LOA J. RrSSELL, in moving that the house go into committee, explained the course he proposed to take with re paid to this bill, which amongst other things provides a form of oath to be taken by Jews elected to sit in parliament. He was informed that in the absence of ministers It would not be cot/eldest to go on with the discussion that might miss in committee ; and, therefore, he wished now only to go into committee, with a view of introducing certain alters. tons in the 7th chess, leaving the discussion to be taken on bringing op the report. It was objected that the 7th clause, ea it stood, re-enacted the oath taken by Roman catholic mat. bee, and In order to ramose that objection he proposed to leave out the words at the sad of the claim " that such oath shall continue to be takes a if the act had not passed." Another objection argot by the hon. and lammed member gar Sheffield (Mr. Rollback) was that the oath embodied in this bill admitted of such an interpretation as to melts it declare that the Pope of Rome exercisod no spiritual authority over the minds of Roman cothollos in this country. For his own part he did not think that each an interpretation could be put upon the words of the oath, but still, with the desire to remove this second objection, he proposed at a future stage of the bill to Insert some words in the preamble of the mith to make it cher that members taking it did not affirm their belief that the Pope of Rome exercised Do inflemos over the minds of Roman catholic.. Mr. NEM'DECI AT E °motored in the coarse proposed to be takes by the noble lord. Mr. T.

He should be also pled to awortein fiver the noble lord whether, is the event of the Larder' throne' oat this bill, he would adhere to his deolaratkin to make ea attempt to seat Baron Rothschild by resolution. (Hear.) Mr. WALPOLE thought they bad better defer that mat ter till they got into committee, as the noble iced could not speak main on the motion before the chair. Mr. T. DUNCOM BE said he would move tho adjourn ment of the debate, to 'rive the noble lord the opportunity of replying to his gammons.

This (Wednesday) morning, between the hoars of three and four o'clock, the inhabitants of Sishopeptwetheth sad Devonshire-mqtutro were painfully dinned in other games of • fire breaking oat in • lofty reap of premier occupied conjointly by Mr. H. Dupin, a foreign insirchent, kr. H. Selminits, Mr. H. Hare, • solicitor, Mr. Graff, user chant, and Mr. Hume% a master tailor, and Mrs. Ilainzell. The building in which the the commenced stood at the corner of Devonshire-square and Devonshire-street, and the means of egress were much more difficult than if the house had bun flanked on either side by other buildings. The ccastable on duty in the neighbourhood, in pegging the house latticed wink., Issuing from the lower part of the builiing, apparently from the kitchen. He at once sounded an alarm, and having procured stKistance, sent off for the Royal Society's escapes and engines. in the course of • few minutes Ellbeck came up with the amps from Bishopsgatis-etation, end pitched his machine against the part of the house fa Devonshire-street- At that time he noticed two prams, viz., )(r. Gilpin and Mr. Graff, at the second floor window imploring for eseletance of the conductor. Eilbeck bravely ran op the mape and succeeded in bringing out the two gentkmcn, who were safely landed on the ground. The conductor then heard loud memos from the attic windows of the seine house, but feting the unser To get to thee part of the building he was obliged So shift the machine, but before he could do so Mrs. Hemzell wee seen endeavounog to pull her husband oat of window by one hand, whilst at the same time she was with the other hand deroolirhing the window glass. The Ike at length sesurtvld sor b • burrol aspect, and the smoke rose in such heated bodies, that in order to rave own life, the unfortunate woman wee obliged to let her haebend drop in the midst of the smoke, and she was compelled to get oil of window and run along the Fampet, every one below expe c t ing t h at s h e would fall over. Fortunately she managed to rea b the next house and get out of the reach of the fire. Filbert and Cook, the conductors of the ware, threw up the top ladders, ascended the same, and did alt they possibly could to enter the place end get the unfortu sate man, known to le within, from the blazing pie, bat the smoke roes is such bxlies that neither were able to enter. Mn. Hawaii was taken down the house to which she had escaped end was found to be terriLly cut about the hands end face She i.e at once taken into the Metropolitan Free Hospital. There is strong ground for supposing that the will speedily recover. The total loss is very considerable. Owing to the excite ment which prevalkd, it was impossible to learn whether or tut the whole of the sufferers were insured, bat we learned that Mr. Gilpin wee insured in th e M anc h e ster Fire Office. As soon se the rains WWII sufficiently cooled, some of the firemen entered and found the body burned almost to • cinder lying just adder the window where the poor woman had left her lituband • short time before. The remains were plead in • shell and removed to the deed-house of Bishop/gate Church, to await en inquest. Eilbeck has eared not fewer than thirteen lives in • period of fourteen days.

