LONDON, THURSDAY, JUNE 28.

THE 1100FC of Lords hating thrown cut the Pcr-
liamentary Oa•hs Bill, atd rdt cted the prayer of the
c"tizens of London and the peopl the Barun Loan
ltoriismlLD appeals to his cmetituccts. He ea•

cepted the ChiGrn Hundreds 3 t stsrday, and vacates
his seat, offering himself for re-eketioo.
As we pred•cted on fuesda3•, th, majoril by which
the bill was thrown out was small. r than last year.
Tne difference, in numbers, however, w is less remwk•
able than the difference in the tone of the discaesion.
Is is obvious that the Lords could not a third time
hazard the experiment of opp :sing themselves on
this subject to the decisi. n of the House et
Commons and to the will of the Latino. They have
argt d their opposition successfully for the last time.
They feel that they cannot again draw upon pre.
cone ived opinions as argoments ega:nst useful
changes; they feel that these are not times when s
mere reference to what has Deco is to determine
what aught to be; when bigotry is t be brought
forward to jns'ifv exclusion. When, :et. the Oaths
Bill is brought forward again, tie Hsu. of Lords
'oust, and they will, adspt it.
Those who read the debate will have discovercd in

it maeifest symptoms, that puhic opi: i-n on this
question hes found its way even into tue Lords. The
constitutional part of the questioe, the only view of
it on which exclusion could be d, flisible, was given
up as hopel, se. The most ert'ent (vie eitionit to were
embarrarsed at an attempt to Puffy the exclusion of
any member of a free state from pa feipstien in its
privileges on account of his religious epinione. T
evidently shrunk from the action of imposing permi-
t:es on free Britons, without any penal statue to jus-
tifT the impoeition.
The Right Rev. SAMUEL, Lord 13ishrp of OxsORD,
is indeed strongly of opinion ti ut. we ought not to
gratify the ambitious desires of the .1, w—lict It is
quite enough for him that he receives thr p ceection we
afford to every peaceable and level subject of the
realm—that he ought to be very thankful that his
house, his wife, his children, and has prepe ty, are
not all torn from him as they were in the NI said days
of good King JOHN, and REGINALD FRONT-DV
Mee ; and that as for anything else, it is rally
quite unreasonable that the Jew should expect it.
Bow down thy bead, poor Jew, as this lordly, coarey,
righteous-minded prelate pewee by, the dust from off
his chariot whrele, rolling on thy galwrd'ne. Bow
down thy head poor Jew, and lick his tet fo: tl e pro-
tccion he affords thee ; beat thy breast, and pray
him to be merciful to you, a sinner, whilst he thinks
God that he is not as other men are, or even as this
Phalle ee !
Shade of SAMUEL WILBERFORCE! listen to tliis
man—your sou—urging his fellow-beings to rest
satisfied with a degraded position in the land of their
birth—with a political serfdom amongst the nation of
the free ; Yes ; tl c father raised the negro tram
bondage, on account of solo it ; the son would con-
sign the Jew to serfdom, on account of creed.
The leaders of the opposition left the bad task of
defeating this bill to be performe! by the twin-
minded Bishops of EXETER and Oxeotin. Neither
Lord STANLEY nor the Earl of ELLENROROUGH said a
word. Their votes seemed less to be directed against
the measure, than against the governwent which in-
troeueed it. There were, we fanny, other p.ers who
voted against the bill from the same f. eling, aid who
under other different political circumstances would
not be anxious to be number( d amongst the patty
who are aptly styled " the bigots."
But the decision of the question, as we said before,
does not now rest with them. The curse the Baron
Itontsemn has decided upon takng refers the
question back to the people—that great tribunal of
judgment and appeal. The people, through the citi-
zens of London, must now record, more so:emnly and
strongly even than before, that no tests shall prevent
the man of their selection from sitting in the
House of Commons as their e'ectcd representative.
The people of the present day are too
enlightened and too well instructed to believe in the
inane puerility that the great God of the universe
vouchsafes to protect this kingdom becaute Jews are
cnly allowed to be shei iffs,j usticee, aldermen' recorders,
and lord mayors, and would visit us with his divine
displeasure if a Jew were allowed to seat him-
s. If on the green benches of the HOLM of Commons.
The Lords must be instructed by the s'rong expres-
ei n of the public sentiment in an election for the
chief city of the empire, that it is the people's veil'
that " the last leaf shall be torn from the back of re-
ligious disability." The citizens of London have now
their duty to perform, and such a ccnstituency will
not fail to confirm the just expectations of the nation.

IT will be recollected by such of the public
as are interested in the question of Church Re-
form, that the present session had not advanced
more than a Ns eek or two before Lord Jour
RUSSELL, in reply to an inquiry, stated that he
did not intend to introduce any measure on that
subject, though in the course of the two previous
sessions he had thrice distinctly promised to do so;
that ere the la pee of another fortnight his lordship, on
b ing again interrogated, announced that he had a
measure in preparation; that be shortly afterwards
introduced a bill " To amend the acts rtlating to the
Ecclesiastical Commissioners for England," the pro-
visions of which we have more than once analysed
and shown the insufficiency of; that he was alloyn
ed
t-a have the bill read a second time without oppa?itio
on the understanding that ho would place it, without
much delay, first on the Orders of the Pay, ao as
.to
admit of its proper discussion ; that Easter, Whit-
muntide, and June, have passed away with'
out the bill having been so placed; that Lord
JOIIN, having ascertained from the church reformd,
their principal objections to the measure, ha it
passed pro formi through committee with a view to
