(Divide.) All honourable gentlemen admitted that it was not the family of Stuarts of which they were apprehensivl, but that the insurmountable objection they entertainek3 was a to the house of Rothschild. (A laugh.) The honours, We -1. and learned gentleman who introduced the subject had , 4 not told them how he proposed to get over the fact that 1 the citizens of London had returned Baron Rothschild ii, to Parliament. Suppose 100 Jewish members were re v, turned by the various constituencies, he wished to know i whether the house would keep them out. Not only had N, the citizens of London elected a Jewish chief magistrate , but they had also elected a Jewish churchwarden to ad- Si. minister the affairs of a Christian church. (Laughter.) Mr. Keeling, a Jew, had been elected churchwarden on two L or three occasions by the Christian parishioners of , I , St. George, Botolph-lane, and of St. Magnus the Martyr. , . Part of his duty in that capacity was to look after the 43,. clergyman and report him to the bishop if he did not r, perform his duty. (A laugh.) And he had performed '\l these duties to the satisfaction of the parishioners -a. and the rector Ouly two or three Sundays ago the Bishop 4 of Lichfield preached a charity sermon at St. Magnus, and was on that occasion attended by the Jewish churchwar. den, who did the honours of the church. (A laugh.) The Bishop of Lichfield came away without being unchris tianisA, and he thought that that Legislature could not suffer by the admission of two or three Jews. (Divide.) An unreformed Parliament had repealed the Test and Cor poration Act, and conceded Ct„tholic Emancipation,- and he busted that a reformed Parliament would not, by re jecting this 11, perpetuate tie last relic of bigotry and intolerance.

STAMPED 5D- that one branch of the inquiry had been completed, and had been referred to an actuary relative to some calcu lation. The actuary bad not yet returned the report, and therefore they were not enabled to lay the results of the commief.ion before Parliament. Mr. ROEBUCK asked on what day they might ex pect the report The CHANCELLOR. of the EXCHEQUER said he was not able to state the precise day the report would be • ready. IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT.; HOUSE OF LORDS-(YESTERDAY.) The LORD CHANCELLOR took his seat on the wool sack at the usual hour. THE FOREIGN LEGIONS. The Earl of DONOUGHMO RE said he wished to ask a question of the noble lord the Secretary of War as to what wan intended to be done with the foreign legions ? Lord PANMURE said that the foreign legions were enlisted upon the understanding that they should be liable, if it was requisite, to serve her Majesty in any quarter of the globe, precisely in the way that the other troops served. They were to have no claim to half-pay on their being disbanded. When they were disbanded they were to be sent free either to their own homes or to any of her Majesty's colonies. THE AMERICAN ENLISTMENT QUESTION. In reply to Major REED, Mr. H. BAILLIE stated that it was his intention to call the attention of the house to this subject as soon as any official information had been received. ALLEGED DISMISSAL OF MR. CRAMPTON. Mr. DISRAELI begged to ask lhe'noble lord whe ther he had yet received any positive information ? • Lord PAL NIERSTON said the-Goyernment had not yet received any information on the subject upon which any reliance could be placed. TIPPERARY BANK, Mr. BOWYER cilltel the attention of the Govern ment to certain observations made by the Master of the Rolls for Ireland .on. Tuesday last in the case of the Tip perary Bank, wherein that learned gentleman expressed surprise at the Government alloving the case to go on without the interference of the Government, and'attri.- buting gross dereliction of duty and connivance on the part of the Government in reference to this case. The ATTORNEY-GENERAL for . IRELAND said that he had seen the statement referred to. He had communicated with the Crown Solicitor, and had in structed him to make inquiries in order that he (the At torney-General) might act promptly and decisively in the matter if found correct. (gear.) , THE BISHOPRIC OF GLOUCESTER. The Earl of ELLENBOROUGH called attention to the fact that for a long time past there had been no re• sident Bishop in the diocese of Gloucester, which was a matter of the greatest inconvenience to the numerous clergy of the diocese. He recommended, therefore, that the diocese of Bristol and Gloucester should not be filled until the clergy resident in those dioceses had been consulted and their feelings ascertained on the sub ject. Earl GRANVILLE said the subject was one of great difficulty ; but her Majesty's Government had decided that before the vacancy was filled the feelings of the clergy living in the united dioceses should be inquired into, and the inconvenience as far as possible remedied. OUR RELATIONS WITH AMERICA. CAMBRIDGE UNIVERSITY BILL. The Earl of CARNARVON wished to know whether there had been any fresh arrival lately from America► ; and, if so, whether any information of a positive cha racter had been received,? -- _ FIREWORKS IN TII42..ARKS. In reply to a question from LOrd R,GIIOBIIIOTOII, • - Sir G. GREY said 1t was uot the - intention of the Government to repeat the fireworks in the Green-park and Hyde-park, and' that the erections lately used for that purpose were being removed.

ROYAL EXCHANGE, LONDON. JOHN A. HIGH.I3I, Actuary and Secretary. 0 re Earl GRANVILLE said that intelligence had been received by the Government of the arrival of the steam• ship Asia, from New York, but the information brought by the vessel was not of a very intelligible description, and,* such as it was, it was mostly of a private character. At the present moment her Majesty's Government was not in the possession of any official information on the subject ; but letters were expected either tonight or to•morrow which it was thought would contain something definite on the point. SECOND READINGS. On the motion of Lord REDESDALE, the following bills were read a second time, viz.:—Shrewsbury and Hereford Railway, Vale of Clwyd Railway, Glasgow Paving, Oxford, Worcester, and Wolverhampton Rail way (Extension of Time, &c.), Fleetwood, Preston, and West Riding Junction Railway, West Ham Gas, Coins Valley. and Halstead Railway, and Yarmouth and Fiadisene Railway. The Cork and Youghal Railway Bill was read a third time and passed. MERCANTILE LAW AMENDMENT BILL. Their lordships then went into committee on this bill. The LORD CHANCELLOR explained the nature and object of the bill, which was to assimilate the law of England and Scotland. In consequence of the dif ference at present existing great difficulty arose as to contracts made on the borders of the two countries. The effect of this bill would be to abolish written con tracts in the majority of cases in which they were at pre sent given. Lord OVERSTONE said be should not further oppose the measure, but at the same time he thought that the commercial community would approve of the bill. He concluded by expressing a hope that when the bill was diseased in another place, the whole of the provisions of the bill would be more thoroughly sifted and discussed than they bad been in