EACH. .. ~ J. PACKER) Secretary. . [advertisemfnt.^ To the Editor of the Sydney Morning Herald. (Per favor of the Colpnist.) SIR,_A paragraph appears in yesterday's Herald, signed " Soutliern Voyageiir," relative to the Ocean Queen running ashore on Cape Farewell Spit (and not the. Cape itself, which,.by the tenor of your correspondent's; statement, most people would imagine to he. the case). '" Southern Voyageuv" recommends me to pay more attention to my latitude in entering Cook's Straits in future. With all due respect for his enlightened ideas on that subject, I beg to observe that latitude had nothing whateverto do with it. A chronometer, which a few days previously was rated in Sydney by Mr. Pievost, one of the Sydney raters, was after the accident found to be 3 in 400 slew, thus placing the ship forty'miles'a-head of her true position, causing me to haul up into Blind Bay (in a dark night be it understood) thinking.l was clear of all danger. . : By inserting this, you will oblige: Yours, &c, RICHARD ARNOLD, Master Ocean. Queen. Sydney, March 16th. " . " . P.S.—Perhaps "Southern Yoyageur" has by this time learnt the compass. ■ ■ R. A. ~ [advertisement.] . To the Editor of the Colonist. . "''":' QIR,—On the.. 20th instant, I .with some friends attended the opening of a public-house here, where a goodly number of the residents (and the police) were enjoying themselves until .a late hour of the night. .'Previous to our departure,' a flight quarrel arose between myself and another, which was afterwards takeft up by two others,-; and ended a.s.you will perceive by the evidence1 in this case. * Now, it appears to me that there is something wrong tiere, either that the policemen ought not to be entering into the fun inside the house, or that they were,not to be easily known as constables amongst a crowd. Now, as the principle involved in this case is for.assaulting a constable in the execution of his duty, will you permit me to ask if-it is their duty to be out drinking and dancing all night? ;: In conclusion, permit me to say that the whole of the disturbances arising from any social meeting held here lately, have been caused through the interference of a constable, who on one occasion at a party offered to fight any man on the flat for jgoO.
