APPROACHING TOURNAMENT.

The St. John's Wood road was again thronged with car-
riages on Saturday, filled with ladies anxious to witness
the tilting, which was a repetition of the course followed
on the previous Saturday, with the addition of two knights
who had been absent, the Marquis of Waterford, riding a
handsome bay horse, with a plain smooth bit in his mouth,
and with which no other man could possibly controul him ; '
and the Hon. Edward Jerningham, whose strength of arm
is not quite equal to that of the sporting marquis, and who
consequently, at the top of his speed, rode over one of the
attendants employed to urge on the figure of the opponent.
Fortunately no damage was done.
Prince Louis Napoleon also appeared on a dashing
charger, lance in band, and performed an exercise very
like that of our English Lancers. We prefer the Polish
lance, and mode of using it. The activity of Prince
Louis was such that upon one occasion, when by losing his
balance he was obliged to part company with his steed, he
contrived to alight upon his feet, and with one spring seated
himself again so quickly, that very few observed the
accident at all.
The other Knights present, were Lords Eglintoun,
Craven, Cassilis, and Alford ; Sir T. Hopkins, Mr. Gage,
and the Hon. Mr. Maynard.
Among the Esquires, were the Hon. Capt. Macdonald,
Captain Beresford, and Captain Purvis.
Colonel Fremantle was allowed to parade his horse and
try his skill among the 'Squires; but it appears that Capt.
Maynard is considered the most expert of all who have as
yet appeared ; he will, however, find a formidable adver-
sary in Lord Hillsborough, if human strength shall be
found equal or superior to human skill, which, according
to the present practice of these mail-clad adventurers in
search of fame, appears to be the case.
The only addition to the effects described last week was
in the attendance of several " men-at-arms," who, in
complete suits of armour, and wearing mustachios and
beards, were placed at intervals to keep the ground.
It is said that each Knight is to choose a Lady, whose
colours he is to wear, and whose superiority he is to
maintain before all lovers, native or foreign, known or
unknown, proving the old adage that
" None but the brave deserve the fair."

TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN.

Sta,—Much misapprehension has arisen from a recent
occurrence, which I deeply regret should have happened
under my roof—l allude to the death of Joseph Hall, on
whom an operation was performed by Mr. Lyon, a
surgeon formerly—but no longer—residing with me.
With that operation I had nothing to do ; I did
not authorise it I was not cognizant of it
nor was I made acquainted with the result until three
hours had elapsed. With regard to the case of Mr. W.
Whitbread, which has been referred to in connexion with
the foregoing, I have only to say, that to my knowledge,
I never saw that individual, and certainly never performed
on him any operation whatever; to which may be added
that a verdict of " Natural Death" was returned by the
Jury, thereby disconnecting the cause of his disease from
the operation which Mr. Lyon had performed on him se.
veral days previously.
I am, Sir, your obedient servant,

A FEW WORDS of OBVIOUS TRUTH,
'Price Is.
The Apostles, if we might believe their History and their
Epistles, baptized, and uniformly baptized TO, or UPON, the
only " name under heaven given among men, whereby we trust
to be saved." But the testimony, it seems, is not to be de-
pended upon. The Apostles, say the Unitarians, baptized
.‘ INTO a religion—that holy religion which originated with
the. Father, was taught by Christ, the Son—that is, the ser-
vant and mestenger of God, and confirmed by the gifts of the
Holy Spirlt."—Oh!

OLYMPIC.

The favourite burletta of High, Low, Jack, and the

was, as heretofore, paramount in the Queen of Hearts,
whilst Miss Agnes Taylor, for the first time, sustained the
dignity, and very becomingly, of her Majesty of Spades.
J. Biagio enacted with spirit and success, the King of
Clubs. 'Upon Mr. T. Green, who personated the King
of Spades, the mock solemnity of regal power sat woll ;
and Oxberry was highly diverting in the Knave of Hearts.
The revival has been attended to in every minutiae--its

and splendid as when it was ori Ily produced. The
house was well attended.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE.

