TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN.
SIR,—A few commercial men feeling warmly for the glo-
rious and righteous cause now at stake in Hungary, and ad-
miring your patriotic exertions as a public journalist in
favour of the poor destitute Hungarian& now seeking a re-
treat on our hospitable shores, have subscribed four pounds.
Your noticing the above in your journal, will oblige
Yours obediently,
MARTIN WE FRANKS.
White Horse Hotel, Leeds, July 6, 1849.

TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN.
SlR,—Allow me to thank you for your spirited and able ad-
vocacy of the cause of the noble though exiled and distressed
Hungarians. I could say much for them, but I feel that the
generous hearts of Englishmen need but to know that the
cause of humanity and religious freedom is in danger to
arouse their warmest sympathy. I enclose you one pound
and I hope that many of my friends will follow my example.
I am, dear Sir, your much obliged
195, Blackfriars-road, July 7, 1849.

J. BRADY.

TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN.

Sin,—l enclose my mite towards the subscription for the
gallant Hungarians, which you have nobly distinguished
yourself as having set on foot. Will you allow me to ask
through your columns whether the time has not arrived in
which earnest and energetic means should be taken to show
how deeply the sympathies of the English nation are excited
on behalf of the Hungarian patriots, who having so lately
driven the Austrian eagle fr,,m their land, are now imperilled
by the savage hordes of Russia? Every day I look with
anxiety at the newspapers, in the hope of seeing an account
of public meetings held, or projected, for the purpose
of collecting subscriptions and expressing opinions in
favour of the righteous cause of Hungarian liberty, so
infamously belied by a great portion of our press, and so un
happily neglected by the mass of our people. Surely the
time has come when England should be raised to a know-
ledge of the atrocities perpetrated by the brutal minions of
Austria and Russia, and words of measureless indignation
bur:el against the Imperial hangmen at Presburg, and the
infamous brutes who did not scruple to flog a noble Hunga-
rian woman because her son had joined the patriot cause.
Such acts as these indicate the character cf the detested Go-
vernment which it is proposed to establish over a brave and
noble nation—a Government whose .‘ justice" is the murder
of the wise and good, and whose order" is the enthrone-
ment of rapacity and crime. From one end of England to
the other there should be public meetings, in which
national feeling should be so strongly expressed as to make
the despots of Austria and Russia feel that the moral force
of civilization is against them, and be to the heroic assertors
of their country's rights a certain prophecy that whatever
temporary defects they may sustain, their cause must tri-
umph in the end; for it is identified with human progress,
consecrated by its harmony with the laws of God.

METROPOLITAN' COMMISSION

OF SEWERS.

A general Court of the Metropolitan Commissions of
Sewers was held on Thursday, at the Court-House,
Greek-street, Soho-square. Lord Ebrington in the
chair.

OFFENSIVE DRAINAGE NEAR THE HOUSES OF PAR.
LIAMENT.—A complaint was received from the Speaker
of the House of Commons on the offensive odours aris-
ing from the drainage in the vicity of the Houses of
Parliament, and calling upon the Commissioners of
sewers to abate the nuisance arising from the same.
In reference to this subject a report was presented by
Mr. Golto, the assistant surveyor, setting forth mea-
sures to improve the drainage of that locality, and on
the general features of the district. The report
contained the following remarkable passage!—" The
gullies of the sewers in Abingdon street emitted very
offensive effluvia, which I am of opinion proceed from
St. Margaret's churchyard, being completely filled up
with bodies in a state of decomposition, whereby the
soil is saturated with gases penetrating into the sewers.
From inquiries I have made, it appears that particular
gullies are offensive at one time and not at another,
which may be accounted for by the wind passing down
one grating and forcing the gases up another." After
a abort conversation it was resolved, " That copies of
Mr. Golto's report, on the complaint of the Speaker of
the House of Commons, be sent to the Speaker, and also
to the Commissioners for rebuilding the new palace at
Westminster."

THE WESTMINSTER IMPROVEMENT COMMISSION.—
Sir E. Milne, one of the Westminster Improvement
Commissioners, attended the court, and stated that that
board would shortly be in a position to open the New
Victoria-street, but until some general plan of drainage
was settled, the builders would not look at it. He
wished to know when it would be determined what ge-
neral plan would be settled definitively, so that their
works might go on consistently with their plans. The
Commissioners would be able to throw open Victoria'
street in a month's time at the outside. Lord Ebrington
said the Court was anxious for a decision on the ques-
tion. He thought he might say for the rest of the Com-
missioners that they were desirous to proceed with alt
speed consistent with safety and economy. Sir E. Milne
expressed his satisfaction with this assurance, and re.
tired. Several works of emergency were then ordered,
and the Court adjourned.

CITY DISPENSARY, QUEEN-STREET, CHEAPSIDE.—
From the 6011 annual report of this most useful charity,
it appears that the number of patients within the last
three years have increased more than sixty per cent.
over the previous annual average. The institution was
founded in the year 1789, and from its opening to the
close of last year 288,749 patients have been cured and
relieved, and upwards of 85,000 visited at their
own houses; while various accidents and urgent
cases have been treated without letters of recom-
mendation. The number of patients during the last
year very nearly reached 10,000. The increase of
recipients in the benefits of the charity having occasioned
the annual expenditure to exceed the income by upwards
of 2001, the Lord Bishop of Hereford has signified his
willingness to advocate the institution at the church of
St. Mary.le-Bow, when the Right Hon. the Lord Mayor
and Sheriffs will attend.

SOUTHAMPTON, FRIDAY MORNING.—The Express
steamer, which arrived this morning from Havre, an-
nounces that the cotton-market yesterday was extremely
active owing in a great measure to advices received per
Hermann. The sales amounted to 3,500 bales, at very
firm prices; indeed, in some instances, a slight advance
WAS obtained on late quotations. The Marie Caroline,
from Gonaives, arrived at Havre yesterday afternoon.
The amount reported as taken from the Quakers
in support of their testimony against ecclesiasticol dertmatia
lad year, i§ Aged it upwArd§ 9t ton thousand p9und§.
