MORE OF MRS. CLARKE.
We mentioned in a paragraph, yesterday, that
Mr. WRIGHT had published a tedious and very
unnecessary letter, in answer to Mr. W ABDUL'S
charges. Another hero and candidate for episto-
lary fame has entered the lists, in the person of Sir
RICHARD PHILLIPS, Kilt.
His letter is as follows :--
TO THE EDITOR OF THE BRITISH PRESS.

introductioa of yin saasept of published by M.. Fran-

an appropriate oath or two, " I'll rust the fellows

du such a wicked thing as to destroy so many poor
people's lives." " Yes. but I will." exclaimed
the Master." 10 I would not," replied the Quaker,
" for die world ; but I will tell thee what, fries.!,
if I wus inclined to do such a thing, I would star-
board my helm." The Master did starboard the
helm, and the boat war ran down, The Learned
Serjeant repeated, that the object of the Defendant
and the Gentlemen of the Berkeley Club was to
preserve the foxes, to order to hunt them ; eery
like raising the devil for the purpose of laying kiwi.
After some other general remarks, lie coocloded
by expressing his perfect confidence, that the ver-

Lord EI.I.CIIIIOROUOH interrupted the further
progress of the cause, observing, that it was a con-

it be supposed that Gentlemen hunted for the punt

Could the Jury he th sired to say, upon their oaths,
that the Defendant was actuated by any other
motive than a de ,ire to enjoy the pleasurta of the
chase had sighed to suffer the cause to go
to a certain ..strut, before he expressed his opinion
upon the subject. Evest if the dogs might he al-
loeed to rout, was there any pretence for suyin,,a
that where the dogs did not go, any lierson could
ride mid break down the fences? The Defendant
said, that he had not committed the trespass fur the
sake of the diversion of the chase, but as the only
effectual way of lolling and destroying the foe
now, could any man of common sense hesitate
in saying, that the principal motive was not the
killiag vermin, but the sport? It was a sport this,
