Letters from Liverpool state that the Cotton Marktt yesterday closed with a very animated ap pearance, and priers were quoted at a slight ad vance. The saes were estimated at 8,000 bales. In the Railway Share Market there were only a few transactions, and prices were w:thout altention. The. advice; from Paris received this morning contain the official leturn3 relative to the Trade and Navigation of France for the month of June. These show that the revenue derived from the im port duties was 17,201,325 francs against 16,357,148 francs in , the same month of 1856, and 1 7,816,982 francs in 1855. The imports of gold and silver were 76,266,640 francs, while the ex ports were 62,238,940 franc, so that the stook of the precious metals had been augmented 4,027,700 francs. During the past six months the naviga tion has greatly increased. The entries. were 12,461 ships of 2,051,280 tons against 11,552 ships of 1 ,803,339 tons in 1856. The clearances were 8 ,205 ships of 1,338,547 tons against 6,991 ships and 1,114,266 tons in 1856. At the meeting of the Cobra Copper Mining C ompany a dividend of 1/. per share was decla-ed. A report has been issued this morning by the Directors of the National Discount Company, which is viewed with much dissatisfaction. The rates of exchange for bills drawn on the Continent were rather steady yesterday afternoon. There is still a moderat demand for discounts in L ombard -street, but as accommo'lat:on can be ob tained on first class bills at a fraction under 51 per _ . cent., the applica`ions at the Bank are understood to be very limited. At the same t:me the resources of that establishment are believed to be improving, although during the last two or three days there have been fewer sales of gold to the authorities, and hence an impression exists that the official rate wall soon be lowered to 5 per cent., provided no a dverse movement occurs to render such a measure Imprudent. At the Stock-Exchange loans are still obtained on comparatively easy terms. The directors of the Crystal Palace Company have issued a report in which they intimate that at the forthcoming meeting a resolution will be sub mitted to enable them to create Debenture Sock to the amount of 250,0001 , to carry a perpetual Preference interest of 6 per cent. The pro ceeds are to be applied to the following p ur _ poses, viz. —lst, in paying off the balance of 64,2181. Is. due on the original purchase of land ; 2d, in discharging the sum of 68,7991. 7s. Bd. due to capital account ; 3d, in paying off the existing debentures in the hands of the public as they fall due, viz., 114,7381. 10s. At the half-yearly meeting of the London Life Association held this day, the accounts were pre sented and showed the following results :—Receipts 185,0801. 198. 5d., and the payments 171,249/. 17s. 10( . 1., le av i ng a b alance of 13,8301. ls. 7d.

S ome eu s lo ll took place when the accounts were I passed. A dec l ine of to per cent. has taken place in the Market for Public &curiae; to-day, in conse quence of speculative sales. The operators are evi dently getting nervous, as theti ale approaches for the announcement of the overland mail. The transact ions have not been numerous, but they are mosdy of an adverse character.

MARLBOROUGH-STRE CAUTION TO DRUNKEN CABMEN, —William Philips, a cabman, was charged before Mr. Bingham with being intoxicated while in care of his cab and wish being un ablo to take care of it. Police-constable C 165, stated that about one o'clock that morning he was on duty in Leicester-square when be saw the prisoner in the act of trying to get on the box f his cab. He was in a state of intoxication, and wit ness endeavoured to persuade him not to get up but to lot some one else tike the cab to his stable. He insisted upon driving. Ile got on the bix and drove off, at a short distance witness saw him fall off the box. The horse then ran away and the cab came in c)ntaet NI a lamp-post from the effects of which it was smashed to pieces. The prisoner got up. Witness ran after the cab and stopped the horse. He then took the prisoner into custody. He was seriowly injured about the face. (His face exhibited the effect of the fall from his box.) The prisoner produced his license, and said it was the first time he was in trouble. Mr. Bingham observed that his license showed he had not been fined before as it was not endorsed. It was fortunate for him he had not been previously fined, for had he been he (the magistrate) would have sent him to pri.on fur a month. The prisoner was sent for 14 days to the House of Correction with hard labour. SOUTHWARK. ROBBECY BY A SERVANT.—Sarah Woodmansee, a young girl, was charged with robbing her master. The prisoner, when placed at the bar, so bbed piteously, , . Mr. John HillP, a merchant's clerk, of County-terrace, 011 Kent-road, said the prisoner had been in his service for ab.:ut a month, and then left. Soon after she had gone he missed several things, amongst others a sheet, a silver pencil.case, a gol i ditto, and two necklaces. The prisoner had alto taken away a bunch of keys, which prevented him finding out the full Extent of his loss. When she left his house she had not gone home to her parent. but had gone to lodge in County-terrace street. O u her boy being searched at that place, an old purse was found, containing some of the beads off the necklaces stolen. He bad given information to the police and she was taken into custody. He believed her parents to be very respec4tble persons, and thought she was led to commit the robbery by being leagued with some y•:ung man. She had been very unkind to her parents, and that was his principal reason in giving her into custody. The magistrate said be shoull remand the case for a few days in order to find what had become of the pro perty. - A - respectable man came forward and offered himself as bail for her reappearance. The magistrate said he had no objection, and aceep• ted the bail. THAMES. EXTRAORDINARY CONDUCT.