TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN.

SIR,—You stated in your paper of Friday evening
that the person charged at the Police-court at Clerken-
well by Mr. Wright was named James Rice, whereas
the real name was James Russ. As I work on the same
firm I wish you to contradict it, as the mistake might
cause me a serious injury.—Yours, obediently,
JAMES RICE.

THE CANADAS IN 1846.—Under this title the
public will be glad to observe that Sir Richard Bonny-
castle, who has long resided in North America, and the
nature of whose official duties afford him unusual facili-
ties for the purpose, has been induced to resume his pen,
in order to lay before his countrymen further informa-
tion relative to these, the most important of our colonial
possessions. It has been stated by the author that there
is no class of people so grossly deceived in their notions
of the new world as the English, and more particularly
the Irish emigrants to Canada. True and faithful ac-
counts, therefore, of these important colonies in their
actual present state are most desirable and valuable,
and the high character of Sir Richard Bonnycastle, and
his superior attainments, must therefore render any
new work from his pen extremely acceptable in this
country.
SHOCKING ACCIDENT AT BROUGHAM HALL.—On
Saturday evening last, after dark, at Brougham Hall,
the seat of Lord Brougham, a shocking accident hap-
pened to Mr. Walton, the artist, who is on a visit to
Lord Brougham, and the second daughter of Mr. Wil-
liam Brougham, his Lorciiiiip'.sbrother. It appears that
the church singers were practising in Brougham chapel,
which is separated from the hall by a deep cutting in the
old London-road, over which Lord Brougham caused
an arch to be thrown for the convenience of the hall,
from the terrace to the chapel-yard. Mr. Walton caught
Miss Brougham, who is about seven years of age, up in
his arms, and left the hall by the terrace-door, and was
hastening to the chapel, but it being dark, and a light in
the chapel windows, he missed the archway, and with
the child in his arms fell headlong over the terrace into
the road, a height of about twenty-fire feet. The
shrieks of the child soon brought assistance out of the
chapel, when it was thought that Mr. Walton's back
was broken; his head was laid open for nearly three
inches, and otherwise severely injured. However, on
the arrival of Dr. Taylor from Penrith, it was found that
his backbone was not broken. This morning (Sunday)
Mr. Walton still remains in a very precarious state.
One of the child's jawbones are broken, but hopes are
entertained of her recovery. Lord Brougham hit
Brougham Hall, on Friday last, for London.
BRISTOL SUGAR MARKET, SEPT. 25.—The quan-
tity of sugar sold here this .reek is upwards of 1,000
hhds. of West India, a portion of which, however, is
from other markets—the supply of good working sugars
on show not being adequate to the wants of the trade.
The refined market continues firm, with a large business
doing.—Bristol Mercury.
LIVERPOOL, ORMSKIRK, AND PRESTON RAILWAY
COMPANY.—The shareholders in this company are about
to hold a meeting, as the line will soon be commenced.
It is a most important undertaking, as it supplies a link
much wanted in Lancashire railway communication, and
which is entirely due to the talent and exertions of Mr.
John Holmes, who projected the line in 1844, and who
will doubtless reap the fruit of his labour.
