FROM OUR LONDON CORRESPONDENT.

.-----.40,..---

MONDAY MORNING.
LORD JOHN RUSSELL appears quite determined that he
shall be not only the leader but the dictator of the House
of Commons. Anything more unpardonable than the
piece of impertinence which he has just perpetrated in his
capacity of Minister of the Crown, I believe is not re-
corded in the annals even of Whig placemanship. It
seems that on Friday night, when Mr. SPOONER secured
the defeat of the vote for the repairs of Alaynocth College,
five members of Parliament, holding subordinate posi-
tions in the Coalition-government, were absent from the
House of Commons. Lord Jolts conceives that on every
occasion those gentlemen should be ripe and ready for all
divisions in which Ministers are interested, and, carrying
out that view, he addressed an autograph letter to each
of the delinquents, informing them that he was greatly
displeased at their gross dereliction of duty ; that as it

was their first offence he felt disposed to act leniently ;
but that in the event of any similar occurrence, the
Cabinet would expect an immediate resignation of the
offices they now bold, and would be prepared to enforce
that expectation. One of the recipients of Lord JOHN'S
missive read the letter yesterday in the Reform Club,
and I need hardly say that it has formed the theme of in-
dignant conversation in all our political circles.
The House of Commons met, yon will perceive, on Thurs-
day ; the house at no time was well attended, though
thousands upon thousands of pounds sterling were voted
including a good round sum for certain chippings—
noticed in another paragraph—at the Royal Palaces. The
loyal and monarchical people of England,—loyal and
monarchical by nature,—don't grudge a penny of the
money, were it but laid out discreetly ; but the dispensers
of the votes for these and similar purposes, our MOLES-
WORTHS and others, were they to set such wits as they
have at work to " spoil the broth," and make public
edifices foolish, if not monstrous, could not have suc-
ceeded better. There were two or three points in the
sitting of Thursday worth describing. Prior to the open-
ing of the house, however, let me notice a "little go"
held in the PAYMASTER-GENERAL'S office, Whitehall,
Lord Jon RUSSELL being the chief figure. Half-a-
dozen city people waited on his lordship to ascertain if the
Government were to take any step this session to admit
Jewish representatives into the House of Commons.
Mr. Dieeox, a partner in the house of TODD, MonuisoN,
and Co., large linen and mercery traders, complained that
the city of London had been disappointed by the House
of Lords seven times—an ominous number—as regarded
the admission of the Jews. Lord JOHN RUSSELL rather
surprised more than one of his visitors by saying that he
had not anticipated the Lords would have thrown out the
bill ; he feared that there was little hope of any other bill
on the subject being carried this session. Now, Lord
JOHN, you must be growing obtuse in your old days ; the
rejection of the Jew Bill by the Lords did not disappoint
even the supporters of the measure in your own House of
Commons, nor out of it. Weeks before the bill was car-
ried to the Lords, the stereotyped remark, in every one's
mouth, was, that the Upper House would have none of
it. Therefore, why you were disappointed in your expec-
tation is somewhat marvellous. Again, following the now
fashionable style of ennui, the noble lord said, when
reference was made to Lord LYNDHURST'S little bill
touching certain apparently trifling alterations in the oath
of abjuration,—which, if carried, will open the doors for
the Jews,—Lord JOHN said it was the first time he had
heard of the measure. Why, all London and three parts
of the United Kingdom, reading newspapers, and in no
way connected with the Government, not only had heard
of the measure, but had canvassed its provisions. Lord
Jotter, I had forgotten, was quietly enjoying the breezes
under the treeses at Richmond, and might have skipped
the bill in question. One word about it and Lord LYND-
HURST being its father. People not in the secret ask why
Lord LYNDHURST should step,—if not out of his way,—
take the trouble, by a side wind, to blow open a door for
our Jewish friends. His lordship is married to the
daughter of Mr. GOLDSMID, once a famous Jew in Paris,
a clever man not only in finance, but as a liiterateur.
The noble and learned lord was in the French capital
some years ago, and, if I recollect aright, was taken ill ;
he was staying at Mr. GOLDSMID'S hotel ; the daughter
of the Jewish host showed the noble and learned baron
great attention—was " tender and kind"—recovery and
marriage followed l There is no family, but they live
happily Lady LYNDIWRST is younger than her lord by
many years. Thus I have endeavoured to account for
Lord LYNDHURST'S kindness to his Jewish relatives.
