One of the most remarkable localities in Eu rope is the Ghetto,' or Jews' Quarter in Prague. Untouched for centuries, and until late years un disturbed by the visits of Curious Christians, it is one of those rare spots where the very form and however, armed themselves, and set out to the res spirit of antiquity have not yet given way to mod- j cue of the Holy City, with a warlike young Rabbi era enterprise and change. Some description of its physiognomy and the curious Hebrew traditions, of which it is the source, will be interesting to the readers of Thc Tribune. The 'Ghetto' lies in the northern port of Prague, not far from the Moldau. Approaching it from the Christian part of the city, one frenerally sees a groupc of Jew porters sitting at the entrance. In these crooked, dwarfish, and antiquated men, the enormous strength which they exhibit in their pro- fession, would not be suspected. One of the grey- haired, shriveled and wrinkled porters, almost , crawling in his gait, not unfrequently carries, for a mile or two. immense chests and coffers, or the , whole furniture of a family. With the exception . . ,i - a ti l ol Amsterdam, mere is no cay in Xiiirope, wnotu , Jewish population is accustomed to such, severe physical labor. j The Brehegasse (Broadway) is the principal , street of the 'Ghetto.'

The image of the burning candlestick immediately vanished; the carivan fell into .confusion, went astray and separated.

BuWhe stones turned into a third part settled on the right bank of the Mol dau before either a German or a Slave had trodden the soil of Bohemia. Their families increased so fast, in consequence of their piety, that in the course of a single generation, there were several snyagogties erected in Prague. The tAllneusehuti' as it is called, is the oldest synagogue in the quarter. For many centuries it was entirely choked up and buried in the earth and only discovered and exhumed in the time of Wallenstein. A stone stairway leads downward its entrance, as to a vault the interior is built in the old Judean style of architecture. Pillars, ceilings, walls and galleries are as black as coal. The fact has no ordinary significance. The snya gogue remains to this day a place of wonder, since it is reported to have given, in the early times of the settlers regular intelligence of their home in Palestine. When Titus led his legions against the City of David, the pillars of the Synagogue, according to the old legend, began to tremble; the doors of the Ark flew open with a sound of lament ation, and the holy parchment upon which the Hooks ot Moses were inscribed, unrolled in itself until the Chapter of blessings and curses was visi ble. Then arose great weeping and lament a- mong the old men and children. The young men, at their head. Scarcely had they passed without the gate of their city when the knees of their lead er began to tremble, and his feet were robted to the earth. 'I am like the ass of Balaam,' he cried; 'I see warning visions they come up from the earth and down out of the clouds, and beckon me to return.' Then exclaimed several; ' Thou hast j not repeated thy morning prayer with due devotion, or liast omitted a sentence therefrom. Let us choose another leader, who is undefiled.'

