FOR THE SUN. PUNS. Ma. EDITOR—May I crave your. attention, first acknowledging I am one who am very par tial to a l'un, and the worse it is positively I like exceedingly. I can also enjoy a good Pun, and I shall, therefore, be very sorry if you lend your columns as a means to exterminate that witty body at St. John's, yclept Punsters, on ac count of a ------, In reply to JOANNENSIS, if it will not offend him, may I ask if Gentlemen, regularly bred, and as regularly professed and acknowledged, never swear? If they do, how dare he say that it was a misrepresentation in your Paper, of which he has given no proOf? He has confidence enough, I see, to say you,will ad mit a libel, and he has confidence enough to fancy that a .Punster at St. John's mast needs be his ac - - quaintaace; yet, alas! the author of Vindkkc Jodnnenses claims acquaintance with an UUCOO. scionable punster, who in a moment of anger (ira furor brez'is eel) can swear, w hen hungry and faint and beholding all The good things running past him to the Fell ow ' s t a bl e ,, h e can get none for himself. Now, Sir, I ask him, if an unfortu nate undergraduate, because he is educated as a gentleman, and called " to the duties of so high responsibility," (I suppose his friend has taken Holy Orders now), if it is his.duty, to pay two or three hundred a year for his education as such, and have no one to wait on him at table for that sum. But, another question I , shall ask him, is whether he has looked at the Calendar, and will still venture to say, that no other Mr. K. than his acquaintance can yon, or whether there is no other Mr. K. but his friend who was likely to swear? The cap seems to have fitted ; but joking apart, it is very ridiculous in JOANNENSIS to fancy, and much more so in attempting to make the world believe, that there is not a soul, whether, a punster or not, in our Universities, who ever lets slip a , a word you cannot print at length. Surely JOANNENSIS does not want to brave you into a breach of literary practice. lloping, Mr. Editor, that you will notice this reply by inserting it in your columns, and continue occasionally your enlivening selections, of puns, &c. &c. I shall, as hitherto, always remain .for them, a JOHNIAN WAITER. ANECDOTES, &c. THE COMPLAINT--DRYDEN'S wife complained to him that he was always reading, and' took little notice of her, and finished her remark with Saying, "I wish I was a book, and " then I should enjoy more oryatir company."--" Yes, my " dear," said the Poet, " I wish you were a book—but an " ilmanack, I mean, for then I should change you every cc year." ON SLEEP —Sir THOMAS BROWN informs us in his Re ligio Medici, that though he was of a most's a t urn i ne corn- . plexion, he had frequently composed comedies in his sleep, and laughed himself awake at the jests of them. He adds, that such was his opinion of the peculiar power and vigour of the soul in sleep, that if he could command her operations in such moments, he would choose them for his devotions, and for all his more important undertakings ! GALLANT BON-MOT.—A fashionable Countess, asking a young Nobleman which he thought the prettiest flower, roses or tulips? He replied with great gallantry, " Your Lady ship's two lips before all the roses in the world." A. FAULT INCANDLES.—RALPII ii - EWITZER, ordering a box of candles, said he hoped th e y wou ld b e b etter than the last. The chandler said he was very sorry to hear them com plained of, as they were as good as he could make. " Why," says RALPH, " they were very well till about half burnt doWn,' but after that they would not burn any longer." • - , THE LA‘l'E SERGEANT LENS.—This Gentleman, whose death we yesterday announced, was so de servedly distinguished in his profession, and so highly esteemed in private life, that we sincerely hope that some of his legal brethren, who are able to appreciate his attainments and render justice to his personal merits, will endeavour to pay a due tribute to his memory. He finished his edu cation at Cambridge University, and about the year' 1776 commenced his professional career in the metropolis. lie had been esteemed as an elegant scholar and a perfect gentleman before he left'his College, where he had attained the honour of being Chief Wranger. He arose by due de grees into high estimation, as a learned and elo quent Pleader,•not with any of that theatrical vehemence and affected sensibility which are too often found among the candidates for legal celebrity, but by the gradual.developement of great intellectual powers, combined with a tho rough knowledge of law and of mankind, and, however ardent in support of a cause, he always maintained that impressive amenity of manners which characterised the gentleman as. well as the powerfal advocate. It is well understood that he might have obtained:high honours in his pro fession, but •he was above all osteutation, and de clined Whatever offers of that nature were pre sented to him, as well on the ground 'of political -. consistency, as of his connections in private life. He had, a year or two ago, been visited by a severe malady, which required chi rorgical assistance, and be ivas attended by the most eminent • Medical Professors of the clay. He bore the operation that was deemed neces sary with the patience and fortitude which might be expected from a calm, firm, and resolute mind, and he rewarded the Gentlemen who attended him with a grateful and even princely liberality. The effect of the disease, and the nature of the operation, though it removed the immediate cause, gave, however, a shock to his constitution, from which he never recovered, and induced him to resign all professional pursuits. His person was an expression of his internal nature. Ile was Gentlemanly in his appearance and manners, and placid in his countenance. 4 Inc justice to his memory it may be fairly said, that the Bar never lost a more estimable member, o,• Society a more valuable ornament. HAARLEM, AUG. 8.---To.day h►s MAJESTY honoured with his presence the exhibition of the National Manufactures and that of Paintings. lIisMAJESTY spent four hours in the eXhihitiori rooms, and repeatedly expressed his satisfaction at the perfection of the• National Manufactures. The Neapolitan General PEPE, Who has for some time past resided in Brussels, is remarked only for the prudent circumspection of hiS con duct. Ile sees nobody, avoids all society, and acts in all respects as his situation.requires. It is thus the General answers the attacks directed against him. 0 .). f - '''' '''''' ': i ''''),":" •, 4- .;" --w‘L.,, _.,:,,,,,),> , ••-.

