TO T'llE EDITOR OF 'TIE SUN.

Stc,--I +vas much surprised to see in your Paper
of the I:2th► inst. a very false 81111 tunnel ited cen-
sure MT a Magistrate at Nottingham, in saying
that
,« he behaved very ill, in refusing to grant a
warrant again►;t some frame-breakers, account
of its being Sunday." Now, Sir, to my certain
knowledge, no intor►uation was laid before that
Magistrate until liiondity morning, when he imme-
diately issued his warrant, apprehended the men,
examined them►, and committed them to prison
iu a few hours alter the information was sworn
to: this, both Wright and Wayntnan (whole
frames were broken) are yearly trr acknowledge.
This charge is the more nuinst and illiberal, he-
cause there.• is no Magistrate, in the county, who
is more active, or who gives.up more of his time
to the service of the public. I doubt not sir, but
that your impartiality will readily insert this con-
tradiction, to an imiast aunt unatcrited accusation.
And you will oblige

on her entry in a tietiinsing manner i and thougl
tintorinits prntligaty in private lite cannot, gni
ought tint to eseape notice upon the public stage:
vet it most be bath iniidious and unjust in an an'
dience to attempt to dec:le upon stories of wills'
pered scandal, and punish %vitt) displeasure those

INlsanvit, the prejudice seems to have heen•
cited by falsehood and slander, and if is there-
tote with satisfaction we record, that the

Toe Now ENGLISH OPERA.—We arc much con,'
fined in our limits to-day by the very important
Debates in Parliament, but we cannot postpone
noticing a very successful debut at this Theinre
fast night. Mr. SHOIIT, brother to the
Srtnar, who Cattle' out on Saturday, made his first
appearance as Captain Macieath, iu the aggar'l
Opera ; and is, we think, one of the greatest o-
quititions the musical world has recently, made.
in the present scarcity of good
Tenor singers,
it must be considered trit auspicious thing for tlle
New Opera to have secured -in Mr. SHORT not only
a correct and spirited Actor, but, one Posset
a voice so mellow, rich, .and plea u
