THE SUN, LONDON' TUESDAY EVENING, truth, but now the Pope did exercise power in this country, by the appointment of Roman Catholic bishops, and they all knew how acts of imperial policy had been impeded in Ireland by the mandates of the Pope being strenuously proclaimed in that country. It was impossi ble for them to say the Pope did not exercise spiritual au thority directly in Ireland. That he exercised no direct authority by act of Parliament he could understand, but it was difficult, without mental interpretation or mental reservation, to swear he had no indirect authority in that country. To call upon a Roman Catholic to swear that the Pope had no spiritual authority in this country was to call upon him to deny one of the tenets of his chureb, and it was no ;cr..3wL,r to be t.ll that many very good awl pious men had from time immemorial sworn to those words, because it was notorious that a few years ago oaths multiplied with so much levity, that persons took them with no more religious feeling than in paying taxes. A great change had, however, taken place in that respect. A great many thought and held it to be a solemn proceeding instead of an idle form, and instead of being laughed at, it was considered a solem nity in which the heart and the conscience of the party did their part, He was inclined to consider the oath as humiliating to Protestants, from its inconsistency to acknowledge facts foreige to our legislative intentions, setting a bad example of lax political morality which in the eyes of religious people they could not pass uncon cerned. The case of the Roman Catholics he thought was still harder, for they had to subscribe an oath which in their eyes was untruthful in substance. He should laim to himself the right of raising the question on some future occasion, and should now content himself with entering his protest against the Roman Catholic oath. (Cries of •` divide.") Lord PA.LMERSTON concurred in the opinion ex pressed by his noble friend the member for London that it was desirable there should only be one oath to be taken by all members of the house - (hear, hear)—if such an oath could be framed sufficient for its purpose. And although he did not agree with his right honour able friend who had just sat down that there was any thing in the Roman Catholic oath that was untruthful— (hear) —or that there was anything in it he could not c•mscientiously take, although it contained statements disavowing doctrines which he entertained, he agreed with his right hon. friend that it was very desirable some alteration should be made in it. Yet he con curred with his noble friend in thinking they bad better dispose of the matter in hand without coup ling it with another obj , se. They could not disguise from themselves that it was a matter of difficulty to pass a bill for the admission of Jews to Parliament, and be did not think it was the best way to surmount one difficulty by unnecessarily creating a second difficulty. (Hear, bear.) It appeared to him that if they all at tempted two things at once they were likely to fail in both, and that by agreeing to the amendment without improving the condition of the Roman Catholics they were likely to impede the chances, of the bill for the ad mission of the Jevrs to Parliament being carried. He recommended the hon. member not to embarrass the present question by going to a division on the amend ment. _ _ _ _ Mr. WIGRA.M said the motion before the house in volved a mater of great importance. If the bill passed, Protestants would still be required to make abjuration of the Pope having any spiritual power in this country, whilst Rogan Catholics, under Roman Catholic emaoci pati.-n, were at liberty to substitute the oath abjuring the temporal power of the Pope ; but if they made the proposed alteration the effect would be that Roman Ca teolics could come and take the oath which the clause struck out of the bill, and avoid making the abjuration now required of the Pope's temporal power. The change was an important one, and, if carried, would meet with the disapproba'ion of the country. Three or four years since, the house was occupied nearly the whole of a ses sion in di-cussing the temporal power of the Pope, which they were now about to abandon. He suggested that the words should he retained with the addition of the words "not lawful'' jurisdiction in this country. (Divide.) Mr. STEUART suggested the words "not rightful" jurisdiction in this country. Mr. FORTESCUE bad ne wish to endanger the cause of the Jew, but he could not refrain from expres sing his objection to the re-enacting objectionable parts in the old oath which he as a Protestant thought should be expunged. (Divide.) Mr. HASSALL, amidst loud cries of divide, was understood to oppose the bill. Mr. COGAN explained that the noble lord the mem ber for London bad mistaken his motion if he thought that the Roman Catholics, having been admitted to that house, they wished to slam the door in the face of the Jew. He had no desire in moving the amendment to oppose the bill as regarded Jews. (Divide.) The house then divided, when the numbers were— For the amendment Against it Majority_ Mr. STEUART then moved the introduction of the word bath, or ought not to have, "rightfully" any juris diction, etc. Lord J. RUSSELL said he thought some difficulty would arise in giving a correct definition of the word. He preferred the words " by law." Mr. GLADSTONE said it was admitted on all hands that it was desirable something should be done in regard to these words, and the question was, which of the words suggested was the best for taking the opinion of the house I The noble lord the member for London pre ferred the word "lawfully," but he (Mr. Gladstone) be lieved