The Sun.
London, England, 1845-07-03 00:00:00

TO THE EDITOR OF THE BUN.

Sta,—As youf pages ate never refused to the benefit of your
readers—as The Sun is i,altted by a large portion of the natives Of
the Principality in London—you would tibl,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 Dritish
Christians in this metropolis, except themselves, have for years pos-
sessed places of worship, where the service 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 pti.,
vilege, it has been observed with astonishment that the 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.

REPRESENTATION OF ROSS AND CROMARTY.—Refer-
ring to our notice, in the Third Edition of our Satur-
turday's paper, to the rumour of an expected vacancy
in the representation of Boss and Cromarty, and to the
letter from the present Han. Member for these counties,
in our paper of Monday, contradicting the report of his
having any intention of retiring, and which we there-
fore cannot doubt is unfounded, we beg to mention that

our notice of it was founded on information received from
the county and from Edinburgh ; and that we find
from the Ross -shire paper of last week, published before
the date of our notice, that the rumours alluded to were
prevalent there ; and that we know that in Edinburgh
it was stated, before our notice appeared, by parties who
might be supposed acquainted with the facts, that the
worthy and Hon. Baronet we referred to intended forth-
with publicly addressing the electors as a candidate on
the occurrence of a vacancy, either by the retirement of
the present Member, or a dissolution.
HAYMARKET THEATRE. Morton's admirable

comedy of A Cure for the Heat t Ache was performed
here on Tuesday night to the great delight of a crowded
house. There is no theatre in London at which it

would be possible to cast this comedy, except at the
Haymarket. Farren's Old Rapid is a personation so ad-
mirable, it defies any approach to imitation ; and the
young Rapid of Charles Mathews is as spirited and
effervescing as a glass of champagne. Buckstone's
Frank Oatland, although not equal to Webster's, is a
very worthy piece of acting ; and pretty Julia Bennett
is ihe most interesting Jessy Oatland that has appeared
on the stage in our remembrance. The comedy is to be
repeated to night, and will no doubt attract a crowded
house.

COWARDLY AND HEARTLESS HOAX.—It has seldom

or ever fallen to our lot to notice a more disgraceful trick than
was played upon two respectable young females of Colchester, by a
swain who has been notorious in several instances during his
residence there for having " two strings to his bow." He had,

however,contrived to get clear of all these advances under the pre-
tence that he was a minor, and that his friends would not allow him
to change his condition in life. Since then he has attained his
majority, and made overtures of love to the two young ladies in
question, and an intimacy was formed between him and them (of
course without their joint knowledge), which continued up to his
leaving the town for London, about three months ago; and a
correspondence has been kept up with both of them during his
absence, which led them to believe that he fully intended to lead
them to the altar of Hymen. A few weeks since they both re-
ceived letters from him, stating that he was in a position to render
them comfortable and happy, and fixed a day for the nuptials to be
celebrated at his parish church in London, wishing them to make
the necessary preparations with regard to dresses, bridemaids,
&c., with whom he requested them to proceed to London,
per railway, the day previous to that fixed for the wedding
the taking care to name the same train for both parties), when he
promised to be in readiness to receive them at the Shoreditch sta-
tion, and convey them to his residence in King William.
street, where he arranged to have a select party of friends to
meet them, and accompany him and them to church the next
morning. The bait unfortunately took in both instances, and
his request was complied with to the very letter; and the two par-
ties, with their intended bridemaids, arrived in London by the
same train, but not in the same carriage. On alighting at Shore.

flitch station both parties met, but neither suspecting the business
of the other, nothing particular transpired to create any suspicion of
the object of either one or the other's visit to the metropolis. But
no Mr. It. appearing to receive them, both parties felt not only
surprise, but greatly disappointed; but still their object was kept a
profound secret, until they resolved to take cabs, and immediately
proceed to King William-street, the pretended residence of Mr. R.
at which both parties arrived within a few minutes of each other, when
to their astonishment, no such person as Mr. R. resided at the house
which they had been induced to believe was his residence, from his
letters to them. On the contrary, he was not even known in the
neighbourhood. The parties felt that they had been most cruelly
hoaxed, which led to a disclosure between them, when the infamy
of the scoundrel was fully developed. But after consoling them-

. _
selves that they had far better be hoaxed than united to one whose
wreckless disposition must have rendered them miserable through
life, they repaired to an inn, where they sojourned for the night,
and returned to Colchester the next day. It is needless to say the
heartless fellow has not since been heard of ; but it is to be hoped
that, ere long, he will have cause to repent his dastardly conduct in
rifling to such a degree with the feelings of respectable females.—

STATE OF TRADE.—The yarn market continues in
the same state as for two or three weeks past. The spinners being
nearly all working to order, there is scarcely any business done for
immediate delivery ; but exporters are still desirous of making
contracts,—in some cases extending to the termination
of the shipping season; and prices remain exceedingly
firm. In goods there is rather more business doing, and manu-
facturers, in some cases, are asking a slight advance.—
ROCHDALE FLANNEL MAREET.—There has been rather less doing
in the flannel market to-day than on the preceding Monday;

manufacturers are wanting more money for their pieces, and buyers
are not willing to give an advance, which has caused less business
to be transacted. The price of wool is rather on the advance, and
some sorts are very scarce.—Manchester Guardian.
CRICKET.-THE GENTLEMEN OF ENGLAND V. THE

