TO THE SECRETARY OP THE nrtADFoRD
REFORM ASSOCIATION.
frONTINITED ON MONDAYS AND WEDNESDAY-F )

Sir',—On Friday the 27th Feb. the House ist4 for
the purpose of installing the Bread-Taxers on the
Ministerial benches, and doing other things towards
the Counter-Revolution which has been accomn!ished
here as in France. This comes of tossing up of caps
upon partial success, and believing that there is
thenceforth never to be a contest or an enemy wain.
The same folly, if it had had its way, would have put
the. West Riding at this moment under the directions
of a French general of division. There were to be
no more Protectionists, no more war, no more any-
thing we did not like ; and to this the interests of you
and yours have been sacrificed, and many among you
may die of thin porridge before there is a chance of
the thing being set right again. There is no saying
what. may he in the chapter of accidents ; but the
man is a simpleton who trusts to that chapter. The
great lesson of human life appears to he, that foie-
sight, prudence, energy, putting do an a danger twice
sooner than leave half of it to get up again, shall be
the conditions of safety, and they who act other-
wise shall be sure to suffer in the end. Like the
French in the revolution of 1830, you have trusted
to les habiles (the skilled men), and les habiles have
let in the enemy again. It was clear, after the very
first moves, that this was the course things were
taking. It cannot have taken you by surprise, for so
far as one pen or voice could go, it has been dinned
into you till you were tired of it.
And now what will you do ? If you should ask
me for counsel, I will give it as fast as I know how.
In the mean time, there only occurs to me a sailor's
proverb, too rough to be quoted in its original vigour.
You must bear the consequences, with such contor-
tions of countenance as you may be unable to re-
strain. It is so proverbially easier to keep a bird
when you have it, than to recover it after it has been
let go, that it would be deceiving you to hold out
any pleasing prospect. The same causes which have
prevented your keeping Free Trade when you had it,
will act against your recovering it. There will be
the same cry of " All will go well ; let things alone ;
sit down and open your mouth, and see what will
drop into it;"—and in the end it will be" Who would
have thought it ?" as it was before. It is very likely
that at some time or other Free Trade will carry the
day ; but in the mean time lam afraid there must be
another "siege of Bolton," another Test Hill at Brad•
ford, women and children crying in the streets, because
the leaders whom public opinion raised to the power
of carrying one victory, could not be persuaded to
take the means of preventing your enemies' return ;
because they were far too eager to divide the stock and
go to rest under the shadow of their laurels, to be on
their guard against an able adversary, working day
and night to recover his lost positions. Human his-
tory does not produce an instance, of a great cause so
wantonly and needlessly thrown back into the hands
of its opponents.
I love distinctness, and hate insinuations. I there-
fore repeat with deliberation, what it has been my
endeavour to impress upon you over and over while
there was still time for action, that this cause has
been lost or thrown into the dirt, because its supposed
guardians in Parliament threw up their brief
and declined defending it against the attacks of
its opponents.. They were doing everything except
the one thing needful they were sent to do. They
were diverging into every scheme remote from this,
whiCh however it may agree with future ages of the
world, was incompatible with the present. They
would have no more war, no more fleets, no more
armies, because they did not like them. They might
as well have said they would have no more surgery,
no more cholera, no more hospitals, for the same rea-
son. They were thinking of Paper duties, Stamp
duties, 'Window duties; anything but the defence of
Free Trade, which was what they were sent to look
after. And while they were snatching at these,
they were letting fall out of their mouths the sub-
stantial mutton of your Free Trade, which it was
their first business to hold. I repeat it yet again,
that if the Protectionists had been stuck to and
answered in Parliament, as they might have been if
those who had the freedom of the House bad attended
to their business, there would have been as little
chance of seeing what we now see, as of the little
boys in your factories undertaking to call themselves
the owners, and presenting themselves in that capa-
city in the Piece Hall.
On the meeting of the House on Friday, Sir James
Graham took his seat on the front bench of the Oppo-
sition side. One of the first proceedings was calling
for new writs for the boroughs vacated by the ac-
ceptors of office; some of which excited laughter.
There is in truth something wonderful about the
construction of the thing called government. If you
were to proceed in the same manner with a single
one of your West Riding commercial establishments,
certain ruin would be the result; what a wonderful
instance therefore of the powers of nature, that
directly the contrary should be the rule
for the commerce of a nation I For example,
an individual of whom it is known that be has
written novels, but not that he ever did a sum in
rule of three inverse or found a mean proportional,
is invested with the charge of the Exchequer, and pro-
posing the taxes which are to fill it. A Tory country
magistrate, and they say a good one, is charged
with the superintendence of all matters relating to
your trade and foreign plantations ; on which probably
the only point he has ever had fairly brought under his
consideration, is that by putting an end to the foreign
orders of the West Riding manufacturers he might raise
the price of corn. And an active Chairman of Quarter
Sessions is suddenly endowed with the care and ma-
nagement of fifty fractious Colonies. There is no-
thing in the story-books half so ridiculous. And
viewing it on the serious side,—for there is a very
serious one to you, whose bread this is all to take
away,—it can be paralleled only by the event of the
last attempt in France, where a party whose success
would have been everywhere treated as a jest a few
months before, was by the fact of everybody being
found asleep who ought to have resisted it, enabled to
start in a course of retrogradation towards the bar.
barons ages, of which heaven' only knows the termi-
nation. It was the English 2nd of December and
counter-revolution; with the difference that the
tactic in one case was audacity, and in the other pro-
crastination. One result, however, is clearly made
out ; there can be no mouths made hereafter, on the
score of giving Office to extreme men. The member
for the West Riding needs have no scruples about
being made President of the Board of Trade when
his turn comes. March upon that from this moment,
and you will have done some good.
The two first movements of the restored Govern-
ment were wonderfully characteristic ; a motion to
issue a writ for Harwich, and a trumpet sounded for
an attack on the Catholics through Maynootb. On
the first of these, if a division had been gone to, there
seemed no reason why there should not have been a
majority against the Ministry. But the timid and
those who were for avoiding a Dissolution made a
great noise, and so it was turned into a drawn battle
by the withdrawal both of the amendment and the
original motion. The attack upon Maynooth was
-conducted by those appeals to Heaven which are
equally at the command of well-meaning men of all
sects, and declarations of the impossibility that a con-
scientious man should see a religious opponent taking
any shaie of what is contributed by all. There are
plainly two movements going on ; a House of Com-
mons movement which is the real and substantial one,
and a movement in another place, which may turn out
the moat perilous to you of the two.
The declaration of the Prime Minister in that other
place, is probably the most dangerous to you that could
have been devised. It is precisely the
.thing to produce
to you the maximum of peril. It is just the thing to
rally against you all the elements of inactivity, delay, and
compromise. In all contests it is an excellent quality
to be able to judge of the talent displayed in the op-
posite ranks; and it is quite of the school, which
has just lost you the game for the present, to shut the
eyes to an adversary's knowledge of his weapons.
The Prima Minister talks of articles which , admit
or do not admit the expenditure of British labour.
is
The point he means to maintain, that West Riding
labour is not British labour ; or at least so much of
it as goes for foreign orders. He avows his theory
to be the American one; and the American one is, to

