10 Condition/of the Jews in the Mus- , eovite Empire, Penal Lxiwa and Contradictory Provincial Re- striotions—Tho Law and the Word, and Is- raglite Republican Rule—The “Kagal,” Its Influence and Authority. ‘The London Atheneum, in an able review of two new books, entitled “The Book ef Kagal— {Kniga Kagala).” “Hebrew Local and Universal Secicties—(Yevreisklya bratsva myestniya | vsemir- niya); by J. Braphmann, (Wilna),”? makes the fol- lowing editorial remarks on the subjects referred to pbove :——- It is singular that no recent traveller in Russia has thought of teliiug us someting about the Kus- bilan Jews. Yet there sre 2,000,000 of them, chiefly concentrated in Poland and the Western Governments. Their condition is curiously anoma- lous: in Bessaravia they are not allowed to live within fifty versis of the frontier, and in other dis- tricts they form thirty-five per cent of the popula- Won, and possess all the property and wealth ef the lace. I Kharkof, ull a shert time ago, no Jew a4 allowed to remain, while in Yeilsavetgrad,- which you Will reach in @ day, your @river will reply to your interrogatories by telling you ivat Uyou continue to call nim a Jew (2atd) instead of a Hebrew he can have you fined twenty-five rubles, While Rabbinical schools are closed in Odessa the Giret synagogue ts being opened ut Moscow; while yor Hebrews in some of the smaller towns are pro- ibited all occupations but usury, Polyakoff stands bigh in the confidence of the government as a maker of railways, and is prevented from buyiug the most maguiticent palace in St. Petersburg only because a lingering seraple forbids the sale of the faiiy chapel to a Jew. The yews in Russia, hampered by rontradictory enactmeuts and resirictions, have almosi created an tmpertum in imperio, and bave their own customs, their ewn dress, thelr own laws and even their own language—at least the mixture of corrupt Germain, Polish, Russian and Hebrew, which ‘they all speak, is known as the Israelite language, and can be heard to advantage at the Jewish theatre at Warsaw. Everybody Russia has regurded the Jews with such contempt and In- diflerence that tae revelauons of Mr. Braphmann— bimself a Christianized Jew—on Hebrew laws and customs, supported by authentic documents from the archives of Wuna, bave excited @ great aston- Isument and have at once reopened “the Hebrew question,” which has beea for some time rising in importance. Some Russian liberals propose various remedies and measures; some, who call themselves very liberal, think the Jew should have no civil rights, while others, with whom we believe our readers will agree, say there is one very simple remedy—abolish all «isinctions and educate the Jews equally with other Russian subjects and there tan be no Hebrew question. ‘With the Hebrew question in Rnssia, however, we have at present nothing to do, and the books of Mr, Braphmann are chiefly interestiag to us as showing the peculiarities of the Hebrew Jaw and life actuatiy isting in Russia, derived trom the Talmud and the ancient Judaic law. ‘The line of Schiller, Die Juden bilden elnen Staat im Staate, as been wonderfully realized in Western Russia and Poland, where the Jews have formed and pre- served io this day in every clly or town « Talinudical municipal republic, of a very aristocratic Klud, im which the patrician caste lave arbitrary aud des- potic power over the piebelans. This governmeat i$ carried on by twe instiiutions, the Kagal ec Kneaer-Hakagal, the communal goverument, and Me Beth-Din, the Talmadical Court, which is par Mally recognized by the Russian laws. The govern. meat is indeed elective, but doth eleciors and elected must Have obtatued a certain rank in the e¢ommu- ay panes uominaily by proficiency in the jearn- ing of the Talwwad, and olien granted wm reality to rich men for a money censideratien. The Sagal not only directs the schools aud tuternal goverament of the community, but supervises avd regulates ail the affairs of Hebrews with the non-Mebrew population, forbidding or allowiug them, as it considers best for their interests. This power le completely arbitrary, and there can be no appeal irom it, Lhe authority of all external laws and regulations is denied and said to be not bindiag on Hebrews, and th sirictly forbidden to have recourse to a Russian courtin disputes with each other, even when the Russian jaws coincide wiih tie Hebrew. ‘the Kagal, however, does not scruple to have OUrse to the’ external authorities when necessary and practicable to assist 1t in its ebjects. The Kagal claims to have authority over the wheie