TO THE SECRETARY OF THE BRADFO.I.3,D REFORM ASSOCIATION. Sir,—While Members of the House of Common were engaged with the Derby, the preliminary pro s cesses of law-making were going on at the London Tavern. A Public Meeting was called there for the nurpoee of forming an Association for promoting the txteneion of the, Suffrage to all adult males not con victed of crime. The room was crowded, numbers who could:not get in, being collected in the street; and the presence of six or seven Members of Parlia ment on the platform, testified the importance at tached to the meeting. All went on smoothly till the whole of the prepared speakers had spoken to the Resolutions, which were only three, and of which the two first were carried unanimously. The principal feature in the Resolutions was the description of the suffrage intended; and the remaining poin ts of popular desire were only indirectly alluded to, as being subor dinate to the decision of the grand question of the suffrage. The third Resolution went to the formation of an Association for the prosecution of the ob ject. When the mover and seconder had con cluded, a Chartist leader presented himself to the meeting. He skilfully fastened upon the circum stance of the Suffrage having been put forward in advance of the other questions. Assuming to repre sent the Working Classes, he announced that they refused to agree to Universal Suffrage unless it was at the same time accompanied with the other points of the Charter. He declared that the Working Classe.s had rather have the points without the Suffrage, than the Suffrage without the points. He asked what use the Suffrage would be to them, if they had not the Payment of Members and the re moval of the Property Qualification. With great ad dress, he claimed for himself and followers to be a branch of the Continental revolutionists, as well knowing the effect of such a declaration palmed upon a meeting ; all of which was loudly cheered by his supporters, consisting of about fifty men in the centre et the assembly, distinguishable by having left their coats behind them, as preparatory to the duties of active citizens. With a just appreciation of the effect in a meesieg where it was probable the majority were free-traders, he raised the question of competition o:foreign manufactures, which was loudly cheered by the same fifty. In brief, he with undeniable ability, performed the duties of an officer commanding an enemy's detachment with the power of free passage throughout the camp, raising all cries, exciting all jealousies, pulling down ail guards, opening all ac- cesses, firing all trains, hoisting his own colours neon :ill points, and in every other way exerting himself as a talented man zealous for promotion and applause ; the palpable tendency and end of his ope rations beiag in the present instance, to quash any movement among the middle classes for extending the sutfrage beyond the mark of household as now proposed in Parliament. When he had done, the Re solution was put to the meting. A very small pro portion of the meeting held up their hands for the Re solution ; another very small proportion, but rather larger than the last, held up against it, the great mass doing neither one nor the other ;—a phenomenon for which those acquainted with the passions of public meetiags must account. The instant this was done, the meeting, through the agency of the central fifty, IY;aanie a Inas; of confusion. A dark-coinplexmaed man with bear i and moustaches, and an eye and bearing atrongly indicative of insanity,who nad previously taken a place among the reporters for the press, got upon the platform, and there gesticulated with the statuesque energy which intoxication cannot counterfeit, de- , minding to distribute a poem of his composition, and I appealing in dumb show to gods and men for a hearing. The occupants of the centre proceeded towards figs platform, some of them it may be pre aum.en with unfriendly intent, but some apparently with the humane purpose of securing th e unf o rtunat e maniac, who disappeared, and the impression certainly crossed my mind, that his friends had him in amicable durance somewhere under the benches. On the whole the Chartist movement had strong resemblances to the scenes in the wood-cuts to Dickens's descrip tion of Lord George Gordon's time. Tne end was perfectly obtained, of making the Meeting one which r.espectable citizens would not willingly face again. It is always in the power of fifty organized men to do as much. It was the policy in the Anti-Corn-law tin-a and it will be continued now, unless the working classes, like the Gardes Mobiles in France, declare they will not see their object lost through anybody undertaking to do it fur them, and so making it over to the common enemy. I see a long letter in the Halifax Guardian, signed a " Yorashire Manfacturer," in favour of cutting you off from the benefit of the foreign trade in copper and lead. The plain statement of the case is this. Copper and lead, like a multitude of other commodities, can in part be made at home, and in part be obtained from abroad in exchange for goods made at Bradford, Halifax, Leeds, Sheffield, or Birmingham. Copper and lead make a capital instance, and therefore we will stick to it. The Cornish men cannot, in a state of freedom at least, make all that will be consumed in the country ; because they will, after a certain quantity, be undersold by what can be brought in by exeshenge of your goods abroad. Their best mines will heat you, but their worst will not. And in Wee manner, you cannot keep the Cornish men out of all the market, because their best mines will al ways beat you, and the freight is a differential duty of nature's making against you. There will there fore be a division ; which is just what will make copper cheapest