At tiorand the other northern outports, nearly 1,300
head oPaeh kind of stock arrived, chiefly from Ham-
burgh id Rotterdam. The number of Beast here to-
day fro Holland an Germany was small, but those of
Sheep nd Calves was again extensive. There were in
the met 16 very superior Oxen from Spain. Even
the tie of year considered, the supply of Beasts from
our graing districts was again extensive, and of full
averap quality. Although the attendance of both town
and dimly buyers was numerous, the Beef trade was
in a vry inactive state, at prices barely equal to those
obtaied on Monday last, and at which a clearance was
not eected. From Norfolk, Suffolk, Essex, and Cam-
bridpshire, we received about 1,600 Scots and short-
horn; from the western and midland counties, 800 Here-
ford runts, Devons, Irish Beasts, &c.; from other parts
of Icglabd, 400 of various breeds; and
,from Scotland,
489 horned and polled Scots. We have to report a
furor iticrease in the supply of Sheep. Prime Down
quf:ties were in moderate request at last week's cur-
rerivs; otherwise, the Mutton trade was heavy, and
lat rates were with difficulty supported. Ooly about
10 Lambs eame to hand from the Isle of Wight, but the
arivals from other quarters were large. The Lamb
trde was in a very inactive state. at from 24 to 4d per

wre a very dull inquiry, at barely the late depression in
value. In Pigs next to nothing was doing, at almost

