The Work which is now presented to the public is the result of very extended experience in a class of diseases and affec tions, which for some unaccountable reason have been either altogether overlooked, or treated with apathy, and almost in difference, by the of dinary practitioner. To enter into the details of these affections, to point out their causes, and to mark the terrific consequences, social, moral, and physical, which are sure to follow from indulgence, in certain habits, would be entirely out of place in an advertisement. We have no hesitation, however, in saying that there is no member of society, by whom the book will not be found interesting, whe ther we consider such person to hold the relation of a PA RENT, a PRECEPTOR, or a CLERGYMAN.

Mr. FOX MAULE presented petitions from the Presbyteries of Perth, Ayr, and several other parts of Seal Ind, against lay patronage ; also a petition from the guardians of a union in Norf . ( lk, praying that no alteration might be made in the Poor-laws ; also a pe tition from Bishop Stortford, in favour of the County Courts Bill ; also a petition front Perth, praying for the rev'sion of the Import Dufes. Mr. HUME presented a petition, signed by forty individuals of tie town of Manchester, complaining of the unhappy and miserable condition of the productive classes, which, in their opinion, was caused by the un just :tate of the representation, and praying for an ext.msion of the suffrage, in order that Members might be returned who would have some sym pathy with the middle and working classes ; also from a society at Marylebone, calling itself the Na tional Charter Association, stating that they view, with feelings of surprise and regret, the acquittal of the Earl of Cardigan, on the ground of a flaw in the in dictment, as notwithstanding a similar flaw, Messrs.

In presenting the petitions, he trusted it would not be thought he was violating the rules of the House in stating that a very large number of the petitioners op. peared to be labouring under a mistake in resrect to tl,e proper mode of transmitting petitions. A number of those sending the petitions had paid heavy postage, and many others had inquired whether they were liable to that invest or not. He trusted that it would go forth to the public that no postage was chargeabl: upon petitions sent to a Member for presentation to that House. Sir It. PEEL believed the Hon. Member was quite correct in his statement ; the fact was not generally known in the country. He had petitions to present upon which heavy postage had been paid. Mr. FIUME said the rule laid down by the Post office was, that all petitions addressed to a Member of the House for presentation to the House, open at the ends, and not exceeding 6 oz., were passed free. Mr. WAKLEY had been dealt with much more favourably by the Post-office authorities than it appeared his Hon. Friend had—he had received petitions free of postage which much exceeded 6 oz. They were charged when they were made up into packages, and then the Post-office had not the power of preventing frauds. Sir R. PEEL said the mistake, no doubt, arose from the Parliamentary Papers being now charged. There ought to be distinct information given to the country from proper authority. • Mr. O'CONNELL said the mistake alluded to by the Right Hon. Baronet certainly prevailed in Ireland. It would be most important that , such notice from au thority should be , given. Mr. EASTHOPE said it was also important that it should be clearly understood what was the rule. He thought the Hon. Member for Kilkenny was labouring under a mistake, for he had received many petitions free that weighed much above six ounces. Mr. F. MAULE quite agreed with the Right lion. Baronet. The public ought to be made fully aware of the Post-office re g ulations u p on so i m p ortant a hewas the only one connec t e d w ith the present, he would charge himself with the subject. A nt s duty of conveying the unanimous wis h of the Hous e to the Chancellor of th e Exchequer. Mr. WAKLEY presented a petitio n f rom Arch deacon Bathurst, of Norwich, complaining of the manner in which tithes were charged to the poors'-rate. Stock in trade was now exempted, and so, in hi s opinion, ought tithes. Also a petition from Nottingham, signed by 4,246 inha bitants, complaining of the operation of the New Poor-law Bill ; a petition from Kettering, to the same effect ; a petition from Milton, in Gloucestershire, that the People's Charter might be com plaining of the increased expenditure under the New Poor•lsw Bill ; Thatehem, in Berkshire, to the same (feet ; and from College of Maynooth. Lsiceater, pra)iug made the law of the land, as being the only effective and radical remedy for the maiiifold grievances of the people. Mr. SHAW presented a petition from Stafford, presented a petition from the operatives of Manchester, praying for the release of Mr. Feargus O'Connor ; a petition from Barnsley, in York agarviinrs.t Tan.yDfuurNthcerogmranßtEto the Co! sptartelsiceyn,t:dlraish petition from shire, praying for the r elease . of Frost, Jones, and Wil liams ; a petition from the City of Westminster, to the Registration same effect ; and a petition from Sutton Ashby, in Nottinghamshire, to the same effect. Bill. Sligo, of C E Lord VA i-1 