"DOUBLE SUN,"

rested his admission of the charge on the pro-
priety of ascertaining her character for veracity ; but
it had been proved that she had been insulted, and
proved that the Policemen were liars ; and, supposing
that she were an adulteress, that was no excuse for their
charging her with it in the street, and in addition, charg-
ing her falsely with having been imprisoned, and
otherwise insulting her. Sir FREDERICK had no busi-
ness whatever to enter into the investigation ; and no
man's, and still less no woman's, character can be safe,
if, when he or she go before a Police Magistrate to
claim redress for an assault, the party charged with
that offence may be at liberty at once, without any
warning, to bring forward an accusation which the
accuser may have no momentary means of rebutting.
The case is still more glaring and more mischievous,
however, when the persons committing the assault
are Policemen, bound to protect the public, and
their witnesses are brother Policemen, and the
person insulted a female of the humbler classes.
If any lounger in Regent-street had insulted Lady
ROE in a similar manner—if there be a Lady
ROE—and Sir FREDERICK had properly sum-
moned the insulter to Marlborough-street to an-
swer to the charge ; and then the insulter, after
being convicted of lying, had charged her Lady-
ship with going to a brothel, and had produced
several of his brother-loungers to prove—to use
POPE'S phrase—that she had been " whored," the
Marlborough-street Magistrate would have scouted
the scandalous attempt with great and becoming in-
dignation, as grievously adding to the injury already
inflicted on the lady. He would at once have said,
he would not inquire into a charge of adultery
against Lady ROE, in order to establish her charac-
ter for veracity. We want to know why Sir FREDE-
RICK did not mete out that measure to others he would
have insisted on having meted out to himself. The
answer probably will be, that Sir FREDERICK'S wife
is a lady. For our part, though it be an old-fashioned
gallantry, we desire to see all women treated as ladies,

WITH WHICH
THE " TRUE SUN " IS NOW
INCORPORATED.

LONDON :
SATURDAY EVENING, AUGUST 18. 1835

We refer our readers to another part of The Sun,
for a Report of the proceedings which took place at
the great meeting of the working classes held at Man-
chester on Thursday evening. The object of the
meeting was twofold—first, to keep up the remem-
brance of the horrible butchery of the people, in
1819, by the Tory Magistrates of that day ; and,
secondly, to further the cause of Reform, by adopt-
ing measures to secure Universal Suffrage, An-
nual Parliaments, and Vote by Ballot. In both
these objects we heartily concur. If ever the men
of Manchester forget the inhuman massacre of their
fellow-citizens, perpetrated on the 16th of August,
1819, may their " right hands forget their cunning."
Let them hold tl at day and its deeds in everlasting re-
membrance, not for the purpose of nursing plans of
moody revenge against the perpetrators of the atrocity—
that thought we know is the farthest possible from their
minds—but to stimulate their exertions in the
same great cause, for advocating which their fathers,
brothers, and sons, fell the victims of a bloodthirsty,
liberty-hating faction.
On the three cardinal points of Reform which we
have mentioned, we have so often declared our opinions,
that we deem it quite unnecessary to discuss them at
present. They are part and parcel of the rights of the
people, and, therefore, the people do well in striv-
ing to obtain them ; provided, in their endea-
yours to gain a good object, they resort only
to good means.. Union is undoubtedly the first
thing to be looked to, for without it every plan that
can be formel will prove utterly futile. But if we
rightly understand that it is intended to unite for the
purpose of a universal and simultaneous cessation
from work among the industrious classes, until they can
bring their political opponents to terms, we not only
think this a most absurd and impracticable scheme,
but enter our solemn protest against it, as one which,
were it capable of realization, would bring swift and
certain ruin on the working classes themselves.

An investigation yesterday took place at Bow-
street, before Sir F. ROE, Mr. TWYFORD, and Mr.
FARRANT, into the conduct of HENRY GRISS and
JAMES SELWAY, two Police Sergeants of the F Di-
vision, to which we think it desirable to direct public
attention.

