Fabricatedsopies of the King of ENah.t,sn's - Speeeb, said to have arOved in 24 hours. were exhibited on 'Change, which put hitt shis Majesty's.mouth a profe) , &ion of the strictest neutrality in the event of a war between France and Spain. A 64 . 14 investigation into this disgraceful proceeding hits been intituted by the French Police, and the authors of it, it is ex pected, will be exposed and punished. : ! - M Categories of the Council of Ten,tt a . Eoa--- ndotthTeallegories ofthe Edinburgh Review, &c. had made some clamour about the Bishop of Peterborough's questions, and a pamphlet had been written immediately in answer to them all, which at last called forth a sort of answer on the part of the Council, if it deserve the name, where it only alludes to . the title in broad farce, with out the least pretension to an argument on the subject. To took to this article in the number, we might imagine, that instead of being one of the mighty Decemvirs who took so much pains to give and administer laws in morals and In writ in;, he was only one - of the Bibliopolists of the day, or rather of the Bibliopolists' boys, in the lowest shop of the suburra, who never travel be yond the title-page, and meddle only with the I.prices without any the least regard to other in terest in the commodity. Once, he appeased to us a lad of some promise in understanding, and in spirit, worthy of better days ; which might improve as age advanced and a sober experience familiarised men with the knowledge of the world. We therefore took the liberty to com pare him to a comet, with fire enough in his tail blazing with a ray of intelligence far above his years, revolving in an orbit too eccentric, and perhaps too pure, to be properly fixed and ad justed to any of our well-known systems, and like that extraordinary phcenomenon in the heavens,. exciting the more admiration, as we were the less conscious whence he came, or whither he was going. But now that we behold him sinking like the rest of the planets which pretend to illuminate the land, with the same dull round of low buffoonery and hyper-criticism, declinieg to enter further than the title page into the argument which he himself provoked, and offering no other vindication of his pusillanimity than a bare quotation from a man who was dis 7 tinguished for no other qualification but his style, and a base and ignominious irony with which he assailed all public characters in the dark, we cannot but feel ourselves shaken its our confi dence, and inclined to class him in the common herd of those ephemerical critics who five, but by partiality, on the spirit of party, or by any other consideration than a regard to truth, how ever they may in their first outset affect to feel, or in reality do feel, with this council, no other predominant • influence. For even now we are willing to encourage as far as possible the first idea we entertained of him, that the " young Gentleman," from Oxford is still imbued with the love of truth, which he brings fresh from his Alma Mater glow. , ing with all_ the sentimentality so natural to inexperience, and all the quixotic zeal for Making this the bv - 6t and purest' of all possible worlds, and can only account for his aberration from the purity of his sphere by the probable supposition that, strong as his intellects may be for his age, he happens to be dazzled by the brilliancy of the title, end to - confess the honest truth, it was meant to dazzle intellect of a cer tain size, but not so far to confound all their fa culties as never once to recover from the sudden shock. It was Only to arouse their attention to a subject which had been much, contested, and to induce them to enter upon the main argument, and if nothing die 'could tempt them' t o bring forward the mighty conjunction of two such bright lumi naries Hattie Council and the Northern Review, as an eclipse will attract the vulgar gaze when the' ordinary light of the Satz is passed itri heeded As_to the Pamphlet entitled .Episcopallnnova lion, for which sober prose the Council comics cends to abuse, we have been endeaveuring to east up all the' lights that we ever heard of, and for the life of us WO cannot, after all our pains, discover any that can bear the least relation to that inert and heavy mass of matter which is bundled clOse into a pamphlet, and might, for the Weight, sink into a profound oblivion. As to cc girt-light," which is proffered as a simile by the Council it is by far too beau tiful in 'tSelf, , nd foe' Useful' to'society to 'admit of thee-comparison : or. a planet or' meteor, or even Jack4t-lanthorn, too luminous and, magnificent, it might perhaps have been called, if we had Hudibras in our head's at the time, the dark lanthorn of the spirit, which none see by lmit those who bear or-what we have ventured to- call one of the Northern lights, an ignis-fatuus that bewilders en & leads then into poola and ditches,—but the real 'fact is, after having Waded through it with great labour and little fruit, that nothing but it self can he its parallel. It is the pestilential con gregation of vapours, of which it is the essence And quintessence; of that new light by which, whatever Men speak, still_ they are sure team in the tight--,which is so clearly shining forth in their great Evangelical luminary, all of which is so far ", in Ward" that nothing can be seen " outward" and soars therefore above - any human epithet except the elegautphraoe of the Council, the far thing rushlight, so humorously fathered upon Alma Lux—het which the adopted sou can never bear either in the literal or liberal translation,and ire cnunothelp thinking that it willrequire more thee . his immortal breath to blow it out as he pre sumes at once.