While hanging in the air, ! he beheld terrible sights with the inward eye. still pointed out, and the garret where he passed 1 long summer days and winter nights in cabalistic ! endeavored m vain to soften her heart. When 'Roch Reb Lob' heard this, he took the huge Chal daic folio in which he had been reading and set out to visit the Lmpress. He crossed the bridge, and when he had reached the city on the other side, a great crowd of curious Christians collected around Jiim, and cries of contempt arose on all sides, he smiled and passed on. The e-ilded stno-e- carriage ofsthe Empress drawn by six horses, came at full speed down the hill from the I'alace of the Hradschin. ' Hock Reb Lob' stationed himself at the foot of the hill, and lifting his arm, cried in a loud voice, 'Halt !' This boldness exasperated the crowd to fury, and women and children pelted him cherry-blossoms, and the mud fell like a rain of apple-blossoms on his furrowed brow, his silver beard and his broad shoulders. The carriage stood sud denly still in the midst of the descent; the six hors es tossed their manes, champted their foaming bits, struck out wildly with their hoofs, threw their heads nearly to the earth in terror, then plunged again in the air, but could not move a step. 'Mighty Empress!' cried Hoch Reb Lob, I swear by the Almighty God, thou wilt change thy mind before the sun goes down, and my people shall live in peace, till the Moldau flows over the towers of the Hradschin!' He then turned and walked slowly homeward through the awe-stricken crowd, carrying his Chaldaic folio ; and in the same hour the Empress tore in pieces the decree which she had already signed for the banishmeut of the Jews. . The Cemetery is a most dismal place. There the wind blows over the rank, unmown grass a round the tombstones, and rustles the boughs of the neglected trees which lift their crooked trunks here and there. t Many of the stories are centuries old, decaying and half sunken in the black soil. Snow and rain have half worn away the sharp He brew characters, and only the mossy, scroll-like heads of many others are to be seen among the grass, or a pair of hands of carved stone, denoting that there moulders one of the tribe of Aaron. In side of the cemetery walls every foot of earth is composed of the dust' and crumbling bones of the dead, but their rest is never disturbed in order to give place to the newly departed. Each one keeps possession of his narrow house, for the or thodox Jew thinks that economy of space, which is so greatly to the interest of the living, an infamy when applied to the dead; and wherever it is pos sible, he makes the severest sacrifices to obtain for himself and his fathers an everlasting property for their mortal remains. The cemetery has been full as far as the memory of the place reaches, and the dead are now burned in a spot outside of the city. Around the old graves cluster tiie lofty, toppling, crowded houses of the living, but no one ventures to enlarge his room at the cost of disturbing his ancestors whose name are mostly forgotten, whose race nas often been lonr extinct. J his pietv. how- .,, i ii .? i ever, win vanisn line tne iep;ends, whose source has been sealed since the commencement of this ! century. Such a place as the Ghetto is rich in specimens of humanity as quaint and antique as itself. One of the most curious characters which one meets in Prague, is the old pedlar, a dealer in small wares, such as fishbones, knitting implements, needles and the like. He may be seen at all seasons and in all weathers, going the rounds, calling attention to his wares with a loner nasal crv. Notwithstand ing the toilsome nature of his business, the scantv returns it yields, and the general contempt with )vhich he is looked upon, he plods through year a f- ter year feeling a kind of satisfaction in knowing that that prejudice against his race is growing less and less. 'In the Jesuitensasse,, he savs. ' it is a long time since I have been drenched with water from the windows, and the-children in Smichware not so dangerous as formerly.' Thus consoling himself he goes along the street repeating his shrill cry. At the door of a brewery he sees a a lusty apprentice with a green cap on his head, and a witish moustache just sprouting on his up per lip. He smiles in secret, for he remembers how, many years ago, a wicked boy burned oft' half his beard while he lav asleen beside the srens of n beerhouse. In his wrnth nt tins ,1isfimn-nmnnt i, had cursed the boy and besought God to give him no beard when he grew up. Afterward, he had re pented of his anger in sack-clotii and ashes, and begged that the curse might be removed. Now he sees the down on that apprentice's lip, and feels that his penitence had its effect. His life, however has its annoyances. Some times he goes wandering all day long without sel ling even a needle, and goes home groaning, not a kreutzer in his pocket. Perhaps it is late on Thursday evening, and he is anxious to get back before the Sabbath commences. Just as he turns C3 thinks, 'a little profit is better than none, and toils up. the long dark stairway, thinking of how much he shall make. When he reaches the ton. he sees an inpatient young mother trying to stop the i ' fccrcams ,of .a refractory boy. 