— George Farrell, 28, an Irishman, whose face was in a terribly disfigured state and his nose smashed, was brought before Mr. Yardley, charged with being drunk and disorderly, and assaulting Thomas Tarlton, a tailor, of No. 26, Lower Chapman street, and tearing his coat. He was also charged with assaulting Joseph Walker, a police constable, No. 213 H, in the execution of his duty, and tearing his uniform coat to pieces. The prisoner, who was without a coat, bat, or necker chief, had only a few dirty rags and his blue shirt on. The complainant said the prisoner came to his house drunk last night, and mode a disturbance, and when he told him to leave the place he made use of the most vituperative language, attacked him like a madman, and after striking him tore his coat from his back. He seized the prisoner, ar.d after a great struggle with him, gave him into custody. Mr. Yardley—How came the prisoner's face in that condition ? Witness—l don't know, indeed, sir. Mr. Livingston, chief usher of the court, said the pri soner was at this court yesterday (Tuesday) afternoon, before Mr. Selfe, and charged an American seamen with assaulting him. The party charged was allowed to com pensate the prisoner, who said he had formerly be longed to the Land Transport Co r p s .

On the consideration of till L-prde' Amendments to this bill, which was introduced in reference to the Red path frauds, Mr. SPOONER objected to the Lords' Amendments which woul l put the preference shareholders on an equa lity with ordinary shareholders, and completely abrogate the title under which the preference shareholders hel shares. The preference shareholderi had a right to be paid 5 p=r cent. per annum out of tbs profits before any other dividends were peid, but if the Lord,' Amend- merits wera agreed to, the 2 60,00 C/. Redpatli's frauds woul Ibe paid first. The preference s'aareholders would by these amendments only receive this year ha'f a year instead of a year's dividend, having to take their chance with the ordinary shareholders i what remained for the payment of a dividend. The Igislation now proposed woull shake the confidence of the public in preference stock. He moved the omission of the L)rde' amend ments. Mr. A. TURNER seconded the motion. He consi dered a great principle of conotnerobil honour was in volved in this question. Engla , .(l%; commercial honour had hitherto stood very high, and he call id on the house to be cautious bow they adopted such repudiatoiy prin. ciptei as those involved in the amendments under consi dorati Mr. NEWDEGATE said that ttm pint involved was a very men and important one. It ought to be decided by a court of 14w. He should, however, support the motion. Mr. BAILLIE, chairman of the committee before whom the prefereccs shareholders' claims were sent, said that the question before the committee was confined to the payment of the current half-year's dividetsi, and they reported that the preference shareholders were en titled to their guaranteed dividend if a surplus remained after the payment of the Redpath fraud. The ease had been somewhat altered since the comrnitee reported, because the directors had now a second half-year's divi• deed in hand. The effect of the lord,' amendments was to give the preference shareholders a dividend, if any re rnained after th e paymen t o f th e Redp et h f rau d s - ut o f he profits of the year. In that respect they would be placed on an equahty with the ordinary shareholders. After some remarks from Mr. -... n EADLAM, Mr. J. EWART, and Mr. W. BROWN, Mr. J. DENISON (chairman of the Great Northern Railway) said that the question was ,investigated by a committee of the Heti e of Commons, and also by a co,n reittee of the Koine of Lords, before whom the preference ~ h arthelders appeared by counstl, and after full conside ration the Lords confirmed the dec ran of the Commons. The amendments olicted to were introduced by the House of Lords a ith a view cf equitably settling the question and to prevent litigation. The directors at first proposed to capitalise the Redpath fraud, and throw the loss over a series of years, but. L )rd Redesdale, the chairman of the Howe of Lords' Committees, insisted on the frauds being paid'out of revenue. There was a great difference between preference and guaranteed stock. The meaning of the forever was, that if there was a profit they should after the payment of the expenses of the line be first paid their dividend out of the surplus earnings of the line. The legal points at issue between the directors and the preference shareholders was whether the latter, having only received part of their usual dividend in 1856, in e msequence of these frauds, were entitled to claim the payment of the difference out of the earnings of 1857. If they bad that power, preference share holders would be, in fact, g,uarauteedsbareloolders. It was with the view of settling the question, awl to prevent litigation, as he bad already said, the Lords' amend ments bad been introduced into the bit. No dividend could be paid until the question was settled. Mr. LOWE said that the house was not bound by the decision of either of the co mmittees, and that . it was competent for the house to reconsider the question. It appeared to him that the committees cernreitted an error in entering into the question of what was Cr was not the rights of the preferend and ordinary share hol lers. (Hear, hear.) The question ought not to have been decided by the committees, but by a court of law. (Hear, hear.) By disagreeing with the Lerds amend ments the house would leave the question in that posi tion without preluding the rights of either class of shareholders. (Elear, hear.) Mr. FITZROY differed from the hon. member for .Kidderminster in reference to the powers of the coin mittees relative to this question, and he said that the preference shareholders cent before the cerninittees un der the knowledge that they were to be treated in the manner proposed by the Lords amendments. After a few