BRIGHTON; AUG. 11.—Tile Duke of YORK, a day Or two before his departure from Brighton, -entered the slap of a tradeswoman to make some purchase, and, agreeably to his constant custom, entered familiarly into conversation with her. Emboldened by-the condescension of the Duke, she ventured to ,express her attachment to his person, and . to 'assure to his Royal Highness how much " she loved and honoured him for his noble defence of the Protestant Religion." The Duke kindly assured her of his satisfaction that the course he hadfelt it his duty to pursue met with her approbation. She *then asked his Royal Highness why the King did not come to Brighton ? an interrogatory to which the Duke'deelared his in ability to give a positive reply; - and after some further dis course,' took his 'departure, leaving the.good woman not a little gratified at .the honoUr which had been conferred upon her.

SPORTING INTELLIGENCE. YORK MEETING—Tnutn DAY, WEDNESDAY. The weather in the early part of the morning was very fine, but towards the afternoon it changed, and the first race began and finished in a Innart storm- The promise of three good races, and the iiterest which attached two of them, had the effect of drawing a greater attendance of rank and f a ihi on t h an yesterday, and the display of equipages was if possible more tax merous and splendid, every one appearing to vie in giving the races a degree of local importance, pre-eminent above all other meetings; and really we think that this object has been attained to the full, for the coup irceil of the Race Course on, each of the days, has been grand and imposing in the extreme. In the fol lowing account of those present will be found names not before mentioned Grace the Duke of. Leeds • Marquis of Queensberry ; Lord s .Fit zw illi am , Scarborough, Harewood, Milton, Down; Kennedy, Kelburne, Dundas, Normanby, Bentinck ; Sirs J. Sibthorpe, W. Milner, W: N. Maxwell, J. H.

Our races have passed of: this year with scarcely any sport, owing to the late excessive heat of the weather,' which has pre vented horses corning. One heat, and' that a dead one, was all the running to-day. A pony race followed, but not worth naming. CRICKET. . A singular game was played on Tunbridge Wells Common, a few days ago, Mr: T. Srange against six Gentlemen, who in both innings scored only 23. Mr. Strange beat them in one innings by '27 runs, having scored 50. His age is 55 . . , A match was played on Wednesday last at Horsham, he. tween the Gentlemen of Ockley and Horsham, with Mr. Anscomb, of Slangham, given to the latter. Horsham (whose best player, Mr. B. Aldridge, had one of his fingers broken at the beginning of the game) scored only 27 in both innings, and Ockley upwards of 50 in one innings. A second game was then played between the same parties, with very different suc cess, fOr Horsham won by 4 runs. ECCENTRIC CIIARACTER.-There are very few who have resided long in the neighbourhood of Drury-lane that have not occasionally met with THOMAS TERRAN, better known by the name of Dr. Torn Bowling. He entered the navy as a surgeon in early life, and served in the American war, which was with him a favourite subject of conversation. Though nearly eighty years of age, he conversed with great vivacity. Not having had any medical practice, at least within the memory of his nearest acquaintance, the manner in which he procured a livelihood was involved in mystery, which he had the prudence never to remove. He solicited no aid from those with whom he associated ; arid therefore enjoyed, at least among them, the pleasure of seeming independent. There was a ludicrous ostentation about his character which some times led him to go to the expence of a shilling fare hack ney coach, in which, when he arrived at his humble lode=- ' ings, he would announce with an a i r o f i mportance that he had been visiting a patient; but the care of his own health was' the only matter that had been under his professional skill for the last half century. He frequently wore an old velvet cap, of which he seemed not a little proud. It was the only article of costly manufacture in his possession. He was sup. posed to be very poor, but appeared to enjoy life to the last, and left enough to defray the expences of a funeral. fie re sided for the last seven years Ilarford-court, Drury-lane, so obscure and secret, that, in former times, it would he suppOsed his nights were passed in searching for the philosplaer's stone ; and was buried in St. Clement's Danes on the 29th ult.

