Protectionists, we cannot but feel assured that the answer of the Legislature will be briefly, decisively, and permanently in the affirmative. That an Israelite can enter the House of Commons as a Le gislator is proved by the wording of that very Oath of Abjuration which: is supposed by many to raise an obstacle to the admission of non-Christians. We are conscious that this declaration will be derided and laughed to scorn by all those who are blinde.d by religious bigotry, and who have merely a superficial knowledge of that frivolous formula. But let these malcontents regard the matter for just two minutes dispassionately, and they will be forced to acknowledge that the Oath of Abjuration is so fragile and flimsy in its nature as to present no barrier whatever to the entrance of a Jew into the Lower House:at Westminster. They will perceive, that being a believer in the religion of MOSES is no more a disqualification than being a flagrant and avowed Atheist ; that a man can no more be prevented by the Oath of Abjuration from taking his seat in the House because he denies the divinity of the RE DEEMER, than he can for denying the existence of the GODHEAD. The moral of all this may be question able, but the fad is indisputable. To explain the accuracy of our assertion, that the Baron LIONEL DE ROTHSCHILD can sit in Parliament as one of the four representatives of the city of Lon ' don, in spite of the Oath of Abjuration, it must first be observed that that oath is from first to last an absurdity, because it is the abjuration of what is no longer in existence. To speak ex plicitly, it is the abjuration of the STUARTS. The abjuration of the STUARTS ! Why we might as well abjure Mr. SAMUEL Piciewica.! The endangerment of the present dynasty is just as pos sible through the one quarter as through the other— through a creature of the imagination, as through the representative of a house that is extinct. Were bonnie Prince CHARLIE still winning the hearts of the virgins of Scotland, and still rousing the devotion of his Jacobite followers, there might be some reason in requiring this solemn abjuration of his august but degraded race. But when the last of the STUARTS has been long since as dead—to speak with all the emphasis of the vernacular—as mutton, as a door-nail, or even as JACOB MARLEY him self, it becomes ridiculous to require such an abjura tion. Now, the Oath of Abjuration being thus pre posterous in its intentions—being tantamonnt in fact to laying the ghost of treason—it is manifest that the words " on the true faith of a Christian" are merely a superfluous confirmation of what has already been sworn, and that what has already been sworn (namely, the abjuration of the STUARTS) is sheer nonsense. If coaches-and-six can be driven easily through Acts of Parliament, a Jew can push boldly into the House of Commons through the flimsy impediment of the Oath of Abjuration. what must be the result ? We do not approve of the doctrine of " moral complicity " put forward by M. HEBERT, but surely if DUPoTET was in any degree responsible for the regicidal attempt of ALIBAUD, Archdeacon LAFFAN cannot be altogether innocent of the events that may possibly follow his eloquence. New powers are demanded on behalf of the Executive to proclaim districts where savage acts are perpe trated. Surely the first step to tranquillize the country should be to prevent or punish tha utterance of language such as that to which we have alluded. It is announced in a Berne journal of the 13th that an American house had offered to negotiate a loan of 3,000,000 francs for the Federal Government on very advantageous terms. General DUFOUR, the Commander-in-Chief of the Federal army, had fixed his head-quarters on the 12th at Avrenches, near Friburg, and summoned the city to surrender, giving the Friburgers twenty-four hours in which to decide. Negotiations were en tered into, but were broken off on the lath at noon, and the attack on the city was commenced. A skirmish took place on the road leading from Berne to Fri burg, in which two officers of the canton of Vaud were killed, and several soldiers killed ;and wounded. The Federal army, however, drove in the advanced posts of the Sonderbund troops, and having estab lished its artillery in a position from which to bom bard the city, the authorities sent to General D upon& proposing terms of surrender, and negotiations were going on when the last accounts left. There are sixty French students remaining in the Jesuit Col lege of Friburg; about eighty others have taken refuge in Berne, having been claimed by their friends. It is deeply painful to the friends and well-wishers of Ireland, to those who have advocated her cause, and desired that her children should be placed on a footing of equality in every respect with their Eng lish fellow-subjects, to notice such unseemly and un- Christian language as that which is reported to have been used by Archdeacon LlErast, at the meeting held at Cashel on Sunday last for the extension of the tenant-right throughout the whole of Ireland. We would fain hope that there must have been some mistake or misapprehension of the sentiments attributed to a person who