Weight, for publishing certain blasphemous 'libels contained in the works R. Carlile, composed since leis imp' isonment in Dorchester gaol. The prosecution was instituted by the Society for the Suppression of Vice. Mr. Gaselee, in the absence of td r. Gurney, who is con fined by indisposition, stated the case for the prosecution. II seemed that the prosecution and pienishinetit of Mr. Carlile hail not had the effect of attaining that which was the object of all pa osecuttuns of this natter. —namely, the refoinmeion of the offender, and a warning to others. Even the menehers of his emu family bad taken no %awn ing 110111 his fate; and, by his pernicious example, the defendant, who appeared to be connected with him, now appeared on the 11,or, daring the vengeance of the law.• - The defendant had no excuse fur her conduct on the score of poverty, or inability to maintain herself by law feel awaits. Site was a married woman, her husband was em ployed in a hies alive business, and üble In suppoet tier in lost sod rimy. The libels bole the signature of K. Caul le, and were contained its a correspondence Os he lium real or fictitious he knew not) with a itev. W. Wake, and were couched in the moat Mit mire and disgusting terms, tending to bring into contempt the established re ligion of the country. The learned counsel puree:tied to read the offensive passages, which we forbear repeating— they contain an irreverant and allusive upon the Christian religion. J. Ripest!, an agent of the Society for the Snppres•ion of 'Vice, proved, thee he petrclase•d the pamphlets in spies tiou of the defendant at Carlile's shop, 53, Flee► sleet, on the tali and 3011 i of May last.—On leis cross-examina tion by the defeeidai t, who conducted her own defence, the witness Said he had been for '4u years he the sees ice of the Customs, am. had a pension from Government. She iiiin several questions as to his religions faith, Will los knowledge of certain commandments, which Wiwi:see were over-ruled by the learned Judge. The libels having bttu read, the defendant refit,. ited THE NATIONAL REGISTER other parts of the publications to be read, which was com plied with. The defendant, who was very smartly dressed, sur rounded by Mitt or five females, and attended by one of her bail. proceeded to read a 1011'4 smitten address to the Jail. Site proclaimed her titter disbelief or CM ediaility, declared that site entet Mined Ito religious principles, and professed her willingness to sear in the cause of Mr. Cathie, whose principles she inhibited ; and declared that site wos 0 volmilirry and wilini„o propsgatoi of his doe lanes, without hope of reward. Indeed like hail berm brought op to a genteel business, and was able to main tain lies self as a lace-maker and embroiderer, and her husband was in good eii commences. She said, It is tidos ions that Mr. Garble is no Christian, 4411 , 1 I wish it to I be as notorious that I am no Cioiaiatt."—'llie wtiter of the address then proceeded to exa 11l iii e the allegations ut the indictment, mid denied, Ott the part of the defendant, I that she was influenced by the motives therein impaled to I her. A lung expivation dud defrocc ot cite principles ul Mr. Cathie then followed. 'lke Lord Chief dustier. then sent the case to the Jury, and with went impartiality eollllllellied upon the vas WWI paßsagcs cUnlaillyd 111 the libel.

This was an action on two bills of eschsii;:e, the first of which was dated Jan.:l, I S•2l,lll4Wis by 3.1111 , 1 the firm of Hew mil and Oaths, on Cie defenitidit, 101 7,5004, payable U caps after date to his own tinier, av er:pled try the deft sidant, clid,itseit by the ray et . to the plaintiff; the second bole date on iiie saute clay, was drawn, accepted, and estdoi:ied by die smite patties ri s pertiveiy, able at the same tune, for ~,iftnit. Oa the lash of the defendant, an attempt was made to "thew that the bills were cuilotsed for a usurious consider atrial. It appeared that they were substituted for lit re other bills, one of 5,14101. one of .45001., and one of 0.1. having been paid oil account oi the last; and the clerk of Howard and Gibbs was called to get through the items of the acconnt on which (lie original bills were given, to prove usury. It did uot appear, however, that there was any usurious interest calculated as such ; and the only doubt arising from one or two very trilling items of charge, The Lord Chief Justice said that it would be too much, because some little tit en barge had been made, probably arising front mere mistake, to regard the transaction as illegal. AY to (be original considelation for which the defendant acrepted,he 11111$1 seek his ri dress fi ma others. The Jury accendingly found a verdict Ire the pl au+uti' Danlages I 4,60.11., being the amount of pi lacteal and inteivst till final judgment. Tits: KING V. antATEN. This was an indletinent against tie defendant for a nuisance, in opening and keeping a house for slanglitel tog beasts In Warwick-lime. Tice prosecution was cat m ied Jo at the instance of the city. Mr. Shirley, a distiller, and Mr. Logan, a smith, re siding in Warwick lane, described the inconvenience which they sustained front the deleuilatit's blanghter-liouse in very auinsated language. On their cross-examination, they admitted that there were other slaughter-houses in Warwick-lace before the defendant changed a book bilidel's shop into a butcher's, but vehemently declared that Smitten MO greatly increased die disagreeable cir cumstances of their !Militarist. 111 r. Adolphus, for lime defendant, urged that it was absolutely necessary that slaughter-housed should exist ; that their coticesittothni was a public benefit ; that War wick-lane, placed between Smithfield and Newirate-inar• ket, was the fittest place tut thrill; mid that the defendant, though he had increased lice number of houses fur the purpose of slaughter, had only divided the actual evil. There were eleven other elatighteishouses near, mid the defendant had adopted every means to prevent his trade front bee 1111 l ciensive. tie.

