In answer to a remark snide by the de fendant, that his witnesses were not present, be observed this was not his fault—they ought to be theft. Mr. Cathie linew tit it was not his Lordship•i fault. But lie, expectintz his defence would oc cupy a longer period, had not thought their at. letortuce necessary, nor had lie those books with hilt to which he wished to refer, lie tool been careful not to eucumber him , ell with mote than lie thought lie should %yaw, for yesterdAy he had neatly lost I%vo pat eels ot his books %clic%) getting into Court. There seemed a dispo,ition to get thvm from him. The Chief Justice said, a e:ilm dispassionate inlviiry was desired. Any thin;z th , “ bore so , ll a character mi..:ht be bionght for+vard. The questions be should leave for the Jury would be, whether the work row mi,ler prosecution merited such a character. It it did. not deserve the cha racter it had received, he would be entitled to his aeTrittal. Mr. Carlile wished to briny; wi!ncsscs to prove, that our version was iu some respects different front the original Hebrew. The Chief Justice said, such evidence would not he received. It was irrelevant, as the %Yolk which the defendant h'ad published, did not attack a part of the Bible, but the whole tabric of the Christian Mr. C,o We wished to hrin4 forward the worth of Mr. Locke and other eminent persons, in favour of Unit ersal Toleration, These, as they would go to prove that the Christian Religion cordd sostain no injury from free and fair di;enssion, would be likely to have more effect on the Jury than any thing that could fall from his own mouth. The Chief Justice was of opinion be ought to have been prepared with these. Mr. Carlile did not expect that he should want them to-day, as he had not expected the inter ruption that he had received. The Chief Justice said, be had only been inter ritpted when he attempted to introduce irrelevant matter. Mr. Cathie was anxious to call witnesses to his moral character, as he did not think the Jury would semi Lim to three or four years soiitary confinement, if he were likely to do his duty in society as a man and a father on being re turned to it. fie had an infant family that look ed ty to him for support, and it was on this oc ession that he was the more anxious to vindicate his moral character. Whatever the tendency of the book might be, he had published it with a good intention. lie had now no witnesses in at te•►rdance; he had much important matter to offer to-MOITOW, and was now, after standing there from the morning, taking no refreshment but wa ter, so completely exhausted, that he had scarcely any recollection left about him. The Chief Justice repeated, the Court could not adjourn to give him au opportunity of bringing forward any thing, the object of which was to deny the Huth of the Christian Religion. Mr. Carlile wished to bring forward persons of various persuasions to show that in which they believed was ab•iird and ridiculous. Such were the doctrines of Johanna Soutd►cott, yet she had been allowed to go on, and thousands believed in her still. He wished to examine the Bible—he would use no sarcasm—all he desired was to com pare and examine. The Chief Justice could not allow him to pro ceed as he was disposed to do. Mr. CArlile then Raid, he had some observations vthiel; wished to address to the Jury. The Chief Justice—Well, make them. Mr. Carlife could not do so with the necessary effect, his strength leas so far exhausted. The Chief Justice replied, if he had consumed his strength in a struggle tor the introduction of irselevent 1113ItCr, he WAS Sorry fur it ; but as yet he had laid no 'ground for the adjournment he desired. He could not be allowed to recruit his !strength, merely that he might be enabled again to combat the law. Any thing that could be properly urged in his defence, lie had every wish to gke hint the fullest opportunity of addressing to tie Jury. . . . After many other remarks, Mr. Catlile pledged himself not to htin44 forward any thing new ;against the Bible. The Jury expressed a wish that the request of the defendant should be com plied with, en an understanding that he should limit his defence to addressing them on matte's immediately connected with the prosecution and the Chief Justice relying on the defendant's pledge to pursue such a course, adjourned the Court till hall-pAst nine tlis morning.