words from Mr. BRISCOE, and Mr. P. W. MARTIN, The Lords amendments were negatived without a division, Mr. E. DENISON, chairman of the Great Northern Railway, declining to go to a division on the motion, the feeling of the, house being against the adoption of the Lords amendments. PUBLIC CHARITIES BILL. Mr. HARDCASTLE moved the second reading of this bill, the object of which was to diminish the expense consequent upon the change of trus tees of public charities to which buds had been be queathed, and to enable such trustees to form them selves into corporations. The report of the Caarity Commission showed that the public charities possessed 444 000 acres of land, produsirg a rental of between 800,0001. and 900,0001. at the date of the commission, and at the present time to upwards of 1,000,0001. per annum. The average rental of all the charities in the country was about 401., but there were many hundreds whose rental did not amount to 401., and the results were twofold. In some cases the charity was put to great loss by the appoinment of new trustees, from its re quiring a deed for the purpose which did not cost less, one way and another, than 101 Another re sult which often acted disastrously was the irregular appointment of new trustees, or not at all, and the won sequence was that sooner or later the charity lapsed. He proposed to get rid of the existing evil, by the appoint ment of a registrar-general of public accounts, with an office in London attached to that of the Registrar- General of Births, Marriages, and Deaths. The majority of the existing board it was proposed should have the option of taking up their deeds and depositing them with the registrar-general upon the payment of a small fee, not exceeding 31., and by this payment the charity would become registered, and would secure the appoint ment of a succession of trustees as might be necessary from 'deaths or removals. The fees it was thought would be sufficient to make the new office self-support ing. The hon. member for Oxfordshire (Mr. Henley) had expressed an opinion that he considered that in the establishment of HO many petty corporations individual responsibility of the trustees would be destroyed. He acknowledged that, as the bill at present stood, it was open to that objection, but he thought it m i g ht b e reme died in committee. lie hoped the house would agree to the second reading of the bill. Sir J. TROLLOPE objected to the bill, on the ground that it ignored the existence of the Commission ers of Charity—that it ,was a taxing bill, and that the expenses.l of the Court of Chancery were not so heavy as to warrant the machinery proposed by this bill. He moved its second reading this day six months. Mr. MASSEY said that he thought the objection of the right boo, gentleman the member far Oxfordshire (Mr. Henley) was a valid objection to the bill. He did think that the bill would reduce the expenses connected with these corporations, and therefore he could not con sent to its second reading. There was a bill now before a committee of the House of Lords relative to filling up vacancies in the management of trusts, and it was only reascnahle that they should wait the result of that mea sure before considering another proposition on the sub ject. The second reading of the bill was negatived without a division. MARRIED WOMEN BILL. Sir E. PERRY withdrew the second reading of this bill in consequence of the absence of learned member-, whose presence was necessary for a full legal dis cussion of the merits of the bill. Ile therefore moved that it be referred to a select committee. As the hou e, it was sail, would not rise before the 20th of August, he thought the committee would have an op portunity of meeting several times before that time, and consider the provisions of the bill. The motion was agreed to. TENANT RIGHT (IRELAND) BILL. On the motion for the second readinlof this bill, Mr. MAGUIRE presented a number of petitions (4, Jtil, Y 22 5 I 857, L I 4 ~' 'roe , rilacee in Ireland. which the hon. member, though an Irishman, found difficulty in pronouncing, is favour of the bill, and afterwards moved, in con,ennence of the hon. gentleman who introduced the bill no 1 eager bring a member of the h•mee, that the order fit its second reading should be read and discharged. He urged the importance of the suljeet, which he consi dered could only be amicably settled by the Government taking it up. The present state of the law relative to landlord and tenant in Ireland deprived the Government of the means of recruiting the army in cases of emer gency from its causing emigration. The number of p titions that had been presented to the house in favour ,it such a measure, showed the feeling of the peep'e of Ireland on the subject, and he asked the Government to take it under their serious consideration, Mr. BAGWELL also urged on the Government the necessity of their legislating on the suljeet in the course of next session. Ile state f that from 1851 to 1857, a period of undoubted prosperity, the population of Ire land had decreased, principally by emigration, 754 334. The O'DONOGHOE expressed a hope that Govern ment would state their intentions with reference to the subject. l'lr. ffATCHELL expressed a similar opinion. He believed the bill of the hon. gentleman the late member for Mayo, gave general satisfaction to the people of Ireland. The Irish members were almost unanimous to its favour. Thera was no division in the Irish party relative to " tenure" and " compensation," therefore le hoped the hon. gentlemen would not resist the appeal ,f Ireland, but introduce a measure on this sut ject. next session. Mr. GREER considered the Government bad ne elected their duty in not taking up this subject. Until they did so and legislated, the people of Ireland w , ul.l not be able to take advantage of that career of pros perity that appeared to be opening for Ireland. Mr. H. HERBERT said that he felt certain that if hen. members connected with Ireland