ing)—why not be manly enough to enact at once, that no rich man should dare to do what the poor man was afraid to venture On—why not do away with the Sunday drive in the Regent's Park—wh y not shut up Hyde Park—why notdo away with the loitering in Rotten-row ;or say that there should be no carriage-drive in the Circle, as there should be no cab in the street? (Cheering.) Why not do this, and then he (Mr. O'Connell) would give him (Sir Andrew) credit, which he did not now, for sincerity, as the people would give him credit for a manly and straight forward determination to act justly by all ? (Cheers.) He begged leave to say, that in these matters there could not be too much prudence : no man could possibly be too cau tious in imposing his own religious sentiments and opinions upon others. (Hear, hear.) He said that this bill was op posed to the genius and to the principles of Christianity ; and if he were called upon to show it, he would say that litigation—that domestic slavery—that private informa tions—that the calling in of the police magistrate—that unequal legislation—that the secret oath (that curse and bane of society) (Cheers)—that by these things more vice was entailed on society than by all the practices which this bill was intended to put down. (Loud cheers.) And yet he voilld pray the hon. baronet to consider how many persons by the working of this bill would be placed in the predica ment which he had described. Let him not think this was a time, or this a House of Parliament, to pass a bill for co ercive piety (Cheers)—to originate a sort of legislative god liness (Hear), or act of parliament holiness. (Hear.) He could not think so ; and he hoped such attempts would ever be met, as they had been that night, and ought to be, with argument on the one hand, and contempt and ridi cule on the other. (Hear.) It had been the exc lama t ion of one, during the guilty days of the French rovolution ' when standing on the guillotine, " Oh, Liberty ! - what crimes have been committed in thy name !", and- w i t h equa l 7;n truth it might be said, "Oh Religion ! 'at criminality has not thy cloak covered !" For He. - 4.ven's take, let them avoid such courses as these, and :et thtin vie one with an other in friendship and good feeling, in exalting the moral sense of the country ; et them not imagine that the power of an act of parl':aurent could avail if the dictates of God himself shoal?. be disregarded, or that their puny efforts would 'acceed where his mighty agencies had failed. (Cheers.) He would tell them that, instead of making religl:m respectable, they would make it odious in the eyes of the people ; and that if he (Mr. O'Connell) had any hope or any wish to sink the character of that reformed house in the eyes of the enlightened among the community —if he wished to gratify his malignity by such a triumph (which God forbid !)—he could not take a more certain course to effect so unworthy an object, than by persuading them to accede to the principle of sucha bill. But he called upon the house immediately to reject it. (Hear.) An How. MEMBER, whose name we could not learn, said it was because he was a Christian, and because he wished to advance the genuine principles of Christianity, that he was opposed both to the principle and the details of this bill ; and he had come down on purpose to vote against it ; and, in case the Scotch bill on the same sub ject, which stood next on the paper, should be brought forward, of moving its instant rejection. Mr. F. SHAW said that, seeing the house was so anxious for a division, he was merely anxious to observe, that the speech of the hon. and learned member for Dublin was throughout an argument against any legislation whatever on the subject. Sir ANDREW AGNEW briefly replied; after which the gallery was cleared for a division, and there appeared— For the amendment l6l Against it The bill was therefore lost by a majority of 36 The announcement of the numbers was received with loud cheers. CLIMBING BOYS. --------- - - Mr. TOOKE moved the second reading of the bill for the amelioration of the condition of climbing boys. Mr. R. WASON opposed the second reading, as the bill proposed to introduce what he considered to be a pre posterous mode of legislation. Mr. HUME dissented from the hon. member. This was -a far different case from that which had been lately decided. It was not preposterous. Unlike the bill just disposed of, the persons whom it would affect were of that description Rho could not judge or act for themselves ; and, therefore, he contended the legislature ought to interfere. In future no house should be built unless under a clause that the chimneys should be so built that machinery could be freely and easily worked. He thought the house should go into committee, without, however, pledging itself to any parti cular features of the bill. Mr. WARBURTON would not oppose the secondread ing. If such a clause was introduced as that spoken of by the hon. member for Middlesex, in twenty years the evil complained of would cease. Mr. G. F. YOUNG supported the bill. . M. W. RIDLEY said there were many objections in the bill, which, however, could be removed in committee. Mr. TOOKE said a few words in reply. The bill was then read a second time, and the committee ordered for Wednesday. WEIGHTS AND MEASURES. Lord EBRINGTON moved that the bill for the regu lation of weights and measures should be referred to a select committee. The hon. member for Mallow had given notice of a motion respecting Ireland, and another hon. member would likewise bring forward a motion concerning Scotland, which he considered would be the juster course, inasmuch as these gentlemen would be better acquainted with the question as it bore upon the respective countries. Mr. WARBURTON would oppose the appointment of the committee if its powers were not more extensive than those already named. He thought the committee should be named for the purpose of carrying the provisions of the bill throughout the country. There could be no uniformity if that great division took place. If union was to be main tained, it was by a uniformity of currency ; a uniformity of weights and measures ; in fact, by full and clear identi fication of interests pervading all parts of the empire. It would be absurd to draw distinctions between England, Scotland, and Ireland ; more especially when there could be no difficulty in legislating for the three countries. Sir W. RAE considered the application of the mea sure to Scotland would be productive of the most injurious effects. Mr. ADAM hoped his noble friend would be more general in the application of his measure. Mr. WALKER was for extending the provisions of the bill to Ireland. Lord EBRINGTON—Since the feeling of the house was so strong, he had no objection that the inquiry should extend to Ireland and Scotland. Mr. WARBURTON—WiII the committee examine witnesses? Lord EBRlNGTON—Certainly. The bill was then read a second time, and committed to Ebrington, Lord Wallace, R. Egerton, T. Rice, T. S 'ferment, J. E. Heathcoat, J. Thomson, C. P. Browne, D. Adam, Admiral Lewis, T. F. Wood, G. W. Murray, J. A. Mosley, Sir 0. Vernon, G. H. Ewing, J. Jephson, C. D. 0. Warburton, H. Bannerman, A. Walker, C. A. Denison, W. J.

