TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN.

Sllt,—To those who know that I have had something
to do with the Court Gazette, and yet know not what, I
beg to state that since three months ago I have been
assisting the publisher in the advertisement department,
quite unknown to the editors and proprietors of what
country I was ; the employment, having no connexion
whatever with the press, I undertook upon the ground
of the sympathy which that paper showed sometimes to
the cause of Poland. The article published on the Sa-
turday before last, on account of the arrival of the Em-
peror of Russia, bears quite a different character, being
written entirely in prejudice to the Poles. However,
though the account might be differently viewed by many,
yet what belongs individually to me, the circumstance is
sufficient to interdict me anything whatever to have to
do in the abOve office, and to resign the employment di-
rectly. Having done so, I hope you will appreciate my
motives, and therefore not refuse to allow publicity to
my present statement through the medium of your co-
lumns.—l am, Sir, your obedient servant,
June 14, 1844. FERDINAND BIELINSKI.

DEATH or, VIE HON. ARTHUR H. COLE.—The
Lord Lieutenant of Ireland and Countess De Grey, Earl and
Countess Enniskillen, Earl and Countess Cowper, Mr. and
Lady Mary Vyner, Mr. and 'Lady Florence Balfour, Lady
Frances Cole, and several other families of rank are placed in
mourning by the demise of the Hon. Arthur 11. Cole, who ex-
pired on Sunday morning, at an early hour, at his residence in
Manchester-square, after a protracted indisposition. The
deceaSed, who was the fourth son of the late Earl- of Ennis-
killen, was born June 28,1780, and was unmarried. He re-
presented Enniskillen for a long series of years, having sat
for that borough in seven parliaments and up to the last
month was strict in attention to his duties in the House of
Commons, when he resigned his seat from his increasing ill-
health in favour of his nephew the Hon. Capt. H. A. Cole.
TEN BULLOCKS KILLED ON THE MIDLAND RAIL-
WAY.—A drove of bullocks had strayed on the Birmingham
portion of the Midland line of railway, on Friday night, the
Bth instant, when the mail train, which leaves Birmingham
soon after, twelve at night, ran amongst them, and killed
three of their number. Just before this accident occurred, an
engine and tender passed the drove en route to Birmingham,
and presently meeting the mail train referred to, the driver
became apprehensive that mischief might arise on the mail
train coming up to the spot where the beasts were assembled,
put back his engine to see the result, and be ready to afford
assistance, when, unluckily, his own tender ran into the
drove with a tremendous crash, killing seven more of the
straying animals. A cow,was killed on Monday evening last,
on the Midland line near to Loughborough.—Lincoln Mercury.
Yesterday, between the hours of one and two
o'clock, the neighbourhood was thrown into a state of alarm,
in consequence of a young man of the name of Markam, a
drayman, in the employ of Messrs. Coombe and Delafield, the
well known brewers, having precipitated himself from the
attic window of the Coach and Horses public-house, in
Charles-street ; a female passing at the time witnessed the dread-
ful event, and immediately gave the alarm to the policeman
duty, 'who conveyed the unfortunate man, to King's 04-
lege Hospital, but he expired ere he arrived there. Nacause
can be assigned for the rash act ; he quitted the bar with the
intention, of retiring to rest, and was perfectly sober.
