It datives that the house will, " at the earliest opportunity in the next swam of parliament, take into its serious consideration the form of the oath of abjuration, with a view to relieve her Maptyty's subjects professing the Jewish tell gips." With a view to relieve them from what ?] The is merely • repetition of the ministerW promise by which Baron ROTWOCHILD and his cosstitueots were instead to leave their case during the session now approaching to a close in the hands of ministers —an act of conadeces which has been rewarded by their being deceived and disappointed. At the be ginning of the session they were told that a measure fur their relief would be more certain of success if its introduction were delayed till a later period; when the later period arrived they were told it was too late to think of doing anything till next year. The stale trick of telling en unfierternate dun to " call again to morrow" cannot be played twice. Besides, the proceedings upon Baron ROTHSCHILD'S claim to take hie seat have opened up a much wider l and more impot that question. What has to be done next year is not merely so to mcdify the oaths ad ministered to a member of parliament on taking his seat so that a Jew may take them—it is to re-model these oaths, so that they shall no Longer bee mockery and daring profanity. We are not going to tales the question of the morality of Muting one's self by psomissory oaths in the abstract, though mach may be said—has been said, sad well—by Seamus and others cm that subject. Oaths by which a per son binds himself always to believe as he now be lieves are absurd, for belief is no act of the will. To take such an oath is voluntarily to incur the risk of perjury. As for oaths to uphold say specific institution or constitutional arrangement, men slip oat of them under the plea that circumstance. have changed, and they are no longer applicable. On this plea Orkitoa IV. was induced to pass the Cathola Emancipation Bill, notwithstanding the *instruction he put upon his coronation oath. To how many constitutions and sovereigns did FALLT RAND eerier allegiance in successicn ? How many nonjurors were there after 1688? how many who felt the oaths they had taken under the old regime troublesome to their consciences? Promisecry oaths may prevent a man trim acting as his conscience dictates, but they are an eusory guarantee for loyalty either to a sovereign or a constiiutios. It is not, however, upon this view of the subject that we are at present prepared to insist. Our argu- ment is simply that the oaths administered to members of parliament require to be reformed, because they are unduly multiplied, and because they embrace matter better omitted. In the ease of Roman catholic mem bers one oath has been substituted for three : why continue to exact three oaths from others, unless it be by their multiplication to indulge the lovers of pro fane swearing in the uttering of three oaths instead of one ? The damnatory clauses in the oath of supre macy are tainted with a spirit of persecution and pre sumption utterly inconsistent with the iutelligence and tolerance of the age. Again, in the oat 3 of abjuration the party taking it is diligent to disavow the claims to the throne of England of imaginary beings, of persons not in existence. Ho might, with as much reason, be called upon to abjure the claims of PERRIN WAU!CK, or the Lady ARABELLA STUART, or the Princess OLIVE, as those of the descendants of the person who called himself JAMES 111. of England. Again, honest Touchstone has taught us how the knight why " swore by his honour that they were good pancakes, and that the mustard was naught," was not forsworn albeit "the pancakes were good, and the =tithed was naught." In defiance of the lesson of the " motley philosopher," our legisla tors persist in making men confirm the protestations of the oath of abjuration by an appeal to their " faith as Christians," whether they have any such faith or not. Can there be • more frivolous or profane trifling with things sacred than to compel men to swear by what may have no existence that thew repudiate the chime of people who do nut exist? Toe business for next session is not merely to re lieve the Jews from an accidental obstruction to their admission into parliament; it is so to remodel the oaths taken by members of pat liamsnt as to diminish the unnecessary frequency of appeals to the Maine Being ; to expunge those damnatory clauses which, by their prtsompti to, trench upon his prerogative; and those which, making a man swear by nothing against nothing, are sheer trifling with so eyeful a solemnity. The counter-tesolwion of which Mr. Hume has given notice seems to us entirely free from the objec tions we have urged against those of the ATTORNLT GENERAL. It leaves the casts of the Jew, exactly as it had hitherto stood ; recommends no movement that may bring the hones into collision with the courts of law: and pledges it to undertake next session such a revision of the ostbs as will make them all more C3ll. sistent with the changes which have taken place since the passing of the acts enacting them.

