The Success and Pilot transports have arrived at Portsmouth from the Mediterranean, with returned ordnance and commissariat stores from Malta, inva lided seamen from the British squadron, and invalided and limited-service men from the following regiments —Royal Artillery, Bth or King's, 10th and 18th, 1:.r ; al Irish, and from the 26th, 27th, 28th, 36th, 51st, 64th, 75th, and 90th. ‘Ve learn by the above vessels that the garrison at Gibraltar was healthy, notwithstanding the weather had been intensely hot not more than .50 or 60 casualties were in the hos • pital, and no case of fever. At Cadiz and the vil lages around there were indications of fever, and the Spaniards were apprehensive of extensive sickness; Trade' had been exceedingly brisk at Gibraltar, though entirely carried on by smuggling, a practice that has been produced by the restrictions imposed by the Spaniards on the regular trade with their ports.—The ship Hooey, and another large private British trailer, from India direct, had recently landed and sold great part of their cargoes of tea, and other Indian produce, and considerable sales had likewise takui place in tobacco. The garrison at Gibraltar consisted of the 26th, 21111, 64th, and 75th regiments; the 18th, 80th, and 85th regiments were at Malta; the Bth regiment was at Zanto ; the :10th regiment tat Mon : AIONDAY. NOVEMBER 91. SENTENCE UPON M. A. CARLILE. In our paper to day we give an account of the ap pearance in Court of Mary Ann Carlile (whose brother and sister-in-law are at present incarcerated in Dorchester jail) to receive sentence for having published a blasphemous libel. We hare always expressed our abhorrence of the principle which can instigate such publications—we have always con sidered that while every one is allowed to worship the Deity in his own way, coutroversy on the sub ject of religion is more likely to do harm than good, and even if we believed that the Christian Faith were founded in fable, yet should we doubt whether or not it might be mercy to the uninformed part of mankind, to destroy that hope from which they de rive strength of mind to meet the sorrows of this world with fortitude, and to anticipate a happy fu turity with confidence—under the influence of these feelings it cannot be supposed that we shall be the apologists of this unfortunate, infatuated family, whose perseverance, in the face of that law which they must know has power to ultimately crush them, partakes strongly of madness—but we may ask, is not this sentence most excessive ? is it not, in fact, tantamount to one of imprisonment for life? and that is a sentence which, in even worse times than these, no Judge could yet find an excuse in the books of' British law for passing. The Bill of Rights, a main part of that non-de script article which we call ova CONSTITUTION, declares, " That excessive bail ought not to be required, nor excessive fines imposed; nor cruel and unusual punishments inflicted"—and yet a woman who is not worth five pounds, is sentenced to pay a fine of FIVE HUNDRI.D POUNDS, to be imprisoned in Dorchester gaol one year, and at the expiration if that time give sureties for seven years, herself' in 10001. and two sureties in 1001. each; and to be imprisoned until such fine is paid anti security given. —We do not wish that she should nut be restrained from a repetition of her offence, but we regret that her sentence should be of so severe a nature as to excite feelings of a doubtful kind towards the Judges who deliberated upon it, and we fear moreover that by its severity those who have hitherto regarded the infamous activity of this family with unmixed con tempt, will find that feeling converted into one of commisseration and pity—we can most truly declare that it has already worked such a conversion upon us. .." THE NATIONAL REGISTER at Cephalonia; the 28th, 51st, and 90th regiments at Corfu; the Std regiment was dispersed among the Seven islands.—The Rockfort, Vice-Admiral Sir G. Moore, K.C.B. was at Leghorn about the 14th Oct. (when the above transports left Malta), and about to proceed to Malta for a new main-mast, (having sprung her present one), and thence to Corfu. The Revolidionaire, Hon. F. Pellew, was refitting at Mahe; the Redpole, Capt. P. Hay, at Zante ; the Racehorse, Hon. Capt. Abbott, was daily expected at Malta, from Sinyrna, on her way to England ; the Despatch, Cain. Jervoise, was at Ce phalonia; the Chanticleer, at Malta; the Rate, Capt. Clowes, and Marlin, Capt. Askew, had gone to Smyrna, to join the Medina, Lord Huntingdon, and protect the trade there. COURSE OF EXI Amsterdam, 12 13 C. F. Ditto, at %light, 12 12 Rotterdam, 12 l6 RANGE, Nov. 16.

Till!: NATIONAL REGISTEIf. :;., 365 Another Report of the Recorder of London has been made to his Majesty, and erg* offenders against the laws of their country have been ordered to expiate their crimes by DEATH, on Wednesdiky next ! Of these, four are for uttering forgeriet.of those slovenly notes, which, to the disgrace of Eng land, have for so many years been allowed to court their easy imitation—and the other four are for steal ing—and is there then in the ingenuity of man no power to discover a punishment which might, at all events, leave yet a possibilily of reformation— " Unfit to live, they are not fit to die," yet arethey doomed to be " sent to their account—no reckoning made—with all their imperfections on their heads... We have the Divine authority for visiting murder with death, but we have also the Divine prohibition against punishing with death any other crime, and however terrific may be a criminal information e - (Ai°, at the suit of the Attorney General, we hesi tate not to say, boldly, that the human law, which is positively opposed to our Holy Bible, is Lid, evzn though it be inscribed in the boasted Statute Book of the United Kingdom. The party who has per haps been ruined by forgery, or he who has been severely injured by the gross violence of the robber, will exclaim against our feelings of hu manity—will, we would ask either the one or the other, the hanging the culprit procure the restoration of your property, or apply an efficacious balsam to your wounds? Certainly not ; and if it would, where is the man who ,would pur chase such ialemnity at the price of the offender's blood? As to the effect of example, it really is a theme on which old women only will enlarge, while it is upon record that a convict has picked the pocket of a turnkey while he was receiving the Bement* of death, and that while that awful sentence *as k lt progress to execution, even at the foot of the gallows,. his heretofore-companions have availed themselves of the bustle caused by his execution to carry 03 their depredations—that a radical change is wan in our criminal code, no one with the feelings of Christianity will deny, and Heaven will bless that man who has power to accomplish such a change.— Those not possessed of such power can only with us ejaculate a prayer for those who - :hall effect what we so fervently wish for. - --- The Euryalus frigate, Capt. Ilford, is fititng at Portsmouth for the Mediterranean station. The public defaulter, said to be minus 40,0001, has been traced to a ship bound for America, three days after she sailed, and that a fast sailing cutter was immediately dispatched in chase of the vessel.-- If the amount of the sums lost to the coutstry, thr the last twenty years, by defaulters, was published, it would astonish the countr w o perceive how much , it has been pillaged, even during that period.
