COURT -OF RING'S BENCH, Nov. 26. 201 KING V. MCNABB BLACOW, CLINK. • (FwrtAer Partiesiare.) This was on information filed by the Attorney-Gen. agaiget the defendant, a Lancashire Clergyman, for a HO on the late Queen. The trial tune on before Mr. Justice" HOL:IO4D at the last Anises for the county of Lancaster, when the libel (which was first preached by the defendant in the church of St. Mark, Liverpool, and afterwards printed ander the title of " Substance of a Sermon preached by the Rev. Richard Blacow, be.") was read in Court. The Jury found a verdict of guilty. Mr. DENMAN now moved for judgment. Thedefeadant appeared upon the floor of the Court. Mr. Justice HoLarne read his note of the trial. The defendant declined patting in affidavits. Mr. DENMAN said that none would be produced by the prosecution. The Loan Cuter JUSTICE asked whether the de fendant would say any thing in mitigation. The defendant had nothing to address to their Lordships.. pie LORD O t ter JUSTICE . then called upon the Collies) for the prosecution. Mr. DIN AN declined saying's' single word. Mr. Beconeitim . apprehended that upon such a sub ject very few words from hith would be sufficient. The Court had heard the libel 'read, but they bad not heard the defence made by Mr. Blacow at his trial ; and certaioly, in this country, there never had been exhibited a scene more disgraceful to the character of a Clergyman. Mr. Justice &Mar.—That scene, Mr. Brougham, is not.repeated here. Mr:listociatast.—lt is for that very reason, my Lord, that I wish to inform you. Lordships of it. The LearnedJu:lge who witnessed the scene cannot, I am sure, have forgotten it; and his memory will justify the terms which lam applying to it. Your Lordships will observe, that the infamous slanders which (arm the goosed of thotresent proceeding were delivered by the defendant !COO a pulpit of the Church of Eng land; Sat( that they were uttered by hiniin his voca don as a Minister of the Gospel. Your Lordships will further be pleased to consider that this is not the first time that the defendant has been convicted of libel. • Mr. Justice BasT.—You have no affidavit of that fact. Mr. Brougham ? Mr. Bnouonaw confessed that he had not. He ap prehended, however, that the former sentence was upon the files of the Court; and, that the Richard Blacow then convicted was the Richard Blacow now before the Court, he had an affidavit. Mr. Justice BEST.—That affidavit should have been read before the observation was made ; because the defendant would then have had an opportunity of ob serving upon it. Mr. limn:coax had no objection still to give the defendant that opportunity. The LoRD CHtEP JUSTICE said that, in point of re-. gularity, Mr. Brougham should have read his affidavit before he commenced his address to the Court. Was it worth while now to press it ? Mr. BROUGHAM would not press it. The Court (the Learned Gentleman continued) knew the nature of the libel, the character of the person who had pub lished it, the occasion upon which it had been pro nounced, and the class of persons before whom it had been uttered. The defendant was one of a number of persons like him, who bad entered into a conspiracy for the propagation of slander; and be differed only from many of those persons as having, with an equal degree of malignity, a somewhat smaller share of pru dence. The defendant (lid not deny the publication of the libel: he had, through the whole transaction, courted the notoriety that belonged to it ; and he now proudly courted the fate which awaited him. Mr. Brougham concluded by leaving the defendant in the hands of the Court. Their Lordships knew the par ties concerned, and they knew the nature of the slan der promulgated ; and further observation from him (fir. Brougham) becanfe wholly unnecessary. Their Lordships conferred for a short time; after which Mr. Justice BATLEY, in the following terms, pro nounced the sentence of the Court : — Richard Blacow, it is my misfortune that I have to pass upon you, a Clergyman of the Church. of Englitaid, the sentence of this Court for a libel printed and published as the substance of a sermon preached by you in one of the chapels of this kingdom. I believe it to be very rare that so sacred a place is perverted to any such pur pose ; and persons who do attend at church'unght not to mix up with their feelings ot devotion observations ' upon the living characters of the day... We have all of us sufficient faults of our own ;ail we hare no need to go farther than- to correct nnrselve.4.

