w ho were all, arwell as those who were of necessity cnnTelied to assist is the melancholy performance, overalielmed in grief. Not a word was spoken— evri y thing was cooducted- with the greatest solem it, and regularity. Tins morning Prince LKOPOLD attended Divine S rvice, which was performed by dry Rev. Dr. SHORT. dub Serene Highness was attended by his principal atett&t , is and domestics. The Prime has taken yell - little refreshment since his irreparable loss; he, i s fact. scarcely took any thing till yesterday. " T':.! Duke of YORK arrived today in a single liorse-cl , a:se , to pay his visit of condole - tee. The Duke of GLOUCCRTiIt arrived soon after, in a carriage tnJ toilr, and remained a considerable time." The std but requisite operation of investigating the state of the Royal corpse was executed with the for nialitie- v.:stow:try in such cases, by the Sesjealit- Surgeon:: of the Royal Household, to whose office that function of right belongs. A regular report was of course drawn up by those Gentlemen : and though delicacy must necess.trily forbid the making such a Jocumvot public ; yet we are enabled more confi dently again to state what must afford our Readers the only satisfaction possible under such an all , cticns namely, that all had been done to preserve the valua ble lives both of Mother and Child, which human science could suggest, or human skill effect ; and that the visitation proceeded alone from that ALMIGHTY WILL, to which we must bow in humble and ador iiig submission. It appears that in the interior conformation of her Royal Highness, there was a want of muscular energy, which unhappily subjected her to pangs be yond what nature could endure ; and from the same cause the animation of the infant was terminated very shortly before it should have seen the light. It would be worse than superfluous to pass any eulogy on the professional skill of Doctor ISAILLIE and Sir 'Louis]) CHOIT in their respective departments: and the lat er had previously arranged with the humus her self, that he should be at liberty to call Dr. Situ into consultation, if be should think fit. Accordingly ,hat very celebrated accoucheur arrived, and coinci ded in the propriety of abstaining from any of those violent measures which must have destroyed one life and put in peg it the other. The result was the birth of a still-born child, which was immediately removed into another chamber, where all possible means were used to restore its animation—means which frequently prove successful, but which in the present case, were w:iolly fruitless. It was only during the short time necessarily em- I ployed in these endeavours that Sir RICHARD CROFT was absent from his Royal charge: between the corn mencemeat of her labour and the 111011111114 of. her decease.. On the accuracy of this fact, our Readers may rely with the most perfect confidence. Whilst Sir RICHARD was in the adjoining room, there was every appearance of her Rovet, kirositaxss's recover that strength which had -been so painfully ex hausted. It is not uncommon in the physical.his , tory of the human frame to find instances where ex cessive agony is succeeded by a deceptive calm, and such seems to have been the case with the PRINCESS. Her organs were all perfect, except in one or two particulars not immediately connected with her par. titular situation ; and it was perfectly clear That she died absolutely of an exhaustion of vital energy, oc• casioned by excessive and insupportable pain.-' " BATH, SUNDAY, NOVEMBER B. " At six o'clock yesterday morning, Major-Gene ral 'Nylon set off for Windsor, after which hour the bustle of preparation continued until the departure of her MAJUTTb Before eight, Ladies MBLVILLK and Itznasmit, Madame and Miss BECHINDORTY, Miss Rica, Colonel STarneasou, Colonel Disnaowx, and Lieutenant General Sir H. CAMPBELL, respec tively entered their carriages ; some of them preceded,' and others followed the royal carriage. Precisely at eight, her Mxszery, accompanied by the Princess ELIZABETH, escorted by a party of the 15th Royal Hussars, left their residence for Windsor Castle. Considering the depression of their feelings, the Royal Parsy were in health, and they pursued their journey to Devizes, where they arrived at ten minutes past ten, without meeting with any interruption. " At this latter town her MAJESTY pursued her jour• ne► without any military escort; the dispensing *with this customary honour gave the Royal cavalcade a more impressive consideration of the melancholy ca• tastrophe which hurried on the departure of the Royal party. The Quays alighted for ten minutes at the Castle Inn, Marlborough, and would not receive any refreshments. A great concourse of spectators were assembled, not as on Monday last, to welcome her arrival with rejoicings, but with silence they paid their respectful obedience to the illustrious person ages, and their expressions fully confirmed the deep felt reign of sorrow which pervaded the hearts of the highest to the lowest of her MAJESTY'S loyal subjects. The same observation may be truly applied to the inhabitants of Speenhinsland, where her MAJZITY again alighted from her carriage at the Pelican Inn, and the Royal Party partook of a morning's donna During'the half hour the Quzass remained at this spacious hotel, scarcely a word was uttered by the populace; and on the return of her Miami , and the Princess ELLIAIUITti