It signifies little whether it retains the old designation, or is termed " apprentice ship," or any euphonious appellation that may serve The simple to disguise the atrocious s ystem. question is, whether man can be permitted to sell his fellow-man, to transport him from his native land, his friends, relations, and home, and bind him under stringent penalties to labour under the direction and at the will of a master who has ptirchased his services for a stipulated price, and has a right to enforce what he has duly paid for. "The rose by any name will smell as sweet," and 'lihe so-called scheme of free emigration from Africi is neither more nor less than slavery, pure and simple. Wo ars told that it is but an experiment, by means whereof an adequate supply of black labour cart be obtained where it is now deficient—that it is for the benefit (! ) of the negroes who, being slaves in their own country, will be redeemed or purchased, and entitled after a specified time to return home free and independent. In other words, their penal servitude is to be but for seven or ten years, in place of being for life. It is also said that the scheme, having obtained the sanction of the French EMPEROR, it is useless to struggle against it, and that we may as well participate in the benefits to arise from the specious device. In other words, that Great Britain, to please its ally, should enter on a retrograde policy, and -• ignore all the struggles and expenditure of the last half century—should deliberately abandon all its efforts for the suppression of the abominable traffic, and recant the opinions, which elevated the British name t) the highest rank in the scale of nations 1 which an oath should be taken, as in subjecLing to the legal penalties of perjury any who Should t die one wrongfully, and wilfully and deliberately make false statements in matters pertinent to any legal inquiry then pending. It was, we believe, passed for the purpose of setting at rest the doubts that arose respecting the evidence of some Chinese witnesses who were sworn by solemnly breaking a saucer in court. It is, therefore, not exactly applicable to the present proceedings. The resolutions suggested by the Honourable Gentleman appear, " facia adunguem," exactly suited to the emergency. They are founded on the unwritten law of the land, as ex- plained in the leading case of " OMICHUND v. BARKER"—and the numerous authorities that have followed that established precedent, and many which were collected by the late eminent Jurist, Mr. S➢IITH, in his well known "leading cases." They are as follows, and we fancy will command the universal assent of the Liberal Members friendly to the principle of the Oath's Lord BROUGHAM bas boldly grappled with the specious fallacy. In a speech distinguished by all the vigour and energy that characterised his early and most brilliant exertions, he has de flounced the scheme, and obtained the cordial c.)- operation of Ministers, and the unanimous assent of the House of Lords, to the address to the QUERN", " that she would be graciously pleased to .1. ATEST NE WS Bill, viz.:— " Ist. That by the undoubted law of these realms, every person called upo❑ to take an oath is entitled to have such oath administered in the form and with the ceremonies most binding upon his conscience. FRANCE. PARIS, SUNDAY EVENING. After some time spent in taking counsel and de liberating among friends and 'colleagues, it seems to be settled that three out of the five Democratic deputies for Paris refuse to take the oaths to the Imperial Government. These three are General Cavaignac, M. Goudehaux, and M. Carnot. The lest is said to have hesitated a good deal, the first less so, but the second declared from the beginning his repugnance to Fiisinnit to such a condition. The conduct of the authorities in pressing on the interment of Beranger before twenty-fours hours had elapsed, is doubtless palliated by the maxim that " necessity has no law." One can hardly condemn the precautions taken to prevent a repeti tion of the tumultuous displays and the serious conflicts of which the streets of Paris have been the theatre on similar occasions, though one may blame as unnecessary the menacing intimation conveyed in the ordinance of the Prefect of Police on the morning of the ceremony. The haste with which til o l e e op i i n e tei ti e l u t t he t ir ook app p r l c ic r e iat w e owing to the fact of the au , thorities having, received information that revolutionary com mittees would meet on the night previous to the funeral, and organise their plans of " manifesta tion." With the army that Paris and its envi ronshave at hand, anything like a successful attempt appear hopeless : and the at insurrection may pro jectors of the " manifestation' may have contem plated nothing beyond a strong mustering of was, t in i g s si a g l n ie s gt a badges. A committee of the secret societies, was, we are assured, to meet on the day following the death