TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN.

Sin,—l read with much pleasure your admirable
article in last evening's paper on " Military Colonisa-
tion," and quite concur in your views " that the offer
ought first to have been made to Englishmen," for even
had they declined it the Government could then have
had recourse to the Foreign Legions ; but from my ex-
perience I am certain there would have been no difficulty
in obtaining plenty of men equally " trained to arms"
as the German o mps, who would have been glad to have
embraced the opportunity. I refer to the regiments of
disembodied militia, for on the arrival of the order for
disembodiment of the regiment I served in I inquired
of a number of men how they liked the prospect of being
again thrown on their own resources, but the majority
replied that "now they had once adopted a military life
they would rather continue it even though it were on
foreign service."
Apologising for troubling you—l remain, sir, yours
most obediently,

WALTER SAVAGE LAND OR ON TYRANNICIDE,

TO J. MERITON WHITE.

At the present time I have only 1001. of ready money
at my disposal, and am never likely to have so much in
future. Of this I transmit to you five, towards " the
acquisition of 10,000 muskets to be given to the first
Italian province which shall rise." The remaining 951.
I reserve for the family of the first patriot who asserts
the dignity and performs the duty of tyrannicide. Abject
men have cried out against me for my commendation of
this virtue, the highest of which a man is capable, and
now the most imperative. Is it not an absurdity to re-
mind us that usurpers will rise up afresh ? Do not all
transgressors I And must we therefore lay aside the
terrors of chastisement, or give a ticket of leave to the
most atrocious criminal ? Shall one enslave millions ?
Shall the laws be subverted, and we be told that we act
against them or without their sanction when none are
left us, and when, guided by eternal justice, we smite
down the subvertor ? Three or four blows, instantane•
ous and simultaneous, may save the world many years of
war and degradation. If it is unsafe to rob a citizen,
shall it be safe to rob a people ? In what country is not
every schoolboy taught, even by the priests who are
ordinarily his instructors--here impelled unconsciously
by a hand invisible—to applaud the self-devoted vindi-
cator 7 The ferule strikes the desk, and the boy rises

THE CASES OF SUFFOCATION AT WORCESTRR.—WOR -
CUSTER, Wednesday.—The inquest on the bodies of the
five men, Drew, Powell, Rogers, Witte, and Bough,
who were suffocated by carbonic acid gas while cleaning
out ri gin vat, as noticed in this paper on Monday last,
was concluded last night. A great many witnesses were
examined to prove the facts already reported. The jury
returned a verdict in each case of "Accidental death,
caused by suffocation and poisoning by carbonic acid
gas."
IMPUDENT BURGLARY AND EXTORTION.—A few nights
since Mr. Wilson, law stationer, in Harewood-place,
Oxford-street, had his premises entered by burglars, who
carried off a quantity of legal documents, only of value
to the real owners, several pounds worth of stamps, and
other property; 1001. worth of parchment stamps was
found in the passage, which the fellows had dropped in
their flight. Mr. Wilson found in a morning journal an
advertisement referring to his lost property, with an
intimation that on the receipt of 801. all that had been
stolen would be given up. An answer by the same
solace was requested in the initial "Q." Finding it an
impossibility to obtain possession of his property by any
other means, Mr. Wilson has replied to the advertise.

TO TIIE EDITOR OF THE TIMES.

Mr. E litor,—lf your Special Correspondent bad taken
the trouble to examine the chart of Cronstadt, which a
sensible and honest man ought to have done before he
attacked me, he would have seen that the north of Cron-
stadt could only be approached by gun and mortar boats
with a light draught of water, not one of which I bad.
He would also have seen that the passage to the north
(which was never navigable for large ships) was protect.
ed by a barrier, supported by S or 10 block ships, up-
wards of 100 gun-boats, several steamers, and the boats
of 20 sail of the line.
Your Special Correspondent says—" The Russians
were perfectly aware that the northern side could be
forced, and that it was quite possible for a determined
enemy to run past the forts, most of which were con-
structed in arcs of spheres, having their maximum
amount of guns available for an enemy passing their
right flank."

Now, Mr. Editor, the Russians knew perfectly well
that the passage to the north was not practicable for
large ships, and there were no batteries constructed in
arcs of spheres. To the north it was barred, as I have
already described, and only could have been attacked by
gun and mortar boats of light draught of water ; and
this I stated to the Admiralty in 1354, and was compli•
mented on what they were pleased to term my very able
report.

