In vesti;ations bad been made into the statement, but it had been found to be unfounded. He declined to:state where Burke now was. He had no doubt Burke was proteclel by the police till he left Ireland. SIBES DRAWING CHECKS. _ Mr. CAIRD asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer whether drafts or orders on bankers in the form of " Debit my account 101.,' or " Pay myself 10/.," but not including the words " Bearer on demand," might be drawn at and paid over the bank counter without a penny stamp ; and whether, notwithstanding the recent act, such unstamped checks were legal ? The CHANCELLOR of the EX.OIiEQ I JER said drafts or orders to drawers were liable to the stamp, except where they were drawn by the person and paid to him at the same time over the counter. BOARDING AMERICAN VESSELS. Mr. LINDSAY asked the Under-Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs if it wai the case that merchant ves sels belonging to the United States, engaged in the trade with Havannah, or the West Coast of Africa, bad been fired into, boarded, searched, and detained by British cruises ; and, if so, by what authority, or under whose instructions the commanders of these ships had so acted. Mr. S. FITZGERALD said t;.:e Government had re ceived no offici.l knowledge of such circumstances hav ing taken place. A statement had bet) forwarded to her Majesty's Government by their repre.sentative at Washington, ti.keu from a New Orieans newspaper, but DO Lificial communication had been made by him to her Majesty's Government. They were anxious to pre vent such occurrences, but the difficulty arose from actual slavers hoisting the American colours. Her Majesty's Government was anxious to prevent such occurrences. Orders. had been sent by former Boards of Admiralty, to our cruisers off the American coast, to use the greatest caution in these matters, and these in structions would be ca-t.ful y repeated by her Ma jesty's present Government, without loss of time. THE lONIAN ISLANDS. In reply to a question from Gen. ConftirtuoN relative to the payment of 1,5001. and 8001., Gen. PEEL said that the above sums formed no part of the 20,0001. paid to this country by - the lonian Islands. IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT. HOUSE OF LOttllS.,-..-(YESTERDAY.) OAT as BILL. u. E of DERLY wished their lurclehip I would cerne to au misieretendiug as to what question they were to decide, or he was afraid they would get into a state of endless confusion, and the real question would escape being brought to a satisfactory issue. His noble and gallant friend who moved the resolutions before their lordships said he did so without any previous consulta tion with his political friends ; and he could confirm that statement, for no one was more taken by surprise than he was when, on the last day of sitting before the recess, his noble and gallant friend gave notice that he should move an amendment. The amendment, as it bad been proposed, introduced a novel and important principle, and one which, if intended should be di-cussed, would be far better discussed with more deliberation, longer previous nutice,and more consideration than could pos sibly be obtained on that occasion. Probably many of their lordships bad not the slightest notion of the nature and character of the proposition until the close of the re cess, and yet it was a proposition on which in a constitu tional sense every member of their lordships' house ought to have had the fullest opportunity of making up his mind beforehand. (Hear.) With regard to the reasons which had been relied upon for calling upon their lordships not to insist upon their amendment to the bill, be could hardly think that any of their lordships who had listened on various occasions to the able argument, the vigorous and vivid elequeece, and had witnessed the manifest sin cerity of his noble and learned friend behind him (Lord Lyndhurst) upon whose mental powers advancing years appeared to produce no weakening effect, would be much influenced by these reasons cf the Commons. Those of their lordships who had had the pleasure and advantage of hearing the clear and elegantly expressed argument of the noble and learned lord would hardly be induced to change their original decision by the dry bones and skeleton of the Commons' reasons. It was, however, no disparagement to the House of Commons if the form in which their reasons were contained presented no peculiar novel, or a tractive feature to the minds of their lordships —there was nothing, in fact, in them which bad not been over and over again advanced in the course of argu ment in their lordships' house, or which was not by this time tbororghly stereotyped upon their lordships minds. Perhaps the lase reason partook