JERUSALEM AND ROME.
A deputation of gentlemen, of the Hebrew persuasion, headed by Mr. Moss, waited yesterday on Mr. Punch, to request him to use the vast influence which he possesses over tho Pope, in order to persuade his Holiness to cause young Mortara to be restored from thebosom of the Church to that of his family. Mr. Punch cordially shook hands with the deputation, and said he sympathised warmly with their feelings towards the bereaved Mor? taras ; but that, after the remonstrances which had been addressed to the Court of Rome by the chief Roman Catholic powers, he was almost afraid that his interference would be productive of little effect. He would recommend the deputation to apply to their powerful brethren the leading capitalists of Europe, and to obtain from them an engagement not to lend the Pope any more money at any.-por centage until he surrendered the little Jew. The deputation concisely thanked Mr. Punch, and slunk out. — London Punch.,
