the first ? The one would not have been a more de-

has been Ina& and failed ; and it .aveuld
be a simple tempting of the popular pa-
tience, to allow the defeated to assume the
gfil bof victory in our streets. To this end, enforce
the exis!ing law. Put down the brace of young
Familiars of the Inquisition, judging by their dress,
who in their inky clocks have orders to pateule
the neighbourhood of Charing-cross, to accustom the
public to the small end of the wedge., and are as
manifest a parade as the two mounted sentries at the
Horse Guards. Let there be equality ; nobody else
exhibits their mummeries ; why should they?
What is certain is, that the people or England
will get just so much as they vigorously call for. If
they bow before old religious claims, they need not
despair of hearing of old political ones next. The
descendant of the Stuarts, the produce cf some repe-
tition of the warming-pan miracle, whose family
claims have already been recognized in one direction
by the Papal diplomacy, is within ten days' sail, and
can join the Spanish cardinal when asked for. Does
anybody believe, that if Rome, France, Austria,
Russia, and Naples, saw a chance for establishing a
footing in Ireland, he would not be heard of by return
of post? He has been always stirring, hoping
against hope. After the Three Days of Paris, calling
himself an officer in his Majesty's service, he wanted
to shoot Dr. Bowring, and I understand was making
friendly inquiries after me, for having printed the
words " the obsolete tyranny of the Stuarts ;" such
is the nuisance to which the pretended right of assas-
sination is growing. I gave his printed manifesto,
endeavouring to gain the Chartists by the promise of
the abolition of the national debt, to two of her
Majesty's Ministers last session. Under these cir-
cumstances, I confess to the weakness of a conviction
that he is " a real animal." The latest sketch for a
new Star Chamber in Westminster, would make a
good companion print for the programme of the last
Auto da Fe at Seville.
A yet remaining question is, what is to be done
with the Church. Men will not be content without
Reformation, in a Church which has done so much to
hand them over to the ancient foe. The whole mis-
chief began in the Anglican Church; the persecution of
the protomartyr Gorham, for not holding Papistical
nonsense, was what gave Rome the cue that the time
was come to move. To cut away what in its services
has been proved to minister to superstition, wants
nothing but a man. He of Durham will not die a
simple Bishop, unless he makes haste. Perhaps for him
are reserved the honours of a Latimer or Ridley, with-
out the fiery end.
I am, Sir, yours very sincerely,
AN OLD REFORMER.

TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN.
Sin,—The scarcity of boys at the different ports,
as stated in a paragraph in your paper of this day, is
easily accounted for. The boys eligible for entry
must weigh ninety pounds (I think), and be of a given
height and of a certain age. This weight and height
is graduated to the scale of embryo giants. Hence
the scarcity of boys.—l am, Sir, &c.,
