14.117:141N1NG EDITION.

A CAP FITS.

We copy from the Standard of last night the
following amusing proof of painful sensitiveness in
the friends of the Church :

DR. LARDNER.
FROM A CORRESPONDENT.)
In last evening's Sun there appears, in a very prominent
place, and distinguished by a very attractive heading, a Pa-
ragraph commencing thus :
" The Reverend Dr. Dyonisius Lardner [the italics and
spelling are copied strictly], who so recently abused the
confidence and destroyed the happiness of a family in
Brunswick-square, Brighton, has met the punishment he
so richly deserved."
In the remainder of the article Dr. L. is twice stiled
" Reverend Doctor," and the writer's drift evidently is to
cast, by implication, the odium of this dreadful transaction
upon the clergy of the Church.
Now this cannot be done in ignorance or mistake. Dr.
Lardner is a well-known personage, an eminent man
among the Useful Knowledge and London University peo-
ple ; a man never suspected even of Christian, much less
of clerical habits or tendencies: All this is, and must be,
well known to the editor of The Sun, who is himself a bit
of a literati,—writes plays, reviews books, &c. All this,
I repeat, must be well known to him, and yet he delibe-
rately inserts an article imputing the offence of this " libe-
ral" Doctor to the Church I An act of baser falsehood, of
more perfect scoundrelism, I never saw perpetrated in the
columns of a newspaper.-
[Our Correspondent's language is much too strong, an&
in our opinion, unjust. We do not know whether Dr.
Lardner is in orders, but he certainly has been in the habit
of styling himself "the Reverend," which has naturally led
the Editor of The Sun to consider him a clergyman of
the Church of England; that the wretched man never
acted in this country as a clergyman of the Church is, how-
ever, certain ; and it is, therefore, impossible to acquit
The Sun of acting most uncandidly in ascribing his con-
duct to the Church. As well impute the misconduct of
the Rev. Robert Taylor to the sacred Establishment, to
which he has never been more malignantly disposed than
the Rev. Dionysius Lardner has been.—Editor of the
Standard.]
Now though the head of the Church, unfortu-
nately for Churchmen, fits,the cap which The Sun
manufactured, there was no intention of imputing
Drit Lardner's peccadilloes to the Church. The
devotees of that worm-eaten institution naturally
expect that others should mete to them the same
measure they mete to the Socialists, and impute to
the doctrines taught by the Church every crime
committed by Churchmen, as Dr. Philpotts imputed
to Mr. Owen's doctrines the suicide committed by
one of his followers. With the sad fate of Castlereagh
and Bishop Jocelyn still fresh in the publicmemory,
we were surprised at Dr. Philpotts imprudence,
and we can assure both the Editor of the Standard
and his learned Correspondent that we disdain to
imitate his bad habits. We meant no reflection on
the Church, but inserted the article as we received
it. In fact we demurred to giving Dr. Lardner the
title of Rev., he not being so well known to us as
he is to the Editor of the Standard, till we were
shown an official paper in which he is designated by
his clerical title. The Correspondent of the Standard
is evidently not a reader of that nor any other Tool
journal ; he must confine his reading to our pages,
or he never would have spoken of our paragraph as
an act of base falsehood, and, as he ungrammatical-
ly calls it, " more perfect scoundrelism'." Infinitely
worse paragraphs than ours, if that which was in no
sense bad can be susceptible of such a comparison,
appear every day in the Standard, Post, Herald,
Times, and Co. The virtuous Editor, too,
of the lying Standard, cannot acquit us
of being uncandid, though he is obliged to con-
fess that Dr. Lardner has been " in the habit of
styling himself the Reverend." We only assigned him
his usual title, rank, and dignity, and for doing
that, without hinting that his culpability was the
consequence of his station, the painfully sensitive
Editor, and his painfully sensitive Correspondent,
abuse The Sun, as if it had coined one falsehood,
and then coined half a dozen more to give it cur-
rency. The Standard alai its Correspond‘int are
t
not angry, we admit, without a cause ; but whether
cause be their own consciousness of the effect
of the doctrines and practices of the Church, or
our words, the impartial reader must determine.

precedents; they are likewise to prepare, and lay before