their lordships' house. Lord CAMPBELL believed that the bill would re ceive the sanction of the other house. The clause of the statute of frauds, instead of preventing fraud, was in variably used to cover a fraud. The clause only gene rated litigation, and never prevented fraud. Lord ST. LEONARDS said the present law bad been in operation ever since the time of Charles the Second, and now it was proposed to repeal it, in opposition to the opinions of the mercantile body of London. The case cited by the Lord Chief Justice had nothing what ever to do with the law that that measure was to affect. The written contract, after that act, would fail just as much as it now failed without it. He was far from being confident that the measure would not lead to great diffi culty, as disturbing a settled principle of law. Lord STANLEY of ALDERLEY said he believed that the general opinion of the greatest merchants was averse to an alteration in the existing law, but against that he must state that the law of Scotland was contrary to the law of England, and that the practice throughout the north of England was in accordance with the law of Scotland, and not with the law of England. He hoped, as the bill would not prevent the old system being adopted by any person who preferred it that their lord ships would give their assent to the measure as one highly necessary for the security of the mercantile cam- Inanity. The bill was then ordered to be reported, and' the house resumed. REFORMATORY AND INDUSTRIAL SCHOOLS BILL. Lord RAVENSWORTH, in moving the second reading of this bill, said that reformatory schools had now become part of our national institutions, and were highly necessary to prevent the numerous houseless and homeless children in our large towns from vicious contamination. In the face of that in- Greasing commercial prosperity which was said to be the preventative of crime, there was no doubt that crime was fearfully increased in Great Britain. Much of that crime could be traced to the mischievous effects of bad training in early life, and this measure was intended as far as possible to remedy that evil. The bill contained powers to provide a home for . the juvenile outcasts of society, and to have recourse against the parents where practicable. The present measure had received the+ assent of the House of Commons and her Majesty's Go. vernment, and he hoped that their lordships would now read the bill a second time. Should any objections be made as to the details of the bill, they would be more advantageously discussed in committee. After a few words from Lord HARROWBY, the second reading was postponed till Thursday. JUVENILE CONVICT PRISONS BILL. This bill passed through committee. DRAFTS ON BANKERS BILL. This bill passed through committee. HAY AND STRAW TRADE BILL. The report on amendments to this bill was brought up. PAWNBROKERS BILL. This bill was read a second time. Their lordships then adjourned at half-past six. HOUSE Ok` COMMONS.—(YESTERDAY.) The SPEAKER took the chair at the usual hour. PRIVATE BUSINESS. The Lords' amendments to the following bills were considered and agreed to :—Canada Company, St. Ives and West Cornwall Junction Railway, and Shrewsbury Water. _ _ The followinz bills were severally read a third time and passed :—Clay Cross Water, Gloucester Gas (No. 2), Godley Lane Road, London and South-Western (Yeovil to Exeter), Sittingbourne and Sheerness Rail way, and Wainman's Estate. . Tha following bills were ordered to be read a third time :—Aberdeen and Scottish Midland Junction Rail way Companies Amalgamation; Conway and Llandudno Road ; Lymington Railway ; Salisbury Market Branch Railway and Market House ; Shrewsbury and Welch pool Railway ; West of Fife Mineral Railway ; West London and Crystal Palace Railway CORPORATION REFORM. Lnrd J. RUSSELL gave notice that to-marrow he would present a petition, signed by 4,000 persons, in favour of the bill for the reform of the Corporation of the City of London. FISHERY BOARD (SCOTLAND). Sir G. B. PECHELL moved for a return, in detail, of the several sums included in Vote No. 8, Civil Con tingencies. viz.: to the Commander of Princess Royal cutter, 2001. ; to the commander of her Majesty's steam vessel Jackall, 100/. ; to Marine Department, 18001.— Agreed to. ENCUMBERED ESTATES COURT. Col. GREVILLE asked the Attorney-General for Ireland if it was his intention to bring in a bill this session to continue the Encumbered Estates Commis- sion t The ATTORNEY-GENERAL for IRELAND said it was his intention to recommend the Government to continue the act under which the commission was con stittited. RETURN OF THE TROOPS. Sir C. WOOD wished to correct a statement he had made the other night with respect to the arrival of the Princess Royal at Malta with troops on board. He had not, when he made the announcement, seen the tele graphic despatch, but he had done so since, and it announced the arrival at Constantinople and departuie of the St. Jean d'Acre and Agamemnon, one with a regiment of the Coldstreams, and the other with a regiment of the Rifles o❑ board. The Princess Royal was at present at Constantinople taking out her lower deck guns in order to go up to take troops on board. PUBLIC PROSECUTOR, Mr. J. G. PHILLINIORE asked whether it was the intention of her Majesty's Government to bring forward a ny meaQure founded on the unanimous report of the com mittee of inquiry into the appointment of a public prosecutor? Sir G. GREY said it was not intended during the present session to introduce such a bill, but a bill with the above object would be brought forward early next session. WILLS AND ADMINISTRATIONS BILL. In l eply to Mr. HADFIELD, Sir G. GREY said the Solicitor-General would, to morrow, state the course he intended to pursue with respect to these bills. THE CIVIL SERVICE COMMISSION. Mr. KENDALL asked the Chancellor of the Ex chequer whether be could inform the house when the report of the committee would be laid on the table, and what had - been the ware of the delay , The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER stated Mr. M. GIBSON moved the third reading of this bill. Sir F. THESIGER moved, in clause 2, to leave out all the words from the beginning of line 7, down to end of line 14, and to insert these words :—" I, A. B. do truly and sincerely acknowledge, profess, testify, and declare in my conscience before God and the world that our Sovereign Lady Queen Vicoria is lawful ar d rightful Queen of this realm, and of all other her Ma jesty's dominions ands nintriee thereunto belonging. And I do swear that I will bear faith and true allegiance to her Majesty Queen Victoria, and her will defend to the utmost of 'my power against all traitorous conspiracies and attempts whets ever which shall be made against her person, Crown, or dignity. And I will do my utmost endeavour to disclose and make known to her Majesty and her successors all treasons and traitorous conspiracies which I shall know to be against her or any of them. And I do faithfully promise to the utmost of my power to maintain, support, and defend the succession of the Crown against all persons whatsoever, which succession, by an act in titulecl 'Au act for the further limitation of the Crown and better securing