We have received letters from Antwerp, to the 6th of
April, which state that all was tranquil since the horrible
night of the 31st of March, and that the greatest precau-
tions have been taken to prevent any future cause of alarm;
bur the letters add that their political situation is becoming
very critical. _ _ _

Wire cannot expect any further continental information
as all the steamers and the express from Paris hive arrived.
The Funds are not so high as in the early part of the
day, when they were done at 79ia, since which they have
receded to 79i for the account. This re-action is attributed
to the numerous puts and calls operating on the market,
as well as a renewal of the scarcity of money stock. The
hears have been terribly floundering, and will pay dear for
th it timidity.
In the Foreig❑ Market nothing doing.

TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN.

Six,—Having for some years taken in your Paper, I
trust you will excuse my troubling you with the following
remarks, and should you not deem them unworthy, I hope
they will find a place in the valuable columns of The
Sun.

Observing in your Paper of the 28th of March, some
notice taken of the laws of parochial settlement, I feel it a
duty incumbent on me, as a subject of these realms, to
point out any improvement that might he beneficial to the
public, with respect to the unfair mode in which many
pauper families are removed from one parish to another.
In many instances the parish officers say one to another,
" There is a family that does not properly belong to us,
and yet we are burthened with the expense of maintaining ;
they lived some time since at such a place; let us remove
them by order to that place,—if we fail in establishing
our right of removal, it will not cost us much, and the
parish must appeal against the order previous to returning
the pauper family to our parish ;—and all the expense, will
lie at the door of the appellants ! !!"
Now, Sir, let me ask you and the public if this be
fair ? I say, no. Let the parish applying for a removal,
if unable to establish their right so to do, pay all the ex-
penses of law proceedings, as well as the expense incurred
by the keep, &c. of the paupers previous to the time
of appeal.
I trust this will not be considered the most use-
less part of Reform that ought to take place ; and as the
poor laws at present press very unequal), upon parishes,
almost to-the ruin of some, it appears desirable that a plan
for alleviating such pressure should be adopted. Perhaps
the equalization of poor-rates, with superintendent over-
seers for districts, in lieu of the adoption of hired over-
seers for a parish, as is now generally the case, might
prove benefical.
I am, Sir, your's, &c., BECKS.

[We insert the above with pleasure, and beg to assure
our worthy Correspondent that a Reformed Parliament
will redress the grievance of which he so justly complains,
as well as all other grievances of a public nature. The
fountain head once purified, will purify the streams of
corruption throughout the country.—En. Sox.]

THE THREE PERENNIAL CHANCELLORS.
—The three Chancellors who have held the seals the
longest are—Lord ELLESMERZ, who held them twenty
years within a few days; Lord HARDWICKE, twenty years
and nine months ; and Lord ELDON, during the two
periods of his being in office, twenty-five years within a
few days.—Life of Lord Northington.

India, stay there twenty years, work hard, get money, save

kind-hearted soul you will be !

The week before last, a maiden lady, residing
at Borham, Sussex, aged 80, was in the morning supposed
to be dead, and the usual preparations were made for the
melancholy occasion ; but at four o'clock (" to the great
consternation of her relatives," as a provincial journalist
has it), she revived, and is now in perfect health.