'Here he comes !' she cries, pointing to the poor dealer; 'there, do you see the frightful Jew ? If you are not quiet this minute, he'll put you in his pack, and eat you alive when he gets home. There that's enough. Now, .lew, you may go Man's Uuwiiliugc.ts to Die. Is the old and quiet days, when men lived more peacefully, we mav reasonnhlv infrr tlmt t.lmv died more willingly than now or, at least if the present generation should be satisfied with the lease of life which the genious of progress has lengthen ed materially for their benefit, mid should contem plate with less regret its final termination ; but such is not the fact. When we contemplate the mechanical inventions which have so enlanred the sphere of mind, and furnished it machinery, by the aid of which its most stupendous results are ac complished those inventions which have almost annihilated space, those which have increased in a wonderful degroe, the productiveness of labor when we contemplate these, and with them, the increased mental activity, and the progressive ideas of the ago, conscious as weare that anew and bright er chapter in the world's history is just opening, we sigh to think that ere we have persued a sin gle page, our eyes must be eclipsed by the dark wing of the death angel. When, by the powers of association and analogy, we follow the great in ventions and moral movements of the present into future generations, our speculations upon their ul timate results are interrupted, and our hearts chil led by the thought, that long before their fulfilment, we shall be sleeping in the dust that just when the providence of God is working new wonders upon earth ; and just when it has furnished us the means of taking a comprehensive view of these wonders, we must, after catching a glimpse of the great drama, sink into the silence and- darkness of the grave. The miser and the sensualist may know nothing of these aspirations after long life they ask no more than an average duration of ex istence, if their keen passion allow them to think of death at all: but the philosophic mind, or minds 'in philosophic moods those who take the most elevated and comprehensive views of life are most appalled by the first thoughts of death. We say the first thoughts, and we mean the natural, abstract idea of death which first strikes the immagination before faith plumes her wing to soar aeross the death flood, and open to our view the regions of immortality beyond the mysterious veil that hangs before our mortal eyes. Happy is he whose faith stands ready at such a moment to lift his soul out from the blackness into which his native instinct plunges it. This aspiration after a long life in which to watch and admire the devel opments of God's great plan of Providence, is real ly a yearning after immortality, and to such souls, at such moments, infidelity is possible. They would prefer an eternal hell to annihilation, and hell itself would be a heaven to them were they permitted to behold from it the doings of the Al mighty upon this our earth. i From the New York Tribune. " Spiritual Ma3iifeslation." The following is a letter, written in answer to an urgent request for a relation of the writer's per sonal experience, (which we had vaguely heard was remarkable,) with reference to the 'Rappings' or vibrations which have been attributed to the a gency of disembodied spirits.

Providence, R. I., Sunday March, 9,1851. Horace Greeley, Esq. Dear Sir: Mr. C.has recently reminded me of my promise to write to to you in relation to the Spiritual Phenomena in which I am so nuch interested. I should have done so many weeks ago, in compliance with a wish which you intimated to Miss P., but testimo ials to the verity of these mysterious demonstrations have accumulated so rapidly of late that I ima gined anything I might have to say to you on the subject would be merely a repetition of statements previously made by others. If a brief account of my initiatory experience can be of any value to you, I shall be most happy to impart it. My intention was first called to these mysterious sounds in the Autumn of 1849, about three months before any intelligence had reached me of the sin gular manifestations in Rochester. I noticed them for the first time within twenty-four hours after the death of a friend. Since that period, I have heard them almost daily both when alone and when in company with others. They generally occur in some remote part of the room oftenest when I am think ing of these manifestations, and, not unfrequently as if in reply to some mental Question. Even now while I am writing to you, I hear a succession of , ... x . of slight sounds, which seem to proceed from the center of a table which stands at the distance of tour or live feet from the desk at which I am seated. ' I am alone in the room, and the noonday sun is shi ning brightly into the apartment. There is no appa rent cause for the production of these sounds. They have been repeated, after the interval of a few sec onds, for ten minutes. This is a new experience. I have never before heard them so continued? and ! oftn and contradictorv. There uredoubt. for so long a time. In October last, I noticed that ess many pu2Zling and seemingly anomalous things these apparent responses to my thoughts came . yet to be accounted for; but in the midst of these more frequently, and more promptly, in the pres- j apparently trivial and inharmonious particulars will ence of M., a young girl who has lived many years ' be fou"d' ert or. later' a harmonious result A - ., , i new class of facts is presented for our observation, , with my mother.

