The pul4lic Ball for the relief of the distressed
Polish exiles is announced to take place this evening,
at Guildhall ; and as it will be conducted on a most
splendid scale, and the cause is one of charity, we
cannot doubt that it will be fully and fashionably
attended.

THE Pomsu BALL.— Yesterday a numerous
meeting of the Committee for conducting the Polish
ball took place at the Guildhall, Deputy Peacock in the
chair. Lord Dudley Stuart stated that the applications
for tickets were very great, and the strongest hopes
were entertained that the ball would be more than
usnally productive. No trouble or expense would be
spared to make the whole of the entertainments worthy
of the occasion, and a larger number of people of high
rank would attend than had been ever known to assemble
at their annual meeting for the assistance of the un-
fortunate Poles. The inconvenience arising from the
dust produced by the chalking of the floor will be com-
pletely obviated by the new system introduced for this
occasion. While the Committee was sitting, many
applications were made for tickets, amongst which were
applications from the French Ambassador and his lady,
the Earl and Countess of Errol, the Ladies Fitzcla-
rence, &c., &c. _ _ .

WELSH MAIITYRS.—A public meeting to
memorialise her Majesty to grant a free pardon to those
unfortunate men, Frost, Williams, and Jones, is con-
vened for this evening, at the Hall, Turnagain-lane,
Skinner-street, Snow-hill. T. S. Dunconabe, Esq., M.P.,
who has recently placed a vast number of memorials in Sir
J. Graham's hands for the same merciful purpose, has
been invited to take the chair on the occasion.

THE ODIOUS GAME MANlA.—lnstances, almost
innumerable, have taken place, where poor men, because
they had been once or twice convicted under the game-
laws (and in many instances illegally), have been fined,
under the general Game Act, 51. for killing, or attempt-
ing to kill a head of game ; 20/, under one of the
Assessed Taxes Acts, for not having a certificate ;
and surcharged under another Assessed Taxes Act, for
double game certificate duty. Of course they were not
able to pay these cumulative penalties and costs, and
long imprisonment (as it would be for all the charges),
has been the consequence ; heavy expense to counties,
and also to parishes. The game-preserving has become
a curse—the game-laws a foul instrument of injustice
and oppression—a grievous cost to the public—the foun-
tain of crime and attendant misery—and a premium to
perjury by keepers and their understrappers.—From
a Correspondent.

THE NEW ROYAL EXCHANGE.—On Saturday a
number of workmen in the employment of Mr. Jackson,
the builder, were actively engaged in erecting scaffold-
ings on the north side of the Royal Exchange, opposite
St. Bartholomew-lane, preparatory to the statues of Sir
Thomas Gresham and Whittington being placed in the
niches over the shops in that portion of the building.
The tessellated paving laid down by Messrs. Seeger, of
Vauxhall, was also finally removed in the course of the
day ; and although it presented such a magnificent ap-
pearance in the merchants' area on the occasion of her
Majesty opening the Exchange, it had a sad ginger-
bread like look as it lay in the carts destined to carry

it away.
A report has reached us, from what we consider
to be an authentic quarter, that the cavalry regiments
stationed in North Britain and Ireland are to discontinue
sending parties to the riding establishment at Maid-
stone, during the winter season. If this arrangement
be carried into effect, the number of riders at the esta-
blishment will be reduced from four to three.—United
Service Gazette.
KETNSIIANI.--CRIME AND PROPORTIONATE Pu..
NISHMENT.—A Correspondent forwards us the following:
• At the late Petty Sessions held here, Joseph Cobb,
for striking Miss Neale with a stone and hurting her so
much that she was under medical treatment for a week,
was fined los. ; at the same time and place, Thomas
Sidcombe, for shoDting at a covey of partridges (it was
not asserted that he rutlied a feather), was fined 101.
Costs to the amount of 10s. were inflicted on Miss
Neale."— [Our Correspondent would have made his
communication more complete had he added the names
of the gallant and game-loving magistrates who passed
the two sentences.]—Somerset County Gazette.
PORT or Hur.L.—The blue flag of the Humber
Dock Basin, the signal that no more vessels can be ad-
mitted into docks, has peen flying for the last fortnight.
The docks and warehouses have exhibited a scene of nn-
usual activity and animation during the last few days.
The exportation of machinery for the manufactories of
our continental rivals is now immense, and has been
weekly on the increase since the order in council lega-
lizing the export of machinery. The legal quays are
almost impassable from the quantity of bale goods which
continuo to arrive from Manchester, Leeds, and the
manufacturing districts, for the continent.—Leeds Times.

