the same disabled state, one of which had no person on

have required, but she was in want of no assistance.

TO THE SECRETARY OF THE BRADFORD
REFORM ASSOCIATION.
(EVERY MONDAY AND WEDNESDAY.)
Sir,—On Wednesday the 25th, an important Bill for
removing religious tests in the Scottish Universities was
lost on the second reading by a single vote (66 to 65)
in consequence of the non-attendance of Members who
consider themselves as destined for higher things than
watching the general progress of Parliamentary pro-
ceedings. It was said of the King of Prussia, that he
was as good a corporal as he was a general. And here
is an instance, where a measure of importance to the
interests of religious freedom might have been saved, if
only one of the great guns of the Liberal, party would
bave volunteered the humble office of assisting with a
vote.
On Thursday the House again met at twelve o'clock,
for the purpose of getting through the St. Alban's Bri-
bery Commission Bill. Great haranguing on the den-
gesous nature of Commissions, and the perils to " the
rights and privileges of Englishmen" incurred by inqui-
sition into bribery; all of which must be highly inte-
resting to the exiles who are living on John Dory at
Boulogne. Nevertheless the Bill, eith its dangers, wile
finally read a third time, and passed.
On proposing to go into Committee on Supply, the
question of Danish Claims, or what remains of it, was
brought forward and negatived by 126 votes against 49.
The Chancellor of the Exchequer made a considerably
vigorous defence, in the way of distinguishing the re-
intoning class of claims from those which had been
allowed; and as there must clearly be an end at some
time, there was every human appearance that it had
come now. There must be a limit somewhere, to what
a Chancellor of the Exchequer can be expected to dis-
burse for the sins of his predecessors.
In the Committee, some debate arose on an item of
2,4391. for Office of the Registrar of Merchant Seamen,
but as usual in such cases, wrapped up and complicated
with other sums so as to be invisible to all but a practised
eye.
It is with a strong sense of the comparative inutility
of such remarks, and the enormous difference there is
between what may be expected in the way of foresight
from individuals in their particular cases and from a
community, that any such subject is here entered me
But there are clearly twnpoints on which the evil principle,
the political Ahriman, is making qui9t progress, without
much of opposition, inasmuch as these who
could, will
not, and those who would, may not. And these two
points are, laying the foundations for returning to the
practice of impressment in the event of
a war, and for
lengthening the cords and strengthening the stakes of
the bloody wrong called
the right of Martial law, after
the manner of Kirke and Ciaverhouse. For a long
time, the British army was encouraged to murder and
" cat " its prisoners, on the ground that it was an ex-
tension of the law I.:y which a soldier is punished for
selling his necessaries, or deserting from his post. And
by way of enforcing the analogy, the same forms were
know;
ledge to be gone through. The progress of now;
ledge has blown up this trumpery pretence; end now the
ground taken, not so much by the military as by tile
legal advocacy "Co of the claim, is, that martial law is founcled
on the fact of its being no me." It is a thing
standing upon a vacuum; and as the earliest traces
of ideas are said to be found in poetry, it is pro-
bably the developement of the conception that " no-
thing is but what. is not." For such follies, we
must go through nature's course of cure, which
is experiment. Meanwhile, we must pay the doe-
ter's fees, s% hich consist in what may be made
for the " Anglo-Saxon" by the practice, together
with all the damsge and loss of fame which may accrue
to ourselves during the process. The English people
will be profoundly astonished some day, it they find the
soldier breaking in upon them with his " law because it
is no law." But what right will they have to complain,
when they have nursed the evil?
To return to the question of Registration, which is
perhaps more immediately interesting in your maritime
suburb of Hull than at Sun Bridge, I point out for those.
