TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN.

Six,—Observing in your paper a letter, in which public attention
has been very properly drawn by Mr. George Robins, in respect of a
recent rescue from death of a drowning man at Leith, by the prompt
exertions of a brave man, named James Carnie ; front this round
unvarnished tale, it should seem that it is alone to the bravery and
kind-hearted feeling, and at the peril of his life, that a human
being has been thus saved from death ; yet this is one of the
many cases that are daily occurring throughout the country. We
hear of them and coldly compliment the intrepid man who
has risked, and in very many cases kit, his own life in the humane
endeavour to save that of a fellow-creature. Bu-. this in not all ;
the poor man himself, or the widow and children whom his kind
heart has thus reduced to poverty and mental distress not easily
imagined, aitd certainly not to be described, are left to deplore his
loss—his bravery and accompanying sacrifice is reported ill the
papers as an every-day occurrence, and in one single week
the poor but brave fellow is altogether forgotten. Now, in
a country like this, where charity holds a higher place
in public feeling than any other throughout Etirope—where
ingenuity seems almost to have been puzzled to find out what is left
undoz.e or ivantiag to render still more of benefit to our distressed
brethren, it iS not a little singular that it has never occurred to the
benevolent that there heeds a stimulus to induce a man to risk his
life in the hope of saving another, at the peril of losing his own. I
know full well that Scripture is full of quotations, slid comfort to re-
ward the good men who are ready to encounter such fearild rig( and
sacrifices, and I also know thatjthere are many of the really good who
feliOse Oh this thought alone, and seek nothing beyond it. Now I am
of opinion all intititiltioh it loudly called thr to which all such cases
should be submitted, and from whole funds every one will find a
cheering, a pecuniary solace, a little more substantial than the cold
reward of having done a perilous duty. If the Baron de Rothschild,
or Mr. Baring, or Mr. Harman, or a hundred others included in the
tell Millionaire," would only propose an institution of this kind, it
Would be iidtirried by such a list of subscribers as would amply testify
there are in groat abufitilthee those Who will willingly encourage the
brave and kind-hearted by something More substantial than praise.
February 15. JI MM•NITY.
The brave fellow (Carnie), whose case is above alluded to, in ad-
dition to his bravery, seems actuated by no small degree of gratitude.
Ho thus writes to Mt, O. t." The success of my attempt was of
itself a rich reward, Mid the Spontaheotis sympathy, the kind feeling,
and the knowledge that my exertions have been so greatly and
immediately responded to, will act as a powerful incentive to re-
newed exertion, should I be again placed in similar circumstances,"
