;,did pensions to their worn- ost servants, without die •
unction, yet if they leolied into the question, it would
be found that the public servants were infinitely better
paid than the clerks of the Bank of England. Any coat-
i hints that the civil servants hal to make relative to
their salaries had only to be laid before the
beads of departments, when they would comOunicate
them to the treasury, who were at all times ready to con-
si ler them liberal y and carefully. (Hear, hear.) There
was a great difference between a revision of salaries and
the indiscriminate increase of salaries proposed by the
bill, and therefore it was that he could not accede to its
proposition. One complaint against these deductions
was that the moneys were not constituted into a fond,
but he could not understand what difference it made to
thepnblicservants whether these moneys were kept apart
or not, because by the Act of Parliament no public offi-
cer could receive more under a fund than under Govern-
ment security, and there was no reason for saying any
public servant l'ad not received the whole amount con-
templated, or that could be given under the Act of Par-
liament. The right hon. gentleman then entered into
the statement of the civil servants, that if a fund bad
been established it would have increased by compound
interest so as to leave a surplus. Such he said would
not be the case, and in order to prove his assertion, be
entered into a calculation he had made, which showed
that instead of an increase under such circumstances,
there would be a deficiency, and in the course of his re-
marks, be said, that in 1834 the whole of the pensions
paid amounted to 358,0001., and for compensation for
abolished offices, 692 0001. Since then, it had gone on
increasing, and instead of 358,000/ , a. Fetid in 1834, it
had increased to 530.0001. this year ; and compensations
from 692,0001. in 1834, to 830,0001. this year. So that
Co far from their diminishing, year by year, as might
have been expected from the diminished rates of pen-
sions, the amount of pensions had considerably increased;
and whereas the whole amount of abatement was
74,0001., the increase within the last four years
in pensions alone was more than equal to the
whole of that amount. In 1851 the pensions of
the civil servants amounted to 509,000/., and last
year to 589,000/., giving an increase in four years
of 72,0001. against 74,0001., contributions which showed
that so far from the deduction being more than equiva-
lent for the pensions paid, they were not equivalent to
it. The right hon. gentleman next referred t > the dis-
tinction made between the servants who entered the ser-
vice before 1829, and those since 1844, and read extracts
trom the commissioners' report to show that it was
founded in justice. He contended, on the whole, that
no injustice was done the civil servants by the course
now pursued, though he admitted there were many ano-
malies that required to be got rid of. To give peneions
to the civil servants of the Crown, without their contri-
buting towards it, wool f open up a broad and serious
question. At present the half-pay of the army amounted
to 568,0001., which was a much smaller sum than was
paid to the 16,000 civil sesveets whom it was proposed
by this bill to give the right of pension ; and if the
latter were permitted to take pensions without contribu-
tions, he thought, the army wold have a rignt to demand
that their claims be considered. He was inclined to believe
that the agitation that hat arisen on this question was
owing to the pressure of the income tax during the past
two or three years, the civil service looking upon there
payments in a dlffarentliebt to other men. Tile amount
being deducted from the salaries of the civil service, it
was looked upon by them as a deduction of their sala-
ries, whereas others upon it as a part of their annual
expenditure. Tney would, however, be relieved this
year more than one-half in that respect. After some
further remarks the righthon. gentleman said that
there were no grounds for the adoption of the present
bill. It would leave the present anomalies untouched,
as well as introduce more than at present existed, and
consequently fail in removing the dissatisfaction that
now prevailed. The Government, he admitted, felt
that the question could not be allowed te stand where
it was, but he asked the house, whether it was decent,
pending an inquiry that bore on this question, to
force upon the Government the expenditure of
public money without at the came time seeing
that they secured the removal of all those evils
incident to the question. This was a question not against
the Government, but between the representatives and
and their con.tiuencies—the tax payers of the coun.ry
—on a hose behalf the Government resisted the proposed
increase of expenditure. He proposed the second read-
ing of the bill this day three months.
Mr. CLIME said that this was a question of insurance
or deduction from the salaries of the civil service, and
added that much of the present dissatisfaction bad
arisen from the ambiguity of the act of Parliament. He
advocated the cause of the civil servants of the Crown,
who were only asking f>r what was due to them, and be
had no fear ct receiving the support of his constituents
for the cause be pursued. He complained of the Chan-
cellor of the Exchequer and Mr. Wilson admitting the
defective nature of the present act without endeavouring
to remedy it, and unless the Government gave an assur-
ance that they would remedy the complaints nf the civil
service he should vote for the second reading of the
bill.

