To enter into the details of these affections, to point out their causes, and to mark the terrific consequences, social, moral, and physical, which are sure to follow from indulgence, in certain habit would be entirely out of place in an advertisement. We have no hesitation, however, in saying that'there is no member of society, by whom the hook will not be found interesting, whe ther we consider such person to hold the relation of a PA RENT, a PRECEPTOR, or a CLERGYMAN. The PARENT, also beholds his beloved child pining away, and fast approaching to a premature grave, in consequence of some disease, which for want of a careful investigation of its real cause, has been set down to the score of consumption, will, on pe4using this work be astonished to find that in nine tenths of the cases of young persons of both sexes, who perish of what is called pulmonary consumption, heart disease, tabes, &c., the sole and exclusive origin has been the indulgence in certain destructive habits, practised by youth much more fre quently than is at all suspected. The PRECEPTOR, also, who holds temporarily, at least the relation and responsibility of a parent, will, by perusing this work, be directed, and very much assisted in investigating and detecting the too often concealed practices so often introduced into schools, whereby the health and ultinistely the lives of his pupils are sure to be compromised, unless the evil be checked in proper time. He will here find a clue to guide him through the intricate mazes of this moral labyrinth, and a standard whereby to judge, when delicacy of health should appear to attack any of his young charges, what the rear_ cause of such attack may be, and thus he will be enabled to check the evil in its incipient state. The CLERGYMAN, in whose sacred character, is at once concentrated the twofold relation of parent and instructor, will here be directed as to the nature of those habits, to which r youth is addicted ; he will also be enabled to point out the disastrous consequences which are sure to follow from them, if nut relinquished. Messrs. CURTIS and CO. are to be consulted daily at their residence," No. 7, Frith-street, Soho, from Ten till 1 hree, and, Five till Eight in the Evening; and Country Patients are re quested to be as minnte as possible in the detail of their cases, —as to the duration of the complaint, the symptoms, age, ge neral habits of living, and occupation in life of the party ; the communication must be accompanied by the " usual Consulta tion Fee of 1/.," without which no notice whatever can be taken of their application ; and in all cases, the most inviolable secrecy may be relied on.

Witness has given strict orders: for no person to see him, except his immediate .attendants. Cannot say he is wholly out of danger, and considers that his evidence should be taken at the Angel, in preference to a crowded Court. The prisoner did not wish'to ask any questions. The jacket that the prisoner left at the Unicorn at Shrewsbury, was here produced by Superintendent ' Lewis, of the Rural Police. • It is of a small check pattern, and very much the worse for wear. The MaYou•stated that he could not close the iti quiry into this horrible affair without further examina tion of the wounded man. He would, therefore, re mand the prisoner until Wednesday week, when the examination would take place at the Angel Inn, and then adjourn to the Court, when he hoped to be able to dispose of the case finally.

SPORTING INTELLIGENCE. TATTFRSALL'-YESTERDAY. The muster yesterday afternoon was quite as numerous as we usually meet at the Corner a fortnight before " the race;" but we have seldom or ever known business so fiat. Launce lot was, as before, the lion of the day ; 6to 4 was taken to about one hundred, besides other bets, the highest offering price at the breaking up between that first mentioned. Gib raltar was backed at sto 1 in fifties (afterwards offered), and 500 to 200 laid even on the two against the field. -We have quoted- Crucifix at It) to 1, simply be cause three or four parties professed themselves willing to back her at a point above it ; we suspect, however, that the disposition to invest was not very strong—an opinion strength. e- by the bets on two above stated.

FOUR-OA RED CUTTER MATCH. —The young tradesmen and mechanics who compose four-oared cutter crews yes terday had a very spirited contest for a wherry with a new pair of sculls, oars, &c., for the first prize, and five silver medals for the secant.* boat. Chandler, of the Ship Ta vern, Milbank, the donor on this occasion, was partially re- Mi,ursed for the outlay by an entrance fee from each person who rowed. The match was in three heats, with eight boats, and the following the competitors :—The Champion, florselydown, pink ; D. Haily, M. Casson, J. Good, W. Mahoney ; coxswain, W. Clark.

