TE-I_E SUN,

Protectionists, we cannot but feel assured that the
answer of the Legislature will be briefly, decisively,
and permanently in the affirmative. That an
Israelite can enter the House of Commons as a Le-
gislator is proved by the wording of that very Oath
of Abjuration which: is supposed by many to raise
an obstacle to the admission of non-Christians. We
are conscious that this declaration will be derided
and laughed to scorn by all these who are blinded by
religious bigotry, and who have merely a superficial
knowledge of that frivolous formula. But let
these malcontents regard the matter for just txo
minutes dispassionately, and they will be forced to
acknowledge that the Oath of Abjuration is so fragile
and flimsy in its nature as to present no barrier
whatever to the entrance of a Jew into the Lower
House:at Westminster. They will perceive, that being
a believer in the religion of MosEs is no more a
disqualification than being a flagrant and avowed
Atheist ; that a man can no more be prevented by
the Oath of Abjuration from taking his seat in the
House because he denies the divinity of the RE
DEEMER, than he can for denying the existence of the
GODHEAD. The moral of all this may be question-
able, but the fact is indisputable.
To eiplain the accuracy of our assertion, that the
Baron LIONEL DE ROTHSCHILD can sit in Parliament
as one of the four representatives of the city of Lon•
don, in spite of the Oath of Abjuration, it must
first be observed that that oath is from first to
last an absurdity, because it is the abjuration of
what is no longer in existence. To speak ex-
plicitly, it is the abjuration of the STUARTS•
The abjuration of the STUARTS ! Why we might
as well abjure Mr. SAMUEL PICKWICK! The
endangerment of the present dynasty is just as pos-
sible through the one quarter as through the other—
through a creature of the imagination, as through the
representative of a house that is extinct. Were
bonnie Prince CHARLIE still winning the hearts of
the virgins of Scotland, and still rousing the devotion
of his Jacobite followers, there might be some reason
in requiring this solemn abjuration of his august but
degraded race. But when the last of the STUARTS
has been long since as dead—to speak with
all the emphasis of the vernacular—as mutton,
as a door-nail, or even as JACOB MARLEY him-
self, it becomes ridiculous to require such an abjura-
tion. Now, the Oath of Abjuration being thus pre-
posterous in its intentions— being tantamount in fact
to laying the ghost of treason—it is manifest that the
words " on the true faith of a Christian " are merely
a superfluous confirmation of what has already been
sworn, and that what has already been sworn (namely,
the abjuration of the STUARTS) is sheer nonsense. It

LON DON,

what must be the result ? We do not approve of the
doctrine of " moral complicity " put forward by M.
HEBERT, but surely if DUPOTET was in any degree
responsible for the regicidal attempt of ALIBAUD,
Archdeacon LAFFAN cannot be altogether innocent
of the events that may possibly follow his eloquence.
New powers are demanded on behalf of the Executive
to proclaim districts where savage acts are perpe-
trated. Surely the first step to tranquillize the
country should be to prevent or punish the utterance
of language such as that to which we have alluded.

It is announced in a Berne journal of the 13th that
an American house had offered to negotiate a loan of
3,000,000 francs for the Federal Government on very
advantageous terms.

General Duroun, the Commander-in-Chief of the
Federal army, had fixed his head-quarters on the 12th
at Avrenches, near Friburg, and summoned the city
to surrender, giving the Friburgers twenty-four
hours in which to decide. Negotiations were en-
tered into, but were broken off on the 13th at noon,
and the attack on the city was commenced. A skirmish
took place on the road leading from Berne to Fri-
burg, in which two officers of the canton of Vaud
were killed, and several soldiers killed and wounded,
The Federal army, however, drove in the advanced
posts of the Sonderbund troops, and having estab•
lished its artillery in a position from which to bom-
bard the city, the authorities sent to General Duroua
proposing terms of surrender, and negotiations were
going on when the last accounts left. There are
sixty French students remaining in the Jesuit Col-
lege of Friburg; about eighty others have taken
refuge in Berne, having been claimed by their
friends.

coaches-and-six can be driven easily through Acts of
Parliament, a Jew can push boldly into the House of
Commons through the flimsy impediment of the Oath
of Abjuration.