the rights and liberties of the sub ject, is and stands limited to the Princess Sophia, Elec• toress and Duchess Dowager of Hanover, and the heirs of her body, being Protestants.' And all these things I do plainly and sincerely acknowledge and swear accord ing to these express words by me spoken, and accord ing to the plain and common sense and understanding of the same words, without any equivocation, mental evasion, or secret reservation whatsoever ; and I do make this recognition, acknowledgment, and pro mise, heartily, willingly, and truly, upon the true faith of a Christian. So help rue God." His object in mov ing this amendment was to arrest a step which, accord ing to his view, would be of the most serious detriment to the public interest, and to bring the oath of abjura tion back to what it substantially was, and had existed without objection for 150 years, omitting from it those portions which were considered objectionable on the ground of their having ceased in their application. He and his friends had been taunted with not bringing for ward some definite measure on the subject of the ad mission of the Jews to Parliament. Now, they were not under the necessity of bringing forward a bill for the exclusion of the Jews, as they were included to gether ; and as to any modification of the oath of settle ment, they were not in a position to propose it. It was quite impossible to mix up the oath which ought to be required from Jews it they were to sit in Parliament, and which ought to be required from Christians. If they were mixed, Jews could be admitted to places in the Government to which it would be highly objection. able they should be admitted. This was felt on nre vious occasions, when clauses were introduced exclud ing Jews from certain positions, which showed how impossible it was to provide for the admission of Jews, by a simple arrangement of the oath of abjura tion. Again, even in taking a position in the Legis lature it would be neceicalary t' makes provision for their peculiar circumstances. He might be a member of committee, who respected Christmas-day and Good Friday. Why, for the sake of admitting the Jews, were they to omit all the important and significant portions of the oath On this point he might claim the vote of his right hon. friend the member for the University of Oxford, who on a previous debate had said that he was glad that the words, " On the true faith of a Christian " were used, fur Christian members, as a solemn pledge of their duty and religion. This was what he asked. He de manded that the oath, wescled of a sew objectionable terms, should be retained in it s i ntegr i ty, and that the question of the Jews should be separately treated. He was, however, prepared to go further, and to retain the words, "On the true faith of a Christian," as a distinct pledge that there was to be no thoroughfare to that house except to a Christian. He denied that this was a question of religious liberty. The impression was abroad that the house bad by decrees widened its doors to all religious persuasions, and that the Jews were the last to be ad mitted. Now there was no other measure of the kind except for the admission of Roman Catholics, who had been excluded from political rather than religious grounds. The Dissenters had never been excluded, and the mea sure by which the Quakers were allowed to appear was passed in the reign of George 11., and in the case of Mr. Pease, a committee distinctly decided that by the words of that act the affirmation of a Quaker would be re ceived as the passport to that house. The measures for dealing with the Jews were therefore the first for ad mitting any but Christians into the Legislature. It had been said that it was merely by an accident-- by the insertion of certain words in the Act of Ab juration—that the Jew was excluded from Parlia ment. He was surprised that the exploded fallacy had been revived. At the time the words sere used it was not intended to exclude the Jews, because there were then no Jews in England ; but it had been laid down by Baron Parke, in the case of Salomons, that the Legislature had never supposed even the possibility of any but Jews sitting in Parliament any more than Pagans or Mahornetaus. Hence the Legislature ordained an oath which none but Christians could take as a mat• ter of course. It had been said that during the reign of William 111. these words did not exist, as these words were not in the act ; but the Jews at that time were reckoned simply as aliens. Considering the question in the abstract, he admitted that all the subjects of a free State were eligible to civil rights ; but he denied that civil rights meant political privi leges. He was entitled to his property, to reli gious liberty, to equality before the law. But political power belonged to the State, to those only to whom the State had assigned them ; and if this were not so, there would be no right or justice in the political disqualifica tion which at present (misted. rherefore, no one could maintain that the right of the Jews to a seat in the Legis lature could be made to re't on these abstract principles. But it was said that the question was decided—that a Jew was even now admitted to civil office. He might be a subordinate magistrate, he might be mayor, sheriff, or ma gistrate. But these officers were under the law ; they were amenable to punishment if they violated it ; but the legislator was in this sense above the law ; he had no rule or law to guide him in his legislative action. He was obliged to go to other considerations—as to the moral fitness of tie Jews. Ile found that on the Thanks. giving-day the Lord Mayor and Aldermen went in state to St. Paul's Cathedral. There, seated on high, was one to whom that solemn service must have been a mockery or a farce. Were Jews to be admitted to the judicial bench they would have the same profanation over again. It was said that the Jew was admitted to a share iu the legislative power of the country by admitting him to the elective franchise. He denied that infinitesimal power given by the privilege of voting had any relation to the great power of the member of the Legislature. Theo retically or metaphysically there might be something in the argument, but practically it was a mere absurdity. It had been said, again, that when an important consti tuency like that of London had chosen a Jew for a repre sentative their decision ought to be attended to. This had been said to be the view of Archbishop Whateley, whose meaning at all times was at least clear, and who, in a recent publication, said that he would not consent to join issue on the question whether a man not a Chris tian should be a member of the Legislature, because this ought to be left to the electors. Now, the electors of London claimed to have their choice accepted, and seemed to insist that their choice was not to be interfered with. Now the constituency of Lon don were but a small portion of the whole constitu encies of the kingdom, and they had no right to dictate to the rest. If so, other places might choose clergymen, or aliens, and, on the same principle, insist on their ac ceptation by Parliament. After all, there remained the sacred ground, the religious element of the