somewhat cf novelty, and Would have the most force with their lord ships, because if the rate& of their lordships' amendment ' was to impose any fresh disabilities on persons of the Jewish per: uasion beyond those already inexistence, be was sure it was not the wish of their lordships that such additional disabilities should be imposed. We bad not, however, been striven yet, that such a result would fol low their lordships' amendment ; certainly, no case had yet been cited where such a result would arise, while his noble aed learned friend on the woolsack, who had di rected his especial attention to the point, bad come to the conclusion that no such result would be the cense queece cf the bill passing in its present shape. But, for his own part, he was the more confirmed in that belief by the simple circumstaece that while his noble and learned friend who had charge of the bill was urging the impolicy of omitting the fifth clause, he never bitted at such a re- I suit ; if he bad thought ,such would be the consequence of the omission, he would not have omitted to use so power ful an argument, but throughout the entire discussion he did not breathe a single word that the effect of striking out the fifth clause would be to impose new restrictions on the Jews. Nevertheless, if his noble and learned friend, or if any other of their lordships, could show that such a res:riction as that suggested by the Commons really would be imposed by the omission of the fifth clause, he was perfectly ready to concur in the adoption of the first part of his noble and learned friend's resolu tion, which was intended to cure this defect. He was not about to argue this wearisome case over again, but at the same ti ue ha must jina draw I heir lordsbipe' atten tion to what were the grounds upon which the Commons asked them to accede to the re insertion of the fifth clause. The reason was—"Bscau e the. words 'on the true faith of a Cerietian' were originally introduced in the oaths to be taken by members of Parliament with a view to bind certain Roman Catholics, and were not intended for the purpose of excluding pe:sons of the Jewish persuasion." ' The answer to that was : true, the words were not in troduced for the purpose of excluding the Jew, because at the time they were introduced there were miler re strictions that (alluded the Jew, but since then the legislature bad been uniform in its determination to re tain these words. The second reason embraced a topic that had been over and over again di-cussed in their lord ships' house. It was this—" Because the exclusion of British subjects from seats in Parliament and offices in the State, en the ground of their religious opinions, is contrary to the general maxims of freedom of conscience." Again the answer to this was not new. Civil rights, at taching to persons or proeery, belonged to the indivi dual, but tee privilege of sitting in Parliament or holding offices in the State was not a mat - er ef right attaching to the individual, but within the power of the Legible' ore, and the Legislature had, therefore, the right to impose such restrictions upon which only they should be enj eyed. Passing over the other reasons, which to some extent presented contradictions or conflicting views on the part of the Legislature which it was not his province to recon cile, he cause to the reason which asserted that the right of the electors of the United Kingdom hove bsen peculiarly affected by a law which has been constrsed to prevent the admission te the House of Commons of persons who ' have been lawfully returned as members of that house. He, had a right to demur to the terms in which this rea son was couched, t,a . the answer to it was equally sim ple as that which could be advanced against the other reasons. The same argument applied to all other dieque -I,fications imposed by the act of the Legislature, such as that neither aliens nor minors could be elected, or per sons not bald: g a preperty qualification. So much for the reasons, one of welch dwelt upon the increasing ma jorities in the House of Ceinmous which bad decided in favour of this measure; and it vas the fear of coming into collision with these majorities which appears to have influenced one of their lordship; in advocating a re versal of their former decision. Well, he was as sensible as any of their lordships of the inconvenience, not to say danger, which would result from a long-continued differ ence of opinion between the taco houses, and he did not hesitate to say that it would afford him infinite satisfac tion it, on this question, without any sacrifice of princi ple, there was a possibility cf coming to any reasonable compromise with the House cf Commons. " But," said the noble lsrd, " if you do not