MADAME RONZI DE BEGNIS.

As many injuriotAs reports are still in circula-
tion respecting this Lady, who is as deservedly
esteemed in private life as she is admired in pub-
lic, we deem it an act of justice to reprint the
letter which appeared in our Paper last week.
TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN.
A report having been industriously circulated that Madame
,RoNZI DE BEGNIS bad refused to sing in the part of Giuletta,
in the Opera of Romeo et Ginletta, in consequence of which
the indisposition, which obliged her to postpone the representa-
tion of the Opera of La Donna del Logo which was to have
taken place for her own benefit, was called in doubt by unin-
formed persons, Madame RONZI DE BEGNIS considers her-
self called upon to state, that being a little better on the Satur-
day previous to Madame PASTA'S benefit on the Monday fol-
lowing, she not only offered herself to take the part alluded to,
that evening (though a very short time intervened), but even
on any future evening.

It is reported here that suitable residences

health.—(Brighton Herald.)
It was lately asserted in a Newspaper that the
charger which the Duke-of WELLINGTON rode at
the battle of Waterloo was working in a common
sand cart. The story appeared too preposterous
to merit inquiry or contradiction ; but as it has
been copied into several other Papers, both Lon-
den and Provincial, it may be proper for us to
state that it has not the slightest foundatiOn in
truth. The eagerness with which an accusation
is circulated against a man of illustrious rank
and extraordinary talents seems to be in pro-
,portion to the absurdity and improbability of the
surge; and there is perhaps no man of first-rate
genius who has more reason to complain of such
misrepresentation than the Duke of WELLINGTON.

Bit Ass FOUNDERS AND BRA nutts.--The An-

carried by the members and their sons, and the
whole formed a very agreeable spectacle. A very
numerous populace accompanied them in their
passage. .
