TO THE EDITOR OF.

THE SUN.

Sim,—l have observed a statement in your valuable paper,
showing that Great Grimsby, when the Sheffield and
Grimsby Railway is completed, will be a much cheaper port
than Hull for the great manufacturing districts of Yorkshire,
Lancashire, Derbyshire, Staffordshi re,Nottinghamsh ire. &c.—
all very useful information for railway speculators. But I
wish to draw the attention of the Government to the future
importance of Grimsby as a naval station. When its pro-
jected dock is made, it will be accessible at all times of the
tide for the largest steamers, and therefore must become the
great packet station for Holland, Germany, and the north of
Europe, in despite of the political jobbing, which may cause
Government predilection for less suitable ports ; especially
when we consider that Grimsby by railway will be brought
much nearer to London (as regards time) than the mouth of
the Thames. In the event of war it is clear that

AGRARIAN MURDER IN PERMANAGIL—About ten
o'clock on Sunday night a young man named William Graig
was shot dead in his father's house, at Killyfurt, in this
county (Fermanagh), about four miles from the Hely Well
police station, in the mountain between the Blacklion and
Garrison. A man named Leonard had been ejected from
these lands for non-payment of rent, and the father of the
deceased redeemed the holding, and sent his son, his only
child, to the house for a few days before his own removal to
it, when at the time above-mentioned, a shot was fired at
him through the window as he was going to bed. The ball
entered his left side and came out at his right, causing in-
stant death. An inquest was held on the body on Tuesday.
when the jury returned a verdict of " Wilful murder against
