TO THE. EDITOR OF THE SUN.

SIR,—A very F pirited " shilling subscription" was
entered into at Lynn the moment the supposed hard-
ship of Mr. (late Captain) Reynolds' case was made
public. The perusal, however, of that gentleman's let-
ter to the Editor of the Morning Chronicle has created
a strong and general feeling of disgust. The subscrip-
tion list has been closed, and notice has been given to
the Chairman of the Duke's Head Commercial Reading
Room, whence it emanated, of the following resolution,
to be submitted to the subscribers on Wednesday even-
ing next, when no doubt is entertained that an order
will be made for payment of the amount to some de-
serving object of either civil or reliig,ious persecution :
" That is the opinion of this meeting that the sentiments
contained in the letter of Me. (late Captein) Reynolds to
the Editor of the Morning Chronicle, may prove effectual
in procuring the pardon and patronage of the Horse
Guards, but by no means entitle him to the sympathy of a
warm hearted British public."
Your very obedient servant,
King's Lynn, Nov. 5.

TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN.

Sin,-L-Tl;;;l;peiranCe of a letter signed " Richard
Anthony Reynolds," sent to the Editor of the Times,
and copied in your valuable Paper, has led me to put
the following queries to him, trusting he will answer
them as a man of honour ought to do, without evasion
or guise, and which are as follow, viz.:—
First—Has he not, directly or indirectly, received a
promise of being reinstated to his late rank in the army,
upon condition of his publishing the letter referred to ?
Second—Whether he can safely shy that he shall not,
by such a promise, be hereafter promoted to the rank
of a Lieutenant-Coloncicy, or some other favour, upon

the saw, condition ?
Third—? Whether he thinks his Royal Mistress, upon
restoring him to his place again, has done it uninflu-
enced, or whether the public opinion has not influenced
the Horse Guards to advise her Majesty to do it ?
Fourth—Why did he not issue the letter above
referred to, ducctly he learned that the subscription
was on foot, for the loud expressions of the public press
must have told him long ere this, that such was
about being done, instead of waiting so long after its
commencement?

And Fifth—Why did he send the letter to the
Times, a violent Tory paper, instead of sending it to
The Sun, or some other Liberal Paper, which have so
nobly defended his cause? -
Let him answer the above, ere the sub'scriptionS
are gone into tee/ far, and which has been begun in this
city for I verily believe no man possessed of common
sense or gratitude for .a grateful people's support, unless
under the influence of some promise,
could have penned
such a letter.

A SUBSCRIBER TO THE FUND.
P.S.—lt may be possible that some indirect friend
of the Earl of Cardigan, may have induced him to write
the said letter, with a view of drawing down public
odium upon himself, and draw the attention of the
public from that execration which is and must still be
justly this Earl's due, for that does not alter his (the
Earl's) position in the eyes of the people.

PREVENTION OF STEAM-VESSEL
COLLISIONS.

TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN.
SIK,—I would buggest that steam-vessels meeting
upon opposite courses should each put her helm a star-
board instead of port. The word of command—" Hard
a starboatd!" can be given with a better chance of
being heard and understood than " Hard a port !" If
each vessel puts her helm a starboard they will each
pass on the starboard or right-hand side, which is in
accordance with the rule observed in driving carriages
upon high-roads.