of Beranger ; and it was again to sit the same night, ignorant of the resolution previously come to by the Government that the funeral should take place without delay. There is something abhorrent from every feeling of hu man nature in converting affection and reverence towards the dead into an occasion for disorder, and in provoking a collision over the remains, not yet cold, of one whose name has been in the heart and on the lips of Frenchmen for the last 40 years and more, regardless of the dying injunction of the dec used himself. The force ready to act in case of emergency was very large. Independent of the four regiments which kept the boulevards from the Theatre of the Ambigu to the Cha,ten d'Eau under General Blanchard on Friday, two brigades were in readiness at the Bastille ; and, besides the squadroes of the Paris guards in constant move ment up and down the line to keep the passage clear for carliages and foot passengers, strong patrols of Carabine-rs, who had come in from Versailles, watched in the direction of Pa=sy (the po +t's former residence) and the places contiguous. Detachments also occupied the streets leading to the Rue Ven dome, where Beranger lately resided. In a word, the arrangements were of such a nature as to crush instantly the slightest attempt at disturbance. It is said that a Convention is to be signed be tween the Sovereigns cif the Italian States, with the exception of the King of rdinia, to guarantee each other against revolutio y attacks. Prince Woronzow, onl nof the celebrated Prince Woronzow, late error-General of the Crimea, has arrived in Paris with his family. The Minister of Marine has decided that in future no int re cutters shall be built fur the French navy. They are to be replaced by advice boats of 30-horse-power. " The investigation into the plot aoninst the Em peror," says a Paris letter in the Independance e of Brussels, "is still carried on with great activity. The accusation appears to be concentrated on two of the Italians in custody ; the third appearing not to have known much of what they were about. One of the two confegses—the other denies. The affair, the precise gravity of which has not yet been ascertained, seems decidedly to have formed part of the projects which have just come to light in Italy." A Paris letter, in the Nord of Brussels, says : "If I am well informed, a 1 rug conference took place a few clays ago between Count Walewski, Lord Cowley, and Baron de Hubner, principally turning on the affairs of Italy, and on the in-asui 03 to be adopted for preventing a recurrence to the* , attempts, S 3 calculated to compromise European tranquillity. The French Government is actively engaged iu organising means for watching more closely than ever the proceedings of secret societies abroad, and to defeat their manoeuvres. Count Walewski as as authorised to impress on Lord Cawley that Engl end, of all the Power;, was the one that could lend the most useful co operation to such views . by not giving so readily an asylum to ail the revolutionary prapaoau di,t4. It has been already stated that an Italian Power had assumed the initiative in making representations to England on the great latitude afforded to political refugees in the British capital. At present letters from Italy announce that it is the Grand Duke of Tuscany who made an applica tion on the subject through his Charge d'Affaires at London. The English Cabinet, it is said, replied. that the habits and leg'slation of the country did not aliow it to comply with the prayer of the repro sentatioti so made, but that, as it could not send Mazz ni away, it would subject him to a strict sur veillance."

" 2d. That the question, ' Whether the oath which the deponent is willing to take is really most binding upon his conscience,' must, from the nature of the case, be decided by the party who administers the oath. " 31. That although any such decision by an inferior court would be a proper subject for ap peal, yet it is the law of this land that there can be no appeal between courts of co-ordinate juris diction." withhold her countenance from all such sche:nes among her subjects, and would use her best en deavours among her MAJEsrv's allies for engaging them to discountenance all projects which have a tendency to promote African emigration by any means directly or indirectly connected with the purchase of slaves or ransom of captives taken in war." The first resolution is, as we have shown, founded on the Common Law, and cannot be con troverted or impeached by any constitutional law yer. It follows as the natural consequence of the decision in 44 01110E1E1ND V. BARKER." The se cond shows who are the legitimate and proper judges of the manner in which the oath should be taken, so as to be " most binding on the con science of the recipients." For this purpose he will be examined on the voir dire, as it is termed, so that the presiding authority may deter mine whether the proposed form is