case, without which the rest was perfectly insignificant. This was the ground on which they really, as Christians, had the 'vantage ground, and which he would not consent to abandon. Apart from this, it was unimportant to hear if the Jews were aliens, what were their habits or if they regarded themselves simply as sojourners in this country or not. It had often been emphatically said that Chris tianity was part of the law of the land. If so, it was an anoinally that any one not a Christian should be allowed to take part in the making or altering of the laws of this Christian country. It had been said by a morning paper that morning, which generally dictated to them what their line of argument ought to be, that the admission of Jews to Parliament would not unchristianise the coun try more thauqt had,been =christianised already. There, was not the slightest resemblance between the case of persons mingling with our people, hr rather hying amongst us, but not of us, without concerning them selves about our religion, or interfering with the reli gious observances of the country, but enjoying the bene fits and blessings of a Christian country, and their hav mg the' privilege of seats in the Legislature, and to make laws for a Christian community. It appeared to him that it would be the most extraordinary state of things possible to conceive, and the noble lord the nianber for London was obliged to act inconsistent with his opinions in becoming an advocate for the Jews. The noble lord was deeply impressed with a sense of religion, and was a sincere believer in the Christian belief ; but unfortunately he was in a false position when, with those convictions strong on his mind, he was compelled to come forward in that house and advocate the cause of the Jews. The noble lord had on a former occasion given utterance to the sentiment that religion has, or ought to have, an in fluence on every man's actions, which of course he meant to refer to the Christian religion. That was the standard to which all our laws ought to conform, and the guile and governing principle of our legislation ; but did the noble lord really believe that he was preserving that prin ciple pure and 'simple by varying it with a little Mosaic? Laughter.) The hen, and learned gentleman then re ferred to the extraordinary combination in support of the bill. In the first place there were the advocates of civil and religious liberty—those who were generally Dissenters and opposed to the Established Church. Then there were a certain number of gentlemen who were of opinion that it would be very desirable to eman cipate the Church from the State, and thereby revive convocation in its original form ; and nothing would be more likely to advance that object than for Parliament once to pronounce the opinion that religion had nothing to do with their deliberations in that house by the ad mission of a Jew to a seat in the house, because if it be once admitted be could not understand how it would be possible to defend afterwards the continuance of a State establishment. These two parties were therefore bound up in that particular alliance with different motives, but possessing the same end. Associated with them were the Roman Catholics, who, of course, were no friends of the Establishmeat, and who were ready to assist the other to weaken and destroy the Establishment, and thus be advancing each their particular views, which were to be attained by the admission of Jews to Parlia ment. He trembled for the censequences that would ensue by the omission of the words "on the true faith of a Christian ;" for having once made this concession they must go on, and demands would be made by the infidel who was uninfluenced by any religious obligations at all, who hid but his consciet co, which was guided by what he;called his morality, to relieve him from all oaths, which they would be obliged to grant, finding it impos sible to stop in their downward progress. When he first entered that house he considered the taking the words referred to as part of his duty in a legislature, and as a badge of his Christianity, and that he would defend Christianity so entrusted to him, and not for the purpose of a crusade against other religions. He should no doubt be charged with being actuated by a persecuting and in tolerant spirit ; but he had no such intention or desire, his sole object being to defend the ark of Christianity against the intrusion of those opposed to it. He trusted the house would hold test possession of the faith, with out wavering, as inaugurating them to solemn and im portant duties, and not set the example t ) the people of their rulers being indifferent to Christianity, but preserve for them that respect which would always attach on themselves, and constitute the glory and happiness of this country. (Cheers.) Mr. BOWYER replied to the statements of the hon. and learned gentleman relative to the publication of the bulls referred to by him, which, he said, rested on the authority of Dr. M‘Gee, on which the house, he thought, would not like to place much reliance. The hon. and learned member said he had received a letter from Dr. Cullen, authorising him to state that the bulls in question were not published from any political object the Roman Catholic Church had in view, but as historical documents, and not as having any reference to our times, when the Stuart family did not exist. The Roman Ca tholics had no desire to bring in any of the Stuarts. (Hear, hear.) They were as loyal subjects as any the Queen had in any part of her dominions, of whatever re ligion they may be. (Hear.) The idea of their disloyalty was one of those absurd and ridiculous nightmares which the hon. member for Stamford and the two hon. mem bers for Warwickshire —(laughter)--and which the Ro man Catholic members did not condescend to answer, because they were so ridiculous and absurd that the goqd sense of the Protestant members of the house would not for a moment give credence or attach any weight to them. (Hear, arid laughter.) Lord J. RUSSELL said that the introduction of the bill by the hon. member for Manchester had enabled them to gain one more advantage with reference to the ques tion, because the hon. and learned gentleman (Sir F. Thesiger) had consented to the abandonment of the old oath of allegiance and theintroduction of a new one from which much was excluded, but sufficient retained to ex clude the Jews. The avowance that the oath could not be maintained in its present form was a concession of one of the many points those contended for who were desir ous to see the introduction of Jews into Parliament. The noble lord said that the hon. and learned member, by his amendment, proposed to load the oath with a number of superfluous words, and which were rendered unnecessary by the oath of allegiance. There was a time when Par liament thought it necessary, but whether wisely or not he would not they consider, to introduce into the oath of abjuration repetitions as to the rightful sovereign, when the people said William 111. was King de facto, and James 11. was King de jure, but there was row no neces sity for it. (Hear.) There was the same objection to the provision and securities introduced into the amendment with respect