ro THE SECRETARY OF THE
BRADFORD REFORM ASSOCIATION.

Sir,—On Monday, June 5, came on the long-
expected attack upon Ministers on the subject of the
Spanish correspondence. After a prolonged debate,
the object was negatived without a division ; the
whole thus amounting to a sham-fight by the Tories
for the entertainment of their pretender to the throne
of Spain, who was understood to be seated under the
gallery.
In the days of the struggle with Don Carlos, a
British prisoner was not put to death, without its
being suggested, encouraged, and defended, by the
then tenants of the Tory benches. It is a new Par-
liament, and new men ; and the virulence of the
olden time no doubt is considerably softened down.
Nevertheless the animus of political parties survives.
The explanation of most that has taken place, is that
Punch in Spain is played by men holding
the strings here. On the catastrophe of Louis
Philippe in France, the British Ambassador
communicated to the Spanish Government
the most wise and sensible advice in the com-
mon interest, which one set of responsible men could
forward to another. That Government, evidently
taking counsel with some Englishman of the calibre

of the writers of leading articles for the provincial
Tory press, returned an insolent and angry answer.
The English Minister replied by a sort of parody of
the Spanish argument, which, though cutting, was in
every word most just. The Spanish commentaries
reiterate the evidence of English origin. The author
of the passage from the Ileraldo printed in the Par-
liamentary papers, assuredly never ate garlic ; the
thing is of English concoction throughout. And
then the Conservative benches turn round on the un•
happy Spaniards, and declaim upon the "gross out-
rage and "flagrant insult" received by the English
Government, precisely in the manner of men nursing
a duel. The end of this last policy clearly being to
get up a quarrel with the existing Government of
Isabella in Spain, and so far favour the chances of
the rival for the throne who sits to hear.
On Tuesday, on the subject of Ragged Schools, Lord
Ashley made a good speech ; in proof of which, every-
body tried to repeat as much of it as he was able.
There are unexpected points in the natural history of
the hoino fur, the male and female of the classes who
are born to thieving and dirt as their inheritance. If
taken young, they appear to be capable of being re-
claimed, and even of making more rapid progress than
the average of the tamer races. But the steps by
which they submit to domestic life, are described as
immeasurably grotesque.

THE CHINESE JUNK, " liErniG."—This interest-
ing and novel exhibition, which has been honoured by
a special visit from her Majesty, H. R. H. Prince Albert,
the Queen Dowager, &c. continues to be daily visited
by a large number of persons, including a considerable
portion of the nobility. Amongst others may be men-
tioned the Prince of Prussia, Prince Edward of Saxe
Weimar, Prince Paul Of Wirtemburg, Prince Metter-
nich, the Dukes of Wellington, Leinster, Northumber-
land, the Duchess of Northumberland, the Dowager
Duchess of Bedford, the Countesses of Wilton, Eglin ton
and Blessington, Lady Lyndhurst, the Marquisses of
Anglcsea, Douro, Donegal, and Breadalbane, the Earls
of Auckland, Sheffield, Strathmore, Zetland, Wilton,
Lords Hastings, Hill, Lyndhurst, Adolphus Fitzclarence,
Paulet, Denman, A. Puget, C. Paget, and Bridport, the
Bishops of Durham, Lichfield, Worcester and Salisbury,
Count D'Orsay, the Honble. Capt. Seymour, Miss Bur-
dett Coutts, Madlle. Jenny Lind, &c. &e. The vessel,
surrounded by an ample enclosure, lies in the East India
Docks, adjoining the Railway terminus and Brunswick
Pier, 131ack wall, and is easily accessible either by rail-
way, omnibus, or steamboat from all parts of the metro-
polis. The "Keying" is the first vessel of Chinese con-
struction that has ever reached Europe, or even rounded
the Cape of Good Hope; and being in every respect as
dissimilar as possible to vessels of European construction,
and manned by a Chinese crew under the command of
a mandarin, Sic., it forms an object of rational and very
interesting curiosity, and will, doubtless, prove one of
the most attractive exhibitions in the metropolis.
THE LATE Flub IN WHITECHAPEL.—Yesterday
afternoon, a lengthened investigation was held at the
London Hospital, before Mr. W. Baker, coroner for East
Middlesex, concerning the death of John IN Lite, aged
40, a labourer, who lost his life by the falling of the
ruins of the large chicory manufactory of Messrs. Brown
and Co., in St. Mary's-street, Whitechapel, which was
destroyed by fire on the night of Tuesday. After a long
investigation, the Jury returned a verdict " That the
deceased lost his life by the accidental falling of a wall,
but that the jury considered that blame was attached to
Mr. Frederick Gower in having deceased
employed the
in the conduct of the works relating to the fire, whilst
the premises were in great danger from the walls being
liable to fall." The inquisition, worded thus, was then
signed, and the jury were dismissed.