the noble lord's construction of the oath with it introduced would not hold. It was a question composed partly of history and partly of the private impressions of individual , . The object of the oath, and that with reference to the supremacy, was to exclude Roman Catholics, and it was retained at the Revolution to ex• du le them alone, but there may be many Roman Catholics in this country who were conscientiously ef opinion that the Pope neither path, nor ought to have any legal or coercive jurisdiction or power in these realms, as was the case with the Roman Catholics of the - Waited States, who, as a body, objected in the strongest manner to any such power being exercised by the Pope—(hear, hear)—and such was the lan guage always held in that house by the late Mr. O'Connell, and if that were the right construction there was nothing to have prevented Mr. O'Connell from taking the oath at the table of the house, if such were his opinion. His (Mr. Gladstone's) opinion was that the construction to be put upon the words of the oath was, that the Pope bath not or ought not to have "rightfully, properly, and justly" jurisdiction in this country, and as there appeared to be a difference of eons. ruction of the oath, he wished to bring to the minds of hon. members the great constitutional importance of the matter, which difference was of itself a proof that the °instruction of the oath required the atten ion of the house—(hear, hear)—and that it should not be le ft to A, B, and C to consider for themselves. There ought to be a legislative construction put upon an oath that purported to aim at a great constitutional object, and which different gentlemen construedin different modes for themselves. His right hon. friend referred to the position of the Moravian body in reference to the oath of supremacy. He believed no body enjoyed more universal respect from all cla3ses of Christians teen the Moravians (hear)—but they, having the misfortune to be governed by a foreign jurisdiction, termed the " Con-i-tory," at Hermanstadt, in Germany, a case had recently been sub mitted to the eminent civilian, Dr. Twisr, and he had given it as his opinion that a Moravian could not properly and correctly take the oath of supremacy, and conse quently he was deprived from taking rffice under the Crown. Thera were no great difficulties in the case. One hon. member gave one meaning, the "rightfully, and his noble fri-nd another, the "lawfully," consequently it was the duty of the house to bring to the matter some authoritative solution. He hoped that the amendment would be adopted as originally proposed. Mr. ROEBUCK pressed for a legal and authoritative solution of the difficulty. Toe word proposed, "pro perly," would only complicate the difficul . y. As the law stood the Pope had spiritual power in this country, and the real way to deal wi h this bill would be to leave out the words altogether. Roman Catholics were no longer excluded by those words—the exclusion applied to Pro testants. The oath, as it stood, was untrue, and sorely pressed conscience. (Hear.) Men took the oath without attaching the meaning to it which the defenders of it in tended. But he regarded the words in the oath as a nettle in his path, and he trampled upon it. (Hear, hear, and a laugh.) The word ought not to be "rightfully," but "by law." (Hear, hear.) Sir R. BETHELLthought that much confusion would be avoided by referring to the ceogieal WaCle it would be found that the words " spiritual and ecclesias tical" were of one and the same importance. The word " spiritual" applied to the authority exercised by courts of justice. The authority of the Crown was pre-eminent, and the oath abjured all foreign spiritual authority in temporal matters. What a man declared when he took the oath of supremacy was, that whatever jurisdiction might be exercised in the land derived its source from the Crown. The words " lawful'y" or "rightfully" were mere surplusage, as they were already expressed in the oath. (Hear.) Mr. B. HOPE said that the best argument against the desirability of such an oath as this, was the diver gence of opinion which existed as to its meaning on the part of members who in their professional capacity were a silk gown. (Hear, hear, and a laugh.) It was of the first importance not to introduce a definition which could become the subject of doubt and contention. He suggested the word " legally " Toe ATTORNEY-GENERAL for IRELAND pre ferred the words as tbey stood in the oath, as affording they aprotectio be nto op m p e re n ss i ed. nmany circumstances in which might Mr. L. WIGRAM expressed a similar opinion. The amendment was then withdrawn. Lord J. RUSSELL then moved the omission of the words "direr ly or indirecrly," at page 2, line 10. Mr. WALPOLE assented. Mr. N EWDEGATE then proposed to leave out clause 5. Ile did not affect to be a better man or better Chrie tier) than other gentlemen in that house, but he felt a deep conviction that it was not only impolitic, hut abec. lot ply wrong to seek to uncbristianise the Legislature as this course would do. For many years he had acted in unison with men of learning, Christian feeling, and be nevolence, who thought that the admission of Jews to Parliament would uncbristianise the House of Commons. Tee contest lay between a wealthy Jew, his City Con stituency, and a party in that house, who stood up for what they called '` civil and religious liberty." lie be lieved that Baron Rothschild contemplated an inroad on th:eeuetitution by seeking admission to the house ; but he lookedpeople with confidence to the continued opposition el nb i gttou;o:::01 1;1: : Ili: " t i le; such i lu n tice jyhtodaw u el: ei n twai :: c tphsto l i pt:ipoa r nnhal i Jinn i n potowirta i unnshi assuming . 