ROYAL MARINE BARRACKS,

CHATHAM.

TO THF. EDITOR OF THE SUN.

SIR,—In your Paper of the 17th instant, it appears
under the head of " Police News," at Union-Hall, that a
stout well-looking man, surrendered himself at that office
DB a deserter (stating that at the time of his desertion, he
was a Serjeant) from the Second Division of Royal
Marines, stationed at Chatham, I have therefore tore-
mark that this must be a mistake, as there has not been a
Serjeant deserted from the Chatham Division (which is
the First, and not as erroneously stated in your Paper. the
Second, that being stationed at Portsmouth) for many
Years, neither has a Private of that name deserted. As re-
gards the statement made of persecution on the part of the
Sergeant-Major, I have, as a non-commissioned officer
bearing that rank, to express my gratitude to the Magis-
trate (before whom the case was brought) for his opinion
on the subject ; as to those who serve under Colonel
Savage, the Commandant of the Division stationed at
Chatham, it is evident the soldier's wrongs, when made
known, never pass unredressed. I therefore beg you will
contradict the statement alluded in your next Paper.
I am Sir,
Your most obedient and very humble Servant,
&WITHERS ALDIS,
Nov. 18, 1629. Serjeant-Major, Royal Marines.
• ,„4' The case was copied from a Morning Paper. We
have much pleasure in correcting the mistake, in justice to
the Chatham Division of Royal Marines.—En. Sux.

IN THE MATTER OF SMALL.

TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN.

Sitt,—We hive read with surprise the report in this
matter, contained in your Paper of yesterday. The
statements reported to have been made by Counsel, reflect-
ing on the conduct and character of us (the executors of
the will of John Small, deceased), are entirely false, and
we cannot pass by the report without giving these state-
ments the most full and fiat contradiction. The proceeding
was ex.parte, and the first knowledge we had of it was
from the newspapers, consequently we had no opportunity
of repelling the charges then made against us ; and, until
these can be met in their proper place, we avail ourselves
of the present mode of contradiction as the only measure
we have of counteracting any influence that your report
may have on our immediate connexions. Trusting, there-
fore that you will give this letter insertion in your columns,
We remain, Sir, your obedient servants,

Nor. 18, 1829. JOHN LOCKETT.

Counsel.]

LITERATURE.

THE LANDSCAPE ANNUAL.-LONDON, 1829.

This is a very costly and tasteful annual, whose
illustrations, which are various and highly finished
in the first style of art, from designs furnished
by Mr. Prout, are alone worth the price paid for
the entire volume. Some of the choicest land-
scapes on the Continent—the enchanting view of
Lago Maggr, oni, with its cluster of Barrornean
islands, immortalized by the fancy and descriptive
powers of Rousseau and a hundred other
writers ; the Lake of Como, with its sparkling
variety of palaces, terraces, and smiling rustic
villages ; Argue, famous for the ashes of Pe-
trarch, minus, however, the left arm ; Chilton,
with its precipitous ridge of mountains rushing
boldly down to the lake, on whose edge stands
the well-known prison of Bonnevard, which
Byron has consecrated to posterity : Verona,
never to be forgotten while an admirer of " Juliet
and her Romeo" is in existence ; Geneva, with
its happy and bustling appearance, and with the
snowy Alps in the back-ground ; Venice, with
its Rialto, the Bridge of Sighs, and its various
assemblage of gondolas ; these delightful scenes,
together with a variety of others less celebrated,
indeed, but nearly, if not quite, as beautiful, are
here represented to our eyes as seated by our
parlour fire-side we turn over the pages of this
splendid annual. But, independently of the
embellishments, the literary department of the
work, under the active and intelligent superin-
tendence of Mr. T. Roscoe, demands no incon-
siderable share of praise. It consists of remarks
and descriptions explanatory of the different en-
gravings, together with such accounts, in the style
of local historiettes, that may serve to refresh
the reader's recollection. Byron is, of course,
very frequently alluded to, especially in connec-
tion with Venice, over which his intellect has
thrown such a halo of glory, little, if at all, in-
ferior to that imparted to it by Shakspeare and
Otway. We wish the enterprising publisher every
success that this magnificent speculation entitles
him to ; premising at the same time our firm
conviction, that such success cannot but be such
as will gratify his most sanguine expectations.

Sir M. W. RIDLEY and his family arrived
safe at Nice, the latter end of last month, after a very din-
gerous and difficult journey over the Alps, out of Switzer-
land. Lady RIDLEY has received great benefit from the
change of climate, and great hopes are entertained of her
Ladyship's being able to return to England quite well in
the course of the ensuing spring.
It iS said that PHILIP DAVIES COOKE,
Esq. of Owston Park, in Yorkshire, and GwyPaney Hall,
Flintshire, is shortly to lead to the hymeneal altar the
Honourable Lady HELENA KING, the accomplished
daughter of the Right Honourable the Earl of KINGSTON,
Viscount KINGSEOROUGH, &c.

A fine specimen of that rare and beautiful
British bird, the Great Northern Diver (Colymbus Glaci-
alis, Lin), was shot at Embledon Marsh, in Northumber-
land, early this month, and has since been presented to the
Natural History Society of Newcastle.

A SLIGHT MISTAKE.—A lady who had
been plaintiff in a cause tried on Saturday last in the Vice-
Chancellor's Court was so chagrined at judgment being
given against her that she exclaimed in open Court,
"They (the defendants) are perjured ten thousand times !"
" You are mistaken, my dear madam," observed a wag
who was standing by, " only 9,999 times !"

The opposition packet from this town to
Lincoln, called the Duchess of St. Alban's, has ceased
running. Whether this be temporary, or a total abandon-
ment of the design, we have not !darned; but at any rate
the Duohess is locked up for the present.—. Boston Gazette.

There are a set of disreputable individuals
called libel hunters, who are well known among the legal
fraternity. These gentry, with a view of getting their
costs, induce simple plaintiffs to bring actions for libel,
who inconsiderately listen to their sinister advice. In
many instances the plaintiffs are nonsuited ; but should
they not, and get forty shillings damages, it would not
cover their own expense. The libel hunter then pounces
on his client for the balance, and if not able to pay, he
it thrown into prison, to ruminate on his credulity and folly.

The Mona steamer is new engaged bringing
up live stock, corn, and provisions, from Kilrush, for
market in Limerick. She landed, on Wednesday after-
noon, at Kiggell's Quay, above 100 firkins of butter, a
quantity of corn in bags, and 95 live pigs. It must be a
great advantage to farm( ra and merchants, that, in about
five hours, this superior vessel can accomplish a passage of
nearly 50 miles, when in the usual sail boats it frequently
occupied two or three days.

A plan is in agitation for the formation of a
float at the part of Bridgewater, with a canal from thence
to Combwitcb, which will enable vessels of from 300 to 600
tons burthen to come close up to Bridgewater. A meeting
has taken place, and a Company has been formed, who have
appointed Mr. Jassor the;r engineer. An application to
Parliament for that purpose is also in it state of terwardness,
and will most probably be presented early in the next session,
so that we may now calculate with some degree of eertainty
on seeing this desirable object completed...—.E.retcr Alfred
