LONDON, WEDNESDAY, JULY 4, 1849.

London has again testified its devotion to the sacred
cause of Civil
and Religious Liberty. The trium-
phant return of
the Baron LIONEL NATHAN DE
ROTHSCHILD by the extraordinary majority of 11,203
the
votes beyond those polled
for
htiseopponent must
satisfy House of Peers that the
opinion which
l
they have dared to outrage is neither •
Epificant in
the number of its votaries, or evanescent in its cha-
racter. The fact that, in defiance of
a very recent
decision of the Upper House of Parliament, the
citizens of the metropolis of England have chosen
one of the most distinguished Jews in the United
Kingdom as their representative must be sufficient
of itself to prove to our hereditary legislators that no
effort on their part can baulk the wishes of the com-
munity in this particular. Occurring, moreover, as
the re-election of ROTHSCHILD does, at a period when
the whole European Continent is convulsed with the
deadly strife between classes—a strife originating, in
the first instance, in the disinclination of the nobles
to yield to the rational demands of the population—it
requires no adventitious assurance to impress upon
the minds of the aristocrats the peril as well as futility
of any obstinatepersistwe in their determination. .This'
is surely not the time to provoke a collision between the

two great classes of society, the two classes Cor-
responding with the two Chambers of the Legislature.
This is surely not the most fitting season to evoke
di'cordance between the Lords and the Commons.
When thrones have crumbled to dust ; and whole
aristocracies have been dissipated by the whirlwinds
of revolution ; and democracy has caused its gigantic
strength to be felt from the northern shores of the
Baltic to the southern beach of the Mediterranean,
from the Vistula to the Garonne—when the stub-
bornness of Peers has suddenly changed Monar-
chies into Republics, and substituted for dynasties
dating back beyond the age of the Carlovingians
the leaders of a people consolidated into a Pro-
visional Government, it would clearly be nothing less
than an exhibition of lunacy for the Upper House of
the British Parliament to place themselves in an atti
tude of antagonism with the masses of the population.
And to do this, moreover, in reference to the holiest
principles, the fundamental principles of the Con-
stitution !

For a long while the conviction has forced itself
upon our consideration, that, glorious as the demon-
stration of the 10. h of April, 1848, unques-
tionably was, as indicative of the stern and unani-
mous resolve of the English people to strangle
political fanaticism, and to proclaim to the whole
world their allegiance to the double cause of
Peace and Order—its meaning has been either mis-
understood or distorted to suit the feelings of the
Ultra-Conservative aristocracy. That man must be
either blind or mad who can look back upon that day
as upon an occasion when the people of Great
Britain pledged themselves to become the slaves of
an oligarchy. The 10th of April was the jubilee of
Order, not of Aristocracy. It was expressive of the
popular determination to conserve rather than to
destroy. Yet the conservation for which the
community then pronounced itself with one voice
was strictly a discriminative conservation, the
conservation of what was good accompanied
by the expurgation of what was bad or indifferent in
the Constitution. If the Peers were to delude them-
selves into a contrary opinion, and were to continue
to act accordingly, they would in the end discover to
their cost the error of their judgment, they would
rue the day on which they came to such an erroneous
and destructive decision. But that we look upon the
matter of the Jewish Disabilities as one already re-
moved from the reach of their jurisdiction, we should
commend the bigotted majority of the Lords to
weigh well their proceedings in its regard before they
presume to hazard another step in opposition to the
will of the community. As it is we cannot think
that the Commons of England will any, longer con-
sent to bow before the insolent fanaticism of the here-
ditary branch of the Legislature simply from a servile
obedience to the routine of Parliamentary'etiquette.
The course adopted in, reference to the admission of
Mr. PEASE 40 the Chamber of Representatives may
surely, in an emergency like the present, be adopted
to effect the legal admission of Baron ROTHSCHILD.
The rule established to suit the convenience of the
Quaker may be imitated to satisfy the conscience of
a Jew. If an oath may be altogether dispensed
with to afford room for the entrance of
one of the Society of Friends, an oath
may surely be modified to enable the Hebrew to find
his way to the benches of the Commons. What has
been done with so much ease for the followers of
Fox may be effected without difficulty for the fol-
lowers of MOSES. A hint to the House of Commons
is enough! _ _

Now—a hint to the House of Lords ! A hint to
those Right Honourable and Right Reverend Sena-
tors who appear to be tripping for ward so very
unconsciously and hilariously towards the brink oE a
precipice ! A hint just to save them from the immi-
nent dangers of their position, to open their eyes and
enable them to turn back before they go
blindly dancing over the edge ! Let them
beware lest in the midst of their interference
with the prerogatives of the House of Commons of
England, the latter should retaliate upon them
by refusing to grant the Supplies I How tbolish the
Bench of Bishops would look in such a predicament I
What a sorry Sgure the whole of the Peers would
cut in such an event ! And such an event is always
possible, for (let it not be forgotten) the purse of the
nation is in the bands of the House of Commons!

