THE HOME MARKET . . ¦ ' Numerous indications 'lead to the inference that , at no very distarit ' date , we shall have' a Protectionisti Ministry in power . The . Whig reign is fast drawing to its natural close , amidst the general disgust and contempt which their unprincipled , inconsistent , reactionary ; and peddling policy / always excites . The Whigs
" and something more" do not yet possess sufficient Parliamentary cohesion—or the courage to walk alone— -which are requisite to their taking office . For a brief period , " therefore , we agree with Mr . Roebuck in thinking' we may look forward to a Protectionist Ministry .

" 'Mr / Busfield Ferrand has projected ; a scheme of this kind called The Wool- and
Flax League . With his motives in origin-: ating it we have no sympathy whatever , '; any more than we'have with the coarse ^ violent , and infuriated invectives , and the grossly eX : aggevated Btateiaeiits witla . -wHcn . Vie is in the habit of : enforcing ; his views . - -We dojnot forget that Mr . Ferrand , in 1848 , was ^ ono of the most zealous persecutors of the Chartists , in his 0 ^ 71 lo cality , ; and ; that , too undeivciiy cumstau ' ees which rendered his conduct'much
less excusable . than that of ; others placed in , bis position .. Mr . Ferrand had done ' what very few " Justices ' of the ' Peace " ; in the Riding had done . ' He had stood on the same platforms with the , Chartists , had mixed'familavl y with them in- Committee and in public " meetings , for the furtherance -of an object common to them ^ hqtH ^ tlie . ; Tbn ' ; Hours Bill . Misapprehensions or exaggerated '¦'"• fears might . exist in the minus of magistrates who ha d ; hot enjoyed : the same > ¦ opportunities of closely observing and" accurately ascertaining the genuine sentiments of the working classes
on Social and Political questions . ; >; Mr .-Ferrand could offer up excusc . on this ground , and his exuberant-loyalty , which we may . almost say , degenerated ^ into brutality , was , therefore , all the , moreoffensive andunpardonable . Even jipV'his speeches are ; evidently pervaded more by a , desire ; to strike doivn' tlie manufacturers and their ; " blood-stained cotton , " than from the far higher and nobler motive of diffusing ! general prosperity among all classes of the community by a right ' application of the land , labour , skill and capital at the disposal of the nation . ..- ¦ ¦ - ' ' ¦ ' ¦ ' . "
While we deem it our duty to di sclaim , both upon personal and > general grounds , any sympathy with "Mr Ferrand , or ' with his special motives for the . course lie ia 1 persuing ,, we feel bound , alike same . time , most nnnesitatingly to state , that the principle and policy involved in the Farmers' Wool and Flax Associatioti i proves that the Protectionist party—as a party - —have a far more accurate idea of : the real nature of the disease which aiflicts the bod y
politics than their ! antagonists—" the Manchester School ' of Political Economists ;'; Work and wages , more real wealth produced ' from our own soil by our own industry ; such is the ' only radical cure , accompanied , of course ,-by improved and equitable distributive arrangements . -With respect to the first point , we shall let Mr . ? err ^ nd speak T or , himself , as he js reported in tho r Suffolk Chronicle to have spoken at . a great ..

In the year 1847 the favmers . of Great Britain and Ireland were possessed . of 41 , p 00 , 000 sheep . They produced to the manufacturers of this cduntry ^ Sd . pOO bales of wool ; The fo , roigners and the colonies pro'duced 298 , 000 bales ' . The wool used ; ty manufacturers ia this country amounted . to ,
1 , 028 , 000 bales . ; The . ' slave-grown cotton bales used in the HomeMarltet amount to l , 00 O , 009 , bales . Now , then ; I propose to supersede . tin ' s 1 , 000 , 000 bales of blood-stained Blave-growu cotton l ) y the wool of the fnrmers of England . ( Hiar , hear , and cheers . ) Hear how you shall do it . You shall supersede 600 , 000 bales ' of cotton by producing ' 300 , 800 bales of . wool , wool lasting twico ' as long as cotton . " ( Hear , hear- ) . Isay . twitte as long , to be within tlie mark , but . I fearlessly assert that , it lasts four times , as long as their Manchester devil dust cotton . Now you shall ' produce 200 , 000 bales of flax to supersede the remaining . 400 , 000 bales of cotton . ' By so doing you drive out of this country the 1 , 000 , ( 100 blood-stained slave-grown bales ot cotton ; which > ve now consume in the Home Market . Then , to produce the wool . . - Listen hV . easily ' this-may be done . Ponder well upon it , and you can place the Lancashire cotton
spinners as easily at your feet as you cau count your sheep to-morrow raorninR . ( Laughter and cheers . ) If you have only the " will to perform the deed it is all that is required . < iTo produce the wool add 12 i per cent , lambs to !!