AT LONDON BRIDGE TOMORROW. Morning .. 13 minutes after 9. 1 Evening... 43 minutes after 9. - 11 Al ortg - YL LONDON, THURSDAY EVENING, MAY 1, 1834. Sir A. AGNEW'S bill, after a long discussion, was thrown outlast night by a majority of 161, the minority being 125. Though most of the speakers concurred in the expediency of making some new-laws on the subject, there seemed to be a general and decided hostility to the bill of the hon. member, and many voted for the second reading with the hopes that the objectionable parts might be pruned off in committee. No pruning of such an ill-formed production, however, could make it suit the views of the people or any con siderable portion of the house, and so ill ac quainted is its author with the practice of legis lation and the feelings of members, that if the house were polled he could not have found 5 out of the 658 to support his bill. Let him leave the business to more practical men. He only injures religion by endeavouring to form every one after his own model. We are not sufficiently acquainted with the bill for Scotland to speak of its merits, but the Scotch members seem alive to it, and the English and Irish will not impose on their northern brethren restrictions which they cast off from themselves. There is no part of the world where the Sabbath is observed with such decorum and solemnity as in Scotland, and this arises not from legislative enactments, but from the example of the higher classes, and the spontaneous feelings of the great body of the people. The present POPE, we believe, when in this country, described England as a model for the observance of the Sabbath. We know not ,what his Holiness would have said of Scot land had he been placed at the Cross of Edin burgh on a Sunday during divine service, and had his hatred of JOHN KNox and Presby terian democracy allowed him to speak his real sentiments. We should be glad to see all Sunday trading put an and to, and the lower classes allowed every relaxation from la bour consistent with the necessary transactions of life ; but the bill of Sir ANDREW AGNEW is not calculated to effect these purposes. Some thing more simple, more rational, and more im partial is required. The papers brought by the Lisbon mail con tain no intelligence of moment. Major WYLDE is gone to the head-quarters before Santarem. Don MIGUEL was seen amusing himself with a horn very lately in Salvatierra. He was ac companied by Conde BARON and a few ragged lancers. He is known to be still in correspon dence with some parties here. Some of his officers have come over to PEDRO'S ranks. The number of deserters, from the Ist March to 12th April, exceeds 1,300 men. Viscount SANTA MARTHA and JOAO SILVEIRA have left the Usurper's ranks and joined the Duke of TER CEIRA. MIGUEL is SO much afraid of his own generals betraying him, that he has immured the Viscount de MOLELOS in one of the dun geons at Elvas ; and Viscount TORREBELLA is so well watched that he has, not yet been able to get away. It is intended by Don PEDRO'S government to do away with the custom-house on the frontiers of Spain, and to increase the commercial intercourse between the two coun tries by all possible means. Admiral NAPIER has been raised to the dignity of Count. He is extremely, and most deservedly, popular with the Portuguese. The accounts from Oporto are very satisfac tory. The QUEEN'S cause is evidently trium phant. The garrison of Almeida took the alarm at the entrance of the Duke of TER CEIRA into that part of the country and aban doned the place. About 1,000 prisoners for political offences, and many of them persons of great importance, were found in confinement and set at liberty. One of them, a brother of General VALDEZ, was chosen governor of the fortress. General TORRES still remains at Souto Redondo with his small division, and the Duke of TERCEIRA is marching down to Lamego. General GEORGE D'AVILEZ, whose activity appears unimpaired by six years' im prisonment, having organized a force of several hundred men at Alcanizas, in Spain, crossed IRISH VESTRIES BILL. On this bill being about to be read a second time, Colonel EVANS required postponement, inasmuch as a sufficient opportunity had not been given to the metro polis and the principal county towns to canvass the provi sions of the bill. Mr. SPRING RICE was perfectly willing to postpone the measure, in consequence of the lateness of the hour. Mr. HUME said there would be nothing more injurious In the noble lord's measure than the giving power to the magistrates to relieve the poor without the concurrence of the parish officers. Colonel EVANS hoped the noble lord would not hurry on his bill, but consent to a postponement. Mr. HUME was opposed to any delay— There were many prejudices abroad, which an inquiry in that house would materially tend to destroy. The bill was then read a second time.—Committed on Friday. SALE OF CORN. A Select Committee was appointed, " to inquire into the present practices of selling Corn throughout the United Kingdom, with a view to the better regulation thereof," consisting of the following members : V e rnon, G. J. Hodges, T. L. Stewart, P. M. Lewis T. F. Warburton. H. Strickland , S ir G. Chados, Marquis o Fremantle, Sir T. Denison ' Evelyn Bl am ire, W. Leech, J Sandon, Viscount Baring, A. Lambert, H.