It appears, by the report, that a married woman, of
the name of PoULTER, accompanied by her husband,
to whom she had made a complaint, charged the two
policemen with having, on Sunday week, grossly in-
suited her. Besides pulling her shawl, they accused
her of having been taken up for cat-stealing, and re-
flected on her chastity. It was proved that she had
never been taken up, and it was also proved by the
Superintendent of Police, and the evidence of the
Policemen themselves, that they had neglected their
duty ; that they had been together where they ought
not to have been ; and that they told a falsehood, by
declaring that they were not near the spot. By
their subsequent defence, grounded on an itnputa-
tion against her character, they tacitly admitted the
charge of insult and assault. Having been con-
victed of neglect of duty, and of telling a lie, they
turned round and attempted to excuse the assault by
asserting that the complainant was a woman of a light
character. We should have supposed that her character
had nothing to do with the Policemen insulting her,
but Sir F. ROE thought otherwise, and he said to
them, " If you have any witnesses to prove that she
is an improper character, and unworthy of credit, you
may call them." Thereupon these constables, who
had both insulted the woman and told lies, called
some other constables, and endeavoured to substantiate
against Mrs. POUL TER a charge of adultery. They
did not bring evidence that she was a street-walker or
guilty of public and notorious improprieties, but,
knowing her to be a married woman, that she had
formed an adulterous connection with another con-
stable. It turned .out to be a mere tale of scandal,
such as probably may be gathered at every corner, but,
whether true or not, does not concern the point which
we think worthy of public attention.
We wish to ask what business the Police Magis
trate had to go into any such investigation. If a
charge of adultery had been brought before him on the
part of her husband, he would have refused to investi-
gate it. But he did investigate such a charge when
made by two Policemen that they might get rid of a
charge against themselveF. Sir FREDERICK ROE

and whatever may be their character or station, pro-
tected from the insults of loungers and of the Police.
But Mrs. POULTER was the wife of a poor man, and
therefore the Magistrate, to give the lying Policemen a
chance of escape, went into the investigation of their
charge of adultery. Now, though such distinctions
and differences are habitually made between the
classes, the upper classes still think themselves
at liberty to abuse the humbler classes, because
they do not always respect and love the law. In-
sulted, injured, trodden on, harassed, tortured, as it
were, as they are, by idle gentlemen and meddling mi-
nions in authority, the poorer classes have too much
reason to hate those who are called their betters, and
nearly all those who arc invested with power. And
what punishment did these men meet with for this
treble offence—first the assault, then the lie, and then
the scandalous charge? They were fined 205., or
ten days' imprisonment. The insulter of Lady RoE,
we take leave to suppose, would have had to expiate
his offence by three months on the treadmill.

The Lae Union for the defence of the Established
Church, on the subject of the education of the poor,
has just put forth a second address, in which the plan
of placing all education in the hands of the Established
Clergy, is, consistently with the existence of the Es-
talAishment, insisted on. We do not quarrel with
that conclusion, as we think it one of the necessary
consequences of an Establishment. To have and to
pay an Established Clergy is to make them responsible
for the moral teaching of the community, and we see
no justice and no consistency in imposing that
responsibility on them unless they are allowed
to controul the education of the whole people.
Tills necessary consequence of an established
priesthood is, in our estimation, one of the
most powerful arguments which can be brought against
having an established priesthood. Consistently, how-
ever, with the great respect which the Lay Union has
for the Church, it says, that " had the State remem-
bered its duty, and properly filled up the outline of a
Church Establishment bequeathed to it by the piety
of our ancestors, there would have been in all proba-
bility but little cause for complaint in the present
day as to the want of popular education." The
Lay Union, not content with the power and
the wealth now enjoyed by the established priesthood,
has been formed to add to that power and wealth, and
it blames the State for not having before done so.
The Manifesto of the Union has been recommended
to notice by the Times, and is, therefore, independently
of the paramount importance of the objects proposed,
worthy of attention.
It will at once occur to the opponents of the Lay
Union that in those States where the outline of a
Church Establishment has been carefully filled up,
such as in Italy and Spain, the want of popular and
useful education is far greater than here. It will
also occur to them that amongst those sects
in England, such as the Quakers, the Unitarians, the
'Methodists, and others who have no Established Church,
the education of their people is far more carefully at-
tended to than the education of the congregations of
the Established Priesthood. The Romanists, whose
establishments have hitherto been most carefully pre-
served, as witness the Spanish, the Portuguese, and
the Italian peasantry, are comparatively ignorant, un-
enlightened, and superstitious. The Friends, without
either Priests or costly Churches, are amongst the best
informed, most intelligent men of this intelligent and
enlightened community. At the same time the con-
gregations of the Church of England, as witness the
Canterbury fanatics, who supply a fair specimen of the
whole, though they have the advantage of living
in the neighbourhood of sects who are much im-
proved, are, next to the peasantry of Portugal and
Spain, amongst the least informed portion of mankind.
We have not space to-day to substantiate this state-
ment by extracts from the excellent " Report made to
the Central Society of Education on the state of the
Peasantry at Boughton, Herne-hill, &c.," by F.
LIARDET, Esq., M.A., Barrister-at-law ; but the evi-
dence which it contains of the lamentable ignorance of
the people in the immediate vicinity of Canterbury,
many of them living on the estates of the Church,
is melancholy and astounding. " The greater part of
Tirom's followers," says the Report, " believed him
to be JESUS CHRIST, and considered that they were
not only justified in obeying him as their LORD, but
that disobedience would entail on them eternal
damnation." Most of these followers of the Church
could " read a little in the Testament," but not gene-
rally in any other book, and reading that under the
direction of the Priesthood, their minds were ready to
believe any assertions which corresponded to their
limited and peculiar knowledge. But the fact that
the humbler classes who compose the congregations of
the State Church are little better informed than the
peasantry of Portugal or Spain, and are lamentably
ignorant as compared to the frequenters of the cha-
pel and the meeting-house, is too notorious to
require much elucidation. Now, if such be the
facts, what reason has the enlightened public, or
on what reason can the State be justified in "fillip
up the outline of the Establishment," and placing edu-
cation, more than at present, in the hands of the Clergy.
In the present conflict of opinion, as to the influ-
ence of an Established Priesthood combined with
scores of propositions, to increase their power, it can•
not be too much insisted on that the Friends have no
Priests, and that they are amongst the most religious and
virtuous of the great family of mankind; while the Ro-