It is deeply painful to the friends and well-wishers
of Ireland, to those who have advocated her cause,
and desired that her children should be placed on a
footing of equality in every respect with their Eng-
lish fellow-subjects, to notice such unseemly and un-
Christian language as that which is reported to have
been used by Archdeacon LAFFAN, at the meeting
held at Cashel on Sunday last for the extension of
the tenant-right throughout the whole of Ireland.
We would fain hope that there must have been
some mistake or misapprehension of the sentiments
attributed to a person who professes to be a minister
of the Gospel, and who has attained a certain rank
in the Church of the great majority of the Irish
people ; but, unfortunately, Archdeacon LAFFAN
has already earned an unenviable notoriety
from the abuse he has already poured
forth against English institutions and the Eng-
lish people, ;and which it has heretofore been our
painful duty to censure in no sparing terms. We
fear, therefore, that there may be but too much foun-
dation for the reports that have been promulgated—
and we cannot refuse credence thereto, at least until
their accuracy is impugned, and some contradiction
put forward by or on behalf of the person to whom
they are ascribed. We need not say how happy we
should be to publish any such contradiction, to vin-
dicate the character of a person calling himself a
Christian minister from such grave and weighty im-
putations.
The former harangues in which this venerable
gentleman indulged exhibited singular instances of
bad taste and a total absence of anything like gentle-
manly feeling. He abused in the most outrageous
terms those who were heaping benefits upon:
his countrymen : he endeavoured to excite
the animosity of the people against their benefactors,
and used the influence belonging to his clerical posi-
tion for the unworthy purpose of inflaming the popular
mind against the Government who had fed his dis-
tressed and destitute countrymen in the hour of ad-
versity. But in no part of these orations did he react'
the pitch of atrocity to which he ascended on the last
Sabbath-day, when addressing those whom he ar'..
mitted to be " the excitable Tipperary men." If such
is their character, it was surely the more incumbent
on the speaker to avoid those irritating topics which
would act on their inflammatory temperaments, to
abstain from using any language that could by a
possibility be misconstrued or misunderstood. The
soil of his county had been polluted but the preceding
day with the blood of a humane and estimable
gentleman, who at the moment was suffering under
the wounds inflicted by an assassin, and from the
effects of which but the faintest hope of his recovery
was entertained. Another victim had also perished
on the borders of the county by the murderer's hand
on the same day. The painful intelligence must have
been known at the meeting, and the fearful blood-
shed that had been of almost daily occurrence in
Tipperary for some time past was but too notorious.
Surely a clergyman, fresh from the duties of his
sacred profession, should not have suffered himself to
say anything that would make murder appear less
hateful, or which might be supposed even for a mo-
ment to be laudatory of the blood-stained afsassin ;
and yet we find the following words attributed to
him :—" The Saxon scoundrel, with his belly full of
Irish meat, could well afford to call his poor, honest,
starving fellow-countrymen savages and assassins ;
but if in the victualling department John Bull had
suffered one-fifth of the privations to which the
Tipperary men were subject—if he had courage
enough he would stand upon one side, and shoot tht
first man he would meet with a decent coat
upon his back. But the Saxon had not courage to
do anything like a man—he growls out like a hungry
tiger." Now, what interpretation could possibly be
given to these passages by " an excitable" people? is
it not palpably that it is a courageous and manly act
to avenge yourself on those by whom you were op-
pressed, or to whom your sufferings were in any de•
gree attributable? if you were exposed to privations,
to deprive of life those who were more fortunately
cirsumstanced than yourself? Having thus given
this significant hint as to the course which a Saxon
would pursue " if he had courage," he immediately
after waxes eloquent on their wrongs, and points
out the tyrannical oppressors—the landlords. He
says, " Look to that fertile valley, teeming with
luxuriance and beauty beneath our eyes—taking
in the richness of the district to the Devil's Bit,
and from Barnane to the princely Shannon—inha-
bited by as fine a race of men, and by as lovely and
virtuous a race of women, as any to be found in the
world. With all this richness, all this beauty, and all
this goodness, what was it made Tipperary so often
a scene of blood ? The cause was evident to all
men's eyes—landlordism was the demon that blasted
what was meant for happiness—landlordism which,
without mercy, would level the hovel of the poor
man, which had sent the bone and sinew of the land
to
fertilize and enrich the forests and the prairies of
America, which had sent the poor man to starve
in workhouses, or to die by the roadside, be-

will not be slow in picking out what they, at least,
may believe to be the real meaning of thevenerable
orator. A Saxon, if he suffered privations and was
oppressed, would shoot his tyrant. You are op-
pressed—the landlords occasion all your misery._

murderer. Such is the purport of bis speech, and

Several Jesuits have taken refuge in Neufchatel.
On the 13th the Federal Directory received infor-
mation from Argau, by courier, that four battalions
of infantry and several companies of cavalry and
artillery made an attempt to invade the Freiant of the
canton of Argau. They endeavoured to force the
passage of Reuss between Dietwyl and Mar, but
some companies of artillery from Zurich, supported
by detachments of militia, oppesed so vigorous a re-
sistance to them that they were obliged to retrace
their steps.
The Papal Nuncio at Lucerne is taking an active
part in encouraging the fanaticism of the Sonder-
bund. He has installed himself high priest of the
Jesuit League, and passes his time in blessing ban-
ners and blunderbusses, and exciting the fanaticism
of the ignorant peasantry of the mountain cantons.
This worthy Nuncio was appointed by LAMURUS-
CHINI during the pontificate of GREGORY XVI., and
considering the known retrograde tendency of his
ideas, it is surprising that Plus IX. should have so
long suffered him to misrepresent the now liberal
Court of Rome.

