EitS.—As the gaoler
Queen-square Office was conveying two noto-
rbieoluoEsngfSeicng to
llAowPsE, or Two PitisoN
denominated ", running dustmen," to the House
of Correction, on Thursday last, on arriving in Lincoln's-Inn-
fields, they insisted upon the officer producing his warrant, or
they would not proceed further, and on his complying to their re-
quest they both ran away in different directions and escaped;
their liberty, however,, was of short duration, as George Poole,
assisted by his brother Alfred, succeeded in apprehending both
of them after a determined resistance, anti lodged them safe in
Tothill-fields prison.

WESTERN SHIP CANAL.

TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN.

Slit—ln consequence of some observation*
•
made on the Subscription L • . ist to undirtak
ing, we feet it dtie to the Subscribers, aid-Others
who were not present at the three days' investi-
gation and discussion in the Committee of the
House of Commons, on this point, to make the
following statement :
We most unequivocally assert, that upwaals of 13,900 Shares
were bona fide subscribed for ; that the deposits on such Shares-
were paid into the Bankers, Messrs, Bosanquet and Co., arta
Messrs. Coutts and Co. • that not a single name was added,
nor a single Share subscribed, for the mere purpose of
increasing the apparent number; that on the contrary a'very
large amount were refused ; and that in the three instances in-
which it is asserted that names were put dawn without the
authority of the parties, such names were subscribed by Gen-
tlemen of the first character, to whom we can refer for expla-
nation. • ..

The integrity of the List was substantiated by the• vote of a
majority, consisting of 31 members of the highest character,
and we fearlessly assert that the representations which were pre—
viously made against it were false and unfounded calumnies.
We are, Sir, •
Your most obedient servants,
KING and LUKIN.
No. 5, Gray's Inn-square, June 4, 1825.