The four first of these contended far the first heat, and the remainder for the second, the two first boat:. of each being entitled to row in the grand heat. After some good sport, in which all did their best, green, brown, and red started at a quart:er past seven for the grani heat, the dicrince being from the Ship. round a boat moored near flungerford-stairs, up to Vauxhall-bridge, and back to Chandler's. Brown took tho lead and main tained it throughout, winning l.y three lengths only; red, who had a hard strugle with them, were second. There was an imm«nse concourse of spectators. From Sir Anthony Carlisle, F.R.S., President of the Royal College of Surgeons, and Senior Surgeon to the Westminster Hospital ;—" Mr. E. Solomons' Spectacle Lenses seem to me likely to afford additional aids to imperfect vision ; and, because of their superior refracting power to glass, or other dense materials, they promise to afford new resources for the construction of spectacles.—Anthony Carlisle, F.R.S, Langham-place." From Bransby Cooper, Esq., F. R. S., Sur gTon to Guy's Hospital, &c. From the use I have made of the Patent Lenses, and comparing theni with those in ordinary glasses, I have no hesitation in saying that to my sight the former are infinitely preferable, in being less trying to the eyes."—Bransby B.

From J. G. An. drews, Esq., Senr. Surgeon to the London Hospital.—" I have much pleasure in hearing testimony to the value and import ance of Mr. E.

Observe, No. 36, Old 13owl-street ; au No. 1, Old Jewry, Cheapside NARRATIVE OF THE CAMPAIGN OF THE ARMY OF 7'HE INDUS. 2 Vols. Bentley, London, 1840. The late campaign of the army of the Indus, in 'Sind and Kaubool, under the command of Lord Keane, which was attended with such brilliant re sults to the British arms; is detailed with much suc cinctness in these volumes, which are time production of Dr. Kennedy, who acted as Chief of the Staff of the Bombay Division of the expedition ; and has recorded his personal reminiscences in a Diary', which was jotted down froth day to day, while the events it relates were yet fresh in his mind. To wards the close of 1838 the Division to which he was attached quitted Bombay harbour, and after a short' voyage reached the Hujamry mouth of the Indus, where the soldierqisembarked. They were compelled, however, to make a longer halt than had been calculated on, in ccipsequence of the want of camels; but these being,At length provided, they set' forward on their tedious land-march, meeting by the way with various distressing contingencies, such as the deativof several of the troops from cholera, and theindispositio n of others from fatigue—to say n othing of such minor miseries, as the loss of many of their camels; the intolerable clouds of dust in the more desert tracks over which they passed ; and the incessant robberies perpetrated on them by the natives whd harassed them at every step of their progress. The Division, however, boldly braved all obstacles, and on their fourtjs march reached Tatta, which was once a city of great consequence, both as 'regards wealth and population, and of which Dr "Kennedf saiss . is very impo s in g ; th e 1 in; Their ce which may thably be forrOcd of ifiV qehris of the an c ie nt oupa rising ground ?-Itta . or swen, with abundant u a g ' reen ; and the s S i c o a o t d te o r t e , d ta t rh re a c r s i , s et:a k .4 947 , 1fel li n i c ei c 3 r1: tectural character of 'the houses, with flat roofs, ruild pro- 'city. nder- Dyer- sopping the trees of the rising ground in successive stages, formed altogether as fine a picture of city scenery as , I remember to liac seen in India ; excepting, in deed; the first 'view of Brbach, which, in my opinion, is unequalled anywhere. But Tatta, like Broad, has now no fcrthcr interest, except in its history, extending into the age of fable, N scanty population,aindee two thousand souls, is scattered about its ruins in mud-built hovels ; what were once the palaces of the Mogul nobility are now desolate and unoccupied ; and the river, which once flowed under its walls, now rolls at four miles distance to the eastward. A more perfect picture of decay cannot well be imagined.--Nothing that I have ever seen has at all equalled the perfection .of the art of brickmaking, which is shown in the bricks to be found in these ruins ; the most beautifully 'chiselled stone Could not surpass the sharpness of edge, and angle,.and accuracy of form ;. whilst the subitance was so perfectly homogeneous and skilfully burned,, that each brick had a metallic 'ring, and fractured with a clean surface, like breaking free -stone. I will not question the possibility of making such bricks in Eng land, but I much doubt whether such perfect work has ever been. attempted." Soon after leaving Tatta, the Division was in-' formed by the natives that the enemy was advancing in overwhelming force against them ; this, however, turned out to be a false report, set purposely about i by s a the s e o S n i n dc di t oo whichauw n s t e, nature." r o t o nf ss whom, g tt Theyhmhe their r e s lxl ay aetrxer s o slightest extent arrived elur halting-place, and dn u t gt population, _r Sun,opo p r i au , el opposition ae " o, y t nti and n g awretiltAilerouuomtfre)a, an first saw the Pulla Fishery on the Indus, a piscatory pursuit which' more nearly reduces the human form divine into. an aquatic beast of prey than Isaak Walton, or any disciple of the gentle craft could nave contemplated by the silver .Thames.

