FOR THE SUN.

MR. EDITOR-It has been with sensations of
disgust and deep regret that I have often read
the barkings at the India House, respecting the
conversion of the natives of India and a Free
Press.

It seems to me astonishing that party spirit
should lead men so far astray from common sense
as the speeches of Mr. Hunic and Mr. BUCKING-
HAM were, at the India House last week, in at-
tributing the late mutiny at Barrackpore to the
Censorship on the Press. I am not surprised at the
latter doing so from interested motives ; but that
Mr. HUME should offer such an opinion, and per-
sist in endeavouring to remove the Censorship on
the Press at such a time as this, makes me think
that his head and heart do not act in conjunc-
tion. It is to be hoped that Parliament will take
up the business, and see it in its proper light,
before it is too late.

It appears to me that the immediate cause of
the mutiny may arise from the Sepoys' allow-
ances or indulgences being curtailed, or perhaps
from something more frivolous. Where there is
a disposition to insubordination, a pretext may
always be found, but the predisposing cause or
evil should be probed to its source, or a conti-
nuance of subordination will not follow. In my
opinion nothing less than a solemn declaration
from this Government, and also from the Indian
Government to the natives of India, that they
will not in future, directly or indirectly, interfere
with their religion, will quiet their minds, and
make them obedient (for any length of time) to
their military law and civil government. It was
always a maxim with that good man, Marquis
CORNWALLIS, never to interfere, or allow any of
the Company's Servants to interfere, with their i
religion, and for this reason he was' beloved by
all the native inhabitants, and I believe him to
have been as pure a Christian as any of the stre-
nuous advocates for converting the Hindoos to
Christianity.
I am sorry to see that we have schools in
different parts of the country, which we avow
are instituted to undermine their religion.—
Most of the Brahmins and many of the other
natives are sensible men, and see the drift
of this, and bias the minds of all the lower
orders ; from this circumstance alone, the
greater part of the inhabitants are disaffected
to our Government, and would change their dis-
position if they saw a determined resolution on
the part of Government not to interfere with
their religion ; but this must not be done by half
measures; some decisive step must be followed.
The removal of Governor-General will not do,
unless some such measures as are here proposed
are followed by the successor.
If the Missionaries were sent home, it would
have ten times as good effect as any change in
the administration. For the sake of humanity,
and for the welfare of our Indian possessions,
and our own country, I hope some such mea-
sures will be adopted, and that it may have the
desired effect of making the inhabitants of India
sensible of the happiness our Government is cal-
culated to ensure to them, and that peace and
good will soon follow, is the wish of

the most decided approval and recommendation ; in fact,
many Physicians of the greatest celebrity have declared, that
the-Patent Preparations of Barley and Groats excel all other
articles in• use, as a Food fur Children, &e. The Patent
:Barley makes Superior Barley Cater in Ten Minutes, and is
ififinitely better than the common Baxley for thickening
Veal, Mutton and other Broths; it is also Inthe highest re-

in winding up the accounts, not only every

THE THEATRE.

HA Ir7,IAEKET.--017 Saturday Mr. J. VINING,
brother of Mr. VINING, one of the established
performers of this Theatre, came forward as
Octavian, in The Mountaineers. He is in person
well qualified for the London Stage, and we
doubt not will appear to more advantage when
he is more farnilarized to that Stage. We mast,
however, see more of him before we presume ,to
decide upon his general merits. He has a high
provincial reputation, we understand, and there-
fore may reasonably expect to find support in the
metropolis. After the Play, a very pleasant
Farce, entitled The Epaulette, was represented
for the first time. The story is simple. The
Duke of Vendome (VINING) has brought up
Eugene (Mrs. T. HILL), the supposed son of a
peasant. On the eve of an intended journey, he
goes to take leave of Emily (Miss P. GLovea),
but previously visits his tent, and finds that one
of his pages is absent. As they all dressed
alike and are asleep he knows not which is the
absent one. In the moan time Victor (Madame
lir,sTais), the Page, returning; and hearing the
Duke, pretends to fall asleep like the other. The
Duke detects him by the palpitation of his heart,
and, that he may know him the next day, cuts off
his Epaulette. The cunning Page, to avoid dis-
covery, cats off the Epaulettes of all the other
Pages. Baffled in his pursuit, the Duke tries
another expedient, but is again defeated by the
ingenuity of the Page, who finally appears to be
his own son, and the piece concludes, according
to custom, in the happiness of all parties. The
piece amusing intrinsically, and is rendered
much snore so by the spirited support which it
derives from VINING, Madame Viurritis, Mrs. T.
HILL, Miss A. JONES, WILLIAMS, Miss P.
GLovEit, and that excellent actress Mrs.
GLOVER. It was well received throughout, and
is a very diverting addition to the facetious drama-
tic stores of this Theatre, so convenient in size
and so skilful in construction.

LONDON MARKETS.