suitable and proper, according to the religious opinions of the party. That being determined, none but a superior Court could subsequently impeach that decision. But the House of Commons recognises no supe rior, and we cannot suppose that any of the Superior Courts of Common Law would arrogate to itself the right of reviewing or control ling its resolutions or judgments. Ex-M.P. has, therefore, struck the right nail on the head. The proceedings on Friday night will show the utter absurdity of the RUSSELL compromise, which can only weaken the position of the npresentative branch of the Legislature, without the slightest prospect of averting the collision that sooner or later must take place. We trust, then, that the members who are again to meet to-morrow, will eventually decade on the course which the honour and dignity of the Commons House of Parliament imperatively demand, and that they may obtain the cordial ccncurrence of Lord PALMERSTON and his Govern ' went therein. There is apparently but one dissentient to this decided course. But one journal that does not feel that it is, at best, but " a mockery, a delusion, and a snare," one calculated to revive the un holy trade, in all its glaring enormity ! The Times asserts—" That taking that grand sum mary view of the question, which we cannot help taking, after a quarter of a century, the process was a failure," that "it destroyed an immense property, ruined thousands of good families, de graded the negroes still lower than they were, and after all, increased the mass of Slavery in less scrupulous hands." It also sneers at Lord BROUGHAM as " that distinguished representative of the intentions and failures of the last genera- We are, however, still disposed, on such a point, to pin our faith on the veteran Reformer ; the indefatigable fellow-labourer with CLARKSON and WILBERFORCE—the consistent and faithful philanthropist, who has so long defended the rights and liberty of his fellow-man, without distinction of race, clime, or colour—and we d.) so the more readily when all the reasoning and argument are on his side, and nothing, save a ponderous and unworthy attempt at ridicule on the other. Lord BROI7OIIAM did not ascribe any wrongful intention to the EMPEROR. He believed that he had been misled, misinformed, and deceived," and he clearly, distinctly, and unequivocally pointed out the mode in which the scheme, if carried into practical execution, " must end in a renewal of the internal African Slave Trade." The arguments of its promoters, including the Times, were merely a rechauffee of the hackneyed reasons that had been invariably used on every occasion for the last 60 years, so long as any pro -1 slavery men could be found with sufficient hardihood to repeat them in his place in eithar House of Parliament. Lord BROUGHAM proved, beyond the possibility of doubt, that the negroes would not understand the plan, even were it to be carried out in the most straightforward and bona fide manner. None would voluntarily consent to ten years exile, with compulsory labour in the interval, however spe cious the promises that may be made respecting the terms and prospects of a return. The demand would only be met by slaves brought from the interior. The King of DAHOMEY, and other sable poten'ates, would unleash their respective packs and pursue the human gamo with increased vigour. A market was ensured for their captives, and when once they could legally be purchased, and legally conveyed across the seas, it would be impossible to check those who would seek not t ) ransom the prisoners, but to deal according to the old piraticar, system, and to carry off their victims to permanent and hopeless slavery. As M. FITZPATRICK, an unimpeachable witness, &clan d, " a limited demand in the way proposed would bring more slaves from the interior than were wanted, and they would be starved in barracooes, while it would unsettle the minds of the people, and disturb, and destroy legitimate trade, as much as au unlimited traffic under the old sys- ion." Her Majesty the Queen Dowager of the Netherlands. attended by the Dutch Minister and a numerous suite, also the Duchess of Orleans, the Duke and Duchess of Montpensier, and a large party, visited the Crystal Pa lace en Saturday, and dined in the Palace after the dis play of the great fountains. The Earl of Derby returned to town on Saturday, from Knovraley, Lancashire. The Earl of Wilton came to town on Saturday, from staying with the Earl of Derby at Knowsley. Viscount Altborp, M.P., has left England, with the retention of making a tour of several months' duration in the United States. tern." Under such circumstances we rejoice that her MAJEsTY's Government have had their hands strengthened by the unanimous res.:- lution of the Upper House, and trust that the Commons will arm them with a sin:lair weapon. Against such remonstrances as they will then be justified in forwarding, we cannot con ceive that other Powers will