turned their at. tention to the question during the recces, and were fair and moderate in their demands in any bid they might introduce next session, her Majesty's Government would give the important subject their serious consideration. Mr. STAFFORD said that the statement of the Irish Chief Secretary amounted in fact to this, that acnong.t the various subjects they had promised to consider and introduce nor'; session, this subject had not been considered worthy their consideration. The order for the second reading of the bill was then read and dieenarged. BURIALS ACT AMENDMENT BILL. The committee on this bill was resumed. Mr. MASSEY . moved the following new clause:— "In any burial ground provided under the powers of the acts hereinbefore recited or this al% respecting which one of her Majesty's Principal Secre!aries of Sate shell have certified that the necessary provisions have been complied with, it shall be lawful for the incumbent of such parish, cr his curate, or such duly qualified person as such incumbent may authorise, to bury in such burial ground prior to the consecration thereof." The hon. gentleman said thaethe clause had met with the approval of the ,:ighest ecclesiastical authority, and that it was Framed with reference to the Swansea and another case that had been before the public. Mr. GLADSTONE said that the clause was not just:fled by the circumstances so far as the committee uhderztood them, nor was it free from obj•.ctibns of the gravest character, which the hon. gentleman appeared not to have anticipated. This clause proposed a More important innovation in ecclesiastical law than bad been proposed within the memory of the eldest person living. The grievance complained of by members of the Church ~f E:gland was that they c ;old not by the present law he buried in unconsecrated ground with the rites of the Church of England ; but this clause would nob remedy that. grievance. The clause before the committee pro posed to give incumbents the power of burying iu ma c )n , ecrated ground, but it did not make it compulsory on them to do so. If they refused to bury in unconse crated ground with the rites of the Church of England, they could not be compelled to do so by this clause, and thereLre its operation would he Lft to their caprice. He admitted legislative remedy was necessary in certain clses, but it should be strictly confined to them. This clause would give incumbents the power of standing at the gates of burial grounds, and refuse the burial of per sons except they were satisfied as to the deceased's habits of life and religions convictions. Mr. DILLWYN referred at ROMS length to the dis pute between the Didion and the Burial B , ard of S vansea, rtlitive to the consecration of the new burial ground, which he said there was no chance of being amicably settled. Thu burial board contended thlt they had corn[ lied with the requirements of the act, but it was denied on the part of the bishop. The refusal of the bishop to consecrate the ground had the effect of driving Churchmen out of the Church. Churchmen had to be buried without funeral cites unless 'hey were per formed by dissenting clergymen, and it caused much ill feeling amongst the parishioners of S san,ea. Sir t 4, Heath cote, Mr. Newdegate, Mr. B. Hope, ar: L d Hr. Spooner opposed the clause ; Mr. Hadfield, and 'Air. Saliibury supported the cause Mr. M. WILLIAMS hoped the c:ause would be withdrawn. Mr. MASSEY said that the clause was proposed to get ri lof the scandals that at present exited with re ference to the Church in consequence of the conduct of two right reverend prelates, which hal ha 1 the effect of depriving inhabitants of certain parishes of the privilege that had existed from time immemorial, that of burial in consecrated ground. Toe hon.-gentleman_ sai(i that the di.putes had not arisen from the conduct of the burial boards. He hal some special knowledge on the bub ject,and hehad no hesitation in saying Vgatthe burial boarls had acted in a respectful and conciliatory spirit. The clause was a permissive one, and thinking it would remedy the evdr complained of, he asked the committee to agree to it. He, denied that he was proposing inno vations in tho law, seeing that the Earl of Shaftesbury's bill permitted the rites of the Church of England to be performed in Exeter Hall on Sunday evening;, which was unconsecrated ground. If this clause failed in its °Eject, he thought he should be justified on a fu'ure day in ciminv to the house for more stringent powers. Mr. PULLER, objected to the clause, and as the Government did not fed disposed to withdraw the clause he moved that the chairman do report progress. Mr. McISSET considered it would be better to coma to a decision on the clause at once than postpone it to a futura day.(Hear, hear.) Mr. PULLER paid his object in making the motion was to induce the Government to reconsider the clause. The motion was then withdrawn. Mr. HARDY considered it would be better for Go vernment to withdraw the clause, and introduce another that should define what was a burial ground. The CIIA.IRMAN then put the motion that the clause be read a second time. The committee divided. The numbers were— For the motion Against it Majority —39 Mr. RIDLEY then moved an amendment that on the receipts of the inspector's certificate the bishop of the diocese should consecrate the burial ground, and that it should be lawful. &c. Mr. MASSEY objected to the amendment. The [amendment was subsequently withdrawn. and the eause ordered to stand part of the bill, after a discussion in which it was stated that the clergymen of the Church cif Epgland would be allowed to use their own discreti m under thi3 clause as to what form of burial service they would ts , e in unconsecrated ground, without rendering themselves liable to a breach of Church discipline. Several now clauses were added, and the bill passed through committee. MUNICIPAL CORPORATION BILL. This bill as amended was avreeil to. BANKING BILL.

