A LIGHT FOR ALL NATIONS.
TO THE EDITOR OF TEE SUN.
SIR,—In consequence of the various unfounded and
malicious reports respecting the state of the caisson I
am now fixing on the Goodwin, as well as from the:
hostility which I have experienced from many of the
boatmen or hovellers (so called), together with the
opposition and persecution I have met with from cer-
tain parties whose orders from the Admiralty were to
render me every assistance in the completion of this
national undertaking, I came at once to the deter-
mination of laying the whole matter before the Lords
Commissioners of the Admiralty.
In consequence of such communication, their Lord-
ships directed Mr. Edward IL Tinling, commander,.
and Mr. John M‘Donald, Master, of her Majesty's
flag-ship Camperdown, to proceed to the Downs, and
make a report of the present state of the caisson. On
Thursday last, the 22d, the officers appointed pro-
ceeded from Woolwich to their survey in the Monkey
steamer, commanded by Mr. William Bryant, an
officer who is perfectly acquainted with the locality
of the Goodwin. On Saturday, the 24th, the survey
being completed, the report was made, upon which
their Lordships required an interview, when I fully
explained the present p..sition of the caisson, which
quite coincided with the report of the Government
survey. The result of which, lam happy to state,
was, that immediate orders were given for the MOD.'
key steamer to proceed to the Downs with the boring
apparatus, as soon as the weather will permit, and to
render me every assistance in carrying out this im-
portant undertaking. I am, Sir, your obedient servant,
WILLIAM BUSH, Civil Engineer.
Deptford, Sept. 28, 1842.

RAMSGATE, SEPT. 27.—1 t has blown a hurricane
for the last two days. This morning, at the usual
hour (nine o'clock), the Duchess of Kent started for
London. In going out of the harbour she strained
and laboured much, and was not off Broadstairs tilt
ten o'clock, a distance which she usually accomplishes
in one-third of the time. After having passed the
preventive service station at Broadstairs, and when
standing out to sea, she was struck by a heavy sea,
which carried away a portion of her bulwarks, and
one of the wooden houses on deck. A second sea
soon after struck her, welling the deck, and carrying
away an additional portion of her bulwarks. At this
moment she made no way, and rolled and pitched
considerably. In a moment or two it was apparent
that the skipper had prudently given orders to put
abo-ut for. Ramsgate, where she arrival with sixty or
seventy passengers, shortly before: eleven O'clock. It
was found, on examination, that tku the -chess had
been considerably damaged, and twenty carpenters
were immediately set to work on her, so that she
may be in a condition to put to sea to-morrow, wind and
weather permitting. I believe some portion of the
passengers' luggage was washed overboard off Broad-
stairs ; but, at all events, the luggage in general has.
had the benefit of a saline immersion. The City of
London, from that port for Calais, put in here to-day,
at about three o'clock. A little efore that hour die
Eclipse iron-boat arrived at Margate from town ; and
while I write (five minutes before six o'cicck), the
Fame, for London, Captain Corbyn, has just arrived
safely at her destination. I cannot send any news of
the Light of all Nations, as no boat could communi-
cate with the Goodwin.
TILE LONDON AND BIRMINGHAM RAILWAY: On
Monday evening, as the mail-train which leaves
London at half-past eight o'clock was within about
five miles of the Tring station (on the Loudon side),
the engine was suddenly backed for some distance, to
the surprise and apprehension of the passengers. The
general belief was that there had been a slip_" of
earth, one having occurred on the road near the IVol-
verley station on Saturday last. Presently, however,
the engine stopped, and the body of a man was dis-
covered on the line of rails up to London, the head.
completely severed from the body, and lying about
30 yards from it. The writer of this paragraph saw
the corpse at the moment it was found, and does not
think the stroke of a sharp axe could have more com-
pletely performed the act of decapitation. The effu-
sionman.d From the
of blood was very considerable. The body was

INCOME TAX.—In Kendal the number of blank
forms is so limited that the Commissioners cannot
supply the town. One part of the population have
had their billets doux for three weeks, while another
part have not yet received those soft expressions of
the Premier's regard. And what is more amusing,
the number of applications for forms declaring that
their income is below 150/. is so great, thatany supply
of papers hitherto received is wholly inadequate to the
demand. We have heard several parties state that,
with their best desires to fill up the returns con-
sistently, they really cannot understand them.—Kendal
Mercury.

A SAGACIOUS ANIMAL.—At the fair of Ballintub-
ber, a horse, on which a celebrated spoiiing character
was mounted, actually kicked two latitats out of *
fellow's waistcoat pocket, disabling his arm so as to
prevent him effecting service upon the owner, and in
less than half an hour after prostrated two proems-
servers, who had civil bills to serve Upon the same
gentleman.—Roscommon Journal
