From their minute construc tion, and convenient form, deaf persons are enabled to wear them entirely unseen, and they may be inserted and removed with the greatest facility. By their use the lowest whisper breathed at a public assembly vibrates on the organs of hear ing in such a pleasant manner, as to afford the greatest relief to those labouring under the distressing ailment of deafness. Mr. E. SOLttMONS' PATENT SPECTACLES possess the advantage of modifying bright and strong light transmitted through the various humours of the eye, so as to render vision most perfectly distinct by day, or lamps or candles at night, conveying also a sense of coolness and pleasure to the organ, with the additional recommendation of being free from the per nicious attributes of common glasses. Their superlative ex cellence is attested by the following and many otter eminent practitioners, who have examined, used, and recommended them in preference to all others : Sir Anthony Carlisle, F.R.

The Glasses are highly detrimental to the sight. The names of some obscure apothe caries and others are used in this absurd quackery. to deceive the public into a belief that 'these pernicious glasses possess some very supernatural powers.

Last Sess:_ people were indifferent—that the pressure from without was insufficient ; and Mr. Villiers was yelled at and booted down, and tricked out of a fair discussion by the enlightened Legislators of this bread-taxed nation. AVell, Sir, the pressure is about to be increased, and at the very first turn of the screw the League are de nounced as illiberals, because they are not Whigs, and because Whigs will.be bread-taxers. • PRICE ad. even in self-defence, that I arraign the conduct of Dr. Kennedy, as wanting in those attributes alike es sential to the soldier and the historian. The truth of the Doctor's assertion,• that " I had made myself conspicuous in the case of -the Raja of Sattara," will be best understood by the fact, that up to' the period of the Raja's deposition, I carefully avoided interfering in his concerns, be yond the expression of my private opinion to my pri vate friends ; and receiving kindly, yet without en couragement, the agents sent to me by his Highness ; and through which means I might have gained informa tion that might, possibly, have been of public import ance in the duties with which I had been intrusted by • her Majesty's Government ; yet, for these acts of coins mon courtesy, I was, by implication, not only accused by the Bombay Government, in a letter to my address under the signature of the Dr.'s brother-in-law ; but in secret despatches from the same Government, to the authorities in England, of having conspired with Dr. Milne and the Raja's agents, against the British Government. Notwithstanding, this very gentleman, Dr. Milne, had been expressly authorised by the Su preme Government of India to expVa the Raja's case : yet, monstrous as it is, it does appear by the papers now printed, that these expressly authorised com munications between the Raja and his adviser were secretly and systematically intercepted by the subor dinate Government of Bombay, and now appear at the India House, not as proof's of the Raja's guilt, but of the unbounded confidence his Highness had in the ultimate justice of that Government, which has, however, unheard, consigned him from a throne to a prison ; and it I , :as through these machinations, and ru mours founded on them, that I was dragged into that conspicuous position which Dr. Kennedy so errone ously attributes to my officiousness, instead of, pro bably, the officious malevolence of some of the Doctor's friends. Dr. Kennedy's assumption that, as a naval officer, I must be ignorant of all that does not appertain to my profession, is too contemptible to require remark ; I notice it merely with the view of placing such a speci men of arrogance in juxte-position with the humble duties which this medical practitioner so Modestly assigns to himself, doubtless, in virtue of his medical acumen, when he stands forth as the gratuitous promp ter of a Minister of the Crown, the discoverer of all the real merit of those officers under whose command he was but a my humble subordinate ; and who not only dictates to, but finds fault with the confidential advisers of his Sovereign, in the distribution of those honours which were so nobly earned, and generally ad mitted to be as justly awarded. I have never wished, Sir, to obtrude upon public at tention the proceedings of my official life ; but I now feel called upon to establish that which I before ,had occasion to assert, and which Doctor Kennedy has had the audacity to deny, by