(ftivnin4 AtIA/6 LONDON, SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 12, 1848. A majority of seventy-three j in a House of 486 last evening brought the Jewish Disabilities Bill through the ordeal of a second reading. Although we could have desired a more unanimous pronuncia. tion in favour of the measure on the part of the popular representatives, we are satisfied with the numerical superiority of its supporters, because the majority already mentioned is sufficiently remarkable to be decisive as to the ultimate emancipation of the Israelites. Even to the most sanguine disentients there can be no longer any doubt whatever in refe rence to the fate of the question recently agitated at Westminster. Not only is there a conspicuous numerical preponderance in favour of the views advocated by the Prime Minister, but we would especially direct attention to a circumstance of a very peculiar significance—a circumstance more persuasiv e than the most eloquent adjurations of DISRAELI or of SHELL—namely, that all the in telligence of the House of Commons is on the side of Lord JOHN Russam. ; and that among the sup porters of the project for the admission of Jews to Parliament are numbered all the most important Members of that renowned and illustrious senate. rf n e division list of last evening is of itself sufficient to attest the rationality of the present movement of religious toleration. Foremost among those who have declared themselves for the erasur e o f the oL.4 truc ti ve phrase from the Oathof Abjuration — foremost among tor u i et not merely in being force of argument told and splendour of rhetoric —are g out into the lobby, h them, are the principal le a d ers of what by the undiscerning are termed the different parties in the Legislature. Lord JOHN RBSSELL, a s the leader of a Liberal- Gove rn ment, has secured to himself the glory of introducing the measure to the British Parliament. Sir ROBERT PEEL, as the leader, or rather the creator, of his political phalanx, has accorded the Bill his most cordial and p owerful support. Lord GEORGE BENTINCE, . the • little wrangling, squabbling, and awl as the lader of mobious squad of Protectionists, has de clare-d himself so explicitly in favour of the Ministerial scheme for the liberation oF,the Hebrew race in England, that he has been sum-iarily cashiered by the gentlemen of the country faction, and his sceptre has been suddenly transferred to the rather dubious grasp of the Most Noble the Marquis of GRANBY. There is enumerated, in short, in the upper list of the division almost every name that genius, skill, or i ntelligence has recorded in 'brilliant characters upon the pages of Hansard. Arciong the opponents of the innovation the most priim;nent quality appears to be that of a respectable mediocrity. The Baron LIONEL DE ROTHSCUILD, as the first TEX NUN', LONDON ) SATVRD.etY EVONING, Israelite admitted to the Parliament of the United Kingdom, will be more fortunately circumstanced than either Mr. PEASE as the first Quaker, or Mr. O'CON• NELL, as the first Roman Catholic. The representative of London will have all obstacles smoothed down before him by the pressure of Reason; he will be ushered into the presence of the Speaker by all the most remarkable statesmen of his age—whereas the representative of South Durham crept into the House of Commons, through the leniency of the law by which it was provided that Quakers and Mora vians (and subsequently the sect called Separatists) could legally make a simple affirmation equivalent in their cases to the solemn oath of another; and whereas also the representative of Clare was only able to force his way into the Lower House of the Legis lature by a struggle such as would have proved too tremendous for one less inspired for the occasion by matchless eloquence and surpassing audacity. The speech delivered yesterday evening by Sir ROBERT PEEL is, perhaps, the most cogent and perfectly unanswerable argument in favour of the measure as yet delivered. Its calmness amounts to an inimitable placidity, and its deliberateness disarms the passion even of Bigotry Incarnate. No one will be disposed to charge the Right Hon. Baronet with indifference to the interests of Protestantism. His whole career —and a career it is such as will survive in our na tional history —would be a splendid refutation of the aspersion. Strong, therefore, in his attachment to the Establishment, agitated with a profound solicitude to secure for ever the characteristic of Christianity to the empire at large, to its Constitution, and to the Parliament, the late Premier, nevertheless, announces the coincidence of his opinion with that ex pressed by the Noble Lord, his successor. Nor does Sir ROBERT PEEL arrive at this determi nation from any considerations of political expediency, —" My decision this night is influenced much less from considerations of political expediency than from a deep sense of religious obligation." That, we take it, is a sentence calculated to bewilder the imagina tions of such worthies as Sir CULLING EARDLY SMITH. As if aware that such would inevitably be the case among the zealots of the Church, Sir ROBERT at once gives an illustration of his meaning, and in so doing reveals the principle which is the very vitality of his reverence for religion, namely, the principle of " forbearance" inculcated by the con verted Pharisee, who became an Apostle. " I main tain this," said the Right Hon. Baronet, " thit the House of Commons has no right for mere religious error to inflict a penalty." And by way of attesting the accuracy of that assertion, he observed, very admirably, s" In the case of the Roman Catholic you did not exclude him because lie maintained the doctrine of transubstantiation, but because you thought he was a dangerous subject in consequence of his acknowledging the supremacy of a foreign power." That that supposition was erroneous was testified by the very passing of the Act of Catholic Emancipation ; and it has only very recently been remarked by a distinguished member of the Roman Catholic Church in England, that the spiritual alle giance owed by every Roman Catholic to the Sovereign PONTIFF, is in no respect whatever incompatible with his allegiance to the QUEEN.