TO TUE SECRETARY OF THE BRADFORD

ItEFOR DJ ASSOCIATION.
Sir,—On Monday the debate was resumed on Eccle-
siastical Titles. With the exception of the speech of
Lord Ashley, it went to prove that the House of Com-
mons, like language, is for the concealment of ideas. If
the people of England feel any interest in the subject,
they must take it up out of doors, or submit to wade
through a dull farce by drilled actors, ending in disap-
pointment.

The debate was finally adjourned till Wednesday.
The first motion for adjournment led to a division of 364
to 59 against adjourning; which may in some degree be
taken as a measure of the final strength. So that the
Government have no want of strength in the House; arid
the only explanation of the meagre and frivolous Bill
by which they reply to the summons of the French Ge-
neral in Rome, is, that there is Puseyism in their
camp. No man seems to doubt that the Prime Minister
would do more if he could; and his looks confirm it.

After this division, the moment was chosen for moving
for leave to bring in a Bill for removing restrictions
upon Roman Catholics; which it was whispered in the
House was for the encouragement of monastic orders
ar.d a nasty celibacy, tor that is the appropriate term
for celibacy enforced upon masses of men. A respected
Catholic Member rose and declared that the English
Catholics did not want the Bill. The consequence of
all which was, that leave was given for this day six
months, by a majority of 175 to 35.
On Tuesday the Member for Buckinghamshire made
his motion on the still-beginning, never-ending subject
of the Distress of the Owners and Occupiers of Land.
They were distressed when they lived on the commer-
cial classes, and they are distressed when they have
ceased to live on them; and the only chance left to try,
apparently, is the effect which might be produced on
them by a good round indemnity given at their expense
to those who suffered by them before.
But there were points about the present motion de-
manding the attention of the commercial classes and the
public. It was introduced by the declaration, that all
idea of the restoration of what is called Protection was
given up for one or two years, till the dissolution of Par-
liament; and then, it would appear, it is to be taken up
with renewed hope and vigour. The declaration at the
same time did not preclude hits by the way, at Free
Trade being the restriction of British industry, and the
enormity of one class desiring to live upon the injury of
another. The danger from all this, is that the friends
of commercial freedom will be lulled into security, while
the other side will virtually carry on their operations
without relaxation. Nothing is clearer, than that in
this position of affairs, the League ought to " keep their
powder dry."
The debate was finally adjourned.
I am, Sir, your obedient servant,
AN OLD REFORMER.

Bromley—Lord Newark, eldest son of Earl Manvers ; and
Mr. Barrow, who is supposed to represent the tenant in-
terest. Lord Newark was nominated by Mr. Rolleston, who

producers. Lord Newark then made a profession of lase
political principles, and he was followed by Mr. Bartow.
Both avowed a strong adherence to a system of protection,

THE PAPAL AGGuessioN.—Yesterday, three Rom

signed by .. 4, 0 000 Roman Catholics of England, assuring her

Majesty, that the new contemplated
arrangements of tOt
Roman Pontiff, in this country, were purely of a spiritual
character. and that their allegiance to the person and throne
of their Sovereign had undergone no diminution. It was a
curious circumstance, that immediately after the document in
question had been presented to the Queen, a deputation from
the three Dissenting denominations, also had, an audience of
her Majesty, preparatory to laying , an addreds before her,
representing the Papal aggression as an encroachment on the
rights of the Crown, and calling on her Majesty to vindicate
her royal prerogative by crushing at once the assumption of
the Pope. After being thus engaged in work so directly'op-

taking of a dejeuster provided for the occasion.•—eitirerti4er.
