TO THE SECRETARY OF
BRADFORD REFORNI ASSOCIATJ
Sir,—On Monday the 29th, was a to g a
debate on bringing in a Bill for amending the 1
ing to Sivings Banks. There appears no r
doubt, that the intention of the Government
them on a sound foundation for the future; and
eussions attendant on this, will have `a' strong 1
to obtain that great measure of justice, compen
the sufferers by the !aches of the past.
Points which appear clearly established, are t at there
is no impossibility, nor indeed difficulty, in doi every-
thingl for the security and. advantage of the d positors
which can re aionably be desired. If the Go ernment
can protect itself against defalcation by tax c 'lectors,
by taking security for their conduet,it could do he same
in the case of those entrusted with the mans meat of
savings banks. And if a private banker ca ' make a
.profitable trade by paying interest for sums effected
from the poor and the middle classes, 1 this is
evidence that a Government might do the sum without
loss, or without more than it chose to incur for the
sake of the object iu view. Qne fault the Chancellor
of the Exchequer appears to be in the way of removiug,
is the foolish resistance t i receiving sums aboye a cer-
tain amount. If it is politic to encourage a map to save
to the extent of a hundred-and-fifty peunds, why is he
to be called ill names, to the extent even of making it a
plea for his being robbed of his capital, if he i$ proved
to have been traitorously endeavouring to hoard a hun-
dred and sixty ?
If the fact is that the Government means to make some
absolute present in the shape of large interest to the de-
positors under a hundred pounds, lut cannot afford it to
rich people to an unlimited amount, the end is easily
obtained without violence, by diminishing the rate of in-
terest for the larger sum, or as the Chancellor of the
Exchequer proposes to do it, obliging the owner of more
than a hundred pounds to turn over the hundred to the
inferior interest of the funds. In all things of this kind,
where there is a will there is a way; and there appears
to be a prospect that the will will tie found. '
After this, the Ecclesiastical Commission Bill was read
a second time, atter a debate lei off with great eloquence
and ability by Mr. Horsnian, and concluding in a display
of irritability approaching to violence from some of the
opponents. The Church question is not in a position
to bear patiently with an able scrutiny.
On Tuesday was Mr. Henley's motion for the reduc-
tion of Salaries and Wages in Public Employments in con-
sequence ( f the removal of the Corn-laws. It is strange
that a party who were so loud in threatening the Working
Classes with the reduction of Wages as the inevitable con-
sequence • f the removal of the Corn-laws, should now be
found putting themselves f sward as the executors of
the threat. The Minister answered with bold truths,
strongly tending to pledge him, if there were need tor
pledges, to the maintenance of Free Trade. The Previous
Question was put, and carritd against the motion by
269 to 17'3.

NAVAL INTELLIGENCE

PonTsmouTn, TUESDAY.—The Hecate steam-sloop, one of
the advanced steam-squadron, was taken out of the steam-
basin this morning, and taken into dock to be examined.
The Rolla, 8, Lieutenant Fenwick, got under way from
Spithead this morning, to give the seamen apprentices, with
whom she is manned, a cruise of instruction. She was re-
called at 10 o'clock, to take on board Sir Charles Ogle, the
late Port-Admiral of this place, who took a cruise in her.
The gallant Admiral has been sojourning lately at the Port-
land Hotel, Southsea.

The Termagant and Devestation steamers are expected to
be shortly commissioned at this port, and it is expected the
Formidable, 84, will be commissioned shortly at Sheerness,
as will the Modeste, 18, at that place. .
PLYMOUTH, Aram 29.—A court-martial, consisting of—
President, Commodore Lord John Hay, Commodore-Suparin-
tendent ; Captain Johnson, Agincourt; Captain Sir Thomas
Maitland, Impregnable; Captain Strange, steam-sloop
Archer; and Commander M'Cormac, Agincourt, was as-
sembled to-day on board her Majesty ship Impregnable, in
Hamoaze, for the trial of James Mitchell, second-class gun-
ner, borne on the books of her Majesty's ship Agincourt, but
serving in the steam-frigate Vulture, one of the ad-
vanced steamers at this port, under command of Lieute-
nant ltigg.
The charges were, that he (James. Mitchell) did, on the
14th of April, on board the Vulture, whilst under the
influence of liquor behave disrespectfully to Lieutenant F.
Stevens, Second-Lieutenant of the Vulture, and make use of
disgusting language to Mr. Vine, the carpenter.
The prisoner pleaded "Guilty," and appealed for character
to one of the members of the court, Captain Strange, under
whom, when mate of the brig Pearl, prisoner served 12 years
since.

Captain Strange stated that at that time he was a remark-
ably good and steady man,
The Court, after a short deliberation, sentenced him to be
dismissed the service.

The barque Choise, Robertson, arrived in the Sound yes-
terday, from St. ➢lartha, with fustic and tobacco for London,
and will proceed on obtaining additional hands. Lieutenant
George Jones, Ist West India Regiment, has landed here
from her.

