MR. DENNYSOW.

This gentleman. not more diminguished for his
fortune than the proper and beneficent axe of it,
has, we understand, been solicited to become •
candidate for the county of Surrey. Thi+ circum-
stance his more immediate friewla may lament, as
from the polished urbanity of his manners, he
must for a time be subject to much coar+e ribaldry.
to degrading solicitations, and frequent political
refusals, as well as the fatigues of • long and ective
comma. But in • political point of view, the
public will have much cause to rejoice should
Mr. Dennyson succeed, as u more unbiassed and
independent member, out who will more duly
support every popular question, or more conscien-
tioualy give his vote than hinp4.ll, will never enter
the Houseof Commons of England.

In the management of Drury-lane theatre th•
actors appear to have had the best time of it:
when they offer to lend the Committee five hundred
pounds. and the Committee are not able to give
security. would it not be kinder in Messrs. BARING
and Co. to accommrwhite those who rationally en-
tertain them every night. than to furnish money to
our 'limier. who afford us no entertainment ?

ItalyEit's race against the Painter, giving him
two minutes and • half in an hour, will take place
at Hampton Races. the first day of which is fixed
fur the 17th instant, and not the 24th, as was
originally intended. Haunt is the favourite.
Hoitsm—There are now in different parts or
England various German dealers trying to buy up
English horses at any price. and yet such iv the
scarcity of them at present, from farmers having
neglected the breeding them fur the last three Of
four years, that scarcely any of them are to be
found.

I'oLlcs.—Notwithstainling the loss of liberty by
confinement in gaol, or, in ocher words, to twiny of
the inhabitants the deprivation from consiottiong
fresh crimes. may appear • grievance, yet to society
it is frequently • benefit, and ;stamps the offenders
never enjoyed snore substantial comforts thou they
halm experienced in • gaol. On the% ground, we
believe snore frequent snoozes would not be of any
national utility, for there have been massy instances
where both crinsioala sad debtors have regretted the
day of anis. liberation.

tin the• eon nisig of the 234 instant, floe Commandant of ar-

opinions, that the tiring luau posoloced tooth an effect as to

plished with little or no loss, and which was confirmed by
every ilifermation I could (attain, I inonerliattly issued the
oecessary orders to a combined sttat•k on the gate, as well
as on the Tuolee•e Bong, and another advanced pusitiou (wills

The attack on the Jotanalt Durwasah was made mailer
my own eye; that or the Tool!see Rang by Lieuteolant-
Colonel Scott; and the other advanced position by the Ni-
gitti'll troops, unu.•r the command of Major Pitman.—
'the troops rushed fount the battery about half-past eight
o'clock, un a preemies., ted ►ignal, as did the other tan
attacks; hut I am Conceriird to state. fur his Excel_
kitty's infoimstion, that on the arrival of the Iradim:
division at the gateway, the breach was out found suf-
ficiently wile to admit of a section entering its at once,
and the enemy having taken the precaution of lining
several stone-hososo s on both sides of it, as wo II as of the

battery), with numerous pao ties of Alahs, entioely secure
Gum our fire, the troop*, after being exposed to a heavy
one for some lime, were nleigeol to take shelter in the ad-
joining compounds, front whence the attempt rig kept up:
hooting, how, err, little or 11,1 prohahility of thew being
likely to obtain possession of the gateway, I olirecollf the re-
coil of the troops to the buttery, winch wits executed slowly
snot in good order.
The attacks under Lieutenant-Colonel Scott and Major
Pittman were more successful ; but the former having ob-
tained possession of the garden, folio,' it, contrary to Wow-
'nation, too extensive and 'spotted to the Are from tot• wall
of the town to he retained but at tool great a prier, and as

Lio ',tenant Colonel Stott to resume his origioal
whirl, was elf tied also with great steadiness. 31ajoir
man's situation being now of little or sin eousequenie, he was
likewise ordered to make a similar movement, which he slid
in the same creditable manner. Although unforeeeco anal
ioteincilote obstacles opposed the success of the troops oat
this occasion, I home much pleasure in reporting, for his
Excellency's information, that the Officers and men dis-
played their honed gallantry; and I beg leave to me-
company this with a copy of the coder which it appeared to
nor prolu•r to issue on the occasion
His Excelleney will perceive, from the accompanying re-
turn, that several valuable °Memo have been semisolid (and
a very promising one lost to hat country is Lieutenant Bell,
of his Mayetty'r Royal Scots); but, with the exception sof
Lieutenant Cameron, of the Quarter- Mastev-Geneo at's De-
partment, and Lieutenant Cuull, of the Artillery, none, I
am happy to my, severely.
Our loos on the occasion has not bees so heavy as might
bare been expected, from the unknown obstacles opposed to
the success of the troops, and st is not of a nature to pro-
duce any other effect than obliging me to await the arrival
of my haltering traits, which has beta ordered to from
Akolab.—l have the Wooer to be, /se.
