Imes grounds for his motion were these. a the original sentence on Mr. MUNT was ;e:oad, that it had, by the conduct of those the carrying of it into execution, been render severe than the Judges Weeded. Third, Hrxr was entitled to the consideration of the I eve•egmence of hi* bringiog to light the adu prison. The third reason we think ia feeble sort of a thing to be brought forward trtolsoch a motion. It is setting up services of emirs to mitigation of punishmeot ; it is 1 these services op as a sort of atonement ; and, tot being at liberty five months 'owner was h loch a compromise. The second ground is I indeed; fur we do not believe. that F. Hues or any man is this kingdom has the ilea that U,. Amer has suffered more than the Weeded that he should surer. What Mr. laid as to this point was perfectly unanswer- Is sent as affidavit to the Court ; and the an. dirt:Sort was, to make him pay the cost of the 'D. We dislike exceedingly this ground; it tends to take entirely away till ground of et OS the part of Mr. HUNT; and we think we Ire to say, that he will never pretend to believe his suffered more than it was intended he seer by those who sent him to the jail of for two years and a half. If the motion were %gilt forward at all, the first ground, that is tit wet ity of Me sentence, was the only ground. ' wily ground of complaint on the part of Mr. ; Ist the only ground for a motion such as that allith Sir FRANCIS llottozTv concluded.—Mr. Nelto followed Sir FRANCIS, fell foul, as the ullitof al rs.VlNca ; and imputed all the ill treat etather.ia his view of the matter. the complaint of fir, to the circumstance of that lolly having rft ladell. Perhaps this might be the origin of them „ eft munimes that small feel the is. cuireuimsee of AM. There ere asst la the woad. who set °sly livq with other wire's wives while thsty owe wives are alive t but who hunt their ewe Af:11, like wild beasts at the same time; sod yet. to the ceaduct of such seen. to martate the simple .ihelis of their conduct, is deemed triunes'. sett there areal* wanting pious penous to deem it blasplieloy also. WW I do net think. however, that this part Mr. Dawsee 4 o speech was very seemesfully rebutted by either Sir 14 BURNITT or Mr. H0111101:111.

Fee May thing that be knew to the contrary. the cooneetiee might have bees of a smart perfectly platosic.

Did Sir Fa Arnie disapprove of that istrodieetiou of Mew Wieca's same, whet' it was avowedly at the time, sal since proved on oath, introduced for the express par.: pose of serving him in his election I did he disape prove of it? It was In silence, if he did; fur, he not oily put open the white charger to ride before , him the man who had read the letter at the hustings Om% when Mr. Huey himself afterwards reproulted reader of that letter at a meeting at the Crown mil Author, Sir Fitaxels defended the reproached party!' Upon this subject, therefore, be should have bees silent now ; for, though we think that of Mr. DAVI. owes conduct which we dare not say, and which ce n t are sure is unnecessary to say; still, no mu can defy that be bad better reason for introducing the name here. than the creatures of Sir FRANCIS had for la inducing it at the hustings. As to what Mr. Haw ser said about Mr. Hcwr's being the foonder of a new school of rebels and blasphemers; sod as to his sodas about the country baring been tranquillised by the imprisonment of Mr. HUNT ; them only show how little he knows of the matter; sad how incor rectly he reasons. too, unless he senores that Mr. HUNT is never to COMO oat of the jail shut for, can he imagine that the school will be lessened is its saunters. or balm its toe diminished by do reel jetties of the motion of Sir Faswets ?-31r. FeEL's testi. • speech calculated to give as no very high opinion of the figure be is destined to make is the wo rid It was violent ; it was hot ; it was heavy. There was no ingenuity; no point. The Right Honourable Secretary seems to have excited a laugh ; that to have excited his anger; mid that anger to bare excited an other laugh. Ills talk about the peace of the coun try; about allegiance ; about due subordination; about sapping the constitution ; about infamous de sign; about swindling them out of their privileges, was wholly oat of place. It comes at a time when the taste for it is entirely gone. The minds that sub matter used to imprint itself apes are totally changed; and be will see, if he live till Mr. HUNT comes out of that prison, that be knows, at this moment, much less about England than any Secretary of State ought to know about even a foreign country. As to the leer ; as to the usages of Parliament ; as to the distinction set ap between this case and that of old Lona, it may do very well for talk; it may do very well in the way of speech ; bat, is there any map in England who don not see the true tenon for knishes' Mr. HUNT in jail, and also the tree reason for letting Loess out of jail ? is there any man incapable of estimating the conduct of the two ? De we not all know what Lem had done? Do we not all know that be bad been guilty of bribery and corruption with regard to seats 'in Parliament ; and do we not all know that Mr. HUNT'S offence consisted io being the Chairman of a meeting held for the purpose of producing such a Re form as should put an end to bribery and corruption with regard to seats is Parliament ? is there a mau l of as who is ignorant of any part of this ? And, not being ignorant of this, what care any of us for the quibbling distinctions between the grounds of appli cation to the KING fur release P—We shall °seclude oar remarks os this subject for the present, with observing on the care which the sup porters of the motion took to disdains Mr. HUNT personally, and also to disclaim his political principles. Mr. How:oust observed that he "had no reason to re " gard Mr. HUNT with personal favour,and considered " him merely in his public conduct in the investigation " of abuses ;" that is. he considered him as a Reformer of jails and not as a reformer of the House. Mr. BUXTON would not consider the question." with refer " cue to the character of Mr. HUNT." Sir J. al AUXIN. TOSH. who laid most manfully on epos the Secretary of State, went, however, still farther than the reel in his disclaimer of the principles of Mr. HUNT, and of Mr. Hoax himself. He allowed him, indeed, to be an Euirlishnsaa (and that, Sir Jamas. is somethiag); bat, he said. that be disapproved of his politics; and he did not arraign the verdict of the Jury, nor dispose the sentence of the Judge ; taking occasion to add, in another part of his speech, that the Judges were" the , biog. new, as . es our observation ram. rakes Its appose ace, is the mows of orameinal perms', without those demeratnideats. wide, apes the pereustwest. altis, Sir Janes Might doem' k ledetterras to es 4o 'Opocribe.

