Dispatches for the Governor-General of India were
sent off from the Board of Control last evening.

TO THE— EDITOR. OF THE SUN.
Six,—Seeing in your paper of this day, an extract
from the Journal des Debats, stating that England.
is sinking in the scale of nations into wretchedness
and poverty, I beg to contradict that statement. A
respectable farmer told me yesterday, that the rents
of farms in Somerset had more than doubled within these
forty years; and I know myself, and can prove, that,
since 1750, land in most cases has quadrupled its
value, without the owners of it laying out one six-
pence to 'produce this result. So that, although we
know millions are starving, yet thousands are better
off, without any exertions of their own.
Sept. 3, 1842.

The Duke of Buckingham is staying at Stowe,
from whence he proceeds to Wootton, for the shoot-

FROM THE EVENING PAPERS OF THIS DAT.
GLOBE.—We have received a second letter
from a correspondent, who signs himself " A
Scotchman," complaining of the non-insertion
of a former communication, which he had written
to exculpate the Commission of the General As-
aemby from the charge of intruding a vexed
Church question on the attention of her Majesty
whileja, Scotland. We never. intended to convey,
the,iflipression that the Commission had intro-
dhco
,this.question in their address to her Ma-
jesty ; and if there were any expressions in our
leading article on the subject (which was
necessarily written in haste, the report of
the proceedings. only just having come before
.us). which appeared to convey • that im-
pression, theyi must have been made
use of inadvertently. We are anything rather
than enemies of the Scottish Establishment,or of
any measure which may be necessary to secure
its purity in the eyes of its members, provided
always that those measures are confined within
legal limits. We insert, as follows, all that is ma-
terial in our correspondent's second letter;
though the subject has rather gone by. But we
may possibly make it a peg, at more leisure, for
some general observations on the presentatti-;
tude of the Scotch Church. Our, correspondent
affirms there was no debate as to the manner of
addressing her Majesty.
" One speech was made by one gentleman of ex-
treme anti-patronage opinions for introducing the
Kirk question. Against him both Intrusionists and
Non-Intrusionists spoke, and it was the Non7lntru-
sionists especially who proposed, supported, "and ear-
ried against him the resolution for the exclusion of
party topics.
" 2. After the debate your contributor states, a
middle course was adopted.
"There was no compromise either during or after
the debate. The original resolution of Dr. Makellar
was carried by a great majority.
"3. His strictures,' he says, applied to the un-
gracious attempt to introduce such a topic.'
"But he expressed not one word of special czin-
demnation either of the impromptu maker of the
attempt, or of the twenty-four dumb vrjtes which
backed him. His strictures were agai
_list the whole
Commission, and the Non-IntrusirJnists who opposed
and defeated the attempt."
Though the above le true to the letter, it is
also true that an " acrimonious debate " did take
place on the et
:.estion of the address to her Ma-
jesty ; ard that the same impression was made
by tkat- debate on most of our contemporaries
who noticed it as on ourselves. If it is said, the
Commission forbore to bring the Church question
before her Majesty in the address, that is true.
. But the debate teemed. with the most emphatic
denunciations of the late decision of the House
of Lords, and the whole legal proceedings on the
Church question, as fatal to the title by which
her Majesty holds the Crown,. And Dr. Can-
dlish, toe great Non-Intrusion leader, declared
.he would support Mr. Crichton's motion for
bringing 11 the perilous condition of the Church"
directly before her Majesty, rather than submit
to the withdrawal of Dr. Makellar's resolution
(which was carried), and which pointedly re-
ferred to that condition, while proposing to
omit its mention in the address to her Majesty.
We submit that the whole character of the
debate very well warranted the epithet "acri-
monious ; ' and that the repeated assertion in a
Church assembly that her Majesty's title to the
throne was in jeopardy ; that " even the security
of the Crown," as Dr. Candlish stated, " was at
stake "—amounted to what pretty closely re-
sembled what we (with others) considered a de.-
Niation from "the obvious propriety of excluding
party topics from the meetings and addresses on
the occasion of the Queen's visit to Scotland."
We said the Commission of the General As-
sembly was the one exception to the observance
of this rule. Our correspondent says bluntly,
" This is not true." We affirm it is true, though
we would draw no inference beyond what the
fact warrants.