In 1355, when Admiral Dundag appeared off, they
had in the winter of 1854-5 constructed another barrier
outside of the shoal water, to further protect the north ;
and though he found a passage through the piles in his
gig, he did not venture to attack the north of Cronstadt
with the gun-boats he had at his disposal. Why he
was not furnished with more, the Admiralty can best
answer ; they had a year for consideration.
In 1856, when I was at Cronstadt, they had constructed
a third barrier right across, protected by five batteries,
which rendered all attack on the north impossible,
Had the Admiralty, in the autumn of 1853, well ex-
amined the north of Cronstadt, they would have known
that gun and mortar boats were the only means of
attacking it with success ; and if I could make such a
report from a reconnaissance from the sea in 1854, a
much better one might have been made from the north
wall in 1853.

You have done everything in your power, Mr. Editor,
since the 4th of October, 1854 (the day on which the
hoax of Sebastopol arrived in England), to ruin my re-
putation ; but I think you have failed, and your Special
Correspondent has put you deeper in the mire.
I remain, your obedient servant,
Merchi.town, Oct. 1, 1856. Cues, NAPIER.

kard. We do not mean that the very sight of a
drunken man is not itself a nuisance, but can be
be called a nuisance in an essentially different
sense to a fop, or a coquette, or even to a man
who will annoy you with low, loose, or vulgar
talk in a public conveyance. Our sentiment's of
morality or propriety cannot be made the fouct-
dation of coercive or penal laws. They must
rest on the basis of tangible or unequivocal injury
to person or property. The error of the Alliance
appears to us to be, impatience of moral means.
They would force men to abstain from moral evil.
They see, not more strongly than all of us, the
tremendous mischief, the curse, the wretchedness,
the loss of character, of property, of everything
due to habits of intoxication, and they would
take the royal road to prevention. We own the
frequent temporary advantage of despotism, but
for all that, it is the curse and bane of our race.

DISCOVERY OF A NEW _ISLAND.

BOSTON, SEPT. 18.
Captain Dunn, of the barpue Dragon, at Salem, from
Padang, reports that 611 the passage from the Nee

DARING GAROTTE ROBBERY.—Edward William?, a
tall, stout young fellow, was brought before Mr. Bing.
bam, charged with the following daring garotte robbery :
Thomas Sparkes, a seama❑ residing at No. 5, Tyler's-
court, Regent-street, stated that last night be met with
the prisoner and two other men in a public-house near
Leicester-square, whore he treated them with something
to drink. Witness was rather fresh at the time, but
knew what he was about. After remaining in the public-
house for Nome time, they adjourned to a coffee-house in
Castle-street and partook of some coffee. They then
left the house, and directly he got outside he felt quite
drunk and stupid, as if he had been drugged. Tie
prisoner and the two other men supported him, and after
proceeding a short distance down the street they pushed
him into a court, and the prisoner seized him by the
throat and threw him down, while the other two men
rifled his pockets, taking from them a purse containing
2/. 10s., and a silver watch worth 4/.
The prisoner was committed for trial.

and had been stripped of her guns and warlike material,
and converted into a transport ship. No one can sup-
pose, therefore, that there was the least crowding on
board of her, such being the case.
This, then, is an exact and circumstantial account of
all that concerns the persona transported, during their
passage, and since their arrival at Cayenne. It is the
simplest and best contradiction of the falsehoods which
have been written upon this subject, and with which
it has been attempted to impose upon foreigners.

NAPLES.

The French journals continue to speak of the
Neapolitan expedition as a project suspended in
order to give time for a final effort to be made at
Naples by Lieutenant Field Marshal Martini, on
the part of Austria.
The partisans of the King of Naples boast of the
immense " moral support," which his Majesty
cannot fail to find iu the circular of Prince Gort-
scliakoff.
The Nord of Brussels calls attention to the fol-
lowing letter, dated Vienna, Sept. 26 :
The sensation which I mentioned in my yesterday's
letter as having been caused by the news of the proxi-
mate appearance of an allied squadron in the Bay of
Naples has somewhat subsided to-day, from the convic-
tion entertained in Government circles that, if such a
demonstration is intended, at all events it will not take
place just now. I think I may assure you that our dip-
lomatic agents at London and at Paris received a few
days since urgent instructions from Count Buol to induce
the Western Governments to adjourn the execution of
their maritime demonstration against King Ferdinand.
There is every reason to believe that the two great
Allied Powers will show sufficient consideration for Aus•
trio, who is more or less engaged in this deplorable con-
flict, to await the result which our envoy to Naples,
General Martini, may succeed in obtaining from the
King of Naples.
According to a report which has been current here for
some days, the number of our troops in the Roman Le-
gations is to be considerably increased, with ai little de-
lay as possible. It is even said that two additional regi-
ments of infantry, and one of cavalry, have already
entered the Legations. The ground for this is, that
France having resolved to send reinforcements to
her troops at Rome, our safety and political interests
render it necessary for us to strengthen ourselves in the
Legations.

