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 5001. a year as Consul, whether there
is anybody for him to rule over or no. A Judge also is
appointed, at a coasiderable 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 be allowed to go to the coast of
Africa, and purchase negroes 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 of a slavery worse than death,
two Alger ine 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
tlihteenralatrqanusackreirpt
sotfanwdhsatuwp?
ahnedardprountestonadgaayin.
go and take them where we can get them." This is a
e
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
pow. We, have found out that a philanthropic object
which does not touch a man's pocket, or touches it the
,wrong way, is no concern of his. What, then, is
philanthropy?

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 bo supposed aimed
at mixing the question with other matters on which the
Free Traders could not be expected to agree. The clause
was finally lost by 70 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 strength. The only
substantial result of the night's debate, was the vigorous
declaration of Sir Robert Peel, of his determination to
maintain the integrity of his Law of 1844 in despite of the
Lords' Report; in which he was supported by the cheers
of both sides of the House.

TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN.

STR,—TTiere 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
to competitors in a genuine struggle, which draw men of
talent and industry to the schools of a (to them) heterodox
theology. No light testimonial this to the working of a
system which certain volunteer representatives of dissent in

we
shall have steps taken in the direction demanded by, but common sense. We do not want, however, not
of that violent interference from without, which would nYcoam-
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 have
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-
gi;ws teaching—leaving the amount digested, of course, to be
dttermined by the inherent vitality of the doctrine taught,
die persuasive powers of the teacher, and the capacity, or (I
write hastily) the swallow of the catechumen. It is this
ITllich has securedothe-confidence of a religiOue 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:lticational 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
Philoscphy, 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 Stonyhurstcs by an Independent from Homerton
College. De Morgan, Francis Newman, and Dr. Wiseman,
though 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.

FREDERICK WILLIAM GREEN,
(Oriel College, Oxford).

IRELAND.

DUBLIN, TUESDAY MORNING.—The Lord Chancellor has
issued the following important order, with a view to the im-
provement of the vast estates under the control of the Court
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 followiip this order by other changes in
the management of property in Chancery, which has been,
chiefly on account of the shortness of the tenure, about the
worst managed in the whole country :
"IN 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 I 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 fir
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 such
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 for 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 •
nears. The crowd followed thevan a short distance fioin 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
large room together, but at night each one retires to a cell
allutted to himself. They are supplied With writing mate-
rials, we understand, and have, therefore, the liberty of cor-
responding with their friends, the letters of course, subject to
a rigorous surveillance. The corps of officers belonging to the
house have been strengthened by the addition of a sergeant's
guard of the 13th regiment.

COURT OF BANKRUPTCY, August 22.

The certificate of the bankrupt, a Chartist leader, and
author of various works, was opposed by Mr. Duncan, on

supported by Mr. Sturgeon. The debts were 2,600/. ; the
assets about 2001.

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 341. worth. Spokes gave
him the bills to assist him in executing the order. On the
eve of bankruptcy he offered his creditors 201. 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 of
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. had 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 HoNonn decided that the examination must proceed.
Examination continued-The sale of the " Miscellany"_
had been 20,000. It fell to 10,000, and was, orth nothing.

Mr, DUNCAN here called Mr. Cuthbertson, but
upon which the Learned Gentleman no answer
was given ; eman put in the
witness-box a person to prove that he had duly served a
summons upon Mr. Cuthbertson to give evidence that day.
When the witness served it, Mr. Cuthbertson said h
he shouldhe was go-
ing to Edinburgh, and that 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 Hosous acceded to Mr. Duncan's applica-
tion, on the understanding that his clients should be respon-
sible for the expenses of the adjournment.