TO THE SECRETARY OF THE
BRADFORD REFORM ASSOCIATION.
Sir,—On Wednesday May 31, the House went
into Committee on the Roman Catholic Relief Bill.
The party that are for relieving nobody, move-i an
instruction to the Committee to divide the Bill into
two; which will be unders-ood rs giving up one por-
tion of the spoil with a view to making a better de-
fence upon the other. In this they succeeded by a
majority of 142 against 129. On a subsequent mo-
tion to stop progress, they were defeated by 161
against 111.
On Thursday, the adjourned debate on the Navi-
gation-laws was resumed on the question of going
into Committee. The Conservatives made their usual
protest against "the sordid spirit of gain ;" which is
what they habitually put forward when the question
is of taking profits for themselves and making other
people pay for it. One fact they commented on,
which must be further looked into. A naval officer
of rank, Sir James Sterling, has declared before a
Committee, that he does not believe in the
connexion between the navy and the mercantile
marine, to the extent it has been customary to
assume. This, as coining from a professional autho-
rity, is important; for it strikes at several weighty
assumptions, among others, the necessity for Im-
pressment, and the policy of paying twice °Ter, once
for the navy, and once before for. the mercantile ma-
rine. My own belief is, thatt it would be as reason-
able to ask you the public, a monopoly price
for pasaboys, in order that the Artillery might supply
itself with drivers. It is no doubt convenient for the
Artillery to recruit among usedit to the driviug
business, in order to fill up what cannot educate
bedifficulty itself; and it is possible there might
maintaining a corps of artillery-drivers in
to a country
where there were positively no drivers be had
outside. But this is a long way from allowing g post-
mastersrt to set up a plea, that they are then great
nursery of artillery-drivers, and therefore
must be
nursed with a monopoly price. Drivers are good,
and sailors are good ; but not necessarily so good as
to require to be paid for twice over. It appears we
have a naval officer avowing his disbelief; and you
at Bradford, as the men who are to pay for all, ought
to follow his lead, when you have done with the
pike-exercise.
On Friday, the debate on the Navigation-laws was
continued and again adjourned. The most remark-
able point brought out during the debate, was the
admission on all sides of the House of the impossi-
bility of.ittgain resorting to Impressment.: ;Those who
attend to such things, know the effect of an adinies
sion of this kind, end how it settles down into the
public mind, forming there a fixed basis of, opinion
which cannot be afterwards disturbed.
Lord John Hay, one of the Lords of the Admiralty,
was the mouthpiece of the Government. When urged
to say how the Government expected to man the
navy.in the event of a sudden war, he fairly stated
that they looked to the inevitable check to employ-
ment in some department or other of the merchant
service which must be attendant, and to the encou-
ragement the royal navy could offer to 'The un-
employed seamen to enlist. It is quite clear
that sense and justice have made their way into
high places. The army has long been recruited on the
same principle ; and it was only because the sailor
was a man cut off from conceived community of in-
terest with the other classes, that the injustice could
be applied to him. Two things only are wanting to
recruit the royal navy to any extent, good pay, and
good usage. On the first there i 3 a good deal
to he done; for the transfer of sailors from the
merchants' to the royal service must be slow, so long
as there is the.outward visible sign of wages being
three times as high in the one as in the other. There
may, to a certain extent, be counterbalances in
the eyes of reasoning men ; but the navy cannot wait
for being manned by reasoning men. At the same
time it is plain the naval officers are doing much to-
wards the cause of progress. They scout the notion
of their predecessors, that there is no way of supply-
ing the navy with able seamen but by stealing them
fr :in the merchant-vessels ready made. They do as
the Artillery would do, if told there was no way to
have their guns drivea but by stealing post-boys.
They do not deny that post-boys rreay be a useful
accessory ; but they say that they can make post-
boys too, and that there is no reason why a man who
is to live in the saddle, should not learn his trade in
their school as well as in another.
It is evident that this question of the Navigation-
laws divides itself into two parts, the commercial and the
political ; and these it is the policy of the Protection-
ists to confound together, and therefore of everybody
else to separate. The first or commercial part of the
question, is simply a portion of the general subject of
Free Trade. Is it for the advantage of the community
that the price of any commodity should be artificially
raised by law ? See who gains and who loses, and
then putting the whole together, see which way the
balance lies. If you at Bradford could not do this,
you would be of scant knowledge in your own busi-
ness, and deserve to take the consequences. But it is
wonderful how slow the progress of this knowledge is
outside; and for trying to extend it in the House of
Commons, you might as well make a proposal for
teaching algebra. I have always maintained that the
main cause of the obscurity is from overlooking one
of the items of the account. For example, it is only
a few nights since a very eminent member of the
House, who may some day be Prime Minister, put
with great effect the case of the steam-boats
on the Thames, which carry the citizen for
fourpence as far as the old wherries did for
four shillings, and pointed out the certainty that the
difference was in the pocket of the citizen. But, if
he will excuse a question from " an older, not a
better, soldier," why did he stop exactly there? He
had proved a balance, but no more. Why, for in-
stance, should not the Member for Lincoln who
grieves over railways, ask him what good has
been done upon the whole, and why the suffer-
ings attendant upon change are to be incurred,
with the mere result of taking three and eight-
pence out of one man's pocket to put it into
another's ? I therefore take liberty to ask, whether the
Honourable Member did not halt exactly where it was
important that he should go on. I want to know, whe-
ther the citizen in the steam-boat does not expend that
identical three and eightpence as much as ever, on some
form of industry or another,—at Brussells I remember
supposing it the industry of pastry-cooks, which
has the advantage of being distinct and picturesque.
I want to know then, whether the account does not
stand thus. In the old state of things, four shillings
to a waterman for pulling me in two hours from
Blackwell to Westminster. Per contra, in the new,
fourpence to a steam- boat company for carrying me
the same distance in one hour, and three and eight-
pence to a pastrycook for a magnificent currant tart.
Now what I insist on knowing, is, first, whether this
does not make an exact balance as regards the indus•
try of the country from the expenditure of the four
shillings,' keeping the tart-eater out of sight ; and
secondly, whether under the new state of things,
the
tart-eater does not gain the tart. I hold to it, and
will for ever maintain it, that the " bucking" the
truth that the three and eightpence isjust as much
expended on the industry of tho country in the now
state of things as in the old, is the cause of all the
doubt which has hung about the question of free trade, and that the observation of it is the key which opens
all difficulties connected with the subject. If there
are pining wutermen for want of the three and eight-
pence, there are fattening pistrycooks, and, what is
the important', thing] which: turns the scale, there is
a citizen swallowing pastry for his money, instead of
swallowing nothing but the damp air of the Isle of
Dogs in a two hours' drag with sculls. This is what
nobody can be got to see. This is what I have
been laughed at by all sorts of men, political
economists included, for maintaining. And this is
what I mean to maintain to the end involves the
whole principle of free trade, and without it, we who
have supported free trade, have been babblers dis-
turbing the world without a cause.
Hence all artificial raising of prices for the sake of
giving more extensive profits or employment to those
who are to sell, is only taking from one man to give
to another as far as industry is concerned, and rob-
bing the consumer of the value of the difference for
love. And the conclusion is just as clear,.if instead of
steaui-boats is put the proposal for making wine in
hot-houses ; the result being that the balance among
the industries to be employed is
.just the same, only
the consumer in one case is to pay six instead of two
pounds for his wine per dozen, and have nothing for
the difference. If this is not true, we ought to close
railways, burn steam-boats, prohibit ploughs, forbid
omnibuses, blunt knives and take off the edge of
razors, make wine in hot-houses and grow cotton in
cucumber-frames, levy taxes to be spent in -fireworks
or digging holes and filling them up again, arid in all
possible manners take the way that gives most trouble
with the least result. In every one of these cases,
the reason why it should not be done lies simply in
the neglected fact, that the money would just as
much be expended on industry if all people were left
to take the course that is profitable to them. But
if this is true, then the refusing to employ
a foreign-built ship in order that you
may give a greater price for an English one,
is in a commercial view a piece of the same silliness
as to insist on making wine in hot-houses instead of
bringing it from Oporto. And it acts on you at
Bradford in two ways, besides your general interest
as consumers which might make a third. It obliges
you to use a dearer instrument for your foreign
trade,—for a ship is just as much your instrument as
a cart or waggon ; and it cuts you off from a portion
of your foreign trade, which is increased by all ,ex-
tension of transactions with foreigners, and dimi-
nished by their prohibition.
If you like to consent to the prohibition because it
cannot exactly be shown which is the piece in your
warehouses that is not to go abroad, it is for your-
selves to decide. Though, to my fancy, there would
be no mere reason in it, than in aslcing you to con-
sent to a sovereign being taken from your pocket,