DENSIARK AND THE DUCHIES. A telegraphic deepa•ch, dated Rendsburg, July 31, in the Cologne Gazette, says:—" It is said that our army will again advance. Punishment by martial law is decreed against two i,fliceis of the 13th batta lion, and &1s) against the battalion collectively." REVD BURG, JCLT 29 . The battle has rot yet recommeuced, but I hare no doubt that ..• shall bare a wand and a third fight, for believe me the Schleswig army cannot so soon be annihilated. In the meantime the volunteers are coming in from all parts. The war-cry has not yet been heard all over Germany; but, notwithstanding. the number of officers and soldiers who are arriving is very great. Already upwards of 30 new officers bare been enrolled. All Germany is stirring—some from fear, others from anger. Up to the present time all the governments have been hostile to; Schleswig- Holstein, but all the people are in favour of the duchies. Whilst for instanoe the Hamburg Senate refuses leave to its officers who ere desirous of fighting in Schleswig- Holstein—a step, by the way, which dee, not pre vent the said officers from coming over to us—lour commercial houses is Hambnra have subscribed above 45,000 marks. All Hanover is in motion, and it is doubtful whether the government can long resist. The city of Berlin is also stirring, and the Prussian army iss*aken by the shock of the 25th of July. The rumours of an approaching war between Austria and Prussia are considered by many as a diversion against public opinion, which demands with great force that assistance should be sent out to the duchies; and the four camps into which the Prussian army has been distributed are rather dictated by the fear of govern ment lest the soldiers should become infected by con tact with the enthusiasm of the population. Be assured that this little was will not be moon ended ; but be assured also that if it is not over in a few weeks nothief can resist the general sentiment in Germany, which everywhere is pronounced in favour of Schleswig-Holstein. The army is the only force of German governments, but many of these armies have had contingents in the campaigns of 1848 and 1849. These are all impatient at being obliged to remain with their arms crossed, whilst their old brothers in arms are exposed to the rage of a power which is superior to them. The consequences of this, I repeat it, will be greater than the mere battles between the Schleswig-Holsteiners and the Danes. The government of the duchies knows this mysterious force, and yet hesitates to help it into life. But if no other course is left it will appeal to the German people, and when that goes forth a move ment will, I am certain, commence in Germany, of which no one can foresee the consequence or the end. This is what diplomacy has prepared for us. It may let loose, but cannot confine, public spirit, like the sorcerer's pupil in the romance of Goethe. FRANCE. PARIS, FRIDAY Reexixo.

The movement of the 3rd and lad brigade *mainly restraioed the enemy from pressing upon no ono slowly, nay, even perhaps from Imploring the Nonebridgs again below Idetedt. The 3rd brigade guirkly 'epithet the enemy with great bravery at Ober Smith, captured three 12-ponsiem entirely destroyed a squadron of the enemy's cavalry which had made ✓etreated charges on the village rode, and took two staff alms sad the sommathes ci 64 battery and equates prisoners. Bat it woo obliged to desist from this attack on lesizi2 that a portion of the enemy's troops, previously re by the 4th brigade, bad proceeded, atter resolving i n atonements, slag the sea shore in thltdiro2ith of Ehar - . fahrenatedt, and wen shoat loth/oaten the left wisp of the 3rd brigade is the rear. At this chop, and caesaphe this Illimmest. the combat with the 4th brigade was also re newed. The 3rd brigade sow retired, a peruos actress the Idstedt bridge, and another portion mom the ford. The 2nd brigade, which had also advanced with great firmness. inneuntaird somewhat later a superior form, and was com pelled to retina from its position at Wedelapaag, without eustaising any loss of important's. The remotes movestett of our right when from the plateau of Idstsit was coveted by repeated charges from the advance guard and by the heavy batteries. The lit rifle corps and the 2nd battalion, supported by the 12th battalion, which had been drafted from the 4*.h brigade, commenced at the ease instant a movement from Ganeraeland towards the beech wood, and drove the enemy towards The battle had sow continued from day-break till near 11 o'clock, whoa the enemy, now no longer pressed an his left wing, concentrated additional forces against the Idstedt position. To oppose this the