" IlAmnuaGn, OcT.2.—We learn from Dantzic that the Count Capo &Istria had disembarked at that port, and that he was to proceed from thence to join the Emperor of Russia at Warsaw." By an arrival in the States from China, it is said, that a Russian frigate had artived at Can ton, and reported that the territory on the Coast of California, which is about 800 miles iu length, has been et.(kl by Spain to Russia, in payment for the assistance afforded by the Emperor ALB%- ANDlitt to his Catholic Majesty, in fitting out the. Expedition for Buenos Ayres 311(1 Limi. The Morning Chronicle, which is too apt to give credit to every idle and loose report, in referring this day to an assertion in an Evening Paper of Tuesday, stating that expresses had been sent off to •Lord COLCHESTER and Mr. CANNING, proceeds to say that a " report, which was before preva lent, had in consequence gained ground, that Lord Stpuou - rst is to be sacrificed to the in dignation of the Country, and Lord CoLcuEsTER is pointed on.: as his successoa." In the first place the Evening Paper (an Opposition unclean know nothing of the substance of any expresses to Lord COLCHESTER and Mr. CANWING, but the folly of connecting any such expresses with Lord 6'll)l4O[3TH belongs wholly to The Morning Chro nicle. As to tl►e other report " before prevalent," it has existed only in the imagination of The Morning Chronicle, and is wholly destitute of all other foundation. It is indeed nothing more than a side-wind attack upon a Nobleman, who is always anxious to discharge the ditties of his office with a strict regard to justice and humanity, and who, upon the Subject alluded to, most na turally have revolted from the idea of giving any sanction to illiberal, Absurd, and unconsitutional prejudivation. is impossible to read the proceedings on the Trial of CAP.I.ILEC without deeply lamenting that some legislative measure has not been adopted, which should exempt the Public Feelingi and the National Faith from receiving such a shock as must necessarily have resulted from the mode of defence which has been adopted. But it is a great satisfaction to find that the JUDGE is reso bitchy determined to support the Law and the Religion of the Country, and not to suffer any mode of defence which may tend to shake the foundation of that hallowed truth on which our happiness here and hereafter essentially depends. But it is an additional satisfaction to find that the Julci• strongly participate in the same feelings, and revolted with horror front a discussion of topics which never should be discusbed in a Court of Justice. There WaS a paragraph in our Paper of the 6th inst. implying that disrespect had been recently shewo by the Mayoress of a " Notthetu Corpor ation to a Noble Lady, most deservedly beloved and divlnguishea for the kindness of her disposi tion and her a►uiable manners." This partigrlil. l, accidentally found its way into our raper among those which are usually taken from other Jour nals, for the sake of affording variety, but we have since been induced to inquire into the real state of the case, and we find that the Mayoress is full as amiable a character as the Noble Lady, to whose merits we readily subscribe. The truth is that the Mayoress acted, as all her predecessors bad done, in claiming the precedence attached to the situation which site occupied; but we are perfectly persuaded that rather than have given the slightest occasion for offence on the ground of etiquette, she would most willingly have practised every courtesy that superior rank could have required. This, however, is not a time to abolish those forms which custom has establish ed, and which are necessary to give due weight and influence to Authority, if only of a tetnporlry nature. We have deemed it our duty to make this explanation, because we unwarily inserted a paragraph conveying a reflection upon a truly amiable Lady, whose family and connections we have always held, and always shall kohl, in the highest respect, esteem, and veneration. Letters from Newcastle, received this day, state that the Meeting of Radicals in that place ter minated peaceably. B E It M U D A. U ~...~... CARLILE'S TrAL. THIKD DAY. ' This morning a greater concourse of persons •ssenibled at Guildhall, and on the doors being opened an immense body rushed in, and took possession of almost every vacant space in this Court. Complete order was, however, restored before the CEIIEP JUSTICE took his seat on the Bench. A few minutes after 9, Carlile appeared in Court, accompanied by Until', between whom and Sheriff Parkins, some conversation passed re spec:ing books necessary for the defence, which Carfile stated to be in the hands of strangers. At twenty minutes before ten the Chief Justice entered the Court, and iheJury being called over, CarWe resumed his defence to the following effect : " Gentlemen-1 pledged myself not to introduce any twitter for consideration that had been object.. ed to by the Court ; I have endeavoured to prove (bat I am nut the wicked atrocious individual that I have been stated to be by the Attorney ' General, and also that the work of Mr. Paine was nut the description of work that it had been re. f t presented ; it was a book written in honour and not in ridicule of, or to vilify God ; it had been the practice at all ages to persecute men for el . ' pressio4 their opinions ; Jesus Christ himself had been prosecuted by the Attorney General of Jerusalem, and there not being any Jury there, he was condemned by an unjust Judge. How ever, Gentlemen, I have dune my duty in vindi• eating this Publication, and you 11 cI o T ours this day, by your Verdict of Not Guilt y. Gentlemen, I ant a most humble individual, not in search of any honours or emolument, nor is it in my power to have the least e,,E r , olan d ev er' the laced hat and coat of a Parish licAle soup be rather given to the most subservient hypocrite than the man before you, who holds op i nions t h a t he considers jut, and possesses enough courage to expres them. I have, then etare, not hing to d epen d 'on but your honesty, discrimination, a nd discern meat; being restricted in oUrin4 to you that which would have convinced you of the truth of hat has been published, I liod the plan of my defence deranged, and baying spent a considerable part of the short interval since Inset in the necessary slumber:, for relievin,; me tram tine f a ti gue had undergone, I have not had much opportunity of adopting another line. 1 have, however, selected a number of the opinions of eminent per sons, well known in the Christian World, and shall submit them for your enusideration."--r -(He then [no:bleed the Hook of the Rev. J, Evans, called " Christian Denominations," front which het lead some extracts.)—llaving finished, he re sumed— " The Crown Lawyers see the increase of crime, but not the march of the mind intell e ct , is on the move, yet the Le %stye.' s retnain ass 'fixed as a able-stone on a turap:ke-road. This is the last prosecution of the kind that will rake place, for I have it from good auttiosiry, that this case was not brought into Cuurt by the con sent of the Learned Judge on the Bemis, and the known character of the Attorney General, was against it ; he is the mere machine of yrue authority elsewhere. I shall reed some extracts front Mr. Locke : this Author, you will recollect, was quoted by the Attorney-Generil in his open ing Speech.--[Long extracts were here read, be ing what the delrodAnt thought were ;ti support of his opinions.] —Gent lemen, it may trot be impro per here to cmarlt , that " Paine's Age of Reason" is read in ell the Colleges of the United Stats-s of America, and also in the London lostiturioils, to which the frequenters anti subscribers In3y have access, if they ple,lsr.