GENTLEMEN OF KENT.—The -continuation of this match was re-
sumed yesterday, and until about half-past two o'clock proceeded with
as much satisfaction, considering the preceding unpleasantness of the

weather and the consequent heaviness of the ground, as could have
been anticipated. The bowling, however, refused to tell, and the
whole of the " Kent " wickets were not down till the side had

scored 333 runs, Mr. Whittaker having made up his score to 55
in the second innings. England then entered upon their second
hands, again putting in Mr. Craven and Mr. Haygarth, and at the
hour when the rain set in apparently for the night, 43 runs had
been scored without even the loss of a wicket or even a chance
having been given Ly either batsmen. The play of course was
stopped, and at dinner time it was suggested by Mr. Swann, on
behalf of the Kent Eleven, that as there was no prospect of the
weather clearing up, and consequently no chance of the match
being played out that day, it would be as well that it should be
drawn. The matter underwent considerable discussion, which
was ultimately terminated by Mr. Kynaston, on the part of Eng-
land, saying that under the pressing circumstances of the case,
the propssition of Mr. Swann would be acceded to, although his
side felt the utmost confidence as to the result—the more so as the
additional rain had made the ground still worse for the bowlers
than at any preceding period of the game. It was accordingly
agreed that the match should be drawn, without—as the members
of the legal profession would say—any prejudice to either party.
Bets, therefore, upon the match will also be drawn.
FUNERAL OF TIIE HON. CAPT. DE SALIS.—The
remains of the late much-lamented Captain the Hon. C. Louis
Fane De Salis were removed yesterday morning from the residence
of Mr. Woolmer, surgeon, Victoria-road, Pimlico (in whose neigh.
bourhood the gallant officer met with the melancholy accident
which caused his premature death), for interment, in the family
vault at Harlington Church, Middlesex. At nine o'clock the pro.
cession was formed to receive the body, and the coffin borne on the
shoulders of four privates of the gallant deceased's company se-
lected for this duty, preceded by the full band of the Scots Fusilier
Guards, playing the " Dead March in Saul," and the men of the
first battalion, the pall borne by Captains Brendrip, Rumley, Terry,
Jones, Francis Seymour, and William Ridley, proceeded to
Knightsbridge, where a hearse and mourning coaches awaited its
reception, to convey the body to its last resting-place. Prince
Edward of Saxe Weimar, Colonel Drummond, the Marquis of
Douglas, and all the officers of the regiment, by whom the de-
ceased was held in the highest esteem and respect, swelled the
mournful ranks. Captain Rodolph De Salis and Harvey De Salis,
Esq., brothers of the deceased, and D. Holmes, Esq., were the
chief mourners, and a great number of officers attended the pro-
cession throughout, among whom were the Hon. William Leices-
ter, Lord Gerald Fitzgerald, Sir Archibald Macdonald, Bart., J.
P. Courtney, Esq., the lion. James Murray, Colonel Walker,
Charles Newton, Esq., Ralph Leicester, Esq. The hearse arrived
at Harlington Church shortly after one o'clock, when the funeral
service was performed by the Rev. L. C. Booth.
ROYAL INFIRMARY FOR CHILDREN.—The annual
festival of this charity was last night held at the London Tavern,
the Earl of Faversham In the chair, who was supported by Mr. P.
Borthwick, M.P., Mr. A. K. Barclay, Mr. S. M. Peto, Mr. '1
Grissell, Mr. F. Perkins, &c. The usual loyal and national toasts
having been disposed of, the Chairman, in proposing "Prosperity
to the Royal Infirmary fcr Children," observed that the building
debt of the institution, amounting to 2,0001., had been paid off,
and the charity was now proceeding with great vigour. Amongst
the subscriptions announced during the evening were—twenty
guineas from her Most Gracious Majesty; from the Queen
Dowager, ten guineas; the Chairman, ten guineas; Lord Eldon,
ten guineas; Barclay, Perkins, and Co., fifty guineas; Mr. P.
Borthwick, M.P., ten guineas; Mr. E. Antrobus, Si.P., five
guineas; Mr. T. Grissell, five guineas; Mr. S. Si. Peto, five
guineas; Mr. F. Perkins, ten guineas; Mr. D. W. Wire, five
guineas. The dinner was enlivened by some effective singing,
under the generalship of Mr. Hawes (including Mr. Manners,
Mr. Keuch, Mr. Bayley, and the young gentlemen choristers of the
Chapel Royal and Westminster). A most agreeable evening was
spent, the company not breaking up until a late hour.
SUDDEN I) EAT II OF A DRUNK A RD.—Yesterday
4rCa
h.
Mr. Wakley, M.P., held an inquest at the Northampton Arms,
Lower road, Islington, on the body of ThomasNe'ark
in aged
Church.
u 6
gardener. Deceased lived at a large lodging-house,
road, Islington, and Sunday afternoon last he dropped down dead
whilst drinking some coffee and eating bread and meat, the first he
had eaten for a week, having been drunk during the whole of that
period. He was a man that would become a teetotaller for three
mouths together, and then break out most intemperately. His
sister attributed his death to the combined effects of intoxication
and of a wound in the leg, which ne neglected to have dressed when
drunk. Verdict—" Natural death."
FATAL ACCIDENT ON THE. RAILROAD FROM EXETER
To Pismotrrti.—A tunnel is about being formed on the line from
Exeter to Plymouth, near Dawlish, and men are engaged excava-
ting it on either side, who have orders not to fire a blast without
communicating with each other. Last Monday, one of the men
who was about to blast a cock, imagined that the distance between
him and the man opposite to him rendered it unnecessary to give
the warning, and he unfortunately set fire to the fuse, and the
blast went off with such force that it entered through the mound
between him and the man at the opposite side, killing the latter,
Id actually carrying away his head, which was found some distance
from his body.
