practical test of upwards of GO years, and by the numerous testi-

TELLER/.

TO THE SECRETARY OF THE
BRADFORD REFORM ASSOCIATION.
Sir,—On Monday, the 21st, the two principal points
brought under discussion by the proceedings of the day
were the vote of 9,8271., with the prospect of being
14,0001., for the government of Labuan, and the votes
for the Commission Courts and other expenses on the
coast of Africa.
It is undeniably a perilous thing if hopes are to be held
out to every ambitious yachter who may play the " Illus-
trious Stranger" with very doubtful morality in an Indian
island, of seeing himself established with 2,0001. a year
as Governor and 500/. a year as Consul, whether there
is anybody for him to rule over or no. A. Judge also is
appointed, at a considerable salary, and it is admitted
without equivocation, that there is nobody to judge.
and consequently to govern. One Member in favour of
the proceeding, announced in round terms, that the end
was to be the taking possession of Borneo. This is the
upshot of all admissions of "Illustrious Strangers." It
was stated too for the defence, that, merchants in London
strongly urged the measure. • I wonder what they would
not urge, when they are to have the chances of what may
come of it, and the public is to pay.
The debate on the African expenses was memorable
for the first distinct enunciation of the demand of the
West Indians, viz. to bo allowed to go to the coast of
Africa, and purchase nogroes where they can get them.
It was brought out, quaintly enough, by the admission
of the Government that two vessels sent to the coast of
Africa for volunteers, only brought one boy between
them. It is natural enough it should be so. Imagine that
after Europeans had been for centuries in the habit of
looking on Algiers as the seat ofa slavery worse than death,
two Algeriue vessels had been sent to the coast of Spain
or Italy for the purpose of inviting volunteers. Where-
upon stand up members of the Algerine Divan and
say, " Since these people will not come when they are
asked, we shall be ill-used Mussulmen if not allowed to
go and take them where we can get them." This is a
literal transcript of what we heard on Monday. And
then a quaker stands up, and protests against the
English people being made to pay " for philan-
thropic objects in which they have no concern."
If I was speaking to your fathers, I should say it
was because they had a concern. There was a time
when the restoration of the slave trade would have set
the West Riding in a flame. But we all know better
now. We have found out that a philanthropic object
hich does not touch a man's pocket, or touches it the
wrong way, is no concern of his. What, then, is
philanthropy?
On Tuesday, the perpetual Sugar. Lord George Ben-
tinck repeated his proposal of a clause with the purpose
of removing inequalities under which the British refiners
are represented to lie, as compared with the Dutch; and
many of what are known as the Free Traders voted with
him, in spite of a damaging speech from a former Chan-
cellor of the Exchequer, which might be supposed aimed

was finally lost by 73 against 40.
On re-assembling, the House was surprised by the ap-
parition of a Currency Debate. The object on such occa-
sions appears to be, to give vent to a certain quantity of
talk, and then by declining going to a division, to avoid
giving any absolute measure of

TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN.
Sin,—There is one little mistake in Perronet Thompson's
bulletin of the House of Commons issued
yesterday, viz.—
" That the fact of a man's going to one university in prefe-
rence to the other is proof that the value of the two degrees
is not in his eyes the same." The comparative value of the
degree can have no influence in sending a Dissenter to Cam-
bridge, inasmuch as he knows that he cannot obtain it. It
is the course of instruction pursued, the habits cultivated, the
associations enjoyed, and the prospect of honours held out
theirn ern religious
i
to competitors in a genuine struggle, which draw men of
talent and industry to the schools of a (to them) heterodox
theologyb ' , No light testimonial this to the working of a

