Inninguit LONDON. SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 27, 1847 On the evening of next Thursday week, namely, on the 9th day of December, Lord JOHN RUSSELL will bring in a Bill for the further relief of her MAJESTY'S Jewish subjects from civil disabilities. On that evening the last blow is to be stricken against religious intolerance, the last demon of qte bigotry is to b e cas t ou t o f th e C ons titution. It is exorei :: ), impossible to expect that this legislative anythin will prove i ne ff ec t ua l as it is to anticipate g like resignation on the part of the more eisxcnicitalbcilnegoefr_thj Church enthusiasts. The question the baron Liors7 a Jew s it i n P ar li ament ? or, H as L DR ROTUSCHILD been elected to no pur pose by the enfranchised, England citi zens o f t h e metropol i s ?

'to the propriety of an isolated coincidence , it not as tiy . is as it. to the universal applica tion of a su b lime policy not as to the modification of an oath, but as to the erasure of a blot on the national. escutcheon, ill, inquiry is manly, c omprehensive, and explicit : it places under the consideration of the Imperial Par liament the demand—the last and most memorable demand of Christianity and Free d ruth s had Civil t and Civil and Religious Liberty be, in very deed, proclaimed to be the lite, and the genius, and the inspiration of the political constitt A tion of Great Britain ? It is well that the new Parliament should be enabled to associate with its inauguration the settlement of this momentous problem ; and it is especially well that the man who, in his capacity as First Lord of the Treasury, is to afford them that golden opportunity, is one why has already inscribed his name upon the pages of our history as THE __11111 4 1 0 .-- LONDON, IfiVitil4ll_l44o, NOVEMBER_ 27, Is4l. among not the least worthy of the emancipators of the population. It is well that the vigour of a newly elected House of Commons should be employed in proclaiming the equality of all classes of citizens ; and it is especially well that the Legislator who calls upon the popular representatives of the United Kingdom to pronounce that glorious declaration is a statesman such as Lord Joa Ruseau.—by whose geniu3, and eloquence, and patriotism the Test and Corporation Acts were expunged from the book of imperial statutes. The combination of persons, dates, and interests, is most propitious. When the experiences afforded by the past are re membered, the removal of the Jewish disabilities be. comes, to every impartial mind, a matter of neces sity rather than of choice—the completion of what has been long ago commenced, rather than the initiation of a novel scheme of politics. We must recollect this, that according to the law as it at present stands a Jew is not disqualified by the doctrinal belief of his religion from any other office but that of a Member of Parliament. An Israelite may be an elector; he is only prohibited (and that even only accidentally) from taking a seat in the Lower House at Westminster. He may exercise the prerogative of the franchise ; but a casualty prevents him from participating in the de liberations of the Senate. An Israelite may be de clared a sheriff—for that right was admitted during the reign of WILLIAM IV.—but he cannot be de clared a burgess of the Commons. An Israelite may become a municipal councillor—for that right has been admitted during the reign of her present Most Gracious MAJESTY-but he cannot become an occupant of the Ministerial or Opposition benches — he cannot sit below the gangway—he cannot pene trate further than the lobby. Every disability has been removed—excepting this. Every barrier has been levelled—excepting the barrier which excludes the children of the creed of Palestine from the interior of the Chambers of Parliament. And the obstacle— let it be borne in recollection—is one which, as we have already remarked, has merely an acci dental existence. That obstacle is in the formal wording of the Oath of Abjuration, —the phrase—the incidental expression—" On the The proposition with respect to the Bills now be fore the House for adjudication appears to be a re newal of that which was last year brought forward ; it is that a Committee shall be appointed, who are to take into their consideration all the schemes for which petitions have been presented, and to decide thereon which shall be proceeded with, and which passed over during the present session. It will be in the recollection of our readers, that, in 1846, a Committee was appointed for a similar purpose, and that so many difficulties were found to exist in the way of coming to a satisfactory decision, that, after frequent sittings and much deli beration, the attempt was abandoned, and every Bill was permitted to come before the House on its own merits, without reference to the number of other projects, or the amount of expenditure thereby con templated, and that consequently Bills were passed authorising an outlay of no less than 124,500,0001. 