NAPLES.—We have received the journals atd despatches of Naples to the 14th inst., together with the letters of our own corespondent of that date. The report of the Queen's speech had arrived there on Monday, the 12th, when it, as well as the speech of Lord Palmerston, produced some sensation. The government are "much annoyed at their tenor, the official journal of the government accusing Lord Pal merston of wilfully distorting facts, and putting into the month of the Queen a ben calumny. The address to the king for the dismissal of the ministry, which our correspondent mentioned already, was carried by a majority of 74 to 26, on the 12th, and was to be presented by a deputation. The news of the flight of the Grand Duke of Tuocany, Ind the probable proclamation of a republic, was received there with much regret. There were rumours of his probable arrival at Naples. The Fives closed, on the 13th inst., at 82. Exchange on London, 583. ROMAN STATES.—We have received the jour nals and correspondence of Rome to the 14th inst., together with the letter of our own correspondent of that date. Campello, Minister of War, ham resigned. An alliance, offensive and defensive, with Tuscany, has been voted , and Sicily, which is assumed in these despatches to be are blic, has appointed Father Ventura as its am or to the Roman republic. Among the laws proposed by the ministry to par liament are the foll o wing 1. To place the church property under the management of the state. 2. To establish universal freedom of conscience. 3. To con vert all unnecessary church bells into cannon. 4. To demolish a portion of the Milvian-bridge. 5. To de stroy the:ancient passage between the Vatican and the Ceatle of St. Angelo, constructed by Pope Borgia. 6. To issue a new coinage, with the ensigns of the re public, &c. In the sitting of the Roman Constituent Assembly of the 13th inst., the minister Sterbini, in the name of the minister of finance, presented a bill providing that all ecclesiastical property shall henceforward belong Ito the state, and that all alienation of the said pro perty, whether real or moveable, shall be considered null and void. A project was moved by deputy Tan ' tins to the same effect, but directing also that proper provision should be made for the support of public worts, and that the estate; of the church shall be Clto agriculturists upon a ground-rent. The and third article. of the ministerial measures were voted by urgency ; the remainder, with the counter project, were sent to the committees. A commission to prepare the project of the organic laws of the republic was also appointed, consisting of MM. Sturbinetti, Armellini, Carlo Rusuni, %warts, Agostini, Lazzarani, and Mazza. The Minister of Finance then brought up the report on the finances, from which it results that the revenue he 1849 amounts to 8,023,814 crowns, and the ex penditure to 13,192,000, leaving of 5,188,188 crowns. The representative proposed to de clare that the national public debt was inviolable. This proposition was well received by the chamber. The Minimise of Justice proposed, on behalf of the Executive Commission, a decree abolishing all eccle siastical jurisdiction in civil and criminal matters, as well relating to prone as property, except as regards matters purely spiritual. FRANCE. PAWS. FILMY 6 p.n. The journal La Prase has for Hulot time bitch beak in the habit of receiving communisations of a semi official character from the Austrian and Sardinian legations. One of these, proceeding evidently from the latter, appears in that Journal this morning, and is to the following effect : No one has aver disputed the right of every state to take measures for its own preservation, and which implies, as a Corollary, a right of intervention, soh n a revelation in a neighburing scenery may threaten to overthrow its own go vernment. The attitude assumed by the Roman and Tuscan revolutionary party leaves no daunt as to the intentions of the radicals with regard to King Charles Albert, if he will not yield to the demos& of the demagogues of the Raman Constituent Assembly. With the two-fold object of presercing his present throne, and the eventual right of nemeses, mentioned in article 99 of the final set of the treaty of Vienne, the court of Sardinia appears determined to inter. hire in order to bring to reason those factious men who, by audacity and intimidation, would impose on tho majority of the Tuscan and Roman people a government which they reject. If we are well informed, the Sardinian govern:eat is at this moment concentrating at Sarcoma, on the Tuscan frostier, an army of 12,000 men, ready to take the field, the command of which will he confided to General Marmon, who is well known for his firmness of character and the con fidence with which he inspires all loven of order. A strong frees of artillery will be atta' fed to this expedition, which will eimmenoe operations as seen as the Sardinian and Nea politan governments shall have combined their swoon action, for, whilst the Piedmont'', army will enter Tuscany by Sareant, the Neapolitan troops will march on Rome from the side of Terraana. This expedition will not look so much le an armed intervention, properly so called, an to the military occupation of Central Italy, an order to afford a firm and powerful rallying point to the moderate piny, which, although forming the great majority of the