manists generally, particularly where they are established,
who, like the Episcopal Church of England, have a great
multitude of Priests, are, according to their accusers
of the Church, amongst the least virtuous and least
dignified of all civilized men. In these facts—and
they are very important—we see every reason why the
Press of this country should oppose the efforts of the
Lay Union, and of all the aiders and abettors of the
Priesthood, in their present attempts to obtain increased
wealth and power.

pleadings were to commence on the morning after he com-
mitted the fatal deed, which is attributed to his despair at the
receipt of a letter from a young lady to whom he was affianced
in Belgium, stating that, even if he were acquitted, she
could not consent to their union before she had perused all
the legal documents connected with his case. The rash act is
supposed to have been committed at an early hour in the
morning. The evening before the unfortunate prisoner bad
appeared in high spirits, and had played at cards till ten o'clock
at night."
" INSANITY.-A deplorable event lately took place at Che-
non, in the department of the Charente-Inferieure. M. A.
Defacroix-Durepaire, aged 25, possessing a fortune of 30,000
francs a-year, had for a couple of years been deranged. His
madness consisted in looking on every one as an enemy, and
he was in constant fear either of poison or a violent death.
In this state of mind he retired lately to a farm-house, where,
however, he had not long resided when he became a prey to
the same delusions, increased to an alarming degree ; a tree,
a piece of furniture, a fowl, or a cat, seemed to him a mur-
derer, about to attack him. In one of his paroxysms he
seized a lighted torch, and ran in all directions, setting fire to
everything that came in his way, heedless of himself, and rush-
ing into the flames. A labourer having attempted to seize
him, he took up a loaded gun, fired it, and broke the poor
man's arm. The gendarmerie having arrived, he was taken
to the prison of Saintes, where his mother has since' gone to
attend him. The loss of property in buildings, puncheons of
brandy, wheat, &c., which they contained, and which were all
destroyed, is estimated at 50,000 fr.

One of the hereditary legislators has all but ex-
hausted the alphabet in heaping epithets of abuse on
Mr. O'CONNELL. We doubt much if any Radical
in the United Kingdom has so rich a vocabulary, or
could have indited a letter containing " elegant ex-
tracts" at all to be compared to the following, which
we take from the last production of the Mast Noble

Profligate adventurer—common blackguard—well-defined
coward—dunghill demagogue—foul example—potato plebeian
face—great talents hellishly perverted—foul-mouthed hypo-

