TO THE SECRETARY OF THE BRADFORD I
REFORM ASSOCIATION. -
(PUBLISHED EVERY MONDAY AND WEDNESDAY.)
Sir,—On goriday the 16th, thzi 11:55.'; important soh:
j..:ct wee the Militia ILII. Its principal vaiao is that it
is a move. Whether t+ii.! det..s.ils are geosl or bad, is a
question subordiaate to this. In the dread
of giving offence to the French usurpation which has
taken possession of all minds, the Government must not
be pressed by inconvenient questions. It must be al-
lowed the benefit of the assumption, that like the parrot
in the fable, it " thinks the more." A subaltern on
picquet would be broken, if in corresponding circum-
,etannes relating to his charge, he hadnot hieenea ready
to mount, and ai3 divisions, told off to meet all possible
,contingentiies of the enemy's appearing in front or fl ink,
or as 1. remember being laughed at in my picqueting
days for taking particular precautions to secure,
in rear. It would be of small avail to him to plead, that
nobody, told him which way the enemy was coming,—
that it was impossible fur him to know twelve hours
beforehand what the enemy would do twelve hours
afterward:,—that he wasteady- to encounter any enemy
that gave aim fair notice and time to bridle up, but for
anything else he could not be responsible. A court-
martial would snake "no bones" of such a man, but
double him up as the Emperor of Russia was to he done
at the Peace Society. And so it will be with the exist-
ing Goverement or any Government. They must bo
men entirety unfit for their places, and only waiting the
enemy's next wove to prove it, if they have not cut and
dried the orders to be issued and courses to be takee, in
any and all of the events likely or unlikely, which may
by possibility turn up next week and the week after that,
on the, great chess-board of the world.
Distinct aluaien was made in the course of the de-
bate, to the rep rt from the correspondent of al emi-
nent Daily Newspaper,that the French army is ordered to
hold itself in readiness for a movement on the a2l; and
intimation uttered, that the most probable objacs was a
point on Belgium. A report is only a report; but, as
before, an officer is broken who receives a report and is
not in reasonable readiness for its proving true. There
will be no good till a sergeant of dragoons is a member
of the Government.
The speech of Lord Palmerston, was such as only
England c.:n produce. No touch of unfriendlieess to
ancient colleagues, but simply a desire to aid the general
object.. When the effects of a sad mistake have tnen
obliterated by change of circumstances, as may happen
in a fortnight, a powerful Desdemona may set tnings
right again. Which everybody would be glad to see.
- A Government is not to be embarrassed with imper-
tinent questions; and there are certain questions which it
is impertinent to expect to be answered, before the neces-
sity arrives. But Government and the community are not
identical; and the public may ask questions and discuss
among themselves. The Government is not a Lee agent;
it is, in hunting phrase, " mobbed" by men whose advice,
if followed, would have brought the Chasseurs de Vin-
cennes by this time to Charing-cross. Is the system to
be acted on, of having no allies and abandoairg all out-
works, trusting to the defence which is to be made by
somebody or other in the citadel? This is the distinct
theory, of the most dangerous set of counsellors,
and the least capable of taking care of themselves or
anybody, else, that have appeared in any country.
Belgium, is a Yorkshire speaking French, and was esta-
blished into an independent kingdom with the direct
interference of the English Government and people. Is
there a treaty or is there not? The Government dare
not say. It would bring a torrent upon them, they are
not prepared to face. And if there is a treaty, is it to
be scraped out by the point of the sword of the first suc-
cessful insurgent in France? The position of the Bas
gians is Coil. They are much divided among themselves;
for a large numerical portion are Catholics, who must do
as the Pope tells them, and the Pope is a card in the
hands of the ruler of France. It is the same game which,
if let alone, will be played a few months hence in Ireland.
But for all this, they are disposed to resist, if they
resisted with any chance of ultimate support. Their
strength, on a wide estimate, may be reckoned at a
hundred thousand men; who of course are not going to
expose themselves to be destroyed by the superior forces
of France, without the prospect of somebody coming to
their assistance. They count something on Prussia, but
more on England. They want to know whether Eng-
land will assist them or not. That is to say, whether
England will assist before they have given way to the
French force, or after. They want to know, for in-
stance, whether England will move three battalions of
the Foot Guards as a first ivatalment by rail to Dover,
as an intimation of a readiness to help in oc-
cupying Antwerp, or anything else that might
be agreed upon, which may be in time this week, but
not next. They do not want to know whether Fog-
land will bluster, and talk of the cowardice of the Bel-
gians, in a Council called the day after the mischief is
done. On all this, the Government may be uttering
secretly; but: they dare not in public. The party who
are bent on bringing a foreign force to London, would
go into fits. They have intimated in the House in ex-
press words, that an occupation of Brussells shall not be
a cause of war. They are working in their vocation,
which is to help the French to Brussells. Tories mean-
time are silent; biding their time to raise the cry of
"Incapables." It is as well that somebody should show,
that at all events they went to the bottom with their
eyes open.
On Tuesday, the longest debate was on a proposal
tending to relax the laws of partnership, conveyed in a
motion by Mr. Sianey. Mr. Cobden's speech carried all
before it; and the probability is that something will
finally he done. In which expectation the motion was
withdraw:..

