removing every religious disability from all her Majesty's
subjects.
The Earl of SHAFTESBURY believed that persons holding
such opinions as the Jews ought not to legislate for a
Christian country. He might meet the accusation of
persecution which had been brought against the oppo-
nents of this measure, by a counter-accusation of infide-
lity, but he would not do so.
The Earl of CARLISLE considered the ultimate suc-
cess of the,measure certain, and besought their Lordships
not to place themselves in dangerous antagonism to the
other House and to public opinion.
The Earls of WINCHELSEA and GALLOWAY and Lord
ABINGER opposed the Bill, which was supported by the
Earl of WicKLow, the Duke of ARGYLL, and the Bishop
of NORWICH.

The LORD CHANCELLOR replied.
After which their Lordships divided, and the numbers
were—

The Bill was consequently lost.
Their Lordships then adjourned.

Mr. M. GIBSON withdrew his County Rates Expen-
diture Bill.
Mr. BANKES moved that it be an instruction to the
General Committee of Elections, to select a chairman
and six other Members to be a Select Committee, ap-
pointed, to inquire: into the allegations of a petition re-
lative to the last election for the borough of Harwich ;
and that the Members so selected do constitute the said
Committee, with power to send for persons, papers, and
records, and that five be a quorum. The petition charged
that there had been, on the part of the Government
officer an undue influence and interference in the said
election.
The motion was opposed by Mr. COBDEN, Mr. T.
DUNCOMBE, and Mr. B. OSBORNE, on the ground that
the corruption of Harwich was so notorious that it ought
to be at once disfranchised.
It was supported by Mr. J. STtTuAßTbarna erdwMre.—DISRAELL

The announcement of the numbers was received with
loud cheering.
On the motion for the House resolving itself into Com-
mittee of Supply,
Mr. Sergeant MURPHY called the attention of the First
Lord of the Admiralty to the want of accommodation
for the repair of steam-vessels at Hawlboline, and moved
that a Committee be appointed to inquire into the subject.
Sir F. BARING opposed the motion.
After a short discussion, in which several Irish Mem-
bers took part,
The House divided, and the numbers were—

The attention of the House was then directed by Mr.
P. MILES to the case of the Bishop of GLOUCESTER, and
the lease of the Horfield manor.
An animated discussion ensued, in the course of which
Mr. HORSMAN vindicated the course he had pursued, and
Mr. GLADSTONE and Sir JAMES GRAHAM defended the
Bishop.
Eventually the subject dropped, and the House went
into Committee of Supply.
The remainder of the evening was occupied in dis-
cussing the estimates.

Everything has hitherto prospered in reference to
the Great Industrial Exhibition. Not England
alone, but each of the principal nations of Christen-
dom respectively has materially aided in its develop-
ment. Insomuch has this universal enterprise been
responded to, that every incidental expense has been
long since liquidated by the proceeds of this gigantic
undertaking. Proposals have consequently been
made fur the ultimate purchase of the Crystal Palace,
so that the event which has thus conspicuously
marked the present year of grace 1851 may be
perpetuated in the national remembrance. "
NARIUS " has demonstrated not merely the facility
of such an arrangement, but the beneficial
end to which the edifice when thus ren.
dered public property might be turned. The
popular mind has in this manner become fami-
liarized with the idea of a permanent structure
in Hyde-park, where the inhabitants of the metro-
polis might promenade in all weathers, under a trans-
parent roof, in the midst of green trees and aromatic
shrubs, among flowers and fountains, with creeping
plants trailed up the pillars, and vines festooned
across the naves and transept, philosophers lecturing
to their classes upon mysteries of science no longer
recondite, sculptors displaying their statuary, and
artists their paintings in a profusion hitherto imprac•
ticable from the restricted limits of our galleries, and
under circumstances more than ever advantageous.
Suggestions have likewise been thrown out for the
revival of this wholesome competition among all
labourers in art or in industry, by supplementary ex-
positions such as would infallibly be calculated to
maintain the stimulus now first imparted to civili-
zation.