0 nto.: But gjnnfl shoulduoi wt:lbi attempt. ihntphbiee eetwcoeipurposes dieue Ministerial oHipei admitted office, reehad h iseci a naeei c:eedo,g. his system from the Talmud and from traditions which had been productive of so much misery to the Jewish na tion. Few people seemed to know what Judaism was, or its fatal effects upon the Jewish people. In the inte rest of the Jew it had been asked whether the mere pro fession of Judaism mentally disqualified Jews from the functions of legislators? Should not some cause be found which disqualified them also from participating in the general responsibilities of societies ? St. Paul had long ago answered this question when he said that the Jews would remain judicially blind until the fulness of the Gentiles had come in. The traditions of the Jews rendered them anti-social, and merle thee) a separate nation. A work bad recently appeared from the pea of Earl Grey—a work which would well repay perusal. In that book the noble earl conten led that the representa tions by the noble lord the member for the city of Lon don had operated prejudicially to his success as a Mieis ter, and that the late Sir R. Peel had enjoyed much greater personal freedom as the representative of Tam worth. The noble lord had been forced into carrying out the views of his constituents on this quessioo. There was abundant testimony to show that the religion of the Jews acted prejudicially upon their mental vigour and action ; as instead of determining questions of morality in a spirit of independence, they slavishly followed the traditions of their religion. Dr. MiCaul, in no spirit of hostility to the Jews, but in a fair spirit of criticism, distinctly affirmed that the oral laws of the Jews had been so much multiplied, that it was quite alisurd to suppose that they could be committed to memory. That learned person also showed that these oral laws loosened the moral obligations, taught men how to evade the Divine commands, permitted dispensations, the extermi nation of the " unlearned," and effected other unfortu nate resute, much to be lamented. The elder Disraeli, in his "Genius of Judaism," dwelt eloquently upon the tyranny of the religion taught by the Pharisees ; and yet it was sought to introduce men into the legislature who would act in the spirit of that tyranny. The doctrines of the Jewish religion were immoral, and the practices sanctioned were equally so. The present practice of the Jews was affected by their doctrines. He came to the second point, that the religion of the Jews was anti rational. That was admitted by the Jews themselves. The hen. gentleman quoted from a pamphlet called " British Emancipation, by David Anderson," in support of his viewe. The Jews were aliens, not by the accident of their birth, but by the precepts of their religion. Their doctrines constituted them aliens from this country. Tis was shown in a recently published sermon of the chief rabbi Adler. The Jews were to be found in all sorts of characters. Why, it was even said that the first Jesuits were Jews. There was now a similarity of objects be tween the Jews and the Jesuits. Never had the Roman Catholics joined in upholding the Christian character of the legislature. Those who wished to break down the constitution of the country used this question f ir their abject. They wished to introduce Judaism into the house, and thereby minister to the despotism which existed abroad. He spoke in behalf of the freedom of this coun try. Those who desired to separate the Church from the State were the most ardent in their support of this mea sure. All the enemies of the Constitution were agreed in support of the measure. The Jew despised ths Chrietian faith. It hail been said that if the Jews were admitted to the Legislature, the affairs of the Legislature would go on just the same. Now, what occurred in Amsterdam In 1850 the Jews were admitted to the corporation of that city, and then the prayer with which that assembly usually opened its proceedings was abandoned. It might be said that was a trifling instance, but he would show how that vicious system was spreading. The name of Jesus was was excluded from all the prayers used in the national schools, in order not to offend the Jews. That showed how jug were the apprehensions of those in this country, who viewed the present measure with alarm. In forcing this measure on, the noble lord was running counter to the feelings of his unoffending countrymen. Many people supposed that the Jews were relaxing their submission to the rabbis. The proof that that was not f o was to be found in the feet that the Jews had rejected the test which had been applied to them in Prussia. That was a test renouncing doctrines which were subversive of the Christian religion. This measure was a proposal to exalt a religion which denied the divinity of the Divine Author of our relzion. He could not think such a measure was consistent with the prayer of that house. He could not hope after the passing of this measure that the country would be prosperous. Those who supported the measure would sin against freedom, whose foundation was Christianity. Mr. GILPIN, in opposing the amendment, main tained that not only the principles of re igious libsrty but the dignity of Christianity itself, would be promoted by the removal cf Jewish disabilities. Mr. DRUMMOND admitted the political propriety of the measure, which admitted Jews to Parliament, but believed that it was altogether incompatible with a maintenance of the union of church and state. Mr. BUNG observed that toleration was the life blood cf the Christian religion. One relic of intolerance still remained in our code, indirect in its operation, and introduced for the