TO THE EDITOR OF THE SPECTATOR.

12, Ordnance Row, Portsca. 10th February 1842. SitiA paragraph appeared in your paper of Sunday last, stating there was a schism among the Jews in England, and that the Synagogue at Portsmouth had acted without the sanction of the high Jewish authorities.

Permit me to state most distinctly, that there is no foundation in the above statement relative to this congregation. Your insertion of the above will much oblige, Sir, your obedient servant,

IIENRY M1CHAEL EMANUEL,

President of the Portsmouth Hebrew Congregation.
