POST-OFFICE DEMANDS ON RAIL-
WAYS.

TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN.
SlR,—ln the discussions which have taken place upon the
transmission of the mails by the railways without paying " toll,"
although leaving to arbitration the amount of compensation
for the wear and tear" of the rails, one letter has appeared
from a Railroad Proprietor, who appears to take a partial view
of the subject. He considers that " a more harsh, tyrannical,
or unjust measure, a more glaring violation of the rights of
property it would be difficult to find in the annals of civilized
Europe." He is further of opinion that the property of the
Railways " is as absolutely and entirely vested in the proprie-
tors as any private property whatever in its possessor, or the
Crown itself in our present gracious Sovereign."
I am a bondholder upon a turnpike road in one of the mid-
land counties, for which I have hitherto received 5 per cent.
interest (a rate limited by law), and also one instalment of 10
per cent. in liquidation of part of the principal. The bond
came to me by inheritance ; it was lent under an Act of Par-
liament for making the road, and was no procedure of mine.
When the Railway which runs nearly parallel to it was applied
for, the bondholders petitioned that if the tolls of the road
were in consequence no longer sufficient to meet our claim,
the Railway Company should become liable for the deficiency.
We thought this equitable, as the Company are not limited in
the amount of their profits, and laid evidence before Parlia-
ment that their annual dividends would be 11 per cent. from
the rates made payable in their Act. Our petition was op-
posed by the Railway Company and rejected, and it is become
doubtful whether, on the completion of the railway, there will
remain sufficient traffic upon the turnpike road to pay a further
instalment upon the principal sum, or whether the interest
even can then be provided for. We consider ourselves in the
light of shareholders upon the road so long as our claims are
unpaid, for the road could not have been made without these
loans in the first instance.
On this very road, if the mails bad been liable to tolls, the
revenue from them would have materially reduced the original
debt, but the mails on all the turnpike roads run not only toll
free, but pay nothing towards the " wear and tear" of the

road.
I now submit to your readers whether " civilized Europe"
does not contain at least one other measure " harsh, tyranni-
cal, and unjust."
By a report to the House of Lords, it appears there are
1,119 turnpike trusts in England and Wales; that the debts
upon them (including 321,526/. for unpaid interest), amount
to 7,304,803/. (upwards of seven millions and a quarter) being
3681. per mile upon 19,798 miles of road, guaranteed by 3,783
Acts of Parliament, obtained at an expense of 1,500,0001. (one
million and a half. )
Upon some roads the cross and branch traffic to the railway
stations will doubtless increase their revenue ; but upon those
which lie parallel to the great lines of railway, a serious dimi-
nution will take place. Yet we were told that " vested rights"
must give way to public convenience and national improvement.
All we now ask is, that those who held this language to us will
not oppose its application in their own case, when called upon
by public convenience and national improvement to make the
sacrifice.
The Post-office authorities have a further motive for inter-
ference from having already been subjected to an additional
expenditure of 18,0001. per annum, at a period when they are
urged to sanction a great and general reduction in the rates or
postage.

A TURNPIKE ROAD BONDHOLDER.
July 14, 1838.

THE QUEEN'S ARMS.—We observe that some of
the Queen's tradesmen have marshalled the royal arms upon a lozenge,
according to the practice of heraldry as to females, having been at the
trouble of removing the shield on which they were wont to appear. We
suspect that this is a piece of precipitate loyalty, showing the danger of
" a little learning;" and lest others should be seduced to follow that
expensive example, we may mention, that according to the heraldric
authorities, sovereign princes, whether male or female, always blazen on
a shield. "By the universal practice of Europe," says that sage autho-
rity Nisbet, " unmarried women must place their paternal arms in

lozeng, s or fusile shields, and cannot place them in formal triangular
shields, as men do, except they be sovereign Queens or Prircesses ; quia
naturum nobilioris sesus participant, says John Fettle in his G:ory
of Generosity;' and that sovereign Princesses may trim their shield of
arms with all the exterior ornaments belonging to a King or sovereign
Prince: as Mary, Queen of Scotkind, carried the royal achievement of
that kingdom entire, and the same did Queen Elizabeth that of Eng-
land ''—Scotsman.

