REMOVAL OF JEWISH DISABILITIES.

The news received by ihe Canada, that Lord Lu-
cans bill, enabling either House OF Parliament to
dispense with tho words "on the true faith OF q
Christian" in the oath employed to swear in MEM
bers Of Parliament, has passed second reading in
the House Of Lords, leaves no further doubt that
Lord Derby'a Ministry have determined, of necessity
if not by choice, to follow out liberal policy.
Forces seem to have been mustered for thorough
trial Of strength on this question. Some 240 peers
voted, II paired, and the result majority of 46
in favor of the BILL This furnishes ths first great e1.
httion Of inherent strength yet manifested by the
Tory Ministry. So long as party conflicts we're con
fined to the lower House, government triumph ne
cessarily wore Questionable semblancs People
would question whether it was really an evidence of
increasing favor towards Ministers, only an in,
stance in which the radicals were employing them
for their own purpose.
But in the House of Lords only few eccentric
peers can at oil be- suspected of yielding qualified
support TO Minister'S for the sake Of their own radical
atfinities. Lord Derby has been thrown on bis own
resources and obliged to urge measure OF political
berality and religious liberation on the acceptance
of body Of men, whose partial independence OF po'
pular support together with all the prejudces OF
o4ste aud the fact of the necessity of an established
church to the permanence Of their order, would ma
turay incline them to an illiheral conservatism on
The question at issue
The manner in which the bill was framed, affords
evidence Of the necessity felt by its mover for all
possible caution aud sdroness. Taking the ground
that each House ought to be permitted TO judge, snd
to certain extent to fix the qualifications of it's own
members the bill goes further than to permit ell
ther House, in given case, TO dispense With the
words which now furnish the only legal obstacle TO
the admission of H Jew to Parliament. No doubt is
entertained that soon the bill shall receive the
Royal assent, Baron Rothschi will bs admitted as
meUber for the city oil London. And we msy pre-
dict, with equal certainty that generation, at least,
will pass away before the House of Lords will be
practically enabled 10 extend such tolerance to
piraut for peeruge The of the wss

resort cf appearing 10 oppose measure emnertly

ing iu to s support. at last, on the specious prete1t
that it found necessary to prevent serious COLI
zion and great difficulty Of adjustlnent between the
two branches OF Parliament. Altogether, the thing
was we'll managed.

msnt aud they have changed their tone in regard to

paragraph goes to show;
"Tbe Chinese are buying up abandoned cluims in

Celeatials busiy employed. The discovery Of gold
on Frazer river will have the effect OF changing our

THE ERIE RAILROAD ACCIDENT

Many of the New York papers express great indig
nation at the apparent indifference on the part OF the
officers of the company to the life and safety OF pas
sepgers, which occasoned the late fatal accident on
the Erie Railroad. 1t seems that most dangerous
part of the road was laid with damaged rails, over
which heavy train permitted 10 psss at the rate
of from thirty to forty miles per hour The breaking
of rail caused the two hndmost passenger cars to
be wrencbed loose and toppled over deep precpce'
If this summary be true The company and it's officers
should undoubtedly be held TO strict account.
