A Clergyman oe the Church of Eisg land, of unimpeached loyally a n d highly merito rious character, who, we believe, has not t h e good fortune to bask wider tlw sunshine of church ire ferment—the Rev.

Several respectable inhabitants of Clielons ford having sigiiilied their wish, thst hr should deliver a course of lectures in this town on "The Philos°. phy of History," he applied fir a license to a Special Petty Sessions held lust week, ni enable him an to do. 'There were then ten Slagistrattes present, and the matter being fully debated, the application was re fused by a majority of eight tot Imo Justices, upon a supposition that the lecturer moght possibly have some sinister or political iatsiition, under the pre tence of delivering literary and philosophical lec tures, Some of the majority, linos ever, acted upon a totally dilf-rent ground, namely, that tow upon cation was not rorans j•gilire, inasmuch as the Act of Parliament required that the house should be Krooted either by a Special Petty Sept . s too i.e held for that specific purpose, or by the Justices of the county assembled 1:1 General Quarter Sew situ,. Mr. Bloomfield now resumed his application by his Comely', Mr. Ws I.FORD, who, after for;w.r.iiig the provi sions of the Act of Pooliaineur udder the nonce of the Court, which lie said reoldered this application necessary, sulnnittrd that the prayer of XI r. Bloom field was one which the M igistristes count have no difficulty in granting. The intention of the Reverend bovine was to deliver six Lectures upon the Philosophy of History. Ilia first lct ore pro posed to teat of ilistore in general; the second, of Man, in sus savage and pastoral state ; the third, of War, and its importance to the history of 111611; the fourth, of the Dirk Ages, and the N.orthern Barbarians; the firth, of itelogi tttt , and it. im portance to the welfare of inankonit, Ike.

WA LFORD then proceeded to adduce nume rous testimonies in favour of Nlr. racier, and the nature of his lectures. Ainnhost these were, threw of Lord Gosforil, several Iwisiticed Clergymen, Mr. Clay, the Mayor of Colchester, somata! Muglstrates, and a great many respectable inhabitants of the c .oily of Essex, all of whimi Iwd hetus auditors of Mr. Bloomfield's lectures, and bore testimony to tl.rir ocerice, and to the . i ... - peachable character of the lecturer. Sir JOHN TYRRELL now robe, and express 11 his sorrow fir troubling the Court with stating the grounds tit which he ititettilt tl to resist this ap. plication. Ile was induced iniiicipally to rise ut consepience of what taok place a t th e I'rtty Se 4. Silolii., 111 Which Mr. Bloomfield had tie t pr.-wilted has applit•atiouy Ills blurb occasion a difference of ()pilaw' had aria. sl between the Mi - gistrates. Of Mr. Bloomfield he knew nothing ; lie might be a respectable man ; hut as a Magistrate he (Sir J.) thought it his duly to consider well the nature of the Lectures which the Lecturer proposed to de ' liver. It was true that Lord Gosfoid had borne testimony to the propriety of the Lectures which Mr. Bloomfield hail delivered : hut it di.l not fal low that the Lectures which were delivered before that Noble Lord, were of the same complexion as those slow stated hi the Lecturer's syllabus. Ile had not the slightest prejudice of a personal nature against Mr. Bloomfield, but lie bail certainly a strong prejudice against this sort of itioerant Lecturer., who went about the country disse minating priociples which ought or might not be objectionable. Ile might posiiisly differ on this subject from many grave Luiv)ers and re spectable private individuals, who might think that there was no harm in giving countenance to such persons ; and he might lie toll, perhaps, that the Act or Parliament under consideration was, to a certain extent, an arbitrary abridgment of the liberties of Englishmen. Be it su; but lie for one thought the Legislature had done wisely in [hissing that Act, at the time and under the circum stances in w latch it was found necessary so to do. A re siwchible tradesman in the Wall (Mr. Candler, we beleete), bad put a paper into his hand, purport ing to be a syllabus of Mr. Illoomfield's Lectures, and requesting that he (i he Ilon. Ibuont I) would steroid the wish of that gentleman to olitaiii a license to deliver than iii the town of Chelms ford. He told that respectable individual, that as the request had been wade to lima. he errtaiiilj should make the applicanmi to the Justices la Petty