Learned Judge had adopted is the case of DAVISON, where he punished the improprieties of the Defend ant's language and conduct by severe and repeated fines. A fine may punish the offender, but it cannot correct the aflame or preserve society from the evil of its contamination. This evil was perpetrated in the act of speaking, and the words could never he I retracted. But it is not surely to be endured in any society that a person charged with a serious offence against its best interests should take advan tage of the hour of trial, and make the Court of Justice a theatre for repeating the very offence im puted, with every circumstance of aggravation and insult. If such a proceeding were permitted, the prosecution of an offender would be fraught with so much danger, that no government could ever think of instituting a criminatory proceeding. There is a respect due to the public religion of the country and to the laws under which we live that cannot safely be violated. The truth or expe diency of either may undoubtedly be questioned, but not with insolent ribaldry or indecent invec tive, and it' any place ought to be held especially sacred from such intrusion, the place most entitled to such an exemption is a Court of Justice. Nor does the prevention of such indecency check the fur means of an honest defence. Intemperanee is always u bad advocate, and it is merciful to pro tect a defendant from its pernicious counsel. It is, however, but to obvious, that the defence in this case was written, not in the hope of conciliating the Jury and the Bench, but for the purpose of giving utterance with safety to sentiments and lan guage which the writer well knew would never be tolerated if they were to reach the public by the ordinary medium of the press. It will be seen in our law report, that the rule for a new trial was refused, the Defendant will there fore, probably, be soon brought+ tip for judgment. This is the third victim whom RICHARD CARLILE has already sacrificed iii his fruitless tier against the power of the law. It was iptituated by CAR , 1.11. R, soon after his conviction, that his imprison ment should not prevent the continued sale in his shop of those very works which were already de clared by the verdict of a Jury most injurious to the moral being of society, for that he should pro cure agents to serve in his shop, and thut the supply should, in rapid succession, keep pace with such convictions as may chance to be obtained against ' them. The promise his been hitherto fulfilled, even though the wife of the unfortunate man has been already sacrificed to the accomplishment of his purpose. The sister now follows, and if he has any inure kindred, his influence will probably induce some of them to succeed his sister ; but lie ought to perceive that his resolution can have no other effect than to heap sufferings upon the heads of those whom he ought to hold eleiirest, and that although the public may feel pity for such victims as his wife and sister, who are led to the commis. sion of the offence by affection fur a Nesbitt(' or a brother, no respect can be entertained for the man who is cruel enough to sacrifice their re spectability and happiness to the indulgence of an idle and reprehensible spirit of opposition to the laws of his country. A Court of Aldermen was held yesterday at Guildhall, to consider of an Address of Congra tulation to his MAJE'TY on his arrival in his British dominions, at which the Lord Mayor, thirteen Aldermen, Sheriff, and City Officers, were present, wl.en an Address was unanimously agreed to, and the Sheriffs, attended by the Itemembrancer, di rected to wait on his MAJESTY, to know his royal will and pleasure when the Court should attend with the same—(See advertisement in our first page).— The Court requester! the Lord Mayor to call an early Court to express their acknowledgments of the services of the late .

