At two o'clock precisely the.chair was taken by the
Right Hon. Edward Horsman, M.P.

The CHAIRMAN, in opening the proceedings, said they
were met together that day, as a party, for the purpose
of concerting measures for carrying out a principle of
civil and religious liberty, to which they were all attached.
They were not .there as the partisans of Baron Roths-
child, but, as he had said, they were there to show their
adherence to a great principle—(hear, hear)—civil nun
religious freedom. Mr. all wyn had given notice of a mo-
tion, which, if carried, would be of great importance, and
the noble lord the representative of tbegreatest commercial
city in the universe, the colleague of Baron Rothschil 1,
had al'o given notice of a motion to amend the let and
2d of Victoria, to regulate the oath for the admission of
its members, The cubject was an important yet
simple one, and, if they were only firmly united
amongst theonselve., the object they all had in view
would be accomplished, and the gentleman who had
been seven times returned as one of the members of

the City of London, would be eligible to take hs
seat in the House of Commons—(Hear, heat)—
and the princip'e which they all had at heart would be
finally accomplished. The last divi3ion on the re-
jecion of the atths had occasioned much disap•
pointment, because it did not contain the natne3 of all

the members of the Government, and it bad been
said that Lord Palmerston was not sincere in
his endavours to remove, the Jewish disabilities, but he
Celt certain such was not the case ; he felt confident that
the noble lord was one of its most earnest supporters.
(Hear.) The right hon. gentleman concluded his address
by forcibly urging upon them, as a party having one ob-
ject in view, to press forward vigorously, and if they did
so, nothing cull prevent them obtaining a final triumph.
Mr. CRAWFORD moved the first resolution, which was
as follows Teat the time has arrived when the long
vexed question of the removal of the Jewish disabilities
should be filially settled, and considering the repeated
opinion of the House of Commons and of the country in
favour of this act of policy and justice, all the energies
of the Liberal p irty should now be united towards its
accomplishment."
Mr. DILLWYN rose to second the resolution, although
he did not entirely approve of it. The boo. gentleman
' was about to explain his objections when it was inti-
mated that the motion had better be a-opted as a step,
and then be could make any observations he. pleased.
This course was adopted and the resolution was passed.
unanimously.
Mr. M. MILNES rose to propose that Mr. Diliwyn be
requested to postp ,ne the motion he has upon the paper
of the house until Lord J. Russell's motion had been
disposed of. He thought it of great importance that
the utmost unanimity ought to prevail on the subject.
Mr. W. EVANS seconded the resolution. He thought
it would be advisable to see the effect of Lord John
Russell's before they brought forward Mr. Dillwyn's
motion.
Sir J. Getartem said he came to that meeting with
great Pleasure. He thought it would be useless to detain
the meeting with his views on the subject 'of Jewish
disabilities, as they all well knew how he had voted on
the question of civil and religious liberty during the
great number of years he had bad a seat in the House
of Commons. He thought that at present they occupied
the vantage ground, and he did not believe that any bill
for the removal ofJe wish disabilities was ever sent up to
the House of Lords in a form so advantageous as the last
bill. When the Premier, who said he never took
the present oath without a blush, was in favour of the
proposed alteration, he thought it was a subject
of great gratification. He (Sir J. Graham) had ieva-
riably voted in four Parliaments in favour of b its for the
removal of the Jewish disabilities. In order to please
the House of Lords, the bills bad been framed in every
variety of shape ; but the measures bad alt met with
most unbending opposition. In the late division in the
House of Lords he thought it was much io their favour
that the bill bad been supported by seven bishops
and the metropolitan one (the Bishop of Li,ndot,)
In the House of Commons there was also matters for
congratulation. Sir J. Pakingion had voted for the
bill—(hear, hear)—and he did not far a moment believe
a single member present would undervalue all the cir-
cumstances, which were of great importance, and sure
signs of ultimate success. (Cheer-.) He (lid nut think '
it would be judicious to postpone the consideration of
the subject till next session. (Hear, hear ) Something
ought and must be done during the- present. If they
carried the resolution of Mr. D llwyn, and the Jew took
his seat without further lsgeletion, he would iminedi
ately become subject to penalties. This was not a new
view of the case. Mr. Salmons tried the point in the
Court of Exchequer, and it was decided against him.
Now, suppose the resolution to be carried, and the
Baron took his seat, he immeciaeely became
subject to all the penalties, which he had no
doubt would be enforced. What would he the come-
pence of a collisioriwith.the House of Lords ? There
would be a conflict _ on privi'ecles which ought to be

avoided altogether. There had been such conflicts be-
fore, and the "House of Commons, when they had right
and justice on their side, had triumphed. Such was the
case at present; yet he thought, if the obj.ct c•,uld be at•
taioed without such a proceeding it woJI,I be the wisest
course. He did not know then anything of the intention
of Lord John Russell, but he thought it would be a
good opportunity to make another attempt to induce the
House of Lords to pass this measure. He did hot •
think their lordships would disregard the opinion of
this meeting.