people, remains disorganised, and are in need of a mum centre on which to rally their forces. The moderate party in Tuscany and in the States of the Church, is far from being subdued, u the radical journals imagine. Dishearteeed by the suddenses of events, it has lost the COTOCIOUIRCOS of its own strength, as was the case in France for the first few months after February. Let an able and powerful hand re unite them, and we shall son see the apps :ranee of affairs in Italy change. For some days put, reports have been prevalent that the congress at Brussels might be considered as dissolved, in consequence of the bases of the negotiations, as laid down by Count Colloredo, the Austrian plenipoton• tiary, net having been accepted by the remesentatives of Piedmont and Tuscany. The facts of the ease we believe to be as follows:—In all diplomatic negotiations of importance, the verification of the powers of the negetiaters is always the first proceeding, and these formalities have not yet been completed. Commander Martini, at the moment when he was setting out :or Brussels, having heard the sews et the dethronement of the Grand Duke of Tuscany, immediately seat his resignation to the provisional government of Tus any. The Austrian plenipotentiary, being also accredited as envoy extraordinary to the Court of St. James's, has left for England, in order to present his credentials to Queen Victoria, and will not return to Brussel, until a duly authorised plenipotentiary from Tuscany shall have been appointed. The Tuscan Monsieur announets, it is true, that the provisional government has just replaced Comman der Martini by Colonel Frapoili , in quality of plenipoten tiary to the said congress. But France end England having agreed not be recognise the revolutionary Tuscan govern ment, and not to keep up any official relations with it, Col. Frapolli cannot, as representative of that government, be officially recognised either at Paris or at London, and still lee so at Brussels, where the Sardinian and Aus trian pleni potentiaries will equally dispute the legality of the mission confided to Col. Frapolli ; neither King Charles Albert, nor the cabinet of Vienna, recognise the late Tuscan revolution. Under these circumst ances, the opening of the congress of Brussels, must be indefinitely postponed, and we in fact learn that M. Lsgrenee, the French plenipotmatiartere:doe turned to Perim. It appears certain that Cosset has officially informed the other plenipotentiaries, that his instructions for the definitive opening of the official as tetanus prescribed to him not to secept any other bode of negotiation than the treaties of 1816. This is what we had foreseen and announced some time since. It is announced, on the contrary, that the King of Sardinia is immediately about to march an army on the Roman states. In the National Assembly to-day the debate on the electoral law wu continued. An article, declaring, " that every salaried functionary who shall be elected a representative shall, before the verification of his Powers (equivalent to " taking bis seat ") make an option between his salaried pla"e and his seat in the Assembly, and in default of having made such option, his admission as a member of the Legislative Amena bly shall, ipso facto, be a forfeiture of his place," was adopted. M. Duo= attempted to got a clause introduced to prevent the ministers for the time being from voting in the Assembly, but was met with exclamations of the previous question from all sides of the house, and accordingly the previous question was pronounced for. At the Baum today a considerable rise has taken place ; the Threes, which closed at 60.70 yesterday, rose to 51.50, sod okra' at 51.23 ; and the Fives, which closed yesterday at 82.25, rose today to 83.40, and closed at 83.10. Bank shares Won, risen in a still greater ratio. They closed yesterday at 2125, and after rising to-day to 2500, dared at 2395.

Intermediat e ly f r o m Tuesday. market the corn trade in all its bearing here has been extremely passive, and the uninteresting details from other parts of the coun try are not calculated is enliven our proceedings ; buyers, therefore, are reluctant to increase their stocks in any material degree, and generally appear to want that confidence so indispenable to the formation of a firm and steady business. In accordance with the dull account from London, received by telegraph to-day, the trade throughout our market this morning was extremely languid in nearly all its departments ; holders, notwi th standing, refrained from pressing sales of any article materially Li low the current rates of Tuesday, and the few limited ttansactions in Wheat, therefere, were at pica equal to those then stated. Flour, in like manner, was difficuli to sell ; and although for States and Caaadian some buyers appeared, very little business transpired, and for any description, la either auks or barrels, our last quota tions were scarcely obtainable. Barley, Malt, Beans, and Peas, upon a limited demand, harldy supported former prices. The Oat trade, likewise, attracted very little notice, and was generally the turn lower ; Oatmeal at the same time barely sustaining its previous value. Indian Corn, being the only article commanding a fair degree of attention to day, moved rather freely on Irish account; importers, in order to promote sales, submitting to a decline MCA. per qr.