to their travelling carriage, they were so much affected, that the Royal atten• dams were somewhat concerned for the security of the bolls of. their illustrioes Qum/. • " It was halt-put four o'clock on Saturday after ninon when the lt-TAI civalcade•chmr:d hones It Cue Crown Lou, Reading, at which town a detach ment of the liorse Guards t Bine orte her tvltt- JESTY'S carriage. They Afterwards ch.o.gr.i Knowle-hill, on the road through the Forest, avoid ing passing the town of Maidenhead. Owing to the sudden return of her NI there WAS no time t • arrange relays of horses, cnnsegoe.ntly several of the stages were performed by post horses to her M APIS Tv's carriage, rode by her own established postillions. The mournful countenances of the people in this part of the route rather increased the dejection of het MAJ ES TY. " The Duke of CLARENCE soon (Mowed his Royal Mother. and took the route of Chippenham, for Lord HARCOURT'S Maya Islimeham, near Oxford, where the daughters of his Royal Highness had been on a •isit. Tiie sudden derangement of her Maserre's in tentions to honour this city with a n►onth's residence has likewise postponed the prclin►inary arrangements of the Mayor and Corporation of Blist.il coming in civic procession to the . QUEEN'S house, on Tuesday next, with an address of congratulation. The meeting of the Naval Commanders, Cap tains, Sec. to-tn , rrow, for the purpose of inviting the Duke of CcattexcE to a grand and naval banquet at the York House, is now postponed. The Th , atre is closed, and all amusements are suspended: to fine, universal sorrow pervades the whole city. " From the numerous and respectable assemblage of spectators waiting opposite to Sydney-place to view the procession of the Mayor and Corporation on Thursday last, her MAJESTY was so much affected by grateful sentiments for the respect shewn by all classes of the inhabitants, in their welcome and loyal affection since her residence here, that she was most graciously pleased to communicate to Colonel Drs. astowz, her -Vice-Chamberlain, a wish to appear before the Public, at the balcony of her house, and return her condescension. But, alas ! this honour was dispensed with, arising from the aelicting intel ligence brought by the Messenger. " Friday morning opened with a mournful aspect, the shops of some tradesmen were entirely closed, whilst every individual house bore the mark of some departed relative. All the shops were half closed ; the bells of the churches tolled the knell of departed worth—and even the very atmosphere, clouded with heavy rains, appeared to sympathise with the human frame. Her MAJICSTY, the Duke of CJARENCE, and Princess ELIZABETH, continued in close retirement throughout the day, and the neighbourhood of Syd ney-place, which was twenty-tour hours before the scene of life and gaiety, was one of universal sorrow." This day at DODO the new LORD MAYOR was sworn into office at Westminster-hall, with the customary Formalities; but) in consequence of recent events, his Lordship went and returned with as little parade as possible. We have great satisfaction in stating that the In. fecuous Fever, which has for some time past com mitted such ravages in the Sister Island, has, by the advices received to-day, abated in a surprising degree. A succession of heavy gales from various quarters have had a great effect in purifying the atmosphere, and will, it is hoped, wholly dissipate the contagion. A new arrangement is, we understand, about to be formed for collecting the Custom Duties of Ire land. The chief part of the Imports of Ireland are shipped from the ports of Great Britain, whether British or Foreign productions. The Duties, we are informed, will be collected at the shipping ports on the other side the channel. The officers being quite adequate to the proper execution of this additional service, no increase of expense will be incurred, and, of course, the national-aggregate saving will be con siderable. The trade of Ireland with foreign nations is unfortunately so limited, that a few officers may collect the whole duties at the Irish ports, and hence the advantage of the new plan arises from the saving of the expense of collecting in Ireland, and the more effectual prevention of ►muggling. —Dublie Journal. The new improvements at the west end of the town are proceeding with great celerity. The grand feature at the top of Waterloo-place is the United Service Club-House, which will form a striking con trast to the buildings around it. About 100 work , men are employed in pulling down St. James's Mar. ket—not a vestige will remain in a few days. In Jermymereet, they are pulling dowp the Gun Ta vern ; and in ten days the line will be perfected from Carlton. House to Piccadilly. In Swallow -street, and from thence to Oxford -street, the progre►s is more tardy. North from Oxford-street to Portland-place, almost all the houses are pulled down. A knelt from Cambray, dated November 4, says, " The bounds of his Grace the Doke of WSLLING TON, on the 80th of last month, discovered a most enormous boar in the forest of Wallincourt. The animal, on being disturbed, passed rapidly into the forest of Ardipart, which he completely traversed; being then hard scented by the dogs he took to the plain, where he was vigorously pursed by hounds and ' sportsmen, and ere be could reach another wood was brought to bay. The animal then became fero cious, and destroyed all the dogs that approached him, when one of hie Grace's Aides-de-Camp plunged his spear into his side. This only rendered the beast more savage, when his Grace himself, seeing his d " gs would be destroyed, rode up, and with his spear gave the coo &rate; the animal made a desperate effort to wound his Grace's horse, and fell in the attempt. The peasants say he is the largest boar that has been seen for some years. Of the numerous field that started in the pursuit, only five, besides his Grace, reached the end." . SLIT/ LOTTIRT POSTPONRD.