TO THE SECRETARY OF THE BRADFORD
REFORM ASSOCIATION.
(EVERY MONDAY AND 'WEDNESDAY.)
Sir,—On Monday the 2nd, significant tokens appeared
of a desire to escape from the promised Select Commit-
tee on the Income Tax; the whole pointing at the
probubility there always is, that an attempt on the part
of a few individuals to have things all their own way,
will end in their having something very different from
what they intended.

An opposition was raised to the Minister's three
years' Income Tax, on the, ground that it should only be
granted for one year and the interval should be ex-
pended in inquiring what could be done to make the
tax what the actors denominated " fair." It was
doubtful whether they knew what they meant
by the term ; or at all events whether they could
explain the causes or grounds on which the justice of the
denomination was dependent. But they were full of the
persuasion they could do something ; and so they threw
over the Minister's three years' Income Tax, by a ma-
jority of fourteen. And now there is considerable ap-
pearance that their turn is come to be thrown over
themselves. The Government does not vote against the
appointment of the Committee, but it is plain that no-
body is zealous for it but the mover. A month has been
quietly lost, since the Committee was first talked of ;
and the chance is consequently small, that much will
be done before the time comes round for debating the
subject in the House. The fact is, the Government had
rather see it debated there, than in a Committee. Their
reason probably being, that they know that in a Com-
mittee they cannot prevent the insertion of an active
majority of their enemies, whereas in the House they
will take their chance.

On the same evening the second clause of the Eccle-
siastical Titles Bill made such advance as consisted in ne-
gativing a couple of amendments by majorities of six or
seven to one; which is called reporting progress, and the
Committee sits again on Friday. The proposals for in-
sertions going beyond the measure of the Government,
were withdrawn.
On Tuesday thcre was no House. The zeal for volun-
teer revisions of the Constitution, is considerably damped
by the promise of the Government.
I am, Sir, yours very sincerely,
AN OLD REFORMER.