MONEY AND COMMERCIAL NEW S

Not the slightest alteration occurred in the English
Stocks this afternoon. Consols were 1001 for Money
and Time. East India Bonds rallied to 80 premium.
Spanish Skiok was 234 to 24 for the Five per Cents.,
and 354 1 for the Three per Cents. Portuguese Con-
verted were 53 to 54 ; Mexican Bonds realised 354 to
36 ; Colombian were 134 ; Dutch Five per Cents. were
99 to 994.

The sales of Cotton at Liverpool, on Saturday, were
3,000 to 4,000 bales, with a quiet market, and no altera-
tion to notice in prices.—The Share market was less
active for the scrip of the new Railways, but there was a
steady and improving demand for shares in the old line.

A strong desire has been manifested by most of the
principal merchants connected with the China and East
India trades to give a bsnquet, upon a most splendid
scale, to Sir Henry Pottinger, for his successful exertions
in carrying out the commercial tariff with the Chinese
Government. The complimentary address has
already been signed by a numerous body of the
merchants connected with the trades above referred
to, and it will remain at the offices of the East India
and China Trades Association for the reception of other
signatures. No doubt most of her Majesty's Ministers
would be present upon so interesting an occasion. Invi-
tations have, we believe, been already sent to them—of
the principal merchants and bankers of the City, the at-
tendance must be very numerous.
We have not any late arrivals from the British
colonies this morning.
The betting upon the hop duty this year has been
very large. The yield of the following districts are those
upon which wagers of this sort are made:—Canterbury's
return is 21,1581. 15s. 84d.•, Rochester, 62,4061. 19s. Id.;
Sussex, 27,3021. 15s. 81(1.; Worcester, 17,409 L 65.;
Farnham, 10,0791. 18s. 31d.; North Clays, 7661. Bs. 11d.:
Essex, 801/. 11s. 41d.; Others, 379/. 2s. 11d.—Total,
140,322/. 17s. 21d. Those who have betted in favour of
the gross amount of duty have been this year succesful.
A very strong competition is, we hear, likely to take
place for the new French loan of about 8,000,0001., to
be bid for on the 9th proximo. It is probable that the
contest will be principally between the Messrs. Roths-
child and Messrs. Laffitte and Co. In monetary circles
much interest is shown to learn the result. Messrs.
Barings, too, will be vigorous claimants for the loan ;
and as the payments are to extend over a long period,
there will be ample time to complete the contract with-
out pressing heavily on the money markets here or in
Paris.

In the Consol Market there has not been a great deal
of business done this morning. The transactions for the
January Account have been numerous, but the conts:hgo
is very nearly 4 per cent. The price, for Money, this
day, has been 100+ to 100 i; and for the Account at
100 i. The Commissioners bought Reduced Three per
Cents. at 99i. The present price is 991. The New
Three-and-a Quarter per Cents. have realised 102 to
102 k. Exchequer Bills 575. 9d. premium, and Bank
Stock 205.

The Belgian Scrip is firm at I premium; Dutch Two-
and-a-Half per Cents. at 624 j; the Five per Cents. at
99; Russian at 1191; and Spanish Three per Cents. at
35- for the Account. Brazilian Bonds have been firm
at 88 to 89.
The Share Market has been quiet this morning, and
prices are, in most instances, much the same.

SHOCKING DESTITUTION.—A few days ago a child
went to a baker to purchase hal.f, a pound of his most
common bread. The baker's wile, on questioning the
child, ascertained that the bread was destined for a poor
woman who had not even straw to lie upon. The baker
and his wife, and their ,journeyman, went to the spot
indicated by the child, and there round, in a damp cellar,
a woman, with no other covering than a piece of coarse
cloth round her loins, the damp ground for her bed, and
two stones for her pillow. This unhappy woman earned
only three to four sous per day by lace-making, and hip
no other menus of support, yet she belongs to one of the
most noble families of Normandy. The baker and his
wife made an appeal to some neighbours, who joined
them in the work of charity, and provided clothing for
the sufferer, and a chair to sit upon. The baker's man
purchased a quantity of straw for abed, which, under the
circumstances, was almost a luxury.—Pilote de Caen.

CORNWALL and DEVON CENTRAL
RAILWAY, AND BRISTOL AND EXE-
TER RAILWAY COMPANY.

TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN.
Six,—An advertisement appearEd in the Tinto of
the 16th inst., headed " Bristol and Exeter Railway
Company ;" which is authenticated by the signature of
the Secretary, Mr. Badham, and is in the following
words :
" In consequence of statements which hare been made
at public meetings in the county of Cornwall, and else-
where, and in some of the newspapers, that the • Chair-
man of the Bristol Railway Company, Frederick Ricketts,
Esq , has given his personal support to the Central Corn-
wall Railway, in opposition to the Cornwall Railway
from Plymouth to Falmouth (which latter line has:the
undivided support of the Bristol and Exeter, the Great
Western, the Bristol and Gloucester, and the South De-
von Companies, of all of which he is a Director), and that
the banking firm in Cornwall, of which Mr. Ricketts is
the head, has engaged to make a large advance of moll
to the central line, I am directed to publish the two fol'
lowing letters, by which it will be seen that those state-
ments were altogether unauthorised by Mr. Ricketts,
and that he continues to be Chairman of the Bristol and
Exeter Company.

"By order of the Directors,
" J. B. BADHAM, Secretary.
"Bristol Office, 30, Broad-street,
November 13, 1844."
Having been present at, and taken part in, most of
the public meetings held in Cornwall on the question
of the Central Railway, and having attended as a de;
putation the meetings held " elsewhere"—namely, 3;
Bideford and Exeter—l can give the most unqualifiT,
contradiction to the assertion that at such meetings "
was stated that " Frederick Ricketts, Esq., had given
his personal support to the Central Cornwall Railvisif
in opposition to the Cornwall Railway from PY.:
mouth to Falmouth ;" for on every such occasion 1":
was distinctly a.nnounced that I\l r. Ricketts was in If
way connected with the Central Railway, althoulsr
his partners in the bank in Cornwall, Messrs. Turtle
Enthoven, Mason, and James,
:verc all members
the Provisional Committee. This I
.iave repestel
affirmed, and the same statement' as invat.:2l)lY bees„ye
made by the other gentlemen with whom 1-
been associated in this undertaking; so "1"
therefore, from such representations having been
made as alleged, pains have been taken L'to
prevent an erroneous impression to which tv;
connexion of the parties might otherwise have kw
At the great and influential meeting held at Exeter°
on the 2d inst., which I had the honour of addressing'
there were present the representatives of three of that
associated companies—Mr. Saunders, the secretary °f
the Great Western; Mr. Badham, the secretary °
the Bristol and Exeter ; and Mr. Princeps, the scare
tary of the South Devon Railway—besides Director/
and Shareholders in some or all of these companies.
I ask these gentlemen whether, on that occasions
was asserted that " Mr. Ricketts had given his
sonal support to the Central Cornwall Railways' .ea
whether that gentleman was not expressly excepte
from all connexion with it ? I appeal to the rel
porters, and to every gentleman present at th 6,,
meeting, for confirmation to the contradiction wine':
I give to such a statement. I distinctly remember
saying at that meeting—" Gentlemen, if I mis-star
any fact, correct me." Did Mr. Saunders, Mr. Bs':
ham, or Mr. Princeps, venture to question ansY
representation of mine ? Had I made such a star
ment as is insinuated in the advertisement signed by
Mr. Badham, could that gentleman have peernitt
himself to become an acquiescing party by remain'
ing silent? The publication of the advertisement lo
question furnishes evidence of the peculiar means 11"
sorted to to serve a temporary purpose, and to 001"
indirectly, the character of a most honourable roan'
merely because his partners in a banking compansY
venture to act upon their own judgments, and !'°
identify themselves with an undertaking calculated 'e
benefit that county, in the prosperity of which the,f
had become deeply interested. of
With respect to the offer by them of a slum. 4
money towards the construction of the Cent's
Railway, I apprehend Mr. Turner's statement "e
Truro will be found sufficiently explicit, and that the
advertisement can hardly be expected to oblitora °
a fact.
I would suggest to the Great Western Comps%
the propriety of consulting the county of Cornwall.°,
the subject of a Cornish Railway, instead of deludts°ol
themselves into the belief that, against the exPres of
determination of that county, united as it is in fit,
of a central line, they can succeed in carrying out to
coast line, a project calculated to be beneficial only d
the private interests of associated companies/
obviously detrimental to the public good.
I am, Sir, your obedient servant, ,
