We have been favour ed, says the Oxford Herald, w ith as extract of a letter from a distinguished It isle gentle man to his friend in London, on the subject of Mr. Se cretary CAtisyscis brief visit to the Sister Island. The passage the confided to us contains so just and so el..quently expressed a tribute to the merits of Mr. CANNING, and so faithful, yet so saddening a repre , .sentat.tpitokke unhappy state of Leland, that we hasten to lay tbiteßract before our readers: "i i always heartily disapproved of Mr. Canning's visit to this coantry. Alas! alas! he does not know us! Where, indeed, but in Ireland, could he learn the extreme degradation to which a peo ple may be reduced by the bitterness and rancour of religious ha tred and political dissetisiun, mutually irritating and inflaming each other? George Canning the popular, the generous, the all-accom plished, the successful statennati,t unrivalled orator, the admiration of foreioers, the pride of the age, comes in the fulness of his fame to the country of his ancestors, and is received with open insult and derision by one party, and with sullen and contemptuous indiffer-, ence by the other! You speak of another effort of his genius to be put forth, in the native land of Grattan and Burke, but there gra be none. No address will be presented ; no public meeting will be convened ; no invitation from any body of Irishmen will be given to the illustrious visitor. In the Cr rporation the propriety of an address was just mentioned, that the determination to refuse it might be the Marked and observable. In the Orange papers Dlr. Canning i n atnounced as unprincipled, corrupt, and superticiaL In truth, you can form no proper estimate of the state of parties here, if you judge frotd your recollections of 1812 or 1815. It is the Jacubinism of Protestant stupidity striving with the Jacobinism of Popish rage. Whatever honoured or adorned the country, is discountenanced in retirement, in exile or despair." SUSPENSIO.V OF MR. FLETCHER. . It will be remembered that, some time since, an action was tried in the Court of King's Bench, in which the Rev. Alexander Fletcher, Minister of Albion Chapel, London, was defendant, for a breach of promise of marriage. The proceedings that took place on that oc casion produced divisions In the congregation of the Rev. Gentle man, and irregularities in the government of his March. The case was ultimately seferred to the Synod, who summoned the accused Minister before them. This summons, however, he did not obey ; and the result has been, a suspension float the exercise of his office, and from the fellowship of his Church, until the next meeting of the Synod, at which he Is required to appear, in order to. defend his condi:et, and receive the final sentence of the Court. The Synod Stumbled on Wednesday, in the Rev. Dr. Hall's Chutch, Broughton-place, Edinburgh, and after reading the ducts menu, a long discussion tool place on the subject. The following is the decision of the Synod on the whole matter: 61 Find it proved by Mr. Fletcher's letter, and by his confession, particularly in the Court of King's Bench, that he has IsPeti silky of the breach of promise of marriage, aggravated by the duplicity of his conduct, and by assertions of innocence, which, in direct opposi tion to his confession, he has frequently repeated, and by the ca lumnious charges he has preferred against the family of which the Lady is a member, and against others who took a most friendly in serest in this business; and that in dispensing the Loan's Supper in opposition to the deed of the Session, he has acted in a manner sub- Nettles of the order of the Presbyterian Church; and that his of fence in this case is aggravated by the charges which he preferred against the Members of his Session ; and that for these offences he is liable to censure." The Synod then proceeded to give judgment with respect to the censure which should he inflicted, and after long reasoning. agreed, " that for the offences of which be has been fount guilty, he shall be suspended from the exercise of his office, aid from Church fellowship, until next Meeting of Synod, and that he shall be summoned to attend said Meeting, in order that he may be rebuked at the bar of this Court, and that he may be farther dealt with as they shall see cause, according to the rules of the chords; and the Synod hereby suspends Mr. Fletcher, and appoints accordingly, with certification." The Court were occupied with this case till.half-past twelve p.n. The Duchess of KENT, and her daughter the Princess ALIXANDRINA, who are now residing at Ramsgate, make constant eacurCons to Margate, with the bustle of which both the Duchess and the Princess seem highly delighted. Lord Viscount SIDMOUTII is now at New Park, near Devizes, on a visit to his nephew, T. G. B. ESTCOUST, Esq. M.P. His Lordship is on his return home from the West, where he has been for the benefit of his health. The moment it was known that he had passed through Devizes, the bells of the different churches commenced a merry peal, and have continued, occasionally, throughout the morning. Sunday, Colonel and Lady AvetrsTA FITZCLARENCR and suiie, arrived at Belfast from Glasgow. The Paris Pspers were not to be published on Thurs• day, in consequence of that being the day appointed for the re moval of the body of his late DiArrorr from the Tuileries to the Church of St. Denis.

Buena/4. The School and every department of the Regimental Establishment were inspected, and much approved. His Lordship partook of an elegant entertainment, and immediately afterwards proceeded to enjoy, for some days, the enchanting scenery of the Lakes of Killarney. Thursday se'nnight, Lord Commutes inspected the troops in the neighbourhood of Mallow; and thence to the hospitable seat of J.