I am, Sir, yours very sincerely,
AN OLD REFORMER,
Blackheath, 18 Feb. 1852.

REPRESENTATION OF EAST KENT.
On Monday the nomination of candidates for the rt.-
presentation of the eastern division of Kent tuck place
on Barham Downs. The rival candidaks were Sir
1:rook W. Bridges, Bart., and Si: Klward C. I),:ring,
Bart., each professing Conservative p:incipler; the for-
mer, however, having put forward his claim to the suf-
frages of the people upon the avowid deterrmoation to
aivccate the repeal of the Act for the endowment of
Maynooth, the latter having expressed hitruelf in less
decided terms on that subject.
Mr. LUSHINGT9N (formerly M.P. for Canterbury)pro-
posed Sir E. Dering as a fitting person.
Mr. J. ABBOT, a tenant-farmer, seconded the nomina-
tion.

Sir N. KNATCHBULL, Bart., proposed Sir Brook
Bridges.
Viscount MAIDSTONE seconded the nomination of Sir
Brook Bridges.

The candidates addressed the electors, and on a show
of hands Sir Brook Bridges was declared to have the
majority. A poll was then demanded on the part of Sir
E Daring. The polling will take place on Thursday and
Friday, and the official declaration of the result will be
mtde on Monday.

THE LADIES' GUILD.
:Do Tuesday evening, the 17th inst., the Right Hon.
Viscount Goderich presided over a lecture delivered be-
foie a highly-fashionable and overflowing audience at
this institution, 4, Russell-place, Fitzroy-square by
Mi. Woud, one of the managers. the lecturer dwelt on
the leading feature of the guild, viz., its providing re-
munerative and suitable employment for ladies without
requiring them to descend from their rank and station
as gentlewomen. He also showed that the society was
not in the remotest degree eleemosynary, but self-sus-
taiiing, requiring only the ordinary business support of
customers or loans, well guaranteed by the partners, at
five per cent. per annum. The Ornamental Works Com-
pany constitutes what may be called the mercantile base
oroperations of the guild. This company deals in all
ornamental articles suitable for ladies' work. The la-
bnirs of the fair executants are at present concentrated
exclusively on Wallace'a patent, a process of almost uni-
versal decoration in glass, which has been in successful
operation for upwards of two years, and which is now
handed over to the guild as a gift by the patentee, Miss
Wallace, a lady of family and fortune. The presence of
numerous beautiful specimen!, the handiwork of the
Wks, was a very powerful argument in favour of the in-
stitution, and before the meeting closed, orders poured in
on the clerks from every side, as well as tenders of other
effective support and encouragement. The lecturer
sta:ed it was the intention of the society to establish a
hope, conducted on satisfactory principles, for ladies
cooing from the country, and desirous of availing them-
selees of the advantages of the society. A vote of thanks
hiiing been passed to the Noble Chairman, and ano-
ther to the lecturer, the company separated about half-
pelt ten o'clock.

ROYAL COLLEGE OE SURGEONS.—THE HUNTERIAN
GIATION.—The annual meeting of the members of the
Royal College of Surgeons of England was held at the in-
stitution, Lincoln's Inn-fields, on Saturday afternoon, to hear
as oration in honour of the celebrated John Hunter. The
111'0 theatre was filled long before three o'clock, the hour
appointed for the commencement of the proceedings. Dr.
South, president of the Royal College, took the chairln, and
yas supported by the Bishop of London, Sir R. H. glis,
Jut., M.P., Sir C. Bell, M.P., the Venerable Archdeacon
Hale, Sir Charles Aldis, William Cotton, Esq., D.C.L., Mser.
llransby Cooper, Mr. Howell Morgan, Mr. Propert, and
reral gentlemen of high eminence in their profession. Pro
ar-
,
fessor Luke, of Guy's Hospital, was the orator for the Many
and at the conclusion retired amidst loud applause.
of the gentlemen present afterwards inspected the Hunterian
collection,:and much admiration was called forth by a splendid
bust of the late Professor SamueliCooper, by Mr. J.
the eminent sculptor, as well as by a bust of the late Professor
Liston, both of which have recently been presented to the
college.