Mr. TWYFORD said he could not believe the pri-
soner's witness when opposed to that of the policeman
and three others. He should fine the prisoner 40s.

SENTENCING of the YORKSHIRE
RIOTERS.

YORK, SEPT. s.—This morning the Learned
Judges at ten o'clock proceeded to sentence the pri-
soners, who, to the number of more than 150, were
assembled in the two Courts.

The LORD CHIEF JUSTICE, when the names of
those who were before him (each Judge having those
whom he had tried) had been called over, addressing
himself first to the case of one Mitchell, who had
been convicted of plundering a soldier, senseless and
bleeding, in one of the affrays between the military
and the mob, said, the prisoner formed one of those
who had been found guilty of offences connected with
the recent lamentable riots. His offence, indeed, had
a degree of criminality about it which did not charac-
terise those of the other prisoners, who, however, had
participated in illegal proceedings, out of which acts
the most criminal naturally arose. First, men allowed
themselves ignorantly to be banded together, for the
purpose of absurdly and tyrannically attempting to
control the freedom of labour, and to prevent those from
following their usual avocations who were disposed so to
do. Of course these outrages were not to be permitted ;
and force being assembled to resist the riot, there arose
the second stage in these criminal proceedings. The
police, and ultimately the:military, were called in to
suppress the sedition ; for it must now be clearly seen
that the law would ever, in the end, prevail ; that the
authorities would not submit to be controlled by a
lawless mob ; but that the law would justify the adop-
tion of any force to maintain its supremacy. When
the civil force, then, was appealed to with this view,
bad men, who had private reasons for detesting the
constabulary, would of course take the opportunity of
assaulting them. Forgetful of the plain and undeni-
able truth that the civil powers are even more for the
protection of the lower and poorer orders than of other
classes, ignorant people assembled against them, and
the opportunity was selected by wicked men of wreak-
ing their mean malignancy upon those whose vigilance
they had reason to dislike. Depraved men, too, availed
themselves of the confusion created by foolish men for
the purpose of robbing; and they certainly had as
much right to plunder as the others had to riot, the law
condemning both as decidedly, though, of course, distin-
guishing as more guilty these who added robbery to
noting. This was the case with the prisoner at the
bar, whose character was very bad. And what was
to prevent the vilest and most desperate men (though
this was too often forgotten) from pursuing their vi-
cious courses during the period of general confusion,
when law and order were temporarily overcome ? It
was lamentable that so many of intelligence sufficient
to see this should have been found linked together in
proceedings of which others far more depraved would
inevitably take advantage. The most foolish must
have known they were doing wrong in aiding or abet.
ting proceedings so palpably unlawful, though they
might not have committed acts of such criminality as
that of the prisoner, the sentence on whom was trans-
portation for ten years.
The other prisoners were then called upon to say
anything they thought proper in mitigation of punish-
ment. Many of them availed themselves of this per-
mission, and proceeded generally to assert their inno-
cence pertinaciously; such of them as stated what was
utterly inconsistent with the facts deposed to were
reminded of this by the Lord Chief Justice, who at last
severely reprimanded one man who was violently attack-
ing the witnesses against him, his Lordship observing
that no good could possibly arise from persisting in
denying guilt which had been clearly established in
evidence, and affirmed by the verdict of a Jury.
Some of them, however, who had pleaded guilty,
spoke respectfully in extenuation of their offence ; and
some who had been convicted stated facts not incon-
sistent with the evidence, tending to show that the
extent of their participation in the riots was but tri-
fling; most of them received good characters, and the
greater part earnestly declared this to have been the
first occasion of their conviction for any offence.
Lord DENMAN proceeded to address the prisoners
generally, who, he said, had been guilty of violating
the rights of persons and of property most seriously,
all of them having been guilty of noting, many of
them of conspiracy as well. They had lent themselves
meanly and abjectly as the instruments of men much
worse than themselves, who had, after duping them,
-
left them to bear the brunt of the inevitable
consequences.
they would have manfully resisted such disgraceful

influence, and refused to become the tools of base
incendiaries. The law had not yet laid hold of
the main movers in these disgraceful proceedings ;
and it seemed that some persons at a distance
even had power enough to induce many to prefer
sacrificing their resources for seditious purposes to
profiting by a course of steady and honest industry.
Example must be made of all who in whatever manner
set the law at defiance. Men must be taught that the

grossest outrages might be delayed ; and that it was
only the salutary terror of such proceedings as the
present that could restrain the lawlessly disposed. It ,

The proceedings were over by about noon.

