writes from Paris that plans are forming
to prevent the continual dispersion ofthe
Jews, whom the sternness of Russia ex-
pels from its soil, and who are being

initiate the United States.
The measures taken by Russia, he
points out, are only the natural conse-
quence of its terror on account of the
tremendous increase in numbers in this
prolific people, which threatens to sub.
merge the national race. The Emperor,
under pressure of the synod, spurred on
by orthodox subjects, has had to take
some note of this formidable increase in
the Jewish population, which has reach
ed at this moment the numbers of 5,000,-
600, aud which, with that capacity for
increase which characterizes it, will
exceed in forty years the orthodox popu-
lation of Russia. IT is for these reasonsi
and in this connection that q very serious
inquiry has been made in all the great
centres of Europe, and reports have been
drawn up, from which it appears that in
almost all the great centres there have
been established in the midst of the nine.

Europe, actual markets for slaves, and
that under the form of legal 6ctions men
are bought and sold and become, like,
beasts, the property of the buyers.
According, to these reports, there exists
in the city of London, in the east end,
quarter of $4,000 Polish, German and
Russian Jews, who have established
themselves almost autonomously, and
are fast increasing, both in the course Of

But by the side of this horrible market
exists an enslsved population, having no
connection with any other, which remains
at this very hour startling fact, a market
of men hidden in corner of this noisome
enclosure. Every Sunday at the hour of

neither the town, nor the language, nor
any living person. There they become
the prey of a man who is an actual slave
dealer. He keeps and feeds them till the
