JEWISH DISABILITIES.
TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN.

Sift,— Ido not pea these few lines with any expecta-
tion of ever finding coasistency in human legislaion,
nor with any view of arguing the subject to which I am
about to refer; but I write merely to call your own at-
tention to what I have just read in your paper.
On the 3d instant, according to your Parliamentary
report, Sir Robert Inglis opposed the admission of Jews
into our Legislative Assembly because they were
" "fit to legislate for the Christianity of the count; y,"
and because ho consalered it his duty to " maintain the
Christian innterest intact in the Legisiature," thus ac-
the House of Commons the right place for
religious law-making. On turning, however, to another
column of
very next evening
the same paper I find the Hon. Baronet on the
opposing Sir 13. Hall, and "protesting
against this House being made the arena of any religious
discussion, because it c9ntained in it men who were not
fitted for legislation on any subject connected with the
Church."
Now, Sir, not merely does gross inconsistency thus
attach to Sir It. Inglis, and all of like sentiments, but I
shoal like to know who it is has made the payment of
church-rates and other ecclesiastical dues obligatory on
me if our law-makers are thus " unfit to legislate on any
subject corrected with. the Church?" You, Sir, can
treat these inconi,istenciea and fooleries and oppression
and hypocricies with less indignation than myself, and
therefore I leave them with thiit, s short condemnation.

TO THE SECRETARY OF THE BRADFORD
REFORM ASSOCIATION.
(EVERY MONDAY AND WEDNESDAY.)

Sir,—On Wednesday the 2nd came the question of
the second reading of the County Franchise Bill. No-
body doubts that the extension of the county franchise is
a good thing, as it is a good thing for a man to open his
doors and go away to his work by six o'clock in the
morning. -But if the man have got a hint that an enemy
is waiting to enter and take possession, he will be a wise
man if he defers the opening till nine.
This is precisely the present case. There are clear
indications that the County Franchise Bill is pushed
.
forward, not -with a view to promote the obtaining its
object, but to serve some project of the actors, involving
the weightiest loss and damage to the ultimate pros-
pects of progress in the direction professed, even to the
extent of driving out the Government which has engaged
to move in the direction desired, and bringing in one bit-
terly opposed to it.
For my own share in this business, I fall back upon
professional prejudices; and if you bject to them, you
ought to have considered it before you elected me. I
won't give up my post. I was sent to Parliament to sup-
port Free Trade and the Extension of the Suffrage. And
though it has been grief and bitterness of heart to me to
see how the first of these causes in particular was aban-
doned to the enemy,—to see how the golden opportunities
for exploding the blunders and fallacies of the Protec-
tionists during three sessions of Parliament have been
thrown away, and now the question is to be brought to
the test of a General Election while one side has been
casting away its advantages, and the other has been
fighting up its cause from day to day with all the vigour
which great talents, great interests, and great influence
can command ;—though I have been doomed to see this
without being able to help it, because when one set of
advocates have been sent to the House of Commons as
the declared. supporters of a cause, the House will not
tolerate the interference of an interloper in the shape
of a borough representative who makes his appear-
ance in the following Parliament;—though to all
this I may be obliged to submit with such patience
as I may, I will not be cajoled into giving up
my post and entering into a plan for bringing in
a Protectionist Government, by any representations of
the good that is to arise to anybody from fighting the
Corn-law question over again, or the excellent men who
are to be brought into notoriety and power as the final
result of thus throwing the thing away when we have
got it.
lam not inclined to mince the subject. If ever
there was a political party that deserved to be beaten,
it is what calls itself the Free-Traders. They have
wooed and courted defeat and the restoration of their
enemies, by acts both of omission and commission. The
latter part begins to explain the former. Without
charging them with anything beyond human infirmity,
they have allowed themselves to be bewildered by the
phantom of some power which they could never wield, and
which no substantial portion of the community would
trust them with for a fortnight; and for the sake of this
phantom, like the unhappy dog in the fable, they have
been content to give up the meat that was in their
mouths, and try the chances of restoring your bitterest
enemies to power. And all the time they have been thus
engaged, their opponents have been sowing the seeds of
strength, by quietly rallying all whom a sense of indivi-
dual interest could collect to their banner, planting their
dogmas in Parliament with the reputation of being un-
confuted and unanswered, and displaying all the qua-