'rue faith of Christian." It is almost ludicrous to reflect that the only thing which precludes a Jew from taking up his position within view of the official chair of Mr. SPEAKER is a casual formula like this— " On the faith of a Christian "—language which was merely introduced to give some sort of emphasis to a renunciation of all allegiance to the house of STUART: and that this Oath of Abjuration (imposed by an Act of WILLIAM 111., and confirmed by another of GEORGE I.) was solely drawn up with reference to Catholics and Jacobites, the Legislature giving no more thought at the time to the unfortunate Israelites than they did to the worshippers of the THREE PRE• CIOUS BUDHAS. sterling. There is, however, little prospect of such extensive powers being again demanded, at least for some years to come. It is more than probable that it is only those in connexion with existing lines— such as deviations or short constructions—that will be sought for during the present session. The present Committee will, therefore, have a much easier task, and one of a less invidious na ture than that which was imposed on the Committee of 1846, who could scarcely be ex pected to decide between conflicting projects and rival undertakings without hearing the evidence that might be adduced and the arguments urged on behalf of the contending parties. The large demands of the railway companies may have had some effect in increasing the difficulties sus tained by all classes in the country during the present monetary crisis ; but it is most unjust in any manner to ascribe the calamity to the creation of railways. No, it was owing to the iniquitous monetary laws, by which the industry of the nation is fettered and re strained. There is, perhaps, scarcely any descrip tion of undertaking that requires so small an amount to be sent out of the country, in proportion to the entire outlay, as the construction of railways. They afford an extraordinary quantity of employment to the labouring classes, who would otherwise remain in idleness, a heavy burden on the property of the country, in place of materially increasing the national wealth. It is unnecessary to dilate on the wonderful benefits that have been derived from those gigantic projects ; how greatly time has been economised, and every description of property in their vicinities increased in value. With a better system of finance, and a well-regulated currency, there would be no necessity for preventing the full development of the national industry, the employment of every man able and willing to work. Besides this, it must on no account be forgotten that when Mr. PHASIC refused to be sworn in, because, as a member of the Society of Friends, he enter tained certain moral objections to an oath, he was permitted to made a solemn affirmation. When Mr. O'CONNELL refused to take the Oath of Supremacy because he did not conceive the doc trines of the Roman Catholic Church to be damnable, idolatrous, and blasphemous," the famous Act of Emancipation was passed, restor ing all their civil rights and immunities to those who were subservient to. the Papacy. Link :by link the chains of intolerance have been broken asunder. Bit by bit the code of bigotry has been torn to pieces, and scattered to the winds of heaven. One link of that cruel chain remains—one shred of that atrocious code has still to be destroyed ; and in demanding its destruction from the Legislature the Premier might with justice encourage its Members to this last manifestation of tolerance by remind ing them that the proposed relief of the civil disabilities upon the Israelites, is only► the revival of a truth already avowed by Parliament. The Swiss Vorort published on the 22d an an nouncement that a convention for the capitulation of the canton of Zug had been entered into by two deputies of that canton and General Durouit, subject to the ratification of the authorities of the canton, and that the federal troops were to occupy the territory on the 22d. An action had been fought on the 20th between the federal troops and those of Zug, in which the latter had been defeated. On the following day two commissioners arrived at General DUFOUR'S head. quarters to treat for peace. The following are the terms of the convention : " Article 1. The canton of Zug secedes from the Son derbund. " Article 2. The federal troops will occupy the canton in the eveuing of the 22d. " Art. 3. The federal troops will be lodged and main tained in the canton of Zug according to the military regulations. " Art. 4. Zug will disband its troops, whose arms will be deposited in the cantonal arsenal. The troops of the other states of the Sonderbund will quit the canton of Zug. " Art. 5. The arms of the landaturm are likewise to be deposited in the cantonal arsenal." The remaining articles are a mere repetition of those of the capitulation of Friburg. General DUFOUR published on the 22d a proclama tion to his army, announcing to them that on that day they would enter the territory of Lucerne. The General invites his troops to deport themselves as generous warriors, to spare the wounded, to respect the churches and all edifices consecrated to religious worship, to protect all defenceless individuals, and commit no depredations. The federal army was likewise to enter on that day the territory of Schwytz and Zug, and the head-quarters were to be trans ferred from Aarau to Muri. The intelligence from Ticino of the 19th states that the Sonderbund column of Uri and the Valais had not advanced beyond Facido, but that two bat• talions of Grisons were hourly expected at Bellin zona, and that Colonel LUvINI had force sufficient to defend the town until the arrival of reinforcements. General RADOWITZ left Berlin on the 21st inst, for Frankfort, where the affairs of Switzerland