TO THE EDITOR OF THE MORNING ADVERFIgER.

Slk,—l beg leave, through the medium of your paper,
to acknowledge with gratitude the receipt of 21., subscribed
by some friends frequenting Mr. Poole's Steam-packet
Hotel, Fish-street-hill.
I think it right to state that my present misfortunes do
not arise from extravagance or intemperance. I had by
my exertions secured a competency sufficient to have sup-
ported me in my old age ; but was induced, through the
representations of a man whom I had known moving in a
most respectable sphere at Bristol, to advance him a very
large sum of money ; in fact, all I was possessed of. By
him I was deceived, he took the benefit of the Insolvent
Debtors Act, and I was included in the list of creditors in
his schedule. The man is since dead, therefore I refrain
from mentioning his name; but I shall be most happy to
satisfy you, Sir, of the correctness of the above statement.
I am now old; "Time bath bent me with his iron
hand." I have been for some time past afflicted with a
complication of disorders, the most formidable of which has
been an inveterate ague, which has prevented me from fol-
lowing my professional avocations.

I shall fiel greatly obliged by your inserting this letter
in your paper, and again beg leave to express my most sin-
cere thanks for the kind and opportune remembrance of
the friends at the Steam-packet Hotel.
I am, Sir, your respectful servant.

DEVONPORT, Nov. 14.—For the last two days
we have experienced a terrific gale of wind from the south-
west, extraordinary rise of tide, and expect to hear of
great damage generally, and loss of life. To-day it is
quite abated—rather fine ; but in my opinion far from
being settled. Roofs and chimnies have descended into
our street, so the great annoyam." of passengers ; but as
yet we have heard of ncthing serious. The gale was more
than of an ordinary character.
RATHER PREMATURE.—Yesterday morning
at an early hour, the bells at Hackney set up a loud and
joyful peal in honour of the birth of a young Prince of
Wales. Every body was delighted at the happy news,
more especially the school children, who readily obtained
the privilege of a holiday. The same bells commenced
tolling for the late King two or three days before his
Majesty died. It is to be hoped the church at Hackney
is under more discreet management than the steeple.
THE LATE STORM.—SHIELDs.--A dismal
catastrophe has just transpired, a mile south of the bar.
A schooner running for the harbour encountered a heavy
sea at about the distance named. Tho crowd on our
banks and at the opposite side of the water saw her peril ;
here, where the writer of this stood at the period when
the sea struck her, all was breathless Liixiety ; in five
minutes she was seen on her broadside ; in less than five
minutes more she was buried beneath the surf, with every
human being on board. Some loose articles are already
washing on shore, and probably the bodies of the men
will soon reach the sands, and the name of the vessel bo
ascertained. She is supposed to be the Rover, of Goole.
Another vessel has upset passing up the river to a coal-
spout, but no lives were lost.—Fort (-j Tyne Pilot.

TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN.
,us with

Sin,—Believing that you are equally armo,
myself about the purity of the Aldermanic character,
I hasten to call your attention to a wicked report now
in circulation to its prejudice, with a view to having it
contradicted. It is, that an Alderman of great wealth,
and sound Church and State principles, carries in
old
is
go
pocket, and has done so for many years, a massive
repeater (watch), which having been brought before
him in his judicial capacity, as filched from the pocket
of some one else, and, not being claimed, was
trranr
ferred into his own, as not being worth the costc"
vertising for the owners. s be
The story is no doubt a lie, but it would pernaP- b
as well if the Aldermen would prove it to be so, by ese.
giving it a public contradiction, so far as be is
dually concerned.—Your obedient servant,
Reform Club. Monday. HO NORATIJS.

Several paragraphs have appeared in our con-
temporaries respecting the contemplated improvement in
the ground now used as a kitchen garden at Kensington.
"Withr,ut noticing the different statements which have ap-
ll'or'ed on this matter, we think we may say with confidence
tkkett the following particulars will be found to be correct. We
Xnden.tand that the subject of the expenses attending the
11,11Pplv of fruit, vegetables, &c., for the royal household
had engaged the attention of Government in the course
ofu last year, and that the result of the inquiry then insti-
thtted had suggested arrangements for wholly remodelling
e Present system, and circumscribing and consolidating
e royal kitchen gardens. One of these arrangements
Irtercplated the abandonment of the kitchen garden at
btkensington, comprising a space of many acres ; and as
"'le whole would necessarily. at the outset of the pro-
eteedings, involve some expenditure, it had been propeosed
for
tl° make the ground thus to be relinquished available
e Purpose, by letting it off for building sites for villas,
Pln the scale and of the description of those erected
be n the area of the Regent's Park. To do this it will
oecessary to apply to Parliament in the course of the
-tVtli"g Session for authority to bring this ground within
e Powers of the Acts for the management of the land
f!,Venue, out of which, in the first instance, the necessary
s'llds would be advanced for effecting the improvements
IcAnired in the general embellishment of the Royal gar-
a:4, and into which, on the other hand, those rents to be
he Paid
from the letting of the ground at Kensington will
rep Paid as part of the land revenues for ever. The land at
."ington, it should be observed, forms at present no
to of the land revenue ; the object of any applica.ion
th_"rliament will be, of course, to make it so, to specify
tiled extent to which that revenue shall be charged,
th._ to provide that no more shall be taken from it
r.r.ood it strict equivalent in present tenantcy for the annusl
of 'ice, to be derived to the public hereafter in she shape
theß:ound-rents. Plans have been prepared for carrying
te.:_ highly-beneficial arrangements at Kensington into
Proceedings
but nothing is yet mentioned as to them, and no
reericeedings can be taken before the meeting of Parlia-
!•• The principle of the arrangements, however, is so `r, decided upon that ample space will be left for the cir-
31(illation of air, and the great improvement of that part of
iodnsington, in whatever plan may be ultimately adopted ;
eroeed, if w aare correctly informed, the houses to be
'od will occupy, one with another, not much less than

MAP OF CHINA.

AT WAR WITH CHINA-WHERE

IS CHINA ? VERY FEW CAN TELL.

The Sun Newspaper will soon answer the question
by publishing a Beautiful, Large, and llighly
Correct MAP of CHINA, with a Complete
History of that Extensive Empire, and its

Singular People.
THE MAP will nearly occupy a page of The Sun.
It is got up under the special Superintendence of
the celebrated Mr. JAMES WYLD, Geographer
to her MAJESTY the QUEEN. It comprehends
also a large pottion of India, from the Mouths of
the Ganges--the Islands in the Bay of Bengal—
B irmah —Assam Thibct Nepaul Cochin
China—Canton, and the immense Islands and
Bays along the coast of China to PEKIN,
situated One Hundred and Twenty Miles inland
from the confines of the Yellow Sea.
The next News from China is expected to be ex-
ceedingly interesting and decisive. The Island
of CHUSAN, the first point of attack by the
Expedition, commands the great Bay of Nankin,
from which the Imperial Canal communicates
with Pekin, the Capital of the Empire. Chusan
is about half way between Canton and Pekin.
