RUNJEET SINGH.

(From the Bombay Times of the 27th of July.)
Among the remarkable incidents c.rinected with the
death of Runject Singh, none is more worthy of be;ng
corded and noted than the fact of four princesses, his wives,
and seven slave girls having been permitted to burr, thew-
selves on his funeral pyre. The sacrifice of his sieves is
indeed an atrocious . cruelty, enacted apparently for no
other purpose than that of adding dignity to the funeral
pageant ; and We hope that the British Government, in
its communications with Rurruk Singh, or Dhian
Singh, who seems to have been the real director
of the obsequies, will not fail to convey a strong intimation
of its cerie upon this most barbarous proceeding. Which
of vo. when reading in Southey's wild poem, the Curse
of Keiiama, the description of Arvalan's funeral, the
burning of his two
Queens, and of the whole train of female
slaves, could have imagined that he would live to behold
the incredible fiction realized to the death, at the obsequies
of a prince in close alliance with Great Britain ? Yet so
true it is, that the poetic description of Arvalan's ima-
ginary funeral becomes, with a very trifling adaptation, the

Even as regards the four princess= 5, Gudden, B lent-
Alice, Rajkover, and Hindeer, there are eircurnstaue. s
which seem to render their sacrifice inexcusatele. In the
c.se under consideration it appears that, with the princesies
(not with the slaves be it remarked, they were not wor li
the ceremony) the form of dissuasion was gone through.
But howhappens it that the same multitude which succeeded
in restraining Dhian Sing in his pretended attempt at self.
combustion, could not move hand or foot to prevent the
Raines 1 The reason is too clear. Dhiati Singh was wanted:
he had a living part to play, both for himself and the
Court of Lahore ; and those who locked forward to
reap benefits from his power were too wise'to allow him to
carry his pretended wish into execution; they would have
received little thanks from him living, little reward from
him dead, had they taken him at his word. But the
Queens were not wanted; their jewels, theirjaghires, their
pensions—all these were wanted, and they themselves were
n the way.
The perpetration of this tragedy shows, in the first place,
how low our moral influence is even where our political
influence is most powerful. It shows, in the second, bow
futile is the hope that India would ever regenerate herself
under native rulers. Here is the Sikh nation, in full inde-
pendence, power, and wealth, with all the elements of pro-
gress in its possession—professing, too, a new and freer
creed, untrammelled with caste or any other venerable fet-
ters derived from antiquity; yet the present tendency of
the national mind is evidently to retrograde towards the
ideas and the customs of past ages.

INTEREST OIN DEBTS.

TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN.
SlR—The fact that it is now legal to demand in te-
rest on debts of long standing, after having given notice
to their creditors of their intention, appears to me not,
to be generally known. By making it public through
your valuable Journal, you would I think confer a be-
nefit on the trading community.
Some of the West-end traders, of which I may in-
stance Storr and Mortimer, have a notice to the follow-
ing effect on their bill heads, " Unless this bill be paid
within a certain time, interest will be demanded on the
same."

their four representatives, in order, according to the felici-
tous phraseology of the Cooserva..ive clacquers, to cele-
brate the triumph of Conservatism over prostrate Whiggery
in this extensive and important district, and to consolidate
the strength of that party here which has the true interests
of the country for its object !!

THE NEW POLICE ACT v. THE BILL STICKERS.-. George
Avcrell was brought before Mr. .Lo-Na, the presiding
Magistrate, on the following charge, Police Constable,
No. 133 C, stated thit he took the defendant into custody
at three o'clock this morning, seeing him in the act of
sticking a printed bill against some scaffold hoarding in
front of one of the Club-douses in Pall-mall. The police
have.received orders to apprehend all persons so offending.
The hoarding belonged to Messrs. Grissell and Peto, the
builders.

The MAGISTRATE, believing the defendant had acted
through ignorance, said he should not inflict any fine on
the present occasion.

