I.^?. 111. HUNT AND THE NEW TIMES. The Grand Jury of London and hliddleset having foetid a true bill against John Stoddart, Edward Quits, Proprietors, an-I Andrew NI it , shell, printer and publisher, of the Nor Mutt', t'r a libel upoti Mr. Hunt, at the Old Bailey, on Saturday, About 8 o'clock in the eicning Mr. Hunt addressed the Court, anti said, he had a motion to make to have , both* of bail. The Commod Scrjeant said, he could not admit any motion to be made in Coat!, unless it was done by Counsel. MT. aunt replied, that he was the prosecutor, and appeared there to make the motion himself. The Common Sergeant said, he would hot peratit any inotioti to be made, except by Counsel ; and no 'notion upon Misdemeanour, until the criminal trials were Over. Mr. Hunt sat down till the Court was about to rise: ; he then iiimetl that John Stoddart, Edward Quin, and Andrew Nlitchell, proprietors and printers of the \ Times, who had that day a true bill found against them' for a libel, should give him, Henry Hunt, 48 • hours notice of bail ; and that the principals Should themselves be bound in 4001. each ; and their buil in ttOul each. The Common Sergeant said, the Corset would not ttieke any such order ; that 801. themselves, and 401. their bail, was the common sum in cases of libel : the object was to get the Court to grant a warrant on Saturday night, and so to hold the defendant in custody till l'efunday moaning: Mr. Hunt. —My object was no such thing ; I did Mt intend to move for a warrant, till the Court in its kindness has informed me that I am entitled to it ; therefore I now move also for a warrant. The . Common Sergeant.—Tlie Court will not grant it. Mr. Hunt. —Well, then, I demand I may have 48 tkfurs' notice of bail: One of the Sheriffs (11,nuinvi) rose and said, to put the mattti to rest he would be ' one bf the bail. Mr. Huut.—As 1 do not know that gentleman, I should require 48 hours notice to inquire about him. Common Sergeant—Let the detbrulants give Mr. Hunt 48 houre notice elf their buil, but let the warrant be suspended till the 48 hours are up. Mr. Hunt.—What ! then the warrant is not to be granted till the 0 hours are up, and of course is of no use ? The Comnion Sergeant —The Court has ordered it. Mr. Hunt. —Be it so, I came here to do my duty. I 'trust I have dune it. Upon which Mr. Hunt left the Court. As he was going home, near the bottom of Ludgate Hill, a cheek. of the Court ante running without his hat, anti informed Mr. Hunt that the Common Sergeant wished to speak another word with him. Mr. H'unt.—Sir, tell the Common Sergelwit, that as he did not behave with common civility to me in the Court, I shall &Atte to gratify his wish. During the above disetiasion, the utmost silence pre vailed. The Court was vet" , crowded. 1r) Itt ADr (IL SUICIDE —On Tuesday Motning a George Teesdale, son of Mr. Teesdale, Clerk of Smithfield Market, was sitting at breakfast at the horns of his brother, Mr. Joseph Teesdale/ Stnitlifiad-bars, when fie seized a knife, and cut his throat in a most horrible tnanner. He was conveyed to St. Bartholomew's Hospi talk where he died. The deceased was of gay habits and disposition. During Bartholomew Fair, and fbr some time previous, he took to excessive drinkin.. ; he was not in bed the whole of Monday night slab Was intoxiftgell when he committed the act. lin inquisition tit on Friday upon the hotly, when the brother of the demised stated, that ftir some days prior to the C artl tnissionof the net; the deceased was , in his opinion, de ranged. He described tl'ih inannet the deemed com mitted the fatal deed. The Jury returned a verdict, that deceased cut his thrbat irt a state of ittganity, Prince Blucher, according to the accounts front Egra, was in a state of extreme exhaustion; but infottintion of a more recent date, from Berlin, announces that he had gone out in his carriage, and was fast recoveting. The follawing curious specimen of logical deduction was quoted by Mr. Poole, a MaOstrate of Kent, at a Hailstone meeting last week :—A Mr. Mao boasted that he lived in the best house in the world, and he proved clic fact thus:—lie lived in England, which Was the best country in the world; Kent was the best c unty •in Etigland ; Maidstone wes the tewt town in Kent ; Stone-street was the best street in Maidstone ; and his house was the best house in Stone-street. - - Advices from Spain, itrtinits us that several thousand troops are to lx: scut to the horidas and South America with all possible expeditiosi a sufficient number of Spanish vessels having at length' been procured fir that 1)1•11.00 , :- The Russian men of War, it is now found, an: not sea wort!:y for so long a voyiep ; anti this vex atious hal. is Anted to have produced such feelings of restntinetit in the ',must of his Catholic Majesty, that At i with much difficulty the HoSalmi Ambassador can noiN oLtb.lo ,onlience at Court. tilt IgATIONAt.

