RETURN OF JEWS TO SrAIN.-The war of
Spain against Morocco has produced a no
less singular result than the flocking of
great numbers of Jews to that Spain from
which their ancestors were expelled three
hundred years ago. From that period the
Jews have formed a nation within nation
on the African shore, residing chiefly in the
commercial towns and monopolizing the
Moorish trade in bullion and money They
have deserted Tangiers entirely, and have
sought refuge at Gibraltar, where at the last
accounts many of them were in a most des-
titute and suffering condition. They have
fed not before the Spaniard, but in the an
ticipation ofthe arrival on the coast of the
interior tribes of Morocco who would at
tack all white men indiscriminateIy Their
present situation has enlisted the active.
sympathy of Sir Moses Monte6ore aud the
leading jews of England.

feet into the shaft, and were soon busy at
work, drilling, cutting, blasting, &c. The
candidate and employer saw them well EN-
ployed, then assembled the ladder reached
the surface and with the help of two friends
in the secret, drew the ladder up after him,
leaving ifty-three Republicans hard at work
below, with no means of getting out till the
ladder was replaced. Taking two sections
of the ladder off to hare some near rounds
put in, he left for the polls, a mile distant,
and when the votes were counted at night,
to the surprise of his opponent, he had for
ty-three majority An hour later, there
might have been seen fifty three able-bodied