The ship Branken Moor, Captain James, 112 days from
Port Philip, with a full cargo of wool and tallow, was off
the port this morning, bound to London, and landed here
Messrs. Pobbledon and Gardner, agriculturists, her only
passengers.
Wind, easterly; smart breeze.
Wootwictr, Arm. 30.—Captain Michael Quin (1837) is
to have the command of the Ajax, 56, steam guardship. to
be commissioned immediately at Portsmouth. The Ajax has
auxiliary engines of 450 •horse power.
The Atholl troop-ship, recently paid off at Woolssich, is
to be repaired at Sheerness, and is expected to be recommis-
,sioned by Lieutenant William Great, to serve as a receiving-
ship off the Tower, instead of the Perseus, the latter being
now very old, and not worth repairing.
The Resolute, Captain. H. T. Austin, C. 8., had her com-
passes adjus:ed by Captain Johnson on Friday last, at Green-
hithe ; and the Assistance, Captain Erasmus Ommanney,
had hers adjusted yesterday, immediately after she was
inspected by the Lords of the Admiralty. The Pioneer
screw steam-vessel, Lieut.-Commander Sherard Osborn, had
her compasses adjusted to-day, and the Intrepid steam-screw
vessel, Lieutenant-Commander John Bertie Cator, will have
hers adjusted on Thursday. Friday, the day appointed for
paying the crews in advance, will be a holyday, and on Sa-
turday they leave 'the river for the Arctic regions. Some
idea may be ifortned of the anxiety to see these vessels pre-
vious to their departure, when it is made known that up-
wards of 70 highly respectable persons left the London-bridge
station of the North Kent Railway at seven o'clock A.M. to-
day, for the purpose of going on board the vessels at Green-
hithe, and numerous parties proceeded with the same object
in view by each succeeding train.

LADY FRANKLIN'S BRANCH EXPEDITION.

The Lords of the Admiralty have in the most considerate
manner supplied the Prince Albert vessel, purchased by
Lady Franklin, with provisions from Deptford victualling-
yard, and no time will be lost in getting the vessel ready
for sea.

MISS CLARA. NovEr.Lo.—This excellent English
vocalist, who a few years ago married an Italian nobleman,
has returned to the operatic stage, and recent accounts
speak largely and enthusiastically of the success that has
hitherto attended her efforts. A private letter informs us
that her engagement at Florence has terminated, and that
prior to her departure°she sang at a grand concert
g ivreanc t ibcye
the Grand Duke—an unusual compliment • the p
ordinarily being to have no other than the two court singers.
The Puritani and the Sonnambula have both been repre-
sented, in which "La Clara" sustained the principal cha-
racter with unbounded rcldt. The communication further
states that this clever artist was In treaty with the directors
of the opera hous,s both of Naples and St. Petersburgh.
She is, however, likely to visit England about the middle
of May.
SHREWSBURY AND HEREFORD RAILWAY. - The
Committee, in reporting to the House in favour of this Bill,
state that their attention was directed to the circumstance
that, by the proposed reduction of the amount of the shares,
the capital secured by the original subscription contract
would be reduced to less than three-fourths of the present
estimate; but that it was proved, to the satisfaction of the
Committee, that a number of the new shares proposed to be
authorised by the Bill, and more than F uilicient to supply the
deficiency, had already been subscribed for under contract.
We have much pleasure. in announcing that the
Rev. Gilbert Elliot has been appointed Dean of Bristol.

THE FRENCH REPUBLIC.

RETURN OF EUGENE SUE

We have received the Paris journa's ( f 3 estesday.
• M. EUGENE Sue has been returned for Paris by a
majority of 8,175 vot. r.Foe jourt.ul
the Constitutionnel giyti the following as the resu4 of
the scrutiny
At (.le.en o'clock, at we are (titting to press, the re-
suit ( f 249 sections out of the 251 into a hi,rh tn . i',i--

' Mujority for Sue ...

8,175"

