IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT'.

HOUSE OF LORDS.—TirtnSDAT, AntF. 2.
ROYAL ASSENT.
The mid meat was give. by commissice to several
bills.
The Loan C HANCOLLOS took his seat at 5 o'clock.
INVESTMENT OF THE CHANCERY FUNDS.
The LORD CHANCELLOR said he had thought it de-
sirable to billow the precedents, and order the investment
in the lowest description of stock. He ascertained the
opinion of those best acquainted with the subject, and
found that the new Two-and-a-Half per Cents. would be
equal to lOW., or nearly so. The funds, however, bad
fallen considerably of late, and within a quarter of an hour
be had had en in dew on the subject, and learned that
the rate of interest had been raised considerably at the
Bank. He, therefore, found that the execution of hi. order
in the pre.ent state of the funds would be injurious to the
suitor. There might, nevertheless, be suitors who would
prefer the Two-and-a-Half per Cent. stock, and might
abstain from applying in consequence of his order. Having
authentic information that the current market interest of
the 1101.—the Two-and.a-Half per Cent. stock—would be
between 3 and 4 per cent. below the 1001, he had thought
there was sufficient warrant for him to revoke the order
which he had made, and, consequently, no assent would be
signified.
Lard ST. LEONARD'S espresseil his approval of the

POOR REMOVAL BILL.
This bill was read a second time.
COMMON LODGING-HOUSE BILL.
This bill was read a third time and passed.
ALTERATION OF OATHS BILL.
On the question that the house go into committee on this
bill, •
The Earl of ELLEN BOROUGH said that if a bill of
this sort had been sent up from the Commons, he should
consider it with favour, because be should he glad to be re-
lieved from the mummery which took place at the table on
the occasion of every new parliament. He saw, in the
confused ant inarticolet• mumbling with which the
oaths were delivered, no security to the House
of Hanover, neither did he see any such security
ie the bill before their lordships, but he saw that some ad-
vantage might be derived from the bill tif the House of
Israel when it was sent to the House of Cantaloup.
(Laughter.) The Jewish gentlemen had knocked
often enough at their door already, and unless
they owed them money they need not come again. (A
1 sugh.) But at the same time be did not suppose that the
bill, Haltered in the other house so as to admit the Jews to
parliament, and sent up to their lordships house, would
pan. There would be no desertion of their duty, although
the majority might be less than when the bill was defeated.
It bad been said that it would not be right that that house
should continually oppose itself to the opinion of the Home
of Commons expressed in successive years. If that opinion
were expressed on any political question, he thought it
would be desirable to reconsider the question ; but he had
never looked span this as a pulitical measure, and he
thought they could not admit the Jews into parliament
without disparaging Christianity. (Hear, bear.) It was
that feeling which had induced him to oppose their admis-
sion and would ever induce him to do so. He should there-
fore move that the bill be committed that day three months.
The Earl of WICKLOW had never heard a speech more
in favour of the bill which the noble earl deprecated—(hear,
hear)—and there could be no doubt that if the bill under-
went any changes in the other house with a view to admit
the Jews, it would be rejected when it came to their
lordships' house. (Hear, hear.) He could not believe,
therefore, that their lordships after passing the bill on its
second reading would now object to ita going into com-
mittee. (Hear, hear.)
The Earl of DERBY said that it was not so mach
with respect to the probability of admission which
it gave to the Jewish body as to the abolition
of all restraints on Roman catholic consciences, con-
tained la its that he felt based to oppose the bill.
Naming hew the Home of Comoss was engaged at this
period of the sonise, and forsook* the alterations which
would be there made in the bill wiPi the assistance of the
government, be eldocted toevesins *sir lordships to the
chanty of WIWI sellkds• t Howes of Commons
during the pretest melee et perlisoost. But if his noble
and lamed friend weld iatrodees his billet the beginning
of the sesairo. Pro be bed no hesitation in saying that he
should gin • dillersit vote, and would willingly and
411 r •oposes with his noble friend in placing the bill
a footing as would oaks it effectual for the strict
perms inteaded, while at the same time it preserved rea-
algal& security for the interests of the church. Let the bill
thest be introduced at the commencement of the session
either by itself, or as a portion of that measure of reform—
radical or esseerretire as it might be—which was to be pro-
posed by the radical or conservative section of the govern.
seat, bet let it be introduced in time so as that there should
not be the possibility of • result nit intended by its pro-
pene.
Th. Earl of ABERDEEN said he thought their lord-
ships mast admit that this was the first time they had ever
boa ailed epos le peeled to legislate on snob grounds as
tine prepeended by the net& earl. (Hear, bear.) They

were they to place their civilisation only en a par with the
barbarians in the north of Asia, as represented by the Mo-
gul conquerors? Ile believed they could not atTird to be
measured even by that low standard ; and he believed that
in many respect+ their conduct in India was worse than
that of the Mogul conquerors. The lead tag wu higher,
he believed—certainly it was more rigorously exacted, and
with more violation of the feelings of the people of India,
than under the Moguls. (Hear, hear) The salt tax was
four tibia what it was under the Moguls. He believed it
would lie enough to read the prayer of the petition in order
to postpone permanent legislation, unless the government
measures, were very different:from what be feared they would
turn out to be ; tor, although he admitted the great ability
of the present government, ho could not conceive how,
during the short time they had been in office, they could be
able to give sufficient coesideration to this most important
subject.
The petition was ordered to be referred to the India com-
mittee.
The house adjourned at a quarter to eight.
