COLONIZATION.
TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN.

Sin,—The time has at length arrived when the public
begin to see the importance of colonization. With the
finest colonies in the world, those emigrants who can af-
ford to leave the kingdom at their own expense, and,
consequently, the most valuable class, prefer the United
States, because there the cost of conveying and mort-
gaging land is effected in a rational and cheap manner,
through the instrumentality of printed deeds, which
may be bought at any stationer's, and filled up by any-
body, being, of course, properly witnessed. It is indis-
pensable that we imitate our Trans-Atlantic brethren,
for waste lands will not bear costly title-deeds.
This being done, the Colonial-office must cease to con-
sider the colonies as being maintained for the benefit of
their friends and connexions. Every man who emigrates
at his own expense should have ten acres et land given
to him. Every parish or union applying for a tract of
land should have it on condition that a certain number
of persons should be annually sent out. The advantage
attendant on allowing parishes or unions to have lands is
obvious. By leasing the lands to the paupers for a few
years at a nominal rent, with power of purchase, they
would reimburse themselves the expense of sending out
of the country the surplus population, and would stimu-
late industry by presenting the prospect of future inde-
pendence. The comfort of the emigrants would be
greatly promoted by parishes or unions having particu-
lar places to which they could send their surplus popu-
lation. The poor people would then go amongst rela-
tives or friends, or former neighbours, who would be dis-
posed to assist them at the commencement. They would
not be cast amongst strangers. It may be feared that
some unprincipled individuals when they get out would
violate their agreements with their parishes, but they
might be punished by being rendered incapable of hold-
ing property until they had performed their engage-
ments, or paid the cost of their emigration.
Systematic emigration may be much better effected
by parishes or unions than by Government, whose offi-
cials are too much inclined to turn every measure into
a job.—l am, Sir, your most obedient servant,

THE CROYDON RAILWAY.
TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUIV.
SIR,—As a constant reader of your excellent and ad-
mirably conducted journal, I venture to address you not
in the strainjof complaint, as I have before done with re-
spect to the management of the Croydon line of railway,
but in commendation of the course adopted in its ma-
nagement by the present directors. I have several
times considered it my painful duty under the old regime
of this line, particularly when the atmospheric principle
was in the ascendant with its managers and directors, to
complain most bitterly of the management or rather
mismanagement of the line, the irregularity of the run-
ning of the trains, and to point out in consequence of that
Irregularity the total impossibility of any commercial
or professional man placing the least reliance on the
time of their arrival at the London-bridge station. To
men connected with business who are desirous of living
a short distance out of town, and to inhale the fresh
breezes of the county of Surrey, the regularity of the
arrival and departure of the trains on the Croydon line
must be and i 3 a great desideratum. The old manage-
ment, however, set at naught any such important consi-
derations, and seemed to have but one hobby, namely,
how they could squander away the money of the share-
holders upon useless and most expensive experiments, to
the detriment of the interests of their proprietors and the
public. Happily, however, since the amalgamation of
the Croydon line with the Brighton, under the title of
" The London, Brighton, and South Coast. Railway,"
they:have assumed a very different shape—the directors
have shown a determination not only to benefit the
public but their shareholders. The expensive and not
to-be•depended-upon atmospheric has been sent to the
four winds of heaven—the pipes have been taken up, and
the rails appropriated to a permanent down line for lo-
comotive engines, and the departure and arrival of the
Croydon trains has thereby been reduced to a matter of
certainty, and commercial and professional men can now
calculate to almost a minute when they will arrive at
the London-bridge station. This move in the right di-
rection, on the part of the present chairman and directors
of the company, appears to have been duly appreciated
by the public, and many now are the professional
and commercial men who, knowing they can depend on
the arrival and departure of the train, have located them•
selves in the healthy neighbourhood of Forrest Hill,
Sydenham, Anerley, Norwood, and Croydon. The di-
rectors have no doubt ere this found out the value and
policy of the course they have pursued i❑ doing away
with the atmospheric and adopting the locomotive means
of transit, in the increased number of annual tickets that
have and will be taken, as well as in the increase of pas-
sengers generally. The certainty of the arrival and de-
parture of trains, though not so important to the one as
to the other, is always looked to both by the pleasure-
hunter and the man of business. No person, whether on
business or pleasure, feels any gratification in be-
ing fastened in a railway carriage and stuck
upon a viaduct a mile from any station for
three-quarters of an hour, as I have been when the
atmospheric principle was in vogue on the Croydon line,
it being found impracticable for that length of time to
get the carriages either backward or forward. The
doing away with the atmospheric principle on the
Croydon line has had another good effect, it has enabled
the company to keep a distinct up-line for the Brighto❑
and Dover trains, as well as one for the Croydon, and
thereby considerably to increase the facilities of traffic
on the line, and to put an end altogether of the least
chance of the Brighton or Dover trains running into the
Croydon ones, which, but for the great care and vigi-
lance of the officers of the company, might have
been the case, in consequence of the Croydon
trains having to stop at so many stations. For
the promptitude with which the present directors have
eradicated the evils in the management of the Croydon
line, of which the public have so justly complained, I
think they are entitled to their best thanks, and I ven-
ture to predict that neither the directors or the share-
holders will over have cause to regret the steps they
have taken to insure the convenience and comfort of the
public.