.LITERA.TURE.
RUTTI GARNETT. 3 Vols. Colburn.
This is an historical tale of the time of Charles the
' Sconcl, so frequently selected for romances
that it is
somewhat difficult to preserve the originality
necessary !.(3 interest the reader. The present work,
however, Is not deficient in novelty and variety of
events, an.. though the often evoked shades of
King, the Cavaliers,
and the Puritans appear on its
pages, yet they
.are mingled with new incidents and
I'hlpoets murderof of
Titus
characters. It is strictly historical.
Sir Eiroondbury Godfrey, and the
Oates alid.hiS accomplices are introduced. There is
an alluSion in one page to the authoress, else it would
not be easy to_believe that a lady would select such
individuals for description as the denizens of "Pug
and Punch-bowl Alley." The hero, Hubert Garnett-,
although a Puritan by education, is not distin-,
guished by the usual sternness and self-conceit
of his sect, but he is shown to much advantage by
the side of his hard-hearted and unforgiving uncle
and the idle and dissipated courtiers. The title of
the work is somewhat incorree, as Ruth Garnett
does not occupy such a prominent place in the tale as
her friend Ellen Godfrey, the daughter of the un-
fortunate Sir Il3mondbury. The Character of Ellen
is far superior to that of Rath, while she is not less
attractive then her companion. The authoress is
evidently well acquainted with the scenes and events
of the time she describes.

A W 0 _IIAN' S JOURNEY .ROUND THE
WORLD. Office of the National Illustrated
Library.
This is an unabridged translation from the German
of Ida Pfeiffel. No one cm fail to be interested by
the accounts of the rem•zrkable person before us. It
must have been au irresistible determination to be-
come acquaiotel with the world that could have
induced her to brave so much danger and privation.
Not only did she visit the renowned city or the
crowded capital, but her footstep: have been through
the deserts of Asia and the wastes of Russia. She
penetrated to Tahiti and China. It is impossible to
convey an idea of the amount of information that
may be obtained by a steady parusal of this work.
It is written in a simple and forcible manner, with no
attempt at display and no intention of vain-glorying

THE LIFE OF .IAOU-KWANG, LATE
EMPEROR OF CHINA. By the late Mr.

Charles Gutzlaff Smith and Elder.
There is a melancholy interest attached to this
book, inasmuch as its author and subject have both
passed from the world. The former, already distin-
guished for works on Chine, died while this last pro-
duction was passing through the press. 'We here
meet with instruction of an agreeable, and also au
important nature, for the new world so lately brought
under our notice in the far east is certainly one of the
most peculiar in its customs and remarkable in its
transactions. The Emperor, whose life is here
epitomised, appears to have been a very good and up-
right man ; at the same time we are distinctly in-
formed, that he gave no evidence of talents or supe-
riority of any kind to render him v% orthy, in a mental
point of view, for his exalted station. His career was
a miserable struggle to fulfil the simple dictates of a
straightforward mind, and at the same time to keep
to the rules of the absurd etiquette which prevailed in
his court. The extraordinary style of the nation is
demonstrated in the following proclamation of the son
of the departed :
" We have received from our late imperial father, his
Majesty, who has just gone on his journey, our being
and support; enjoying a great nourishing anxious care,
as high and boundless as /leaven. lie called to-day the
council and ordained that we should be regarded as the
heir-apparent. We received this decree in anguish and
tears, for we still hoped that, by the utmost and eon-
stunt care of his person, and a temporary cessation of
his burdensome care, his vigour and health might be
preserved. We had baiely received his last commands
and regards %hen his malady increascd in force and
violence to the utmost, and he mounted the dragon, and
became a guest on high."

THE LIFE OF GENERAL WASHINGTON,
Written by Himself. Edited by the Rev. C.
Upham. Office of the National Illustrated Library.
The principal thing to remark in this work is the
fact of its being something different from usual in
its construction. It is by Washington himself ; not
his autobiography but his memoirs and correspond-
ence, as prepared by him for publication, are here
given to the public, together with several original
letters. In thus bringing forward a remarkable
character of the past to speak for himself to posterity,
the editor of this work has better accomplished the
purpose in hand, and thereby has better claims on
our approval, than if, by throwing in his own
opinions and endeavouring to parade his own ideas,
he had proved himself ever so accomplished an author.
All admirers of the American hero must rejoice at
such an opportunity of personal history.

THE SONG OF THE SHOPKEEPERS.
They tell us a war-cloud is gathering yonder,
Whose shadow now lowers o'er liberty's sun—
In its sulphury shroad there are lightning and thunder—
The tread of the troop, and the flash of the gun.
Above it the vulture—like eagles are screaming,

And threaten to rend us with beak and with clew:
For tha banquet of blood ara their guilty eyes gleaming,
While hirelings echo the robbe,-hurrah.
Then let ahem come on!
Come every one—
Two-headed, and Russian,
Imperial, and Prussian—
Though long have our swords peaceful slept in the sheath,
And we've scorned the black laurels of war and of death;
We're the sons of those heroes in scarlet and blue
Who fought at Trafalgar, who won Waterloo.

