his death. Alas! for religion. Alas! for humanity itself how devoid of both, must be the hearts of these men. My sister was for six years enjoying liberty of conscience as a Roman Catholic in my house; she was their idol and boast all that time-an angel in their eyes. When, after a long and painful struggle of conscience, best known to her late confessor, she comes to church, nicknames and abuse of all sorts are heaped upon her too by an unmanly priest. "I need not here more than allude to their abuse of my friend and brother, Mr. Gayer. It will appear before the public, I expect, at the coming assizes. The effect is already manifest to this country-in the smashing of his windows--the threatening notice to Lord Ventry-not allowing his servants to buy potatoes, turf, &c. in the markets.* One word I 'But I have said enough on this topic. would add. Such is the excitement in Dingle particularly, that it behoves the authorities to be on the alert. We have lived for years as converts in peace with our neighbours, and why not now? They are excited against us. The Lord only knows what may come out of it. May he preserve us. * * * 'This is but small part of what can be proved before any tribunal by old Protestants, converts, and Roman Catholics; but I have now stated enough to assure our Christian friends and the public, that the Romish priests refuse us liberty of conscience in this district, however much it be talked of elsewhere.

May the Lord, in whom we trust, preserve us. greater is He that is for us, than all that are against us. Well may we sing the 124th Psalm. We are still over 150 families, amounting to more than 800 souls, thank God, besides all who have departed this life in the faith, and some who have emigrated. If there be hypocrites and deceivers amongst us, none will rejoice more than we ourselves, that this day should declare them—this fire will try the work of what sort it is. The wood, hay, stubble, will be burned up-the gold, silver, and precious stones will stand and be more purified and established. We have laid the good foundation-the Rock of Ages, Christ Jesus. We build on no other— our material is mixed, like even that of the apostles. We dare not attempt to patch up the crumbling fabric of Rome. We would rather pull it down, and build up its material on our good foundation-'tis the only sure and safe remedy. 'We preach peace and good-will to our people, and pray for our enemies, persecutors, and slanderers, that God may forgive them, and turn their hearts to the faith and fold of Christ-the church of St. Patrick and St. Columbkill, to the ancient Irish, Rome-denying Church-which alone deserves to be called Irish and national, as she alone has given the Divine Word of God and all her offices in the language of our beloved country.' NO HARM IN IT. To the Editor of the Christian Lady's Magazine. MY DEAR MADAM, Perhaps the following account may be added, by way of rider to Dr. Malan's I see no harm in it,' in your last Magazine. It shows how much harm' there is in things which many think harmless, and how inconsistencies are observed, especially by children. is a The governess of a large public institution for the education of children, hearing lately a discussion between the girls, interfered, and asked what they were talking about. She was immediately told, that their subject was the propriety of Miss singing in the chapel of the institution on the Sundays. The chapel is a place of public resort, and is one of the means of obtaining funds for the institution. Miss well-known public-singer, performing at the Opera and other theatres. Now, the observation of some of the girls to their governess was, that it could not be right for Miss to sing at their chapel, as she could not be a good person, for that she sang at theatres, and their chaplain had told them, in one of his sermons, that Christ was not to be found in a theatre, nor in a ball-room. Comment on this, which I have from the mouth of the Governess herself, is unnecessary. I remain, my dear Madam, Yours very truly, ANTI-CHANT. MOGADOR AND THE JEWS. BEYOND Our most sanguine hope has been the result of our appeal Mogador. Would that we could render acknowledgments adequate to the occasion! The following should have been inserted last month; but our readers have many allowances to make for faults of omission, on a plea to be urged by and by. The letter is from the Committee of Jewish gentlemen in London; it was sent to us before the free-will offerings of our Christian friends had reached nearly half their present amount. on behalf of the Jewish sufferers at COMMITTEE FOR THE RELIEF OF THE SUFFERERS AT 'MADAM, MOGADOR. '11, North Buildings, Finsbury Circus, 'Dec. 24, 1844. 'I am directed by this Committee to state, that they gratefully appreciate the benevolent feeling which has induced to advocate the cause of the unfortunate sufferers at Mogador, and to thank you most cordially for your you efficient co-operation. 'I have the honour to be, Madam, ( By order, 'SAMPSON SAMUEL, Hon. Sec.' 'To Charlotte Elizabeth, 'Editor of the Christian Lady's Magazine.' By the public prints we learn that tranquillity and confidence had been in great measure restored at Mogador, through the just and energetic proceedings of the royal Ishmaelite who wields the Moorish sceptre. The markets were plentifully supplied, and customers flocked in; but still the Jews were long before even a remnant ventured to return; for whosoever might become the plunderer, they must be plundered: whosoever the oppressor, they were sure to be the oppressed. Meantime, it was calculated that two Jews per diem died of want and its concomitants, in the places whither they had fled; and no time was lost by the Jewish gentlemen here, in forwarding supplies to the spot. The treasury is rich now; and the God of Israel will prosper it still. We earnestly thank our contributors. Some of the items were very delightful: young children and poor servants assisted to swell the family collection for the suffering seed of Jacob abroad, "beloved for the fathers' sakes ;" and many a liberal soul will be made fat with gladness in the day when the Lord shall heal the breach of His people. Among other contributions, we should have had to record one of between four and five pounds from our own native city, Norwich; so deeply dyed in former ages with the blood of murdered Jews, that it would have been doubly pleasing to us to have forwarded it : but not being able instantly to answer the kind Collector's query as to the mode of transmission, we find she sent it to the Secretary of the London Society, through a laudable anxiety to avoid any delay. Our friends, therefore, who read the Voice of Jacob,' must not look for its acknowledgment there. Every shilling transmitted to us has been forwarded to, and recorded by, the leader of the Anglo-Jewish press-the Editor of |