shall have steps taken in the direction demanded by, notses; wety
clamour, but common sense. We do not want, however,P anyr'
of that violent interference from without, which would coi-
menze by withdrawing from certain professors—those, too,
whose lectures are attended; for I may mention that, at! Ox-
ford, attendance on those, e. g., of the Regius Professor of
Divinity is required of candidates for orders graduating here,
by nearly every English Bishop—the stipends which hay:,
secured their services, the payment of which is a national
debt of honour, and to repudiate which would be a national
disgrace. What we want, Sir, is new blood, not bleeding.
I wish that Perronet Thompson and the world would un-
derstand the difference between educating and examining.
With respect to the former, though averse to the exaction of
any subscription to creed or articles, with damnatory clauses
above all, from anybody save those who profess a Divine call
to propagate them, I cannot help thinking that every system
of education is imperfect which does not comprise some reli-
gious teaching—leaving the amount digested, of course, to he
determined by the inherent vitality of the doctrine taught,
the persuasive powers of the teacher, and the capacity, or (I
write hastily) the swallow of the catechumen. It is this
which has secured the confidence of a religious people in the

systems pursued at our ancient schools and universities—the
former, with the exception of King Edward the Sixth's at
Birmingham, too often forgotten in the argument from expe-
rience. It is the want of this which has damped the fires of
e'incational life in the establishment in Gower-street; and
" cribbed, cabined, and confined.' the talents of its brilliant.
professorial staff; for parents, after all, are shy of sending
sons to "godless colleges." But in examination the case is
entirely different, though it is generally, with ignorant care-
lessness or studied obliquity, confounded with that of educa-
tion. A paper of questions on Ancient History, Poetry, or
Philoscpby, drawn up by a man of one sect, and audited by
men of two or three others, from its necessary liberality, will
be unable to instil any objectionable doctrine, or insult any
prejudices by its insinuations. A paper on the Differential
Calculus might be drawn up as well and as harmlessly by a
Jesuit from Stonyhurst as by an Independent from Homerton
College. 1)e Morgan, Francis Newman, and Dr. Wiseman,
thcugh they could not teach the same set of men their re-
spective subjects long without clashing—the ungovernable,
restlessness of sectarianism, which is peculiar to no sect, would
not let them for ever pretermit their opportunities Of pro-
selytizing—might sit for ever and draw up examination
papers, and look over the answers, with the unanimity of a
board of what dear Sidney would call " your regular thirty-
nine times articled clerks."

how is it then. Sir that the godless examinations at So-
merset-house are thought as little of by the body of English
students as the godless education in Gower-street? Give
this question a place in your paper, and I will answer it in a
day or two myself.

IRELAND.

DUBLIN, TUESDAY MORNING.—Tie Lord Chancellor has
issued the following important order, with a view to the im-
provement of the vast estates under the control of the Cottif
of Chancery, and the bettering of the condition "of the te-
nantry. Such a reformation has long been required, but it
will be necessary to follow up this orderby otherchanges in
the management of property in Chancery, which has been,
chiefly on account of the shortness of the tenure, abont the
worst managed in the whole country:—

"LN LUNACY.