Sessions, hut at the since time lie &dated has oi .... ion to he, that philosophy was al es , made the pretest for isiculcatisig stoning. titgisl) dangerous to the peace of the count' iiiii ty ; and add. d, that he certainly could not aid the a Woes of Mi. Bloom field, if such was the object and tentitlicy ul In. tures. Ile had since read the paper which had lweii handed to liitn, and, in his humblepulgnient, a.ch a man, as a public, lecturer, professed to discourse upon the subject of politics, and the uses to which giatipowiler might be applied (matters upon which public opinion was so intich thvide4l), he was di11p..4.A p..4.A to think there was more meant than met the ryo, and 'list, tPulor cover or philosophy, revolu !musty Politics might become the preilommatit Cobjorts of inculcation. l'olitit•al inquiries mid 1 1 1.9'11.. * a . as to the cause and effects or rev°. lotions in states, were Mlllter4 which had better be I. t alone its times like these. alien provimons were dear, and alien the tuldie orlon was too sus ceptible of irritation. Ile might be wrong in his Opinion Lbut such was the strong impression of his mind. When this ',object was brought forward be fore the Petty Sessions, it underwent the examina tion or a very unoterous attendance of Magis trates, and Mr. Bloomfield's application was refused by a large nrijority of gentlemen. many of whom were of opinion with himself, that the town of (71telansford did not stand in nerd of deriving any i!iformation from this sort o f persons. The majo. illy of the Magistrates. nu this ground, thought it right to resist the application, leaving Mr. Bloom field to apply to this Court if be thought proper, and take the sense of the whole Magistracy of the comity. It might be said by very well-tneaning lwrsons, that they could see no harm in permitting these itinerant persons to go about the country ; but the Bench could not fail to recollect that this was a very novel oroceediug. tinder these impressions, he concluded by moving that this application be rejeCted. Alr. Ocular., a resident Magistrate in this town, seconded the motion. Colonel ' Pouts rose decidedly to oppose the mo tion which had been moved and seconded. Ile had opposed the 'application sit the Petty Sessions, because it was canine Hon judire—the Art of Par lamest requiring that the etiortter should be sob mitred to the consideration 1.1 . et Special Petty Ses sion-, enlivened for the specific purpose. mill the Petty Sessions at which it was brought forward leavitig lwen hri.l fir other business ; but how that the question was before a competent tribunal, lie should fully and freely orioles. his sentiments. As a friend to the liberty of the ►ul.ject, lie could not but consoler the freedom sit speech as essential to that liberty; and feeling thus nl►ou general prisiciples, he could not but aCtillit:-cc tu the aleph cat ttttt of this Gradient on, an planted us It Was b y such respectable testimony of loyalty and integrity. Iridess a eery strum.; case had been made out to chew that Nlr. Ilio ttttt field Wilt. .111 improper person to receive a license, Ire could not conceive upon what pretence the inerrian of ta i • Learned Counsel could be resisted. %Vireo the Legislature passed the Act iii question, which limited the freedom of the subject in so important ate entitle as the discus sion of political subjects, they wisely placed a ells ceetimilry power in the. Nlaogistracy of giantiii4 censes IU c uses like the itre.wsit ; but et the same time giving them a power of ret.o mist i•ui, to the event of the party abusing the esistlonaly given to loin. It never could be in the contemplation of the Legislature to put a stop to inuotcnt IIIPCIIB.4iOII ; and the proof• that such could slot he their intent' tttt t ales the power given to the Nlagistraies of controlling such discussions if they exceed-il due limits. If the power of grateing licenses iterated and tliiug. it cer tainly dill not mean the power of liking From the subject the privilege of free and • •cent discussion. %Vhatever might be the supposed motives of the Gentleman whose case was under consideration, it became matter for serious attentiuu, aliciher the Court would give any creil.t to the re s i n ctahle testimony they had heard, or shut out the leissilacy of events which never could happen. As to the ter ills polities and gunpowder, they created no apprehen sion in his 1111iitl. POI itical discusion, a hen fairly 11941 temperately conducted, was not only must