"Monsieur le Redacteur—lt is with regret that

my deference for public opinion, and, above all,
the fear that my silence might be interpreted

the Commissary of Police, whom you hare thought

John Kavanagh arrived here on the night of the 14th
instant ; he was without passport or any papers what-
ever, behaved with violence at the Custom-house, and
was, in consequence, placed in prison. The next
day he was brought to me as a British subject.
He was young, thin, and pale ; he limped besides,
and inspired me with pity. I told him that: if he
frankly gave explanations, told me his try name, and
why he had come to France without a passport, I
was disposed to do all I could to alleviate his posi-
tion. He then told me that his name was Kavannah,
that he was in business, that he had not been aware
that a passport was necessary to enter France, and
that if be were not permitted to remain in the
country, he would return to England. As hr
could not travel in the interior of the country
without a passport from me, I asked him if he was

THE EARLY CLOSING MOVEMENT. —Last night a
public meeting of the principal tradesmen, shopkeepers,
and friends of the Early Closing Movement was held at
the White Hart Tavern, Bishopsgate, for the purpose of
supporting the movement and adopting the principle of
early closing in all branches of trade of every descrip-
tion within the district of Bishopsgate and the surround-
ing neighbourhood. Mr. John Hopkins, one of the
principal tradesmen of the district, cocupied the chair,
and addressed the meeting at considerable length, ex-
planatory of the advantages that would be derived by
the public, but more particularly the tradesmen them-
selves, by fixing the closing of shops for business at an
earlier hour, and stated that he had himself practised it
for the last seven years with the most satisfactory and
beneficial results, and pointed out the positive necessity
that existed for carrying out the principles of the Early
Closing Association, with respect both to the mental and
physical position of the young men employed in various
trades in this vast metropolis. The hours were now
proposed in all trades to be eight in winter and nine in
summer, but he (the chairman) felt satisfied that the
hours might be safely reduced to seven in winter and
nine in summer. Several other gentlemen addressed the
meeting in support of the objects of the association. A
memorial was unanimously adopted to the shopkeepers
and tradesmen from Shoreditch to Cornhill and adjacent
neighbourhoods, calling upon them to adopt the early
closing of their shops throughout the district, from Nov.
1 at eight o'clock, and on Saturdays at 10 o'clock, and in
the summer at nine.

PERSEVERANCE REWARDED.—About the beginning
of last week, a poor unemployed weaver, residing in the
country, went out to try his fortune with a basket of
eggs, which having been speedily disposed of realised
the sum of 4s. 9d. On his way home he expended his
money on small wares, which next day, having sold to
advantage, tripled the original amount. Encouraged by
his success, he again spent his money on a lot of old
books, amongst which were the works of Shakspere,
Burns, and Milton, for which alone he received nearly
2!., and his whole stock cleared about 3L 12s. A third
time he hazarded his money in the purchase of light
trinkery, and in the course of six days, from a few dozen
eggs, be carried to his distressed and impoverished
family the handsome sum of 9L We have occasion to
know this poor but honest weaver, who, urged by sheer
indigence and a spirit of assiduity, gives to the world
a bright example that perseverance may be rewarded.—

RARE BIRD.—On Saturday last, as the Hon. Cap-
tain Harris, M.P., and Mr. Swinburne Berkeley, the
son of the Hon. Member for West Gloucestershire, were
shooting in the vicinity of Heron Court, the seat of the
Earl of Malmesbury, they fired together at a snipe,
which, on being brought to bag, proved to be the" great
snipe" of Bewick, a most rare and beautiful speeimeh.
This bird is about to be added to the collection at Bea-
con Lodge.