will, it is said, undergo a preliminary discussion. The visit of the President of the Germanic Diet, Count MUNCH BELLINOHAUSEN, to the Courts of Canis• rube, Munich, and Stuttgard, has not been attended with success, as those states refuse to advance troops towards the Swiss frontier, much to the mortification of Austria. On the 22d a protracted firing of musketry was heard at Asrau, and the Gazette de Bale states that it was reported that the Lucerne troops had been completely defeated by Genoral D UFOUR on that day. Several cases of cholera have occurred at Constan tinople. The Journal de Constantinople, of the gth, says— " The malady does not spread here with its habitual rapidity, and its character is very mild. In the space of thirteen days only nine undoubted cases have been re ported ; and although epidemic complaints generally are very violent at the very commencement, and seldom spare the first victims, out of the nine persons attacked four only have died, while one has completely recovered, and three are going on favourably towards recovery. As regards the ninth case, it is too recent to enable us to judge of the issue. From this it is to be hoped that the cholera will not make any great ravages at Constan tinople. We may remark, too, that the persons hitherto attacked were iu a position which rendered them parti cularly liable to the disease. Some of them were of the very poorest classes, and others had suffered great grief from the derangement of their affairs, and had given themselves up to all sorts of excess. The cholera as far as has hitherto been observed has not shown itself in the environs." The cholera has entirely ceased at Trebizond and Bagdad. We have received the following from our Lisbon correspondent:—. LBON, Nov. , . The Ministerial arrangem lS ents to which l9 1847 I alluded in my last have been dormant until this date.

That all the electors shall go to the poll, and try to bring the electors to vote, in accordance with their constitutional right, prevailing upon them not to abandon the urn ; and 3d. That in case any violence should be offered to them in the act of voting, that they were to retire peaceably from the electoral field without offering any resistance. During the meeting, twelve petty officers of the 2d battalion of volunteers tried to insult the electors, and make disturbances ; one of them went so far as wrest from the hands of an elector the manifesto of the committee that the elector was peaceably reading. This unwarrantable act was severely chastised by one of the bystanders, who struck him with a stone, which brought him to the ground. No further disturbance occurred. It is lamentable that these warriors show such courage now against unarmed citizens, pro. yoking them daily so as to endanger public tranquil lity, when before the Protocol their martial spirit ap peared so cast down. On Tuesday, the 16th, a deputation of the great electoral meeting called on the Minister of the In terior, Senhor CARVALRO E MELLO, and delivered the petition of the opposition, requesting her MAJESTY to prorogue the elections, and to give such orders as may ensure a due registration of all the voters who have a right to be electors. It seems the Minister received the deputation with great urbanity, and promised the request should be laid before her MA JESTY to obtain a decision, after hearing her respon sible advisers. A few nominations of civil governors have taken place, and amongst them Baron BE VALLONGO for Oporto, and Dr. MoNiz (ex-Deputy and lately a member of the Mixed Commission at the Cape of Good Hope) for Coimbra. These nominations, how ever, are of little consequence, as the political situa tion of this country is indeed most deplorable. To say the truth, but little is known abroad as to the true state of things in Portugal, and hence the em• piricisms which frequently appear in the correspon dences of some of the newspapers. and in the criti cism of many writers abroad, who are not over scrupulous in prescribing panaceas for a dangerous disease, without having a practical knowledge of the malady. Portugal is completely lacerated by the two ex treme parties, bent upon the destruction of each other, in order to remain masters of the field, and hence offering, as it were, to dispose of the throne and the nation as if they were public property. Both parties aim at power, and care little as to the means of obtaining it. The party of the Cabrals, weak in numerical strength, is, however, audacious, enterpris ing, ambitious, and revolutionary, owing to the per sonal character of its leader, who strives for power, caring little about the result, and despising the ob stacles he has to surmount. If this party could suc ceed, I have not the least doubt that a tremendous revolution would naturally be the result of such an event, and perhaps (may Providence avert it) the throne would be crushed to atoms in the vortex of a new convulsion. The Septembrist party, known by its democratical ideas, strives also after power, and if by any unforeseen circumstance it should be success ful the result will be a military revolution, as the army, notwithstanding that the majority are averse to the Cabrals, yet are opposed to the Junta partisans, not so much in political principles, but essentially with regard to individuals who are the ostensible leaders of this party. Thus, unfortunately, the vital