Christopher Cape!,Alban's-p
, 1, St. lacs ; Lieutenant
Gilmore Burchell, Royal Artillery; and William Wil-
kinson, were brought before Mr. 'Hardwick, charged
with being found in a common gambling-house, Nu. 64,
St. James's-street, without lawful excuse.
Ali% Henry Beresford, superintendent of the C di-
vision, said, he produced his report, and the order of the
Commissioners of the Police to enter the house. About
a quarter-past two on Sunday morning he went to the
house %Situ a body of constables, and foiled the promises
to all appearance closed. Ho rang the bell several
times, and as no one appeared he directed one of the
constables to knock loudly on the door with a crow-bar.
After waiting a few minutes he commenced forcing the
door. This door was strongly secured
with an iron
chain, and gave them some trouble to break it open.
They then proceeded along the passage till they came
to a pair of folding doors covered with green baize,
also forced open, when witness entered a passage, and strongly secured with iron bars. , This door was
and
saw the defendants Charles Liley and Brown standing
at the bottom of the stairs. Witness ordered a con-
stable to secure them, while he proceeded upstairs, and
found all the other defendants in the first floor front
room. There wore two billiard tab'es in the room, and
'lights were burning over them. Witness then had the
whole of C.o defendants taken into custody, and con-
veyed to the station, where they were searched, but no
gaming implements found upon them. Witeess subse-
quently searched the premises, but could discover no
implements used in gaming.
Mr. Robarts, of Spring-e
gardens and Mr. Huddle-
stone, who attended for he defendants, contended that
the defendants must be discharged, as there was not the
least evidence offered to show that they had met for the
purposes of gambling.
Mr. HanDwicz said, in the absence of any technical
and legal evidence of the house being a common gaming
house, the present case could not be gone on with. He
must, therefore, discharge them.

WORSHIP-STREET.--(THISDAY )
THE before the
opening of the court, the office was literally besieged
by individuals anxious to obtain a sight of the indivi-
duals called Chartists, aho had, during yesterday, been
taken into custody fur riotous and disorderly conduct,
and with assaulting the police in the performance of
their duty.
Some of the defendants appeared with their heads and
faces much cut and swollen and covered with adhesive
plaister.
A sweep, named Samuel Neuman, was charged by
constable 214 N, with hooting and yelling at the police
whilst conveying their prisoners from the van into the
office at about half-past ten o'clock this morning. Ile
had been seen by witness, among the crowd, some time
previously, and was heard to say by a brother constable
that he should like to " run tho police through." He
was, however, at length laid hold of and brought into
the court.
Mr. HAMSIILL said that the defendant hall been in.
terrupting the police in the execution of their duty,
almost within the very walls of the court. lie should
therefore call upon him to find substantial bail for his
good behaviour for three calendar months.
The prisoner, in default, was locked up.
Robert Maigrie was charged by 172 N, with being one
of a mob, collected yesterday morning in Nova Scotia-
Bethnal-green, and with attempting to hurl a
stone at the police. One man was haranguing the mob.
Ile perceived the defendant pick up a stone and place it
in his pocket. The police were booted at by the mob.
Witness kept his eye upon the prisoner, stud presently-
saw him pick up another stone and place that
also in his pocket. The mob now removed
to an adjoining field, followed by the police,
and presently he saw the defendant withdraw
one of the stones from his coat pocket, and raise
his arm, and direc:ing it towards the police would have
burled it at them, but for his arm having been caught by
a policeman, who conveyed him to the station-house,
followed by some of the mob. Oa his way to the sta-
tion the prisoner pulled off his hat, and gave " three
cheers for the Chartists." The other stone was found
upon his person.
The prisoner acknowledged to having given " three
cheers for the Chartists," but said ho had no intention
whatever of injuring the police.
A host of other individuals similarly charged was
brought before Mr. Hammill, who desired that they
should be locked up until he should have considered
of their various sentences according to the amount of
their aggression.
THE LATE FIRE IN OLD-STREET-ROAD. BENEVO-
LENCE.—We are requested to acknowledge the receipt
of one sovereign by " F. P.," who desires it may be
placed for the benefit of the unfortunate sufferers by
the late fire in Old-street, St. Luke's. We have, ac-
cording to the wishes of the benevolent donor, banded
the same to Mr. Hammill, the sitting magistrate at the
above office, for that purpose.