The Jury found the detendant GALSAY ti. LLOYD. This was an action on a policy of insurance against an underwater, to recovrt his proportion of Itsol., the value of three horses insured with a cargo front London to Jii maica. The insurance was made " fine of mortality and _jettison," and the horses died by reason of the agitation of the ship breaking their fastenings, in consequence of which they kicked and mortally w led each other. l'he detendants now called several gentlenteu,lll3llV y ems conversant se ills the pt entice of Lloyd's Coffee-house, w hu stated that the word " modality" had been treated as applying to every species of death ; that where the wart anly was ii :rodueed,a much lower tit entium was paid ; and that the ink was to pay tor tilt All it' the ship was entiiely Met, but uot if she am rived in safety after their death. The. Lodi Chief Justice, for the purpose of bringing the question again home the Court, proposed that the Jury should find a vet diet fur the plaintill, expressly un der lii. direction, and that a bill of exceptions should be tendered fur the defendant against that directiou ; but they expressed so strong Rh oploiuu hr favour of the con struction contended fur by the defendant, and against the decision of tine Court, that it was finally Agr, ell that they should find a special verdict, dating all the facts poured before liletrl• TiILRLDAY, JrLY it CUNT V. WILLAN. This was an sction by Mr. Cort against Mr. Willan, who is the proprietor of the Bull rod Mouth Inn, and very extensively concerned in public con%eyaucen throughout the kingdom, fur expressions reflecting un his character. The Solicitor-General staled, that the plaintiff had been for three years, previous to the offensise language, a clerk in the employ of the defendant, in which situation he had conducted himself with integ rity and honour. Ile was also secretar y to the committee of London carriers, and was shout to make a highly advantageous arrangement with Messrs. Brown and Wil lingham, for the eon , eyance of specie (rum Manchester to lonoloi. One day in No‘ ember in the last year, Mr. Wallin, without provocation, ordered him to quit his service, and charge.. , hint with having mulowled money which he received for him in Smithfield. In t sosequeune of this imputation, Messrs. Brown and Willington, though convinced of its lalse- Loud, Lit that they shook: uut Ise juAitieti iu permitting Lon to exeree:e a great public trust, and be was compelled to seek from the verdict of a jury the complete vindication of his •,,o d Game. Mr. French, a clerk of Mr. Willan, proved that the defairlant came, apparently irritated, to the race on the day in question, and clanged the plaintiff with embezzling money. lint it ap ps ared from the testiarouy of the witness, that Mr. Within, now in Iris 7itli year, after a life of very active exertion, lari suffered that decay in his faculties which might be e‘peet et{ from Isis pro tracted exertions ; flint those about him knew that he was sometimes Misted with misconceptions which it was hard to dissipate ; and that there was no einlierveshibited in his gene ral conduct to the plaintiff. On the contrary, La had, by his influence as Chairman of the Conimittee of Landon carriers, procured him the situation of secretary. The witness was quite sure there was nothing in the conduct of the plaintiff on IN 'AA a charge of dishonesty could be grouaidert. Mr. Scarlett, who appeared for the defendant, rose and begged to state that there was not the smallest grimed Cra the eliarAe conveyed in the expressions, not the least imputatiou ou the plaintiff's character. he Lord Chief Justice suggested the propriety of not pro ' needing further in a cause, the real end of whiek was attained by the avowal now made on the part of the defervutt. After *nine diseuirsinn between the counsel, this sii i 4gestion was acceded to. and a juror willadrawn, on the distinct under standing that there was no suspicion resting on Mr Curt, and on payment of costa by the defendant. as between attorney and COURT OF COMMON PLEAS. TIMItSD AY, JULY 11. DALLIWALL V. LODGE. `Tr. Sergeant Busanquit stated, that this was nn nction bronght against the defendant, for having simke slanderous w orris of the