We have received various codsmoniestions from Cal cutta by the Morely. From the letter of one of our Correspondents we copy the following paragraphs:— " India is in a singular state. There is universal peace and tranquillity from Ceylon taNepal, amongst a population of above a hundred millions of people. This is a state of things not only new in oar Indian annals, but unknown to all other periods of the History of Hindostan, and' could not, indeed have been brought abOut but by the great means by which it wee effected ; the civilisation if t powerful people. directed by the energy. wisdom', and moderation of as able leader. India is certainly at present enjoying, under the pa pular Administration of the Marquette of Hastings, a degree of freedom, liberal governmeOt, and prosperity, l to which it bad heretofore been a stranger; one mighty advantage gained by this will be the difficulty it will oppose to any future attempts to govern on different' principles. One of the powerfal engines of good goveri ment, to which Lord Hastings has bad recourse, has; been a free press. This has now been at work for three years. and vast have been the beoeftts derived from it.—Public questions. Indian Ind European, are now discussed with spirit and intelligence. One Whig newspaper (the Calcutta Auras° sells a thousand papers a day, including Sunday. although it consists of twelve pages, and costs a shilling'. The Proprietor and Editor, a man of enterprise, of talent. and liberal opinions, I am happy to tell you, is linking an honest fortune by it. The most violent Tory Papers sell only three hundred and fifty papers a day. althqugla the cost be only one half of that of its rival. The Gorerunieut Gazette., a weekly paper, sells six hundred papers, of which three hundred are distributed gratis to the Officers of Government. The Indian Ga:ette, a, weekly .paper. on Whig principles. makes a real sele of semi buldred papers. From these speci mens, you may jedge of the state of public *Dies, which does not differ much from what it is among voursehes. " Calcutta is a place of prodigious extent and popu lation ; by a census made two years ago, it was found to contain nine hundred thousand inhabitants, and it is rapidly increasing, as plainly indicated by the great improvements taking place, the numerous buildings going forward, and the high reward of labour, which makes the natives of the distant provinces crowd to it. The great start in improvement dates, as might he expected, from the admission of the free trade. This portion of India, at least, in spite of the ob stacles which a perverse policy, hostile to freedom and the rights of humanity, have hitherto opposed to it, begins, at last, happily, to assume the appearance of a British Colony, and the heneti. ial consequences are obvious. • • • • .1 spirit of activity and inquiry is abroad. The natives' begin to assimilate with us, to acquire our manners, to learn our language, and even to breathe some por tion of the spirit to which we owe every branch *f our national prosperity. A Bramin, a man of rank and fortune, and the author of some ingenious works, who speaks and writes our language with elegance, advo cates the cause of religious toleration and civil liberty, speaks in favour of the Revolutions of Spain, Portu gal, and Naples, and lately gave a dinner to a party of Liberales, in honour of the first." PILCHARD FISHERY. ST. Ives, Nov. 9.o.—As 1 kpow that any informa tion relative to the success of our fisheries will be ac• ceptable, 1 have now the pleasure to advise you, that the boats to the number of eighty, engaged on the herring fishery in oar bay, came in this morning, lite rally laden with the finest and fattest pilchards you ever saw. They brought us on shore from 10 to 50,000 per boat ; in all about SOO hogsheads, the like was never seen here before with drift-boats, and they sold at 20s. per gurry, containing about 1000 fish. What is worthy of remark is, that yesterday morning they had a fine catch of berrior, without any pilchards. and this morning. pilchards without any (or a very few) herrings. It is the general belief, that they fell in with a body of pilchards, which we call northern coasters, whir.h thirty or forty, or more years back, was common at this season, on oar coast. A master of a vessel told me this morning, that be fell in yester day, off Dude, with shoals of fish, of several miks in extent ; had our scans been St sea, and hewers on the hills •yesterday, 1 have no doubt but the town would have been full of fish, as the greatest quantity of- fish, taken by the boats, was early in the sight, and very near the shore. PADSTOW, Nov. 21.---Large quantities of very fine pilchards have been taken this week, by the driving boats here, and at Port-lseac, and the fishermen state, and they were in very large shoals. Some years since, a similar circumstance occurred, and the following season, all the scans on the north coast, took as much fish as they could cure io their cellars, we tberef?re anticipate the same uext year. . hictutcr's BAT.—Several shoals - of pilchards have made,theirappearance is this Bay during the retest week.

