THE SUN, LONDON, TUESDAY EVENT XG, MARCH 12. 1844.

I could understand it. We might admit it—with all our
conviction of the melancholy truth that it is an ultimo ratio,
to which, in too many instances of social fetvls the re-
sort is inevitable. We might say, in reference to the
immense advantages of putting down so hideous a rule,
" waive all exceptions." The legal axiom "de minimis
nos curat lex," might justify us in overlooking (we do
not say it would) the oruelty of individual cases of gross
and unmerited outrage being allowed to pass unpunished
by the law of honour, because of their not coming
within the pale of municipal law. But in the
House of Commons, exceptions were stoutly
and gravely insisted on by Sir HENRY HAR-
DINGE and Sir R. PEEL which recognised, under the
" circumstances reserved" by those authorities, the
practice of duelling. Thus,—a great fuss was made about
some future regulations to be introduced into the Arti-
cles of War, for its repression among officers ; but the
Secretary at War took great care to intimate " that they
were not to extend to half-pay officers." A lax sort of
morality this, to say the least, of which the elasticity is
so great, that it can be made to coop in officers on active
service, and let out officers on half pay ! Sir ROBERT
PEEL'S objection was eminently characteristic of the
man :—" Col. FAwcirrr had selected for his second a very
young man, inferior to him in rank, years, and experience."
Alas for the poor Colonel ! Had he cast about, and
prevailed on some superannuated Equerry of—" the old
days when GEORGE the TRIAD was King"— as BYRON
has it—could he have assumed ono of the most plausible
and most mysterious looks of the Premier himself, and
gone out, under the auspices of some Nestor " unat-
tached ;" then, indeed, Sir ROBERT would have
reasoned, from the " respectable sanction," in presence of
which he met his fate, the propriety of granting
his widow the pension. Lord PALMERSTON, as usual
with him in all practical questions, took the fair and
manly view of the case. "As the Colonel was the
challenged, and not the challenger," the pension should
have been granted. Lord Howxca took the higher and
inexpugnable ground of the moral consistency which
should have withheld Government from making an in-
vidious distinction in this case, whilst they countenanced
the practice in others.
With Lord llowiicit we would willingly exert every
energy to put down duelling altogether. Our wishes and
our fears on this subject we have explained in former ar
ticles, and shall not therefore here repeat. Still less are
we disposed to enter into conjectural reasonings on what
may have been the terrible " suspicions" operating, as
hinted by Mr. Muxao,-on Colonel FAWCETT'S mind,
on the nature of the domestic dfference that had a few days
previously arisen between them, but only broke out on
the Thursday ; or on the degree of palliation, or even the
justification, for aught we know, which might be sug-
gested for Colonel FAWCETT'S immovable resentment.
It is clear Mr. MUNRO was cruelly insulted. It is clear
that Colonel FAWCETT fell by his hand, in a duel which
he had tried to avert. It is clear that the Colonel bad
rendered most eminent and heroic services to his
country in the East. It is to us still in-
comprehensible why, or with what motive, of an official
or public character, the pension is withheld from his
widow. This, at least, is certain ; that the Duke of
WELLINGTON, Sir ROBERT PEEL, and Sir HENRY HAR-
DINGE were not qualified, from previous personal ad-
ventures, to sit in judgment on the guilt of duelling in
others.

