TO SIR THOMAS LETHBRIDGE, BART. BATH—YOU Noun, Om 15, 1829. St u,—You should not be surprised to see the present letter addressed to you by me :—I should indeed ill perform the duty which every Irishman owes to his country if I did not endeavour, as far as in me lay, to counteract the effect of the extraordinary and lamentable declaration made by you at the dinner given on Thursday last by the Mayor of Bath ; but before I proceed to tell you and the people of Sornersetabire and Bath my mind, with re- ?and to your conduct on this important occasion, give me leave to congratulate the liberal portion of the enlightened people of this country (who I believe to be the great majority) on the marked d 'splay of good feeling which characterised the conduct and pro gress of this dinner. For the first time, I believe, the Catholic Clergy and Gentry of Bath were invited to a Mayor's dinner —fcr the first time was there a cessation of unkind and un t feeling towards mdenomination or their fellow-country noa committed no offence but that of professing a religion which was followed by the entire of England for hundreds of years —the religion of four-fifths of Europe at the present moment, and which was conscientiously followed by Pascal and Fenelon, Boor &Jour and 31assillion, and has been as conscientiously libelled by some of the hem of the age. This contemptible sectarian fire has almost ceased--the last spark of intollerance is almost. ex tinguished—the fuel which fed that fire, Sir Thomas, no longer exists—the disabling code which prevented the Catholics from enjoying the good things of the Constitution is repealed ; and the statesmen (among whom Sir Thomas Lethbridge will shine con spicuously) who contributed by their votes to raise the Catholic of the British empire to the summit level of the Protestant, will merit and receive the gratitude of future ages. You, Sir Thomas, have been one of those fortunate public men Who, by their votes in the House of Commons, bare rendered the labours of certain political priests unnecessary for the future. They laboured long and ardently to perpetuate the monopoly of the Established Church and her followers—true to the average feelings of our common na ture they would have all to themselves ;—to them Christianity was only au object of admiration in proportion to the exclusiveness with which its blessings were dispensed. They assailed the exclu sive monopoly of the Catholic Church, and they outstripped their rival in the race. They considered the Constitution as destroyed al its basis were enlarged, and that the Catholic would cease to be loyal the moment the latter began to share in the sweets and the blessings of freedom ; but you, my good Sir, have taught those holy men a lesson—you would no longer be their dupe. You joined the sound and rational band who determined that the civil war of political and religious controversy should no longer exist—that Ire land should be free—the agitators put down by concession, and the empire secured by the comprehensive principle of equal and impartial privilege. How then comes it to pass that you and I seem so much to differ at the present moment ? How comes it to pass that you, whom I considered a second Paul, when on your road to the House of Commons at the beginning of the last Session of Parliament, seemed to be struck with a supernatural light, the Angel of Toleration meeting you, and imploring you, in angel ac cents, no longer to persecute your Catholic countrymen—l repeat, I looked upon you as a second Paul, and was quite willing to give ou full credit fur the sincerity of your conversion ; but I find I have been mistaken—and I am undeceived by Sir Thomas Leth bridge himself at the late dinner ; for he there declared that he voted for the emancipation of his Catholic countrymen—not for the substantial benefit they would eeeive, but the diminution of political power they would suffer—not for the freedom they would enjoy, but the additional number of links which would be added to their chain—l confess after this Ino longer thought you were a Saint NW, and that any angel but an angel of toleration held con stant converse with you. Now, Sir 'Thomas, I write this letter to convince you and the people of Somersetshire, that you have done me and my country men much more good than you intended ; and that even political im.incerity (I will give it no border name) has contributed to render the cause of civil and religious liberty no trifling service ; but I am aware you put on the mask of the political hypocrite only for the moment, to minister to the prejudices of a few intolerant, who were much inclined to groan and hiss, and put down their old Representative, because he had, in a lucid interval, determined on