The committee met this morning at 1 o'clock, when evidence was taken on the part of the sitting member. The first witness called was the Rev. Mr. Russell, Con gregational minister at Weymouth, who deposed that he wai present when Mr. Campbell (sitting member) spoke to his butler about the 101. cheque given to him, and which the witness Viall said bad been given to him to get changed, out of which he received 31. for three pairs of Flippers, when Mr. Campbell asked his butler what become of the cheque he became much con fused, and on Mr. Campbell bn3ming angry he took out of his pocket 81. and some silver as the change.

Woman's Story' is a title very truly indicative of the manner and matter of this book. To trace the effects of early training on the character of woman, to exhibit her in her innermost emotions of pride, and love, and affection—to portray her relations to those domestic ties which form so important a portion of woman's c xistenco —this, especially, falls within a woman's province, and the task is accomplished by a very high effort of the novelist's art, in Mrs. Hall's pleasant work. The work is a tale of powerful pathos and domestic tragedy, and the moral is as high a one as the most rigid censed. could demand. In a srord, there is in A Woman's Story " that which will attract the hearts of women and of men t oo —which will carry their interest undiminished to the close, and leave them with something worth pon dering upon when the tale is finished,"— John Bull.

TURNPIKE TRUSTS (IRELAND) BILL. Tnis hilt was read a third time nod passed. TRANSFER OF LAND. Lora St. LEONA.R DS called the a'tention of the boasts to the measures proposed for facilitating the trans fer of land, and laid on the table of the house a bill for simplifying titles to land. The learned lord then said that in no other country could a man settle his lend upon himself and his children, and remain in the full enjoy ment of it himself after making that settlement. It bad heed said that a title to land should be as portable and negotiable as a bank note, but he hoped never to see the day when a man osuld put his title deeds in his cigar cafe, and deal with his lead in that summary manner. His lordship then gave the house a conci-e history of the system of conveyancing, showing the diff, rent modes of transfer in eperation from the feudal times down to the reign of Henry VIII. He then described the devices adopted by the priests to get lands into the possession of the Church improperly by means of the creation of treats, and how those devices, which were contrary to the Statute of Mortrnain had been sought to be frustrated by the 27th Henry VIII., entitled the Statute of Uses. Since that time various charges had taken place, arising from the exigencies of the times and the alterations in the customs of the country. It had been occasionally proposed that land should pass by a simple entry of the transfer in a public register, but that had always been opposed by landowners, who objected to their mortgsges and sales being made public. One of the great of jections to the present system was that a purchaser of land was always liable to what were termed equitable rights, pro vided he had notice of toe rights being in existence at the time of purchase. The effect of this was that if a purchaser had a dishonest atterney, the latter might receive the notice and conceal it from hie client, and the silent immediately afterwards be deprived of the land for which he might possibly have given his whole fortune. It was now time that such a system was prevented, and property in land placed upon a more sure basis. All attempts to establish a general registration of property for the whole country had up ti the }.resent - time been failures. His opinion eras, that a general registry would lead to mere expense, and be productive of less real advantages than the present sy-stern of conveyancing. Any attempt to establish a system of complete r-gietration would, he felt convinced. be a mere sham, attended, however, with a sad reel ty to beth . v,ndc.r and purchaser. The w reel olject of this proposal as to MI:CO the transfer and ea'e of landed property as easy and as simple ae affsir as the sale er transfer of a railway share, or a few hundred pounds of stock. But if this were accomplished, it would be at the E x-)Ense of the loss of the power to haled pro prietors of making settlements on the;r property. It had been stared that a b 11 had been printed for carrying into effect the recommendations of the commission, bly. there appeared to be great d.fficulties in thu Ray of girirg effect to its provisions. The noble and Lathed lord was T roceeding to • xplain the provisions of the Ina, when it was suggeste 3 by Lards CAMPBELL and BROUGHAM, that it world be mere c ors venient if the noble and learned lord would reserve his ob'ervations on the bill until it had been explained by its author to the house. L.,rd ST. LEONARDS, after some further observa tion., concluded by introducing a bill, tl e objct of which was to remove existing obstacles, and afford in creasing facilities for the sale and purchase of landed property. The LORD CHANCELLOR Raid that their lordships were gamily indebted to the noble lord for introducing the bid, and i❑ moving tl . at it shoall be rend a first time, guarded himself from the txpression of any opinion as to the merits of its details. Lord BROUGHA.D.,I s!att'd that be bad himself pre pared a bill on the same subjnt, v,hich