When Cumin was call ed to the bar he was witheut friends, without connec tions, without fortune, conscious of talents far above the mob by which he %vas elbowed, end cursed with sensibility which rendered hint painfully alive to the inortificathms he was fitted to experience. Those who have risen to professional eminence, and tetollect the ' impetliniente of such a commeocement—the neglect • abroad—the poverty pethaps . at hoest=the &owns of rivalry—the feats of friendship—the sneer at the first 1 essay— the prophecy that it will be the last—tliscou i ragethents as to the present—forebodings as to the fit- . tore-=-some who arc established endeavouring to crush the chance of competition, and some who have failed anxious tsar the wretched consolation of Companionship —those who recollect the comforts of such airappren ticeship may duly apprechite poor Curran's situation. After toiling Skit. a very inadequate. recompense at the 1 sessions of Carl, and wearing, ai he said himself, his teeth almost to their stumps, he proceeded to the me trope/it; hiking for his wife and young children', tt mi serable lodging upon Hog Hill. Term after Term, without either profit or professibfial reputation', he paced ' the hail of the Four Courts . . Yet even thus he was not elto t irei her tiudistinguished. If his pocket was not heavy, his heart was light; he was yottnls and ardent, buttyed up not kss by the conscioestesS of What he felt Within, than ty the encouraging compirison with those who were successful around him, and he took his sta tion a'motig the crowd of idlerS, whom he aniuSed With his wit or amazed by his eloqiiertee. Many even who , had emerged from that crowd did not disdain occasion ally to glean from his conversation the rich and varied treasures which he did not fail to squander with the most unsparing pnaligality ; and some there *ere who obsereed the brightness of the infant luminary drug glhig through the obscurity that added its commence ment. Amongst thole who had the eicriteihation to appreciate, and the heart to feel fbr Mn, luckily for Curran, was Mr. Arthur Wolfe; afterwards the unfor tunate but respected Lord Kilwarden. The first fee of any consequence which he received was through his recommendation ; and his recital of the incident cannot be without its interest to the young professional aspir ant whom a temporary neglect may have sunk into dejection. ' I then lived,' said he, ' upon Hog Hill ; uty wife and children were the chief furniture of my sipartnienti; and as to my rent, it stood pretty : much the same chance of its liquidation with the national debt. Mm Curran, however, was a barrister's lady, and what was wanted in wealth she was well determined should be yipplied by dignity. The landlady, on the oilier hand, hid . no idea of any gradation except that of pounds, shillings, and perm. I walked out one morning to ateld the perpetual altercations on the Sub, ject, with my mina, you may imagine, in no very enviable temperament. I fell into the gloom to which from Ay infancy I had been occasionally subject. I had a family for whom I had no dinett; and a land lady for wham I had no tent. I had gone abroad in despondencel returned home almost in desperation. When I opened the door of my studyi- where Lousier alone could have found a library, the'first object which presented itself was an intfnense fund brief, tWenty golden guineas *rapped up beside it, and the name of Old Lyons marked upon the back of it. I paid my landlady—bought a good dinner---tave Bob Lyons a share of it ; and that dinner was the' (fete of my pros perity i' .

CLEIIKENWELL ScssloNs.-'Mr. Aunt atteeded the Sessions-house, at Clerkeuwell, on Friday, in order to try Me: Dowling's indictment ; but the practice of the Court being, that if d but is found, it cannot be tried at the same Sessions, he pleaded, traversed, and entered it first on the list, to be tried the first day of next Ses sions, which begins the 26th day of October.