to the disclosing and making known all treasons and traitorous conspiracies, ner did he see the necessity there existed for the members of that house taking such an oath more than the people generally, espe• cially as provision was made for it in the oath of allegi ance. He was not aware of members of that house being likely to have any peculiar knowledge of traitorous con spiracies more than any other persons, but it was that secretaries of state and privy councillors might whose duty it was to make themselves acquainted with secret conspiracies, and take measures to counteract them. (Hear.) The hon. and learned gentlemen appeared to lay most stress on the words " on the true faith of a Christian"—(hear)—which there could be no doubt were not introduced into the old oath for the purpose of ex• eluding the Jews, but for the purpose of additional secu rity against the disloyalty of the Roman Catholics of the times, and which could n ever b e requ i re d un d er a mo narchy such as that at present existing in this country ; but if it was the desire of the house to effectually exclude the Jews, he (Lord J. Russell) knew of no more plain and simple way of doing it than by the retention of those words ; and to do so would be inflicting a great hardship on the Jews. (Hear.) It was necessary for the house to show some grounds of State necessity or State policy for excluding any British subject from the highest State honours which the favour of the Crown, and his capacity to discharge them, entitle him to fill. He contended that religious faith was no ground for so excluding a man ; and, secondly, that if it were so, these tests or oaths did not enable them to obtain the religious feelings of the members of the house. (Hear.) He knew nothing in the religious faith of a Jew that would prevent him doing his duty as a faithful member of the Legislature and main tain all the institutions of the country. (Hear.) The hon. and learned gentleman had referred to an opinion he (Lord J. Russell) expressed on a former occasion, that there was a religious obligation incumbent on tho mem bers of that house, and which he repeated ; but he was of opinion it was not secured by the wording of any oath. They all knew that Bolingbroke, after he had changed his views, would have taken this oath on his becoming a member of the Upper House, and would have uttered the words " On the true faith of a Chris tian" without any equivocation, and Gibbon had no difficulty in adopting them. The hon. and learned gentleman had admitted that the oath with those words was no security against a man who did not feel that his using them, though against his conscience, was an im moral act, and if that be so, by the adoption of the words the house had no security in respect of those who did not believe in the Christian religion. The effect of this was, that a man who felt a religious obligation, and would not deceive the house, but would act according to the religion he had been taught, was unfit to sit in that house, but a man who w o uld dis sem bl e — w h o was known by his writings to be opposed to every Christian feeling and sentiment, but would take the oath—would be trusted to have a seat in that house. He looked upon this exclusion as savouring of persecution for religion's sake. He had always based this question on the general ground of justice to the Jews, and he trusted that the smallness of the number of Jews in this country would not prevent them obtaining their rights. (Hear, and cries of " Divide.") Mr. WARREN said that the admission of Jews to the Legislature had during the last quarter of a century been repeatedly and earnestly urged upon them and as resolutely resisted, without reference to par'cy considerations, by the most distinguished men of the age, by as eminent unit en lightened statesmen, and by as devoted Christians as ever adorned either House of Parliament. Following, as he might be thought somewhat presumptuously to do, the noble lord who had just spoken, he would take that oppor tunity of saying from his heart that his own unworthy opinion was, that that noble lord was deserving of being classed amongst the latter number ; for prominent as was the part he had always taken in advocating the ad mission of Jews to the legislature, he believed him to be as sincere and hearty a Christian as ever spoke from either side of the house. The question, therefore, which had given rise to this difference of opinion must be one of serious difficulty, and involving considerations of proportionate weight and magnitude. He (Mr. Warren) had always felt a profound interest in this question, bad read everything that had been said upon it in both Houses of Parliament, and weighed most carefully and dispassionately the argu ments for and against it, being most sincerely desirous of forming a correct judgment upon the matter. For he hesi tated not to avow that he could not bear the sight of any class of his fellow-subjects unjustly denied or deprived of either a " right" or a " trust"—two words between which there was a fundamental distinction, which ought to be e p s r e o d p i e s r c l u y ss d i e o e n m s, e e da pe in ci a a t ll t y er if n f t t h r a a t n r s i c g e h n t a b n o d rn t e ha i dant importance. leo true Eng lishman could lo ok at per n t trust mind i wore e these e h sons so situated without being moved; and his sympathies would go out all the more readil y and ea g erl y if he found preferred with persevering modera • He would be disposed to look with a cer tthioendaenmdadnidgnfoitryj.ustice tain sternness at the reasons which were relied upon for ex. . ' • - eluding a British;born subject from a seat in the British Legislature, and he would not yieldie those reasons unless his conscience and his judgment were convinced of their overwhelming cogency. Such was the spirit, then, in which he approached for a very few minutes the discussion of the question before them. As to the Jews, so far from his (Mr. Warren's) feelings partaking of anything of preju dice against them, he regarded them with a feeling almost akin to awe as the most marvellous of the dwellers upon earth ; intermingling inoffensively, but never identifying themselves with other nations, but fulfilling and yearning after the accomplishment of their own grand and myste rious destiny. He would not think or speak of the Jews for one moment or on any consideration with levity. (Fleur.) He would not wrong them in act or in word, for if he were capable of doing so, though they might be true Jews, he should be no true Christian. (Cheers.) At the same time, if they were true to their respective faiths, he could not help cowing to a conclusion, which no reflections of his had been able to disturb, that there was in respect of qualifications, pretensions, and principles, a fatal in compatibility from their being brother legislators, regard being had to the nature and objects of legislation for a Christian state. But during the last 25 years, to satisfy a liberal and an enlightened people, whatever was an unjust restriction or disability upon the Jew had been removed. He now stood upon a level with the best of our fellow citi zens, in point of personal security and of social position. He was clothed with rank, hereditary rank and dignity. He sat in the chair of the magistracy ; and the office of chief magistrate of London was at that moment occupied by a distinguished friend of his, who was then within sound of his voice, and who filled it in a way that must command the respect and admiration of every man. (Hear.) (This allusion, 'it need scarcely be observed, was to the Lord Mayor, who was seated on one of the peers' benches with Baron Lionel Rothschild, and one or two other gen tlemen of the Jewish persuasion.) In addition to this, the Jew wielded a money power NV hich gave him vast in- Ifluence here, and enabled him to contro 'the greatest ope ' rations of foreign states. And so far ne religious freedom was concerned, why " he sat under his own vine and under his own fig-tree, and none dared: to snake him afraid." But, emboldened by those concessions, he now aspired to something higher, and demanded to become a legislator for Christian England. There, however (said Mr. 