HOUSE OF LORDS.—MONDAY,
The second reading of the Jewish Disabilities Bill was

moved by

,
The LORD CHANCELLO

who said that

the measure was to relieve the Jews from their municipal
and corporate disabilities. The noble and learned lord
alluded to the election of Mr. Salomons as an alderman
of the city of London, and argu, d upon the impolicy of

a law which could exclude a gentleman of such respecta-
bility from the highest municipal honours which could be
bestowed upon him by his fellow citizens, thus diminish-
ing the incentives to goad conduct. He proposed to
effect his object by omitting from the declaration requisite

to be signed by a Jew on taking office, the words " on the
true faith of a Christian." On every account it was de-
sirable that those words should be omitted, for if it was
thought right to exclude the Jews from such offices, they
should do so by direct means and not by a side wind,

which could be made to apply, or not to apply, according
to the wishes of the corporation for introduction to which
the Jew was a candidate. There were Jaws amongst the
aldermen of Birmingham, of Portsmouth, and of South-
ampton, avid there might be amongst the aldermen of
London also, if the corporation chose it, for by varying
the time at which the declaration was to be made, they
might allow the party to come under the oneraticra of the
Annual Indemnity Act, and thus practically admit those
whom the law refased to recognise in such a capacity. It
was to get rid of su h-an anomaly that he introduced the
bill-upon the table, which would place all the'corporations
in the kingdom in this respect upon the same level.
These words had been omitted in the case of the Quakers,
'the Moravians, the Independents, and the Separatists;
and upon the same principle, he proposed the omission in
'favour of the Jews. lie did not bring it forward as a
great measure of public policy, which would admit of
difficulty and doubt; but he was content to rest it on the
limited ground of putting an end to a useless and absurd
anomaly. __ _ .

The Bishop of LONDON said he should not oppose the
bill, but be wished to be understood that he did not
tberefore.pledge himself not to oppose a more extended
measure for admitting the Jews into parliament.

Lord CIeMPBELI:Was delighted that this measure
was received with unanimity by their lordships—a mea-
sure which he hailed as a large instalment of what the
Jews bad a right, as British subjects, to expect.
The Bishop of LONDON objectedto the word unanimity.
It was not to be supposed that he was in favour of the bill
because he declined to oppose it.
