TO THE SECRETARY OF THE BRADFORD

REFORU ASSOCIATION.

the 19:h, some prccecdinks
were taken
en ilnVethile
the way
y of providing for the removal
of Smithfield Market. The subject trust to a cer-
tain extest be known at Bradford through the intrir-
vention of Punch. Even the inhabitents of your
distant town must have some conception, that when
they come to London, it would be convenient that
they should not meet fat bulls of Basan trampling
through the principal thoroughfares, and charging
over the bridges, followed by a detachment of parish
boys taking their first out-door lessons in the plea-
sures of malevolence. I am certain that it the
citizees would leave the matter to your northern
genius, you would suggest that the sensible site for a
live cattle market, was to place it on the circumference
of the densely occupied ground, where land is com-
paratively cheap, with access by sea, and a passage
to the other side of the river which it might use
without marked inconvenience to the public: all of
which is only a description of the ground in the
neighbourhood of the Commercial Road, with the
Thames Tunnel stretching out its arms and crying
" Come use me." The access by sea, is of daily in-
creasing importance ; for the fact happily is, that
there is a growing importation of cattle from abroad,
which at the same time gives cheap beef to the Lon-
doners, and is paid for with Bradford goods, as by
this time I hope I have taught your little boys to
know.

On Thursday great events began to show them-
selves above the horizon. Mr. Locke King moved
for leave to bring in a Bill to make the Franchise in
counties in England and Wales the same as that in
Boroughs, by giving the right of voting to all the
occupiers of tenements of the annual value of ten
pounds. The explanation came out slowly, and there
was evidently something that nobody was anxious to
say. The first thing which might occur to a super-
ficial observer, was that it looked like a repetition of
the blunder in admitting the Chandos clause. But
by degrees the principle appeared admitted, that in
most cases the less a man's rent, the less he is under
the influence of his landlord, and that the occupiers
of ten-pound houses not in boroughs, are principally
small tradesmen, who if they were turned out of one
house would take the next and be no worse. A con-
firmation of this was, that the agriculturists and
Conservatives showed no intention of supporting the
proposal.

The Prime Minister in replying announced his
intention next session to propose a Bill for the Exten-
sion of the Suffrage. So here is a new Reform Bill
within view, to set off against the efforts of the Pro-
tectionists at the General Election. The reason for
the Bill's being deferred was plain enough, namely
that it should have time to work, and there should
not be a General Election now. Upon so fair a state-
ment, policy and courtesy would have prompted not
pressing the proposed Bill. But there is little of
either among Reformers. A vague desire to try a
Protectionist Government, like the little boy wh•
puts his toy into the water to see if it will swim,
appears to be their leading guide. Everybody knew
there were a hundred Reformers in the House, and
scarcely anybody else. So they had the pleasure of
carrying their motion by 100 against 52. Reform
will come, like heaven, when it pleases God. But
truly it will be of grace and not of works.
On Friday considerable sparring on the subject of
Puseyism. What is plain is, that bishops are kept to
do very little, even when they are disposed to act.
At half-past five the Prime Minister rose and put
off the consideration of the Budget till Monday.
Nobody seems to have any certain clue to the cause.
1 am afraid it threatens Bradurn goods being at a dis-
count. If this i 3 the end, the fault is with those whom
nothing else would serve. You will have the Pro-
tectionists on you yet; and the Free Trade and
Radical leaders have done all they could to promote it.
Why did they du you this mischief ? It may be
sport to them, but it is death to you, who in six
months will be all on thin porridge as the result.
The Incotne-tax too, as I have often told you, is an
effort to make the rich pay a portion of the taxes ; and
see how, when a Government proposes it, the men
sent on preterce of guarding popular interests, rush
to expel the Government that takes your part.
The House immediately afterwards adjourned.
On Monday night more will be known, for which
you must with patience wait.
I am, Sir, yours very sincerely,
AN OLD REFORMER.
London, 24 Feb., 1851.

liamentary dinner on Saturday The following gentlemen
were present :—Mr. Disraeli. Bankes, Mr. Herrics, Mr-

The Right Hon. Sir Francis T. Bering has caused
a notice to be put up at the Admiralty, that he will not re-
ceive officers on Tuesday next, the 25th instant, the day in-
tended for holding his first levee.

The Rev. llibbert Binney, Fellow and Tutor of
Worcester College, Oxford, is appointed Bishop of Nova
Scotia.

We are informed th!lt, had the discussion on the
income-tax been proceeded with on Friday evening, the fol-
lowing resolution, as an amendment, was to have been
moved by Mr. Disraeli:—" That the tax upon property and
income having been proposed with a 'rim to supply a then
existing deficiency in the revenue, that deficiency having
now ceased, and an actual surplus now appearing, the said
surplus shall be applied to the reduction of the said in-
come-tax."

THE ORDNANCE ESTIMATES roil. 1851-52.—Th°
total estimated amount which will be required to defray the
expenses of the ordnance department, including the non-
effective services for the year 1651-52, is 2,4 ..1,4971.—viz.,
2,238,Z49/. for effective services, and 173,248/. for non-effec-
tive. The amount voted in 1850-51, was 2,434,4171. The
increase for 1651.52, compared with the preceding year, is
30,2831., and the diminution 55,2031., making the nett de-
crease 22,920/. for the coming year. The 30,283/. increase
is on account of works, buildings, and repairs at home. The
following are the deductions :—Commissary and barrack sup-
plies, 5,580/. ; ordnance-office, 11,0111. ; establishments at
home, 8,0761 ; wages, 6,203/. ; ordnauces stores for land and
sea service, 16,7221.; scientific branch, 1,150/.
DON'T BELIEVE IT UNLESS You LIRE.—It has
been ramoured that Messrs. Pickford and Co., the great car-
riers, have been desired to send in a tender for the carrying
of all the Government measures during the present session.
It is expected the saving of time and expense will be prodi-
gious, if the arrangement can 'be effected; for it is found
that there is nothing so dear, scow, and uncertain, in carry-
ing the Government measures, as the present Parliamentary
train.—Punch.
