MR. ANSTEY'S BILL.
TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN.

Si“,—ln your leading article of last evening in favour
of Mr. Anstey's Bill you say that it is not just to expect
that the Pope will have any communication with us
until we repeal all the laws against the Roman Catholics
in this country. Allow me to ask you, Sir, if it is right
that we should have any communication with the Pope
until he has repealed all the laws which are against the
propagation and enjoyment of the Protestant religion in
his dominions? Let him meet us on equal ground, and
then it will be just and right to have dealings with him,
but till then I don't see why we should yield everything
and he nothing.
I remain, Sir, your obedient servant, -

[ADVERTISEMENT.]--Wounds in the Leg that had
been bad for years, cured by Holloway's Ointment and
Pills.—Mr. W. Durling, of Stirkoke by Wick, had
suffered very severely for a long time with deep wounds
in his leg, and in his endeavours to get them healed he
obtained the advice of many eminent surgeons, and
tried almost every remedy, yet all failed to effect a cure,
until he used Holloway's Ointment and Pills ; these in-
valuable medicines alone healed his leg in a few weeks,
and now it is as sound as even—Holloway's Ointment is
a safe and certain cure for old wound:, burns, scalds,
tumours, chilblains, and unnatural swellings.—Sold by
all druggists, and at Professor Holloway's establish-
ment, 244, Strand, London.

STATE OF HENRY THE SEVENTH'S CHAPEL.—I do
of decay in the exterior stonework
i
indeed believe that, unless some means are taken to
stay the progress
of the structure, n twenty years it will be a ruin.
Casting our eye upwards from the basis of
several of the buttresses on the side nearest St.
Margaret's Church, with a favourable light, it will be
seen that the. whole of the stonework in three large com-
partments is one mass of decay, the surface of it, at least.
The features of many of the images are completely
effaced, and the fretwork of the windows is in so
crumbling a condition that it appears as though
the mere pressing a hand over it would remove it en-
tirely. I hope the attention of all who are interested in
the preservation of this fine national monument, archi-
tects, particularly. gentleman versant in chemical combi-
nations, will be directed to the subject of this premature
decay in stonework.—Correspondent of the Builder.

Liverpool to Halifax, 249; and from Halifax to Boston,
247. On the return trips the numbers were, from Bos-
ton to Halifax, 253 ; from Boston to Liverpool, 1,484 ;
and from Halif.sx to Liverpool, 270. The average time
Ohomfeaechpassage out was fifteen days, and each passage
thirteen days, inclusive of the detention at Hali-
fax.— Liverpool Times.
Yesterday an investigation was opened, before
Mr. Mills, at the Boot Tavern, Cromer-street, Bruns-
wick-square, on the body of Peter Donallv, who had
died of typhus fever, in a miserable dwelling in Union-
ury proceeded to the house
cinouqrut,esCtioomnp, Compton-eplace.
pare'lm it having been reportedie
that death was caused by • the unhealthy state of the
locality. The scene of filth was such that one gentle.
man turned sick, and from the evidence adduced, it
appeared that the whole neighbourhood was infected
with fever from the unhealthy state of the premises.
Under the circumstances, the coroner adjourned the
inquest until a post mortem examination of the 'body
had taken place. Mr. Popham, the parish surgeon, .
objected to open the body the place it was then 13,111;4

ASSESSED TAX ArPgAL.--:At a meeting of the
commissioners held at the Shire Hall, Chelmsford, on
Monday last, to hear appeals against surcharges for
horses, carriages, and dogs, among the few appellants
from

as a Lrickmaker, but at the present time he was receiving
only labourer's wages. He did not deny that he had
allowed two dogs to be upon his premises, but he swore
that he had not fed them, at the same time he admitted
that he had allowed his children to do so. The sur-
charge amounting to 11. 10s. 9d. was unavoidably con-
firmer], which the imprudent man declared he was unable
to pay. In the event of his not doing so, the law makes
his goods liable. Surely such an example will operate
`as a warning to others.
Mr. Charles Pearson paired oft on the divi3ioti
on the window-tax, having an important meeting of his
constituents to attend at the time the division was ex-
pected to take place.
