TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN.

Stn,2-iot;;ilTmich oblige by acquainting me ►whether
there is any law in existence that persons landing at
Dover from the Continent should pay the sum of five
shillings for a document called a certificate ; becduse
two gentlemen of my acquaintance were charged that
sum on the 29th of September, and upon their refusing
to pay, were informed that until they paid the amount,
they should not have their luggage.
Oct. 11, 1544. A CONSTANT READER.
[We have never heard before of such a charge being
made at Dover, or any other port in England. The
parties should memorialise the Commissioners of Cus-
toms on the subject, who possibly know as little of this
apparent xtortion as they did of the enormous robberies
in their d 4 partment.—ED. Sun.]

DEATH OF THE DUCHESS OF MARLBOROUGH.—
NV:! regret to have to announce the decease of the
Duchess of Marlborough, at Blenheim Palace, on Satur-
day last. Her Grace had only returned home the pre-
ceding evening from a lengthened visit to her sister,
Lady Feversham, in Yorkshire. Her Grace is known to
have been long in a feeble st ite of health, but not the
slightest apprehension was entertained by her medical
adviser of her being quite equal to the journey. A
sudden and unexpected change occurred on the Saturday.
Dr. Wootton, of Oxford, was immediately called in, but
her Grace expired in the presence of the Duke and Lady
Louisa Churchill the same evening. This inekricholy
and unlocked for event has placed the whole of her
Grace's family in the deepest affliction. Her Grace,
who was born on the 29th March, 179 i, was eldest
daughter of George, eighth Earl of Galloway, and was
married to the present Duke on the 11th of Jan., 1819.
CATASTROPHE AT HASWELL COAL-PlT.—The Lon-
don public may be considered ai the cause of this
lamentable occurrence. Why ? Because they are so
eager to purchase coals, that they raise the price, and
induce the pit-owners to work their pits on the double-
shift system, a second set of men entering the pit before
the first is out, leaving no time for a due examination.
it is notorious that coals of late years are cheaper in De-
cember than in June, and dearer in October than in any
month of the year. Yet in this month are there twice as
many orders given as in any other month, and at its
close coals always decline. The last week in November
they are lower than the first, and the close of the year
finds them cheaper than during the previous three months.
(There. are 927 ships in the coal trade, being nearly
doubfe-what are required as an average number.)
QUICX PASSAGE.—The Lady Milton, at Liverpool,
from Quebec, made the passage out to, and from Quebce
home, in -sixty-three days.
THE QUEEN'S TOBACCO PIPE.—At the Custom-
house, daniaged tobacco, on which it would not be worth
while to pay the high import duty, is consumed near the
bonded warehouses in A furnace, the tall chimney of
which is familiarly known as.the "Queen's tobaoco pipes"

THE RATAN AFFAIR.