Although'from the. above analysis it would appear
that the votes of the army are nearly divided, yet in
reality the great majority of the army voted for Sus:,
for with the army vote the Invalides who, under-the
inspection of their Governor Marshal JEROME Bo-
aPARTE voted to a man for the 'Bonapartist candi-
date.; and the gendarmerie, the Sbirri of M. CARLIER,
who, under his direction, voted, there can be no doubt,
for thel employer of his nephew. Deducting the votes'
of these two bodies, it is clear that the great majority
of the effective army voted for M. EUGENE SUF.
The National, in recording this great victory of the
Republican Constitutionalists, the party of legality,
over Itbe !konarchimil reactionaries, the party' -of
force, says that the Republicans would be unjust if
they did not 'award a part of the credit due
to those who have secured the return
of M. EUGENE SUE to M. CARLIEF. " He,
more than any other single individual," says
the National, "has contributed to the return of M.
EUGENE Suit. In justice to all," adds the National,
"we must not forget the assistance which was ren-
dered us at the last moment by the Emperor of
Sundays (the Napoleon). In politics nothing is
so valuable as a wise enemy." We consider the re-
turn of M. EUGENE SUE (for the sale of whose
pamphlets the Court of Cessation recently condemned
st.newsvender, which condemnation is the foundation
of M. CAELIER'S recent proceedings) as a protest on
the part of the people of Paris against the recent at-
tempts to interfere with the liberty of the press ; we
consider the return of M. EUGENE SUE, the advocate of
secular education as a protest on the part of the people
of Paris against the recent law of Public Instruction,
which hands over the whole of the education of the
people to the priests ; we consider the election of M.
EUGENE Sus, the author of the " Juif Errant," the
denounced of the Jesuits, the anathematised of the
College of Cardinals, as a protest against Jesuitism,
obscurantism, and ultramontanism, as a solemn re-
pudiation on the part'-of the people of Paris of the
policy which led to the expedition against the Roman
Republic, and to the restoration of the POPE, and as a
warning to the Government to abstain from pursuing
an illiberal anti-republican and anti-national policy.
May they take the warning in time.
The number of electors who abstained from voting
was 65,471, and the number of votes polled is 12,000
less than it was on the 10:h March. The refusal
of the parties to record their votes is attributed to
the disgust which they felt at the tyrannical proceed-
ings of M. CARLIER, at the ill-judged threat of Ge-
neral GRAMMoNT to move the seat of government
from Paris, and at the very " imperial" tone assumed
by the Napoleon of last Sunday. The fact is, the
great majority of the French nation is Republican ;
although the reactionaries attempt, to disguise this
truth even from themselves, yet it is a truth, and
although that majority is not socialist, yet it would
prefer to accept Socialism rather than to lose the
republic.
MM. MOLE, TRIERS, BERRTER, MONTALEMBERT,
General Sr. PRIEST, and General GRAMMONT were
summoned to the Elyte3 op Monday night, and re-
mained in conference till two o'clock in the morning
of Tuesday. It is believed the Ministry will be
changed or reinforced by some members of the Right.
M. BERRYER returned to the E ys(l.-: at seven o'clock
on Tuesday morning.
At a Council of Ministers, held on Monday even-
ing, M. DUMAS, the Minister of Commerce, proposed
that M. ()LIMIER should be dismissed, as his ill-
judged proceedings had caused the defeat of the
28th of April, as they hail previously caused that of
the 10th March ; M. DUMAS, however, was overruled,
and M. CARLIER keeps his place.
M. CARLIMI'S crusade against the R 'publican
newspapers has had, as we anticipated it would
have, the effect of immensely increasing their
circulation, while the privileged papers have
fallen off in sale immensely. On Monday
the sale of the Evenement, at the office, was con-

tinued beyond midnight ; the people firmed en
queue, as they do at the doors of the theatre, waiting
for their turn to be served. It was in vain that the
authori.ed hawkers offered them the Patrie, the
Gazette de France, or the Moniteur du Soir, the pri-
viliged papers found no purchasers.
The people are advised by all the Republican j our--
nals to abstain from being present on Thursday at
the declaration of the poll, in order to avoid all
chance of a collision.
The Democratic candidates have all been returned
for the Soane et Loire.

There are various rumours as to a change of Mi-
nistry. One account says that MM. DUFAUR Gus-
TAVE DE BEAUMONT and Generals BEDEAU and LA-
MORICIERE will enter the new Ministerial Cabinet,
while another states that M. DE FALLOUX, N4ho ar-
rived on Sunday in Paris, has been commissipned to
form a Ministry. The Patrie threatens all worts of
repressive measures, and the Legitimatist jour-
nals denounce the Bourgeoisie of Paris with a
hatred that smacks of 1789. The Patrie
announced that a law affecting the fiuffrage
would be presented to the Assembly yesterday, and
threatened a coup d'etat. No such law was, however,
presented, and General LAMORICIERB declat+l that
the army would be as little disposed to suffer,a coup
d'etat as to suffer disorder in the streets. The Mi-
nister at War expressed his surprise at the llusion
made to a coup d'etat, and with an affectation; of in-
nocent simplicity, asked where General LAmotti-
ciEttE could have heard any threat of 4 coup
d'etat? "In the Napoleon of Sunday," shouted the
Left. " I know nothing of • the Napoleon," said
General d'HAuTrooL; "the only official journal is
the Moniteur," and thus the matter ended. general
BEDEAU has also expressed his intention of o6posing
any attempt at a coup d'etat, and General CIIiNGAR-
NIER has declared that any such attempt would be
ridiculous. The schism between the Orleanists and
the Legitimatists is greater than ever; each party
charges the other with the ill success of the election.