" We regret that the Colony is without the usual Supplies; an eril the more difficult to be remedied from its protracted continuance. We, however, with all zeal and fidelity for t! general welfare, shall studiously direct our attention to pro vide lot the public wants, by selecting such objects of Taxa tion as arc able to sustain it with least inconvenience and sz►ffering to the country. " Amongst other matters of importance which claim on:- atteutitt, the Laws respecting Provision for the Colony will nut be ovei looked. • " The general interests of the Colony having been, as your Honour remarks, so lately under Legislative consideration, we cannot anticipate that much additional matter can imme diately occur for deliberation ; hut we shall ever be watchful to seize any occasion of promoting every measure connected with its prosrrity and happiness. By order of the house, "JOHN HARVEY, Speaker." THE THEATER.—The Comedy of Lore for Lore, one of the wittiest and most humorous, in the whole road of the English Drama, was admirably represented last night at Covent-Garden Theatre. CHARLES KEMBLE'S Valentine was excellent throughout. Tuarly was very successful in Sir Sampson, and FARREN in Foresight. lingelica, Mrs. Foresight, and Mrs. Frail, found spirited irpresentatives, in Mrs. DAVISON, Mrs. FAUCIT, and Mrs. GIBBS. Bert was given with characteristic spirit and humour by EMERY, but the audience took offence at some passages of rather too coarse a nature, which ought to be expunged from 'a Comedy that posses ses too much genuine wit and humour to require any aid from obscenity, or any coarse allusions. We think that the cri;ical knife should he applied to all such passage% as mark the licentiousness of the times in which this play was written, and the exclusion of which would render it at all times popular, 'while ade quately supported in the representation. The Theatre had a very numerous and elegant audience. As it appears by The Leeds Litelligencer, that the Doke At NORFOLK, the Lords Trizwit.l.l.o4, THANET, and several other Aristocratic Whigs, who are among the principal Borough holders in the kingdom, have joined the Yorkshire Re formers, it is only reasonable.to infer, that Messrs. HurtsT, ticAttLETT, TIERNEY, LLOYD, and the other Commoners who represent the Boroughs of the.le Noble Personages, will support and vote for the Electors' Oath Bill, which is to be brought into Parliament in the next Sessions, though they voted against a similar measure in the last ; and that, after they had carried, only the day before, a proposition for the Reform o f the Scotch Boroughs.—How truly admirable is their sincerity and consistency ! ! But more of this I illloll . Yesterday the Doke of WELLINGTON had an audience of the PUINCE REGENT, at Carlton- 011 Se. Tuesday their Royal Highnesses the I)uke and Duchess of CLA it UNCE visited Wabiershare-house, the beautiful residence of the Earl of GUILDFORD. The Duke of ! NIMCASTLE, the Duke of PORT LAND, and Earl MANVERS, have liberally given 5001. each to the subscription of the county of Nottingham, to enable such per , ons /IS may choo4 e to proceed as colonists to the Cape of Good Hope, The force of public opinion, on the necessity of imposing on the Electors in Close Boroughs, the saute re;-,, , olations which apply to the Voters in Counties nod Cities, begins, it iR said, to be extensively felt throughout the kingdom ; awl, as evidence of this opinion, is Corte3pondeot lAornIS Ili, that there are at present-several or these Bo rontglis ior private sale : among them, one in Sorry ; two in Sussex ; two in IlampsHre ; three in Wiltshire ; two in Devonshire ; two ia Corn wall and fanz in Yorkshire. fe/ • NI ......... e 'l'A.i, SIX alfinf'); t he I>i ri °I.