purpose of prohibiting a Jew front entering the legislature. He called on the house to obliterate the last trace of the ancient disabilities. Lord R. CECIL insisted that the functions of par liament were to a great extent connected with the dis cussion of religiou s questions. On this ground he argued that no one was fit to be a legislator who did not profess the national religion. Mr. HUGIIESSEN opposed the amendment. After some explanation from Mr. T. DIJISICOMBE, Mr. C. FOILTESCUE contended that the clause it was proposed to cancel ;cal the best and most important feature in the bill. Mr. WALPOLE said that the question had been so often before the house, and was of so painful a nature ; it was so wearisome t) travel over the same ground again, that he was somewhat unwilling to occupy the house ; but as the question was again brought before them, he felt bound to state the reasons, though so often repeated, why he adhered to a course founded on his conviction of the eternal compact between God and man. (Hear.) He did not condemn the Jews for their social or moral qualities; on the contrary, be would say that their obedience to the law of this country, their studious care of their own people so remarkable, that there was only lone instance in history of a Jew receiving relief from his perish. (Hear.) Their charities were not confined to their own people, but extended to those from whom they differed with the most liberal hand, were considerations which, if this were a question of dealings and not of principle, would induce him to support the measure. He should state the sole ground on which he opposed the measure, and if he said anything wrong the noble lord would have an opportunity of answering him. But he wished to exclude not only the consideration of the personal character of the Jews, but also the suggestion of the hon. member for Middlesex that they were keeping out the Jews by certain accidental words. He believed that they were excluded, not by those words, but in con sequence of an inability inherent in themselves of tuna!- ' gamating with the people and institutions of the Coun try, which nobody would even have thought that they could get rid of but for this discussion. At the time those words were enac ted the re were no Jews amongst them, and the case w as all the s tronger as they were not any express enactment, but b e cause it was taken u themselves foredm elv ~s grantedas that none but Ch r i s ti ans wou ld eve r offer members of thi s hot -tee. Oise point wlele by s had been much presi e I by the hon. member for Sheffield, and seemed to have weight with many members cf this house, that there was nothing in this declaration which could make Christians of them—(hear, hear)—and that Bolingbroke and others had taken their seats notwith standing. It was not contended that it would make Christians, but to get a profession of that faith which Parliament had thought that a man ought to profess before being allowed to take part in the legislation. That declaration was a homage which down to this period they had been bound to pay to Christianity at the Wile of the house—(bear, hoar)—and being paid they had certainly deterred the bad and encouraged the good, and it warned them that that was the only prin ciele on which they were prepared to legislate. (Hear, hear.) lie wished one topic had been excluded from the debate relative to Roman Catholics—viz., that because there was large numbers of them in this country emanci pation, as it was called, was conceded, and an inference bad been drawn by the right hon. member who used the argument, that what was granted to the many was ! few—(hear, hear) ;—but th a t carr i e d no weight afg %Valpole's) mind, becaused he ca r ed not whether few or many were to be affected by a change ; all he wanted wa s for it to be proved that the thing seas t-- (cheer-) —flr if a tHrf - z r. - t ed t t o o his t h e ( N f l e r w . in itself, then, according to ail principles, the fact of numbers was not an element to be left out of ca'- calation, because by wise legislation regard must be had to the voice of the many, and satisfy them rather than the few, though by this measure they were attempting to satisfy the few out cf doors on the ground of expediency, which was a reason that ought to weigh against their admission rather than for it. He accepted the challenge often given by the noble lord the member for Loudon as to the right of a person belonging to this country to en joy all its privileges, and if he (iir. Walpole) were to be asked fairly to state the case on both sides, he should say that the promoters and supporters of the bill urged as a matter of right that every person prima facie was entitled to claim the privilege, if elected, of siting in Parliarnent—(loud cheers from the supporter)—and that no religious feeling ought to exclude him—(renewed oheere)—or, if it did, it was according to the noble lord's opinion, a species of intollerance and persecution, and to apply the case to Barer, Rothschild was a positive wrong to the constituency of London in depriving them of their representative, and then they elected him, so de priving him of his seat. (Hear.) If they took the side of the opponents of the bill, they found it urged there was no such thing in these matters as positive right. (Cheers from the Opposition.) The right or privilege of legislating was a trust or responsibility imposed on those clothed with it, subject to such qualifications as were previously laid down, as were considered right for the proper discharge of that trust. It was so in all coun tries, from inexperience, women, because they attended to their domestic duties —(loud laughter) —they ex cluded pereona without a certain fortune because