professes to be a minister • of the Gospel, and who has attained a certain rank in the Church of the great majority of the Irish people ; but, unfortunately, Archdeacon Learast has already earned an unenviable notoriety from the abuse he has already poured forth against English institutions and the Eng lish people, ;and which it has heretofore been our painful duty to censure in no sparing terms. We fear, therefore, that there may be but too much foun dation for the reports that have been promulgated— and we cannot refuse credence thereto, at least until their accuracy is impugned, and some contradiction put forward by or on behalf of the person to whom they are ascribed. We need not say how happy we should be to publish any such contradiction, to vin dicate the character of a person calling himself a Christian minister from such grave and weighty im putations. The former harangues in which this venerable gentleman indulged exhibited singular instances of had taste and a total absence of anything like gentle manly feeling. He abused in the most outrageous terms those who were heaping benefits upon his countrymen : he endeavoured to excite the animosity of the people against their benefactors, and used the influence belonging to his clerical posi tion for the unworthy purpose of inflaming the popular mind against the Government who had fed his dis tressed and destitute countrymen in the hour of ad versity. But in no part of these orations did he reach the pitch of atrocity to which he ascended on the last Sabbath-day, when addressing those whom he at'. mitted to be " the excitable Tipperary men." If such is their character, it was surely the more incumbent on the speaker to avoid those irritating topics which would act on their inflammatory temperaments, to abstain from using any language that could by a possibility be misconstrued or misunderstood. The soil of his county had been polluted but the preceding day with the blood of a humane and estimable gentleman, who at the moment was suffering under the wounds inflicted by an assassin, and from the effects of which but the faintest hope of his recovery was entertained. Another victim had also perished on the borders of the county by the murderer's hang on the same day. The painful intelligence must have been known at the meeting, and the fearful blood shed that had been of almost daily occurrence in Tipperary for some time past was but too notorious. Surely a clergyman, fresh from the duties of his sacred profession, should not have suffered himself to say, anything that would make murder appear less hateful, or which might be supposed even for a mo ment to be laudatory of the blood-stained assassin ; and yet we find the following words attributed to him :—" The Saxon scoundrel, with his belly full of Irish meat, could well afford to call his poor, honest, starving fellow-countrymen savages and assassins ; but if in the victualling department John Bull had suffered one-fifth of the privations to which the Tipperary men were subject—if he had courage ' enough he would stand upon one side, and shoot th( first man he would meet with a decent coat upon his back. But the Saxon had not courage to do anything like a man—he growls out like a hungry tiger." Now, what interpretation could possibly be given to these passages by " an excitable" people ? is it not palpably that it is a courageous and manly act to avenge yourself on those by whom you were op pressed, or to whom your sufferings were in any de gree attributable ? if you were exposed to privations, to deprive of life those who were more fortunately cirsumstanced than yourself? Having thus given this significant hint as to the course which a Saxon would pursue " if he had courage," he immediately after waxes eloquent on their wrongs, and points out the tyrannical oppressors—the landlords. He says, " Look to that fertile valley, teeming with luxuriance and beauty beneath our eyes—taking in the richness of the district to the Devil's Bit, and from Barnane to the princely Shannon—inha- bited by as fine a race of men, and by as lovely and virtuous a race of women, as any to be found in the world. With all this richness, all this beauty, and all this goodness, what was it made Tipperary so often a scene of blood ? The cause was evident to all men's eyes—landlordism was the demon that blasted what was meant for happiness—landlordism which, without mercy, would lev'el the hovel of the poor man, which had sent the bone and sinew of the land to fertilize and enrich the forests and the prairies of America, which had sent the poor man to starve in workhouses, or to die by the roadside, be neath the canopy of Heaven, and under the rain which God had sent to fertilize the earth." Arch deacon 'AMMAN may afterwards say that he does not stand up in defence of the murderer ; but could any words he might subsequently utter take away the effect of the language we have quoted ? Tipperary wil boyl mit be s are notoriously quick of a p pre h ension. They slow in pickin g out what they, at least, m ay believe to be the real meaning of the venerable orator. A Saxon, if he suffered privations and was oppressed, would shoot his tyrant.

