The libellous pas suers sett iCt tut th ill our rellOrl of the trail.

Nu affidavits were pal in on the port of iil•e other defendants. Oui behalf of the prosecution an affidavit was read, stating time the deponent, toured %Valiant Allen, had regularly luau chased the numbers of the Jan Bull almost (tom its r immencement ; that the paragraphs selected were only pti it of a regular system of cal y clamd oil au.ainst the late Queen.; and the defendants, haying been convicted of a lib .1 an a deceased lady, and semeistast to imprisonment tied hoe, boasted of their inderentlence of prosecutions, stud asset fed that they had received 900 1 . 111 l slOnatilv, imleatitifying them against loss. ft also stated, that in one of their papers it was stated that more titan 4'16.00) copies of the rek% >paper had been sold. Tlii• defendants being severally inked whether they wished to wee any thing in mitigation of punishment, bo wed re.. pecitudy to the Court, and lull mated that they had nothing tai oir.r. Toe Common Sergeant then addressed the Court in agent •atian of the pniidd mt. The defendants had, he 'said, put sued a sery di•creet course iii nuking nu addre•s to the irt—a coni se which, ito doubt, experience had shown lit be the wisest. !lard as it was to attack thlre who int tile no resistance, he should be guilty of till abate' of that duty which hist compelled I l ii t s bring these di..., ow* Fag pauitUISIS even into discussioa, if lie were induced by any ;personal consideration to say nothing of the hirliou. crime of which the defendants stood convicted. It bad hei•n thought necessary for the public goad, to bring forward these it.div Waal* tar ju-tice, as they haul gratified the malig nity of the must malignant, agithea the highest subject of la- realm, now no more. The libels of which they were fat d guilty were live in number—of the grossest and most in ~mews kind; and yet these were sworn to be but it sainple Ili I hlt venomous invective which could not he suspi tided e.eii b b • death of its victim. After she had been consizned to t •e solent tomb of her ancestors, they still pursued le. in.* salary with the same um cleating slander 14 itll w hich they hat imhitteri d her life. to these libels, they dared to chit* ea. ter iz.• the hilt subject of the realm its a shameless *cumin —as a female lust In mill mien-e of propriety and tle•t•euey— ar one now sunk into oblivion, in *lllOl She *014 , 1 lilt well to remoiu fur shelter—as heartless, hat dray& an " example of profligacy, nastiness, and sitipmvity."

Was there coy thing equal to this in the whole history of the press? No wonder if her Majesty was milavourably received at the opera—no wonder exalted ladies, who would have been proud and happy to ittlord her the consolations of their society, slitunk back ; fur these defendants threatened an expo sure which Ito female mind could brave, and to defy which required an heroic courage scarcely consistent with the setter virtues of the sex. The detentlants. according to their own statement, had made large profits—something near 5,0001. (setting the subscriptions against the dedue • for fines) by their detestable and unmanly traffic.— He would well believe they were not only the publishers of the work, but its limbo's; for lie declared before God, that he weld,' accuse nu man of so revolting a crime with.