CORN EXCHANGE, OCT. 24.
Last week we had a good supply of Grain in general, and an
abundant quantity of Flour. The fresh supplies of this morn.
ing from Essex, Kant, and Suffolk are moderate, and not much
fresh in from the North. Prime Wheat is scarce, and being
wanted obtains last week's terms.readily ; other kinds are very
dull but not lower. The Barley trade is nearly stagnant at last
week's terms. In Beans and Pease there is no alteration. Oats
find buyers at 'about the same terms as this day se'nnight.
There is no alteration in the price of Flour. Very little doing
in the Seed market at present.

DARING itonnEtty.--=-On W;dnesday evening,
between six and seven o'clock, the warehouse of Mr. Williana
Atkinson, No. 6, Great Winchester-street, Broad-street, city,
was broken into and robbed Of between 25 and 30 pieces of Irish
linen of the finest quality, and a quantity of table linen. The
robbers got clear otl, and no trace has yet been discovered eialer
to them or to the property.

FEROCITY OF•AN Ass.—The following extra-
ordinary circumstance occurred at Oundle on
Monday se'imight.— Between eight and nine
o'clock in the evening., a lad named Samuel
Sismey took a hnrse to close near lishlron Mea-
dow, and on his return was attacked by adonkey,
which sprang upon him, threw him down and be-
gun to worry him in a dreadful manner, making
at the same time a most hideous noise ;.fortunate-
ly a man who was returning from Polebrodk,
hearing
poor theb Boise, ran to the spot, and delivered
frontthe the merciless clutches of the
beast, or there is every reason to apprehend he
i
would have'been killed ; as it was, he was very
severely bitten.—(Lincolq Mercury.)

ETON COLLEGE.

TO THE EDITOR.
SlR—However natural may he the interest ex-
cited in the public mind by the late melancholy event at Eton,
I am sure you will be of opinion that nothing ought to be put
forth which may be needlessly painful to the feelings of those
who are already deeply afflicted.
I think it therefore my duty to inform you, that my pupil,
Colonel Wood's son, remained in my house from about ten mi-
nutes before six on Monday night until three in the afternoon
of the following Wednesday, when he accompanied his father to
Littleton. Could I have been so wanting in delicacy as to per-
mit him to appear as usual after such a calamity, his own severe
affliction would have made any such unfeeling exposure im-
possible.
No warrant was issued until after he had left me, nor did any
constable enter my house. On Saturday my pupil was at Ayles-
bury with Colonel Wood.
Having been present at the inquest, and also much interested
in making inquiries with a view to relieve Colonel Wood's feel-
ings on this dreadful event, I am able to assure you that the
only report of what has occurred, now full of errors and mis-
representations, is that contained in the- Windsor Express of
Saturday.
[ have ascertained, tlsat three gentlemen on their return from
hunting, aboutfifty minutes after the combat had commenced,
came into the playing field, out of their way, as spectators, and
remained there for nearly ten minutes, apparently amused by
what they saw, and then rode away without interfering. It is
to be hoped that these gentlemen, whose names are (unknown,
will inform the public that they saw nothing which called for
their interference, or at least that some allowance will be made
for unthinking boys, very few of whom were in the upper part
of the school, for not exerting themselves, as elder boys would
have done, to prevent the continuance of a scene which was
sanctioned by the voluntary presence of those who had no ex-
cuse for their inhumanity.
I am, Sir, your obedient servant,

Mr. S. WORTLEY brought forward his motion

last night, for limiting the time for presenting
Petitions complaining of infringements of the
Standing Orders of the House regarding appli-
cations for Private Bills, and after a just, but
ineffectual opposition, on the part of Lord Mu-
TON and Mr. CALcuAF•r, carried it without a di-
vision ; and it, is, in consequence, now the order
of the House of Commons that no such Petition
shall be received AFTER, the FIRST READING of .a
Private Bill. We cannot but think this
regulation very unadvisedly adopted : for it will
render ineffectual and nugatory all the Standing
Orders which have been framed for the protec-

Lion of the public, to prevent speculators and
jobbers in Railway Shares, Canals, Docks, &c.
invading the property of Landholders, and
destroying the privacy and comfort of their resi-
dences, without affording them an opportunity of
urging their objections in that House which can
alone afford them relief. The public will best
understand the effect of this new and singular
regulation by considering its effect and conse-
quences on proceedings upon Private Bills.
For the protection of persons interested in the
consequences of private Bills, the Standing Or-
ders of the House require that parties soliciting
the sanction of the Legislature to a scheme for
making a canal or rail-way, &c. shall deposit
with the Clerk of the Peace of the County a
plan and section, describing the lands and the
level of the country through which the intended
line is to pass, and a duplicate or copy of such
plan in the Private Bill Office, before their Pe-
tition can be received. The intention of this re-
gulation
is obvious. The plan deposited with the
Clerk of the Peace is open to public inspection,
and affords to all parties the means of ascertaining
the manner in which this property will be affect-
ed. The plan deposited in the Private Bill
Office is also open to public inspection, but it is
intended more particularly for the use of the Le-
gislature, and to form the ground-work and foun-
dation of the proposed Act of Parliament. It is
evidently therefore of the first importance that the
two plans should exactly correspond ; and any
variation is calculated to inflict the greatest injury
both upon the public and individuals. Now, under
the new regulation, a party having deposited a
very plausible and unobjectionable plan and sec-
tion with the Clerk of the Peace, may introduce
great and extremely objectionable variations into
the plan and section deposited in the Private Bill
Office, and on the same day present his Petition,
which is immediately referred to a Committee,
who sit and report the following day, upon which
the Bill is brought in and read a first time;
and thus he may with impunity evade the regula-
tions and Standing Orders of the House, for all