° Unlike the subject of the Papacy, the Jews are not debarred even by this shadowy phantom of disloyalty. On the contrary— listen to the panegyric thus uttered upon the Israelites by Sir ROBERT PEEL—" I consider that in point of moral conduct—in point of active exercise of charity —in point of tried loyalty—and in point of property —the Jews are entitled to as much consideration as any other religious sect." And these are the indi viduals whom 204 Members of the House of Com mons would last evening have excluded from the en joyment of the ordinary rights of citizenship I The efforts of those dissentients must, however, prove in nocuous, now that we remember the force of public opinion, and the majority of seventy-three upon the second reading. We have already pointed out the propriety of har ing every prosecution conducted by competent per sons, appointed by the Crown for that important • duty, and also the expediency of affording profes sional assistance to every prisoner who is unable to provide the means recess ary for his own defence. The expenditure would not be very considerable, and greater security would be afforded to persons un justly accused than can now be said to exist. Several instances have recently been brought to light in which the innocence of parties has been made appa rent after they have sustained severe and unmerited punishment. Nothing should he spared which would impress the community in general with an absolute confidence in the just and impartial administration of the law. At present that feeling cannot be entertained as fully as it ought to be. In the great majority the most experienced and talented barristers are retained against the prisoner, while he is left alto gether undefended, although the consequences of a conviction may prove utterly ruinous, and his future liberty, his character, and everything that renders life desirable may be involved in the issue ; and, again, even if he should be enabled to scrape together the sum necessary for his proper defence, and that he should succeed in showing that the charge was ut terly untenable, he must submit not merely to the incarceration to which he had been subjected previous to the trial, but also to the heavy pecuniary loss. No costs can be given against the Crown, and the subject is left wholly without remedy. In theory the law says, "Better that ninety-nine guilty men should escape than that one innocent man should be unjustly con victed ;" but in practice we find it to he very different. Protection is afforded against an unjust civil demand, which by no means is extended to a party charged with a criminal offence. In one case, if the charge of the presiding judge is unsatisfacto'ry—if he enunciates any erroneous proposition of law, or misleads the jury in any particular—a new trial may be obtained. If the verdict is contrary to the weight of evidence, or contrary to the opinion of the Court, a second in , vestigation may be had ; but it is otherwise in criminal cases : no appeal can be had from the verdict once returned, however unfounded it may have been ; it must remain in force against the party, and the QuEgN's pardon can alone save him from the punish ment due to a crime, although great doubts may be entertained of the justice or propriety of the former decision. Nay, even where the innocence of the person is made perfectly apparent, as in the case of MARY ANNE TERTON, who had been sentenced to six months' imprisonment for a crime which was subsequently brought home to another, so that not the slightest doubt can be entertained that the verdict was altogether incorrect, yet there is no pos sible way in which it can be set aside, and the fair fame of the injured person must for ever remain tar nished on the public records. A court of appeal in criminal cases should be established, in which the judgment, if defective in any particular, either in law or fact, might be reviewed. In another part of our paper communications will be found respecting the case of a lad named GEORGE FREDERICK MIDDLERROOK, who was on Saturday last convicted at the Central Criminal Court on a charge of arson. Much dissatisfaction is said to exist as to the verdict returned in that case, which was returned after a very short deliberation, and as we stated in our report at the time, was received with the utmost astonishment by a crowded court. It ap peared to us at the time that, at the outside, the case was one merely of suspicion, and by no means such as to warrant a conviction. A number of witnesses were produced, who gave him an excellent character, some of them having known him from a child. All spoke of him as an honest, well-conducted . boy, whom they considerNedowriu:atlethincapable of committing such an