Publics nerves are strung to such an extent as removed
the Corn-laws once, and wanted nothing but care to

frierds are yet above half conscious of the fact,
that the
plan is to stop all that portion of their trade and manu-

could not hinder it from coming to this. Man is born
to trouble, as the sparks fly upward; but he was not
born to the necessity of seeing his own house take
fire, when he could as easily have hindered it.
I am, Sir, yours very sincerely,
AN OLD REFORMER.

NAVAL INTELLIGENCE.
PORTSMOUTH. SUNDAY.-A Lord of the Admiralty,
or souse candidate in the Government interest, is
anxiously looked for here to contest the borough at
the approtohing election. The candidates at present in
the field are the ex-First Lo,d of the Admiralty, Mr.
Sergeant Gaselae, and Lord Frederick Foulamer, all
Whigs. It is rumoured among the electors that the
Hon. Captain Rous contemplate 4 coming forward.
The Sprightly steam- vessel, Mr. George Allen,
acting-master commanding, returned to this port yes-
terday morning, from Dublin, whither she had borne
the remains of the Right Hon. R. L. Sheil for inter-
ment. She brought from Plymouth some men from
the gunnery-ship Hotspur as volunteers to join the
Arctic expedition.
The Lightning, Admiralty steam-yacht, Master-Com-
mander Allen, left yesterday afternoon for the eastward,
taking supernumeraries and the men brought by the
Sprightly for the Arctic ships.
The Fairlie, hired convict transport, arrived at Spit-
head to-day, to embark prisoners from the hulks in this
harbour for Van Diemen's Land.
The Essex ludiaman arrived at Spithead this morn-
ing, to embark passengers and stock for Madras and
Calcutta.

