TO THE EDITOR. OF THE SUN.

MR. EDITOR—.I trust to your impartiality to
insert the following answer to the mis-statements
of Mr. HUNT relative to his obtaining possession
of the shop in Pall Mall. That the disturbances
complained of occurred only on on. occasion is
true, but his subsequent assertion, that I had in-
correctly stated the grounds on which he obtain-
ed possession, is utterly unfounded. In the first
place, I never let the shop to Mr. Jinx; nor had
on any occasion either seen or conversed with hint
until he had established himself there. The person
lowborn I let the place is a Mr.CuattLas NtcuoiLs,
wbo stated that he wanted it for himself for
the purpose of vending pictures, articles of
&c. as lam convinced that th• proprietor
would never have consented to the shop being
opened as a mart for radical eofee, or to its be-
ing occupied by such a character as Mr. Hunt. So
anxious is he, in fact, to rid himself of such a tenant,
that I am commissioned to offer him fifty pounds,
and a receipt for six months of the rent due, on
condition of his immediately quitting the pre-
mises.

With respect to the insinuations thrown out by
him, my character is too well established during
the seven years that I have resided in Pall-mall,
to suffer in the most trifling degree from the ac-
cusations of such a man as Mr. HUNT.

_
ntanotersm.—The dangerous and destruc:iee
principles of the Ribbon Association are clearly
developed in the trial of one of its Members,
which took place at the Commission Court in
Green-street, on Thursday last. The person
convicted ou this occasion was a scho,dmaster,
residing in Clarence-street, North-wall ; and
when the diabolical objects of the in,titation
can be taken up and adopted by an individual
in his walk of life, it skews to what a dan-
gerous extent these affiliations must have been
carried.. He must have possessed at least some
education—and to what an insidious use it was
applied, may be gathered from a perusal of the
trial. It will also he seen how ingenious the
Members of this Association are in veiling, under
pretence of charity, the purposes for which the
subscriptions are raised to forward their nefa-
rious plans. We cannot see why the Catholic
rent collecting by another Association • might
not in time be converted to the same objects
--that is, when there is a sufficient fund in
' their Exchequer. The only difference we can
discern between the two Associations is, that one
acts secretly and it bound by oaths, the other ex-
ercises its functions openly, and is only bound by
'common feeling ; but the hopes and expecta-
tions of both evidently tend to the same point
—to gain a supremacy in the country. Do
the latter body ever attempt to remonstrate
with or break up the nefarious confederacy of
the former, though of the same persuasion—as-
suredly not, and yet we hear them rail against
every thing else, but this Association of their
brethren who are committing all the mischief aul
injury in the country. Is not this simple fact
sufficient to spew that one party looks upon the
other as no auxiliary to the success of its projects,
and that no peace can be expected in the country
until both are put down by the strong arm of the
law.—(Dublin Correspondent, May 1.)

It aispeArs by letters of the II th March, re-
ceived. from Para, that the precipitate flight of
the Vice-Consul and English residents from that
place was not justified by any real danger in
which they were placed. It was the fear of the
fugitives, and. not the recommendation of the lo-
cal authorities, which dictated the step. Only
two or three Englishmen had the courage to re-
main ; and they did
.so, it is said, in direct oppo-
sition to the advice, and almost to the remon-
strances, of the Vice-Consul. The Government
at Para had been prompt and successful in put-
tiug down the insurrection out of which the al-
arm had arisen. The insurgents had been totally
defeated at Villa de Conde, and a capitulation
had taken place, in which they tenewed their
obedience to the Government. Order and tran-
quillity had therefore b.en entirely restored iu
Para, however, no foreigner, throughout the
progress of the insurrection, had been exposed to
danger, or even to insult.—(Morning Paper.)

Mr. Sw.t (since dead) having signified his
intention to vacate his scat in Parliament, caused a great bustle
in the borough of Penryn last week. The Candidates are Lord

We are happy to hear that the report of the
death of Lord CRANSTOUN, inserted in sorne.of
the Public. Journals, is unfounded, and that his

have been expected after the serious injury he
sastained.--.—(New Times.)

The men-of-war's men on the blockade station,
who have just superseded the preventive service
along the Sussex coast, are seen constantly walk-
iug on the beach, armed with pistols and a sabre.
At night they are particularly strict in their at-
tention to persons on the beach, and to boats
coming ou shore. Indeed no boat, whether em-
ployed in fishing or for pleasure, is permitted to
land without being overhauled by the "2" be-
longing to this service.

JUDGMENTS.

Jonathan Deacon, an insolvent, came up on
his petition to claim his discharge. The jowl-
vent seas a stocking maker and shopkeeper at
a village near Market llarborough : lie under-
went a long examination, from which it appeared',
that, at the time he was on the eve of going t&
prison, ho made over a considerable quantity
property to his relatives.
The Court reprehended the conduct of the ie-
solvent in severe terms, and observed, that a
clearer case of making away with property never
came before it.—lie was sentenced to six months
within the walls.
James Batters was also sentenced to the sem!,
terns of imprisonment for an undue preferenca• to
divers creditors to the exclusion of the rest.

poad b 7 Mr. Coozr, for 3/lebsts. Reeves and Son ; and by
Mr. km. Strutton in person. It appeared that the I:lBoll.teat's
brothers were merchants, residing at Moscow, and that he
had as their agent purchased goods here from Messrs. Raneves,
and consigned them to his brothers. He received from them,
during hi, residence here, a considerable property bequeathed
to him in his mother's will, to which they were executors,
and a sum of 30,000 rubles (1,4001.) over; but he• denied
being, or even having represented himself to be,. a partner with
his brothers at Moscow. It not being proved that he had'. ever
made a representation to that effect, although Mr. Reeves un-
derstood him to be a member of the Moscow firm when he sold
him the goods, the Court were of opinion that nu use was est,-
blishea against him by Messrs. Reeves ; and Mr. S ruttor, wh )

John Huggins was opposed by Mr. POLLOCK for a creditor
named Hill, whose attorney stated that the insolvent took vexa-
tious defence to an action on a bill of exchange for 20/., area ran
his client to 311. costs.

The insolvent produced a witness who stated he had offered,

give a good bill for the debt, which offer the plaintiff acceded
when the attorney interfered, and broke off the ne4ociation.

The Cot:ILT declared, that although they:;)v no tru ansv:ewed
the insolyesit's conduct in a very iwgiavattd light, yet they
were bound by the clause of th 4 Act not to puffer it t pass
wht l'y unnoticed; and therefore ordered him to be remanded
for four months within the walls.

Jahn Sudwsek~. fonserly a gamekceper, was opposed on be-

for which he was now unable satisfactorily to account, ke wits