The_ fish we saw averaged twenty inches in length, and might weigh a pound and a half or nearly two pounds ; the shoals are migratory, and ascend the river as far as Bukka betwixt January and April. The natives ima gine that they travel thither on a religious pilgrima g e to the shrine of Kajuir Kizr ; and gravely assure us, that on swimmieg round the holy islet and shrine of the Sal.. t, they followed our St. James's Court etiquette, where no courtier's back can possibly be turned upon sacred roy alty ; and that the poor pilgrim fishes never presented their tails towards the hallowed footstep-place of the Saint, till fairly round and back again past the islet." As the Division advanced further into the Sind district, it was subjected to the most batwing exactions by the natives, as it was supposed,: at the suggestion of the rulers of the country. The ba zaar prices were everywhere quadrupled, and the servants and followers of the expedition were re duced almost to ,starvation by prices higher than had ever before been heard of in India -; and this, too, in a country proverbial for its cheap markets and abundance of grain and forage. The Division, too, was daily and hourly plundered by the inha bitants, who exhibited uncommon faculties of ap propriation, and were so expert at their work, that it ..vas found almost impossible to take any effectual precautions against them. Enraged at such re pa t e a le e I d ) g r t o h b t b o e r m i e a s k , e t h a e s C e v o e m r e m a e n x d a e m r -pi h le, thetef resolved . lars of which are thus detailed : " Every day was now destined to have its catastrophe ; ten Beloochies had been summarily executed on this ground by Colonel Sandwith, of the first regiment of Native Cavalry, under written orders from Sir John Keane, as his Excellency passed with the Bengal co lurna. The first order was a verbal one ; but Colonel Sandwith, not liking it, repaired a written one, and re ceived it on half a sheet of note-paper. He has had the wisdom to preserve it. The poor wretches had their elbows secured, and were made to sit on the ground, when each had a bullet sent through his brain from a carbine. Lieutenant Loch, the officer who superintended the execution, spoke very feelingly of what. he had been no willing agent in. .Some of them, he said, sat quietly down and submitted to their fate ; some resisted, and, to keep them quiet, the execution-party fastened their heads together by their long luxuriant hair, w hi c h served to secure them for their destruction. Two young lads seemed horrified to bewilderment by their fears, and implored for mercy, seizing the feet and knees of the cityetedly superintending officer ; but they were made to sit down. Ere the fatal volley exploded they were endeavouring to embrace, leaning their heads against each other, weep ing'' bitterly their last farewell. This was sad work, an of Kandahar, did no good : we were robbed, and our camels stolen Lt every stage." w h O e r t e l t arrivingthe d ivi s ilow, halt, Dr. Kennedy was much surprised at the manner in which the apartments of one of the principal aton madethe t ancient unexpectedly e houses in the citadel were decorated. " The walls," he observes, ~ had a novelty of decoration not pe culiar to Aff g hanistah, as I have seen it in India, though never so we ll done as in the rooms I speak of ; the chunam or plaster being stamped v: hen moist and plastic, and worked into a pattern, over which a varnish of powdered talc i, spread, which more nearly rese mbles the richness and hue of new and unused frosted silver plate, than any thing I have seen elsewhere. This might be introduced in Lon don--a very cheap and elegant drawi n , g t oom decora tion." Though once a place of some importance, Kandahar is DOW little better than a ruin. But such is the case with most of the ancient cities that figure in Indian history. The hand of time has pressed heavily upon them, but man has committed Still , greater ravages. Every where may be seen proofs of the dreadful devastations occasioned by war. Majestic ruins of temples, palaces, fortresses, shrines, and mausoleums of mighty kings and con querors, compared with which some of the proudest