ACT surammisr BILL.
This bOl was relined to a whet aria--.
INDBMINDINCI OP PARLIAIIINT BILL.
Lord BBOTJOHAM lead that the °bine el this bill was to
apply the sot of 52 Gawp 111., Teepeetiag beakrapt mat-
ben, to all numbers whether traders or sce-Inidere. IS wee
the duty of that hones to apply itself to le~ve meaennis
which atoned the other house more then themselves. This
had hem dons In one remarkable instance ; the two most lei-
=prinhkine et the Bribery at Bleetkne Act had keen
sat la that hone, not la the House of CMONISII. An
ootelice wee nude that the bill solely related to the
hews, sad that their IdaWILI• ought not
to interfere; bat the answer was that rarity of
election wee es dear to their lordships as to the WNW 111:10“.
(Hear, bear.) The measure he now proposed was rendered
more nearer, in roeseennos of a bill baring her nod a
second time in the other Muse, supported by a Inge ma-
jority, which abrogated all privilege of parliament ea le-
garded arrest from debt. The effect of that would be Halsey
member of either how, against whoa a judgment hd Men
obtained (a moat My matter now-a•days), t be sawed
on his way to the house. He coandffed that the preetelese
of his bill would be preferable to the one referred to; but
would not prase the aeond reading at this advanced paned
of the necks.

JEWS BILL
On the motion for going into committee on this bill,
Tics Earl of CLANCARTY said it appeared that Lord
Derby attached great importance to effecting • reconciliation
with the tram house. He (Lord Clancarty) did not think
that any light matter ought to stand in the way of such an
as rangemeat ; but they should not Wee sight of the fact that
there were three estates of the realm, and they
ought not to pramme on the acqtrielownos of the
Sovereign in • measure of this kind. The noble
earl referred to some oases in which George 111. had with-
held his assent from measures peeled by both houses. The
&roan Catholic Emancipation Bill bad only been introduced
by the government on a recommendation contained is the
speech from the throne. Where a boon was to be conferred'
on • class of her subjects, it was respectfully due to the sour
reign that she ought to have had en opportunity of recom-
mending the measure in a message to parliament, if she
really encored of it. The Queen, by her position, was head
of the church and defender of the frith; and he could net
suppose that she would wish to associate In her councils
Jews and unbellevera. He wished to know, if her Majesty's
approval had not been given, what °ours* ;he would be ad-
vised to adopt ? If this bill passed, what would be the posi-
tion of the Roman catholic body, boned as they still were by
en oath not to use any influence they posseeeed to troikas
the Protestant religion as by law es . This amid
not be • final settlement of the question, UM led to en agita-
tion by Roman catholics—which had slated, begun—against
the oath they were now obliged to take. Wee the ic ibis earl
to stand by the act of 1829, end resist any alteration
preparedt oath ?

The Doke of MARLBOROUGH maid that under this
bill there was nothing to prevent a Jew from occupying the
position of prime minister but a Roman catholic could not
do m. At any rate, word; ought to be introduced similar to
those in the Roman catholic oath, binding Jews not to um
their influence against the church as by law established. Hs
deprecated the immure being paved in such hale.
REDESDALE said it was eaccaatitaliesal and
extremely objeotionable to allow the homes to sot by realm
none se thia bill proposed.
After a few words from Viscount MELVILLV,
Lord BROUGHAM said it wee quite common for resolu-
tions, not of a howls of parliament, but of a court ofjaeties,
to have the force of law. Bearcely sb alteration was mode
in the legal procedure but power wen given to the judges
to issue orders for carrying it out; and these orders virtually
became a portion of the statute. He (the noble lord) did not
think the present was the best oonres that might have bees
adopted, but still it was a course to which he saw no solid
objection. He found that be had somewhat misatated the
object of a bill on another subject, which might be expected
from the other house. At present it applied only to mem-
bers of the House of Common., but he had no doubt that the
first thing their lordshtpa would do, when it came before
them, would be to maks It include themselves.
The Reel of DERBY had no reason to suppose that, if
both Honer Peritoneal pealed the bill bar Mejesty
would Weems, her merrgative to prevent lb bsoomlng law.
He admitted that ea amendments would be required in
the NB aa It steed.

Lad CAMPBELL rejoiced at the prospect there wee of
lb.
Lad LYErffir.IRST said that so far u he under-
stood the emsedneeste promised by his noble Maid, the
bill would he la atheism* precisely the same se
that which he had himself introduced. With re-
gard to the present bill, certain alterations to it would
be absolutely necessa y. He could not conceive that the
noble and gallant earl wee the author of the measure.
It mast have proceeded from some other source. His noble
and gallant friend would have gone right to the mark, instead
of adopting the oirouitous and involved language of this bill.
He presumed his noble friend had consulted some professional
Weiser; some gentleman who had been in the habit of being !
paid bf the number of word, he employed. (A laugh.) This
levad gentleman had absolutely drawn the bill without
taking the trouble of looking at the oath of abjuration. The
class prepared to omit the words "and I utak' this declara•
tion ea the true faith of a Christian," words which did not
exist in the oath of abjuration, but which this learned per-
son had copied from the bill that had corns up to them from
the Howe of Commons. (Neer.) Re (Lord Lyndhurst)
had drawn his pen through all the words in the clause that
were superfluous • end the result wee as follows —" Either
house of parlisaiii may resolve that any person who pro-
bates the Jewish religion, in taking such oath may omit the
words upon the true faith of a Christian' and that the
Inking and eubecrib(ig such oath shall Dave the same effect
es the taking and subscribing the oath of abjuration in the
forst now required by law." Hear, hear.) In reducing the
clause to this form, he bad struck out four lines of rubbish
et
the beginniag ; then two Dees more ; then four lines
more; then two lines more; and then two lines more—all of
which answered no end whatever, except to extend the
clause. (Hear, hear.)
After a few words from the Esrl of LoCAN, who was un-
derstood to arse to the bill now going through committee
pro focus in order that the amendments proposed by the
noble and learned lord might be printed,
The bill passed through committee, sad wee ordered to he
recommitted on Thursday.
Ice ette.ge so a question from a NOBLZ LORD.
Lord LYNDHURST said he had postponed his own bill
