doubtless be able to produce a receipt for them. It is
not true, as reported, that when he was dead a man ran
his sword through his body ; but it is true that the
most brutal and ribald jokes, accompanied by
horse-laughter,
_rang the last knell of this de-
parted spirit.. These people have not the least care or
Concern for human life, nor have they even the
most remote idea of the proprieties of civilized society.
The corpse of SS hich I speak was allowed to remain un-
covered in the broiling sun of that fatal morning, the
eyes glaring in their sockets with the glass hue of death.
There was no kind hand to close the lids, nor to veil
even with a tattered napkin from the curiosity of the pry-
ing, the distorted features of a fellow-creature tent un-
bidden into the presence of his Maker I.
A great deal of unreasonable trash is uttered here
against the skipper of the Edinburgh Castle. No reflect-
ing man will join in this. It is vain to expect such con-
duct as one would look for from a naval officer in an
individual btit a degree removed from a common era-
man, but I repeat Crow was guilty of no unworthy
col,duct. I have had several conversations with the in-
telligent surgeon who has attended the wounded in the
hospital of the town. He states that it would be im-
possible to find men displayi..g greater fortitude and
resignation. Colonel Voisin was wounded in five places,
and suffered in consequence much bodily pain ; yet so
still and quiet was he, that the patient in the next ward
was not aware that his arm was amputated till he was
informed by the bystanders. K.

THE EDINBURGH CASTLE

STEAMER.

TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN.
Commercial Steam Packet Company.
Chief Office, Fish-street-hill, Aug. 13, 1840.
I beg to forward a translation of a letter just re-
ceived from the Mayor of Boulogne.
Yours, very obediently,
J. BLEADEN.

Sett —I received the letter which you did me the
honour of writing on the Sth inst., concerning the un-
happy event which has put your steam-packet, the
Edinburgh castle, under the sequestration of the French
authority.
Before your communication was made known to me,
I fel convinced, Sir, that the honourable Directors of
the Commercial Steam-Packet Ccmpauy were com-
pletely strangers to anything concerning the mad at-
tempt of Louis Napoleon. The assurance you give
me on that subject is quite unnecessary, and I hope
that your Captain will succeed in justifying himself in
the most satisfactory manner.
I have sent your letter to the Procureur-Gencral of
the Royal Court of Douay, who is charged with tie
instruction of that affair, and it will remain amongst the
pieces of the criminal proceedings.
Receive, Sir, the assurance of my perfc t consi-

dcraiion.
(Signed) AL. ADAM, Mayor of Boulogne.
To Mr. John Bkaden, Secretary, Btc ,Stc.

GREEK BONDS.

TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN.
SIR-1 am an unfortunate holder of Greek Bonds,
which I have held for 11 or 12 years, and during all
that time I have but once observed any effort made by
the contractors, Messrs. Ricardo, to force our claims on
the Greek Government. 1 observe you always advocate
the interests of the holders of Colombian, Chilian, Por-
tuguese, and Spanish Bonds, but not a solitary voice
among the London Press is ever held up in favour of
the Greek Bondholders, who have received no interest
since July, 1836. Let me supplicate you to notice our
claims, and to assist us with your powerful arm to ob-
tain that justice for which we have so long and so pa-
tiently, though in vain, waited.
I am Sir, vour's respectfully,
A CONSTANT SUBSCRIBER.