making some atonement to the Irish nation for ail the illibe rality by which he had hitherto been distinguished. You have told your audience that you would not have voted for the emancipation of the Catholics were you not certain that in Ireland the political power of the Irish people would be completely destroyed by such a concession—the Catholic Nobility and Gentry silenced, and the storm of agitation effectually put down. It is quite true, Sir Thomas, that the disfranchisement of 500,000 Irishmen, for no . _ _ _ other cause but that they had exercised their right of the elective franchise with a spirit and integrity unparalleled even in the annals of England, was an act of the most unequivocal cruelty and injustice ; but as a great good could not be obtained without so humiliating a condition, that condition was subscribed to by the best friends Ireland had in either House. Now, Sir Thomas, what is that great good I allude to ?—A perfect equality of political privilege—for you must not forget that in your anxiety (pretended, I believe,) to disfranchise the Catholic, and destroy his poli tical power, you have also disfranchised one hundred thousand Dissenters and Protestants, and thus have been impartial in your hostility to all denominations of forty-shilling freeholders; but do not imagine that you can conceal from the keen eye of a Somerset shire man the immense political power you have been the instru- ment of conferring on the Catholic by making him eligible to all situations of power, of trust, and emolument in the State. You, Sir Thomas, have done your best to make the Catholic a High Sheriff of a county or a city—a Judge of any of our four courts — an Attorney or Solicitor General. You have with your strong arm ,and stronger voice, assisted in breaking down the barrierswhich surrounded every Corporation in the empire—you have by your vote, which you would endeavour to undervalue in the hearing of the Somenetshire men, purified the jury box of Ireland—secured the impartial administration of the laws—set an example to the Exe cutive to follow up the spirit of generous legislation—and lastly, Sir Thomas, you have given an opportunity to the talent and learn ing, and spirit of the Irish Catholic, to enter into the honourable field of political competition, where the Lethbridges of future times must be more distinguished by their talents and their ac quirements and their liberality, than those of the past. Pray, Sir Thomas, are not these great services? and should we not be grate ful to the man who contributed to procure them? But it seems you were apprehensive you did too much for Ireland, and at the Mayor's dinner you felt it your duty to read your recantation. Depend upon it the Duke of Wellington and Mr. Peel will give you no credit for your vote in support of them ; nor the inhabi tants of Somersetshire any credit for your profession of hostility to the liberty of Ireland. The spirit of the law you were a party to is already acted upon by the Duke of Northumberland, and his accomplished Secretary, Lord Leveson Gower. The spirit of monopoly has been put down at the lam dinner given by the Lord Mayer of Dublin—the Irish people hue been' protected against the Insurrection Act in the. county of Tipperary. The latter will respond to the feelings of the Government by the loyalty of their conduct, their respect for the constituted authorities, and their anxiety to strike to the wishes of a benevolent Government. The old Agitators will join in this good cause—they will co-operate with the Duke of Northum berland, and demonstrate the justice of his Administration by the sincerity of their allegiance. This is a bright and glorious pros pect for a country so long abused and insulted; and to this pros pect you, Sir Thomas, have much contributed, though you now assert that your vote was given with a wish to destroy, and not to save.' Your most sublime and eloquent countryman, Milton, who lived in a troubled sea, and contributed by his wisdom and elo quence to advance the cause of human freedom, has anticipated the state tie Irish nation is destined to enjoy when surrounded by such men as Sir Thomas Lethbridge. He exclaimed, with an the tervour of an enthusiastic mind, '• Methinks I see a great and puissant nation rising like a strong man after sleep, and shaking her invincible locks. Methinks I see het mulct her mighty youth, and kindling her uodassled eye at the full, midadAy beam— purging and unsealing her sight at the fountain itself of heavenly radiante, while the whole flock of bulimia* birds fly around her, amazed at what they see, and prognosticating years of wart . .and:, bauble, the misery and ;he buntag humming birds are 'Ves of Sotaiere, *AO ,the puhs aft*. imt nob*. .

