THR ANNUAL SUBSCRIPTION TO THE NORTHER DAILY 'PIMPS Is TWO GUINEAS m ANNUM C~~C ttl'Af! THURSDAY, JUNE 26, 1866 -4.--- HERESY is becoming contemptibly small, and heretics, as a natural consequence, " beantifully less." Excommunication by a Church, and civil proscription have ceased to be tragical realities, and have become the most laughable farces of the day. Men of all creeds and every imaginable hne of politics now meet in Parliament on equal terms. The Church of • England man, the Methodist, Wesleyan, ,Uniterian, Swedenborgian, Quaker, and thOugh last, not least, the Roman Catholic, are seen sitting together in the House of Commons in that blissful state of tranquility and mutual friendship which must lead other nations to believe that the millenium hi nearer at hand than we thini,; The Jew, although a British subject by birth, ri, tang cane, and instinct, is the only man professing . to have any spiritual faith.at all, who is not admissable into the presence of the mass of diversified believers who occupy our temples of legislation. The Jew is assessed and. taxed. He is liable to be called on to .defend .the land of his birth. He must obey, and support the supremacy of our ls.ws. We form our opinions of his worth,. as . a citizen, by the same moral and intellectual standard we apply to Christians. He has no divided allegiance ; The - motto of the British born Jew is, "My " God and Great Britain." We need scarcely continue the enumeration of the Jews' qualifications for a seat in a political Paradise. His Constitutional title to the elevation he seeks we believe to be his British birth. We cannot suffer a Jew to become naturalised i a any way, make him a citizen, and subject to every species of taxation, and then deny him the right of representation. Taxation has been made the basis 9f our representative system, which, although a most. unwarrantable departure from the letter and spirit of the Constitution, the community from does not exem pt any elasS of the payment of local and national charges. The • Jew is made to pay with " the t ree faith of "a Christian ; him the these obligations gives at elections, Nhether Wanted PONY, from 14 t 3 15 hands high. ady to ride or drive, with good action, Price not to exceed £2O.

But we will pass over for an instant the right of the Jew, and glance at the anomalous position in which the oath of abjuration places a Christi:An constituency, who return a Jew to Parliament. The electors of England may return a pagan, Mussulman, idol worshippers, men who have never read the Scriptures, or heard THE gpspel preached, and they nialce_ excellent legis lators when they do not object to tale an oath of abjuration ! • Suppose the Jew was to answer the request of a Christian legislature, by saying : " Swear not at " all." The rebuke would fall heavily on all but the Quaker, who will not swear, and who always has a smile to bestow on such human folly as that of asking a man to abjure a. traditional hobgoblin• The, man who takes the oath of allegiance to a ruling sovereign, must, we need not say as a logical consequence, abjure all pretenders. If a man swears he will support the Crown and Constitution, what more can be demanded him in reason ? And what becomes e Constitutional right of a constituency to return whom they please, when the representa' tive they have chosen is ready to abjure all that is dangerous and objectionable, except " on the true " faith of a Christian"—household words of Par liament, which admit, at the present day, of as many heretical and Apostolic interpretations, as they did in CRANMER'S time, and for ages before his life was taken, for what .was considered blasphemy. Reason must interpose, and settle these monstrous absurdities ; and the Peers, by their opposition, are only provoking a discussion in which they will loose much of the popularity which is so essential to the preservation of that harmony which ought, at all times, to exist be tween the Upper . and Lower Houses of Parlia ment. The people have espoused the cause of the Jew, and the measure of justice they seek for their Jewish fellow-citizens cannot be much longer withheld. . As Legislators, they would be found on the vantage ground in all matters relating to our foreign policy. On financial ques_ tions they would be esteemed high authorities. On civil topics they would take the lead on the side of liberty; and if they voted on religious matters, it would be in favour of perfect equality. Here, then, we should find them sitting on the benches of diplomatic demi-gods, saints of mammon and disciples of purity. In fact, the perfection