TO THE SECRETARY OF THE

BRADFORD REFORM ASSOCIATION.

Sir,—On Monday the 10th, on the postponed
Resolution on Supply, was a debate on the expenses
of the new Houses of Parliament. The case only
grows worse by looking into., Our representatives
have behaved like babies ; and have made a baby-
house. The vindication attempted by a statesman
of the first standing in the country, consisted in re-
presenting that "the magnificent building" made it ne-
cessary to take the opportunity for encouraging every
description of art, from that of the statuary and the
painter, to that of the moulder and the gilder,—in other
words, to expend money in all ways by which money
could be spent. His starting-place, his locus a quo,
was ever "the magnificent building." But who, in
their senses or out of them, authorized " the magnifi-
cent building ?" Where was the physical or moral
necessity, which enforced as if it were a requisite of
life, the raising of " the magnificent building ?" A
plain and tolerably comfortable House of Commons
takes fire, and thence by some logic known only to
those who have the spending of other people's money,
arises the necessity for " the magnificent building."
The case, seems past help, and there is nothing to
be done for
,it as in the French convidy, Jean,
page All ordinary recipes for spendthrifts seem to
nave been carried out to the letter. It was distinctly
avowed, that contracts had been made with artists,
:subject to the risk .of whether Parliament would pay.
Ti34t, is to say, debts are contracted first, and 'the bills
sent in td Papa toliquidate at his leisure..
On the same evening the debate on the second
reading of the Lord Lieutenancy Abolition (Ireland)
Bill was adjourned till Monday.
The answer to the Address of the House for stop-
ping the communication by post two days in seven,
was also read. The Ministers are acting under pique.
They should have advised the ordinary precedent of
requesting the revision of a Court Martial. It is
degrading to the country, that a religious falsehood
should be carried at a push, by a majority of 29 in
the fourth part of a House.
On Tuesday progress was made with the Metro-
politan Interments Bill in Committee. Notwith-
standing a pertinacious opposition from some quarters,
there is on the whole a fair and moderate spirit i
abroad, which will bring the thing to a settlement, n
time to have effect upon the cholera of 1851.
The evening sitting was principally occupied with
dissertations in praise of the makers of Indian
railroads which are to be. And the House broke up
at eleven.

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