on the whole. In this state of things, stand up the Cornish men, and say, " Let us take the dinners from the Bradford men, and eat there ourselves ;" and the way they propose to do it, is by levying a tax on the copper your goods are to bring in. They see clearly that this will feed more men in Cornwall, and enable Cornish landlords to bring more and worse mines into play, and sell copper dearer ; and that it will starve more men at Bradford, and stop more looms, and send a Bradford man more to the parish for every Cornish man that is to take] the meat out of his mouth. And here comes in the " Yorkshire Manu facturer" and says, " Do not hinder this, because, first, if you prevent the Cornish men from taking your dinners, it is so hard to get dinners now, that it is impossible for you to be the better for it. Secondly, unless you let the Cornish men take your dinners, it is impossible they should buy your Bradford cloth ; therefore let them take your dinners, that they may give them hack again to You for your cloth. Thirdly, the Cornish men pay taxes ; therefore give them your dinners, because nobody pays taxes at Bradford. Fourthly, ail this changing and chaffering has a wonderful tendency to reduce the price of copper; therefore give the Cornish men your dinners, that cooper may be dearer at Birmingham." This is, in brion the reasoning of the " .Yorkshire Manufaa turer and I wonder he does not ask to have a pad lock put upon his mouth, or a yin , ' round his throat, —like a Chinese fishing-h aw k, to" prevent his swal lowing. I am certain the poorest man who works on your " Test Hill" where you dig holes acd fill them up again, can tell what the " Yorkshire l Manufacturer" ' co nceals, anti what h.. omits. And pikes and would suggest, that instead of shoulderinglearning their facings, the men on the Test Hill would go a more likely way to work, if they would learn whatrYork it is that hurts them, and call out against Yci York shire Manufacturer" giving away their dinners to raise the price of copper and lead in Cornwall. On Thursday the Health of Towns Bill was through in Committ ee, and re p orted. After all got the paioi bestowed on it, it will be but a small affair. The Government with their usual complaisance, have allowed an active man on the opposite benches to substitute a clause, which takes away the operation of the Bill in all places where any local Act is in force for " paving, lighting, cleansing, w atching, , regulat ing, supplying with wa ter, or improving, without the previous authority of Parliament. So that the title of the Bill should be, " A Bill to operate no where; with liberty to other places to have an Act of Parliament when they can get it." And the time and trouble expended on it, will remind you of the receipt for dressing a cucumber, which ends in directing the whole to be thrown away. On Friday the Borough Elections Bill went into Committee. It is beautiful to see how the Conserva tive benches battle for impurity of election. A stranger might be led into the belief, that all virtue, honour, praise, was centred in the defence of the cess-poola of the representation. We must have a Health of Boroughs" Bill before long. I am, Sir, your very obedient servant, T. PERItONET THOMPSON. 13 , .s..aheath, London, May 29, 1348.

A number of Liberal voters were called in the course of the day, who proved that upon an offer being made to them by an agent of the sitting Member to put their names down on a list of the employed for ten days, at 54. a day, they consented to vote for the Tory side, but after the election good faith was not kept with them, as they were only paid for halt the specified number of days. The Committee rose at two o'clock, to enable the Members to attend the Drawing-room. DUBLIN. The Dublin Election Committee met pro formic this morning, and adjourned till eleven on Monday (this day)• FREE LABOUR IN THE BRITISH COLONIES. A very numerous public meeting was held on Saturday, at the London Tavern, in pursuance of an advertisement largely signed by some of the most influential men in the City, calling together all pers)ns who were desirous of upholding the system of free labour in the British Colonies, and of preventing the country from becoming dependent for its supply of sugar and coffee upon the extension of cultivation by means of slavery and the slave trade. _ _ THOMAS BARING, Esq., was unanimously elected to take the chair, and stated that he had received letters from Mr. Lushington, Mr. J. Pattisoe, and Mr. A. Hustle, of apology fur their non-attendance at the meeting. The commercial community of London, he observed, were not often in the habit of meeting for political discussion, and were ever dilatory in agitating public questions of importance, but it became their duty to express an opinion on those occasions when the prosperity of a portion of her Majesty's dominions, and the means of existence of a vast number of her subjects were threatened with annihilation. It was impossible for the most cursory observer of events not to see that at the present moment the inter ests of our colonial possessions were in the most cri tical danger. Not only bad the value of property been depreciated, but the progress of civilization had been r, - tarded, and that social system to which they looked forward for a gradual advancement in the well-being and morals of the people, had been disturbed. Such being the state of the colonies, if some protection was not afforded to them they might nut only soon become valueless, but expensive appendages to the mother colo nies. The question was not whether there should be a charge of a penny a pound upon sugar, whether millions upon millions of money should be expended upon the colonies, which we ourselves had received. If we gra dually destroyed a colonial produce with which this country was now mainly supplied, was it not evident that eventually it would have the effect of enhancing the price of that produce? And, independently of that, if free labour in the colo nies was swept away, the produce which they now sup plied us with would come from foreign countries, who must consequently have an increase of labourers, and that increase would be the means of extending the slave trade, which it had always been the desire of this country to suppress. That was not a party meeting; in fact, he hardly knew where parties now were, and their only object was to prevent the colonies from anni hilation and tee policy of the Government from contempt. This he would say, that if any interest had been vic timised by party feebng and party squabbles for power and place, it was that of the eolotties.