A CAT KILLED BY A MOUSE.—A curious cir-
cumstance occurred on Kingsdown, Bristol, on Monday.
A cat having caught a mouse, was playing with it o❑ the
lawn. when the mouse leaped into the cat's mouth, and
actually forced itself so far into the throat as to suffocate
poor puss,

the cases on the list were of no public interest.
Mr.W.J.Townshend, a cork manufacturer inWell-

TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN.
Siu,—ln your paper of the 26th ult. you allude
to the greater regard shown by the English law to
propeity than to the liberty of the subject, and the
difference is even more flagrant than you state.
The party against whom an action is brought has
not to make any payment for a copy of the state-
ment of the demand against him, but must, if he has
appeared in due course to the action, have the
declaration itself delivered to him, and also the par-
ticulars of the plaintiff's demand if the action is for
debt or on promises.
The declaration states in strict legal phraseology
the claim of the plaintiff, and he cannot depart
from this, or from his particulars of demand. It the
declaration be informally worded the defendant can
take advantage of it by demurrer, or, in some cases,
even after a verdict against him, by moving in arrest
of judgment.
If the defendant does not demur, he can put
almost any plea he chooses on the record, and
of the most contradictory description ; so that, in
fact, if one of them be true the others must be false.
The plaintiff, however, is only allowed to have one
count in his declaration for the same cause of action,
and is, consequently, precluded from stating his case
in different ways, which is often a denial of justice
to him.

Thus is a person guarded against a pecuniary claim,
and if one is improperly made against him, the plain-
tiff has to pay him the costs he incurs, but if a cri-
minal proceeding be instituted against a man he can
obtain no copy of the indictment in the more impor-
tant cases, and his advisers are obliged to look at it
as they can, amidst the bustle of the court, just as he
is going to be tried ! However innocent he may be
he is not entitled to be reimbursed the costs he must
incur in preparing for his defence, and from his often
not knowing the particulars of the charge against
him, he is, as far as possible, prevented from being
able to meet it. .

Under such circumstances it must continually
happen that the innocent suffer with the guilty.
Instances in abundance may be produced to show
that our system of criminal jurisprudence is
most unjust and oppressive. It can be, and is,
used as an instrument of malice, and by it a man
can be put to great expense, and his character as-
sailed without his having any effective redress.
This unjust and oppressive difference between civil
and criminal proceedings did not always exist, and its
growth shows that while we have continually added
safeguards to property, we have cared little for the
real security of the people. The cause of this is an
interesting subject, and I trust yOu will continue
your endeavours to procure an effective remedy for
the evils which are so apparent in the existing
practice.—l am, Sir, your very obedient servant,

FIRE AND Loss OF Two LIVES.—On Tuesday
evening a fire broke out in a cottage at Lushbrook,
Shiplake, near Henley, by which two lives were de,.
stroyed. The cottage, which was thatched, was occupied
by a man named Mills, a widow named Cresswell, with
whom he cohabited, and a family of five children, the
youngest being the child of Mills. Mills returned home
from his work and was eating his supper, when the
eldest of the children, a boy of nine years old, went up
stairs' to put his younger bro:her to bed, and on de-
scending unfortunately set fire to a heap of corn stowed
in a recess. The staircase was almost immediately in a
blaze. Mills rushed up to the room in which the child
slept to rescue it, but was unable to do so :from the in-
tensity of the heat, and both he and the child were
burnt. The cottage was totally destroyed. The husband
of the woman was killed some time back by falling from
a waggon, and about three years ago another of her
children was burnt to death. A coroner's inquest is
about to sit on the bodies.
THE VINTAGE NEAR PAars.--The produce of grapes
is so abundant near Paris that the peasants fear to bring
anyinferior quality inside the walls, lest teey should not
sell for 6 centimes the two pound weight, the amount of
entrance duty to which they are subject. The conse-
quence is, that a regular fair of grapes is established out-
side the walls of Paris, to which the troops in particular
resort, and are to be seen loaded each with three pounds
weight, which they purchase for lid., and which are
duty free.

REPORTED APPEARANCE OF THE CHOLERA AT
SUNDERLAND.—Yesterday the following intelligence was
