SATURDAY, AUGUST 22, 1857, THE JEWS AND THE StVISS TREATY.' Tho Milwaukie Daily American, edited by Mr. A. W ellinotom .Hart, a member of the Jewish persuasion, makes a strong complaint of the’manner in which, by the late treaty with Switzerland, the'religious faith of American Jewish citizens is placed under a ban. It says: “ Much' exoitement ‘ throughout tho Union amongst’ the Jewish cititens in consequence of the first article of this treaty clashing with their religious liberty. , The history of. this treaty is, that about 1850 the Hon. Dudley Manu, then our Minister to Switzerland, drew up the draft of a treaty which tho Jews discovered proscribed them from Imindnitles enjoyed by their Chris tian brethren. The. late AI. .M. Noah,iOf New York, addressed Mr. Webster, the . Secretary of State, on the subject, and on his tations, booked by thoso' of tho Swiss Jowish merchants' residing in Amoriea, he authorised the rejection of the treaty, and the mattet dropped. During the Administration of. General Pierce tho subject of a treaty was again agitated, and Mr. Fay, bur Minister, drafted it treaty, the vefy first article of which contained tho olause, which is not only Obnoxious to the Domocr&oy and the country, but is mischievous, inasmuch as this precedent established by the Swiss Confefioration may be followed by similar sots on the part of Prussia, Russia, or’Spain, where Jews enjoy but limited privileges; and where tho opportunity would avail to follow out Swiss proscription as endorsed by the United States." ; The first sentence of the treaty runs tlms: « The citizens of the United States of America and the citizens of Switzerland shall bo admit ted and treated upon a footing of reciprocal equality in the two countries, where such ad mission and treatment shall not conflict with <Jie Consfttafion or fcgtilprbumons, as well fed eral as-State and. cantonal, of the contracting parlies,” The offensive operation is in this wise—the Canton of St. Gall actually has a statute prohibiting & Jew from sleeping within its limits; Therefore, if a Jew happens to bo in that locality towards dusk, he must cross over into Austria to get a bed I Mr. De Luze, Swiss consul at Mew York-, bfliug.applie4 to oft the subject, could, only say that there ..was- not in the- treaty «a single word against the; American.’citizens of ; the Israelitish'persnasion-;” but; he'adds, each ’Oaiitbir isatevereigu State, u as well as the ■several States of Sie, American Union, and .have each the right to, make such Jaws as they think proper to make; and I believo that in -most of them the Israelites have not the same rights as the Christians. But of that the Americans have no more, right ,to complain than the Swiss aliens residing in the United States, where, in many States, they have not the right to hold real estate, and are excluded of some other privileges.” Mr. DeLuze argues feebly. No Swiss is deprived of the rights of citizenship in Amer ica, or of the protection of the law, on account of his religion. The Rev. M. Mayer, a Jewish pastor at Charleston, lias also declared against the operation of this treaty, and instances a law in Basle, wbfch enacts that “ No Jew , without exception , is permitted to settle , to carry on commerce , trade, or any handicraft in the Catiton of Basleland.” He then proceeds to give an instance of the working oi this law, notwithstanding the treaty. .He says; “A Mr. Godman, of New York, intending to establish a business in La Chauxdeford, petitioned the Cantonal administration for permission, basing hU claims upon his ohameter as a citizen of tho United States, which he established according to Art. V. of tho treaty. His petition wasspeedily and peremptorily refused, on the ground that he was a Jew. Air. G. 1 appealed to our representative at Berne for