I am, Sir, your obedient servant,
A CONSTANT READER.

THE PEMBROKE COLLECTION Oa, COlNS.—Yester-
day the private view of the entire Pembroke collection of
Greek, Roman, English, and other coins and medals,
which are to be disposed of by public auction, took place
at Messrs. Sotheby and Wilkinson's Rooms, Wellington-
street, Strand. This collection, the finest probably ever
brought to the hammer, was formed by Thomas Earl of
Pembroke, prior to the year 1746; and a full description
of the rare coins forming it were published in that year
in two volumes. The sale will extend over a period of
twelve days; the first two being devoted to the disposal
of the coins and medals forming the English series.
Some of the coins in this series are of the utmost rarity,
particularly a penny of Valfred, Archbishop of Canter-
bury, struck between 803 and 830, and other ecclesias-
tical coins of the Anglo-Saxon and Norman periods. The
patterns for the English coinage are of the finest descrip-
tion, and having been untouched for upwards of a cen-
tury, are in a beautiful state of preservation. Among
them is one of the celebrates! " Pattern Crowns," by Si-
mon, which are of such rarity that the last one sold pro-
duced the large sum of 1551 The one at the Duke of
Devonshire's coin sale some years back sold for upwards
of 2001. To show the rarity of the Roman gold coins,
it may be mentioned that the series commence above one
hundred years before the birth of our Saviour, and
is
continued down to the taking of Constantinople by the
Turks, in 1453. The extreme rarity of the types, and
the beautiful condition of the coins, make the series stand
in the highest rank among the collections of Europe.
Many of the medals are of great rarity, and in some
instances unique; while the Greek coins rank among
some of the finest known. This sale has for upwards
of twelve months excited the attention of the lovers of
numismatics, and is looked forward to with considerable
interest.

SPORTING INTELLIGENCE.
1 GOODWOOD RACES.—WEDNESDAY.
The weather was again wretchedly unfavourable; fre-
quent heavy showers, with a high wind and a thick mist,
offering but small inducement to those who were not
1 staying in the immediate neighbourhood. The attend-
ante, therefore, although much larger than on the first
day, was not by any means so numerous as we have
usually seen on the Goodwood Stakes day. The racing,
which was excellent, was again remarkable for the over-
throw of the favourites—amongst them The Hero, who
could not run through the mud, and was beaten cleverly
by a horse who would have no chance with him on good
ground. Ha was immediately after scratched for the Cup.
The races come off in the following order:—
The Queen's Plate of 100 guineas; three yrs old, 7st 41b;
four, 9st 21b; five, 9st 131 b; six and aged, lOst 41b.

5 to 1 on The Hero, who went off with the lead, and
made running at a slow pace, to the hill, where the speed
mended, the favourite still leading, and looking so much
like winning, that 50 to 1 was offered on him; Footstool,
however, caught him at the distance, headed him at the
stand, and won by a length. Run in 8 min. 24 secs.
The Stewards' Cup of 300 sovs. value, added to a handk-
cap Sweepstakes of 5 soya. each. T.Y.C. (45 Subs.)

got off in a line, and, with Clementine and Franciscan
for their leaders, kept their array to the end of the dia•
tance, where a lot of horses went to the front, and there
was a regular scramble until about half-way up; the
three placed by the Judge then separated from the body
and finished the race; the Admiral winning by a neck,
and Landrail beating the Prior of St. Margaret's by half
a length. Run in 1 min. 21 secs.

lying up. They remained in pretty nearly this order to
the turn into the straight running, where Chanticleer and
Plaudit took their places next Raisthorpe, waited on
him until near the distance, defeated him, and went on
together, the grey with a trifling lead. In a few strides
this pair was singled out, and the grey, increasing his

with their engagements, which were described in the
catalogue of sale, the Ham Stakes being omitted, the seller
reserving to himself the power of scratching. (Wedgy was