Meanwhile the citizens of Paris are making consi-
derable preparations for the reception of the Royal
Commissioners, on the occasion of a grand banquet
to be gis en in the Hotel de Ville, a banquet which,
it is hoped, may be attended not only by the LORD
MAYOR of London, but also by several of her MAJESTY'S
Ministers, Red, above all, by the august originator of
the whole enterprise, the illustrious PRINCE, the
Consort of our SOVEREIGN. Whether these anticipa-
tions of our neighbours meet with realization or dis-
appointment, it is certain that the festivities given in
the capital of the French Republic will be worthy of
the great nation which has principally participated
with ourselves in the carrying out of the Exhibition.
Gratifying as these things are, there is, neverthe-
less, one point in the arrangements which has excited
the chagrin of the exhibitors themselves, and one,
moreover, which is likely to inflict no
small amount of injury upon many indi-
viduals. We allude to the regulations ac •
cording to which it has been resolved to delay the
distribution of the prizes until such time as the ex-
position shall have been actually consummated. A
little reflection, we are satisfied, will be sufficient to
N convince any unprejudiced mind that by such an ar-
r angement as this no advantage whatever is obtained,
ea ;He, on the contrary, a very grievous injury
Ls, on various persons, necessarily and inevi-
;eably inflicted. Supposing, for example, that in
any particular department one exhibitor has,
'by the unequalled excellence of his contribu-
s slops, immeasurably distanced all competitors,
hearing away the palm even to the unanimous opinion
of the multitude, by denying him the benefits certain
to accrue from a first-class prize until such time as
the display in the Crystal Palace has been actually
closed, you withhold from him the principal portion of
the good otherwise arising from his incontestable
superiority. Besides which, his rivals in that particu-
lar branch of art or industry, availing themselves of his
masterpiece as a prototype, may (and we
know, for a fact, really do) in the meantime
copy his ideas, and by so doing benefit fraudulently
through their respective customers. The evil here com-
plained of is really of a nature so grievous and
manifest that it is earnestly to be hoped that a speedy,
or at any rate an earlier distribution of the prizes
may be resolved upon by the Commissioners. By
such a modification of their arrangements a grievance
of some magnitude would be very readily obviated, a
grievance which, it should be remembered, is every
day becoming more and more lamentably experienced.
Apart altogether from the conduct of the Industrial
Exhibition itself, there are projects connected with the
Crystal Palace eminently deserving consideration.
Among these, by no means the least interesting in its
character, is one embodied in a design recently con-
tributed to the Fine Arts Department of the Exposi-
tion. According to the scheme indicated by the
author, or architect of this design, Mr. E. BENNETT,
C•E•1 of Westminster, it is proposed that a national
monument to his Royal Highness the Prince ALBERT
shall commemorate the Great Industrial Ex-
hibition of 1851 and the chief events con-
nected therewith, effecting this by bronze
relief, and by emblematic sculpture illustrative
of the noble object his Royal Highness had in
view as the creator of the entire enterprise. A glance
at this
as it is represented in the Fine Arts
Department of the Crystal Palace, will amply repay
the curiosity of the visitor, revealing, as the sketch
does, a considerable amount of skill and ingenuity.
Besides indicating the fact that the PRINCE CONSORT
was the author of the whole undertaking, the com-
memorative monument would intimate in a very sig-
nificant manner to foreigners the reverential affection
with which the people of these islands cling to each of the
respective portions of the Constitution. It may be re-
marked, as it were, en passant, that the design in ques-
tion is square, the four sides being intended to contain '
bronze castings in relief to represent, first, the ex-
terior of the building, secondly, the interior, thirdly,
the inauguration, and fourthly, the distribution of
prizes to the exhibitors, each casting being twice the
,
size of those already affixed to the Nelson Testi-
monial. On either side of these bronzes it is pro-
posed to have sculptured figures in niches, emble-
matic in their character, while above this base will be

four other figures, representing Europe, Asia,
Africa, and America, and again above these a granite
semblance of the globe, with a Parian marble
statue of the PRINCH CONSORT upon it,
enshrined in a metal gilt temple, dedicated to
Fame and Prosperity, and surmounted with
the royal crown of England. Flanking the
whole structure it is intended that there shall be four
gigantic lions couchant and slumbering, as types of
the international tranquillity to which the enterprise
is attributable, and which it is in like manner emi-
nently calculated to promote, if not to perpetuate.
Altogether the design of this monument is singularly
beautiful in effect, and would, if adopted, be likely to
reflect credit upon the artistic skill as well as•the
industrial capacities of our generation. Added to
which, it would in the most effectual manner call to
the remembrance of posterity the great event of 1851,
that of the present Exhibition.

