FOR THE SUN.

MR. EDITOR—I observe in many of the adver-
tisemoits from the Rail-road Companies the offer of a certain
number of their shares to the proprietors of lands and others
through whose districts it is proposed to carry their line of con-
veyance. It is scarcely necessary to caution the land-owners
against falling into this insidious trap, or to remind them that
this act of kindness will prove to them as it is intended a Judas
kiss. I believe it will be found that 99 land-owners out of
every 100 will oppose these treacherous projects, for there never
was a measure proposed for adoption more hostile to their in-
terests. It is held out to them as a great benefit, that the rates
of conveyance will be reduced ; but granting this (which is
matter of very great doubt), let them remind themselves on the
other hand of what they will lose. In point of fact the land-
owner has very little interest in a cheap conveyance of goods.
The project, such as it is, is intended principally for the benefit
of the manufacturing interests. To the land-owner it will
prove injurious in the highest degree. Its direct object is to
supersede the use of horses in the inland carrying trade of the
country, and it is scarcely necessary to remind the farmer, that
any material reduction in the breed and use of horses will
depriVe him of a market for one great portion of his pro-
duce. Food for cattle creates as essential a demand for
the produce of land as food for man, and is- one of the chief
sources of agricultural prosperity. Do not let the farmer de-
ceive himself by supposing that land that now furnishes food
for cattle could be profitably cultivated for other purposes, on
losing a description of consumers, he loses necessarily a great
demand for his produce,_ which is the sole end of all his calcu-
lations, and if, as a substitute, he attempts to cultivate other
articles, he loads the market with a produce for which there is
no adequate demand. Those truths are so plain and so obvious,
and practically so well known to every one who is engaged in
agriculture, that the statement of them may appear to be very
superfluous ; but, at a time when so many artful attempts
are making to hold out the prospect of visionary adsantages,
and to entrap the land-owners by cunning promises; it is good
to call back his attention to the appropriate sources of his real
. , and accustomed interests. A YEOMAN.

THE FIFTH OF NOVEMBER.

Mit. EDlTOlt—f 14 thP Chronicle of Wednesday,
Jan. 19, is the following paragraph : _ _ _

" At some of the villages hi Sussex the inha-
. Wants have agreed to abolish the old GUY FAUX
FESTIVAL on the sth of November, as being a
" Great Gunpowder Lie, and tending to asperse
falsely the character of Catholics. The children
are to be kept closely to school on the sth Nov.,
_and to have a holiday on the King's Birth-day
- instead."

In answer to this; I have to say, that, although
livingin the heart of Sussex, and travelling about
-the county, I have heard of nothing of the kind,
-and, en the contrary, know that in many villages
-the inhabitants son..cribed a certain quantity of
faggots, to keep up, with unabated spirit,
• this memorable, day and festival in the last year,
. and, it is the intention of most of them, this
-year to continue the celebration with renewed
vigour. To show that the above paragraph is a
falsehood, it is only needful to state, that the
urajority of the village schools, of which, too,
there are not many in number, are Day or Sun-
day Schools, and, consequently, the chiLdren
cannot be confined to them in the evenings of the

SHIP CANAL.

Ma. EDlTOR—Having seen in the Sherborne
Mercury of Monday last that a Meeting had been
held at Axminster, of Land-owners and others,
for the purpose of taking into consideration this
Canal, I was induced, in passing through the
town, to inquire what number attended, and, to
my great surprise, learnt that the worthy Chair-
man and two or three others were the only Land-
owners on the line, and that he and a Solicitor in
London had either purchased, or contracted for
their purchase, long since the measure was before
the Public. The others that attended might
amount to about half a score, and two of those cubit
and coal merchants, who admit that their trade
would be thrown open, if this measure were car-
ried. I could not ascertain who the other angry
Gentleman were, except the Worthy Knight who
moved the thanks, and who, living near Lyme,
must, I conceive, not be underany great apprehen-
sions of this wild and visionary scheme being so
great a nuisance to him. Rut, Mr. Editor, can it
be supposed that a hundred such meetings as this
can possibly do any injury to the concern ? or that
the Land-owners or Merchants of the United
Empire, with their overflowing subscriptions, are
thus to be duped, convinced as they are of the
benefit that will arise to the trade of the country,
and of its great national importance ?

POETILY.

INSCRIPTION on the TOMB of RICHARD PARRY,
of Mannorawen, in the County of Pembroke, Esq., who
died at the early age of twenty-tive, and to whom, after an
interval of many years, the commemorating stone was
erected.
n ere mortal PARRY sleeps, entomb'd in youth ;
Whose mind was radiance, and whose heart was truth.
Simple as infancy, as manhood wise,
O'er a short course he ran, and seiz'd the prize;
Heaven, whose high workings baffle human sight,
For the rich jewel made the casket slight :
Haply that thus, with unimpeded ray,
The gem might sparkle in its native day :
And, drinking lustre from the etherial
Glow with new light as time still rolls on time.

My Friend all hail! by life's long toil oppress'd,
Thy comrade feels how blessed is thy rest,
Yet as he dreams, with fifty years between,
Of thy dear presence in this breathing scene;
And sees thee smile, and hears thy classic lore;
Then, waking, finds thee by his side no more;
The tear of man will trickle from his eyes;
And his rash love demand thee from the skies.
ut soon 'tis past : he bows to Heaven's decree ;
Nor wishes THEE with mix, but HIM with THEE.

