TO THE SECRE VARY OF 'PHE BRADFORD
REFORM ASSOCIATION.
(CONTINUED ON MONDAYS AND WEDNESDAYS.)
Sir,—On Monday 19th April was a wearisome de-
bate, hardly attended throughout by the number
required to keep a Howe, on the appointment of a
Select Committee on the Government of India. The
most remarkable feature, where little was promiaent
at all, consisted in the avowals on the Tory side, of
the principle of conquest for the advancement of
religion, borrowed from the practice of Mohammedan
statesmen, though it is a vulgar error to suppose it
inculcated by their prophet.
It is one thing to state before a war, that the ob-
ject of the war is to plant bishoprics in the con-
quered lands ; and it is another thing to state after a
war, that the planting of bishoprics is the great use
to be made of conquest. The things are not iden-
tical ; and yet the difference is not great. In the
eye of that Being with whom the past and the future
are the same, it may be doubted whether the luibble
will avail for much. With scarcely a verbal altera-
tion, " more bishop" was represented from the Tories
as the end and object, the legitimate purpose and use,
of Oriental wars. In the speech of the leader of the
late Government, on the other hand, there was a
cautiaus ignoring of the principle, that bishops should
be found in the bottom of Mars' chariot, whether as
accomplices before or after the fact. Though all this
is only the reflexion of what occurred in another
place, it is not without value as an indication of the
sides intended to be taken.

On Tuesday Mr. Horsman moved an Address to
the Crown for examination into the proceedings con-
nected with St. Barnabas, and the subsequent re-
placing of the ecclesiastic removed from that cure of
soulF, into the parish of Frome. Many new facts
were adduced, highly interesting to all concerned;
and no attempt was made at confutation from any
quarter.
_ .

Te answer of the Government was one of the
lamest ever heard in Parliament. It was the " Alex-
andrine" of Ministerial prosody. As out of nothing,
nothing can come, it, ended perforce in moving the
previous question. All kinds of blandishments were
tried upon the mover, to induce him not to go to a
divid.on ; but he is a Ulysses who can put wax into
his ears against such solicitations, and he finally di-
vided with 80 against 100. An inspection of the
division list will show who gave the victory to the
other side. In all questions of interest, there is one
side which wishes a step to be taken in advance, and
another which wishes to hinder it; and the way to
hinder, is, if possiole, to prevent a division at all.
On the present occasion, much good will arise from
what has taken place. The House of Commons has
stoutly rejected the invitations to stultify itself by a
self-denying ordinance, which pour in on such occa-
sions. Everybody is for having his pet subject, in
which he is anxious the House of COMEI3OO Should
refuse to interfere. If this only went far enough,
what would be the use of a House of Commons ?
I am, Sir, yours very sincerely, „