grin cot part of the reserve artillery was brought up, sad the most fisroal T di spatted sonfilet of the day now took place with art( . We were in hopes of being able to maintain this pee r lion, as the greater part of the let brigade still rernaked in reserve. But when the Terri arrived that the enemy were forcing their way at Treys scroes the Trees' and had already coca pied Stuby, although he (the enemy) had been kept in cheek by the teems cavalry and some artillery, it appeared i hichly undesirable to allow matters to proceed to far, and about 1 o'clock the resolution was come to to give up the contest and commence a retreat. There seemed every peobability from the great numerical strength of the enemy that their position In our rear would moon be very considerably strengthased. A portion of the let brigade, consisting of the 3d and 4th battalions was there fore ordered to prev.nt the enemy gaining ground in our rear, and constituently rendering our retreat lees difficult. Our retreat commenced between 1 and 2 in the afternoon, with no other loss in material than three demounted guns. At Falkenburg the reserve artillery took up such a patties, a. elvered the advaneed guard, and the 4th brigade, and the retreat was so supported by a partial edvanee of the 3d bri gade hem Schmid, along the road, under the special com mand of Colonel Von der Tana Chief of the Oeutral Staff, that we were no lamer premed upon by the enemy. Tte order was now issued for the 24 and 3d brigades to retreat to Misunde, the 4th and advance guard to Schleswig, and the let brigade and the cavalry from Shuby to Bendaburg. On arrival at the C ode of Gottcop the 4th brigade and the advance guard (now brooms the rear) guard), took up the strong pcsitim at Fahrderf so as to maintain s sale communication with the 2nd and 3rd Wind, at Missunde, and also by this position to delay the enemy's Pittance by the direct road to Rendsburg ; and laxly, to favour the retreat of the let brigade, the reserve cavalry, end the heavy baggage, and to enat•le them to avoid the ground which the enemy's cavalry might render dangerous. All these objeeta were fortunately attained. TM whole of the bsggaae arrived safest Rendaburg. The room air valry and the lit brigade were but little disturbed during their retreat, and the four brigades forming the main body of the army had effected a junction on the night of the battle. But u it was necessary, above all, to reach the Hem po .ition of Readeborg as soon u possible, the arm commenced its march to Cluveneteck and Konigsforde.

The Austrian government will convene the Frank fort so-called plenum, even though ell the states of the union stop away, and it wilt bring the Schleswig-Hol stein question to a decision before this Assembly, without reference to the treaty of peace concluded by Prussia. It will be declared whether the fight of the Holsteiners is to be considered as war or rebellion. In the one case the confederation would support Holstein, is the other it would oppose. In either ease Austria will have exercised an inauenos in the North Sea, and it is inclined rather to interfere as against Holstein, because it would then act on the presumption that England will then take no precautions against itkin . &sass.

(Extract frosa a Letter written by en Eyewitness ) TARNOW, JOLT 23, 1850. Cracow, " the heart of Poland," is in ashes. You have, of course, learnt from the newspapers that o n the fith, at midday, the fire broke out, almost simnl. uneasily, at five different points in the city. Of the Episcopal Palace, of the two &est churches, the Dominican and the Franciscan, the memory alone re mains. Thousands of persons, once in easy circum- stances, are now enduring all the sufferings of burger, without a roof to cover them, or a place in which to Sod shelter. Of your sympathy, and that of your amiable family, we are certain; but we trait that all those whose hearts are accessible to pity will combine and afford some assistance to those unhappy sufferers. When Hamburg experienced a similar calamity, every one came forward with their subscription, and Poland was not backward on that occasion. The charity of Europe has not degenerated since that time, and she will surely not refuse her succour to this mass of people, to whom everything is lost. The fire-engines of theciey,twelve in number, were taken possession of, and conveyed to the c itad e l, an d it was only late on the second day of the conflagration that the government authorities could be prevailed upon to give them up, in order to render assistance to the burning city. Of the veracity of this fact I am prepared solemnly to depose on oath. Oe Court. OSBORNE, Auo. 2.