We are told to be silent—bare sons of the shop—
What to us if the nations be trodden like grass?
What to us if the despots wring every drop
From the hearts of their poor tortured helots? Alas!
Be selfish and silent—be sympathy dumb—
Beware how you tempt them—beware to provoke;
Or those tyrants in league and in vengeance may come
And bend every bold Briton's neck to the yoke.
Ha! let them coma on!
Come every one—
Two-headed, and Russian,
Imperial, and Prussian—
Though long have our swords peaceful slept in the sheath,
And we've scorned the black laurels of war and of death;
We're the sons of those heroes in scarlet and blue
Who fought at Trafalgar, who won Waterloo.

From our ploughs, and our pastimes, our loves, and our
labours.
If they force us but forth to the red field—ha! ha!
The roll of our drums and the ring of our sabres
Shall be loud as their own in the charging huzza.
We fear not the issue—we fear not the strife;
The bayonet's cross, and the death-dealing gun—
Far dearer to us than our peace or than life
Is the proud holy freedom our fathers have won.
Then let them coma on!
Come every one—
Two-headed, and Russian,
Imperial, and Prussian—
Though long have our swords peaceful slept in the sheath,
And we've scorned the black laurels of war and of death;
We're the sons of those heroes in scarlet and blue
Who fought at Trafalgar, who won ViratYNEerloo.

THE COMMON LAW PROCEDURE BILL.—The Bill
brought forward by the Lord Chancellor on the common
law which has just been referred to a Select Committee, c°ll-
- as many as 174 clauses.

LORD TRURO,
There cannot he the slightest doubt or question that
) l trio Bar—the euitore, and tile great body of legal re-
, foreasrs—eiquld el glesilY ere the, removal of Lord
Truro from the office of Lord Claanceller as the army,
the colonists, and the public in general would see the
t'' removal of Earl Grey from the Colonial-;office. Notwith-
standing his ungenial nature and froward humour, Earl
Grey is an active, and often a u3eful, partisan in the
' llotn eof Lords. Though a very unfit man to be a Cabinet
Minister, ani most specially auk to bo Colonial Minis-
ter, Earl Grey possesses qulekeess, tartness, and a cer-
tain species of irritable vigour, . occasionally useful in
Party warfare. But the Chancellor, whether iu court or in
camera—whether in the Cabinet or the House of Lords—

are both able, astute, and long-headed men) who, irre-
spectively altogether of the evidence, is not far more
competent to deal with the question of Chancery reform
than the Chancellor; and yet, against them all—as well

such as this iowsfaowswhnniecivhnedrhievbiefdofuorarniel tolerated in the greatest
it be tolerated in the most indifferent and, intellectually,
the least considerable Chancellor that has sat on the
marble chair in our day or within the present century?
Of the Common Law Amendment Bill one would
fancy Lord Truro would know somewhat more than
of the Chancery report ; yet even in bringing
forward this Biil, which was, on the motion
of Lord Lyndhurst, referred to a Select Committee,
it appears that the lynx eye of the ex-Chancellor of
Mr. Canning, the Dike of Wellington, and Sir Robert
Peel, discovered that the Bill varied from the report,
and in so varying would lead in practice to great confu-
sion. To this statement, all the Chancellor had to say
was, that it did not appear necessary to him that the
Bill should be referred to a Select Committee, but at the
same time that he had no objection to its being so re-
ferred. With respect to fees, all Lord Truro could utter
was that he vrould consult with the judges, and then
make up his mind as to what was best to be done. But
two of the learned judges left yesterday for Lancaster,
the 16th bring the commission day; and within a week
all the judges, withcehe exception of Lord Chief Baron
Pollock, who remains in town, will be out on the circuit,
not to return to London till the ending of March. Unless,
therefore, the judges be consulted instanter, and a deter-
mination promptly come to, it may so happen that
Baron Truro will be out of office before the answers of
these learned individuals can be obtained. Thus, then,
is a report which Lord Campbell pronounced to suggest
more alterations in our procedure than had been origi-
nated since the time of Edward L—thus is it, we say,
stopped in transitu by the torpidity of the Keeper of the
Great Seel.
Of the manner in. which the Common Law Proce-
dure and Practioe Bill is drawn, we do not care to speak
to-day. But we know the opinion in the profession is
general, that anything more slovenly and slip-shod
never proceeded from the penny liners in Acts of
Parliament, employed by the authorities who job
away these snug berths. To be sure the Lord Chancel-
lor is no judge of style, and knows little of logi-
cal precision, or the philosophy of language; or legis-
lation; but one might suppose that a man who has
been reading Acts of Parliament all his life, and
arguing upon their effect, would not present to
the Rouse such a crude and undigested abortion as this
bantling of a Bilh But, alas! poor man, what with