territory and population of the district, Non-Hebrews are there, and in possession of properiy iy as ine {ringers of the rights of the chosen people ef God. ‘The Kagul grants or seils the right ef living in the district to a new comer, and witwout the necessar per @ Jew coming trom auother district would tnd it impossible to live or support himself. The property of nou-Hebrews 18, according to tne ‘Tal mud, afree wilderness, or, as Rabbi Joseph Kuiun gays, “a sort of free lake,” in which enly that He- brew can piace nets Who nas obtained a right for it from the Kagal. Thus regaraing the property of Bon-Hebrews us The general property of the commu- nity the Kagal selis to Jews the right to occupy this property, and even draws up bills of sale and receives money from them. Mere than that, it sells the right to exploi/er Individuals, to lend them monvy and to get hold of their property. Things of this Kind seem almost incredible, although. Mr, Braphmann quotes in full formal acts, one seil- ing the right to the shop of a Russian merchant, another @ part of the city lands with the buildings that may hereafter be erected by the government, and another a whole Franciscan couvent, Afier such a sale no other Jew can interfere without the perinission of the purcha: and should a Jew pure chase or get hold of real estate belonging to a Chris- tian, which had not previously been disposed of by ihe Kayal, he would have to buy agaia irom the Kagal before his rights would be recognized by ‘he Rabbinical Court or by his fellows. Besides its power of fixing the residence of Jews the Kagal claims the right to interfere with their cholee of occupation, and to prevent them from exercising it; regulates even the details of their do- mesuc life; fixes the number of persons that can be present at @ marriage or festival, the musicians that can be employed, and mapy other petty things. One of its greatest powers is in the butchering of cattle. The Jews, even with ws, as 18 weil known, can eat no meat but that killed in accord- ance With the precepts of the law ef Moses; and in Russia this rule is most strictly regarded; but the religious instincts of the people do not keep them so much to its strict ovservance as the acuve supervision of the Ra}'!nnical authorities. They are the more particular as they collect a tax on meat, which supphes funds for communal purposes, Ths tax las been recognized and con. firmed by the Russian laws, and the government oMlieials are required to assist in its collecuon, on the grouad that the Kagal will tius be able to make ood the deficiencies in the government taxes of jewish communities. No doubt part ef this tax comes from Christians. Tne Kagal is also authorized by law to impose a tax on all liquers sold in taverns and dram shops kept by Hebrews i couutry villages. This tax, of course, fails on the consumers; the purchasers are all peasauts, and there are no other drainshops. Another curteus in- stance ofa tax on the whole population, for the benefit of the Jews, 18 found in Wtina. In the Jewish quarter there has | been permitted a tax ‘on provisions for the Kagal; and a few years ago the Kagal succeeded in persuading the city authori- ties to remove the public fish market to that quar- ter, thus laying the excise on the whole community. ‘This tax, iny1s67, was farmed out by the city coun- cil for £340, One might almost think Judaism the Slate religion there. THE KAGATL. The Kagal maintains its authority by means of such taxes, and by severe P yeep inflicted by the beth-din, These include forbidding intercourse of the neighbors with the condemned, prohibiting him to ply his trade, preventing his wile from purt- fying herself with the bata, and excommunication. he who transgresses one Utile transgresses the whole law, excommunication is threatened for very slight oflences, and, in a town almost wholly Jew- ish, it is really civil death. Sometimes, as oc- curred a few months ago at Shkloff, actual physical punisnments are used. In that case, a woman sus- pected of Improper tutimacy with aman, suspected only, for the Kabbinical court has no rules of prr| was beaten almost to death, and driven nake along the public street. In cases Of great obstinacy the arm o7 the civil power is sometimes called in; and to prevent an appeal te the civil couris from its decisions, the peth-din takes good care to have the parties sign beforehand, on stamped paper, docu- menis which would prevent such action. e aathor accuses the Kagal of buying up government ofiicials, to make them Wiuk at apy stretch of power In their proceedings.

