TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN.

Spring Gardens, July.2s, 1817.
MR. Eptron,—Having seen in your and several
other Papers this (lay, a very inaccurate statcnu"t
of an investigation which yestcrby took place, I
hulk it proper to transmit, to request you,
in vindication of my criminal., which has been so
ittljustifiably aspersed, to publish the following
copy of a Letter written by Mr. FARRANT, the
Magistrate who presided on the occasion to which
I have alluded, addressed to the Editor, anti de-
livered at the office of 'The Times, the Proprietors
of which Paper it is my determination to prose-
c„ie for the infamous and malignant calumny
which they have allowed to be inserted respect-
ing me.
I am, Sir, your obedient servant,
M. F. F. BERKELEY.
Copy .Letter from Mr. FARRANT, Magistrate of the Police
Office, Great Marlborough-street, to the Editor of The
Timus.

" Me. linyron,—Observing in your Paper of this date
(25th July), under the head of " Marlbro' Street," a report
particularly reflecting on Captain Berkeley, who appeared
before me, I think it right to inform you that the ac.:ount is
a roost gross and impudent falsehood : not. any circumstance
tianspired to cast the smallest reflection on Captain Berke-
ley's conduct on the occasion.
" I remain, your,humble.Serrant,
" Public Office, Great Marlbro"4 GEO. FAIMANT."
Street, 25th July, 1817.
" To the 'Editor of The Times newspaper.o

On the evening of Saturday se'nnight, AS two
elderly Ladies, residing in Caldevrgate,
(Mrs. Johnson and Miss Gibson, sisters), were
walking in the vicinity of that city, they were in-
terrupted by
some idle boys,' who had a ;log chain.
ed, and threatened to let it loose upon the unpro-
tected females, unless they gave them money. On
the Ladies refusing to submit to the extortion,
the clog was encouraged to make a spring at Mrs.
Johnson ; wir.n the suddenness of the aright in-
duced an apoplectic fit, that oceasioned'ber death
shortly alterwerds.

'Tis sweet, wh,en in the glowiog west
The `tin's br•ight wheds their course are leaving,
Upon the aznie Oceau's breastl
To watch the dark wave s:o‘v!y heaving.

And oh! at glitOpe of early morn, •
When holy maul;•+ their beads are telling,
'fis sweet to bear the huqter's horn
Front glen to mountain wildly swelling.

2111r1 it is sweet, ;It niid•day hour,
Beneath forest oqk reclining.
To i;eir the drivin tempests pour,
kaich sense t() fairy tfreanis resigning,.

sweet, where nodding rocks around
The nightshade dark is wildly wreathing,
listen to some solemn sound
From harp oi lyre divinely breathing.

And sweeter :•et the genuine glow
Of youthful Friendthip's high devotion,
Responsive to the voice of woe,
When heaves the heart with strong emotion.

And Youth is sweet with many a joy,
''hat frolic by in artless Measure;
And Age is sweet, with less
In tranquil thought and silent pleasure;

For He who gave the life we share,
With every charm His gift adorning,
Bade Eve her pearly dew drops wear,
And, dressed in smiles the blush of Morning.

*.A name
" Well known and honoured in old Bladud's realm."