Cpl , • • I !mewl& bonour to remain. your v y; SERMON TO THE CONDEMNED. Yesterday, it the usual hour, the Rev. Mr. Cotton delivered an excellent discourse, in cobsequence of the then approaching execution of the three young men ordered to undergo the sen tonce of the law this morning. After the prisoners had taken flick seats In the Chapel, the six unreported felons were conducted by the turnkey to an aperture between the condemned pew and the reading-desk; lastly, Chick, Latham; and Gifford, took their slims in the condemned pew; the former, being in irons for his melons misconduct. was supported by M r. Baker. During the reading of the Liturgy. and the time in which the penitential psalms were singing, their conduct was such as became men who bed but a few hours to live. The Rev. Mr. Cotton, the Ordinary, delivered an appropriate discourse from put of the 411 d verse of the 23d ,chapter of St. Luke—" Lord, remember me ; " which seemed to produce the desired effect. At the conclusio n of the service they were conducted to their cells, where they were visited by the new Sheriffs. Mr. ex-Sheriff Copeland, and several gen tlemen of high respectability, with the new Sheriffs, bad been in Mr. Wontner's dice for some time, when the three unhappy cul prits were informed that every application made in their behalf had proved ineffectual. At three o'clock they were summoned again to evening prayers, where they behaved with the same devotion as in the morning. At the conclusion of this service Gifford (a respectable !cookies young man) rose and addressed the assembly with pathetic devo tion, in the course of which he alluded to his own crime, *anew !edging the justice of his sentence ; he then addressed himself in fOrcible language to those who had obtained mercy, imploring them to spend the remainder of their days kr the service of God ; finally he exhorted his late companions, who wait the result of the next report, to 'prepare for the solemn change which awaited them. This address had a very impressive effect, and many left the chapel overwhelmed in tears. Mr. Baker and Mr. Cotton visited them again in the evening, intending continuing with them till a late hour. Latham's mother was waking during the whole of Divine Ser• vice to see her son, but was refused. CORONER'S INQUESTS. Cn Saturday ari Inquest was held before Y. W. UN- Win, Esq. coroner, at the Duke of York, West on the body of Henry Seal, a pauper, aged 60, who was to have been murdered, in consequence of some severe contusions being ob served on his body when taken out of the canal. It appeared, from the evidence, that the deceased, who had been missing for several days, was found by two labourers floating is the . Regent's Canal, on Thursday evening last, who immediately can veyed the body to the Duke of York public-house. Thecorpse was in a most mangled condition, and presented a shocking spectacle.— Three of the ribs were broken, and the body was in a rapid state of decomposition. Af . Baker and Robinson, surgeons of the Royal Humane Society, said the appearances were produced by its coming in con tact with the barges in the canal, and must have been In the water above a week. There being no evidence to prove whether the deceased got into the water by accident or design, the Jury returned a verdict of— " Found Drowned." SMOCKING Deavu Dv Fut.—Saturday evening as Inquisition was taken at the London Hospital, before J. W. Uowin, Esq. Coroner, on the body of John Beader, a fine boy, aged six years, who came by his death under the following shocking circum stances : Mrs. Agnes King said she was on a visit to the mother of the deceased on Thursday morning last, and while she was assisting Mrs. Reader in dressing, they were alarmed by the screams of the deceased in as adjoining room. On hastening to the spot they saw the child enveloped in flames, which with some difficulty they suc ceeded in extinguishing, but not before the little boy's clothes were nearly all burnt. The servant had gone out, and during her ab sence the deceased climbed upon a chair, to reach something from the mantel-piece, when his foot slipped, and he fell in the fire. The Jury remarked it was a most lamentable ease, and returned a verdict of " Accidentally burnt to death." LATE DARING BURGLARY IN CLIFFORD- STREET. The premises of Mr. Buckhart are situated at the corner of Clifford-street and Old Burlington-street, and not more than a few yards distant from the establishment of Messrs. Stoke, who carry on their business at No. 10, Clifford-street. On the discovery of the robbery, Mr. Burkhart confined the reward to co,A al though it appeared that the property carried off, consisting chiefly of velvets, silks, and cloth, was at the meet moderate es4mate Va. lued at £250. In the course of Friday, however. Mr. Buck hart extended the reward to one hundred pounds, to be paid on the conviction of the parties, or the recovery of any portion of the stolen property. This circumstance, it appeared, ex • - cited the cupidity of one or more of the individuals concerned in the robbery, who forwarded that information to the officers employed to apprehend the offenders, which led to the appre hension of no fewer than seventeen persons, who are suspected of being implicated in the burglary. Several of the gang are said to be accomplished " cracksmen," and Saturday morning the whole party underwent separate examinations before F. A. Roe, Esq. the Magistrate at Marlborough-street. The investigation occu pied•eeveral