That some may occur is very probable, but it is really a waste of space to notice the rumours in question. , There has been a small arrival of gold this morning by the General Steam Navigation Company's steamer the Rainbow. The recent shipments of bullion by the John Bull and the Wilberforce, to Hambre', were principally composed of silver. With respect to colonial produce we are thus ad vised 1— " Although the deliveries for home consumption of the leading articles of colonial produce exhioit an in crease upon the transactions of the year, yet those for the month ending October 10 show a considerable reduc tion compared with those of the same month last year, and show symptoms of a declining trade, suffering from the recent pressure and the d►mmishing emp!oyment in the country; and such being the case, while the imports generally show a considerable increase, goes far to account for the extreme depression of prices which has recently been experienced, " The importation of coffee for the month ending the 10th October shows a considerable increase upon that of the corresponding month of the two last years; but it will be remarked that much more than the whole dif ference consists of colonial coffee, that of foreign growth actually exhibiting a great reduction, being less than one•half of the quantity imported last year. "The following table shows the quantity of Tea im ported, duty paid, exported, and the total deliveries for the nine months under review, by which it will he ob served, that while the imports show an increase of about 3,500,0001 b., the consumption shows a slight reduction ; but, on the other hand, the export shows an increase of fully 1,000,0001 b ; making an increase of nearly 800,000 lb. in the total deliveries ; the aggregate of which, however, only amounts to 39,826,5161 b., against an import of 44,912,8801b5.

THE MEETING OF THE NEW PA RLIAMENT. Whitehall, Parliamentstreet, and, in fact, the whole of the avenues leading to the seat of the Im perial Parliament, presented an animated appearance almost before noon. To-day, at one o'clock, 200 or 300 people had gathered at the end of Parliament street, and stretching towards the door of the Com mons', anxious to get a view of the Peers and Mem bers of the new Parliament, journeying towards the Houses, some of whom were enthusiastically singled out by their admirers, and were well received as they passed along. An impression, however, seemed to have gone abroad that the Queen would come down in state, but in this the sight-seers were disappointed. IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT. (THIS DAY.) HOUSE OF LORDS. The new Parliament of 1847 was opened by Com mission to-day. The Lords Commissioners were the Archbishop of Canterbury, the Lord Chancellor, the Marquis of Lansdowne, Earl Spencer, and the Earl of Auckland. The Lords Commissioners took their seats at the foot of the throne shortly after Two o'clock, when MARKET NEWS.—(THIS DAY.) SAY MILIMETS.

The Members then withdrew, and prayers having been read by the Bishop of St. Asaph, and the Lord Chancellor having taken the oaths, the swearing in of Peers was proceeded with. Among the Peers present besides the Lords Commissioners, we noticed Lord Campbell, the Earl of Denbigh, the Earl of Straf ford, Lord Beaumont, the Earl of Ilchester, the Marquis of Donegal, Lord Bolton, &c., &c. 4,4 0 r z Sr • ;to V " It° I. • • • ~~ is~vl 'gat LOND( )N, TBLIRSDAY. NOVEMBER 18, 1847 Parliament has enough in all conscience to arrange before the Christmas vacation. Something must lse done about Currency—however much the Chancellor of the Exchequer may be disposed to remain in indo lence amidst the disasters of a monetary panic. Some thing must be done about Ireland—for the mitiga tion of the sufferings inseparable from a wintry season id that impoverished country, and especially for the diminution (if possible) of those agrarian assassinations which desolate a ehristian land as though its people were the votaries of Thuggee• Something must be done about the reorganization of the Penal Settlements, and something must—at the least—be said about Educational and Sanitary im provements. Lord JOHN RUSSELL must say his eatechism ; Sir Cu Ali LES WOOD ditto; Sir WILLIAM SOMERVILLE ditto; Earl GREY, ditto Lord PALMERSTON ditto. There will be a multiplicity of interrogations ; and whenever the replies cannot be satisfactory they will no doubt be delightfully evasive. At the best, how ever, very little more must be anticipated than what is preparative to the comprehensive enactments re served for the session of 1848. The fascinations of grouse-shooting and deer-stalking may bediminished, but there will soon be a new allurement in the re currence of the festivities of December.

