THE APOLLO SHIRT.

CAUSE.

It is generally admitted that amongst the
various articles of clothing, there is nothing
so difficult to procure as a perfect fit in Shirts ;
in fact it is impossible, according to the pre-
sent mode of the shape and manufacture, that
it should be otherwise; every movement of
the body of the Shirt affects the position and
cleanliness of the breast, even in the mere
process of putting it on, as the body of the
v,omintin Shirt Is so intimately connected with
she breast that the action cracks the starch,
and lays the first foundation of creases and

words which had been hitherto considered so important, as
showing the obligation on which they at least professed to
act ; and, secondly, the destruction of that uniformity of
address to the Almightywhich had been so long sanctioned.
His noble friend had referred to the smallnumberof the Jews
in England, and their inability to enforce the demands
which they professed to make. Now, the• number of
Jews had nothing to do with his (Sir R. Inglis's) refusal
to make the concession now required. The question wr
whether in _ a matter of pure

x pediency it was worth
while to make concessions to 30,000 or 40,000 persons,
with the certainty of exciting the displeasure of many
milliotas ? Two years ago he ventured to describe a bill
as "A Bill to enable David Solomons, Esq., to become
an Alderman of the City of London." The bill now in-
tended to be introduced might very appropriately be
termed " A Bill to enable Baron Lionel de Rothschild to
sit in Parliament." The number who would be gratified

by passing the measure would be small, whilst the, num-
ber disgusted with it would be very great. He admitted
that this would not be a direct dethronement of Chris-
but the question was, how much of the Chris.
prepared to abolish ?

His noble friend had said that every Englishman was en-
titled to every honour which his country afforded. Now
he denied the position, and asserted that constitutionally
no Englishman was entitled unless he possessed certain

qualifications. His noble friend had allnded very briefly
to the Jews being a separate nation. A learned Rabiai at
Cambridge, in the course of a dialogue which he published

some time ago, used these expressions :—" Brother, you
are mistaken greatly. You are no Englishman, though
born in England. You are no more than a foreigner.
You have no home in this land. or any other country.
Are you not a Jew ?" He would also refer his noble friend
to no less an authority than the speech of John Duke of
Bedford, delivered in parliament in the year 1753.
Speaking of the Jews, his grace said, " Their latest pos-
terity, while they continue Jews, will continue to be, and
will consider themselves as a people quite distinct and se-
parate from the ancient people of this island." Were
the Jews hereditary inhabitants of this land ? Were they
contemporary with the Saxon race, or with the Norman

or Scotch races . y contemporary with any
body who at any time came into England ? They came in

Licinde or Lahore there is no intelligence of importance.
there has been some heavy rain in Bombay, which has
cooled the atmosphere, and the cold season has set in. A
letter from Alexandria, dated 29th November. contains
the following gratifying and important intelligence :

" By the Mdoiuffer.a mail has been brought containing
commercial news of the first importance, from which it
would appear that, up to the date of sailing (the 12tl inst.),
every house in Bombay had withstood the effects of the

land, and there is every confidence that all would main-

support the tottering houses in England."

CALAMITOUS FIRE IN FRANCE.—The large manufac-
tory of M, Cumenge, of Salvages (Tarn), was burnt to
the ground on the night of the Gth instant. The premises
contained extensive paper works, a woollen thread factory,
and machinery for cork cutting, all of which were de-
stroyed. The loss is calculated at about 750,0001. For-
tunately, the property was insured.
The Morning Post contains a marvellous paragraph

about Spanish wealth, in which it was stated that the
Duke of Albuquerque died so wealthy that the weighing
of his gold a silver occupied two hours each day for six
weeks. Amongst other things, there were 1.400 dozen
of plates, 500 great dishes, 700 little ones, and everything
else in proportion. There were also 76 silver ladders to
set things on the cupboard, which which were ascended by
little steps, like the altars in a great hall.
A few nights ago. between twelve and one o'clock, the
conductor of an omnibus, on his way home, found a little

bout seven years old, leaning against a post, and

bitterly that he bad lost his mother. The conduc-
tor took the child with him to his own lodgings, and put
him to bed, promising to go with him in the morning in
search of his mother. At daybreak the conductor got up
with the purpose of carrying his benevolent intentions into
execution, but the boy had disappeared, taking with him

been committed.—Paris paper.

say the security, but the confidence which the public had
in the security of our Christian constitution—he called
upon them, in the name of their common Christian faith,
hereto pause and make no such change as that proposed.

After speeches in favour of the measure froM Mr. J.
Fox (Unitarian minister), Mr. W. E. Gladstone, Mr.
Romilly, and Mr. D'lsraeli • and against it, from Lord
Ashley, Mr. Banks, Mr. doulburn, Mr. Plumptre, and
Sir J. Ackland. the debate was adjourned.