The Devonshire, New York line-of-packet ship, ar-
rived at Spithead this morning from the river to em-
bark passengers for America.
PLYMOUTH, FEB. 29.—Her Majesty's steam-ship
Vesuvius, Captain Barnard, sailed on Thursday to cruise
in the Channel and relieve the homeward-bound.

Thesteam-vessel Sprightly sailed on Thursday for
Portsmouth. _

The steam block•ship Sanspareil, lying alongside the
Master attendant's jetty, had a narrow escape from
being destroyed by fire on Thursday. Previous to leav-
ing, the people observed a quantity of smoke issuing
from the engine-room, and immediately resorting to the
full supply of water which is constantly kept on deck,
the shipwrights, engineers, and others, amounting to
sixty, engaged on the vessel, soon extinguished the fire,
which occurred in the engine-room, where there is a
forge, from which it is supposed a spark must have been
sent among some carpenter's shavings or oakum. The
only injury done was the partial burning of a temporary
plerform used by the artisans in the engine-room. The
Sanspareil has been valued at 103,000/. A very careful
inquiry was instituted on Friday by Commodore Super-
intendent Sir Michael Seymour, before himself and the
principal officers of the department. The minutes were
treoismitted to the Lords of the Admiralty.

The Government hired merchant-ship Woodbridge,
Captain Coppell, which arrived here on Thursday from
Singapore, sailed this morning for London. She left
Singapore on the Ist of October with a cargo of anti-
monian ore, Gambia sago, nutmegs, allspice, &c., and
block tin from the East India Company's mines at
Bence, and brought passengers—Lieutenant Hickley,
Dr. Pottinger, Mr. M'Causland, master; Mr. Goldsack,
second engineer; Mr. Smith, clerk; the gunner, boat-
swain, and 61 men belonging to her Majesty's steamer
Reynard, Captain Cracroft, lost on the Patras shoals on
the 21st of May; also Mr. Edwards, mate; Mr. May,
master's assistant; and Mr. Hisham, cadet, lately be-
longing to the China fleet. On the 29th of October,
while the hands were aloft sending down yards and top-
masts, the maintopmast and two topgallantmasts were
carried away; Charles Hotchkings and Philip
Playle were killed, and six others of the Wood-
bridge's crew disabled. On this occasion the Reynard's
hands rendered valuable assistance in clearing away the
wreck. On the sth of November she sprung her main-
mast, which was fished, and when near the Cape, wearing
the ship, the maintopgallantmast fell and took the main-
topmast head with it. On arriving at the Cape an al-
teration was made in the stowage of the cargo, which at
Singapore was arranged for the accommodation of pas-
sengers. This alteration prevented much of her rolling
afterwards. Yesterday Captain Cracroft mustered the
Reynard's crew on board the Woodbridge, expressed his
approval of their conduct on the passage home, and
stated that the Lords of the Admiralty had determined
to give them full pay up to the present period. Cheers
and counter cheers were heartily exchanged on their
leaving the Woodbridge, the commander of which received
from 180 passengers whom he landed at Adelaide on
his outward voyage a written acknowledgment of their
approval of his conduct as a skilful navigator and careful
master.

APPOINTMENTS.
WOOLWICH, FEB. 28 —Master John F. Loney (1845),

Brown, and William S. Crook, to the Antelope steam-
vessel, at Woolwich.

ship, at Portsmouth, and Henry Blyth to the Antelope.
The new Board of Admiralty has been definitively
formed, but the now Lords have not as yet taken their

dence as under-mentioned:—

thumberland, First Lord of the Admiralty, vice Sir
Francis T. Baring.

ralty has given great satisfaction in naval circles, these
officers having always been found most attentive and
efficient in the performance of their duties in connexion
with the old Board of Admiralty. It is also a source
of much gratification to the service that the whole of the
members of the new board are naval officers who have
soon considerable actual service, as it will enable them
the more readily to appreciate the services of others.