Mr. WEGUELIN supported the bill, and eondeinted
the system of deductions from salaries for the forma ion
of superannuation fund,. He thought the civil service
had no cause to complain in strict justice, but it was the
duty of the Government and Parliament to see that jus-
tice was done to all classes of the civil service. Wbat
the civil set vice asked for was an alteration in the Act
of 1834. He said that the average of salaries paid at
the Bank of England was higher than had been quoted.
The average salaries for 1856 was 1951. Whilst those
of the civil servants only amounted to 1471. pr annum.
Mr. WILSON said he did not take the lui,kor
eala-
ri=s of the Bank of England into his calculations.
Mr. WEGUELIN said the hon. genii quan had a
strange way of taking an average for drawing a com-
parison. He had taken the high salaries in one service,
and the low salaries of the other. In his (Mr. Wegue-
hee) calculation was included the salaries of all, ineted-
ing the porters in the Bank of England. Then the
only deduction made from the salaries was for a widow's
fund. He supported the report of the commissioners
and condemned the conduct of the Government in this
respect, which was unworthy that of a Whig Goverr-
latent, and much less that of the enlightened dictator-
ship under which they at present txsted. (Laughter.)

Sir F. BARING considered it was time this ques-
tion should be settled in a fair and liberal He
obj cted to the bi 1, because it would 11,4 ,et,.le the
question, from its only dealing with a small portion of
the recommenda' •is of h s commissioners rep, rt. If
it passed it would create great dissatisfaction with the
lower classes of the ser,i te. Another grave nbjection to
the bill was, that it proposed a large increase of salaries
to public servants in a most injudicious manner, and at
at a time wh,n it was not required. It proposed an
increase of 5 per cent. on the higher cl.tss of servant,
but only 2k per cent. on the lower class servants. This
fact was kept rather in the background, because it did
not tally with what they had heard so much of ltt, ly
viz. the con.lition of the pour public servants, (Hear.)
Mr.f S. FITZGERALD supported the claims of the
civil servants of the C 7 E.vn. He thought the till of t'tie
noble lord would increase the efficiency of the tou')lic
service, and make it one harrno:lions whole. He was
ready to flee his constituents on the question of support-
ing the extra expense the bid would entail for the ex r
advantages it would give the Ea rvica,
Mr. W. WILLIAMS, amidst cries of divide,,said
that his constituents would be affected to a large extent
by this bill, and added that it was the duty of the
Government to have presented the Parliament a well
digested seberne for the settlement of the question. lie
olj-3cted to an increase cf 5 per cont. on the salaries of
civil servants.

Mr. RICH, amidst the impatience of tho house, op•
posed the second yowling of th, bill. The learned gen-
tleman spoke amidst cries of divide, and other expres-
sioas of divide, t;11 ten minutes to 4 o'clock, when by the

REPRESENTATION OF THE CITY OF
LONDON.

(MEETING THIS DAY.)

A public meeting of the electors of the City of
London was held to-day, at the London Tavern,
t consider the steps to be taken in consequence of
the rejection of the Oaths Bill by the House of
Lords. There was a very full attendance.

The chair was taken by W. G. PRESCOTT, Esq.,
who, in opening the proceedings, said they were met
there that day to assert their adherence to the prin-
ciple of freedom of el.ection. (Cheers.) He would
not detain the meeting by making any lengthened
observations, but call upon the Baron Rothschild
to address them. (Cheers.)

nil

Baron ROTHSCHILD then came forward and was
received with loud applause. He said when be
was last returned a representative of the city of
London, he promised that, in the event of the re
jection of the bill for the removal of the Jewish
Disabilities by the House of Lords, on the very
first opportunity afforded he would resign the seat
to which they had elected him. He was there that
day to fulfil that promise ; and, in order to do so,
it was his intention that evening to- take the ne-
cessary steps, and the consequence would be that
a new writ would be issued for the City, and it was
for that meeting to determine what course they
would adopt. The legal authorities of the Crown,
he had to inform them, were still of the same
opinion that they had been for years. Sir Richard
Bethell, when Mr. Bethell, gave it as his
opinion that Alderman Salomons, having
taken the oaths of supremacy and allegiance,
was entitled to take his seat in the House of Com-
mons. That was his opinion years ago, and it was
so at the present day, but he now thought it would
place the Commons in conflict with the Lords
if they allowed the Jews to take their seats with-
out an Act of Parliament was passed. That he
thought was a matter of secondary consideration.
(Cheers.) It was a question entirely for the House
of Commons to decide, whether their power was
secondary to any other. (Hear, hear, and cheers.)
He, as well as many other unprejudiced persons,
was of opinion that the power of the House of
Commons was supreme—(cheers)—and to the opi-
nion of the mass of the community he found op-
posed a section of the Home of Lords—(hear,
hear)—a set of persons who seldom came among-t I
the people—bear, hear)—and who did very little
else than attend to their own pleasure and
amusement. (Immense cheering.) The present
House of Commons, he felt certain, was in favour
of the removal of the Jewish disabilities, and if
they determined to go on with• the struggle with
determination and vigour, success was in the end
certain. It was his opinion, that in the event of
the rejection of Lord J. Russell's bill, the House
' of Commons would try to seat him by resolu-