As regards another piece of news, no lams serious,
which is circulated at Vienna, I cannot speak positively.
ft is said the Piedmontese Government has notified to
Paris and London its inteution of joining a squadron to
that of the two reat maritime Powers in the Bay of
Naples.

I need scarcely tell you with what feelings this news
wa3 received by our Government and by the public ; it
is to be hoped for the peace of Italy that the active in-
terference of diplomacy will prevent the realisation of a
project which would singularly complicate a state of
affairs already so much endangered in the Italian penin-
sula.

Recruiting for the army of the King of Naples,
according to the Augsburg Gazette, is going on
with great activity in Switzerland, and every week
are to be seen fresh detachments of Swiss soldiery,
who have been enlisted in that service, marching
through Bormio, with cries of " Vivo le Roi Fer-
dinand !"

MARKET NEWO. aY

CORN EXCHANGE.
The present week's arrivals of Engllo2 wheat up to our
market, coastwise, and by land carriage, have been very
moderate, and the show of samples here to-day was small.
For most kinds, however, the demand was in a sluggish
state, at Monday's prices.
The imports of foreign wheat are 13,930
qua; tern. Sales
of all kinds progressed slowly, yet we have very littla
change to notice in the quotations.
A large quantity of foreign barley was on offer, ,mid the
barley trade ruled dull, at barely Monday's decliia 113
value.

The business doing in malt was limited, yet we have no
actual change to notice in prices.
Good sound oats were rather dearer, and other quAlitie4
ruled steady.
Beans, peas, and flour as on Mon(lay. '

STATE OF ThADE.

MANCHESTER, SErr. 25.
There has been a fair business doing in the market to-
day for most descriptions of goods and yarns, bet prices
have undergone no alteration since Tuesday. Business
has been considerably checked for some time past by the
uneasiness felt with regard to tbecondition and prospects
of the money market, but the absence of unfavourable
news from the Bank of England this afternoon may pos-
sibly tend to a more confident feelinv. So far there has
been very little alteration in values during the past
month, and, although in that period shirtings for India
and China have declined about lid. per piece, it must he
noted that some descriptions of printers and ahirtings
have considerably improved.
NOTTINGHAM, SEPT. 25.
There is not much alteration in the lace trade, which
continues in a satisfactory state, considering the time of
the year. Respecting future prospects our manufacturers
are sanguine. The high price of the raw material is
against silk goods, notwithstanding which a fair trade is
doing in those articles.
The hosiery trade is quiet, but not more than is usual
at this period of the year.

BRADFORD, SETT. 25.
In tl e piece trade today there is rather a quiet, but,
on the whole, seasonable business doing, when it is con-
sidered that we are near the end of the month. Combing
wools meet a tolerably fair demand, and there does not
appear the slightest chance of their becoming easier.
This is in great measure attributable to the confidence
manifested at the metropolitan wool sales that present
rates will be maintained, and that they will be even fur-
ther enhanced as stocks get into compass. The report re•
ceived today state: that rather more business has been
done in English wools, that the demand for the conti-
nent is improving, and that several Bra Iford buyers
have been in attendance at them during the week. This
report gave a firmness to our trade in c.)mbing wools
this morning, yet a steady business was done. There
was a fair amount of orders given for yarns, but the
prices consequent on the firmness in wool are the great
difficulty in this branch. The demand is principally for
numbers suited to shipping purposes for the continental
markets.

LETTERS FOR THE COLONY OF NATAL. —Referring to
the notice issued on the 22d ult.. in which it was stated
that letters for the colony of Natal, when forwarded
from this country by ships proceeding only as far as the
Cape of Good Hope, would be liable to an extra charge
on delivery, for their conveyance from the Cape
to Natal ; the Postrowtel-General has now to announce
that he has received official information of the abolition,
by the Government of Natal, of the extra charge in ques-
tion, thus placing the letters on the same footing, whe-
ther they are sent to Natal direct or viz the Cape of
Good Hope. By command of the Postwaster•General.

AQUATICS.

LONDON UNITY ROWING CLUB.
This filurishing tradesmen's olub closed their season
yesterday with two pair-oared races fer silver cup,
liberally presented by C. Morton, Esq., of the Canter-
bury Hall, Lawbetb.