they wanted indepsndeuce ; they excluded the clergy because they should cenfine themselves to their pastoral duties ; and they excluded aliens, though naturalized, for two reasons, laid down in Queen Anne's time—viz., partly tecause they owed allegiance to another, and partly because their notions of law, liberty, and religion were different from our oven—(cheers) --it being esecns tial that as our own laws were based on Christianity, no one should have a voice in changing those laws who was not iefleenced by Christian feelings. (Cheere.) It ceine theref, re to this, were there or were there not a right in the Jew to be admitted to parliament—(loud deers)—and if there be such a right it was evident it must b 3 either in the constituency represented, or in the party ►opt esenting it, or partly both. The right of con stituencies was to elect those who were eligible—(hear) —and if London, or any other place elected a person wham-the law declared to be ineligible and lost their re preeeetation, the fa. , ilt was with them, and not whit the house, and they had no one to complain of but them- IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT. HOUSE OF LORDS.--(YESTERDAY.) LAW OF PROPERTY AMENDMENT BILL. Lord ST. LEONARDS, in moving the second read ing of this bill, entered into an explanation of the nature , and objects of the bill, the greater portion of which was wholly inaudible. As to the question of insurance—if the property were not insured, no compensation could be made to the landlord under the present bill ; but if there were any insurance, be proposed to give the land lord the benefit if it—that wa3 a proviso already made in relation to leasehold property by the Metropolis Local Management Bill. With regard to the purchase of leasehold property, the provision of insurance would also operate very beneficially, and give additional value and security to the sales. In allusion to the insecure state of the present law, he observed that he had lived long enough to know better than ever to trust to strangers in such matters. He had app lied to the directors of the Law Life Assurance Company, who had expressed their opinion that the bill woul d not act inju riously to the in• terests of insurance offices. If any objection arose, he should have very great p leasure in listening to any noble lord who should suggest any modification. With respect to judgments, he proposed that,a release of a portion of an estate should net apply to any portion beyond that especially so released. His lordship next made some remarks explan'ttory of the alteration he proposed to make in the law affecting nuisances, which were not sufficiently audible to be intelligible to the reporters. lie proposed to place the law with respect to the execu tion of deeds on the same footing as the law with respect to the execut i on of will. The next question referred t o perpetuities, in connection with which he proposed to take away the power of limit to 21 years. His next point was to prevent the necessity of numerous deeds by enabling a man to assign his property to himself with his trustees. The noble lord proceeded to explain the nature of those clauses of the bill which bad for their object to provide for the validity of wills. The LORD CHANCELLOR said he wished to Fay a word as to the course be intended to pursue in refe rence to this bill. Undoubtedly it was one of very con iierable importance, and the public wonlOe very much indebted to the noble lord for direction his attention to it. Many of the provisions of the bill were of very great importance, and would prove very beneficial, but others were objectionable. Alter the exposition which the noble lord had given their lordships would agree with him that it would be desirable not to discuss the matter in that house, but that it might _be more advantageously and beneficially discussed in committee. He would therefore not oppose the second reading of the bill, but would assist the noble lord in passing it through that stage, hoping that after that it might be referrea to a select cornmitt-e. _ . Lord BROUGHAM was of opinion that that was this right course. There were many parts of the bill which were highly important, but there were others to which some objections might he urged. Lord ST. LEONARDS said he proposed that the bill should stand for committee on Friday next, when he should be prepared to state what course he should adopt. The Earl of DERBY hoped not only with regard to this bill, bat to others of a similar character, they might be referred to select committees. It was impossible sa tisfactorily to discuss bills of a technical character in that honio. The bill was then read a second time, and stood for committal on Friday . THE MAGISTRACY AT YARMOUTH', Lord SONDES presented a petition from the CJnarnon Council of Great Yarmouth complaining of the grie ♦ances of the magistracy of that borough. Lord CRAN WORTH said that the more searching was the inquiry into his conduct the better should be be pleased with it. In the selection of county magistrate., the Lord Chancellor had the advice of the Lord Lieu tenant to guide him, but in borough nominations he was almost without a guide. In all his appointments he kept clear of the parties, and kept the number on each side as eren as possible. In the case of Yarmouth he thought it his duty to act on the same principle. Any inquiry would have his hearty concurrence, and if any noble lord made a motion to that effect, he would second 16. Lord SONDES elpressed his regret that be bad re presented the noble lord to have been connected with Yarmouth, which he now found was not the case. The subject then dropped. CHURCH OF ENGLAND SPECIAL SERVICES BILL. This bill was read a third time and