The fol:owing daring robbery, committed in broad
daylight on Wednesday last, close to Lord Holland's Park, has created
a great sensation in the neighbourhood of Kensington. Between four
and five o'clock on Wednesday afternoon, as Miss Ellen Auterac, the
sister of a highly respectable medical practitioner residing in High-
stree', Kei.siegton, was walking in a lane leading from Kensington, by

_ .
the side of Lord Holland's Park, to Notting-hill, she was stopped by a !
man of decent appearance, about 30 years of age, who pulled out,
a pistol, which he presented at her breast, and violently demanded
her money. Bliss Auterac, although dreadfullly alarmed, with
great coolness replied that, having only come out for a walk,
she had not brought her purse with her. On which the ruffian said
he must then have her watch. That, Miss Auterac told him, she
had also left at home, on which, without further parley, the villain re.
moved from her rea a gold eye-glass and chain, with which, after again
presenting his pistol, and threatening, if she attempted to follow him, he
would shoot her, he decamped in the direction of Notting-hill, and
effected his escape. The spot where the outrage took p 1 tee is close
under the windows of a large establishment for young ladies kept by
Miss Shepherd ; yet it was not observed by any person. Miss Auterac,
having somewhat recovered from the fright, proceeded towards Ken-
sington, and acquainted the first policeman she met of the occurrence,
who took her to the station-house of the T division, where she described
the felow to be about five feet four inches high, pale complexion,
dressed in a dark frock coat, buttoned close up to the neck and dark

trowsers.
Tuesday an inquest was held at Greenwich, on the
body of IVilliam James Bridgeman, aged ten years, who was drowned
on Friday morning last, while bathing. From the evidence it appeared
that the deceased, who belonged to the Royal Naval Asylum, along with
4,hree companions about the same age, had clandestinely e,caped from
the establishment for the purpose of bathing in the river. The deceased,
who could swim only a little, was sporting in the water with one of his
comrades, when he got out of his depth and was drowned. It was stated
that at certain times of the tide, the part of the river to which the boys
had resorted was exceedingly dangerous. The jury returned a verdict
of " Accidental Death." The boys had no excuse whatever for leaving
the asylum, as there is an excellent switnming bath within its boundaries.
i
Friday will long be held in remembrance by the n
habitants of Paisley, as a day of much interest in the local history of
the town. On it the sluices of Stanley Resorvoir were publicly opened,
and a plentiful supply of excellent water, conveyed by pipes placed
within the reach of the inhabitants at large. The contributing grounds
from which the supplies are drawn, extend to somewhat above 800
acres ; of that extent about forty.tive acres are occupied'as a reservoir,
which, when filled, will be at the deepest part thirty.three feet, and will
contain thirty-six million cubic feet of water. The outlay of the Com-
pany up to the present time, has been, we believe, about 32,0001.

SHARPER OUTWITTED.—At Nortlitown fair,
last week, a countrymen sold his horse for 131., of which sum 3/. was
paid in sovereigns, and a 101. flash note for the remainder. The owner
of the horse, doubting the genuine character of the note, insisted on
taking it to one of the banks; upon which the fellow who had paid it
snatched it away, and having torn it in pieces, required the repayment
of the three sovereigns. This was resolutely refused by the coun.
ti yman, observing, that he should keep the horse and the three sove.
reigns ui.til 10/. more in good money was brought him. The sharper
immediately slunk away, glad in being able to secure himself from sum.

An inquest was held on Friday, at Nottingham, on
an infant child. It appeared from the evidence that a basket, directed
"'Mrs. Jones, Albion.street, Nottingham," was sent from London by
the Commercial coach, which arrived here on Wednesday morning, and
upon inquiry no such person as Mrs. Jones could be found in Albion.
street or the neighbourhood, and some straw being observed in the
basket it was conjectured to contain game, and, being
apprehensive it
would spoil, the basket was opened, when the porter was horror-struck
at discovering what he supposed to be game to be a child. The surgeon,
having examined the child, said it was the body of a female about five
months old, that it appeared to have been perfectly healthy, and bore no
marks of violence; he thought it probable the child had been overlaid or
died in convulsions, or from the effects of a small quantity of laudanum
given to quiet it —Verdict accordingly.
SIR WALTER SCOTT.—The gentry and inhab;

ants of the county of Selkirk have determined cn erecting a testimonial
cf their respect and admiration for his memory, and the Town Council
of Selkbk have unanimously granted a site at the market cross. The
Duke of Buccleugh. with his usual liberality and patriotic spirit, has
come forward to head the subscription with a sum of fifty g,ineas.—
Scotsman.
SCOTCH MARRIAGES.—III Scotland, the facil'

of marriage startles a southern. I remember, when partaking of the
hospitalities of Mr. David Laing, at Edinburgh, that Dr. Lee, towards
eight o'clock, seemed to leave the room abruptly, after looking at his
watch. He returned within twenty minutes. " What havo you been
about ?" observed the host. " Only marrying a couple on the third flat
in the High-street;" was the doctor's reply. This, with us, would
have been a special licence matter, at the cost of at least 301.—Dr. Dib-
din's Northern Tour.

MR OwEN.—The well-known Mr. Owen, from
Lanark, has been enlightening the good people of Norwich on the sub.

ject of his paralellogrammatic plan for making all the men, women, and
children of the earth angels of heaven.