KUWAIT AND °TIMM . This wat an action of assault arising out of the transactions it Manchester en the famous 16th of August, 1819. The action was originally -brought in Middlesex ; bit a rule was obtained for changing the yenta to Lancashire,upon the ground that the cease of action bad accrued in that county. . . Mr. BLACKBURN now moved for a rule to show cause why the former rale should not Ito sat anido p . and the velure returned to the original county., The learned counsel moved upon the following atfidavit:-rore . " Richard William Hayward, of Took's-onset, Cura• sitor-street, in the County of Middlesex, attorney for the plaintiff in this cause, maketb oath and.saitit, that this action is brought by the plaintiff to recover a sa tisfaction in damages against the defendants fir violent assault made by them on the plaintiff, on the lith day of August 1819, at Manchester, when the plaintiff and many other persons were, as deponent is Wormed and verily believes, peaceably assembled in pitrsuance of a public advertisement to consider of the best means of bringing about a Reform in Parliament ; and this deponent further saitb, that he bath been h formed and verily believes, that the said meeting was conducted in the most peaceable and orderly manner antil the Manchester Yeomanry cavalry, commantiel by the defendant Burley, and of which corps ail :be ether defendants were members, and were on that oc casion present, without any provocation attacked the ineetin; with drawn swords, and severely wounded se veral persons, and amongst others the said ; and this deponent further said), that lie bath also heel informed, and verily believa . , that s very great and general prejudice exists throughout the county . or L tn. c.tster amongst the persons who are Eltely to serve upon jnrics as to the nature and object of the meet ing in question ; and this leponent further aside that be bath heard and verily believes that several persons who were so wounded on the said 16th of August, 1819, preferred bills of indictment at the Assizes for the said county of Lancaster against the per*olls who had so wounded them, but that the Grand•Jurv, upon being iaformed that such transactions occurred at the meeting so held on the said 16th day of.Angust as aforesaid, ignored the said bilis; and this deponent lastly saith that be verily believes an indifferent yr impartial jury for trying this cause cannot he had within the said county of Lancaster." In the case of " Bennett v. Berkely," (Cooper's Report's) a similar application to the Court bad been successful. --- The Court granted a rule to show cause. L i w z .., Nov. 26.—One of the most . respectable South flows farmers of this neighbourbodd recently sold his wool from four hundred lambs, and on the same day purchased a new hat, for which he actually paid sea Ai/haws more than he obtained for the wont of the 40 lambs, which shows the great disparity of price between the raw and manufactured material, as we understand lambs' wool is used in the manufacture of hats. • Last Friday night the Excise officer of this tow., seized on the (Wham-road, 'sear the Nursery, • a cart laden with nine casks of contraband spirits, and a • horse, which the Officers were obliged to shoot dead. to stop the progress of the smugglers who were in the cart, but who escaped after their horse - fell. The fatal ball entered the side of the pour animal, passed throng!' his lungs, and lodged against the ribs on the . opposite side. The spirits were conveyed - to the Excise office in this town. Last Tuesday, a jobbing gardener, at the Six Bells at Nerthiam, engaged to eat a gait'', of bulled potatoes, and drink live quarts of strorg beer, or pay double fur them, in three-quarters of an hour, which he per formed within the given time, and apparently without feeling any .ill effects from his gluttony. •-• A FAT CURIOStrv.—A three.year old welter sheep, bought with others from the Bock of Mr Sense, of the Broil-place Farm, by Mr. Morris, of this I mre, was a few days since slaughtered by 'Uri Verrall; • butcher, of Brighton, who on opening tire animal:- was astonished at the bulk and solitlity4uf the fat . which enclosed the right kidney. It halters skies • measured and weighed. its dimensions are. round the middle part two feet ten inches'; loogitedisally, three feet four inches; weight, twenty-one pounds. It was wonderful to think how the animal could have existed tinder such a 'burden, an instance, we may err. tare to ttay, 'never 'before heard of. The weight of the sheep as they usually go to the scale, was ten stove three pounds. This very singular and estrainklina , accumulation of fat, may still be seen in its pare *tare, at Mr. Verrall'r, tallow-chandler, of this town. 'I he • kidney-fat of a•sheep in cotnnt.m, we-believe, does nut often exceed the weight of six runes., • • • ELROANT GLAII.PRY, FURNITURE, &c.—The nobility and gantry are invited to inspect the .Ware-rooms of Comeau and SoN, 93, Ilishipsgate-street within, where' is exhibited an assortment of new and second-hand Plate Glasses, admirably euited to every' deseriptiiin• of d ' ing or dininpromns. • In the furniture ditartusent comprised every new and elegant articit cabinet, and chair work, the ekes of wHiPk a i retlueet: i i pseab aileala tdeve.oatt-aa4o iittrittbitulhuisenie the patronege of rank and fashion t
