The sale of the Stud took place at Hampton Court

on Wednesday.

The weather was not favourable, and the attendance of noblemen and gentlemen scanty; but there was a crowd of plebeians, who, notwith- standing the rain, enjoyed the scene prodigiously. Mr. l'attersull de. livered a stupid speech from a dirty rostrum, anti then the bidding commenced. Altogether, the stud brought 15,692 guineas ; being a larger sum than was expected. The Colonel was the most valuable animal in the lot. After winning the St. Leger, ha had been pur- chased by George the Fourth from Mr. Edward Petre, at the price of 4,000 grimness. At Ascot, in 1831, after running a dead heat with Mouehe, he broke down—on the leg which King George had pointed out as that in which he would fail. The Colonel appeared at the sale in high condition ; but brought 500 guineas less than was expected, his price being only 1,550 guineas. Tattersall bought him, but it is not known for whom. Acton was bought for a German baron, for 920 guineas. The mares Fleur de Lis, Wings, and Young Mouse, were purchased, it is conjectured, for the King of France. The two horses presented by the Imaum of Muscat sold well ; the bay for 410, the black for 5'40 guineas. The general opinion, however, concided with that of our last week's correspondent, that these horses are not of the pure Arab breed. One of the colts by Actaeon out of Wings sold for only 46 guineas, though six weeks ago it had been valued at 600 guineas, and Lord George Bernina{ bud since offered 1,000 guineas for it. But a cold in the eyes has rendered it irrecoverably blind ; so that all its blood and tine pedigree are of little value. Below we give the particu- lars of the prices at which the horses were put in and purchased.

Gray ditto, rising two-years, by Paella, out of a Well•hred mare A correspondent of the Morning Chronicle mentions some circum- stances relative to the dismissal of Mr. Hamilton, curate of a new church at Hounslow, which if true are highly discreditable to Dr. Benson, the celebrated preacher. Mr. Hamilton, it seems, lately took occasion to denounce from the pulpit the drunkenness prevalent at the late election for Middlesex. Mr. Pownall, the defeated Tory candi- date, who was present, found the observations unpalatable; and Mr. Hamilton was told by Dr. Benson, his superior, that he would not allow such sermons to be preached in his church. Mr. Hamilton would not promise to abstain from preaching against drunkenness ; and received notice to quit his curacy. Several of the more respect- able parishioners, disgusted with Dr. Benson's conduct, are about to leave the church. This is an ex parte statement; but Dr. Benson ought to explain the transaction. The following is supposed to be the offensive passage in Mr. Hamilton's sermon- " What more painful to a right-thinking mind than the immoralities attending elections? Are we to be silent who witness these ? Or, on such occasions, is there to be a suspension of the laws of sobriety, righteousness, and truth ? What ! shall the preacher at other times denounce the evils which disgrace our nature, and be dumb at these ? And shall he be condemned for lifting up his voice against the vices and hypocrisies which may then abound, only because they are passed over, if not countenanced-if not excited-by the rich and the great 9 Shall drunkenness, violence, and detraction have a shield from us ? Shall the misguiding of the poor he winked at by him who knows not of sin hut as sin, whoever may practise it ? Oh no ; let him who dares stand up as a moral guide and preacher of righteousness denounce sin at all times. The present mode of elections spreads so much evil through the country, opens the sluices of so much corruption, the public mind is so poisoned, truth is so violated, that I know not how a Christian can hesitate to seek improvement in tlee hews re- specting them."

Dr. Benson, from his own pulpit in the Temple, attacks fashion- able vice in strong terms sometimes. He has been known to crimson the cheeks of modest women by his plain-spoken denunciation.
