The "eminent citizens" of Berlin gave a dinner on Thursday

week to the German Customs' Parliament and Count von Bis- marck, to show their appreciation of commercial unity. The dinner was a good one, and cost 1,000/., the subscribers were 140 in number, and of them no less than 90 were Jews, a curious incidental proof of the fact we have so often pointed out, that Jews are coming to the forefront of German political society. Nearly a third of the members of the Prussian Parliament are, we believe, Jews.
