enormous wealth of the metropolis the Registrar

the Work-house The competition for subsistence
to say nothing Of wealth, which characterizes Lon

continually falling into bankruptcy. in the large
establishments, where some hundreds of assistants
are employed, the great majority Of them are
broken-down tradesmen. Even these occupations
are obtained with difficulty, and the less fortunate
gradually sink lower and lower, till they meet an
untimely end.
Many English periodicals, intended for wide
circulation, are perfectly saturated with the feel

WHAT THE JEWS ARE DoING.-The Jewish Mes
senger of this week sums up what the professors
Of the Hebrew faith have accomplished, as an Ec-
clesiasticism, during the past year, $500 of the
Jewish calendar. Two new books have been
printed in Hebrew on this side Of the Atlantic
during the past year, though in Europe the labors
of Auerbach Philipsohn, Stauben, ETC., are emf
nently appreciated. A Jewish Professor, Stern, is
now attached to the University of Gottingen.
Three Jewish papers have been started during the
year. viz. at Tunis Mayence and Odessa The
number of papers has decreased in this country
and the Messenger deplores the fact that but one
Or two have any influence"
Five new congregations have been organized
during the year, viz: One at Portland Oregon
one at New Brunswick, New Jersey; one at ST.
Joseph, Mo. and two in New York. The number
OF conseerations Of new synogogues rather exceeds
the average. Places of worship have been ded
Gated at Fort Wayne, Indiana Milwaukee, Wis
consin; Macon, Georgia; Plaquemine, Louisiana
Montreal, Canada East; Philadelphia, Pennsylva
MIA; two at Cincinnati, Ohio Brooklyn Long
Island; and three in New York.
The Hebrew Benevolent Society has established
an Orphan Asylum in New York. One, also, has
been established in Charleston, South Carolina
NO mention is made by the Messenger of any other
benevolent institutions under Hebrew auspices
The recent disturbances in Morocco and Syria
did not affect the Jews particularly. In Morocco
they received ready protection from Moorish
vengeance, are now peacefully enjoying their
usual immunities. In Palestine the Hebrews were
not disturbed at all by the contendng factions Of
Moslems and Christians.
The Messenger says in closing the summary:
We cannot claim that our community as a whole
has progressed as it should. There has been, we
are obliged to our regret to confess, no improve
ment in the religious spirit Of co-religionists
and on this point we forbear to speak more Al
length. Their political status is probably bette
than when we entered on the year which has jus
come to a close; their social position about thu
same.

THE BELL DEMoNsTRArIoN.--The parade of the
friends of Bell and Everett, last evening, was a
magnificent one, and as the long line OF torch
bearers passed along the streets, it was admired
by every one. The burning of Roman candles, the
music of the bands, the clamor of bells, the display
of ransparencies, all added to the effect. Several
persons have given the results of their counts of
the number of people in the procession. The low
est made it 1923, but division Of about $50 had
left when he counted, so that the number, accord
ing to his count, would be l778 The highest
statement we have, makes the number in the pro-
ceBsion 1862, or we may call it in round numbers
1000. In the procession were deputations from
Camden, Wilmington, Norristown, and other
places, which, if summed up according to the num-
bers assigned to each by the Bell men, would
amount to about nine hundred. This would make
the number OF Phiadelphians engaged in the pa
rade, about eleven hundred, including a good
many boys, and good many Democrats, with
whom the supporters OF that staunch old Whig,
John Bell, are now warmly fraternizlng. All these
