the ttitor : and can readily answer any question put to them , from any part of the Bible , ** From the experience of the course followed in the school it Ls ascertained , that a boy with a moderate capacity may be taught to read both Hebrew and English , write tolerably fair , and know the first four rules of arithmetic in about eighteen or twenty months : and future
experiments will shew to what extent of education this school can arrive by unremitting attention . " The Committee propose the erection of a new building for the school , in which accommodation is to be provided for the tuitkua of girls , in reading , writing and
needle-work . For this purpose , a subscription has been set on foot , which amounts already to £ 2026 . 13 . ? .: amongst the subscribers are several Christian names , and we should be gratified if this notice of so excellent a charity amongst our Jewish brethren should be the means of adding other names to the philanthropic list .

PARLIAMENTARY . Catholic BilL The Bill for the Relief of the Roman Catholics was carried hi the House of Commons , on the third reading , by a majority of 19 , in a House of 413 ; but was lost in the House of Lords , on the second reading , t > y a majority of 39 , a number quite ominous with regard to the interests of religious liberty . In the debate in the Lords , Lord Ashburton contrasted the merits of the Roman
Catholics with the demerits of the Protestant Dissenters , whom he charged with the murder of Charles I . Mr . Canning also , in the House of Commons , spoke of the Dissenters as a foil to the Catholics : the following is part of his speech on the occasion : " He desired the House to contemplate the Catholics in their real character , maintaining that , d priori , a

House of Commons , April 12 . Sect of < € Separatists . " Mr . J . Smith presented a petition from a body of Christian people , dissenters from the Protestant Church , residing in London , who were denominated " Separatists .

They stated that , by their religious scruples , they were prevented from taking an oath , which was productive to them of much
inconvenience and trouble , particularly in matters connected with the Excise . They humbly conceived that they had the same right to the consideration of Parliament that was conceded to the Moravians and Quakers ; and they prayed for such relief , touching the premises , as Parliament in its wisdom might think proper to afford . Mr . R . Shaw presented a similar petition from Dublin , and Mr . Dawson a petition of a like import from Belfast . The petitions were severally laid on the table and ordered to be printed .
