BRITISH AMERICA.

The Canadian Government are making arrangements
for withdrawing a portion of the troops from Upper
Canada. Only one garrison, it is said, will remain in
the province, and this at Kingston. A similar course is
to be carried out in Lower Canada, where Quebec is to
be the garrison town.
The Toronto Anti-Slavery Society have issued an ad-
dress denouncing the Fugitive Slave Bill, and making an
appeal on behalf of the coloured refugees arriving in
Canada in a state of destitution.

COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE.
The demand for specie for shipment continues active.
The Hermann and the Asia had 1,300,000 dolls, engaged,
principally in American gold. Money was in good de-
mand, without any pressure.
There is nothing new in the stock market, Government
loans being firm.
Exchange is more abundant, rating as follows:—Lon-
don, 110 to 1103; Paris, 5 10; Amsterdam, 411
Hamburgh, 364
Cotton has had a slight advance, under the influence
of very unfavourable advices relative to the planting
season. Middlings were to 4 cents higher. Sales for
the week at New York above 18,500 bales. Prices—
New Orleans, mid. fair to fair, I2i to 124; Florida 111
to 124. Killing frosts have been injuring the southern
crops.
The accounts from the English markets had caused a
decline in the flour market:—Mixed western and Michi-
gan were quoted 4 dolls. 25c. to 4 dolls. 31 ie.; pure
Gennesse, 4 dolls. 564 c. to 4 dolls. 681-c.; Canadian
wheat 9Sc. to 102 c.; Genessee, 1 doll. 12c. to 1 doll.
14ic.; Indian corn was in good demand, the closing
rate being 63i to 64 for western mixed.
Freights, ls. 3d. per barrel on flour to Liverpool; 40.
to 4d. per bushel for corn; cotton., 3-16 d. to Liverpool,
and cent to Havre.
In provisions the market is quiet, without change in
price. Lard, 10 to 101 cents.

TO THE SECRETARY OF TEE BRADFORD
REFORM ASSOCIATION.
(EVERY 310NDAY AND WEDNESDAY.)
Sir,—On Wednesday the 14th, w a:; the debate on the
order for second reading of the Religious Houses Bill.
The proposed provisions of the Bill were not so well
digested as further consideration mi g ht have made them;
but the support given to the spirit .of the Bill may be
assumed as a pretty fair index of the :feeling of the House,
abstraction being made of the deciision of the Govern-
ment. The Government was very indistinct, as to what
it would or would not do at some future time; the in-
ference from which is, that it waits. for the public mind.
In the present instance, it went a gainst the Bill; and
the second reading was consequently lost by 123
against 91.
The minority was a much strong( ;r one than anybody
appeared to expect; and on the whole it may be hoped
the ground was maintained, for an advance upon what
both Protestants and Catholics of initelligence must ad-
mit to be a reasonable mark, the e.scertaining what re-
strictions it has been found necessary in the continental
countries, both Catholic and mixed, to put on the con-
duct of religious houses, and then estimating with
gravity and impartiality what port ion of these may be
indicated as indispensable here.
On Thursday the adjourned debate) on the question of
the House going into Committee xn the Ecclesiastical
Titles Bill, was intercepted by.a flig,b.t of petitions read in
under tones, from multitudinous small Catholic localities,
to an extent which I heard justly characterized in the
House, as a " Papal aggression on .Dur temporal rights."
It was seven o'clock, and then :apparently by a mis-
management of some of the holden; of petitions, before
the process of speaking could commence. This is a
new method of defence, and may 'remind your neigh-
bours at Leeds of the bags of wool tradition says the
citizens in Cromwell's time put round! their Old Church.
It is impossible to blame men for making the longest
and best defence they can. But it may be permitted
to doubt, whether their defence is the best, and
whether it is not likely to end in their latter state being
worse than their first. The tactic o f the House on these
occasions seems better understood than when I first re-
member it. Instead of a prolonge d struggle with a
resolute minority which can lead to nothing, the House
now, when the hour of bedtime is decidedly come, goes
once to a division on the question of adjournment, and
having thus given the public an estimate of the strength
of the opposing parties, quietly adjourns. In the pre-
sent case, the adjournment was oppc sod by 359 against
46, and the debate was immediately n.:iterwards adjourned
till next day.
You will have seen in the public prints, that a man
has been brought before the magistr a tea for chalking the
walls and pavements with the words FREE TRADE AND
STARVATION, he being paid for the same. I saw his
handy works myself, with the addition that some of the
zealous public had interpolated the. word No before the
last. Now let us preach a little u pon this tcxf, " Free
Trade and Starvation." That is to say, Free Trade
causes starvation. What is wanted is, that somebody's
trade should be hindered, and that would put an end to
starvation. Whose trade is it to be? Cherish not the
least doubt, that it is to be yours. Your trade is to
make the articles which aro exchanged for foreign goods;
and your articles are so exchanged, because in this way
the foreign goods are got cheaper and better. If this was
not so, you know they would not he exchanged. The de-
mand therefore chalked upon the pavements, is that
your trade may be stopped by any man who can make
the goods dearer and worse. Think of this, and try to
make every boy and girl in Bradford understand it. If
your great men cannot or will not understand it, make
the little ones; for the days are coming when the
common sense of little men will count. Remember that
PROTECTION TO BRITISH INDUSTRY always means the
right of making the goods dearer and worse, and of put-
ting down you who by the exchange of your produce can
obtain them cheaper and better. You are not British,
you are not industry; you are e sort of intruders
upon the soil, which everybody may kick up, as boys
do toad-stools. You and such as you, are the people to
be robbed. The cry is to go forth at the next election,
Her= for who likes to rob Bradford. Tho consumcoeurrs is