The Paris Journals of Thursday have all been re-
ceived, but their contents are not of much political
interest. In one of the Ministerial papers we find an
intimation, which may be regarded as semi-official, to
the effect that France will not be satisfied with less
than a formal vote of the Swiss Vorort for the expul-
sion of Prince LOUIS NAPOLEON BONAPARTE from
the territory of the Republic. The National justly
ridicules the petty malignity of the Government in
turning the political influence of a powerful nation
into an instrument for the persecution of an individual
whose projects find no sympathy. " The son of the
Duchess of ST. LETT," caustically observes that Jour-
nal, " may remai❑ for ever in his chateau of Arenen-
berg without compromising the tranquillity of
France ; there will be no occasion for the appearance
of the Gallic cock under the walls of Constance, to
expel the offspring of the Imperial eagle." The truth
is, that the French Government seeks the humiliation
of the Swiss Diet, rather than the expulsion of any
Citizen of the Republic—a fact which has not escaped
the notice of the majority of the Swiss Deputies.
Several of the French Journals appear to represent
the advent of a war as nearer at hand than the majority
of persons are disposed to believe. From the tenor
of the following paragraph from the Courrier Francais
of Thursday, it would seem that France has resolved
not to be taken unawares :

Brussels and German Papers of the latest dates

extracts from them :

COLOGNE, AUG. 12.—The last published number of the
official Journal of the Government of Dusseldorff contains the
following notice of 26th July last :
" His Majesty the King has been graciously pleased to
acknowledge by the following Cabinet Order, of 3 Ist May, the
good and conciliatory spirit shown by the Catholic and Pro-
testant inhabitants of Wernelskirehen, and in particular that of
the Catholics, in giving to the Protestants the joint use of their
church while their own was under repair :
" You receive the annexed extract from the last report in
the Journals of the Government of Dusseldorf, with directions
to convey to the Catholics and Protestant inhabitants of
Wernelskirchen an acknowledgment, in my name, of the
good and conciliatory spirit which both have manifested,
especially the former, by allowing the use of their church to
the latter.'

CORONATION OF THE EMPEROR OF AUSTRI 4.—A programme
of eight folio pages has been published of the Emperor's in-
tended entrance into Milan. Besides the usual suite on such
occasions, eig,hty-three banner-bearers, of as many Imperial
cities, will follow the Emperor's chariot. The procession ends
at the Cathedral, from thence the members of it to go on foot
to the Palace. On the day of homage-paying the ceremony
will take place on the hill of Caryatides, where Count Inzachi
will read the oaths in Italian. The Coronation itself is to be
performed by the Cardinal Patriarch of Venice, and the Car-
dinal Archbishop of Milan. The latter anoints the Emperor,
but the iron crown will be set upon his head by the Patriarch
of Venice. The youngest Cardinal girds on the imperial
sword, the elder hands the globe. The coronation procession
will proceed from the Palace to the Cathedral, where the Em-
peror will be received by the two Archbishops and eighteen
Bishops. The Emperor, with his crown and screptre, will
walk back on foot to the Palace. The two Archbishops alone
dine at the table of the Imperial family on that day.
The heir to the Russian throne had reached Ems, and was
to be in Milan by the sth of September.
The Diario di Roma of the 4th inst. states that Cardinal
Fransoni had consecrated Bishop of Poros, in partibus, the
Rev. John Thomas Hynes, of Cork, the present coadjutor of
tile Bishop of Zante and Cephalonia.
The Leipsic Universal Gazette of the 11th inst. denies that
the Emperor Nicholas had paid a visit to the King of Prussia,
at Potsdam, on the 3d inst.
The Queen of Naples was delivered on the Ist inst. of a
Prince, who received the name of Louis Marie.

All our letters from the north and east describe the extra-
ordinary activity reigning in the forts and citadels of Lille,
Donay, Conde, Valenciennes,.Bouchatn, Maubeuge, Quesney,
Cumbrai, Avesnes, Landrectes. Rocroy, Mezieres. Sedan,
Montrnedi, Verdun, Longwy, Thionviile, Metz, Bitehe, Mar-
sal, Toul, Phalsbourg, Lauterbourg, Strasburg, Scheltstadt,
Neuf brisach, Belfort, Besancon, &c. All the,e strong places,
repaired since 1830, had hitherto remained on the strictest
peace establishment, but of late much exertion and care have
been used in augmenting their garrisons, and in placing their
materiel on a respectable footing."

