THE jews AND JERusALEM.-Evcryth re-
ating to the Jews, at this time, bears more
than ordinary interest. A general convention
of the Jews in this country has recently been
A correspondent of the Newark IN. J.) Adj

ROME Feb. %, 1855
The projected pilgrimage to Jerusalem is Just
now much talked Of The time is thought to
be suspicious for such demonstration in the
Holy Land now that its Turkish masters are
under the influence of the Allies; the object
being, in the language of circular by the
committee of arrangements, "an effort to re-
unite the two centres of the faith, Rome and
Jerusalem-to carry back the active life of the
present heart of christianity to its original
source"
If all the world neglects the first country of
the faith" continues this appeal for pilgri-
mage, Rome, at least, will ever remember
Jerusalem. We feel, then, firm confidence in
sending an invitation from the Eternal City to
the faithful of the Occident to re- unite for the
feast of Easter, 18th of ApriD near the Holy
Sepulchre."
The circular then suggests that the voyage
can be made under the most favorable circum-
stances, and invites the faithful to assemble
at Rome-where the expedition will receive the
benediction of the Holy Father-as the point Of
departure.
Another publication of similar import has
been made by Count O'Donnell, president of
the Society of St. Servino, at Vienna, which
announces that an arrangement has been made
with the Lloyd line OF steamers, at Trieste, to
carry the pilgrims at reduced prize, and that
the members of the Franciscan Order in Pales-
tine, will afford them the most hospitable en-
tertainment.
The duration of the pilgrimage is fixed at
two months, and its whole expense to each
individual at 400 forms.
. This expedition would appear to be confined
to the faithful of the Austrian States, though in
concurrence with that which is to start from
Rome. Both are expected to leave towards
the end of March. The circulars were issued
on the day of the recent decision of the Imma-
culate Conception.
About the same time circular was issued by
the General of the ssSocety of jesus (Jesuits,
proclaimipg that the sole objects of its organi-
cation is the propagation of the faith, without
any interference in political affairs-that its
motto isA srender unto Caesar that which is
Caesars"
1t is a remarkable coincidence that another
movement has been projected, apparently at
Paris, towards Jerusalem at about the same
time. Mr.. Montefore and DR.. Levy are to
leave Paris on the 18th April with bevy of
workmen, and million of francs, to found
hospital at Jerusalem for the Jews. One
quarter of the sum collected was contributed in
London.

VIRTUE IN MAN.-Ne love to believe
there is more moral goodness than deprav-
ity in human nature. When we see one
tear of pity drop from the eye, it gives
us more pleasure than would the finding
of diamond. There is goodnesS-real
and unselfsh-in the heart, and we have
often seen it manifest itself, to the making
of a scene of sorrow the yestibule OF
heaven. For him who is always picking
out flaws in his neighbors character, We
have no sympathy. He reminds us of
those birds which resort to dead and de-
caycd limbs of trees to feast on the worms.
In the character of most men we shall
find more good than evil, more kindness
than hatred-and why should we seek tc
pick out the flaws and pass over the sterl
ing traits of characterY We hold this tC
be the true doctrine; to portray real good
ness and hold it up to the gaze and admi
ration of all, while we suffer the evil t.
remain in the shade and die. If every
picture of human nature were only pure
and beautiful, We are inclined to believe
that we should have thousands Of such
characters living and loving around us.

BsY- The Journal of Commerce con-
cludes the recapitulation of the many out
ragcs-so called-by the government of
Spain against the United States in the fol-
lowing pacific tone:
"Nevertheless we have no idea that the
difficulties that exist are likely to involve
us in war with Spain. War is unnecess-
airy to eject the result we aim at, and can
only be the consequence of gross misman-
agement on our part, OR an insane folly on
the part of Spain, which there is no rea-
son to anticipate. The precise consequence
of Capt. M'Cauley's mission cannot be
foretold; but We trust that the frmneSs
which the emergency requires, will be ac-
companied by the utmost moderation that
is consistent with the national honor. The
people of the United States want peace
and they will hold to severe account those
who purposely exaggerate the present EN-.
barrassments, for the purpose of involving
us in war. The long chain of provoca.
tions which has been offered by Americans
against the Cuban Government should be
remembered, and mitigate our resentment
at the manner in which they have beel
retaliated.
"Above all, it should be borne in MIND
that the annexation of Cuba has nothing
to do with the present question; that tn,
vast majority of Americans would regart
the acquisition of that island as a nationa
disaster, and would consider the admins
tration of General Pierce unpardonably
culpable if it were to make the outrage.
that have been committed a plea for at
tanning that object. War would be al
unmingled calamity for the United States
and though the chief burden of injur,
might fall on Spain, it would react fatal,
upon our own interests, and if wise coun
sells prevail, it will not be needed

FILIBUsTERIsM AGAINST CUBA.-1on,
of the Baltimore Sun, thus refers to col
lapse of the late effort on the part of the
filibusters against Cuba:
"The Cuban Revolution has probably
come to a conclusion with the execution Of
one of its prominent leaders-Pinto. The
aid expected from the Cuban sympathisers
in the United States was not rendered.
Nearly million of dollars was raised by
the Oreoles as fund of promoting an cx-
pedition from the United States, and that
has been squandered by the agents with
out results. t5.s4.4 pa, .t

A Western Merchant SWindled

Mr.. Alfred Hall, merchant .residing
West, now on a visit to this city for the
purpose of purchasing goods, was on Sat-
urday swindled out of $500 by Augustus
g. Benedict, whose acquaintance he made
at the Pacific Hotel, in Greenwich st. 1t
appears that Mr.. Hall arrived in the city
in the early part of last week, and put up
at the above hotel, where Benedict scraped
acquaintance with him, and by bis suavi-
ty of manner and unremitting attention,
soon gained the esteem and confidence of
Mr. H., and the two were together most
of the time, visiting saloons, theatres and
other places, and eating, drinking, and al
nost sleeping together. On Saturday,
B@@ict, thinking the time had arrived
to put his new friend to some use, borrow
ed $500 from him, giving him as security
a check on one of the City banks for a
much larger sum. Mr.. Hall, supposingal

Mr.. Colestock taken in his own trap!-
Since the appearance of Mr.. Colestock's s

individuals from parts not visited. From

Colestock, but, on the contrary, we pity
him. We believe he has been imposed upon
by false professions of friendship about

that association was formed. We would