"August 21st, 1848. '
" It is ordered by the Lord Chancellor that, in the letting
of lands, the property of lunatics or idiots, the masters,
committees, and receivers shall have regard to the previ-
sions of the 23d and 24th sections of the statute 11 George
IV., and 1 Wm. IV., cap. 65, and that, unless in special
cases, and on special grounds to be approved of by the Lord
Chancellor, no lease of such lands shall be made dependent
on the duration of the matter of such lunacy or idiotcy, but
every such lease shall be made for some certain term, so far
as the estate and powers of the lunatic or idiot will admit.
it appearing to the Lord Chancellor that it will be for the
benefit of the estates of such lunatics or idiots that the
leases thereof should have such certainty of duration; and
such term shall not in any case be less than twenty-one
years, unless otherwise specially ordered; and every euch
lease, where the Master shall not otherwise direct, shall
contain proper clauses, to be approved of by him, for pre-
venting the assignment or sub-letting of the lands demised,
in addition to the other clauses and covenants to be inserted
therein, pursuant to the present general orders.
" MAZIERE BRADY, C."
Mr. John Martin, since receiving sentence of ten years'
transportation on Saturday, has remained in the department
of Newgate allotted to convicts. It was manifest, from his
hectic appearance on Saturday, that the unfortunate gen-
tleman has been suffering from some pulmonary affection.
Yesterday afternoon Sir Philip Crampton, surgeon-general,
and other medical gentlemen, visited Mr. Martin in the
prison, for the purpose of ascertaining the state of his
health, and reporting the result of their inquiry to the Go-
vernment. It was stated last week that Mr. Smith O'Brien
retained Mr. Whiteside, Q.C., for his defence in the prosecu-
tion fur high treason. He has, we believe, also secured the
professional aid of Mr. Jonathan Henn, Q.C. Mr. Duffy has
retained Mr. Butt, Q.C., who defended the state prisoners at
the late commission.
The weather is now fine once more. The rain ceased
yesterday afternoon, and appearances are now somewhat
better.
ARRIVAL OF THE STATE PRISONERS IN BELFAST.
About half-past twelve o'clock to-day (Saturday) the Go-
vernment screw steamer Trafalgar, landed fourteen of the
state prisoners at Dunbar's Dock, where a large attendance
of police, with Mr. Jenkins, R.M., at their head, waited their
arrival. The quay was densely thronged with spectators,
but no word expressive of feeling, pro or con, escaped from
the crowd. They entered the prison van, and were escorted
to the new gaol by a few police and a troop of the Carbi •
neers. The crowd followed the van a short distance from the
quay, but the driver having received orders to move quicker,
drove off at a rapid pace, and left the spectators behind.
The prisoners, with one exception, are young men of manly
appearance and robust constitution, looked the personation
of good health, and seemed quite cheerful. They came in
charge of Sub-Inspector Mathew and seven policemen.—
Belfast Vindicator.
In the House of Correction (says the Belfast Chronicle)
the prisoners are privileged to remain during the day in a