'Warren), I pause, and say, "Between you and Ina there is a great gulf fixed." I cannot help him. With the " true faith of a Christian" are bound up all my hopes of happiness here and hereafter ; but that which is everything tome is nothing to him, or it is, in truth, a stumbling-block lying in his way, whether he see it and appreciate it or not, whenever he would attempt to legislate for a Chris tian community. That which is heavenly truth to me is falsehood, imposture, and blasphemy to Lim. How then can we get on together ? It is for him to answer. Our motives, our objects are different; and how can we expect to convert the Legislature into a fountain which sends forth at the same place sweet waters and bitter? (Hear, hoar.) Disguise it as you may, the direct effect of the bill now before us is to obliterate those vital principles and differences to which we must look for the inspiration and action of the state, and to place the Legislature of Eng land upon a footing that it has never occupied before. It seeks to effect an organic change in our political struc ture - one influencing its whole character, constitution, and action. It seeks to change the characteristic distinc tion of our state and of its sovereignty, either by eliminat ing that sovereignty, an essential constituent, or by intro ducing into it a foreign, an incongruous and a destructive element. What is meant by the sovereignty of a state ? Its supreme power of legislation. Sovereignty and legis lation, then, are convertible terms. Wherever the power of legislation resides there is the seat of sovereignty. In the act of legislation sovereignty is seen in action, and as a s'a a is a moral being, as much as any of the individuals who compose it, so as in the case of individuals it is im pelled, influenced, and directed by given motives, ends, and objects. It has a character involving, prescribing, and guaranteeing its course of action. And what is the character, the great and glorious character, of our ancient English state ? It is Christian—professedly, essentially, exclusively Christian, and always has been so if there be any force in words, or any reality iu language to represent things. Founded and built up during a long succession of ages by Christians exclusively, it derives its character from their principles, from their feelings, from their opinion. The Holy Gospel has illuminated every chamber of the structure, and Christianity has enshrined itself in the very keystone of the arch of our laws and institutions. We legislate in its spirit and in its principles. No one has entered the legislative chamber except under an express pledge of fidelity to Christianity, or under circumstances absolutely and necessarily guaranteeing the same. We are summoned to the discharge of our duties by a writ which tells us that a prominent part of those duties con sist in legislating for the Church of Christ. We com mence our daily deliberations here with a prayer that those deliberations may be aided and blessed by the ador able Head of the Church. From a Christian people there ascend daily prayers on our behalf to that Head of the Church. And the prayers of that Christian people are as incense before Heaven, and have been hoard and answered ; or why have we become so great and glorious as we are? (Cheers.) Look again at the Sovereign. He cannot as cend the throne without giving the most public and solemn pledge comeeivable of his fidelity to Christianity. When Queen, Victoria ascended the throne of these realms, kneeling in the presence of all the people, and pleciug her hand upon and kissing the Holy Gospels, she swore, as all her ancestors had done, that she would do her utmost to " maintain the true profession of the Gospel." Now, if one can be permitted to entertain a momentary supposition of so dark a character, let sus imagine some future Sovereign coming to the throne, and objecting to take this oath its this form, and saying, " I will not maintain the true profession of the Gospel, be cause I believe it to be false. It does not bind my con science. I have no sympathies with it. I owe nothing to it. I fear nothing from it. Relieve me, therefore, from these words." Would that he a Christian king ? Would such a sovereign be permitted to ascend the throne of this ancient and glorious England? Never. And if he were pet - rnitted to do so, and were to join the other constituents of the Legislature, how could it be said that the Legislature was Christian ? Then, look at the other branches of the Legislature. No one has entered either House of Parliament for the last 150 years without either giving, on his solemn oath, an express pledge of his Christianity, or else being re lieved from doing so under circumstances which neces sarily and absolutely guaranteed his profession of the Chris tian faith. About Roman Catholics, for instance, there is no question ; and as to Quakers, Moraviaus, and Separa tists, why are they relieved from taking the oath ? Why, absolutely because of their scrupulous and reverential obe dience to a supposed command of their Divine Master, whom the Jew repudiates as a crucified blasphemer. This being so (proceeded the hon. and learned gentleman), he could not help expressing his dissent from the remark of the right hon. member for Oxford University (Mr. Glad stone) during a debate on this question in 1848. The right hon. gentleman said that, with whatever grief it might be said, it must, nevertheless, be admitted that the house had ceased to be of an exclusively Christian character. With the utmost respect for the right hon. gentleman, he (Mr. Warren) denied the assertion, and asked for evidence of its accuracy. He affirmed the contrary. He granted the la mentable fact that in the eagerness of a desire to possess a seat in that house, a gentleman might stand at the table and bo guilty of declaring that to be true which he alto gether disbelieved. He (Mr. Warren) could not help that. "To his own master he standeth or falleth;" and such per sons must answer for that matter before their Almighty Judge hereafter. There was no form of oath which could be devised or administered which impious men might not take falsely, or might not violate. (Hear, hear.) The ' bill before them challenged them