MUSIC:AND THE DRAMA. The most trying part of the season is now past, and managers can draw a breath of relief that the holidays have come at last. This being the week before Christmas the preparations for that great festival may interfere to some extent with the busi- ness at the theatres, but the worst is past, ‘The bills are in general very attractive, and some long- looked for novelties are announced, First, we are to have “Saratoga,” a genuine American comedy, at the Fisth Avenue theatre. ‘The entire strength of the company, with the excep- tion of Miss Ethel, is cast ini. High expectations are formed of it, and great care will be exercised in its production, Tuesday has been selected for the opening night, ‘This evening the ever welcome “London Assurance,” with the vivacious Fanny Davenport as Lady Gay Spanker, will be given for the last time, The beat ul comedy, “Coquettes,” seems to have taken a firm hold at Wallack’s.

When we consider what a success Irma made 1n this rd/e, we can only say that Aimée has selected a trying test for her abilities. Only two nights of ‘Les Brigands” remain, and likely the members of the company not cast in “Barbe Blene” will favor the provinces with opéra bout. The success of the revival of the “slack Crook” at Niblo’s seems now to be au established fact. With the dancing of Cora Adrienne and Bonfanti, the scenery of Voegtlin, the music of Operti and the thousand and one spectacular attractions, it is easy to account for the crowded houses, “Wee Willie Winkie” enters upon its twelfth week at the Oiympic, with undiminished success, The name of Fox is @ powerful talisman with the pudite, and “standing room only” may be looked jor for many a week to come. Miss Lina Edwin has made a genuine hit with the burlesque of “Little Jack Shepparu.’’ It is not that tals little play possesses any iotrinsic merits beyond hundreds of its Kind, but the sparkling music, which is well sung by this lady’s admirable company, is something we do not usually hear on the burlesque siage.

The annual performance of the “Messiah” oy the New York Harmonic Society will take place at Steinway Halli on the 26th inst, Miss Brainerd, Mr. Barry (of Boston), Mr. Simpson and Mr. Joseph Jewett have been engaged to take the principal parts. The conductor of the Harmonic Society having abruptly terminated his connection with that body, the wabagement applied to the xecuuve Comuittee of the Cuurch Union Aesociation for the services of their conductor, Dr. James Pech, and for Uhe assistance of any of the members of the assocta- tion =who are familiar with the music to be performed, aud who might feel disposed to aid an old organization in perpetuating, in the midst of many temporary distracting influ. ences, the annual performance for the past twenty kom of Handel's “Messiah.” It is generally be- iteved that Dr. James Pevt has consented, very gen- erously on a@ short notice, to direct the work on the evening referred to. Dr. Pech is thoroughly tamiliar, from long experience, with oratorio music, in which he has been as thoroughly educated as any musician ‘we can remember. Bund Tom plays to-night at the Cooper Institute. The Liederkranz Society celebrated the centen- nial of Beethoven last night at thelr nail with a grand concert, in which the principal works of the great composer were performed. Dr. James Pech, on Saturday night, at the Phil- harmenic concert, gave the orchestra and audience a suprise by presenting them with coples of a very cleverly written brochure, giving tae life or Beethoven and some bold but well founded remarks on his works, The following extracts will suffice for the present Haydu and Mozart often approached the verge of propriety, ery but the caution with which 1 hey planned their works preserved them from reumarka- ble e ses. Beethoven, however, following enly the impetus of his imagination, and @isdaining tose constraints which sober judgment would sug- gest, rushes madly on, and often Plays such fantastic tricks As make the ci The history of the progress in art of a mind like Beethoven's would be most interesting and instvuc- tive. He does not seein to have devoied mach time to close study, but to have acquired ms powers of composition by centinual practice. Notwithstand- ing ifis, the beauty of his first works, tueir nov- elty and the eects which they produced, created for him immeditely a crowd 6f