Mr. DILLWYN said ho should bow to the decision of
the meeting with respect to the resolution he bad in
the books of the House of Commons. If it was de-
eded to postpone it, he felt bound to inform
the meeting that he shoull most strenuously oppose
the bill of Lord John Russell. He was not disposed to
go to the House of Lords—to eat humble pie—to ask
them to grant that as a boon which they had a right to
demand. (Cheers.)

Mr. INGRA3I begged to ask Baron Rothschild a ques-
tion. It wa.,, whether he would take his seat in the
House of Com,nons if they passed a resolution (Rear.)
The question was not answered.
Mr. ROEBUCK said the sum and 5uh.t,,,00 of Lord J.
Rus,ell's bill was that each house should regulate its
own oaths. If they pa,sed that hid it. would be abso-
lutely saying that the House. of Commons could not sup 4
port its own oriviledes. (Hear, hear.) He maintained
that it the House of Lords could e • elude Lord Wen-ley-
dale, the House of Commons could admit Ihron Roths-
child.
The men who had laughed to scorn the efforts
that had already been made on this subject would do so '
again. Ho for one would not submit to be trampled
upon. (llPar, hear.)
Sir J. GRAHAM said he thought that it was a duty the
liberal party owed to Lord J. Russell in consideration of
what he ha l done for civil and religious liberty to wait
and see what. his bill was before they rejected it.
Mr. ROEBUCK con•ended that they were only carrying
out the law by proceeding to carry their object by a
1 re,olution.

Vicourit EBRINGTON said the Lords, by excluding
Lord Wensleydale by resolution, bal taught them, the
House of Ginamons, how to admit Baron Rothschild.
He wet= in favour of proceeding by way of resolution--
not by a bill.

The resolution of Mr. M. Milnes was put to the meet-
ing and carried.

Mr. ROEBUCK said a resolution had been put into hie
hand to move somewhat against the spirit of his obser-
vations. It was to the effect that, on the late diiision
in the House of Lords, alt the members of the Cabinet
not having supported the Oaths 8.11, is calculated to .
cause deep pain and disappointment to the
Liberal party, and that Lord Palmerston be respectfully
and earnestly solicitted to lend the whole weight of
his Government in support of Lord 3. Russell's proposed
~
bell, and, in the event of its rejection, that the Govern
ment should aid the attempt to seat Baron Rothschild
by a ress.lution of the house.
Mr. BYNG seconded the resolution.
Mr. ROEBUCK said he bad just heard from a whip in •
the House of Lords that he never could get the Liberal
peers up. Thirty Conservatives were always in attend-
ance, and each had two proxies in his pocket. Any
bill that was sent up to. them for the removal of Jewish
Disabilities would be sure to be lost by a large majority.
The CHAIRMAN then put the resolution.
Sir J. GRAHAM said he approved of the two first sec- •
tions of the resolution, but the last he objected to.
He thought they ought n,,t to call upon Lord Pal.
merston to support a measure he had not yet heard.
Mr. ROEBUCK said he objected to any alteration.
They had pa-Bed one resolution for unanimity's sake,
and he trusted they would pass that. What was sauce,
for the goose was sauce for the gander.
A suggestion was then made that the resolution should'
end at the words " Liberal party." Tbis was agreed tot
and the resolution was carried unanimously.
Mr. GILPIN then moved that a committee be appointed:
to wait upon Lord Palineston, and report
to him tile.
resolution of the meeting ; and that an adjournment
should take place until Tuesday next, at. three o'clock?...
at which his lordship's reply could be announced.
Mr. M'CANN moved that the whole of the meetiog,
wait on Lord Palmerston—not a committee.
This was agreed to ; and after a vote of thanks to the
chairman the proceedings terminated. •