In order to give every El embor of the club a fair
chance of success the members were divided into two
&asses, with a separate and distinct race for each class.
At half-past four o'clock the first class race was started,
consisting of the following pairs :
Blue--Jones and R. Ayckborne 1
White—T. Day and R. Mider 0
Red—G. Hirst and J. Arnor
Black—R. Bain and O. Lockett

The distance was from the new bridge at Battersea to
W•=stminster-bridge.
After several false starts they at length got away,
white taking the lead, followed by black, and red thin!.
After a few strokes a slight foul took place between black
and red, during which blue got second, and, after a
soTero struggle, succeeded in wresting the lead from
white and maintained it to the fini,h, winning the race
by about three boat lengths ; white second, red a go-)d
third nail coming through Vauxhall-bridge, when they
were swamped by a steamboat, which quite put their
chance out.

At a quarter past six o'clock the following six pairs
of third and fourth class men came to their stations to
start for the second class race:—
Blue—lt. Jonei and It. Green
\White—W. Mills, jun., and E. Tulke
Green—C. Glenister and F. Miller
Black—E. Whittaker and It Julian
Yellow—W. Mills, sen , and F. Knight 0
Red—W. Woodi.ridge and J. Burrows

The distance_ was the same as for the first race.

Atter one false start the lot got away pretty well to.
gather, blue taking the lead and maintaining it t the
end, closely pressed by white, green being a good third.
The others tailed off considerably. Blue rowed in a boat
which was protested against by all the others as having
been barred from the race. It therefore remains for the
club to decide whether tbey are the wingers or net.
Mr. W. Sanderson, who officiated as umpire, gave
general satisfaction.

THE SEA SERPaNT AGAIN!

The following is an extract from the log-book of the
ship Princess, Captain A. $. N. Tremearne, in the
L.aidon Docks, on the 15th inst., from China, viz. :
" Tuesday, July 8, 1856. Latitude accurate, 34 deg.
56 min. S. ; longitude, accurate, 18 deg. 14 min. E. ;
gentle breeze, fine weather. At 1 p.m. saw a very large
fish, with a head like a walrus, and 12 ,ins similar to
hose in a blaekfish, hut turned the contrary way ; the
Lac:: was from 20 to 30 feet long, also a great length of
lad. It is not improbable that this monster has been
taken fur the great sea serpent. Fired, and hit it near
the bead with rifle-ball. At 8 wind fresh and fine."
We submit that the repeated accounts of seeing a
marine monster, whatever be its correct name or kind,
yet harmonizing in some leading descriptions, forbid
►onger doubt of some such creature existing, and we en-
c:th-e you a rough sketch (as this one appeared), signed
by Captain Tremearne, who has been six years in our
employ and is otherwise well known. His own private
104 contains a similar record, and we have interrogated
others of the Princess's crew, who assert the fact of such
appearance.

Captain Tremearne states that Captain Morgan, a pas-
senger by the Princess, but who at St. Helena joined tho
ship Senator, to command her to Liverpool, (where she
is daily expected), also saw this monster, and can corro-
borate the statements.

Until the 13th of October the Princess will be at
London•dock jetty, loading for Me bourne, and natural-
ists or other scientific persons can there make further
inquiries, provided they do not subject Captain Tre-
'bourne to ,correspondence or interrupt ship's duties,
which are urgent for her speedy departure.

RAILWAY INTELLIGENCE.

EAST SUFFOLK.
The half-yearly meeting of this company was held on
Tuesday at Haleswortb. The Right Hon. the Earl of
Srradbroke presided.
There was a foil attendance of shareholders.
The CHAIRMAN read the report of the directors, which
congratulated the meeting on Parliament having autho-
rised the construction of the lines from Lowestoft to
Beccles, and from Yarmouth to Haeldiscoe, which, if
amalgamated with the East Suffolk Railway, would be
of great advantage to the three companies and the pub-
lic. The directors recommended this amalgamation and
the acceptance of the offer made by Sir Morton Peto to
extend the lease of the lines from 14 to 21 years, at 6
per cent, per annum ; to lay down a double line of rails
from Yarmouth to Woodbridge ; and to increase the
amount of security for the payment of the rent of the
line from 50,0001. to 100,0001., to be deposited with
Lord Stradbroke and Mr. J. H. Gurney, M. P. The
report further stated that the works were proceeding
satieacturily and with despatch.
The report was adopted..
A special general meeting was then held for the pur-
pose of considering the above, which, after an explana-
tion from Sir M. Peto as to the cost of doubling the
ines—of the arrangement he had made for paying the
nterest of 6 per cent, from the Ist of July next, whe-
her the line be open for traffic or not—and for securing
he efficient management of the working of the line, and
ontinuance of the interest in case of his death, were
unanimously adopted by the meeting.
The proceedings concluded with votes of thanks to
the Chairman, and to Sir M. Peto for the liberal manner
in which he had treated the company.

minus of the English packet line will be Milford Haven.
In addition to this we are now in a position to inform
our readers that an extensive commercial company has
been formed, whose ships are to sail between this country
and the East Indies. The first determination of the