The defendant left the office with a number of his fra-
ternity very much chop-fallen.
AMr Charles Lather, a respectable tradesman, re-
siding at No. 56, Pcland-street, Pickford-street, was fined
ss. for refusing to pass on in the Quadrant, when directed
to do so by a policeman.
The constable stated that the conduct of the defendant
caused a number of boys to assemble and obstruct the
footway.
The defendant said he was only speaking to two of his
brothers. He paid the'fine, strongly protesting against its
injustice.

PRESBYTERIAL VISITATION.—The Presb

tery of Arbroath aopeinted Wednesday the 30th October
for the purpose of. visiting Lady Loan, in terms of the re-
c'nt resolutions on this subject. A similar visitation will
be held, at Carmylie, on the 20th of November. The
clerk was instructed to give a month's previous notice to
ministers, who were required to give seven days' previous
notice to their congregations, Mr. Muir of St. Vigean's
said that he did not mean to make any motion on the sub-
ject; but he begged to enter his dissent, because no spe-
cific reason had been assigned for the course which was
meant t ) be adopted, and because it was altogether foreign
to the general practice of the Church. Mr. Muir's dis-
sent %;1/3 a•ihered to by Messrs Walker of Kinuell, Car •
ruthers of Kirkden, and Barclay of Lunan.

The sea, it is said, is encroaching upon every
part of the Cornish coast. In the memory of mauy
persons still living, or but lately dead, the cricketers
were unable to throw a ball across the " Western
Green" between Penzance and Newlyn, which is
now not many feet in breadth, and the grandfather
of the late Vicar of Madron is known te have received tithes
from the land under the cliff of Penzance. At a very remote
period, we are assured by tradition, that a considerable
part of the present bay, especially that comprehended within
a line drawn from near Cudden point on the east side, to
Mousehole on the west, was land covered with wood, but
which, by an awful convulsion and irruption 'of the sea,
was suddenly swept away. There is a letter extant,
written in the reign of Charles 11. to the then proprietor
of an estate, which included part of the " Western
Green," and that part is there estimated at thirty. six acres
pasturage.—Penzance Gazette.
DOVER, SUNDAY, SEPT. 22.--By the return
of her Majesty's packet Ariel last evening from Ostend,
we learn that their Majesties the King and Queen of the
Belgians arrived at Ostend on Friday evening, about half-
past nine, and were received at the landing place by the
Commandant and a military guard. The King and Queen
bad left Windsor Castle about five o'clock on Friday
morning, and embarked un board the Ariel, Captain
Smithett, accompanied by Captain Hamilton, at Woolwich,
at a quarter before nine, and had a most expeditious and
excellent passage. The Royal party did not suffer from
the effects of the voyage, and were pleased to express in
the highest terms to Captains Hamilton and Smithett their
satisfaction at the very great attention they received on
board the Ariel. The King was to be present at the
opening of the railway at Courtray on Sunday, and on
' Monday the whole of the Court was expected to take their
, departure from Ostend.

THE SUN, LONDON, TUESDAY, SEPTEMBER 24, 1839.

AN ALDERMAN LOST.

" Where is Alderman Thompson ?" is a question
every day propounded by the astonished electors of the
borough of Sunderland ; and it is a question which no
man presumes to answer.

How woefully have the victims of this political vam-
pire been disappointed.
Alderman Thompson entered within the walls of the
House of Commons a pledged Radical Reformer—and
a representative whose powerful influence in the City, it
was expected, would have been ex rted, not in favour of
old women merely, but of the merchants, shipowners,
and tradesmen through whose solicitations and credul ty
he had been returned.

