DODDRIDGE'S CORRESPONDENCE.--The
concluding volumes of Dr. Doddridge's Correspondence,
tiac u loghis
cl* Sacramental Meditations, lately published,
will be read with more satisfaction than any of the pre-
ceding. We have now Dr. Deddridge presented in his
true character. A sound scholar and an accomplished
divine, devoting heart and soul to the labours of his rot-
"try, and dedicating his great acquirements to the service
of religion; adorning the doctrine he preached by holiness
of life, and presiding over his pastoral charge with a sim-
plicity Of purpose, a singleness of heart and a fervour of
anxious watchfulness, rarely equalled, and never surpassed.
Yesterday morning, between ten and eleven
o'clock, a young woman, named Alice Fisher, housemaid in
the service of Mad. de Puissaye, a lady residing in Sey-
rnonr-atreet, Purtrnan-s
back drawin quare, was leaning out of the
g-room window to hang up a birdcage,
when she overbalanced herself, and was precipitated into
the yard, a height of about thirty feet. The unfortunate
young woman struck the left side of her head, as she fell,
against a dust-bion, with such force that a portion of her
skull, of about the size of half-a-crown, was forced upon
the brain : her right arm was also severely fractured. She
was immediately taken to the Hospital, hut is not expected
to survive.

SUICIDE.--On Wednesday evening a Chel-
sea pensioner named Jeremiah Saunders, a resident at
41, George-street, Chelsea, terminated his existence by
cutting his throat in a dreadful manner with a razor. He
did not expire until yesterday morning.

THE DRAMATIC LICENSER AND CAPTAIN
Ross.—The refusal of Mr. Colman, the Dramatic
Licenser, to license a drama written expressly for the
Hull theatre, by Mr. William Leman Rede, has been
evaded by producing it under the title of " A Voyage to
the North," founded on the late Polar Expedition, in-
stead of hs origin al cognomen, " Captain Ross;" and the
scruples of the licenser have been (it is presumed) satis-
fied by the name of the Captain being entirely omitted.
We understand that Captain Ross laughed most heartily
when he heard of Colman's objections to his name being
the title of the piece.
On
Sunday, a grinder's apprentice was at-
tacked with diarrhoea, and in a short time became a
corpse. His master, in consequence, went to the public-
house, and got drunk. In the course of the day, some
one carried to him the news that his wife was ill in bed.
His answer was, " but I have a worse job than that ; my
apprentice lad is dead." When he got home he was
beastly drunk, and went to bed to his wife without un-
dressing. When the surgeon called to visit his patient,
he found the husband in the state described—his wife ill
of English cholera, and his apprentice in another chamber
dead of a similar complaint. The husband, when he
awoke next morning, set off drinking again, and after
two days' absence was taken home in a wheelbarrow by
his fellow-workmen. The wife is getting better.—

years ago Mr. Wiliam Johnson, then of this town
owing to the ptessure of the times, was under the'nelyer,

city of making a composition with his creditors, and re.
moving to Liverpool, whete a better prospect seemed to
)pen upon him. As he had anticipated, his circumstances
Loon began to improve, and by industry and frugality he
vas enabled to realize property. The first use he made
if his accumulations was to visit Leetk and there to dig-
:harge all his outstanding debts, by paying to etch of his

GLASGOW.

TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN.

SIR,-Have you glanced at the correspondence between
a learned Knight of the University here, Sir D. K. Sand-
ford, and the Editor of a Trades' Union Journal, and can
you give us any idea of our political adventurer's present
tack ?

Talking of the present House of Commons, he says,
" the humbling spectacle of the least possible quantity of
TALENT, KNOWLEDGE, INTEGRITY, and PRINCIPLE in an
assembly of 658 individuals."

Was not the House of Commons chosen on the prin-
ciples of the Reform Bill, about which Sir Dan made
such a kullabako some time ago, lauding it to the skies
at every meeting into which he had the remotest pretext
for thrusting his nose? And was it not into this same
House of Commons of which he now affects to talk so
contemptuously [sour grapes] that he was so eager to be
admitted?

