THE LIBERTY OF THE PRESS-LORD KENYON-AND THE NEW TIMES. The Liberty of the Press! Unquestionably it stands I ghest in value and in rank of all our privileges ; sould ever its existence come into contest, we hope e shall ever be found in the front of the battle. We rm the same of every one of those rights which ake up the great charter of English liberty. But e adi, likewise, that should ever, which Goo for d ! a struggle for the preservation of the Crown and se established orders of the State under that Gonsti ition which gave freedom to our fathers call us to leir defence, we trust that, with the innate pride of ritishloyalty,we should then also stand forth wjth the ime alacrity, and push forward to the same foremost ation. Therefore, and on this ground it is, that we ve no wish to magnify dangers, or to" fear where no ar is ;" and we may be permitted to say, that we see cause to predict, frOni the deeision of the Commis voners of Bankruptcy in the matter of SToix6 LE; a liar rapt, es-parte LORD KEN YO)T, any of those fetal consequences to the LIBERTY OF THS Pans which the ominous prophet of the New Tines would lead the public to apprehend. LORD Kantor; is a slaty benevolent and a very worthy man ; he has dab bled with Newspapers and has burnt his fingers. We qre very sorry for it ; we think he, like many other sufferers, deserved a better fate : —but the law must L.,ke its course ; the law of partnership makes him liable, and from its decision there lies no appeal. But as for the Freedom of the Press, we are of opinion, that the New Tines and the Courier, with the rest of Are Thema, may go on defending the abuses of Go vernment and defaming their opponents with as much safety u ever. This alarmed Journalist puts forth his statement thus :—" The facts of the case," says he, " u nearly es we can collect them, were the following : " About two yeers and a half ago, three persons (A. B. and C.) established a Newspaper; a fourth (D.) advanced 19 Om the whole money necessary for that purpose, to Up Sao unt ofilve thensams4 pews& D. was not to receive to Ms lens use any pert of the profits of the concern, nor was be bold out to any body ass partner, nor did he ever claim to be considered as snob ; but A. B. and C. agreed, in consequence of the advance be had made to the concern, that they would be guided by bis opinions in the conduct of their Paper ; that they would submit to his judgment in the allotment of the shares of profit between them in proportion to their respective labours ; that be should be at liberty to remove any one of them for misconduct ; sod that if the profits shonid ea ed a certain sow, be should be authorized to direet the stribution of the surplus among charities, and other sub •ects of a stipulated description ;—and upon this statemest of fads, it would seem, the Commissioners held that D. was a partner." The learned lawyer of the New Times proceeds to eater his protest against this decision, as destructive of the Liberty of the Press, and the consequent security of the civilized world. "If such," says be, "be the judgment of the Commissioners, we do not hesitate t•. say that the law ought immediately to be altered." " Impeder is his owa opinion, To Lawyers sad the law's dominion 1 " He does not deem, for an instant, that the lasemay Tossibly be right, and himself wrong ; but wherever their conceptions don't square, he is for sending the jurisprudence to the right-about. • Now, we really think, that, upon this writer's own ihewing, if any circumstances in the above statement can constitute D. (meaning the aforesaid LORD KEY DN) a partner, here is enough evidence to pronounce him so. For how stands the fact ? D. furnishes all the capital, not only to set the newspaper concern afloat, but to keep it going. A. B. and C. were to pro mulgate his opinions, not their own ; he reserved the entire disposal of the profits of the concern ; he was to apportion those profits among his three coadjutors he might think proper ; he retained the power of 41 , arnissiug them for misconduct ; and if the gains exceeded a certain sum, he was at liberty to apply Ilia surplus to charitable uses, " and other subjects of stipulated description." Now if here is not an iitterest, and an interference in the disposition of the prOts of the concern sufficient to make D. a partner, we know not what is required to constitute a partner ship. But let us attend to the supposed cases which ship most learned Theban produces by way of illustra tion. .4 Suppose," says he, " two bankers in the city acre to agree that