give way in this cage, I see another difference looming in the dietance." Now, he must say that was rather a dangerous argument. Ha was ready to admit the inconvenience arising from the present state of things, and if he could see any made of release he should be rejoiced, but under any circum stances he trusted the House of Commons would never be so forgetful of what it owed to the coestitutien of the country as to aeree to such an unwarrantable proceedirg as the admission of Jews without the consent cf the united Parliament. Such a course would lead to colli sions, not with that house, but to most painful ones with the courts of law, and whatever the result the conse quinces must be moat peraidous to the country. 'rile question then arose of whether there was any solution of the difficulty. His noble and gallant friend bad brought forward aresolution which, although open to grave objec tions, was not one which he should advise their lordships absolutely to reject, but which still was one that required the gravest consideration, and could not be introduced as a mere amendment in a bill. He was not piepared to say that the resolution was unconstitutional, but still, before they adopted it they must carefully consider the precedente. It might be a possible solution of the difficulty. He did not say, reject it; but the limits within which it could be entertained should be carefully considered, and however closely considered, they could not shut their eyes to the danger of the precedent of en abling each house to legislate for itself. (Hear. His noble friend said that, to a great extent, it bad been proved that it wos competent for either house to adroit persons—be did Lot see that it should be confined to Jews—on making a declaration. He did not pledge himself to support that opinion, but Hail he thought that a great deal might be said in favour of it. (Hear.) But his noble friend's amendment went further, and gave permission to alter oaths as might be deemed expedient. He was not prepared to adopt that principle, and there fora should vote against the last part of the amendment, while he agreed to the first, and reserving to himself full leisure for considering whether any compromise could be adopted calculated to remove this unfortunate cause of difference from between the two houses of parliament. Earl STANHOPE explained. Earl GREY was surprised that the not le earl had not advised their lordships to adopt the reasonable proposi tion which had been made for settling this painful ques tion. He thought, however, that there was much force in the suggestion that further thee should be given for consideration, and he would therefore move that the further consideration of the objection of the House of Commons be deferred for a fortnight, in order that their lordships might see whether the suggestion of the noble earl opposite might not be embodied in a separate bill to be prepared for the purpose. The Earl of DERBY did not think that that course could be adopted in such a way as to meet the objection of the House of Commons. Earl GREY thought his suggestion would be consi dered conciliatory by the House of Commons. The Earl of ELLESMERE was understood to sup port this suggestion. The Duke of NEWCASTLE would urge the noble earl at the head of the Government to adopt the suggestion which had been made by Earl Grey. Lord CAMPBELL earn e stly implored the no ble to adept any suggestion which would prevent acol_ la w. lision between the House of Commons and the cour ts earl owoufldbe If that collision took peace, the public peac jeopardised, and no one could foresee what the it be should the end of it would be. Of course, he would not say that, be placed in the painful position which be contemplated, he should fearlessly do his duty. Lord LYNDHURST was quite ready to adopt the s uggestion of the noble earl , as ever y step ,they took upon this important rula:act sbould be conciliatory. Lord BBOUGEIAivI advocated a course of concilia tion, and hoped the suggestion for further consideraticn would be adopted. Tne Duke of RUTLAND said they were tampering with the constitution of the country, and he hoped the house would grand firm in their opposition to the amend ment of the not le and genera earl. The Earl of MALMESBURY said the moment the Government was formed, his-noble friend at the head of the Government gave every member of the Government permission to entsr'ain any opinion he p!sased upon this subject. (He (the Earl of Malmesbury) therefore was in . a position to express a perfectly independent opinion. 1 His conviction was, that sooner or later the question would be act led by the admission of Jews to Parliament, although be adhersd to the opinion which he bad always expressed upon this subject.

