Jewish Conference at London.

LONDON, October 18.-All the Jew
ish synagogues in England, France,
Germany, Bavaria and generally
throughout Europe, except Hamburg
synagogue, will send delegates to the
approaching London conference. The
object of this gathering is to revise
the Jewish ritual in regard to sew
eral of its provisions, which arc
now felt to be unnecessary, burden
some and out of spirit with the Gus
toms Of the age. The question of the
abolition Of Saturday, now kept as the
Jewish Sabbath, will probably come
up for discussion. Jewish business
men affirm that their church customs
now place them to a disadvantage.
making it impossible for them to do
business more than five days in the
week. They favor either the entire