of our spiritual and political Babel will never be attained until the Jew is admitted into Parliament ; and there can be no legislative millenium until the Jews are allowed to take part in the making of the laws under which they live. Some of our Peers seem to be afraid that giving them such a high privi lege would interfere with the rebuilding of Jerusa lem ; but, if we are to believe prophets, they need not be at all apprehensive on that point. There are many millions of Hebrews ready to embark on such an enterprise, and, as Christians and philan thropists, we ought to be rejoiced—nay, we ought to work might and main for their deliverance from the hands of their cruel and sanguinary oppressors throughout Christendom. It is high time that the persecution of the Jews ceased, and we know of no surer way of securing their amelio ration abroad, than raising them at home to the rank of Parliamentary Representatives, and bestowing upon them all the political privileges and moral weight enjoyed by British subjects IT is but little over 1,500 years since Britain threw off the Roman yoke, and became an inde. pendent Empire, and the race whose territory formed a part of the 1,700,000 square miles which the ancient Romans had subjugated, can now boast of having over 8,000,000 of square miles for a national domain. Acquiring sovereign control over such a vast extent of the earth's surface will be found to have been an easy task, compared with its good government and general advancement. The immensity of our grasp of dominion appears beyond all human powers of retention. Our daring and enterprise have selected the remotest corners of the globe for conquest and civilisation. Turn into whatever dangerous channel, towards isolated bays, creeks, rivers, any distant sea, rugged mountain range, desert or sun-burnt plain, and there the Anglo-Saxon is to be met on his onward course. It would be rampant infidelity to deny the Deity the authorship of this onward movement of our race—that great and visible "design—the consummation of which will be the full measure of man's greatness. Had physical obstructions and human laws to impede the world's progress as we find it, been wanting—if the face of this planet could be slipped over like a chaulked floor—had there been no difficulties to encounter, and no dangers to overcome; the strides the Britishers have made, would leave no amaze_ ment after them. But, here we are, after 1,500 years of comparative independence, masters of fully 8,000,000 square miles of territory ! We dare not boast of these triumphs, for full success depends on how we use good fortune. The wisest heads amongst us have never foreseen the heavy responsibilities our restless spirit was bring• ing upon us. The man who could reduce our wants and obligations to a minimum, has always been esteemed the cleverest fellow. Those who would throw Colonies to the winds, and depen dencies of other kinds to the waves, carried away the palm from the council chamber and the senate. Those who could do the most for the few, and the least for the many, were supposed to have the philosopher's stone in their pockets Who ever heard a statesman declare that, the spread of Christianity was the march of subjugation, and the advance. of civilisation the fulfilment of the promised universal amelioration of mankind. Fancy JONES 'LoYD talking in this strain, or PEEL'S attributing England's progressive great ness to anything but a bank charter, or an advance in the rates of discount, . and " a fall " generally in the prices of all commo dities to bring back gold." Fortunately, while politicians are dreaming about trifles and abortions, and diplomatists are wearing their brains with notes, letters, despatches and intrigues, the great and good work is going on apace. Dame Progress is no longer bound to the chariot .wheels of orotcheteers, or the dogmas of the bullion wor• shipper. No Bank Charter Act, conceived in '44 abandoned in '47, dreaded by a mighty. Empire in '54, and the parent of -the most abominable usury and fiscal extortion in '55.. and. '56, can thwart the onward course of the great Providential design on which we are endeavouring to fix the public mind. The promised scheme of universal civilisation must have a centre, and the instruments where- with to carry it out. Has Great Britain been chosen as that centre, and the Britishers as the History must answer these questions. Our duty is to see that the part assigned to us is performed with becoming though t fullness and care—that we hold together that Empire, the sovereignty of which no one can dispute, in the bonds of friendship and manliness —that we may be prepared to meet the changes, which are essential to the maintenance of our dominion, to say nothing of the extension of our instruments? rule, as becomes a nation worthy of the trust which time has brought upon us. Civilisation has to prepare.fora It change of a p os iti ve an d organ i c impossible to read the accou n t s from the gold is fields of California and Australia, without discovering that incalculable changes in NORTHERN TIME S.