In New Yotk, and generally throughout this

tbey live lo quietly that nolea one (toes into tteir

ourcitixen know tbem socially, ill are too will

although, u a whole, tbe Jew have neglected
education, and comparatively few -have accepted
th mean of mental improvement placed withio
tbeir reach by the Government nnder which
they live, some have (topped fbrtb from the
rank, and, braving th Christian prejudice that
have been accumulating for age, have drawn tbe
attention of mankind, and left their name on the
pace of history. Such instances are not-very
common, because the Jew for the most part are
content to live quietly and unostentatiously, and
those who are remarkable for their lntelleotual
power ar ao inolined to give their undivided at
tention to tbo study of ancient records and com
inentaries. Still tho Jew in Europe frequently
make valuable contributions to literature and art,
and it ia not unusual on tbe continent to find
them holding professorship. Such name as
Rothschild, d Israeli, lteethoven. Mendelssoho,
and Kacbel illustrate the variety of their talents
and tbe greatness of tbeir capacity, and there is
no reason to doobt that, under favorable circura-
stanoes, and with- such incentives as a fixed na.
tional habitation could ouly furnish, tbey would
develop tbe aame genius that was manifested by
their early lawgivers, generals, and historians.

if generally pursued, could not give that knowl

tion in our day. -- The minds of such student
may be cultivated, but they are lot enlightened.
There are seventeen synagogues in iNew iork.
The first was erected in Mill street, now South
William street, in 1729, where the congregation
worshipped for more than a century. Some
twenty hre years or more ago, they removed to
Crosby street, and recently bare dedicated a new
synagogue ia West Nineteenth street, said to be
more imposing in appearanoe tban tny otber in
tbe United States. It is built of Nova Scotia
(tone, in a style combining two orders of archi
tecture tho Ionic and Corinthian. Ihe entire
cost of the structure and it site was about
1110,000..
Tbu city also contains a hospital, supported
at the. expense of the Jews, and, aa a proof of lib
erality really existing among them, for which tbey
ar rarely credited, it may be mentioned that two
years ago they raised $10,000 as the nett pro-
eeeas oi a nan given io sustain u i reparations
are making to repeat the experiment. Six months
(go $20,000 was raised by the Jews of thia coun
try, numbering cut loU.UUU, tor their brethren
in Morocco, who were suffering from the war
then raging.
In Philadelphia, members have estab
lished seven Hebrew congregations, two educa
tional and eleven charitable associations, and a
publication society. I
Tbe Jews are scattered over me wnoie coun

and towns. Throughout the W est,' especially,

- A movement ha been initiated at Paris, sith
the knowledge, and possibly at th instance of tbe
Emperor Napoleon, for the purpose of organizing
the whole people into associations, and establish
ing communication among? them. They bar
long cherished tbe expectation of returning to
the Holy Land. May some of them not think
that tbeir restoration draws near J ' Tbe signs of
the times- encourage the hope. Tha Turkish
Empire is falling in pieces, and the occupation of
tbe ancient Canaan by an essentially trading peo
ple, when the Suez canal (ball have been opened,

of the world. It is said that Baron IloiLschild
is intimate with the Emperor,- and, ambitious to
distinguish himself in tbe service of bb nation,
keeps the project constantly before him.

Influence of the Bible III Preserving tbe rarity of
the English Language.
It requires no unpardonable amount of enthu
siasm in tbe American scholar to believe that tbe
circumstance of the present version of tho Eng
lish Bible having appeared at the time it did,
had some providential reference to the wants of
the new empire just then about to rise in tbe
West. This version, destined so long to bo tbe
oracle of the Anglo-Saxon 'race, was published
just nine yean before tbe l'ilgrima landed at
riymontu- Now, it U safe to assert and would
bar required no uncommon power of prophecy
then to foresee, that whatever new Torsion might
thereafter appear io England, the Bible which
those worthies brought with them, which tbey
read and prayed over in the Mayflower, out of
which they derived the authority for their new
social and their old ecclesiastical polity, which
was their palladium through all the dancers and
trials of their early settlements, on which tbeir
first civil officers had been semnixed, would
have such a hold on tbe memories Slid Affections
of their children and children's children, that it
would bo impossible here to supplant it by any
other for many generations. Happily provi
dentially, we will sny this version was one of
Such excellence that it was not supplanted by
any other at borne, but baa continued to this day
to teach the two nations, morning and evening,
for two and a halt centuries, along with its lessons
of love to God and love to man, attachment-
reverence, almost for the purest and raciest
English that can be found in our.licerature. In
deed, we imagine that a due estimate of the in
fluence which the English Bible, has bad,' during
so long a time, in keeping the language of these
two Bible-reading people from corruption and from
divergence, would at brst sight appear rxsggefa
ted and fanciful. North' American Review.
Vicissitudes of Rome and niR Popes. Tbe
Papacy is not so near its end as many hope aod
expect. It has survived many a tug as hard aa
the present. Io 1527 the combined German and
Spanish armies of Charles V. stormed and sack
ed Home enacting in its streets the most, diaboli
cal cruelties, burning, torturing ribbing, ravish
ing, and destroying for ten days: Some six
thousand of tbe inhabitant perished, 10,000,000
crowns of plunder were collected, and Pope Cle
ment V 11. paid 4UU,UUU ducats for bis own ran
som. Luther thought that the end oi ivome
had come. But it has survived and recoverd.
Sixty years ago it was io the hands of Napoleon,
who seemed to hesitate whether to crush it or
not. In 1820, 1832, and 1848 it was a prey to
revolution, Garribaldi himself, at tbe last date,
expelling the Pope, who escaped in the disguise
of a footman on a coach box. A republican gov
ernment was then established, but another year
saw him back again, and now he looks for support
from the despotisms which would themselves
tremble at his fall. . His temporal dominion may
be even now at an end ; but dominion is really his
weakness, and not his strength) and when he is
well rid of it, he will reicn as head of tbo 'Itouian
Catholics, with more substantial influence than for
a long time past. English I'nper.-

