" 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.?

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.

j QUEEN"
near thesEpuotN:,
FOR N YORK.—Precisely STEAM-SHIP EW O at two
o'clock on Sunday afternoon the Blitish and Transat-
lantic steam-ship, British Queen, Lieutenant Roberts,
Commander, sailed from her moorings off the Biunsw":ck
Steam-packet Wharf. 131ackwall, for New York. 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 majestic style, against a strong flood tide, down:
the river. A great crowd of persons assembled on the
Brunswick Steam-packet Wharf, Blackwell, and on the
banks of the Thames, to witness her departure. She
takes out about MO passengers, among whom are several
French ladies and gentlemen. She has also on board a.
valuable cargo of light goods. Hcr ship letter-bag from
the General Post-office contains several thousand letters,
besides an immense number of newspapers. The British

having, with the exception of the first engineer and two,
or three others, been discharged the Company's s, „ice.
JACK SHEPHERD AGAIN.—On Monday last,
a youth named Joseph Murphy, was committed for trial
for having robbed the warehouse of Messrs. J. J. and N.
Cash, stuff-merchants. The prisoner had been in their
employ for two years, and had borne an excellent cha-
racter. He corafmed the robbery, and said be had
planned it in consequence of having read the novel of
Jack Sheppard." His fisher found the stolen property
on him anti lost no time in communicating the discovery
to the police, who were endeavouring to discover the per-
petrators of the robbery. The youth has confessed to

" This work furnishes by far the most comprehensive, as
well as the most entertaining account the public has yet re-

narrative of the events of the campaign; and his work is

and his desire and determination to tell the exact truth on all
points."—New Monthly Magazine.

NARRATIVE OF
THE CAMPAIGN OF TIE ARMY OF
THE INDUS,
IN SIND AND KAUBOOL, in IBs, 1839.
By RICHARD HARTLEY KENNEDY, ALD.,
Late Chief of the Nledical_Staff of the Bombay Division of the

Arias of the Indus.
" Dr. Kennedy is evidently a man of learning, shrewd, cir-
cumspect, and an accomplished scholar, and the result of all
this is, that he has produced two excellent volumes, full of
amusement, and of desirable information. We have, likewise,
historical disquisitions, a great deal of geological and geogra-
phical matter, many beautiful descriptions of cities and sce-
nery, and, above all, reflections upon our position, conduct,
and policy in India. We conclude with strongly recommend-
ing these volumes to general perusal."—Dispatch.
These volumes are crowded with anecdotes and descrip-
tions ; and it will be readily perceived that they are extremely
entertaining, and written in a spirit of vivacity unusual in nar-
ratives of this class. The work presents a vivid and interesting
history of one of the most important campaings in which our
Indian armo has ever been ertged."—Atlas.
