The four days since the sailing of the last mail
steamer, have been rich in interesting matter. In
England, the Jew member for Green wich, Alder
man Solomons, has been the cause of scene in the
House Of Commons; whilst in France, the debate
on the revision of the constitution has offered the
spectacle, almost, Of blows in the Legislative AS
sembly.
On Friday evening, 1t having 60. ABROAD tha.
Mr.. Solomons was resolved to take his seat, an un
usual number of members were present. Mr.. Solo
mons advanced to the table, and took the Grst two
oatbs in the form prescribed; but on coming to th,
conclusion of the oath of abjuration he omitted the
words con the true faith Of Christian" and say
ing $50 holp me God," kissed the Old Testament.
The Clerk announced that Mr.. Solomsns had not
taken the oath in due form, and the Speaker Or
dered him TO withdraw. Mr.. Solomons retroated TO
the bar, but actually remained within the House.
Lout cries were now raised by the opposition, when
Sir VIM. Molesworth conducted Mr.. Solomons out
side the bar. legal discussion ensued. Sir +.
Ihesiger stated that, in precisely similar case,
Chat Of Rothschild,) the House had formally de-
cided that person not taking the whole oath was
incapable Of sitting. On that occasion he hal
moved new writ, on the ground that the seat Of q
person who refused to take the oaths, was void.
After some further discussion, the question was ad
journed to Monday (last nightl
Sir b. Hall commenced by asking If the govern
mons, for the acts he had done on Friday night.
Lord John Russell replied that the govern ment re-
served to itself the right Of acting ~ 1t might think
proper, but that he did not consider that prose-
cution ought, at present. to be ordered by govern
ment.
1.-The object, Of Mr.. Solomons is to provoke pro-
secution, and bring the question to q legal sue ]
Sir B. Hall then said that the only course open
for Mr.. Solomons was to take his scat in the
House.
Mr.. Solomons, who was in the gallery, imme-
dately came down and took his seat in front Of the
liberal benches, amidst cheers aud Kisses. Ihe
Speaker called upon him to Withdraw, but MIR:
Solomons refused TO move. Mr.. Anstey argued
that Mr.. Sole mons had sworn "qute enough, and
too much" and fully entitled to take his seat.
ensued; the House finally decided on the motion.
"that Mr.. Alderman Solomons do withdraw" For
the motion, 81; against II, Sl-majority, 80. The
Speaker then called on Mr.. Solomons to withdraw,
and that gentleman Perssting in refusing, he or
dered the Sergeant tat-Arms to remove him. The
member for Greenwich then rose and left, bis OBJ
ject having been attained, namely-force had been
used to prevent him taking bis seat,
All this is very absurd and ridiculous Many OF
your readers will be forcibly reminded Of Wanda,
Cedrics clown, holding fitch Of bacon to the nose
of isaac, the Jew, at the tournament at Ashby. de-
la Zouchs, soprettily dc'cribedby SIR Walter Scott
in " IvanhUe."
In the House Of Lords, last night the second
reading OF the Ecclesiastical Titles Assumption
bill was brought forward by the Marquis Of Lans
dowpe. The debate has been adjourned

annals even Of French parliamentary discussions

visable or not, to revise the existing French con

members voted for the revision, 27S against II; but
as, according to the terms Of the constitution tself
three fourths Of the number voting are required u

will, at the risk Of repetition, restste briefly th
object Of the desired revision, and the consequences
Of the vote. The question Of revision canaot b

months have expired and, unless the constitution
shall be revised, Louis Napoleon cannot come Tor

ing his cath.
