cheered by yeiy few except th « Irish members . Mr . WliUeiide made a telling reply , in the course of which he showed that the new Orange Association differed from the old one in this important particular—that it had nothing secret in its proceedings , that it had been revived to support the Government in the time of the repeal agitation , and that the Whig Government , -with Lord Clarendon as Lord-Lieutenant , had actually put arms into the hands of its members , as Orangemen , to be employed against tlie Repealers in an anticipated insurrection . As soon as Mr . "Whiteside sat down , there was a great stir on tlie Opposition benche ? . Not one member rose to support Mr . Fitzgerald ' s motion , but a
great number rose to move off and get out of the "way of the division . In vain did the Opposition Whips endeavour to arrest their flight . They pleaded conscience ( the Whips cannot imagine what members have to do with such an inconvenient luxury ) , and made offns fast as possible . Then Sir W . Hayter and Mr . Foster -were seen respectively to approach Lord Palmerston and Lord J . Russell and communicate tlie intelligence that the game was up , and that if a division took place , the Opposition would be disgracefully beaten ; indeed , it is known that the Government would have voted nearly thieetoone . There was nothing for it but to play the finale to the Cardwell resolutions over again ; and so , one after the other , Lords Palmerston and Russell stood up , and , amidst the jeers of the
House , went through the humiliating process of urging hypocritical reasons for withdrawing a motion -which they had indorsed with their approbation . Poor Mr . Fitzg-erald , though bursting with mortification , did as he was bid , and offered to Avith draw the motion ; but the cup of bitterness was not yet drained quite to the dregs . The Government allowed Mr . Cardwell to withdraw his resolution ; but they are stronger now , and , therefore , Mr . Disraeli announced that similar indulgence could not be extended to his opponents on the present occasion . That a division should not be forced was the utmost favour that could be granted . And so the motion -was put from the chair , and negatived amidst uproarious cheering , and the Whig chiefs went home , wondering what would happen ¦ ¦ ¦ ¦
next . ¦ • • . ¦' ... - . - . . ¦ " Lord Derby came down to the House of Lords on Thursday , and his appearance and manner indicated that he had suffered , and was still suffering , from illness . He announced his intention to oppose the bill for abolishing church-rates . This , of cours « , took no one by surpise ; but it is understood that the Government will themselves introduce a measure to settle the question next session . . His Lordship next declared his intention to support Lord Lucan ' s Jew Bill , which he preferred to Lord Lyndhurst ' s . Lord Lucan ' s bill , as is known , enables either House of Parliament to dispense with the words " on the true faith of a Christian" in the case of a Jew
coming to the table to be sworn . Lord Lyndhnrst , with magnanimity , declared that , as long as the object which was dearest to his heart was attained , he cared not by what means , and at once withdrew his bill . The Jews owe a large . del ) t of gratitude to this great man , for it is mainly owing to his eloquence and wisdom that they will at length find themselves emancipated . Lord Cardigan was , of course , bound to vote against his relative ' s bill , and he made a very sensible suggestion—niiwely , that their Lordships should at once agree to liberal measures sent up from the Commons , instead of opposing them for several years and then accepting them . The second reading of the bill was carried by 143 to 97 .
