TO THE EDITOR Ol THI SUN.

Sia,—The Pacific is now in pert ; and, being doubtful
all along that the news was "too goad to be true" that
the natives bad seen the vessels, from what I hear and
know of the coast, I feel convinced that the whole
statement is not worth a rush, as the distance overland
from the two points, which is only 215 miles right across
the land ; so that if natives had been there, they could
and woud have been inclined is have gone again and
brought some sort of intelligence of the parties. But
what I now write is at the instance of Captain Reid,
of the Pacific, who has his brother with Sir John. He
feels also assured that the natives have not seen the yes-
eels, and therefore those in high quarters, though com-
fortable and snug at their own firesides, should net forget
that they, the explorers, who have thus imperilled their
lives for the gratification of scientifie clubs and coteries,
that they may have something to chatter about, should
be up and still doing what may yet bring us intelli-
gence of these noble fellows. I feel assured that "Gale's"
balloon might give a very good " bird's-eye" view of the
country, had it only been thought of in time ; as, if the
balloon were started at Ponds Bay it would give a very
great range of view, and even might be seen by the ex-
plorers, as they have plenty of means in their power to
raise a balloon from fire, rags, and tallow. At night a
balloon would be seen a great way. Everything that
can be done ought to be done, if it were but for one
thing—that is, to soothe the heart of that noble lady
who has shown the old women at the Admiralty how
to be up and doing. I trust your powerful pea will be
employed in this matter. The provisions, &c., sent out
by Lady Franklin were left there by Captain Reid, of
the Pacifie.—Yours, &c.,
" NEVER GIVE UP,
For they may be saved yet."
Persevere and use means.

BOROUGH HOP.
As the imports of foreign hops continue large, the
demand is very inactive, and prices are barely supported.

THE LAIR FATAL RAILWAY ACCIDENT NEAR LEEDS.
—ln this journal of last week we gave some particulars
of an affair which had occurred on titir railway between
Leeds and Horsforth, where a young woman was sup-
posed to have been thrown out of a railway carriage.
The coroner's jury who sat to inquire into the
matter adjourned until Monday. On that day they met.
and returned an open verdict. They censured the guard
for neglecting to see that the woman was in the carriage
when the train stopped at each ktation, she being
drunk ; and they recommended the railway
company
to keep the off-side door of their carriages locked
i in
future.