Earl GRANVILLE Said it would no doubt be in recollection that in the debate on the Oude pro clamation, the noble earl at the bead of her Ma jes'y's Government expressed with great warmth his respect for L'rd Canning. Their lordships were doubtless aware that, at the end of a protracted debate in another place, the Chancellor of the Exchequer, amidst loud cheers, made the announcement that a telegraphic de spatch had been sent to L erd Canning expresing that, in the present state of difficulties', he would receive the support of the Gevernment. Language had also been used during the debate by other members of the Govern ment, though not members of the Cabinet, which created the impression that Lord Canning would not receive much support, lie might complain of the language of the Chancellor of the Exchequer in a post-prandial speech, which would form the subject of discussion that evening; but he congratulated the noble earl on the choice he had made in the successor to the noble earl who had lately retired from ' the Board of Control, (hear, hear.) Ile (Earl Graevllle) thought it but lair, if such promises of support to Lord Canning bad bean despatched it should at least be made public. It would be of the greatest importance that such an intimation was made known in India. The question which he wished to ask was whether there would he any objection'to produce the communication alluded to by the Chancellor of the Exchequer, and also whether there would be any dejec tion to produce at the same time copies of the votes of confidence aereed to by the Court of Directors of the East India Company on the policy of Lord Canning I The Earl of DERBY said, with regard to the tendered support of the Government to Lord Canning, it had not been offered for the first time on the occasion spoken to by the noble earl.' If the noble earl would refer to the despatch sent to India on the 24th March, he would find it lard down distinctly that in the event of Lord Can ning pursuing the course of policy ':ben entered upon, he should receive the support of her Majesty's Govern enent. (hear, hear, hear.) The peoclamationof Lord Canning was disapproved of by the Government because it was thought to be in oppositio❑ to his former pol oy. The only communication whict: had taken place with reference to the promised support of the Goier,ment was contained in a telegraphic mes sage which he (Lord Derby) had despatched as a per sonal communication, on the resignation cf the noble earl' (Earl of Ellenborougb), which was sent off on the 12th, to overtake the mail of the 10th of last month. As the communication was of a private character, be did not think it would be pos sible to lay it before their lordships, but with respect to the production of the votes of confidence of the C airt of Directors to Lord Canning be bad not the slightest objection, and that document had been laid on the table of the other house last night. SECOND READING. On the motion of Lord REDESDALE the f )113wing bills wera read a second time :--Stearnes Charities, MaPstone Gas ; Eirl of Fife's Estate ; Manchester, Hyde, and Motteram Roads; Metropolitan Board of Work 4 ; Liverpool Approaches ; 33asselsleigh Road, and Ware, Hadham, and Buntinford Railway. THIRD READINGS. On the motion of the same noble lord, the following Ells were read a third time and passed :—Vauxhall bridge Road, Staffordshire Potteries Gag, Sufferance Wharves, Stoke Fenton and Longton Gas. THE EARLDOM OF SHREWSBURY. Lord REDESDALE brought up the report of the Committee of Privilegee, who had come to :he conclu sion ;that Henry John Chetwill, Earl of Talbot, had made out his title to the Earldom of Shrewsbury. (Hear, hear.) Lord CAMPBELL said he entirely agreed with the result the committee had arrived at. (Hear, hear.) The report was ordered to Wield up n the table. MR. DISRAELI'S SPEECH. The Earl of CLARENDON then rose to call the at tention cf the hou3e to a speech recently delivered by the Chancellor of the Exchequer at Slough. [LEFT SPE KIN G.] HOUSE OF COMPIIONS—(This Evening•) The SPEAKER took the chair at four o'clock. PRIVATE BUSINESS. The following bills were read a third time and passed : —Ayr and Dalmellington Railway ; Birkenhead Im provement Commissioners (Bondholders' Arrangement 4); Cromford and High Peak Railway ; East Kent Rail way (Dover Extension) ; Manchester Corporation Water; Manchester, Sheffield, and Lincolnshire Rail way (Newton to Compstall) ; Newport, Abargavenny, and Herd Id Railway ; and Tramore Embankment. MANCHESTER, SHEFFIELD, AND LINCOLN SHIRE AND GREAT NORTHERN RAILWAY BILL. Mr. SPOONER. moved that: the minutes of the pro ceeding-4 of the eJminittee on the Manchester, Sheffield, and Lincolnshire and Great Northern Railway Com panies Bill, in Group 8 of Railway and Canal Bilis, be printed, at the expense of the parties applying for the same, and distributed with the votes ; that the minutes of the evidence taken before the said committee be laid before this house.—Agreed to. The South Devon and Tavistock Railway Bill was further considered and ordered to be read a third time. CHURCH OF ENGLAND SPECIAL SERVICES BILL. Mr. DEEDES moved that the order of the day for the second reading of the Church of England Special Services W 1 b 3 read, for the purpose of being dis charged. (Rear, hear.)