CASE OF LIEUT. HOLLIS.
TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN.._

Silt,—ln my letter of the 30th ult., addressed " to Viscount
Jocelyn, M.P., Secretary to the Right Hon. the Board of
Control," (which, together with my petition to Parliament,
you did me the favour to insert in your paper of the 3d inst.),
the following words are attributed to his Lordship as forming
part of his statement in the House of Commons relative to
my case :—lt was " found necessary to put Lieut. Hollis
under arrest while out on his voyage to India. Lieut. Hollis
broke that arrest—a very grave offence, and used harsh lan-
guage to his superior officer."—Morning Herald, Aug. 6.
Yesterday, however, I had the honour to receive a letter
from his Lordship, informing me that "the sentence which it
is your intention to allude to, as having fallen from me in
the course of my reply to Mr. Escott, was (to the best of my
recollection), that Capt. Mignan considered himself justified
in placing Lieut. Hollis under arrest on the outward passage
to Bombay, which arrest was broken by Lieut. Hollis (a very
grave military offence), who, at the same time made use of
language which one gentleman would not be justified in
making use cf to another, much less a subordinate to a supe-
rior officer. These I believe to be nearly the words I made
use of in the debate, and not the sentence you attribute to
me."
Making every allowance for the difference—if there b 3 any
—between these two statements, they clearly lead to one and
the same conclusion, viz , " that there were just grounds for
the arrest; that it resulted from some misconduct—some
breach of discipline;" of which I complained in my letter as
being contrary to the facts, and "most prejudicial to the
merits of the case." How can it be said " that Captain
Mignan considered himself justified in placing Lieutenant
Hollis under arrest," when he never preferred the slightest
charge in its justification—when he acted throughout males
fide—malo animo?*—and when his whole conduct has been
condemned—not by the Noble Secretary to the Board of
Control, but by the Commander-in-Chief at Bombay—as
"most irritating," "highly objectionable and censurable,"
and " neither caled for nor suitable from a commanding
officer ?"
I have the honour to be, Sir, your obedient and obliged
servant, WM. HOLLIS,
Late Lieutenant Madras Army.

TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN.
SIR,—A report having appeared in your paper of the 11th inst. re-
specting the trial and conviction of a Mrs. Bland (an actress), at the
Middlesex Sessions on a charge of picking pockets in the streets of
London, and it having been reported (somewhat gratuitously) that
the husband of that person was an actor in the Dublin Theatre, I beg
you will lose no time in doing me an act of justice by publishing this
letter, which is particularly called for, inasmuch as I have had the
honour of being a member of the Theatre Royal, Dublin, under the
management of J. W. Calcraft, Esq., for the period of three years,
during which time my wife has never left Dublin, and is at the
present moment residing in that city.
I also beg to say that I am the only perforjner of the name of
Bland connected with the Theatre Royal, Dublin, although there are
two or three minor theatres in the city to which performers of the
same name may possibly be attached.'
As it is sufficiently evident that the report in question is calculated
to injure myself and wife, I trust you will comply wills the request
of, Sir, your obedient servant,
HARCOURT BLAND, of the Theatre Royal, Dublin.
Theatre Royal, Bristol, Sept. 12, 1845.

Camberwell, Sept. 9, 1845.
• " The Court think it their duty, before closing the pro-
ceedings, to advert to the long and irritating correspondence
entered into by Captain Mignan with Lieutenant Hollis, and
continued after that officer had been placed in arrest ; and
further to record their opinion, that the many frivolous com-
plaints preferred by Captain Mignan against that officer, and
particularly the galling, and, as it appears to the Court, un-
warrantable taunt, marked B in page 25 of the Correspond-
ence, in a great measure led to those acts on the part of
Lieutenant Hollis which have been made matter for their in.
vestigation."—Opinion of the Court of Inquiry.

The FIGHT for the CHAMPIONSHIP.

-
The following " Remarks" on the Fight for the Championship,
between Caunt and Bendigo, which took place on Tuesday last, are
extracted from The Sportman's Magazine and Life in London, a spi-
rited and admirably-conducted
REMAR weekly
KS. publicatiou
"