The Solicitor-General, a scholar, a lawyer, and a

DRURY-LANE THEATRE.
A new farce, ay Mr. J. Maddison Morton, was brought
out here last evening, under the title of Too Late for the
Train. The principal part was sustainedi by Tilbury,
whose tribulations, on being interrupted in a projected trip
to Croydon by a succession of annoyances, were very
amusing. Miss Coveney, F. Vining, and Selby
under-
took the other characters, and played capitally. The
piece passed off with SUCC:I9.

coarse of the meal Barefield took
the charge out of
to what it .. his pocket, and a discussion arose as
really was. One of the party cut it in half
a substance
and found it to contain h the supposed
to be brick-dust. With a view, probably, wie
robabnly, of ascertain-
ing more satisfactorily its character, another of the corn
pany, a man named John Canfield, a waiter, living in
the Canal-road, Camden-town, then took up the pieces
of the charge and commenced rubbing tham on the tap-
room table when almost immediately they exploded
with tremendous force. Every man in the room (some
half-dozen) was thrown down by the concussion and
more or less injured. The unfortunate creature in whoee
hand the charge exploded presented a most shocking
spectacle. Both his arms, from the elbow joint, were
shivered to pieces, and some idea may be formed of the
poor fellow's muthatei conditien from the eircumsteeice
that portions of bis hands and fingers were picked up off
the floor. He was at once placed in a cab and conveyeti
with all haste to St. Bartholomew's Hospital, and in the
course of the evening it was deemed expedient to ampu-
tate both limbs above the elbow. He continues in the
most distressing state. The police, we are informed,
subsequently searched Mr. Croft's cellar, and found the
remainder of the charges which had been thrown in the
rubbish, and which they took possession of.

After all the various rumours which have been
afloat in regard to the projected increase of our
standing army, it appears from a statement made by
Lord JOHN RUSSELL, in his late speech o» intro-
ducing the militia proposition to the House of Com-
mons, that no augmentation will be demanded beyond
about four thceasand men. Even for this
small additional requirement, we are only
indebted to the state of affairs in South
Africa, so that it may be viewed in the light of a pro-
visional and exceptional measure. The fact is, we
have a sufficieo.cy of regiments and soldiers, but the
former are not by any means in that effective state of
consolidation which an easy re-arrangement would
produce. The depot system, as at present applied to
regiments on colonial service, ought to be placed upon
the same footing as that of those serving in our East
Indian possessions, and a small staff, with a couple
of officers at the head, substituted for the existing
retention of four companies. Furthermore, and
indeed principally, with respect to our Infantry
"rl3B, Guards and Line (and in the former we
should not be at all sorry to see the third batta-
lion
of
the Grenadiers reduced, and the army list
eased of so many precocious field-officers),
each battalion
should consiat of eight com-
, Panie', of one hundred rank and file each,
whereby we would have, after deducting twenty-five
battalions for India, and eight colonial ones, an infan-
try force for home and colonies of sixty-eight thou-
sand rank and file, or in round .numbers of 75 000
infantry of all ranks. It is rumoured, and it is to be
effected
in-
fantry with truth, that the army is to be improved by
an addition of four battalions
and as many of rifles (to of
be light
by conversion of an equal number of the " heavy
bobs"), and by the arming of each regimental light
company with the rifle. These would indeed be
steps in the right direction: The advantages and
even necessity of some considerable amelioration of
the present infantry equipment have been so profusely
discussed and demonstrated. of late in the public
journals, that we shall not here dwell upon that
branch of the subject. ale necessity for keep-
ing pce with the modern improvements in
firearms which have been adopted by certain of our
continental neighbours is beginning
to be generally
felt. Even those slow coaches the Austrians are,
we understand, turning their attention as well as the
acute Feench to tip. question of substituting rifles for
muskets. The Austrian troops at Ancona have been
recently supplied with sixteen of the newly invented
German rifles to every company of a hundred and
eighty men, and these soldiers are now daily
drilling as sharpshooters. It appears that the whole
Austrian infantry has been similarly supplied, and

HEAR THIS, LADIES.—The learned Niebuhr, when
in this country stayed some time in the north, and it is stated
by his biographer, that in the vicinity of Edinburgh, be
visited the seat of Sir John Murray, of Kirkland's Hill,
whose wife was "somewhat rough, though pleasant," and
who " smoked her pipe, laughed at it, and protested it was
no sin." We would ratherf reconcile ourselves to the " pan-
telettes" than the pipe, notwithstanding all that bas been
said of the Bloomers. In short, a lady with a day pipe
would be more intolerable than a bagpipe, and heaven defend