A Bill has been brought into the House of Commons
for improving the Church Establishment in Scotland,
by disjoining and dividing extensive or populous parishes
and erecting new parishes suited to the religious wants
of the people. Anything like improvement in that
excellent Church we hail with unmixed delight. It is
the cheapest, and we may add, what is more to its credit,
the most useful ecclesiastical institution in any part of
the world ; and if its beneficial influence can be increased
by any new Legislative act, all good men will rejoice in
the result. In many parts of the country there are
parishes of such a vast extent that the clergyman can-
not by the utmost exertion give religious instruction,
or perhaps what is of more effect, show a good example,
to his parishioners. Some of the Highland parishes
extend from forty to sixty miles in length, the population
is so thin and scattered that Dissenting clergymen could
not find Subsistence among them, and the consequence is
they are left almost entirely without instruction,
and what they get is of the very worst kind. They
have no schools that are really useful ; they have no
church within their reach; they flock once or twice
a-year, travelling fifteen or twenty miles, to the nearest
church, to attend the Sacrament; but in this they per-
form neither a religious nor a moral duty, for one-half
they hear they do not understand, and the other half
only excites some wild fanatical ideas, which neither
improve their morals nor give them any correct no-
tions of religion. The Lord Advocate, therefore, de-
serves more credit for this Bill than for that which he
put into the hands of Lord ABERDEEN last year, to ob-
viate the objections of the Non-Intrusionists ; but has he
not begun at the wrong end? He seems to look upon
clergymen as the only real instructors, and to have lbr-
gotten the most useful class in Scotland—the teachers
of the rising generation. A minister, without a school-
master, is the most useless animal in existence ; yet in
the whole of this Bill not the slightest allusion
is made to parish schools. Of what use is it to send a
minister among a people who are ignorant of the
first rudiments of knowledge ? It is only casting seed
on waste land which springs up and is choked by rank
weeds. If Mr. M'NEILL had consulted any practical
man on the subject, the answer would have been—
" Begin with the beginning. Send schoolmasters among
the people, who would be passing rich with forty pounds
a year—lnstil into their minds some knowledge of
reading, and writing, and arithmetic, and the history of
their country, but on no other condition send a clergy-
man among them." Each clergyman is to receive 120/.
a year, no great sum; but the question is whether it
might not be better applied, and whether three school-
masters would not be a greater blessing than one
clergyman. But even admitting the use of the Church
Establishment, why not adhere to the old system, which
has done so much for Scotland. It is quite an anomaly
in that country to have a parish church without a pa-
rish school, and if the Bill is not materially altered in
this respect, it will give no satisfaction either to Church-
men or laymen. But this measure is only in keeping
with the Tory rage of the day. The cry is, not for more
knowledge, more sound principles of right and wrong,
snore sound, religious, and moral doctrines but for
more Church, as if a steeple and bells, and a sermon
once a week would chace away ignorance, an make
the community happy. In our opinion, all these para-
phernalia have the contrary effect. They are in-
tended to mislead the people for the interest of the
Church, or make them subservient to State purposes.
Church extension, by itself, is only a wild delusion or a
wicked scheme, for enslaving the working classes. The
political and religious principles of the men who shout
loudest for " Mother Church " can leave no doubt as to
their object.

COLONIAL.
Suo,tu.--Tho market for British Plantation is rather heavy,
only about 150 hhds having been sold at barely previous
rates. The public sales have consisted chiefly of 7,373 bags
Mauritius and 2,752 bags Bengal (chiefly white); the whole
of the former tbund buyers, but in most instances at rather
lower prices. The greater part of the latter was taken in
above the value, the remainder sold rather cheaper.
FOREIGN.—There is no change to notice in the value of anv
of these descriptions; the only business done privately con-
sists of a cargo of yellow Havannah (say 1,800 boxes of fair
quality, considering the late period at which it was shipped),
which has been sold afloat at 20s ; holders, however, still re-
main firm, and purchases cannot be made at lower prices.
The quantity of British Plantation landed last week at the
East and West India Docks was 753 hhds 3 tierces 276 bar-
rels, and there were taken for home consumption 930 hhds 98
tierces 86 barrels. The stock in the same places is 3,667 Wide
353 tierces 775 barrels.

COFFEE.-580 bags Ceylon at auction were disposed of at
70s 6d to 71s for good ord quality, being an advance of fully
2s to 3s. There is no material change to notice privately,
with the exception of Ceylon Coffee, which has been in active
demand (in consequence of the news by the Overland Mail of
very short shipments coming forward) and a large business
has been done, commencing at 68s6d and ending at 70s 6d to 71s
for good ord quality. Nearly all clear descriptions admissible
at the high duty, have also been more inquired for (owing to
some expected reduction in the duties), but from the high
prices asked, and the want of parcels offering, the transactions
have been confined to about 1,500 bags good to fine Singapore
Java, which have been sold at 40s to 455, being prices that
were not previously obtainable.
Rust.—The quantity landed last week at the East
and West India Docks was 176 puns 20 hhds. There were
taken for home consumption 136 puns 36 hhds; and ex-
ported 203 puns 56 Mids. The stock in the same places is
1 10,817 puns 1,756 hhds. A Government contract for 100,000 '
gallons is advertised to take place on Thursday next.
SALTPETRE.—I,O24 bags, at auction, were all taken in
above the value.
RICE.--312 bags were also taken in above the value.

