" Milton, July 13, IMO.
Stn—l am sorry it will be absolutely out °C ray power to
,pr?sent the Wakefield Address to the Queen, as. I am going into
Yorkshire to-morrovi, and have no thoughts of returning to
town • till my return is rendered necessary by Parliamentary
business. I trust I nessinot assure you that I lament this cir-
:_ewasstance deeply, as I should most willingly have waited upon
h_r Majesty with such a document.
• " I remain, Sir, your most faithful servant,
yc Samuel Thompson. " MILTON."
" Curzon-street, July 13, 1820.
• " Sra, I have to acknowledge the receipt of your letter of
Kir 10th in§t, informing me of your having sent to Lord Milton
ail Address to the Queen, voted by the Inhabitants of Wakefield,
and requesting me to assist in presenting it to her Majesty.
• " The only copy I have seen of this Address, is contained in
-the account' Of-the Meeting, as inserted in the Leeds Independent
of July 6th, and if that be a correct copy, I hope I shall not-
be tonsidered as acting disrtupectfully to My constituents at
Wakefield, if I request of them to dispense with my personal
• tittendance upon her Majesty, for the purpose of presenting it.
• —F cannot consistently with what I feel tote my duty, as one
of that body who will have to decide upon the truth or false-
hood of the charges against the Queen, do anything which may
appear in any degree to concur in a public expression of an
• tiiiinion upon those charges. Lord Milton being out of town,
shall, in case he forwards the Address to me, send it to Lady
Anne Hamilton, the Qneen's Lady in Waiting, in order that
• she may lay it before her alajesty.
" I am. Sir, your very humble servant,
" Samuel Thompson. "J. A. STUART WORTLEY."

" Six—Yours of the Ir,th I received this morning, and have
cwamnuicated its contents to the Conunitece, who think your
excuse extremely frivolous, and that instead of representing the
Frecholdeys of Yorkshire, you only represent your own political
principles. It you have the Address in your possession, you will
have the-goodness ton twin it till applic4tion be made for it, as
we have written to Lord Milton upon the subject. Ilow you
can be our very hstnabh. servant and rya se our I nibmbted right, es
cur Reproantative, when you had tso sacrifice to make, is a para-
dox to, your's, very respectfully, "S. TIIOdPSON. ,

" fits--I have this morning received yours of the 15th, and
carnot avoid expressing my surprise at the terms and tone in
which you have thought fit to address me.
" I shall, however, say nothing in answer to so extraordinary
a letter, except that I shall obey the dir:ction it contains, as to
retaining the Address, if it comes to my hands, and that I ut-
terly deny the assertion it contains, of my having, as your Re-
presentative, refused your undoubted right.'—l am, Sir, your
verls humble servant. " J. A. STUART WORTLEY.

rooT RACE EXTRAORDINARY.
P.atc/rs challenge to run one hundred yards for 100 gs. with
al:y man not under 74 years of age, has been accepted by an in.
babital.t of Cheadle, in Staffordshire, now in the 87th year of
I,a age, who served under the command of George 11. in the
German war, and with Rodney, in the American war, and
afterwards as a Serjeant in the Staffordshire Militia.
A Foot Race took plr.ce at an early hour oa Wednesday morn-
ing. on the turnpike-road from Chichester to West Dean, for
£2O. The parties were a Gentleman, who engaged to run with
clothes on, and the Joiner, from Nottinghamshire, who was
at liberty to strip himself. The distance. was 120 yards. The
start was fair, and the race well contested ; they ran abreast
100 yards, when the Gentleman got the lead and kept it.
SPARRING.
. Yesterday. Randal had a benefit at the Fives Court, and Me
talent was siteasumd as an honest boxer's ought to be, with a
Ceuri, as he has won A his battles without giving a chummed'
dispute. The sets to, although few, were good.
The science was best pourtrayed upon equality between Bass.
del and Bekker, and it was the finest specimen of the art that
slay tive men can give, and there was no bed about it. What
advantage the one had one round, the other gave a receipt for
in the next, and nothing could meted the tactics displayed.
Ben Barn adul Booken had a bout which attracted much at-
tention. but ft was most decidedly in favour of Bum. Ile par-
ried his opponent's hits, and kept nobbing hint with the left
timid on the head, and the right on the body, until the specta-
tors were'quite satisfied, if Shelton was not.
Oliver Burn, a young candidate, and the brother of Bob Burn
• who fought pring, had a bustling turn-up with Gibleus, the
man who lately beat Rasher, and it was a good hitting display,
but Olivet's left hind gave him the best of it.
Ned Turner and Harker.—Thia was a good set-to, but all on
one side. Radar bored in, but he was met and hit most Klett-
at points.
