ROMAN CATHOLICS. We submit to the consideration of all Friends Of our Orthodox Establishment, the following extracts from the titular Bishop of K ELLALOE'S Letter to the Secretary of the Catholic Board, inser ed in The SUN of Saturday last, as a pro(); of the manner in which a rAnsT can blow hot and cold at the same . time :—Advertin4 to the Veto, which this Bishop calls an abominable and detest able measure, he says, that " if all failed, we should protest against any power the Holy See may have to concede such a point to a Go vernment known to be proverbially hostile to the faith of our forefathers ; and a point, if car ried into effect, that will most probably ter minate in abolishing the Catholic Religion in Inland." He then adds the following Post script—" Should it be improper in me to question the authority with which his Holiness is vested in the present instance, with profound submission and obedience I bow to St. Peter's successor." So that this Bishop first inculcates Rebellion against the authority of TEITHE Pope, and 'hen pre- tends to hold hint in submission and obedience." it the Catholic Ministers of the Gospel can be KAI of this arti f ice and hypocrisy, what confi dence can safely b, placed in the general body of the Catholic World ?, THR KING'S HEALTH.--.YCSterday the follow ing Bulletin wits exhibited at St. James's P , Alace. of the state of the Ding's health, to the Nobility, Genlry, and public at large t WINDSoIt CAME, AUG. 3.—His Majesty has been ge uerally in good livaith and tranquil spirits during this last toonrh, though perhaps less uniformly than for some months lite.c.saiiag. - His Majesty's disorder has suffered no alteration.

A nountus.—Weitsave inst - rted the Letter of this Gentleman to vindication of his conduct, and as it seems to he a fair . and simple s tatement of his case, we cannot but think that the Home Circuit Club have been souteethat harsh its-ex hint from their table. It is observable that he repea - cdly avows much regret on hav;ng used one expression in relation to the origin of his adversary, and as that was a hasty effusion of rese ntment, tinder unexpected provocation, and has excited so mcch count ion in his own mind, atirel!, - it ought not to have been visited with so winch severity by the Club. for nothing else its Iris eotinuct can instill/ their sentence. But the Club will suffer a loss in Mr. Acn_Puus, not less than he will suffer in beitur-exeluded from their Society, as he possesses a wind well stored with literary and general information, and his man ners, unless he is wantonly or studiously offended, *re nr>►rked by mildness, urbanity, .and good humour.

Said I, one foggy morning, - As he threw out his line fur prey, Poor mortal folk suborning. " Not much," quoth he, " but what I have, Beyond dispute, is fair gain; With notes to shave, I've caught a knave, A miser with a bargain. To catch a needy beau, I took A draggletaird sarlratt— A would-be belle found on my hook A tempting full-dress suite. I cadght a Congressman, by dint Of double compensation; A Lawyer, on promotion bent, By timely nomination. These Lawyers are, though oft you wish (No thanks for't) Satan had The most unprofitable fish Of all the sons of Ada►n. I caught a Surgeon with a,bigh— fed subject for dissection; An Office-hunter with a lie, Well season'd for election."

" Your toper bites well at a cork, (When there's a bottle to it,) Your Jew will even bite at pork, If he smell money through it. Your old man lilies a parchment, when By mortgage some one's bitten; Your yoangster likes a fresher skin, Where yet there's nothing - written ! Some shy ones play about the line, Till prudence waxes feeble, And those at last are often mine, • Who only meant to nibble!

