be thet declaration would this bill be dupweel
with. Further, the House of Lords would ones

of their hose--• Jewish put with right el eneoestion ;
therefore this bill would make a germ change in the law
as it affected the House of Londe than as it regarded the
Huse of Controona. It wee to prevent this great change
that so many petitions bad been prenatal to that hone.
He begged to move that the bill be read a sound time that
day BIZ menthe. (Hear, bear.)
Kr. WHALLEY rase to speak, but wee met with load
cries of "Divide." He said hue not his intention to take
any part in the discussion in so far as it involved the oath of
1829, because he considered that that was a question
beyond the jurisdiction of the house, and which they could
not take cognizance of. It wee now a pert, as the Act of
Settlement was, of the fundamental constitution of the
country. (Cries of "Divide" and "Oh, ob.") The pruent '
moment was peculiarly inauspicious for such concessions as
they were now called upon to make. He believed it could
be shown that Feninum wee the offspring of Eomsa
catholicism. (Question.) He submitted that that was the
question. (Cries of " Sing.")
The SPEAKER—I hear some env:mins that are not
pulianantary
Mr. WRA FIEF rammed—He thanked the Speaker for
calling attention to that. He would remind the home that
the first occasion on which that unparliamentary expres-
sion wee need it was raised in a manner which rendered
it impossible for him to make himself heard. The first
occasion on which that invocation—(laughter)—was made
was in 1862. He had then denoncoed the spirit of Fenianiint
which wee taking root, se shown by the proceedings in
Dublin, emanating from indents from Maynooth, on the
occasion of the marriage of the Prince of Wales. That
spirit we. faltered by Archbishop Hughes, and had since
been developing Jima, and wan still fostered an an essential
part of their duty by the R 0131612 catholic priesthood of
Ireland. (Interruption.) It was manifested in 1798 and in
1642, according to the regular prescribed programme of
rebellion and conspiracy. He thought they ought to bari-
tes,' before they unsettled the foundation of the act of
1829. If the bill paned a second reading he should move
that it be referred to a select committee.

Mr. T. CHAMBERS, who spoke amid loud cries of
" divide." said he agreed with everything that bad fallen
from the right boo. gentleman opposite with reference to this
subject. He also concurred in many of the &nervations of
the ken. member for North Warwickshire ; and if this
were a bill merely for altering the Roman oatbolic oath. he
would go into the same lobby with that boo. member. But
that was sot the question. The question was, whether
it was desirable to have one uniform oath to be taken by all
the members of the howls. He thought it was desirable if
a satisfactory form of oath could be framed that they should
all Dome under one obligation to the throne and the maled-
iction, and he should therefore give his vote in favour of
the seoood reeding of this bill.

The house then divided—
For the second reading
Against it -293
(Laughter.)
Mr. WHALLEY hal given urges of a motion to refer
the bill to a select committee, but after what had just
taken plane, he need not trouble the hones to divide nein.
Tne bill was then read a second time, and ordered to be
committed on Thursday next.

when a mart shower fell for a few minutes. The racing, which
does not call for any lengthened remarks, came off as under. Ii
will be observed that the Salamander stable amain rowed in for a
nice little stake, which was " landed" by Lard George, who
overthrew the favourite, "The Rogue," very sadly. The Spring
Cup fell to Jezebel, who won evidently with a lot in hand ; but
the performance of taithnces was very unaoconntable after the

COURT OF BANKRUPTOY.—MAzou 8.
(Wore Mr. Oommisioser Haisoyd.)
Ell ZS MULLES WINDOM

In this cue, after our report left yesterday,
His Honour said that the opposition rested on two
grounds—unjustifiable extravagance is living, and con-
tracting debts without ?smash e or probable ezpootetion
of being able to pay them. In considering the latter
point it was necessary to bear in mind wbst was
meant by reasonable or probable expectation. It
did not mean that a man who had expectations of
property coming to him at any distant period would
be just-Wed in incurring debts upon that expectance.
It must mean that he had an expectation of being able to
pay them within the time in which such debts would ordi-
narily be discharged—or, at all events, not moth exceeding
the ordinary paned. He had no right to ask the creditors
to wait for the realisation of his property at a distant
period. Such an answer would be still more objectionable
on the part of a man who hid absolutely denuded himself
of control over the whole of his property, by making an
assignment for the benefit of creditors, and went on con-
trasting fresh debts before be knew what his
would realise. Haying only 5001. a year wigertze
...id reckon upon, the bankrupt bad spent 2,0001. •
year- and the court could not hold that sash an
expenditure was justifiable. Having regard to the thee
which the eau had been before the court, and the other
circumstances' which had been urged in the bankrupt's
favour, the court could coat to no other conclusion than
that the bankrupt had brought himself within the 159th
section of the act, and the order must be suspended for six
months from the present time, with protection.
(Before Hr. Commissioner Gonlbare).

The bankrupt was a air7to;;;l:3t. Swithin'alane. This
woe the sitting for examination and diechergy but the ae-
°manta had not been filed. The lialnlitiee are mid to to
27,0001.
lir. Berwick tendered a proof for 8001. on behalf of Sir
Charles Fox, but it. ooneklaration was adjourned till the
next sitting.