DISCO I Ell OF 1 CATB H FL0EID1. .
Tbo following account of tbo discovery of a
remarkable cava in Florida, is from a correspon
dent of th New York Journal of Commerce :
Tho strnotureof tho under tra turn of rook
and earth tu Florida ia cavernous to a great ex
tent. Indeed, a far as explorations have been
made, tho ground present ths appearance of a
honeycomb, on aooount of the numerous cavities
whioli are found to exist. Those indentation in
tha surface of tha earth called " sink" abound
here some of them dry, and other partially

nuea vua waier; wnuo too river utsappcar
nnder tho ground, and are seen no more. Flori
da is not only "the land of flowers," but also th
land of wonder.. A few day ago Mr. Henry
Women of New York city, aod myself, started
on a hunting expedition, with tbo intention of
camping out several days. On Saturday tbe
29th of September, wo pursued a deer into a
hammock, and attempting to ride through it, Mr.
Wooten's horse (tumbled into a small sink.
While Mr. Woolen was endeavoting to extricate
his borre, I dismounted, and was engaged in ex
amining a Curious pile of atone, which had at
tracted my attention. On one of them I found
an inscription, as if graven with some steel in
strument, but nearly obliterated by the ravages
of time.
Mr. Wooten by this time bad lod hi horse
safely out of tbe sink, and, on rejoining me, aaid
be bad discovered a cave. Alter vainly endeavor
ing to decipher tbo strange inscription which I
bad found, we each collected an armful of pine
wood to serve as torches. On arriving at the
entrance wo ssw by tbe light of torches that tbe
bottom of the cavern was several feet below us.
Handing my 'torch to my friend, I prepared to
descend, which I accomplished with ease, the rooks
(erring as step. Wooten then banded me down
ao armful of lightwood and a torch, and prepared
to descend further. We uow found ourselves in
a subterraneous passage, ten feet bigb and fifteen
wide. We pursued this passage for nearly half
k milo, it growing larger at every step, and ap.
peering to deocend into tbe earth by an easy in
clination, wben wo unexpectedly found ourselves
in a cave of immense extent. , We explored it in
every direction, sometimes entering small oaverns
which led off from the main cave. We finally
entered a sort of square door-way, and found our
selves in a cavern of most beautiful appearance,
the reflection of our lights against the sides produc
ing a magnificent effect. For tbe first time in my
life I felt tbe full force of that beautiful descrip
tion which Goldsmith has given of tbe grotto of
Antiparos.
- But the most wonderful thing that mot our
view in this cave was a Latin inscription, graven
in the solid rock. ' The inscription stated that a
party of Danes had visited this cave in the year
1050, and that a priest who had accompanied
them had left thia memorial of their visit. The
name of the priest was Marcus Poleus. It a bo
stated that those bold navigators had embarked
on a voyage of exploration, and bad been driven
far south ; also, tbat tbey had visted many large
islands, and, finally, bad landed in a thickly popu
lated country, where tho people received them
kindly, thinking tbem superior beings; tbat
several of their number, together with some
Greek artisans and two priosts, had been left
there a a colony. This is the substance of the
inscription, as far aa it couH be deciphered-.
Now, does not this suggest an important inquiry
to the antiquarian f Is it not probable tbat the
islands mentioned were tbe West Indies, and may
not the country where they landed be Mexico T
We all know tbe ancient Mexicans bad a tradi
tion tbat about fonr hundred years before tbe
landing of Cortes in that oountry, " Children of
tho Sun," with white face, cam to them and
taught them the art of civilization. Is it not
probable that this colony of Danes and Greeks,
with tbeir two Latin priests, were tbe persons re
ferred to by tradition 7 Perhaps many buried
secrets concerning the early history of America
may be'rerealed by tbat strange device J ,