" The style of both the men may be best judged from the particu-
lars of the rounds ; Caunt seemed over eager, and occasionally lost
his temper, by which he threw away a chance which moderation,
steadiness, and coolness might have given to him. Ills physical ad-
vantages—height, weight, length, and strength—were too great to
allow of that deviation on his side which was accorded on the other;
for it was impossible to repress a feeling for the boldness, dexterity,
and quickness of the lesser man, whose escape from utter annihilation
seemed little short of a miracle. Hence much of the imputed unfair-
ness. Yet we must here record our deliberate conviction that, although
Bendigo was often sailing too near the verge of unfairness to be alto-
gether pleasant or proper, yet this only occurred in the earlier rounds,
and that it must be viewed as a set-off for natural qualifications which
the lesser man supplied by activity and skill. To have stood up and
exchanged blow for blow In half-arm rallies with an overwhelming
giant like his opponent must have quickly terminated the contest
without a hope on the part of the lesser man. Indeed, it would have
been the very hammering game at which a thorough staunch man
like Caunt, with unmatched strength, must annihilate an adversary :
he was, therefore, expected to shift and get down ; and it argues
little for Caunt's skill or gift of hitting, that a man of twelve
stone should fight for two hours and eight minutes, and leave off
with a few slight contusions. Bendigo, however, declared, pre-
vious to entering the ring, that, win or lose, he would not fight
again, a resolution we sincerely commend. Ile is thirty-three
years of age, a time at -which professed pugilists, especially of the
heavier weights, should retire. Ile may well repose beneath the
shade of the laurels he has won, although we doubt not that there
are many who would fain pluck the leaves from his brow. Both
sides cannot be satisfied ; the London division, and the most expe-
rienced members of the corps pugilistique, have large odds in favour
of Caunt, whose Sciencelit was declared, was so much improved
that Bendigo would be served a la Nick Ward ; the result proved
their error. Bendigo is a bolder man than Ward—ready, cool, and
courageous ; the first fight with Ward, which Nick won, was but 11
or 12 minutes ; the second, which he lost, 47 minutes of manceuvring,
while Bendigo, on the first occasion, fought Caunt 22 rounds and
47 minutes ; and on the second, after 75 rounds, occupying
1 hour and 20 minutes, he lost by getting down too quickly ;
this third time ho contended for 128 minutes, a pretty convincing
proof of the difference between Caunt's two competitors. Caunt
will, of course, challenge the championship, and in the present dearth
of big men we do not know of any one who could contest the claim.
Independent of ill-health, we cannot think the Tipton Slasher, slow
and navigatorisk, could have the ghost of a chance with so resolute
and two-handed a fighter as the mighty Ben—mighty, although fbr
the present, fallen. That the losers will grumble and seek to re-
vise
the decision, we doubt not, but it is a duty which the press
owes, :without fear, favour, partiality, or affection, to support ri-
gorously the decision of the appointed judge, when acting, as Mr. o—n
unquestionably did, with perfect bond fides. If this is not done, a most
dangerous and destructive precedent is introduced, which can involve
no lesser consequence than the utter ruin of the ring. No one can impeach
the uprightness of the judge, and the absurd rumours about the in-
tention to retain the stakes, divide them, or to adjourn the affair to
another day and another trial, are as foolish as they are mischievous.
If those who have always supported this authority are the first to
renounce, deny, and invalidate it, what can be said ? That they are
the worst enemies of the system they profess to uphold. In con-
clusion, we may observe that the result of the battle was known in
London before eight, by means of pigeons and the telegraph. Many
clever people, however, knew it for certain long before it took place.
The lateness of the hour, half-past six—it was dark a little after
seven—precluded the possibility of the second contest, that between
Maley and Merriman, from being proceeded with. Indeed, as those
worthies have proved rather long-winded in their former battles, it
would be as well to give them a ' long day.' "

STATE OF TRADE.—The demand still continues
fair and steady. Wools remain firm. Lamb's wool yarns have again
advanced hi. per lb., and are still scarce. There is a greatly
diminished supply- of wrought country hose, arising from the circum-
stance of most of the hands being employed in the harvest. The
present demand may be fairly expected to continue for two or three
monts at least.—Leicestershire Mercury.
CAUTION TO PRINTERS.—We advise printers to be
on their guard against a tramp named M`Donald, an Irishman, who
last week had a few days' work at our office. Ile had been kindly
treated by the men, although without a card ; notwithstanding
which, the fellow decamped with a couple of composing-sticks from
the office (one marked "W. T. G., Swansea)." He offered the sticks
for sale to some of the printers in the town, at the same time present-
ing a plausibly-written begging-letter, to which he had affixed Mr.
D. Rees's name as a contributor for 4s. Gd. He effected his retreat
before the loss of the sticks was discovered, otherwise he would, ere
this, have taken up his quarters in the House of Correction. He is
a seedy-looking fellow, about sft. Mrt, high, and wears a broad-
brimmed hat.— Cambrian. _ _