all the profits of their bank, above t.n thousand a year, should be paid to the Bishop of radon, to be distributed among poor clergymen, mld this be such an interest as to make the Bishop partner ? Or suppose they were to agree to consult C LORD MAYOR, and to be always guided by his Nice in the employment of their funds, would that Ake the LORD MAYOR a partner ?" Really, a writer mean bring forward either of these suppositions as a , .srallel case, must possess so slender an allowance of intellect, that to press hard upon him would be down , right malevolence. Let us for a moment imagine the oi,iestiou to be, whether A. against whom there is the : , trongest circumstantial evidence that he received •i,e goods of B. knowing them to be stolen, is guilty felony as a receiver of stolen goods ? " If the iw is so," says some such analogical reasoner this Journalist of the New Timcs—" if the I iw is so, we do not hesitate to say that it ought im mediately to be altered ; for suppose the case of two ckpockets in the city privately agreeing that all the nount of their nocturnal depredations beyond a cer in sum shall be sent to the Bishop of London, to be ; plied to charitable purposes, and they enclose it in n anonymous letter accordingly, would this be such receiving of stolen goods as would subject the B•shop to transportation as an accessary? Or sup rose, as strangers, they were to consult the Lord Mayor, being a banker, where they should best place .eir money for security, and he was to advise them ,• invest it in his bank, would that make him liable be indicted as a receiver of the stolen property, t d convicted as a felon!' An individual who can reason thus is never diffi. nt of his own capacity, because he bas not sense ()ugh to perceive his own want of it. In order to make his casts at>J assimilate: In the rst, the Bishop of Londcin should not merely be the chosen almoner of the Iwo city bankers, to the extent of ten thousand a year, but the Right Reverend Father should have advanced the whole of the trading capital ; the firm should be subjected to the control of his guidance in the government of the banking concern ; they should submit to his discretion, as to the apportionment of the profits ; he should be at li berty to dismiss any one of them from any share in the management, whenever, in his opinion, they miscon ducted it; and if the emoluments exceeded a given amount, he should be at liberty to dispose of this sur plusage to pious uses, " and upon other subjects of a stipulated description." So, in the other case, the Right Worshipful the MAYOR must take the UM lead, and the whole transactions of the concern and the profits of it must be in like manner placed under Ibis uncontrolled and uncontrollable direction and au perintendence. But to strip the case in gueition of all its circumstances, and then to reproduce it as a case in point, even the Ministerial readers of the New Times, accustomed, as they must be, to trick and imbecility, must bolt at such a shallow attempt upon them as this. The alarmist of the New Times affects to be in utter dismay at the decision which affirms LORD KENYON'S liability as a partner. "A more deadly blow," he declares, "was never struck at the sound, rational, and beneficial liberty of the Press." Indeed I We would recommend to this terrified scribe to take some cooling medicine, and to read the Six Aces-- the former to abate his feverishness, the latter to refresh his memory. CITY BUSINESS. Yesterday the Lord Mayor held a Court of Common Coun cil at guildhall for the dispatch of Public Business. The Toll Committee delivered in a Relied relative to an in terruption in landing coals at Tower-stairs, with the opinion of the Solicitor, that the said obstruotioa at the said stairs cannot be maintained, which was agreed to and referred beck to the Committee, to act therein as they should *cell. A Report from the Committee for General Purposes, is re lotion to the Orphans' Fund, was read and ordered to be printed and sent to the several members. Tbe Swordbcarer's Committee ►aid before the Court a Re port respecting the purchase of the several places of the Lord Mayor's household, which was ordered to be printed. The Petition from the Church 'gardens of St. Bride, pray ing an inquiry into the present state of the London Work- house, was presented, and read, and referred to the Special Censmittee appointed to investigate that business. Sundry other business was transacted. SHIPPING INTELLIGENCE. PtArisour a, Dee. IL—Sailed the Berwiek, Jefry, for Yea Dieetaa's Land.