supplied to her.
The jury, who coincided in the view of the case taken by
the Secondary, gave a verdict for the defendant.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE.
UNION HALL.-(THIS DAY.)
Eight young men, all in the workhouse garb, were charged
before Mr. Trail with destroying their clothes in St. George's
workhouse, and also with breaking open the bread-room.
The defendants, with 17 others, were admitted into the
workhouse as casual paupers on the preceding night. At an
early hour in the morning a great noise and disturbance was
heard in the ward they occupied, and on the porter going
there he found the defendants in a state of nudity, and their
garments in tatters scattered all over the place.
The defendants, one and all, said they came up to London
in quest of employment, but not getting any, they were re-
duced to destitution, and their clothes being in a dreadful
condition from vermin, they tore them up to get others in
their stead.

Mr. TRAILL pointed out to the defendants the absurdity of
thus leaving their homes and roving to a strange place, where
there wore so many persons already out of work. He then
committed the defendants for ten days each, a sentence with
which they all seemed well pleased.
Four men were charged with assaulting the landlady of
the Guildford Barge, and also with attacking the police, when
they went to the rescue of the female. The landlady,
had a severe black eye from a blow by one of the
defendants, for refusing to serve. him. When the
police were called, the defendants made a determined attack
upon them, tore their clothes, and committed other damage.
The defendants were fined 3/. each, or in default of payment,
committed for a month.

CLERKENWELL-(THIS DAY.)
A man named Fromey was charged with an ameault, of a
very violent and unprovoked character, on a poor woman,
named Smith.

The 'complainant was standing in Fox-court, Gray's Inn-
lane, when the prisoner struck her a violent blow on the
jaw, from which she still felt great pain. He then at-
tempted to run away, but was taken into custody by Tate,
an officer of the G division.

Mr. CO MBE fined the prisoner 10s., or ten days' imprison-
ment. Not having the money, he was locked up.
The case had hardly been disposed of when the com-
plainant again came before the Magistrate, and said that the
prisoner's mother had just threatened to " serve her out" in
the passage of the Court. She declared she was in fear of
her life.

This testimony having been confirmed, Waddington, the
gaoler, said that mother and son were two of the most disor-
derly characters in their neighbourhood, and that they had
been frequently before the Court for misconduct.
Mr. COMBS ordered her to find bail, which not being able
to procure, she was sent to keep her hokeful son company.

MAR YLEBONE.-(THIS DAY.)
Robert Sivers, a lighterman, was charged by 211 r. Collins,
of 15 Wharf, Paddington, with embezzlement.
Mr. Collins stated that he had hired the prisoner on Thurs-
day last to convey a boat full of ashes to a farmer at West
Drayton, and paid him 21., out of which he paid 19s. for ton-
nage, the balance was to have paid the freight and other
charges. The prisoner, however, did not convey the ashes as
directed, but left them on the wharf, and went to a public-
house, where he got drunk, and commenced spending the
money. He (the complainant) gave information to the po-
lice, and went to the Red Lion, accompanied by Callinghan,
134:D, when the prisoner said he would be d—d ere
he would go to the station-house, and tried to
throw the policeman on the ground, but found that
he was overmatched .(Callinghan is a powerful Irishman,
all bone and sinew) and received a heavy fall. He would
not have been so roughly handled, had not a mob of idle
fellows and soldiers endeavoured to effect a rescue. While
the prisoner was being taken to the station-house, he com-
menced a savage assault upon Callaghan and another con-
stable, Bishop, who came up to assist. He was eventually
lodged in the station-house.
Inspector Black said that there was a warrant out against
the prisoner for an assault upon a policeman, in June last,
but in consequence of his absence from town, he could not
be taken into custody.
Mr. Ramuxsoir said he should decide the present case,
and the warrant could stand over. The prisoner was fined
21. 10s. for the assault on either constable, or in default of
payment to be committed to prison.

and take the chair, was, from an attack of the gout, pre-
vented from being present, and in consequence his place was
supplied by Lord W. Russell, who was supported by General
Cortield, Sir J. Flower, Mr. Adolphus, Mr. Terry, Mr. Lewis,
and other gentlemen more immediately known as patrons
and supporters of the theatre. Nearly 200 gentlemen sat
down to an excellent dinner provided by Mr. Bacon, the pro-
prietor of the tavern, to whom it is but justice to say, that, ,
as far as the appliances of " creature comforts" could aid the