Mr. GREG presented a petition from Manchester, in favour of tho release of Frost, Jones, and Williams. Sir It. PEEL presented a petition from the County Palatine of Lancaster, co mplaining that tine rates had been increased by the newPoor-liw Bill, and praying that the House would put down a system so opposed to the h eliugs ol the people ; and also against the County Consta bulary Bill ; a petition from the inhabitants of Kensing ton and Knightsbridge, praying for a reduction of the tolls on bridges over the Thames ; and a petition from the attorneys of Bradford, in Yorkshire, praying that in any measure for the improvement of the County Courts, the exclusive right of commencing suits might be resoled to the attorneys. Mr. O'CONNELL presented petitions from places In the counties of Donegal, Kerry, and Tyrone, in Ire land ; also a petition from Warrington, in Lancashire, favour of Lord Morpeth's Bill for the extension of the franchise, and against Lord Stanley's. The Honourable and Le trned Gentleman also pre sented a, petition from the carpenters of Dub lin, in favour of a repeal of the Legislative Union between Great Britain and Ireland ; and another peti tion from the farmers and land-holders • of Baliymore Eustace, to the same effect ; also a petition from Cork, signed by 22,000 inhabitants, against ministers' money. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER presented a petition from the inhabitaats of Portsmouth, most numerously signed, in favour of the Jews' Declara- tion Bill. • Mr. COLQUHOUN presented a petition from Glasgow praying for improvement in the registration of births and marriages. Also a petition against the grant to the College of Maynooth. The ATTORNEY-GENERAL presented a peti- Lion from Edinburgh in favour of the Jews' Declaration Bill. Also a petition from the same place praying that some change be made in the manner in which taxes are levied on railway passengers. Lord ELIOT presented a petition from Liskeard, praying that workhouses be exempt from the payment of rates and taxes. Mr. THORNELY presented a petition signed by 1,000 of the inhabitants of Liverpool, praying for a te. duction in the duties on coffee and sugar. SEVERN NAVIGATION. The Report of the Committee of Selection on this Bill was brought up, and moved to be printed. COPYRIGHT OF DESIGNS. Sir ROBERT PEEL gave notice that in Com mittee on the Copyright of Designs Bill. with a view . of protecting copyright for one season, and limiting it to one Session, he should move that the period of copy right of designs should be extended to nine months, and restricted to that period. Mr. LABOUCHERE gave notice, that if the Right Hon. Baronet should press the motion of which be had just given notice, he (Mr. Labouchere) should move as an amendment that the period of copyright should be limited to six months. CRIMINAL LAW. The ATTORNEY-GENERAL gave notice that he should shortly ask for leave to bring in a Bill to amend the law relating to the administration of crimi nal justice in certain boroughs in Scotland. ABSENCE OF MEMBERS UPON LEAVE. The RIGHT HON. AND LEARNED GENTLEMAN said he would take that opportunity of vindicating himself from the charge made against him last night in his absence, and he was surprised that any Gentleman could make such a charge.—(Hear, hear, and a laugh.) It was stated last night that he had set a bad example, in shrinking from the execution of•his duty. But the fact was, that he last Session claimed an exemption from attendance in Parliament, on the ground that be had to conduct an important Government prosecution in a remote county. The Right Hon. Member for Tamworth concurred with him, that he was perfectly justified in asking for leave of absence under those cir cumstances. As soon as the trial was over he returned to town, and attended constantly in the House for the remainder of the Session.—(Hear, hear.) Sir R. PEEL entirely concurred with what fell from the Right Hon. and Learned Gentleman—(Hear, hear)—and hoped, for the satisfaction of his feehr.gs, his (the Attorney-General's) name would be placed upon the first Committee.—(Laughter.) POOR-LAWS. Col. EVANS moved for returns relating to out-door relief, under the New Poor-law Act. POSTAGE OF PETITIONS. Mr. EASTHOPE asked whether the Chancellor of the Exchequer, who had not been in the House when a conversation took place on the subject of the postage of petitions, whether he could inform the House what was the state of the law respecting the postage of peti tions ? Was it the case that petitions weighing more than six ounces were chargeable with postage ? The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said, that under the law before the Penny-pcstage came into operation, all petitions under six ounces in weight were exempted from postage ; and the law on the sub ject is still unchanged. The practice of the Post office was not to receive petitions of vcry'great bulk ; but petitions of a fair and reasonable size were carried, and, if charged with postage, the money was again re turned. If the Postmasters were now under any mis apprehension on the matter, he would take care to set them right. Lord JOHN RUSSELL moved that the House should on Monday next resolve itself into a Committee on South Australian Acts.