TO T1E EDIDTMOR OF THFE TIMES. 9ir.-Avsilir g mysif of the rrailnesa vwith which you appear on Al1 occaisions di;posed to affordi to aggrieveti individuals, of anitnad- a. rite *n sub.ects connec:cd with the comfort and convenience of the public at large, I ant ind,tc.d to ',ore that a recital of my own milschance may olp,rate benci&slly. as a warning to all ethers, and inc:dntall-. aid the cause of humanity in favour of the most noble an! uscful of the brtmtc creation, Ilaving occasion to leave Brighton yesterdlay, f took the precau. tion to d--vs previous of booking a place at the Magnet coach office, in Castle-squarc; and fronti a long list of coaches ef Rounding natnes and titics going at varioua hours, I unhapi'tly selected the Royal ork. which in the printed ha::d bill was Aitinguished fro-n the otiter coachcs by no other circuinstance than its setting out at eight o'clock i"- the morning, and I wtq verbally assuredl by the book- kt rser that it would a.rive at the Elephant and Castle soon after itwo o'clock. 4tn going to the office at the appointed hour, I saw to mv utter dis"nzy, that the Royal York was a pair.hlorse coach-a circumstance o, whiLh no intimation had been eiven to me, nor was there anv In- drtlaaia on the printed handbill of its beitig the only pair-horse coach on the list. Evrrv other conveYance being full, and havittg paid half the fare, I hald t.oalteTlative bht to proceed, inder anr assurance that the horses woould be clianged six times, that we shoulM arrive in town at two o'clock, and that, though the coacih went to thc west end of Lon- don. I 8houlid be forwarded to the city. Under thesc circumstances, I suhmn;itted to he packed, onie of four, in a vehicle of the smallest j;ssible dimersions inside, though otherwise clunsy anti heavy in its conttructi rn, with seven .ntl a half outside passengers, besidles t..e ccachman and much luggage. We set out with a nilerable pair of h.rsec, and thev fairiv knocked up within two miles of (Guckhield, a he vv hilly distance of fourtecti miles, the passengers all alighteti lo wal., wilite the po.ir horses wverc sluiced with iwater, and afforded a lit:e ;iay at a road.-ide public-house. and with much leadinz and driving were enabled to creep on to Cuckfieli. There we for the first tiie cihaged horscs atsd not for the better, ittd with another change pouceedcd slowly to Red Hill. at wlticii place, and again1 at mUroy- don, very good horses were DUt to, onid we arrived at tte Elephant and Castle soon after tlhrce o'clockt. the two last stages of 20 miles being run at the rate of ten miles an hour, while the preceding thi. :y miles averaged little n;ore than six miles an hour, the feel- f- s .n the pCasengers being as much distressed by being tihts drag- -l; b bv jaded wort-out horses for toe longer halt' of the journey, as hb the effort to make up for lost timn by uiging the better cattle during tl'e intense heat of the mid.day sun to the 'conclusion of the journes . On 2 rival at the Ei.ephant and Castic, the coachmanr endeavoured to evate the contract of forwarting to the city such passengers as rc- quired it,but was, after some delay and itsolence on Ihis part, awed mrtto coin I' merce. *My only alleviation during this unpleasant ridte was the agreeable ma,ta .'es and conversadon of one of mv fellow-passengers--a country g tierian- of much consideration, and a magistrate f.or the county of girrt *, atwntIeC suggestion I am mainly induced to give tnyself the at fditional trof"ble of this recapitulation of otr stiffcrings. Thie deception to tte. public would be obviated by the propriettrs of the ,Ma1tict Coacat-oflire condescending to designate in their list Sthe Royal York as a coach and pair, thius giving an option as to the ni, do o.f co.aveyance; but the greater evil would still retnain of in. fl cting upon two horses afull fou .'1OSM loatd. I should add, that for thei mirable se/-Dut thus faithfullydescribed, *1,e same fare of 20s. ischargtd as is paidl to travel bya well appoint- ,d coach and four, eff;:cting tte ihourney with e.uie anti comfort in six TZU- .--.- fl-f ti--ina snin you will r-itir,dlnrlv tIray'A.ifln, Sept. 2.