HOUSE OF COMMONS. The reporters' gallery was thrown open at half past one, when we found that upwards of forty Members had assembled on the floor of the House. The group every moment received fresh accessions, and shortly before two the meats and spaces between the benches and between the table and the door of the House were inconveniently filled. Amongst the crowd we observed—the Attorney and Solicitor- General, Mr. Tufnell, Lord Seymour, and Mr. J. A. Smith, the proposer and seconder of the Speaker, Mr. Greene, Mr. Masterman, Ir. Alderman Sidney, Mr. spencer, Mr. W. J. Fox, Mr. Stuart, Mr. Macgregor, Mr. Baines, Mr. B. Cochrane, Mr. Collins, Mr. Moffatt, Mr. Browne, Colonel Peel, Mr. Disraeli, Sir James Duke, Mr. Bernal, Lord Harry Vane, Mr. Feargus O'Connor (who seated himself next Colonel Peel, on the Opposition bench, after heartily shaking hands with the Attorney-General and Mr. Spooner), Sergeant Talfourd, Mr. Cowan, Sir H. Inglis, Mr. H. Muntz, Mr. Martin, Mr. Fox Maule, Mr. Goulburn, &c., &c. Mr. Ley, the Clerk of the House, took his seat at the table shortly before two o'clock. Most of the old Members occupied the same seats as during the last Parliament. The Speaker of the last Commons entered the House at two o'clock. He was extremely well received by the Honourable Members, who at the time numbered full 500. Lord John Russell and the Chancellor of the Ex chequer entered shortly after. They were followed by Lord Morpeth, Mr. Labouchere, and Lord Marcus Hill. Lord George Bentinck came in about the same time. At a quarter-past two there was a general move from the body of the House to the seats. Mr. Williams, the door-keeper, then ushered in Sir Augustus Clifford, the Usher of the Black Rod, who was arrayed in full uniform. Advancing to the table and addressing Mr. Ley, he said— ' Gentlemen, I am commanded by the Lords Com missioners, by virtue of the writs addressed to them by her Majesty, to require the immediate attendance in the House of Peers of this Honourable House, to hear the royal commission read." More than two-thirds of the Members followed Sir Augustus Clifford to the bar of the House of Lords. The Members returned in a quarter of an hour. After a short pause, Lord SEYMOUR rose and said, amidst the most profound attention—Gentlemen, having heard from her Majesty's gracious Commission that this House is now called upon to choose a Speaker, I offer myself for the purpose of proposing a motion which I believe will meet with the cordial unanimity of all who hear me.—(Loud cheers.) Those Honourable Mem bers who in former Parliaments have wit nessed the ability, the judgment, and the impartiality—(Cheers) —with which Mr.o harles Shaw Lefevre has discharged the high and important duties of the Speaker of this House will, at once, agree with me that, at the present time, no other selec tion should be made.—(Continued cheering.) lam sure that his conduct has been equally satisfactory to Members within the House, as it has been equally advantageous to the public service. —(Hear, hear.) Those Hon. Members who have not had the advan tage of a seat in this House, and who have not wit nessed his conduct in the chair, will, I think, best discharge their first public duty by agreeing in the selection of that Right Hon. Gentleman who, on every occasion—amidst the heat of party conflict and of political debate—has been able, with great cour tesy and urbanity, to maintain the authority of the chair—(Loud cheering)—and thereby to uphold the dignity and the high character of this great deliberative assembly.—(Hear, hear.) I be lieve also that they will find from his experience —from his knowledge of the details of private and of public business, that they will obtain the greatest advantage from his experience in those matters which young Members cannot at once be come intimately acquainted. I believe that Honourable Members will be unanimous in supporting the motion ; and therefore it will be un necessary for me to say anything more in favour of it ; and I shall, therefore, conclude by proposing, " That the Right Hon. Mr. Charles Shaw Lefevre do take the chair.”—(Loud cheers, which lasted for some minutes.) Mr. d. A. SMITH seconded the motion. JOINT STOCK BANKS.

