EAST RETFORD-SATURDAY.

TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN.

SIR—On Friday last, the 15th inst., a meeting took
place in the Town Hail here, which was numerously
attended ; the Duke of Newcastle in the Chair, supported
by Henry Gaily Knight, Esq., M. P., G. H. Vernon, Esq.,
M.P., and other gentlemen, including a host of parsons,
with the Duke's private Chaplain—the latter a strong elec-
tioneering character, and well known as such. The an-
nounced object of the meeting was to set on foot a subscrip-
tion for the distressed Irish Clergy; and although the
Nol3'.e Duke is known to be a bad speaker, and evidently
unacquainted with the common duties of Chairman, still on
this momentous occasion he was induced to accept that
office at the earnest solicitation (as he told us) of a depu-
tation of Clergymen. The• Noble Duke having then been
so put into the Chair, endeavoured to show to the audience
that he was reluctant to fill the office, and at the same time
endeavoured to convince us (which I believe was the truth)
is that he was hostile to the principle of the subscription,
because, as he said, the laws ought to be obeyed and en-
forced whilst they were the laws of the land ; but the pre-
sent Government, whilst they were the tools of a certain
individual, and in his hands, could not enforce those laws."
The Duke further stated that " he was sorry any Bill
altering tithes had passed in this country or Ireland ; 'he
was for the Parsons having their full rights," i. e. the tithe
of all capital employed. He concluded by stating (with
his usual smile) that it was a long time since he had been
within the walls of the Retford Town Hall, but hoped that
the present would not be the last time that he should meet
them there, and trusted the time would not be long ere he
did so again. All this has by many (not exactly the Duke's
friends) been thought to smell of something very much like
apolitical job of the Tories ; for you must know that the
Duke's party have the ascendancy in the borough in-Muni-
cipal affairs, not owing to superior strength, but to trick
and supposed foul mancevring ; and the Duke no doubt
knowing this, thought the present opportunity a good one.
The other speakers were Mr. Vernon and Mr. Knight,
both Consesvative Whigs, and opposed to the Government,
and though each endeavoured to steer clear of " party,"
each in turn could not help deprecating the Government. I
thought it my duty therefore, in accordance with the wishes
of some others, to give you a brief outline, from which, if
you see sufficient for an article in your valuable Paper, we
hope the public will be favoured with it.—Yours, Sz,c.

THAMES ASSOCIATION,
FOR THE PROTECTION OF COASTING AND
FISHING VESSELS AGAINST STEAMERS.

(From a Correspondent.)
An Association, under the above title, which has been
long wanted, is now in the course of formation. The
frightful loss of life, and the vast destruction of property,
occasioned by the reckless 'mismanagement and desperate
rivalry of the larger steamers, have induced many of the
captains and owners of the small coasting craft to associate
themselves together for self-defence. Many of the Mem-
bers for maritime towns, who have observed the injuries
sustained by their constituents, have promptly come forward
to patronize the Association, and promised to promote any
Parliamentary measure. that can be devised to prevent the
continuance of those terrible accidents with which the public
car has been long pained. Mr. WiLics, the patriotic Mem-
ber for Boston, was among the earliest to offer his support
to this philanthropic object. Colonel SEALE, the Member
for Dartmouth, has most warmly engaged in the under-
taking, from the " indignation," to use the language of the
son. Member, " with which he has perused the frequent
accounts of accidents on the river:" The LORD MAYOR
expresses himself very faVourably towards the Association.
Capt. PECHELL, the Member for Brighton, pledges himself
cheerfully to give every assistance that so desirable an object
deserves whenever the subject is brought'before Parliament ;
and numbers of other Members concur in the same ex-
pression of feeling.
What the particular measures of prevention is intended
to be, has not yet been made public ; but we understand'
that a Committee will be moved for early in the Session,
and that the Parliamentary agents are preparing the case
to be brought before it. In the mean time, much good will
be effected by organizing the captains and owners of the
small craft into a formidable Association for self-defence, as
the•steamers will be somewhat less reckless in their conduct
when they find, that instead of comparatively poor and
isolated individuals, whose threats of seeking legal redress
they could formerly laugh at, they will now have a body of
some thousands, hejided by many influential Members of
the Legislature, who will have the means 'of bringing there
to a sense, if not of humanity and justice, at all events of
prudence and responsibility. We shall communicate such
further information, as we may receive it, of the progress
of this Association, which has our best wishes for its success.
