Lords in rejecting the Jewish Bill had acted from con-
sci-ntious convictions.—(Great noise and confusion.) It
wai his firm determination to fight this battle to the last.
—(G teat c ,nfusioa.) In order to protect, if possible,
the Cbr:stianiey of this country, and its great institu-
tions, :and thereby to maintain the imperial glory of
imperial England.—(Great confusion and tremendous
uproar, amid which the Noble Lord retired.)
Mr:Sheriff FINNIS then came forward, and inquired
whether any gentleman had any other candidate to pro-
pose, and no one corning forward, the Sheriff proceeded
to take a show of hands for each of the candidates.
For Baron Rothschild a complete forest of hands were
held up, amid the most tumultuous shouts of applause ;
and the appcarsnce of the old Hall, at the moment, was
picturesque in the extreme. For Lord John 'Manners
but very few hands were held up, and those few were
met with hisses and the greatest uproar.
Mr. Sher.ff FINNIs then came forward, and, amidst
the most tremendous and enthusiastic cheering, declared
that in the opinion of the Sheriffs the show of hands
was in favour of Baron Rothschild.
A poll was then demanded on behalf of Lord John
Manners.
Mr. ATKINSON then came forward and said, as a
fellow citizen he considered that it would not be fair,
either to their fellow countrymen beyond those walls, if •
their opinion was not to go forth as to the great matter
that was now at issue.—(Cheers.) And, in seying so, he
wished to address himselt as well to the friends of his
way of thinking as well as to those of the other. The
question at issue was not one of party, but one in which
•the vital interests of the whole community were con-
cerned.—(Cheers.) It was a question between the
House of Lords and the Commons of England, in which
they were all deeply interested. The House of Lords
had chosen to narrow the question to one of difference
of religious opinion, and had stood between the Queen
and her people—(Shame)—for her Majesty, at the com-
mencement of the present session, stated in her speech
to the country that the question of the removal of
Jewish disabilities would come early before the atten-
tion of the House of Commons ; and it was well
known that the early associations of her Majesty
led her to look favourably upon such a propo-
sition. The Reverend Bench of Bishops had
also stood between the Queen and her people—
(Cries of " Oh, oh !")—and he asked them, his fellow
countrymen, the citizens of this great metropolis, if they
were to be. baited and thrown back by the bench of
Bishops—(Cries No, ho")—who received 207,0001.
a year, whilst their curates were starving in the Church
—(A voice—" Two pounds a week is enough for them.")
Would they allow them to stand in the breach against
the granting of the inalienable rights of the
people ? (A voice " Turn cut the Bishops.")
London had already fought the good fight;and thrown
back upon a haughty Court the defiance of a people,
and London would hurl it back again.—(Loud cheers.)
Ile had no doubt that they would tell the House of
Lords from this place that the middle and working
classes had united for the purpose of vindicating their
right to elect the men of their choice, but also to urge
on those reforms rhich would open the portals of the
Constitution to every man.—(Hear, hear, and
.eheers.)
The Crier (Mr.Harker) then proclaimer that the poll
would commence at eight to-morrow, arid would be finally
closed at four. _ _

On the motion of Baron ROTHSCHILD, seconded by
Lord JOHN MANNErts, a vote of thanks was awarded
to the Sheriffs, and Mr. Sheriff Finnis returned thanks.
Mr. D. N. WIRE then came forward and said he
wished to remind the electors that the poll commenced
at eight and closed at four, and that one
vote before nine in the morning wuild be
worth two alter two o'clock. Let there
therefore be " a strong pull, a long pull, and a pull alto-
gether"—(Cheer,)—and return Baron Rothschild to-
morrow by a large majority.—(Loud cheers.) Let
them not be token in. Lots of bills and advertisements
would be issued for the purpose of misleading them, but
let them take care that the only name they knew, and
the only object they :had in view, wi..s " Baron Roths-
child and Civil and Religious Liberty."—(Cheers.)
Three cheers having been given for the Queen, the
vast assemblage separated.