The practical reformer must now look forward to
the legislation of future years for the realization
of his aspirations. There is but little prospect
of any new business being carried to a succes-
ful termination during the present session. We
cannot even venture to hope that the annual
0/massacre of the innocents" will be dispensed with,
or that the measures now under consideration will be
passed in their integrity without mutilation or cur-
tailment. The year of the Great Exhibition will
therefore be notorious as the year of legislative inac-
tion, and we can only hope, by increased activity
during the recess and in the next session, to make up
for the backslidings of that which is now rapidly ap-
proaching to its termination.

We have however a goodly programme for the next
sitting of Parliament. It is certain that measures of
Parliamentary, of fiscal, and of legal reform must be
brought forward by Ministers at the very commence-
ment of next year. Pledges have now been given that
must be amply redeemed. It is essential that these
should be of an extensive and comprehensive character,
if the Government desire to regain the confidence of
the country, and to occupy once more the position
which they held in the beginning of February last.
It is, perhaps, the last chance that may be afforded, and
lamentable indeed will be the result if those who were
once looked up to with pride should be found wanting,
or let the golden opportunity slip without being
turned to good purpose.
A new Reform Bill will be introduced next year.
The twenty years that have elapsed since the modern
charter of the national liberties have clearly proved
that a further concession is required, that the doc-
trine of finality must be solemnly repudiated. The
ignominious defeats sustained on the motion of Mr.
LOCKE KING and Mr. HENRY BERKELEY have opened
the eyes of Ministers to the state of public opinion
on the all-important questions of extension of the
suffrage and protection to the voter in the exercise of
his highest privilege. Lord JOHN RUSSELL has exhi-
bited a natural anxiety to obtain the credit of intro-
ducing the new Bill, and from recent indications we
are inclined to hope that it may prove worthy of his
quondam reputation. It will, indeed, be a glorious
privilege to be permitted in 1852 to introduce a
fitting successor to the Act of 1832, and to none can
it be more properly intrusted tha❑ to the author of the
former enactments. That it will consist of a large
extension of the suffrage none can doubt who have
considered the speeches of the Noble Lord during
the present year. And there are other matters that
will also unquestionably be included, such as the
total abolition of the property qualification, and we
venture to hope the tardy recognition of the principle
of the ballot.

Tke objections put forward by the PREMIER to the
Bill of the Honourable Gentleman the Member for
East Surrey, were not directed so strongly against
the principle of the measure, or the assimilation of
the franchise in counties and boroughs, as to the fact
that it would form but a portion.of the boon which the
Government was prepared to bestow on the nation,
and which they were anxious to introduce in one
Bill, and to obtain the entire honour of conceding.
It would certainly have been received as an instal-
ment of justice; but, although valuable so far as it
went, it would not satisfy the nation. If, then, Lord
JOHN be prepared to ♦erify the sanguine anticipa-
tions of true reformers—to act up to the con-
stitutional doctrine, that there shall be
"no taxation without representation," or, in other
words, that every man who contributes in any degree
to the liquidation of the national liabilities and the
maintenance and support of the national establish-
ments, shall have a voice i❑ the national councils by
himself or his representative, we shall willingly and
freely pardon the tardiness of the concession.
But it must, as we have stated, be a full measure
of reform ; henceforward the want of the franchise
must be the exception, and not the rule. Every man
who is responsible in any degree for the support of the
pauper population, who is directly assessed to the
poor•rate, must have the right of bestowing his
suffrage in some electoral district. Every person
subject to direct taxation, by being liable for what
will, we trust, in 1852, be a property, and not an
income tax, should have a similar privilege
and it would be exceedingly desirable if
a literary test were also established, so that every
person who had received a certain degree of educa-
tion, and could stand a reasonable examination, should
also receive the franchise. Then, indeed, there would
be a motive supplied for exertion that would speedily
remove the brand of ignorance from the British
nation. Then, indeed, the want of the suffrage would
reflect disgrace on the "political cypher," and
not on the Government or the Legislature of the
country.

