Mr. ROEBUCK asked whether, as it was not likely that kbrington, Viscount O'Connell, M. J. y ,
the House would sit many weeks longer, it was proposed to Fagan, William Osborne, Ralph
institute inquiry without further application to the House? Fitzwilliam, G. W. Pelham, D. A.
Lard JOHN RUSSELL thought the best course to adopt- Forster, Mathew Pilkingten, James
under present circumstances would be to leave the matter
to the discretion of the Crown. He thought it was com-
petent to her Majesty's. advisers to advise the Crown to
make regulations permitting the transmission and delivery
of letters.
Lord ASHLEY wished to know whether he was to under-
stand from his Noble Friend, that supposing the inquiry was
to take six weeks or two months—(oh, oh, and cries of" One
week")—was he to understand that her Majesty's Ministers
intended to act upon the report without previously commemi--
eating their intentions to Parliament?
Lord JOHN RUSSELL said that if Parliament was sitting,
he would certainly state to the House the result of the in-
quiry, and the directions given by the Crown in consequence.
If Parliament should not be sitting, he certainly thought it
was competent in the advisers of the Crown to issue direc-
tions respecting the delivery of letters.
An HON. MEMBER asked what sort of inquiry was in-
tended to be instituted?
Lord JOHN RUSSELL said be could not at present
state the exact mode in which the inquiry would be con-
ducted; but all the means at the disposal of the Treasury
and the Post-office would be employed for the purpose.
The amendment of Lord John Russell was then put from
the chair, when
Lord ASHLEY said, after the explanation the Noble Lord
had given of his intention to take the matter altogether
out-of the han 's of Parliament, he must say, and be said it
with great regret, that it was impossible for him to agree
with the motion of the Noble Lord.—(" Oh, oh," and cheers.)
Lord JOHN RUSSELL reminded the Noble Lord that
his own original motion proposed an inquiry which was
in every respect as vague and undefined as the present.
Lord ASHLEY rose, but was received with loud cries of
" Spoke."
Lord JOHN MANNERS acid the Noble Lord opposite
had reminded him that the motion of his Noble Friend,
which was carried, did propose en inquiry upon this subject.
He would now ask whether it was not the duty of the Go-
wrnment, before this time, to have institute.[ that inquiry,
and to abide by the advice he had given to the Crown till
that inquiry was made? . . -
Lent ROBERT GROSVENOR could not consent to leave
this matter kettle hands of the Government, recollecting that
the Chancellor of the Exchequer had on a previous occasion
avowed that Ministers advised the Crown to consent to the
motion of his Noble Friend, in the hope that thereby the
people would be roused to petition against it.
The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said his Noble
Friend had unconsciously misrepresented him elle never used
any phrase that could bear that meaning.
Mr. PHILIP HOWARD rose to denounce the closing of
the Post-office as a tyrannical measure amidst loud and
continued shoutings, which rendered nearly every sentence
inaudible, - .
Mr. FORBES MACKENZIE. moved the adjournment of
the debate, but subsequently, at the instigation of some of
his friends, withdrew the motion.
In answer to Mr. PLUMPTKE,
Lord JOHN RUSSELL said that if Parliament should be
sitting at the time the report was made, he would have no
objection to hey that report on the table of the House, and at
the same time state the advice he meant to tender to the
Crown upon it, so that any Member would then be at liberty
to move an address to the Crown upon the subject.
The House then divided, when there appeared— -

TO THE SECRETARY OF THE
BRADFORD REFORM ASSOCIATION.
Sir,—O, 'Monday the Bth, the Mercan:ite Marine Bid
was proceeded with to a certain extent in Commit ee.
The rest of the night was expended on the Eccleiias
tical Committee Bill. An obscure subject, on which very
little light can be got by an ordinary intent et, from study
of the Bill. The glimmering to ho ob,ained is, i.t.at
something is tr be done by the Bill, which the Eccles'ar-
tical Establishment would not do of itself; from which
the conclusion with many will be, to incline them to its
support. There seems so little danger of the present
Government doing anything infuriate or rash in that
direction, that average minds will lean towards giving it
assistance.
On Tuesday was an important debate on Mr. Locke
King's motion for extension ,of the Suffrage. The
language of the Opposition was remarkable for its osten-
tatious boast, that " nut one-tenth of the Liberal side of
the House waild be returned on a new election." This
is the simple consequence of the nullity of defence made
by the Free Trade party in the House. Everything has
been allowed to go there by default; so that the boldness
of the adversary has been encouraged to a state of full-
blown recklessness.
The division nevertheless Showed a substantial in-
crease of the Suffrage party. 100 voters. making with
the tellers and six pairs 108, is a strength considerably
greater than has been before exhibited. The Prime
Minister as good as recommended, that a motion to the
effect in hand should be made at the commencement of
the session, when there would be a prospect of its being
attended with success. . And it was a lathes in the
Liberal party, that none of them stood up and closed
with the tempting recommendation of the Premier.
The arguments of the Opposition were peculiarly
feeble. That there were traditions in the English mind
favourable to the preservation of abuse; that England
was a monarchy, and a monarchy wes incompatible
with justice; that it was essential to the preservation of
public peace that' one vote, of the Protectionist ply
should count for ten cf the other's, or which is the same
thing, that one thousand of their voters should send us
many Members to Parliament as ten thousand of the
others; were the grounds on which they maintained the
indispensableness . f wrong.
The House afterwards proceeded to Mr. Locke's mo-
tion for an Address to the Crown, praying for inquiry
whether the amount of Sunday labour in the Poet•utlice
might not be reduced without completely putting an end
to the collection and delivery of letters &c. on Sundays,
and that pending such inquiry the collection and deli-
very of letters should be continued as heretofore. The
mover and the seconder (Mr. Roebuck) maintained their
case with great ability. Lord John Russell with great
tact moved an amendment, consisting nearly in the
sime terms as the other, with the omission of the final
clause relating to returning to the old practice pending
the inquiry; which was filially carried by 195 again,t
112. The talent of the Premier in this manner relieved
the country from a dilemma, which was every day grow•
ing more serious, and tending to consequences which
everybody must have finally deplored.
I am, Sir, your obedient servant,
AN OLD REFORMER.

A LADY Cur TO PIECES.—An accident of a truly
appalling character occurred on the Ycrk and Scarborough
Railway on Thursday last, by which a lady of independence,
named Martin, met with a terrible death. It appeared she
had been staying at Roldgate, near York, and left her resi-
dence between three and four o'clock, with the intention of
taking a walk along the banks of the River Ouse. "Soon
afterwards she was observed by a gentleman walking on the
railway near the viaduct which crosses the stream in ques-
tion, and at the same time a train was approaching at a
rapid rate towards York. She remained evidently uncon-
scious of its coming up, having her parasol before her, and
was walking leisurely along the permament way between
the line of rails until the engine-driver gave the whistle
alarm, which attracted her attention, when seeing her dan-
ger she turned round and ran back with the intention of es-
caping. Unfortunately, however, the train was too close
upon her, for in the next moment or so the engine struck the
unhappy lady to the ground, and the whole of the carriages,
17 in number, passed over her body. She was dreadfully
mangled ; her body, in fact, was literally cut to pieces. It
was its much difficulty her person could be ider.tified. Not
the least blame could be imputed to the engine driver, who
did all in his power to prevent the occurrence. An inquest
was held on the body yesterday, and a verdict of Acci.tental
Death was recorded.

The most agreeable reunions mvsicales et dansantes

reflects the hi4hest credit upon the good taste of the charm-
