FOR 'ri-ii SUN.

Air. EDITOR—It seems to be evident that a
hoax, as the slang of Iberia!, is, has been practised
on the. Public in a Letter with the signature_ of
Mr. I 1 BAN, which your Correspondent CANDIDUs*
seems by solid reasoning, to have proved to be
really a hoax. But why should CANDIDUS sup-
pose that the Editor of the Sunday Paper bas been
concerned in this hoax, for the purpose of attract-
ing Public attention ? It is probable, that he also
was hoaxed, arid it is probable, that on Sunday
next he will insert a denial of an inll,loSitiOn, Si)
injurious to the popular Actor of the day.

OLD DUBIOUS.
* We hare had so many applications for the Letter of
CANDI s, in our Paper of yesterday, that we have republished
it in our fourth Page this day.

The late Mr. SMITH, of Bury St. Edmunds,
"us, it seems, not a Student at Oxford, but of
St. John's College, Cambridge. He left particu-
lar orders that his funeral might be most private,
and not a stone be placed to tell where he lies.—
The awbor of the ENTArit which appeared in
this Paper of Saturday last, and which, ttout re-
spect to the depsrted Gentleman, was copied into
The 'Worming Post and British Press, was fully
aware of the delicacy of the deceased, but could
not deny himself the melancholy giatification of
paying a tribute to the memory of his talents, and
the merits of his character.

Advices were received yesterday-front Nlcssina,
of I Ith Sept., which state, that at six o'clock in
the evening of the lith ult., a smart shock of an
eßttlignake was felt there, but fortunately did nut
do any mischief.

Pt ince LEOPOLD is now on a visit at Went•

FyrZWILLIAM.

Whatert.r obi; ctions may be raised against the
taste and architecture of the houses in Regent-
Street, opposite Carlton-house, none can be urged
against the structure forming the apparent (et-
minat ion of the street in Piccadilly. The symmetry
and beauty of the front elevation of the County
Fite Office is generally acknowledged : it ought
not to be concealed by ruins and rubbish, yet
%%kb these the street in front of it continues to
he cloaked up, so that the house is only aeccssi-
ble from a street in the ri.orr.

Ctiptain It JONRs, of the 67th Regiment,
eldest son of PHILLIP JONES, EST of Cleeve, near
Ross, was unfortunately drowned on Saturday
last in crossing tie river Wye, at Setback Ford,
on his return home from Pouistone, the seat of
his uncle. The cut rent being very strong, his
horse by its force was complete:y nverturned
when near the shore, by which the Captain r.•-
ceived a blow on the head which zttinned
or• he would have easily reached the hind, being