questions politically discussed are for the most part questions of men not of principles. I will not say that the present Administration, how ever, composed of honest and conscientious men, is the most adapted to the present difficult circumstances, but what I can declare positively is that the princi ples they profess are undoubtedly the most fitting for Government, as they are staunch defenders of the QUEEN and the Charter, tolerant, moderate and for bearing. When will the Protocol end? This is a question of great national interest, as it is really impossible to obtain any good whilst foreign influence keeps alive the elements of discord! The tutorship of England and France in the Peninsula has been the cause of great evils, and will continue to produce the excep tional state in which both nations have been kept. The best course that England can now adopt is to let us alone : this was what the merchants of Mar seilles asked once of Louis XIV., when the KING put the question to them, in what way he could protect their trade ? Laissez noun faire, was their simple and witty answer. Let me say two words about the financial state of this country. There is a general outcry against the Government because it does not meet its engage meets, nor procure the means of meeting them. In general, foreigners speak superficially about our financial state, and the natives are biased by party spirit. Since the year 1834 all men in power have concealed the true situation of our finances, repre senting Portugal in a most prosperous situation ; yet since that year the revenue could never cover the ex • penditure, and so well'demonstrated is the fact, that in that very year after ,the civil war, when SILYA CARVALUO was ..linister, with all the resources he could derive from the sale of national property, he was obliged, nevertheless, to resort to loans, and especially a very considerable one, to cancel the paper money. CARVALHO'S successors in 1836, notwithstanding their economies, which were the abandonment of the payments of the dividends of the foreign debt, which was capitalized in 1840—be sides what was due to the public employes, also had recourse to loans. Since that period, Count ToJAL lived exclusively on private loans, without hazarding one penny of his own property. It is true, that during CABRAL'S Administration, many companies were established, the public empljyes were more regularly paid, and great jobbing went on. In the end all such colossal companies were mere bubbles—the capitals for the great enterprizes existed in the imagination of the creators of such schemes—a mock credit was constantly in action, the Bank with its bank-notes supplying the emergencies of the moment, so as to furnish more than thirteen thou sand contos to the Government, or three millions ster ling; and at last all this system of deception went to the ground. Let me add to this, the events of the Gth of October, and the civil war which followed those, and hence the causes of the present miserable state of our finances. Such being the state of affairs, how is it possible that the present Administration can find the means of providing the necessary funds to meet the daily expenses, when besides the evils already men tioned the revenues of the Customs are for the major part mortgaged or anticipated? With economy, with a good system in the collection of the revenue, with a reduction in the interest of the debt, and, above all, with honesty and good will, it is yet possible to re inetly the malady that so seriously afflicts this coun try, which no doubts deserves a better fate than her prc=ent one. I shall end this by noticing the arrival of the Sidon steam-frigate in five days from Portsmouth, with Lord DALHOUSIE on board. She leaves to-morrow for Gibraltar and Malta.

As the public, by the information afforded in Parlia ment, have become acquainted with the main points of the Bank return up to Monday last, the statement in last night's Gazette, which is to Saturday only, is of leas importance. Still it is interesting to note that the pt)- , lition of the Bank steadily improves, and that the desideratum now is employment for the ample funds at corn wand. The following is an- analysis of the return to the 20th inst.-- Notes issued . £23,525,845 Increase Rest Increase Public deposits Increase 1,228,037 The Eco del Comercio states Eiat Senor Iszu- Rll7, had resigned the embassy to Sweden, as he felt cfrilded at the attempt made to supersede him in fa'.our of EsPAarEao. The Bolsa was closed in honour of the QuEEN's Pe. We have received the Paris papers of Thursday. The Speech of the Queen of ENGLAND is the theme of universal comment, and, with the exception of the Republican National, of universal commenda tion. The Ministerial Debats says— " The speech of the Queen of England is, both as regards foreign affd4.s and domestic policy, one of the most important and substantial that we have had for a long time. A grand act of European policy which it was easy to foresee has become public and official. The Queen of Great Britain announces that she is in com munication with her allies on the Eubjeet of the civil war which ravages Switzerland, and compromises the general peace, and that her Government is ready to par ticipate in the measures which may be considered neces sary to restore the blessings of peace to the Helvetic Confederation. .Neither the word of intervention, nor