admirers, These persons quickly inade him “the god of weir idolatry,” and, (as became true b iievers, would not allow that there could be a spt or bi ish in his creations. Thus situated, and with impetuosity of temper which made incerferea: apy kind a dangerous ofice, it is net surprising th Beethoven should occasionally have entertained false notions of his art; that be should nave mistaken noise for grandeur, extravagance for originality, and Nave supposed that Lae interest of his compositions would be in proportion to their duration, That he gave little time fer reflection is proved most clearly by the extraordinary length of some mevements in his later symphenies, to which we might apply the epitvet, “Romans de longue haleine,”’ given vo cer- tain French novels of the old school. The great fault, if we may say 80, Which Beethoven committed, in making many of his compositions so long, will be seen if we consider that music, though the most Vague, is the most exciting of the aris, and not all the finest passages from Homer, nor au exhibition of all the patues of Le Bran, would create half the “fect on the minds of a party of British or Awerican jidiers geing Into action as would be produced by “Ruie, Briiaapie,” or “The Star-Spaucied Banger.” ENGLISH SPORTING GOSSIP. Loss of Two Celebrated Horses—Wild Day- rell—His Pedigree—Emblem, Winner of tho Grand National Steeple Chase, Shot. Lonpon, Dec, 8, 1870, On Sunday last Wild Dayrell, winner of the Derby in 1855, was found dead in nis box at Chilton, near Hungerford. He was only elghteen years of age, having been bred in 1852 by Jon out of Ellen Middie- ton, a daughter of the famous Bay Middleton, Of his birth the well known sporting writer, “The Druid,” lately deceased, says:—‘*When @ colt ap- peared, between twelve and one A, M., the butler ‘was rung up and rushed to the scene with his night- cap on his head and a bottle of wine ia his hand; and as it was necessary to remove the hittle stranger into a warmer box he got &@ wheelbarrow and insisted upon “wheeling the winner of the Derby for once in my life.” There was nothing in that speech, but when Rickaby got home to his cottage, about five on that April morn- ing, he assured his wife that there must be some- thing remarkable tor good or evil about that colt, as he had just seen the strange sight of a wild duck and a wild drake actually sitting on the quickset hedge, close by the high road. ‘That morning*was, indecd, a remarkable one in the annals of Littlecote, It hailed the first blood.colt that Mr. Popham had ever possessed, and the first that Rickaby ever trained; and the latter was never at Epsom tn his life till he fuifllied the threat of ‘bringing the money away.” ‘The colt, a very big one, so pleased the eye of Lora Lennox that he gave 500 guineas for him; | butin a trial he performed so badly that his lordship sold him at Tattersail’s to the breeder for less than half the sum be had given for him. He had soon cause to repent of his precipitation, for Wild Dayrell made great 1mprovemeat as times went on, and at the Newmarket First October meeting, when he stood sixteen hands two inches, he cautered away with a sweepstakes of fifty sovereigns each, T. Y.0. During the winter he got on splendidly in his Derby preparation, and tn @ trial with Jack Sheppard and Gameiad beat both with the greatest ease. AX this Umne his market price was 100 to 7, but the ring, believing he had no chance, laid against him with the greatest ardor, so that the Process of “getting out’? brought the horse to a Very short price long before the fall of the flag on Epsom Downs, the nore especially as the fleld ne had to meet was a remarkably “rotten” one. His most notable probabie opponents—St. Herbert and Lord or the Isies—lad rida such @ fearful race for the Two Thousand Guineas that the former could not go to the post, while the Jatter had ruined his chance. Of the other horses engaged rd Derby's favorite, De Clare, broke down on the Sunday before the race; and another well known animal, Rifleman, bad to be scratched. The conse- quence was that Wild Dayrell won with the most ridiculous ease; but he injured himseif so much that he was afterwards comparatively worthless on the turf, though he was “patched up” sudiciently to win @race at York; but finally oroke down tn the Don- caster Cup, Won by the great Rataplan. At the stud he was not a brilliant