structures of Europe shrink ; into .nsignificance, rivet the traveller's gaze in all directions, and force on his mind sad con sid erations of the con vulsions to w hi c h the East has from time rnmemorial been subject. A more impressive homily than ever was preached from the pulpit, tray be read in the deserted streets of Kandahar, and the stupendous ruins of that queen of cities, imperial Delhi. It is a mere truism to say that cities, like individuals, must have their periods of growth and decay, and that what Babylon now is, our own vaunted London must one day be; but throughout the vast extent of India, man has uni formly anticipated the work of time ; it is not age that has shattered - the walls of Hyderabad, and bid rank weeds spring up in the fallen shrineS of the Moguls at Delhi ; but the destroying power of the conqueror. His is the hand that has levelled to the dust the majority of- the finest cities in India ; and in ,no other quarter of the globe has he left such terrible proofs of his malign influence. Ater a two months stay at Kandahar, the Divi sion set forward again on their toilsome march ; and on the road to the town of -Nourek, Dr. Ken nedy, and his friend, the Reverend G. Pigott, were witnesses.of.this singular phenomenon We found the bushes, near the bank of the river, covered with clouds of a large-sized, bright-brown itt. sect oflhe dragon-fly tribe, buzzing about and merrily enjoying their brief existence. While sitting, together, we observed a scaled reptile creeping up the tent wall ; at u, certain height it stuck, and appeared sbortly'to be undergoing sundry throes and Convulsions, which were sufficiently marked to attract our attention ; finally, the scaly coat of the creature burst, and an enclosed winged insect very slowly, extricated itself from its husky tenement, and gradually developed its gauzy wings, a very differeat figure from the reptile on whose flimsy tram parent shell it remained perched. It was one of the merry, noisy dragon flies, and this appeared to be its winging time. How long it remained ere it took to flight we did not observe ; but the period that elapsed betwixt its being a creeping thing on the tent-wall, and its shaking off its earthly coil to expand its transparent wings for the regions of air, was less than two hours. Who would not envy such a translation from . earth to heaven --These—brol.vujusee.4,4ppeared, however, to hive little that was envi*ble in their lot ; they were falling by thousands into the river, and shoals of fish were busy devourin g them. Our anglers had much amusement, as our camp was always on the bank of the river. Two of them, while pursuin g their sports, obit e rvin g two natives standin g knee-deep in water in a zomcwhat unusual marine:, approached them, tri-tatislS7 their eu-iosity,'on' which they fled precipitiliely. ; -and, on:itieir movin g , the body of one of our followers whom they had murdered, and on which they were standing, to keep it out of sight unol the gentlemen •should have passed, 'rose to the surface, and was rolled over fl)y.the stream. The mur derers, I believe, escaped." . The, Division was now approa - ching Gbizni, the most important frontier fortress of Kaubool, and were struck with admiration of the , scenery that surrounded:them. Winding streams, dayk green. fields, valleys studded . with_thriving villages, and. enriched with luxuriant orchards, ilumerous hill§, ,topic abrupt and precipitous, and .others ascending ; gradually, presented a delightful contrast to the country tbey had so lately 'passed.' - The vineyard's' and grapes of Kaubool eenddd greattv to enhance .their sense of enjoyment ; brit , indeed the camp was deluged with all .sorts of the. roost delicious fruits ; and the soldiers purchased,. for the merest trifle, heaps of the juiciest and' largest apples ; peaches ter inches in circumference, and weighing nine ounces ; ..and plump, fleshy, dark-purple grapes, each of. which was an inch and a half' in length. After the capture of Ghizni, where " a booty was divided of twenty•five thousand pounds," the army ! remained in Kaubool, till affairs were put into a train' of settlement, and then slovdY set out on their return