In the early pert of the day, a determi nation was come to by the Birmingham dealers not to give mere than 41d. per lb. for Beef ; farmers refused, however, to sell at that price. The average price f , :r the little that did change hands ranged from 4ld. to sd.

PIIBLIC MIMES& _______ _ _ ISECOND READlNG.Lifaiess Suipesslon Irehusd COMMITTER—IaIiad Imam TRANSPORTATION OF FEMALE CONVICTS. The Duke of RICHMOND asked whether it was the inten d= of government to abstain from, or entirely abandon, the system which had hitherto been pursued with regard to female eceviets sent abroad ; and he also wished to know whether It was their intention to breakup the establishment on board the Anson convict ship In Vaa Diemen's Land, which was now used as a receptacle for them convicts, or whether they in tended to wait until some further investigation with rekr ease to the :natter had taken pleas ? Earl GREY said that the eitablishment on board the Anson was entirely the act of the executive government of the day, and therefore no parliamentary interference would be required to authorise its 'modification or abandonment. He did not think that he should be justified in delaying to break up that establishment, merely for the purpose of affording parliament en opportunity of offering advice en the subject. The close association of females on board this ship had necessarily produced evils which no vigilance could pre vent. He had received two haltyearly reports on this subject from Sir W. Denison, the governor of Van Diemen's Land, and Mr. Hampton, the comptroller general of convicts at that island, and they were both of opinion that the este. blishment on board the Anson should be broken up. His own opinion wee that the system of hulks at Bermuda, Gib. niter, and Van Diemen's Land did not work well ; and he agreed with Sir W. Denison that • process of reformation should commence in this country, in order that female con victs when they arrived in the colony might at once be fitted for domestic servitude. (Hear, hear.) - . . . GERMANY. AUSTRIA.-VIZNNA, FEB. 18.—Our correspon dent writes as follows : Archduke Stephen bas been limited by our court, as well as by 180 magnates, to return here to pacify Hungapa. It has trans pired that some difficulties have arisen in the way of settling Hungarian grains by arms. Windiscbgratz, being himself a magnate, declines to fight La. lien-'1 tralisation. Jellachich no longer enjoys the confidence of the court, and is in Path , rat her a captive than commander of the town. The minister Bruck started for Pesth twit days ago, it is supposed to treat with Windischratz. The committee of our Austrian National Assembly have declared that they are prepared to lay before the house the completed project of the constitution. It is said that the ministry were not much pleased with this announcement, as they were about to imitate the Prussian ministers and to octroy a constitution here. From Szegedin I have also received a communica tion that the Beryline have declared their intention to kill all Magyars and Germans when they take the town. Item POOR-LAW COMMITTEIL—At the meeting of this committee yesterday, Lord John Russell moved that the fourth and filth of his resolutions, limiting the rate on each electoral diva ion in Ireland to 6s. in the pound for ens your, in the first instance, and imposing a rate in aid, to be levied on inch union for one or more electoral divisions, of 2e. in the pound, be adopted without taking evidence. To this proposition Mr. Monsell moved as amendment, that evidence Mt taken. After a long discussion, Lord John with draw his resolutions, and Mr. Monsell's amendment was adopted. Lord John then moved that the resolution adopted on a previous day, affirming the principle of a national rate, be reporded to the house. To this Mr. Mansell moved, as an amendment, a resolution, arming that personal pro perty, sad not sal property now rateable to the poor, should be taxed. This reidutson was negatived, and the resolution, on Lord John's motion, was reported to the house the foundation of • bill. WERT RIDING DINNER TO MR.