HOUSE OF LORDS

FRIDAY

The Earl of AUCKLAND, in answer to Lord COLVILLE,
stated that the number of medals to naval officers who
had distinguished themselves in the war would far exceed
those comprehended by the order in council of June last,
in consequence of a recommendation from flag officers to
that effect, to which the government had acceded.

The Marquis of LANSDOWNE, in answer to the Marquis
of Londonderry, expressed his belief that the corres-
pondence which had been published between certain
bishops and Lord John Russell, with reference to the case
of Dr. Hampden, was authentic, and that a conge d'elire
had been forwarded to the Dean and Chapter of Hereford,
to proceed to the election, but there were certain forms
to be gone through with which he was unacquainted, and
therefore could not state the time at which the appoint-
ment would be completed.
The Bishop of ROCHESTER condemned the course taken
by the government with respect to Dr. Hampden's nomi-
nation, pointed out the legal means whereby his confir-
mation might be opposed, and concluded by stating, that,
as it had been held by lawyers that bishops were not com-
pelled to take part in the sacred ceremony of the confir-
mation of other bishops against their consciences, he
should abstain from assisting at that of Dr. Hampden.
The Crime and Outrage (Ireland) Bill was read a third
time and passed.
The Public Works (Ireland) Bill was read a third time;

the numbers being 5 in favour of the motion, and 4 against.

in desperation plunged into the lake—others in their wild
deliium rushed headlong into the flames. It was a har-

HOUSE OF COMMONS.-FRIDAY

A new writ was ordered for the borough of Rye, in the
room of Mr. Curteis, deceased.
Lord J. RUSSELL, in reply to Mr. Gladstone, said he
could not fix the period at which he should bring forward
the bill for the alteration and amendment of the naviga-
tion laws.

Sir G. GREY, in answer to Mr. J. S. Wortley, observed
that the subject of the appointment of a public prosecutor
in criminal cases was under the consideration of the go-

vernment

Mr. WAr.PoLE moved the consideration of the petition
of Sir W. Jones, member for Cheltenham, alleging that
the recognisances entered into by the petitioners against
his return were not in the form prescribed by law, and
praying that no further proceedings might be had thereon.
After some discussion, and on a division, the petition
was referred to the consideration of a select committee by
a majority of 11, the numbers being 135 to 124.
On the motion of Sir G. GREY the petition complain-
ing of undue influence on the part of the Earl Fitzhard-
inge at the late election for West Gloucestershire was re-
ferred to a committee of privileges, to be named on Mon-
day, consisting of a few of the principal members of the
house, all the knights of the shire, gentlemen of the long
robe, and such merchants as desired to attend.
The ATTORNEY-GENERAL, in reply to Mr. 11. Grattan,
said he had seen the letter of the Bishop of Exeter to
Lord John Russell, on the subject of Dr. Hampden's ap-
pointment, but had been prevented by the press of pro-
fessional business from reading it ; when, however, it was
brought before him, professionally or officially, he, together
with the Solicitor-General, would give it their aest attention.
Lord PALMERSTON, in answer to Mr. Bankes, stated
that he had received copies of two decrees issued at
Madrid on the 16th of November. The first related to
an alteration in the levying of the duty on woollen goods,
the tendency of which was in some degree to increase the
duty ; the second increased the duty upon goods comp osed
partly of cotton in all cases in which one-third of the
aggregate of the material was composed of cotton, and
in all cases the duty was to be levied according to the
material which predominated in the texture. An appli-
cation had been made for the postponement of these de-
crees, so that time might be given to those whose interests
were concerned to make their arrangements accordingly,
but as yet no reply had been received to that communica-
tion.

The adjourned debate on the removal of Jewish dis-
abilities was resumed by Mr. Law, followed by Mr. Hope,
Mr. Newdegate, Lord Drumlonrig, and Mr. H. Drum-
mond against the motion, the speakers in favour of the
same being Lord Arundel and Surrey, Lord Morpeth,
Sir H. Verney, Lord George Bentinck, and O'Gorman
Mahon.
Lord J. RUSSELL having replied, the house divided,
the numbers being 253 to 186 ; majority, 67.
The house then went into committee, when the reso-
lution on which to found the bill was ageed to.

in the boats, and the rest either perished in the flames, or
were drowned. One hundred and fifty of the passengers
were German immigrants." The steamer Talisman, from
Cincinnati, bound to St. Louis, and the steamer Tempest,

of November, at Devil's Island, by which the Talisman
was sunk, drowning over one hundred deck passengers.
No cabin passengers lost. The passengers and crew

LAW INTELLIGENCE.

