The Fashionable World of England

The Fashionable World Of England
has been in state Of high excitement,
IN consequence Of the sudden separation
OF the wealthy Lord Ward and his
young bride. II is not six weeks since
Lord Ward married Miss De Burgh,
the daughter Of Mr.. Hubert DE Burgh,
and il is not quite fortnight since the
lady returned to the parents, and the
noble lord set off the continent. The
lady has with her, the sympathy oftic

the subject, it is his misfortune, rather
then his fault, tha, this un,oward Sc
paration has become necessary.

JUDAISM IN EUROPE.

spirit Of just and most commendable ,ol-
Grafton appears 10 be gradually gaining ground
in different parts of Europe, as respects the
civil and religious liberty of the Jews. In
the principal states of Germany, in Austria
Prussia, and Hanover, those who belong 10
''the faith of Moses" are now almost en-
tirely emancipated from ancient rcstric-
lions and, judging from the tenor of recent
accounts, their department is such as to
attest the propriety of such changes. But,
on the other hand, the policy still pursued
by Bavaria and SaAony, and Russia in par
ticular, indicates that the governments of
hose countries continue TO be influenced by
the old leayen of bigotry and superstition.
Thus las we gather from L Unirers Isrdelite)
Saxony is on the point of Withdrawing from
some hundred of Jews the privileges gran
ted 10 them by the vote of the Legislature,
and confirmed by the King while Bavaria
continues its oppression of 10000 of the
same faith, and thus indirectly contributes
TO increase the tide of emigration now so
strongly setting in from that region 10 the
United States. Our readers have, doubtless,
become accustomed by this time TO the
frequent publication by the Autocrut of all
.he Russias, of some ukdse concerning the
Jews of Russia and of Poland, setting forth
regulations and prohibitions affecting their
costumes, and even their boards ! "ln
civilized Europe" says the paper before
cited ''it is difficult 10 understand why the
Emperor of Russia should prescribe the
caftan and the cap for nobody ever thinks
of reproaching the English Quaker with
their distinguishing costume. Did the Au-
tocrat, when he issued his destructive de-
crees against long hair and military queues,
envy the title given 10 NAPOLEON BY his
soldiers, of "7hc Little Busybody 2" On
the other side, the Government of the Sub
lime Porte (,he same journal seems to
,hiuk) is animated by a spirit Of noble toler-
alton with the reference TO the subject of
Judaism, which might cause more than one
country of Europe which profess TO be
'civilized" and Christian" 10 blush with
| shame.
The position now occupied by Great
Britain on this subject, is already known 10
our readers. The bill introduced into Par
liment, by Lord JoHN Russell, having in
contemplation the removal Of 'Jewish
Disabilities" and the claim of BARON DE
RoTHscrLD, TO 4 seat in the House of Com.
mons, as one of the members from the city
of London, are matters which has already
attracted no ordinary share of attention, both
in the Old World and the New, amongsl
those who are curious TO know whether, in
the course of time, Jews will not become
entitled 10 sit in the Parlment of Grea
Britain, Just as their brethren now in the
French Chamber of Deputies and the Cou

From the Louisville Journal.
THE ERRING ANGEL.

Twas long before this world OF ours
BY human footsteps had been trod,
That cara came 10 Eden's bowers,
Fresh from the presence of her God.
And while her radiant wings were yet
Unfurled and trembling in the air,
She seemed so changed as to forget
Her Heaven and all the bright things
there
Not that her hear, had ceased TO feel
That glow of rapture which is known
By none but those bright ones who kneel
Around Gods ever-during throne.
But gazing on that lovely spot,
No wonder that her soul forgot
The fair and happy realm which lies
Far, far beyond the starry skies.
And there in that enchanting place,
She loitered long and wondered why
1t was not peoped with a race
OF beings from her native sky.
And oft she wished and sighed 10 dwell
Herself within world so fair,
With some one who could love her well,
And deem ii Heaven TO linger there
With some one on whose willing arm
She might recine without a tear,
And know his heart was beating warm
With the divinest love for her.
"Ilow sweet" said she, "how swee,
'tw0uld be
To lnger here amid these bowers,
Where every bush and every tree
Is fragrant with lis sunny flowers
How sweet with him whom could love,
To kneel upon this grassy sod
And having tuSued our eyes above,
Pour out his soul in prayer 10 God
IuiapJ II ,ypyis no ,oorp Ike lljsS
To live thus ia world like this.
And IN her eye the trembling light,
Of her pure spirit softly shone,
And her sweet face, before so bright,
A more angelic smile put Oh,
But. gazing up in,o the air,
She saw a lone star tUiukiing there,
And knowing that the bright orb shone
On none but those who'd strayel SO far
From God, and his eternal throne,
She blessed the giory-beaming star
And kneelng on the green earth there,
Lifted her trembling hands TO Heaven,
And offered up fervent prayer,
That her crushed heart might be for
given.
And, ere the angel ceased to speak,
The tear which had sutfused her cheek
Fell to the earth and stiled the pain
Which had SeHed on her thTODOinS brain
Poor cara She was far away.
From all that bright and Joyous throns,
Whose lips are breathing day by day
An endless round of prayer, and song
Yes. she who had been first each morn
To wake the harp around the throne,
Was now Oh earth, and most toTIorn
or ali Gods angels aud alone.
But he who saw his crring child
The moment she had learned 10 err
Behold her now repent and smiled
That smile pardon was 10 her,
And looking upward through her tears,
Which now were flowing faster still,
She said God, thou hast stilled my fears
I'll 20 to thee, | will, | will"
And bidding earth long farewell,
| She breathed and did not breathe in vain,
| The dnlcet words whose mystic spell
Should plume her wings for HEAVIER
again
And whereupon that fatal ground
The tears of her repentance fell,
| A light of glory beams around
And renders Eden followed ground.