offence. cha racter cannot set aside such as that t direct p et an udnimpeachable positive . testimony of guilt, it is in cases v a aiu t a o ve whi E ch we are . attentively alluding that it is peculiarly t,iov ier e y on c s ir i. - cumstance should be closely an d b s u i t io w n as that it dered—not merely that he was inosfruecnlice, he Wright have committed the certain that the fire was the act of an incendiary, and if so, was it morally impossible that suc h could' have been the case without the knowledge and participa tion of the unfortunate lad ? There was no motive which could have induced him to join in such a transaction, and one so totally opposed to his previous conduct, and to the irreproachable character he had maintained from his earliest childhood. It was not " A few Remarks on the Social and Political Condi tion of British Catholics, By the Earl of Arundel and Surrey," pp. 30. Bro. Charles Dolman Is4B. London. • alleged that he entertained any vindictive feelings ; against his master. On the contrary, they appeared to have been on the most friendly terms. Money was missed, but no portion of it, not even a single shilling, was traced to the possession of the prisoner, and if he had taken any part of it, it is hardly possible that he could have concealed it effectually. It appeared on the evidence that a man, whom the prisoner represented to have come in from the street at the first alarm of the fire, and who assisted him in breaking into the room to put it out, was ob served to leave the house during the confusion, but no one could tell afterwards who he was, or where he had gone to. If any crime had been committed, is it not more than probable that the person who had thus left the house, and who neither came forward or could be discovered, was the person who stole the money, as he had an ample opportunity of doing, if so minded ? The directors of the highly-respect able fire-office (the Dissenters'), at which the pre mises were insured, having fully investigated the case, declined to prosecute, which proved that they, at least, were by no means satisfied of the guilt of the prisoner; and yet, with all these circumstances, a verdict has been returned which consigns him to the highest secondary punishment known to the law, one only short of the sacrifice of his life. Is it not manifest that if there was a tribunal of appeal the cane would most properly be taken there ; but as no such tribunal exists, his fate must now rest in tha hands of the Home Secretary, who may be unable, from the pressure of business, to give it that consideration of which it is deserving for some time at least. We most heartily commend the case to his notice, and are satisfied that the exercise of the royal prerogative in favor of the unfortunate lad would be received with general approbation. We may be pardoned here for again alluding briefly to the case of APCAIIE, who had been sentenced to death for the Mirfield murders, but which sentence la's recently been altered to transportation for life. In the latter an nouncing this commutation, the Home Secretary says, "that since the trial the case of M'CAna has been frequently under the consideration of the Judge who tried the prisoner, and he is of opinion that M'CABE was a participator in the crime to some extent." For not having regarded APCIBE as an innocent man — for not believing him to be so, be cause .RBID before his trial made a " con fession" which neither inculpated nor excul pated his fellow-prisoner, a torrent of vituperation and a series of the most pitiless attacks were directed against the young and talented counsel who defended REID. What will the assailants of Mr. DIGBY SEYMOUR now say to the fact, that with the knowledge of ltEip's dying declaration, that "he alone was guilty, that no human being was in any way connected with the murder but himse!f," Mr. Justice PATTESON, after frequent and mature consideration, came to the conclusion " that M'CABE was a guilty participator." We confess, that this case, also mate rially strengthens our desire for an appellate jurisdiction—for, if guilty, the extreme penalty should be inflicted—and, if innocent, or if any rea , vnable doubt exists, he should be discharged from any, even the slightest punishment. A letter from Venice of the 2d inst., states that the Volcano steamer had left that port, having on board a number of men to complete the crews of the Austrian fleet in the Adriatic. The object of this movement had not transpired, the captain of the steamer having sailed under sealed orders. The Patria of Florence states that the French Chargé d'Affaires at Turin has delivered a note de manding explanations of the proceedings of King CHARLES ALBERT. In this note, the French Go vernment, says the Patria, makes itself a guarantee for the intentions of Austria, and declares that the occupation of the Duchies of Parma and Modena had no other object than the protection of Lombardy, and that no intervention in the internal affairs of the reformed Italian states is meditated by Austria. We read in a letter from Turin, of the 6th—" I hasten to inform you of a very important deliberation which has just taken place in the municipal body of Turin. This assembly was convoked yesterday, the 6th, to decide on a motion that a petition should be presented to his MAJESTY, praying for the insti tution of a civic guard. Scarcely had the discus sion commenced, when Count PIETRO DETROSSI DI SANTA Rosa said, in substance—' Such proposi tions