performer, and was chiefly Known for getting brililant two-year-olas who would not be trained; but his son buccaneer 1s one of the greatest sires of the day, and has a tremendous rep- utation in Ausiria, where he is stationed, Of his progeny Buccaneer won the Koyal Hunt Cup at Ascot; Hurricane the One Thousand Guineas; Horror . was third to Thormanby in the Derby, 1860; Wild Oats ran a dead heat wich Pero Gomez (second for the Derby and winner of the St. Leger last year), for the Qriterion Stukes, and of the others, Ischia, The Roe, Romping Girl, Wild Moor, Wild Agnes, Molly Carew, Moon- beam, Sea King, Tne Rake and Avalanche, Emblem, the winner of the Grand National steeple chase and other important races, was recently shot by order of her owner, Lord Coventry, on acvount of her infirmities. She was bred in 1856 by Teddington, winner of the Derby, out of Miss Bolty, and was purchased by Lord Coventry for 300 guineas after she had run several times on the fat. inthis class of race she never shoue, and she was accordingly trained for the “jumping business,” and for some time followed hounds. In this line s% attained ex- traordinary @xcelicace, and wound up a series of brillant performances by winning the Grand Na- tional in 1863. In the following season Lord Coventry did not send her over the Liverpool country, and was represented by her own sister, Emblematic, who, strangely enough, also won. In 1565 he sent out botu to do battle for him in the Grand National, and Embiematic Hnished third to Alcibiade, while Embiem was a splendid mare, with the heavy weight of 172 pounds on her back. She afterwards carried off the Grand Annual Steeple Chase at Warwick, with py rene and turned the tables on Alcibiade, and at Chelten- ham, a little later, was saccessful in the principal steeple chase, with the enormous tmpost of 1st pounds; and worked up the spectators to such an extent that they plucked hairs out of ner tall to pre- Serve as mementos of so wonderfula mare, She broke down soon afterwards, and Was put to the stud, where, however, she was so unsuecessiul that of jate years she has been allowed to roam at will through the pastures at Croome, near Woreg THE IRIS! CHURCH IN THE MDDLE AGES. Father Farrell’s Lecture on O'Toole, Archbishop of Twelfth Century. One of the most interesting and instructive lec- tures in connection with the history of the Irish Church during the Middle Ages was delivered last evening at St. Bernard’s charch, Thirteenth street, to adensely crowded audience, who, for upwards of an hour, !istened to the learned and accomplished lecturer with the deepest attention. Father Healey, the respected and zealous pastor of St. Bernard’s church, ascended the altar and announced that the distinguished young Irish artiste, Mile. Rosa D’Erina (Miss Rose O'Toole), had kindly consented to preside at the organ, and would sing the following sacred selections of music, viz.:—“Ave Maria,” Cherabini; St. Lawrence Dublin, in the “Angels Ever Bright and Fair,” Handel; “£cce Panis,” Cnerubini; “Ave Maria,” Gounod; grand march for the organ, Rosa D’Erina. ‘The above selections were rendered by tue fair artiste in the true style of sacred compositions, and created among the audience quite @ sensation. Possessing a splendid soprano voice of great culture ble of the most varied modulations, it s iS Spe- ind paecres to the sublime music of the Catholic Shurch, ‘The learned lecturer commenced his discourse by a rapid review of the state ef Ireland from the con- version of Ireland by St. Patrick to the invasion of Ireland by the Danes, and described in beautiful Janguage the noble efforts of the Irish race to throw om the Danish yoke, which efforts were crowned With triumphant succegs at the battle of Clontarf, in 1073, by the great King Brien Botroimhe. Comm: to the subject or his lecture, Father Farrell desctib the great virtues and sanctity of St. Lawrence O'Toole, but told his audience that his object was to present the great saint to them as a noble spect- men of a great Irishman struggling for the freeaom of his fatherland. Referring to the eeicbrated Bull of Adrian IV., in which he 1s alleged to have made a nt of Ireland to Henry II., of England, the able lecturer disputed its authen- ticity on the authority of Abbe Macgeoghe- gan and other distinguished historians, In @ strain of the Lert and most fervid eloquence he gave a rapid epitome