LAW INTELLIGENCE.
COURT OF BANKRUPTCY, August 22.
(Before Mr. COEVIISSIONER HOLEOYD.)
IN RE G. W. at. REYNOLDS.
The certificate of the bankrupt, a Chartist leader, and
author of various works, was opposed by Mr. Duncan, on
behalf of Mr. Wilton, a creditor, fur 401. The bankrupt was
supported by Mr. Sturgeon. The debts were 2,600/. ; the
asects about 2601.
The bankrupt examined-Had been a bankrupt in 1840.
Paid nothing. The debts were only 1201. Had been bank-
rupt in Paris in 1835 or 1836. In 1837 was insolvent in
England ; also again in 1839. Had several thousand pounds
when he began in Paris an English newspaper. Had paid
6s. Bd. in the pound on his French debts; and it was the
liability on the French debts that occasioned his subsequent
difficulties in England. Earned 500/. a year by his pen ; his
expenses had not been more than that sum. Had sold Mr.
Spokes copies of " Wallace," " Catiline," &c., for 70/. Con-
tracted to sell him 2,000 volumes for this sum. Obtained
his acceptances for the same, but had not sent in the books,
being unable to do so, except about 34/. worth. Spokes gave
him the bills to assist him in executing the order. On the
eve of bankruptcy he offered his creditors 20/. per month.
A few creditors held out, and he was compelled to come to
this court. Had duplicate stereotype plates of two of his
works sent, in 1846 and 1847, to Mr. Williams, of Boston,
in America. Received 1001. for them, which sum is entered
in his balance-sheet. Had sold nothing but some old stereo-
type plates just before his bankruptcy. Sold them for 141.,
to Messrs. Figgins, type-founders. There were not tons
weight of it, and they were not sold at 12/. per ton. They
were old plates of " Reynolds's Miscellany." At the time 0f
the bankruptcy he held the copyright of the " Miscellany,'
and fourteen others of his works. These were all sold to
Mr. Cooke, an engraver, of Kentish-town, for 151. Does not
know that 1501. bad been since offered for the copyright of
"Reynolds's Miscellany" alone. .
Mr. Davis, solicitor to the assignees of the bankrupt, here
objected to this inquiry. It was, he urged, a matter for the
official assignees.
His HONOUR decided that the examination must proceed..
Examination continued-The sale of the " Miscellany'
had been 20,000. It fell to 10,000, and was worth nothing.
It had since been enlarged by Mr. Cooke, and lie (bankrupt)
was now writing for it. Mr. Cooke was an old friend of his.
Has known him ten or twelve years. Cooke had never
brought an action against him. Dlr. Strong, of Crown-court,
is bankrupt's official assignee. Strong has since been applied
t) to stereotype his " Miscellany." He (the bankrupt) had
kept books. In April Mr. Cuthbertson had put in an execu-
tion for a debt of about 9C1., for furniture and clothes. Has
known Mr. Cuthbertson four or five years, and has paid him
20W. Went and told him he was in difficulties. Cuthbert-
son then commenced proceed'ngs, and afterwards put in an
execution. Did not plead to the action. The property Cutli-
hertson seized was valued at about 160/. Knows a Mr. Daly.
He borrowed 20/. from him, and had given him stereotype
plates as security.
James William Spokes examined-Is a .trade valuer, re-
siding at 393, Strand. The bankrupt's house was well fur-
nished. The furniture and books were worth 2201. Is a
creditor for 55/. Has not proved. Has sold by auction large
quantities of bankrupt's books. On the 11th of March pur-
chased of bankrupt 2,000 volumes for 70/. 16s. Bd. Mr.
Deekes (bankrupt's managing man) said be could have them
immediately. Afterwards ascertained that many of them
were out of print, and only succeeded in getting 271. worth.
Gave payment for the 70/. in three bills> and is TIOW being
sued for them by Mr. Cox, the printer. The bankrupt had
never perfected any one engagement. Bankrupt had told
Win that he treated the opposition about to be offered this
day with scorn. He should say that at the time the copy-
rights of " Reynolds's Miscellany," and 15 other works were
sold for 15/., the " Miscellany" alone was worth 1004
John Strong examined -Is a stereotyper, residing in
Brown-court, Uiancery-lane. Has proved for 801. Has sold
the copyright of the fifteen works for 15/. to Mr. Cooke,
the trade "Reynolds's
rade assignee,
No. 2, Old Chapel-street, Kentish-town. They were not sold
by auction. They were not offered to any other person. Is
now stereotyping "Reynolds's Miscellany" and his "Gretna
Green." Had never hexed of Mr. Reynolds being so nervous
that for six weeks he could not write for the "Miscellany."
The property, including copyrights, was altogether sold for
118/. Ile so sold it by the advice of Mr. Davis, solicitor.
Mr. W. H. Cox examined-Is a printer, residing at No. 5,
Great Queen-street, Lincoln's Inn-fields. Holds some old
plates and wood-cuts of Reynolds's works. Is a creditor of
Reynolds's for 300/. ; also for an I. 0. U. for la Is the
holder of the three bills given by Spokes to the bankrupt,
and
when the assignee lost 6/. per week by that publication.

was given ; upon which the Learned Gentleman put in the
witness-box a parson to prove that he had duly served
summons upon Mr. Cuthbertson to give evidence that day.
Whet: the witness served it, Mr. Cuthbertsou said he was go-
ing to Edinburgh, and that he should not attend to give
evidence.
Mr. DUNCAN now applied to his Honour to adjourn the
case. in consequence of the absence of this material witness.
Mr. STURGEON opposed the application, and a smart con-
test ensued between the Learned Gentlemen, which caused
some amusement in court.
Ultimately his HONOUR acceded to Mr. Duncan's applica-
tion, on the understanding that his clients should be respon-
sible for the expenses of the adjournment.
