POST-OFFICE SUNDAY LABOUR.
TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN.
SIR,—On Sunday last I wag anxious to get two letters
from the post-office at Huddersfield, but owing to this
absurd regulation, I could not have them till 'Monday
morning, from which I was very much inconvenienced.
I hope it will not be many days before this stupid
alteration is done away with; but should that not appear
likely to take place, I hope you and all the leading
papers will take the matter up, and recommend meet
ings to be held in all the principal towns.
lam well aware that the Ministers thought it better
to let the small fanatical clique have their way for a
short time, itnoNing that a trial of their plan would do
more to condemn it than any arguments trey (the
Minister 9) could make use of ; hut they ought to have
considered the great inconvenience they were puvieg
the community to.
I have a great respect for Lord John Russell and Co.;
their intentions are good, and their measures also, gene—
rally spt aking. Lord John's conduct and speech touching
the Greek affair wag noble in the extreme; but they
want tact, or they would not have suffered themselves to
have been " taken by surprise," as they have been on
several occasions this session, while their own friends
were at dinner. Their friend Sir Robert, had he been
in office, would have kept a more sharp look-out on the
movements of his opponents.
If you have a corner to spare, perhaps you will let
this appear in your valuable paper.—Yours respectfully,
A COMMERCIAL TRAVELLER,
Representing two houses in the city of London.

while on duty on board the Birkenhead steam-troop
frigate, Commander J. A. Stevens, during her late

the favourable testimony borne to his general character
by Captain Yates and other officers, adjudged him to be
reduced to the third class of boatswains in the Royal

THE FLUTE.

The flute, which was the most popular musical instru-
ment of the ancient Greeks, and has remained popular
up to the present time, has lately undergone a revolution
At the be,;inning of the last century it was but a com-
mon whistle. sounded like the modern flageolet, and
termed flute-a-bee. It had no keys, and could produce
only the diatonic scale. The German flute, which sup-
planted this feeble instrument, wets equally liinited in it►s
range of notes, but had a more sonorous tone. The in-
creased cultivation of instrumental music, and the de-
mands of the modern orchestra, whetted the invention of
the emineat performers upon the instrument, and pro-
duced ultimately all the notes of the chromatic scale.
The notes of the original diatonic scale, however, being
imperfect, these additional notes, which were obtained
by keys, were still inferior, and thus the flute, like all
the fingered wind instruments which were similarly cir-
cumstanced, remained proverbially false in intonation.
These defects., however, having proved too gross for mo-
dern ears, the last twenty years have produced a flute
tuned according to equal temperament, and a ith tones
of an equally resonant quality throughout the entire re-
gister of t►he instrument. One of the most active
movers in this direction was Boehm, of Munich, whose
suggestions have been adopted, not only en the flute,
but the oboe, clarinet, and bassoon. Messrs. Rudall and
Rose, who introduced the improvements of this gentle-
man to the English litre player, soon found two classes
of objectors to them—one consisting of those who were
indisposed to make certain changes in the manipulation
which w, re required in playing upon the flute which
went by Boehtu's name, and another class comprised
great numbers who, having adopted the Boehm mode of
fingering, found it more difficult of execution than their
old method. In this dilemma Messrs. Rudall and Rose
made numerous experimental flutes for different in-
ventors, having for an object to reercere-these obstacles
to the free progress of the amelioration of the instru-
ment. But it was not until they met the flute as planned
by Mr. Carte that they were fully satisfied. The patent
of Mr. Carte extends to two flutes, which are contrived
to meet the objections of the two classes of persons re-
ferred to; one flute combining the principle of equally
distributed holes, with the exact fingering of the old
flute, and the other having the same perfection of tone
and intonation, with the fingering somewhat changed,
but affording a facility of execution that is something
extraordinary.

. • _ _
IN THE MATTER OF SAMUEL GRENVILLE FLETCHER.
This insulin-iv, who had been proprietor of the Kentish
Champion, weekly newspaper, apvli-d to be discharged.
He had been nearly two years in prison, five months of
which time he had bi en seriously ill, and had ly,en pre-
vented from making- an earlier application for the want
of means. He had published some " Parliamentary
Portraits," and hid been tecretary to a company called
the Hydraulic Telegraph Company, which had been
provisionally registered.
Mr. H 41, a wine-mPrchant, opposed on the ground
that the insolvent had obtained goods from him to nearly
101., end he had sued him in a county court.
It appeared that a Mend of the insolvent had offered
some of his creditors a composition of 48. in the pound,
which was refused.
Mr. Commissioner LAW was of opinion that Mr. Holl
had good caul, of complaint, but whether he would
press his case rested with him. Is was the insolvent's
fault that he had remained so long in confinement.
The case stood adjourned for a week to amend some

CONVERSATIONS OF THE SUNDAY-BOUND LETTERS.—
We have received a communication, signed " St. Martin-
le-Grand," of so wonderful a nature, that if it had come
from anybody but a saint, and from any saint but St.
Martin-le-Grand, we should never have believed it. St.
Martin avers that the letters detained in a provincial
letter-box have been, in the interval between Satur-
_

day and Monday, owing to the stoppage of postal
communication en the meanwhile through puri-
tanical legislation, so impatient of the delay, that
they could not contain themselves, and have been ac-
tually heard to compare notes. He gives the follow-
ing as a few out of many of their conversations:—
To letter A—which excites attention by heaving a deep
sigh, as if from the heart of the writer—says letter B,
" What are you about? You seem very sentimental;
and you tire sealed with a heart skewered on an arrow."

some little importance." " Mo I should judge," observes
E. " from your liltck. si al." " They are these,"
says C:—'" Dear Tom,—Your poor uncle Las died sud-
denly. Ho named you as his heir. Come up instantly,
or tr at old woman will make away with everything in
tie house.'" " And I," says E, "am to a surgeon of
Bartholomew's, new in the country, begging him to come
up instantly, as the danger is imminent, and a patient's
only chance is an operation." Saint Martin-lc-Grand
says, that such news as that above instanced won't keep,
and osoiht cot to be kept even on Sunday; and we would
take the word of bt. Martin against that of St. Ashlsy,
or St. Plomptre.

