ELOPEMENT.—We hate to record an elopement
this week; the gentleman from Althorp, the lady from the
Burringham side 9c the Trent. The partien were married at
Hull, which is a kind -of Gretna-green for all runaway
matches from Lincolnshire. In this case, it is said, steps
will be taken to try the validity of marriages thus solemnised.
They have been of ,uch frequent occurrence lately, that both
the Atchbishop of York and the Bishop of Lincoln have been
applied to for their interference to cheek the Hull clergy.—

TO THE SECRETARY OF THE BRADFORD
REFORM ASSOCIATION.
(EVERY MONDAY AND WEDNESDAY.)
Sir,--On Monday the 14th, the Assessed Taxes and.
Timber and Coffee Duties Acts were considered in Com-
mittee. Most important principles were developed and
laid down on the part of tho Government, which the
commercial and industrial community must, as I have
said before, be insane, if they do not view as indisput-
able reasons why they should defend the existing Go-
vernment as the apple of their eye. On the question of
the House Tax, there was of course the usual array, of
people not liking to pay taxes. It is impossible to
quarrel with the expression of this feeling; but we in
turn must not 'be quarrelled with for saying, there jo!
higher consideration for those who are capable of enter 's
taming it. Under the existing conviction that there

eration of the checks for that end

The alterations in the Coffee duties, brought out from
a young Member a curious resurrection of what we used
to hear at Corn-law meetings; and we have a fair warn-
irr, of what it is the Protectionists would give us. He
surnmcd up all the disadvantages of bail climate, bad soil,
and long voyage, which attend the procuring of coffee
from Ceylon, and pressed it on the wondering House as
the reason why we should volunteer to pay for the dearer
coffee.

On Tuesday was a lively debate on the Kafir War--
the play of Hamlet with the part of Hamlet omitted.
Everybody talked of all imaginable Kafir wars except
the present; the great point for concealment and non-
observation being, where the present Kafir war came
item. The cry of " irreclaimable savages" must have
reminded the 11011E0 of Bo:es story of the cook maid,
who runs at a strange cat with a red-hot iron, exclaim-
ing, " (J. that is one of the most dcceitfullest creatures
that is." The speech of the Member for Sheffield will
he nuts for the Aborigines Protection Society; only
they must not make the mistake the House did, in
taking it seriously. It is on record that some worthy
soul read Swift's " Advice to Servants," and said
there were many things in it he thought extremely
objectienable, and regretted a clergyman of the Mtab-
listimeut should have set his hand to such opinions.
The Member for Sheffield should have carried his
sober sarcasm further, by asking how irresistible it
would be, if the foreigners expected in this country,
should declare that the grand injustice was in coming at
all, and after that, it was pseudo-philanthropy . and
Exeter-hall hypocrisy to make objections to the conae-
quences. Everybody knebe the foreigners came here by
virtue of their improved acquaintance with the social
relations of man, and in pursuit of the greatest happi-
ness Valle)] was to result from establishing them. Every-
body knew, that whatever abstinence might be professed
acame for all our goods, and it was folly
tot first,saythey
theyshould not have them. We might lament
over the " prolonged agony" of the process, but the
true way was to keep our eyes fixed on the happiness
which was to be the result. It might be too, that the
invaders were Angio-Saxuns; and the rule is, that what
the Anglo-Saxon can, ho takes. There should be no
halting half-way iu a good juke.
The House, on rising, adjourned till Monday, 28th

I am, Sir, yours very sincerely,