remain insensible. It is the duty of every man, who desires the total abolition of the infamous trade, to spare no enrts that may conduce to bring about that great desideratum, and prevent England from undoing all that she has achieved for the last half century. We earnestly invite attention to a communica tion, signed " Ex-M.P." •which will be found in another part of this day's impression, and which boldly and fairly grapples with the interesting question of Baron ROTHSCHILD'S undoubted right to sit and vote in Parliament, as one of the chosen representatives of the City of London. We regret that " Ex " should be prefixed to the magic ini tials. We want such men at the present day— men w;th clear heads, vigorous intellects, and un flinching resolution—to assert their rights and privileges, without truckling or bending to expe diency, or yielding what ought " to be'' to what con veniently may be. The "Ex-M.P. " clearly explains what we as serted on Saturday, that the case of Alderman SALOMONS was essentially different from that of Baron ROTHSCHILD, in the event of the House passing a resolution to admit him on taking the substance of the prescribed oaths. It has in truth " no bearing whatever on the question respecting Mr. DILLWYN'S lution." Alderman SALOMONS took no oath, or rather no "legal" oath. For the authority by which the oath was administered decided that it was not a valid execution of the requisite for mality. H a d the dec i s i on b een diff eren t, as we hope and believe it will be in the present in stance, no action could have been brought, no forfeiture incurred. The House would be ack nowledged to be the sole judge of its own privi leges, and it would undoubtedly be decided that no appeal would lie to another tribunal of co ordinate jurisdiction. The resolution of which Mr. Duamvx had giveu notice scarcely meets the merits of the case. It is framed on an erroneous interpretation of Lord DENMAN'S Act. That statute was not framed so much for the purpose of prescribing the form in L ,rd and Lady John Russell have taken their depar ture from Farrance's Hotel, where they havo been mak• iug a lengthened sojourn, for Pembroke Lodge, R:ch. mond Park.

CELESTE.—We t xtract the following from 0,1/i/dr - tun/ :—" Madame Celeste, the directress of the Royal Adelphi Tileatre in London, is at present in Paris ter a few weeks' repose after the fatigues of an unusu ally prolonged mearion. This lady, who is termed the Madame Derval of London, in melodrama, has also the reputation of the first pantomimic actress of the present day." SURREY THEATRE.—"II Trovatore" has been pro duced, under the superintendence of Mr. Tully, and is executed in a very creditable style. The chief novelty connected with the performance is the appearance of Mr. Henry Squires, a young tenor of much promise, in the 'eviller character of Manrico. He has a chest voce of great compass, well suited to the gentle strains of the romantic troubadour, which he sings with taste and feeling, though he lacks force for the more violent de monstrations of passion. Leonora is represented by Lucy Escott, who exerts all her energies to give force to the passionate utterances of the character. The most finished performance in every respect is the Azucena of Miss Lanza, who not only sings the music in artist-like style, but acts in a free unconstrained manner that happily avoids both tameness and exaggeration. Tne choruses are executed with great spirit, and the manner in which the whole work is done shows high talent for organise tien on the part of the musical director, , He finds his reward in an enthusiasm among the audience that is most remarkable considering the warmth of the weather. PRINCE NAPOLEON. LIVERPOOL, JULY 17. His Imperial Highness Prince Napoleon returned to Liver pool from Manchester last night, and proceeded on board La 'Leine Hortense. This morning the Prince proceeded on board the - United States steam frigate Niagara, where he was received by Captain Hudson. He was shown over the vessel, with the noble proportions and capacity of which he seemed highly delighted ; and his attention was also directed to the process of °ellen the great At lantic submarine telegraph cable on board. Captain Buds , n explained the properties of the cable and it, mode of manufacture, and presented his Highness with a piece of it, and with a chart showing the place where it Is to be laid down. The Prince, who repeatedly ex pressed the pleasure be had derived from this interesting visit, stayed on board about an hour and a half. This evening the Depu'y Mayor and Mr. Charles Turner will dine with his Imperial Highness on board the Hortense, which will sail to-night for the Isle of Man, from which place it will probably proceed to Belfast.

She left Alexandria July 6 ; Malta, 10 ; and Gibraltar, 14. The Pera, outwardo., met with generally fine weather, but experienced fresh head winds from Cape St. Vincent to Malta, a distance of 1,200 miles.