stating in his book, " That I never held a public situation that would draw a native chief to apply for my assistance ;" whilst in the same volume he tells us that he has not been asleep during his twenty-nine years sojourn in India. But in truth, Sir, it appears that the Doctor is only awake to those subjects that suit the peculiar ends he lois in view, and not only slumbees but sleeps over facts that would have aided him in the furtherance of truth. Had it not been so, Dr. Ken nedy must have known, by the public prints, that, for the last six years, I have been frequently and, if I be permitted to say, distinguishedly employed in con nexion with an Oriental Court ; I was especially ac credited by one of these Courts, and conveyed as a present from it a 74 gun-ship, one of the most conspi cuous, if not valuable, gifts, I believe, that was ever sent to a Sovereign of England. I had also been en trusted by ray late Soveregn with a complimentary mis sion ; and at the very time when the Doctor presumes to assail my conduct, I was empowered by her Ma jesty's Government to conclude, on behalf of Great Bri tain, a commercial treaty with an Oriental State. These, Sir, are facts, at once as condemnatory of the Doctor's as sertion as they are incapable of distortion or mystification. by the utmost aid of his ingenuity ; but lest the Doctor should again be disposed to give his gratuitous advice to one of the Queen's Ministers, let me inform him and his friends, that the President of the Board of Control expressed to me sentiments directly opposite to those with which the Doctor has so modestly assigned to him. Dr. Kennedy's malevolence, however, is not only directed at me, but, under the same pitiful shield of protection, attacks by vague and mysterious insinuations the conduct of the Noble Lord who commanded the campaign, as well as that highly talented officer Sir Henry Pottiuger, who conducted its civil and political duties. The difference in our position seems this, that the modest historian pointedly digresses from his subject to assail my conduct, but apparently with a better grace avails himself of the latitude of his office, to pour forth on parties conspicuous in the campaign, those feelings of weal-known anti long-engenaeroil meimosity ngraaact his Commander-in-Chief, and to insinuate opinions to the prejudice of Sir Henry Pottingcr's arrangements, that might be acceptable to a clique of his own friends, whose policy and interests were alike opposed to those of the worthy Baronet. The spirit, Sir, in which this book is written, the reckless flippancy with which its author disposes of every subject upon which he treats, must be too appa rent to the reader to require observation, but gives a fair estimate of its real value as an authentic record. I appear, Sir, not as a reviewer, but in my own defence, and shall, with one exception, leave its numerous ab surdities to the correction of others ; but, lest British lives and property should fall a sacrifice to the criminally incorrect assertions of Dr. Kennedy, regard ing the capabilities of the Horhain Kurachy ; let me caution the confiding mariner not to expect more than Unedited, instead of the Doctor's eleven fathoms, at the entrance of this Cori ; let him expect only an in tricate entrance to a small harbour for small vessels, and no shelter whatever for ships of any magnitude ; and let him regard its coast, during the south-west mon soon, as particularly dangerous. In conclusion, Sir, I beg to assure you that 1 do not envy the narrator of the " Sinde and Kaubool Cam paign," the laurels he may reap in the production of this book, nor the influences under which he has written it ; nor do I covet the feelings of the man who, like Dr. Kennedy and his ancestors, owes a debt of gratitude to India for the respectable position he fills in society, and who can deliberately stigmatize in the pages of history the sons of that soil, even when in the capacity of his own servants, with the appellation of " brutes ;" but I can pity the unhappy feelings of him who would prostitute the energies of his pen in the ostensible narration of an interesting campaign, and avail himself' by that means of the excitement of public in terest, to widely calumniate a party unknown, unoffend ing, far distant, and unconnected with his subject ; and who employs the same covert means to gratify, at the expenseo the of his military causee r superiors, existenceof those whichpettyfeelings had c of revenge, neither the generous candour to declare, or the prudent sagacity to conceal. I have the honour to be, Sir, your obedient servant, ROBERT COGAN. Oriental Club, December 9, 1840.