—Agreed to. In reply to Colonel SIBTHORP, Lord JOHN RUSSELL said that he would lay on the table of the House to-morrow a copy of the re- -..- turn regarding the appointment of Mr. Vizard at the Home-office. In answer to another question from Colonel SIB THORP, Tile CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER stated that if the miscellaneous estimates were laid on the table any time before Easter, the usual rule would be complied with ; but he had no doubt they would be presented to the House in the course of a few days. Lord J. RUSSELL wished to state, with regard to the course of business on Friday, that it was pro posed by his Right Hon. Friend the President of the Board of Trade to bring on upon that day the Colonial Customs Bill. The third reading of the Turnpike Acts Continuance Bill could then be moved, and afterwards the second reading of the Bill relating to County Coroners. RAILWAY COMPANIES. We extract f►om the Sheffield Independent the fol lowing account of the proceedings of the Gcneral Meet ing of Proprietors of the London and Birmingham Rail way Company, lately held at Birmingham, rdative to the attempt to vote money from the funds to build a Church : _ " The circumstances of the case, so far as we could learn, were these :—The London and Birmingham Railway Company have collected together, at their station at Wolverton, a very large body of workmen, for the purpose of conducting the goods department of the Company's traffic, and for the repair of their en gines. Being at an inconvenient distance from a place of worship, the trustees of land adjoining offered to give the site for a church, if the Company would give 1,000/. to build one, for the use of their „own workmen. This liberal offer induced a Shareholder, without any pre vious notice, to move, at the General Meeting in Au gust last, that 1,0001. of the Company's money be ap plied to this purpose. Not a few'of the Shareholders were taken by surprise, and the resolution was almost unanimously carried. It was not long, however, before the true bearing of the resolution became apparent. a meeting had power to do this, they might also, if the parties could obtain a majority, snake another grant for a Wesleyan chapel, or Indepeadents' or Friends' meet ing -house, or tie NS ' synagogue. They might build an hospital for any of their men who had been injured in their service, to say nothing of mechanics' institutes and ❑ews'-rooms, to keep their men from the public-houses. " But even those who would not agree to all this, might consider a chapel at every station, proportioned to the wants of their workmen, as quite reasonable. And after so good an example from that. railway, which, we admit, does take the lead in the extent of its traffid, and the excellence of its arrangements, few of the smaller concerns would be long without so desirable an addition to their establishments. We understand that a number of the Shareholders, who are members of the Society of Friends, first took up the matter, and pre sented a pretty strong memorial to the Directors, pro testhrg against this application of their money as illegal, unwarranted by the Company's Acts, and foreign to the purpose for which it was established. They also ob jected to the grant, that it was highly inexpedient to introduce questions involving religious opinions, amongst a body of Shareholders of various Christian denomina rions, as likely to create dissension, and interfere with the proper management of the concern. And they urged that it was an infringement upon their Christian privileges, to be compelled to contribute towards the erection of a building to be applied to a form of wor ship from which they conscientiously dissented. The justice of these views was admitted even by many who were most anxious for the religious instruction of the workmen. "The illegality of this appropriation of the common property of the Company was supported by the opinion of the Attorney-General, who declared that however audable the object of the resolution in question may be, and however desirable that it should be carried into virect; he was ' bound to say, that in his opinion, such an appropriation of the funds of the Company is not authorised by the Company's Acts.' " It was accordingly moved at the meeting that the grant be rescinded. It was suggested that the sum be raised at once by voluntary contribution, to which seve ral Proprietors were ready to contribute liberally. Tile discussion, although very animated,was conducted with out asperity on either side. The movers of the resolu tion for rescinding the grant expressed the greatest anxiety for the moral and religious instruction of the Company's servants, but thought that this ought to be carried out without the injustice of making individUals of every religious belief contribute to the propagation of tenets to which they might be conscientiously op• posed. They urged too, that it was with them purely a question of principle. The whole pecuniary question at issue would only amount to about sixpence upon every 100/. share. " At length, an amendment was moved, and carried by a mujority of eight, that, instead of rescinding the grant, a rateable proportion of it should be retained, and paid back to every one who should object, and apply for his quota