duoed to be a safeguard of the established church, which
w briers to be a safeguard, and the removal of which would
mitre the protester mind of the country and encourage
ROMall caholics and all others to make the assault upon
that churn rebid' we rem prepared to shandes. If upon
these (*editions alone I could order the Men I should
desire to 'onto' upon the Roman &rake I have no alter-
serve, I most stand by the churn which I have supported
from the earlier period I raid think, and which I am not
likely to abandon for any fanciful advantage at the time
when I am approaching the confines of old age. (Loud
cheers.)
Earl RUSSELL was of opinion that the existing oaths
offered no security to the established church which could
not be given in alas objectionable form. At the preset
immesh the logielature gersl:o protestant* a power of which
cetholice wen deprived— y, the, power of arise=
the endowment of the church setablishect, and of
Touring to deprive the okureis of bar revenues.
Roman catholic members were enjoined to take=
the absurdity of the position in which parliament was
placed was that a Romeo catholic oonstiturin might
sleet protestanes who would not be under the same
obligation, sod who would have no hesitation in cut-
ting off the revenues of the church at the first favour-
able opportunity. All members of puliament ought
in
his errors, to be *cod on • faring of equality, sod, ter
catering parliament, should have the power of

oath as coatrary to the intentions with which • Act of
Emancipation was pared, and certainly se enteary to the
spirit of the age.
The Earl of kIARROWBY objected to doing away with
the oath at the preeent moment. leonine it would he &ca-
rted to give considerable impulse to the agitation in favour
al destroying_ the Irish numb.
Earl GREY supported the bill, on the ground that the
security of the oath rue imaginary, and that if parliament
ever desired to abolish the Irish church ft would at nee
get rid of the orb. He believed that the Irish church
must undergo revision ere long, and that it would be desir-
able to make concessions to the Roman ostisolios in any
ease in which a real grievance was established.

ELECTION INTA7LLIGENCE.

CITY OF LONDON*.
Last evening Messrs. Crawford and °When,
two of the sitting members foe the City, with Mr. Alder-
s:ea Lawrence, the foal* candidate is the literal interest,
mat the electors of Bishonserete ward, is the large yard of
=tin'. Horse Repo/fiery. Bisbapegate-etreet. Mr. N.
ld was also is Mesdames as the represeutative of
his father, Baron RothechikL About 1,000 electors at-
tended. Mr. Queue threes-, ILP., occupied the chair,
and was supported by Mr. IL Hodgson, M.P. ; Mr. J. A.
Smith.hf.P. sod Mean. Richardson, Staplton, Dods-
well, Morris, Thome, and Richards, common 001116d1112416 of
the ward.
The CHAIRMAN having Welly °peed the proceedings,
Mr. R. W. (Mammal) um forward amidst loud cheers.
He said he stood Were the electors coos more to ask them
for a renewal of that coolidemoe they bad hitherto given
him, and be did so in the full belief that they would
respond to his aypeal, inasmuch as be had always en-
deavoured faithfully to perform the promises he lad made
them. Since he had bees in parliament he had invariably
been found at his poet, giving • coadistest support, by speech
when searesary, always by his vote, to every measure having
for its object the promotion if civil sad religions liberty.
(Cheers.) HimseN sod his colleagues were now threatened
with oppadtion on the parte/ the tory party ; but he bad suf.
Solent faith in his fellow-Aims to believe thee they would
not desert their lonroherished principles, but that
they would' at the coming election, as heretofore return
four good liberals at the heed of the poll. Ose of the geo-
thimeo brought forward by the tories, Kr. Lyra, had been
in parliament for many years. They therefore knew what
he was. His votes were always smut progress—(cheers)
—and there was no reason to suppers they would OWN be
given in the oppcsite direction. (Cheer,. The other gee-
Oman, Mr. Forster, was an out-end-out tory of the old
school, and they all knew what that meant. (Cheers
and laughter.) If again returned he should continuo to
give an independent support to the present government,
and vote for say measure conferring the franchise on that
large and intelligent portion of the people now so unjustly
excluded from it.
Mr. N. ROTHSCHILD said heb=und before the electors
to claim their indulgence en of his father, who was
not yet sufficiently recovered to bear the excitement of an
election meeting. (Cheers.) His father's health, however,
was rapidly improving, and he was desirous of epee more
representing his fellow citizens in parliameut, but he was
rely anxious there should be so division in the
ranks. Auy dissension amonget the liberals
would give strength to the Write, who would then
be likely to triumph, not upon their own merits but
by the dissensions of their op to. (Cheers.) The
Mum of Baron Rothschild h a great victory for
civil and religions liberty; be felt it to be so, and while he bad
a met in parliament. hie vote would always be given in sup-
port of that principle. (Loud chem.)
Mr. GORCHIN, who was received with much cheering,
mid he had to the best of his ability performed the onerous
duties they had imposed upon him when, two years since,
they sent loim as their representative to parliament. They
expected him to speak plainly, and he bad done so.
((heers.) He did not believe his fellow-citizens
would be deceived by the addresses which had
been pat forth by their tory oppooents, for attempt
to disguise their opinions as they might under the garb of
liberalism, they were tories of the deepest dye. They were
men who, if returned, would do their bag to get Lord
Derby and Mr. Disraeli back into power, to undo the
liberal legislation of the hat few years and to retard the
growing prosperity of the country. (Cheers.) Beery elec-
tor desirous of promoting the happiness of the people, the
extension of the franchise, and these other measures
identified with the liberal petty, must unite as one man,
and give an undivided support to the four liberal candidates.
'rho, be could promise them, would make a good working
team. (Cheers.)
Mr. Aldermen Lawmen, who was loudly cheered,
avowed himself an out-and-out reformer, prepared to sup-
port all measures that would promote the principles of
civil and religions liberty. He was is favour of en exten-
sion of the franchise, having full 000fidence in the people.
He claimed the support of the electors as an advocate of
load self•goveromene He thought the passing of the
Union Chargeability Bill would confer • great boon ma
the labouring population, and the pertinacity with which
the tory party had opposed that bill was only a fair sped-
mu of whet the people might expect if that party were
isedaverih (fimeart„.hgear.t)