irinocent but most useful ; and in the sense in wit eh the a ord pa/ifics was obeli by the applicant ill his syllalms, having reference only to the tory of mankind, Ins inutives appeared to be per feet. ly legitimate. Nay, if lie had gone further, and pro posed to discuss the political history of Oita coun try, he (the [lota. Magistrate) teas not '►repined to say that lie had not a tight, us a British suliject, so to do. %Vino ! were the mouths ot• a free people to he atopt up ? We're nn 1111111 to hate the power of conirnunicating to his frilow until the honest sitinitiits which lie might esltertaiu upon matters intimately c tell with the hahopittess of the commuiiiiy ill which he lived ? It was nut neces sary fur him to enter more at large into the subject ; lie Lad only to say, that he could not concur in the sentiments of the Iluu. Baronet, the tendency of ' ',how ob.er%utiosler would go to put a stud► not only to all 'political drscussion. but even to extinguish the light of science, end barlearise the mind of man. Genius itself would expire stouter the cramped and fri g id influence of such notions ; all mental iroprotement, troth political aid moral, must cease, bird 11rau, the image of his maker, must re turn to a state of ignorance and ferocity. %Vas it likely that the great name-sake of this Gentleman, the poet Bloomfield, would have emerged from a cobbler's shell, if such sentiments had prevailed in his day ? and was it presumption to say, that his Geutleinan might become as celebrated ler poli tical knowledge, under the protectiug iittluence of liberality, as the humble parent of " The Farmer's Buy" had become as a poet ? The great tragedian Kean might have languished in obscurity on the board. of a Devonshire barn, but for the trooping and irresistible powers of genius triumphing over ignorance and prejudice. It was well knorsu that that celebrated person was an obscure itinerant, and had emerged from a barn, to personate the dia. racier* of heroes awl of kings, before au auditory a ortht• 111 apprecieting his userits—the British pub lic. It was mifficie in fur I (the worthy hate) to know that the Magistracy had the power of checking ally slase of the privilege granted to the Petitioner; and feeling that it es a. the duty of the Magistrates to feat an honest, a stonily, and a liberal tousle ucti tttt upon the Act, Ire certainly should give his assent to the mutimi made fur grant ! tug the license. Mr. DISNEY (lately a practicing liarristtr on the IVratern Circuit, hot now ass active Magistrate for this 4 omit)) said, that us hr beloved the floss. Coot. Ilsol allotted to him, sties, lie talked of mate I.ossri 0, lee felt it necessary to t splsio the tomtit eta his conduct no the present occasion. lie oa t s pre seta •lien the 141birti 4425 ditcu►sed at Ike Potty Sessioot, and he dim stabil it to be his oploioo, that -~_.~. the Magistracy of this great county ought not to delver their sentimelits upon atlels an application in a • orner. It was tit that the world should see their conduct and hear their sentiments. Ile also stated, that by the common law of the land evri v snail lad a right to lecture in public, and sicker Ids sentiments openly and without any other control than what that law had previously provides', in cases where the public welfare wile not endangered. As the Legislature, however, thought proper to adopt an extraordinary measure, and arm the Magistracy with particular powers, he thought it to be hisduty, in execution of that powar, to look at it most strictiv,and grant will t hesitation the license which had 111'1-11 demanded ; Imecause if there was any real reason for ssippming this mass's intentions were dangerous, it was easy to put a stop to the supposed mischief. According to the construction of the Act, the li cense to lecture was not a personal privilege, but had reference only to the lecturing room. It wai not like the provision of the Toleration Act, which required a license for the person, as well as the place. Ile was not afraid of this gunpowder Percy, though lie was not stead. It was unjust to presume bad intentions, where none were proved to exist, and therefore he should vote for the license. Mr. llttismrsTuts, the Chairman, said, that how ever lie might agree in general with the sentiments of Sir John Tyrrell, in cases where there was really any apparent danger, lie could not but think that the strong certificates of character which the appli cant had produced must silence all objection.