that of simple mediation is pronounced ; the choice of one or the other of these two modes of action will be without doubt determined by circumstances which may ct.ange trona one day to the other. In any case, how ever, the principle is laid down, a nd S w i tzer l an d now knows that, if the bases established by European treaties ale to undergo some modification, it will only be with the concurrence of the powers who partake in the guarantee. In declaring that she has confidence in the maintenance of general peace, the Queen of England has, without doubt, in view, the state of agitation in which the peninsula of Italy is plunged. Up to this time we know of nothing that could shake this con fidence." The Opposition Constitutionnel is even more un stinting in its commendations. It says— " This document is remarkable for a character of frankness and honesty peculiar to governments which are really constitutional. There is scarcely reference in it to anything except the interior affairs of Great Britain. A paragraph, however, which seems to an nounce the approaching convocation of a Congress for reestablishing peace in Switzerland, will be remarked. I'he attitude of Mr. Peel, Cbarg6 d'Affaires of England to the Helvetic Confederation, indicates in advance the position which his Government will maintain in the Congress." Other deposits ... Decrease Seven day and other bills Decrease 2,691 Government Securities 10.633,607 Increase 50,000 The Radical Commerce is equally liberal in its praises of the Speech. It says— " Queen Victoria declares that she is in communica tion with her allies with respect to the affairs of Swit zerland, and that she has expressed to them her disposi tion to employ, in conjunction with them, her friendly' influence, with the view of restoring the benefits of peace to the Confederation. We hasten to take a note of this solemn declaration. Peace will be restored to the twenty-two cantons; but, without doubt, peace, with all the guarantees of order and good government, which did not exist in that country before the breaking out of the civil war, as is fully proved to us by the possibility of forming a state in the midst of that state, of a league capable of resisting the sovereign power of the Diet by at ms. We have to express a regret that, on this occit sion, as on so many others, it is by England, and not by France, that the first true word of the situation, and the only word in conformity with the international right of the constitutional powers, has been uttered. England has spoken of friendly influence; but M. Ciuizot, in the name of France, heel dared to cause an armed interven tion to be hoped for; he had even proposed it to M. de Metternich, as an article in the German Journal of Frankfort proves to us." The National says nothing concerning the allusion to Switzerland. It only revels in the idea that `• Ireland remains attached to the side of Eng land like 4 gnawing cancer." The ifonitear publiihes a royal ordonnance con yoking the Chambers for the 28th of December. The Constitutionnel has the following :—" It is an nounced that Marshal SEBASTIANI has waited on the KING to protest, in the name of a great number of lieutenant-generals, against the projected nomination to the rank of lieutenant-general of a major-general who at this moment fulfils high administrative functions." A Cabinet Council was held at the Tuileries on Wednesday, over which the KING presided in person. PARIS BOURSE, Nov. 25.—The tenor of the Speech of the Queen of England has had the effect of giving ad ditional firmness to our market, although the advance in prices has nut been material. Threes opened at 76f. 90c., and after reaching 77f. closed firm at 761. 95c, Fives were last called at 116 f. 30e. New Loan at 761. 70c.

The bills of exchange negotiated yesterday on the principal cities of the Continent, were taken at rather lower rates for the pound sterling. There are not any late colonial arrivals in the City to day. This has been a very quiet morning as respects reports of anticipated failures. There is a very limited amount of business doing in the City this morning. The Consol Market has been very variable this morn• ing. The value for the Account has been from 85 to 858, and the present rate is 85k. Consols for Money opened at 84k, and have since receded to 84k. Ex chequer-bills are yet at par to 2s. discount. Bank Stock is heavy, at 187, having begun at 1881. Three or four bargains have boen made in the Spa nish Three per Cents., at a fall from 29 to 28i. The Dutch Two-and-a-Half per Cents. are at 54k, and the Four per Cent. Certificates at 83k. In the Share Market a good deal of business has been transacted this morning, but the prices are still very flat indeed in most instances. Bitrl . lBll FUNDS THIS DAY AT ONE O'CLOCK.

THE WASHINGTON STEAH•SHIP.—The Ruby steamer has been lying in our roadstead since Tuesday, waiting the arrival of the Ocean Company's steamer, to take out her mails and passengers, that she may proceed directly for Bremen should she have sufficient coal in f.r that purpose. She was to have sailed from New York on the 11th inst., but it is now supposed she must have been detained there beyond that date. THE BRILLIANT.--This beautiful vessel went out of harbour yesterday. and had her first trial; her sailing qualities are of the first class—she seemed almost to fir through the water.