tion, ai they were determined not to forego
their rights and privileges. (Cheers.) Ho begged
to thank them for the patienc3 with which they had
listened to him, and begged to say, in conclusion,
that be appeared before them as a candidate—(en-
thusiastic cheering)—for the representation of the
City of London in Parliament.

Mr. MORLEY came forward to move the first re-
solution. It was t, th 9 effect that Baron Roths-
chi'd having declared his intention of resigning his
seat in Par'iament, and also declared his intention
of again offering himself as a candidate, this
meeting pledges. itself to use its utmost en-
deavours to secure his return as a testimony
of their adherence to the principle of civil and re-
ligious freedom.
Mr. BENNOCH seconded the resolution in a very
energetic speech, in the course of which he said
their principal opponents were 30 recusant peers,
who, if they did not listen to reason, must be
made to listen to something else less palatable.
(This of servation was received with immense
applause.)
A gentleman in the room advised the meet-
ing to wait until a decision was come to with re•
ppect to Lord J. Russell's bill, but his remarks
were received with disapprobation.
After a few words from Mr. Crawford

M.P.

the chairman put the resolution to the meeting for
adoption, which was carried amidst loud cheering.
Mr. W. J. H.r..m. moved the second resolution;
which was as follows :—That the meeting is of
opinion that it is the duty of Government, sup-
ported by the generous confidence of the liberal ,
party as a body, to forward by its entire influence
the immediate settlement of a question, which in
the present as in a former Parliament has been de-
clared by the large majority of the House of Com-
mons to be indispensable to the complete accom-
plishment of civil and relig'ons freedom.
Mr. PRITCHARD (High Bailiff of Southwark), in
seconding the resolution, urged the meeting to con-
tinue their exertions for but a short time longer,
and success would be certain, and by so doing they
would tear away the last rag of persecution.
(Cheers )
The resolution was carried unanimously.
Mr. 'AYRTON, M.P. for the Tower Hamlet.,
moved a vote of thanks to the chairman, which was
carried unanimously, and the meeting separated.

[AnvEwrisminsr.]—The possibility of abandoning medicine
altogether is shown by the numerous extraordinary cures,
without medicine, of indigestion (dyspepsia), flatulency, con-
stipation, nervous, bilious, and liver complaints, cough,
asthma, consumption, and debility, effected by Da
13arrv's delicious Heath - restoring Revalenta Arabica

Clunhury, Shropshire, Dee. 22, 1556.—Gmtlemen,—Being
one of your greatest debtors in respect to the Revalenta
Arabica, I beg to offer you my testimony in its favour. For
many years I suffered severely from chr rude rheumatism,
which at length produced a complication of nervous diseases
that made me perfectly miserable. The most approved reme-
dies in medicine and cict were had recourse to in vain, the
faculty of digestion was brought to a complete stand-still,
and death must apparent y have soon resulted had not my
attention been providentially drawn to the Revalenta Ara-
bica. The very satisfactory character of the testimonials
induced me to snake a ti ial of it ; even within a few days
after I commenced using it somo of the worst symptoms were
so much subdued as to enable me to take a sufficient quantity
of food and drink without any injurious consequences. 'rids
I had not be,n able to do for four years previously, and dur-
ing the last two months of this time not in any measure ex-
cept at the imminent risk of my life, though the greatest
care was used in the selection of what was taken; sleep had
nearly forsaken me, this has now been restored to me, and I
am now, after having taken the Revalenta for some time,
able to perform those functions of animal life which before
had been nearly suspended in rue. I have seen it produce
equally good effects in other cases among some of my
friends to whom I have recommended it, but to ex-
plain all the benefit which I have received from it
would be to fill a pamphlet.—l am, &c., JAMBH CHAPMAN,

PPRES6IO.Y OF GAMBLING-HOC S S.