home. " Orr our second march," says,Dr. Kennedy, " we halted on:the same ground we ; had occupied on our toad Fro Ghizni ; and, on reaching it, two skeletons were, accidentally. stumbled on, to which were still clinginglattered relics distinctly indicating that they were the bones of our men ; the marks NI violence were too evi dent. A strange occurrence had taken place, for a wild pigeon had built her nest,; and laid her eggs, in the cavity of one of these skeletons !" Deviat ing from their former route, the army passed along the bank of the' celebratA .Aubistad Lake, " marching," observes our author, " full fifteen miles in length, in sight• of it,' and never once seeing across'it. It looked like an inland sea, and one felt surprised not. to see the white sails. of corn- 1 rnerce or pleasure on its expansive waters." On I their next halt, after quitting this lake, some light fingered natives made free with the baggage of the soldiers,- but being dete - c - tedrfittii - -71nte deliclo, they 1 • were,senteuced to a _wholesome . flagellation. Wet,l subjoin an account of the puniShment of the chief marauder,:— " When tied up according to military etiquette for r _Tanishment_ his :Tau .4)1. lett+4---cxc.,..l.cd—all—daserip tion. He roared out his prayers to all the patriarchs and all the prophets, and rang the changes on Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, and Ishmael, and Moses, and Elias, and the Mahomedan prophets and saints, with a frightful rapidity of utterance, and a horror-stricken paleness of countenance, and protruded parched tongue that was ghastly beyond all I ever witnes,ed. When tiol up he looked round for the executioner and the sword, which he firmly believed was to sever his head from his body ; but when the drummers commenced applying ! the lash, and he was distinctly assured that a few square inches of skin was all that he had to lose, the change in , the animal's countenance and demeanour was antipo dicall It was clear that he could stand " a hundred lashes administered in the usual way, on the bare back," i without the aid of Moses and the prophets ! He grinned grimly enough, but his terrors were at an end ; and there was a re-lighting up of his glazed eye, and a colour returned to his ashy cheeks and lips, that made him appear another man. I never saw the fear of death so painfully displayed, and bodily pain so clearly proved to be a minor suffering compared to mental agony."_ Raving trespassed beyond our usual limits, we must now bring our notice of Dr. Kennedy's vo lumes abruptly to a close. His work is interest ing, bat this rather from the freshness and variety of his incidents, than from any particular charm in his narrative. His style is careless, sometimes ungrammatical, and he possesses little or nothing of that picturesque power which impart:3 such zest to description. Throughout his volumes we feel the want of a quick and ardent fancy. Though he passed through one of the most extraordinary countries in the world, visited some of the most striking ruins in India, was present at a siege, and witnessed its results, yet such is his defective mode of description, that his narrative takes but a slight hold on the imagination. It is read one day, to be forgotten the next. We must protest, too, against our author's occasional flippancy ; and the spleen —to give it no stronger term—that is apparent in several portions of his work. To sum up our cri ticism in one word—Dr. Kennedy has tried hard to produce a dull, unreadable book, but such were the richness and abundance of the materials at his command, that he has failed in accomplishing his object. On a future occasion, he will probably be more successful. LORD A. B. CoNyNGHAm, Al.P.—Many con tradictory rumours have at times prevailed respecting the health of Lord Conyngham. The truth is, we be 1i( ye, that his general health is usually good, but an affection of the heart causes cn the least excitement great suffering and danger. This is the sole cause of his wishing to retire from public life, which he will do whenever his friends can be prevailed on to relinquish his services.—Kent Herald. AGNES STRICKLAND'S " LIVES OF THE QUEENS OF ENGLAND.