'lice national morals, the national character, the public peace, all violated by the defendants, called on the Court to s.istain them. l'hcir Lordships would not allow these men to glory in theirill-gotten wealth ; they would not suffer them to enjoy the thought that they would be indemnified by their readers, also thought their tease of atrocity 411 excellent S lay repast, tiara all harm. If one of the defendants snu ffer should ser pecoliatly trout impri sonment, it Wit , . matter of regret; but the Court had scat - rely any optionotow that another mode of ponisliment was abolished, but to hilted imprisonment or tine. lie called on the Court, on behalf of the living anti the dead, for that protection which the living, and the memory of the dead, had ever received from their hands. Mi. Brougham followed on the same side. The Court would, he said, pet ceive at once that the defend:ints had been guilty of a most deep and serious offence, fur which they had expressed no contrition; the motives of their labour was avowed—their tendency was obvious—their effects were matter of lamentable history. Their slanders had tended to imbitter, if not shot tell, the life of the first &object of these realms. They had been engaged in a coaspirary to outlaw that illustrious lady ft out the society of her fellow-stilijects, and had vaunted of their suc:ess to the world. Th .y had degraded the press, that best ist strionent of public itistrite , iee, and bad made it their boast that they inn °deiced into it one mighty mass of cot roption. It they set re [whir uto be the most atrocious of criminals who poisoned the wells of a great city, what should be said of those who infected the springs of know ledge at the fountain head, and made its waters fit only fur unnatural add degraded appetites to banquet on ? They might or might not he the authors of these odious winks; and if they were only the base hirelings of miss I creative lurking in the back wowed, the Court would re ! gard them with no less indignation. Their sentence would I reach these miscreants, ifinich they were, and would place them in such a situation not to be envied by the lowest of Minima beings. They would know in the bands of what ' agents their sect et wes deposited; they a mild tremble i hunt ly fur its dieclostire; and when that disclosure , should come, as collie it must, they would be pointed at with I wiugled feelings. which were usually incompatible, of the I uttermost contempt and the uttermost hatted, and would be pm sited with the indignation and scorn of the high. minded E.thill people.

HORSE BAZAAR, KING STRERT BARRACKS. PORTMAN-SQUARE, FOR THE SALE OF HORSES, BY COMMISSION. MHE following regulations are humbly submitteil JL to the Public by GEORGE YOUNG, (the Proprietor.) of this Establishment, which stands on two acres, and contains tween 3 and 400 stalls, a large riding house, and good exercising ground, enclosed with high walls. I horses will be taken in for sale. every day (Sunday excepted), from nine o'clock in the morning until eight in the everting, during summer, and until dark in the winter, on being first eNa. mined by the veterinary surgeon, in order to guard against contagious disease being introduced. The premises are now open, for general business (only during these hours), within which horses may be tried, or taken away. A commission of £3 per Cent. will be charged on the amount of all sales. The price for forage will be that ordinarily charged in thz saute neighbourhood, from time to time, for the like care, &c. and each horse will have four feeds, or a peck of the best corn, per day, an hour's walking exercise, and will be sweated once a week, in a gentle trot, having on two suits of clothes, by which be will be in good condition for immediate work (without injuring h:s legs by strong exercise, and without being liable to those fatal diseases generally arising from over exertion, when not pre viously preps: e 1.) Horse,: sent as carriage horses may be seen in harness, and tried a short distance out of the Bazaar ; but saddle horses will nut be allowed to go out, as the space within is sufficiently exten sive and convenient for trial and exercise. Studs of horses will be received, with their grooms (if required) but they must comply with the regulations laid down ter the servants of die Bazaar. An able veterinary surgeon, and smith, belonging to the Bazaar, will be coustantly looking over the stables; careful experienced head-grooms and stablemen selected ; and a watch man kept tip all night, to guard as much as possible ogzanst accidents, particularly those arising from horses getting cast in their stalls. Great attention will be paid to horses' feet, which is of the utmoA importance, while they are out of regular work. All horses purchased must be paid far previous to delivery, and must be returned within the second day, and within the pre. • scribed hours in that day, if they should be warranted, and prove unsound. The proprietors of horses sold, may receive the amount if I sales (deducting Mr keep, commission, bee.) on the fourth day after the sale. The keep of horses that may be taken away unsold, must be paid before delivery. The proprietor of the Bazaar will not deal in horses, eith.n. I directly or indirectly, but conduct himself most strictly as an agent ; nor will any servant be allowed to deal, or ask for a n y perquisite. As many Country Dealers may he disposed to send horses to the Doz.'s'', an abatement will be made (to them only) in the charge for commission and forage. All risk whatever will, of course, be that of the owner of horsia4 LOlll3Oll fo a t 5 CORN EXCHANGE. FRIDAY, MAY 17.