EXTRAORDINARY ATTEMPT AT SUICIDE IdY TWO
FOREIGNERS.—Some fews days ago the police received in-
formation that a woman of the name of Caroline Karma, a
servant in the family of Dr. da Alguer, 4, Ovingtot-terrace,
Brompton, had absconded from her situation, taking with
her a quantity of valuable jewellery and other property to
the amount of 2001., and notwithstanding every effort of the
police she eluded their vigilance until yesterday stternoon,
when, as Superintendant Otway and Inspector Menckton of
the C division were proceeding down Cambridge-street,
Golden-square, they saw the woman c-me out of ter. I ates',
a pawnbroker in the same street. They followed her to the
Hotel do l'Europe, Leicester-place, which she entered. After
waiting a few minutes the officers went in, and, on
proceeding to a frent room on the third floor they
found a man, who gave the name of Wen-
zeslaus Joseph Stralsener, and the wolves whom
they had followed. The latter was counting out some money
to the man, and on being told the nature of the charge
against them, the man took a razor from his waistcoat
pocket, and before the officers were aware of it, drew the
blade across his left wrist, and directly fell on the floor.
Inspector Monckton immediately extricated the rasor from
his grasp, and in the struggle it fell from his hand. The
woman directly caught it up, and cut her left wrist in the
same manner, and fell down in a state of insensibility. They
were at once conveyed to Charing-cross Hospital, and on
being examined by the surgeon, he found that the arteries
had been completely severed, and that they were it a dan-
gerous state. Two constables were left in charge of them,
and as soon as they are sufficiently recovered, they will be
taken to the police court, Westminster, there to undergo an
examination on the charge of robbery.

DISCONTINUANCE'Or INQUESTS AT PUDLIC^BOUSES.
—The parochial trustees of Poplar have recently come to a
determination that all coroners' inquests shall in future be
held at the Town-hall instead of at public-houses. In pur.
suance of this change, an inquest was held on Friday even-
ing in the Town-hall by Mr. W. Baker, the coroner. This
proceedin,f was strongly opposed by Mr. Finney, the land-
lord of the King's Head Tavern, and several other pariShi-
oners, who demanded to kn ow by what authority she inva-
riable custom of holding in quests at public-houses had been
changed. One of the odic./ :,rs of the parish said the parochial
trustees considered there were great objfetions to coroners'
inquests being held at put ,lic-houses; it detracted from the
respectability and velem .nity or a court of juttico. They
thought that the Town-I a& was a much more suita)le place
for carrying out such public inquiries. The incisest was
then proceeded with.

LONDON, WEDNESDAY FEBRUARY 28, 1852.

Whether the present Ministry will continue much
Luger in office, or be driven from the posts of Ad.
ministration, must very speedily become apparent.
During a considerable time past it has existed only
on sufferance. Popularity, indeed, was never its at-
tribute even in its palmiest days, for the success of
Lord JOHN Russzu, in first attaining the rank of
llrtaa Minister was attributable less to his, own

running between the Paddington terminus of the Great

FIRE AT DART roan.—The firemen of the London
brigade, with a &troll? number of hired auxiliaries, have
beers actively employed ever since their arrival on Ssiturday
nig'nt in endeavouring to get the fire at the ?tumult Paper
Mill entirely extringuir,hed, but up to last evening have been
un successful, anal a Knass of fire still remains beneath the
ru ins. 2uo women were employed in the mill, all of whom
h ave been thrown: out of work.

REPRESENTATION OF WESTMINSTER.—Mr. Charles
I 4usbington has . announced his intention of retiring from the
1 epresentation of ' Westminster at the close of the present
Parliament. Ai nong many gentlemen spoken of as pro-
bable candidates, . one has already announced himself in the
person of Mr. J. )hn Villiers Shelley, of Maresfield Park,
Sussex, who des( :ribes himself as a landowner and practical
farmer. He is f. )r vote by ballot, coupled with an extension
of the franchise, a corn-law repealer, and an enemy to grants
from the public 1 curse for other than secular purposes. A
great desire exit as on the part of a numerous section of the
constituency to i Fr vite Lord Palmerston to come forward ;
and a public me e ling of electors will be called in the course
of 'a few days to consider the desirableness of memorialising
the Noble Visccest :t on the subject.

MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS.
CITY, TWO O'CLOCK.

