THE LATE PRINCESS CHARLOTTE.

FOR THE SUN.

MR. EDITOR.—As you thought proper to call
the attemtion of the public:to the manner in which
our late grievous loss was felt and expressed in
the Isle of Wight, you tnay judge of my surprise
on reading the following mast curious correspond-
ence between a Rector and his ',parishioners,
in
the principal town of that island, 'which •I have
extracted trom the Salisbury Paper of Monday last.
It requires no comment, and ‘vould puzzle—(l
of
course allude to the' Reverend Gentleman's an-
swer)—a casuist to: discover which is most to be
admired, the heart which suggested, or the head
which penned it. It is to be Wert ed, that THIS
Church of England Man is opts of the Righteous
over much ! !