-.--LIVERPOOL, THURSDAY the material condition of the industrial portion of civilised States must take place, in obedience to the increased supply of that metal which has hitherto regulated the supply, demand, and price of every other commodity. War has not checked the production of gold in any way, except by keeping back emigration. • The bullion statistics received from the Colonies give us but a mere approximation to the yield of their mines. Last year we received upwards of 12,000,0001. in gold and coin from Australia; and the receipts this year will probably amount to One-third more—that is, the gold we shall draw from this one quarter will be about equal in value to the whole of the cotton we get from the United States. _ It is preposterOus to suppose that such an addition to the quantity of any one product can be made without affecting the value of the article itself, and that of every other commodity to which it is ever so remotely related. But whether the change will show itself in the depreciation of the value of bullion, or in an advance in the price of commodities to meet the loss in the purchasing power of gold, is a matter of little moment to those who look to the advance. ment of civilisation for the consolidation of the British Empire. Gold is the lever we have selected to raise us to the s higheSt pinnacle. of prosperity and renown, and with that lever in the hands_ of Great Britain, her people have the means of raising themselves and doing their duty towards the hundreds of millions of human beings who inhabit the 8,000,000 of square miles they have conquered. Australia offers a home, with every affluence, to millions of our impoverished country men. Industry must there find a handsome inde pendence, whether it be in trade, commerce, or at the plough. There the earth is literally teeming with that which men cannot obtain at home, and to attempt to estimate the present condition or future prospects of such a country would be both presumptuous and impossible, as we really do not understand all that flippant rubbish our London, and indeed local, cotemporaries pour forth about "over -trading," " over-speculation," and " reckless buoyancy," when speaking of our commercial transactions with a people whose bullion wealth is inexhaustible. Our readers well remember how loudly we protested against, the " bear " and banking claptrap which was preached at the commencement of the panic of 1853, and we will now ask our sapient opponents of the trade " bearing " school what England or her Southern Colonies would have lost if all the ships and ship ments, passenger traffic and gold digging, emigra tion and waste land cultivation, we saw in full operation in 1853, had been continued up to the present hour ? Give a veritable gold field labour, and who will pretend to tell us when its possessors are " over-trading?" The word is " Onward !" and the Britisher must obey, let brainless and heartless men'say what they please. /NETARY AND COMMERciA LIVERPOOL, WEDNESDAY EVEMN The Liverpool Cotton Market has shown more strength today, and with an active demand from the trade, a good business has been done, the sales amounting to 12,000 bales, of which 4,000 have been taken for speculation and export. Prices are firmer. There has been a good business doing in the Liverpool Share Market, - and the tone of the max-' ket has shown increased firmness, closing at its best, at the following quotations :—Aberdeen, 14 141.

