TO

THE SECRETARY OF THE BRADFORD

REF ORAL ASSOCIATION.

Sir,—On Wedneiday ---tbe 12th, the debate was re.
sumed on the question of bringing in the Ecclesiastics:
Titles Bill, and adjourned at Six of the clock.
On Thursday the debate was renewed on the " Dis.

tress of the Owners and Occupiers of Land." Sir
James Graham made what, without borrowing from the
hackneyed epithets used in the press till they become in-
significant, may be called a crushing speech. He did
the work which the Leaguers ought to do and don't.
He earnestly pointed out the fact of a coming storm, not
the less dangerous because preceded by a deceitful calm.
He urged the palpable certainty, that the veritable
meaning of the proposed motion was, to defer the effort
to restore Protection till the dissolution of Parliament,
and in the mean time to be laying the foundations for
the success of that effort. He recited the strong reasons
for hoping that such an effort might not succeed ; and
did the vverk the League or Leaguers ought to have
been doing every day and every hour, of clearing and
enforcing the interest the powerful and the
numerous classes had in opposing its success. No
instance has been seen, of such an exemplification of the
ancient fable of the Tortoise and the [lure, rts has fa en
given by the commercial and manufacturing interests in
Parliament. No system of answering the stream of fal-
lacies perpetually poured out from the Protectionist
benches. No advantage taken of the opportunity held
out in the House of Commons, of discrediting the ope-
rations of the adversary, by exploding every one on its
first appearance. It might almost be supposed that the
object was to get up another contest, for the sake of the
results of another victory. Those that might, will nut;
and those that would, may not.
The division, which was only carried against the Pro-
tectionists by 281 against 267, shows on how narrow a
base the safety of the community is allowed to rest. I
adhere to an expression in a letter to you a few days
ago, that the word of the Minister is all that stands be-
tween the commercial interest and defeat. Should any
circumstance, a nervous headache or a sleepless night,
induce the Minister to waver, or drop au unadvised and
perhaps misinterpreted phrase, the enemy would be upon
us and at our heehe On the night of the division, it was
not at all certain dint the Government was not de-
feated, end there were even sinister whispers to that
effect passed round the lobby. If it had been
so, there would have been a dissolution
of Parliament, and ifurrah for the restoration of the
Corn-
jaws. There are those will shake their heads, and
say " What then?" Bat this is not the way men reason
and act in the or insrY concerns of life. No man says,
al
" Let in the housebreaker or the plunderer, for then
there will be a rally of everybody in the house, and he
will be driven out again. " Men keep him out when he
is out. They takemeasures for breaking up his haunts,
and his sources of strength and encouragement. They
try the chances of amendment in himself, and they throw
before him the temptations of an honest industry, in the
hope of tempting ,him into the easier way. The last
thing they still think of is to invite him, in order that
they may drive him back again.
The majority of the Government is not virtually smal-
ler than on the lest occasion, but the contrary. That is
stated to have been 21; and calling the difference 8,
more than half that number of Irish Members may be
considered as hiving avowedly voted against the Govern-
ment through pique at the interference with the Pope's
movements, and a number more, English, Irish, and
Scotch, voted through confidence in the verbal arrange-
ment of the motion, which may be allowed to have been
suffi-dent to deceive even the elect. There are always a
number of Members, who as if in emulation of that happy
disposition in a horse which is described as looking tor
something to" shy" at, appear to tie on the look-out
for anything which will present to them the opportu-
nity for being deceived.
On Friday the debate on the Eeclesiastical Titles As-
sumption was brought to a division, which will tell at
Rome both on the powers military and clerical there
established. A majority of 395 against 63 is some-
thing like a " great fact," and may be set off spinet
many assurances that the mass of the English people
wanted either the Pontiff or his Gallic body-guard to
help them to manage their affairs. The thing, though
troublesome, will not be without its good. It will have
shown the dispositions, and the capacity, of actors of
various denominations, and will be a sort of guide for
confidence in periods to come.
I um, Sir, your obedient servant,
AN OLD REFORMER.

SUPPOSED NEWS OF SIR JOHN

FRANKLIN.