Their Colonel, Lieutenant-General the Earl of KILMORZT, accompanied by the Ladies NIEEDHAN, arrived in front of the regiment soon after twelve o'clock, and were received with presented arms. After his Lordship had inspected the men, passing along the front and rear ranks, the old colours were marched to the front, escorted by the grenadier company, and were there cued up with the honours of war. The new colours, which bear, in addition to the former regimental badges, " birlia"and Booboo,' were then presented, in the most graceful .ad condescending man ner, by Lady Emily Nusbaum. • Tuesday, the members of the Grenadier Company of the late Re giment of Oxford Volunteer I tifantry dined together at the house of their comrade, Mr. Lucas, the Lamb and Flag, in St. Thomas's parish, in that city.

No Officer shall be promoted to the rank of Captain, until he has been two years an effective Subaltern. No Officer shall be promoted to the rank of Major, until he has been six years in the service. No Regimental Officer, being actually under orders to join a Regiment or Battalion on foreign service, shall be permitted to exchange into another Regiment, except such exchange shall be solicited on the pound of extreme ill health, which must be cer tified by a Military Medical Officer. In these medical certificates it must be clearly stated, whether the cause of the Officer's 'field. lily has, or has not, arisen subsequently to his having been placed under orders to join his Regiment. Officers who give io the resignation of their Commissions, sr who apply to retire on half-pny, with or without the difference, are not, in consequence, to quit their Regiments, until they receive regular permission for that purpose.

The following particulars have been received from Jamaica, re specting the loss of the Shannon : " Narrative of the crew of the launch Caron, and more particu larly that of the Mulatto Carthagenas, alias Cavanere, who arrined from the bar of St. Pedro, on the evening of the Bth instant : " Castesacnv, Juni LS, 1824.—That, on the 18th May, off the bar of St. Pedro, they fell in with the pilot-boat schooner belong ing to Yalafar, owned by Sr. Moles, under the command of Juan el Valenciano, second in command, known by the name of Ramon with the cut face? having a compliment of 58 men, one gun (an eight-pounder), and forty muskets and blunderbusses; that a coun tryman of Carthagenas told him that, on the Tuesday preceding, in seven fathoms water, in front of the Lagoon of Termina, they took an English skip called the Shannon ; that they boarded her, and killed the whole of the people on board; that they cut off the head of the Captain, old stuck it on a pole on the shore; that the trunks and bedding of the ship were taken on shore; and that the new Captain, Juan, was wearing the white hat and trowsen of the Captain ; and that they also took the boat belonging to the narrator's launch. The pirates afterwards burnt the Shannon, having first removed the gins, tackle. &c. out of her into the piratical vessel." Arrived off Dover, the Friends, TODD, from Jamaica.

