TO T SECRETARY OF
BRA" .t,D REFORM ASSOC-
: SIR, Monday the 22d,
Committee proceeded as far as the 96th
Health of Towns Bill. I was entrusted
dale with proposing a clause to come in •
giving a power in cases where by the pi
a burial-ground has been closed as d,
health, to provide a new burial-ground L
bourhood. It was partially debated on Mc
night, though by the forms of the House the clause
must be brought forward after all the others are dis-
posed of. I have made some alterations to suit what
appeared to be the feeling of the House and of
the Government; and it is so evident that if the dead
are not buried in one place they must in another,
that I hope the anxieties of our friends at Rochdale
arc in a way of being set to rest.
On the same evening I put on the Proceedings a
proposal to add to clause .57 (which requires all per-
sons who let lodgings for a less period than a week
to register their houses as what some MeMbers con-
temptuously called " tramp lodging-houses,") an ex-

danger of collusion from those who desire to
keep dirty lodging•houses ; and in the last. resort
there would be the power of refusing a license to the
victualler who should be found engaging in a plot
for contravening the objects of the law. It will
certainly be hard if a lawyer or commercial traveller
arrives at night at the SU R or the Bowling-green,
and Betty declares she has not another bed
" i'th 'ouse," that he cannot he sent to Mr. Jones's
or Mr. Wilson's over the way, without Mr. Jones or
Mr. Wilson registering his house as a " tramp lodg-
ing-house," which to a certainty he will not do; and
the same for all sorts and conditions of men. As
the use of Houses of Commons and Committees is to
know what people think of things, I wish.you would
take the .opinion of the landlords or landladies of the
respectable hostelries above named, upon the subject
stated... ..

Another question of general. interest attaches _to
Clause 95. After enacting in a previous clause, that of
exponties incurred under this Act three-fourths shall
be deducted from the rent, and one-fourth paid by
the tenant, clause 9.5 directs that nothing in this Act
'Contained shall alter or affect any contract between
landlord and tenant, entered into before the passing
of the Act. I asked last night, whether before was
not a misprint for after ; for if there is to be any
effectual execution of the proposed apportionment
between landlord and tenant, and if the thing is not
put into the Act for the purpose of being taken out
again, it is only to contracts made before the passing
of the Act that there is any use in applying it; Inas-
much as in contracts made afterwards, the parties can
take care of themselves.

The answer made by the Attorney-General I could
not collect, in the hurry and buzz of the House. But
I hare since taken counsel with a barrister with
whom I have some acquaintance, and he informs
me that the usual form in contracts between land-
lord and tenant is, that the tenant binds himself
that he " shall and will well and truly pay, satisfy,
and discharge, as they severally become due, the

tenant, which
seems to be exactly what is intended now. And in
a corresponding question of Sewers, a similar d '-
sion has been given (see Walker v. Andrews, 3 M.
& Wel.). But in the Property-tax Act of 5 and 6
Victoria, c. 35, s. 73, it is provided that no contract
between landlord and tenant touching the payment
of taxes to be charged on their respective premises
shall be deemed to extend to the duties charged under
that Act; and by a subsequent clause any such
contract is declared utterly void. Here then
the question is out. Is the Act to make profu-
sion of dividing the expense of sewerage between
landlord and tenant, and then by a subsequent clause
leave tenants bound by contracts visibly entered into
without any contemplation of the coming of this
Act ; or 13 it to do as was done in the case of the
Property-tax, and enforce the apportionment upon
the landlord ? I cannot ,make ,anybody understand
it; so gti, round to aIL thetenants in Bradford, and
ask them if they see into it any better. In the mean-
time I have given notice of motion on the Report,
to substitute for clause 9.5 the clauses in the
Property-tax ' Act`. of 5 and G Victoria. If any-
body in Bradford thts this of any consequence, they
d
should sen me ipstr tioto or suFpurt; for there
is no use in constituencies Zbinplaining afterwards, if
they do not exert themsehes while a question is in
progress.
Oa Tuesday it was decided by 103 against 90, on
the motion of Lord George Bentinck, that the Heim
should adjourn over Wednesday for the Derby. So
the petition of your 7,350 on the Suffrage must lip.
over, unless Mr. Ilutne gets his motion brought for-
ward to-night. But of this, the event has shown
there is no chance. On another motion from Lord
George Bentinck, the Protectionists maintained a
debate till eleven at night, on the subject of some re-
turns which nobody intended to oppose. The Mem-
ber for Montrose then postponed his motion till the
20th of June ; for which he was vigorously taken to
task by the Member for ;Nottingham' who was taken
to task with equal vigour by the Member for the
'est Riding. The conference of the whole appeals
.to be, that the country mnat go on taking its own
counsels on the measure of Reform which may be re-
quired ; for waiting till the 20th of June is . Iflte
asking the tide at London-bridge to wait for the Loyd
MTr's barge, though the ,'rime Minister does 'hot

CAPE OF GOOD HOPE.

We have Graham's Town journals to the 18th,
and news from Cape Town to the 25th of March.
The frontier continued tranquil, but many of the
settlers, distrusting the pacific profes,ions of the
Kafirs, were of opinion that none should be allowed
to enter the colony without written permission. The
Graham's Town Journal, advocating this precau-
tionary measure, says, " The prevalent opinion is,
that the Kafirs will repeat their aggressions—that, u
their youth grow up, the same disposition to attack
the colony will as heretofore be indulged, and that
this, if not effectually nipped in the bud, will be sure
to lead in the end to overt acts of violence and rob-
bery. It is, we conceive, of importance to bring these
matters thus publicly forward, lest, in the intoxication
of our joy at the admirable skill of the pilot at the
helm, we should, amidst a thousand perils, be lulled.
into a false sense of security and neglect to use that
exertion, and to take those precautions which are es-
sential to ultimate safety."
A person named Ingram had been murdered with-
in a few miles of Graham's Town, by some marauding
Kafirs.
In the district of Victoria the plan for establishing
military villages was in active operation, some of the
choicest tracts of land having been selected for the
purpose.

There were rumours that, while the natives
generally, from the borders of the colony to beyond
Natal, appeared satisfied with the new arrangements
which had been made for their settlement, many of
the emigrant Boers were manifesting a hostile spirit,
and expressing a determination not td acknowledge
the supremacy of the British Government.
The proposal to erect a statue of Sir Harry Smith
at Cape Town had been received with the greatest
favour throughout the colony•

POSTAGE ON FOREIGN LETTERS.—The following
notice was yesterday issued by the authorities of tits
Post-office:—" Henceforward the postage upon regits-
tered letters addressed to parts abroad, and posted at
those offices which are not restricted to the receipt of
stumped and unpaid letters, may be paid either in money
or by means of postage stamps, at the option of the
sender. The registration fee, however, must be paid in
money, as at present. The modification of the existing
regulation does not extend to places within the United
Kingdom, the postage upon which letters must still be
paid in stamps. No exception is to be made to the rule
which forbids a registered letter to be sent unpaid."
THE ADJOURNED INQUEST ON MR. DAKIN—CON-
cLUSIoN OF THE INQUEST.—After hearing the evidence
of several engineers and scientific gentlemen, the fore-
man announced the following as the unanimous verdict
of himself and brother jurors:—" We find that the de-
ceased William Dakin was accidentally killed; but the
jury cannot separate without the expression of their
opinion that the casting of the oven was defective ;
though from the conflicting nature of the evidence of the
scientific gentleman examined, they were unable to decide
as to the real cause of the explosion."