plaintiff. The object of the latter was not to olit , in damages, but to clear his clirracter from the unjust imputations which had been east upon it by the de eutlant. Offer' had been made from the very first on the part of the plaintiff to stop all proceedings, on condition that the aspersions should be retracted as publicly as they bail been spoken ; but to these offers the defendant had never thought fit to accede. The only plea put on the record was the general issue, and the defendant had not therefore availed himself of the opportunity of justificatiou which had been offered him. The plaintiff, however, even now, was wil ling to deal with hint as indulgently as pozsible, and therefore offered, in the most liberal manner, that if the defendant would disavow, by his Counsel, the slanderous impntations, he (the plaintiff) would be content to take a verdict for such slim cushy as aliould pay him the expenee of appealing to a Court ofl entice. The Lord Chief Justice Dallas recommended the party to consider the oiler thus liberally made. Mr. Sergeant Vaughan consulted for some time with his client, bat at lene,th turned round, observing," I am afraid you must go on." Mr. Sergeant Bosanquct then proceeded to lay the cue before the Jury. The plaintiff was un oil and colournian, residing at Whitechapel, and sonic time since had the misfortune to hate his house burnt, and the destruction wits completed by the ex plosion of some gunpowder then un the premises. Notice of the accident was immediately given to the office at which the plain tiff was insured, and, after the usual examination, the Company were perfectly sati.fied that every thing bad been fair and ho nourahle on the part of the plaintiff, and accordingly, without further hesitation, they paid the amount of his insurance. With these facia the defendant was acquainted, and yet he had, from what motive it is impostinle to say, openly asserted that the plaintiff had set fire to his own house, These words bad not been used carelessly or lightly by the defendant ; for having asked the reason of saying so, be replied, I dealt with him him till lie robbed me, and I would rather deal with a Jew than a robber." Bat even the plaintiff did not institute legal pro ceedings ; he ordered his attorney to write to hint, offering him a ?netting, to prove what lie had asserted, or requiring hint to retract what lie had assertod. Both were refused ; and the present action was therefore instituted. Mr. Sergeant Vaughan here interrupted the learned gentleman, and requested a few minutes to be allowed his client, to consult out of moat wbelber he would accept the plaintiff's offer.— This was granted, and the defendant accordingly retired with his at of ney. On his return, Mr. Sergeant Vaughan a;ain rose, and said, that the defen dant accepted the oiler w loch had been made. Ile had intended to defend himself ou the ground of never having used the ex pressions imputed ; and he now authorized his counsel to dis claim them, in the t direct and positive manner. Lord Chief Justice Dallas thought that the defendant had acted must discreetly in accepting the liberal offer of the plain • titr. A verdict for the plaintiff—Damages 40a. was then taken consent.

This was an action brought by the plaintiff to recover damages of the defendant, for criminal conversation will' his wife. The damages were laid at 10,0001. and the defendant pleaded the general issue. Sir H. Meredith, Hirt. stated the plaintiff's case. — The pl, • •ff was about three years a prisoner in the Four Courts Marshalsea, where the noble defendant was also confined for debt ; the plaintiff's wife resided for some time in the prison with her husband; her husband had been there for live months before an intimacy ab co out m menced between him and th e defendant, who, August, irsgu, knocked at Mr. Nowlans door in the prison, to inquire for a Mr. Andrews, who was sitting With the plaintiff and his wife; he concluded himself, on being asked to sit, with great respect and politeness ; be did say that lie was a married man, and the lather of a family, his wife a residentof this city ; an intimacy grc w out of this introduction ; die results as she learned coun sel stated, were most latal in his client's peace.
