The Sun.
London, England, 1845-07-04 00:00:00

TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN.

SIR,—As your pages are never refused to the benefit of your
readers—as The Sun is valued by a large portion of the natives of
the Principality in London—you would obi ge one of the number
if you would insert the present letter to draw the attention of my
countrymen to the fact, that while every denomination of British
Christians in this metro .olis, except themselves, have for years pos-
sessed places of worship, where the set vice has been performed in
their own language, they alone, till the end of the year 1843, were
not allowed a chapel according to the established religion, with ser-
vice in their native tongue. And now that they have (through
the unremitting exertions of the Earl of Powis) obtained that pri-
vilege, it has been observed with astonishment that •he poor, little
patronage which the chapel in Ely-place affords is all bestowed on
the English. Surely there are English chapels enough in London
to employ pew-openers and organists without taking the " one ewe
lamb" of Wales, and giving it away from the natives. I need only
point out how the offices in the Welsh chapel in Ely-place are
filled, viz., by those who cannot even answer the native Welsh in
that language when they come there to attend divine service.
I am, Sir, your obedient servant,
A NATIVE OF WALES.

CONFLICT WITH THE POLICE.—We have heard that
on Wednesday evening last, as the Bohey party of police were
patrolling near Mohill, county Leitrim, they met a man whom they
arrested ; but on their return with him to the barracks, they were
met by six armed men, who attempted to rescue the prisoner. A
desperate conflict ensued, in which the police stabbed two of the
attacking party, and succeeded in making three of them prisoneri.--
