sacred stream of benevolence, that rose in 1413, has been flowing upwards of 400 years; during which period, while dispensing health and salubrity to numbers, it has been regularly increasing; and if, from what is past, we may presume, through analogy, to look into futurity, it will continue undiminished to the end of time, conveying, to generations yet unborn, the fame of Sir Richard Whittington's bounty, and the vigilant justice of the Worshipful Mercer's Company.

NEW JEWISH SYNAGOGUE,

(Manchester.)

A VERY handsome edifice has just been erected, for the above purpose, in Halliwell-street, Long-millgate, which is in every respect a suitable building for the performance of divine worship. It was consecrated in solemn form September 2nd, 1825: Mr. Oppenheimer, the chanter of the Liverpool synagogue, officiated as high-priest on the occasion. The shops of all persons of the Jewish persuasion, throughout the town, were closed at two o'clock in the afternoon. The interior of the synagogue was decorated as on solemn festivals. At three o'clock, the Elders and chief members, preceded by the Reader, and accompanied by some youths, as chanters, brought in the sacred rolls, under a crimson canopy, and chanting portions of the 115th Psalm. On approaching the gates of the ark, they chanted"This is the gate of the Lord, the righteous shall enter." The reader then declared the synagogue consecrated in due form, and concluded with the following verse:- "Blessed be he that cometh in the name of the Lord: blessed be ye from the houseof the Lord." The afternoon prayers were afterwards read, and an impressive hymn was sung, composed expressly for this occasion, by Rabbi Herschell, of Berlin. The ark was next thrown open, and the sacred rolls carried in procession several times round the synagogue, while portions of the 91, 30, 24, 84, 122, 132, and 100th Psalms were chanted. The sacred rolls were then deposited in the ark, which was closed with solemn prayer.

Just Published.

"Forget me Not." Among the publications that have just issued from the press, is an elegant little volume, bearing the above title. In its neatness, superb engravings, diversity of materials, and design as a Christmas present, it bears a strong resemblance to "The Amulet," which we have reviewed in a preceding page. We regret that this did not reach us sufficiently early to appear in the same department.