' graph ! In U,c timc, however I had an opportunity of .'TratS " hearing alleged spiritual responses, and even di- nalignant spirits i should take upon themselves so -rect communications, made through tho alphabet, beneficent a mission as thatof hovering abtut us with, . at the house of Mr. W., and at other places. My messages of love, sustaining us with words of 'loft . private experience had prepared . me to observe cheer,' and inciting us to faith, patience and chari-" these manifestations attentively, and critically, but ty; for such, I believe, is the general purport of without incredulity. When ihe persons; presiding these mysterious 'vedas,' Those which havcbk'n at these sittings asked if there were any spirits' present who would communicate with me, they were answered "iVone," This was rather mortify ing to me, as I had been so sincerely desirous to ascertain the truth in this matter. But it would seem that my own friends were determined to choose their own time On Monday, Nov. 4. I happened to be relating what I had witnessed on these occasions, to a group of curious, but very incredulous listeners, casual ly met together at the house of an acquaintance. In reply to their entreaties that I would obtain for them an introduction to some of these charmed cir cles, I suggested that we might possibly find some favorable medium in the party then present. They laughingly gathered around a large table in the centre of the room ; when, not less to my own as tonishment than to theirs, we were greeted by- a succession of slight raps, which presently became clear and sonorous vibrating on the ear with start ling distinctness in the midst of the breathless si lence that now reigned throughout the company. The right hand and arm one of the ladies soon be came cold and rigid, and, by the advice of a phys ician, who was present, we discontinued the sitting; not, however, until I had asked (according to the usual formula) if I might know what spirit was communicating with us: I received in reply a series of letters which sounded like an oriental name. Thinking there might be some mistake, and anx- . ious to know if these sounds were indeed caused by an intelligent agent, I repeated the request,and again received the same series of letters, of which I could make nothing. The lady who was ascertained to be the medium on this occasion, was a stranger to me, and left town the next mornino-. O Not many days after, being with another circle of friends, and in presence of another medium, the name of a deceased friend was announced to me as that of a guardian spirit. This was the first intelligible communication I had received. I asked, " is this the same spirit who communica ted a series of letters to me on Monday evening; and if so, may I know the meaning of those letters V' To the first of these questions I received an afiiirm ative answer; to the second, "At some future fane." Three weeks from the date of this communication I was one evening receiving responses purporting to be from the friend whose name was announced to me as above, when I was interrupted by the en trance of some young visitors. They were curiou3 to know with what spirit I was conferring. I know not what fancy impelled me to say, " May the name be given us in an anagram V I had, previous to the decease of this friend, made several very curious anagrams from the let ters of his name, (arranging them so as to form an other word or phrase,) and I mentally wished that one of these phrazes might be given. But instead of receiving the words I looked for, the same series of letters, the same Oriental name which had been indicted to me on the of November was again communicated, and I now found, to ?ny astoiiish ment, that these letters were the letters of my friend's name ! Could I doubt, after this, that there was an intelligence present on these several occasions, over whose thoughts and purposes neither my' thoughts nor the thoughts of any one in the circle had any control ? It should be" remembered that these communications were made at different times, in the presence of different persons, having no ac quaintance with each other, and through different mediums. These incidents, though trivail in themselves, are, when viewed in connection, full of significance and seem to have been deliberately and skillfully devised to prepare my mind for the reception of subsequent manifestations. All the communica tions which I have received purporting to be from the same intelligence have been consistent with each other often seeming to indicate a sequence which has afterwards been fulfilled. When alone wit,M- 1&V se!om asked wIjat are cal1 "test , questions," and seldom requested or received phvsi- caj demonstrations ; yet proofs more convincing than any that I could have devised have daily been accorded me, and in the scene and at the request of other persons I have repeatedly seen evidences of an invisible power exerted upon material objects so strange and startling, that "Henceforth I shall not smile at the most marvel ous legend." - It is urged as an argument against the spiritual 8 f t ft?