THE MANCHESTER POLICE.

We advert to a scene which is said to have occur-
red in the Borough Court at Manchester, before the
stipendiary Magistrate, Mr. Maude. We fear that it
carries too much verisimilitude upon the face of it,
not to be substantially correct; and, presuming the
case to be as it is represented, we will give Mr.
Maude the benefit of our opinion upon it.
A man named Turner is charged with having
printed a seditious placard ; and if he is found
guilty of having done so by the proper tribunal,
we trust that he will have to smart for it : for we
are not inclined to the liberal opinion that a printer
has a right, in the mere way of trade, to print all
the pernicious stuff by the circulation of which the
evilly-disposed seek to disturb the peace, malign
the characters, and endanger the property of their
neighbours. in/ we should have been content to
leave to the due course of law ; but this man, it ap-
pears, had two apprentices, who were also seized by
the police, not as particeps criminis with their mas-
ter, but as witnesses against him. They are seized,
and secluded under lock and key, without any
charge whatever against them, and for the avowed
purpose of torturing them by imprisonment into
a proper frame of mind for disclosing the sup-
posed secrets of their master's business. Let it be
observed that there was no Magistrate's warrant for
this, and that Sir Charles Shaw, the chief Police Com-
missioner of the district, denies all knowledge of it ;
and yet by one of the subaltern officers under the
control of himself and Mr. Maude, has this gross out-
rage been committed.
Now one would have thought that Mr. Maude would
have stepped a little out of the line of his strict duty,
if it was necessary, to have brought that kid-napping
policeman to his senses; for the fool in his over-anx-
iety to secure, has taken the surest means to thwart the
ends of public justice. He is poisoning the very evidenee
he is so anxious to preserve immaculate ; for no jury-
man, with a grain of sense, would convict a master
upon revelations extorted rom his apprentices by ar-
bitrary imprisonment. No juryman, who under-
stands his duty to well and truly try, would hang a
dog upon evidence so procured. The excuse is, that
if the apprentices were allowed to be at large, they
might be " tampered with ;" but is there any tamper-
ing like that of the lock and key ? We care not whe-
ther these youths are being dieted into the truth upon
prison fare, or whether they are being fattened into
confession upon roast beef and strong beer. Any way
and every way in which the case may be turned, it
has a bad aspect; and Mr. Maude must he judicially
blind not to have seen what an ugly look it must have
in the eyes of every Englishman.
No doubt this precious specimen of stipendiary ma-
gistracy thinks that he is acting for the best, when
he winks at a " little wrong" in order that food may
come of it. But a " little wrong" of this kind is the
grain of mustard which, if not at once checked,
would in due season overshadow the earth. All tyran-
nies have had their seed in some small violation of law
and liberty at first, and., a " little wrong" permitted
upon the weakest to-day, would quickly becnme a cord
to bind the strongest, until the giantpeople by a convul-
sive effort would burst it asunder—and then comes a
generation of anarchy and misery! The Star Chamber
had no larger beginning than this—the arbitrary im-
prisonment of a few poor people without the warrant
of the civil Magistrate. And yet there sits Mr.
Maude in the Borough Court of Manchester, and
coolly-says, "I don't know of any statute which can
prevent a policeman from incarcerating people if he
has a fancy to do so. He does it, as Fouche used to
do it, a son discretion et a son tort; and if these widows
want an account of their sons, they must wait till they
can indict at the seesions, or hunt up the Lord Chief
Justice at York for a habeas corpus r We earnestly
hope that the Judges of the land will be called upon
for their opinion in this case ; for we are confident
that it will be so expressed as to teach, not only the
Magistrate to act up to his duty, but the police also
not to exceed theirs.—Herald.

