with a moderate demand.

Codfish—Three cargoes have arrived in quick succes-
sion since our last. The half of the first was taken
at 15s. 3d. f.,r large and small fish in casks together, and
boxes at 18s. The remainder was parcelled out at 15s,
for casks, and same price per box. But little progress
has been made in the sale of the other cargoes at the
latter rates, and the article hangs rather heavily on hand
theareat. The market is well supplied.
Pork is generally inactive. Some sales of mess have
been made at 725. per barrel, and of prime at 60s. to 625.;
but notwithstanding its inactivity, holders ate firm at our

at 6id. a 7d. We have nut heard of any transactions in
English, which are scarce. The former are plentiful.

Halifax, at 100 s. 120,000 feet from St. John, N. 8., at

Ginger—No operations have reached us ; but we may
report the article at our last rates—say 6d. to ls. per lb.,
according to quality.
Freights—There are not a groat many vessels on the
barth—but as the quantity of produce offering is small,
tonnage is quite abundant, and, consequently, in little

ST.BARNABAS CHURCH, PIMLICO

TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN.

SlR,—Yesterday the votaries of Puseyism at the
above place were somewhat thrown back by a burst
of indignation from some persons attending that
so-called " place of worship" (which would be better
designated as a "place of amusement"), who cried out,
"No Popery !" They were doubtless men who
could not retrain from giving vent to their feel-
ings as Englishmen whose rights and pri-
vileges of worshipping their God in the purity
and simplicity taught by the Gospel, have
been basely usurped, who could not sic down
quietly and see such practices observed at once dero-
gatory to themselves:as:men and Christians in a Chris-
tian country, but also unwarranted by the Holy
Scriptures, which along are able to make men wise
unto salvation. Let us, however, mark the effect pro-
duced upon the ministers who of course by their
calling are expected to set an example to the people,
and to show their courage in firmly mantaining the
religion of the Church of England whenever it should
be attempted to be interfered with. Well, Sir, they
showed their courage by closing the church in the
evening, theyishowed their courage by obtaining a body
of policemen, and stationing them round the building
to prevent the mob collected from creating a riot,
and further they showed their courage by posting
bills on the various doors " that the service (query)
would be discontinued in the evening until further
notice." This naturally has produced a sensation in
the neighbourhood, and well it may. If their doc-
trines and observances are proper, why should they be
afraid of continuing them ? There is the law to
punish `the peacebreaker, which should be suffi-
cient for their protection ; but methinks that.they
partake little of the courage of their patron saint,
who went- throuh " trials and tribulation" for the
truths's sake, which they at the very shadow of
danger cowardly run from.
At a time like the present, when an effort is being
made for the overthrow of the Church, it must be
gratifying to find that there are those who will not
shrink from warning, even in the sanctity
of a church, men (who should be teachers of the word)
that they are swerving from the oaths taken by them
at their ordination, and that they are not preaching
the truth as it is in Christ Jesus.

Apologizing for this intrusion on your space, but
feeling assured you will use your powerful pen in
banishing all innovations of the Church of Rome, I
give you this statement of the feelings in the neigh-
bourhood of this Puseyite Church.
I am, Sir, yours most obediently,

THE HAT NUISANCE.
TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN.
SIR,—Now that the great Exhibition is fairly
before the public it is gratifying to notice the desire
evinced by all classes to appear before our numerous
foreign guests the intelligent and active nation we
enjoy the credit of being, whilst at the same time the
opportunity is seized upon of directing attention to all
necessary reforms amongst ourselves.
I am desirous, Sir, through your courtesy, of avail-
ing myself of the columns of The Sun to direct a little
of that attention to a subject of the highest import-
ance, concerning, as it does, not only the personal
comfort and convenience of all, but even the reputa-
tion of the nation for judgment and good taste. I
allude, Sir, to the abominable fashion of disfiguring our
persons with those ugly and inconvenient articles of
dress—hats. Can nothing be done in this approaching
eventful year to remove this outrage on good taste,
this relic of barbarism ? Ugly and cumbersome,
heavy and uncomfortable, without a single recom-
mendation, it neither protects the face from sun,
wind, or rain—is always in the way when not in use,
and when on the head a disfigurement to the person—
perhaps the only alloy in an English gentleman's
costume. Of the truth of this latter argument what
better proof can be had than in the fact of the in-
variable rejection of the hat in every work of art,
whethtv painting or sculpture. Who would think of
having his portrait taken with his hat on ? Yet such
is not the case in those countries not cursed with such
a frightful fashion. The graceful Spanish hat, or even
the Turkish turban, form a picturesque and lively
adornment to a picture. Surely it is only necessary to
arouse the public from its apathy on the subject, and
a convenient substitute will soon be found. The en-
suing year will afford an opportunity fur the much-
desired change, which should not be suffered to escape.
Tne appearance of so many foreigners and styles of
dress will enable us to set the tyrant fashion for once
at defiance, whilst a prize hat at the Exhibition will
point to something from which a substitute may readily
be adapted.

With many apologies for this encroachment on your
valuable space, I need only express an earnest hope that
the subject will not be allowed to drop.—l am, Sir, &c.

ARRANGEMENTS FOR THE ATLANTIC MAIL SER-
VICE HURING THE WlNTER.—During the last few weeks ru-
mours have been current to the effect that, under a new ar-
rangement with the Lords of the Admiralty, the steamers of
the Royal Mail service would continue, throughout the
winter months, to run weekly from both sides of the
Atlantic. We believe that for this report there is no founda-
tion whatever ; and although we regret to find the hopes which
had been excited frustrated, yet the fact is unquestionable
that the contract for the service remains entirely unaltered.
We find, however, that even if the British company do
not contemplate extending their enterprise, there will be,
during December, January, l'ebruary, and March,
no actual diminution of moment in our communications with
New York, inasmuch as the United States' mail steamers
have very judiciously arranged to run their splendid steam-
ships from New York, and vice versa, every alternate
week, with the Cunard squadron. Mails will thus be dis-
patched weekly, as at the present moment. It may be
noted, as a further source of satisfaction, that the days
of departure chosen by the American steamers during the
i interval in question will be precisely those now adopted by
the royal mail vessels. namely, from Liverpool, Saturday, and
from New York, Wednesday; so that the existing system
will be preserved in unbroken accordance with the habits
acquired by the mercantile community.—Liverpool Albion.