PARLIAMENTARY REVIEW . THE JEW QUESTION-ANbTHER WHIG JOB -THE SABBATARIANS AGAIN . , A large portion of the time of the Lower House has been occupied this week with the Jew question , ' which-stands over for further consideration until . next week , " Every step hitherto taken by the House and the Government has been from one blunder to another , until at length they seem to be helplessl y and ludicrously involved in the meshes of a web
of their own manufacture , from- which it will be difficult to extricate themselves . They were quite unprepared for so bo ld and decided a course on the part of the citizens of London , and' in the trepidation caused by the" unexpected ; manner in ,- which the question was urged upon them , they lost their self-possession , and with it their cunning . The only result of their shifts and dodges at the present moment is , that Baron Roths-CHILD is , undoubtedl y * two-thirda a member , and , if the . 1 and 2 Victoria is ' strictly
construed , he is . fully entitled to his seat , havingtaken all the baths in the manner proscribed by that statute . It is curious , . that the provision of that act by which , it is " directed that oaths shall be 1 administered . " 01 C all occasions whatsoever , " in that form which the party to be s \ yorn shall declare to be " the most bindingmpon his conscience , ' ' . shouldbe so little known . The first , and , as ; far ' as weknow th&only case in which the' benefit of that provision was claimed and acted upon , was in Leeds , in the year 1840 , upon the occasion
when the New Moral World , an unstamped publication , was prosecuted by . the stampoffice , for publishing parliamentary intelligence . The defence to that prosecution was , that , as the organ of the' Socialists , it had not published " general intelligence , " but had qnly extracted from , the parliamentary debates that , portion which referred to the body it represented , arising out of the attack of the Bishop bf Exeter . Robert Owen , the venerable father of English Socialism , was examiued upon the trial before the magistrates , and on the oath- being tendered to
himre-, quested - to give his evidence on affirmation . Hewasasked whetbbrhewasaQuaker . Separatist , or Moravian , these being the onlyparties in whose favour a special sfcatutary exemption has been made .. He replied in , the negative , but handed up tlw provision of the statute of Victoria , as that . upon . which he . based his claim . -. j The . magistrates retired . to ' consult upon a point which was evidentl y new to them , the act having just passed , and on their , return allowed the claim , and Mr . Owen ' s evidence , given on affirmation , was mainly thecmeans of'defeating the ' Stamp Office . The ^ first
information having failed , the . others , were withdrawn , ' ... ¦ . _ Mr . WooD . haa-fished up " this statute , and argues that it applies to oaths , on tfie . taking of all offices whatsoever , in as well as out of Parliament ; while Sir R . Inglis , and the ; bigots contend ; on . the other , hand , that its operation is liinited-tooffices and placed not in Parliament . Now there is no such limitation in the clauBe , and the mere fact that there has , as yet , been'rio precedentis ' np' reason wh
, y the manner in which Baron Rothschild took the oath should riot constitute a precedent for the future . The opponents of the admission of the Jews tak . e advantage of even Verbal and technical point in their favour , even when they know that , according . to the . spirit of the law , they . have uo locus standi ; and we -see no reaspniwhy the Member for the City , arid his friends , ; should bo more scrupulous in availing t hemselves of every facility within their , reach m this respect . . " / '' ¦ " . ; .. . ... ¦
: It would , undoubtedly , have been far more honourable and straightforward if the Gbvernment . andtheLegislaturehad decided , by an open-ana . deliberate act , that this last relic and vestige of an intolerant and . bigotted system should ;! be abolished- ; buty as the lukewaminessoftheone , and the' bigotry bf the other have combined , for three years , to partially disfranchise the cit y of London , we are happy that they have ! been coerced into the consideration . of the . matter , and we earnestly trust it will end in the triumph of the * reat principle of civil and religious equality .