passed. TRUSTEES RELIEF BILL. This bill was read a third time and pa3sed. MARINE MUTINY BILL. This bill was read a second time, and ordered to be committed. MILITIA ACT CONTINUANCE BILL. This bill was read a second time, and ordered to be committed. COMMONS ENCLOSURE BILL. This bill was read a second time, and ordered to be committed. NEGROES FOR MILITARY SERVICE IN INDIA. Lord BROUGHAM. wished to inquire whether it was true that British officers were engaged on the coast of Africa raising regiments of blacks for service in India If it were true, he could not find words suffi ciently strong to denounce such a step. Oa the subject of Flavery our mouths would be closed for ever. Lord HARDINGE was happy to be able to infirm his noble friend that there was no foundation whatever for the report. Earl GRANVILLE was understood to express his satisfaction at the announcement of the noble viscount, bat at the same time had there been the slightest grounds fur the rumour, the matter most fully justified inquiry. The E trl of 'DERBY had never heard of such a re port, and he could not but think that it would have been more c mventeat had his noble and learned friend in quired tato the truth of the story bybre taking public notice of it. Lord BROUGHAM said his noble friend was per fecily right in saying it would have been more con ♦enient if he had given notice of his intention to put a question on the subject before making such a rumour public. However, as the rumour had only just reached him, and as, according to his information, the two officers referred to were to leave England to-morrow morning, it was evident that if he had postponed his in vestigation he might be too late. He must, however, express his entire satisfaction at the denial given to the statement by the noble viscount. Their lordships then adjourned at five minutes past seven. HOUSE OF CO M MONS. -(YESTERDAY.) PRIVATE BUSINESS. The following private bids were read a second time : Mauchester South Junction and Altrincham Rail vay (No. 2) ; South Eastern Railway and Mid-Kent Rail way (Bromley to St. Mary Cray) Companies ; Water , ford and Kilkenny Railway (Power a Purchase, &c ); and Bdrast (Gown and Borough Improvement.) OATHS BILL. On the mot;on that the report be considered, Mr. COCKBURN - , in the absence of Mr. Deasy, moved the omission fro n clause 1 of the fAlowing words: "And I do declare that no foreign prince, preht,e, state, or potentate bath, or ought to have, any jurisdiction, power, superiority, pre-eminence, or authority, ecclesiastical or spiritual, directly or in directly, within this realm. ' He moved the omis sion on the ground that the words were repugnant to Roman Catholic members and unnecessary. Mr. WALPOLE hoped the house would reject the amendment. _ _ Lord J. RUSSELL wished to see one oath for all members in that house, but he saw no possibility of such a change being made at present Mr. COLLINS supported the amendment. Mr. M. GIBSON thought it was best not to ask for too much at a time. He had n ) doubt if they passed the bill they would ultimately give what all de sired. He thought it was enough for them now to emancipate the Jews, and consider the Roman Catholic grievances hereafter. He considered Roman Catholics had the best of swearing in that house—(laughter)—and he should be ready to compromise the three oaths he and Protestants were called upon to take for the .one taken by Roman Catholic members. Protestants were calved on to al.jdra ti,e dt.scel.dants of James the First, though it was well known that none existed ; but the Roman Catholics were relieved of that grievance. Mr. PALK called upon the house not to pass thil bill. In the other house noble bolds refused the admit sion of a member on a life peerage as being contrary to their privileges, and if the House of Commons had the right of seating Baron Rothschild without altering the forms of the oath, why did they fear to exercise that right. It was a waste of time to go on trying to legislate on this subject, and the best course the house could pursue was to seat Baron R , ,thschild by resolution, and so preserve the Christianity of the house. Mr. J. D. FITZGERA.LD said the question now before the house was relative to the oath taken by Roman Catholics, and he called upon the Government to state their views on the motion before the house. Rather than peril the admission of the Jews, be would call on his friends not to support the amendment, but believing that he should be advancing the cause of the Roman Catholics, and not retarding the cause of the Jews, be should support the amendment. Mr. HORSMAN said the form of the oath was ob jectionable to Protestants. How could a Protestant swear that the Pope did not exercise spiritual jurisdiction in Inland ! Why, did not the hon. member for North Warwickshire (Hr. Spooner) declare year after year that the power of the Pope in Ireland was most dangerous. r d_ t r a re : t n power oige_vsehni r (Laughter.)