An extra, published by the Colombo Observer, con-
tains, under date Singapore, Jan. 6, the following:—
News from the utmost ends of the earth are always ac •
ceptable, more especially when the subject-matter is the
relief of the distressed, who have risked and it may be
feared lost their lives in a search after knowledge. I have
it in my power this month to give you later information of
the search which is being prosecuted for the recovery of Sir
J. Franklin and his party than even the Admiralty itself is
yet possessed of. Her Majesty's surveying ship Herald
arrived here from the Arctic regions, via the Sandwich
Islands and Hong-Kong, during the last week, and she has
the latest accounts from the far north. Near the extreme
station of the Russian fur company they learned from the
natives that a party of white men had been encamped 300
or 400 miles inland, that the Russians had made an attempt
to supply them with provisions and necessaries, but that the
natives, who are at enmity with the Russians, had frustrated
all attempts. No communication could be opened with the
spot where they were said to be, as a hostile tribe intervened.
From the Esquimauxs they had this vague story very sat!_sd-
factorily confirmed, with the addition that the white!eau,.
natives having quarrelled, the former had been re°

rail- lteer of the money collected by him to the amount of

been made nearly twelve months ago, and at that time Mr.
Stone absconded. A warrant for his apprehension had been
issued at that time by the Commissioners at Somerset
House, and it was placed in the hands of the parish con-
stable for execution. For some cause or other, however, it
had never been put in force, and the Commissioners, from in-
formation which had reached them, issued another warrant
which they forwarded to Mr. Robinson, the superintendent
of police of that district, and that gentleman at once placed
it in the hands of one of his sergeants Quinnear. This active
and indefatigable officer lost very little time in putting it
into force, and soon captured his man. In this, as in many
instances of a similar description, the sureties of Mr. Stone
are unable to pay a single shilling of the defalcations, and

MANCHESTER, FEE. 15.—Nothing has yet occurred to re-
lieve the trade from the monotonous inactivity which has been
so long experienced; the transactions during the present week
have consequently been on the same restricted scale as pre-
viously noted, any change in prices which may nave taken
place being in favour of buyers. From Ireland and our own
coast the arrivals into Liverpool are only scanty, whilst the
imports from abroad consist of a moderate quantity of wheat
and beans, with a liberal supply of flour, the latter article being
chiefly from France. At our market this morning wheat re-
ceded in value Id to 2d per 70lb. For flour the demand was
extremely limited, and in the few sales effected some conces-
sion in prices was necessary. Oats and oatmeal moved off very
slowly, and must again be noted the turn cheaper.
NOTTINGHAM, FEE. 15.- We had a small attendance of
farmers at market to-day: and fine samples of wheat were
scarce ; such maintained their prices, but secondary and out-of-
conditioned were very unsaleable. The barley trade was very
flat, with but little business doing; we do not alter our quota-
tions. In oats and beans no alteration.
WORCESTER, Fin. 15.---The highest general price of wheat
must be quoted at 16s per bag, but 14s 6d to 15s is nearer the
mark for average samples of English-grown. Malting barley
from 3s to Si 6d per bushel, and distilling about 2s 9d per
bushel. English beans 4s to 4s 4d per bushel, and foreign from
3s 6d to 3s Bd. Old English oats 3s 2d to 3s 3d per 39110, and
new 3s to 3s 2d. Irish 2s 6d to 2s Bd. Spring vetches 4s to 4s
2d per bushel, and winter sold at 4s 6d to 48 10d. White peas
averaged 4s, and gray 31 8d per bushel.
At Stourbridge on Friday there was a fair demand, and all
kinds of grain maintained last week's quotations, except a few
damp samples of wheat, which could only be disposed of at Is
per quarter less money. Average price of barley 26s 3d per
quarter.
At Wolverhampton the supply of wheat from the farmers
was not large, but the millers were careless buyers, though
farmers would not submit to a reduction in prices ; in a few
instances 6'l per quarter reduction was made. Fine dry samples
of English wheat sold at last week's rates—red being worth 14,
64 to 15s 6d, and white 15s 6d to 16s per bag of 9 score 101 b.
Malting barley in less supply, and sold freely at 24s per quarter.
Beans moved off slowly at Ils 6d to 12s for old, and 101 6d for
new English. In oats little doing at 18s to 20s per 3121 b.
The price of the 41b loaf (brown bread) in this neighbourhood
is 41rd.
DALKEITH. FEB. 13.—The relative weight per four bushels
of the three prices of wheat were 18st:91b, list 81b, and 16st
121 b. Oats, List 01b, Ilst 131 b, and lOst 61b. Barley, 16st 61h,