Many persons complain of the in fluence of the Austtians at. Naples. To tl►.t influence several of the rigorous measures which have been successively adopted are ascribed ; however arrests are not more numerous than pre viously. There has not been as yet any proposition for the reduction of the Austrian troops ; on the contrary, there has been sonic talk of their increase. 'flue same measures adopted in Italian Austria, and the Frionl, against all persons desirous of embarking for Greece, are now pursued in the kingdom of Naples and in Sicily. An absolute prohibition is also expected against any communi cation with the islands of the Archipelago, the Mores, or Epirus. VIENNA, OCTOBER :28. The day before yesterday an important piece of intelligence was circulated with the greatest rapi dity at Vienna. It was said the Porte had declared war nith Russia. This news mad• not be authentic, but it is not impossible. Such u declaration of war would be, for the Russian Administration, the best means of concluding the negociations. Russia would then be obliged to defend herself. Great activity'revails amongst our diplomatists ; the arrival and departure of couriers are incessant; hut nothing positive is known ; and the rumours in circulation do not appear to deserve any credit. LEGHORN,. OCTOBIia 26. Some remains of Ypsilanti's corps, forming a strange mixture of Albanians, Greeks, and Wel lachians, embarked here lately for the Morea. It was necessary to have an et , cort of our garrison, the greater part refusing to go on board. Several vessels from the Levant bring accounts by no means fa►ourable to the Greeks ; a strong Ottoman army is said to have entered the More*; the dissolution of the Greek fleet is also talked of, each vessel having returned to its respective port. The Pacha of Egypt protects the peaceable Greeks in his province: he is fitting out another squadron. There is no later intelligence from Ireland in town this day than that which we published yes terday. We regret to find from a private letter which we received this day, that a spirit of resistance to the parting exhortation of the KING has mini.; fested itself in a quarter where we would expect more liberality. At the late Assizes of Wexford' the foreman of the Grand Jury, the son of a Ca tholic, gave the obnoxious toast, for the giving of which Alderman WILLEY received such unpiked and merited censure. The company were but few at the time, but they were unanimous, and drank the toast with all due enthusiasm.

( For remainder of Gazelle see last page.) THE BRITISH PRESS. LON DON, WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER 14, 1821. The Court of King's Bench was moved yester day upon behalf of MARY Amts CAaLILE, of Fleet street, fora new trial in her case, upon the ground that her defence was lairs:petty interrupted by Mr, Justice BEST at the trial. This unfortunate young woman, it will be remembered, was convicted st the sittings after last Term in Guildhall, fur pub lishitig a blasphemous libel, entitled " Its Appen dix to the Theological Works of Thomas Paine." On that occasion she tendered to the Court a paper. writing, by way of defence, which was read in part by the Officer of the Court, but as it proceeded it was found to contain passages so offensive to the re ligion, laws, and nistiiiitions of the country, that it was impossible for :toy Judge to suffer them to pass without reprehension. Mr. Justice BEST ac cordingly censured them strongly, and when at length the Officer in reading the paper arrived at a passage which called " the common law" a " com mon abate," hr advised her to retire from the Court with some friend, and to expunge such offensive expre,sions as those which he had already condemn ed, and which, as the Jury had already told her, must do her more of injury than of service. This advice was good, but it mss counteracted by that of some mischievous officious friend, who persuaded her to persist in urging to the Court the defence as it was written. The Defendant accordingly, on her return to the Court, handed a paper to the Judge, in which she apprised him that her defence was such as she had already offered, and if an English woman were not suffered to urge in her defence such topics as she conceived to be proper, she must take the consequences of his judgment. The re mainder of the defence, therefore, was not read, the Judge addressed the Jury, and the Defendant was found guilty. It is a pitiable thing to see a young woman thus forced upon public attention by istrsons who, in stead of shielding her from the calamity (as it would be considered if it arose horn necessity) of braving the laws of her country, push her from her proper sphere and station in society solely for.V*4ilieth lion of their own selfi.h interest, and pa :ie. It is melancholy to see her placed l)y such arts in a state of accusation for the wilful publication of a blasphemous work ; it is still more melancholy and more distressing to see such a person allowing the occasion of her trial to be perverted into an oppor tunity of offering increased insults to the religion and laws which had been already so highly offended, but it would be calamitous indeed if the public ear were not to be protected against the pernicious con sequeoces of such a trick by the judicious firmness of the presiding Judge. With respect therefore to the conduct of Mr. Justice BERT in this particular, we must confess that we cannot imagine how a Judge in England could have acted otherwise, consistently with the protec tion which he is bound by o the duties of his high office to extend to the religion and the law of the country. Could he be justified in listening with silence to coarse invectives against the truth of the Christian religion, and to insults indecently offer ed to the very system of law under which be wasthen sitting The mcde he pursued was, in oar opinion,