—Agreed to. Mr. DEEDES then moved that the bill be withdrawn. —Agreed to. HAINAULT FOREST. Mr. CAIRD gave notice that, ou this day month, he should call the attention of the house to the expendi ture that had been incurred by. the Woods and Forests, in reference to Hainanit Forest. THE ISLAND OF JERSEY. Mr. HADFIELD asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department whether it was the intention of her Majesty's Government to carry out the recommen dations of the commissioners, appointed in 1846, for the reform of the criminal laws of the island of Jersey, and to abolish the Royal Court in that islanj, which the said commissioners, in said year, declared not to be deserving of public confidence : Whethfr it was their intention to issue a commission of in quiry into the civil laws of Jersey and the mode of ad ministering them, in accordance with the declared inten tion and promise of Government in the year 1845, by the then Horne Secretary; or whether it was their in tention to take any measures forassimilatiog the laws of Jersey to the laws of England ? Mr. WALPOLE said the attention of the Secretary of State had been, and always would be, called to many great and grievous defects in the law a JtrLey, and steps would be taken for their improvement. An order in council had failed to enforce the recommendation of the clmmissiontre, and the only way in which it could b.., done would be by an act of Parliament, which, in all probabilty, would be to bring the hou,s into co:lision with the states of Jersey, which was not desiraLle. STAMPS ON CHEQUES. Mr. NICOLL, asked the Chancell7)r of Exchequer if his attention bad been directed to the commercial in• convenience likely to be caused by bankers refusing to honpur cht ques when drawers had omitted to write their initials on adhesive stamps, but which were otherwise cancelled, sufficiently to accord with the intention of the act, and if it was contemplated to enable persons who had BREACH OF PRIVILEGE. Mr. M. GIBSON moved that the order for the dis , charge of Mr. W. Wilkes should be read.—Agreed to. Mr. GIBSON then moved that Mr. W. Wilkes should be discharged. By his petition to that house, he bad withdrawn the particular imputation cf corrupt motives against Mr. Clive, for which he was committed to the custody f the Sergeant-at-A rms. He therefore moved that Mr. Wilkes sts uld be discharged on payment of the usual fees, Mr. ROEBUCK contended that Mr. Wilkie did not by his petition eithdrave the general charge of corrup tion against the committee in question, and in which the honour of that house was concerned. Until Mr. Wilkes made a lull retractation, he (Mr. Ruelencli) should oppose his discharge from the custody of the sergeant at-arms. (Hear, hear.) Mr. CLAY also urged that Mr. W. Wilkes should not be discharged until be bad made a full retractation of the charges at the bar of the house. The SOLICITORGENEaAL thought the house was not in a position to arrive at the conclusion asked of them by the right bon. gentleman the member for Ashton-nrder-Lyrae. Befere Mr. W. Wilkes was dis charged, he (the Solicitor-General) considered he ought to Le called upon to make a full retractation of the charges contained in the article in question. He there fore moved as an amendment that the consideraion of Mr. W. Wilkes's petition be discharged. (Hear.) Mr. KNATCHB ULL- HUG HESSEN suggested that Mr. W. Wilkes should be oiled to the bar of the house, and asked if be retracted fully the charges contained in the art ice, and if not, the house would then know how to deal with hire. Mr. M. GIBSON said there couli be no doubt Mr. W. Wilkes ititeuded to withdraw any charge of corruption against Mr. Clive. He contended that this was a partiality, and not of corrup tion ; and if the hocse were to send to Newgate every editor of a news.pap:x who charged hon. members with paitiali.y they would soon not have a prison large enough to hold their. (Rear, and laughter.) This was not an offence of suEcient grarity for Mr. Wilkes to bs seat to Newgate. It also partook of the character of partizanship. (Hear, bear) He (Hr. Gibson) bad lately been charged of partisanship in supparting Lord Derby's Government—(bear, hear, and 1 au a g newspaper fir r should such a notchtahrigne. H think of e n a o n editor ob j e. of don to Mr. Wilkes being called to the bar of the house, and asked if he retracted or not the whole of the article in gales ion. Mr. BOUVEME supported the amendment of the Solicitor. General. Mr. ROEBUCK, whilst expressing hit contempt for anything, the press might say of him, nrg d that the gravity cf the offence charged against Mr. \Vilkc was such that he ought not to be discharged ‘N i; bout making a full retractation of the:chlrges containedilin the article in question. GLADSTONE drew a distinction between cor rupt partisanship and partisanship. It was eften their pleasure to read attacks in the press on their partisan ship—(laughter)—which no doubt were open to adieus in a coui t of law, but hon, gentlemen, instead of taking th at course wero content to rest on the general f ee li ng cf, tho people against such attacks. He admitted it was necessary the press should have great powers (but they ought to be guarded), in order to protect the rights and liberties of the people, and he cautioned th e house how they proceeded in such cases as this, where the charge of corrupt motives had been withdrawn. The Solicitor-Geteral's amendment was carried, and the matter stands over. [LEFT SITTING.] LONDON GAZETTE.—(This Evening.) • FOREIGN. -- IGN.OFFICE, MAY 29.