The sales of Cotton at Liverpool yesterday were es-
timated at from 12,000 to 14,000 bales, of which 1,000
Surat and 500 American were taken for export, and
1,500 Surat and 1,500 American on speculation. The
market closed with an upward tendency, and American
and Surat were 3d. per lb. higher, and all other kinds
were tight.—Railway Shares were fist at lower prices.
Some conversation has taken place upon the nume-
rous failures that have occurred in Dublin. and the im-
pression prevails with many that the trade of that city is
in a state of decay. We believe, however, that this is
entirely erroneous, for it must be remarked by those
who pay attention to the subject, that the parties who
have suspended are mostly in the colonial and provision
branches, and these it is well known have been more
fluctuating than any other. Compared with what has
occurred in London, the liabilities of the different
firms are unimportant, anl many of them will pay a
very fair dividend. We apprehend that the
same mistake has been made throughout the
world with regard to the future prices of tropical staples.
There cannot be any safety in speculating for a rise at
the present day, and we should strongly deprecate fal-
lacious hopes, because the sooner a permanent level is
established the better it will be for the growers as well
as the merchants. Taking Sugar and other articles in
the Calcutta and West India markets at prices which it
seems impossible to realise in London, is a proceeding
which any school-boy would understand to be ruinous in
its results, and yet throughout the past year this may be
said to have been done by merchants of standing and ex-
perience. We have before explained, however, that this is
not so much an error of judgment as a compliance with
force of circumstances, for if our manufactures are
pressed into the Eastern markets beyond the power of
consumption, there is no alternative but to accept what
we can get in return, and the greater the demand the
higher, of course, will_ be the prices. In Mincing•lane,
at present, there is a far greater amount of caution, and
we could hardly point to one article in which the sales
are more than equal to the average weekly consumption.
These may give a dull appearance to general trade,
but it is a healthy system, and those only who think
of becoming suddenly rich, and who, as often, are made
irretrievably poor, will object to it. It is aatistaciory
also to know that our provision markets are firmer, and
that the Admiralty thinks it advisable to give a prefer-
ence to Irish cured meats. This was proved by the
smaller quantity of American taken when the last con-
tract was entered into. Grain, likewise, is not expected
to go lower, and the late harvests in the north of Europe
will not leave any large surplus for exportation to Eug-
, land, unless.a greater temptation is offered with regard
to prices.
Objections are making to the Australian Mail con-
tract, and Mr. French urged upon Parliament last
evening that Mr. Walton had not performed his agree-
ment in forming a company. This is obviously an
error, because we have already been informed by public
advertisement that the Australian Mail Steam-packet
Company
.have purchased two screw-vessels, which will
be ready in April to make a commencement; and al-
though we have before urged that we require at least, in
the present altered circumstances of the colonies, a
monthly communication, we must likewise feel gratified
that the movement has been made, and are certain that
the feeling in the City is that the new company has taken
it at an exceedingly low figure.
The Amsterdam Stock Market on the 16th inst. was
well supported for Dutch Bonds. South American
were likewise in request.
The more the question of the Exchequer-bills is con-
sidered, the greater the dissatisfaction expressed with
the conduct of Sir Charles Wood in not availing himself
of the existing abundance of money to effect some re-
lief of the existing burden. It is true, the saving upon
the 8,500,0001. falling due would be only about 32,0001.
if the daily interest were lowered to 13d. per cent.,
but this is an object, and with the existing high pre-
mium upon the bills, it is obvious the public could
obtain the saving. We apprehend the Government in
its weakness thinks to "curry favour" with the banking
interest by postponing the measure, but in this they
may be mistaken, seeing the general iinpolicy of their
proceedings and their consequent unpopularity.
The Stock Market is still heavy and there is very
little money business doing. Consols bring 971 for
Transfer and 973 to 4 for Account. The premium on
Exchequer-bills has been 58s. to 615., and on India
Bonds 695. to 718. premium. The New Three-and-a-
Qaarter per Cents. are 996 to 3, and the Three per
Cents. 973 to 98. Bank Stock is very firm at 217.
Foreign Securities have been a good deal dealt in.
Spanish Five per Cents. have been 233 3, and the Three
par Cents. 41. The Deferred are 18/ 3, and the Certi-
ficate has risen to 13 per cent. Portuguese Four per
Cents. have been marked 323 3. Grenada Bonds have
been quoted lower, sales being made to realise profits.
The Active have been 214 and since 203. Equador are
also down, tieing 43 3. Deferred Grenada have re-
ceded to 73. These stocks have been run up too fast,
and not altogether upon valid ground, for one follows
the other. Venezuela Old Stock is at 374. Belgian
Four-and a-Half per Cents. are 915, and Latch Four
per Cents. 92 to I. Mexican Stock has been worth
323 ifor Money, and up to 323 and 33 for Account.
Peruvian Old Bonds are at 983.
Railway Shares have been rather weaker, but sales
have not been pressed.
Gold Mines have been firm and a moderate business
is doing in them.
The following is from the Committee of Spanish Ame-
rican Bondholders respecting the Equador debt:—
" At a meeting of the Committee of Spanish American
Bondholders, held to-day, it was determined, in pur-
suance of a resolution passed at a meeting of Colombian
Bondholders, held some time since, to dispatch Mr.
Ekes Mocatta of Liverpool, to Quito, to endeavour to
effect an adjustment of the foreign debt of the republic
of the Equador."