(Hear, bear.) And that brought him to the conclusion from which he thought the noble lord would not displace him, that no such actualitight existed in constituencies, and then arose the question of the right of the person elected, which be should be told turned on civil and religions liberty. (Hear, hear.) The noble lord the member for London had defined it in his own book to be civil liberty—the liberty of person and pro- perty consistent with the laws of the land—and religious liberty, the fullest and freest power of exercising the re ligious opinion in a way most agreeable to their own consciences provided the irterferenco of those rigttz; did not interfere witii the consciences of others or endanger the public peace—(hear)—trough Lord Lyndhurst had somewhat more extended it to the right of enjoyment and privileges in a country unless there be some perma nent cause to the contrary—(hear)—and the question . . was whether, seeing that all these institutions were based on Christianity, and they had a Christian Queen that was not a permanent cause against the Jew, and it being, as he had stated, both with regard to civil and re ligious liberty, he thought Baron Rothschild ha•l no right to be received within the walls of that house. (Cheers.) That being so, the only question remaining was the ex pediency of altering the laws or not. To that it might be urged that it was cxpadient in order to satisfy and to gratify a most respectable body of men, faithful to , the C4- , ivernment and obedient to the laws, against which might be not the alarm and shock it would give to the religious feelings of the great body of the people, and if it was expedient to respect the scruple of the Jew, was it less expedient to respect the religiousscrnples of their fellow Christians ? (dear, hear.) Rasher than that they should believe that by the exclusion of words n 0 ,7 taken at the table of the house they were making Cnristianity to retreat before them, to satiPfy the objections enter- tained by a few who had no faith - in it. fr.at, probably, was the last time be should have the pain of malting a speech on the subject from that place—(loud laughter)— but he could not refrain from imploring the house against the fatal step of admitting Jews to Parliament. It they did not admit the Jew as now proposed, he hoped they would not have recourse to a conflict in the other house in seating hi;n by resolution, because nothing on earth would allow him to con , ent to their putting _ _ the House of Commons above the House of 1,-)rd;i. He had always been against the admission of the J ews to Parliament, and he hoped heshould never have to speak again on this painful subject, and in cancludin,g his re marks he thought he could not do better than make an observation which would illustrate his meaning better than any arguments he could use. When first the noble lord brought forward his motion relative to the Jews, which was shortly after he (Mr. Walpole) got into Par liament, he took part in the discussion, and at the eon elusion of the debate he was induced to see a Jew of great eminence, and of great ability, and for whom he had the highest respect, and who pointed out for an hour to him (Mr. Walpole) the reasons which he con sidered s ought to influence him in changing his opinion. The reasons were ably urged, but there were two points on which his argnments mainly turned—one was to convince him (Mr. Wakpol ) that his ancestors were not in the Holy Land when the cruci fixion took place, and the other a greater desire to con vince him that if he were in his (Mr. Walpole's) position, he would really do towards him (Mr. Walpole) what he was doing towards the Jew. (Cheers.) With reference to his first argument he (Mr. Walpole) said he was ready to believe him the Jews being scattered over the earth when the crucifixion took place ; but with regard to the other, ha asked him a question that pointed cut to him (Mr. Walpole) in the plainest, clearest, and most distinct manner the reason that appeared to his mind why he should not - consent to the admission of the Jews into Parliament. He (Mr. Walpole) asked the Jew to put himself back three thousand years—(load laughter)—and to suppose they were both living in Pale-tine at the time of the appoint:ment of the judges, the Jew a descendant of Abraham, and he (Mr. Wal pole) a heathen ; and he asked hiM if he would have had him as a judge ; to which, like an honest Jew, he answered "No"—(lord chsers from the opponents of the bill). Such, then, were his reasons for opposing the ad teiseion of Jews to Parliament; and he thought it would be difficult for them to displace him from the po sition he had assumed, especially when he was standing up for what existed from time immemorial in this country, and which the monarchs on our Throne were bound to maintain at the time of the coronation, and which the judges of our land bad laid down as part and parcel of our laws, and on which Lord Hardwicke had said depended the constitution and gsvernment of our country. That house and Parliament had recognised that principle, and however much he might personally respect the integrity of the Jew—esteem his moral qualit es—his patience, endurance, and his ex tensive cbarity, and he was asked to change the whole pel►cy and principles of our institutions he had but one answer, and that was the same as the Jews who told him he would adhere to his nationality, and he (Mr. Walpole) would have the house and the coun try adhere to theirs, and he did so advisedly in the words of the oath, on "the true faith of a Chri-tian." (Hear, hear.) Mr. MAGUIRE said that the Roman Catholics had always shown the greatest sympathy for the Jews. They would rather have had one measure brought in for the Jew, but as the noble lord bad introduced a bill affect ing the oaths applicable to all, and had the Roman Catholics allowed the oath required of them to have passed without comment, they would be told hereafter , of their silence, and it would have been urged against them that they acquiesced in it. He c3ntended that the right hon. gentleman the Home Secretary had laid down an untenable proposition in regard to the right of the citizens of London to return Baron B )thßcbild, see ing that the returning officer could not have refused to return the same as he could an alien, a clergyman, a bankrupt, and so on. The position of the Jew was cer tainly very different to what it was some years since. They could not now take from him his money, his teeth, put him in