BALLOONING AND WAR.—The day before yesterday' (oci
3), the balloon of Monsieur Godard could be see"
Pcschiera, much to the amusement of our gay soldiers.
six o'clock the aerial reconnaissance was over, and the 1
loon having been safely descended in the vicinity. of litO
Nnovo, Godard and two, officers of the French staff, 0
were his companions, hastened to report that about seas d
oxen had been collected by the Austrians at the D° F#
of Pieschiera. A party of Zonaves was soot for
spatched in that direction, and a few hours f`

the captured herd made its appearance e)

LI,D IN.—A SYNAGOGUE.—It is known that a
Congregation has'existed for years at Lisbon. It was ot
however, prnperly organised, worshipped in a private h°,4
and had nu burial ground. We are now exceedingly
tified to be able to announce that, after an exile cofloi
than 350 years, after merciless persecutions and nualed
auto-du-far, the chief victims of which were Jews, a 5111
gogue for the worship of the God of Israel is once niorettei
be erected on the Pyrenean peninsula. We have ale of
before us, from which we learn that at. a meeting helj
the 13th ult.-by the members of the Lisbon congregative
was unanimously resolved to erect a synagogue, and to vot
chase a piece of ground for a burial place, and that Sl'loo
were subscribed for the purpose. Small as this amouet.d.
appear, and obviously inadequate as it is for the attains'
of the objects, we yet know that the members of the attains'
gregation, by no means iu affluent circumstances, taiti
themselves to the utmost in order to raise this amount. d
'erection of a synagogue_ and the re-establishment of Je ibt
institutions in the Pyrenean peninsula are events in ref!
history of modern Judaism calculated to excite deep jute