protection; whioh ho claimed by virtue of the treaty, and received the cold and humiliating answer. ‘ that said treaty does not inolude tho Jewish citizens of the United States.' ” Tho treaty in question was signed by Presi dent Pikbok, on November 9, 1850. But, as already noticed, Mr. Webster's attention was drawn to it long before. Mr. Hart adds: “It is said that Mr. Webster unswereil a dele gation, that bo was of opinion that the obnoxious clause in tho,Swiss treaty was in violation of that paragraph in the Constitution whioh declares that •Congress shall malto no law respecting an estab lishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exor cise thereof a treaty being in one sensoalaw, and imposing disabilities on a mun on account of his belief, amounting, in reality, to ‘an estab lishment of religion. Therefore, as it would seem that American citizens are proscribed in Switzerland on ao connt of their religion, whiio Swiss citizens in America are not interfered with in the least, it is pretty evident that this treaty should be properly considered. With us all American citizens—Catholic or Protestant—have equal rights, and a treaty which practically abrogates any of them on account of religion must be looked after, to be mended. Wo do not com plain without a sufficient cause. A PECUHAR PEOPLE, The native population of Java are Mahoroe dans. But in a small district known as the Teng’ger mountains, there is found the rem nant of a people who have never been con verted to the faith of Mam., They remain the Sole depositories of the rights and doctrines of an ancient religion, which at one time, and perhaps for a thousand years, prevailed throughout tho island. These people occupy about forty villages, scattered along a range of hills in the neighborhood of what is called the Sandy Sea. The site of their villages, ns well as the construction of their houses, are peculiar, and differ entirely from what is elsu where observed in Java. "While Java belonged to the English, and that great and good mad, Sir Stamford Raffies, was Governor of It, he visited these people. This is what he says of tbcm: “On being questioned regarding the adal against adultery, theft, and other crimes, their reply was unanimous and ready, that such crimes were unknown to them, and that conse quently no punishment was fixed, either by law; or custom'; that if a man did wrong, tho head of.tho village'chid him for it, the re proach of which was always sufficient punish ment fof'a man of Teng’ger. This account of their moral character is fully confirmed by tho Regents of the districts, under whoso au thority they are placed, and also, by the resi dents. They, in fact, seem to be almost without crime, and are universally peaceable, orderly, honest, industrious, and happy. Tboy are. strangers to the vice of gambling and the use of opium. - ‘ ; “,The aggregate population is about twelve hundred souls i and they occupy, without ex ception, tho most beautifully rich and roman tic spots on Java; a region in which the thermometer is frequently as low as forty, two. The summits and slopes of the hills are cover ed with Alpine furs, and plants common to a European climate flourish ip luxuriance.” How does this compare with the state of things under our’system of Christian civiliza tion f it is certainly a beautiful picture to dwell upon—something of 4 contrast to what Is daily seen amongst ourselves, especially when our newspapers teem with the garbage PHILADELPHIA; SATURDAf'AUGUST 22, !&%■> of thQ magistrate’s office and tho records of 6iir criminal courts.

It is, illus trated with views of places, and also has maps of Wisconsin and the region of Lake Superior Sooks of thiß description, drawn up from personal obser vation and experience, are of great value, even when roughly executed.

