DUKE OF SUSSEX'S MARRIAGE.

TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN.
SlR,—Your Correspondent on the subject of the Duke
of Sussex's First Marriage, has led you into an error
with reference to the Barony of Arklovr.
That Barony is a Barony of the United kingdom,
not of Ireland, and you will find on inspection of any Peer-
age that his Royal Highness is not a Peer of Ireland ;
all his titles having been conferred upon him subse-
quently to the Union—viz., in November 1801.
The King of Hanover is the only one of the Blood
Royal now remaininc, among the Iris,: nobility.
Consequently, whatever may be otherwise the rights
of Sir Augustus D'Este, it is quite evident, that if he be
entitled to succeed to the Barony of Arklow, he is
equally entitled to succeed to the Earldom of Inverness
and the Duchy of Sussex.
These are, however, titles to which your Correspondent
does not seem prepared to admit Sir Augustus
D'Este's legal right. _

I am, your's, &c.,
A CONSTANT READER.

ilf our Correspondent will re-peruse the article to
which he alludes, he will find that we are not charge-
able with the error he imputes to us. We did not state
that the Duke of Sussex was an Irish Peer, or that
Sir Augustus D'Este would succeed to an Irish Peer-
age. What we said was, that "in the event of Sir
Augustus D'Este surviving the Duke of Sussex, be
would succeed to the Barony of Arklow, and to all the
rights accruing from that succession"—a proposition
which we hold to be undeniable. That Sir Augustus
D'Este is equally entitled to succeed to the Dukedom
of Sussex and the Earldom of Inverness, we most
readily admit. In the very article already referred to,
we quoted the opinions of Dr. Lushington and Mr.
Richards as to the perfect validity of the marriage at
Rome, notwithstanding the Royal Marriage Act ; and
stated our conviction that the operation of that Act
did not extend to any marriages contracted beyond the
limits of British jurisdiction. In our view of the case,
therefore, Sir Augustus D'Este is the legitimate son of
his Royal Highness the Duke of Sussex, and as such,
of course, heir to all his titles, whether conferred before
or since the Union.]

►IONEY AND COMMERCIAL NEWS

CITY, T WEL RE O'CLOCK.
Our arrivals this morning are the French and Ostend
mails, and a West India mail, by the Magnet, sailed from
St. Thomas April 25, and Cape Henry May 4.
By the above conveyance we have received Jamaica
Papers to April 30. We extract the following
We this day publish an account of the crops of the
several sugar estates in the parish of St. George for the
last five years, taken from a sworn return. By the return
we find a progressive decrease from 1835 to 1838, on an
estate which in the former year yielded 271 hhds. and
60 tierces of sugar, and 128 puncheons of rum, produced
in 1838 but 150 hhds. sugar, and 97 puncheons of rum ;
whilst in 1839 (the year succeeding the apprenticeship)
it yielded 92 hhds. sugar and 54 puncheons of rum. On
another estate, which yielded 112 hhds. in 1835, we find
a gradual decrease until the crop is reduced to 27 hbds."
The above papers are entirely void of interest.

St. Christopher papers contain interesting communica•
tions from Mr. Cunningham, the late Governor to Sir
William Colebootle, the Governor-General, in which he
states the result of his late visit to the unfortunate island
of Anguella. The state of extreme wretchedness, poverty,
destitution, and all but barbarism to which the colony is
reduced; exceeds everything we have ever read.

From the Demerara papers to the 16th of April :
The Court of Policy met to-day. His Excellency the
Governor opened the Session. Extract of his speech :
He begins by stating that he finds it necessary to explain to
them that since his proclamation for their meeting he had re-
ceived instructions to propose a new civil list, to replace that
which expires en 31st December next. It has been urged
that her Majesty's Government offer no security with
respect to the important duty on British,manutactures ; but
it may be conceded this year, and refused the next; let it
be understood the import duty is granted in return for the
Civil List, but not to relieve the proprietors of lands from
all burthens. He further states that the amount of im-
port from produce was taxed in 1839, on the returns of
1838, but not one shilling of the proceeds have been ap-
plied to the public expenditure. The Immigration
.
Ordonnance being passed in the terms of the draft sent
out from the Secretary of State, leaves the annual amount
applicable to carry it into effect.
The Batavier Dutch steamer has arrived this morning,
bringing the Dutch papers to the 3d June. Prices from

CRICKET.—It was stated by Mr. Catt, at Lilly-
white's dinner, that it was highly probable that Prince Albert
would patronise the national game of cricket. We are sure that
our cricketing readers will be as glad as we are, to learn that
his Royal Highness has consented to become the patron of the
Brighton and Sussex Royal Cricket Club.—Brighton Gazette.
The Wasps which will now shortly make their
apearance abroad are all queens or mothers, and by their
destruction the propagation of swarms of others will be effec-
tually prevented. _ _

A considerable quantity of mackerel have been
taken during the week by our fishermen. Yesterday several
boats returned from the borders of the Isle of Wight, averaging
from 1,000 to 1,500 each, which were freely bought up for the
London market at about 30s. per hundred.—Brighton. Gazette.
The appointment of Mr. Williams to the office
of Magistrates' Clerk has been annulled by the Home Secre-
tary, Lord Normanby, in consequence of the double vote given
by the Chairman, which has been decided to be illegal. A
fresh election will take place on Thursday.— Cheltenham , •
miner.

Within these few days there have been shipped
at this port, for Calais, 103,000 ounces of silver and 1,000
ounces of gold.—Dover Chronicle.
On Friday last, as a little girl, the only daughter
of Mr. J. Sydney Smith, was passing through her father's
meadow, a ram, his property, ran at her and struck her on the
chest with such violence that she died shortly afterwards.—
Essex Herald.

THE NELSON MONUMENT.—The workmen
employed in excavating a part of the ground in front of the
National Gallery, for the foundation of
the monumental pillar
about to be erected to the memory of Nelson, discovered yester-
day a quantity of animal remains, principally composed of the
bones and the horns of oxen ; but some of the bones were be-
lieved to he those of human beings, whilst a few of the pieces
of horn found evidently, from their shape, belonged to some of
the deer species. The bones were removed in a cart, being
first packed up with great care. The trunk of a large tree,
apparently an oak, was found horizontally embedded in the
earth at the depth of about ten feet.
LOCUSTS AT LLANBERIS.—A correspondent
informs us that the hills in this neighbourhood are covered with
winged insects, of a size and appearance unusual in these parts,
and which, from the description, must belong to the locust
trite.. Their ravages upon the pasturage and foliage of the trees
are described as being very destructive, the ground over which
Om piss retaining a reddish hue.— Chester Courant.