Sut,—Your well-timed and sensible article, on Tues day last, on the necessity of union amongst Reformers, will find a response from most of its readers. You there struck the right chord ; and it only wants a few repeti tions, as ably touched, before its vibrations will be powerfully felt. You have rightly said, that in the va riety of abuses which are sought to be redressed by different sections of Reformers lie their weakness, and that in centralization of object will be their power. The evidence of the past justifies your assertion. The people have been signally defeated on the two great questions--Corn-laws and Extension of Suffrage—for want of sympathy and union. The contempt shown by the Members of the Ilouse of Commons to the twa important delegations, and other petitions, prove this. Would Mr. Villiers, last session, have addressed for a considerable time only 40 Members of that House, if the Leaate whom he represented had been backed by those who were seeking the extension of the Suffrage ? Or would the advocates of the people's petition on a former occasion have received that cold heartless, but yet assumed sympathy, if those who had so ably agita ted for the abolition of the Corn-laws had been induced to give their co-operation and support to the latter? It would not have been displayed if the two bodies had been wise enough to concentrate their power. It will be said, and with some truth, that at these periods it was impossible to have brought these two powers to have acted ie concert. ! Too much doubt and jealousy then existed, one party felt that the influence which was sought by the people would not (if obtained) be wisely exercised, whilst the other believed the agitation of the middle classes was not so much directed to any national evil, as to their own particular interests. These feelings were cherished by their common enemy, and, however true or false were the assumptions of either party, sure it is the result was defeat. Now, one of these agitations seems for the present to have passed away ; at least so its. sincerest friends, Messrs. Lovett and Collins, in their useful publication, intimate. But will they and others, who have agitated and been defeated, feel justified, and be content to re main quiet, and render no assistance to those who are now snaking demands, though not so extensive as their own ? I think we have no right to say they will, before some attempt be fairly made to win their co-operation. For it is idle to expect that any mea sure of importance will now be carried, unless backed by the working classes. To what, then, amongst the various objects which divide the attention of Reformers, ought their energies to be directed. What is most likely to obtain general support ? Undoubtedly the most pro minent and most important agitationa will be the abo lition of the Corn-laws, and the Extension of the Suf ferage, Ballot, &c. Which of these will best unite the energies of the people ? To solve this question should the attention of the true friends of practical reform be directed. The Leeds meeting, which is shortly to take place, and which will be so numerously attended, seems to present an admirable opportunity of fully discussing the propriety of some united movement. It is to be hoped there is sufficient right feeling on the part of the people's leaders, to induce them to suspend for a period the questions they have had most at heart, and once more to unite for some given object. What is to prevent such gentlemen as Mr. Sturge, Mr. Smith, and Mr. Cobden, whose exertions for a cheap loaf cannot be too highly valued by the public, meeting Mr. Marshall and I,lls fellow labourers for the Suffrage, &c., aided by P O'Connell and other Liberal members, and to their number unite the co-operation of such right-minded leaders of the people as Mr. Lovett, and let their deliberations be turned to that measure which would ensure the greatest amount of energy and union. Let them weigh well the position they have separately taken, and their chance of success. If whilst divided they believe their success to be distant, unite for the one which is most likely to ob tain the greatest amount of union, and then, as you have justly observed, let that measure which will unite most be first tried. You believe the Corn-laws ought to take the lead—but have the Corn-law League reason to expect a greater measure of support from the people and their re presentatives than they experienced last Session? Are there any symptoms of relaxation on the part of the land lords ? Has the agitation made any impression on the value of their estates? po they display anything like leseeurite . ? Do the people generally feel sanguine of any- - ciniiige at- present? Ties enormous prices which are obtained for land when thrown on the market for sale, and the increased rent ds which are so readily given, is a proof that a firm belief exists in the agri cultural districts that they will remain nearly as they are, if ever altered at all. The landed proprietors feel secure in their present position ; they see (and the truth is to be rage etted) that the agitation will be confined to the manufacturing districts. The lectures and discussions emanating from the League have done much in agricultural cities and bo roughs to prove the evils of the Bread-tax ; they have made its operations better understood by the shop keepers and labourers ; but at present they dare not make any decided stand against the interest by which they are surrounded. Any attempts which have been made by those who have had honesty an d d ar ing to make it, have had little influence, for the mass of the people have been prevented from joining them by the threats and. intimidation which have been used, and this it is to be feared will continue to be the case so long as corn retains even its present enormous price. The measure can never be carried without the co-operation of the traders and labourers of the agricul tural district, unless some such powerful allies as a bad harvest and bad trade should come to their assistance. What are the chances of support to Household Suf frage, &c. Nothing is more popular and mo re de sired with town constituencies, and particularly the smaller ones, than the Ballot, and it has already power ful support in the House of Commons. There is no agency that would so undermine the aristocratic influ ence, even with the present constituencies, as the Ballot, and it would be still snore felt as the franchise is ex tended, and most Reformers arc fully convinced that the present suffrage needs extension, and the best basis of that extension at present they believe to be houae hold—it is a middle course now recognised by even moderate Reformers. For this—the Ballot and the shortening of Parliaments—both electors and non electors may be induced to make a struggle. House hold Suffrage will give the franchise to a large portion of those who have tried, but have failed to obtain, a greater extension, and those excluded may fairly pre sume that if it could be obtained, the time would be brought much nearer when their full demand would be recognised and paid. If the people will resolve to secure these, they will prove the best means of obtaining the return of men to the house of Commons who would consider it their first duty to repeal the Bread-tax, and other obnoxious imposts, which are now pressing so unduly on the in. dustrious classes. WALSALL ELECTION. TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. Dragon, NValsall, Jan. 3, 1841. Silt—l must express my surprise at the gross igno rance or misrepresentation of the facts at issue on this special agitation. Error—if it be nothing worse— seems to have bitten the Whig candidate, the Whig and Tory reporters, and the Whig denunciator of the League in the columns of our deceived friend of the Morning Chronicle. The - lion. Spencer Lyttclton says, in his farewell address, " I had to encounter the avowed hostility of the agents of the Anti-Corn-law League deputed to op pose me." The Ilan. Gentleman should have known better ; for, on Monday evening last, when in the pre sence of some fitly of the electors, I desired to know his sentiments on the question of the abolition of the ffb n - law, he asked me how we intended to act as regarded Mr. Gladstone, and to which inquiry I replied that we should forthwith apply the test to his opponent, assuring him at the same time that our mission had no factious origin, and that our sole object was to make Corn law repeal the electoral pivot here and every where else, without reference to the professed Whiggisin or Toryism of individuals. 1 hope that you will continue to press forward your views on this subject with the same zeal and talent. I remain, your constant reader, London, Jan. 1, 1841. N. A. J. From Henry Cowper, Esq., of Tcwen-waters, Ilerts, to Messrs. S. and B.

The reporters seem to agree that I went to Manches ter to procure a candidate, on the retirement of Mr. Lyttelton from the field ; whilst the fact is, that I have not left Walsall since I arrived on Monday night. But this, and the other half hundred mis-statements of fact, aro trifles as compared with the extraordinary flounder ings of the Chronic/c, in its laboured efforts to prove us wrong, because the Whig candidate was a bread-taxer. We arc informed that Mr. Lyttelton was for a fixed duty. He was only fur an inquiry, and stated that really he 11.11 not considered the subject, and was there fore unable to say more. How very wrong of the League, when hundreds of thousands of men, women, and children are on short allowance of food, and all the great commercial interests of our country jeopardised, to be dissatisfied with the ignorance of a cornet of dragoons, who is ambitious to go to Parliament as the representative of a manufacturing town, thilit he may begin to inquire about the propriety of an inhuman and anti-commercial bread tax ! But we oppose the Government. L not that to as sert that the Ministers arc bread-taxers ? For, Sir, we only oppose those who are the opponents of plenty for the people, and prosperity for the country.