within a month ; the deficiency to be made up by voluntary subscription ; thus, as a Proprietor remarked, making the whole vote volun- tary." " So terminated a discussion of very great import once to public companies generally. The right of a majority to be liberal at the cost of others, and even against their consent, was we hope, practically set at rust. The decision had been waited for with no ordi nary anxiety, and we confess that, as Dissenters, we Lad, with no little satisfaction, a conc:usion which, we hope, will close the door to one means of very great abuse. " We can conceive . that, in hands less considerate and less honourable than the gentlemen who snot that day, not only might such assumed power be made one of the most powerful engines of Church Extension, but applied to objects which would prove the theme of endless dissension and rancour amongst those who had, in perfect good faith and simplicity, embarked their capital in such undertakings. " For the 'sake of the principle involved, we trust the Shareholders generally will apply for their quotas, whether large or small, of the 1,0001. whatever they may conclude, to contribute voluntarily towards the church at Wolverton."

THE ENGAGEMENT.—The expectation ex ited.respecting this new novel, before its publication, has been met by a more than answerable interest and attrac tion in the work itself, which is perhaps one of the hghest productions of its class that our day has witnessed. In the rarest and most important of all the features of a work of this nature, an interesting- ,p,lot; l7 The Engage ment," has scarcely a rival among-Inodern novels, while e....b t5.-t the brilliance of some of i taracters and the beauty and delicacy of others speak a writer capable of high achievements in thi style of composition. The writers wham th s new novelist most resembles are Sir Edward Bulwer and Mr. Plumer Ward. There is, perhaps, nothing snore striking and brilliant is the works of the former than the whole character of De Grey, in " The Engagement ;" and the two heroines, the delicate and touching Horatia, and the stately Eleanor, will bear comparison even with those female creations in which the author of " Tremaine" so eminently excels. If we do not greatly err, the name (at present wholly unknown) of the writer of this novel is destined to take a very high rank in the prose literature of his country. DEAF NESS.—At length this dreadful malady is completely obviated, without torture and serious risk by medical treatment. The Messrs. S. and B. Solomons, 39, Albemarle street, Piccadilly, opposite the York Hotel, and 76, King William-street, Bank of England, have constructed a Voice Conductor, the size of a seven.shilling piece, which, when fixed into the cavity of the ear, is soft, easy, and not more uncomfortable nor perceptible than having a piece of wool in its place ; and that w • is deserving the public attention and approbation is, th3f.-a individual in cons piny may place it in the ear and remove-if unobserved. It pours into the ear the general conversa 'vino such an extent that, in severe cases, deafness is not th east perceptible, and sufferers are enabled to hear the slight whisper at a public assembly. Their -newly-invented Spectacle Lenses, immediately they are placed before imperfect vision, bring it at once back to its youthful, ori. ginal, and natural state, and the most minute particle is seen, either by day or candle light, with exact distinctness. These valuable improvements in the materials are secrets to themselves, and are solely confined to their establishments, 39, Albemarle-street, oppo. site the York Hotel, and 76, King William.street, City. i SYRIA. Mr. HUME wished to know when the papers re lative to Syria, which had been ordered a fortnight ago, would be laid on the table ? Lord JOHN RUSSELL could not give a positive answer to the question as the papers were not in his office, but had no doubt they would he presented in the course of a few days. JEWS' DECLARATION BILL. On the Order of the Day being read for the second reading of this Bill, Mr. HODGES presented a petition from the Hebrew congregation of Edinburgh in favour of the Bill. Mr. ANDREW WHITE presented a similar pe tition from Sunderland. Mr. HAWES said that as his Hon. Friend the Member for Exeter was not in the House, and had given him no notice of his intention with regard to that Bill, be hardly knew if in his absence he should be justified in moving the second reading. He did not know if any opposition was to be made to the Bill ; if so be would not press it. Mr. LAW HODGES said the Hon. Member for Exeter had requested him to move the second reading, although it would have been more agreeable tl hie feelings to have left the matter in the hands of the Hon. Member for Lambeth, whose name was on the back of the Bill. In performance of the promise then made to the Hon. Member for Exeter, be woad now move the second reading of the Bill. Tue House, he trusted, were already aware of the diffi culties under which persons professing the Jewish reli gion laboured with respect tocertain offices in the kingdom, and it did not require any lengthened statement from him to justify the motion that this Bill be read a second time.