ship Arctic, Captain Luce (of the Collins line) was
telegraphed off Holyhead, and has since arrived in
harbour.
The Arctic left the port of New York on the sth
inst., and has made her best recorded passage on this we
casion. She has advices to the day of sailing.
The number of passengers is 123, and the amount of
specie 986,000 dolls.
The steam-ship Baltic arrived at New York, from
Liverpool, on the day the Arctic sailed.
The money market at New York was much easier, the
arrival of two millions and a half dolls. in gold having
given more confidence to the market. Money was still
in active demand. The securities and stock quotations
are unchanged.
The market for breadstuffs was inactive, and prices
without change.
Io cotton there had been a fair amount of business
doing at New York, and former quotations were main-
tained firmly.

N oily three million dollars gold arrived at Panama on
the wq to New Yolk.
Son Francisco and Stockton had been both almost re-
built.
Tee mining accounts were very good. The mercantile
interest was r.ot reeuverirg so repidly as was expeced
for the late tire .
Late envies sate that the proviners of Paste and
ruquerres were in rebellion against Bogota, and Eau-
odor was likely to join. A battle had taken place,
in which the rebels had been dvleated, and fled to
Ecuador.

800,000 dolls. of silver on board.

TO THE SECRETARY OF THE BRADFORD
REFORM ASSOCIATION.
(EVERY MONDAY AND WEDNESDAY.)
Sir,—On Monday the 14th, the most interesting
occurrence of the evening was the Secretary for Foreign
Affairs reporting progress on the subject of the depres-
sion of the Slave Trade. It appears that after all the wail.
ings and prognostications to the contrary, the Govern-
ment and the squadron have maintained their position as
stoutly as the Crystal Palace, and like it are in the way
of putting their opponents to open rebuke. It has been
demonstrated in spite of the incredulous, that the Slave
Trade, like other trades, cannot resist being cruised
against,—that if you prick it, it bleeds, and bleeding
lets out its strength as in the case of other things not
boasting of the supernatural. To you and to your
naghbourtiood, the hotbed in olden times of the op-
position which still was young, the information cannot
fail to come with a pleasing sense cf the uses of perse-
verance, and the benefit of not being run down by the
clamour of the interested in a public evil.
On Tuesday, for the first time probably, an Ate.
torney-General was heard t h pray to be defended from
"judge-made law." It is many years since Bentham
opened the fire of his salaam on " judge-made law;"
and now the at.ack has wrought its way into the high
places of the Ministerial bench. So true it is, that no
good seed is ever lost.
In the evening came on the motion of Lord Naas for
a Committee of the whole House to take into considera-
tion the state the Milling Interest in Ireland. It
extended to a general movemett for the restoration of
the Core Laws, crowned by an intimation from one
quarter of something like a compensation to the
agricultural interest for losses endured. All parties
evinced the usual horror of principles. The Govern-
ment replied to small details by smaller. No word of
defence from the Free Trade benches. Such folly has
not been seen since the day. Eve ate the apple. You are
let down; you are surrendered; never was a gained
cause so thrown away. A side which will not defend
itself, which cannot be made to show, which allows