TRIAL OF THE CONSPIRATORt DisnLlN, FEII. 7.—The Jury having retired at half-past 3 o'clock to-day to consider of a verdict, the Judges remained on the Bench until 5 o'clock, waiting their return to court. At that hour, learning that delay was likely to occur, the Judges retired, intimating that two of them would return to Court at 9 to receive the verdict. Judges Bun Tog and. ViiiiiaLtun arrived at the 'hour mentioned, and having taken their seats, ordered the Jury to be summoned. The order was instantly obeyed, they ap peared in Court, and on their being asked if they had deter mined as to the verdict they shOuld give, replied; that they had not, and that they were not likely to agree. The foreinan,,aftcr this, requested that he and his brother jurors might be dis charged. The Judges refused to comply, and recommended them to return to their chamber and deliberate anew. Their Lordships then ordered the Sheriff to take charge of the Jury; to lock them up in their chamber, and to keep the key. The tipstaff of the Court was sworn not to allow any communica tion with the Jury, and to keep watch outside until nine o'clock to-Morrow morning, which hour the judges have appointed for the Court's sitting, when the Jury will be again called.. Iris supposed that no verdict will be returned, as the Jury are not likely to come to an' unanimous opinion. FEB. B.—The Judges took their seat at the usual hour this morning, and the Jury having been called ont and asked whether their difficulty in not figreei .1 arose upon any point of law ? The Foreman said " not ;" and a Juryman in the rear having said audibly, " the difficulty did not arise upon any point of law," they were then ordered back, after stating that they had not agreed; nor was there' any likelihood of their coming to an agreement. The AT TORNEY.OENERAL stated to their Lordships that the Crown had no wish to keeF the Jury longer; but he begged to have it understood as his intention to proceed against the traversers, the present determination of the Jury being no bar to future proceedings. The Jury were then called out, and the Attorney-General expressed the same observations in their presence; after which they were discharged by the Court. The traversers are still bound over in their recognizances. HAMPSHIRE AGRICULTURAL DISTRESS. In consequence of the refusal of the (Tate) High Sheriff a the County of Hurts, to appoint a Meeting for the purpose of taking into consideration the subject of Agricultural Distress, Sir Thos. Baring, Bart. of Stratton Park, has publicly made an offer of his services, as one of the . Magistrates of the County, to join any four of the Magistrates, in appointing a Meeting for that purpose, according as the Lavt directs. The following is Sir Thomas Baring's Address on the Subject : " Having read with as much astonishment as regret the re fusal of the High Sheriff to convene a Meeting of the Owners and Occupiers of Land in the County of Southampton, for the legitimate purpose of taking into consideration the universally acknowledged state of Agricultural Distress, and the propriety of petitioning Parliament for some redress of those grievances under which the Landed Interest of the kingdom at present labours, I did not hesitate to offer to the Requisitionists the aid of my services, as a Magistrate, to afford them this their tin doubted and inalienable right. " The most valuable Privilege of the People, and upon which their Liberty mainly depends, is the right ofaddressing the Throne and petitioning Parliament—the inheritance and birth-right of every British subject. Any supineness, there fore, under the violation of this important privilege, would carry with it too deservedly, the character of criminal indif ferenee ,• but I trust that the enlightened Magistracy, and .re spectable Proprietors and Occupiers of Land, in this great, populous, and Agricultural county, will lay aside all party pre judices, and come forward to assert and vindicate the right of which they may otherwise be deprived. n heen a, eteeac his tis ni wt bye n i tiytoi towards rna l t (iiivgisiieeettdhlictneoet influenced uee a eine l vn l etmitenyi l d i g i t; f recl u b question dwvc respectable .h lbi the integrity of the e p i on et heudtv ent u re statesi wiveo tdot In di vi dua l o bwho (as helms not thought proper to assign his reason for the refusal), - , that there never has occurred a more urgent or tit cause fOr such a meeting, or less probability of any disturbance of the public pease; and if the people possessess any legal and eon : stitutional right to meet at all, that they ought not, must not, and cannot, be prevented from assembling together, to repre sent their sufferings to that power whose duty it is, if practi • cable, to afibrd immediate and eftbetual relief. " I shall not be surprised should this 'impolitic and judged, or, if proceeding from the counsel of others, determination of the Sheriff, be received by all ranks and par ties of the inhabitants of this county with expressions of the Most marked and decided disapprobadon ; for the question of the rapidly decaying prosperity and industry of the whole land ed:proprietary and tenantry of the kingdom is of a magnitude sufficient to alarm and to attract the serious consideration of.all classes and.conditionS of life, and to absorb, for the time, all political divisions and party feeling. But I shall, indeed, be astonished, should there be found wanting four "Magistrates to unite with me in - giving effect to the reasonable request of so large and respectable a body of the community, if it shall appear to be their desire to avail them selves of our authority and services. At all events, I shall have conscientiously discharged my duty as allagistrate cpr the county, and as an Englishman, shall have evinced 'my at tachment to the , Constitutional Rights and ..Privileges of the people. • . "I have studiously abstained from noticing the very extra. , ordinary conversation stated to have taken place between the High Sheriff and the Gentlemen who waited uPon him with the Requisition for the 141,eeting, as any, allusion to an ex parte statement, which, if incorrect, will no doubt receive a refuta ion, would be as unjust as it is Contrary. to my inclination.