—(Cheers.) The times were now too important for them to embarrass the Government, but it was their bounden duty to cheek such an extreme stretch of the free-trade doctrine as was calculated to effect so much injury. He thought that the majority of free-traders themselves would, under the extraordinary difficulties in which the colo nies were placed, consent to some measure of relief being conceded to them. The lion. Gentleman was loudly cheered in the course of his address, and concluded by calling r a . SAMUEL i GURNEY, nNE whichv, who wa s s m a i u d s t t h s a a t t i h s f e ae h t u a d r y to tu pro- hispoMse own mind, and which he was sure would receive the ap proval of the meeting. It was to the following effect.— " That this meeting, consisting of merchants, bankers, and others, of the city of London—assembled without regard to the political views or private interests of any class of her Majesty's subjects—is of opinion, that, while it is an object of great importance to the people of this country to obtain an abundant and cheap supply of sugar and coffee, it is no less desirable to combine with that object the maintenance of the system of free labour, which has been established at so great a sacrifice in the British Colonial Possessions." If an unrestrained admission of slave-grown sugar was allowed they would find that a great decrease would take place in the supply from our own colonies, and that the greater proportion of sugar imported into this country comes from Brazil and Cuba. He was a free trader in principle, but cases occurred where there ought to be exceptions to that principle, and he thought nu exception could be so well based,• and so meet the opinions of the people of this country, as that based upon a desire to prevent the greatest crimes, the greatest miseries, and the greatest destruction of human life which anything could possibly produce.—(Cheers.) The motion was carried unanimously. The following resolutions were subsequently passed with great unanimity : Proposed by WILLIAM COTTON, Esq., and seconded by THOMAS WILSON, That it appears from the evidence taken before the Select Committee on Sugar and Coffee Planting ap pointed by the House of Commons in February last, and and rs consequent upon the ( r , h t e w a t e G e n e t h v t e e h v e c n competition p e e e e ( t i f i t a h i from Majesty'sthe p ublishedTropical uAcst s oe s of s:Boe4o6sf, between et h unrequited labour of slaves in Cuba and Brazil and the paid labour of our emancipated negroes, has already brought the British Colonies, which bad been previously struggling with the difficulties of their new position, to the brink of ruin, and endangered the existence of those civil and religious institutions on which the future wel fare and progress of their inhabitants depend." Proposed by CHARLES MILLS, Esq., and seconded by JAMES O. HANSON, E-q.: " That the inhuman traffic in slaves, which in the years 1844 and 1845 had been more effectually checked than at any antecedent period, bas—according to the evidence given before the Committee by Lord Pal merston, her Majesty's Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs —actually doubled in amount during the last two years."

A vote of thanks was then passed to the Chairman, and the meeting separated. METROPOLITAN COURT OF SEWERS. TO THE EDl7'Oll OF THE SUN. SlR,—Under this head it is reported in the Times paper of this day, that Mr. Chadwick. referring to the survey of the metropolis by the Ordnance, stated yes terday, " that a❑ Association of Surveyors had offered to undertake the work on terms apparently lower than those of the Ordnance, but the work proposed proved not to be so complete. nor were the securities for com pleting it deemed sufficient." We beg to contradict this statement as totally inaccu rate, we undertook to complete the work within six months' to the full extent as described in the estimate of the Ordnance (of which the Commissioners furnished us a copy) for the final sum of 18,200/., their estimate is the nominal sum of 19,9451., and does not include their military pay, no time is fixed for its completion, and as the Ordnance estimates, have hitherto amounted to only one-third of the. actual cost incurred, we say positively, we should save very many thousands of pounds to the public; as to securities, we offered any amount that they might require, besides stating that we required no money except upon delivery of the work and its approval. The prominent reason stated for the rejection of our proposal was, " that we had not the power of entry upon private lands without consent, whereas the Ord nance Department had that power;" the opinion of the Attorney-General, Solicitor-General, and Mr. Peacock, read to the Commissioners yesterday, distinctly states that the Ordnance officers have no more power to enter lands without consent than ourselves; we therefore re quest your kind insertion of this reply, in justice to our association and in support of our claim to be engaged on this work. By direction of th© Committee of the Surveyors' Association, E. CHADWICK, Secretary. 