SAVARY AND CAPTAIN WRIGHT.

TO TUE EDITOR OF THE SUN.

Sia-In your Paper of Tuesday you gave an extract
from " Savary's Memoirs," respecting the late Capt. J. W.
Wright. Although little credit can be given to state-
ments from such authority, still you will oblige me by in-
serting in your Paper the following observations :
Savary says, Captain Wright was wrecked on the Coast
of Alorbihan. Capt. W.'s official letter, which has been
published, proves he was taken after a severe action ; and,
as no merit can accrue to myself, I hesitate not to assert
that (considering the disparity of force) a more deter-
mined and gallant defence was never made. Many
minutes previous to his surrender, on his asking my
opinion, 1 had pointed out the inutility of further resistance.
When he ordered the colours to be struck, I observed to
him, " Sir, knowing the treatment you are likely to ex-
perience,* pray avail yourself of the boat, and endeavour to
escape on board a cutter (then in company) ; I will endea-
vour to defend the wreck a few moments longer, to cover
you." Although Capt. W. was then suffering excruciating
pain from a severe wound, never shall I forget his expression
ofanger—" What, Sir, do you presume to say that you would
defend his Majesty's sloop longer than myself?" I ob-
served, from no other idea but that of insuring your escape. •
His ar,swer was, " No, no, those who know me would
acquit me, but I should be generally blamed ; I must share
the fate of my crew." And still this is the man that Savary
assorts committed suicide, because Mack basely capitulated
at Ulm. Savary states that Captain W. and all his crew
were ordered to Paris, where meeting George and hissubal-
terns in the Court of the Temple, the seamen frankly ac-
costed the latter as old acquaintance. The fact was, only
the Officers (of all ranks) were sent to Paris, and good care
was taken they should converse with no one in the Temple,
as they were taken there by night, and separately confined
in cells on bread and water for twenty-three days. I pre-
sume Gen. Savary has forgotten to remark that he paid
me two nocturnal visits during that period, and threatened
me with torture (to which I had been already dragged) and
starvation if I would not appear as evidence against my
gallant Commander. Those visits have made an indelible
impression on my memory.

Savary is correct in saying Capt. W. refused to answer
any question respecting the duty he was employed in,
or tho orders he had received ; considering himself (which
he undoubtedly was) a prisoner of war. Savary says, re-
gard was had to Captain W.'s devotedness and character.
How was that shown ? Was it in his experiencing every
deprivation and insult man could suffer, and ultimately
being murdered :'—for murdered he was, and Savary
knows it. Although he boasts of having been in Germany
when the bloody deed was executed, other wretches were
to be round in Paris besides the murderer of the Duke
d'Enghein, or the bungling savages who strangled poor
Pichegru. The pitiful remark respecting Buonaparte's
attaching so snuck importance to the destruction of
a scurvy Lieutenant of the British navy, only serves
to prove the malignity of Savary. After speaking of
Capt. W.'s devotedness of character, and repeatedly calling
him Captain, all at once, (to make him of less importance,
consequently less likely to attract the attention of 13uonaparte
and his myrmidons, who were at that moment on their
high horses), Capt. W. becomes a scurvy Lieutenant. 1 was
but a Lieutenant when in the Temple, still M. Savary was
pleased to visit me—God knows, not much to my satisfac-
tion. Sir Sidney Smith's minute aid satisfactory investi-
gation into this horrid affair has been already before the
public, and leaves Me little more to say. I leave Savary
and his Memoirs to the contempt they. merit.
.1. WALLIS, Capt. R.N.
At this period the French Press had been particularly
vindictive and threatening towards Capt. Wright.

HOP INTELLIGENCE.
WORCESTER, JULY 16.—The reports from our planta-
tihm are generally of the most favourable description ; but
in some places the cold nights have given the plant rather
a sickly appearance. Nothing is done in the market;
prices are quite nominal.

COSTELLOE, the man represented by father
GEOGHEGAK, to have died in 24 hours after voting for
Mr. VESEY FrrzcERALD, at Ennis, ha it appears collie
to life, and is now walking the country as well as ever.
Miracles have not ceased, at least in Clare.

The celebrated Dr. PALEY was so ardent a
follower of Iran); WALToN, that, on being asked by the
then Bishop of DURHAM when one of his most important
works would be finished, he replied, with great quaintness
and simplicity, " My Lord, I shall work steadily at it
when the fly-fishing season is over."

ST. KATHARINE'S DOCKS.----HIS Royal
Highness the Duke of CAMBRIDGE, accompanied by his
suite, Sir HERBERT TAYLOR, &C. &c. yesterday visited the
works in progress. The Duke was received at the en-
trance to the Dock-house, opposite to the Mint, by the
Chairman, Deputy Chairman, the Directors, awl the Se-
cretary. After having examined the plans of the works,
and partaken of some refreshment in one of the rooms of
the Dock-house, his Royal Highness proceeded to view the
works, and expressed much surprise at the extraordinary
progress which had been made, the first stone having been
laid only in the month of May last year ; and was pleased to
express his admiration, repeatedly, of the novel mode of
construction and convenient arrangement of the buildings,
vaults, and docks. His Royal Highness was particularly
struck with the novel plan which will be adopted by the Dock
Company, of supplying the entrance lock with water, by
means of steam engines of 160 horse-power, now erecting
by Messrs. Bourox, WATT, and Co., by which locks may
be constantly made during all periods of the tide, without
diminishing the watts- in the basin or docks, and vessels of
17 or 18 feet draught of water taken into dock upwards of
two hours after high water. The Duke was highly pleased
with the Lock, which is 195 feet in length, and 45 fee
wide, fitted with an interior pair of water gates, dividing
the chamber, by which a vessel of about 250 tons, after the
tide has fallen 13 feet, may be raised to a level with the
water in the basin and docks, in about seven minutes, and
a ship of from 400 to 500 tons raised to the same
in about fifteen minutes. At spring tides there willhelie
24 feet
depth of water, and at neap tidos there will