had been laid on the tahle for some time past. Lord CAMPBELL protested against the statement made Ly the noble and learned I.)rd, that a syst - lra of regi •tra i in of landed property would be urizAtew.'el any benctin3 or advantages to owners of landed pro perty. TIIL OITII OF ABJURATION'. Lord CA. VIPBELL, in pursuance of the notice which he had given, rose to ask his noble and learned friend on the w ()check a question respecting the state of an ap peal of very great importance which had been for some years pending in their lordships' house—that of " Sal s• mons v. Miller." No llama was attributable to his noble and learned friend in thu matter, but the decision of the question was ono of great importance, because on that decision depended the impo - rtant question whether according to the existing state of the law of England Jews could lawfully it in Parliament. In the year 1851 Mr. Sulornons, a gentleman whom he was proud to call his friend, was returned to Parliament for the bo rough of Greenwich, but being of the Jewish persuasien he objected in the II )use of C rrrnons to take the oath of abjuration according to the form prescribed by the statute, and would only subscribe it by omitting the words, " on the true faith of a Christ au." The Speaker of the house very properly intimated to him that under those circumstances he was not entitled to sit and vote in the house, but Mr. Salomone, taking a different view of the late, did sit and vote without taking the oath in the manner prescribed by the law. After a time an action has commenced against him for penalties, the Legislature having enacted that any member of Parlia ment who shall presume to sit or vote without having taken the oath in the manner prescribed should incur the penalty of 5001. That action was brought in the Court of Exchequer, and a special verdict was given by which the jury found the simple fact of his having taken the oath iu the manner described, leaving it to the court to say whether he had incurred the penalties or not. The special eerdict was solemnly argued before the Court of Exchequer, and three of the judges were of opinion that he had incurred the penalties, the fourth judge di sent ing, the great question being whether the wends "on the true faith of a Christian" was the mode of taking the oath or a part of the oath. Judgment was pronounced against Mr. Salnnons, who then appealed to the Court of Exchequ r Chamber ; the court for the purpose of such appeal consisting of the judges of the Court of Queen's Bench and the judges of the Court of Common Pleas. That appeal was heard in 1853, and after hearing an ela borate argument, the court, over which he, as Chief Jus tice, had the hono ur t o preside, affirmed the judgment of the Court of Exchequer. Now, in both houses of parlia ment he (Lord Campbell) had voted for the admission of the Jews to parliament, believing the law to be oppres sive, and wishing them to be admitted in a manner con stitutional and lawful ; but sitting as a judge, where it t was his duty to de c l are th e l aw an d n o t to make it, i appealed to him that the arguments of the three Barons of the E xc h equer were unanswera bl e —that it clearly was read the intention of parliament, when the act w and construed, that no person should be allowed fairly to take oaths except in the manner prescribedpar liament. by the act of par liament. In coming to that conclusion he was partly in fluenced by the consideration that both houses of parlia ment had repeatedly put the same constru Alan on the act, I. for early in the reign of George an act was passed in favour of the Jews, with respect to particular purposes, and relieving them from the necessity of swearing on the true faith of a Christian. Ile himself had proposed a bill under which Mr. Salomons became sheriff of a county, which bill would have been wholly unnecessary if the words cted to bad not formed part of the oath, His noble and learned friend opposite (Lord Lyndhurst) succeeded in pass i n g a measure enabling Jews to hold all municipal offices whatever. Now these bills would havebeen wholly unnecessary if the Jews could legally have taken the oath of abjuration without the words, and the legislature de clared their opinion that as the law stood whenever the oath of abjuration had to be administered it must be taken in the manner prescribed. All the learned judges of the Courts of Queen's Bench and Common Pleas con curred in the view which he had stated, and so far were they from entertaining any doubt on the subject, that after hearing the arguments in support of the appeal, Without calling on the other side they affirmed the deci sion of the Barons of the Exchequer. Mr. Salomons appealed to their lordships' house in 1854 against the de cision of the Court of Exchequer Chamber. That appeal might have been decided in 1855. It was not decided in that year, nor in the year 1856. It bad not yet been decided. Now he considered it of great importance that it should be decided, or dismissed ; then the adjudication of the Exchequer Chamber would be final. But, so far as he knew, no step had been taken to bring the writ of error to a conclusion. In the meantime, both houses of parliament had acted as if the judgment given in the Excleolutr Clamber were right, far they had not ad mitted the Jews without taking the oath prescribed by the statute, and bills had been sent up from the other house for the purpose of altering the law. Unfortunately Close