—(Hear, hear.) When the Test and Corporation Acts were repealed, a declaration was required from all persons taking office that they would not use any power which they might acquire to the prejudice of the Established Church. The 9th of Geo. IV. re quired that all persons holding office under the Crown should take the declaration within six months after taking office, but in Corporations it was required that per sons holdingoffi e should make the declaration on entering on the duties of their office, or within one month after wards. Now they all recollected a gentleman who had filled the high office of Sheriff of London and Middlesex, who had afterwards appeared at the bar of the House with petitions from the City of London, and who had discharged his duties a ith the highest credit to himself. Ile had afterwards been elected an Alderman of the City of London, but he had not been able to avail himself of the confidence placed in him by his fellow-citizens on account of certain words intro duced into the declaration required by the Act of Parlia ment. From that difficulty Quakers, Mormians, and Separiitisti hail since been la lieved, and he sought by this Bill to afford the same relief to per sons professing the Jewish religion--(Hear, Lear.) The same gentleman had afterwards served the office of Sheriff of the county of Kent, and probably it was owing to that circumstance that his Hon. Friend the Member for Exeter had reoc:tel him to move the second reading of the Bill, as it would be more satisfactory that some gentlemen connected with that county should have an opportunity of bearing testimony to the manner in which he had discharged the duties of the Sheriff of the county of Kent. He knew many High Sheriffs, and he must confess that he never knew one who discharged his duties with more credit to himself, or satisfaction to the county, than Mr. Salomons. There was not a charity that was brought tic der his notice, and for which his assist ance was required, to which he did not most c heerfully laid liberally colitribute.—( Hear, hear.) There were even instances of thtlt gentleman's contribu tin g to t he PRICE sd. building of churches in the county of Kent.—(Hear.) The difficulties under which these parties laboured were not from the provisions of any statute, but from conscientious motives which they had imposed upon themselves, from making the declaration required of them. He had been told that in the Corporations of Southampton and Birmingham, persons of the Jewish persuasion were members of the Ginned, arid they had become so because they were not required by those Corporations to make the declaration ; it show ed, therefore, that it was in the power of Corpo rations convict( ly to exclude persons from situations of honour and trust. That was a state of things that ought not to continue. It was an act of justice to place these persons upon the same footing of (-quality with the Quakers and Moravians. He was unwilling to take up the time of the House further, believing that they could not do better than to pass this Bill, which would have the effect of joining all persuasions in one bond of common interest. It was upon these gronnds that he Leiged to propose the second reading of the Bill. The SPEAILEIt having put the question, Sir R. INGLIS said that when last the Bill was before the House, he had stated that it was a Bill to enable Mr. Salomons to fill the office of Alderman of the city of London, and the speech they had just heard ve rified that statement. -That speech had told them much of the excellent qualities of Mr. Salomons, but as to the general principle involved in the Bill of un christianizing England for the purpose of admit ting Mr. Salomans to become an Alderman of London, the Honourable Member had said nothing. However reluctant he was to refer to individual cha racter, yet when it was brought forward he could not allow it to pass altogether unnoticed. The liberality Of David Salomons, Esq., would prove nothing more than this, that he was ntither a Jew nor a Christian. If he were- a consistent Jew it was iinpossihle that he could assist Christians in raising a temple to one whom he must blaspheme and regard as an impostor. An instance of the same kind of liberality happened in the United States. A Presbyterian chapel was in pecu niary difficulties, and a Jew came forward to assist the congrogat:on. It was impossible that a man could act in this way if he sincerely believed in his own religion. All the offices of this country, whether legislative, judi cial, or administrative, had hitherto been exercised by persons professing Christianity, and for the sake of an individual,—at east a particular individual, had been referred to by the Hon. Member—it was sought to expunge the declaration made by all s those who discharged public functions, that they hold the true faith of a Christian. It was, in fact, an attempt to unchristianize England for the sake of admitting a single individual to a public office. Oa former occasions he (Sir R. Inglis) had stated the preliminary objection which he took to this measure—namely, that tile Jews were a nation as well as a creed,—that they were a nation absolutely, and, as he believed, till it pleased God by his own act to alter their position, irrevocably sepa rated from the rest of the world. The time