TO THE SECRETARY OF THE BRADFORD
REFORn ASSOCIATION.
(CONTINUED ON MONDAYS AND WEDNESDAYS.) ,
Sir,—On Monday the 17th, the Militia Bill v 76.
proceeded with in Committee. The part imposing;
forcible conscription in the event of the number Oa
being raised by voluntary enlistment, was only co rites
by 127 against 110. The argument on which thet
Ministry rested their refu4al to leave the enactiool3
of the ballot to a future Parliament, was extraordl;
nary in its way, and no doubt contributed to eye
smallness of the Ministerial mejority. They istgvti;
that at the present moment the ballot was presented..,
the public in conjuncLion with the pleasant possibilDe
i
of its being done without.; whereas if left to a filo
Parliament, it would only be brought forward u
the disagreeable nakedness of necessity. A str
argument, to set off against the desirableness of if*
ing till the necessity was proved. • tbe
It is not easy to say, what is the object of ._e•
Government in thus apparently wooing the intro &le 0
tion of an unpopular measure eight months befor P,L
necessity is proved. What is it they expect to g of
What they lose, is sufficiently clear; in pro( 1,,d
which, a portion of the daily press is already to len
up the point, as what must have a substantial e Ay"
on their chances of official permanence.
The Ministerial organs were loud in their dectiatirit
tion against exemptions. Which, as in the cat la avi,
t i 4
the Income Tax, means that they have got someOc
in a bad position, and mean to keep them so. At', ea
same time it is just to mention, that they prom= !e
some alteration in the law as connected with P:of
power of distraint on the members of the Societl
Friends. A sort of giggle ran along the ir °the
benches when the subject was first moved. BO
lenders were wiser than the followers.
On Tuesday, only 30 Members being presou
four o'clock, there was no House.
I am, Sir, yours very sincerely,
AN OLD REFORM.E.
Blackheath, l9th May, 1852.

TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. dbl
SlR,—The Queen of Spain seeks to flatter Engle 037
conferring the Oilier of the Golden Fierce on the 3 ?r,113-0.
of Wales. It would be much better for this pro; to I:04
Lion, boasting of her resource 3 and possessing a ire St :e
crease of revenue, to act honestly by her foreigt
ditors, to whose money and forbearance she owes h
dependence. Sp ,nish principle is to borrow—PoV* et,
thirg. For eleven years confiscate one-half the intei aa
and give one per cent. on the other moiety. We t
sill
now a Conservative or Protectionist Government— "
the "Press" and Lord Malmesbury do nothing?