deliberately and solemnly, with the eyes of all Christendom upon them, to discard the only visible safeguard against the obtru sion of the Jew into the Legislature, and not only of the Jew, bu ithe Mahomeceian thepagan, and worse than all, the professed and apostate infidel. Those convulsive efforts of the Jews to get rid of the words, so excruciating to him, "on the true faith of a Christian," what were those efforts but so many conclusive evidences of their inestim able value, and the paramount necessity for retaining them ? (The hon. and learned member was continuing his address, when he was interrupted with repeated cries of " Divide" from the Ministerial benches.) He had not often I troubled the house (he proceeded to say) since he had had the honour of having a seat there—(bear, hear)—and it was not his intention, as at present advised, to trouble it again for the remainder of the session. (Loud laughter.) He trusted, therefore, they would give him an opportsaity of offering some further observations, and they should be brief, upon this important subject. Ho then said—Let them conceive the idea of a state consisting exclusively of sincere and zealous Jews, and a sincere and zealous Chris tian coming forward, demanding to be admitted into the Sanhedr.in, and for that purpose requiring that the oath imposed upon the member, " on the true faith of a Jew," should be abrogated. Did they think it would be done ? No; it would be met by the argument that it would ren der them false to their faith. Well, if that were so, were not the two cases parallel? And what became of the argu ment as to the small number of the Jews that might be admitted to our Legislature. Once admit a solitary Jew as such, after having been challenged to do so, and the prin ciple was conceded. The fortress surrendered at discre tion, and the Jew would proclaim the triumph ho had achieved to the uttermost parts of the earth—even in those parts where we were most busily engaged in propagating the Christian faith. (Cries of " Divide.") Before resum ing his seat he would ask the house to consider the perilous precedent they were about to sanction. Why did they exact an oath from the Sovereign ? Why did they exact an oath from the Legislature ? Purely and simply because by the very act of becoming such they were incorporated into the sovereignty of the State, and thereby individually contribute to form its character and direct its action. And as when once a person was placed in that capacity he was, SO to speak, irresponsible to men and acting under moral sanction alone, it was but fair and just that those who were invested with such authority should have the highest possi ble sanction for professing such and such a be lief, an d f o r determiningif they ree released s t o o d p t u h r e s u j e e such w f from and each such a g the line C o cause he said, " I do not believe in Him who m you regard as God," then he implored the house earnestly to consider what answer it was to give by-and-bye, when they saw a different character coming to them with this bid in hi s hand, and saying, "Admit me, too; you have admitted the Jew, who denies the God of the Christian. I do not believe in the God of the Jew—l believe in no God at all —admit me without an oath." What answer were they to make ? The bill before them was a weapon with which they would be coerced into making that concession also ; and, if so, could it be longer contended that the Parliament of England would be entitled to the term of "a godly Legislature?" Rather would it not have become a pro fessedly godless Legislature ! He could see raspy disas trous consequences which must flow from the adoption of this bill, but he would mention only one. The right hon. ' gentleman (Mr. Gladstone), in the speech to which he had already referred, said that the direct effect would be to separate the Church from the State, and he (Mr. Warren) would ask any gentleman who thought that the two should be united, as being essential for the welfare of the kingdom, whether he was prepared to sanction such a measure? (Hear, hear.) He had now done. He had found it im possible to let this, perhaps the only, opportunity slip of addressing the house upon the question, without offering his most earnest entreaties to all who were about to give their votes to-night, that they would thoroughly consider the consequences, immediate and remote, direct and in direct, of saying when challenged by the Jew, the words " on the true faith of a Christian" were to be no longer regarded, and that any and every ono might sav e A wi t, in The house then resumed the committee on the Cam. bridge University Bill. Ou clause 27. Mr. STAFFORD moved the omission, atline 20 of clause 27, of the words " without prejudice to any existing in terest of any such member of such college." The object of his amendment was to enable the governing bodies of the colleges at Cambridge to shorten the time for which fel lowships might be held, even by the present holders should they deem that the interests of religion and learning re quired the change. Mr. BOUVE ME said that these words were in the Oxford, and had been introduced into the bill from a respect for the vested interests which the masters and fellows of colleges had in their offices and fellowships. He believed that in the long run the ultimate advantage of these institutions would be promoted by respecting those interes s. The amendment was negatived. Mr. HEYWOOD moved to insert after the word " sta tutes," the words "in the English language." Mr. BOUVERIE thought the .matter might be safely left to tho Cambridge authorities. If they liked to make their statutes in the Latin language, it was to be hoped that Cambridge men , i nc l u di ng his hon. friend, would be able to ie ti them. He thought it would be better that the statutes should be made in English, but he did not think it desirable for Parliament to make a stringent rule on the subject. The committee divided, when there were— Fur the amendment.. Against ~ 5S Majority The amendment was therefore negatived. Mr. WIGRAM moved, after the word " following," to insert the N 1 ords "due regard being always had t o the main designs of the founder or donor." The principle he wished to introduce was perfectly clear. Parliament, although it had the power, had no moral right to interfere with the in tentions of the founders. That was the principle recognised in the Courts of Equity, and Parliament ought to follow it. fte this principle was one of great importance he hoped her Majesty's Government would give it due consideration. Mr. BOUVERIE admitted that the question was one of great importance, but he thought the efficiency of the clause could only be maintained by allcwing it to stand without the amendment of the hon. and learned gentleman, The main design of the foundation of Queen's College, for example, was to pray for the souls of the fouuoers, but a change in the religion of the country ren dered that design impassible to be carried out. There were other foundations in which there were similar designs which could not be carried out. Take King's College for ex ample. That was ono of the gravest of the abuses of the University of Cambridge. For what could be worse than