WORSHIP- STREET.
CHEATING THE POOL—Yesterday a butcher named
White, carrying on business at 154, Whitecross-street,
was charged with using false scales.
An Inspector of weights and measures stated that he
entered the defendant's shop, and, on examining his scales,
he found that the one in which he placed the meat had
two pieces of lead adjusted to the bottom of it, by means of
which it weighed an ounce and three quarters heavier than
the other one. lie seized the two bits of lead, but the
defendant's wife snatched one of them from him and made
away with it. The inhabitants of the neighbourhood were
wretchedly poor, and must have been severe sufferers by
the cruel and fraudulent trick.
The defendant (whose wife appeared for him) was fined
205., with a caution that a repetition of the offence would
be visited with the full penalty of Si.
( A fine of Si. for the first offence, and a threat of two
months at the treadmill for the second, would have been
a more appropriate decision.)

STATE CHURCH PERSECUTION.
FIVE INDIVIDUALS, Mestrs. BARRETT, ED-
WARDS, RANDALL, SPURR and BALL, have just been
liberated from Bodmin Gaol, in the county of Cornwall, after
one month's imprisonment, and have suffered the treatment of
common felons, for what has been termed a riot. The three
first-named are highly reapectibl,, men, in a large way of busi •
ness in the borough of Trnro, and they attended the sale of their
property, which had been seized for Church-rates. In the
course of that sale there was uproariousbehayiour on the part of
the crowd, and some of the auctioneer's windows were broken.
This gave the Tory factiOn an opportunity for persecution, and
one which they on this occasion, as on 211 others, readily em-
braced. They instituted criminal proceedings against the five
persons named above, and obtained a verdict, hoping thereby to
put a stop to a future opposition to Church-rates in the borough
of Truro. The legal expenses of the prosecution, including a
3fioonel-0.,f0f 251. each
achabonoutthlreseol.ofhatshebeednefseandasenrtisb,eadrunt to about
is now earnestly made to the Dissenting and theaLn4ibaenraalppeal
por-
tion of the community for their pecuniary aid.
The Church party are not yet satiated. They have since
seized upon the property of three other Dissenters, for trifling
sums due for Church-rates, and they seem determined to foster
the deeply malignant feelings in which the recent trial ori-
ginated. It is hoped that the public will mark their detesta-
tion of such bitter animosity, which, instead of promoting the
cause of religion, tends to bring discredit on the party that re-
sorts to it, and on the principles they profess to espouse.

The burlettas of I'll be a Duchess, West Country Woo-
ing, and Jacques Strop, are nightly performed here, in the
two former of which the inimitable ballad-singer, Mrs.
Waylett, drew forth plaudits. The principal attraction,
however, at present is, the introduction of four foreigners,
termed in the bills "the Hungarian Singers." Lovers of
music should not miss the opportunity afforded them for
hearing the performances, which, with the charms of no-
velty, possess much to please the most scientific.

LIFE OE THE GREAT DUCHESS OF MARL-
Boßoumi.—This work, we understand, is on the point of
immediate publication. It is not a little singular that we
have been up to this moment without an adequate " Life"
of f, Queen Sarah"—certainly one of the most extraordi-
nary women that ever lived, and as celebrated as she was
extraordinary. During the greater part of the lengthened
period of her life this truly distinguished woman exercised
a degree of political power, and enjoyed a measure of per-
sonal distinction, which has scarcely been the lot of any
other uncrowned female, and. of very few crowned ones;
and her private and social history is fraught with an inte-
rest only second to that attaching to her public career.
The life of such a person written by so successful a pen
as that to which we are indebted for the life of Henry
VIII., cannot fail to be a most valuable addition to our
biographical literature.

suffer a narrow, bigoted faction to beard both the

Queen and the Commons.
For a long period have we urged the Ministry to
the course they have now taken, and their present

proceedings is a full justification of the warmer sup-
port we have recently given them. We should have
had fewer objections even to Lord JOHN R us-
SELL'S declaration against further reform, had the
Ministry at the same time given the Tories to un-
derstand that they meant to use the power of the