might have been useful and important before the events of Naples ; but at present they are not up to the level of the great things which have been accom plished, and of the destinies to which the Italian States are called. Cannot we address ourselves with filial confidence to a King who acts like a father ? Ought we not to supplicate him to crown the great enterprise which he has so gloriously commenced and maintained, of our political regeneration, by ac cording a representative constitution to his people, comprising in it the institution of the civic guard ?' The words of Count PIETRO DEROSSI De SANTA Rosa led away the assembly. His proposition was put to the vote, and adopted by a majority of 36 to 12. In the course of the sitting a committee was nominated for the purpose of drawing up, in conjunc tion with the syndics, an address to His MAJESTY. The committee i< composed of M. SINEO M. GALYAGNO, Count DE BLIONCOMPAGNI, and Count DE SANTA ROSA. It immediately set to work, its draft was adopted by the council, and the syndics are charged to present it on Monday next to the KING." It is said that the Grand Duke of TUSCANY has promised a constitution to his people. Madrid papers of the sth hare arrived. The Herald) announces that at half-past two o'clock that morning General ESPARTERO left Madrid for Logrono. He was accompaniEd by M. MURRIETA and C4.)lonel GURREA. The Senate met on the 4th, but its deliberations were on measures affecting the department of public works of not the slightest in terest. The Eco del Comercio publishes another large batch of congratulatory addresses to ESPARTERO. Recent letters from the Canary Islands announce that the malady which had raged there for some months, and which, at one time, excited considerable alarm, had disappeared. MADRID BOLSA, FEB. s.—The Three per Cents. were done at 27i at SO days; the Four per Cents., at 16k for paper ; the Five per Cents., at 17, at 50 days ; the Debt without Interest, at si, for paper; and the Coupons, at 12. We have received the Paris papers of yesterday. The discussion on the amendment to the para graph of the Address relating to the Reform banquets, proposed by M. D'ABMLAT, took place on Thursday, and was very animated. M. GUIZOT, M. TUIERS, and M. ODILON BARROT were the principal speakers. An assertion on the part of M. GUIZOT, that with his majority he might, if he pleased, smother all discus sion, produced an explosion of indignation from the Opposition. The amendment of M. D'ARBLAT was negatived by a large majority. The whole of the Opposition abstained from voting. The discussion was again resumed yesterday, on an amendment pro posed by M. DESMOUSSEAUX DE Givan, to omit the words "agitation excited by hostile passions or blind delusions." This amendment was supported by M. LAMARTINE and M. ()DILLON BARROT, and was op posed by M. MORNT and M. VITET. The discussion had not concluded when the post left. It is said that the Ministry feel they have gone too far, and would be glad of an opportunity of retracing their steps if possible. The imprudence of M. HEBERT in his speech of Tuesday is universally con demned. The whole of the troops in garrison in Paris are kept in their barracks to be ready in case of emer gency. The Reform banquet is fixed for Sunday next. All the members of the Opposition huve signified their intention of being present. The Prince and Princess DE Jon var.E arrived at Avignon on the 81 instant, and left on the follow ing morning for Cette, where they were to embark for Algiers. Captain SABATIER, who has been Consul at Janina, and who a few days since arrived at Paris, has just set out for Egypt with dispatches for the French Consul at Alexandria. This mission, it is said, re lates to the conditional establishment of AIM-EL.. KADER in the states of the PACUA. The Constitutionnel says— " it bas been stat e d t h at orders had been sent to i Cherbourg to direct steamers to the Mediterranean. It appears that similar orders have bem sent to the other ports of the Atlantic. It seems that the Go vernment desires to have under its hand, in the Me diterranean, a small fleet of steam-vessels capable of conveying a little corps cr armee on any point whatever of the coast. It is added that all the general officers and the chiefs of corps belonging to the army of Africa, who are at present on leave of absence at Paris have received orders to return to their respec tive pasts."

Those in the house made their escape, and the alarm having been given those present, with the aid of a good supply of water, some; what arrested the progress of the fire ull the arrival of the firemen, when, through the latter's exertions, the rower part of the establishment escaped destruction. cause of the fire was not ascertained, but the property destroyed is believed to be insured. We have just risen from a perusal of the " Peasant and his Landlord," a novel by the Baroness Knorring, which has been just introduced to us froix the Swedish by Mary Hawitt. So many fertile brains have been at work during the last twenty years in the co mposition of narrative fiction, that we had thought invent. ion was well night exhausted. But this new work prove is to us how likely we are to be mistaken when we woul, reckon by an every day standard the resources of plains. The " Peasant and his Landlord" is one of the most powerful and interesting books we have over read ► reminding us of the greatest works of fiction in the best war—namely, by its profound originality.