Since Monday last the arrivals of country-killed Meat
for ihese markets have consisted of 320 carcases of
Beef, GO ditto of Mutton, 450 ditto of Lamb, 230 ditto
of Veal, and 390 ditto of Pork. The supplies on offer,
slaughtered in the metropolis, have been seasonably ex-
terlivica and of full average quality. Mutton has moved
off stetidi/y, at full prices. In those of Beef we have no
change to notice; but Lamb, Veal, and Pork have fallen
in value from 2d to, in some instances, 4d per Sibs, with
a very dull inquiry. Nearly 800 carcases of foreign
Mcat hare been disposed of.

MARRIAGE IN HIGH LIP E.—The marriage of
Count Pompeo Troili, Guardia Nobile of his holiness
Pius IX., with Miss Maria Hoare, the beautiful daughter
of Captain Richard Hoare R.N., and niece to Sir Hugh' R. Hoare, Bart. was solemnised -on Saturday at St.
James's Church. Piccadilly, the Roman Catholic ritual
having previously been complied with in the Catholic
chapel by the Right Rev. Dr. Wiseman, Vicar Apostolic
of the London district. The impressive ceremony was
performed in the presence of a select circle of the friends
of both families, and several foreign noblemen. The
happy pair early in the afternoon left the residence of
Mrs. Hoare, the bride's aunt, in St. James's-square, in a
chariot and four for the country, where they will pass
the honeymoon before leaving for Rome.
THE RIVER PLATE.--LIVERPOOL, SATURDAY,—
The Pl.cenix, Captain Rooney, arrived to-day with dates
from Monte Video to the 24th of March. Letters brought
by this vessel represent Monte Video as being in an
alarming state. Mr. Gore arrived in her Majesty's ship
Inconstant on the 18th, and Baron Gros in the French
steam-ship Magellan on the 19th. Her Majesty's steamer
Hydra, from Rio, had arrived at Monte Video. Dr.
Varela, editor of the Comercio del Plata, was stabbed at
his own door on the night of the 20th of March.
TROOPS FROM NEW Sour WALES.—CLIATRAM,
JUNE 3.—This day arrived at Fort Pitt, a detachment
of the 58th Regiment, consisting of ten men and one
sergeant, and eleven privates of the 99th Regiment, with
one woman, in charge of Lieutenant Michael Lionel
\Vestropp, of the 58th. Some of the men are blind, and
the majority are invalided on account of length of ser-
vice. These troops embarked at Sydney on the 9th of
January last, on board the barque Hamlet, Captain Wil-
son. 420 tons burden.

FIRE ON BOARD A SHIP IN TUE RivES —About
half-past four o'clock yesterday tifzernoon a tire of au
alarming character broke out on board the barque
Trubadah, lying in Lavender-dock, Rotherhithe. It
originated in the hold, from, it is supposed, some sparks
falling from a lighted pipe of tobacco amongst the
timber. In the course of a few minutes the floating
engines, with others of the London establishment,
arrived, and they were set to work, but to extinguish the
fire was a work of no little difficulty. By strenuous
exertions on the part of the firemen the flames were
eventually extinguished, but not until the vessel, which
was about 100 tons burden, and full rigged,
was seri-
ously damaged.