Miriam and the Comptroller-general had made their reports. He had not thought it necessary to call on Km. Bowden, as no fault had been found with her ma nagement. HABEAS CORPUS ACT SUSPENSION BILL. The Marquis of LANSDOWNE. in moving the second seeding of the Habeas Corpus Suspension (Ireland) Bill, entered into an :planation of the reasons which induced the government to continue the suspension until the let of Sep tember next Lord BROUGHAM thought the period of limitation too short, and blamed the government for allowing meetings to R. on until it wu too late to stop them. The noble and learned lord then proceeded to refer to the case of Burke, a juror on the recent trial of Duffy, who had got up and clapped his hands, and cried " Hear, hear," at some obser vations made by the prisoner's counsel. Such a country wu not fit to have trial by jury, for nothing more indecent could have taken place in the •gigwanta of Southern Africa. Lord MONTEAOLE considered the state of Ireland most alarming, but called the attention of the house to the fact that there use no law which imposed any restraint on the possession of arms in that country. The bill was then read a second time—committee mega tired—and ordered to be read a th rd time on Monday. TURNPIKE TRUSTS. The Marquis of SALISBITBY moped for : An amount of tolls raised under the Turnpike Trusts Ade, front the lit of January, 1841, to the let of January, 1849; distinguishing each year; with an account of those trueta which are In debt. 2ndly. Amount of debt, whether aching from money borrowed upon the oreurity of the MBA, the interest due thereupon, or other chants., at the present time. 3rdly. The amount of money raised by highway rate, from Easter, 1837, to Easter, 1848; distinguishing each year. 4thly. The amount of money contributed from the highway rates to turnpike made, from the year ISOT to the year 1818; distinguishing each year. The Duke of RICHMOND said that an attempt was about to be made to saddle the county rates with the whole of the turnpike trusts, and he wished to take the earliest opportunity of protesting against it. Surely this was not a time to add 8,000,0001. to the county rates, which were a direct tax on the landed interest. The time was fast coming when, sooner or later, they must go back to protection, or they would be called upon by the voice of the country to revise the heal taxation, whien pressed so unfairly on the landed interests of this country. (Hear, hear.) As to the malt tax, he would not give a year's purchase for it. That was one of the taxes on agricul• tune which was already doomed. When they talked et adding 8,000,0001. to the county rate they must remember by whim it was paid. It was paid out of the poor rate, and the smallest cottager in our villages paid his proportion of it. (Hear, hear.) At the suggestion of Earl Clusivima, the noble marquis withdrew his motion, with the intention of renewing it on an early day.

OSBORNE wished to put a questim as to the pri vileges of the house. He did not know what the custom might be as to committees of the house, but he had always understood that these committees ware open to the attend ands of members of parliament except during the time of division. There was a committee in which many memben took a strong interest, and he understood that that com mittee had come to a resolution to prevent the attendance of all members of parliament. This not being a secret com mittee he asked whether such a course of proceeding was is conformity with the rules of parliament. The SPEAKER.—According to the rules of the house, every member is privileged to &nerd in a ormenittee, unless the committee is secret. The usual practice has been that, during the deliberations of the committee, other members have left the room. There have been instaeces where mem bers would not leave the room, and where, on the applies. tion of the committee, the hone granted a power to exclude members. Mr. B. OSBORNE.—Am I to underrtand that they cannot tura me out of the room ? The SPEAKER.—They have no power to exclude the hon. member. =lees they here a definite power from the house. Mr. BRIGHT said that the hen. gentleman had not stated quite correctly the course which the committee had taken. The general rule was that during the taking of evidence any member might he present, but whilst the committee were discussing the resolutions and dividing on the resolutions, members had not a right to be in the room. Mr. B. OSBORNB—I beg leave to give notice to the how gentleman that I shall insist on coming in daring the discus sion. Sir J. YOUNG said that members might be present during the taking of evidence, but it was always the practice to absent themselves when the committee were deliberating or a division wes taking place. Sir J. PAKINGTOA.