The Stewards have, wo understand, appointed to-
morrow morning, at nine o'clock, for entering upon the
investigation of the supposed malpractices in the case of
the late Mr. Crookford's horse Ratan, of which all
parties have received notice. The parties stated to be
implicated are Sam Rogers, the jockey by whom the
horse was ridden (being trained in-his father's stable), a
person of the name of Braham, a friend of Sam Rogers's,
residing at Newmarket, and certain professional betting
men, who laid against the horse to a large amount.
There are various contradictory stories afloat, which
it would be premature to publish. Sam Rogers's first
voluntary statement to Mr. Crockford, junior, and Lord
George Bentinck was, that he had beta induced by
strong solicitations to bet against the horse with the
view of securing his defeat, but with the full inten-
tion of riding honestly, and frustrating the views
of his seducers ; declaring, at the same time,
he never meant to receive the proffered bribe. It was
subsequently discovered, however, that he did not
adhere to his pledge not to receive any portion of the
proceeds of defeat, but actually pocketed 1,6601. This
created just suspicions of his honesty and veracity, and
he was suspended from riding for the Duke of Richmond
and Lord G. Bentinek ; and the latter nobleman,.pur-
suing his inquiries, learnt that Braham had been the
agent by whom bets were laid against the horse, as he
said, at Sam Rogers's suggestion, from a belief on the
part of the latter that the horse could not win the Derby
—and it was further alleged that this course was
merely prompted by a desire on his part to hedge to the
large sum he was sure of winning if the horse should
win. Braham, it would seem, played his own game, and
laid against the horse on his own account, and employed
certain commissioners to carry out his views. Rogers
subsequently discovered that the horse improved, and
was better than he anticipated, and, repenting of what
he had done, he employed other commissioners to back
the horse, thus putting one set of agents to operate against
the movements of the others. In this way lie involved
himself in a maze 2f.difficulties, and, like all wrong-doers,
had recourse to falsehood to cover his delinquencies.
His conduct throughout will, of course, form one portion
of the proposed investigation, and then will come the
important question, whether temptation was held out to
him to betray his trust, or whether the betting against
the horse was not the suggestion of his own mind, influ-
enced, in some measure, by his friend Braham. Of
course, if any class of betting men did hold out pecuniary
temptation to him to act dishonestly towards his em-
ployer, their conduct admits of but one construction;
but if, on the contrary, it shall appear they were sent
have
and employed by him, however unjustifiable it. may

DR. WOLFF.

We publish the following from authority. Letters
have been received from Dr. Wolff, dated Bokhara,
June 27 and August 1. Their contents exhibit the
same magnanimous self•devotion, but they stand in
melancholy contrast with those idle reports which
have appeared lately in the papers, and which, what-
ever may be the motives of those who employ them-
selves in originating them, can answer no other end
than mystifying and misleading the public on this
very grave affair.
In his letter of the 27th, the Rev. Doctor says, " I
have now been already two months in this place, and,
though five or six times the King has promised to
send me instantly to England with one of his ambas-
sadors, lam in the greatest danger. I cannot stir
out of the house without a guard of three men. Dil
Kassa Khan, the fellow sent with me by the Assoff
Addaula, has shamefully robbed, deceived, and out-
raged me. The Persian Ambassador, Abbas Kolle
Khan, is kind to me, but I think he will not have it
in his power to rescue me. Nayeb Abdool Samet
Khan has extorted from me a writing to pay him five
thousand tomans to effect my liberation. I suspect
him that he was the cause of Stoddart's and Conolly's
death, in spite of his continued protestations of
friendship.
" The Ameer is now at Samarcand, and I am here
awaiting the most fatal orders from the King daily to
reach me. It is true that poor Stoddart professed
openly Christianity after he had made a forced pro-
fession of Mahommedanism. Do for me what you
can, as far as the honour of England is not compro-
mised. All the inhabitants wish that either Russia
or England would take the country. Do not believe
any former reports of my speedy departure, for I am
in great danger.
." JOSEPH WOLFF."
" TO ALL THE MONARCHS OF EUROPE.

Bol:hara, Aug. 1, 1844.

" Sires ! I set out for Bokh to ransom the
lives of two officers, Stoddart and Conolly, but both
of them were murdered many months previous to my
departure, and I do not know whether or not this
blood of mine shall be spilt. Id 3 not supplicate for
my own safety ; but, Monarchs ! two hundred thou-
sand Persian slaves, many of them people of high
talent, sigh in the kingdom of Bokhara! Endeavour
to affect their liberation, and I shall rejoice in the
grave that my blood has been the cause of the ransom
of so many human beings ! lam too much agitated,
and watched, besides, to he able to write more.