—In consequence of the lamented death of her Royal Highness the Princess CHAR:Arra, the Lords of the Treasury have issued a Warrant commanding the Postponement of the Drawing of the State Lottery, which was to have taken place lest Friday, until a future opportunity, of which due notice will be given.

COURT OF KING'S 13ENCIi, NOVEVIBM s. MoDesON, GENT. t'. SCARLET, FSi2. This was an action brought by an attorney against Mr. Scarlett, the King's Counsel, for slamlerpus words spoken by the latter of and concerning the former, during a trial at Lancaster, in which the plair►►ilf' acted as attorney for one of the parties. The words declared upon, and alleged to have been spoken by the defendant were :—" Mr. Peter Hodgson is a fraudulent and wicked attorney."— Plea, the general issue, Not Guilty. At the trial before Mr. Baron Wood, at the last Assizes for the County of Lancaster, the plaintiff was nonsu►ted ; the Learned Baron ruling in point of law, that words spuk-n by a barrister in discharge of his forensic duty were not actionable. Mr. ltaraz now moved for a rule to shew cause why the gunman should not be set aside, and a new trial granted, on the ground that the opinion of the Learned Baron was not founded in law. 'the Lear. ned Counsel, in stating the circumstances of tht.case, set out by observing, that the words alleged to have been uttered were spoken with reference to the sup posed conduct of the plaintiff in the former case, in which► he had acted as attorney for the then plaintiff, and in which case Mr. Scarlett had acted as Counsel for the then defendant. On the opening of the case at the trial now under consideration, the Learned Baron said that the action was of a novel nature, and could nut•be sustained ; for if such actions were encouraged, there would be a multitude of a similar nature, and the greatest part of the time of Courts of Jestice would be occupied in trying actions for words spoken by Counsel in advocating the cases of their respective clients at the preceding Assizes; and the Learned Baron assimilated the freedom of speech at the bar to. the privileges of Parliament. Now the Learned Counsel submitted that the Learned Judge was wrong, first in his law, and next in his compari son. The privilege of speech in Parliament was quite distinguishable from that said at the bar; for things said in Parliament were not cognizable in a Court of Cloisanion LAW ; whereas fur words spoken out of Parliament a man might be civilly and criminally 'liable. No man was punishable for any thing said by him in either House of Parliament, as was decided in Lord Abingdon's memorable case. This was, however, a privilege which did not belong to advo cates at the bar; and therefore the privileges of Par. figment were clearly distinguishable from those of Counsel. The Learned Baron said, 4 , As at present advised, I think the action not maintainable. The words might be too strong, and I think they were so; but I hold that the action is not maintainable." This general and unqualified position, the Learned Counsel submitted, was not founded in law. He must take the liberty or stating, that the Learned Judge laid 'the law down too generally, when he stated, that words spoken at the bar were not in any case action able. Undoubtedly it was necessary for the protec tion of his clients' interests that an advocate should have considerable latitude afforded him in advocat ing the cause entrusted to his care; but the privilege of speech must be exercised in the honest and con scientious discharge of that duty. It could not, how ever, be disputed, that that freeeom of speech which was so essential to the interests of partisular clients, and of the public in general, might be so abused, as to reflect upon the character of the advocate, and de rogate from the dignity of the bar. If an advocate thought proper to excetd the limits assigned him, and travel out of his instructions to malign the cha racter cal.aity man, he (Mr. %tine) took it to be a clear principle of law, that defamatory words so spoken wt." as actionable as if they were uttered in his private and individual capacity. The abuse of such a privilege was as amenable to the law as any other abuse calculated to inflict a private injury.— The Learned Judge was therefore clearly wrong in Iris general position, that no action could be main tained against a Counsellor for words spoken in Court. Lord EiLSNIMIOUGH —64 Was it on the opening of the case that the Learned Judge nonsuited you ? Mr. Italsit---" Yes, my Lord. He would not per mit me to go into evidence, eating it 1(4 granted that I should be able to prove the case I had opened. I was not permitted to go into evidence. When the Learned Judge lays it down as a general rule that no action of this kind is maintainable, I apprehend he lays down that proposition wish too ninch l aitude ; I submit with the inmost deference, that this is not the law of the land. 