THE AMERICAN ENGINES ON THE BIRMINGHAM AND GLOUCESTER RAILWAY. EXTRACTS FROM THE REPORTS OF THE PHOCEEDINCS THE INST. CIVIL ENG. SESSION, 1840. " Account of a Series of Experiments on Lo comotive Engines, more particularly on the En gland,' the Columbia,' and the Atlantic,' manufactured by Mr. Norris, of Philadelphia." By Captain Moorsom, Ilr. E., Assoc. Inst. C. E. ---The engines of which the author more espe daily treats were constructed by Mr. Norris, of Philadelphia, and sent by him to England, under an agreement to supply " locomotive engines of a higher power, greater durability, and less weight," than could be obtained in this country. They were to be subjected to fifteen trials within thirty days, and prove their capability of drawing " up a gradient of 1 in 330, a load of 100 tons gross weight at the speed of twenty miles per hour ; and up a gradient of 1 in 180, a load of 100 tons gross weight at the speed of fourteen miles per hour." The pressure of the steam in the boiler was stipulated by the Grand Junction Company (on whose railway the trials were made) not to exceed 60 lbs. per square inch. The construction of these engines is very simple, and the work plain. The boiler is horizontal, and contains 78 cop per tubes, 2 inches diameter, and 8 feet long each, with an iron fire-box. The cylinders, 10f inches diameter, are slightly inclined downwards, and so placed that the piston-rods work outside the wheels, thus avoiding the necessity of cranked axles. The frame is supported by six wheels ; the two driving wheels, of four feet diameter, are placed close before the fire-box ; the other four wheels;of thirty inches diameter, are attached to a truck which carries the front end of the boiler, and is connected with the frame by a centre pin, on which it turns freely, al lowing the truck to accommodate itself to the exte rior rail of the curve, and with the assistance of the cone of the wheels to pass round with very little stress upon the rails. The weight of the engine, with the boiler and Tons. Cwt. fire-box full, was That of the tender, with 21 cwts. of coke and 520 gallons of water, was Total weight l5 15i The engine, when empty, weighed 8 togs. The trials were made on the Grand Junction Rail way in April and May, 1839, and were con tinued over the whole distance from Binning ham to Liverpool, except when stopping short at Warrington, to take loads ; and occasionally Making double trips. so as to travel the total distance 156 miles per day. Attention was more particularly paid to the speed when as cending the gradients, which rise at the rate of one in 330 (16 feet in a mile), or one in 177 (29 feet 4 inches per mile), and as the engines approached these gradients frequently either at an accelerated or a diminished speed, the observations were made at the points most remote from the cause of varia tion from uniform velocity. Some of the trials were made with such a number of empty waggons to make up the weight, that the train attained a, length of nearly an eighth of a mile. This required some allowance, which was esti mated at from one-eighth to one-ninth in ad dition to the actual weight of the empty wagons. The extreme limit of working pres sure of the steam in the boiler was 62 lbs. per square inch, except for a few minutes on one oc casion, when it rose to 641bs. The usual pressure for the locomotive engine boilers on railways now generally at work is from 501bs. to 751bs. per .square inch. An analysis of the tabulated results of the several trips give these general results : That on a plane of 1 in 330, with a load varying from 100 to 120 tons, the speed varied from 13 miles 8-lOths to 22- miles per hour ; that on a plane of 1 in 177, with a load of 100 tons, the speed varied from 9 miles 8-10ths to 13 miles 8-10ths per hour. From the analysis it appears that allowing in five of the trials the stipulated amount of performance to have been made, and that in -five other trials a doubt may exist, still in the re roaming clef t. :al:3 demanded was not performed. A comparison of the journeys up from Liverpool to Birmingham, with those down from Birmingham to Liverpool, gives rather a singular result. The aggregate rise of the gradients from Liverpool to Birmingham is about 620 feet, that from Birmingham to Liverpool is about 330 feet (exclusive, in both cases, of the Liverpool and Manchester Railway) ; the differ ence, therefore, up to Birmingham, is 240 feet. In seven journeys of 596 miles up to Birming ham, the engine conveyed 682 tons gross, evapo rated 12,762 gallons of water, and consumed 177 sacks of coke (1,1- cwt. each). In