INDIAN GRATITUDE.—The following extract of
a letter, from a lady in Upper Canada to a friend in Edinburgh, exhibits,
in the most graphic manner, the simple, but sincere and honest, grati-
tude which even the ignorant Indian is found to evince to his friends.
Speaking of the late disturbances in Canada—she is at heart a stern
royalist--she says " In the upper part of the province, which was more
immediately the scene of warfare, the coloured population rose in abodv,
requesting that they might be put foremost in the ranks in " defence of
that Government which treated them as men I"—a large portion of the
coloured people of Canada are' runaway slaves from the land of liberty."
Here is pictured the noble impulse of nature, which the' untutored
its
Indian displays in enthusiasm and devotion to the cause of the Govern.v
Yhings towards one

The IVexford Independent, whose probable ex-

Elrington, was alluded to a day or two ago by our Dublin correspon.
dent, we are happy to see has not only survived the assault, but a
subscription has been set on foot, in order to meet the costs and
damages imposed on the proprietor. At a meeting held last Tuesday,
at Pagaot, John H. Talbot, Esq., M.P., in the chair, a series of resolu-
tious was passed, of which one was—" That we consider it our bounden
duty at once to enter into a subscription (which we feel certain will be
followed by every parish in the county), in order to assist John Greene,
Esq., to meet the recent legal charges imposed upon him."
THE MAN OF SEVEN WIVES.--While standing
to examine these, and wondering at their strange uniformity, a respect.
able-looking old gentleman, who was passing through the burying ground,
laid his hand upon my shoulder, and pointing to a handsomely cut stone
fixed in the wall of the church immediately behind them, told me that
the name and effigy engraved upon it were those of a master mason of
Salzbourg, and the seven iron crosses which reared themselves in a row
before him, marked the graves of seven wives whom he had lived to
place in this orderly array before taking his own station against the
church.wall, whence be seemed destined to look down upon them for
ever. lleaven grant, fur his soul's sake, that they all came fairly by their

lief upon his tomb.—Yienna and the Austrians.

ETIQUETTE OF THE COURT OF LOUIS
At the King's dinner and supper, the captain of the guard was always
behind his Majesty's arm-chair. He allowed no one at these times to
converse with him upon business. At rising, when the first maid in
waiting had put on the Queen's shoes and stockings, her Majesty herself
put on her garters, which, as well as her petticbat, the bedchamber
woman gave to her, having received them from the first maid in wait-
ing, who had presented them to her. The Queen, as it appears, had
the liberty to put on her garters herself. Upon occasions it was allowed to
the prig to do the same, but the first valet.de.chambre was obliged
at bed time to untie the garter of the left leg ; it is not said that he
undid the other. His Majesty had a cravatier, who was to arrange his
neckcloth ; the office of putting on the cravat belonged to the master of
the wardrobe. If, however, when the cravat was put on, the cravatier
discovired that any part of it did not sit well, the cravatier could touch
it, and himself put on the King's cravat in the absence of the superior
officer. Well may M. Barriere exclaim how irksome a thing Royalty
must have seemed to one who could not put on as he pleased, his gar-
ters, his cravat, or his stockings ! But to continue—in the higher de-
Partments, in the first employments of the state, particular privileges
overwhelmed with good_luck and glory those who possessed those em.
loyments. If the King desired to have a little broth in the course of
Pthe morning, the first maitre d'hotel had the right of accompanying it.
If a us de justice" was held, it was the grand chamberlain's privilege
to lie on the ground at his master's feet, unless, however, he preferred
a place under the canopy which covered the monarch. The grand
ecuyer had the misfortune to be more conveniently or comfortably
seated, but, as a consolation, he wore round his neck the King's dress
sword. At the time of mass, the chief almoner gave the holy water to
the King. At the chase, at the moment his Majesty mounted on horse.
back to go to the laisser courre, the grand veneur presented to him a
stick to move the branches out of the way. Every employment
had thus its prerogative, which satisfied the self-love of the holder
of it. Nothing was disdained at his court which might serve as an
introduction to favour, or serve as a guide to fortune. Placed nearer to
the Prince, the first gentlemen of the Chamber had, according to ancient
etiquette, more agreeable duties to perform; they were commissioned
to order the apparel, par ratroovainaire, when there were balls, ballets,
masquerades, and similar diversions at court. It was their office to re:
gulate the characters which were to be taken, and the comedies which
were to be performed. It is easy from these circumstances to conceive
the number and importance of their occupations. As for the gentlemen
in ordinary, it was their privilege to go and receive the ambassadors of
the Schah of Persia, and the messengers of the Grand Turk. A con
stable and certain marshals of France once held a place amongst them,
an honour of which they had reason to be proud, and they are not the
less glorious in the eyes of the nation that they have had as brethren, at
various periods, Malherbe, Racine, and Voltaire.—Thorns' Book of the
Court.

On the Truro railroad, on Saturday, a young matt,
rimed Mitchell, in getting off the waggons which were loadeil with cop-
per ore, got his frock entangled in one of the whe,lt, which threw him
ou the rails, and the waggons piOsing over him cut him in hal. up the
middle of his body.—E.reter Post.