Accounts from the Vienna Bourse state that no improvement has taken place in the general state of its affairs. The markets for all descriptions of stock opened this week heavily, with no ameliora tions in the price of last week. The feeling against the French Company relative to the Austrian Railway Stock has not subsided, and the depression which exists in the Paris Bourse, with the depreciation in the Credit Mobilier Com• pany's shares, has created a want of confidence in the affairs of that society at Vienna. Speculation has been checked considerably, and many Austrian capitalists who were induced to invest in Railway and New Bank Stocks have already experienced large losses. Accounts from Beilin state that the wool fair held there continued to be animated. The quantity of the new clip brought for sale amounted to 90,000 cwt, besides 2,000 of old stock. The producers and merchants had profitted by the experience of the markets at Breslau and Posen, and there were no exaggerated demands made to keep purchasers from the market. The washed wools were in good condition, and superior to what they were last year. The prices obtained were from 4to 6 thalers per fleece for inferior sorts, and 8 to 10 thalers for fine qualities. Combing wools ranged from 70 to 80 th. per centner, being a rise of 2 to 3 thalers on last year's prices. At Weimar the fair from the 16th to the 18th instant, exhibited a very animated appearance, and the business done showed the following satisfactory results :—The quantity brought for sale amounted to 39,460 stones of 22 lbs (German) each, being 3,824 stones more than last year • of these 10,000 stones have been sold for stock; 22,460 have been for cash,' 1,0)0 for samples, and 6,000 have been left on hand. The average prices realised have been from 14 thalers to 17 th per stone against 12 to 16/ th last year. At Breslau transactions have been limited, not amounting to more than 400 cwt, of which the prices obtained were, for superfine qualities 130 thalers, for ditto locks 90 th, and inferior ditto from 76 th to 80 th. The influx of specie into the Bank of England continues very large. On Saturday about 100,000/_ went in On Monday also 100,0001., and yesterday about 200,0001., so that the stock of bullion in that establishment is likely to reach a very high figure. The Funds remain extremely firm, with an improving- tendency. In the afternoon a further advance of per cent was attained, owing to reports, which obtained credence in very good quarters, that the bank will to-morrow reduce its rate of discount. The closing prices were thus quoted :-944 048. The supply of capital was to-day abundant, and rates in the discount•market continue decidedly below those of the bank. The Paris Bourse shows . renewed heaviness. The Three per Cent Rentes experienced to-day a fall of to 4 per cent. Considerable orders for invest ment in sound French securities, are sent from this side to Paris. In the Railway Share Market, the following were the closing quotations : Caledonian, 62k 622.

CORONER'S INQUESTS.—The Coroner held inquest s yesterday, on fthe bodies of John Johnston, who died in the Northern Hospital, and on William Roughsidge, both of whom died from injuries accidentally received. On the body of Pat Joyce, aged 76, who died suddenly of natural causes. Verdicts in accordance with the evidence were returned in each case. THE LANCASHIRE MILITIA.—The Queen has been graciously pleased to mark her sense of their valuable services by signifying her commands, through the Secretary of State for War, that the following militia regiments, which volunteered their services abroad, should be per mitted to bear the word " Mediterranean" on their colours : viz., the Ist Royal Lancashire and the 3rd Royal Lanca shire regiments. LIVERPOOL AND KIRRDALE PRISONS.—A Blue-book was issued on Saturday, containing the Nineteenth Report of the Government Inspectors of Prisons, but its con- tents lose much of the interest they would otherwise possess from the fact of the visits to which they refer having been made as far back as August, 1853. There was a decreased nnmber of prisoners, both at Kirkdale and in Liverpool Borough Gaol, and the reports are highly satisfactory. DISSOLUTIONS OF PARTNERSHTP3.-11. Lewis and C.

The monument is designed to commemorate the Harrow officers who fell in the Crimea. THE ARCTIC EXPEDITION.—The Gazette of Tuesday night states that the Lards Commissioners of the Admiralty have duly considered all claims preferred by persons deeming themselves entitled, and have determined Dr. James Rae to be entitled, on behalf Of himself and companions in his expedition, to the reward of £lO,OOO offered to any party or parties who should first succeed in ascertaining the fate of the expedition under the command of Sir John Franklin. A RUSSIAN . PRINCESS.—The Princess Mickeladse, of Kutais, has been sentenced to twenty years' hard labour in the mines of Siberia, for having set on four men (of whom one was her lever) to murder her husband, which murder they accomplished. Her son, Prince Assion Mickeladse, an accumplice in the crime, is degraded from his rank, and sentenced to serve in the army as a private soldier. 