What's in a Name 7 A few days since the
wife of one of our dry goods jobber thought to
astonish her husband by her exquisite, taste in
selecting a dress. Appearing at the breakfast
table in a new wrapper, she exclaimed, "iron t
yon think this a beauty, and only two shillings a
yard French I " French 1" exclaimed the hus
band, " tbat is an American print, which i. am
selling every day at nine and-a-balf cents 1"
A somewhat similar scene transpired at tbe
St. Nicholas Hotel, New lork. A couple df rfis
tingue ladies appeared at ihe breakfast table with
what they supposed to be beautiful French calico
wrappers. A mutual acquaintance in conversation,
remarked that he was astonished at the improve-,
ment in American prints of lato years, enforcing
his remarks by calling tho attention of the two
ladies to the quality of their dresses. "Oh ! these
are French," tbey exclaimed. " I assure you,
Mesdames." suld the lmperturabio gentleman,
" that your dresses aro Manchester priats." Tbe
ladies did not faint, but their elegant French
prints passed info the hands of the chambermaid, -
It is this leny wmcn compels me joooer io
affix French cards.to his American prints, and
keeps down the character of American manufac
tures. America possesses the means ana sum
to compete with foreign countries in the maufh--turo
of everything, if We except rich si! k; nd
when our wives cease to blush in wearing an
American fabrin, beoause it is American, tlfen
will our manufactures assume tbo position their

An Experimental Phlloiophtr Outwitted Ij Cat.. .
It is a common laying that cat has nine lives.
The naturalist, De La Croix, gives an account .of
one tbat escaped a wretched death by outwitting
a philciophical professor. lie lays I once saw
a lecturer upon experimental philosophy place a
cat under tbe glass receiver of ao air pump, for
the purpose of demonstrating that life cannot be
supported without air and respiration. Tha lec
turer had already made several strokes with ths
piston in order to exhaust the receiver of air, .
when the cat, who begyi to feel herself very un
comfortable in tho rarified atmosphere, was for-"
tunate enough to discover tbe source from which
her uneasiness proceeded. She placed ber paw
upon tbe bole through which the air escaped, and
thus prevented any more from passing out of tbo
receiver. Alhtbe exertions of. the philosopher
were now unavailing ; io vain he drew the piston;
the cat's paw effectually prevented it operation.
Hoping to effoct hi purpose, he again let air into
the receiver, which, as soon as tbe cat peroeived,
she withdrew her paw from .the aperture; but,
whenever be attempted to exbaust the receiver,
she applied ber paw as before. Th spectators,
clapped tbeir bands io admiration of the cat's sa
gacity, and the philosopher was eompelle'd to re
move ber and substitute another cat that posses.
ed less penetration, for the cruel and inexcusable
experiment.' ,-'.'
Singular Physical Phenomenon. It ap
pears that a wonderful physical phenomenon was
observed io the East Indie on the 14th of J uly.
At the village of Dburmsalab, a place about .
twelve miles to the south of the Dbaoladbar moun
tains, the inhabitants, at 3 o'clock in the efter
noon, were startled by a aerie of terrific explo- -sioos
which lasted about three minutes. A cloud -
bad settled upon the highest peak of the moun
tain, and from that direction something was heard
whizzing through the airs so near the earth that
all bands were involuntarily raised to shield tbeir
beads. Ao instant after a huge black mass was
seen to fall in the direction of its path, about a
mile away. ' Tbe spot was at once visited, and an
immense block, spparently granite, covered over
with a pitchy substance, had buried itself 8 feet
into tbe ground. When dug out it was found of
an icy coldness, so that pieces broken, from it
could not be held in tbe band. Two smaller
pieces of tbe same kind fell within two miles of
it. The structure of the granite corresponds ex
actly with tbat of tbe mountains, and as tbev are
covered with perpetual snow, the icy coldness
of the meteor suggested a conjecture that tbe ex
plosion tore it from tbe peak, 10,000 feet high,
and carried it 12 mile through the air. Tbe
question was to be scientifically investigated.
Wellington Never Lost a Gun. It is a
singular fact in this man's history that he never
lost a trun to tbe enemy. " Returning Uh him
one day from the hunting field," says Lord Elles-
mere, " I asked him u ne couiu iorm any caicu- .
lation of cuns he bad taken in tbe course of hi ..
career?" "Noj" he replied, " not with any ac
curacy; aomewhere about 3,000,-1 ahould guess.
At Oporto, after the passage of the Dotrro,I took
the entire siege train of the enemj j at Vittoria
and Waterloo I took every gun the enemy had in
tho field ; and what, however, is more extraordi
nary. I don't think I ever lost a gun in the field.
After the battle of Salamanca," be went on to
-explain, " three of my guns, attached to some
Portuguese cavalry, were captured in a trifling .
affair near Madrid, but tbey were recovered the -next
day. In the Pyrenees Lord Hill found him
self obliged to throw -eight or nine guns over a
precipice, but these were all recovered, and none
fell into the enemy'ehanda at all." Brialmon't