Crown and the favour of the Commons to overcome

the scruples of the Lords to do justice to the peo.
ple. But while the Ministry resolved to stop or-
ganic reform they forgot to secure the means of
accomplishing even the administrative reforms
which they thought necessary. They snubbed the
wild wishes of the people, but they did not
check the arrogance and oppression of the
Tory Lords. They did not deal out equal
justice to the two extremes between which they
stood, but favoured the policy of their opponents,
while they opposed their friends. One advantage
will, however, result from this. The long forbear-
ance of Lord MELBOURNE, the patience with which
he has submitted to the arrogance of the Tory Lords,
his obvious disinclination to bring into operation the
power with which he has been armed, must con-
vince all reflecting and moderate men that he has
no wish to annoy, much less to crush, either the
Peers or the Church ; and must make them admire
his steady preference of what he supposes his duty
(though we venture to differ in opinion from him),
to.any love of popularity, or desire of change. It
will also convince the Peers that he is no longer to
be trifled with ; and that conviction will at once
render them amenable to his voice, and make simi-
lar and further exertions of his power less necessary.
They will undoubtedly.be exercised, and to a greater
extent if required.
We look on the creation of Peers for the very
purpose of strengthening the Liberal party in the
Upper House, and the dismissal of the Duke of
NEWCASTLE, as the first steps towards recovering
for the Ministry the ground they have lost. Let
them follow them up by giving us a penny postage,
by uniting with the people in procuring the abolition
of the Corn-laws, by abolishing Church-rates and
Ecclesiastical Courts—let them persevere in ex-
tending the blessings of education, in spite of the
bigot howl of Priests against the progress of all
knowledge which they do not direct and controul—
let them permit, as they have hitherto wisely per•
mitted, the somewhat angry passions of the disap-
pointed and aspiring democracy, to have free ex-
pression, wearing themselves out, and they will quiet
the demand for organic reforms, by making them
less necessary. When the people can obtain good
government, without upsetting the Constitution
and throwing off all authority, they will cease to
set up a Convention of their own, and require a
Constitution which we may honestly suppose to be
impracticable, for it has never been tried.

AYLESBURY ELECTION.

Yesterday being the day appointed to put in nomination
one or more candidates for the Borough of Aylesbury, the
town at an early hour presented an animated appearance.
Banners and flags, with appropriate devices, were seen
flying in all directions, but up to the hour of twelve o'clock,
it was qmite unknown whether a third candidate would
be proposed, with the view of forcing Lord liugent
to the poll.

•
At twelve o'clock, the hour appointed, the doors of the
County Hall were thrown open, and the great body of the
constituents at once rushed in, and showed by their various
signs that the election was not to pass off so quietly as some
bad expected. The precept for the election having been
read, and the usual formalities having been attended to, the
Bribery Act was read amidst loud and continual peals of
laughter, both from Conservatives and Liberals.
Mr. ROBERT WHEELER, grocer of the town of Aylesbury,
then came forward amidst loud and long-continued cheers,
groans, and hisses, which for a time rendered him corn-
, pletely inaudible. After a few observations which were
very indistinctly beard he concluded by putting in nomi-
nation Captain John Charles Baillie Hamilton. This was
received with the most tumultuous vociferations, cheers,
groans, hisses, and yells.
Sir Jong DASIIWOOD KING, Baronet,then came forward
to second the nomination, and was received in pretty much
the same manner as the mover.
Lord Nugent and Mr. Lockart were then proposed on
the Liberal side.
A show of hands was then taken, and the returning offi.
cer declared in favour of Captain Hamilton.
A poll was then demanded on behalf of Mr. Lockart,
and Lord Nugent, and the poll was fixed for eight o'clock
this day.

The Reformers afterwards dined at the Crown Inn
where a number of loyal toasts were given, and an ex•
pressed determination was entered into to support Mr. Ca.
vendish at the next election.

NEWCASTLE-UPON-TYNE.

TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN.'
MONDAY, JULY 29, 1839, SEVEN O'CLOCK.
Sir,—About an hour ago, during the Assize Trials in
our Court, the Grand Jury brought in a true bill against
Bronterre O'Brien, Mr. Devyr, Mr. Thomason, Mr.
Ayre, and Mr. Mason. Every one in Court was thun-
derstruck, as not one word was ever beard of warrants
being out against them ; in fact, every man of them was at
large until a few minutes ago, when Mason was arrested ;
he has just passed up Dean street, and en immense crowd
following : the others are expected to be arrested every
moment. The town is in a dreadful state of excitement.
A public meeting is expected to be held to-morrow
night, to protest against the " augmentation of the police
and the military." A requisitoltus has been sent to the
Mayor to call the meeting; he gives an answer to-morrow.
It is said the meeting will be called by the requisitionists
should the Mayor refuse. What with the arrests and the
consequent excitement it will be hard to say what may be
the consequence.