As to the talent and knowledge that would have been
added to the House by the admission of this ambitious
pedagogue, I cannot say much, and it would be curious to
know the learned gentleman's own ideas as to the amount
of integrity and principle that would have accrued from
the election.

Sir Daniel's political faith appears to me to resemble very
much the dial of the scientific projector in Lagada, which
was attached to a weather cock, and possessed the amazing
and highly useful property of accommodating itself to
every turning of the wind.
Leaving it to some one more at leisure to refute the
paltry sophisms, to point out the common place cant,
and expose in its true colours that pretended air of kind-
necs and condescension assumed towards the labouring
classes, by this political soap-bubble.

I am, Sir,
Your most obedient servant,

BRISTOL.

TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN.

SIR,—An anonymous letter appearing in your columns of
yesterday, addressed by way of information to the Archbishop
of Canterbury, and charging the Dean and Chapter,of Bristol
with a scandalous neglect of their duties at the Cathedral, you
will very much oblige a lover of plain and uncoloured state-
ments by giving an early insertion to this in your widely-circu-
lated Journal. "We have had," says this writer, " neither
Dean nor Prebendary in residence for many months; and on
Christmas Day the entire of the duty of this establishment was
imposed upon one solitary Canon." It is very true that, from
the middle of November to the end of December last, no Pre-
bendary was in residence; but I can hear of no other period,
during the year, in which either Dean or Prebendary was not
in residence. The fact of the case is, then, that instead of the
" many months" of your Correspondent, about six weeks forms
. the whole period of this scandalous neglect. Christmas Day
happens to fall within this period; and, as the Prebendary
whose turn it was to be in residence was not in attend-
ance, some one of the minor Canons took a similar li-
berty. It certainly is to be regretted, that the absence of
one of the officiating Clergymen of the Church thus opened
the way for that of another, and, what is perhaps more
lamentable, to the false and scandalous statements of your
correspondent, who has converted a few weeks into many
months. " The Prebendaries," we are next told, " receive,
exclusive of valuable benefices, full 6001. per annum each, the
minor Canons getting about 401. As to the valuable benefices,
not more than three out of the seven, who form the Chapter,
hold any one of them ; and of these, one so holden is but of
little value; a second only pro tempore, for the sole advantage
of the parish. Not more than one of this body therefore seems
to have availed himself of this source of wealth. So much for
their moderation. And with respect to the full 6001 per
annum, it must be reduced, I believe, by one.third at least to
be brought near the truth. Whether the 401 which the
minor Canons are said to get is their due proportion of the
proceeds of the establishment or not, it is not in my power to
say. I have, however, some reason for believing that if it is
not, it is very nearly so. This Ido know, that within the last
two years not fewer than five minor Canons have received what
is thought to be good preferment from the Dean and Chapter.
I do think, therefore, that they have been liberally dealt with.
I must be allowed to say, moreover, that within the period just
named, the Dean and Chapter must have expended in repair-
ing and beautifying the buildings belonging to the Church not
much less than 1,5001., when 3001. would have sufficed for the ne-
cessary repairs. I must say, therefore, that the Dean and Chapter
have, as a body, deserved well of the public. If, indeed, an indivi-
dual belonging to them has wilfully absented himself from the
post of duty, and this has led to the absence of another, then,
in the name of everything that is fair and honest, let those
individuals suffer the punishment due to their crimes.
1 am, Sir, your very humble servant,
A FRIEND TO TRUTH AND FAIRNESS.
Bristol, Jan. 15, 1834.
P.S. I find, since writing the above, that in fact, the statutes
of the Cathedral require the Dean to preach only on Christmas
and Easter day annually, either himself or by substitute; and
that each prebendary preaches four times, at least, in the year,
either himself or by substitute. The Dean, however, when in
health, has usually preached during three months, once every
Sunday ; and each of the Prebendaries has done the same du.
ring his residence, which makes up the whole year. In fact,
then, this body gives to the public just twice the number of
sermons exacted by the statutes annually; and even, in the
case of the absentee just noticed, they must have given more
than their statutable number. The afternoon sermons, too,
are, so many, not required by the statutes. Ido not mean to
say or insinuate that this is more than ought to be done; but
only to state my belief, that the Dean and Chapter have not
betrayed their trust in the instances adduced.
