louse announces that the disturbances assumed a most
alarming character on the evening of the 14th, when M.
Mahul, fearing for his life, escaped from the city. The
Government, on being apprised of his flight, immediatey

rantees to the Christians of Bulgaria against the cruelty
and oppression of the Pachas.

The Levant packet, due at Marseilles on the 11th, only

THE RAILWAY SUN:
(From the Spectator.)
The Sun newspaper of yesterday had one of its sides
occupied by a map of all the Railways completed, pro-
posed, and in progress throughout the kingdom ; the
tracks of steam-vessels being also indicated. This map
is really a useful as well as curious addition to a news-
paper ; and, together with the succinct account of the
various undertakings, and the formation of the road-
ways, &c. will furnish much interesting information on
the greatest wonder of modern times—steam locomotion
—at a very cheap rate. The map, which is surrounded
by a bordering of railway trains, is compiled by Mr.
Wyld, the geographer, of Charing-cross ; and it is exe-
cuted by a new mode of stereotyping, patented by Mr.
Woone, of Exeter, called the Gypsographic process : its
nature is not fully explained, but the engraver, we are
told, draws upon a metal late, and from his drawing a
cast is taken, which is printed by the typographic press.
This, moreover, is said to be the largest cast plate ever
yet printed as letterpress. The Railway Sun is even the
most amusing paper of the week ; the lines of inter-
communication between the cities and towns of.the em•
pire possessing far more interest than election-returns.

THE TOWER MOAT.
TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN.

Sts,—Space, in your most valuable Paper, is, I am aware,
at the present moment at a premium, still I hope a corner can
be found, wherein may be noticed a subject which may (in my
humble opinion, at least) be considered of nearly as much im-
portance as electioneering intelligence—•l allude, Sir, to the
state, the filthy state, of the Tower Moat, the malaria
arising from which cannot but be deleterious to the health of
that portion of her Majesty's subjects who are unfortunate
enough to be located in its neighbourhood. I would beg to
suggest that (as it appears to be of no earthly use) it be filled
up with mould, shrubs planted, and that then it be thrown
open as a public promenade, which would conduce very much
to the health and comfort of the denizens of the east, at a very
trifling expense to the Government.
II am, Sir, your humble se, Tint,
JOSEPH NEWTON.