After hearing evidence,
The defendant, in answer to the charge, did not
deny the assault, but justified it under the follow-
ing circumstances :—He stated that when he left
home on the night in question, to go on duty, his
wife was (going to bed with her child. While
on his beat, of which Pembroke-square formed a
part, he heard a loud noise, which he considered was
in Earl-street, but on reaching No. 1, he found that
it was in that house. He immediately knocked at the
door, and while doing so he heard his wife's voice in

see-
ing him (defendant) immediately ran off. In the
passage he met his wife, who said " here's a nasty fel-
low, who has been trying to take liberties with me,
and who won't go out. He then went into the par-
lour, v.ich was in darkness, except from the street
lamp through the windows, by which he distinguished
a man sitting in s chair. He immediately said,
" What do you do here ?" Complainant said, " That's
my business ; my name is Rhoades." He told him
whatever e
he must go out. Mr. Rhoades,

away from intol and during the scuffle
that ensuA r the passage, -.
Rhoades tried to throw him (defen-
dant) down the four stone steps outside, but both fell
into the square together.
Inspector Smith said, the defendant had unfortu-
nately a bad woman for his wife. He (the inspector)
had reason to believe that men had been taken into
the house before during the constable's absence on
duty. The defendant's wife had the next morning
absconded, and they were, therefore, prevented bring-
ing her forward.
Mr. PAYNTER having inquired of the complainant
what he was (who replied, a " master builder,") said
he was only
surprised the policeman had not taken
hi
for being on the premises for an un-
lawfulin purpose, custody,
and if he had been taken to the sta-.
tion-house and brought before the Magistrate, he
could tell the complainant he would have been com-
mitted to prison, had he not given a good account of
himself. The-
tocoso
fact was, the complainant had wanted
to make an improper house of a respectable one, and
the defendant had acted as most men would have done
under similar circumstances. He should, therefore,
dismiss the charge.
GREENWICH.
Michael McKeon, a tall and powerfully-
built Yesterdaym ao man,
was charged with violently assaulting two
women, named Mary Ann Cooper and Jane Haines.
The complainant Cooper stated that she went into
the Beehive public-house, Rotherhitbe, accompanied
onMonday
night. Soon afterwards
ab by
disputeh e r h u
arose
ed
between some
person present and the
prisoner. Upon witness's husband taking part in it
she interfered, when the prisoner seized a quart pot,
and struck her a violent' blow on the eye ; he also
struck her on the head, and various parts of the body.
Several other women were also assailed by the pri-
soner with the same dangerous weapon. The com-
plainant's
eyes were very black, and her face cut ;
she also complained of great pain about the arms and
breast.
The other complainant, Haines,
also bore testimony
to the savage conduct of the prisoner.
Several witnesses, amongst whom was an old
woman, who exhibited her arms to the Court, and
which were much bruised, spoke of the attack made
by the prisoner as most unmanly and cruel.
Police constable 169 M deposed to finding a crowd
of 200 persons outside of the Beehive, and upon being
informed of the prisoner's conduct he took him into
custody.
The prisoner, in his defence, denied striking the
women. _ _

STANDARD.—We have, as we ought to have
anticipated, involved ourselves with two of our
Contempormies, by the few remarks that we
offered yesterday upon the policy of the Indian
Government. No pretensions, however, could
be more humble than ours--we did not under-
take to defend the policy in question, nor did we
impeach it : we merely said
,that we knew no-
thing about the matter, and modestly intimated
that others, unavoidably in the same condition of
ignorance, might do well to abstain from accusa-
tion or defence. The Morning Chronicle, how-
ever, will have it that we are the defenders of
Lord Elleuborough's, policy, and that we liken
the retrograde movement ordered by the Noble
Lord to the retreat to Torres Vedras. Now, we
are not the apologists of Lord Ellenborough's
policy, for this among other reasons, that
that we do not yet know what that policy
is in its whole extent, and our purpose in
referring to Torres Vedras was merely, first,
to show that every retrograde movement
does not necessarily imply a final retreat;
secondly, to remind our respected contemporary
that it may be mistaken now, as it was, by its
own confession this morning, mistaken 22 years
ago. " If," says our Contemporary, very sen-
sibly, Lord-Wellington's designs in retreating
within Torres Vedras were not understood by
many, and conclusions at variance with subse-
quent results were drawn from the -retreat by
men of great abilities in this.country, groat al-
lowance must be made; for Lord Wellington,
though then high in reputation, had not estab-
lished that claim to a secure reliance on all his
combinations which his matchless deeds after-
wards obtained for him." This is all quite true ;
but-AO'sa
Wellington's subsequently acquired
„rePstitation, unequalled as it is in glory, could
change none of the facts, could not render that
good policy, which was not good policy
namely, the policy of retreat, or disprove the
danger of judging
l 31. •
Piecemeal and in the dark.
On the other side the Morning Post condemns
the opinion which we
offered, that prisoners
taken by treachery ought
not to be ransomed by
a great nation, least 01'111 ransomed in the most
degrading manner, namely, by purchasing them
in the condition of slaves.
We Mr
are surprised
that our proposition should be disputed at this
time of day. At present we do not recollect an
instance of a nation, strong or weak, extending
such a sanction to treachery. We can imegine
no confession of inferiority so abject and base.
The case of individuals is different, because it is
no dishonour to an individual to confess himself
weaker than an oppressor, and because his con-
duct gives no public sanction the treachery of
which his friend may be a victim. Our Contem-
porary:asks, would it have been wrong to give a
number of Frenclimedin exchange for the Duke
dr.Englicin ? We do not hesitate to say yes;
but this is b.; no means so strong a case against a
ransom, as the case of the British prisoners
in Affghanistan. The Duke d'Enghein was
treacherously seized, because he was seized in
a neutral territory—but this, after all, but a
constructive perfidy (though very odious), and
it was an act of which we have had no special
reason to take cognizance. The Duke was not
an Ehglishman,. and he was not seized on the
English territory, or in violation of any engage-
ment with England. Nevertheless, we repeat
it, England would have dishonoured herself and
set a fatal example to the world, by ransoming
a prisoner thus treacherously captured. The
prisoners in Affghanistan are British subjects,
and they are held in captivity in contempt
of an express treaty, the terms of which have
been in other respects violated by a foul and
cruel massacre. To talk of ransoming in such a:
Ctlse is to propose the foulest dishonour to Which

