THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. SIR—In The Evening Sun of Tuesday there is statement which is calculated to convey a-wrong it pl-ersion as to a matter of fact ; and knowing your desire to be accurate, .I beg to call your attention to the Staten in question :  A paragraph in The Sun states that on Mon;lny IN!st " three men pleaded guilty to an assault on the rolice in the progress of a procession on Whit-Monday, he‘aded by Mr. O'Connell."  A paragraph immediately following states " that another was tried and convicted for the same offence," &e. This paragraph, which states that another " was convicted of the same offence," conveys that he was tried and convicted of "assaulting the police durinc, the r-e-gress of the procession headed by Mr. O'Connell." This is an error. The assault was not, either in time or in place, or in any other manner, connected with the rrocession in question. Mr. O'Connell took no other part in the said procession than joining it, as a member of tho Total Abstinence .Society. One teetotaller, accused of an assault in its progress, was on Monday last acquitted. At the former Sessions two others were convicted of an assault, by no means of an aggravated character ; and they were sentenced to nine and six monfhs' imprisonment, whilst two prostitutes, arraigned for the murder in Shoreditch, and convicted of Irianslaughter, _were only sentenced to be imprisoned for six months.—Your obedient servant,  Extract of a letter from Tangiers, dated the 28th ultimo, quoted by the Journal des Det;als : " The Emperor of Morocco, having armed his fleet of two brigs and two schooners, has applied to the European Consuls to grant passports for them, and they will sail as soon as furnished with these facilities. The pretence of this expedition is to afford practice to the sailers who have lately been pressed and put under the intrnction of Admiral Brittel. If this was the sole object, ar• tillerymen and ammunition would not, as they have, beck put on board each ship ; but the probability is, that it i directed against such flags as have not been revognizec in Morocco, that is, of such nations as have no repro. sentatives here, or are not allied to the Sultan by trea. ties.

It appears, however, that the Morocco G yen meat is tired of waiting for the decision of certain ?owetrheel iartisohnisp swai nt hd ivte, sanselds,haasn d rteit,.l l us r e them to come to terms (I) t it no aeknet er attacks i to official As a maritime power, The,:si has nothing to fear from Morocco (!), but her c,:annierc may suffer, and so may that of Prussia and the Ent into upon Towns. The increase in the poremiunis of ininram alone will be a serious loss. We are the more oar ranted in this conclusion by the fact that amenn• th iNgs of friendly nations pointed out to the erni:::srs i. that of Belgium, although she has not as yet cntorf-(1 int, any treaty with Morocco, but has an agent at this tiin. engaged in a negotiation, the basis of which is alreari settled.

A NAVAL Gnosr.—(From a private letter.) —A very singular circumstance occurred on boqd Victory on Friday night last. Two marines (Corpory Wiltshire and private Newton) on duty, during the raidwatch on the main-deck, were passing the last gcarter of their watch (a quarter to twelve) by telling Ll(,s of ghosts, &c., and amidst others related that of a paliccman, who, but a few days since, was nearly frightonoe to death by the appearance of a marine on b(!itz-- the' Princess Charlotte (which was paid off about a fortni* ago), and which marine, it is asserted, was killed on bar.' her at St. Jean d'Acre. Newton, who was an aaentiv auditor, declared that he " never could nor would