We read in the Patria of Florence of the 9th :
" Blood flows at Fivizzano! The Modenese- are
the aggressors! Pietra Santa has risen up in arms!
An express from Fivizzano has just arrived bringing
us these tidings. The Modenese arrested, without
knowing why, the sergeant-major of the Tuscan
carabineers. The people took his part. The Mode-
nese fired upon the people, killed one, and wounded
several. Upon this all the citizens flew to arms, and
skirmish ensued, which was going on at the departure
of the courier, who, in passing by Pietra Santa,
found that town in arms, and on the point of going
to the rescue of their brethren. May God protect
justice and liberty ! Courage !"
The Tuscan Government has published an official
statement of the occupation of Fivizzano, ending with
the following paragraph :
" Thus an act was perpetrated which the Tuscan
Government could neither foresee nor prevent, and
which, with respect to the rights and the dignity of
the Sovereign and the State, must be the subject of
grave and serious consideration."

Considerable excitement prevails in Rome in con-
sequence of the removal of BOTTI from the office of
Censor of the Press, and the appointment in his place
of SBARRETTI, whose tendencies are towards the re-
trograde party. The conductors of the various
Roman journals had an interview with SBARRETTI on
the 6th, which was of a nature anything but satis-
factory.
On the same day a deputation of citizens waited
on Cardinal FERRETTI to obtain permission to hold a
celebration on the 15th, the day on which the pro-
vincial deputies were to assemble. The Cardinal
Secretary acceded most readily to this request, and
seized the opportunity of referring to the proceedings
of M. SBARRETTI in relation to the press, of whose
conduct he spoke in terms of disapprobation, adding
that the POPE had resolved to grant the utmost prac •
ticable freedom to the press, and with that view had
named a commission, under the presidency of M.
A AIICI. He concluded his observations by the fol-
lowing words :—" When I shall see a good and
liberal law upon the press brought into operation—
when the Council of State shall have been organized—
when the municipality shall have commenced its
functions—l shall then return to the ranks of the
people, and I will be in relation to the Holy Father
the interpreter of the wishes and the supporter of the
rights of his subjects." These words were received
with the most lively satisfaction.
A letter from Rome of the Bth says—
" I have the pain of announcing to you the defini-
tive retirement of Cardinal Ferretti. He has just
again offered his resignation to the Pope, which has
been accepted by his Holiness. The successor of the
Cardinal is not yet known. It will be, it is said,
Cardinal Baluffi, Archbishop of Imola, or Cardinal
Amat, Apostolic Legate at Bologna. Both are wor-
thy servants of Pius IX."
A Roman journal states that, on the conference
between the POPE and the Austrian Ambassador on
the 3d, the question of Ferrara was discussed in a
conciliatory manner.
There was a fresh outbreak at Messina on the Bth,
and several conflicts took place between the troops
and the populace, which, however, led to no definitive
results. The horrible cruelties practised by DEL-
CARETTO, the Minister of Police, have driven the
people to despair, and at this moment probably the
whole of Sicily is in insurrection.

The Madrid mail of the II th had not arrived in
Paris at the hour at which the post left.

The Paris papers of Tuesday contain no decisive
intelligence from Switzerland. The Federal army
had arrived before Friburg, but had as vet com-
menced no attack on the city. According to the
Constitutionntl, an understanding has been come to
between General Dtroua and the Friburg autho-
rities for the surrender of the city so soon as the
Federal troops shall be in possession of a convent so
situated as to command the place. This prudent
resolve on the part of the authorities, will no doubt,
be strenuously opposed on the part of the Jesuits,
who have kept the greater number of the French
students in the college at Friburg (while the Irish
and the other students have been sent away) ex-
posed to all the horrors of the siege, and encou-
raged by these " ministers of peace " to place them-
selves in the front of the fight, in order to give
France an opportunity of interfering should any of
these students be killed.

The Count DE MONTALEMBERT, the friend, the
patron, and the champion of the Jesuits in France,
has opened a subscription in behalf of the Sonderbund.
BOURSE—PARIS, TUESDAY, Nov. 16.

