Merry's case, and that the committee have power to send
for persons, papers, and recordi. •
Sir G. GREY said that, assuming the facts to be
true, Mr. Merry bad not adopted the proper course.

days after the lodgment of the petition the sitting mem-
ber should go before the examiner of petitions, who at
the expiration of that time would give five days' notice
to the parties to attend before him and enter into the
case. In, teal of that, Mr. Merry bad delved moving

mittee were to be sworn. He thought the committee

teat in the House of Coma:on s—(Hear, hear) ELECTION CO
and the princip!e which they all had at heart would be
finally accomplished. The last division on the re-
jecdon of the 0 iths had occasioned much disap-
pointment, because it not contain the names of all
the members of the Gave) ronent, and it had been
said that Lord Palmerston was not sioceve in
his endavours to remove the Jewish disabilities, but he
t certain such was not the ceee ;he felt confident that
the noble lerl 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 f. )IIoWP :—" That the time has arrived when the long
vexed question of the removal of the Jewish disabiFties
should be finally settled, and considering the repeated
opinion of the House of Commons and of the country in
favour of ibis act of policy and justice, all the energies
f the Li!-;eral p trty should now be united towards its
accomplishment."
Mr. DILLWYN rose to second the resolution, although
he did not entirely approve of it. The hon. gentleman
was abut to explain his objections when it was inti-
mated that the motion had better be adopted as a seep,
and then he "ould make any observations he pleased.
This course was adopted and the resolution was passed
unanimously.
Mr. M. MILNES rose to propose that Mr. Dillwyn 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 Jelin
Russell's before they brought forward Mr. Dillwyn's
motion.
Sir J. GRAHAM Paid he came to that meeting with
great pleasure. Ile 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 questioe of civil and religious liberty during the
great number of years he bad had 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 of Jewish disabilities was ever sent up to
the House of Lords in a form so advantageous as the last
bid. 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) bad inva-
riably voted in four Parliaments in favour of balls for the
removal of the Jewish disabilities. In order to please
the House of Lords, the hills had been framed in every
variety of shape ; but the measures had all met with
most unbending opposition. In the late division in the
House of Lords he thought it was much in their favour
that the bill bad bean supported by seven bishops
and the metropolitan one (the Bishop of London).
In the House of Commons there was also matters for
c ne,,ratulation. Sir J. Pakingion had voted for the
bill—(hear, heat)—and he did not for a moment believe
a single member present would undervalue all the cir-
cumstances, which were of great importance, and sure
signs of ultimate success. (Cheere.) He did not 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. Ddlwvn, and the Jew took
his seat without further 1-gi Mien, he would immedi-
ately become euhject to penalties. This was not a new
view of the case. Mr. Salm:eons tried the point hi the
Court of Exchequer, and it was decided against him.
Now, suppose the resolution to be carried, and the
f3ar m took his seat, he immediately became
subject to all the penalties, which he bad no
doubt would be enforced. What would be the conse-
quence of a cellisior.7with;the House of Lords ? There
would be a conflict on privileges which ought to be
avoided altogether. There had been such conflicts be-
fore, and the HOMO of Commons, when they had right
and justice on their side, had triumphed. Such was the
case at present; yet he thought if the object could be at-
tained without such a proceeding it weal.' be the wisest
course. He did not know then anything of the intention
of Lord John Russell, but -he thought it would be a
goof oppert unity to make another attempt to induce the
House of Lords to pass this measure. Ho did not
think their lordships would disregard the opinion of
this meeting..
Mr. DILLWYN said he should bow to the decision of
the meeting with respect to the resolution he had in
the books of the House of Commons. If it was de-
ded to postpone it, he felt bound to inform
the meeting that he should most strenuously oppose
tho bill of Lord John Russell. He was not disposed to
go to the Howe of Lords—to eat humble pie—to ask
them to grant that as a boon which they had a right to
demand. (Cheers.)
Mr. INGRAIf begged to ask Baron Rothschild a ques-
tion. It was, whether he would take his seat in the
House of Commons if they parsed a resolution ? (Hear.)
The question was not answered.
Mr. ROEBUCK said the sum and substance of Lord J.
Russell's bill was that each house should regulate its
own oaths. If they p iesed that bid it would be abso-
lutely saying that the House of Commons csuld not sup-
port i's own privileges. (Hear, hear.) Ile maintained
that it the House of Lords could exclude Lord Wensley-
dale, the House of Commons could admit Baron Rothe-
child. The men who had laughed to scorn the efforts
that had already been made on this subject would do to
again. Ho for one would not submit to be trampled
upon. (Hear, 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 had done for civil and religious liberty to wait
and see what his bill was before they rejected it.
Mr. ROEBUCK contended that they were only carrying
out the law by proceeding to carry their object by a
resolution.
Viscount EBBINGTON said the Lords, by excluding
Lord Wensleydale by resclution, had taught them, the
House of Commons, how to admit Baron Rothschild.
He was 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 his
hand to move somewhat against the spirit of his obser-
vations. It was to the effect that, on the late division
in the House of Lords, all the members of the Cabinet
not having supported the Oaths B 11, is calculated to
cause deep pain and disappointment to the
Liberal party, and that Lord Palmerston be respectfully
and earnestly solicited to lend the whole weight of
his Government in support of Lord J. Russell's proposed
bad, and, in the event of its rejection, that the Govern-
ment should aid the attempt to seat Baron Rothschild
by a rest lotion of the house.
Mr. BYNG seconded the resolution.
Mr. ROEBUCK said be hal just heard from a whip in
the House of Lords that he never could get the Liberal
peers up. Thirty Conservatives were al ways in attend-
aace, 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 CHvIRMAN 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 not to call upon Lord Pal-
merston to support a measure he had not yet heard.
Mr. ROEBUCK said he objected to any alteration.
They bad passed ono resolution far unanimity's sake,
and be trusted they would pass that. What was sauce
for the goose was sauce for the gander.
A smNestion was then made twat the resolution should
end at the words " Liberal party." This was agreed to,
and the resolution was carried unanimously.
Mr. GILPIN then moved that a committee be appointed
to watt upon Lord Pal,ne,ton, and report to him the
resolution of the meet;ne ; 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 meeting
wait on Lord Palmerston—net a committee.
This was agreed to ; and after a vote of thanks to the
chairman the proceedings terminated.

LONDON AND NORTH WESTERN RAILWAY.—An
adjourned special general meeting of the proprietors of •
this company took place yesterday, at the Easton-square
station, for the purpose of considering a bill now before
Parliament, authorising the construction of a railway

A NEW MODE OF PRESERVING CORTsES.—MM.

N otialicr and Pf 4vmt, Farts, have obtained a patent
. thi-i country for the following singular mode ef pre-
serving oorpscs :—They first stop allthe apertures, such
an the mouth, n,,strils, tto., with modeller's wax, then
ilaC3 the c,rpse in a suitable attitude, and spread over
the skin a layer of metallic salt, by preference pulverised
nitrato of silver, which is very easily applied. Tnis salt
penetrates into the pores of the skin, and when a suffi-
cient quantity of it has been applied to the body by
means of a brush, the body is put into a vesstl
of
sulphate of copper, and and a galvanic current being
established the whole surface becomes covered with a
Iclepo,it of cooper, thus producing a untalio mummery,—
