-Jews in England, pronounces this week in most unmistake- able language against all projects for a restoration to Palestine, -or for setting-up a Jewish State there. It maintains that the project is impracticable, the Jews being separated in language, in ideas, and in habits ; and undesirable, inasmuch as the Jews have a mission, "that of propagating a sensible view of life, and its duties," which can be best performed by their remaining a cosmopolitan people, with seven millions of people dispersed all over the world. "The yearning for a restoration of the King- dom of Israel is no portion of the ideal of the Jewish religion. It is only an abnormal growth of the delirious hopes of ages of persecution."