THE DANUBE. "The Turkish Government," says a letter from Vienna, " has resolved to send several engineers to Widdin to compete the construction of the ex ternal works. In order to prevent the Danube from constantly undermining the principal ram pait, missive constructions will be built in order to prot,et th 3 works. The guns for arming the bat teries h►ve already arrived at Widdin, and there are among them several mortars of a very large calibre." ITALY. TURIN, July 13.—The Senate proceeded to-day to the consideration of the bill for a new conven tion between the Government and the Savoy Rail way Company, including the project for tunnelling the Mont Cenis. The late Mazzinian attempts naturally form the staple of all discussions on Italian politics at pre sent ; and it is really curious and amusing to see the efforts of certain Absolutist journals—German, Russian, French, and Italian—to cast the onus on the Sardinian Government, whereby they gene rally succeed in proving so much that they end by , making themselves supremely ridiculous. Accord ing to these critics, the Sardinian Government is ill informed by its secret agents, badly served by its police, and is itself wanting in the essential quali ties of caution and prudence. If it had not been for the warnings of the French police the train of the plot would never have been discovered, and, even as it was, the town of Genoa was only saved fr om destructio n b y ac cident, and not in a ny degree owing to the vigilance of the authoritie3, whe were lost in a dream of fancied security. All this, they say, is the consequence of cons titutional government, and therefore, of course, they infer that constitu tionalism is a perpetual source of disquietude to the neighbouring Governments, and ought forth with to be rooted out. •-- NNW A Berlin letter, in the Dresden, Gazette, says : " lhe new Russian tariff will have a much greater influence on our trade than was expected.

BARON ROTH_RCRII D'S RIGHT TO VOTE DEATH OF THY I-10N. W. L. MARC TIi.vDOUBTED. The sad intelligence that William L. Marcy is no more will be heard with feelings of profoundest sorrow and regret, not only in this, the State in which he lived, but in every State in the Union. He was found dead in his room at Ballston, Sara - toga county, last Saturday noon. When last seen he seemed to be in the enjoyment of his wonted health and spirits. Born in Stourbride, Massa .chussetts, in 1786, he was consequently 71 years of age at the time of his death. Early in lite, after graduating at Brown University, in Rhode Island, be removed to this state, and commenced the prac tice of tine legal profession at Troy, of which city he became Recorder in 1816, and after occupying the highest stations of trust, responsibility, and honour which the citizens of New York c gild con fer upon him, —Adjutant-General in 1821, Comp troller in 1823, Judge of the Supreme Court in 1829, United States' Senator in 1831, Governor in 1833, to which office he was twice re-Alected—he was selected by successive national Executives to fill the post in each Cabinet which for the time be ing was the most arduous and prominent. As Sec rerary of War under President Polk, we are largely indebted to h's energy, activity, and skill for the successful prosecution of a contest which gave fresh lustre to the laurels of the Ameri can army, and added California and New Mexico to the Republic. His sagacious use of the means at his disposal to render the army as effi cient as possible, without increasing the taxation or having recourse to any extraordinary expedient, —the ability with which the war was brought to a close,—and the magnanimity which was displayed in the conclusion of peace, are alike honourable to' himself and the country. As Secretary of State under General Pierce, the career of the great states man was nut less distinguished, although in a diffe rent sphere of action. His management of the en listment question, and his diplomatic controversy with the Earl of Clarendon on Central American affairs, together with the many able State papers which issued from his pen during bis four years tenure of office, are fresh in the recollection of the public, and entitled him to the highest rank among the leading men of his time. His firmness, sagacity, strong Conservative tendencies, unswerving pa triotism, sterling integrity, and eminent ability as a statestnan won him the respect and confidence 'of all parties in his own country, and caused his name to be universally honoured abroad, while in private life few enjoyed a larger circle of devoted and admiring friends.