agitation for Repeal goes on,
and increases in the urgency of its importunity.
The men, who were assumed to have been bought,
are even now openly seen at the head of the move-
ment. Their cause gains strength. day by day—
strength, in the first place, from the encouragement
given to agitation and, in the next place, strength
from the discouragement given to loyalty and
obedience. Magistrates and Deputy-Lieutenants of
Counties are punished for the expression of their
adhesion to the alliance of Ireland with. the British
empire, and the Church, of which a British Sove-
reign is the head, whilst traitors and rebels refuse to
be conciliated by the base abandonment of princi-
ple which such a policy displays. The spouters of
Conciliation Hall are in extacies of delight at the
anticipated downfall of the Church, whilst the only
fast friends of Ireland—her Protestant Yeomanry,
—despairing of aid from other quarters, are pre-
paring to defend themselves with their own hands
in the emergency which they see approaching.
The following resolution passed at a numerous
meeting of the Romish Clergy of the diocese of
Dr. M'Hale is a sample of the gratitude which the
policy of Government has earned from that party :
" Resolved—That we feel more and more convinced
that nothing less than a Domestic Legislation can secure
the civil and religious liberties of the Irish people; and
this evidently appears from the recent legislative enact-
ments of a foreign Parliament upon the subject of
Academic Education and Charitable Bequests—passed in
despite of the declarations and resolutions of the great
majority of the hierarchy, clergy, and people of Ireland."
Similar were the sentiments of a meeting held at
Wexford. Everywhere the Priesthood of Ireland
—the men to whom great boons are held out—are
placing themselves at the head of the Repeal agita-
tation, and exercising all their spiritual control over
the people for its advancement, with what success
let the following description of a Tipperary monster
meeting, held last week at Thurles, bear witness :
"The meeting was exceedingly numerous, equalling the
most celebrated of the monsters of 1813. Considering
the immense time which the great mass of horse and
foot, ' the endless droves of asses, and endless herds of
swine,' took to deploy into the road and the vast space
they covered, it will not much exceed the mark,• if the
numbers at the meeting and in the town are taken at
ninety thousand, or one hundred thousand. None
of the demonstrations of 1843 exhibited such a show of
horsemen ; fully 10, or 12,000 farmers, well clad and ap-
pointed. rode in cavalry fashion, four abreast, and not
only among them, but with their pedestrian companions
was the greatest order and decorum visible."
Surely it cannot be maintained that such meet-
ings as these, and the spirit of hostility to England
which they display, can he put down by Maynooth
Grants and Academical Bills, or that they can be
tolerated with safety to the Country's peace. Yet
no where do we see a disposition displayed to re-
press the Agitation.