—The third volume of Miss Striek land's charming work, concluding the Lives of the Anglo Norman and Plantagenet Queens. has just appeared. The public will have no cause to complain of the sl:ght delay in the publication of this volume when they learn that it is to be attributed to the time requited in making use of the many interesting historical documents in the Royal Archives of France, and the MS. Collections of Nor mandy and Lorrailie, which have been rendered available to the author by the kind assistance of his Excellency M. Guizot, MM. Lefevroit, Abel Hugo, Mlle. Fontaine, and several other learned friends. The " Lives" comprised in the present volume arc those of Isabella of Valois, surnamed the Little Queen, second Queen of Richard 11. ; Ininna of Navarre, Queen of Henry IV. ; Katharine of Valois, surnamed the Fair, Consort of Henry V. ; Margaret of Anjou, Quern of Henry VI. 1. Elizabeth Woodville. Queen of Edward IV. ; Anne of Warwick, Queen of Richard 111. The interest of Miss Strickland's work increases with every volume. As a book of mingled historical instruction and amusement for the young it is almost without a parallel. From Henry Cowper, Esq., of Tewen-waters, Herts, to Messrs. S. and B.

The Spectacles and Hand glass which you have sent me are very excellmt, and suit my sight precisely, and surpass anything of the kind I have ever tried ; the transparency of which is so brilliant, that although I have passed my troth year, the 22d of May last, yet they en able rr,os to read, &c., by candle-light with the greatest ease and comfort to myself.--Gentlemen, I return you my best thanks, and remain your most obedient servant, HENRI' Cowczn.-22d of June, 1839.-39, Albemarle-street, and 76, King William-street, Bank.

Jones, was produced at this theatre last evening, under the title of Spartacus ; or, The Roman Gladiator. Of the real history of Spartacus little is known, save that he was a Thracian, and one of the gladiators who were kept at Capita, from „which city he escaped with a few follOwers, soon found himself at the head of an army, and raised the standard of revolt against the Romans. Having defeated them in several pitched battles, he was at length him self defeated and killed, falling upon a heap of Romans whom he'had 'sacrificed to his fury. The incidents of this story are of a charac ter imitientlr:driniatic, and - yet . tt.il - story itself sufficiently vague to give ample scope to the work ings of a poetical imagination ?, ili.. Jones has _treated his ,subject in ayery artist-like . manner, and has been '• rewarded, mo s t d eser V e dly,"by complete ricer's. "The-first whit a view of the 'era's. of Biltititi,..a tiainer‘of gladiators at Capua ; and 13atiattts and , his friends arc discovered super intending the exercises of,the'.gladiatord., Batiatus, for some neglect of his : exercises, orders Spartacus to be scourged on the morrow, and he goes with his friendsto the' feast. 'Spartacu s and thegladia tors meanwhile determlnerto take advantage of the feasting of Batiatus to assert their freedom, and in this resolve they are confirmed by Camilla, the wife of Spartacus, a prophetess, ,who bids them " Rise all, rise now, the time is ripe." The rising ' proves successful, Batiatus is killed, and Spartacus .and his followers retire to Vesuvius, where by stra tagem he defeats Glaber, the Roman lirretor. Glaber's . defeat ends the first act. In the second act we' find Cannicius and Castus, officers in the army of Spartacus, plotting his destruction. Can nicius, out of the mere envy which is the charac teristic of, every mind of small abilities but large ainbition ; and Castus, out of the unholy lore he bears Camilla. To accomplish their pur poses they determine to take advantage of.-the superstition of Spartacus,. who is, as they phrase it, constantly " dreaming.;" and by,myste nous voices, and false auguries,. work him to their purpose. They are, inteirtipted hyHa summons to the council, assembled for 'the purpoie of receiving a herald from. ItOrile,'"who' proposes froth certain Patricians,. whose :relatives -are prisoners in the Gladiators' camp, an armistice and cartel of ex chancrbe. To this Spartacus replies in t h e follow • which .

