oy toe sews in these political commotions, have by no
means procured for them the favour of their revolutionary
corn-patriots ; on the contrary, we meet with frequent
symptoms of a feeling of dislike and hate towards them, on
the part of those on whose behalf they have been so zea-
lous. We have before us several proofs of this hostile
feeling, in the shape of placards, which have been posted
in the streets of Vienna, all holding up the Jews as ob-
jects of suspicion, and representing them as plotting to.
obtain the mastery over their Christian fellow-citizens
Thus giving another proof how hollow and worthless the
pretensions to liberty and equality are on the part of those
who, while they boast of their humanity and brotherly
love, manifest such rancour, hatred, and unmingled bit-
terness.

The headings of some of these placards will indicate their
general tone and tendency. Thus we have one : " The
German Michael (Michel) and the Jews;" another
headed " Fresh Jew-cherries ;" and a third, " Pertition of
the Christian slaves to their Jewish masters, for emanci-
pation of the Christians." Another, again, denounces the
Jews, in consequence of the discovery on the Jewish bu-
rial ground, of chests containing military stores, &c.
As may be expected, the language of these placards far
exceeds all the bounds of reason and justice. Thus to
quote some of the least violent passages :
"Their participation in the political commotions of our times
is a clear proof that they only aim at supreme rule. They sow
'iscontent that they may gain arlu--` -q in the general c-

on-
fusion. They wish to become ministers, princes, regents, that
they may trample on the Gojim in conformity with the doc-
trines of the Talmud. They have started a disreputable press,
and consider that courage, which others denominate insolence.
" Who are the most furious republicans ? The Jews. They
perceive that we will never suffer their emancipation, and look,
therefore, to a republic as their goal.

either fear or rebellion. They only aim at promoting distrust
and dissatisfaction, and would even not flinch from the horrors
of civil war, if it be the bridge leading to their emancipation.
It is to be regretted that for the sake of the dregs, a whole
nation should be persecuted and hated, but the true tact of our

~ennese win Here also know how to separate the chaff from the
corn, and do full justice to the many worthy men among the
Jews. But Nemesis will surely overtake the rabble."

One of these productions:after many accusations, winds
up with the following warning :
"The Jews have already ent n._ nnv. nnnss...

lay and carry their heads high but they y wish now alson to gnaget
everything we have left, and to be the sole masters; this is what
is meant by emancipation ! We have concluded the chapter of
Jewish cunning, but come now to the chapter of Jewish fogy.
"The Jews imagine that when they have rooted out Christi-
anity from among the Christians, by means of their Jewish
Neologian literature, from among the people, by means of their
atrocious pamphle.s, (for the authors of most of these are
Jews,) that then their wishes will be crowned, that then all dis-
tinction of religion will be merged, and the much longed for
emancipation will be obtained.
"This is very possible. It may be so. But mark this, you
Jews! Just as those Jews who have no Jewish faith more, are
now the bitterest enemies of Christianity, so will the Christians,
who have no Christian faith more, be the bitterest enemies of
Judaism."
Such is the prospect which is held out to the Jewish
nation by those who use their boasted liberty as a cloak of
maliciousness.

Some of the more light-minded Jews have been seduced,
rn unawares, to join in the movement that has spread so
›. widely ; but the more sober-minded among them have
4 all along seen the danger that must be occasioned by a
course which every principle of earnest Judaism teaches
k them to abhor. May those who have been misled soon
Po have their eyes open to see the gulf that threatens to de-

pv your them, and attending to the warning contained in the
ra passage last quoted, learn that those who are false to that
Christianity which they profess in name only, will never
g be the friends of those who have been led astray by vain
glory and unbelief, to unite with them in opposition to
that lesson which is taught by revelation, and verified by
the univeral testimony of the history of all nations and all
ages, —" Meddle not with them that are given to
change."

3 I ANECDOTE OF LORD ERSKlNE.—Erskine, when some-
,•a what young at the bar, was engaged in the fallowing case.
g An old gentleman had died at a village inn, and a will
was produced by which all his property was left to as at-
fi3° torney not in the most distant way related to the testator.
;=.+, The widow of the gentleman in question was left in a
r r 1? state of destitution with a large family ,: in vain did she
4 solicit the attorney to assist her in providing for herself
0:1 and family : the matter soon became the subject of gene.
ral conversation, and means were provided to enable the
• g widow to contest the validity of the will, on the ground
of the testator's incapacity to make a bequest at the time
the will in question was stated to have been made and
("1n •F' executed. Erskine w-- f

cessfully advocated his client's cause. In the course of
the trial the defendant brought forward, as evidence to
show that the testator was in a fit state of mind to make
and execute the will in question, witnesses who swore
that they had seen the testator playing at cards. " Gen-

ALLEGED PROPULSION OF A VESSEL BY STEAM IN THE
YEAR 1543.—Thomas Gonzales, Director of the Royal
Archives of Simancas in Spain, published in 1826 an ac-
count of an invention by Biasco de Garay, a naval cap-
tain, who, it is stated, exhibited in Spain, in 1543, an en-
gine, by which ships of the largest size could be propelled
in a calm without the aid of oars or sails. He made an
experiment before commissioners, appointed for the pur-
pose of examining his invention at Barcelona, on the 17th
June, 1543,—the vessel used being a ship of two hundred
tons. Garay, we are informed, wished to keep his mecha-
; but it was observed to consist partly of
two

Is, one on each side of the ship. The expe-
riment succeeded so far, that the vessel was propelled at
the rate of two leagues in three hours ; and the inventor
was rewarded by receiving a sum of two hundred thousand

maravedis, denies naving nis expenses defrayed from the
public treasury. It is added, that the invention would
have been further encouraged had not State expeditions of
great consequence claimed the immediate attention of the
emperor. But it is important to mention, that the au-
thenticity of the entire history of Garay's invention, as
published by Gonzales, has been called into question ;
and it is certain that no practical results of any utility fol-
lowed.—Fraser

EFFORTS OF THE JEWS TO OBTAIN POLITICAL POWER
AND EQUALITY OF RIGHT.—AS was to be expected, the
Jew, who has long lain unheeded and neglected at the
very gates, as it were, of the Austrian Established Church
(and may this be a warning to our own dear Church),

that they had played no unimportant part in the great
achievements of the times, and called upon them to press
forward in the same direction, until they came into full
possession of the rights that were due to them. On
leaving the synagogue, two Jews conducted us to the hall
where the " Sicherheits Ausschuss," a sort. of provisional
government, was sitting, and this we found was presided
over by a Jew ; subsequently to this we met no end of
Jews in the dress of National Guards in the streets, and
shortly afterwards a Jew who was a newly-elected member
of the National Assembly of Austria ; so that altogether