seven journeys of 596 miles down from Birmingham, the same engine conveyed 629 tons gross, evaporated 12,379 gallons of water, and consumed 177 sacks of coke. It would thus appear that the consumption of fuel ,was the same in both cases, and the only difference was the evaporation of 326 gallons of water more in the journey up than in the journey down, conveying nearly the same load both wa.)s. The author remarks, that in the early stage of his observations on the engine, he would have inferred, that from the mode of construction, it was not cal culated for high speeds, such as are required for the mail trains ; yet that he has often seen it travel with apparent ease at the speed of 30 miles per hour ; and he thinks that, with some slight modifi cation of the working parts, -engines of this con 'Struction may be made to do any duty now required -from'' loemyrotive gfrom the small quantity of repair required during the trials (only renewing the firebars whieli—were,originally intended for turning wood, and putting nine stronger ferrules in the tubes), he is of opinion that the present con; auction is exceedingly well calculated for heavy loads—that it may be modified for attaining high speeds—and will prove a durable and econo mical machine. Captain Moorsom, in reply to some questions from several members, stated, that although the American locomotive engines had not strictly com plied with the stipulated conditions, yet he consi &led them good, serviceable engines, and it was the intention of the Directors of the Birmingham and Gloucester Railway Company co have ten of them on their line. The price of the engine complete, including the import duty of 20 per cent. is from 1,5001. to 1,6001. One of the greatest advan tages of the engines is the facility afforded by the truck for going round curves—the same en indiscriminately the ordinary six gineors mftnnging wheeled engines ; and the American ones are oh- served to go faster round the curves with the tatter than with the former. Round a curve of ten chains radius, they had gone at a speed of twenty miles per hour. They run also quite as well on a straight road. He had travelled on them between Whitmore and Crewe at the speed of from thirty to forty miles per hour. They appeared less likely to be thrown off the rails than other engines, as, in some instances, they had run over the short pointers of the Grand Junction Railway — the engineer had merely felt a slight jar, but no acci dent had occurred. He attributed this to the truck adapting itself so readily to the rails. The coke used in the trials was the same as that in daily use on the Grand Junction Railway, and was of average quality. Th e mode of attaching the tender to the engine was peculiar, and he conceived it to be ad vantageous, as it threw a portion of the weight upon the engine, and was an assistance in starting. The engi nes , as they arc now constructed, will do well for all ordinary speed ; but if higher speeds are required, a greater expense must be incurred, and certain alterations must be made in them. [Our readers will remember that three of these engines were recently tried on the Gloucester and Birmingham Railway, and failed. If, however, the Americans, a mongst whom labour is well paid, can compete with us in the manufacture of engines, and send them here, paying the duty of 20 per cent., it will become the Legislature to look about it. Vari ous branches of industry are already leaving the country, and, even now, it may be too late to stop them. At least, let every thing that is possible be done, and let our manufacturers not have to cope with a single difficulty beyond thos e w hi c h nature , and the peculiar condition of the society, throw in their way.—En. Sun.] OXFORD DIVINITY: TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. SlR,—Being one of what you would call exclusively " the working clergy," and having, like Chaucer's priest, " a parish wide, and houses far asunder," .I have, !at this season, little time to look at a newspaper, and your invitation escaped me, " to state my version of the new [old] faith." Nor should I now have trespassed on your columns, had I not seen (Sun, Dec. 29) a statement of the doctrines of the Oxford divines, by an opponent, which (an unusual occurrence with disputants) I, who take the opposite view, consider to he perfectly fair, and cordially accept. Most remarkably does it confirm my previous statement, that the so-called new faith is but a revival of good old Church principles, to he found in the pages of our standard divines. " Sparrow's Rationale' has long been a text-book on