MR. JEREMY BENTHAM.

The Examiner of Sunday publishes the following
letter from Mr. Bentham in reference to an ar-
ticle which appears in the last number of the West-
winster Review :

" Queen's-square-place, Westminster, July 1, 1829.
" that mixture of pride and pleasure
which may be imagined, I heard read that article in
your last Examiner, headed The Utilitarian
Philosophy and The Edinburgh Review :' but as the
lines glided across my ear, there was one which
struck me as pregnant with a misconception, such as,
if not properly obviated, might, to' a degree beyond
my power of measurement, be productive of injurious
consequences : this is, that the article in the West-
minster, as it stands,. has me for its author : enza-
natesfrone are the words; and thereupon I am de-
signated. As to misrepresentation, intended or not
intended, it is altogether out of the question; but
the plain truth is as follows :
" Hearing in general terms that in an article in an
Edinburgh- Revit.v4 the Greatest Happiness Prin-
ciple had been hardly dealt with, I either offered or
consented (I forget which) to furnish, and did ac-
cordingly furnish, a few pages composed of memo•
randums, forming a sort of history of that principle
from its birth to the present time—a heap of rough
materials which, were I ever to see them in the form,
whatever it may be, that has been given to them bythe
Editors, I should expect to find employed to much
better advantage than by the original compiler they
had been or could have been. bo much as to that
part of the article in the Westminster. But as to
anything which in that article might have been said
of the Edinburgh, and as to any thing which in the
Edinburgh may have been said to The disadvantage
of any individual—on neither of these topics, in that
or any other paper of mine, has- anything been at
anytime said by me.
" Neither of the one article nor of the other has
time as yet permitted me to take cognizance, other-
wise than, as above; •nor is its ever doing so very
probable.---Your's sincerely,
" JEREMY BENTHAM."

SPORTING INTELLIGENCE.

TATTERSALL'S.

The betting yesterday was general rather than heavy,
nor was it so definite as might have been looked for at the
period, the Newmarket July Meeting being next week.
The Mummer is the only horse backed outright for the
July Stakes, the others being talked of in lots. Lord
Lowther's. lot are Sapio, Verdict, and Envoy ; Lord Exe-
ter's Advance colt and Miss Cantley filly ; these may be
quoted at about 4to 1 each lot. The Duke of Grafton's
Pawn colt and Zinc filly at 5 to 1, and Lord Cleveland's
Waltz colt at about 6 to 1; but all these are merely
spoken of, not backed. The King is stated to have pur-
chased Lady Sarah and Murphy for 3,500 guineas ; the
report, however, is not looked upon as authentic, and the
betting is little influenced by it.,