VICE-CHANCELLOR'S COURT, FRIDAY

ATTORNEY-GENERAL V. GARDNER.---SAME V. SAME

These informations relate to a dispute between parties
interested in a fund which had been raised by subscrip-
tion in 1838, for the purpose of erecting a chapel and
school at Birkenhead, in connection with the Established
Church of Scotland. The first information prayed a de-
claration that certain land, which had been purchased
with the money, and the buildings which had been erected
thereon, might be conveyed and dealt with according to
the intention of the parties, expressed in certain deeds
executed in 1839 and 1844. The defendants impeached
these deeds under the Statutes of Mortmain, and denied
that there was any charitable trust to be administered by
the Court.—The arguments are not concluded.

Mr. Moore is to be the new Judge•of the Irish Queen's
Bench, and Mr. Monahan succeeds him as Attorney-Gen,
Mr. Hatchell will he Solicitor-General.

In the House of Lords on Monday, Lord Campbell ob-
served that it had been determined, over and over again,
that a minister of the Established Church of England, or
a minister of the Established Church of Scotland, was, if
he said anything from the pulpit detrimental to the cha-
racter of an individual, or anything that led to a breach of
the public peace, civilly and criminally liable for what he
said, just as much as if he spoke it from the market-cross,
or from a public platform.

CLERICAL INTELLIGENCE

CLERICAL CRITICISM.-At a meeting of clergymen in
the south, convened to obstruct Dr. Hampden's progress
to the bench of bishops, resolutions were proposed founded
on his " Bampton Lectures." A clergyman calmly asked,
" Have we all read them?" No answer. " Then I beg
to propose that we do read them." The meeting broke up.
The Bishop of Exeter says, in his letter, that if the
bishops had remonstrated against Dr. Hampden's appoint-
ment as bishop, there would have been a very extensive
defection from the church. The Church and State Ga-
zette asks, " Will the remonstrance prevent it ? I trow
not—it cannot—it ought not—and bishops' relatives and
chaplains will be among the number."

THE FREE CHURCH OF SCOTLAND AND LORD WARD.
—ln reply to the Rev. Mr. Shaw, Lord Ward says :—" As
long as the law of the land upholds the established church
of Scotland I shall countenance no other; nor will I do
anything for a body who'll I hold to be dissenters, stirrers
up of strife, and most unchristian in spirit. Do not sup-
pose that this is an opinion hastily formed. You reside in

gyman of the established church here to take care of my

lab Ours. There is none at present; and I prefer your
teaching to the knowledge that there is no pastor in the
zlen."

POLITICAL MISCELLANY

Mr.C. Buller has been re-elected, unopposed,forLiskeard.
Lord John Russell was last night to move an adjourn-
ment of the House of Commons until the 3rd Feb.
Lord Sandon is to be a member of the Ecclesiastical
Commission, in the room of Lord Stanley.
On Saturday, Captain Townshend, R.N., was elected

Lord Alfred Paeet vacates Lichfield in favour of Mr.
Macaulay.

Lord Shelburne, eldest son of the Marquis of Lans-
downe, is to be the new Lord of the Admiralty.
Mr. Cowan was re-elected for Edinburgh on Thursday,
without opposition.
The Hon. F. Villiers has been elected
Weymouth

member for

The election for Newcastle-under-Lyne took place on
Thursday, when Mr. Christy was re-elected. Thg num-
bers were for Mr. Christy 546, for Mr. Ross 367.
The Daily News of Monday states, that "communica-
tions have taken place during the last few weeks between
the government and persons engaged in the manufacture
of gas, relative to a proposed duty of ls. per 1000 cubic feet
of that article, which would produce more than two mil-
lions sterling annually to her Majesty's government.
NEW POOR-L A.W.—Lord Ebrington is to be appointed
to the office of Parliamentary Secretary to the new Poor-
law Commission, and Mr. Nicholls, the senior Commis-
sioner of the'Commission now about to be superseded, is
to be the permanent Secretary. The present Commission
will expire on the day after the Commission appointing
Mr. C. Buller the -President, is published in the Gazette.