—The course taken this rawning on the Irish poor law committee I. the only course which I have seen taken I. every select committee of which I have been a member. POOR REMOVAL ACT. Capt. PECHELL asked the commissioner of poor laws whether In consequence of the recent decision In the Court of Queen's Bench having upset the opinion given by the law olden of the mown upon the construction of the Poor Removal des it le la' tended to cancel the instrustions (founded on that opinion) lamed to the board of guardians on the .oth of October, ; and whether provision will be made fiw the repayment to unions and, parishes of the expense' Incurred by them respectively, to tie maintensnes or . poor belonging to other parishes, whose relief was withdrawn in con elquenoe of thee instructions! The parish of Brighton had been put to an expense of mote than 1,0001. for maintaining paupers imposed upon them im properly. Mr. BAINES, in reply to the question which had been pet to him, said that the facto which bore upon the question now before the house were these. Very soon alter the peering of the Poor Removal Act, the 9th and 10th Victoria, c. 66, the poor•law oomosissionen received applica tions from the guardians of a great many unions for advice ea to the construction of one iirticulsz provision of the act. At that time no judicial decision had been_ prommteed of the subject. The poor.law commissioners did their beat tis furnish the most trustworthy advice to the guard ians who so applied. They laid a caw before gentlemen of the highest eminence—law officers of the crown—and took their opinion on the subject. Having obtained that opinion, they forwarded it to the different boards of guardians. Very recently, indeed, the court of Queer's Bench had de cided that the true construction of the provision of the act was different from that which was put on it by the law officers of the crown. What bad been done to make the decision of the Queen's Bench known was this: the decision having been pronounced most be taken to constitute the law of the land, and the poor law board had lost no time in making the parishes and unions acquainted with the fact. The attention of all had been called to the subject in the annual report of the poor law commissioners, and there was on the point of being waned, eke official circular, which was addressed to all ',verde of guardians through“ut the country, stating the decision of the Queen's Bench, and calling attention to the fact. They had also direteed that they should be furnished with an abstract of the decision which the Queen's Bench had pronounced on this act of par- Bement. They had lest no time in communicating to the different parishes. He wee not aware of any authority by which the repayment of expenses could be made. Capt. PEaItIILL asked whether it was intended to take into consideration the repayment of those expensw,which had become serious in many cases. BAlNES.—flince the hen, member had furnished notice of his motion, the attenti-n of the poor-law board had been directed to the subject, and they had come to the con clusion that they had no power in point of law to make any provision for repayment. WAR IN THE PUNJAUB. Mr. G. TROMPiioiiasitedthe President of the Board of Control Whether as her Majesty's minbiters have deemed it their duty to lay before the bowie a bluebook of 378 pages, relating to a rebellion in the island of Ceylon to July last, they do not oonsider it equally their duty to lay before the house the papers relating to the war in the Ptutjalib, described by hey Majesty in her i raeious speech from the throne as "a rebellion, ” widen wur has been going on since April, 1848, and has necemitated the calling of an army into the field of not leas than 120,000 men, including camp followers, and involving an extresedhsary expendltureof not 'Wes than five milllonasterling a year. Sir J. C. HOSHOUSE said that the question which the hon. gentleman had put to him, and which he intended to put to his noble friend the First Lord of the Treasury, was one of those questions, he submitted to the house, which were couched in term!, that entit'ed them to be called arguments tire questions. The hon. gentleman asked why it was, when the Queen's government presented • folio of 378 pages relating to a rebellion in the island of Ceylon, they did not present one equally large . as to the affairs of the Punjsub. The answer was very simple. The affairs of Ceylon were over, and government had thought it their duty to present those papers, that parliament might form some opinion as to those matters. Then he went on to say that a war had been raging since April, 1848. It had not been going on since April, 1848. The commencement dated much later than the period which the hon. gentleman mentioned. Ile then went on to state that there was an army now in the field of 120,000 men, including camp followers. He (Sir J. C. Hob house) knew nothing about camp followers ' • it might mean camels, and mitten of that sort. He could assure the hoa. member that the force in the field did not amount to half that number. And then he was so good as to estimate the con. How did he know that it cost five millions ? It had never been the practice to ask the question in this form. If the hon. member had simply asked when the pspen would be produced, he (Sir J. C. Hobbouse) would have told him. He had chosen to put the matter in an invidious form, which would have justified him in giving no answer. Mr. G. THOMPSON gave notice that he should on Mon day next move, in reference to that part of the Queen's Speech informing parliament th►t a war had broken out in the Pusjaub, that an address be presented 0 her Majesty, praying her M.jesty to direct the ppm to be laid before the house without further delay, and then justify the state ment he had made.

