present generation, in consequence OF such repre-
senation. and regard to the traditions of our an
cestors, believe it. to have been, it has very much
changed its character lately. The tender green
leaves, which the mild air and the gentle show
ers of April had tempted to unfold, and the
delicate blossoms Of the fruit trees, and the How
ers in the garden, have been nipped and
blighted by the cold northeasterly winds OF
this last fortnight
The week has very nearly passed, and is yet unmark
ed by any thing Of Importance. The Committee of the
House Of Commons which appointed examine into
precedents relative the oahs administered TO its
bers ON their admission have reported if not in words
in fact that the privilege in the form Of swearing available
in ordinary cases, is also available in Of admission to
Parliament and that Jews not only not ercluded but
are actuay by name included among the parties to whom
this privilege has been granted" There does not appear
therefore, any why Jew duly elected the law now
stands should not take his seat in the House. The
report says cit has been repeatedly enacted that whenever
any Of his Maesys subjects protesting the Jewish religion
shall present himself take the oath of abuaton in pur-
suaucs Of the reced the words upon the true faith oa
Christian shall be omitted of the said OATH" We know
not how far theological casusly High Church intolerance
may tter away the plain meaning Of these
words, bu. to u.s. and we believe to majority of the people
of England there does appear single objection to

The great event in FRANCE since our last is the
election of representative in the National Assem-
bly, for the city Of PARIS; in which the Socialists
and Red Republicans have been again successful,
returning their candidate, EUGENE SUE. by ma
jority of more than 5000 votes, over M. LEcLERc,
the candidate of the Moderate party the exact
votes being l2S,OO7 and ll9,420 respectively.
Upwards of 10000 electors abstained from voting,
and fourfths of the soldiers who voted gave their
support to SUE. The immediate effects OF this
election will be shown by the fact that, before the
result was known or seriously anticipated the price
of the 5 per cents at the Bourse was S9f. 45c,
and the 3 per cents $3.50; after the certainty of
Sues return they fell to S6f 95c. and 54f. lOc.
Shares Of the Bank of France fell from 2,105f to
2,070f The depostes received at the Savings
Bank on Sunday and Monday amounted to 361 ,35lf;
those withdrawn to 19I,742f. This contest has
been most undoubtedly decided against the earnest hope Of

SPAIN has been the scene OF a curious, but not
very edifying incident, the exact locality of which
was the Royal Palace at MADRID! It appears
that the King had been for several days press
ing his royal consort in the most earnest manner
to free herself from, as he termed it, the savish
subjection" in which she was kept by her Minis
ers. The Queen resisted, and for General NAnvAEz