The most unfair taxation, perhaps, which was ever
levied upon any great branch of national industry,
appears equity itself when compared to the iniquitous
imposition on coals levied by the municipal copartners
of Alderman Thompson—the Corporation of London.
Our readers (for which of them is not deeply injured
by the coal-tax ?) are too well acquainted with its his-
tory and injustice to require much explanation
from us. Suffice it to say, that every one, except its
receivers, cries out against it ; and the City authorities
themselves pretend to admit its injustice, even whilst
petitioning for its continuance. But it is not the peo-
ple of the North only who suffer—and who suffer, in
proportion to their means, the most deeply. The poor,
the needy, the half-starved, and the half-naked of the
metropolis, are deprived of a portion of that comfort in-
' dispensable to their existence, for the purpose of erect-
ing palaces and embellishing thoroughfares in the most
wealthy and overgrown capital of the world. That
numbers of miserable wretches perish annually in the
metropolis is unquestioned ; and as unquestioned is it,
that it is not the want of bread alone that drags them
to the grave. Fuel is almost as indispensable as food—
and less easily obtained by the ill-clothed and shivering
wanderer, as evidenced by the fireless hovels in which
metropolitan misery too frequently expires. One of
the great champions and assertors of this tax—one of
the most prominentperpetuators of this misery—is Alder-
man Thompson, the Tory Representative of the coal-
exporting and coal-trade-supported borough of Sunder-
land T. /.—Gateshead Observer.

CHURCH EXTENSION SCHOOLS

We have received the following communication from
a correspondent :—Much has been said, of late, of
Church Building Societies and School Building Societies,
and in so far as Glasgow is concerned much has been
done, and is still doing, in the erection of such edifices.
Some are completed, and, on the faith of Dr. Chalmers's
promises, people anticipated that they would obtain
education for their children in them for little or nothing.
But how has it turned out ? The Bridgton church and
school and steeple were liberally subscribed for by the
inhabitants, both Churchmen and Dissenters. The
church and school are both finished ; the steeple is left
in the lurch. Well, a subscriber sent five of his childre❑
to the school—paying 3s. per month for each—and
naturally expected that, after all his zeal, he would be
rewarded by attention being paid to them. At the end
of six weeks he felt disappointed at the small progress
they had n.ade, and on inquiry found that three out of
the five had never received a lesson from the Church
Extension teacher—that the other two Lad received
only three or four lessons, having been employed after
this instruction, in teaching their younger brothers and
others. The father has taken the whole five away, and
put them under the charge of a voluntary teacher, who
personally gives each pupil five lessons a day, and charges
only 2s. a quarter. It thus appears, adds our corre-
spondent, that the public may be gulled out of their
money by other than Radicals. I will give you the
name of the gentleman who has been thus treated, and
you may give it to any person who calls for it.--Glas-
gow Chronicle.

TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN.
Sheerness, Jan. 13, 1839.
Sta,—l have read the pamphlet of " One of the People"
and the letter of a " Stoker" in the Hampshire Telegraph.
They seem both written by the same person, who, if I mistake
not, has a very comfortable fire to stoke, not far from Pall-mall.
He says, on the day that Russia shows the least symptom of
sending her Armada to Leith or London, in one week 200
steamers, aimed with 68 and 32 pounders, will be at sea ;
and that every ship of the enemy will be sunk, burnt, or towed
into England by our own steamers. Well done, Stoker.
You really arc a most wonderful man, and the sooner her
Majesty makes you Lord High Admiral the better.
I will, however, venture to ask the Stoker how he is to ascer-
tain when Russia shows symptoms of sending her Armada to
to this country ? If he will read Captain Crawford's pamphlet
he will see that in 1836 the Russian fleet got under weigh,
consisting of 27 sail of the line, 20 frigates, 3 corvettes, and a
proportion of small craft. Had the Autocrat been disposed to
serve us as we did the Danes, he certainly would not have sent
us information. His fleet would have sailed with the first fair
wind, and probably been the first to announce their arrival, as
they did once before at Spithead.
f will also venture to ask the Stoker if he is really serious in
saying, that In one week we could select and collect 200
steamers, strengthen them, fit them with guns, magazines,.
'man them with between 20 and 30,000, provision and store
them, and finally train them to fire shot and shell in this week
Now, if he can do all this, .4 The gentlemen of England
may live di home at ease ;" but if he cannot, England ought
not to be left with less than ten sail of the line, which is all I
proposed, and which the Stoker, after all his rhodomontadc,
himself recommends.
I am, Sr, 3 our obedient Orvant,

VICE-C fiANCERY.-(THIS DAY.)

