TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN.

s;ta,—Seeing an account in this evening's Sun of a
41*, .:t fire at Moulmein, whereby there were 300 houses de-
.t.,,yed, I think there must have been some exaggeration in
correspondent's story; for Moulmein does not contain
near that number of houses. I received a letter this
rnn ning from a brother at Moulmein, dated Jan. 29,
w :erein he states, that on the 20th of Jan. there was a
g ..at fire, but that was the funeral pile for the burning of
a oungy, or priest, who, according to his own wishes, was
b ant; and, being above a common man, had a larger pile
t .n usual, and the blaze was seen for many miles round :
so 'fy that, I think, your correspondent only saw the re-
decion of the burning, and thinking, as he was coming to
England, it would be something to tell about when he
ea Tie home ; and I am very sorry that you should have
!ie ad it, and have put it in this evening's Sun, as there
is not the least foundation for what has been said.
I believe the statement said the 20th of Jan. lam sorry
t m trouble you with this, but I think it cannot be con-
•radicted. Moulmein is only a small village on the Ge-
nal4ian coast, about 1,400 miles from Madras.

" THE EXCLUSIVES" are greatly annoyed at
the expose of the new Novel of " Fitzgeorge," and are
suite at a loss to divine who it is that has let out " the
.ecrets of the prison-house." The Stamford Bee is of
a pinion that " it will be perused by readers of all parties,
int of all classes, and must create a sensation."

The King of PRUSSIA has conferred upon
Lord ADOLPHUS FITZCLARENCE the cross of the Order of
the Red Eagle of the first class, and upon Alessi's. SPAR-

Lord MONSON, who purchased oue of the
magnificent houses in Carlton-'errac,, at a cost, we believe,
of 20,0001., after expending 11,0001. in embellishing the
edifice, does not consider it a suitable residence for himself
snd his noble bride, and has given directions to have the
1 I mansion sold.

The Earl of WINCHILSEA was unable to at-
tend the Marquess of CAMDEN'S fete, in consequence of an
iccident which befel the Noble Earl a few days previously,
vbile observing the progress of the workmen in the bay
Geld. The Earl took up a prong fink, which be -carelessly
threw over his shoulder, after he had tossed the grass about
in process of drying, and suffered the handle to slip from
'is grasp, by which accident the prong inflicted a severe
v. and just above his heel. We are happy to say the
Noble Earl is better.—Kentish Chronicle.

It is stated that Harrogate has not been so

The English Reform measure is now coin,
plete ; the Bill adjusting the " Boundaries" of the divided
counties, and of the enlarged or newly-created borouglie,
'.(.2sterday received the Royal assent ; therefore, as far a,s:
he English question is concerned, no demise of the
Cr iwn (in event which, it is to be hoped, may be long
.verted) can place it in jeopardy;—and thus the English
Reform Bills were made SAW on the day that the triumph
of Reform was celebrated in the Guildhall of the city of
London.

Dr. FERGUSON died of cholera on Sunday,

We regret to state that a letter from Count
VILLA FLOR, of the 26th June, received in London, men-
tions the death of the Conde di CALGARY, elde,t son of

the Marquis of PALMELLA, which took place on the 21st
June. This estimable young man was educated in Eng-
trui, and greatly distinguished himself at the London

University.

THE LAW AND THE GOSPEL.-At a titllC
4 kle at Mount Shannon, the clergyman, the Rev. Mr.

tensed ? If he should be licensed, and this parson has
acted without one, we wish to know will our Tory Ar-
101tNEY-GENERAL prosecute him for the penalty he has
neurred ?—Dublin Morning Register.
CHOLERA IN BRIDEWELL.—From
in-
quiries which we have made, we have ascertained that the

s atement contained in our Guildhall pace report of yes-
terday, respecting the liberation of the prisoners from
Bridewcll, in consequence of the cholera having appeared
there, is not correct. None of the prisoners have yet
been discharged, nor can they be without the King's
prrdon being first obtained for them. The measure in
contemplation is, we are informed, to liberate the healthy
prisoners.
REPRESENTATION OF TIPPERARY.-The

THE NEW WORK BY THE AUTHOR OF

, "DARNLET."—A most spirited and interesting story—a
vivid picture of the times, with quite enough of historical
incident to identify the period, and bring in former asso-
ciations to lend their attraction to fiction. No one can
read " Henry Masterton" without forming a general and
correct notion of the state of England in the eventful days
to which the story relates. The fanaticism on both sides—
the one religious, the other royal—the dreadful distress of
a country whose own plains are the field of battle—the
evil brought out prominently by tumult and temptation ;
4oad, too, existing under all circumstances—such as ac-
tually characterized that stirring epoch, are here picture
by one who has already, as a novelist, rendered himself a
great favourite with the public.
An amusing incident occurred on Thursday
evening: several Irish gentlemen were anxious to procure
seats under the gallery, to hear the debate on Mr. STAN-
LEY'S motion ; amongst those was the Rev. Mr. BuaKr,
of Castlepollard, for whom Mr. CHAPMAN applied to the
SPEAKER for an order to admit him. Before Mr.
CHAPMAN'S return, Mr. JEaNINGHAm had procured the
admission of Mr. BURKE, and when Mr. CHAPMAN came
back to the lobby be gave the order intended for Mr.
BURKE to a friend of his, a gentleman distinguished for
much humour, and likewi•e for a tremendously luxuriant
at:d umbrageous pair of military whiskers. When passing
into the House, the door-keeper asked, " Are you the
Rev. Mr. BURKE?" The other, brushing up his whiskers,
and looking fiercely at the astonished door-keeper, ex-
claimed, in a humorous and broad Munster accent,
" Musha, blood-an-ouns, and do you dot it ?" He
parsed i❑ and related the incident, and no one laughed
more heartily at the joke of his substitute tha❑ did the ex-
cellent and amiable individual whose identity was counter-
feited, —D übl in Freeman's Journal.

The Ladies Patronesses of the Royal Dispen-
sary for curing Diseases of the Ear, and the Deaf and
D imb, in consequence of the unfavourable weather dur-
ing- their recent fete in the Regent's Park, have been in-
duced to hold another in Vauxhall Gardens on the 16th
of July, in aid of the same benevolcut Institution. The
abj et of the Royal Dispensary, we would premise for the
information 3f those who may not be acquainted with it,
e usists not merely in giving advice gratis to all who
apply for it, and supplying acoustic instruments to such as
require them, but also more particularly directs its inten-
tion to the cure of the deaf ani dumb. And as in these
cases medical care and treatment in early infancy are of
the utmost importance to a successful result, the Governors

have some time had in view (and the proceeds of this
13,z ear are designed to be more particularly devoted to effect
object), the enlargement of the present building, that
th re may he space sufficient to receive i.adoors deaf and
ilivnb infants and young children, and where the restora-
tio i of the faculties of hearing and speech will be the
poilt aimed at, and not what is technically called teach-
ing them by weans of signs, &c.
