NAVY HALF-PAY.

TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN.

'rive fre►luently heard the voice of the Press—
that Press which luta crushed the power which attempted to
crush it—declare that Half-pay Officers deserved the careen!
attention of Governntent. Now, Sir, in the first place,
I want to ask you whether you think flee shillings a day
sufficient to support a titan—..l will 'not sty gentleman,
hut man—is it sufficient to lodge, feed, and clothe a man--.-
I say a single min, without wise and children ? I leave
you to determine this question—l do not pretend to
answer it myself. Should you say it is not quite sufficient,
then let me itsk you, if the public money were more justly
distributed than it is, do you not think Government could
afford to increase the Captains' half-pay from ss. to 7c a
day? Every man, Sir, expects to make something in
youth front his exertion. to enjoy when old. I apply this
to the military trade as well as to other trades. I have not
what you, as a writer, look out for; but if, after twenty..
one years' writing, you get only ss. a d iy, it will be a
very bad look out.
You must excuse the style of my letter; far I, like
Othello, am rude in speech.
If you are inclined to assist Half•pay Officers, I dare
say the Morning Herald will assist you ; for that Paper
possesses a, generous spirit.
I am, your obedient servant,

T. 111.

I'. S.—l am sure, Sir, the King, his Ministers, and
people, wish to du justice to lislf-pay Officers, because
a man is incapable of making money when employed in
protecting trade. That ',tweeted trade should think of
its protecting power and friend. You understand me, I
hope—l am rude in speech.
