THE INSURRECTION IN CRETE

TO IHE EDITOR OF THE SUN.

Sra,--I have read in your Journal the answer which you
have made to an article in the Chronicle of to-day, cencernin
the Cretan insurrection. Permit me to present my la,s
thanks to you for the lively interest you take in the ina'ter,
and for the philanthropical and truly Christian sentiments
which you advance in favour of this just and sacred cause. It
high political questions have brought upon the Editor of the
Chronicle the necessity of combating the cause of eiviliiatiot
and humanity, can he for this advance even to calumny, ano
accuse the poor Cretans as being the most active among th.
pirates who have infested for some time the Mediterranean.
Your article, which I have caused to be translated and de
spaiched to Crete, will ab mdantly give' consdtnee to th,
Greeks, by making them acquainted with the granl and mag-
nanimous principles of the English people, proved by thei,
symEathisieg with their misfortunes. And since you hay,
shorn 30 much solicitude for this good cause, it may perhaps
be permitted me to add that the Greeks resident in London'
following the example of their brethren in Greece, have
opened among themselves a subscription in favour of the corn.
hatants in the cause, which has already received a great numbe
of signatures.

EFFECT OF RAILWAYS ON STAGE AND
Posx-CoAcHEs.—l3ailwa3s ruin postmasters, say all tbs.
world. Somerset House tells a different story. he autho-
rities there have made a return to Parliament, from which we
learn that the post-horse duty for the year ending sth Janu-
ary, 1839, was 237,4521., while that for the ye.r ending on the
same day in 1841, was 212,635/ ,or but 25,0001. less. Again,
the stage carriage duty for 1838 was 462,000/., while that foi
1840, under a reduced duty, amounted to 407,0401. This is
not the first instance by many in which the popular first-sight
estimate of the effect of improvement has been proved by ex-
perience and figures to be unfounded. In Brussels, previou,
to the establishment of the Belgic railways, there were bu'
60 hackney carriages—there are now 300. Railway Times.
BOROUGH OF MARYLEBONE.—Last evening
a very numerous meeting of influential electors of the borough of
Marylebone took place in the rooms of the Reform and Registra.
Lion Association, to consider what steps should be taken to celebrate
the victory obtained over the Tories by the return of Sir. B. Hall
Bart., and Commodore Sir C. Napier. Mr. Sodden having taker,
the chair, Mr. Allen, the secretary, explained the object of the
meeting. Mr. Potter eulogised the excellent arrangements which
had been made at the late election, and showed the debt of gra-
titude which the borough owed to the Reform and gegistration
Association for the excellent machinery it had brought into

operation, and which had been mainly instrumental in achiev.
ing so complete d victory over the Tories. To the working
and poorer classes of electors an equal meed of praise was due
for the very zealous support which they gave to the -Reform
cause, and for the noble manner in which they recorded their
suffrages in spite of the bribery and intimidation of the Tory
party.—(Hear, hear.) It was their bounden duty to celebrate the
happy day which had emancipated Marylebone, and which had
erased from it the foul stain of being represented by a Tory
He concluded by moving that a public dinner be given to celebrate
the late event in the theatre of the Colosseum. Mr. Cooper se.
corded the motion. In answer to a question Mr. Allen said the
expense of raising the pit to a level with the stage, and fitting up
the theatre of the Colosseum in an appropriate manner, would In
100/. Mr. Gibson suggested that the Princess's Theatre, in Ox
ford.street would be the better place, inasmuch as the pit was
already covered over for the concerts. Mr. Savage moved an
amendment that the festival skould take place at White Conduit
House, wl.ich, having been seconded by Mr. Clarke, was negatived,
and the original resolution was ultimately carried unanimously, and
a numerous Committee of gentle-men, and upwards of 200 stewards
were appointed to carry it into effect. The meeting then separated.
A new motive power of the most simple charac-
ter and easy construction has been discovered by Captain
Giles, of the Jeribalem Coffte-house, late master of the Mer-
cury. The drawings illustrative cf the plan show an actioc
which appears .capable of being maintained in perpetuity as
well as witli great regularity. It is applicable to a variety of
purposes which require precision of motion and equality of
force, whilst its powers may be increased to a vast extent,