Two o'CLoow.. The funds retain a tendency towards Improve ment. Today an advance of per cent, has been established. The government broker continues to make small investments daily. In the share markets also a somewhat better feeling prevails, but in English railway stocks the upward movement is very slow. Consols for the Bth of April were first marked 981, and have advanced within the bat half hoar to 97 to For money the present quotation is 961 to 97. India Stock for the account has been dealt in at 220 ; Exchequer Bills at 38s. to 425. prem.; and India Bonds at 2415. to 30s. prem. . Turkish Six per Cents, are quiet, but have im proved to 1011 to 1021. Other foreign stocks are generally well supported, and business in this department exhibits some symptons of revival. Sales are recorded as follows :—Buenos Ayres De ferred Three per Cents., 18; Dutch Two•and{-Half per Cents., 831 (exch. 126.); do., Four per Cent.

At Paris, to-day (Wednesday), acoording to Mr. Renter's telegram, the Three per Cent. Rentes opened at 69.40 for the account, showing a decline of be. The Bourse is described, however, as "rather animated and firm." The steamer La Plata, from the West Indies, has brought 249,3921. in specie. Apart, altogether, from political considerations, there are some features connected with the money market calculated to stimulate confidence. In two days a million sterling in gold has arrived off the coast. As the price of silver has at the manse time fallen—a circumstance which must tend to dis courage, for the present, extensive withdrawals of silver from the Continent—it seems reasonable to anticipate that the Continental exchanges will assume more firmness, and that a fair proportion of these enormous gold arrivals will be retained here. There is thus a prospect of the stock of gold in the Bank being speedily carried over eighteen millions sterling. Considering the prolonged absence of any commercial demand for money at the Bank, a reduc tion of the minimum rate of discount of that esta blishment from 3 to 2} per cent. may be looked for from week to week. The amount of gold sent into the Bank yesterday , after deducting a small withdrawal, was 46,000/. ... In the discount market there is a moderate de mand for money, at 21 to 2i per cent. for first class bills; but at the Bank yesterday the applications were scanty. In the Stock Exchange yesterday 2 per cent. per annum was paid in some cases for loans on govern ment securities, the demand having somewhat increased. Yesterday the Tyne arrived from the Brazils with 294,2501. in specie, and the Bent from Melbourne (in 88 days) with 48,215 ounces, worth 192,8001. These remittances represent a total of 487,6601., or, inclu sive of the arrivals reported on Monday, an aggregate of about 980,0001. Of the gold by the Tyne a con siderable portion is believed to consult of sovereigns, which will be sent into the Bank. The 192,3791. in Australian gold ez the steamer Teviot reached London yesterday, and about 10,0001. was taken for exportation to the Continent. The 272,3001. brought from Melbourne by the Blackwall will be delivered to-day, and a portion will pro bably be sent into the Bank as soon as it can be refined. A sum of 4,2601. in specie is known to have been shipped by the Tagus for the Peninsula. The amount placed on board the Orinoco, for the West Indies, is 6,6601. A total Of at least 70,0001. in Russian gold is ex pected to arrive in the Thames from St. Petersburg during the next three or four days. The bar silver ex the steamer Parana was /told yesterday at tie. 1;d. per canoe standard, showing the important reduction of Id. per ounce compared with the price realised for the remittance by the previous packet. This decline is accounted for by the non receipt of any intelligence from Calcutta and China, coupled with the news reported by telegram of a decline in the Bombay exchange. The balk of the silver brought by the Parana is stated to have been taken for transmission to Copenhagen. to meet a payment is connexion with the Sound dues. It is believed that the shipments of silver to the East by the steamer Pera, on the 20th inst., will be consi derably below recent remittances. Aboirt 60,0001. in silver has arrived in the Thames within the last day or two from the Continent. The foreign exchanges yesterday afternoon were generally firm. The rates for paper on Amsterdam were quoted rather higher. Draft on Paris were in re gnat, and for three months' dates rather lower terms were current; but bills on several of the other lead ing Continental cities remained unsold at the close of Change, in the absence of demand. The following may be given u the current prices : Amsterdam, three months, 11.17 to 1 ; do., short, 11.14 is 15 ; Rotterdam, three months. 