FOR THE SUN.

Bunkers Hill, Deal, April t, 1818.

. _
Nin...EDITOR,---In a Letter in your Paper on
Tuesday last, signed " 7'rott Major," the names
of the Recorder and Mayor of Deal being re-
quired, I acquaint you, that Mr. EVANCE, the
Police Magistrate, of Union Hall, is Recorder of
Deal, but whether that Gentleman is a Magis-
trate of this place or of the County I cannot tell.
Mr. EvAitcE 'is personally and intimately ac-
quainted with " Mr. Troll," who occasionally.ex-
hibits his powers at our Theatre, as an actor of
great weight, and doubtless derives from him as
much information of the politics and police of
Deal as he thinks requisite to gocem his advice
to the Mayor upon important occasions, Mr. 7'rott
having the means of touch local knowledge. The
Mayor, whose conduct was so properly noticed
in the defence of Mr. RoßlLLtAtin, the gallant
Officer of the Severn, at the late Maidstone As-
sizes, is Mr. Edward Iggulden, Agent at Deal to
the Ihmourable East India Company, and proprie-
tor of three-fourths of the public-houses in Deal.
He is also Treasurer to the Society here, called the
Deal Boatmen's Society, a society of the most dis-
interested nature, callin4 itself a BENEFIT Society.
The Article, No. 4, is really verbatim as follows:

" If any Deal boat should get a ship in the Downs, and
the Captain of that ship should want anchors or cables, or to
go to an harbour,—and if the Captain of the ship and the
hones crew cannot agree n iespect to the job, then 71.0 other
ipiat's crew in Deal is to inteVere at all."

1 consider it fortunate that Mr. BENNETT, the
surgeon, who ,gave such important evidence at
Maidstone, has with hiS family quitted this town;
undoubtedly he, would be 'expo.ed to great hazard
in the state of our present police. Many of the
respectable inhabitants are in hopes that Govern-
ment will at once open its eves to the absolute
necessity of appointing an independent Magis-
tracy and a strict Marine Police, to administer
the Laws, and protect all iron► lawless violence.'
We have not a single watchman in this
popu-
lons town, and are all afraid openly to demand
protection of the Ciovernt:ient, which cannot he
ignorant of our situation, particularly if our
worthy Recorder has communicated :he glaring
facts which every one here has witnessed within
the last twelve months. I lope some Member
of the [louse of Commons %vitt move for an en-
quiry into our present 'state; in every point of
view it is important

Tints, instead of the 36 Universities which existed pre-
viously to 1802, there are now but 19, of Which 5 are Catholic,
2 mixed, and the rest Protestant. The total number of Stu-
dents is about 8,500, which, taking the population of all
Germany at 291 millions, is about 288 fur every million.

CORN EXCHANGE, APRIL 3.-IVe had large ar-
rivals this morning, principally with foreign Oats
and Whe4t, and although there was no great deal
of business doing, the pi ices are full as high as.
on Monday. Fine Barley supports its price. In
Pease and Beans there is no material alteration.

There have been in Glasgow three Concerts this
winter. The first grand Concert of Sacred Music
took place tit Edinburgh last month. These
Concerts are well supported. The new Chortis
Singers have greatly improved, and we have no
doubt but that this delightful science will now be
extensively cultivated throughout Scotland.
As a further proof Of the increase of the Trade
of the Port of Glasgow, it appears that the Toll
Dues of the Forth and Clyde Navigation for 1817,
amounted to. 38,6371. 3s. 10d., which in 1816
were only 31,795/. 12s. id.

Yesterday ai Mr. JOHN SCHLYER, of Mile-end,
was in the act of climbing over the paling to get
into his garden, be happened to slip off, and fall-
ing on his bead dislocated his neck ; he was car-
ried immediately to the London Hospital, where
Ire expired.
Yesterday morning an old man, carter to Mr.
Parish, of Edmonton, crossing the road, going to
his work, was run down by a cr.rt that happened
to be passing; at the time, when one of the wheels
went over his head, and killed him on the spot.
EXECUTION.—On Saturday were executed' at
Northampton, pursuant to their sentence at the
late Assizes, James Cobbet and George Wilkin,
for uttering forged notes, purporting to be notes
of the Bank of England. At the place of exe-
cution they behaved in a manner becoming
their unhapry situation. They persevered in
denying to the very last, having any know-
ledge of the notes being forged, stating that
they bad taken them in payment for a horse at
Redbourn Fair, of Mr. Wenman, a dealer in Lon-
don. The concourse assembled to witness the
awful scene was far more numerous than
might have been expected, from its being gene-
rally known that interest was being used to obtain
a commutation of their sentence.