68, Chancery-lane, May 26, 1848. A WOMAN SHOT BY A SOLDIER AT NEWPORT BARRACKS. A startling event has just taken place at our barracks, which has produced the greatest excitement amongst the officers and soldiers, and, indeed, the inhabitants of the town generally. A fine young man, twenty-two years of age, one of the best conducted and most cleanly soldiers in the 14th Regiment, had been living in con cubinage with a young wonsan named Agnes Hill, about twenty-eight years of age, a native of Dartmouth, in Devonshire, fur al . out twelve months. Kelly, the name of the soldier, having been out from barracks last night (as it is stated) drinking with the woman, he was this morning confined, and previously to his liberation the . unfortunate woman sent to him for some money, and he let her have half-a-crown, with which she went to the Canteen with two soldiers, whom she freely treated. On Kelly leaving the guard-room, he proceeded to where she was, and called her—went to his room, and loaded his gun, and in the barrack-yard deliberately levelled at the lower part of her person, shooting her through the body, near the groin. A soldier named Dogherty was standing by the side of the woman, and in order to avoid killing him, Kelly motioned him to stand aside. The wretched woman is pronounced by a medical gentleman to be mortally wounded, the ball haviri passed through her body. The adjutant of the regiment gave information of the event to Mr. English, the chief of police, who lost not a moment in proceeding to the baracks and arresting Kelly, taking from him the gun, which he found was recently discharged, and ascertain ing that one of the ball cartridges was missing from his pouch. We never saw a man under so grave a charge mani fest less excitement or agitation. He proclaimed at the barracks publicly that Agnes Hill was shamefully false to him; he had done the deed, and was ready to suffer for it. The road from the barracks to the station, along which Mr. English conveyed the prisoner, was crowded with anxious spectators, particularly of the female sex, who in loud deuounciations vented their feelings against Kelly. He is a native of the county Galway, as we be fore said; very well looking, there being a total absence of any expression indicative of the possession of violent or vindictive passions. He has been in the Irish consta bulary force, stationed i❑ the county Leitrim. The prisoner will be btaight for examination before the county magistrates to-morrow. Dr. Young, of this town, was soon in attendance to assist the regimental surgeon.—Monmouthshire MARKET INTELLIGENCE. (From the London New Price Current of May 26.)

CONFLAGRATION AT NEW PECKHASI.—Last even ing, between six and seven o'clock, a fire of a very serious character, which for nearly three houri burned most furiously, broke out upon the premises belonging to Mr. !Cooper, a carpenter and builder, carrying on business in George-street, New Peckham. Notwith standing that a great number of policemen and inhabi tants did all they possibly could, they were unable to prevent th- fire from extending, and it enveloped the whole range of workshops on either side of the yard, at the extremity of which stood the stabling, in which four valuable horses were. Several parties made an attempt to get to that portion of the premises to rescue the ani mals; unfortunately, however, they were driven back by the violence of the flames, and the firo communicating with the stables, the whole of the horses were burned to death. The moment the stabling become on fire, the animals kicked and plunged in a terrific manner, and their moans could be heard many yards off. The flames were cot wholly extinguished until near ten o'clock, and not before the whole of the manufacturing premises were reduced to ashes, and their contents consumed. The total loss will amount to several thousand poiinde, C,,Jper ikAsac.o J ur oniy t)lJOt. The origin of the disaster is not known. WATZLI-WOILILS. Dividend Amount Name of Company. per of raid.

( --Wilts & Brks 67, U. GREAT MALVERN.—SUICIDE OF THE POSTMASTER. _This romantic inland watering place has been pain fully excited for the last three or four days, in conse quence of a rumour, that certain defalcations and irre gularities were charged against Mr. John Mason, the postmaster, and which have consequently formed sub ject for inquiry by one of the Post-office officials sent down here for the purpose, and who has been engaged for several days in making an investigation into the matter. This inquiry has been suddenly put an end to by the suicide of the postmaster, who, it appears, hads, ad succeeded in obtaining a quantity of hydrocianic with which he poisoned himself on Friday last. An in quest has been held upon the body before Mr. Hughes, coroner of that part of Worcestershire, at which it was elicited that the deceased obta ined the poison at a drug gist's shop next door to hi s own residence, under the pretence that ho required it to destroy some cats and rats, which were upon his premises, and which annoyed his household. He was quite composed when he bought the poison. and it appears that he had had poison on a similar representation before. He !wallowed about a dracham, which killed him almost immediately. At the inquest, Mr. Ramsay, Post-office inspector, stated that he had been engaged for about a week in making certain investigations in consequence of irregu larities in the Malvern Post-office, and that on the day before the deceased destroyed hi mse lf h e h a d some conve rsation with him on the subject. After this, it a ppeared, the deceased became much dejected. The jury found that the act was committed during temporary insanity.