HER MAJESTY'S THEATRE.

The eighth repre!entation of La Tempesta took
place on TUesday evening ; the house was again
crowded in every part, and the furore excited by its
performance was as intense as ever. Madame Sontag
was in exquisite voice, and sang the music deli-
ciously. In her rendering of her "aria d'intrata" on
Tuesday night she surpassed herself ; never has such
exquisite delicacy of execution been displayed
as she displayed on that occasion ; her
concluding cadenza was the most wonderful, and
at the same time roost delicate and most perfect
piece of florid execution ever attempted, and excited
rapturous applause and an unanimous encore. Car-
lotta Grisi, as Ariel, was the most fascinating of
sylphs. We have heard it objected to Scribe that he
has made the part of Ariel a dancing instead of a
singing part, as it is in Shskspere. With all due
deference to these hypercritics we contend that
Scribe is right, and is more Shaksperian in his
treatment of that subject than are his would-be
critics ; Ariel is a light and airy spirit, and
Shakespere- evidently intended to draw a marked
distinction between the sylph Ariel and the human
beings of the drama, such a distinction as should at
once mark that Ariel was of a distinct and different
nature from that of the beings by which he is sur-
rounded. This distinction Shakespere has marked
by making Ariel sing whilst all the other characters
speak ; but in opera, where all the characters sing, it
became necessary, in order to preserve this distinction
between Ariel and the human actors in the drama,
that Ariel should not sing, and therefore has M. Scribe
acted most judiciously, and in a true Shaksperian
spirit, in nicking the part of Arial a mute pantomimic
part. With such a poetess (for that is the proper
title to apply to her) as Carlotta Grisi the part of
Ariel is infinitely more effective than it could
have been rendered by the utterance of
any articulate sound. Her expressive gestures and
her graceful abandon are far more effectively
eloquent than would be any uttered language. La-
blache, magnificent Lablache, was as Caliban "great,
glorious and free ;" his dancing is of its sort as won-
derful as that of Carlotta, and Parodi was as usual
encored in the Brindisi. The choruses were beau-
tifully rendered, and the performance of the or-
chestra was perfect. La Tempesta is to be repeated
to-night, and on Saturday Bellini's 1 .11Iontecchi ed
I Capuletti is to be produced for, the rentree of
Gardoni.

lIANTS.

MARWELL HALL, one of the 7.lstinguished and most desirable
seats of the county (possessing con,iderable historical interest),
in the fine healthy and sporting district between Winchester and
Bishop's Waltham, and only tour miles from the Bishopstoke
Station Also a smaller Reellence, known as Marwell Lodge.
MESSIt:-.1.. DANIEL SMITH kind SON will
submit to PUBLIC SALE, in AnciTsr next, in three or
four lots (unless an acceptable offer shall be previously made by pri-
vate treaty, and which will be entertained for the entire property,
or for the house and a portion of the lands).
The above most desirable ES CATE, comprising a capital and
handsome mansion, erected on the site of the old hall of " Mere-
welie" (of which some curious relics have been preserved in the
new house), with the demesne land and valuable terms, It is
in the OW English or Tudor style, and contains lofty rooms
and halls of noble dimensions. It presents a handsome elevation,
opening to an expansive lawn and grass terrace, extending to
some Wooded grounds of a primitive wild character, and affording
delightful seclusion. It was here (whenithe property of her family)
that Henry VIII. wedded Jane Seymour; and it was also vi-
sited by Charles If. more than once. The house is in
perfect repair, and the interior is admirably arranged. The
domestic offices are very complete, and there are walled gardens
and orchards, and ample stabling and other outbuildings for a good
establishment ; but, compared with the influential character and
superior accommodation of the mans on, it is a place of small
expense. The whole property embraces about 800 acres, all in
high order, with suitable farmhouses and. homesteads, and an
extensive right over the adjoining gowns ; but the tenure being
chiefly it asehold under Corpus Christi College, or copyhold, the im-
mediate purchase money, com ared with the extent, wil be an easy
investment. It is in the picturesque parish of Owlesbury, within
six miles of Winchester, within easy reach of three packs of hounds,
and is well stocked with game.
Partic lam with plans will be published in due time, but, In the
interim orders to view the estate and full information may be ob-
tained on application to Messrs. Clowes, Wedlake, and Selwyn, so-
licitors, 10. King's Bench-walk, Temple; and of Messrs. Daniel
Smith and Son, Land Agents, Waterloo-piece, Pall-mall, London.

ATROCIOUS ASSAULT

UPON

HER MAJESTY.
(THIS EVENING.)

This evening, at a quarter-past six, as her Ma-
jesty was leaving Cambridge House, accompanied
by a lady in waiting and three children, a tall
gentlemanly-dressed man, about 26 years old, aimed
a violent blow at her Majesty's head with a bludgeon,
by which her bonnet was removed. The villain was
instantly seized by the police, but not before he re-
ceived summary and severe punishment from the
hands of the infuriated populace, who surrounded the
carriage and witnessed the assault.
The miscreant is well known at the West End,
and is considered insane.

Her Mbjebty, we rejoice to say, was but slightly

injured.