Yesterday, at the Marlborough-street Police
0.31,e, A' r.tham Levy Gl—olinan, chlrged as the
keeper cf a gamt4ing-houie, No. 28, Covently-
street, and Chas. W. Stewav, (.19or-keeper, wi'h 13
other persons found. in the horse when the !Alice
made an entry, were brouulit before Mr. Bingham
for final exam nat'on. The defendants were re-
minded from the previous examinat on, in order to
give time to Mr. Bingham to consider his judg-
ment, the proceedings being under a new act of
Parliament.

Mr. Lewis, of Ely-placr., was for the defendant=.
Mr. Bingham. said—The defendants GooJm.3n
and S`ewatt were brought to Viis court on the 15th
July, charged with keeping and using a room for
the purpose of unlawful gaming. It appeared that
the room in que-tion a as an inner apartment, aft( r
passing through a shop, over the dour of which was
the inicriptiin, "Abraham Guolman, licanse
dealer in tobacco." That f r the last two months,
during which the shop bad been watched, lit le to-
bac-o or n,ne had been sold, and that no stock of
tobacco was found when the police entered on.the
15th. At half-past one Oat miming a policeman
tappe.l at the shop door. Goodman's kon came out
through the door of the inner apartment into the
shop, and seeing the police through the window,
instead of advancing to open the door, retreated to
the inner apao twebt. The shop was forced by the
police, who proceeding to the inner apartment, found
there fiftean pe,sons, some of them smoking cigars
they had brought with them, and Goodman with a
dice-box and dice in his hand, a backgammon board
being before him. Several pairs of d'ce were found

in the apartment and a ijoining sh togethei with
some dirty cards. A table in the apartment was
covered with three cloths, one of them nailed on to
i., and a curtain prevented any view from the shop
into the apartment. The pers ,ns assembled had
enteied iu the course of the three or four hours
which preceded the visit of the police, and none of
them had purchased in the shop any tobacco or ci-
g►rs. One of the visitors who had fr, quented the
plies brought a stranger will him, who was not
admitted till the introducer vouched him as a friend.
Three of the fifteen persons taken into custody were
called as witnesses under the act 17 and 18 Vic., c.
38, which has recently come in•o operation. Two
of them said they had arrived only half-an-hour be-
fore the entrance of the polic-, and that during that
tine nothing was played but backgammon, which is
not an unlawful game. The third refused to be ex-
amined, and preferred to submit to the penalty of a
recusant witness. By till 8 and 9 Vic., c. 109, where
any dice, t tbles, or ether instruments of gaming,
are found in any h•iuw:e suspected to be used as a
common gatning-house, it shall be evidence, until
the c wintry be made to appear, that such house ►s
used as a common gaming-house. Now dice hav-
ing been found i❑ Go dinau's house, suspected to
be used as a common gaming-hou,e, has he made
the contrary of that suspicion appear ? Assuming
th-►t backgammon was played for half-an-hour air
thereabouts out of the three or four hours dur-

in which the company was assembled, that cir-
cumstance seems to me to confirm rather than
to negative the inference which the stall' e
peremptorily compels a magistrate to draw from
the finding of dice in a snspeetrd house. It is dif
ficul to conceive how 15 persona could play back-
gammon with one beard, while it is obvious that
two persons might be so employed as a blind for
10 or 12 Whets engiged at an nnla,wful game upon
a table well muffled with a tripe covering. And
that the house was not unjustly suspected suffi-
ciently appeais from the shop-front announcing a
business not conducted in earnest ; from the retreat
of the son into an inner room on the sight of the
police ; from the muffled table, as well as the dice
found in that room ; from the hesitation to admit
a stranger till vouched for by a friend, and from
the refusal, even under penalty, of the most respec-
table of the persons apprehended t 3 give evidence.
The punishment for the offence of keeping a cum-
mon gaming-house is a fine not exceeding 5001., or
imprisonment not exceeding one year, at the dis-
cretion of the magistrates. As Goodman is here for
the first time, and as the company assembled in his
house consisted not of minors, apprentices, or s(,r-
vants, who are too frequently tempted be the fac.-
lides of such a house to make free with their em-
ployer's property, but was comeosed of veteran
idlers, who, perhaps, might be left te compass each
others ruin without much loss to society, a fine of
501. only will, as a,commencernent, be imposed on
Goo iman, and 10/. on Stewart, wh acted as door-
keeper. In default of peyment Goodman to be
imprisoned six weeks, Stewart 10 days.
Goodman said there were several backgammon
boards in his h else when the police entered..
Mr. Lewis said the dei,zon would be appealed
against, and it would be fur the magistrate t..) fix the
amount of bad.
Bail for Goidnaaq was fixel at two sureties in
1001. each.
The otiier defendants were discharged.