Remains, the Admiral Berkeley transport, for Woolwich. Ma. TALMA.—Mr. Telma was the personal friend of Bonaparte, and was one of the few who dared to speak openly to that ruler; and by his candour and good con duct he has continued, notwithstanding the liberality of his political opinions, to secure the friendship of the leading members of the present dynasty. The house and purse of Mr. Telma have ever been opened to dis tressed talent ; and the most fortunate of the literary and theatrical world—amongst whom we reckon John Kemble—were happy to cultivate his acquaintance. But Mr. Telma has a claim to the good will of Englishmen, which all their respect and attentions cannot discharge. -The monument erected in the south of France, at an expense of more than 20,000 francs to the memory of the daughter of our immortal Young, was the work of Telma. There is something romantic and affecting 'about the history of this young lady's death. She was a Protestant, and the abominable bigotry of the Roman Catholic priesthood denied to her corpse interment in consecrated ground. Under these circumstances, the author of .Fight Thoughts dug a grave for his beloved child in his garden, and buried her with his own hands. This affecting scene has been perpetuated by a well executed print, published in Paris; and the erection of the monument by Telma will transmit an useful lesson to posterity. It is gratifying to state, that this act has met with the approbation of every reflecting and well meaning man in France. Indeed, we are happy to find that every day brings the well-disposed of each country nearer together, and that the absurd prejudices of na tionality, which once disgraced the English as well as the French, are nearly extinct. Nothing Is so calculated to remove them altogether as the encouragement given to men of talent in both countries. ELOPEMENT. • The Dublin Star gives an account of the ell pement of a young and beautiful wife from Dublin, with a man named Vitch, who has a wife, new on a bed of sickness, and three children. On Tuesday, Mr. W. M. Carlile, the husband of the Lady, was thrown Into the greatest alarm by her unexpected absence, and immediate steps were takento obtain information respec ting her. Mr.C. repaired to the *houses of several friends; and afterwards had the Bason and Royal Canal adjoining, dragged, fearing that by some unforeseen accident*, she might, on her way home to Phibsborough, have gone in that direction, and have been dross ned. The disttacied mother of the Lady, Mrs. Wade's, fist object was to seek the assistance of her old and esteemed friend, Mr. James Vitch. Mr. V. was not only the intimate friend of Mrs. Wade's late husband, but had been left guardian to her children, and since the death of the Rev. Mr. Wade, this Gentle man has been consulted on all occasions regarding the welfare of• a large family, whose only protector was a sickly mother. Mr. Vitch not being at home, search was•made at the different roach-offices, when it was as certained that a post-chaise had been sent to the Circu lar-road, and a Gentleman' and Lady had been seen going into it (not going upon the top, as has been in correctly stated by report). Mr. Carlile, accompanied by a professional friend, Mr. Belcher, immediately pto ceeded on the northern road, where, after a stage or two, they met the driver of the chaise, who gave them the description of the persons he had driven in his and that the following words had passed beta een them, previously to their departure from Dublin. Mr. Vitch asked Mrs. Carlile is would she come now ?" this she declined. He then said, " now is your-time, or never r. and taking her round the waist, he handed her into the chaise, and jumping in after her he drove cif. Mr. Cat lile, the unhappy husband, now continued his plate to Belfast, where he succeeded in discos ering the retreat of the fugitives; and upon entering their apart ments, what must have been his agony of mind when he beheld the once partner of his life techning on the shoul der, or rather sitting on the knee, of the man who had but the Sunday before dined at his table, and had been entertained by him and his mother-in-law as the guar- dian and protector of his wife's family. He gazed for some moments, deprived of motion; he then searched for his pistols, but fortunately his companion had, with due caution and propriety, concealed them previously to their leaving the chaise. When he recovered a little he demanded his beautiful and once loving wife, and im plored her to return to her afflicted mother. Mrs. Carlile, however, declared that she would not, and never would return to her mother. The seducer now stepped for ward, and said that he would only part with the Lady with his life, and the husband was then forced by his friend from their presence, to prevent any serious con sequences. Mrs. Carlile, immediately on her husband retiring, sent him her wedding-ring, and desired he should be informed that she had left her locket and.other trinkets, the pledges of their mutual faith, behind her in Dublin. This Mr. Vitch had lately a property in the county of Westmeath, which he contrived to dispose of, together with all his plate and furniture, on pretence of removing his establishment to Dublin, for which it was, Ire said, necessary to have a new service of plate. It is supposed Mr. Vitch has 7000(. in money, besides five or six trunks, containing property to a considerable amount. His family is highly respectable, and two of his brothers were on the eve of matrimony, previously to this distressing occurrence. OLD BAILEY, SEPT. 24. John Taylor, aged 17, was charged with burglary ; but obtained an acquittal, because the prosecutor was entered on the indictment John Makeham, and his real name was John Bartlett Makeham. Evan Jones was charged with violating Ann Garham, aged 17. He is a milkman in Shoreditch, and has a wife and Family; the girl, an orphan, was his servant. She stated that he had begun to act improperly towards her on Sun day, the 26th of August, when her mistress had gone to church; and on the Wednesday fallowing a man, but whom she could not see, effected the act for which the prisoner was indicted. She answered questions with the utmost reluctance, and at last admitted to Mr. Adolphus, that she would not have prosecuted but for Conroy, who was married to her aunt.—Acquitted. A detainer having been lodged against G. Daigle.ld, for receiving from James Thomas, alias Davis, I,OOU. in Bank and promissory notes, the property of J. Haiues, in the county of Surrey, the pri soner is ordered to be removed by Habeas Corpus to Horsemonger lane Jail; and ;rimy Israel, for stealing a quantity of gold coin, in the county of Buts, is ordered to be removed to the same place to take his trial. The Calendar having been gone through by two o'clock, the RecoaDea retired for about an hour. His Lordship returned into Court, accompanied by the Al dermen and proper Officers; and silence having been called, he proceeded to pass the following sentences, viz. Transportation for Life-11.

Connor, M. Appleby, J. Stevens, J. Bowler (to be whipped). An immense number were sentenced to various periods, front six to one month's imprisonment, and several to 14 and seven days,- The judgment of the Court was respired on the following per sons until next Sessions :—B. R. Budd, M. A. Cullinson, W. Thompson, J. Charman, M. Sullivan, W. Hampton, J. Bryan, and G. Evani. The unhappy men who had been cast for death, were now brought into the Dock, and arraigned as follows : George Inkman, for highway robbery ; Samuel Ilarris, otherwise W. Harris, for feloniously being at large before the expiration of the period for which he was ordered to he transported f L. Pickers, G. Sales, S. Roadley, W. Leary, and W.

Rolfe, for stealing a cow ; T. Douse, G. Richardson, otherwise G. Ritchie, and J. Martin, and J. Smith, for Nesting in a dwelling-house. The Racoatiert addressed the unhappy men, or rather youths, for the greater number of them had not attained the age of 18, in the most impressive manner. To Hare wood, and the convicts for horse-stealing, he could not hold out the slightest hopes of mercy. Sentence of Death was then passed on them, and the Court adjourned. • . ' - • .1 .6 • Va.'.

'rub for. nothing has taken place that has caused so much sensation in the sporting world as the race of - the present year. Such was the desperate situation of numbers of letting men, that just previ ously to the race, when it was ascertained what horses would start, nothing but bets of thousands were named.