After a lengthened discussion, The COMMITTEE decided that such a prima faci,t case of agency on the part of Mr. Corey had been made out as to entitle the petitioners to put in evidence o F what Mr. Corey had said and done. Mr. Sergeant Goving proved that he received money' from Mr. Corey to pay certain expenses connected with: the election ; but Mr. Corey never told him by whom: he was authorised to pay the money. He acted as sb canvasser for Lennox and Coope. The amount he re ceived was between 2004 and 2501. for paying flag-car riers, poll-clerks, &c. Some of the parties who receivedl the money might have been freemen. Cross examined—Heard the sitting Members give it; out publicly that they would be no parties to the pur-. chasing of votes. Re-examined—The voter asked "How about the back arrears, am I to get them?" to which the Members re plied, " Oh, no, we have nothing to do with that." Many voters in consequence of the refusal, refused to promises their votes. Simon Gunter, a butcher, and a voter, proved that at the last election, Mr. Charles Corey hired the whole of one of witness's houses in the market-place, opposite the Angel Inn. On several occasions he saw Lord Lennox and Mr. Coope enter the house, and once or twice he saw Mr. Stagg and ➢ir. Corey with them. The rent. he received for the month was 201. The house let for 30/. a year. He voted for Lennox and Coope.

MONEY and COMMERCIAL N 1 WS. CITY, QUARTER TO THREE. The Cotton Market at Liverpool yesterday was firm. Sales 5,000 bales, making 31,980 for the week. The stock is 280,120 hales against 449,800 bales at this time last year. Railway shares had been flat again. There has been an important increase again in the assets of the Bank of England, while the only indication of better employment for capital is to be observed in the diminution of the private deposits. The Bank Directors have been unable, even with the stimulus of a reduced rate of discount, to get more notes into circulation, and there is an accumulation consequently both of unem ployed notes and bullion. The following is the result of a comparison between the week ending the sth ihst. and the previous week:— Notes issued Increase Rest Increase Public Deposits Increase Other Deposits Decrease 469,060 Seven Day and other Bills 898,217 Decrease 6,756 Government Securities Other Securities Decrease 433,313 Notes Increase Bullion Increase Active circulation Decrease 5,965 The Foreign Exchanges were lower yesterday after noon upon the principal continental cities. There are no foreign arrivals to-day with intelligence of interest. The course adopted yesterday afternoon at the meet ing of Peruvian Bondholders appears to meet general approval, and the resolutions are considered not in the least too " strong " for the occasion. The proceeds of the Guano contract, to the fullest extent, ought in fairness to be made over to the bondholders. There has been a steady market to-day for the Public Securities, and at an advance in the quotations, although the transactions hare not been extensive. Consols have realised 895 to for present Transfer, and 895 to for Account. The Paris news of yesterday has rather damped the market. Exchequer-bills of March have been 18s. to 223. premium, and those of June, 265. The New Three-and-a-Quarter per Cents. have been quoted 90i to 905. In the Foreign Funds there is scarcely any business doing. Spanish Three per Cents. are 321, and Mexican 18 . g. Equador Stock is at 31. Danish Bonds have been 84, and Dutch Four per Cents. 851 4. Railway Shares have been rather drooping again, and there is not much doing. BRITISH FUNDS THIS DAY AT ONE O'CLOCK. (From the Official List.) 111 3 per Cent.

Fm3.ll.—The schooner yachtG ipsey Queen was towed out of Cowes harbour on the 10th inst. by the Tug steamer belonging to the Southampton Dock, having on her deck a number of Custom-house officers and the Cowes Custom-house boat at her stern. The yacht belonged to the Royal Thames Yacht Club, and was the property of the Duke de Stackpool, against whom an information was laid sometime since by a discharged servant, of having landed and taken to his mansion a quantity of contraband spirits. It is said that the Duke himself had no knowledge of the transaction, but it would appear that he is likely to pay very dearly for the parts that others took with his property. The yacht, which is 160 tons, cannot have cost him less than 6,0001., and the bond for her is probably about 3,0001., with the extras, the amount will be little under 10,0001.