—New York Journal of Com merce. THE YELLOW FhVER IN THE WEST INDIES. The Royal Mail Company have sent out instruc tions to St. Thomas to alter the coaling arrange men.ts there, in order, as much as possible, to put a stop to the yellow fever on board the company'e ships. The company's arrangements for coaling at St. Thomas are defective. At the Royal Mail Coal Wharf on that island there are nearly 20,000 tone of coal stored. With the heat a deleterious gas escapes from the coals, which is frightfully inju lions to health. Mail steamers come up to St. Thomas with a clean bill of health. In two Or three days after coaling yellow fever p,imust inva riably breaks out during the sickly months. The steamers which run to the windward islands and to Honduras, and which do not come up to St. Thomas to coal, hardly ever get the yellow fever on board. Her Majesty's ship Ori , n, with 700 souls on board, which is in the West leaks, and which has not coaled at St. Thomas, has not had a single case of fever. The fever does not attack blacks, rarely visits persons who have made many voyages to the West Indies, or passengers. That something con ducive to yellow fever is generated from coal is proved from the fact that firemen and engineer s who sleep nearest to the mass of coals on board the West Endia steamers are the sufferers from the fever. The Royal Mail Company's coal wharf ill, most injudiicously situated at the foot of a bill, which scarcely ever feels the sea breeze. The gas generated by the coals is hardly ever blown await and the crews of the mail packets are therefore in haling it for the two or three days which each large packets takes to coal. The La Plata coaled out: side St. Thomas harbour, and the Arato coaled the wharf, and the latter suffered far more from foyer than the former. The crews of the mall packets always say they are poisoned at St. Thorn coal wharf. The steamers Dee and Clyde have se: feted badly from yellow fever ; but no mail packe t has ever suffered as much as the Orinoco. Afte r coaling at St. Thomas, the fever broke out ell board of her on the 27th ult., and two or thre e died daily until she left for England. She had tilr wards of 30 on the sick list when she left. S' Thomas. Complaint has been made that thas s t were not lefc behind, and it has been thong that the Orinoco ought not to have - c .me awai t with a full hospital. It is difficult to say t i l; there was blame. Persons perhaps with slight symptoms do not 11e to be left behi n d ' The commander of the ship, who wants every ba n thinks that man who are ill will soon recove r ; and be of service to him. Captain Sawyer, t o commander of the Orinoco, provided as well a s be could for emergency. He borrowed all the meet, could from the Solent, which is repairing at ,_',l Thomas, and started on his voyage ; before he n'a concluded it 70 out of his crew, which numb° re d, 106, were struck down with fever and 28 dl e A it The number of passengers was nearly 200. but one of the engineers were ill, and the first O a sixth engineer died. The shifts that all on ho ar were put to were most in c onvenient. The ste” d ; ardess, a very worthy and respectable woman, P rished. The surgeon, Mr. Walter, worked lik e 0 h arse, and it is a marvel that be did not die ft, ° fatigue. The Rev. Mr. Ratcliffe, a Jamaica ei sr , i gyman, who was a passenger on board, renclelehe great service in cheering the sick, comforting 0 dying, and performing the last offices fur the dt3l when they were consigned to the deep. Lieutee ° oo Tickell, the Admiralty agent of the ship, a liuuta io and brave officer, also rendered assistance. OaPli. Sawyer and his officers set an example of uo' lj „,l ness. The white saloon waiters all p er i s hed, f`"ic the officers and passengers dispensed wi t h the Wilc o ones, who were sent into the engine departmee t v , succeed the dead and dying stokers and &word yet everything possible was done for the comfe` 'of the passengers. The resources of a ship like are Orinoco, and the handiness of all ou board; i v astonishing. Capital dinners were served up .aLl' and everything consistent with the solemnities of illness and death was done to keep up the spiii ts o, all on board. The Admiralty agent, Lieut. TleV o d describes the sceneson board as most pathetic. id talk one day wish a man who is cheerful an u ci d good health; the next day he is ill, and the di r, after the funeral service is read over his dead he and you are carrying home from him a love friends who will mourn his death.

