TO THE SECKETARY OF THE

E r FO LI rA N REFO lot ASSOt 'IA LION.

Str,—On Monda) the 16Ln, the Member tor Oxforo
brought ua his motion for retrenching the salari. a of al•
placetnee, to the letter-carri.rs at twelve strltings a
week inclusive. Having corn:nerved on a parallel inuttot,
~n a torin,r occasion, there is less necessity for entering
4.t large on this. The grounds stated for the motion
ware, that th, late comme •cial gisla'ion of the country
(meaoing the removal of the Corn-Laws) hail produced
-distress," that there had been "impoverishing mew
,ures," involving all classes of the community " in a
cominon Late;" anal to this the House of Comm ma it,
general, and the Free.Trad,rs in particular, were itiviten
to set their names and seals by appe 'ring in the di-
vision list as young for the motion. The Free-Traders,
or those who take the lead as such, put forward som
declarations of what they would du when the motion o'
the Moniber fur Oxford was carried; but in tht-
ineantime they would put their names to the motion,
the probability being, as everybody knew and a,
the result confirmed, that there would never
he en opportunity for the execution of their promise of
what they would do afterwards. Aud so their names will
oe found appended, in admission of the "distress," ant
the " impoverishing measures," arid the "common fate."
Assuredly if there was riot something in the Free Trade
principle which was of granite, such backing would
aecomplish its pulling down.
The report of the House is, that the Bill for legalizing
marriage with a wife's sister is not to be seriously pressed.
Dais is not fur tieing too weak, but too strong. The last
division upon it, and upon a most import ant particular
was ut 119 against 66. It is this strength which ha.,
given the alarm. The Bill was br ,ught forward from the
wrung side of the House. The Conservatives [nigh;
have discovered at first, what they have done a
la,t, that a tyranny built mainly on ecclesiastical
'alsitications of scripture pretended to be quoted.
cannot be put down without damaging the authoritie'
that falsified. There are a numeer of other cases in
which the same system of falsification has been pur-
sued; and of course the establishments cannot be ex-
p,eted to correct their own wrong. The weakness is in
those who ever thought it probable.
On another subject there is a somewhat similar dis-
appointment. The Member who moved the 11-,use for
an alteration in the avowedly absurd rule fur the ex-
clusion of strangers, was smoothed down with intiena-
tio:ts that there were deep things concerned, which could
only be arranged by the wisdom of a Committee; and a,
soon as the public attention has had time to cool, a Com-
mittee reports unanimously that no alteration is wanted.
The iviemoer whose exclusion of the press gave rise to
the question, was put on the Committee, and the Member
who moved the alteration was not. Such is the mode of
working by Committee. If the press and the constitu-
ents would agree, it is now in the power of any indivi-
dual Member to correct the evil, by rising to notice the
presence of strangers till the absurdity is removed.
On Tuesday the Bill for restricting the hours of work
for bakers in the metropolis, was negatived by a
large majority. A motion aim dat the removal of
Smithfield Market was withdrawn, with slight prospects
of renewal. The time is not yet. when a time-honoured
nuisance in the heart of the metropolis can be got rid
of. Bulls must confront us in our path and occasionally
about our tea- tsbles, till we can find not that it would b
possible to carry on our bovine business at a point in
the circurnf,rence as well as at the centre. Why should
not the fururn boariuin be somewhere about the Isle o,
Dogs; especially the Thames Tunnel could at a
moderate expense be made practicable for four-legged
passengers?

I am, Sir, your obedient servant,
