TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN.

SIR,—I have read in the papers a statement, that the
Magnificent collection of animals and birds, which the
late Earl of Derby, at an enormous expense, had pro-
cured, are to be offered to the Queen, and in the event
of her Majesty not accepting them, they are to be given
to the Zoological Society in the Regent's-park.
I trust her Majesty will accept them, because, then I
am sure they will eventually be disposed of so as to
gratify the greatest number of her Majesty's subjects.
I will not atop to inquire if the Zoological So.: 1

SMITHFIELD MARKET.— Yesterday, in the Parlia-
mentary Committee on this Bill, Lord Bathurst in the chair,
the day was occnpied with the speech of Mr. Talbot Q.C.,
counsel oa behalf of the corporation, and which lasted until
the Committee adjourned to this day, when evidence against
the Uovernment Bill will be gone into.

We have already stated that the new Concordat
with the Porn was addressed by the Tuscan Govern-
ment to all the bishops of the Grand Duchy, accom-
panied by a circular of the Minister of Foreign
Affairs, which would appear to be a manifest infrac-
tion of .Art. 2 of the Concordat, since it asserts the
right of the Government to be consulted by the
bishops in all matters relating to the posting up of
episcopal notifications, and to the appointment of
preset:en.. The Risorgimexto of Turin of the
13't publishes a second circular, dated the 30th
nit., and signed by the 'Minister of Ecclesiastical
Atrairs, Signor BOLOGNA, which lays a restriction
upon Art. 5 of the Concorde, in so far as it relates
to the free communication with the Holy See gua-
ranteed to bishops, since it requires all Papal acts to
be submitted to the ex2quatur of the Tuscan Govern-
ment, and maintains moreover the rules established
in Tuscany since 1815 with respect to the communi-
cation of friars with their superiors.
The Milan Gazette quotes a letter from Rome, of
the 1243, announcing that Signor MAGNELLO, the
Sardinian Consul-General at Rome, has left that
capital, and will in all probability not have a sue•
censor.

WOODS AND FORESTS EVICTIONS.-THE

CASE OF AAN LUCKS.

The magistrate at Marlborough-street Police-court
received the following letter yesterday:---
'• Sir,—Tho case of Ann Hicks, as reported in the
papers of this morning, appears so harsh, cruel, mad
unjust, and deserving of relief, that I am induced to ask
you kinoly to allow the enclosed sovereign to be for•
warded to her, it being unlikely I could find her real-
dence.—l em, Sir, rwpeetfufly,

[ADVERTISEMENT.] TRAVELLERS.—CommeroiaI
travellers are, of all men, the most social ; their profession
often places them within situations where they are obliged to
freely patronise the science of gastronomy, and to yield to
the seductive allurements of the " rosy god ;" no harm from
these indulgences would ever be telt if they were to take
two or three of Old Parr's Life Pills at night. This fin•
stomachic Medicine would, without the slightest disturbance
or pain, clear off all acidities, which would otherwise remain
in the stomach and bowels, and: produce feverish headache,
and all other unpleasant symptoms On account of their
mild and effective operation they are now more used by all
travellers than any other medicines are. For sea voyages
they are acknowledged to be all that is required, preventing
all scurvy, &c. Sold by Messrs. Barclay and Sons, Farringdon-

Antwerp to London on Wednesday last, and reached her