bids had not met with their lord.hips'approbation . He did not know that their lordships had been much to blame in that respect, because, until the present session of parliament there was reason to believe that the public opinion was with the decision of the judges. H e confessed he had been in hopes that the manifesta tion of public opinion during the present session would have induced their lordships to come to a dif ferent conclusion. The measure recently introduced had been carried by an overwhelming majority, and amongst those gentlemen who formerly conseitntiou , ly voted against the admission of the Jews to Parlia ment, but who now supported the motion, he found Sir J. Pakington and some other members connected with the party of the noble earl opposite. The noble earl and I his friends in their lordships' house, however, still re sisted the proposed change, and he expected the matter would have been a!l)wed to stand over to some other time. But, to his great surprise, on looking at the,votes of the other house, he Lund a notice of motion, that as Baron Rothschild decleres that the words " on the true faith of a Christian" are not binding upon him, the Howe of Commons should resolve that the clerk be in s rooted to omit those words in administering the oath to Baron Rothschild, and that he should be permitted to take his seat in tit Meuse of Commons by a resolution of that house in defiance of what bad been done by their I,rdship, and without the c ,neent of. the Crown: If such a motion should be carried it would never come before the lordships for discussion, but would instantly be treated by the other house as law. Instead of con sidering it the law, he should consider it a flagrant vio'a tion—be would use the gentlest term he could, and say it would be a coup d'etut such as that which had been resorted to in a neighbouring country to bring about a revolution —(hear, hew) —instead of being the law, it would be contrary to law, because it would be an at t, rept, by a resolution of one house, to repeal onset of Parliament, and make laws without the consent of the other, and without the consent of the Crown. (Hear.) Tors course of proceeding was justified by the precede: t of Mr. Peaze. who in the year 1833 was elected for the county of Durham. Ile (Lord Campbell) was then a member of the House of Commons, end one of the law officers of the Crown, and took an active part in the lo ves igation, and he could take upon himself to say that what was then done had not the smallest application to the case now under cnsideration. Mr. Pease was a Quaker. There wee no qu, stion as to the mariner in w hich the oath should be taken. He had to take no oath. The geestion was, whether acts of Parliament had not parse by which Quakers were absolved from takieg the oath. It was his sincere and firm conviction that, under two acts of Parliament passed in favour of the Quakers, they were allowed to affirm with regard to the oath of abjura tion without swearing at all. The language of the acts was so strong as to edmit of no other construction ; at d because the Quakers were absolved from taking any oa h they were allowed to affirm. The same arguments we: se now used against the admission of the Jews. It was said their admission would unchristianise the Legiola ture. Petitions were presented, stating that Quakers were nut Christians; and protests were to be found en their lordships' journals against the bills in favour of the Qqa,ers, upon the very grounds that they were not Chris tians, because they objected to all the sacraments, Oven the sacraments of baptism and the Lord's Supper.: The bile however, were passed in favour of the Quakers. They were not called upon to swear at all, and on that ground, and that ground done, Mr. Pease was allowed to effirin, and he took his Leat with the unanimous ap probation of every member of the Howe of Commons. No one said it was contrary to law. They were doing what they believed the law rcqu!red them to do. It was not made a matter of privilege. It was not an alteration of the law by resolution of the House of Commons. It was simply a chclaration of !be intention of the Legisla ture. Thera was no pretence for saying that the case of Mr. Pease bad any application to the present case, be cause the passing of such a resolution would be a viola- tion of the law as it had been solemnly adjudged, and would be contrary to the intentions of one Louse of the Legislature, and without the consent of the Crown. Ano ther precedent had been 'referred to in a recent case in their lordships' house. Whether their lordships were right or wrong in their decision, it had not the slightest application to the present case, because they were exercis ing a jurisdiction analagous to that exercised by the House of Commons when it decided whether a person taking his seat had been lawfully returned or not. (Hear.) Their lordships did not altar the law on that occasion. They were the only tribunal by which the question could be decided. Weil, then, what wonl lbe the cinsequence of the.ceurse of proceeding now suggested ? They could not stn) a resolition of tee House of Commocs. That house c.n'emp:ated the bringing of actions to recover penalties for sittin g , and votit,g without the oath of abju ration baring betn tlizen in the manner directed by law. It such an actin euouid be brought, he, as a judge of the land, w,itiel be bound to lay down the law as it bad been lad down by the Exchequer Chamber, and