BRADFORD CD Ail RIR OF COMMERCE. --012 Mooday
evening, the comsat meeting of this body was held, by ad-
jourommit. in the salooe of St. Georgerball. In the
sheemm of the President, Mr. W. E. Foster. M.P., one of
the Vioe-Residents, occupied the chair. The animal report
described the action taken by the Council with regard to
the various commercial questions which have come under
their attention. Referring to the Belgian treaty, the
report stated that it had been secured upon terms such
as they had always been entitled to. The extent of
the mutual helmet would be fully developed only when
the (nether reduction of duties takes place in 1864.
The letter on this subject referred to in the last half•
yearly report excited s good deal of attention shroud, end
the council had mason to believe that it materially assisted '
effecting a epeedy conclusion of the treaty. The terms
of the treaty as applicable to Bradford goods are that ell
wool goods, after October, 1864, will be subject to a duty of
10 per cent. ad ralorem, and that op to that date all wool
good. will be charged 15 per mot. ad valorem. Mixed goods
from 224 per cent. ad ralorern, or a specific duty of If. 80e.
per kilognimnie. The exporter will, therefore, bare the
option of taking advantage of tl.e specific duty, which be
will always do if bin mixed goods are worth more thus
2s. 11.1. per lb. English ; just in proportion as they increase
in value per lb. will be the reduction of the duty from 22
per Nat. The report was adopted.

The egmarent rapprochement which pas oe-
curred of late, and the complimentary words ad-
dressed by the Pope at the New Year to the French
soldiers, have revived the idea that Napoleon desires
to be crowned by the hands of his Holiness. The
action being ventilated on the measion above
alluded to, the same enthusiastic lady declared,
amid expressions of general approval, that such an
event never could occur, as it would be nothing less
than le boos Dieu crowning is monads I iable. Nor
are these kindly sentiments restricted to the oecu-
pant the throne ; they are extended to all of
his subjects who do not entertain good opinions.
" I have good news," said another ; " the
40th Regiment, which you remember behaved
so badly here, is so reduced by losses in
Mexico that it can number only fourteen
to each company." Some of your readers will
perhaps wonder that such opinions were freely ex-
pressed in my presence, and others be half inclined
to think that I must have been unworthily con-
cealing my own. So I hasten at once to acquit all
concerned by sasuring them that the intimate ac-
quaintance with my political views rather provoked
than otherwise, though most good-naturedly, these
extreme expressions. It must not be supposed that
my reactionary friends are at all ashamed of these
opinions ; they glory in them, and the women at
least would, I am mire, cheerfully go to the stake
for them. It it the men who are not in real
earnest—were they as much so as their tender
mates and daughters, Francis 11. would have a fair
chance of recovering his dominions. But when
men grow lukewarm in action, and women violent
in speech, the cause which both profess to support
is in a bad way. Men surrender when they know
that fighting is futile—the chivalry of women
never deserts a draggled banner. They are the
reactionista of the world, the real obstructive*. It is
impossible not to admire as eloquent bride who
penetrated into the Abruzzi, took Chiavale's poe.
trait, and will tell you romantic stories by the dozen
of these worthless fellows. She believes is them :
they fight for the holy cause, and a multitude of
sins are covered. It is still something to be a
king, despite the nineteenth century. I could not
help being touched, here in these rooms of mine a
few nights back, whilst listening to the affectionate
language in which three Akers of Francis 11. spoke
both of him and his unfortunate Queen. I asked
what they thought was the real giotive of her ab-
sence from Rome. They firmly !bikers that shat-
tered nerves are the only cause. When the Em-
press of Austria went away from her husband
one of them said, "Did not your Queen lend
her the royal yacht? and did not the democratic
papers of Europe fill their columns with odious
calumnies ? Is the Empress of Austria the only
young woman who requires change of air and
temporary absence from her lord 1 And which of
the two has gone through scenes the most likely to
affect a woman's constitution I She would soon be
back, I might be sure of it." Well, I hope she
will. I know, and I exceedingly regret, that most
monstrous statements have been inserted in some
of the Turin newspapers. Some statements of a
more moderate character have been made in less
partisan quarters, which are too likely to be true,
though I sincerely hope that they also are false.
No true man can wish to see a young couple, after
being deprived of their throne, deprived of what
• they ought to value infinitely mote—domestic
I peace and sweet conjugal love. As a rule, royal
marriages are not made to brunt adversity. The
man who turned more heads than that of Flora
Macdonald had not much sway over the heart
of the Countess of Albany ; and Vienna again
became the home of the wife of the un-
attended prisoner of St. Helena. Heaven knows,
and earth too, bow faithful are the sex
in adversity; but then they must have loved
in adversity. Certainly the ex-Queen of Naples
was no craven in the hour of danger ; and if there
be more than temporary separation between this
royal pair, I should require very strong evidence
to make me believe that the fault proceeds from her.
He, of course, still lives and holds his receptions
lat the Farnese Palace, and seems to like Rome
better than his followers, who openly express their
dislike both for the place and its inhabitents. Be-
tween their former and their present home the com-
munications still remain very imperfect. Though
one can get from here to Naples in a day, by leav-
ing Rome at half-past seven, journeying from
Naples hither travellers are obliged to sleep on the
read, owing to the objection of the authorities to
allow them to enter this city after a certain hour.
The Italian government is wise enough to provide
the diligence's, which have still thirty kilometres to
traverse, with an escort, free of charge. Naturally
enough, they do not want their new route to get a
bad name. One stoppage by brigands would go far
to induce people to return to the sea transit, and I
do not think I am wronging the folks on this side
the frontier in suspecting that they would not
witness with displeasure any occurrence tend-
ing to reduce matters to their old foot-
ing. I am assured on good authority that
a new system is to be tried with these mountain
vagabonds. Peruzzi is said to be the chief insti-
gator of a different style of treatment. Some
people, whom I do not wish unnecessarily to furnish
with arms against the Italian cause in the Two
Sicilies, will gladly clutch at my statement that
about 8,000 marauders huve been shot in action
after it. Such, however, is the case ; and the y
who see in such a measure only the most justifits? de
means of benefiting the far wore numerous w ell-
inclined citizens, will not think it requisite toe uter
into any detailed defence of the proceeding. But
Peruzzi thinks that transportation will serve the
desired end more effectually. I belie* the
order has gone forth to save pow* r after
action, and hand over prisoners t other
authorities. As long as an unedueated. • peasantry,
not naturally averse from the treehooting
occupation, are assured that, under pew sent circum-
stances, it is not only permissible but highly meri-
torious, and that death encountered in such • pur-
suit will entail immediate adinissio_s to the realms
of the blessed, there will be plenty of men, and
women too, who will face a volley I d musketry pretty
cheerfully. But when they disc seer that heaven is
a long way off, and loss of liber.ty for life tolerably
near, their enthusiasm is Pof unlikely to cool.
Such • system has answered before iu other quar-
ters ; I wish it every succors in the new field.