An Inquisition was held yesterday at Green
Hotel, Portugal-street, before THOMAS Mous, Esq. Cnr.°;
ner, upon the body of Daniel Cox, Esq. a Lieutenant t
Royal Navy, who was found hanging on Thursday last in Ina
bed-chamber in that Hotel. It was proved by Mr. Green alti
others that the deceased, who had served in a distinguishe
manner under Sir Thomas Hardy, had complained for sever;
days of being ill and having a severe head-ache. Hi.s banker
o
and agent's books, his watch, money and razors, were I,
perfect order in his room, and on the table, near an open ra%o"
was found a piece of paper with the following words : to
" I die the victim of folly, adopting a character foreign„
my natural one. God forgive me. " DAN. COX. a
It was also proved that he was in good circumstances, •014,
had never overdrawn his agents, in whose hands there W 35
large balance in hi stated, of
Dr. John Haslam, that the deceased had a distortion
the spine, which rendered a person more liable to an affection of
the brain.
After a long argument amongst themselves, the Jury
urned a verdict of Insanity."

COMMON COUNCIL.

Yesterday, a Court of Common Council Was
held at Guildhall, when a Petition was presented from sundry
Auctioneers, praying the Court to Petition Parliament against
the Bill pending, relative to the Equitable Loan Bank Com-
pany, which was read.
A Petition was also presented from several Pawnbrokers of
the City against the Bill, which was also read ; and the Court,
after considerable discussion, came to an unanimous resolution.
to Petition both Houses of Parliament against the same—and
the Resolutions were ordered to be advertised.
The draft of Petitions being agreed to, the :Theriffs, with the
Remembrancer, were directed to present the satpe.forthwith—
and the Representatives Of the city were requested to support
the same. _ _

Vie-Count also agreed to petition Parliament against sbme
of the clauses in the Bill for forming; the Metropolitan Water
Works'. Company.
BLACKFIIIAIIS BRIDGE.-Mr. Of.Ditait called the atten-
tion of the Court to the dangerous state of'Dlackfriars bridge,
especially the pavement on each side, ' Abrupt steps had been
put up at the sides; which were' so steep in the middle of the
bridge, as to render it unsafe for any person to venture up or
down. .
The CitarrtirAN of the Committee said; that Mr. M'A'dam
had admitted that the pavement could not be lowered. In
fact, it w,as not in contemplation to have lowered the bridge so
much in the. middle.

Mr. DixoN said that of all the shabby appearances attached
to the city of London; the condition df the footpath of Black-
friars-bridge was the worst. He understood that the middle
part of the bridge had been lowered two feet lower than origi-
nally contemplated'.
The Loan MAYott said, that as the business was now
brought before the Court it should be attended to, whether the
fault was attributable to Mr. M'Adam Or the Contractor.
Mr. SAVAGE said, that it was the intention of the Committee
to remedy the evil forthwith, no matter at whose expence.

rmo[tNING CHRONICLE.]

Mr. Richard Martin again made his appear-
ance at Bow-street, yesterday, when he improved
on his former efforts. The logic is unique in
its kind ; it is as difficult to keep fast hold of a
live eel as to fix the lion. Gentleman a single
moment. What he says on the subject of the
switch and bludgeon, and much he does say on
the subject, affords a very good criterion of his
capability to give evidence. Our readers must
recollect that we pointed out to them the

Report of Mr. Martin's stating, one moment,
that a boy beat a donkey with a bludgeon,
and the next moment stating that he brat it

with a switch, as affording a proof of how little I
his statements were to be relied on, either from
some confusion of intellect, or from his imagine- '
Lion disturbing his memory. We could not tell
whether the boy made use of a switch or a blud-
geon, but we know if he used a switch, it was
not a bludgeon, and if he used a bludgeon, it was
not a switch, and that therefore Mr. Martin could
not be right in both instances. This distinction,
however, seems beyond the grasp of poor Mr.
Martin, the half of whose speech is taken up with
shewing that the instrument was a bludgeon, and
not a switch. Our readers will in another column
find the report on which our observation was found-
ed. We alluded to the consistency over and over
again, copying the material virts of the Report
into our columns, not with the view of endeavour-
ing to prove that the switch was a bludgeon, or the
bludgeon was a switch, but that the evidence of
the man who swore one moment that the instru-
ment was a bludgeon, and the moment after that
it was a switch, was to be received with great
allowance. The production of the instrument
by the general officer in whose hands it was de-
posited, would not by any means throw light on
what Mr. Martin said at the time respecting it.
A thief who denied he had taken a purse, might
as well put his hand into his pocket afterwards
and produce the purse, exclaiming, " See, I did
not say that I did not steal the purse, for here it
is." We imagined that the doctrine of holding
to hail for libel had been abandoned, its purpose
having been served. Mr. Minshull, however,
seems determined to revive a controversy whic
Th
e
may not end with the present proceeding.
case is not ours individually, but that of every
Journalist. If we can be held to hail, they may
soon have the doctrine applied to themselves.