11.17 to 1 ; Antwerp, three months. 25.271 to 30 ; Hamburg, marks banal, three months, 13.6 to 1 ; Paris, three days sight, 25.6 to 121 ; ditto, three months, 25.321 to 71 ; Frankfort-oa ths-Maine, three months, 1181 to 1; Petersburg. we rouble, three menthe, 36 ; Vienna, ed. do., three months, 10.28 to 31; Trieste, do., three mon th s, 10.28 to 32; three swaths, AI to I ; Cadiz, three months, 421 to I ; three months, 29.70 to 6 ; Genoa, throe months, .621 to 6 ; Naples, three months, 411 to ; Palenno,lthres months, 1241 to 1 ; Messina, three months, 124+ to 6; Lisboa, 90 days, 611 to ; Oporto, 90 days, 61 to I. The amount of bills drawn by the East India Company on India, from the 9th to the 15th inst. (yesterday), is 1,0001. only—all on Bengal. The directors of the Ottoman Bank have published their report. Owing to the recent critical state of trade, the directors, from prudential motives, issued orders for a great contraction of the company's business, a course which naturally involved a diminution of profits. Losses by bad debts were also incurred; and against these (including doubtful debts), 12,0001. is set aside. After appropriating 1,0001. towards the preliminary expenses, a net profit of 6,1361. is shown for the half-year. Adding the amount brought forward from the previous half year, a total balance of 21,1651 is shown ; but, con sidering the fluctuations in the exchanges and other circumstances, no dividend is recommended. The suggestion of the beard is that 20,000/. be set apart as the nucleus of a reserve fund, and that the ba lance of 1,1631. be carried forward. The directors of the Agra and United Service Bank have recently declared a dividend for the past six months at the rate of 10 per cent. per annum, to which they have subsequently added a bonus of ten shillings per sham ; making a total distribution at the rate of 12 per cent. per annum. Pursuant to the invitation contained in the cir cular published in the Express of the 18th inst., a meeting of shareholders in the unfortunate North of Europe Steam Navigation Company took place yesterday at the offices of the company; Mr. Philip Caxenove prided. Amongst the gentlemen pre sent were ?dears. Morrison, Bagshaw, Abel, Malins, and about thirty others. At an early stage of the proceedings it was intimated that, as they would partake of the character of a private conference amongst parties interested in the undertaking, the re porters for the press ought tobe excluded. This step Ina acoordingly adopted. The object of the meeting was apparently to confer as to the measures proper to be adopted for the resuscitation of the company, which, after bein represented by the directors u rn a sound and satisfactory condition, is, in reality, is fermis. After a long and warm discussion, it was by Mr. Taylor, and seconded by Colonel proposed (who proposed the former committee of shareholders), that a committee, consisting of Colo nel Hervey, Mr. John Yates, and Mr. Jackson (the partner of Sir S. M. Peto), be appointed to consult with the Board of Directors, with a view to avoiding the louse attendant upon a forced liquidation, and to endeavouring to form a new company. In the course of the proceedings a letter was read from Sir S. M. Peto, who, in the present excited state of the shareholders' minds, considers it unadvisable to at tend personally at either of the meetings called for this week. At an extraordinary meeting of the General Iron Screw Collier Company yesterdaiiresolution was unanimously adopted for the win • up of theun dertaking, and a committee of share older§ was ap pointed to carry out this object. The half-yearly dividends are advertised on the An 10-Peruvian Three per Cent. Deferred Bonds, and on the Chilian Biz and Three per Cents. The particulars of the sinking fund of the Chili= low are also published. TUESDAY ZEINEDIE. The funds to-day were firmer in character. At one period an advance of 1 per cent. was attained, and, although symptoms of hesitation were observ able at the close, the result of the day's transactions was an improvement of rather more than 1. per cent. The ministerial assurances that the difficulty with France is at an end contributed chiefly to the im proved feeling, which extended into most other de partments of the Stock Exchange. The market least affected was that for English railway stocks, in which any tendency towards recovery seems to be met by sales, based upon the decline in the traffic.
