TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN.

take the liberty of asking, through the medium
of your paper, whether it is true that the Indian Govern-
ment, owing to the present low state of finances, are deny-
ing to our officers and soldiers the prize money which they
have laboured so hard to win ? In the present time, when
India appears to be disturbed, and there is some prospect of
another rebellion, possibly more awful than the last, the
least that they can do is to reward those who with their
heart and soul have endured so much hardship in the late
long campaign. Depend upon it, should the Indian popu-
lation rebel a second time, Government will repent that
they have not given old soldiers their due.—l am, sir, your
obedient servant,

ATLANTIC STEAMING.—The American steamer
Adriatic, Capt. Comstock, which lately arrived at Havre,
made a remarkably quick passage. She left her dock at
Canal-street, New York, at noon, on Saturday, the 25th of
August ; passed Cape Race Light on Monday, the 27th, at
midnight; reached the Scillies at noon on Monday, the 3d
of September, and arrived off the Needles the same evening
at midnight, thus making the passage across the Atlantic
in 9 days 12 hours apparent time, or, deducting the differ•
ence of time for longitude between New York and Cowes,
in 9 days 7 hours actual running time. The distance from
land to land, or from Cape Race to the Scilly Islands, was
aciomplished in less than 6 days 8 hours actual running
time. The whole distance run to Southampton, as shown
by nautical observation, was 3,325 miles, giving an average
of 14 miles per hour. This speed has been rarely exceeded
by any seagoing steamer.—Galig„„i, s messenger.