would come —all who were sincere Christians must believe and desire it—the time would come when every Jew must become a Christian, but till that time should come, the Jew, whe ther horn in Germany, or Portugal, or England, derived his character, not from the accidental sport of earth on which he may be born, but from the parents from whom he proceeded, and from the creed by which he was distinguished. He was a member, not of the nation of Germany, or any other country, but of the ancient Israelitish people. This was so distinctly and emphatically the case, that there was hardly any paper written by a Jew in which there was not some reference made to this nation. It escaped them almost involuntarily. The very first sentence of a remarkable letter, addressed by Mr. Hart, of Montreal, to the Right Hon. Baronet the Member for Tamworth, when he filled the office of Secretary of State for the Home Department was couched in these terms, " As a member of an oppressed nation I appeal to you." They would all bear in mind that his late Right Hon. Friend Sir R. Grant, was fre quently addressed by the Jews of Germany and Portu gal for his zeal in the Jewish cause, but they never thanked him for interfering on behalf of any individuals, but always for that nation ; they were a distinct nation, and the House were about to naturalize a people and a creed when they only professed to confer civil and reli gious liberty upon part oilier Majesty's subjects. The 8.11 was a very simple looking Bill ; it consisted of only some seven or eight lines, and at first sight appeared to be a very innocent one, but he would call upon lion. Members to pause before they took a first step in such an unwise course.--(Cries of " Hear, hear.") He • would ask whether the public would have been satisfied had a Jew been the presiding Magistrate, when a person named Carlyle was charged with printing or exhibiting a blasphemous print ? That person was un doubtedly..guilty of blasphemy in the eyes,of the Noble Lord the Secretary of State for the Colonies—nay, in the eyes of every Hoe. Member in the House. —(Hear, hear.) Would the public have been satisfied, or was it right for the House to put any owe in such a false position as to call upon him to pronounce judgment in a case where conscientiously he could not believe any blasphemy had been committed ? Law and legislation were formed of extreme cases, and be knew the danger of beginning. There were many Hon. Members in the House (and he spoke without any personal disrespect) who had been admitted little by little, and whose admission be had always regarded as one of the greatest evils which the country had ever sustained.—(lronical cheers.) The present was a preliminary step to the admission of Jews, and, as the Honourable Member for Kilkenny had said, of Panee3, Mahommedans, and Brahmins) because, in answer to him (Sir R. Inglis) tie Honourable Member had said that he saw no objection to their admission, provided they discharged their duty as citi zens. That he thought a most mischievous doctrine, and he maintained that in the case of a State like Eng land, Christianity was an integral part of the lsw of the country. It appeared to him that it they delibe rately expunged from their statute book the words, " I do this upon the true faith of a Christian," it would be preparing the way for expunging these words in all cases as they arose, according as the increasing liberality of Honourable Members on that or the other side of the House prompted them. The House was not pdrhapi aware that many" members of the Jewish persuasion were opposed to the Bill —the• Jewish community resident in that country were certainly not unanimous upon the subject. The Hon. Member for Lambeth would recollect that, five or six years ago, he had presented a petition from Ebenezer Dermal, praying that a similar Bill, then in progress, might not be passed. (Hear, hear.) He had received a communication from a Jew residing in Cambridge. That individual addressed him (Sir R. Inglis) privately by letter ; and also in a public pamphlet. The substance of both were the same. In the pamphlet, which he held in his hand, and which was written in . answer to one on the emancipa tion, the writer addresses his Jewish brother as follows :—" Brother," said he, •" you arc mis taken greatly—you are no Englishman." And again addressing the Jew claiming the privileges of an Eng lishman, the writer said, " Though you r ere born in England, you arc no more than a foreigner—you have no home in this land, or in any other country—arc you not a Jew ? If so, you muse -describe yourself as an English Jcw, belonging to Jerusalem, and a free man of the land of Canaan." It was a Rabbi, residing in Cambridge who wrote thus. That Rabbi stated distinctly that a man could not be a Jew and an Englishman at the same time.—(Laugh ter.) He (Sir R. Inglis) had quoted a Jew in sup port of his views on the present question, anti Hon. Gentlemen did not contradict him (Sir R. Inglis) but they were attempting to contradict that Jew.