'Dime is a case in Croke, J ic. 90, which shews that the action is certainly maintaii:. able : that was the case of Brook v. Sir Henry Mon tague. Recorder of London, and I will read it to your Lordships I—. Action for tt ds ; for that the defen dant, at such a place in Surrey, spice these words of the plaintiff: that he was arraigned and convicted of felony", dec. the defendant pleads, that the plaintiff at another time brought false imprisonment against J. S. one of the Serjeants of Land. a, who justified by watrant from Sir Nicholas Isloseley, Mayor of Lon don, for arresting him to find sureties for good behaviour, and they were therefore at issue, and found against the plaintiff, who brought an ARAM ; and the defendant being consilierins et perdu; in legs, was retained to be of Counsel with the Petty Jury ; and in evidence at t►re trial in London, spake those words in the declaration, and so justifies ; and-Yel verton and Coke, Atturney-General, being of Coati. sel for the defendants, the Court resolved, that the, juktification was good; for a Ctidn(eiloi- in L. , e tanned, bath a privilege to enforce tiny . thing n is informed unto him tar his client; and to rnve ; in evidence, it b e i n g p ert i nent to t h e m utter in cptesti .n. I otherwise action upon the case lies ageinit him by his client, as Pophatit said ; but matter nut p.rtilient to the issue, or the matter in question, he need not to. deliver, for he is to discern in his discretion what he is to &beer, and what not ; and although it be false, be is excus tble, being pertinent to the matter. But if he gives in evidence any thing not material to thel issue which is scandalous, he might to aver it be true,' otherwise he is punishable, for it shall he intended as , spoken maliciously and without cause, winch is groond for action. Si,. if a Counsellor object matter a . ainst t , witness which is slanderous, if there b- caner to di,. credit his testimony, and be it pertinent to the mat ter in question, it is justifiable what he deliv, rs by information, alth o ugh it be false. So In re it is not.terial to prove him a person fit to be b Hind to his good behaviour, and in maintenance of the first ver diet ; therefore his justification is good ; ant Coke cites a case, la Eiix. where Parson Pick, in a ser mon, recited a story out of Fox's Martyrologie, that one Greenwood, being a peijured person, and a great persecutor, had graat pl e ties inflicted upon him, and was killed by the hand of Gan, whereas, in truth, he never was so plagued, and was himself present at that sermon ; anti Le, ti.ereuron, brought his action upon the case, for calling him a perjured person ;---e s and the defendant pleaded Not Guilty ; and this matter being disclosed upon the evidence, Wr..y, Chief Justice, delivered the law to the Jury ; that it being delivered but as a story, and not with any ma. lice or intention to slander any, he was wet guilty of 1 the words maliciously, and so was found Not Guilty. I 14. Hen. 6. 14. 20. Hen. 6. 24. And P.;ptiam af firmed it to be good law, when hr delivers matter after his occasion as matter of story, and not any intent to slander any ; wherefore for these tea.' sons it was adjudged for the defendant.' On the authority of this case, therefore, I submit that the Learned Judge was wrong. Here in) Learned Friend (Mr. Scarlet() pleads only the gensral issue Not Guilty, and does not justify. In the case refer red to, the justification was matter of evidence, the facebeing capable iif proof. All I mean to contend is, that the Learned Judge was wrung in his opinion, ut formed his opinion too hastily in pronouncing that the action was not at all maintainable. This is a question of very considerable importance, and 1 ap. prehend it to be quite indisputable (if 1 may be per mitted so to say) that the Learned Judge was pre mature in his opinions" Lord Euxtanonnuoit —That, I think, is without doubt. It the Learned Judge had said that tbc words uttered were pertinent to the case, he would be right in saying that the plaintiff was wrong in his action ; but to say that a person who introduces, without any cause, what is primalicie calumnious, is protected by his character of Cutt.:sel merely, is further than I am prepared to go. Mr. Torianc inturpesed and raid, that the words stated by his Learned Friend, Mr. Rhine, were not the only words used by the defendant, as would have been proved if the case had gone on. The case, how ever, was certainly considered as it the witness ha/ been called into the box, and had proved the words. Mr. Raise said, that one of the counts of the de claration contained only the words—" Mr. Peter Hodgson is a fraudulent and wicked attorney ;" but these were coupled with other s, which he ( Mr. Raine)certairly never meant to withhold. The words stated in the first count v,...re the..e...." Some actions are founded in folly--some in knavery, and some in both. Some in the knavery of the attorney —n i ece in the fully and knavery of the parties. Mr. i'eter Hodgson was the attorney for the plaintiff ; he drew 'the promissory note fraudulently, and got Beaumont to put into his hands 4E450 for the benefit ot the plaintiff. This was one of the most profligate things I ever knew dune by a professional man. Mr. Peter Hodgson is a fraudulent and wicked attorney."
