LONDON: TVZIDAT, DECILIMER 14, 1.:19. —row- The Illesphemous and libellous Bill did not come eel last Igikt es Vets expected, cad we trust that .'when it desett will be discussed in a manner to allow it to be viewed and reflected on, without 60110 digesting ideas which now irresistibly force • thsamelves upon the mind. in the first place, there is one dense in the Bill which revives the pieties of Genera Warrants ; for it authorises, after conviction, any constable or other peace officer, under an order of Court, to search for any copies of a libel, not only In the house of a person so cony ict- XioNt she inibe house of eny person, in whose any copies of such libel might be &tw- Oills', to be bead. This clause of itself lt be a mums foe stilling the whole measure 'THE StATESAIAN. with public odium, and if that were not suflicient, the annexing the penalty of traaaportation to a second offence might justly be expected to load it with the execration of exory pntlematt or man of delicacy. W hat, put the writers of paragraphs which might bring the government of - weak or wicked Ministers into contempt, uron the footing of cue purses anti receivers of stolen goods ! Have men hying well educated and taught to reason upon their feelings to be so served ? Dare our legislators attempt to work in th:s manner upon British ma terials Mr. lloattouse's manly conduct saved Master Ctlt'RTI\AY (he is a Master in Chancery) much trouble in the way of expatiation and impugnation, by confessing himself the writer of the offensive pamphlet. As the imprisonment can only continuo •c. mite curia, the friends of Mr. Howtousz, pod those who view the conduct of the Members of the Home of Commons in the tight that arm and un daunted Reformer does, will be sorry• its Session is not nearly closed. It is impossible not to feel a portion of ample cency of mind at the Amendment which was made last night to the Traver** Bill, by the Loan CHANCELLOR. It is proposed that, after an inlbr station shall have been Bled twelve months, if the ATTORNEY-GENERAL shall not proceed to trial ; the prosecuting party after twenty days' notice to the latter, may move the Court in order to bring on the trial, and if the Law °Meer of the Crown shall nct show good cause of postponement, and shall abandon the suit altogether, the defendant shall hare hir coats. This latter condition of the I proceeding :s as good as it is new. A Meeting of Merchants wits held on Saturday in tho City, on the subject ors loan to the Veneitue lean Government, when, we understand a large sum was sot-scribed. The Plcliamentary friends of the Catholic Claims have written to Ireland, recommending a post ponernent of the discinsion of the queation•tillaext Session. Vizsma, Nov. 17.—The Plenipotentiaries of Wt. German Cabinets will hold their Conferences ones a week from eleven in the morning till two or three in the afternoon. Barons de Plcssen and filainlein, M. de Kusw, and the .lulic Coneillor Gentz, keep the journals. A marriage is talked of between the Archduke Ferdinand of Austria, and a Prinume of Bavaria. The French journals are •ery barren of import ant intelligence. and their edit..irs seek to give their render. :1 pun on Cotirtature, to entertain theta when that is the ease.

The majority which ordered Mr. Hohhouse into the custody of the Berjeant at Arms, to be theme transferred to the Keeper of ?senate, was 198 toes. It is •aid by many that the RAptc*Le are to be blamed for the WHICS having done so little in the c►usc of Reform: the Whigs on their part defend themselves by saying that they are ready to exert themselve; iii this hour of pe:A, by building new buttresses to the temple of liberty, but that the in temperane.• end rage of the radicals will blow the whole up with gunpowder!! We are sorry these ideas prevail among persons who cannot be indif ferent to the fate of their tir.',appy and abused country. Let the Whigs begin the work then in earnest, for nothiug will be more likely to allay that rage which these roasoners anticipate and de precate. A prisate letter from Frankfort says, it is ex tremely doubtful whether Bavaria will send Minis ters to the Congress to oppose the Resolutions adopted at Carlsbad, being contrary to the Bava rian Constitution. The Quolidienne says—" It was remarked, that only one Deputy rose to support the admission of the virtuous M. GIULDOIRE in the Chamber of De puties; happily for our national honour, this De puty was not a Frenchman." BRUSSELS, Deo.

The Sponsors were the Prince 11...'rent of Great Britain and the Earl of Westmorland. the father of Lord Burghersh ; the former of whom was reps: sewed by the Earl of Mansfield. and the latter by Lord Templetown. Lady Barnard represented the Countess of tons dale as Godmother. The ceremony was performed by the Rev. Dr. Trevor. Their Serene Highnesses I the Duke and Duchets of Wirtemberg were pre sent, and a select party of both English and native Nobil;ty, who were afterwards entertained with a magnificent ball and festival. Great expectations are entertained of Mrs. PAYNE, who makes her entree before a London audience at Thury-lane Theatre on Thursday next, in the cha racter of Ltkiy Teazle. According to The Alf ola Mercury, new disco veries have been made with respect to the conduct of Professor Jahn.

The are was soon extinguished, but the loss is estimated at 10 or 14,000 francs. Our readers will recollect that it has been stated in several public prints that a Guinea of Edward IV. was lately found amidst some rains at Grove, near Pembroke, and is now in possession of the Rev. T. Owen, of Pembroke. The Guinea did not exist until the reign of Charles 11. and then took its name from that particular part of Africa cal!M the Guinea Coed, from whence the gold was im ported into England by the African Company, and sent by them to the Tower, to he coined into what was afterwards named the Guinea. The fold coins of the reign of Edward IV. were the Noble, and the Angel, with their fractional parts. DWI ea Thursday evening, at Newpari, near this city, lßlbn, with of the Right Hon.

The Barony of Dunmore (County Galway) met on Monday, to adopt such nsealittreit as may be ne cessary for its tranquillity.