" The various positions of Lover, Husband, and Parent, the in-
herent privileges of mankind, are frequently marred and prevented
through the follies and frailties of early indiscretions. To such,
among others, this Essay addresses itself; and by its perusal many
questions may be satisfactorily adjusted that admit of no appeal even
to the most confidential friend."—Staffi3rd Gazette. _ _

" The design of this work will be tolerably obvious from its title,
and we cordially recommend the author and his book to all who are
coffering from nervous debility and general Weakness."—Wakefield

CHEAP LIGHT.
A FDWARD PRICE and CO., Patentees and Sole
Manufacturers of the COMPOSITE CANDLES, respectfully
call '..ne attention of the Public to the fact, that, although the price of
these is somewhat higher than that of ordinary mould Candles, they
are in reality much cheaper than these latter; one real Composite
Candle giving about the same quantity of light at three of the moulds.
They require no snuffing, and burn more brilliantly than the best
wax. The purposes of economy and luxury are therefore both served
at the same time by the use of these Candles. Parties Intending to
try them for the flrst time, are earnestly requested to take care that
they are served in the shops with " PRICE'S PATENT CANDLES:"
the reason for this caution is given elsewhere.

They are sold by most of the respectable tallow chandlers through-
out the kingdom, and wholesale to the trade by Edward Price and
Co., Belmont, Vauxhall; and by Palmer and Co., Sutton-street,
Clerkenwell.

The American comedian, Mr. Marble, the best
representative of the Jonathanisms of his country-
men, still continues to attract attention at this theatre,
and every night appears to obtain flesh honours for
him. The spirited proprietor has played his cards to
some advantage in obtaining and retaining the services
of so excellent a performer, and it shows an increased
anxiety on his part to please the English public.
That anxiety was displayed again last night,
when a new piece was brought forward, en-
titled Henri de Rochemaine, which gives you some
little insight into the scenes that took place during
the French Revolution. In this piece Mr. lioberts,
the lessee of the theatre, sustained the principal cha-
racter of Henri de Rochemaine with great effect, and
Mrs. Montgomerie excelled herself in the character
of Hortense de Bois Robert. The piece was eminently
successful, and was announced for repetition b 7 Mr.
Roberts amid great applause. The evening s en-
tertainments commenced with the amusing come-
dietta of Jonathan in England, a new version
of the old farce of Who Wants a Guinea. In th's
piece Marble kept the house in roar 3 as Jo-
nathan Swap, and Halls, as Andrew Bang, made our
sides ache with laughter. The evening's amusement
concluded with the new farce of Yankee Land, in
which the Lop Sap Sago of Marble created many a
hearty laugh, and the audience (we are happy to say a
numerous one) quitted the theatre apparently highly
delighted with their evening's amusement. IVe per-
ceive, by the bills, that the enterprising lessee has a
new treat for the public on Monday next in a piece
entitled Don Caesar de Bazan. With such perse-
verance as Mr. Roberts has shown, he cannot fail to
make his project answer.

ADE L PHI.

A new piece—new at least at the Adelphi—was
brought out at that theatre last night. It is a
drama in three acts, and is called Don Cesar de
Bazan. It is the same in plot with that which was
produced last week at the Princess's, and both are,
we believe, adaptations from the French. As the
piece has -not been enacted for the first time at the
Adelphi, and as the plot has been before described, it
become, unnecessary to repeat it now. We shall, there-
fore, confine ourselves to the mode in which the piece
was • bror.ght forward, and the manner in which the
principal characters were filled. The hero of the
piece was the character assigned to Mr. Web-
ster, who, fur the first time, made his ap-
pearance in • character at this theatre last
night, and the part of Don Caesar could not have
been entrusted to abler or better hands. Whether as
the !lisiolute and gambling Count of Garofa, with
nothing but his title, his good-nature and his reek-
lessm-zs of danger left him, or as the indignant hus-
ban.flwho reproves the dishonourable course of his austere
anti sensual king, he performed his part segno per
segno, and left nothing to be wished for. The piece
is full of salient points, and Mr. Webster made them
tell upon the audience with the happiest effect.
We would instance, in particular, the scene in
the Marchioness of Alontepornpas (Miss Brooks),