Mr. Ritchie has done good servioe iu adding to the stock of information about Miohigan and Lake Superior. ThoMagazmes arc coming in. We have Put nam's, for September, profusely enriched with ori ginal engravings. The literary portion, however, is not all original, for there is a poem called “The Priest and the Mulberry Tree” which has the merit of antiquity; a very flimsy sketch, “The Husband’s Friend,” by Mark Lemon; and a plea sant, chatty, discriminating paper on “ Lord Ches terfield,” by Jamos Hannay. These are English, and surely an American magazine ought to bo wholly of home production. The original papers are good. The best written—for it contains the substance of a largo and costly work—is a resume of Dr. Barth’s Travels in Africa, with over forty engravings. Another good artiolo, “ A Magazine a Hundred Yoars Ago/’ pleasantly reviews the Gentleman's Magazine for*l76B. There U a cri tique on tho comparative merits of Rachel and Ristori, very interesting, and with somewhat less exaggeration than New York oritics usually run into. The Editorial Notes are excellent. There are few book-notices so reliable as those in Putnam. The other articles require no speoial notice—save that a tale called “ Love in the Country,” Ailing nearly fifteen pages, is particularly spun out and tedious. Arthur’s Lady's Homs Magazine for September h«fl one of the best line engravings we have seed for somo timo. It is oallod “Hospitality- in. the Olden Time.” Among the more we would point out a sketch of Bayard Taylor, con tinuation of a novel by Virginia F. Townsfrud ; and part of a story called The Young Governess, by Mr. Arthur. There is the usual nows of fashions, at libme and abroad. The eldest of all tho American Magazines, ad dressed almost exclusively to tho gentlur'sex 1 , is Uodey’B Lady's Book. It devotes muoh 1 space to fashions, ornamental needle-work, and domestic re ceipts and management. Thobestp&porinthenew number is “Match-Making,” by Alioe B. Neal. There is some amusement in “The Tallow Family in America”—scone Newport. A Memoir on the Manufacture of Silk, byO. T. Hinokloy, is good, The steel-plate, named “Heoland Toe,” tells'its own story, and la well executed. Another of these lady’s books is C. J. Peterson’s Ladies' National Magazine. Like the rest, it has engravings on wood and steel, and is a melange of literature and fashions. In the prosont number, perhaps tho most striking sketoh is “The Fire in the Woods,” by Charles J. Peterson—brief and Cooporish. A well-written novel, “Love’s Labor Won,” by Mrs. Southworth, is an attractive feature here. Of The Young Men's Magazine, published at Now Vbrk, we have tho fourth number. It is ambitious enough; the oponing paper } boing an mstbetioal view of man’s position on the untverso. A practical paper, onllod “The Counselor,” 1b the best in tho work. We dismiss it with hearty wishes for its success—And improvement. From Virginia wo have the August number of tho Southern Literary Messenger , muoh read by tho F. F’s there. In this melange wo find con siderable varioty.

About 6 o’clook,.yesterday afternoon, the trial of the six negro men, Ben, Tom, George, Moore, Edmund, ana Robert, slaves of Mr. William Bonl waro, ohargod with assaulting, with intent to kill their overseer, Mr. John H Dodd, on tho 27tn of July last, was brought to a close before the county court of Henrico, after occupying six days, and ail tho prisoners were found- guilty! Marmnduke Johnson,Esq., Judge W. W.Orump.nndllon. J. S. Caskio, were assigned as the counsel of tho prisoners, and these gentlemen never labored harder in defence ofolients. The examination of the witnesses oc cupied four days, and on Tuesday last tho argument was opened by John B. Young, Esq., for tho Com monwealth. Ho was followed in an able and eloquent address by Mr. Johnson, and the day was dosed by Judgo Crump, in one of his most powerful andL telling appeals, in which he handled the evidence,' and applied the law to, it, with a master hand. Yesterday morning, Hon. John 3. Caskib closed for the prisoners, in an eloquent address of three houfir duration, reviewing the cose, and using his best exertions in behalf of the prisoners. John B. Young, Esq., then closed for the Commonwealth, : answering briefly the points raised by the counsel on tho otner side, ana expounding the l&w as ap plicable to the case. About six o’clock tho ouse was summoned to tho court fordcoislon, (Messrs. Hanes, Baker, Brackett, Dickens, and Sheppard being on tho bench,) who, aftor rotiring and consulting, returned and render ed a verdict that thev found tho prisoner guilty. Ben and Tom were tnen sentenced to bo hung on the 25th of September next, and George, Robert, Moore, and Edmund, bcoauso of their Youth, woro sontenued to transportation beyond tho limits of the United States. When Ben and Tom were ordered to stnnd up and rocelve their sentenco, they both said thut they had not Intondod to kill Mr. Dodd, otul had not tried to do so. They received the sontoneo with stoical iudifferonco, neither of them exhibit ing the slightest omotion at learning that they were to be hung. The court then fixod tho value of the condemned slaves as follows : Ben, $1,250; Tom, $850; George, $1,200; Mooro, $1,200; Edmund, $1,200, and Robert, $1,200. OFFICIAL. Appolntmeuts by the President.

