faith of a Christian.' as not binding on my conscience;" and
then he kissed the Bible.
The SPEAKER directed the hon. member to withdraw.
Mr. HUME, amidst great excitement, said that Baron Roths-

The SPEAKER said the hon. member had not taken the whole
of the oaths as prescribed by law, and he had, therefore, ordered

tived without a division, on the understanding that the Attor-

Thursday.
PARLIAMENTARY VOTERS (IRELAND) BILL.—LORDS'
AMENDMENTS.—Lord J. RUSSELL proposed a £l2 franchise.
his lordship alluded to the Mayo election as a proof of the
necessity for extending the franchise. The whole number of
electors brought to the poll on that occasion was 250. He
would agree to the omission of the second clause, but proposed
to dissent from the omission of clauses 18, 19. and 21, and lie
also objected to the Lord's amendment requiring the elector
to claim the franchise before being placed on the registry.
After a debate on a division, the ...t•l2 franchise was carried
by a majority of 213 to 91.

pulsory registration clauses be restored to the bill, which was
carried in the affirmative by a majority of 179 to 109.

HOUSE OF COMMONS.--WEDNESDAY.
Mr. ALCOCIE moved that the House go into committee on
the Sunday trading Bill.
Mr. ANSTEY moved as an amendment that the honse resolve
itself into committee on the bill this day three months.
Sir Gsn. GREY said the bill would effect considerable gond,
and he hoped the house would deal fairly with the measure.
Mr. Htr ME held it to be imp'ssible to make the IN ople re-
ligious by acts of Parliament, and he, therefore, objected to
the bill as one coercive of people's consciences.
Mr. SPOONER said the bill was intended to protect the fair
against the unfair trader, and would effect much good.
Mr. T. BUNCOMBE said the house had done mischief enough
in the case of the post-office, without seeking to effect still
further mischief by passing this bill.

against it. 71; Majority against adjournment, 37.
After some further discussion Mr. Anstey withdrew his
amendment, and the hit it. elf was afterwards withdrawn.
On the motion for the second reading of the Landlord and
Tenants (Ireland) Bill, Mr. REYNOLDS condemned the bill as
an audacious, insulting, tyrannical and Algerine measure for
Oppressing the tenantry of Ireland.
Mr. G. HAMILTON was willing, if the house would allow the
bill to go into committee, to be content with taking only those
• portions of it which would prevent tenants from cutting their
crops on Sunday with the fraudulent intention of defrauding
the landlord of his rent.
Mr. ANSTEY could not accept the compromise, and after
some further discussion the debate was adjourned.
On the order of the day for taking the Lords' amendment to
the County Courts Extension Bill into consideration, Mr.
FITZKOY said he would agree to the amendments, though he
highly disapproved of some of them, but rather than risk the
bill at that late period of th" session he would suffer it to pass.
The amendments were then agreed to.

HOUSE OF COMMONS.—TnurtsnAy.
The Lords' amendments to the Australian Colonies' Govern-
ment Bill were agreed to.
In reply to a question from Mg. HUME.
Lord PALMERSTON said that the amount of the British
Claims against Tuscany was about el5OO, and they arose out
of the ransacking of the houses of British subjects in Leghorn
by Austrian troops in the pay of the Tuscan government, al-
though those houses were marked on the outside as the resi-
dence of British subjects.
On going into committee on the Duke of Cambridge's An-
muitv Bill, Mr. HUME moved that the annuity be fixed at
4'10,000, instead of al2,ooo.—This gave rise to a long debate,
but Lord J. RUSSELL positively refused to make any conces-
sion. and the original and larger sum was carried by a majority
of 105 to 76.

The ATTORNEY-GENERAL then gave notice that on Monday
le would move the two following resolutions :
" That the Baron Lionel Nathan de Rothschild is not enti-
tled to vote in this house, or to sit in this house daring any
debate, until he shall take the oath of abjuration in the torm
appointed y law.
That this house will, at the earliest opportunity in the next
session of parliament, take into its serious consideration the
form of the oath of abjuration with a view to relieve her Ma-
jesty's subjects professing the Jewish religion."
