THE JEWS BILL.
On the motion that the house go into committee on
this bill,

Lord 'LYNDHURST said be supposed when this bill
was read a third time both bills on this subject would be
sent down to the other house, where he felt confident
both bills would be accepted. (Hear, hear, from
Earl Derby.) He felt perfectly satisfied with this ar-
rangement, and he also felt confident that the
advocates of this measure would feel a similar satisfac-
tion at tee result which had been arrived at. From the
passing of the measures the new oath would be adminis-
tered instead of the three oaths now taken by members
of Parliament, viz., the oaths of allegiance, supremacy,
and abjuration. The oath differed materiallyfrom those
he had mentioned. as it omitted all that relating to the
Pretender, and the objectionable words, "on the true
faith of a Christian," could also
,be left out if required.
The' bdl at eieueut before:o34e lerdships-entitled per-
sons of the Jewish persuasiOn to er.joyed by oilier
subjects of her Majesty, viz., to sit, as it were, by license, in
both this and the other house.. They also became en-
ti led to held certain high offices in the State, except
those specially mentioned in the last two clauses.
He felt perfectly satisfied, as all the otjecte be
intended by his bill bad been obtained by the
two bills, which be now hoped would finally settle
the question, which for y tare Lad oceseioned en much
discussion. rice noble and learned lord havieg ad.
vert d to the ainendmint to be, proposed by a noble
duke, which, he said, had been taken from the Ca-
tholc.Relief Act, contended that the Jews and Roman
.Catbolice stood in a very different position with respect
to the presentation r f clergymen to vacant livings.
The Earl of WICKLOW complained that by this
bill Hemet] Catholici were placed in a worse peeition
than the Jews.

Loid CAMPBELL Paid his own opinion was, the
Oaths Bill should be dropped altogether, and that a bill
should be brought in to repeal the oath of avjo;ntior.
Considering' the present period f the sf,s,ion, however,
he was no, prepir, d i. t,uer any opposition to the mode
iu a Lion it was proposed to settle the question.
The Earl of DERBY observed that the oath of abju•
ration affirmed the continued adhesion of the existing
Parliament to the reigning family, and any propolition
to alter it would meet with very great opposition.
The house then went into committee on the bill. The
whole of the clauses, with verbal amendments, were
agreed to, as was an amendment, moved by the Duke
of Marlborough, prohibiting persons of the Jewish per-
suasion advising her Majesty on mastery connected with
the Established Church.
The house then resumed.

missioners should haVe power to lease or sell a portion
of their property for sites of the new barracks which
would have to be erected in lieu cf the present barracks
at Knightsbridge, the lease of which was nearly out.
Lord DONOUGHMORE said that the proposal made
by the noble duke would be. in opposition to the agree-
ment entered into with the commissioners in 1852.
The bill was then read a third time and passed.
The Churches, &c. (Ireland), Bill passed throngh