BERKLEY SPRINGS, VIRGINIA. Stbotuer’s Hotel, Berkley Springs, Va. August 15, 1857. Berkley Springs is an attractive spot. Its health renewing waters are indeed incomparable—a very paradise for bathing—so buoyant is the water—and so spacious are tho baths—not mere bowls to dip in, after the fashion used by the three men of Gotham who wero lost at sea, but rooms filled with the cool luxury. The happy being who laves in this delicious water loaves the pure element at peace with his own conscience and all mankind— and tho glow of gratitude extends from body to soul. I know the usual process is for body to re flect soul, but soul reflects body, too! Alas, how 'often! During tho past week tho heat has been very oppressive. Tho situation of this house is unfortunate; it is placed low in the valley, under the mountain; tho leafy screen is grateful to tho eye, and tempts an ascent; but the pleasure of being ovorshadowed by so benutifal a hill is not unalloyed. Tho valley is damp and hot and the lovely grove adjacent the hotel, although so in viting in appearance, is damp as a cellar. As I write, a weloomo rain is heginniug to fall, and many persons dispersed through the ground during the afternoon hasten to seek sheltor. A glance at these different groups is suggestive of material enough to fill a chapter, called ** varieties of Ame rican life”—so well do they depict the character of summer places of resort. “ Young America” forms a oonspiouous feature. There are more than seventy children in this hotel, which says muoh for the reputation of tho place for salubrity.' Many fair and beautiful ’ women make this hotel an Elyslan to ail susceptible hearts. Every evening, arrayed in tasteful toilettes, they form a fascinating coup d’auil in the bail room. The usual number of titled dignitaries are here : a plain Mi*, -tould be gentlemanly and refreshing; for one is' ovrrwhelmed with tho sonorous repeti tions of General, Colonel, Judge, and Hon. The only hope of recoveryfor woak and nervous persons isto take courage foranear inspection of these lu minarios, whose intellectual lights shed a softer radiance when calmly surveyed. The vicinage of Bath must be quiet enough, exoept in the few weeks denominated, “tbe season,” judging from a small : .straw of mi event, which happened to us Ina drive, wo took a day or so ago. We met.aconntry woman on horseback, who, when she saw us immediately dis mounted, and retreated to a fence corner.

The leading literary heresy of tho prosont age of doubt is that whioh disbelieves either the actual ex istence of Shakspeare, or, at the best, gives him credit for nothing more than fathering the dramatic compositions of Lord Bacon. [By the way, it is cu rious that no such person as “Lord Bacon” ever ex isted, for Francis Bacon was nor made a baron by his own name, but was created a peer, os Baron of Verulam, in 3619, when raised to the Chancellor ship, and was made Viscount St. Alban’s in the following year.) A paradoxical lecturer traversed England, a few years ago, on a talking mission, to provo that Shakspeare was a myth; and a more plausible attempt has recently been made, by a Mr Smith, to affiliate Shakspeare’s plays on Bacon. In tho London newspapers is now advertised, as “Com panion volume to every edition of Shakspoare,” a small book, called “William Shakspeare not an Impostor”—being a very matter-of-fact production* with the avowed purpose of vindicating “tho di vine Williams” (as he Is called by M. Ponsard, of the Frenoh Academy) from recent attacks on his works