Oue or two persons got hipped, beli e i v e it they had the fev er , and confined themselves tot cabins nearly th e whole of the voyage, althle they had not the s li g ht es t s ympt o ms o f disease. death-bed of a yellow fever patient is oftentiule're, sad and terrible scene, the brain and limbs atel l . e g ternaturally active, the body feels like a be ri— e lf coal. the express ion of the face is maniacal ; Yoe apparently, the final struggle with death is a P less one. TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. SIR,—It is most wonderful to observe the loa'ls of rubbish with which lawyers, and, I am sorry to say, Statesmen--at any rate, those who pass as such—encumber and mystify cases affecting the public weal ; and undoubtedly the one wider con sideration has received its full 'amount, and this because some men lift up the whites of their eyes and call it a question of consience. At the public meeting ou Thursday, Sir James Graham endeavoured, and, I am sorry to say, suc ceeded in frightening the M.P.'s, by treating the case of Alderman Salomons as one in point, whereas, in truth, it had no bearing whatever on the question respecting Mr. Dillwyn s resolutions, for Mr. Alderman Salomons took no legal oath, o,nd it was proposed that Baron Rothschild should i take one. Lord John Russell's proposed bill is, according to his own showing, bosh ; for he said " it was to clear up the ambiguity, whether the words, on any occasion, are confined to courts of justice, or extend to higher authority." Such a sentence from a Russell ! How are the mighty fallen ! For surely the words, "on any occasion," are wide enough to admit everything, from Buckingham Wan to a cobbler's stall. _ _ Mr. Dill wyn's resolutions are very bad ; they are either too large, or not large enough. Those which I would suggest are these :- Ist. That by the undoubted law of these realms, every per son called upon to take an oath is entitled to have such oath administered in the form and with the ceremonies most binding upon his con science. _ 2d. That the question " Whether the oath which the deponent is willing to take is really most bind ing upon his conscience," must, from the nature of the case, be decided by the party who administers the oath. 3d. That although any such decision by an in ferior court would be a proper subject for appeal, yet it is the law of this laud that there can be no appeal between courts of co-ordinate jur:sdiction. These resolutions being adopted, and who could gainsay them, then Baron Rothschild would apply to take the oath, when the usual one would be ten dered to him. He would then state to the House that the words "on the true faith of a Christian, so help me God," were not those most binding upon his conscience. Mr. Speaker—State to the House the words which would be most binding upon your con- science. Baron Rothschild—The words which would be mast binding on my conscience are, So help me Jehovah, omitting those "on the true faith of a Christian, so help me (plod." Whereon it would be moved and seconded that the words " on the true faith of a Christian, so help me God," being the form of oath, and not the sub stance of that which is sworn to, the oath be admi nistered to Baron Rothschild by the omission of the above words and the substitution of these, "So help me Jehovah," being those which Baron Rothschild has declared to be most binding upon his conscience. Assuming this question to be carried in the affir mative, for, if not, the question falls to the ground, the Baron is called on, informed of the decision of the house, takes the amended oath, and votes. .ag A qui tam action is brought to recover 5001. for having voted without taking the oath required by law ; and the plea would be that the Baron had Taken the oath required by law, as appears by the journal of the House of Commons. This would, in truth, be an at empt to raise the question whether the words " on the true faith of a Christian" were part of the substance of the mat ter sworn to, or the form of oath, and undoubtedly, upon this question, a fair differeNce of opinion may arise—a difference which, as is well known, ex tends to the judges of the land. But what would the Court hold ? Can there be any rational doubt in the mind of any lawyer that they would say we hate no jurisdiction on the question whether the oath was or not properly taken, because that has already been decided by a Court of co-ordinate jurisdiction and equal authority with ourselves. Surely this is thi straightforward mode of settling the question. I am, Sir, your obedient servant, July 18, 1857. EL M.P. HER MAJESTY'S VISIT TO ALDERSHOT On Saturday last another imposing military spec tacle, in the shape of a grand field-day or review, took place at Aldershot, in which her Majes . y was not only a mere spectator, but a prominent actor. The troops, under the command of Lieutenant- General Knollys, Major-General Lord. W. Paulet, Major-General the Hon. J. Scarlett, and Major- General the Hon. A. Spencer, took up their posi tions shor ly after