We received by the last steamer the follow.
ing publication, which Mr.. Sickles, the Secre-
tary to our Legation to England, has made in
London. We have already expressed our
views touching the famous Fourth of July din
ner and the following papers do not require
any comment from US.
UNITED STATES LEGATION,
LONDON, Sept. 2, 1854.
SIR: At alate hour last night received from
Mr.. Buchanan printed copy Of communi-
cation addressed by you TO the Boston Post, v
animadyerting in very offensive terms upon
portions Of a letter recently made public in
that journal, referring to your proceedings and
conduct in relation to the late celebration OF
the anniversary of American Independence at
Richmond.
You are right in supposing that wrote the
letter In question:; and In view of the necessity
which afterwards arose for its publication, in
order to correct the Misrepresentation con
corning the affair put forth by your agents and
through your connivance, only regret that my
friend Colonel Green thought it proper to with
hold my name.
Obliged by urgent official duties to leave
London for Madrid, shall seize the earliest
moment upon my return lin about fifteen days,
to demand satisfactory retraction Of these de
rogatory statements concerning myself which
cannot but suppose to have been written un
der misrepresentation of the facts, but fol
which IN your communication you declare your
self responsible.
remain, sir, your very obedient servant,

Alf@ Friday, March 20.
Sir Henry Hardinge delivered to Lord Fal-
mouth memorandum, on the 10th of March,
from Lord Winchilsea last night; in the latter
of which it was proposed, as preliminary to
any explanation, that the Duke of Wellington
should disclaim having contemplated the inten.
lions attributed to his grace by Lord Winchil-
sea, which mode Of PREPARATION was considered
inadmissable., In the memorandum Of the Duke
Of Wellington, his grace states that his cause
Of complaint is in the publication of opinions
highly offensive to him. Whenever, therefore,
any terms or mode of PREPARATION, which Lord
W w may be disposed to offer, are COM
municated to Sir Henry ,Hardinge, be will make
them known to the Duke of Wellington, and
inform Lord Winchilsea whether they are salts

Sir Henry Hardinge has read me a memo
randum, written by Lord Winchlsea, and de-
liyered to him by Lord Falmouth, from which
it appears that his lordship is anxious that /
should justify myself from the charges against
me contained in his lordship's address to Mr..
Coleridge, published in the Standard news.
paper. / may lament that nobleman for
whom ! feel the highest respect entertains a
bad opinion of me; but do not complain so
long as that opinion is not brought before me-.
cannot admit that any man has right to
call me before him to justify myself from the
charges which his fancy may suggest That Of
which complain is, that the Earl of Winchil-
sea and Nottingham should have published an
opinion that was actuated by disgraceful and
criminal motives in certain transaction which
took place nearly year ago. His lordship,
unprovoked, has insulted me by stating in writ
ing, and authorizing the publication of this
opinion. For this insult believed, and am
not willing to part with the belief, that his
lordship will be anxious to give me PREPARATION.

LONDON, March l9.


My LORD: have had the honor of receiving
your lordship's letter Of the 18th instant. Your
lordship is certainly the best Judge of the mode
to be adopted Of Withdrawing your name from
the list Of subscribers to the Kings College.
In doing so, however, it does not appear ne
cessary TO impute to me, in no measured terms,
disgraceful and criminal motives for my con.
duct in the part which took in the establish
ment of the college. No man has right
whether in public or in private, by speech, or
in writing, or in print, to insult another by at
tribut;ng TO him motives for his conduct, public
or private, which disgrace or criminate him.
If a gentleman commits such an act indis-
creetly, in the heat of debate, or in a moment
Of party violence, he is always ready to make
reparation to him whom he may thus have in
jured. am convinced that your lordship will,
upon reflection, be anxious to relieve yourself
from the pain Of having thus insulted man
who never injured or offended you.

The Joking Clergyman.

Rev. Or. Byley was the original COM
pound of religion and mirth, conspicuous in
the latter part of the last century, in New
England. With a good heart, mind of
stable principles, and decent reverence
for his holy Office, he nevertheless possessed
a buoyant and general flow of spirits, con-
stantly running over with puns and witty
conceits. He maintained his connection
with his (the Hollis street, church for forty
three years. He was hale yet aged man
when the Revolutionary war began, and in
his political predictions leaned towards
the royal side.
In May, l777, it was deemed necessary to
arrest him as Tory. He was ordered to
be placed on board guard ship, and sent
to England. Subsequently the sentence
was changed to coninement.in his house A
sentinel was kept before his door day and
night, whom he was wont to call his o6seru-
a-toru. At the last, the vigilance of the
Board of War relaxed, and the sentinel dis
appeared; after while he was replaced, and
after little removed altogether.
The Doctor used pleasantly to remark,
that he had been guarded, regarded, and
disreearded." Once the Doctor tried to
have the sentinel let him go after some milk
for his family; but he was firm, and would
not: he then argued the case with the hon
est but simple fellow, and actually induced
him to 60 after the milk, while he (the Doc
tori kept guard over himself. The neigh
bors were filled with wonderment to see
their pastor walking measured strides before
his own door, with the sentinel's gun at his
shoulder, and when the story got abroad il
FURNISHED food for town gossip and merri
alnent for several days.
= The Doctor had rather a shrewish wife
$50 one day he called at the old distiIlery
that stood in Lincoln street and accostec
the proprietor thus: q
'Do you Stili?"
THAT is my business, replied Mr.. Hill
the proprietor.
"Well, then," said the Doctor, II should
like to have you go and still my wife,"
He served rather an ungallant trick upor
this same good lady at another time. H(
had some curiosities, which people occa
sionally called to see. Mrs. B. was ther
"in suds," AMI begged her husband to shu
her in closet while he exhibited his curioS
tiles. He did so. After exhibiting every
thing else, he said, "Now, ladies, l have
reserved my greatest curiosity to the last,
and opening the door, he exhibited Mrs B
to the ladies.
A.learned lady of Boston despatched 6
note to him, on the Great Dark Day, (May
~, l7S0) in the following style:
Dear DOctor-How do you account fol
this darkness"
His reply was
Dear Madam am as much in the darI
as you are"
