The Jews.
Five thousand Jews, we learn by the cable, are going into London City every week, most of them expelled from Russia. The hospitable shores of Albion are open to these poor wretches that they may starve in the midst of plenty, — either they or somebody else whom they displace. A much more pleasant subject is the purchase of a large tract of land in Uruguay by Baron Hirach. The land is cheap, the soil is good, the climate is excellent. Special facilities have been given, thousands will prosper and make the land of their adoption prosper with them. They will leave a country where they are subject to indignities and torturing legislation which has survived the Middle Ages, and they will go to a wilderness where it will be impossible for them to practise the arts they are accused of practising in Russia, and the practising of which is advanced as a reason for justifying the Russian oppression, as we published in our columns only last week.