On the 13th the Federal Directory received infor mation from Argau, by courier, that four battalions of infantry and several companies of cavalry and artillery made an attempt to invade the Freiant of the canton of Argau. They endeavoured to force the passage of Reuss between Dietwyl and Mar, but some companies of artillery from Zurich, supported by detachments of militia, oppesed so vigorous a re sistance to them that they were obliged to retrace their steps. The Papal Nuncio at Lucerne is taking an active part in encouraging the fanaticism of the Sonder bund. He has installed himself high priest of the Jesuit League, and passes his time in blessing ban ners and blunderbusses, and exciting the fanaticism of the ignorant peasantry of the mountain cantons. This worthy Nuncio was appointed by LAMBRUS cIIin during the pontificate of GREGORY XVI., and considering the known retrograde tendency of his ideas, it is surprising that Pius IX. should have so long suffered him to misrepresent the now liberal Court of Rome. We read in the Patria of Florence of the 9th : " Blood flows at Fivizzano ! The Modenese are the aggressors I Pietra Santa has risen up in arms ! An express from Fivizzano has just arrived bringing us these tidings. The Modenese arrested, without knowing why, the sergeant-major of the Tuscan carabineers. The people took his part. The Mode nese fired upon the people, killed one, and wounied several. Upon this all the citizens flew to arms, and skirmish ensued, which was going on at the departure of the courier, who, in passing by Pietra Santa, found that town in arms, and on the point of going to the rescue of their brethren. May God protect justice and liberty ! Courage !" The Tuscan Government has published an official statement of the occupation of Fivizzano, ending with the following paragraph : " Thus an act was perpetrated which the Tuscan Government could neither foresee nor prevent, and which, with respect to the rights and the dignity of the Sovereign and the State, must be the subject of grave and serious consideration." Considerable excitement prevails in Rome in con sequence of the removal of BOTTI from the office of Censor of the Press, and the appointment in his place of SBA&EETTI, whose tendencies are towards the re trograde party. The conductors of the various Roman journals had an interview with SBAILIIETTI on the 6th, which was of a nature anything but satis factory. On the same day a deputation of citizens waited on Cardinal FERRETTI to obtain permission to hold a celebration on the 15th, the day on which the pro vincial deputies were to assemble. The Cardinal Secretary acceded most readily to this request, and seized the opportunity of referring to the proceedings of M. SBARIUTTI in relation to the press, of whose conduct he spoke in terms of disapprobation, adding that the POPE had resolved to grant the utmost prac• ticable freedom to the press, and with that view had named a commission, under the presidency of M. AMId He concluded his observations by the fol lowing words :—" When I shall see a good and liberal law upon the press brought into operation— when the Council of State shall have been organized — when the municipality shall have commenced its functions—l shall then return to the ranks of the people, and I will be in relation to the Holy Father the interpreter of the wishes and the supporter of the rights of his subjects." These words were received with the most lively satisfaction. A letter from Rome of the ith says— " I have the pain of announcing to you the defini tive retirement of Cardinal Ferretti. He has just again offered his resignation to the Pope, which has been accepted by his Holiness. The successor of the Cardinal is not yet known. It will be, it is said, Cardinal Baluffi, Archbishop of Imola, or Cardinal Amat, Apostolic Legate at Bologna. Both are wor thy servants of Pius IX." A Roman journal states that, on the conference between the POPE and the Austrian Amba , sador on the 3d, the question c,f Ferrara was discussed in a conciliatory manner. There was a fresh outbreak at Messina on the Bth, and several conflicts took place between the troops and the populace, which, however, led to no definitive results. The horrible cruelties practised by Den- CARETTO, the Minister of Police, have driven the people to despair, and at this moment probably the whole of Sicily is in insurrection. The Madrid mail of the 11 th had not arrived in Paris at the hour at which the post left. The Paris papers of Tuesday contain no decisive intelligence from Switzerland. The Federal army had arrived before Friburg, but had as yet com menced no, attack on the city. According to the ConBtitutionnei, an understanding has been come to between General DUFOUR and the Friburg autho rities for the surrender of the city so soon as the Federal troops shall be in possession of a convent so situated as to command the place. This prudent resolve on the part of the authorities, will no doubt, be strenuously opposed on the part of the Jesuits, who have kept the greater number of the French students in the college at Friburg (while the Irish and the other students have been sent away) ex posed to all the horrors of the siege, and encou raged by these " ministers of peace " to place them selves in the front of the fight, in order to give France an opportunity of interfering should any of these students be killed. The Count DE MONTALEMBERT, the friend, the patron, and the champion of the Jesuits in France, has opened a subscription in behalf of the Sonderbund, BOURSE—Euus, TUESDAY, Nov. 16.

SNOAD V. LARDNER. This was the petition of William [Miller, and Louisa, his wife, praying for the discharge of order of the Court. It appeared that the plaintiff s ' b Y the will of George Snoad, of Brookland, in the county of Kent, who died in 1829, became entitled to a sum of 7,5001. at the decease of the testator a widow. The defendant, John Haddock Lardner, who was the surviving trustee of the testator's WWI married the widow Mrs. Snoad, and, in 1830, inves te the 7,5001. on the security of a mortgage on a free" hold estate, conveyed to him by Samuel Finn, the owner, by an indenture of release of April, 18 40, subject to redemption on the pre- paymen t of the sum of 7,5001., with interest at the rate of four per cent. The money remained ever since invested, the interest being applied in the paYnlent of an annuity of 3001 . per annum to the defendant a wife.