lities of foresight, perseverance, and diicreiion,whichare
equally at the command of a bad cause and a good. I
say 'again, if the merits of the combatants on the two
sides were to settle it, you would all have to turn into
the poor-house, that Lord Stanley and his regiment
might take the bread out of your mouths.
I confess to having been once under the delusion, that
the commercial community of England under its actual
organization was competent to find rulers for the State.
Tyre, Carthage, Venice, Genoa, Holland, floated before
my eyes, and made me believe in the possibility of such a
consummation. The single fact that they lied not the
genius to maintain their post while they had it, has
plunged me into the lowest depths of that change of mind
which constitutes repentance and conversion.
I have been told I said a strong thi❑g on one part of
the subject. I 'laid I had as lief see London six weeks in
the occupation of a foreign enemy, as the Protectionists
six weeks in power ;—that though the evil might be more
concentrated, it would not be greater in amount. I
used the obsolete but thoroughly English phrase,
on purpose to be able to swear to it; and I am
here to maintain the literal truth of the assertion. That
there would be great suffering, fearful loss of life, before
the one conclusion was arrived at, nobody can deny. But
what would be the suffering, what the loss of life, if you
and all who stand in your position throughout this wide
country, were to be starved down to the measure of Pro-
tectionist permission to exist? Have I not seen the
Siege of Bolton? Do I not know bow the weak among
you must die in holes and corners, under lingering
courses of thin porridge in which a little arsenic would
be a mercy ? And have I not the power to calculate
how far the total of the suffering thus spread like nau-
seous butter over the surface of the land, would ex-
ceed the lump, however disgusting, which could be
temporarily concentrated in the limited area in the other
case supposed? No; if we were to have our choice
like David, let us fall into the hands of all and anybody
rather than of such men, as those who call themselves the
Free-Traders are at this moment eager to bring into
the Government. I am glad to see an evening paper
(Globe) repeating my figure of speech, and a noble Duke
giving it vogue by referring to it at a political dinner.
He does not seem to have quoted from a verbally correct
report; and if he had, I should have disabled his infer-
ence, by asking what reason there was for concluding
me disposed to do the Lord's work slackly, in either of
the cases which were presented as parallel.
Liberal after Liberal, men of undoubted attachment
to the cause they profess, rose to implore the mover not
to persist in his motion; and he ended by an indecisive
kind of declaration, that he would not personally de-
mand a division. But the power that is behind, did it
for him, and not more than one or two known Liberals
had the resolution to resist the imposition by voting
against it. The morsel prepared for us is this. A party
blinded by some prospect of power or influence to accrue
to themselves, shape a motion for a purpose laudable
in itself, but under circumstances where it is visibly
intended to do mischief and bring in en enemy.
And then we are to be asked on our allegiance, to
swallow the pill. It is exactly the case formerly pre-
sented. An a❑emy stands at your door at six in the
morning and says, " Now as you value the reputation
of an industrious hard-working man, go to your work
and lot me in." And this is what is to be presented to
us, as often as may suit. Though the presenter should
clothe himself as an angel of light, I will do again as I
did before, and vote against every thing that is hostile
to the permanent interest of my constituents.
In the " Votes and Proceedings" of Thursday, is a
curious mistake ia the notice of a Petition from Brad-
ford. It is found commemorated under the head of
" Slave Trade," as a Petition for " suppression of the
slave trade in the United States of America ;" the fact
being, that it was a Petition for interference in behalf of
British seamen taken out of their ships in ports of
America, and imprisoned during the stay of their vessels,
on account of their complexion. As mistakes
will happen in the best-regulated families, this
may be set down as a clerical error; and you
will see the matter correctly reported in the ac-
count of Petitions in the morning papers, as notably
the Times and PoNt. On the whole, however, it might
not be amiss, if some who were not engaged in the pre-
sent Petition would petition again, either in the same
terms or with such amplification as should make a re-
petition of the mistake impossible.
On Friday the Chancellor of the Exchequer brought
forward his altered Budget. His progress was a tri-
umph. The Free-Traders, with the exception of their
accredited leaders, gathered round him, and avowed the
contest to be, between raising the public supplies from
the rich and from the destruction of monopolies, and
raising them from a tax on bread. It was quite sur-
prising to see the number of Members who turned out
in support of the principle of an income-tax; I had no
idea the truth had made such way. The moment is
critical for the working classes, who aro in the act of
rising in political power and importance. Either they
will know that it is their battle that is fighting, or they
will not. According to the knowledge they display on
this subject, and the course they take in consequence,
will depend whether they shall gain or not by the pre-
sent tide which is in their favour.

