FOR THE SUN.

MR. EDIDOR-It is said in a Morning Paper
of this day, that " the Second Edition of Friday's
Courier remains still without confirmation."—
That Second Edition stated that FERDINAND had
modified his atrocious decrees, and had sanctioned
the validity of the SPANISH Bows. The reason
that this news wants confirmation, it is whispered,
is that it did not come direct from Paris, but sir-
cuitously from Hertfordshire. Verb. sat.

UNFORTUNATE EVENT AT flaw.—ln the ac•
count published relative to the accident that oc-
curred a few evenings since at hew, by which
the life of Miss Tunstall, His Majesty's house-
keeper at that place, was unhappily terminated
by fire, it was erroneously asserted that, " her
female servants hastened to her assistance, but
were so overcome by fright, that, instead of using
instant means to quench the fire, they ran to call
further assistance, in which time the mischief
gained ground, and the poor lady, after suffering
excruciating agony for several hours, expired."
It is true that she only survived till the follow-
ing day ; but in justice to the praiseworthy exer-
tions of the individuals referred to, it is proper
to state, that so far from deserting their mistress
in her distressing situation, every possible aid was
immediately rendered, nor was she left by either
?-1' them before the fire was entirely subdued, when
it became necessary for the purpose of procuring
niledical assistance. Such, indeed, was the anxiety
tneY evinced to extinguish the flames, that had their
clothes been composed of linen, instead of woollen
situ") tiles' would probably have shared the same
'lmetitable fate. The unfortunate lady narrowly
"'aped a similar catastrophe some years since,
oil %filch occasion, however, the efforts of her at-
tendants proved more successful.

ARCHBISHOP MOUNTAIN.----The See of York

Dr. MOUNTAIN, who had raised himself by his
wit and facetious temper from being the son of a
beggar to the See of Durham! as to the most
proper peason to appoint. The Doctor wittily
replied, 4i Hadst thou faith as a grain of mustard
seed, thou wouldst say to this Mountain, (laying
his hand on his breast) he removed, and be cast
into the sea (See)" The RING laughed heartily)
and conferred the preferment upon the facetious
Doctor.
