LONDON, FRIDAY, MAY 26, 1848.

The Jewish Disabilities Removal Bill has been
rejected by the Lords, and the cause of bigotry has, so
far the mere division is concerned, triumphed. We
say so far as the mere division is concerned, for never
was any cause so damaged by dThate as was the cause
of the opponents of the Bill by the debate in the
House of Lords last evening. The Marquis of
LANSDOWNE in his opening speech at once placed the
question on its proper basis, by boldly announcing that
the prine4tle of exclusion was a principle contrary to
the spirit of the Constitution, and that therefore it
was fa those who contended for the maintenance of
exclusions to prove their necessity, not for those who
demanded their removal to prove their impolicy.
This at once placed the opponents of the raea,
sure in a position from which they found it
impossible to extricate themselves ; indeed, the
Bishop of OXFORD confessed as much in the
commencement of his speech, a speech
oast ditin-
guished for its want of candour, its want f emper-
ance, its want of truth, as it was for its eloquence
and its remarkable exhibition of the " cunning of
fence" of a perfect master of casuistry. All hove
rs
of true eloquence are, however, under great obliga-
tions to the Bishop of OXFORD, for he brought out—
we were about to say Lord BROUGHAM, but we must
correct ourselves, he brought out HaNar BROUGHAM,
the HENRY BROUGHAM of twenty years since—the
HZNILY BROUGHAM of the old House of Corn
mons, the giant who wrestled with CANNING.
Never was BROUGHAM more eloquent, more earnest,
more energetic ; never were his arguments more lo-
gical ; never was his legal lore brought to bear upon
apolitical subject with more happy effect; never was
his
sarcasm more withering. The unfortunate
Bishop of OXFORD absolutely • writhed under the in-
fliction, and gave visible signs that he felt acutely
every application of the discipline. The Right Rev.
SAMUEL WILBERFORCE will not soon forget the
lesson of last night. The speech of Lord BROUGHAM
was, in every sense of the word, a great speech ; net
only was it the speech of the debate—not only was
it the speech of the session—but it is a speech for all
time—a speech that will be hereafter quoted and
studied as a perfect model of Parliamentary elo-
uence.

—Tiheexcitement in Ireland with respect to the
krthcoming trial under the new Act is increasing in
intensity as the day approaches when every doubt
must be resolved. Every effort has been made to in-
flame the passions of the people, and to induce them
to believe that there has been an unfair interference
with the jury panel, and that the Crown are resolved
to obtain the conviction of the prisoner per fas aut
zjefas. Public meetings have been held in the metro.
polls and in various parts of the country, at which