On one point I want to answer what I think a fallacy,
thrown in the way of the working classes. An Hon.
Member who is a great advocate for applying money to
the reduction of the national debt, advanced, in perfect
sincerity and conviction there can be no doubt, that the
working classes were not interested in the taxes being
paid by the rich instead of by themselves, because what
was taken from the rich was so much taken from what
they could expend upon the working classes. Now in
this I observe the mistake, of not perceiving that
though not expended on the working classes by the rich
from whom it is taken, it is expended on them by the
Government that takes it. Put the case for instance
which the West Riding ought perfectly to understand,
that £O,OOO/. is taken from the rich, and expended on
soldiers' clothing. Is there any consequence in the ag-
gregate, but that tenter-hooks at Leeds and Halifax
blush scarlet, instead of displaying the cooler variety of
sad colours? And when Hon. Gentlemen tax the
country to the amount of what would fit out thirty sail
of the line, to spend upon a baby-house which has not
room for the members of the House; of Commons when
it is done, is there any doubt of the money being spent
upon the working classes, though not in the same places
as if it bad been left with the owners? In confirma-
tion of which, you shall sometimes hear men advo-
cating taxation on the ground that it raises money to
be spent upon the working classes. The evil then is not
here at all, but in the fact that the taxed get nothing
for their money, which they would have done if allowed
to spend it their own way. I therefore beg the working
classes not to ask to pay the taxes themselves, upon the
strength of this argument. _

The Resolution for raising the Supply, passed without
a division; though the Protectionists threaten that on
black Monday they will do what they will do, on bring-
ing up the Report. I think their chance is over. There
wants nothing but sticking to them in the House of
Commons till the next General Election,—doing in short
everything which has not been done hitherto,—to make
it perfectly safe to trust to the decision of the country on
the wretched fallacy of what they call Protection to
British Industry, by which they mean robbing Bradford
to give the amount to themselves, and robbing the com-
munity for love besides. _ _ _

In Conclusion, I will beseech you to'remember, that the
condition of this life is, that those who will not keep a
thing when they have got it, shall have it taken from
them. For the sake of those poor souls who are marked
to perish if in spite of warning, in spite of entreaty, the
citadel of Free Trade is given up by a determined, reso-
lute, cold-blooded opening of the doors to the enemy and
forcing him to come in, I would implore of you to bestir
yourselves in time if there is anything in your
power to do, and not leave the cause we have
toiled for, the cause we have won, the cause in which
you and yours are as deeply concerned as human history
can show, the cause by which all other reforms are hang-
ing, to bo sacrificed to any man's visions of better things
that are to come for anybody, by throwing the whole
again into the lottery of war.
I am, Sir, yours very sincerely,
AN OLD REFORMER.
London, 7th April, 1851.

GENERAL KLAPKA AND LORD
LYNDHURST.
TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN.

SIR,—In Lord Lyndhurst's speech, delivered in the
House of Lords on the 27th of Mara, there is a passage
running as fellows:— _ _

" But this is not all. I have a case still more striking
to bring under the consideration and attention of Go-
vernment. There is another central committee in this
city—where the branches meet I know not—who style
themselves the Central Committee of Hungarian Re-
fugees. One of the leading members of this committee
is a person named Klapka, an officer who served in the
insurrectionary war in Hungary, and who commanded
the fortress of Comorn at the close of that war. Your
Lordships are aware that a large body of Hungarians
were driven from Austria into Italy, and were incorpo-
rated into the Austrian army in Lombardy. Avail-
ing themselves of this object, this committee have
lately issued a proclamation, addressed to those
Hungarians, and couched in language of a most
inflammatory character, and containing topics also
of a most inflammatory and exciting description, calling
upon them to desert their ranks, pointing out to them
how they could do this most effectually and most de-
structively to Austria, instructing them how to act in
the event of a war, what signals would be made, and
what co-operation they would receive. This proclama-
tion is signed by the individual to whom I have referred,
General Klapka; and a more flagrant violation of the
protection afforded to a refugee I cannot conceive."
Although I formerly disdained refuting certain mis-
representations made by M. von Manteuffel in one of
the Prussian Chambers, who was pleased to transpose
me to Schleswig-Holstein, yet I feel obliged emphati-
cally to contradict any untruth uttered in either of the
Houses of the British Parliament. Accordingly, I
declare--