[MORNING GIIIIONICLE..I The proceedings of the House of Commons last night were more . than usually interesting. The irksome subject of Irish Tithes was forced on the attention of Ministers, whose notions of its importance may be inferred from the extraordi nary. length of time they have been occupied in deliberating on it. " The evils arising from the collection of Tithes had," according to Mr. Goulburn, " engaged the attention of the Irish Government from the first hour of their , administration, a measure on the subject was, at the present moment in a very forward state." Forward ! Are we to understand this with.relation to the time occupied in deliberation? When engaged on tithes, NlinisterS seem to derive their notions of time from the longevity of the Church, and in measuring their steps, to forget the briefness of the life of man. Generations pass away, and they are still deliberating. Mr. Peel, who could make up his mind in a moment when it was necessary to furnish France with a pretext for involving En rope iu war, by an admission that the claim'of Austria to hold '2O millions of Italians in thral dote was just and holy,—Mr. Peel saw at once, intuitively as it were, all the difficulty of the question of tithes, and the necessity for " temper and discretion," for avoiding partial details as likely to prejudice that " fair discussion," 'Which is reserved for some future generation. Mr. H urne, however, who has much work cut out, and %chose economy (roes not exclude time, broke down in a moment the guards of • the Gentlemen of the Treasury Bench, and entered unceremo niously on the question. " The state of Tithes and of the Church of Ireland (he said) was one cause of all the evils of that unfortunate country, and of the burdens of taxation imposed on this country." As the Government had postponed a question of this vital nature from year to year, and indeed had deceived him last year with such a promise as that by which it was now hoped to gain another Session, Mr. Ilame very properly refused to abandon the motion of which he had given notice. [VIE TIMES.] The Surrey Meeting of yesterday, of,whic the particulars will be found in this day's Journa came, as will be perceived, to a. ridiculous cot' Cobbett 'made his appearance there,- it is astonishing how small a leaven will leaven hirge maas. The original Petition was, in matter and form, well enough : it was but a very little bit that the above-named worthy added to it ; and 'through that very little bit, which really was as much nonsense as knavery, the whole NYas corrupted. One who had not wit to see the rascality through the nonsense, caught with avidity the latter, ga.ve the amendment his sepport, and thus' the whole petition was tainted, and' tho' petition'ers• exposed! Tto the laughter of every—hottest and .rational' man, both in and out of Parliament. It is lamentable to see coun ties' and county meetings Otis rendered eon temptible,"and the practice, of petitioning made to - appear absurd. We shall here brill" show the .stupidity. -of , the amendment as put in the mouth of the petitioners .Without . a i.‘,Parlittnientary reform" (it is said, suited to Cobbett's taste, according to which, any man, is to murder leis ureditors Who shall demand their jest debts,) "the petitioners can see no hope of , " that equitplo adjustment with regard to the public' (lett, and: with regard to nil contracts ce between nein and man, which is absolutely cc nece3sary to defend the country from foreign " foes, and to preserve it inn state of internal tram, “ quality." The petitions, therefore pretending to" he acting, under the greatest necessity, and veeiniring inirnedlate relief front the most urgent distress,:inform:Parliament and the country, that they de not hope for the relief for which they pray, till , a certain other measure shall be accom. plished, which measure, it is tilear, cannot imme. diately, and it' is-almost .:certain will not soot take place.- A pretty method of . praying for a speedy relief ! I am.dying of hangar,, hot do.not give me a morsel of bead till you have examined and decided my title to a-certain contested.estate. The agriculturists, in thus; telling the country that they do not want relief till after the Parlia ment is'reformed, do certainly tea us that their wants *re.not - very pressing. FOR TIM SUN.