that great foundation, with revenues amounting annually to 26,000/. a-year, should turn out, as it had done, only three bachelors of arts a year. The object of the founder of King's College was, amongst other things, the extirpa tion of heresies. Now, what were the heresies they had to extirpate? The members had to swear that they would not consent to any alteration in the statutes, and those statutes pros-id , d that they would do their best to oppose the spread of John Wycliffe, and of Regina' Peacock, Bishop of Chichester. which were now tho doctrines of the Church of England. (Hear.) Such were the main designs of two of the colleges. and it ;was now too late to say that the main designs cf the founders must be insisted on. It must necessarily come to pass that the objects of the foun ders would become useless and mischievous, and in such cases those who wished to improve them had nothing to guide them but public utility. Unless the designs of foun ders were interfered with in that spirit, they could not be interfered with at all ; and if the amendment of the hon. and learned gentleman were adopted, the main points of the bill would be lost sight of. Indeed, one of the objects of the amendment would be to restrict the colleges as tb now acted, for it was very well known that though co statutes were in existence, the colleges did not in all case maintain them. (Hear.) Mr. WALPOLE thought the expressions of the right hon. gentleman were somewhat strained. If it were true that the amendment would restrain the colleges them selves, it would have proved true in the case of Oxford, but that was not the case • and no complaint s , th a t h o was aware of, had been made. The right hon. gentleman must remember that the endowments of the university were as much the property of the university as the property of an individual belonged to him ; and the rights of property would be interfered with if the endowments of the univer sity were in any way touched upon. It was said that pub lic advantage demanded that an alteration should bo made, but who was to be the judge of the manner in which the alterations should be made—the colleges or the commis sioners ? Mr. BOUVERIE—Both. Mr. WALPOLE held that that was an entirely new principle, and that the whole power should rest with the colleges to whom the property belonged, with the sanction of the visitors. It such power was given to the commis sioners, it would be a greater power than was ever con ferred before upon persons under such circumstances. The right hon. gentleman had cited one or two cases of abuse, such as praying for the souls of the founders, and in those cases he was acting upon the exceptions where he ought to apply the rule. In that case, praying for the souls of the founders was one of the designs, but certainly not the main design, as praying for the souls of the founders was now impossible, and the right hon. gentleman need be under no apprehension on the point. He complained that, by the clause as it originally stood, the house would be delegating the power to alter the trust on which the property was given, which would prove fatal to charity and benevolence. He entreated the house to have a respect for those trusts for which people had given their money. If they aban doned that principle they would strike • a heavy blow at the charitable intentions of founders and benefactors in cuture. -16 Mr. HEYWOOD opposed the amendment. As to pre• venting persons giving donations to such institutions, he thought it would be a very useful occupation for the Legis lature to see how it could prevent people from giving those donations, which were generally a loss to the donors' families, and were in most cases made out of vanity in order that the donors might see their names printed in gold letters, (Laughter.) Mr. WHITESIDE contended that if a person left money to a university or a college for the purpose of teach ing youth in the principles of Christianity, that trust ought to be observed with respect. The university had many valuable endowments, and he could not understand that they owed their existence to vain and silly men. All he could say was, that he hoped the number of such men would be rapidly increased. Mr. J. G. PHILLIMORE defended the importance of the university trusts, which, in the words of Chancellor Kent, he held to be the most meritorious that could be entrusted to man. He deprecated auy attempt ruthlessly to tear them to pieces. Mr. CHAMBERS confessed to some difficulty in under standing the object of the proposed amendment. If the clause were agreed to it would be impossible to carry out the provisions and wishes of the founders. Lord PALMHRSTON said that nothing could be fur ther from the objects or effects of the clausa than those re ferred to by the hon. member, and the amendment, if agreed to, would really defeat the purposes and great uses of the educatiostal establishments at Cambridge. Mr. WALPOLE contended there were no words in the clause which would give to the commissioners power to carry out the very objects for which the institutions at Cambridge were founded, viz., the diffusion of sound learning and the promotion of Christian knowledge. Dr. J. PHILLIMORE denied the value of the test, which had been sought to be drawn from the fact that but four of the Westmir ster scholars had obtained follow ships. As the amendment was in effect the same as that introduced into the Oxford University Bill, he should give it his cordial support. Mr. HENLEY supported the amendment, on the ground that it would tend to carry out the main object of the founders, leaving the minor details to be dealt with by the commissioners. Mr. FORTESCUE entertained an objection to the in. F , ertion of the words, on the ground that different mean ings might bo attached to them, according to the opinions or feelings of the persons who might have to carry out the provisions of the bill, and would in all probability seriously affect the working of the meamre. After a few words from Mr. WIGAN, the committee divided, when there appeared— For the amendment .................. . ...... 78 Against it... ...... .................. Majority against th e amen d men t ... —l9 Mr. HEY WOOD proposed tho insertion of the ward 43 " headship" in the clause, in order that the headship might be considered as placed on the same footing as fel* lowship. Mr. BOUVERTE did not consider the amendmeo would aid in rendering the bill more effective. The committee divided, when the numbers were— For the amendment 4l Against it 145 M, , j 'ray Mr. HEYWOOD then moved a further amendment, having for its object the introduction of modern studies and practical science into the regular course of study. .0 had been proposed in Magdalen college that one-fifth of the fellowships s hould be set apart for modern studies ; his amendment tended to the same end. Mr. BOUVERIE said that the object was a good one, but the question was, how it was to be carried out. The colleges could carry out the principle by the present pro• visions of the bill. The committee divided, when there appeared— For the amendment Against it ........................................ 111 t; Majority against the amendment ' Mr. HEY WOOD moved the addition of A grub-meet
