TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN.

SIR,—You will do me the justice of inserting the fol-
lowing paragraph into your valutthle paper.
Your humble servant.
JOSEPH WOLFF.
TO THE RELATIONS OF CAPTAIN CONOLLY.

"Halifax, April 2, 1846.
"My dear Fri: tids?—l have been informed that some
of you have heard that I entertained doubts in my own
mind about the death of Colonel Seddart, Captain
Conolly, and Lieutenint Wybitrt. MI I can say to this
report is that the death of those officers is not with me
a matter of opinion—but a matter of fact—l know that
those officers are dead, and those who try to throw any
doubt upon it, act, the least to say. most injudiciously
and cruelly against the relations, and that I hope that no
body will give the least credit to the report that I had
the least doubt of their death! I have requested the
friend who arranges and edites the third edition of my
narrative, that he should not by any means add one
single word to the said narrative by which the fact of
the death of the officers may be doubted. I also declare
herewith, that I have not the least right to claim a pen-
sion from Government, or any other remuneration, and
I most sincerely hope that none of my friends will ever
petition to Parliament to obtain any remuneration for
me, for I have not deserved it, as I have not brought
back the prisoners. All I want from my friends is not
.to mention the subject again either to tht relations or to
me in a way injurious to Government!

INDIAN CORN.
DISTRESS OF THE PEOPLE.
The Poor Relief Committee h;tyin„ purchased a certain
quantity of Indian corn; and having appointed certain deporg
for its sale, it was announced that the sale would commence
on Saturday last.

all were interested in the result of the experiment. The
price fixed On it was one penny Per

Was only by the ceaseloss efforts of a number of police that
order or regularity could be Ares- rved. Time avidity of toe.t
people to procure a novel description of food is. the most eon:
elusive evidence of the misery to which bad food amid famine
prices have reduced them. The Irish, of all people in the
world, are the least add►cted to change, especially in an
article of diet ; and when sucl► a spectacle as that of Satur-
day last is presented, be sure that there is dire necessity as
the inducing cause of the ready and anxious change.
We understand that 4,480 lbs. of the corn meal were sold
on Saturday at Id. per It,.
The Committee waited this morning on Mr. Hewitson, to
grant them a further supply, they of course offering to pay
the full price for it ; but Mr. Hewitson was compelled to
refuse the request. he having no orders from the Govern-
ment to that effect.

The people, supposing that the supply would be continued,
assembled in hundreds round the depots ; but. were informed
of the fact of there being no more for sale. Considerable
excitement was occasioned by the announcement, and the
Mayor, tearing that disturbance might arise in consequence,
published a public notice stating that when the order, which
was daily expected, would arrive, further supplies would be
distribtr ed.—Cork Examiner.

THE ARMY OF THE SUTLEJ.-111 .r.• i 3 one little cir-
cumstance connected with a portion of this gallant army of
so touching a character, that we cannot forgo the delight in
recoruing it in our colums. Amidst the din of battles and
the wild hurrahs of victory. the wail of distress from his native
land reached the Irish soldief on the remote banks of the
SuCej. His heart responded to the call, and within a few
days the Irish soldiers subscribed no less than 8461. to the re-
lief of their safe:ring fellow-countrym. n, and this sum they
placed in the hands of their veteran commander, Sir Hugh
Gough, himselt an leishman, for transatissiol to the scene of
distress Having thus disehsrged their duty to the God ::f
Charity, they went with lighter spirits to the stern per-
, formaoce of their military duties to their S.,vereil,rn and their
country. —Observer

SALMON FISHERY ON THE NESS. —M r. P. A. Nicol,
a vont% gent lemim only sixteen years of age, on the 25th of

clean stilinma that. has h,,en killed this ye-tr in the Ness. He
hooked the fish in the Livan Pool after rising him three
times, and in twenty minutes succ.-edeil in landing it on the
snow. It weighed twelve p,unds and a half.