The ability of this Review is generally unques tioned, and when it will consent to let theological, controversial, and similar subje3t3 alone, it affords pleasant reading. The present number is a favour able specimen. With the exception of the opening paper, with the formidable title of " The Religion of Positivism," all the topics are those which interest the general reader, and are suitable fcr the perusal of those who desire an hom's literary refreshment, instead of an introduction to the hopeless labyrinth of German mysticism and psychology. " The Bos cohel Tracts," "Our Relation to the Princes of India," " Party Government," and " Melical Reform" are among the chief topics, offering at tractions to the historian and the politician, while the literary reader will find, in addition to the general survey of contemporary literature, an article on the recent recolle,,tions of Shelley and ron. The Journal of Psychological Medicine and Mental Pathology. No. X. John Churchill. This quarterly, though on a painful subject, be ing chiefly devoted to the consideration of the treatment of insanity, is one of great practical value and interest to those in any way connected with the management of the insane. The psycho logist, too, who studies to trace the various peca Rarities in the development of the mental powers, how much they are affected by locality, education, individual circumstances, and hereditary quilities, will find many subjects for consideration, and many suggestive facts recorded in its pages. The num ber before us has an extended notice of Mr. Buc kle's valuable work on Civilisation, admiring his research and ability, but censuring his philosophy, as most conscientious and thoughtful readers would do. The legal doctrine of responsibility, in cases of insanity, treats of a very important question. Another paper treats of Insanity and Luna tic Asylums in Norway, and gives an account of the various institutions in that country. It has been said by travellers that the proportion of idiocy in the-Norwegian population is large, owing to the extremely isolated existence led by many of the country villagers. "Charlotte Brunte, a psycho logical study," is the title ®f an essay that will, no doubt., attract many readers'. It does not, however, suggest much that is original, but is little more than a record of her malancho!y career. A paper entitled r Pnysioloaic a Psychology," is continued, and a lecture by Robert Jamieson, M.D., on "Mind and Body," is somewhat abstruse in elm ' raster, but displays considerable powers of reflec. tion and analysis. Th 4 Law Magazine and Law Review. May, 1858. Butter worths. This valuable and important periodical maintains its character, and discusses all subjects connected with the reform and advancement of the law with ability, authority, and experience. A memoir of the late Sir Willi am Maule is given; it takes a review of his eminent career, paying him the tribute of cordial admiration. A paper on the Admiralty Court commends itself to the attention of those iu power, suggesting the reforms required in the last survivor of the COM ti of Doctoro' Commons. Mr. Macknight's recent life of E Imund Burke. receives a long and favourable notice. Orie of the most re markable features in the present number is the pub lication of the papers of the Society for promoting tLe amendment of the law. We are inf3rmed that by an arrangement made with that society, all their reports and papers will in future be published solely in this quarterly. The Selection of Adjudged points in the Court of Chancery must be a very useful referee for all concerned in law cases, whether clients or practitioners. There are several other articles of ability, and all legal intelligence of any import ance is given in full. LLOYD'S SHIPPING.—(This Day.)

