I) Mr. MACAULEY supported the motion in an eloquent speech.

Mr. HUME could not ﬁnd any argu- ments to answer against the proposition for the removal of these unjust and injudicious disabilities- He considered the Jews of the present day were by no means like those of former ages, and that it was a great mistake to go back at all to those times in legislating upon the present ques- tion --The arguments of the honourable member for Oxford on the subject of the Jews’ oath had no weight in his mind— They swore by Jehm'ah on the old Testa- ment, and we by God on the Gospels, which was the only difference. It had been said, it this sect were once allowed full political privileges, by what right and on what reason could we refuse them to the Brahmins and Parsees? Nothing would give him greater pleasure than seeing Brah- mins and Parsees in that house [a laugh].

Mr. O’CONNELL must say ,oue w on an occasion in which his feelings we warmly interested. He had struggled f,

ligious liberty, not for sectarian adv ages,

but for the principle that man‘s 0 science should be free—[hear, hear]. He as de- lighted the day ot good feeling in se mat-

ters hadciime—that this respectable and an. cient nation, which had fat ﬂilly preserved ahighand religious sentiment, was no longer to be estranged—an that they could at last see the period wh‘ something like justice was granted to all men, when conscience was free, and the country rid ofa stain which had so long dishonourelher (cheers and cries of question).

The CHAIRMAN read the resolution.

The ayes resounded in one loud and hearty tone throiigh the house; the noes were weak, and” and far between.

by loud and long continued cheers.

MARLBOROUGH-STREET_Malr1monia1 .Miurica.—Simon Page, a little harmless looking journeyman tailor, complained to Mr. Dyer.that his wife. a sturdy amazon of twenty stone, had given him a sound beating on Sunday night. Mr. Page, who evidently stood in bodily fear of the prowess of his spouse, in doleful accents in— formed the Magistrates that for some years past his wife had been in the habit of attacking him, both with ﬁst and foot, and that latterly she had addicted herself so inveterately to drink, that all his earnings found their way to the gin-shop. Theworst part of the business was, that when she reached a particular state of elevation, it was her Constant custom to amuse lmrself by thumping him about the room

.with his own sleeve-board. On Sunday mor- ' ing last, discovering that his brawney help-

ate had drank herselfththe point of pugna- , he ran out of the house, and went to c y his put and his pipe in peace, at a neigh-

hour’s. hoping to ﬁnd his spouse in beds; ‘ got into the room, he discover-ﬁ' dismay, his better half seated wit“? at the table, on which there was half-andohalf. His wife handed thn. but, seeing the state she was in ‘ drink; upon which she rose the door, ordered him to walk “ or,” said she, “ I’m blessed s' out"—0n refusing to quit th time of night, she, with ﬂoored him with a straigh L advantage was improve ‘ throwing her arms ab him, with all the to

I’ll take the three children, and under. take to do for them, if my wife will promise to do for herself." The Magistrate said, it was not in his power to comply with the complain- ant‘s wishes; but as the violent conduct of his wife must be restrained, he should order her to ﬁnd bail.

MARY-LE-BONE.—The Snob and the Pen- uoncr.—-1Villlam Lacy,a pensioner, was charged with stealing four pair of new shoes from George Dix, a son of St. Cripin; and also with bi|kinga cabman in the the! most ungentle. man-like manner out ofhis fare.

Vell, l sued ’arter him, your ‘iorship, and nailed him in Oxford-market. in the werry act of taking his pension, and sol gived him in charge; for ’pon my soull think he deserves a- good walling, as such wugabones as him close: gemmen’s hearts and makes’em as tough as leather. and there’s an end of generosity.