The family had been left in a state of beggary contrary to the assurance given by the right hon. gentleman the member for 'rantworth. _ _ - • - Sir J. C. 110BROUSE.—Thc reason why this money had not been given to certain parts of tho family wee, that the widow of the ex rajah of Sutton had reused to receive the money. PARLIAMENTARY RETURNS. Me STAFFORD asked the right hon. gentleman the Chancellor of the Exchequer, in the absence of the Secretary for Ireland, whom he regretted not to see in his place, a question of which ho bad given notice to-day. There were groom inaccuracies in the returns presented to the house in the papers before it, in reference to the distress in Ireland. In a return delivered this morning there were no less than seven financial inaccuracies. In page 2 there was a mistake of 501. ; in page 24, of 101. • in pegs 32, a mistake of no leas than 2,5001. They bad al so put that 6d. and nothing made 44. (A laugh.) Ile did not know why they were to be confused by official reports in addition to their other difficulties. Ho wished to ask whether the right hon. gentleman would be prepared to lay on the table amended sheets, and take care that such inaccuracies should not be repeated. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said that the papers had nut been prepared at the treasury, but had been received from the poor-law commissioners. Mr. HERBERT wished to ktow from whom the coin mireioners had received them? The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said that some, no doubt, had been received from the guardians and inspectors; however each bad appended the name of the person who had prepared it. If the hon. member would point out the inaccuracies he (the Chancellor of the Ex chequer) would make itiquuy and have them remedied. Mr. A. STAFFORD wu perfectly ready to do ee. There would not be much difficulty in proving that eizpance and nothing did not make foutpenat. (A laugh ) RATE IN AID (IRELAND). Sir J. WALSH asked, pursuant to notice, whether it wu the intention of government to introduce a bill to em power them to levy a general rate throughout Ireland in aid of the poor's rate, without waiting for the production of any evidence on that subject front the committee on the high poor law ? Lord J. RUSSELL—The committee now sitting on the ; re ported to has come to a resolution which has been re to the house to-cLy; and it is the intention of go vernment to bring en a measure founded on that resolution. Due notice will be given of its introduction. ADJOURNMENT OF TILE ROUSE. On the motion of Lord J. RUSSELL, it was resolved that the house at its rising do adjourn until Monday next. SUPPLY. Mr. HUME wished to know whether the committee of supply was to be the business of Monday evi fling. He had been informed by a member of the government that the hon. member for Limerick had withdrawn his amendment, in which case his (Mr. Hume's) motion would have precedence Mr. J. O'CONNELL did not know where the member of the government who had informed the hon. member for Montrose had himself got his information. All he (Mr. O'Connell) had said was, that if government came forward with comprehensive measures of relief, he would not stand in the way of their good intentions. Lord J. RUSSELL said that it was his intention to bring on the committee of supply the first thing on Monday evening. lie should wait until a later period of the evening before he made any other arrangements. ASSESSED TAXES. Mr. HODGES waaan;reustc7hea7iiom the Chancellor of the Exchequer whether it wu in contemplation to bring In any immure authorising composition of the amused taus. - - The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said that a bill had bean passed about two years Billet., under which the existinp compositions were made. That bill was enacted for Ave years, and he was not aware of any other measure being in contemplation. PARLIAMENTARY OATHS. The house went into committee on the parliamentary oaths. . _ The CILMMAN read the resolutions m fellows : That it is expedient to alter the oaths required to be taken by sub. jab of ha Majesty not professing the Roman catholic religion, as queliflatioss for sitting and voting in parliament; and to male pro. vision in respect of the mid oaths for the relief of her Majesty's sub. ' jade professing the Jewish Tension. Mr. V. SMITH rose to move the following amendment : That it Is expedient to abolish •11 oaths except the oaths of fidelity and allegiance to her Majesty. _ . . . He said he wished it to be understood that in moving this amendment he was not seeking to throw any obstacle in the way of the admission of Jews into parliament. But be thought that when the question of .parliamentary oaths generally was coming ancer discussion, it would be well to consider whether there were not a great many unneeerary oaths, and whether by their abolition a more agreeable road into parliament than that proposed by the re solution might not be opened fer persona of the Jewish persuasion. He entertained a very strong objection to the multiplication of oaths. (Hear, hear.) And as to the parliamentary oaths giving a solemn sanction to the entry of members into that house, any one who saw the crowd of members about the table at the commencement of a session would feel that there was very little of solemnity;in the i ceremony. (Hear, hear) He thought the oaths administered to Roman c. tholic members highly objectionable, and would if possible strike out the declaration " on the true faith of a Christian." The oath of supremacy was surplusage, seeing that there was now no preteeder to the throne, and there fore, under all the circumstances, he thought that a simple oath of fidelity and allegiance which might be taken by every class of her Majesty's subjects would answer every practisal purpose. Lord J. RUSSELL could only say, as he had said on a former occasion, that the arrangement of the parliamentary oaths in 1829 was looked upon es the final settlement of a geese question. He did not see that there was now any cause for altering that settlement, and therefore must oppose the right hon. gentleman's amendment. Kr. HUME thought it would be wise to abolish, ea tar as possible, all unnecessary oaths. (Hear, hear.) Silo he had been in parliament two bills, called the Duke of Rich mond's acts, had reduced the number of oaths taken in different public formalities by about twenty ndllions, and other arrangements had knocked off about twenty millions more. (A 'such) He was not aware that a greater amount of national dishonesty had been perceptible since the aboli tion. (Rear, hear.)