1. For more than a twelvemonth I have not been
living in London, nor am I either one of the leaders, or
even a member, of any of the committees mentioned by
Lord Lyndhurst
2. I never addressed a proclamation to the Hungarian
soldiers in Italy calling upon them to desert their ranks.
Nobody who knows my character will think me cap-
able of an advice calculated, under the present circum-
stances, to sacrifice and deliver those unfortunates to
ruin and still greater misery. I declare any procla-
mation of the kind, if there be any, as altogether
false, or trumped up, perhaps, by the agents of
the Austrian police. Lord Lyndhurst's remarks,
therefore, rest upon:mere fictions, and it is only a wonder
that the Noble Lord should have forgotten his mission
and high situation, which ought to have preserved him
from becoming a tool for the intrigues of the Austrian
police. I leave to the English people to appreciate his
Lordship's disavowal of their own history and principles,
which some centuries ago laid the foundation of their
present greatness and glory. So much for the refuta-
tion of unprovoked calumny ! So far from being over-
awed by such and similar proceedings, and the despi-
cable snares of the Russo-Austrian police, I shall
never cease doing what I hold suitable to the interest
and deliverance of my oppressed and unhappy father-
land, as far as I can do so without violating the laws
of that country where I met with an hospitable recep-
tion. I have the honour to be, Sir,
Your obedient servant,

REPRESENTATION OP AYLESBURY.-ATLBSDURT,
APRIL 5. This morning (Saturday) being market day
brought together an unusual concourse of our townsfolk, it
being understood that the suffrages of the electors were
to be solicited by three candidates all on the spot—Mr.
Bethell, Q.C., Mr. Ferrand, and Mr. Houghton, the same
who had contested the borough on extreme opinions in op-
position to Mr. Calvert. The extravagance of Mr. Fer-
rand's views, and the violence with which he enforces them,
are well known, and as Mr. Bethell has come forward on
moderate principles, the Liberal party have prevailed on Mr.
Houghton to retire from the field rather than run the risk
of suffering Mr. Ferrand to slip in through any division of
forces in the opposite camp. On the Papal question, Mr.
Bethell, in his address, declares himself utterly " opposed to
the establishment of a Popish hierarchy." " Believing it ne-
cessary to maintain the measures which have lately afforded
the largest field to commercial and manufacturing enter-
prise, he is still keenly alive to the necessity of adopting every
step to relieve the agricultural community from every undue
burden." He adds, that "he presents himself unfettered
by any pledges, and stands before them an independent
candidate for their suffrages." The contest .promises to be
a severe one ; though, as far as an opportunity has yet
offered of canvassing the town, Mr. Bethell's reception has
been most flattering, influential persons of all parties appeal-
ing anxious to sink their differences in order to secure the
services of so distinguished a candidate. It is thought that
even the more ardent supporters of Lord Stanley's policy,
cautioned by their Noble Leader at the recent banquet, that
" true prudence and true statesmanship point not at the
hasty reversal of all that is done," will be reluctant to em-
barrass their cause by entrusting it to the keeping of Mr.
Ferrand.

the Duke of Bu Buckingham, comes forward on Protection'sot
principles.
ST. PAUL'S
ILLNESS OF THE BISHOP OF LONHoN.--
CHURCH, KNIGHTSIRIDGE.—In consequence of a general
belief that the Bishop of London would preach y_esterday,
the most eager anxiety was manifested by the par ishoners to
• •
hear the Right Reverend Prelate, and the congregation was
the largest ever known to have assembled utMr. Liddell

b
having ascended the pulpit and selected s text, said that
morning his Lordship was to have occupied the pulpit, and
to have addressed the congregation. Illness, however, which
prevented the Bishop from leaving his home, would deprive
the parishoners for a time of his pastoral advice. It was a
subject which they would deeply regret, and he begged his
parishoners to; join him in prayer that the health of their
respected diocesan might speedily be restored. Mr. Liddell
proceeded to say that he would take that opportunity of ad-
ding a word or two on the subject of the changes which had
taken place in the mode of performing the services of that
church. For some time past ceremonies had been observed
at St. Paul's to which many persons were attached, but
which had been altered since his connexion with the district.
.1 Je trusted the congregation would not blame him for the
c banges which had been made. It was not by his own au-
tl tority the alterations had been effected ; all the alterations
h; id been made on the suggestion or at the request of the
Bishop of London, who had expressed himself wilting to take
all. the responsibility.