The constituencies which are mere puppets in the
hands of some aristocratic patron, who can nominate
the representative or representatives at his mere will
and pleasure, must also be either disfranchised, or
the boundaries and number of electors so largely
increased, as to afford a reasonable prospect
of independent representation. The days of
rotten boroughs ought to have long since passed
away. It was one of the professed objects of the
Reform Bill to remove that anomaly, but, unfortu-
nately, it failed in its intended effect. It is but too
❑otorious that there are many boroughs where the
will of the patron is the supreme law, and the form
of an election is but " a mockery, a delusion, and a
snare." The pages of "Dodd" will afford ample
confirmation of this melancholy fact—the influences
paramount in each of the delinquent boroughs being
openly recorded in the pages of that valuable compi-
lation. Can such a state of affairs be permitted ?
No—most unquestionably, no. But the grievance
must be fairly met and boldly grappled with. No-
mination boroughs must not be spared; because
they belong to Whig families, or because they can-
not be disfranchised without a similar rule being
applied to Whig boroughs. An equal measure of
justice must be meted out to all, and it must be made
manifest that no private interests shall be suffered to
prevail in a measure of such paramount public im-
portance.

But, as we have already stated, the extension of the
suffrage and the enlargement of the smaller electoral
districts, will be of comparatively little advantage to
the community, unless the security of private voting
be accorded to each elector. Under other circum-
stances undue influences will still prevail, and bribery
and corruption, coercion and intimidation, will be
attempted in too many instances. The total silence
of the PIZEMIER and his colleagues on the discussion
that took place, on the motion of the Hon. Gentleman
the Member for Bristol for liberty to introduce a
Bill, was exceedingly significant; and it is by no
means improbable that " the ballot" may form a
distinguishing feature of the new Parliamentary Re-
form Bill of 1852.

The Arbitration as to the remuneration for the con-
veyance of the mails to be paid to the Chester and Holyhead
Railway Company during the period antecedent to the com-
pletion of the Britannia-bridge, which has been some years
pending, has at length been brought to a close. The arbitra-
tor on the part of the Post-office was Captain Williams, RE ;
on the part of the Railway Company, Wyndham Harding,
Esq. The umpire selected was J. Arthur Roebuck, Esq.,
M.P. The award of Captain Williams was, for the services
rendered during the period before the completion of the
Menai-bridge, 1100/. ; the award of the umpire, 28,0001.
TELEGRAPHIC COMMUNICATION IN NORTH WALES.
—The communication between Liverpool and Holyhead, by
means of the electric telegraph is now complete, and in full
operation, rid Chester. There requires now but the laying
down of the long-projected submarine telegraph between the
island of Anglesey and the sister country, fully to complete
the chain of telegraphic communication between Dublin,
London, and the great towns of England. It is proposed, on
the completion of the South Wales Railway, to adopt the
system on that line, and finally to extend it to the Pembroke-
shire coast. By these means both the north and south of the
principality would be brought into immediate intercourse
with England.

The sales of Cotton at Liverpool yesterday were
estimated at from 8,000 to 9,000 bales; of which 1,000
bales American were taken for export, and 500 Surat
on speculation. The sales comprised 7,000 American,
150 Pernam and Maranham at 6d. to 61d., 100 Egyptian
at sid. to 7ed., and 1,000 Surat at 21d. to 3id. per lb.
The market closed heavily, and prices of all kinds were
lower, and in some cases to the extent of d. per lb.
Railway Shares were flit at lower rates.
The Corn Market is quiet to-day.
The amount of business done this week in the mer-
cantile markets has been large, but importers have
wisely met the buyers, and at a slight reduction have
freely supplied the latter. Sugar and coffee have been
taken in at full prices for Mocha. Rice has been cheaper
and also saltpetre. Cotton has been at lower rates.
The public sales of 60,000 bales of Wool opened yester-
day afternoon to a lull attendance, and the prices bid
were equal to those obtained at the last series.