RICHARDSON, C.C., seconded a resolution pledging the sup-

the representation of the royal borough was commenced at
an early hoer by the two anima sitting corieerativemembers,
Mr. W. Vaneittart and Colonel R. H. Vyss. Accoompanad
by their solicitors, Messrs. Long and Vales, they began an
active canvass of the votes of the electors in the High.
street, and as at the moment the liberal candidates
were not in the town, they had the field entirely
to themselves for a short time. Mr. Labonchare
arrived at Windsor in the afternoon, and in company
with Norm Darrell and Last, the solicitors, Mr. J.
Cleave, and other geutlemeu of liberal views, made a
ver of a portion of the constituency, sad met with much
success and many promisee of support. Both parties con-
tinued the canvass till the evening, each feeling that the
contest, owing to the somber of voters that have bees added
to the electoral roll of the borough must necessarily be
severe. Sir EL Hoare, the other liberal candidate, who
bad met with a slight accident which detained him in town
for several hours, was expected to arrive momentarily. The
addressee of the liberal and coseervative candidates were
issued early in the day.
MANCHEETZE.—A meeting of the liberal com-
mittee was held yesterday. It was stated that Mr. Jacob

SOUTH LANOAHHEILL—There was a meeting of
the liberal committee for South Lancashire at Manchester,
yesterday, when it wee agreed to put forward for this
division the Chancellor of the Exchequer and Mr. Thomp-
son. a son of Mr. SamL Thompson, booker, of Liverpool.
A third candidate had been named in the person of Sir J.
Kay-Slauttleworth, but it appears that he is unwilling to
offer himself.
YORIL—In another week the straggle will be
entered upon at York which is to decide the question as to
who are to be the future representatives of that city, ea the
°anew will commence next week. The liberals ore very
sanguine as to the return of their two candidates. Mr.
Westhead is • well-tried and of loieet representative, and
ham woe the esteem of all classes. Mr. Alderman Leeman,
his Proposed colleague, has not merely for many years put
rendered
great service to the liberal party both in his native
city and elsewhere. but Ms perhaps done more for the in-
terests of that city than any other man. Nothing is
known of the oomervative candidate, Mr. Lowther, beyond
the fact that, according to his printed address he is • warm
supporter of a retrograde or stand-still, instead of • pro-
(rages policy.—Lade Mercury.
HiRWICH.—It having been resolved to fight the
battle bee with two liberal modidates, • meeting, confined
to electors only, was held oe Friday eversion, when Mr.
Michael Wills, of Foley-house, Portland-plain, the primary
candidate, encempanied by Mr. Fitsjaines Stephen, of the
Midland Circuit, addressed the meeting, which proved one
of much importance. Mr. 13egahaw took the chair, and
spoke war of the services Mr. Wills had rendered MM.
borough, and of the merits of Mr. Stephen. Mr. Wills wen
received with much enthusiasm, and made • thoroughly
liberal speech, expressing great oosfideoca in the mauls of