ef the great labors of the Saint and of his opposition to the gross misrepre- sentations of the English Court as to the state of Jreland at the Court of Rome. Father Farrell made an admirable reference to the perpetuation of the grand old Irish name, O'Toole, in the fact that the splendid voice they heard reverberate through the sacred edifice was that of Rose O'Toole, de- scended from the same noble ative fn, who would, through the music of her native Jand, renew the auctient glories of Ireland in a forefgn jand. At tne conclusion of the lecture the audience manifested their delight by the most enthusiastic applause, and we can truly add that a more instrue- tive and highly interesting lecture, exhibiting the most perfect acquaintance with the ancient history cm Sol it bas never beep our pleasure to en to. SEIZURE OF A LARGE QUANTITY OF FENIAN ARMS AND MUNITIONS OF WAR. {From the Detroit Post, Dec. 16.] Yesterday atternoon the Untied States authorities in this city received apparently reliable information as to the whereabouts of @ large quantity of arms and munitions of war, which belonged to the Fenian Brotherhood, and which had been sent here last summer sor use in the contamplated raid on Canada, A search warrant Was immediately issued, and Deputy Marshal Harry Blanchard, assisted by Depu- ues Aivord, Bartlett and Suilivan, proceeded, avout | ck, to the house of James Holihan, corner of Rivard and Franklin streets, where the ariicles uid to be located. Holihan was found on the mises, and a warrant for lus arrest having been ‘viously issued for violation of the neutralit he was taken Into custody, of the house was then made, and, away under the beds in bedrooms, and $ and garrets, were found a large number of &c.

There were fonnd in Holihan’s house altogether upward of re stand of arms and eight cases of Fenian unl- Orns. ‘The guns are apparently new, and are a superior breech-loading rifle. ‘They are furnished with bayo- nets, and are complete in every respect. They nave been well Kept, are nicely polished and in good order. It is not Known where these guns came from. They may have been purchased abroad, or, more likely, they are a United States arm made over, ‘iho Fentan uniforms were new, and had never been un- packed from the cases, Tliey consisted of dark pan- taloons and the ordin army blouse of green cloth. The packages were a ed to Mr. Holihan, but the point from which they were shipped could not be ascertained. it is understood that Holihan ts the treasurer of the Fenian Brotherhood in this city, and that he had charge of these war outits as such officer. ‘They are supposed to have been sent here last spring, previ- ous to O'Neill's raid, and their discovery. with ithat of 500 more rifles which were found at another place, and were be tinat alate hour last night, ives color to the story which was current at the me that an expedition was fitting out here for ope- rations in the adjacent parts of Canada. It will be remembered that at that time pretty definite details ‘of the proposed expedition wére known. The United States authorities then received information a8 to tae © where the arms were stored; but the Fe- nians eluded their vigilance and removed the arms before search could be made, Inall laeryens the rifles seized yesterday were part of the same lot which were then reported to be secreted in a certain barn in the Eighth ward. TENEMENT HOUSHS ON FIRE. At twenty-five mmutes past twelve o’clock this morning fire broke out in one of the two four story tenement houses over the Phenix Plaster Mills, Tenth avenue and Thirteenth street, The flames soon spread through both buildings and completely gutied them. The consternation produced among | the occupants of the houses when the alarm ‘was lirst given was extreme, and the shrieks of the women and children, crying out for help, soon brought a large number of persons to the street in front of the burning buildings. One of the houses was supplied with fire escapes, by means of which the inmates were en- abled to get down without serious danger; but in the other, it having no fire escape, were It not Tor the extraordinary exertions of the firemen in using the ladder there must have been loss of life. Asif was no injury was sustained by any of the in- mates of either house. The loss is estimated at about $15,000, It could not be ascertained if there Was any insurance.