Agreed to.
COUNTY RATES BILL.
Mr. FRESHFIELD, in moving the second reading of
this Bill, said it had been introduced for the purpose of
consolidating all Acts relating to county rates, and
amending ail their incongruities. Under the Bill not a
shilling more would be raised than was done at present,
nor would any person be subject to any liability which
was not already imposed upon him. But it was abso-
lutely necessary that the incongruities should be re-
moved, and the law rendered consistent in itself and
made more practicable. The subject had been investi-
gated by several committees appointed by various
counties, and the result of the investigation was a Bill
which fixed the rateable value of all counties, which he
now proposed to repeal. That Act was at first defective,
in so far as it did not specify to whom the notice of ap-
peal was to be given in the event of an appeal
being made, and another Act was passed to
remedy this detect, but it did it so clumsily that this
Act was found to be inoperative, and he therefore now
proposed to amend the provisions of that Act. Some
of the existing Acts confounded tke levying with the
assessment of a rate—the two proceedings, in fact, being
treated as synonymous; and this Bill would remedy that
defect. It would give the sessions of the county power
to establish the basis of a rate, and authority to assess
the rate, each pariah having a month given to them for
appeal against any excessive assessment. The assess-
ment would be made annually, and a standing county-
rate committee would be created in each county, the
members to be elected annually, and their duties to con-
sist of investigating the appeals. The power, however,
of dismissing or allowing the appeal would rest
with the Court of Quarter Sessions, and the standing
committee would have to prepare reports for the
guidance of the sessions. The mode of assessment
which this Bill contemplated was that which was now in
force for levying the poor-rate, and apologising to the
House for detaining them so long, he had now only to
more the second reading of the Bill.
Mr. BOUVERIE would not oppose the second read-
ing of the Bill, but at the same time he entertained con-
siderable objection to the Bill. In the first place, the
Bill was intended to consolidate the statutes relating to
the county rate, but it omitted some of the existing
statutes, and therefore it was defective in that respect.
There were other defects of detail in the Bill besides its
being objectionable in so far as it related to the mode of
assessment, and the mode of estimating each valuation
for levying the rate.

given for diEcussing the whole of Its details. Ile bore
testimony to the demoralizing tendency which the great
consumption of spirits had upon the people of Scothsnd,
and to the urgent necessity which existed for some legis-
lative enactment upon the subject. "

Mr. B. 'HOPE thanked the Hon. Member for Boston
for having introduced this Bill. He could not under-
stand why the Government should object to the basis
of the valuation proposed to be established by the Bill,
since that basis was precisely the same as that
upon which the income and property-tax had been
founded. The Bid, however, was detective in one re-
spect, it made no provision for a net valuation, but, per-
haps. the ti feet could br rernedii d in Committee.
Mr. HUME was glad this question had been raised,
not that he anticipated that this Bill would be passed
into a law, but it might settle the disputes that now ex-
isted as to the best mode of valuation. At present there
was a variety of valuations in force in different
parishes, and it was impossible, to have a fair
representation of the people in that House, unless a Bill
was passed to establish a general and uniform rate all
llpeetrhpoeusge.ht Government ought to
ovbringer thein a Bill country.for the
"Mr. C. LEWIS said the law at present was as strong
as it could be made; that the valuations for the poor and
county rates should bo equal and uniform, and there was
no to press such a Bill as that suggested by the
H none.cessity Member for Montrose. It was true that the poor
law valuation was occasionally unequal, but neverthe.
less he trust object in Coto to placing the county-rate
upon a different basis to the poor-rate, or it would in-
volve the expense of two assessments.
Mr. HENLEY said such tormidable difficulties hap
arisen to the further progress of the dill, that the Hen.
Member must be a very courageous man it he ventured
to encounter the labour and attention which would he
required of him if he went into Committee. It was a
very objeciotiable measure in principle, and he regretted
that the Goverement had not recommended its with-
drawal, as to proceed with it was only to waste the time
of the House.
Mr. FRESHFIELD said he felt no alarm or nervous
affections in consequence of the Hon. Member's caution.
The Bill was ono of the most simple in operation, and
he anticipated no difficulty or serious obstruction to its
passing through the House.
The Bill was then read a second time.

agreed that a committee should be appointed

objections to most of the clauses. Steps had already
been taken in Edinburgh to diminish the number of
public-houses, and whilst in 1830 there were 872, tho
number had been reduced to 516 in 1851; but therehad
been no commensurate benefit, for the vice had increased