nine o'clock. They consis:ed of the Ist Dragoiu Guards, the 6th Inniskillingß, the 4th Light Dragoons, the 7th Huisani, 15th Hussars, the Coldstreatn Guards Ist Battalion, the 60th, the 54th, the 22d, the 15th, the 9611, - 20th, and 97th Regiments of the Line, the Ist and 3d batta lions of the Rifle Brigade, two troops of Horse Ar tillery, one troop of Foot Artillery, with field bat teries, three companies of Royal Eugineers and Sappers and Minere, and pontoon train, &c., amounting altogether to about eleven thousand men. Her Majesty left the Pavilion precisely at ten o'clock,. and shortly after the booming of the can non announced the arrival of the royal cortege on the ground. The Queen, instead of being present in an open carriage as on the previous day, was mounted on a splendid charger, and attired in her equestrian military costume. As soon as her Majesty reached the p'ateau on the west of the south camp, the first division of the army, under the command of Major-General the A. Spencer, c,insisting of the Scots Fusilier Guards, the 3d Battalion of the Rifle Brigade, and the 96th and 22d Regiments, took up a position on the north bank of the Basingstoke Canal. The evolu tions of the troops continued in that direction, the cavalry t►king up a position on the right and lest of the long valley, whilst the artillery having gained the ridge of the various hills, kept up a heavy tire in the direction of the supposed enemy.. By this time her Majesty, the Queen, the Prince Con sort, the Commander-in-Chief, and the royal cor tege, had gained the point of au immense hill, from which a splendid view of both armies in the valley beneath, as well as the pontoon practice on the Basingstoke Canal, at a place called the " Cove," was obtained. It was at first supposed fri m each division throwing out its skirmishers of Rifles that a general sham fight would take place ; but this notion was speedily dissipated, for no sooner had the pontoon bridge been completed than the Cold streams and the other regiments which held the north side of the canal marched over and joined the anticipated enemy. The cavalry then threw out their videttes, and after manceuvring for some time charged at full gallop across the valley. The Queen and party then made their way in a south-westerly direction to the ridge of the splendid hills known at Caesar's Camp, and which commands a view of the entire valley. Across this the in fantry, after a vast number of evolutions in con junction with cavalry, flanked by the artillery, formed in one immense line, which kept up a suc cession of volley and file firing which filled the valley .with smoke, until the want of ammunition put a stop to the tremendous fire of infantry and artillery. Shortly after one o'clock the sound of the bugles intimated that the review was at end, and her Majesty and the Royal cortege having descended the hill to the plain, the whole of the troops marched past the Queen, each regiment being headed by its respective band, playing lively airs, and it was not until nearly two o'clock that the royal party left the ground for the Pavilion. II- r Majesty quitted the camp at Aldershot, and started with the Prince Consort, the Royal f am ily, and suite, at four o'clock, under an escort of the 7th Hussars, for the Farnborough station, to proceed by special train, via the South-Western Railway to Gosport, and from thence to her Ma jesty's marine residence at Osborne. The Hon. R. Dutton, M.P., and other directors of the company, attended her Majesty from Farn borough to Gosport. The envie was driven by Mr. Beattie, locomotive superintendent ; and Mr. Scott, manager, and Mr. Crornbie, secretary to the company, travelled with the train. LIVERPOOL, July 18.—The Royal Mail Ftearnship Europe sailed hence tc.-day for Boston, with about 150 passengers and a full cargo of dry go ids. INDIAN MAIL.—The Peninsular and Oriental Com pany's steam-packet Pera, Captain Soy, Admiral t y agent Lieutenant Bolton, RN., arrived at Southampton, July 18, with the heavy portion of the India mails. Her dates were : Aloctridria, July 6 ; Malta, 10 ; Gib raltar, 14. She brought 132 passengers ; amongst whom were Colonel Jervis and family. Messrs. Lushington, Betts, Bailey, and Palmer, from Calcutta ; Dr. M'Kecknie, from Malta ; Sir G. Leith, from Gibraltar; Mr. Smith, of the War Department, from Hong Kong. FALL IN WHEAT ON THE CONTINENT.—The Cologne Gazette states that the harvest has commenced over all Prussia, and promises to be most abundant. A tele. graphic dispatch from Marseilles states that wheat fell in that market on Friday if. the hectolitre. At the fair of Bescancon three da y s hack whe at was offered at lower prices, but with ou t find i n g many purch asers . GREAT FIRE IN SOUTHWARK.—On Saturday night last, about 10 o'clock, a fire broke out upon the premises of Messrs. Wilson and Co , builders, of Great Suffolk street, Southwark, by which a large amount of property in building materials and nearly a dozen adjacent houses were destroyed, or greatly damaged by fire and water.