THE REPRESENTATION OF LAMBETH. Yesterday evening Sir Charles Napier addressed large meeting of the constituency, as 'tabled in the Horns Tavern. The gallant admiral was introduced by Captain Macdougall is complimmtary terms, and proceeded, midst muck interruption and %meter, mond by some partisans of Mr. Williams, who were present, to .zpl e i n hi m senti ments. He declared himself favourable to the free-trade minims recently enacted isy parliament, and announced himself to be a liberal in his opinions. He referred at some length to the letters addressed by him to Lord J. Rumell (and published in this joints]) on the state of the navy, and advocated retrenchment of expenditure, accompanied by greater efficiency in that branch of the ser vice. A question was put to him, as to whether he bad not given the rebels in Portugal assistance without authority ; and he replied that he went out to Portugal to restore a young sovereign to her throne, and had b, en wretched of the list. He had sumeeded, however, in his object, and he looked en that day es the proudest of his life, when, with three frigates and two brigs, be captured two line-of-battle ships and the whole of the Miguellte squadron. In reply to other interrogatories. Sir Charles declared that he did not think men could be made religious by act of parliament, though be was very anxious for the suppression of Sunday trading. He said that he was not for the abolition of to igging in the navy at present, nor for what was celled the People's Charter; nor for the separation of church and state. He con cluded by declaring his intention to go to the poll. The fol ' lowing resolution having been proposed by Mr. F. Knight, and seconded by Mr. Evans, was, aft., a muse of great con fusion, carried by a show of hands, an amendment to the effect that the liberal cause was endangered by Sir Charles's eandidaterhip being rejected: . _ That Sir Charles Na - pier l s political opinions and stanch opposition to all wasteful and unnecessary expenditure of public money being well known, not only by his public writings, but also by his fearless and manly conduct in parliament, this meeting considers him a fl, and proper pets= to represent the borough of Lambeth in parliament. A vote of thanks to the chairmen closed the proceedings. Meetings were also simultaneously held of the friends of Mr. Williams at the Baran T , Stork cell, and of those of Mr. Palmer at the Rwemary Branch Tavern, Peckham, at both of which the usual resolutions wt re passed. - - - The election day has been fixed for blonday neat, at Ken nington-common, and, if a poll is demanded, it will ti.k. plan an Tuesday. BRITISH ASSOCIATION. EDINBURGH, THURSDAY EVZNING. - - - The meetings of the various Factions commenced to-day in the Univeuity, the class,rooma of which were set apart for the purlieu. In the section of Mathemaical and Physical Science, Mr. F. Ronald nude a report on the observations and experi ments at the Kew Observatory; and the Rev. Baden Powell read a reply' on luminous meteors. Reports were also rend by Mr. W. I. M. Rankine, on the laws of the elasticity of solids; by Promisor 0 G. Stokes, on metallic refiezions ; and by the R,v. Mr. Powell, on the se!raetive indices of neural substances. A report was al.o given in by the Rev. Dr. Scoresby, on Atlantic waves, their magnitude, velocity, and phenomena. Dr. Scoresby, in his paper, gave a vivid description of a storm which he had wiineuerl on tin Atlantic; and stated that the result of hie observations on that °cession wu, that be had discovered that the height of the naves from the trough to the crest was 43 feet, and that their average velocity was 32 and a fraction miles per hour. This, it was stated, confirmed the observations m ode on the velocity of waves reported to the association in 1945 by Mr. Scott Russell, who set down their velocity at from 30 to 31 miles an hour. The Marquis of Northampton made some remaiks to show the importance of the 14110C1Wi011 in bringing pldlosophi rte together, and in mutually confirming each other in their observations. In the Chemistry section, Dr. George Wilson stated a few unpublished particulars respecting the personal character and habits of the late Dr. Black, the celebrated chemist. Among other particulars of his singularity, he stated that Dr. Black was in the habit of wearing in the streets of Edinburgh a pair of tin shoes ov.r his leather