TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN.

SlR,—The thanksoFailhCildera of railway property
are eminently due to you for the unwavering support
you have given to their interests on all fair occasions,
and especially when they have been, as at present, so
mercilessly and unjustly assailed by a class of men tech-
nically styled Bears.
The remarks in the Money article of your yester-
day's impression are most just. lam no gambler, no
speculator for a fall or rise, but an inverter of such of
my earnings as can be spared from capital in either
railway or other securities. I bought Midland shares at
501., believing them to be a good investment; they went
up to 661., and I did not sell. Within six weeks they are
jobbed down to 381., and why? Because, owing to a
particular and temporary competition for passenger
traffic of a certain class, their traffic for some few weeks
has not shown well, and so the Bulls "bang" the mar-
ket; but let holders of Midlands keep en their guard.
Do not sell a share. Depend upon it you have a sound,
safe, and improving traffic, and, if I mistake not, the
Bears will soon have to be Bulls, or they will be dread-
fully bit.
There is a dead set at rails just now, but it is all for a
known gambling purpose, and must be temporary. All
bond fide holders should button up their breeches' pocket
and bide their time. I shall, and I know I shall prove
right.—Yours truly,
A LEGITIMATE RAILWAY INVESTER.

Thai LATE Ma. Sneth.—The remains of the late
Right Hon. R. L. Sheil are to be conveyed to Ireland from
Florence, for interment at Long Orchard, in the county of
Tipperary. Lord Palmerston, in a communication to M.
Shed, intimated the readiness of the Admiralty to convey
the remains of her late husband to Ireland in a vessel of
war; and, on the receipt of the reply of that lady, expressing
her anxiety that such accommodation should be afforded,
the necessary order has been issued. A committee is in
course of formation in Dublin with the view of raising, by
public subscription, a fund for the erection of a monument
to the deceased statesman.—Chronicle.

' SCOTTISH FESTIVAL —On Monday the national
game of Carumanachd or Shinnie, was played on Blackheath,
according to custom, by the society of Commn na Gail and
friends. This exhilarating sport is not introduced at Holland
Park, but when there is a goodly muster of well-trained
players it is an interesting sight, the contention for the hale
being sometimes long and keen. It is a favourite game of
the Highlanders, and is admirable as affording opportunity
for the display of athletic vigour and activity. The day was
beautiful—too warm, indeed, for sport which requires such
exertion—but the Gael, stripped to their shirts, did not shrink.
The pleasures of the day were wound up by a dinner, plain
and substantial, but ample and appropriate to a gathering of
Highlandmen and " brither Scots," with their wives, sisters,
and sweethearts, provided at the usual rendezvous, the
Princess of Wales.

FANCY BAZAAR. AT VAUXHALL GARDENS.—Yes-
terday at a meeting of the friends of the Royal Orthopedic
Hospital, it was stated that the forthcoming fife and fancy
bazaar in aid of the building fund, would take place at Vaux-
hall-gardens on the 29th and 30th inst. Her Majesty sad a
numerous list of distinguished individuals have extended
their special patronage to the undertaking.
THE THANKSGIVING MODEL LODGING-HOUSES.—
It will be recollected that the Society for the Improvement
of the Condition of the Labouring Classes resolved in com-
memoration of the removal of the cholera in 1849 to erect a
group of model lodging-houses to bear the name of
" Thanksgiving." The site selected was formerly occupied
as the Sun or " Wyatt's Ale Brewery" in Portpool-lane, a
locality where it is well known that the crowded, confined,
and ill-ventilated rooms abound, affecting both the moral
and sanitary condition of the neighbourhood. The building
has been erected upon the same principle as Prince Albert's
model houses in Hyde-park, with the same improved system
of ventilation and preservation from the application of patent
metallic lava to the roofs, the whole of the fore-court areas,
washhouse, &c. The extreme length of the buildings are 130
feet 7 inches, and about 97 feet in width, and contain accom-
modation for eight small families, with two rooms and a
scullery each, and for twelve large families, with three rooms
and a scullery each ; and for 128 women, two in each room,
which is upon the average of twelve feet six inches by nine
feet. The whole is now just completed, and will in a few
days be fit for the reception of inmates. The following in-
scription has been placed upon one of the principal fronts :
" Thanksgiving Model Buildings, erected in commemoration
of the removal of the cholera in 1849. Offer unto God
thanksgiving, and pay thy vows unto the Most High.'—
Psalm 50, v. 14."

Two CHILDREN FOUND MURDERED.—At an early
hour yesterday morning the mutilated body of a newly-born
male child was discovered by two boys in the ruins of some
old houses in Lambeth-street, IVhitechapel. The deceased
was tied up in an apron, but the head and other parts were
battered in from external violence. The boys gave the body
to Police-constable 27 11, who carried it to the Leman-street
station, where Mr. Meeres, the surgeon, made an examina-
tion of the same. He was of opinion that the child had been
born alive, and its death was the result of great violence,
Since the discovery a female living in the neighbourhood
has been taken into custody by the police on suspicion of
causing the death of the infant. Another body of a child
was found by the police yesterday morning on the step of a
door in Londoa-wall, City. The child had been recently born,