— ( Hear.) The Jews were not like the French Pro testants, who came over here to England, arid in one or two generations became absorbed in the great mass of the English people, so that one could scarcely dis tinguish, in the present mass of English society, the descendants of the French Protestants. So also with the Dutch who came over with King William, and the:Normans who came over with the Conqueror —they were all soon amalgamated in the general mass of the English people. That was not the case with the Jews. The object of the present Bill was to introduce into the Corporations, and next iiito the Legislature of England, men who of a ecessity and beyond the powers of all human law, were unable to become the citizens of a country in which they might sojourn. If it was a claim of justice he would not Dives° t it was not—it was a claim of expediency. What ever was done in the Legislature the true faith of Chri stians, and by s was doneeeokn ing to introduce a few individuals according thet ion. 'nese Jews who came in to England knew whatdpre sent all they were preparing to expunge l thatcc thelara law of England was. We did not invite them. They came for their own objects. Were they degraded or despised here ? Had they not complete and absolute protection o f all soc i a l a nd personal rights unconecet u e s el tify wit u h s po wer? Two centuries ag o there was not a sin gle Jew in England. The y had g radually come in si nce that pariod, and there was nothing to j in altering on their account our social sys em. Out of two arguments must follow. Were they prepared by their legislation that night to declare that th e a l . ternative of their own religion should follow ? The Jews declared Him whom they all honoured na me and adored,alone they to be hopeda r impostor—thats,,h,ationwa }sl a e ,oceredecei. When the Jew came to the tabl e of that House, he must state that as solemnly as any man could state it. Thank God it was theproposedasnotHyoeuts,,butLe that that measure should pass arned ti'tam teat if they passed that initiatory inea -ilwAtlier would soon follow after ; and that reafter.:they would soon have to legisiate for the ihriaianity el England. Mr. CUMMING BRUCE seconded the motion. Several Members rose simultaneously to address the House and great confusion ensued, until the Speaker, having put the amendment, called upon Lord John Russell. Lord JOHN RUSSELL was glad the question was now reduced to one between religious liberty on the one hand and intolerance on the other. The Right Honourable Gentleman stated in several parts of his speech, that we must consider our religion true, and the Jewish religion false, and that, therefore, the Jews are incapable of holding municipal offices. Sir, I do not think that those who opposed the extension of civil rights to Dissenters and Roman Catholics were willing to put their opposition on that ground. They were always anxious to put the question upon someissee a tl r i g e u S n t w i n te t was concerned.— 'Their (Cheers.) was that th ose w h o di ssen t f rom t h e Church bad not tb• same interest in the State, and would not be so stead fast in thi it allegiance as those who here members of the Church which was connected with, and, as it were, a part of, the State.—(Hear, hear.) That argument had been overruled by the Parliament, and Dissenters were admitted to equal civil rights with their fellow subjects of the Established Church.—( Hear, hear.) In the case of Roman Catholics, those who were op scd to their claims took every care to avoid saying that they did so, because the Roman Catholic religion was false and ours true. They said that the Roman Catholics had another eilegiauce, namely, to the Pope of Rome, and that, the Statc could not rd upon their acting in Parliament and in civil offices, with a faithful regard to the interests of the State and the rights and liberties of their fellow-subjects. But that argument also has been, I am glad to say, over ruled by Parliament, and Roman Catholics as well as Dissenters are placed upon an equal footing as to civil rights with Protestants. Now, Sir, when we come to this case of the Jews, there is nothing to meet it but the bare naked principle of intolerance—(Cheers) — because they differ from us in religion.—(Renensed cheers.) Sir, the principle which I would prefer is directly opposed to that.—(Cheers.) I. think that, with respect to civil offices, where we find persons fitted to fill their, difference of religion is no ground for exclusion. But with respect to the Church, it is another matter. We cannot admit persons to hold offices in the Church or connected with the Church, who hold opi nions different from those of the Church. But in respect to civil offices, we have no reason to inquire is religious opi n i ons o f any can did ate, pro vided he s qualified to discharge the duties—(Great cheering)—add tbs.!: he can bc relied upon as respects the Sovereign and Parliament for allegiance and obedi ence to the laws and fidelity to his fellow-citizens.— (Chee(s.) is not this the case with respect to Baron Rothschild, Sir Moses Montefiore, Mr. Salmons, and other men whose families have long been established in this country, and who are known to those who adminis ter the affairs of the country as persons as deeply in terested in the welfare, and honour, and liberties of this country es any other subject of her Majesty ? (Renewed cheers.) Could you say that such men are nut to be relied on as members of the Common Council of the City of London 2—(Hear, hear.) Really, Sir, I do not understand the principle on which this opposi . tion is founded.