While the lovers of Civil and Religious Liberty
are exulting in the magnificent majority by which
the Baron LIONEL DE ROTHSCHILD has been elected
the representative of the first city in the world, we
wonder very much what the sensations of the Country
Party are under the circumstances ! They must feel
themselves rather small by the way—so small that
we should estimate them microscopically. At any
rate, this we must say of them—they played
for a high game—and, and, and (a mere
secondary consideration) lost it ! They
were to have followed up their recently daring
tactics, their displays in Drury-lane Theatre and on
the loftier stage of the Parliament, by carrying the
City of London by storm—by blowing the tantarrara
of victory in the heart of the empire—by inducing
the capital to choose as its Member a Protectionist.
They have done all—but succeed ! And if the num -
bers polled by the Jewish candidate in 1849 be less
by 173 than those polled by him in 1847, the votes
obtained for the Protectionists in 1849 are less by
1,600 than those obtained for them in 1847.
Everything, indeed, combines to render the
victory of yesterday's election complete and
decisive. Everything attests that the capital of Eng-
land is now permanently at the head of this as it has
been of so many other great political movements.
Everything proclaims that the Electors of London
have destroyed the last vestige of religious intolerance
and civil tyranny; and that they have at length se-
cured for England in fact, as well as in word, Civil
and Religious Liberty.

Were it not for the ulterior objects contemplated
by the Hon. Member for Buckinghamshire—were it
not that his motion was intended " seriously to
damage, if not effectually to destroy, the Ministry,"
and to bring into power a party desirous of imposing
fresh restrictions on trade and commerce, and of
taxing the "many" for the benefit of the privileged
few—we would indeed rejoice to witness the appoint-
ment of a Committee " to take into consideration the
state of the nation." The lion. Gentleman did
not by any means exaggerate the distress and
difficulties endured by the industrious classes through-
out the entire cou:,try. Ably and eloquently he de-
picted the sufferings of the people, and his tale was
unfortunately " ower true." He exhibited but too
faithful a picture of the fearful depreciation of every
description of property, and of the contraction of in-
dustrial pursuits, and the strictest and trost
searching investigation should unquestionably be in-
stituted into the causes that have produced
or contributed to produce such lamentable results.
But the Honourable Gentleman is grievously
mistaken as to the nature of these causes. He has,
perhaps, succeeded in showing that the acknowledged
evils are not ascribable to "continental convulsion,
or railway investment, or commercial speculation,"
or even "to the Irish famine ;" neither are they to
be ascribed to the "new commercial system," and the
abolition of protective imposts, of which he so loudly
complained. It is owing to the adoption and
establishment of that " new system" that the nation
has been enabled to weather the storm, and to en-
counter successfully the difficulties by which it has
been surrounded. These difficulties would have been
fearfully aggravated, perhaps rendered insurmount-
able, if prohibitory tariffs had been retained, if the
corn-laws flourished, and the " sliding scale" had
been maintained in full operation. It is
not because the principles of free trade have been
partially recognised that the nation has suffered, but
because they have not been fully and completely car-
ried out; because " free trade in money" has not been
conceded; because a system of indirect taxation still
imposes undue restrictions on our foreign commerce.
It
is true that those duties are now levied for pur-
poses of revenue, and not of protection ; the effect is,
however, still the same, and but too painfully per-
ceptible. Our trade
from the high amount
China is still con-
tractedith
mouatof the tea duties, al-
mthuoluagteh thethe

duties may not be to sti•

production.

" The rose by any other name will smell as sweet;"
and the effect of indirect taxation will remain the
same, although the purposes for which it may be im-
posed are altogether different.
The nation has passed through a crisis of no ordi-
nary character. We have witnessed a monetary'