ROME, JULY 17.—The Pope having been in formed that there lived in the environs of Perouse a man 119 years old, gave orders to the Arch bishop of that Diocese to visit him; and to afford hits some assistance, as he was destitute of the.. means of existence. This respectable Prelate aCcordingly•repaired to his plai.e of abode, where he fotind the poor wretch stretched upon the floor, slightly covered with straw. His mince, it appearS, is Hypolite-Joseph-Bindo, and he in fact, 119 years and a half old,, as atek.sect.l by the register of his parish, and some p a p ers . found in his trunk. This man, in : the' midst, of the, most profound misery, still preserves all the, gaiety of his youth has a florid countenance,' and his sight and hearing are perfect. He is e x . ceedingly fond of. chatting over, a glass of lie entered into conversation with the Prelate without restraint, and when pressed by him eo quit. his hovel for a place more saleable to leis ,age r " No," said he, " I will not be unfaithful , o my, old hut, where .I have passed so many happy and peaceful years.". lafact„be would not quit it. but the worthy ecclesiastic gave him such e sum of money as will guarantee him against future want. This venerable personage has seen the holy vc,r five time, and when he was told that the 1 3 4 e had authorised the Curate of his parish to obtain the money for the expences .of the Jubi4e.by dispensations, nothing , could equal hi s joy. the most moving term& he prayed the Prelate to express all his gratitude to the . Sovereign . Pontof, who,had thus deigned to provide for the ‘,s;afits of his body and soul." • The recent accounts from recel , ,erl by private letters from Guelderland, state that the heats in that and the surrounding country have been great to a degree before seldom known, the grass being completely burnt up, ar.dithe thermometer frequently at 91 deg. '..1) the shade. The etTects of the hot weather have been so great that the cattle have every where been housed and fed in the same way as it is eustoin'ary to do in winter. There was little or no hope of .relief frern a good hay crop, the deficiency being great. SINGULAR OCCURRENCE.---Oil Tuesday last a respectable female, passing by a corn-warehouse in Price's. street, was caught under the chin by the loop of one or the ropes ascending from a cart for another bag of grain, and, by the counterpoising effect of a descending bag from aloft, was hoisted up to a perilous height before warm could be taken for her rescue. The Warehousemen judiciously stopped the hoist ing machine gently, and 'owned her into the cart. 61,e was conveyed insensible to a neighbouring house, but by medical aid recovered her recollection, with little more injury than the bruises produced by the pressure of the rope under each ear.--- (Liverpool Courier.) On Wednesday, - the Lord Bishop of iniNnori attended divine service at Paddington Church, and afterwards proceeded to the consecration of a large piece of ground, as an addition to the Church-yard. This spot was formerly. .the garden and pleasure-ground of the ancient manor-house of Paddington, and being adorned with stately timber said a va- • riety of ornamental gbrubs, presented so picturesque an appear ance as to remind us of the beautiful cemetery of Pere-la- Chaise. The Bishop was attended on this occasion by a nu merous company of the Clergy and Gentry of the Pariah and its vicinity. Yesterday se'naight, 'whilst a Gentleman. and - his son, a boy nine years old. were walking by. the side of.one of the Hampstead ponds, the boy fell into the water, at leak 26 feet deep, and the father, though a good swiMMer, was so thunderstruck that he could render his child no assistance. It fortunately happened, Mr. Newbegin, of Highgate, was ansling at some distance, and on the alarm being given he immediately ran to the spot, leaped into the water, caught the child as he was sinking for the third time, and thus saved him from a premature death. The child was taken in a senseless state to the Fox-. under-the-Hill public-house, and he was soon recovered and re stored to his disconsolate parent. We trust that this prxise - .- worthy act on the part of Air. Newbegin, will-meet the node* of the Humane Society.