His Honour the VICE- CIIANCELLOR took the causes and
unopposed petitions to•day, none of which were of any interest
except to the parties concerned.

QUEEN'S BENCH.-(THIS DAY.)

The Grand Juries fur Westminster and Middlesex were
this morning- sworn before Mr. Justice Littledale, who briefly
addressed them upon their duties, observing that there was
no case to come before them which required any particular
observation from him.
GIBSON AND OTHERS V. PRICE AND OTHERS.
- - - -

Mr. NEWTON said this was an action of troveTto recover
the certificate of registry of a vesssl called the Anne of
Swansea, bought by George Gibson, William Bryant, and
Alfred Knight, assignees of the estate of Bryant and Peake,
against Sir Robert Price, F. Knowles, and others, carrying
on business as the Glamorganshire Iron and Coal Company.
The action was brought in the Secondaries' Court upon Writ
of Inquiry, and the defendants did not pload to the action ;
and the Jury found for the plaintiffs—damages, 781. 10s.
He had now to move their Lordships for a rule
to set aside the verdict, and enter satisfaction upon
the writ, on payment of the plaintiff's costs, or
in the alternative a rule for a new inquiry, on the ground of
misdirection on the part of the Secondary, and that the da-
mages were excessive. The defendants had become mort-
gagees of the certificate of registry, and the declaration al-
leged that the defendants became possessed of it on the 31st
Octeb2r, 1838, and the action was brought on the 6th No.
vember folleming. Now, the Secondary directed the Jury to
estimate the damage from the 16th July preceding, when the
defendants became possessed of the certificate ; but he (Mr.
Newton) submitted that the plaintiffs could not recover da-
mages for any time previous to the period stated in the decla-
ration. After proceeding for some time with his argument,
The COURT inquired if the Learned Counsel had a note of
evidence given at the inquiry.
'Mr. NEWTON replied in the negative, but added that he
could procure it in the course of the day.
The Court postponed its judgment until they had looked
over the notes of the inquiry.

DEAN V. LADY KIRKWALL.
This was an action to recover a year and a half rent of a
house at Barrow-hill, held by the defendant. It was tried
b,foro Mr. Juviee Patteson at the sittings after last Term,
and a verdict was had for the defendant, on the ground that
the defendant was at the time of unsound mind, and that the
plaintiff was aware of that fact.

Mr. PLATS' now moved fora new trial, on the ground that
the verdict was sge.inst evidence, and also misdirection on the
part of the Learned Judge. After stating the facts of the
case. which Dave been already before the public,
Their LORDSHIPS said they would consult with Mr. Justice
Patteson before they d,divered their judgment.
The COUR r then took the special paper.

UNIVERSAL SUPFRAGE ASSOCIATION.

The monthly meeting of the Universal Suffrage Association was held
in the Justiciary Court Hall, at Glasgow, last Tuesday.

After reading the minutes of the different meetings which had been
held daring the month, a discussion ensued in reference to the employ-
ment of lecturers to agitate and inform the county on the subject of
Universal Suffrage, &c. This gave rise to some conversation about the
state of the funds.

Mr. Ross said it was necessary to inform the meeting that the na.
tional petition was ready to be sent away to Birmingham. It was com-
posed of 395 sheets, with 192 names on each, making in all 75,840.
Taking even the very large population of Lanarkshire, he considered
this a very large number. He thought it would be very desirable if
501. could be sent along with it to defray the expences of the National
Convention.

Some objections were made to sending the petition to Birmingham ;
but on some explanations from Mr. Moir, the suggestion of Mr. Ross
was agreed to.

Mr. RODGER referred to the agitation that was getting up in Glasgow
for a repeal of the Corn.laws, and earnestly advised the meeting to have
nothing to do with the party engaged in that agitation, as they might
be assured that it was not for their benefit that the Whigs were at
work, and they would find that but a very meagre portion of the bene-
fits to be derived from a repeal of the Corn.laws would be received by
the working classes.