The third act opens in the Sibyl's cave, and Castus and Cannicius unseen, and personating the Sibyl, work so upon the superstitious nature of Spartacus, as to induce him to suspect his wife has wronged him, and prefers his friend Crixus. In consequence, he despatches Crixus on a distant expedition to the Gargan mountains. The Sibyl comes to him, and offers to clear up the mystery if he will swear not to march on Rome. He swears, and the Sibyl conducts him to her cave, where he arrives just in time to save Camilla from the at tempts of Castus. Castus and Cannicius leave the camp with their followers, and Spartacus retires upon Rhegium, where he in vain attempts to obtain a passage into Sicily for his forces. He here learns the defeat and death of Crixus, whom he had sacrificed to his unfounded jealousy. He is besieged in Rhegium by Crassus, from whence he escapes, but only to be forced by his rebellious soldiery into an engagement, in which he falls, overwhelmed by numbers, Camilla killing herself on his body, The applause at the falling of the curtain was considerable, and there was not a single dissentient, and, what was better still, the applause was well deserved. It was a good play, well acted in the principal characters. Mr. Saville, as Spartacus, exhibited a classical taste for the possession of which we did not before give him credit ; his declamation was beautiful. Mrs. H. Vining, as Camilla, was shrillingly impassioned ; in the last scene she was exquisitely pathetic. The author is under great obli tions to this lady. Mrs. W. Daly, as the Sibyl, had little to do, but that little she did well. The scenery was excellent, and everything that could be done for the piece, putting it on the stage, has been done. The spectacle of Jane of the Hatchet, the attraction of which seems undiminished, followed I The house was crowded to excess. UNIVERSITY INTELLIGENCE.

TO THE RIGHT HON. THE MARQUIi, OF NORMANBY, SECRETARY OF STATE, HOME OFFICE. My Lord—l lately received a letter from the Rev. J. Jenkinson, a Baptist minister, of Kettering, in North amptimshire. The letter was accompanied by several .tracts—one entitled " The Church and its Exactions." The Chaplain of the gaol detained the latter on the ground that it " abused the Church." .My Lord—l am a Dissenter. The tract in ques tion was sent me by a Dissenting Minister. I am con vinced it contains nothing blasphemous or immoral. It merely points out what Dissenters conceive to he the " EXACTIONS " of a Church upheld by arything but the pure Gospel of Jesui Christ. The Chaplain informs me that he has forwarded that tract to your Lordship, and that your Lordship has decided " I ortqlit not to receive it ;" and, further. that your Lordship "lies thought fit to detain it." To the fiat of your Lordship 1 am compelled to, submit. My .Lord—l. believe that Dissenting Ministers are permitted, by law, to visit prisoners ; and, of course, to supply them with such books as may be favourable to their peculiar religious opinions. My Lord—l, in common with the great body of the Dissenters, bold that the Church of England is founded idtrror, and that it is supported by FORCE and FeAon, and that it is the duty of all lovers of the Gospel of Christ to expose the Church system, and to resift -its unchristian power. Christianity is seriously di,graelkl by the proceedings of our Law Church. . ~~ •My Lord-1 shall no longer " coNFonm" by attend-''' ing the Gaol Church.