ones to protest his feet from wet, on which occasias he used to be followed by troops of boys, attracted by the singularity of his dress. He also said that Dr. Black bad thermometers hung up in his sitting room, and that the first thing he did whenever be entered the room was to examine them. The servants discovered that the mercury glasses, as they called them, told tales upon them when they neglected the fires or overheated the apart ment ; and they ultimately adopted the practice, when the thermometer stood too high,to hold them out at the window, and when they stood too low to hold them in front of the fire, • little before the doctor entered the room. The trick was never disoovered. In this section • toper was read by Pro- fessor Vulcker on the per centers of nitrogen as an index to the nutritive value of food. The object of the paper was to point out the objections which apply to the present method of determining the nutritive value of articles of food by chemical analysis. Papers were also read by Mr. Henry Taylor cn the chemical composition of the rocks of the coal formations, and by Mr. J. P. Joule on some amalgams. Mr. J. R. Gutiot gave in a paper on a peculiar form produced in a diamond under the influence of the volttic arc. He showed to the section • diamond which had been exposed to the intense heat pro- dated by the voltaic battery when ranged as in the device for the electric light. The diamond had been fused, but instead of changing into coke, as in such circumstance. diamonds generally do, it become a gluey mass, and seemed to consist of a multitude of small crystals adhering together. The other paper read in this section was one by Mr. H. C. &why on the dimorphism of carbon. In the Geological section, papers were read by Sir Roderick Murchison, on the discovery of carboniferous fossils in the crystalline chain of the Pores, France, and on the age of lines of dislocation ; by Professor Edward Forbes, on the succession of bade, and the distribution of organic remains in the Donstshire wheels ; by Mr. Bryce, on the Lesmakiagow and Douglas coalfields ; and one by Dr. Cullen, read by Mr. J. Hoge, on California. A paper was also read in this section by Mr. Orntroi, on the gradual subsidence of a portion of the surface of Chat Moss by drainage. Mr. Omerod, its his paper, showed that the resod of a series of levels taken by him during the last four years over an extent of about 200 acres where drainage was carried on, was a subsidence at the rate of one foot per annum. In the Natural History section, papers were read by Dr. Hugh Clasher'', on the hedge plants of India; by Sir J. Dalyell, on the exuviation on the changes of integuments by animals; by Professor Hoyle, on the distribution of the herband d the Etat India Company ; by Mr. Hancock and Dr. Embleton, on the anatomy of doris ; by Mr. C. Babies ton, on anacharsis alsinustrom ; and by Dr. Macdonald, on the vertebral homologies of the buicraninus. In the Ornithological subsection, papers were read by Dr. E. Maks, on the language and mode of writing of the ancient Assyrians ; by Protessor Rangabe of Athens, on ado ditions made to our knowledge of the ancient Greeks hy• oan, the beyezi.Mrte. nce ofWpiliissi.ens„ In the Mechanical Science section, • report was reed by ti ur t r e e en di sco ve ri es lZioo i r t i l anul an dt d, ths p ine vi e ar Gvi r n the as; Mr. Scott Russell, from Rio Janeiro, on the engross of tie wave principle se applied to the construction of ships in CM Brasile. Papers were also read by Mr. Stokes 0e the hyper bolic law of the elasticity of east don ; by Mr. Honeenham Cox ; by Mr. Ratkven,on improvements to propelling steam easels ; by Mr. Macpheraoo, on • method of preventing , water pipes bunting with frost ; and by Mr. James Neamyth. on improvements in forging iron. In the Statistical section, moot interesting papers were re by Mr. G. R. Porter, of the Board of Trade, on some mad. mien of selfiimpoesd taxation. Mr. James Simpson, Moo. cote, and several other members, expressed their sense otth a value of the paper now read by Mr. Porter, and hoped* as it would be generally diffused. Professor Harcort then raid a paper en the cost of obtaining patents in different come ties, The seetlosal meetings finished at about three in the after noon. A general meeting was held in the evening In the Muss. hall, when • discourse was delivered by Professor Rennet.