STANDING ORDERS.
•-
Mr. S. WORTLEY moved the following Resolution :--
" That the House do not receive any petition on a private Bill
referring solely to the compliance or non-compliance with the
Standing Orders, after said Bill shall have been read a first

time."

Mr. CURWEN seconded the Resolution.
Mr. SYKES mentioned a case that occurred that day, which
he thought made the Resolution necessary.
Mr, W. PEEL invited any Hon. Member who doubted the
inconvenience of the present system, to attend the Manchester
and Liverpool Rail-way Committee then sitting.
Lord MILTON strongly opposed the Resolution. If it
agreed to the promoting any private bill, they would merely
have to hurry on the first reading as fast as was consistent
with the Orders of the House, and then all complaint would be
put an end to.
Mr. S. WORTLEY said a few words in explanation. We
understood the Hon. Member to say, that any objections may
be considered in the general Committee on the Bill.
Lord MlLlON.resumed. Who were the persons that went
before the Standing Order Committee ? Solely the promoters
of the Bill ; and yet, on the shewing of these persons, the Com-
mittee reported that the Standing Orders had been complied
with. The Noble Lord concluded by declaring his opposition
to the resolution, from a conviction that too early a limit would
be placed by it to the time for petitioning.
W• DUND S was opposed to .the Resolution. The
Hon. „Member, in answer to the explanation of the Hon. Mover
of the Resolution, said, that no question of the Standing Or-
ders could be brought before the Committee on the Bill.
Mr.- CALCR AFT was strongly opposed to the Resolution.
if the .Upuse.should aitree to it, its effect would be to make the
Committee decide. c.a the ex-parte statements of the persons in-
terested in carrying the Bill through. The Hop, Member made
some further observigions in support of his yiew of the subject.
Mr. LITTLETON was in favour of the Resolution. If
time were given after the first reading, he was of opinion that it
would be employed perhaps in getting astute lawyers to find
frivolous and vexatious objections to the Bill. •
After a few words from. Mr. CROKER, the Resolution was
put from the Chair, and agreed to.
Sir H. PARNELL gave notice of a motion for to-morrow
relative to the Irish Butter Trade.
Mr. LASCELLES presented a petition from Northallerton

FOR THE SUN.

IMPORTANCE OF THE -CATHOLIC•DENOmINA
TION.

Mr. EDITOR-Mr. CANNING in a late debate,
apologized for using the term Catholics as applied to the Irish
Papists. This apology was favourable to them; for while the
Papists are endeavouring to recover those privileges of which
the Constitution of England, for its own safety thought tit to
deprive them, is it not matter of wonder that they shotild frame
their demands in terms which must necessarily be offensive
to those to whom they apply, and who are to grant or refuse
assent ?

They plead for Emancipation—as if they were held in :la
very,—as if their religious worship were not publicly and per.
fectly allowed in its fullest freedom, in all its splendours of core.
London, England, 1825-03-08

monial rite.

They preys to Emancipation the word -Catholic, as if the
whole Christian Church was enslaved in England; or as if the
King of England and all his subjects were not memberi of the
Catholic Church of Christ.

If they really wish to be heard with candour, why do they
not come forward in sincerity of heart and language, and say
:that the Papists wish to share the privileges of Englishmen in
corrtuion with the other members of the Christian Church in
England ?—But oh! the Papists wish to share the privilegeS of
England ? An Englishman believes, and. he enjoys the right
of openly declaring, that every man who worships God and
trusts in ChriSt, whatever be his mode of worship, is a Chris-
tian, and a member of the universal Christian Church. This is
one of the privileges of Englishmen, which they have enjoyed
ever since the ReVolution in 1688. The Papist may believe
the same; but does he dare partake the privilege of openly de-
claring his belief?—He requires to be spared the declaration
that the King of England is the head of the Catholic or whole
Church of Christ :—will he admit that he is the head of the
Protestant Church ? Will he admit that there is such a thing
as a Protestant Church ?—lf he will not, how can he pretend
to sincerity ? he dare not, how can he, though sincere, ask
to share a perfect community with other Englishmen ?—Let
him first obtain freedom. (or if he prefers the term, Emancipa-
tion) at Rome, and he will then justly sue for it in England.
