consistent politioal reel*. —(A Itsagsa) They Wtit4i,
not admirers of the monarchical principle. In fact, and
there was no use in concealing that fact, money was titer
element in which they delighted. They had an intuitive-
fondness for and power of grasping that element; and.
nothing could check or abate the appetite.—(lricreasel
laughter.) Why their love of money was so great, that
when Jerusalem was besieged by Titus they swallowed
quantities of gold, and the Roman soldiers were actually
obliged to rip up their bowels to come at the precious
metal.—(Roars of laughter, in which the worthy deputy
was obliged to join.) He had no objection to see men
looking after their own pecuniary interests, but there
was nothing to show that the Jews looked after any
other interests.—(Laughter.) There was nothing to
show that they were good, or likely to be good, in the
science of legislation, or to entertain respect for Legisla-
tors, for they kicked against their own. They were, in
truth, essentially a commercial people. They would sell
their own brothers.—(Great laughter.) If a question of
commerce were to be considered, he admitted that the
Jews would be likely to distinguish themselves as capital
Commissioners; but it was really a serious thing
to contemplate a Jewish Legislature; and if
one Jew were to get into Parliament he
could not see why fifty should not follow.— (Laughter.)
Only think of fifty Jews in the Reuse of Commons!
Why Lord John Russell was prettily bothered to manage
fifty of the Irish Members; what a condition would his
Lordship be in if fifty Jews wire to be added to the fifty
Irish ?—(Great laughter.) There was nothing extra-
vagant in that position. It was very well known that.
money could t ffect a great deal upon the Legislature of
the country.—(Cries of 'Oh, oh," and roars of laughter.)
Certainly he admitted it was contrary to law that such
was the case, but it was agreeable and congenial to
practice, and the Jews knew how to procure that upon
which they knew so much depended. The Legislature
of England ought to be constituted of born and bred
English, Irish, and Scotch. A Jew had no nationality—
a Jew was as much a Pole, or a Russian, or an Asiatic,
as an Englishman, and if that people got into Parlia-
ment, they might at the sound of a trumpet scamper off
to the promised kingdom, and leave the Parliament to
work fur itself.—(Laughter.) They would sacrifice their
seats, and everything but their money, upon hearing the
Divine call. Deputy Corney concluded by moving, as au
amendment, the previous question.
Mr. JOHN Dixox seconded the amendment, but such
was the effect of Deputy Corney's speech upon the
Court, that nobody attempted to utter a word more upon
the subject.
The motion of Mr. Anderton was then carried by an
immense majority, only nine hands having been held up
for the amendment.

A petition to both Houses of Parliament was then
agreed to, and ordered to be presented on Thursday,
according to the usual forms, and the result of the pro-
ceedings was ordered to be published in the asual
morning and evening papers.
The Court, which was specially called for the consi-
deration of the question of the Jewish disabilities, was
then adjourned.
Alderman Salomons was present during the whole of
the proceedings.