The keeper of the prisms ap plied on Monday to the Sitting Magistrate at Hatton-gardealolice, when Mr. Rogers and Mr. Laing proceeded to the House of Cor rection. The most active in the mutiny were immediately sum moned before them, and the Magistrates directed them to be se parately locked up and put upon quarter allowance. Four of the most violent were directed to be well flogged in the presence of all the prieoners, which sentence was ionuediately executed l and it had the desired effect upon the others, who reterned to their work, and on the following morning the prisoners, through the 'medium of one of the Magistrates, made a respectful application to the Prison Committee for an increase of the prison allOwance, ia ease the Order of Session was to be enforce d The prisoners stated that the present allowance was quite inadequate to their support, if they were prevented accepting the assistance of their friends.

Mr. HART understood that his Lordship had appointed the Commissioners in this ram, but had not yet directed when the Commission should be put in operation.

Mr. Hesse—We shall be very glad to have the assistance of Lpt4 Portsmouth's Counsel. Mr. Asir said it was agreed on all sides, that whether Lord Portsmouth was sere or out, he was at least capable uf enjoying tie comforts of society.

The Lois CiIANOILLOS•-" It may be my duty to direct an intercourse with Lord Portsmouth under certain conditions, but this I cannot do until I have seen the medical gentlemen.

THE CASE OF RYE HARBOUR. Mr. Hate stated, that in this ease his Lordship bad direct ed the' WINS te be tried at let. The Counsel on both side. had • upon the inues, and the question now was, where t to be tried. The improvements which had been 'sad were now making, in Rye Harbour, were con es likely to be very injurious to the adjacent low ode' though beeeticial tar the trade or that part of the country. The mercantile and* agridelturel interests were. very anxiety opposed with respect to these changes. Rye bein situated en the confines of the two counties of /lessee the trial could not take place in those counties t of an impartial Jury. He had applied s order of the Court to let it take place either in ti nty of Middlesex or the City of London. By choosi either of these places much expense might be a es it would be necessary on the trial to call a great many engineers and scientific. persons as witnesses. [The Learned Counsel here read the amdavits of the Commis sioners under the Rye Harbour Act, and also of several re. spectable gentlemen and tradesmen, stating, that such ■ tgree of prejudice and bias esisted generality in the two unties regarding the harbour of Rye, that it was scarcely to haves fair and impartial trial there.] Mr. flueoms, oo the same side, said the be tweenquestion wabe tween laselowners and the mercantile interests, whether the harbour of Rye should be deadeeed to the apprehensions of landed proprietors in eke two adjoining counties. MI that part of the population at all likely to be called on as jurymen were so humanise wholly to preclude any hopes of a tem perate investigates. It had been said, that the distance of the Anise tames would de away with this objection, but it mast be sonsembered that the smmmonses to jurymen were feet ioallseriesinately to all meets of the counties. Now this harbour extends some nu Wilton the country, and is the com mon channel of conveyance for much valuable produce. Be sides, there could be no possible inconvenience to the other aide in consenting to the places named by Mr. llart. The Arronien-Glaw FILM opposed the application, and did not helicic that an obscure corner town of the county of Sussex could any how exercise so extensive an influence veer the minds and consciences of two counties.

This was a prosecution for perjury, alleged to have been committed by the Defendant, in the evidence which he had given on the trial of • criminal information tiled by the Attor ney-General in the Court 01 Exchequer, against James Law, fur smuggling. It was the same Defendant who was found guilty on a simi lar charge yesterday, preferred by the same prosecutor. On the Special Jury being called over, only live GeollemoO appeared. Mr. Miaow inquired of the Solicitor General if be would pray s r ilea, and he replied in the negativ e . Mr. Jones, for the prusecutor, said, as he had not the warrant of the Attorney General, he was not in a condition to pray a tales ; but lie trusted, in a case like the preseut, the Court would interfere in that behalf. The Cuter Jenne said be bad do authority to compel the defendants to pray a take. The ease thus weldor, and eighteen other indictments of a similar nature against the present and other defendants, arising nut of the same transaction, were disposed of in the same manner. BARRY V.

From the evidence for the Plaintiff, it appeared that the Dvlendant, who lets out caravans and carts to hire, had sent two of his caravans to Vali:hall to remove some goods, and on their return in the evening, near Keunington-cross, they encountered the wheel of a one-horse chaise drawn close up to the side of the footpath, in which the plaintiff was silting.