KOHL'S RUSSIA AND THE RUSSIANS.—Of all the
works we have had on Russia, this volume of Mr. Kohl's
must be considered at once the most amusing and the
most trustworthy. The Quarterly Review, in an ela-
characterised this attractive pro-
borate notice, has truly
duction in the following terms :—" If some writers
(says the Reviewer), from the minute accuracy of
details,their have been likened to such painters as Mieris,
Jan Steen, &c., Mr. Rhol's work is nothing less than the
Daguerreotype itself. He has given us St. Petersburgh,
b. y winter and by sunimer, by day and by night, with
its Neva, canals, quays, markets, shops, and houses,
each swarming with its respective population, not stilly
drawn as if sitting for their picture, but caught in full
life and movement, soil, laugh and talk—hit off in
every shade and grade of mind, habit, speech, and cos-
tume—under every aspect of feasting and fasting, buying
and selling, driving and walking, idling and working,
teaching and learning, baptising, marrying, and burying,
and all with a truth and vivacity which it would be im-
possible to surpass.'
MELANCHOLY ACCIDENT AT SEACOMBE, CHE-
SHIRE.--SEACOMBE, Sum:ay.—This village, situate on
the banks of the Mersey, opposite Liverpool, was last
evening the scene of a heart-rending occurrence. Be-
tween eight and nine o'clock last evening, when the tide
was coming in strongly, a youngfemale, named Evans.
staying at the house of Mr. Bevington, tea-broker, of
Liverpool, and sister to Mrs. Bevington, accompanied
by Mr. Bevington's servant, proceeded down the garden
steps on the river side to bathe, but they had no sooner
leaped into the water, than the strength of the tide car-
ried them out into the river, and before assistance could
be procured they had sunk to rise no more. Several
persons witnessed the distressing calamity, but the
action of the tide was so rapid, that it was impossible to
rescue them, and the bodies were washed away. Miss
Evans was about being united to a gentleman, now in
America, to whom she had despatched a letter a few
days ago by the Great Western steam-ship. This
morning the bodies were discovered at low rater, some
distance from the spot where the accident happened.
COAL PIT ExpLosioN.—On Monday an explosion
of fire-damp took place at the Ox Farm Colliery, Crad-
lay,Semen, seventeen, with the " butty," James Fellows,
Gage, aged fifteen years, met his death, and
. whereby
were much burnt. The former is not expected to re-
to get coal, carrying a
lighted candle with them,
re-
cover. It appears they went into the pit (which had not
been worked for some time)
when the foul air exploded,
n. "
and the dreadful effects above narrated ensued. An
hffiain-
quest was held on the body, on Wednesday lest, and a
verdict Of "Accidental death" was recorded.... Weig