and character. Rather a needless piece of literary work, one would think, inasmuch 53 the world continues to believe in Shakspeare—remind ing us/too, of the Greek rhetorician who produced a labored eulogy on Reroutes, but was stopped, ere he commenced reciting it,by thecurtremark, “An eulogy on Hercules ! who ever thought of attack ing him?” Tho latest literary novelty, however, is the ques tion, “Who wrote Milton’s Paradiso Lost ? ” A literary Englishman has just given publicity to sorao original ideas upon this head. Not as a jest, like Archbishop Whateley’s hioehnrc sgainst the vory existence of Napoleon Bonaparte. No; but in serious solemnity, as a grave discovery, for whioh ho merits (in his [ovrn opinion) the thanks of mankind. After stating that the discovery of America by Columbus was soon followed by the discoveries of Do Gama and Cabot—that the discovery of one lost work of antiquity at the revival of letters was soon followed by the rescue of many others from the dust and neglect of ages—that Young’s and Champol lion’s interpretation of Egyptian hieroglyphics opened the way for the true reading, by Losser and Rawlinson, of tho Assyrian and Medoan inscrip tions—the nnte-Miltonlte declares that the great discovery, by Mr. Smith, that Bacon wrote the plays of Shakspeare, disclosed to his mind that “ Paradise L° B t” was written, not by Milton, but by Milton’s master—Oliver Cuomwkm.. There is proof, he alleges, that Cromwell wrote pootiy— thohgh his biographers huve suppressed tho fact. “The Proteotor,” says Whitelock, ‘•would make verses with us,” (Whitelook himself, Lord Broghill, Pieropont, Tkurloe, and Sir Charles Sedley,) “and every ono must try his «y.” Where, it is asked, are these verses? What subjeot so appropriate to an assemblage of Puritan Notables as Paradise Lost? Cromwell died in 1658, and Paradiso Lost was not published until 1607. [The publisher’s copy, right contraot, giving five pounds for the manu script, was lo n g in possession ot Rogers, tho poet, and was purchased for the British Museum, at the sale of his effocts iu 1856.) Tho theory is, that Cromwell, having written Paradise Lost, placed it in the hands of Milton, his secretary, for revision; that it remained in his possession when tho Pro tector died; and that Milton finally published it, ninoteen years after, as his own. What alterations ho mado aro not known now, but there is a tradi tion that he originally spoko of treating the sub ject in a dramatic form, and (says tho Cromwellian) wo may suspect that this intention, “ and the great variations in tho earlier editions of the ootual poem, point to the samo conclusion, that Milton was (hoeditor, not the author of Paradise Lost” u, suspicion lightly grounded, many will think, inasmuch ns making material changes'in a great epio poom would seem to indicate the author rathor than the editor.

The answer is, that “ the age, Whioh had treated the bodily of she Protector with , ignominy would have treated the literary remains, il known os snob, with still greater Contempt.” TWO:GEHT^ Milton would'feel the nftcesrity for the true airthotahip with peculiar keenness,'because he moat have vividly remembered how he had himself treated the alleged work of a vanished,sovereign* He who had shattered “ Ikon B&silike,” he Vfbo had torn off, to use his own phrase, the mask of a Kiqg (persona - regis.) would shrink from oxposlne the Protector’s fame to the vengeance of royalist wits. : As it was, U has been declared that the character of Satan was drawn from Cromwell!