Bath on Saturday afternoon in consequence of the break-
xie prevailedto E AT
in
break-
ing out of a most alarming and destructive fire in the
large range of flour mills which adjoin the newly erected
go'ills sheds of the Great Western Railway, and which
are likewise situated in the almost immediate proximity
to that beautiful and costly work of engineering skill,
the skew wood bridge, by which the railway is passed
from the Bath viaduct across the River Avon. The alarm
of fire was first given at between two and three o'clock
in the afternoon, and the city engines and those belong-
ing to the di&rent insurance offices were protnptly
manned and conveyed to the scene of conflagra-
tion. The flour mills have a great deal of timber in
their construction, and the flames consequently spread
with such rapidity and violence that, at ono time, the
destruction of the goods sheds of the railway seemed
inevitable, and the skew bridge itself placed in great
jeopardy. The flames poured from the windows of the
the therai spot, t ,
mill against the goods shed, the windows of which were
broken, and the bilk of them ignited. The officials of
the Great Western Company exerted themselves to the
utmost, us did also the firemen and others; and the con-
flagration was at length got under, but not until the
interior of the mills had been entirely burnt out. A
and
pro-
perty was considerable; fortunately, however, it was not
large g e

JOINT-STOCK COMPANIES REG ESTR ATION.—On
Saturday was printed, by order of the House of Com-
mons, an abstract of the report of the Registrar of Joint-
stock Companies for the year 1847. In the year only
215 companies were provisionally registered under the
Act 7 and 8 Vict. c. no, an insignificant number com-
pared with the two preceding years. There were ninety-
eight compaLies completely registered in the year, Of
companies provisionally registered, but which had not
obtained complete registration as required, the number
was 178. The amount of fees paid at the head office in
London in the year amounted to 4,0551. 3s. 2d., and in
Dublin 100/. 12s. Bd.-4,155/. 15s. 101 Among the
companies which failed to obtain complete registration
was one called " Sanitary Fountains and General Ad-
vertising Company." Four fiats were issued in the year
against Joint-stock Companies, three of which were rail-
way companies and ono a cemetery company. In one
of the railway companies—Birmingham and Boston
Direct—the debts were returned at 5,059/. 6e. 10(1., and
the assets at 241. 10s.
"LIVE FEATIIERS."•-••111F. Dtac lullen, principal
inspector of the detective police in Manchester, haring
occasion to search the West Point emigrant ship, for a
party who had absconded from Manchester, and who, it
was strongly suspected, was concealed on board, found a
Feather bed which he thought was rather heavier than
such things are wont to be, and upon opening the tick
discovered a live man concealed amongst the feathers.
The fellow had been stitched up in the bed by some
rascally passenger broker, with the view of getting him
carried over to America as luggage. Ile had on his
• person two IL Irish notes and five shillings. Of course
the fellow was rather surprised at the discovery, and he
' was placed ou shore rather sooner than he expected.

HER _MAJESTY'S TIiEAT ,L:
Saturday was the last performance tar some time,
probably, of the Lucia. Until Thursday there will be
nu performance, on account of the melancholy observ-
ance of Tuesday, whilst we are happy to see that the
Monday and Wednesday, belonging to the other theatres,
will not be invaded. On Thursday will be performed,
for the first time, d'Aiaore, in which Mdlle. Lied
made her first .appearance in Stockholm this season,
with a success so remarkable that the details were at the
time copied in all the journals of the Continent. Still,
whatever the new characters she may assume, we con-
sider, as yet, that none can surpass Lucia, and such
appeared to be the opinion of the audience on Saturday
night. The house was crowded to excess: the boxes
had more than the usual number of fashionable tenants,
every stall was occupied, whilst the spectators in the
pit were wedged in immovably. Although it was the
fourth time consecutively that Lucia had been performed,
the plaudits and enthusiasm wero undiminished.
The performance was attended by the Prince Louis
Napoleon, his Excellency the Russian Minister, Baroness
Brunnow and Mademoiselle Olga de Lechner, his Ex-
cellency the Sardinian Minister, his Excellency the
Swedish Minister, his Excellency the Hanoveriau Mi-
nister, the Duke of Wellington, the Duke and Duchess
of Leeds and Miss Lane Fox, the Marquis of Clanri-
carde, the Marquis of Donegall, the Marquis of Ailes-
bury, the Marquis of Worcester, the Marquis and tlar-
chioness of Londonderry and Lady Adelaide Vane, the
