TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN.

Sir--I suppose it has escaped the notice of the Press
that an Act is being smuggled through the House, by the
Chancellor of the Exchequer, to secure to the daughter of
the Marquis of Tweedale 2,5501. per annum from the funds
of the country, because she is about to unite herself to the
Marquis of Douro. Surely the Commons will not suffer
this impudent robbery to be perpetrated. At two o'clock
on Monday morning it was brought in ; at half-past one
on Tuesday morning it was read a second time, and is to
be committed to-day; and I suppose will be the law of the
land by Saturday eight. Sir, your obedient servant,
A TAX PAYER.

METROPOLITAN POLITICAL
SUMMARY.

The Times, speaking of the Boundary question with the
United States, observes_" We never felt entire confidence
in the unwillingness of Mr. Van Buren to commence hos-
tilities with Great Britain. We saw that even the brutal
flagitiousness of the pirates who invaded Canada under
scandalous pretences, could not provoke from him any
manly, indignant, or high-principled condemnation. In
this instance of the impetuosity of Mr. Fairfield, we find the
same timid reluctance in Mr. Van Buren to compromise
himself with any decisive or authoritative course."
The Morning Chronicle contains a leading article on
the conduct of France with regard to South America, in
the course of which our Contemporary remarks as follows
—" The people of Great Britain have just cause of com-
plaint against the Government of France. By making war
rashly, and without a valid justification, against Buenos
Ayres, and in some measure Mexico, these States are not
the only sufferers. The commerce of this country has suf-
fered much—and still suffers, from that cause."
The Morning Post. in allusion to the American Boun-
dary question, says—" We own that if we go to war with
the United States, our loss must be much greater than
that of ordinary war, but not so great as that it should
frighten us from asserting our national rights. We are
not insensible, nor unmindful, nor careless of the loss of
our trade; but better lose anything than our national
honour."

The Morning Herald remarks, in the course of a lead-
ing article on the subject of the American Boundary
question :—" A war between Great Britain and the United
States would appear to be inevitable. Nothing, at all
events, can prevent war, excepting the most ample prepa-
rations on the part of this country to guard the national
honour from violation, and to maintain, at all hazards, the
dominion of England over her North American colonies.

We arc happy in being able to state that the
Princess Augusta is gradually recovering strength after
her Royal Highness's late severe attack of illness. The
Royal Princess drove out in her carriage both on Thurs-
day and Saturday last, and is, we are delighted to add,
finding so much benefit from our coast air, that she has
determined to remain here till after Easter. Lady Mary
Pelham is still in waiting on the Princess.—Brighlon
Guardian.

The " odd fellows" at Southampton appear to
realise their designation, though not in a ludicrous or
good-humoured sense ; as one member, it seems from a
late trial, goes to a ball armed with a dagger, and another
with a brace of loaded pistols. Hitherto the ladios' ore,
were the yin), weapons used on such occasions.-
But these are " odd fellows."