He thought the house ought to record their own opinions, whilst they consented to some I sort of cn±u mi-o: The ho'lise shiitild . fiist decide whe ther they rzuold acoode to the amendment or not. (Hear.) He hoped a reasonable compromise would be proposed on one side or the other in the shape of a bill. This would be the most straightforward and honest course, and he hoped, therefore, that the motion for the adjourn ment would be withdraws. (Hear.) Earl GRANVILLE felt considerable gratification at the conciliatory tone adopted on the other side of the house. (Hear, hear.) If the adjournment of the debate took place fora fortnight, the position of their lordships would not be prejudiced, and by taking that course time would be afforded for some arrangement. By dealing a hostile blow now, the House of Commons might be led to retaliate. (Hear, hear.) Earl PO WIS added his appeal in favour of adjourning the debate. The Earl of LUCAN" hoped that some peer possessing more influence would introduce a bill embodying the spirit of the amendment, which be was willing to with draw for the present. Tne Earl of DERBY feared that by acceding to the adi)ernment of this question, the motives with which it was done would be mistaken. By delaying the consi deration of the subject it would be embarrassed. The principle on which the house acted' would be waived if the amendments they had made in the bill were aban doned. The best consideration he had been able to give to this question, which had been rather unexpectedly raised, id him to the belief that the house would be sacrificing their opinions if they did not insist on the amendment. At the same time an intimation could be given that their lordships would be ready to give a dis passionate consideration to any bill which might be in troduced hereafter. (Hear, hear.) Their lordships then divided — Contents—for the adjournment 68 Non-contEnts 80 Mejority —l2 The Earl of LUCAN hereupon said he believed the general feeling was to proceed by bill, and he now with drew the amendment. • Lord LYNDHURST rose to move that the house would not insist on their amendment to the bill. It was clear that in consistency the House of Commons could not agree to the amendment which placed the Jaws in a mere unfavourable position than they now were. (Hear, hear.) The bill, as it now stood, was the first overt act of the Legislature excluding the Jews. At present they were only excluded by the misapplication and miaappre , hension of a particular clause in an Act of Parliament never intended to apply to the Jews. (Hear.) The ab surdity of attempting to fix this act upon the Jews was patent, as might be seen by a reference to the act sup posed to exclude them. The act empowered two jus tices of the peace to compel a man to take the oath of abjuration, and if he refused he was to be adjudged the prna'ty a taching to a " Popish recusant." (Latghter.) So that a Jew was to be turned into a Christian a Catholic Christian —.first and a Protestant Christian afterwards. (Hear, hear.) The House of Commons would have stultified itself if it had adopted the amendment. If this bill was rejected, it would be necessary to revert tothe oath of abjuration —an oath repugnant to many persons. To abjure the descendar.ti of the Pretender was a solemn mockery— (hear)—and those who eontinued that oath were guilty of such mockery. (Hear, hear.) But what was the present position of this question ? A member of the Jewish persuasion has been three times elected to the House of Commons. That individual could vote for a Speaker, sit upon a committee, be its chairman, and perhaps, by his casting vote, decide some important question. A Jew might be a barrister And argue before their lordships— he might presot.t a petition at their bar. The oaths of allegiance, supremacy, and abjuration, this gentleman was ready to take mu the manner most bind ing to his conscience ; but this amendment insisted that he should take those oaths in a form not binding on bin conscience. How was it possible that this monstrous absurdity could be continued i The House of Commons Lad repeatedly asked the house to yield the point, and be believed that a general anxiety existed to put an end to the present anomaly. Iu any matters affeetingtlae con stituencies, re pular rights, and civd and religious liberty, it behoved their lordships to rest their opposition on reason and justice. Did their lordships think they were safe in resisting this appeal ? Upon a question of this kind their lordships ought not to rely simply on reason and authority, but should seek the cooperation tf the people. That people were represented by the House of o)mmions. Five successive Parliaments, by increasing majoriti, s, had reaffirmed the will of the people in this respect. As to compromising their dig city in yielding., let it be remembered that the House of Commons could also stand upon that ground. Foreign ers wondered how three independent bodies, forming the legi,lature, could work harmoniously—a very natural sentiment ; hut-the 13,glish people were trained