There were a great number of Russian and
Polish Jews amongst the crews of the Russian ships which
have lately quitted this port, anti as they served reluctantly,
(in obedience to a decree issued by the Emperor, making
them liable to serviee), strict care was u3ed, while they
were here, to prevent any of them landing, lest they should.
desert. In spite, however, of the precautions, some of
them, we are informed, contrived to effect their escape in
disguise. They complained much of their hard fire and
usage. They were visited on board by several of the Jews
of this town, and supplied with some better provisions.

THE GLOVE TRADE.—WC are sorry that we
cannot report any improvement in this trade. The quan-
tity of gloves manufactured is very seriously lessened.—
The Dorset. Chronicle says that at Yeovil the manufac-
turers are collectively dressing upwards of 10,000 skins per
month less than in December and January last. This great
defalcation of the trade is attributed chiefly to the injudicious
introduction of French gloves into the market, to the great
injury of the English manufacturer.— Worcester Journal.

SETTLEMENT OF THE CATHOLIC QUES-
TION.—It is confidently stated, by individuals who are
considero 1 capable of acquiring correct information on the
subject, that the Most Rev. Dr. ➢luaxnv and the Right
Rev. Dr. DOYLE have been summoned to wait upon the
Duke of WELLINGTON and colleagues, for the purpose of
effecting an arrangement of the Catholic Question, which,
arrangement, it is further stated, is in a state of forward-
ness. Rumour, however, says, that concession will be ac-
companied by conditions.— Waterford Chronicle.

The following custom is said to prevail at
Munich :—Every child found begging in the streets is ar •
rested and carried to a charitable establishment. The mo-
ment he enters the hospital, and before he is cleaned, awl
gets the new clothes intended for him, his portrait is
painted in his ragged dress, and precisely as he was found
begging. When his education is finished in the hospital,
this portrait is given to him, and lie promises, by an oath,
to keep it all his life, in order that he may be reminded of
the abject condition from which he has been rescued, and
of the obligations
misery, and gave h obligations he owes to the institution which saved
him the means by which he
was enabled to avoid it in future. •
