TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUP. 1
SIR,—I beg to correct an error which has appeared in
your paper of the 22d inst., relative to the launch of her
Majesty's ship Trafalgar.
It was Lady Bridport, the niece of the late Lord Nel-
son, who armed the ship, by breaking the bottle, and not
Mrs. Hornby.
It was Mr. Lang, the master shipwright of the dock-
yard, who built and launched the Trafalgar, that ex-
plained to her Majesty and Prince Albert the process by
which the launch was effected, and not Sir Wm. Symonds.
I am, Sir, &c. &c.,

PAYING FOR REPARTEE.--Duelling was not
only resorted to by men of the sword, but by men of
finance ; and the celebrated Law of Lauriston, who was
placed at the head of this department, had commenced
his famed career by several hostile meetings. Howbeit,
he so managed matters as not to compromise the secu-
rity of his gambling-house in the. rue Quincampoix by
derers was a Count Horn,
quarrels, although an assassination ultimately exposed
this hell to a serious investigation. One of the mur-
a Belgian nobleman of dis-
tinguished family ; but who, notwithstanding the power-
ful interest made in his behalf, was sentenced to be
broken on the wheel. The BeE,rent in this case was in-
flexible; nor would he even commute the punishment
into a less degrading execution. This firmness was
attributed to his partiality for his creature Law, whose
bank was of great assistance to his constant debaucheries.
Madame de Crequi, who was a relative of the criminal,
and who exerted her best endeavours to save him, attri-
butes this murder of what she calls " the Jew who had
.robbed him," to other motives ; and asserts that his
Highness's implacable hostility arose from having once
found him with one of his favourites, the Countess do
Parabere ; when the Duke disdainfully said to him,
" Sortez, Monsieur !" to which the other replied, "Your
ancestors, sir, would have said Sortons !"—Dr.

gen's History of Duelling.

LIBERATION OF MR. W. BAINFS. I
LEICESTER, JITNE 23. -Mr. William Baines, Vie
Church-rate victim, after an imprisonment of more than
seven months, having been incarcerated on the 13th of
November last, was released this morning ; and, on
quitting the prison, without coming into the town at all,
started immediately for Hallaton, a village at some dis-
tance, where his parents and some of his brothers reside.
Mr. Baines has not paid the rate, nor have any of his
friends. Probably you in the metropolis are nearer the
source from whence the money came than we are her 3.
I was with him yesterday afternoon, shortly before the
hour for closing the gates of the gaol. He was in good
health and spirits.

GREAT ANTI-CORN-LAW TEA PARTY AT
LEICESTER.
A very large Anti-Corn-law tea party was held at
Leicester on Monday evening, in the Theatre Royal,
the Mayor in the chair. More than 1,200 tickets were
issued, and considerably more than that number sat
down to tea, after which some excellent speeches were
delivered.

-----
POLITICAL DUTY.
TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN.
SIR,—To those who have been engaged in can-
vassing for the ensuing election, it is evident
that throughout the country there is an opinion
becoming more and more prevalent that Reli-
gionists should not interfere in political matters.
Having in some cases found that these senti-
ments had their origin in a pamphlet published
some years ago, entitled " Man unfit to govern
Man," and knowing, from personal acquaint-
ance with the author of that work, that he, of all
men, would denounce political apathy, and that
his pamphlet did not urge a withdrawment
from politics on any except on those whose
religious principles
.forbid it, I felt it my duty to
have an interview with him, to see if he would not
unite with me in counteracting by the public
press any misuse of his tenets. He very promply
referred me to the following passages of his
book, as sufficient for my puipose, and de-
nounced most strongly any unjust and slothful
advantage which the " lax and lukewarm with-
out religion might take of his principles, under
which to shelter their supineness and cowardice."
Adding, however, that, for himself, he was still
firm in his principles, that he was still willing
to meet his opponents through the public
press; and that he thought it would be well
for " the Nonconformist" and other able por-
tions of the press, to answer the pamphlet he
had already published, and to meet their argu-
ments before they ridicule their conclusions.
The extracts are as follow :
If, however, there be any who should read this ad-
dress, and still entertain contrary views of religion, I
should be sorry if anything I may say should, in the
least degree, lead them to greater slothfulness in the per-
formance of things they believe to be right. Dost thou
still remain a politician ? use all thine energies in pro-
moting the great measures thou thinkest to be right.
" Whatsoever thy hand findeth to do, do it with all thy
might." Let not politics be thy plaything ; let it be thy
daily work ; pursue it not for thy own aggrandizement,
but for thy neighbour's and thy country's good.
Let not the object of this address, nor the feelings
with which it is dictated, be misunderstood. lam not one
who take no interest and feel no inclination to take part in
the exciting struggles of the day. lam not unmoved at
the sight of injustice, nor insensible to the pleasures of
a successful combat. If I were led by my inclinations
alone, I should oft, like the Hebrew patriot, be tempted to
smite him who doeth the wrong ; but my principles
forbid, and with a question that defies all interference,
ask, "Who made thee a ruler or judge amongst us 2"
I write not to favour the man who, while he believes
political interference to be consistent with his duties, is
too indifferent to the wrongs which others feel, to assist
them in their removal—the man who will not engage in
what he believes to be right, because of the trouble and
inconvenience to which it may expose him. No ! I
would say, if religion forbad it not, every man ought to
become a politician. . • • • • • •
Let me again not be misunderstood ; I do not say
men of the world should not legislate one for another ;
some laws are necessary, End those who do not know, or
will not have, the laws of God, must make laws for
themselves lf politics arc to be
pursued, it is necessary that some should devote their
time and their minds to it, and who is to decide whether
this shall be you or I ? Who is to tell one man that on
him and his family are to fall all those bitter conse-
quences before stated, while another is to go fre.o ? Such
false reasoning and such partial practice is the founda-
tion of all political evils and corruptions. It is this oc-
casional dabbling in politic's, and not giving the mind to
it, this occasional performing " some of the duties" with-
out having even learnt its theory, this leaving other peo-
ple to learn, to think, to act for you, while you only lend
your sanction, that has given to knavery all its opportu-
nities, and to oppression all its power.
It is to you half politicians that we are indebted for
the choice of law-makers whom you never knew, and for
the support of measures you never gave yourselves the
trouble to understand. It is to you who put your names
to petitions you never read, and on subjects you never
studied ; you who are ever ready to huzza your private
friends, though they may be your country's foes ; you,
who have a ready vote for the first applicant or the
highest bidder, who care not whether you send in a
Waithman to-day or a Lyall to-mrrow ; it is to you we
are indebted (if indebted at all) for the waste of our pro-
perty and the slavery of our persons. Think not, then,
that you do your duties or effect your country's good by
devoting a few hours of bribery or indolence to political
matters. No ; politics, if pursued, must be pursued with
vigilance and faithfulness, and if there is any one prin-
ciple of Jesus that applies to politics, it is this,—" What-
soever thy hand findeth to do, do it with all thy might."
These then, Sir, are his sentiments, and I feel
confident he would denounce, with a bitter scorn,
the shuffling cowards who can join with the world
for every base purpose of pleasure or profit, and
plead religious separation only when the mental
activity and disinterested energies of a political
struggle require them to unite. Yours,
June 21, 1841. AXtsEicc.
