gentleman made a great impression by describing the situation in which his courage has placed him . He had foreseen the result , and had all along acted with the view of bringing the question before the courts . Now , he had voted three times ; and two notices of action had been served on him : — "For that imprudence I am liable to an action at law , and should a verdict be recorded against me , I shall be in this position—I shall forfeit the sum of £ 500 , either in the aggregate , or for each vote , and I care very little which . ( Loudcheers . ) But that is not the whole of the
penalty . If I am found guilty , I become a ' Popish recusant convict . ' { Laughter . } Now , just hear what the law of the country is , as laid down by some lawyers in the House of Commons . If I become a ' Popish recusant convict , ' I cannot take a legacy , I cannot sue , I cannot be the guardian of any child , I dare not rote at any election for a member of Parliament , every office I hold I shall be stripped of , I must lay down my aHermanic gown , be struck out of the commission of the peace , and become a sort of political Cain wandering throughout the land , a vagabond and fugitive . { Loud laughter . )"
The main resolution and the petition call upon Lord John Russell to make the abolition of the Abjuration Oath a Cabinet question , and to do it forthwith ; also to pass a resolution in the House which will entitle Bafon Rothschild , and of course Alderman Salomons , to take their seats . Mr . Alderman Salomons met the electors of Greenwich , who received him with enthusiasm , on Thursday . He told them that he had already been served with " two notices of actions for having voted . " The petition which Sir Benjamin Hall will present on Monday was adopted at this meeting .

Miscellaneous. The Last Mail From Lisbon...
MISCELLANEOUS . The last mail from Lisbon reached Southampton on the 23 rd . The news speaks of the continuance of military disturbances . A great meeting has been held at Manchester in favour of Kossuth and the Hungarian refugees . Dr . Vaughan spoke with great eloquence and ability . We have to state that Mr . Gatliff , the secretary of the " Society for Improving the Dwellings of the Industrious Classes , " has written to the Times , intimating that it was he , and not Lord Ebrington , at whose ~ suggestion the directors so absurdly prohibited the admission of woman into Metropolitan Chambers . Mrs . Walter Lacy ' s first benefit will take place at the Haymarket Theatre on Thursday next . A meeting of the Distressed Needlewomen ' s Society took place on Wednesday , in reference to the conduct of the honorary secretary , Mr . Roper , who , it is alleged , has been guilty of irregularities in his accounts . Mr . ; Roper did not attend to explain , and he was formally dismissed . A public meeting was held on Monday , at
Clerkenwellgreen , for the purpose of adopting a memorial to Sir George Grey , requesting him to offer a reward for the apprehension of the policeman who killed the Irishman in Shoe-lane , City . The meeting was large , upwards of three thousand persons being present . Several police reporters were present , who took notes of the proceedings . All round the outskirts of the meeting a numerous body of policemen were stationed , but their assistance was not required , the meeting having behaved and dispersed in the most orderly manner .
air George Grey has called upon the Liverpool magistrates to show why the late riot was not prohibited ; wliy , when the peace was broken no measures were taken to restore order ; and why the police information was not more accurate . It is said that the magistrates were forewarned of the riot , but declined to interfere . The Earl of Shaftesbury presided at the ceremony of the formal opening of the " King Edward Ragged and Industrial Schools and Eastern Refuge , " on Wednesday , in Spitalfields . A great company , without distinction of Beet or party , assembled ; and the proceedings were followed up by a public meeting of the inhabitants in the evening . William Pamplin , accused of being concerned in the gold-dust robbery on the South- \ Wntern Railway , has been found guilty of complicity , and transported for ten years .
The body of a man completely nuked , the hands tied behind the back , and the face beaten so as to destroy all chance of identity , waa found in a . river near Youghal .
A Roman Catholic Priest, Who Kcops A Sch...
A Roman Catholic priest , who kcops a school at Islington , waa held to bail to answer a charge of cruelty at Uu ; next Cler hen well sessions . Tin ? case wax very bad indeed . Gutta-percha whips had been used , and the boy was dreadfully beaten . The parents , who were Irish manifested much more desire to shield the priest from punishment than to protect their child . A Wol 8 » Clergyman" suggests , in the columns of U «« limes , a remedy for the anomalous state of the incomt . 8 of the Iliflhops : _« Lot a « hort act bo forced through both Houhoh of Parliament before they break up Una Hummer , bringing every Bishop , without living exception , under the painful neceHHity of receiving onlv
me number of thousands designed for his successor . Jf vented rights in a great wrung could ever have boon decently pleaded , they are now forfeited . Twenty-four ^ ardinal Wisemans in a row could not have injured the Church so much u » these worldly wise men who wear our own imtrcn . Let tho Parliament stave off their aggression before its recess . So will both great Kcaudiil be cut oil anil grout good effected . If the pl .-onexy of our <> xi « t-« jK prelati-H Iiuh made an increase of the episcopate riaiculoua , and an extension of « hur « U aocommoiiittion otberwiac impossible , lot th « unrighteous exotn * of their » r « 7 i ? r vi , ' Becuro U 8 tlH ' lllU <» - In » m » other way ar « they likely to aervo the Church "
house , near Chorley , went down into a pit which it is said was known to be full of fire-damp by the underlooker , who , nevertheless , accompanied them , together with a sinker . They had not been down long when a rush of sulphureous gas up the shaft showed that an explosion had taken place . A crowd collected , amongst the rest young Billinge , the underlooker ' s son , who bravely ventured down with another man to search for his father . They returned much exhausted , satisfied that old Billinge was lying dead below . After great exertions in pumping out the water and getting fresh air into the pit the bodies were recovered .
In the South Hooe Lead and Silver mine , near Devonport , there is a steam-engine working underground , apparently without adequate provision being made for the escape of the smoke . Some of the miners were lately working a portion of the mine at the 95-fathom leve which was considered dangerous in consequence of the smoke passing into it ; but the miners persisted in working th-ere ; and the result was , that four were suffocated by the smoke , and one so much affected that life seemed extinct . A young gentleman , named Fazackerley , and a friend , named Green , who was paying him a visit at his country-
Lord Shaftesbury Has Just Laid On The Ta...
Lord Shaftesbury has just laid on the table of the House of Lords , a bill for the further regulation of chimneysweepers . It is proposed that no person under the age of 21 shall use the trade of a chimneysweeper , unless duly apprenticed . Persons under 16 years are similarly prohibited , except to carry the apparatus . Penalties are to be imposed for disobeying the new regulations . A Judge of Probate in Minnesota Territory , to whom a United States soldier at Fort Snelling recently made application for a discharge , on the ground that he could not find suitable quarters at the Fort for his wife , granted the discharge , and held that if the Government enlists a husband it must provide suitable accommodations for the wife ; also , that every enlisted soldier may have a wife provided for .

