lIANOVEE-SQUARE Rooms,—The annual concert of
Miss Dolby and Mr. Lindsay Sloper took place yesterday
morning. Some of the best vocal talent of the day had
been secured for the occasion, and an efficient orchestra pro-
vided. We have so frequently eulogised the abilities of the
concert givers, that it would be a work of supererogation for
us now to dilate upon them ; we may, however, state their
performances on this occasion afforded additional evidence 01
their artistic excellence, while the crowded state of the
rooms, and the applause bestowed upon their efforts, suffi-
ciently proved the very high estimation in which they are
held by the public.

A new double cylinder tubing machine has been in-
vented by the Gutta Percha Company, by means of which
tubing of an almost idefinite length can be manufactured, or
electric telegraph wire covered. The double cylinders are so
constructed that whilst one of them is in operation the other
is charged with a fresh supply of material, and thus a con-
tinuous flow

TO THE SECRETARY OF THE
BRADFORD REFORM ASSOCIATION.
Sir,—On Monday the 13th, was another length-
ened and cold debate on the Australian Colonies
Government Bill ; which was read a third time, and
passed.
On Tuesday debate on two Metropolitan Water-
works Bills, which were negatived on the second
reading. The first, which proposed a supply
of water
from Artesian wells, was opposed on the ground of
inexpedience. The other, which proposed to derive a
supply from the Thames, involved the unsettled ques-
tion of, first, whether water is to drink, and secondly,
whether it is to wash with. It was stated there were
mills, which, if the citizens drank, they might drink
dry; and therefore it appeared to be settled that the
citizens ought not to drink, still less to wash. The
House is waiting for some twenty Members to accept
the Hundreds of the grave, and then it will begin to
apply itself to the sanitary question.
On the same day was brought on the motion for re-
' turning to an Eight Shillings Duty on Foreign Corn.
It was not so worded ; but this was declared, with all
the precision of which language is capable, to be
the meaning of its supporters. The defence of
the Free-Traders was exactly what might be supposed
to have resulted from putting the enemy into com-
mand. Speaker after speaker came forward, to make
the most wounding admissions which half-informed
advocates could stumble into. Nothing was absent
which could indicate prostration of power or nullity
of argument. The attack, on the other hand, was
conducted with the greatest ability and vigour, the
speakers appearing to rise above their ordinary powers
atient animal croup to the storm,
as they assailed the passive party, which imitated the
impression on an accidental hearer must have been,
and says in dumb action, " Pelt away." The
that if superiority in argument was concerned, the
Corn-Laws must be fully restored in six months. The
scene was not altered, till the Chancellor of the Ex-
chequer rose ; and he made some telling hits, on the
evidences of increasing and not decreasing prosperity
since the change. The Member for the 'West Riding
followed with some caustic attacks on his opponents,
which is the direction in which his great strength
lies. But nobody touched the main points of the
question. There was contest at great length, whether
this or that prophecy agreed with the present price of
wheat, and whether an East wind or a West
wind brought the greatest quantity of corn
to market. But nobody touched your ques-
tion, which is whether the foreign trade of
Bradford is to be put down to serve the land-owners.
Those who by thenustom of the House are allowed
to speak on important questions, would not do it ; and
those who would have done it, were not allowed. The
House of Commons, like language, is for the conceal-
ment of ideas. The inference from it to you and
others, is not to look to the House of Commons but
to 184 against the motion,
showed
to the Free Trade Hall. There is no room for reasons
in the other place, or at all events none for yours.
Th The
prettydivision,
of
clearly
House. In the mean time the opponent goes on
triumphantly and scarcely
.opposed, to lay his founda-
tions for better prospects in the next. Of all 298 the disposition of the present
inex-
plicable things the most mysterious, is why the Free
Traders after carrying their cause before the country
once by sheer argument, should thus recall their ene-
mies to life and power, by refusing to take advantage
of the splendid opportunity presented in the House of
Commons to such of them as have the liberty of
speech.

I am, Sir, your obedient servant,
AN OLD REFORMER.
