TO THE EDITOR OF, THE SUN.

Six,-A very odd mistake (probably of the printer) appears
in The Sun of last evening under the head " Law and Police,"
in which it is stated that Lady Galmoy brought an action for
alimony against " Sir Thomas Staples, L.L.D., commonly
called Lord Galmoy."
Sir Thomas Staples, Bart., happens:to be Queen's Advocate
for Ireland, and was in that cause Counsel for the impugnant,
Garet Butler, calling himself Lord Galmoy. I am, Sir,
your obedient servant, J. H. BROWNE.

We are authorised to state that the report of Lord
Coventry's death, which has appeared in some of the papers, is
destitute of foundation. His Lordship still continues under the
care of Dr. Munro, in the neighbourhood of the Regent's-park.
APPROACHING :MARRIAGE IN HIGH LIFE.—The
nuptials of Lady Elizabeth de Rede de Ginkle and the Han.
Captain Frederick Villiers, son of the Earl of Jersey, are, we
hear, not likely to be solemnised until the close of the season
The preliminaries for the marriage have been arranged.

CAMBRIDGE.—We have great pleasure in stating,
that it is probable Sir Robert and Lady Peel will honour Cam -
bridge with their company at the Installation Festival in July.
Amongst the distinguished persons who will visit us on the
occasion we have already named the Duke of Wellington and
I the Lord Chancellor, and we would now add to them the Duke
of Buccleueh and the American and Dutch Ministers.

THUNDER AND HAIL STORM. During the
evening of Friday last, between seven and eight o'clock, a se-
vere storm of thunder, lightning, and hail, passed over the village
of Mattersea, and the adjoining villages, near Retford, which
did considerable damage. The thunder and lightning were ex-
tremely awful, but the injury done to vegetation was by
.hail,
which was from two to three inches in thickness, and consisted
more of large and irregularly formed pieces of ice, than of
common hail ; and such was its density, that, on the following
morning, it lay exposed in large masses under the hedges in
every direction.
DEATH FROM PLAYING AT KISS IN THE RING.—

Yesterday an inquest was held before Mr. Baker, at the Peg-
well Cottage, Dalston, on the body of Mr. Benfield, aged
eight years. Sarah Benfield said that deceased was her
sister, and on the morning of the 25th ult. was playing with
several boys and girls, at the game of kiss in the ring, when,
to avoid being kissed by one of her playmates, she stumbled
and fell backwards, her head receiving a severe wound by fall-
ing on a stone. She was removed home, and a Mr. Codicil,
surgeon, attended her. Ultimately dangerous symptoms set
in, which produced blindness, and she died in very great pain
on Wednesday last. Verdict—" Accidental death."
HOSIERY AND SILK TRADE.—We think the silk
glove branch has amended a shade, but the hosiery trade in
'almost every branch is in a truly lamentable state. If anything,
the cut-up is the best, but then that branch is destroying all
others. It will scarcely be believed that plain silk-liose are
made cut up. The father of the knotted trade, after struggling
with difficulty upon difficulty in that branch for years, has de-
parted this life. We have long considered him as the main
pivot of keeping this declining branch together by his attention
and devotion to business, and what may be termed raking up
employment froth the warehouses.—Nottingham Journal.
ANTI-AIALTnustANs.—A man living in the neigh-
bourhood of Brookborough, named George Kilday, was twice
married : his first wife had ten children born to him, and at
her death he had sixteen grandsons ; the second wife, on Sa-
turday last, had the twelfth child born to him—making in all
22 children, 16 sons and 6 daughters, all in good health and
spirits.—Dublin Evening Post.

HAMBURGII SUBSCRIPTIONS.—The subscription of
the King of• Denmark for the Hamburgh sufferers has been
erroneously stated by the papers to be in English money
150,0001. sterling. Ti,e sum given was 100,000 marks ;
the value of a mark being only Is. 6d. British, it should have
consequently stated the 100,000 marks as equal to 7,5001.

The Greenock and Paisley papers contain accounts
of a severe thunder storm which occurred in ar.d near these
towns last Monday. It does not seem, however, that any se-
rious damage or loss of life was occasioned by it. The storm
was not felt very severely at Glasgow.
A VALUABLE BUSTLE.--dome amusement was oc-
casioned one day this week by the town crier proclaiming the
loss of a lady's bustle, and offering a reward for its restoration.
But great was the surprise of all who heard the public orator
when he announced that this elegant appendage contained a
large sum of money in notes and gold. It is to be hoped that
this notice may meet the eye of the finder, who is, perhaps,
unmsare of the value or use of the article.—Monmouthshire
Beacon.