The following official article, which appeared in the
Auzsburg Gazette of the 12th instant, shows that in
the opinion of the Great Northern Powers, the exer-
cise of a proper degree of firmne.3s and prudence is
adequate to the removal of every cause for such a ca-
lamity as that of a war in any part of Europe. We
are precisely of the same opinion, as far as relates to
the Hollando-Belgic, the Spanish, and the Turkish
questions:—
_ _

" The most important political questions, those. of Spain,
Belgium, and Egypt, have arrived at a maturity which de-
mands a prompt and vigorous settlement, otherwise the tran-
quillity of Europe may be compromised. A month past
circumstances occurred which show a perfect tact on the
part of the Great Powers, as well as their firm desire to
decide in a rapisl, but peaceful menuer, all those ques-
tions, which to the great injury of the people and the
progress of civilization have but too long filled the entire
world with disturbance. Without deceiving themselves as to
their pawer, they believe that they can accomplish; by com-
mon consent, that which would •be impracticable to them
singly. Spain alone is in a peculiar situation, and one
does not know how to apply to this country the general
rule. The Powers, it is said, have resolved to act in con-
cert and to settle, if possible, the difficulties which still
oppose themselves to the settlement of the differences between
Holland and Belgium, and to the establishment of peace between
the Sultan and his Viceroy. It is hoped that the embassy
to London will attain more easily its object, as the King of
Holland shows himself animated by a spirit of conciliation,
and appears disposed to treat with Belgium upon certain
conditions. Thus there will be at last obtained a result
long wishtd for.
" But in order to make sure of the consent of the King of
Holland, instead of judging of his views from vague indica-
tions, the Conservative powers have resolved to state their in-
tentions to the Cabinet of the Hague, and thus relieve it from
all doubt as to their views ; and, on the other hand, the two
maritime powers will give to the politics of the Belgium Go-
vernment such a direction that reconciliation between the two
parties may be the consequence. After having obtained ex-
planation?, the powers will agree upon the means conducive to
the desired end, and to the arrangement of the differences
which, for six years, have distressed Europe. It is said that
instructions to be expeditious have reached the Ambassadors
of the great Powers at the Hague and at Brussels, who are to
settle it with as little delay as possible, and then to send a re-
port to their respective Governments, as well as to the Confe-
rence in London.

In the afternoon of yesterday the British Market had a heavy
appearance and Consols receded from the morning prices, 94i
to 94 for the Account, and from 94 to 93/ 94, Money.
This re-action in general is attributed to the still unsettled
state of affairs between the Dutch and Belgians, as well as the
French Government having given orders to put the fortresses on
the side of Belgium in a warlike attitude. This has the ap-
pearance that the differences of Belgium will not be so soon
adjusted as was at first anticipated.

" It appears that the great Powers intend to follow the same
system to settle the difficulties of the question of the East, and
to stop the continual tendency of Mehemet Ali to declare
himself independent, with this difference only, that each
Power will act according to the interests and the position
which it has to defend, without, however, losing sight of the
general view, that peace is necessary, and ought to be main-
tained at any price. It is reported that each of the great
Cabinets has caused to be drawn up for its Consul residing in
Egypt instructions conceived in this spirit, which are to be
followed rigorously."
From the north of Spain the only intelligence of
any moment received in Paris on Thursday, consisted
of the following despatch from General San MIGUEL
to the Military Governor of Saragossa, dated Pableta,
the 7th inst. :

" After a march of six days, I have safely joined the Com-
mander-in-Chief and the army of reserve with the convoy
under my orders. To-morrow I shall proceed on my march
towards Morella, where I may probably arrive the day after.
The enemy made a new attack against the blockading forces,
but was repulsed with loss. Cabrera lost his horse and mantle,
and saved himself by flying across the fields."
The following extracts from the Paris Papers of
Thursday include all the gossip they contain of any in-
terest to an English reader :
AUSTRIAN EMBASSY. - During the absence of Count

from Madrid. Espartero bad ordered three batteries of can-
non to be sent to Labraza, to protect the workmen, and was
himself expected at Viana on the 9th. He was reported to
have said to some of his officers—' Estella must be taken.
That once done, the cause of liberty will be saved. If the
Ministers consent to my demands, I shall remain at your
head—if not, I shall make every preparation for my suc-
cessor, and will serve under him.' News had arrived at
Viana that Leon-el-Conde had taken all the outworks of Ci-
ranqui, and that as soon as the artillery had joined him, he
was to attack the town. The taking of this place would be
of advantage for the operations against Estella.—Paris Paper.

Accounts received at Bordeaux, by the schooner l'Aigle,
the Bth June, from Tabasia, states that the above province was
on the eve of being the theatre of great disorders, the federal
party having advanced within sixty miles of Vera Cruz, and it
expected they would enter that town, as the inhabitants
was
r-edisposed to favour them, and furnish that party with a
large sum of money. The result of these dissensions is to pre-
vent the Mexican Government from opposing the French
Squadron which blockades Vera Cruz.
