UNKNOWN BODY FOUND.

TO THE EDIToR OF THE SUN.

SlR,—This morning, the body of a female, of respectability,
came on shore here. The body was in a very decayed state, and
much mutilated, but, from the appearance of the hair, I should
judge from 50 to 60 years of age; person of a middling size,
inclining to stoutness. She had on the remains of a black silk
gown, and round the neck, fastened by a narrow black ribbon,
an old fashioned gold watch, with the initials J. G. engraved on
the top; a small red cornelian seal, with a phcenix engraved on
it, and two other gold seals, one a red stone, the other white,
without engraving. The pockets were decayed and partly gone,
but contained a small silver cross and a heart, on each of which
were engraved the letters J. H S. The remains were decently
interred in the church_yard here. Knowing the very extensive
circulation of your valuable paper, I send you the above ac.
count, as it may meet the eye of-the relatives of the deceased.
I remain, Sir, your obedient servant,
" A CONSTANT READER."

THE LONDON COAL TRADE.

TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN.

Ste,—We respectfully invite the attention of your readers to
the existing abuses in connection with this trade, of no
slight importance to the inhabitants of the metropolis.
It is not only requisite that so indispensable a commodity
should be rendered at the lowest figure, but of greater im-
portance, that facilities should be afforded for obtaining such
only as are of the best quality, so well deserving a preference
for economy, combined with cleanliness and cheerfulness in
burning—notwithstanding of the aggregate arrivals of
coals into the port of London, only a fourth are
of that description, whilst almost every family relying on the
integrity of their coal-merchant, is supposed to be supplied with
none other. The total quantity of coals imported and sold at
thecoal market in the past year was 2,006,653 tons, of which
were of Stewart's, Hetton's, and Lambton's Walls End (the
only sorts known as best), not more than 504,695 tons.

We offer a sure protection against the practice, which this
fact too plainly demonstrates, by confining our purchases
wholly to those of best quality. Perhaps we cannot evince, to
the satisfaction of your readers, the integrity of our transactions
more decisively than by remarking (and we do it without fear'
of contradiction) that by the regulations of the trade any
deviation would unavoidably expose us to immediate
detection by coal factors, masters of colliers, coal-meters,
lightermen and others, and as a further test we offer a
premium in a reward of 2001. to any person producing
the necessary proof that we buy any other sorts than Stewart's,
Hetton's and Lambton's, our price for which, including all ex-
penses, is 265. per ton, for cash on delivery.
Orders (post paid) to Purfieet Wharf; Earl-street, Black-
friars, or Western Wharf, Edward-street, Regent's-park Basin.
We are, Sir, your most obedient servants,
RICHARD BEARD & Co.

One of the most exorbitant turnpike tolls in
the kingdom is from Ledbury to Hereford, namely—for a
horse and gig 2s. ; the distance i 9 11 miles. On Sunday
it is double tbat sum.