Wilde, of Hew Orleans, wrote “My Life is like the Summer Rose V—that Charles Wolfe did not write bis lines " On the Burial of Sir John Moore”—and that the Waverly Hovels were composed, not by Walter Scott, but by his brother Thomas. ‘ Cromwell, who took three kingdoms (and a head} from Charles Stuart, will scarcely take from John Milton, one hundred and ninety years after date, the credit of* having written Paradise Lost. R. 8. M; [For The Prese.J THOUGHTS FOR SUNDAY. Ho one can read Hugh Miller’s “Testimonyof tho Hocks” without perceiving that God himself has recorded upon hta works the record of their creation, and that that reoord corresponds with the Mosaic record, when properly understood:—“Of the period during which light was created; of the pe riod during whloh a firmament was made to sepa rate the waters from the waters, or of the period during which the two great lights of the earth, With the other heavenly bodies,'became visible from the earth’s surface, we need expect to find no record in ‘The Rocks.’ ” The geologist expects to find the record of only three of the sixdaysof crea tion written in hieroglyphics on the rocks.. “AU geologists agree that the vast geological scale natu rally divides into three great parts: the Paleao foie, or oldest fossiliferous division; the secondary, or middle fossiliferous division, and the tertiary or }ateat fossiliferoos division. In the first we find corals, crustaceans, molluscs, fishes, and in its later formations a few reptiles. That which; chiefly distinguishes this from all other periods-) {was its gorgeous flora. It was emphatically this period of plants, or, as the Holy Record, has it, “iff herbs yielding seed after their.kind.” Ic*oo other age did the world, ever witness such e flora,; The youth of the earth , was peculiarly a green, and umbrageous youth; a youth of dark and tangled forests, of huge pines 'and'state ly urancarians, of the reed-like catamite, the {tall tree-fern, tho sculptured Bigtilanh,-and the’ hirsute lepidodeudron. Of this extraordinary nge ,of plants we have our cheorftil re* membranes and witnesses in the flames that’ War In our chimneys when wo pile up the whiter fire* Lin the brilliant gas that lightens up ouroities in the blowing furnaces that smelt bursae tall, and give moving power to our ponderous.' tho long dusky trains that, with shriek and snort, hpoed, dart-like, athwart our landscapes, and in the {great cloud-enveloped vessels that darken our {waves and rush in foam over ocean bnd sea. The .geologio evidence is so complete as to be patent to all that the first great period of organized being ; .was, as described in the Mosaio record, peculiarly a period of herbs and trees “yielding seed after their kind.” The secondary, division or period possessed its herbs and plants, but they were greatly less luxuriant and conspicuous in character than their 'predecessors, and no longer formed the prominent trait or feature of tbo creation to which they be* longed.' But the grand existences of the age—the existences in which it excelled every other crea tion, earlier or-later—were its huge creeping things, its enormous monsters of the deep; and, as shown by the impressions of their footprints stamped upon the rocks, Its gigantic birds. It 3 wonderful whales, not, however, as now, of the 'mamalian, but of the rephon class, ichthyosaurs, plerios&urs, and cetiosaurs, must have tempested the ; deep. Its creeping lizards and crocodiles, some of which more than rivalled the existing elephant in height, and greatly more than rivalled him in bulk, must have crowded the plains or haunted by myriads the rivors of the period. In meet aceonlanco with the fact, we find that the second Mosaic period was the period in whioh Ood created the fowl, that flieth above the earth, with moving or creeping creatures, bpth in the waters and on the land. The tertiary period had also its prominent class of existences. Its beasts of the field were by far the most wonderfully developed, both in size and numbers, that ever appeared upon earth. Its mammoths and its mastodons, its rhinoceri and hippopotami, its enormous dinotherium and coloa sal nogatberium, greatly more than equnlledin bulk the largest animals of the present time, and vastly exceeded them in number. The remoinsof oneof its elephants are still so abundant amid the frozen wastes of Siberia, that ivory quarries have been wrought among their bones for more than a hun dred years- Grand, indeed, was the fauner of the British islands in those early days. Tigers as large again as the biggest Asiatic species larked in the anoient thickets ; elephants of nearly twice the bulk of the largest that now exist in Africa or Ceylon roamed in herds; at least two species of rhinoceros forced their way through the primeval forests; and the lakes and rivers were tenanted by hippopotami as bulky, and with as great tusks, as those of Africa. Themassivecave-bear and largo cave-hyena belonged to the some formidable group, with at least two species of great oxen, a horse of smaller size, and an elk that stood ten feet four inches in height. Truly this tertiary age— this third andlast of the great geologio periods— was peculiarly the age of great 14 beasts of the earth after their kind, and of cattle after their kind.” “ And after groat cattle and beasts of the earth had in due order succeeded in animate plants, sea monsters, and moving crea tures that had life, the moral agent now enters upon the scene. Previous to his appearance on earth, each succeeding elevation in the long upward march had been a result of cruation. The creative fiat went forth, and responsible immortal man came into existence.