The in quiries have been exceedingly numerous, and have in cluded those of her Majesty, the Prince Consort, the Duchess of Kent, and a considerable number of the no. bility. GREENOCK, Nov. 23.—We are sorry to understand that the barque Lady Sale, of Greenock, which arrived here to-day, about one o'clock, has had to be put under quarantine, owing to the master and several of the crew being ill with fever. The disease broke out two days after she left St. John's.—. North British Mail. LONDON MECHANICS' INSTITUTION.—Last night the elocution class (conducted by Messrs. 13. 11. and L. Smart) gave an entertainment to the members of the institution and their friends, in the theatre of the insti tution. The entertainment was divided into two parts, and consisted principally of selections from the works of ponular authors, which were recited by the pupils of the class. In addition to those selections, the farce of State Secrets concluded the first part, and Morton's farce of The Original terminated the second part, and closed the evening's entertainment very agreeably. The class ex hibited very great proficiency is the several recitations, and the au - dienee testified their approval by hearty ap plause. Notwithstanding the unfavourable state of the weather the theatre was well filled.

IMMENSE INFLUX OF RAILWAY LALIOURERS INTO TUE AIETROPOIAS.—Owing to the recent stoppages of many of the railways now in progress, a vast number of labourers have been thrown out of employment ; the consequence of which has been that thousands have rushed to the metropolis. Seine of the principal streets were yesterday morning thronged with them, dressed in their curious garb, many of them soliciting alms from the shopkeepers. The magistrates at seine of the metro politan police•courts have also been applied to for assist ance, as the majority of them are now penniless. Do.

For it is a matter entitled to our remembrance thai in the commencement of the reign of GEORGE I. a Bill was passed suspending the laws formerly enforced against the Jews, and that the benignant provisions of that Bill continued in operatio❑ for three years afterwards. Shall a Parlia ment of GEORGE I. display more tolerance than a Parliament of VICTORIA I.? Shall the example which was afforded in the instance of Mr. PEASE go for nothing, and the still more brilliant course pur- ,ued towkrds THE LIBERATOR and his co-religionists be in this instance null and fruitless ? What PEASE was to the Quakers, and O'CONNELL to the Catho lics—shall not ROTHSCHILD be to the Jews ? Can we remain impassive when we are conjured by an earnest clergyman of the Church of England • to allow Israelites to participate in the fabrication as well as in the enforcement of the laws—to add their intelligence to the national councils, as well as their obedience to the aggregate loyalty of the people ? The question is a short one, but it is one pregnant with most eloquent meaning—Are we, in truth, advocates of tolerance in things ethical and political : is our motto of " Civil and Religious Liberty" a truth or a humbug? We cannot object to the nature of the measures which the Chancellor of the Exchequer introduced last night with respect to Railways, although we by no means concur in the arguments adduced by the Right Honourable Baronet in support of his views. These measures relate to companies which have al ready received the legislative sanction to their pro sects, and to those whose schemes are still before Parliament, either standing over from last year or now about to be brought forward for the first time. There is to be no compulsory interference with the companies that have already obtained their Acts. Such a course would involve a breach of faith towards those who had invested their capital in these undertakings without the slightest reason to suppose that the representatives of the people could ever be induced to violate the contract into which they, on the part of the nation, had entered with the several companies. Such an imputation should not be en countered if the benefits to be attained by the total cessation of the works were less problematical than we believe them to be. These companies are divided into two classes—viz., those which have already com menced their operations, whose roads are actually in course of construction ; and those which had not commenced their works up to the day of the intro• 'luction of the Bill. There is no power or authority )f which they are at present possessed taken away from the former class, they may still proceed as rapidly as they may think proper ; but if they should be desirous of suspending or retarding their opera tions, they are to be authorised to do so for a limited time, without forfeiting any right or privilege. whatsoever. For this purpose they are to be al lowed an extension of time for the completion of their works, and for concluding the purchase of the lands they are empowered to take under the pro visions of their several Acts. The exact period of this extension is not yet settled—the Right Hon. Baronet leaving it to be decided in Committee whether it should be for two or three years beyond the times limited in their respective Acts. This pro position is fair and equitable, and no person can object with reason thereto. It would, perhaps, be better if the time were extended even beyond the maximum of three years, suggested by Sir CHARLES WOOD. It is manifest that no general rule can be applicable to every case; each must be judged ac cording to its own peculiar circumstances, and we cannot see any objection to permit the share holders to decide on the period of extension, the approbation of the Railway Board being essen- nada% a " 1 A of J C e l w er i g sr D a i n s ' a 's bil A i t p i e o s i , o as be tu a r rin f g av Prosp ects, and Policy of the Church of England.