prison, wad inflict i.tripes on him, but they deprived him of the privilege of eitting in that assembly. An appeal had been made to Christianity, but he con sidered their conduct in reference to the Jew was any thing but in accordance with the precepts of that holy religion, which the Vononrable member for North War wickshire imagined was only to be found on his side of the house. The Roman C-a hol os had always sup ported the noble lord on this question, and would do so now. Mr. ROEBUCK congratulated the house on the dis tinction that had been drawn by the Home Secretary and the honourable member for Nerth Warwickshire, rela tive to the estimation in whic'e they held the Jews of this country. He characterised the oaths as useless to test a man's rtligisn, and instanced the cases of Gibbon and 13 dlingbeoke, who took the oaths con taining the words "on the true faith of a Christian," a hich, he said, went to show that the oath, whilst it did not exclude men of no religion, did - conscientious men and men of religion, and urged it was no test as to the Christian character of the assembly. The real opposition to the bill was based on the word right, and he quite agreed with the right hon. gentleman the Home Secre tary that the Jews had no other rights than those con ferred on them by law ; but yet men who were good fathers arid cit'zsns were excluded from that house be ceuse they did not believe as the right hon. gentleman* believed. (Rear.) Mr WALPOLE—As the country beFeves. Mr. ROEBUCK—As the country believed ; but the Quaker, Roman Catholic, and Presbyterian believed as the e)uetry belieted eel more than the Jew, yet they admitted all the others but excluded the Jew, and he defied the house to say there was universal belief in this country on this subject. The Jew believed a great deal of what they believed, and they believed a great deal of what the Jew believed, and most of their moral precepts were based on the book which the Jew believed it). This was a question of expediency and not religion, as bed been said by the hon. member for East Surrey, and he (Mr. Roebuck) was prepared to maintain that by admit ting Jews to Parliament they would not endanger the legislation of the country. It was idle to talk of tbeChris tianity of that house, and be defied them to prove that because a man took the oath as prescribed by law at that table, he was a Christian. He urged that so long as the Jew fulfilled all the duties of a good citizen he wan entitled to its privileges : and said that if he were a Jew they should not exclude him. He would take the oath repeating the words "on the true faith of a Christian," adding, "this has no effect on me, but as the law requires it, I comply to it, and make the decla ration. (Cheers, and bear, hear.) If the Jow would eny boldly, "1 am a Jew, but I will take the oath," what ought that man to be ashamed of ? The shame should be on the house which rej cted him. If that had been done 10 or 12 years ago, when he recom mended it, they would have heard no more of this matter. Year after year the tide of religious toleration had been rolling on, and he had never seen it turned back. He hoped heviever should. Very soon he hoped we should be what we ought to be, a really tolerant people. Sir R. BETUELL said he had never beard a speech to which he had li,tened with greater pleasure than that of the Home Secretary. Ilis words were bona verba, and heralded the approach of that which they all wished to see, viz., toe close of this lengthened controversy. (Rear.) He haled the speech with gratitude, and he was perfectly sure that those around him would not falsify its excellent effects. (Cheers.) The right hon. gentleman stated that he had given the entire argument against the Jew as pervaded upon the nature of the oath, and be admitted that the Jew was never within the intention of the legislation to observe the oath, and therefore the Jew was deprived of his birthright by a fraudulent interpretation of the law. (Rear.) Nothing could show greater moral impiety than thus to pervert the law to a purpose fix which it was never intended. He hid the authority of the judges for saying that the oath was never meant to apply to the Jew, and that therefore be ought never to have been brought under i provisions. The right hon. gentleman had urged that the oath was necessary in order to bring men in accord ance with the institutions of the country ; but what in stitutione were there, except Parliament, to which the Jews were not eligible ? Civil and religious liberty he was entitled to, and the only thing he was ( xeladed from was political liberty. He (Sir R. Bethel') differed from the hon. memb er f or Sh e ffi e ld th a t men had no right to politica, liberty, fr • it was only the fag end el this miserable oath that deprived him of it. But the right hen. gentleman (Mr. Walpole) committed another very serious ell-or in his arguments. He (Sir R. Betlieli) admitted that any disqualitleatione might be imposed which legislation required, but he contended that all should be treated alike, and the diequalificetiors should be imposed upon general principles. (Hear.) To the Jews this was a fraudulent application of the portion of the statute. A Jew was ' capable of being elected, but he could not take his seat. That was surely an anomaly from which the legislature was called upon to emancipate itself. If this bill should again be rejected elsewhere he (Sir R. Bethel') pledged himself to move a resolution similar to that proposed by the right hon. gentleman the member for Droitwich (Sir J. Pakington) in committee last August, that, io the upinien of the committee, the words of atotions 8,5, and 6 William IV., c. 6, should be included. The House from preaching.