ritual mat ters in the Church, and may be found on most of the lists, recommended by our Bishops for candidates for orders during the last century; and, therefore, the gravamen of the charge against the Oxford Tractarians, if stated fairly, amounts to this—that they adhere strictly to the Prayer Boole, to which they have sworn to conform. Another striking testimony to the correctness of my own and your Ilfracombe Correspondent's version, hap pens to be at hand. In the February Number of the Eclectic Review, tho organ of the Dissenters, is an ar ticle on the state of religious parties in the Establish ment. The writer, lamenting the grievous decline of practical preaching among the self-styled Evangelical clergy, goes on to observe, that " the thinking, respect able, and religious part of ? the community is beginning to weigh their pretensions in the balance, and find them wanting. Even some of their own members are becoming startled at the fact, that their Oxford op ponents are proving them to be most inconsistent child' en of the Church of England. Having sworn and subscribed, in the most solemn manner, to all and every word and thing in the book of Common Prayer, yet these very persons, pluming themselves upon being more serious than the rest of their brethren—after giving this amino consent—do not hold, do not believe, and do constantly preach against several of the doctrines, mat ters, and things to which, on being ordained, they thus avowed their adherence. Baptismal regeneration, the absolution in the visitation of the sick, &c., are in stances of what we allude to. By practices of this sort, the evangelical ministry of the Church of England are gradually losing much of the respect with which they were not long since regarded. They positively rave against the Puseyites ; whilst they, in their turn, mani fest a much better temper, display infinite stores of logic and learning ; and, upon the arena of mere argu ment, are thrashing and exposing the poor Evange licals, who provoked them to the contest, every day of their lives. The Oxonians, moreover, have rendered no little benefit even to ourselves, by helping to disabuse the public mind of one grand misconception, namely, that the Episcopal Church and the Establishment are one and the same thing. They have done much to show, what ono would have thought was sufficiently obvious, from the circumstances of Episcopacy in Scotland and America, that the Church, of which the Archbishop of Canterbury is metropolitan, may not merely survive apart from its connection with the State, but will probably become all the better in a spiritual sense through that very sepa ration. Not a few of them (the Oxonians) really seem to contemplate the expediency of the severance." You will observe, that this Dissenting writer allows the Tractarians to be the most consistent Churchmen, but insinuates (and you may possibly choose to agree with him) that the doctrines of the Church itself are " Popish." So it has ever fared with the Reformed Church of England, standing midway between Popery and ultra Protestantism, or Dissent. " Ilia religionis veteris correctio," says Alosheim, speak ing of the English Church, " qum Britannos lEQUE a pontificis, atque a reliquis famiilis, qum ponti ficis dorninationi renunciarunt, sejungit." You may call this Popery. With the Anglican Church, I desire to protest against both Popery and Puritanism, and all I would ask of you is this :—if we who agree with the Oxford divines, are, as I have proved, the most consis. tent Churchmen, do not nickname and revile us. At least allow us the same " freedom of opinion," you so often claim for the infidel writer. You cannot prosecute us for Puseyism : do not persecute us for our conscien tious belief. The progress of conviction you cannot stop—let us agree to differ. I cannot conclude without protesting most strongly and indignantly against your assertion, in a recent lead : ing article, that the clergy are as a body remiss in visit ing the poor. Sir, the contrary is most emphatically the case! I speak from extensive observation—the practice of pastoral visiting is their glory and their t7ri tn. If '6 171,11 n diet riots he innftd where the flee of a clergyman is seldom seen," it is because those districts are so large, from increase of population, that the parish priest is overworked, and unable to minister to such vast multitudes. Ask, in London,' the character of Dr. Short of Bloomsbury, or Mr. Tyler of St. Giles's. I myself have had from 15,000 to 20,000 souls com mitted to my single charge. What could Ido ? Often, after a day's employment in