1 LATEST INTELLIGENCE. • AUSTRIA AND FRANCE The lndependance Beige of yesterday gives the following rumour:—lt is said that an interview will take place at no remote period between the Emperors of France and. Austria. It is 'known that the former of these sovereigns is going to Plombiere, and it. is asserted that on leaving he will visit the Castle of Arenberg, in Switzerland, where he was brought up, and from thence will procded to a frontier town, where he will meet with the Emperor Francis Joseph. The Beige also remarks that there is no doubt as to the constantly increasing intimacy between the governments of France and Austria—an intimacy for the attainment of which the Cabinet of the Tuileries seems to have made more concessions than that of Vienna, first of all, on the Italian question, and next on that of the Principalities. Doubtless, in so acting, the French government is following up some object not yet very clearly indicated. THE AUSTRALIAN MAIL CONTRACTS It is stated that the Australian mail contract has been awarded by the government to Messrs. Patrick Henderson & Company, of Glasgow The average speed of the vessels is to be 101 miles per hour. We further learn that the service is to commence on the Ist of October next, and that the Cape of Good Hope route will be taken for the first voyage or two, until the return vessels are able to take up their station at Suez. Messrs. Henderson & Co., it is said, undertake the service for £185,000 per annum. THE COURT The Queen held a Privy Council and Court at Bucking ham Palace on Tuesday afternoon. The Privy Council was attended by Prince Albert, Viscount Palmerston, Sir George Grey, the Earl of Clarendon, Lord Panmure, Sir Charles Wood, the Right Hon. R. Vernon Smith, the Right Hon. M. T. Baines, Earl Spencer, Marquis of Breadalbane, and the Duke of Wellington. Her Majesty having been pleased to appoint the Right Hon. Viscount Sydney to be Lord Lieutenant of the County of Kent, his lordship took the customary oaths before the Queen in Council. The Queen having been pleased to appoint the Right Hon. Earl of Shaftesbury, to be Lord Lieute nant of Dorsetshire, the noble earl likewise took the usual oaths. At the Court the Hon. John Duncan B:igh had an audience of the Queen upon retiring from his post as British Minister to the King of Hanover. Mr. Arthur C. Magenis, the Queen's Envoy Extraordinary and Minister Plenipotentiary to the King of Sweden and Norway, was presented to her Majesty by the Earl of Clarendon, on returning from Stockholm. Mr. Crampton, late Envoy Extraordinary and Minister Plenipotentiary to the United States of America, was presented to her Majesty at an audience by the Earl of Clarendon. Viscount Palmerston, Sir G. Grey, and the Earl of Clarendon had audiences of the Queen, The Prince Consort rode on horseback with the Prince of Wales on Tuesday morning, attended by Captain the Hon. D. Ross. Prince Frederick William of Prussia, attended by Lieutenant-General Baron Schreckenstein, left Bucking ham Palace shortly before four o'clock on Tuesday after noon for Claremont, to pay a visit to the Countess de Neuilly. His Royal Highness returned to the Palace about seven o'clock. Prince Albert and Prince Frederick William of Prussia honoured the Adelphi Theatre with their pre- sence in the evening MILITARY PROMOTIONS.—It is reported that Major General Sir James Jackson, K.O 8., is to have the vacant coloneley of the Inniskilling Dragoons. Sir James is one of our best cavalry officers ; he served in the Peninsula, at Waterloo, in India, and various parts of the world with great distinction. He now commands the troops at the Cape. It is likely that Sir Henry Somerset will have one of the Infantry colonelcies now vacant. SIR EDMUND LYONS'S PEERAGE.—The Gazette of Tuesday evening announces that the Queen has been pleased to direct letters patent to be passed under the Great Seal, granting the dignity of a Baron of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland unto Rear- Admiral Sir Edmund Lyons, Bart., G.C.8., by the name, style, and title of Baron Lyons of Christchurch, in the county of Southampton, and to the heirs male of his body lawfully begotten. LOSS OF THE SHIP UNICORN, OF LIVERPOOL.- Accounts were received here, yesterday, of the loss of the ship Unicorn, 369 tons, Captain Pollard, one of Messrs. Pil kington Brothers' Liverpool and Boston ships. The Uni corn sailed hence on the sth of May, loaded with a cargo of 485 tons of salt, 24 tons of bricks, and 75 tons of pig iron. About three weeks after sailing, she encoun tered severe storms, and began to leak very much. All hopes for the safety of those on board had been given up, when, on the 7th of June, the Jane E.

