TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN.

SlR—Chance has thrown in my way a number al:
obscure Journal 'yclept the Standard, in which I perc:4o:,
some` Sharacteristically false and calumnious remarks urj,
the principles and conduct of that most respected Nohler:o
Earl Darnley. It is impossible that the character of Lori!ehs,
should suffer from attacks conceived in falsehood, and brow-it;
forth in obscurity. To this feeling I attribute the alos,
of all reply on the part of his Lordship to the aspersko
question. I can but consider that this magnanimil
somewhat misplaced ; for, however we may despise $4
tile, it is still always worth while to wipe away its
slime. The man of the Standard sets out in his esreitiot
abuse by bestowing on Lord D. what he no doubt it1,014,;=
to be a derogatory title, but which, in the eyes of Oil:,
mane and honourable men, will be rather considered o
sirahle distinction. He calls his Lordship " Queen
line's Lord Darnley." And is this really the gravest nri
that this induattiOus detractor can discover, even aft
long a retrospect? and could he flatter himself that ie
persons, beyond the miserable minority to which be
,d.
longs, would see any discredit in the disinterested advSj,
of an injured English Queen? With that junta, is
want of wealth or power is want of virtue. The' 7,
and the mercenary have no sympathy with misfortune) ji
to worship any other than the rising sun is, in their er:is
" flat blasphemy." Another paragraph makes a chi"W
against his Lordship, which, even were it true, eviacety
most contemptible littleness of mind, it is asserted tbst_
Lordship, among an assemblage of 60,000 persons, apeiy
as the only contemner of his Majesty's recommendatin
a general mourning. This is, however, a " weak bra
tion of the enemy"—a base, deliberate lie. I most
tively assert, from my own knowledge, that Lord DO:
was dressed in black at the Penenden Heath Meeting.
The writer then makes an attempt to impugn the ON
ment of his Lordship, that Catholic Emancipation .os
political and not a religious question. I think that
man, who 'dispassionately considers all the talking auutt
writing on both sides, can for a moment doubt the tad
of this position. Religion is the mere stalking-ho ti
the question, and corporal privileges and power are j
real points at issue ; the party excluded call loudlf
justly for admission to those distinctions and betlicy
which should be open to all, while those in possession
moor as loudly for the perpetuation of their political 7,
nopoly. What is the constant burden of the prayer of f
latter party, but " against the -admission of Catholicity
power," that is to place and its concomitants ? If is
clergy of the diocese of Rochester and of the kingdoma
general possessed none of the attributes of Mammonftio,
were distinguished by the simplicity of the primitive .Ar.tij
I am inclined to think that we should have been sP
great many of these orthodox fulminations. The iod
sistency of the Brunswickers is most remarkable, 01,4
the best evidence of the inherent error and weaknewooi
their cause. One day they are crying out, ‘; What folic
can can Catholic Emancipation do? What does Cato fi
Emancipation mean ? It means only the admission
_Z
Parliament of a handful of Irish Peers and Como:noon
and yet the very next we are gravely told that this,
minority, if admitted, would, by a superhuman ho,
pocks influence, be able to overset all the institntion
the State and the relations of society. Such a potil),,
is idle to speak of ; at the first indication of such s
tions, an immense majority would be ready to repress u:y
As he of the Standard may possibly entertain douirsoi
to the attachment of Lerd Darnley to the Esta.bli
Church, I take the liberty to inform hifn of a cure)
stance, which (from the unostentatious habitS of the do,
he may perhaps never have heard of, viz. that Lord I),
ley built and presented to the inhabitants of Sandgiti4
Kent, a handsome church. In conclusion, I would ad
the scribe to give up the trade of lie-coining, and enini
your to make his paper the " Standard" of truth;

the cause of intolerance can only be supported by 0p

P.S. I think you cannot do a more acceptable 1,0
to the cause of truth and liberality, than to rerintagto

HIS MAJESTY'S HEALTH.

11 is Whispered, that the KING is suffering under a
,
attack of gout, and the suspicion is strengthened
Abe fact of his MAJESTY not having taken his cus
mart exercise, or paid a visit to the Castle, for the last
44Y; although the weather has been mild and favour-
„) and further, that no company has arrived at the
el Lodge 'luring the same period. Were the Kr.sw's
'tal health any thing but what it is, and were the re-
t4 of the gout less frequent and less formidable in its at-
* 'these reports would be scarcely worth recording ;
coupled as they are with his NIAJEsTv's declining
even rumours become important.— Times.
' •
earl confidently state, on the information of a gen-
',l,l who saw The KING several days in succession, that
„qAJESTY is in the enjoyment of quite as good health as
experienced for some years past ; that his spirits
l,°°4 that his conversation is as agreeable and as
as ever ; that he talks freely and with great delight
itt°4tters of taste, especially about the finishings and fur-
'l4l,4g of Windsor Castle ; iand that he walks well, with
itr,s, and without any apparent lameness. His MA-
e' every
sense, in most excellent health.—Morn-