But there is one of all the rest, Who most employs my cook— The IDLER pleases me the best, He bites the NANED Hoot.: :" 'PEDESTRIANISM. —OD Friday last, in Mr. MANN's ground, in South -street, Sloane-square, Chelsea, the celebrated Waterloo Tom, for a bet of ten guineas, walked in a long sack, five miles in tour successive hours, the time allowed hint be ing tour hours and a halt. A Gentlemain, well known upon the turf, immediately backed him for 500 guineas to go 100 miles in ten successive days in the same sack. 'I he spot appointed is on tke Cricket ground, a quarter of a mile in and a quarter out. The Pedestrian Match of Ohi BARNET, in Lark Hall-lane, yesterday attracted some thousands of spectators, but with the greatest order and de cmiim. During the evening one -of the Surrey Magistrates, with the posse comitatis of Parish Officers, endeavoured to deter the Veteran from pursuing his walk, but some Gentleman in the neighbourhood, enquiring the legality of stopping the Pedestrian, he was suffered to proceed ; and it was suggested that on a future Sabbaths he should walk in a more retired part of tueir dis trict, natticularly during divine service, which the Magistrate highly approved of. This day at. 12 o'clock he had completed 104 miles since-Satur day's commencement, in excellent health and EXTRAORDINARY WAGER.—Saturday night a young man undertook, for a wager of 10s., to go blindfold fry's) the corner of Great St. Andrew street, Seven.dials, ,scross ‘Vaterloo Bridge, and back again to the corner of Catherine -street, with in, three-quarters of an hour. , Two persons ac companied him, to see that he did fairly, and to take care he was not run over. He was to start along Broker's-alley, Drury-larie, White Hart yard, and down Catherine-street, and he found out each. turning very cleverly. He performed his undertaking within five minutes of the given time. BAD SHILLINGS —The present coin of shillings are already counterfeited, but on examination will be found to he more bulky and clumsy than the real coin.. • On comparing the milling, instead of being regular, it inclines ott each side, and is very imper fectly imitated, and where the inside rim is rubbed, the copper appears very strongly, the head rather larger, and there is au evident difference in the chin ; but there are two sure marks which lead to the discovery—the comparion with another shilling in the size and the milling, as it is larger ; the sound will detect it immediately, being like a peace of lead. MELANCHOLY CASs.—On Saturday an Inquest was held at the Coach and Horses, opposite So merset House, Stra►►d, on view of the body of Ann Tull, a girl about six years of age. It ap peared that the girl was the daughter of a first- floor lodger at Mr. Paggett's, grocer, and that Mr. P. who was very fond of her, having requested her to pronounce the word " picture," which she did not do readily, gave her a shake, on which the girl fell on the floor in convulsions, and died a few hours afterwards. Every medical assistance was afforded by Mr. Stanton, who deposed that the body bore no marks of violence. A lodger deposed that Mr. Paggett, on her coining in, seas greatly affected, and exclaimed, " Oh, I am atraid 1 have shook the child's neck nut." It was deposed that he pain her every attention. The foreman of. the Jury thought the verdict ought to be manslaughter, but a majority being against it, a verdict of--." Died by the Visitation of God" was received. INDIA. On Friday evenio s , a.ebes wave received overland from Bombay, dated 22d March, which state that the strong tort of Uattrass had surren dered to the force under Colonel AIassHALL. A Congreve rocket blew up the magazine with a terrible explosion and loss of lives to the garri son. This calamity produced the capture of the place. The following particulars are copied front a paper of yesterday:— " Late on Friday evening overland dispatches were received at the India-house from the Gover nor of Bombay, dated March 22, and commuiii eating the important intelligence of the takiwg of the fortress of HattrasS by the British army. The circumstances which led to this event were as fol low :—A chief, named Rio Doss, had for some time past manifested a spirit of restlessness and encroachment towards the British ; and, by tak ing possession of this strong fortress, flis hostile designs against the British possessions bordering on the Mahratta territories became obvious. Re monstrances and explanations proving unsatis factory, recourse was had by our Governmet.t to more effectual measures, by prompt and sigorio.s military operations. Our army, composed of Bri tish and native troopa, immediately took the field, under the command of Colonel Marshall, an ofiS cer of high military reputation. Arrived before the -place, he summoned it to' surrender ; hut the enemy, confiding in his strength and means of defence, refused to capitulate. It was then de termined to carry it by storm. A heavy bons• barthnent was commenced ; and 11P. Congreve rockets were used with terrthle effect : one .f which, failing on the magazine., occasi,ned tre mendous explosion, accouwa. , ied with t shock like that of an earthquake. Several of out tro o ps were thrown to the ground on t- it faces barks ; but they sustained no imtt...riA! injury. It was tar other , vise with. h.the garrison of Hatinlsl,, among whom the explosion causefl iumiruse ha voc. Nombers of thvm were dest , (med. oor loss by the fire of the enemy was inconstdr , abiC. Courthind was the only officer ‘‘outuled. The Bombay Governin , an li,sd not received the official accounts.; but the substance of the here given ‘Va3 communicated to (hit Goverument by a private letter, and may, therefore, having been made the subject of an overland dispatch, he consideted authemic. The conduct of Scindiab, in the co:Tntenance he bad given Rio Doss, in his hostile dispositions towards the British, is much blamed." YOUNG WATSON'S LETTER. Our Readers will recollect, that when we al hided to the letter inserted in a Morning Paper, said to have been addressed by this young Rebel to his Mother, since Ii is' departtire front this Conn. try, we trrated „it as a mere lubrication, and the subjoined :mirk justifies. our opinion. Indeed, it seems probable that he is still in this Comm v, and that the letter in question was a device to perplex the scent " The following note has been addressed by the Captain of the vessel in which it was said Youn t ; lVatson had been con veyed.to America..-It would not surprise us to find I hit the whole of - the letter circulated some time ago as from Young Watson to his Mother, was a fabrication for the pur! , ose of lulling tie vigiiinee of the Police,and facilitating his ei canal escane from the place of his concealment : Litt,—The statement which appeared in the Newspapers respecting the escape of Young Watson to America. as pas senger in the Venus of New York, which co.rmand, and did, command on the voyage alluded to, is in all respects wrong. I beg leave to . inform you, that no such oers , n Young Watson went out in my ship, the Venus, of New York; nor do I believe him to hive arrived in America.