to con ciliation, and to mutual concessions, hence the harmo nious working of the State machine. (Hear.) Some persons were of opinion that " toleration" was all that was required. This was a very narrow .view of the subject, and had never been accepted by the friends of civil and religious liberty. It was " persecution" to shut out men from the opportunities of fair distinction. He had recently read a speech delivered in the House of Commons 30 years ago, in favour of Jewish emancipa tion, by an orator new a member of their lordships' house (Gerd Macaulay). Would that the powerful and felicitous advocacy of that noble lord could now be ac tively enlisted in favour of the emancipation of ;he Jews: (Hear.) The noble and learned lord moved that their lordships do rot insist upon their amendment in the bill. The LORD CHANCELLOR said that not only legal ability but personal interest had entered into the framing of the Commons' " reasons." If they meant to melee an impression on their lordships and produce an extr,orclinary effsot, their lordships certainly had re ceived them with in st provoking coolness. The reasons astigned by the House c f Commons began with no rea son, but a fact in reference to the words " on the true Lath of a Chrhtian," and which had been conceded over and over again. The words were never intended to apply to Jews, but whilst accepting that concession the House of Commons forget that there was a declaration follow ing the taking of the oath, that all members of Parlia ment should be Christians. The House of Commons said the exclusion of persons from Parliament or office was a violation of the maxim of freedom of conscience, but he was at a loss to understand what was meant in this in stance by the maxim of freedom of conscience, and the cx.ression in another of the reasons that the Jews should not be deprived of their fair share of legislative power. Persons were entitled in a free country to all civil rights, but not to political rights, unless granted to them by the community, and not as a matter of course. The icflic- Con of disabilities on persons on account of their religion was persecution, but in the case of the Jew he was not ex , :livled en the ground of his faith, but from his bosti -I,ty to the principles on which the Government was esta blished. The noble and learned lord, after critically en &mining other portions cf the resolution, said if their lord hips gave way in this instance on the ground that the bill had been repeatedly passed in the House of Com mons by large majorities, their lordships would have to do the same in the case of church rates and marriage with a deceased inter ; whereas, as was well known to their lordships, the large majority of the people were against these measures. There had been no decided ex pression of feeling by the majority of the people in favour of the admission of the Jews to Parliament; and were the question to be put to them, he thought that the apathy of the people would change to hostility, and the majority of the people would be found to be against the measure. He felt rather relieved when he found such a result of the united wisdom of the House of Commons, as these reasons, which, in reality, furnished none for their lordships departing from the resolution of a pre vious night. Earl GRANVILLE asked the noble lord if he in tended to divide on the question again that night, because be (Lord Granville) thought the division that had already been taken that night bad virtually decided the criettion, and he congratulated their lordships on the ad vance the question had that night made in their lord ships' house. After what had transpired, he suggested the noble lcrd (Lord Lyndhurst) should turn his atten tion with the Government to the question, and produce a measure that would set this question at rest for ever. If not, he (Earl Granville) should'vots for the resolution. Lord BROUGHAM joined his noble friend in urging the suggestion on the noble lord. LorJ LYNDHURST—I accept it with the hope of support from her Majesty's Government. Their lordships' amendments were then agreed to without a division. THIRD READINGS.

Lord CLARENDON gave notice of his intention to call the attention of their lordships to-morrow to a speech recently delivered by the Chancellor of the Exchequer to his constituents at Slough. He intended to have called attention to it that night, but in consequence of the late ness of the hour he postponed it till to-morrow. His reason for calling atteni ion to that speech was, that the right hon. gentleman had made some remarks, especially affecting the department over which be (Lord Claren don) lately had the honour to preside, and which he con. eidered impugned a statement of his, as quoted by the noble lord the member for Tiverton. (Hear, hear.) Lord DERBY was glad the noble earl had given notice of his intention, because he would take the oppor tunity of reading the speech referred to. (Laughter.) Their lordships 'then adjourned at a quarter to ten o'clock. HOUSE OF COMMONS..-(YESTERDAY.) THE CAGLIARI. INfr.