visiting in lanes and alleys, have I returned to my solitary fire-side, and a fresh sum mons has called me forth from the untested meal to some new case of misery. Of my brethren in country cures, I can also speak from observation. Exceptions you may find no doubt, but you may discover the beautiful and true description of the poet realized in thousands of instances : " The Vicar's house is smother'd in its roses, His garden glows with dahlias large and new, Bees murmur through his limes the summer through, And on his seat, beneath them, often dczes A better man than calumny supposes, His living is three hundred pounds a year, But not 'of servants, wife, and children clear,' H e gives away his common right and closes, And keeps no horse. When winter strips the tree, To poor men's homes his wife and daughters go With needful gifts of flannel, food, or fire, And made-wines for the sick." And now, Sir, I will trouble you no further. Al though you particularly oppose the Church and the clergy in so strong, and, as I often think, unjust a manner, yet I would fain believe that it proceeds, not from personal hostility, but from a mistaken view of duty ; and 1 would beg to part with no unfriendly feel ing, and remain, your Constant Reader, Jan. 1, 1841. AN ANGLO-CATHOLIC. CAMPAIGN OF THE ARMY OF THE INDUS. TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. Stn—ln a work lately published under the authority of Dr. Kennedy's name, entitled " Narrative of the Campaign of the Army of the Indus through Sinde and Kaubool, in 1838-9," that gentleman has, in a very un justifiable manner, digressed from the subject upon which he professes to enlighten the public, evidently with the view of introducing my mime to notice, in a manner as unfavourable, as I trust it will appear un founded. The publication of this book was first brought to my notice through the medium of your widely-circulated columns, but the unenviable notoriety which Doctor Kennedy had acquired at the Cape of Good Hope, with the little benefit his anonymous writings had bestowed on the peace of the South African Society, during his sojourn at that place in 1836, but little inclined me to peruse his narrative of the Indus campaign ; and had it not been for the facetious observation of a friend, I should until this hour have been ignorant of having 311 arca with others that covert malevolence under which Doctor Kennedy has introduced me to public notice. Not having the honour of Doctor Kennedy's ac. quaintance, and never through life having had either public or private intercourse with him, caused me for a time to seek in vain for his motive, in having so gratuitously attempted to impose upon the public. " That I had been making myself conspicuous in the 1 . case of the Raja of Sattara ;" and to imply, that, as a naval officer, I must consequently be ignorant of everything that did not appertain to that profession. " That I had never held a public position that would have drawn a native chief to apply for my counte nance ;" and, in tact, " That I had come forward as the mistaken advocate of parties, of whose position I was ignorant." A perusal, however, of the pre• face to the Doctor's book removed the veil, and presented to me the peculiar calling of one of the two near relations, " whose position," Doctor Kennedy tells us, " made it more than a mere matter of curiosity that they should be kept accurately informed," &e. &c. It was then, Sir, I discovered that the time and attention of the historian had deserted their post to descant on the duties, and probably sympathise in the feelings, of his brother-in-law—the companion and coadjutor of the Doctor's younger days, while practising at an Oriental Court—the now Political Secretary to the government of Bombay—the late leading member of that secret commission who had condemned the Raja ; and, if the secret papers now printed speak truth, " the active and zealous pioneer in clearing through and ar ranging that heterogeneous mass of said-to-he evidence, upon which the authorities at home and abroad have evidently founded their opinion of the Raja's guilt ; and lastly, though not least, the official companion of Sir James Canute, to the Court of the Raja, on - the oc casion of the dethronement of that unfortunate Prince. I have always been led, Sir, to believe that the most essential attributes of military life, which Dr. Ken nedy tells us has been his lot for twenty-nine years, arc an open, manly frankness, an abhorrence of the distortion or mystification of truth, with a sensitive re gard for the feelings of others ; and it is with pain, PUBLICATIONS.
