ST. DUNSTAN'S CHURCH.

TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN.

SlR,—The improvement in Fleet-street, by the taking
down the walla of the old St. Dunstan's Church, already
shows not only the beauty of the splendid edifice of the
new Church, the great accommodation to passengers,
but tends to the preservation of the lives of many persons
in that very narrow passage which is so great a public
thoroughfare. It is to be hoped front the fine open view
of that beautiful new Church—the greatest ornament in
the City of London—that no building, or any noxious ob-
struction, will obscure this truly national ornament, which
affords a beautiful entrance to Cdfford's inn, a place
hitherto almost unknown to the public. Indeed, I believe
that great injury has been done the Hon. Society of Clif-
ford's-inn, by the close and ruinous nature of the buildings
leading to the Chambers. The City having so liberally
paid so great an amount for this improvement, we hope,
even though it may be attended with some loss to the
parish by the sacrifice of a little ground, that a fine and
commodious entrance will be made to the Inn, in a style
corresponding with the new St. Dunstan's.
I remain, Sir, your obedient s-rvant,
AN OLD INHABITANT OF FLEET-STREET.

TITHES.-AUCTION OF CATTLE BE-
LONGING TO J. S. LAMBERT, ESQ. M. P.

Friday, the 10th inst. wits the auction day for the sale
of Mr. Thomas D. Lambert's etock, namely, sixteen
lamb., seized for the sum of three pounds ten shillings and
one penny farthing, by the Rev. John Delmage, tithe
proctor to the Rev. Mr. Hartigan, for tithe composition.
At the hour appointed for the sale, Mr. T. D. Limbert,
accompanied by some friends, proceeded to Kiltarton,
where the auction was to take place. After waiting for
some time, the Rev. Mr. Dwyer rode up, and in a few
minutes turned towards Gort, as I am informed, to bring
out an escort of military to attend the sale, and in about
half an hour, he returned, accompanied by the police and
the Rev, Mr. Hartigan and his tithe proctor, Delmage.
Then, after much consultation among the Rev. Gen-
tlemen, Mr. Dwyer came forward and addressed him-
self to Mr. D. T. Lambert and his friends, stating, on the
part of Mr. Delinage and the parties concerned, th it he
would give up the lambs without going to auction, on
Mr. Lambert's paying Mr. Deltnage's demand. Mr,
T. D. Lambert replied, very coolly, " Let the law
take its course." Then Mr. D. came forwat d and made
the same off r as Mr. Dwyer, to which Mr. Lambert gave
the same identical answer ; then Mr. Delmage and Mr.
Dwyer both said we will set up the stock, and told the
pound-keeper to bring them out. Mr Delmage then
called for a common peasant, and desired him to act as
auctioneer and set up the stock, which he accordingly did,
at 2s. for the flock. A gentleman present immediately
bid 1/. each for the flock, and a second bidder, one of Mr.
Delmage's men, bid I/. Is. each for the flock, which ap-
peared to annoy the reverend gentlemen very much. After
some consultation this man came forward and stated that
he made a mistake, as he thought he was to get the flock
for the guinea, and the reverend gentlemen desired the
stock to be set up again, which accordingly was at 2s. for
each. Immediately the same gentleman time forward
and bid 1/. each for the flock, and after some consultation
among the reverend gentlemen, he was declared the pura
chaser, at 11. each, though he was the only bidder.
The gentletrian paid 161. for sixteen lambs into
the hands of Mr. Delmage. Mr. Delmage deduct-
ing the amount of his demand from the 161., tendered
the balance to Mr. Lambert, which be (Mr. Lambert)
refused, stating that the auction was illegal, and that he
begged to notify to Mr. Delmage that he intended taking
three actions against him, for defamation of character, for
over distress in seizure of his stock, and for selling at an
illegal auction. Then the Rev. Mr. Dwyer came forward
and said, as loud as he could, " After all the exertions of
that very popular man and Member for the county, to
have 100,000 men present here this day, to attend the
auction and have a row, he has failed in his exertions,
for there are only 25 persons present, and most of those
are personally concerned; and I have it from sworn au-
thority, that this very popular man used all his influence
to have 100,000 men here to-day." To which speech
Mr. T. D. Lambert replied, " Assertion is one thing, and
truth another." Mr. Mahony, Chief Magistrate, then
came up, after the sale was over, and addressed himself to
Mr. Larnbert, saying, I am glad to see there is no ap-
pearance of a crowd here, for sworn informations were
brought before me, stating that there was to be a great
row.— Galway Free Press.

THE QUEEN OF THE BELGIANS AND THE
EMPRESS OF RossiA.—An admirable likeness of the
Queen of the BELGIANS, the newly-made bride of Lro-
POLO, is announced to be given as an extra embellishment
in the forthcomine number of The Court Magazine,
conducted by the Hon. Mrs. NORTON. The same num-
ber will also be enriched with a very fine Engraving of the
Empress of Russin and Child, from the celebrAted pic-
ture by the late GEORGE DANVE, Esq., Royal Academi-
cian. As these Portraits (accompanied with Alemuira by
JOHN BURKE, Esq.) are likely to excite a very great in-
terest amongst all discs in England, it is requisite that
all orders for the September number of The Court Ma-
gazine should be given with as little delay as possible, in
order to ensure Copies on the day of pt.blication.