Messrs. Wilkinsen and Jewesbury report concerning
the indigo auctions as follows :
" The public sale of 13 888 chests has been concluded,
and has been one of the flattest known for some years.
Both speculators and other holders were willing sellers,
and withdrew large parcels as the sale progressed, to
support prices ; but the orders, both for export and
home use, were very limited, particularly the latter ;
consequently there has been a decline of from par to 2d.
per lb. on fine Bengal (for which eompetition has been
the greatest), and lull 4d. to 6d. per lb. on the lower
qualities ; and when parcels were sold without reserve
even a greater discount was submitted to. Kurpah of
good quality has bee❑ in demand from par to 3d. lower.
Good and flue Madras (which were very scarce) sold at
May rates ; the inferior qualities were chiefly bought in
at about 3d. per lb. discount. The high prices caused by
speculation have materially decreased the demand for
indigo, and it will require a still further reduction to
bring the article again into largo consumption. Taking
it at its lowest point in October, 1847, when prices
were ruinously low, the advance has been about 2s 6,1
per lb; of that about one-half has now been lost since
October last. Our stock is now 38,097 chests, which is
larger than at any time since August, 1846; this may,
however, in a great measure, be accounted fur by the fact
of the stocks, both on the continent and in the hands
of home consumers, being so far below the average. The
deliveries for the first six months of this year were
11,054 chests, being smaller than at any time for the
same period since 1843. Of the quantity brought for-
ward it is estimated that 3,002 chests are bought in,
6.530 withdrawn, and 4,356 sold, to which may be added
about 700 of the bought in and withdrawn, making the
total quantity sold 5,000 chests, of which 4,000 chests
are for export and 1,000 for home use and re-sale. The
following are the quotations, as compared with the last
May sale:—Good and fine shipping par at 2d. per lb.
lower; crdinary and defective ditto, 3d. to 4d.; broken
and consuming, 3d. to 6d.; Madras, par at 3d.; Kurpah,
par 4d. lower."
The accounts received from Vienna still refer to the
extraordinary improvement in the credit of the country,
paper money, which a week or two since was at 32 per
cent. discount, having rallied to 18 per cent. discount.
It is supposed that by the co-operation of certain
wealthy firms a large amount of specie has been re-
cently introduced into Austria, and that this has turned
the tide, and prompted the country people to bring in
their gold to the money-changers. The Government,
too, was giving evidence of a sincere intention to
retrench its expenditure, and we only hope that all this
is not the prelude to the contract of a loan. It is well
understood that the Austrian Government never on the
last occasion obtained the money it required.
The Hamburgh mail brings advices of Friday last.
The rate of exchange on London was 13 3i, being
steady. Funds and bares were in request, and in bills
on London there were fair dealings. Coffee was with-
out alteiation.

At Amsterdam on the I6th inst. there was not much
doing in the home Funds. Dutch Two-and-a-Half per
Cents. were 58 9-16. Spanish Bonds were active.
The English Funds have been very quiet this morn-
ing, and so soon after the settlement a renewal of active
dealing was not to be expected. Consols have been
quoted 96i a for Transfer, and 96i for Account. The
New Three- and. a-Quarter per Cents. have been 98
Bank Stock has been firm at 215 to 215 k. Exchequer-
bills have become firmer at 51s. to 545. premium. India
Bonds have been marked 59A. premium.

MARKET NEWS -(THIS DAY.)

CORN EXCHANGE-FRIDAY.

During the present week, the arrivals of English
W heat up to our market, coastwise, have amounted to
1,450 quarterF. Fresh up to-day the receipts of that
grain by land carrieq,e were small, hence the show of
samples of both red and white was very limited; never-
theless, as the attendance of le-,th town and country
buyers was trifling, the demand for all kinds ruled inac-
tive at Monday's prices. For shipment from the east
coast very few transactions were reported. From
abroad we have received 8 660 quarters of Wheat,
chiefly from the Lower Baltic. Fine dry qualities
changed hands somewhat steadily, at full quotittions;
hut all other kinds were neglected. Very few floating.
cargoes found buyers. We bad a full aterage show of
foreign Barley, but no English was brought forward.
Grinding qualities add at full prices, but all other kinds
met a dull inquiry. Malt, though in short supply,
moved off slowly at low rates. There was a slight im-
provement in the Oat trade, and prices were fairly sup- j

pored. °lntl In,The Corr. vary
tittle attention. A steady business was doing in Fiour
at full prices.

Notwithstanding that the supply of Beasts on sale in
to-day's market was very moderate and in middling con-
dition, the demand for that description of stock ruled
heavy, at Monday's decline in the vote.tione. The
number of Sheep was again seasonably large. All
breeds were exceedingly dull in sale, but no further de-
pression was submitted to in prices. The extreme
value of the best Old Downs was 3s 103 per Blbs. We
had a dull inquiry for Lambs, at unaltered currencies,
which ruled Crum 4s to 5s per 81bs. Calves—the sup-
ply a which was very extensive—moved off slowly at
late rates. In Pigs next to nothing was doing. Milch
Cows were selling at from 141. to 18/. each, including
their small Calf.