We really should not be surprised if there were some men capable of supposing that the eireamstaoce of Mr. Ilintr's entering Lon deepest at this time. would scaly make an addition to the thickens of the mess.

Mr. Dowses. and an those and the like of all those that have opposed this motion for the release of Mr. Hum:. We think it right not to quit the subject without observing that Sir FRANCIS Bus- Derr performed his task with great ability ; toque tionably from good motives; sad that his only error emulated is not taking the strong ground of ity of sentence of which every thing subsequent was the natural consequence.

Can it be deemed legal, would any this; be worthy of the mime of /ow. would the thing gamin it be worthy of the name of Uroveraneest, if it left the tithe-owner to enjoy a clear surplus, while it left not a farthing of profit to the farmer and sot a farthing of rent to tie landlord? Oh, no! Such glaring injustice cannot be suffered to go on. is sag part of the country long.

It is, however, wholly neneemwary to detain the reader by farther preface on a case so obviously important, and so very well calculated to give onr spiritual guides something to occupy their minds other than the duties of Magistrates and the guardian. ship of game-covers and of jails.

These Reverend persons, who were always foremost in urging on the U went to sear, and who hare not, as yet. borne any part of the burthen created by the war, will now find what the effects of war really are ; and, the good of it is, too, that it is with the landlords, seal not with the Jacobins, that they have now to contend ! The only thing that can, generally speaking, prescrre say of the rent, even another year, is the taking of the tithes to keep the poor with. So that it is no matter to the mass Vela people. Rent mast go. or tithe must go, at once; and both by-and-by.—Now for THE CASE. At the last Norfolk Qaarter Sessions, held at Norwich, ss Wednesday the 17th day of April instant, the Court ease to a aunt Important deeisloo on the Poor Laws, oS an appall by the Rev. Dr. Butwzn, rector of Csvisvos, against the Poor Rates for that parish. The Doctor bad hem rated at &KC for his tithes, against which . Isiappesled the veva& Met &exceeded effused of theloietmeammat open the titheaele property in the Parisi which he MB tended was the properties at which tithes should be assessed to the Poor-rate. The Court dismissed the Appeal, being unatsfmonery of opinion, that there was no rule In law for fixing a proportional Assessment oa Tithes corepareJ with Land, and that the only principle, was to assess all real pro perty according to the produefire raise or PROFIT which it yielded. This determination is important, as it recog nizes a principle, the general application of which, at the present time, will necessarily be attended with the most se rious results both to the farmer and the CLR2GT ; upon the latter of whom the chief burthen of supporting the poor will now, as in former times, be thrown. According to tills principle, it is evident, that, at present prices, the Assess- Leant upon Land, ought to be merely nominal, aid that TITHES 11i1011id be assessed at their fell amount, it being no torious that no profit whatever is now afforded from Laud in general, and that, that which the landlord receives in the name of rent, is in fact a payment out of the farmer's capital, while surnas being taken clear of Taxes and all other ex peaces attending the raising if the crop, are nearly ALL prO. fit. This decision has, we understand, excited a great sea satioa in Norfolk, and the farmers, in many places, have al ready insisted upon a reduction of their Assessroeuts, and , upon rating the parsons to the full amount of their Tithes as • well where they are compounded for as when taken in Clad. Let the farmers generally adopt this plan, and they will net ' only obtain immediate and considerable relief, but, in a few months, they will see the Clergy as clamorous for re form as the most deviled Radical ; for nothing short of re form (any alteration in the law being wholly oat of e question) COI now prevent the tithes from being wholly swallowed up in Poor rates. The above principle was ac knowledged in its full extent a short time sioee in the Court of King's Bench, Mr. Justice Ilolroyd having expressly de clared, that a rate on Land lain effect a rate on the profits of Land, for where there are no profits there is no beneficial orcupatioa, vide 4 vol.