—(Cheers.) I have heard with sur prise that a Jewish gentleman is accused of insincerity. because he gave a contribution to the building of a Christian church. Sir, I do not think that it is any reproach to that gentleman, that when he saw a large number of Christians in his neighbourhood unpro vided with the means of religious worship and instruc tion, he came forward to supply those means that they might be made good Christians, instead of becoming pagans. Is there anything extraordinary in this'?— I think it exhibits the (sreatest wisdom and prudence, as well as liberality.—( ' Cheers.) My Hon. Friend ar gued that it was a principle of the Constitution of this country, and I think he added of the colonies also, that what he called the Christian character should be preserved ; and that, therefore, the Jews should be ex cluded. Now, with regard to the colonies, I can inform my Lien. • Friend of one, at least, which is an exception. --(Cheers.) In the colony of Jamaica Jews are ad mitted to an equality of privileges with their fellow subjects.—(Loud cheers.) The Assembly of the Co lony, with the assent of the Governor, has decided that Jews Ph-ill be admitted to all offices, and I can see nothing to call for the intervention of the Crown to prevent that decision from being carried into effect.-- s (Cheers.) My Hon. Friend goes on to say that th:, s i s a religious question, and that the prophecies declared that the Jews were to be a separate nation ; and that by the incorporation of them we were acting against the sacred interpretation of Scripture. Now that is not a point for the consideration of the House.--(Cheers.) If it were necessary to enter into a discussion on that subject here, 1 should say that the fulfilment of tie prophecies was perfectly compatible with the persons of that nation holding corporation offices. In my opinion, Sir, the D.vine, power and the Divine institutions require no assistance from us. My Hon. Friend does not ree the absurdity of his arg'ument, which ren ders it perfectly unavailable forhis purposes.—(Cheero ) II 1 mistake not, in 1835 we passed an Act, almost 'un ani!nousiy, authorising Jews to hold the office of Sheriff of London and Middlesex. Now, it a Jew being an Aide: man is against the prophecies, the same argument applies to the Sheriff of London and Middlesex.— ( Loud cheers.) Therefore these consequences have already taken place, and the force of the lion. Gentle man's argument, as I take it, is that Jews must be cut oil from office rt;tegether : for if you once admit them to any office there is an end of his argument.—(Cheers.) They now hold many offices, and in places in which there arc Ito corporations the Act of Parliament does not require any declaration ; and there Jews exercise the office of trustees of towns, of Commissioners of Paving, Lighting, and Police. It so happens, that in the town of I)LN - or:port a Jew held the office of Trustee of the tostn for Paving, Lighting, and Police, and it was only when the town was incorporated that he was depriaed of his office. So that at the present moment a Jew in town not incorporated may exercise offices per fectly analogous to tl e office of Town Councillor. My Hon. Friend cannot carry his principles into effect, be. cause the Jews may hold many offices now.—(Cheers.) Now with respect to the particular frame of the Act we are now considering. When the repeal of the Test and Corporation Acts was under consideration before this House a declaration was proposed by the Right Eon. Gentleman the Member for Tamworth. That declaration did not contain the words "on the true faith of a Christiar," but they were inserted in the , . House of Lords, and it was only in consequence of wishing that so important a measure should not be de la} cd, thA I did not raise an objection to those words? I believe if I had raised that objection that House would not have agreed with the House of Lords in making a new exclusion of the Jews. However, I de clared at once that I wished the Bill to be pressed, and those amendments were agreed to ; but what is the practical and I believe the legal effect of those words. They do not altogether exclude Jewri from corporations. The corporations may, if they please, require the (lc claration to be taken upon the assumption of office, but if they do not. think fit to eolorce the put ting of the declaration the Jew may hold the office, and would afterwards be covered by the Indemnity Act for so acting. In the case of the City of London, the declaration was put in the first instance, and the Judges decided that the Aldermen had acted legally inputting hathtehtlea::kr.:;ihat I shall Support then-_ declaration ; but I do not believe there is any rest• son for obliging Town Councillors to put that declara tion before the office is taken. This is certain, that there has been mote than one instance of a Jew holding office in corporations. There' is an instance in which a Jew held office in Southampton, and I ens informed there is another instance in the town of Birming ham. Teerelore what is now to introduce a thoroughly new n peeetiee, but to allow that which has been done i Southampton y eorporations anal lion.