GLASGOW CATTLE MARKET, FEE. 13.—The numbers at
our cattle market to-day were—Oxen, 800 ; sheep, 1,497.
The large supply of cattle caused sales to be rather slowly ef-
fected. Best ox beef aold at 45s to 46,, current from 42s to
445, inferior from 30s to 36s per cwt, sinking the offal. The
sheep market was well supplied, but no alteration in the prices
of last week. Best wethers brought 6d per lb, current from
5d to sid, inferior from 4d to 4i per do, s.nking the offal. A
few of both oxen and sheep tinned out unsold. Prime fed
calves in demand. Pigs dull at from 28s to 36s per cwt.
DUBLIN, FEB. 14 —We had an extremely dull market
to.day for every description of grain but we do not alter our
quotations of Tuesday. White wheat, 21s 0.1 to 24s 6d ;
red ditto, 19s Od to 22s 6d ; barley, 12s 6d to 14s 6d ;
oats, 8s 9d to lOs 3d ; rapeseed, Ms Od to 20a Od per
barrel; oatmeal, lOs Gd to Ils 6d; second flour, per cwt,
12s Gd to 15s Od ; Indian corn, per 4801 b, 29s to 335.
CORK, Faa. 14.
The trade during the week has been quiet, and the business
passing of moderate extent, India❑ corn, stocks of which ere
small, being the only article in which anything like activity
manifests itself. The supplies of home gram are very limited,
the receipts for the week being only : —Wheat, 152 brls, at
I fis 9d to 20s per brl ; barley, 943 bris, at 8s to 12s per brl;
vats, 3,857 brls, at 7s 6d to 9 8d per brl. Wheat is un-
changed in value, but oats and barley manifest a downward
tendency. The business tieing in prepared and foreign wheat
is very moderato in extent, and restricted to the supply of the
immediate wants of the trade. Egyptian, however, owing to
the demand for coarse flour, has sold pretty freely at about 17s
per brl. In barley we have no transactions of moment to re-
cord. Oats are very dull, and it is almost impossible to effect
free on board sales of the article. Prices are nominally the
same as last quoted. The flour trade continues in the same
state as last noted. Coarse qualities are scarce, and continue
in good demand, but the business passing in the finer descrip-
tions is restricted and dull. The stocks of Indian corn are
light, and this, coupled with the fact that a steady consump-
tion demand exists for the article, has led holders to look for
an advance of 5s to 7s 6d per ton. We quote the value of the
article 71103 to 71. 15s per ton.

A NOVEL. 0 0

" The anther, we are convineea,is young, otherwise we could
hardly see displayed such fresh and enthusiastic sympathy in be-
half of his heroes and heroines. He is a writer of genius, inspired
by a high standard of morality and religion, and by- a laudable love
Of the purest sort of fame. We gather this from the glowing lan-
**mot n which he expresses his feelings, sentiments, and opinions
on the subjects Just mentioned. There are several chapters, Ist
which links of the story are dropped, containing most eloquent essays
on matters that are the prima mobilia of the actions which cha-
racterise nature's nobility. The writer evidently belongs, though he
has marked per se peculiarities, to the school of the Disraelis, Man-
holes, and Smythes."—Observer.
"` Silwood' is no ordinary work ; it contains passages of exceed-
ing beauty, and is written in pure and forcible language, with great
good butts and power. It is one of the most interesting and en
gaging novels which the present season has produced. Of the cha-
racter of Amelia Ross we have already spoken, and the extract we
have given above is the surest voucher of the truth of what we have
laid. The other ladies who play conspicnons parts in the tale are
Derence Howard, an intellectual beauty; Jessie Gordon, a wild and
Wupulsive genius, passionately fond of music and poetry ; and Julia
Maitland, the noblest and best of them all."—Morning Post.
