THE EXPULSION OF RUSSIAN JEWS.  Eight hundred Jewish families, numbering in all store than 4,000 souls. are under orders to 'eau iieff immediately. From a trustworthy COM• spondent in that city a Deily .111+rs correspondent f.arris that the contemplated expulsion of Jews front :he city and Government of Kieff will affect alto. f,ether at least 15,000 of their number. Thule who lave the means are emigrating, but unfortunately here is a large residuum of poor artisans and their 'amities who find themselves in cruel straits on •eaching the Austrian frontier without money. The Austrian authorities are also refusing domicile tc knish pauper immigrants. The police authorities ire prosecuting raids among the Jews with great ieverity. Unfortunately, it is the poorest class of 'disarm, who as a rule live from hand to mouth, who are compelled to leave the city under the most truel circumstances, whilst the usurers and others if nondescript occupations appear to find means of !ending for a time the laws of expulsion. 'The lumber of those now daily expelled from the city if Moscow averages from 100 to 150 persons of both iexes. On Sunday week, as the result of an extrairdinary police raid, 1390 Jews were expelled. A 3ight raid made in the suburb of Sarjadjs caused he expulsion of 160 Jews alleged to have no resiloutial passports. The rigour with which the new diet is being carried out by the police is causing a roluntary exodus of Jews from the region of Aloe. mw who have legitimate claims to permanent rebid. ince, but are afraid of the penalties now mdiacriminately indicted. The great Jewish centre Odessa is within the pale, but distrust in the axecution of the new edict is now so widely felt that :he ordinary Jewish emigration has grown fourfold luring the put few weeks. Several toreign Jewish louses in South Russia are making arrangements for placing their businesses in the hands of Russian %gents and quitting the country. The new edicts will be put into more rigorous operation after the fewish Passover.  Mr. Justice Kekewich decided Oil Tuesday an, application made by the Attorney-General, at the Instance of the Earl of Lichfield, to sequestrate ,the property of the Corporation of Lichfield for having disobeyed a perpetual injunction granted against them in 1878. This injunction restrained them from allowing the sewage of the city to PAS into two brooks without first being purified.—His lordship, after an elaborate review of the evidence tf the case, said it was clear that the brook was polluted by the sewage, and that Lord Lichfield's cattle were injured. He gave leave to issue a writ of sequestration against the Corporation, but directed that the writ should be in the office for three months. A remarkable suicide on the railway near Coventry was investigated on Saturday by the coroner. A machinist named Tom Stearland, 30, lodging in the Fox inn-yard, Coventry. was seen to throw him;elf on the London and North-Western line, and was ordered off by a foreman ,platelayer. Ste,arland went away, but almost immediately appeared upon ' the parapet of the bridge and shouted. I'm mining," and jumped on to the line, a distance of alit. His bead was terribly out, and he died soon afterwards. It was stated that the deceased had 1 nem drinking heavily, and was salleriag froze Idepressica.—Tbit fury returned s redid st mikadoternporarily imam.