THE " COUNT-OUT." — The following account is given of the "count-out" in the House of Commons on Tuesday night: At ten minutes past six o'clock there were thirty-eight members present, in addition to the Speaker—so that one more member would have cimpleted the number sufficient to make a house. In the lobby were twenty or thirty , members looking through the glass door, not only them selves declining to come in, but absolutely preventing others, by main force, from entering the house. One member pushed vigorously through the crowd outside, and had actually got the door open, whet he was seized and pulled back by his coat tails. This operation was witnecsed by the members who were in the house as well as by the Speaker—all of whom were convuhed with laughter. - Fi ve or six other members, finding that a " count" was to be atempted, went behind the chair, where it is not parliamen tary etiquette for the Speaker to see them, and thus escaped being " counted." SARDINIA, We learn from Turin under date of the 25th instant, that the Italian Correspondenz announces that the Austrian General, Cerneville, would be prepared to leave Parma on the 22nd.

FRANCE. (FROM OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT.) PARIS, TUESDAY EVENING The great affair of the day is the demand for pensions of £B,OOO to the surviving daughter of Louis Phillipe and the children of his two dalighters deceased. The bill on the subject was presented yesterday to the Legislative body. The daughter of the ex-King now living is married to a cousin of Prince Albert, a Duke of Saxe Coburg Gotha ; of the other two daughters, one was the Queen of the Belgians, the other the wife a Prince of Wurtemberg. The Orleanists profess to be scan dalised at the idea of such a grant being made by such a man as the Emperor ; and they vow that the sons of Louis Philippe will protest earnestly against it—indeed that they have already done so in writing. But according to their enemies, this is all nonsense—they have given their consent to their sister ; and the children of the other two, to receive the money, and only protest to keep up some appearance of dignity. However this may be, it is certain that their cause is henceforth irreparably damaged in the eyes not only of the public, but of the Orleanist party. Any of the members of the Orleans family accepting money from the Emperor, or through him, is con sidered a positive degradation, inasmuch as he was the bitter enemy of their father, and has con fiscated a great part of his property. If I am correctly informed, it was the King of Wurtemberg who, in his recent visit to Paris, arranged the matter with the Emperor. The usual monthly returns of the Custom-house have been published to-day. They show that in May last the receipts of the Customs only amounted to fifteen millions of francs, whereas, in the same month last year, they were sixteen millions and a.half. For the first five mouths of the year they were not less than 2,815,000 francs below what they were for the corresponding period of. last year. It is not a little singular that .the Customs should have been more productive in time of war than in peace. The Government, alarmed at the opposition its bill with doing away with prohibitions has encoun tei•ed, has presented a modification of it, to the effect, that cotton and woollen textures shall pay duty equal to 30 per cent. ad valorem, and ready made clothes, duties equal to 40 per cent. ad valorem. Owing to the postponment of the departure of Count de Morny for St. Petersburg as Ambassa dor Extraordinary, it has, I hear been determined to send M. Bandin, lately Secretary of the French Embassy at London, to that city as Charge d'Affairs. It seems to be quite settled that Prince Dolgorouki shall not be nominated Russian Ambassador in this country. The government is rather vexed at this, as it would have been glad to have him, owing to his lofty position as one of the first nobles of the empire, and as an ex-minister. Accounts from Constantinople, to the 16th, say that Marshal Pelissier was prepared to leave in the Bretagne, and that he had notified that, from the sth July the Allies would cease to exercise any authority in the Crimea. AUSTRALIAN REMIT TANCRB. Out Of consignments of £255,000 in gold lately received by the London branch of the Bank of New South Wales, a very large amount is said to have been remitted to provide for draughts in favour of labouring people in the United Kingdom, sums ranging from £5 to £5O, purchased by their successful relatives in Australi •. A NEW LIGHTHOUSE.—For two years past the Needles Rock, the furthest distant trom the land, has been cut down so as to form a foundation for a lighthouse on it. This lighthouse is at length about to be erected. The present one is on the main land, close to the needl e s, an d is so often enveloped in fog that it is almost useless. The new lighthouse will be rarely invisible, and will be a far better guide to the narrow entrance of the Solent than the existing one.
