FOREIGN NEWS.

There is little news from TIE Old World calcula.
ted to interest our readers We give the subjoined
items for what they are worth:
"The speciality in the Parliamentary business
Of the week was the attempt to remove the jew ish
disability clause from the Parliamentary oath. In
the House of Commons, on Monday, Sir F. The
siger announced the change which he would pro-
pose in committee in the new oath, so as to e1-
clude the Jews from Parliament-"and I make
this PROMISE remuneration, abjuration and decla-
ration, heartily, willingly, truly, and upon the
true faith of Christian" The next week the
House was to 60 into committee on the bill, and
the strength of parties in the new House of Com
mons would be tested. The Roman Catohlic mem
bers of both Houses, and several of the more in.
fuential members of that community, have been
waiting upon Lord Palmerston with a view to in-
duce him to abolish the oath which they are COM
PEELED to take and frame one which could be taken
bythem in common with all other members, but
lie gave them little hopes of success. Some of
them threatened, in order to embarass the Gov
ernment, and induce concession, to vote against
the blias it stands for the admission of the Jews.

leaves her own apartments to 60 to the church at
tached to the palace. The prospects of the Italian
silk growers are represented to be unfavorable
and the price of Silks enormously high through
out the whole of the Austro.Itaian districts.
:. The publication of the text Of the treaty Of
peace between Her Majesty and the Shah Of Per-
sia has caused some amusement, as the tenth ar
tcle provides for number of apologies to which
the Shah and his Minister must submit, in conse-
auence ofa very offensive letter which the Shah
had written to his Minister, respecting the British
Ambassador, Mr.. Murray. The penance thus ex-
acted from the Persian Monarch and his adviser
is very humiliating, and make Mr.. Murray master
of the situation. The gentleman is certainly hap
py i'll representing power which can exact such
obedience from barbarian kings, albeit the cost in
blood and treasure has been very serious