THREE o'CLocK.—The heaviness of the market
has continued all day, and prices have again given
way. Immediately before the close the Rente im-
proved, and closed tolerably firm. The Three per
Cents. opened at 76f. 90c., and after going down to
76f. 70c., closed at the opening price; after the
Bourse they were at 76f. 92ic. The Loan
opened at 76f. 80c., and after being done at
761. 65c. advanced to 76f. 90c., .to close at the
opening price. This was the day for settling the
half-monthly account in Railway Shares. The
continuations were high, St. Germain and Rouen
being from 21. 75c. to 3f, Vierzon and Rouen to
Havre 2f. to 2f. 25c. The Versailles lines about
lf. 50c. The several lines closed firm. For the

The Cotton Market at Liverpool, yesterday, was with
out animation. Sales 2000 bales. American realised
60. to 7d. per lb. Railway shares were firm, with a
fair business doing, and prices generally had an upward
tendency.
At the sale of Railway Shares yesterday, by Messrs.

There are not any unfavourable reports in circula-
tion this morning, upon which reliance can be placed, of
any anticipated failures. That some may occur is very
probable, but it is really a waste of space to notice the
rumours in question.
Tbere has been a small arrival of gold this morning
by the General Steam Navigation Company's steamer
the Rainbow.

The recent shipments of bullion by the John Bull and
the Wilberforce, to Hambre', were principally composed
of silver.

With respect to colonial produce we are thus ad
vised

"Although the deliveries for home consumption of
the leading articles of colonial produce exhioit an in-
crease upon the transactions of the year, yet those for
the month ending October 10 show a considerable reduc-
tion compared with those of the same month last year,
and show symptoms of a declining trade, suffering from
the recent pressure and the diminishing employment in
the country; and such being the case, while the imports
generally show a considerable increase, goes fur to
account for the extreme depression of prices which has
recently been experienced, •
" The importation of coffee for the month ending the
10th October shows a considerable increase upon that of
the corresponding month of the two last years; but it
will be remarked that much more than, the whole dif•
ference consists of colonial coffee, that of foreign growth
actually exhibiting a great reduction, being Jess than
one-half of the quantity imported last year.
"The following table shows the quantity of Tea im-
ported, duty paid, exported, and the total deliveries for
the nine months under review, by which it will he. ob-
served, that while the imports show an increase of about
3,500,0001 b., the consumption shows a slight reduction ;
but, on the other hand, the export shows an increase of
fully 1,000,0001 b ; making an increase of nearly
800,000 lb. in the total deliveries ; the aggregate of
which, however, only amounts to 39,826,5161 b., against
an import of 44,912,8801b5. The following are the

There are not any late colonial arrivals announced
this morning.
At present there is a meeting of the creditors of
Messrs. Fry, Griffiths, and Co. being held by adjourn.
ment. The proceedings are not sufficiently advanced to
give a report of the result.
The Consol Market has been rather flat to-day, some
sales for Money having been made at a fall from 84+ to
831, and for the Account from 84i to 83i. Prices are
now one quarter per cent. higher for time. A conside-
rable sale of stock damped the market. Exchequer-bills
are at par. Bank Stock is looking up, and East India
Stock is rather higher.
The Foreign Bonds command very trifling attention.
A bargain has been made in the Four per Cents. Portu-

THE MEETING OF THE
NEW PARLIAMENT.

Whitehall, Parliament .street, and, in fact, the
whole of the avenues leading to the seat of the Im-
perial Parliament, presented an animated appearance
almost before noon. To-day, at one o'clock, 200 or
300 people had gathered at the end of Parliament-
street, and stretching towards the door of the Com-
mons', anxious to get a view of the Peers and Mem-
bers of the new Parliament, journeying towards the
Houses, some of whom were enthusiastically singled
out by their admirers, and were well received as they
passed along. An impression, however, seemed to
have gone abroad tnat the Queen would come down
in state, but in this the sight .seers were disappointed.

IMP kl Al. PARLIAMENT.

(THIS DAY.)

HOUSE OF LORDS.

The new Parliament of 1847 was opened by Com-
mission to-day. The Lords Commissioners were
the Archbishop of Canterbury, the Lord Chancellor,
the Marquis of Lansdowne, Earl Spencer, and the
Earl of Auckland.

The Lords Commissioners took their seats at the
foot of the throne shortly after Two o'clock, when

The LORD CHANCELLOR directed the Mem-
bers of the House of Commons to be summoned to
the bar.

In a few minutes Mr. Ley, the Clerk of the
House of Commons, attended by a numerous body of
Members, appeared at the bar, and the Com-
mission having been read for opening the Parliament,
The LORD CHANCELLOR directed them to
retire to their own House, and choose a Speaker.
The Members then withdrew, and prayers having
been read by the Bishop of St. Asaph, and the Lord
Chancellor having taken the oaths, the swearing in of
Peers was proceeded with. Among the Peers present
besides the Lords Commissioners, we noticed Lord
Campbell, the Earl of Denbigh, the Earl of Straf-
ford, Lord Beaumont, the Earl of Ilchester, the
Marquis of Donegal, Lord Bolton, &c., &c.