To Headers And Correspondents. Several L...
TO HEADERS AND CORRESPONDENTS . Several letters have been received by our publisher complainingof the non-receipt of papers , or the non-arrival of the Leader , until Monday . We have mad e inquiry , and find that the errors have not arisen in our office . The Country Edition cf the Leader is published on Friday , and the Town Edition on the Saturday , and Subscribers should be careful to specify which edition they wish to receive . Complaints of irregularity should be made to the particular newa-agent supplying- the paper , and if any difficulty should occur again it will be set right on application direct to our office , 10 , Wellington-street , Strand , London . It is impossible to acknowledge the mass of letters we receive . Their insertion is often delayed , owing- to a press of matter ; and when omitted it is frequently from reasons quite independent of the merits of the communication . Communications should always be legibly written , and on one side of the paper only . If long , it increases the difficulty of finding space for them . All letters for the Editor should be addressed to 10 , Wellington * street , Strand , London .

" Mr . Alderman Salomons : Because it is binding on my conscience . ( ' Hear , hear , ' from the Ministerial side of the House . ) "The honourable member then took the oaths of allegiance and supremacy in the prescribed form , covering his head aa he kissed the Old Testament , in the manner followed by members of the Jewish persuasion . He also repeated the terms of the oath of abjuration from the beginning to the end , with the exception of the words ' on the true faith of a Christian . ' " The Clerk ( to the Speaker ) : Sir , the honourable member has not repeated the words ' on the true faith of a Christian . ' The Speaker : The honourable member having omitted to repeat these words , it is my duty to inform him that he must retire to below the bar . "
Saturday , July 19 . The event of yesterday , in the House of Commons , was the attempt of Mr . Alderman Salomons to take his seat for the borough of Greenwich . The House was extremely full , and a shindy ex-> ected , as it was known that Mr . Salomons would make every effort to take his seat . Mr . Salomons appeared at the bar , supported by Sir Benjamin Hall and Mr . John Abel Smith , soon after four o'clock . He was called to the table to be sworn , and he demanded to take the oaths upon the Old Testament . " The Speakeb . : Will the honourable member state why he asks to be sworn on the Old Testament ?
As the Alderman did not obey the direction of the Speaker , a storm of shouts arose , which did honour to the lungs of the saintly party . Amidst this tempest of cries , Mr . Alderman Salomons attempted to read a paper which lie held in his hand , but every word was drowned by the vehement cries of" Order , " and " Withdraw . " When he had read , he laid it on the table , and took a scat on the Ministerial benches next to Sir William Moleaworth , the shouts of " Order" and " Withdraw" Ktill ringing through the House . He rose , however , and attempted to address the House , but the storm of voices again put him down . The Speaker then requested him to retire , in obedience to the rules of tho House . Ho bowed , and after " lingering a . little above the bar , " was conducted below ii by Mr . J . A . Smith .
Sir BENJAMIN Hall then naid he was requested by the honourable member to tell the Speaker and the House thut ho withdrew from the seat ho lately occupied—( loud laughter from the Opposition )—in deference to the Speaker ' s high authority in pronouncing tho orders of the House ; but he was also requested to state—At tin ' s moment , Mr . Salomons , who had been « iadualiyed tf infr nearer and nearer tothatinvisiblc barrier called the Bur , had passed it , and Sir Fukdkkiok TiiKHKiKit , taking advantage of this , rose to " order , " pointing out that the Alderman was still within tho House . Hereupon the Svkakkk a second time requested Mr . Salomons to withdruw ; ho complied , and was conducted to the bchIn usually occupied by tho . peers .
Sir Bunjamin Ham . proceeded to explain tin meaning of tho turbulent nceno which bad junt been enacted . Ho stated , on the part of Mr . Alderman Salomons , that the only object that gentlemaii had in view in going through the forms wuh to try his legal right to hiH Heat . And Sir Uenjainiii u » k d tho Chancellor of the Exchequer ( Lord John Jtutwcll being absent ) whether suflicient had been dono upon which to found a prosecution of Mr . SulomoiiM ( nnd .
il Hiillicient had not , been done , thut gentleman would take his sent again ) , and whether or not Ministera would instruct , the Attorney- ( JencraI to prosecute ? Hut , owing to the absence of Lord John IlutiKcll , no mitisfactory answer could be given by tho Chancellor of the Exchequer , who proposed to ndjouru farther proceedings until Monday . Sir JJcnjuimii Hall concurred , but Mr . T . JJuNcoAiiu ; wished to know what wuh the quoHtion before tho Mount ' . How Could they adjourn ? Somebody must move somothinjj