Colonel Broiler, one: of the Members .for liiikeuny, apPears• t io the 'Papers ct to day/ . 7 " B Ilycon ra , Aug. :12, 1840. aMy Dear Sir —Having 4e - en by your jriarrial cf this ,day an announcement that the meeting of the province of Leioster is to take place, on the subject of the repeal of. the Union, in Kilkenny, in three weeks, I feel that I would not be justified, as irrepresentative of the county, 'iti - Withholding any longer from my con-- stituents the view I take of the subject ; therefore, I thus address. you for their information. • ... "As my opinions are well known the subject 'of the repell of the Union as a measure which I have ever considefed alisOlittely necessary to secure the per 'WellarO'of Ireland, I trust my friends will not feel disappointed at my declining to attend the meet;- ing in question, and that they will not consider that my opinions oil . that all-important question are in the slightest degree altered, when I candidly confess to them that I have very great doubts as to the soundness of the policy in agitating the matter in the manner pres cribed, and certainly I cannot perceive the least chance of a successful result from so doing. " I really am extremely sorry that I cannot harbour the same sanguine hopes that many of our most talented and truly pattintic fellow-countrymen do on this sub ject ; but the fact is, .the success of the present repeal agitation is completely above my comprehension, for I believe, in the first instance, that there-is not a single member of the present Administration who'ivill give his support to the measure should it again be brought be fore. the House,' and in the next I am 'perfectly well convinced that it will not receiv,e the support (perhaps with the exception of two or three individuals) of any of the English, Scotch, or Weleli'Members ; and surely it is too ridiculous to suppose that the mere enroiment of names as repealcrs, and the collection of their sub:' -- seription, can have the slightest effect in any way in making the opponents of the question take a less hos tile view of the subject. " I am free to confess that I am totally misinformed on this subject ; but if the object be - to embarass the present Administration, or any future one equally op posed to the repeal of the Union, surely there ought to • be an open declaration to that effect, for then the re presentatives of the people would know what was ex pected •-• from them ; however, as no declaration of. the kind Las been made, or indeed, any other from which a reasonable prospect of success could be anticipated, I would not feel justified in taking any part in die pre sen-Viigitation, and more partiOntrtrso as-Hear-4? can . only end in disappointment. " The fact is, I consider that so long as the Irish re peal Members arc expected by their cc ristit.nents to act as the partisans of, any particular party in the Home a U. coons opposed to the Repeal of the Union, it is idle to--...q.aaLaoy progress can be 'mule towards obtaining that most desirabfe ohieet ; if they were instructed by their constituents' to look alone to the interests of their own country, fifty or sixty staunch Repeaters, by pursuing a steady course, might at length convince their opponents that an Itn, perial Parliament was not the one best calculated to transact the business of Great Britain and Ireland. " Believe me, my dear Sir, your's, most sincerely, " PIERCE BUTLER.? _ _ _ " C. Maxwell, Esq.. &c." - The World ccntends that " this is a fair and manly view of the subject, and should feel much surprised it it have not the effect of causing Mr. O'Connell and the Repeal Association to alter a resolution which must strike every rational individual as extremely absurd." h the News Lefler ; whose general politics are libe ral, we find the following :—" It is matter of astonish ment that a Member of Parliament so respectable as Mr. H. Grattan, should have given in his adhesion to the Repeal humbug." The Kerry Examiner publishes a detailed stat,ment respecting the expulsion of tenantry horn the estatir of the late Lord Ventre in that county. The total num ber of persons turned out upon the road-side from this estate is 233. The emigrant vessel for Adelaide sailed from Cove on Saturday morning, which took out Captain Bigot, of Ennis, and 200 labourers. Captain Bagor goes as the agent of Sir Montague Lowther Chapman, of West meath, who has purchased a considerable tract of land in that flourishing colony. It is not true, as stated in the Limerick Chronicle, that Lord Stanley was received by his entliztsia.vir tenantry at Ballykisten, Tipperary, the seat of that no bleman, and for the very best reason in the world, viz., that he has not come over to Ireland at all, but remains at some country seat in England. enjoying the autumnal festivities.—Limerich Reporter.

A re port had been circulated to the effect that as the British Queen was still under seizure, in consequence of the late smuggling transactions on board, she would not be per mitted to sail for New York until the Commissioners of Customs had adjudicated upon the Case ; but this proves to be erroneous, the Company having, it rumoured, pre viously satisfied the Board that they would hold themselves• responsible, whatever may be the final decision of the Commissioners in the case. Accordingly, at two o'clock, the signal-gun for starting was fired 4,0 m her larboard side, and in less than two minutes the British Queen, with her poop crowded with passengers, was to be seen pro ceeding in maj e stic style, against a strong flood tide, down: the river.