STOCKPORT ELECTION.—The nominat.iQn took place
on Wednesday, when the conservative party brought for-
ward Mr. Marsland, and the liberals, Mr. Kershaw. Theelection took place on Thursday, and Mr. Marsland took
the lead, and maintained it until half-past twelve, when
his adversary gained ten in advance, and continued gra-
dually to improve his advantage until the close, when
he won the day by a majority of only 27 out of a large
constituency. The numbers polled were, Kershaw, 545,
and for Marsland, 518.
The Rev. Mr. Newman left Rome on the 10th instant
for England. He is bearer of the greatest papal docu-
ment which has reached our island since that read by
Cardinal Pole in the House of Lords under Queen Mary,
by which the Pope reconciled England to his see, took off
the ban, and authorised the secularisation of the church
lands. This bull, of which Mr. Newman is in charge,
sweeps away for ever the power of " Vicars Apostolic,"
and substitutes twelve bishoprics with an archbishop in
England.
FREE TRADE.—It is all very fine for the unthinking
portion of the community to be led away by the very
pleaing phantom free trade; but when we look at the
following statement, proved from close calculation, we
would ask the must shallow reasoner how the system can

be carried out with benefit to this country ? Out of every
pound sterling raised for taxes, twelve shillings go for
the interest on the national debt, being one-third more
than is expended on the army, navy, and civil list, includ-
ing the Queen, ministers, judges, &c. Can it be possible
then, with such a weight on the nation, to compete with
the comparatively untaxed foreigner ?

Lord Minto, it turns out, has gone to Rome for his own
pleasure, not as an ambassador in disguise to the Pope.
Sir Robert Inglis questioned Lord Palmerston in the
House of Commons, on Friday, whether it was true that
the Lord Privy Seal had signed a convention on the part
of the British Government with the Papal authorities,, for
the establishment of diplomatic relations between the two
states ; and the answer of the noble lord was explicit be-
yond cavil. He stated that the reports on the subject of
Lord Minto's visit to Rome, were entirely destitute of
all foundation whatever." His lordship added, that
doubts existed as to the legality of diplomatic intercourse
with Rome—" chiefly upon the construction of the word
` communion,' the law being that the crown is not allowed
to hold any communion with the court of Rome." It
was a question whether the word should be taken to mean
religious communion or diplomatic communion ; but so
long as the doubt exists, Lord Palmerston assures us the
government will make it a reason against any official re-
cognition of Rome.
SIR ROBERT THE PLIABLE AND SIR CHARLES THE
OBSTINATE.—Mr. Pattison paid a deserved and charac-
teristic compliment to Sir R. Peel on Wednesday, in the
debate upon the Chancellor of the Exchequer's commer-
cial distress committee. " If," said he, " I live to see
the right hon. gentleman, the member for Tamworth,
again at the head of the administration of affairs, I have
no doubt I shall see him the first to propose an alteration
in the Act of 1844. (Cheers and laughter.) I say so with
the profoundest respect for the right hon. gentleman. I
am grateful for what he has already done, and trust that
in this matter he will add to the other services he has

but he said he would do no such thing—others might
go if they chose, but he knew him better. He.knew that
his mind was made up, and that they might as well at-
tempt to kick down the Nelson column or the Duke of
York's pillar, as to move the resolution of the right hon.
gentleman." How finely contrasted are the two charac-
ters—both weathercocks—but the one in full play, veer-
ing with every puff of wind—the other fixed by the rust
of conceit and only right by chance. With respect to Sir
Charles Wood, indeed, nothing can exceed the superla-
tive complacency with which he bows to his own superior
judgment. He is at all times ready to say—and always
looks as if lie were going to say—" Doubt that the stars
are fire doubt that the sun doth move, doubt truth to be
a liar—'but never doubt that I am right."—John Bull.
[We have prophecied the same course, as that to be taken
by Sir Robert three months ago.—E. L. S.]

JULLIEN'S VISIT TO LIVERPOOL. This renowned
conductor and composer, in the course of his annual tour
musicale, purposes visiting Liverpool early in January.
He will be accompanied by the strength of his band.
Amongst those announced are Richardson, Bowman,
Cioffi, Sig. Piatti, Herr Koenig, Prospere, Collinet, Barret,
Angolis, &c., &c. A new descriptive quadrille, into
which is introduced several Swiss national airs, collected
by M. Jullien during his late visit to Switzerland, will be
produced here. In London it has taken immensely, and
is most highly spoken of by musical critics.
ROYAL AMPHITHEATRE. FRENCH EQUESTRIAN
COMPANY.—We are happy to observe that the attractive
character of this company's performances is winning more
and more the support of the Liverpool public. Notwith-
standing the unfavourable state of the weather, which has
prevented all but the most hardy and determined from
leaving the comfortable winter fireside, the increasing
attendance this weeklies been so marked that the mana-
ger has been compelled to enlarge the space at his disposal,
to accommodate his audiences, by taking away the parti-
tion at the back of the house, and throwing the whole of
the spacious arena open to the public. He proposes, also,
for the accommodation of those families, and others, who
object to appear abroad in the evenings, to give a series of
morning performances during the Christmas holidays,
which will, doubtless, tend to enliven this joyous period
t 9 some thousands of the young, who will shortly be re-
lieved from the routine of school, and restored to the
family circle. The performances during the past week
have been varied, by the introduction of several novelties,
amongst the most attractive of Nhich have been the