to say that the penal les had been incurred, and to direct the j try to find a verdict. Would there be any difficulty in proving Vie fact ? None whatever ; for he mast in ju=tice say, that in the case of Mr, Selornons the House of Commons aff,rded every facility to prove the facts. They woul I now vote it a breach of privilege for any one to bring an action against a member of the House of Com mons who had been allowed to take his seat without swearing in the manner required by the law. In the caur,e c f his Painamectary career be Fad been a strong supporter of privilege, and did not in the slightest de gree regret tto lengths to which he went in the contro versy between the Louse of Commons and the Court of Queen'; Brrch wht—t he was a member of the House of Commons. But that was in a clear case of privilege. It the course now proposed should be per.istod in, it seemed to I irn that it would be something like the commencement of a revolution in this country. In any strife whkh might be stirred up between the courts of law and the House of Commons he should not to afraid of consequences personal to himself. He hoped, if an order should be made for sending him to Newgate or to the Tower of London, the people would rise in his defence. (Laughter.) The House of Commons must not a uppose that the people would see the judges of the land treated in such an arbitrary manner, and with ss much iudign , iy. But he was perlectly prepared for his fate if any such attempt should be made. H e , however, had so much confidence in the leaders of the House of Commons that lie should be very much mis taken if they took any such step. He bad read in the rewrpapersaccounts pointing out the way in which the Prime Minister was to be treated, and pressed, and urged, and conip: . lled to agree :o such a resolution, but he had great confidence in the firmness of the noble lord, acd believed that he would give them a very courteous but very decisive refusal, telling them that such a pro ceeding is contrary to the law and the constitution of this country. (Heir, hear.) He had thought it his duty to ir,qure into the state of the appeal to which he bad referred. If the judgment of the Exchequer Chamber could be reversed he should greatly rejoice, for he should be gl-td to see the Jews constitutiona'ly and lawfully in- t-oduced into Parliament. He believed that no danger would arise from their admission, and hoped the time was not far distant when the reproach of their exclusion would be removed, but till than they ought to submit to the deprivation under which they were labouring. (Hear, hear.) The . LOFD CHANCELLOR had a very short reply to make to the question of his noble and learned friend. The writ of error in the case of Salomons and Miller was set down for hearing in May, 1855. Nothing was done in that session. In the last session an applica tion waT made by both the plaintiff and the defendant that the case might stand over till this session, and it was directed to stand over accordingly. Their lordships were aware that an application of that kind was granted as a matter of course. In June this year another appli cation was made to adjourn the case for two months, which would postpone it till the 15th of August, and thus throw it over the session. (Hear, hear.) Lard BROUGHAM hoped that no such indiscreet act would be either done or attempted elsewhere as that to which his noble and learned friend bad adverted. He always thought his noble and learned friend had carried his doctrine of privilege a great deal too far, but there appeared to be others who were disposed to go much farther. in one case they actually went so far—it would have been scarcely credible did it not appear on the journals of the house—as to try, by way of privilege, a right of fishery. (Laughter.) A member of the House of Commons, a gallant admiral, complained that a per. son had interfered with a fishery whic h be claimed on the coast of Devonshire, whereupon, instead of appeal ing to the Court of Queen'a Bench, he made it a matter of privilege, and the House of Commons, neverdream ing that it was a judicial matter, summoned the man, who was taken into custody by the Sergeant-at-A.rms, and having ackno wledged his offence, and promised never to repeat it, was discharged on payment of fees. The gallant admiral thereby obtained—he would not say a verdict and judgment from a court of competent juris diction, but the benefit of the sentence of the House of Commons, proceeding by way of privilege. He hoped pt a ol n a d t ec adtrr,ruyfs from ot e h d me i the h eHouseh p ri vil e ge they o se w cna o t p a e l idwoniwtoht without tn t attempt to could Cotnh °in n not e scape : e t violent conflicts as disgraced our ancestors 150 ye ire ago. Laird CAMPBELL said that with reference to the explanation of his noble and learned friend, as to the cause of the delay in bringing the case for decision before the house, it appeared that though it was fairly and honestly argued, the plaintiff and defendant appeared to have a close understanding on the mat ter, and whatever one suggested the other agreed to. With all respect for his friend Mr. Alderman Salo mons, he must say that he thought it desirable that the case should be brought to a conclusion, and a final opinion given on the judgment of the Court of Ex. chequer. The subject then dropped, and the house adjourned at 5 minutes past eight. HOUSE OF COMMONS.—(YESTBRDAY.) The SPEAKER took the chair at 12 o'clock.