hours, but as the Reporters were not admitted during the proceedings, none of the particulars transpired; the case being, far the present, kept strictly private, u it seems that the principals in the outrage may be still at large. =lt was stated that, from the comparative facility afforded to the thieves.soconvey away the pion .der, a portion of which is said to have beenvuoveredthe whole tran saction was a "put-up robbery," (planned by parties inhabiting the premises.) One of the prisoners is a petite; in Mr. Buckhart's employ, and this fellow, it appears, was transported for felony about fifteen years ago, which fact Mr. Burkhart was not aware of when he admitted him into the house, where he always slept. The prisoners were separately conducted before the Magistrate, and the majority of them appeared to he young men, under thirty years of age, and several followed the ostensible occupation of journeymen tailors. The evidence affecting the gang, was, however, stated to be extremely contradictory. The most pro. found secrecy was observed, the gaolers of the office not being suffered to hold any communication with the prisoners, who were in the custody of the officers having the case in hand. It is an extraordinary fact, that the numerous extensive robberies lately committed on the fashionable tailors at the West.end of the town, have, there is reason to believe, been executed by persons in the same line of business, who are perfectly conversant with the lo calities of the plundered premises, and the mode of disposing of cloth. The prisoner Sandford, and a man named Leslie, who are now in custody on suspicion of committing an audacious burglary at Messrs. Steitz', are both journeymen tailors, and the latter bad been in the employ of Messrs. Stoltz in that capacity. An exten sive burglary was committed in the premises of Mr. Weiss, a tailor, in Margaret-street, Cavendish-square, about two months ago, when property to the amount of 3001. was carried off; and the same parties who are charged with the robbery at Messrs. Stubs, are suspected of being implicated in this transaction. Mr. Buck hart was in attendance before the Magistrates, but we were unable to ascertain whether he identified any of the prisoners as the per sons who se precipitately retreated from his premises when be opened the window to call for the aid of the police, after having been aroused from his slumbers by the coach stepping at the door. , The prisoners were remanded for further examination. On Sunday last a lad named Stallion, was amusing himself by making a bonfire lathe Gelds at Barbrabant,having in his possession a flask of gunpowder, a portion of which he threw into the flames, when the ire communicated to the remainder, and the flask immediately burst, from which accident his right hand was severely injured. The youth being conveyed to Addenbrimke's. hospital, it was found that the limb required amputation, which operation was accordingly perforated, and be is now in a fade way of recovery.—Conshridge Chronicle. Another melancholy instance of self-destruction */ poison was committed on Saturday afternoon, by a lady named Jacques, sister to Mr. Henry Adams, the proprietor of the Ship tavern, in Leadenhall-street, opposite the India-house. It appears that some time bask the unfortunate lady, who was about 40 years of age, purchased a quantity of oil of turpentine and manic, for the purpose of destroying bugs ; and, to prevent any mischief • arising from its being in the house, she pissed a label upon the hor de, upon which she wrote " Poison." For several days past Miss Jacques bad evinced great akeratioo In her manner, and always.. appeared in a sate of melancholy ; but no suspicion fog.a moment' arose in the minds of her family that it was at an indicative of itvr sanity, therefore no partinlar notice was taken abet.. and she coo: tinued as usual to superintend the bushman( • the tavern.

The meeting was very well attended, the sport excellent, and the betting to a vary large amount. The matches in which Lord Exe ter's famous Bliss came out excited the most intense interest; the expectation& of the majority being greedy dhoppolited by the re sults. Merchant's victory is mainly attributable to Chifney's riding, which was a master.piece; but Green Mantle's defeat bears quite a different aspect. she gave only 311 n. and was best in a canter. If Green Mantle is bibs. better than Varna (who runs a severe race with a good four-year.old at nearly even weight). what must the Lute filly be ? They say that she never was. in force before, end that she will now go on. The money staked on the two matches was immense. The racing season will terminate with the Houghton Meeting, and is likely to be a busy one. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. MANSION-HOUSE. About a fortnight ago the warehouse of Mr. White, in Basing hall-street, being one of a range of warehouses in a large building, was broken open and plundered of kerserneres, to the amount of between 2001, and :001. by some wry expert thieves. On Saturday Intim Ira Liar, the brother of two oriel' eho are now in Newgate under sentence of death, was brought before the Loao MAYOZ, charged with having been concerned In the robbery. At about six o'clock on the morning in which Mr. White's warehouse was robbed, a coach was seen in the neighbourhood by the foreman to a warehouseman in &mineral! street. Two persons were soon afterwards observed on the pavement ; one of whom beckoned to the coachman, who accordingly moved off. Those persons bad come from the back entrance to 'the premises of Mr. White, and the foreman alluded to, suspecting that they were concerned in wine depredation, gave notice to two of the patrol, who immedi ately went towards the place were the men bad been lurking *bout ; but they had, as the thieves say, " minied." The officers then went up to the coachman, and asked him what he waited for, to which he replied that he had got a fare, and was driving to /311- Somata At that moment they were addressed by a paean in the coach, who said that he was going to Billingsgate, and desired the coachman to drive on. The officers did not see any goods in the coach, which drove on at a quick rate, but tamed away in a short time from the direction of Billioppte. On Wednesday last, the prisoner, Walker, was oleo into enstody, and the two above-mentioned officers swore positively that he was the person whom they saw in the coach, on the morning of the robbery. It appears that soon after the coach moved. off froth Barialludl• street, it was found that a small door, leading into the warehowe of Alr. White, Unmet a passage, had been broken open,' the panel having been burst through. The front door of the wants house was then opened, and several largepleces of kerseymeres were taken out. It is supposed by those who are aware el that plans of housebreakers, that the coach in question bad akeady cobra away one load of goods, and was just Amato take away aisetbsei when their object was auguased. What Walker was brought ups be unwed the Lowl.Magemku he knew nothing wbaterier suit the robbery. ••• . The Loan Maroa—Well. fees in your power tit deer yourself by proving what you did at Billingspte on that morning. Walter—l am sure I do nut remember being ins couch any where; but I often de go into s coach, and drive from place to place. Ido not remember ever seeing either of these men. The Patrol--Me saw you in the coach. and you asked as what we wanted, and told se you were going to 13ftliogsgate Market. Walker—l recollect neddag at all about ft•; I have beenather► wise employed than in committing burglaries, my Lord.-- Both of my brothers are under sentence of ezocutioa, and I am otherwise employed than in robbing now. The Loeb MATOD-14011 art you employed ? Walker—lo endeavouring to save the lives of my brothers ; I am toe sedately employed to contemplate a robber?. The Loss Masoh said the prisoner could have been occupied in no other than a bad way oo that morniag, whatever he might be doing for his brothers. In answer to a question frog the LOSS MAYON Mr. Brown; the Marshal, mid the prisoner was a common thief. The Loan Maims (to the prisoner)—l am sot at all 11011013 to keep • person in confinement under sack dreunisteaces as those in which you are placed, with regard to your brothels. bet I cannot think of discharging yqp ; I shall take time to consider whether the case is not, as it is Do* made out, a case for a Jury. The prisoner was then remand ed. GUILDHALL. A respectable looking elderly man named .Tekss Graham was brought before Mr. Aldermin Wistainsea, charged with stealing from a book auction.room, at the corner of Chancery-hoe, a little volume of Matthew Henry's " on the Pleasantness of a Religious Life." Mr. Hodgson, the auctioneer, stated that the prisoner's face was familiar at his sales, at which little volumes, which might be readily concealed without observation, were missed continually ; - and on Friday the porter detected the prisoner in secreting within the breast of his coot, the work above named. Upon being told he bad a book under his arm, he replied was about to take it to the light for examiaation, b ut it happened that the spot on which he was standing was the lightest in the room. The porter confirmed this statement. The prisoner said he had not put the book under his coat Mien• timidly, but the coat might kayo fallen over and hidden the book t without annexing his notice. He got his living by elf orders for a turner ' near the London-road, with whom hi Mr. Alderman Wlismaimis mid, that Athos* be hill doubt of the prisoner's intention. it was one of thow cams wbicif juries were app to dismiss, and therefore he should not commit bins for trial. He remanded him till *Tuesday, to produce Mends se Ma character. • HATTON-GARDEN.

Sir Peter pat the S. into the poor box. WORSHIP-STREET. An information was beard against Messrs. Truman, Hanbury. and Co. in which they were charged with allowing their drays to remain in Black Ragle+street, instead of being taken into the brew house ; that being an offence against the Paving Act. For the defendants it was contended, the Paving Act would not take cognizance of the charge, foe that the street in question was their own property. The Magistrates took time to consider their decision. QUERN - SQUARE. Plebe Jena, sister to a noted body-snatcher. and Woe.

Thomas Pen, about 15 years of age, was charged with stealing two bats from the shop of Mr. Cockburn, in the Commercial-road. About ten o'clock on that morning, the prisoner, watching au op. portmaity, went into the shop of Mr. Cockburn. and carried off two men's bats, with which be would have succeeded in escaping, • were it not that his agitated manner endted the suspicions of a lad who happened accidentally to be pasting at the time ; be COMMll cleated them to the shopman, who instantly pursued the prisoner, and secured him with the property in his possession. —He was fully conimitted for trial. ......
