TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN:

Guildhall Hotel, City, Aug. 30, 1845.
Sin,—You have reprted very incorrectly the fire that
occurred on my premises on Thursday last. There was
no burning of bond timber or wood of any description,
and the heat was entirely confined to one room, it having
been caused by a lodgment of soot in an old flue which
had not been used for many years. By correcting the
mistake in your next number you will oblige,
Your most obedient servant,
JAMES WALTERS.

RAVAGES OF TOE SEA AT CROMER.—In spite of all
that has been said and done to prevent the inroads of the ocean
on this healthy watering-place, we regret to say that it con-
tinues to make so much way that there is now very little doubt
that, uness something be speedily done of a more substantial
nature, the whole of this delightful village on the cliff will be
swallowed up in the ocean. It is little more than half a year
since we recorded some very important shoots that then took
place, which, though they were denied at the time, were but too
true. Those shoots and the force of the tides washed away the
entire jetty, with large portions of the cliff, and in part under-
mined slime cottages on the Sherringham side of the town
We regret to add, that on Wednesday night last, by the
power of the laud springs and of the high tides (the moon being
at the full on Sunday ), other portions of the cliff fell, and
several of these cottages, belonging to a Mr. Rust, toppled into
the vortex below. The cottages had been unoccupied since the
farmer shoot took place, and were about to be pulled down ;
indeed the men employed to do so had only a few minutes before
they fell left the premises. A wall, recently built by Mr. Step-
pings, the proprietor of the Hotel de Paris, was also washed
away, and has left that part of the town unpretected. We
know not what degree of fear may be felt by the inhabitants,
but when we reflect on the large shoot that took place on the
15th January, 1825, when twelve acres of cliff were en-
gulphed in the ocean, we own that we feel some alarm for the
safety of the town. The proposed protection walls, with tun-
nels behind to carry off the land-springs, would in ail proba-
bility have secured the town, but after spending 1.2001 for an
Act of Parliament, there is scarcely a chance of the money ne-
cessary to effect these projects being raised. It is quite out of
the power of the inhabitants to do it, and without the
assis-
tance of the benevolent they must commit themselves, their
land, their houses, and their handsome church, to the chapter
of accidents ; and in that case Cromer will assuredly follow the
fate of Shipden.—Bury Post.

[ADVERITSEMENT.] —An Extraordinary Cure of
a Diseased Knee of Ten Years' Standing, by Holloway's Pills
and Ointment !—Mr. Edward Perryns, residing at No. 21,
Fargate-street, Worcester, is now cured of an abscess on the
knee and a stiff joint, which had been bad for ten years, indeed,
ever since he was fourteen. He had lost from the knee joint
several pieces of bone, one being two inched in I.;.ngth. He
had been under the most eminent i'ne faculty in Worcester,
and at last was told that his leg must be amputated, as a cure
was quite impossible! A perfect cure has been effected in this
hopeless case by these wonderful medicines. Sold by all
chemists and by the proprietor, 244, Strand, London.

C OPY of a LETTER from WILLIAM
COURTNEY, Esq.

To Mr. THOMAS PROUT, 229, Strand, London,

Church Farm, Barton Stacey, near Andover Railway
Station, Hants, October 26, 1844.
Sir,—l cannot help expressing my astonishment in the effect I have
experienced in taking your Pills for the Gout. I was taken on Thurs-
day night so severely with it as to be with difficulty able to get out
of my bed, and after I arose I had severe pains, followed on with in-
flammation of the foot increasing. I took three of your Pills, and
within two hours I found the pain to entirely cease. I afterwards
took two Pills at a dose twice in the day, and I am, thank God, this
morning able to walk without the slightest inconvenience. I found in
a previous very severe attack very great relief; I had the pains in
my knees and thighs so very severe at that time, I thought I must
have died, and that it must have gone into my stomach. At that
time I had resort to your Pills, and they relieved me—within two
hours I was quite easy. The use of these Pills ought, really, to be
known all over the world. I have a brother, a young man, that
suitors horribly with it, and his greatest relief and preventive has
been your Pills. Make what use you please of my report.-7'ours
truly and respectfully, WILLIAM COURTNEY.
