witness the arrival of Baron Rothschild. Toe Baron
arrived shortly before twelve o'clock, and met with a
similar reception to that which had greeted him on
Friday.

Twelve o'ceek, when there was rather a full attendance of
blereers, the Strangers' and Speaker's gallery was

after our niise the Rar•on Rothschild, Mr. Alder-
man Salomons, Mr. Page Wood, and Mr. J. Abel Smith
in earnest conversation with the Chancellor of the Ex-

Ou the SPEAKER taking the chair, the private busi-

BARON ROTHSCHILD—ADJOURNED DEBATE.
On the order of the day being read for the resump-
tion of the adjourned debate,
Mr. lIENLEY said he• wished to ask the Speaker
whether, in order to give a locus stanch for the debate
which was about to be raised by the amendment which
had been pot on the paper by the Hon. _Members tor
Montrose and Middlesex, it was not advisable that some
further questions should be put to Baron Rothschild,
one of tne Hon. Members for the city of London.
This, he thought, would be necestary, because they
would not otherwise be enabled to have entered on.the
records of the House that form of oath which he thought
binding on his conscience, and the reasons wh;ch iv- !
dueed him to consider he ought to take it.—(Hear.)
What he wished to know, therefore, was, whether be
could make a motion for this purpose before the debate
eau? on?

The SPEAKER said when the clerk was about to
administer the oaths to Baron Rothschild he requested
to be sworn on the Old Testament, and of coarse, as-
that was a novel proceeding, he could not be allowed to
take an oath in that tanner without the sanction of the
Huse. He (the Speaker) accordingly directed that the
lion. iiember should withdraw, and then the debate
engtsll. If ;he House decided Cult any further question
should be pat to the Hon.. Member he would, of course,
be recalled; but accoroing to the regular order of pro-
ceeding the amendment would have to be put first.
Mr. PAGE WOOD said he appreheneed the Eon.
ICVaer donld be asked whether be considered an oath
taken on the 011 Testament was binding on his con-
science?