LORD PANMURE.—We regret to learn that this
patriotic Nobleman was seized with serious indispotition last week.,
while at his shooting quarters, Minden, nigh the Grampians. Dr.
Guthrie, of Brechin, the most eminent medical man in the district,
has since been in daily attendance on his Lordship, who, it is to be
earnestly hoped, will be enabled to rally from this attack.—Caledo-
nian Mercury.
REBECCA AGAIN.—In carrying out the provisions
of the late Act of Parliament relating to the Turnpike Trusts in
South Wales some of the gates in the neighbourhood of Brecon have
already been removed, the tolls reduced, and the distances between
other gates are about being equalised. Among the latter the turn-
pike-gate near the ninth mile-stone on the Merthyr road, is to be re-
moved and a new toll-house erected this side of the Story's Arms.
This building was last week in course of erection, and in a few days
expected to he finished ; but to ! on Monday morning last, upon the
workmen going to their work, the new toll-house had disappeared,
and the men were struck with astonishment at the industry displayed
by the paries who had in so short a period levelled their Work.—
Hereortl Journal.
METROPOLITAN FAIRS.—The fairs lately held and
are now holding in various suburban districts of the metropolis, in
the place of those held by ancient usage, which were suppressed a
few years since by magisterial influence, are the speculation of a
single individual, long connected with the show trade, who rents the
land, and then sub-lets it. In several instances this has proved a
profitable speculation.
The Royal Devon and Cornwall Horticultural So-
ciety held its third and last meeting for the season on Thursday, in the
assembly-room of the Royal Hotel, Plymouth. The display of flowers
was large and beautiful, and comprised some very choice specimens
of those now in season. There was an excellent display of fruit and
vegetables also, especially of the former, which were the more
abundantly furnished, probably, from the circumstance that the fruit
was to form the principal attraction: at a grand dejeii a., which
was to be held at four o'clock. The company was a brilliant and
fashionable one, comprising most of the county families of South
Devon and East Cornwall. The clejeGne was presided over by the Earl of
Morley, who was supported by Major-General the Hon. 11. Murray,
Admiral Pym, Thomas Gin, Esq., M.P., and a number of other gen-
tlemen. There was also a large attendance of ladies present, headed
by the Countess of Morley, Stc. The Noble Chairman presided with
considerable ability, and the usual loyal toasts were drunk on the
occasion. About 200 sat down, and the pleasures of the day were
closed in the evening by a dance.
The Duke and Duchess of Roxhurghe will receive
a large party at Fleurs Castle at the close of this month, when the
Royal Caledonian Hunt meeting is to take place at Kelso, the Noble
Duke being President this year. The Dowager Duchess is prolong-
ing her residence at Brighton.
CHIMNEY ON FIRE.—In consequence of the great
increase and prevalence of fire, from foul chimneys in the 'vicinity of
Spitalfields, the churchwardens of Christchurch have published and
distributed bills drawing the attention of the inhabitants to the sub-
ject. They quote the Act of 14th George 111., cap. 78, sec. 78, by
which all lodgers, tenants, renters, or holders of apartments, arc
liable to the expenses incurred in case of any alarm of f re, front such
a cause, which may be recovered by the churchwardens by distraint
upon the goods or chattels, if the amount be not paid n ithin fourteen
days, and expressing their intention to carry the provisions of the Act
strictly into operation.
A GENTLEMAN BITTEN BY A RABID DOG.—
Yesterday morning, between eleven and twelve o'clock, a serious ac-
cident occurred to Mr. Thomas Vandervelde, a law student, residing
in University-street, Tottenham-court-road. It appears that the
young gentleman had been fondling a pet dog of the terrier breed,
when the animal suddenly made a spring, and bit him in the hand.
Ile did not, however, at the moment pay any particular attention to
the circumstance, attributing it to mere play. A few hours after-
wards, the arm becoming painful and Inflamed, he was induced, at
the suggestion ofhis friends, to send for medical assistance, when it
was found necessary both to excise, and afterwards cauterise, the
injured parts. As the symptom; have since abated, strong hopes are
entertained of Mr. Vantlervelde's recovery. The dog, having evinced
unequivocal signs of hydrophobia, was destroyed without loss of
time.

YorTus.—Last nielit at eight o'clock, Mr. Baker held an inquest at
steliveeCnitteyeuAym
rineas, lillwall, Poplar, on
sea apprentice on board the ship Tigress, now lying
in the West India expert dock. It appeared by the evidence, that on
Thursday evening, about eight o'clock, the deceased, with three other
youths, were invited on board the William Mies by Wm. Wenne-
cott, au apprentice of the latter ship, to partake of some brandy.
They remained on board about an hour, during which brief space of
time they drank between them three bottles of strong brandy. They
drank the liquor out of a tumbler. Deceased, when he quitted the
ship, appeared to be rather intoxicated, but he contrived to regain
his own ship, where he was shortly afterwards seen by John Suther-
land, the night watchman in the dock, in the act, of taking off
his boots, near the cat-head of the vessel. In the morn-
ing following, at about six o'clock, on one of the seamen of the
Tigress going on deck, he found the deceased lying at the head
of the ship quite dead and cold. Mr. Smith, surgeon, deposed that
he was called to deceased. Ile found that he had been vomiting.
He was quite dead. On being informed of the circumstances attend-
ing his death, witness inquired into the state of the other lads, when
he was informed another named Dewes wits in an insensible state.

LIEGE THISTLE.—There is now to be seen in the
Post-office garden, Wick, a Scotch thistle, which has reached the
great height of seven feet six inches It was lately in full bloom,
but the late storm was rather injurious to its fUrther growth. There
are still, however, about 150 blossoms upon it. This is one of the
finest specimens of the real " Nemo me impune lacessit," which has
yet been produced in the far north. It Lippe= to have reached its
full height.—Mn Groat Journal.,