Mr. Mont said that the time for active exertion was come, and it
would not do for men to come to a meeting to.night and then not to
be seen for weeks to come. There was the greatest necessity for
sendilis off money for the expense of the National Convention, as if
that were not done the Convention only met in London to separate
immediately.

Mr. Lourrir said, that the Birmingham Union had said, that if the
National Convention had to separate for want of funds, that it would
be taken for granted that the names attached to the petition were spu-
rious. He thought that this might be a wrong deduction; but at any
rate, he thought that funds could be very easily got.

BETTS PATENT BRANDY.—To guard the
Public against being misled by the numerous imitators of
the Patent Brandy, and to assure them of the utter futility of all
attempts to rival that celebrated article, the Patentees need only
state that the peculiarly wholesome properties of their Brandy—
attested by many eminent Chemists, and frequently published since
its introduction in 1829—are secured by Patent Right, which, in
itself, forms a sufficient guarantee, if purchasers be careful to arta-
blish the identity of the article.

The only Establishment of J. T. Betts and Co. is the Distillery,
No. 7, Smithfield-bars, leading to St. John-street, where the Pa-
tent Brandy may be had, either pale or coloured, in quantities not

COMMON PLEAS.-(THIS DAY,)

KAY V. MARSHALL.
The quesf on in this case was as to the validity of a patent
frr preparing and spinning flax, hemp, and other fibrous sub-
stances, which has been litigated for several years past. In
1824 the plaintiff claimed to have made the discovery of new
improved machinery ; for this object he obtained a patent in
1826, and in his specification deserib-d his invention ns con-
sisting of " macerating vessels," and placing what are called
the " drawing rollers" and the " detaining rollers" nearer to
e ich other than they had ever before been placed—that is,
within 21 inches to each other. In June, 1836, a trial was di-
re•eted by the Master of the bolls on two issnes ; whether at
!he time or before the patent the plaintiff had discovered any
new machinery, as in his specification described, and whether
the said invention was of public utility. The trial took place
at York between the present parties, and the Jury
found for the plaintiff on both issues, and the
Judge (Mr. Baron Park) endorsed on the postea
that though before the patent, modes had been discovered for
spinning flax, hemp, &c. with machines in which the "reach,"
(the technical word for the distance between the rollers), was
varied according to the length of the " staple" or fibre, of the
article to be spun, no mode had been invented for spinning
such substances, by means of maceration, with a reach" of
21 inches only. The above facts are embodied in a special
case submitted by the Master of the Rolls for the decision of
this Court, the point being whether, in law, the patent was

Sir F. Pollock appeared fur the plaintiff; Sir William Fol-
lett and Sergeant Wilde for the defendant.
The argument will last all day.

EXCHEQUER COURT-(THIS DAY )

IN RE DIGNUM, GENT.

Mr MESSIGER said he was instructed to move for a Writ
nisi, calling upon James Dignum to show cause why he should
not be struck off the rolls as an attorney of the Court. He
moved under the 2d George II , cap. 23, which expressly
enacted that no r.t.:, rcey who was in any of the gaols of the
kingdom, or was living in any rules of any gaol as a prisoner,
should not sue out any wrir, or be capable of suing out any
writ, while he was a prisoner; and if he did so, all proceed-
ings were to be void, and the name of such attorney be struck
dr the rolls. The circumstances under which he moved
were stated in two Lffidavits. Mr. Dignurn was committed
to the Queen's Bench in Octobcr, 1837, in four different
netior.s, where he romined until July, 1838. The affidavits
showed nine different actions which had in the meantime been
commenced by Mr. Dignum iu his own name. He had also an
affidavit from one of the defendants in the actions who deposed
that in January, 1838, he called upon Mr. Dignum, and paid
him 2/. on account of the debt and costs—that he afterwards
saw him again before July, when, after some consideration,
Dignum accepted 1/. more in lieu of all costs.