Mr. HUME, in allusion to a notice which had been on the books, and put there by the hon. and learned member for Dublin, was desirous to know when the 6th report of the law commissioners would be laid on the table? Mr. SPRING RICE—No delay that can be avoided will be allowed to ensue. At one o'clock Mr. RUTHVEN moved that the house be counted, when there not being 40 members present, it adjourned. Extract of a private letter from Berlin, dated the 20th ult. :—" The royal ordinances, inserted in the last Bulletin of the Laws, relative to the supplying horses for the army, contains the following passage : ' As soon as we shall think proper to put the army, or even a part of it, on the footing of war, every subject of the kingdom will be compelled to give up, on the demand of the authorities, and without the least oppo sition, such horses as are fit for the service of the army. This injunction does not extend to the horses of the servants of the state or to postmasters ; but the first must have no more horses than are strictly neces sary, and the latter only so many as are comprehended in their contract. All other horses, whether for labour or pleasure, are to be placed at the disposal of the army.' " the frontiers with his followers on the 18th, and entered Braganza on the next day, where the usual ceremonies attending the proclamation of the QUEEN were gone through. He has since prosecuted his march to Torre do Moncorvo. AYRES PINTO, the last Miguelite Civil Governor of Oporto, and one of the sanguinary Al9ada which decreed the cruel executions in Oporto,lB2B, has been apprehended near Pinhel. According to letters from Coimbra, of the 15th, there were only 300 Miguelite soldiers in that place. A strong Constitutional feeling was spreading, and the Duke of TERCEIRA was daily expected to arrive. On the sth instant an engagement had taken place at Louie, in the Algarves, which termi nated in favour of the Constitutionalists. The greatest loss the Miguelite cause has sustained is in the defection of SANTA MAR THA, who came over to the QUEEN'S cause on e 12th. We have collected the foregoing from the various correspondence received last night by the Orestes, which arrived at Falmouth on the 29th. On the whole, every thing bears a very encouraging aspect, and when the Usurper and his friend Don CARLOS hear of the treaty with England, France, and Spain, there can be little doubt of their speedy withdrawment from Portugal. The French papers mention the fact that in telligence had been received by telegraph, to the effect of our communication on Thurs day, relative to the taking of Almeida by Donna MARIA'S troops. The debate in the Chamber of Deputies opened with a very in teresting discussion respecting the retention of Algiers. The French will scarcely be able to keep it. The expense is enormous, and the ad vantage little, if any. M. de CHATEAUBRIAND has declined his intention to become a candidate for Lille. FRENCH FUNDS.—PAnts, APRIL 29.

THE KING V. GRANT AND OTHERS. This was an indictment against the defendants, Messrs. Grant, Bell, and Ager, the proprietors and printers of the True Sun, for publishing a certain seditious libel, in which it was recommended to the people to resist the pay ment of the assessed taxes. The defendants were found guilty at the trial, and they now appeared in Court to re- ceive judgment. The ATTORNEY-GENERAL moved the judgment of the Court upon the defendants. Mr. Justice PATTESON said, that by accident he had not the notes of the trial, but he supposed it was not ma terial, as the publication was not disputed. Affidavits of the three defendants were then put in and read, and also that of Mr. Judge ; they referred to the circumstance of the period when the libel was published—the excitement in the public mind against the assessed taxes—the declaration of Lord Milton, and other members in the House of Commons, that they would, in a certain event, refuse to pay those taxes, and thereby stop the supplies ; the determi nation expressed by Mr. William Brougham, the Lord brother, at a meeting at Southwark, reite rating the same sentiments ; the publication of all those sentiments in all the newspapers, and their being passed over by the law officers of the crown, and stated, also, that in publishing the libel complained of the defendants were not aware of its being any offence, seeing what was passing in the public mind, and what was so openly $ tate d d. The affidavit of the printer, Mr. Ager, state that it was his duty merely to insert what " copy" came to him from the editor, that he had no d iscretion as to its insertion, and that he had now ceased to be in any way connected with the True Sun. Mr. Sergeant TALFOU RD appeared for Mr. Grant , M r. KELLY for Mr. Bell, and Mr. WAKEFIELD for Mr. Ager. Mr. Sergeant TALFOURD then addressed the Court for his client, who, as well as himself, he declared to be fully sensible of the circumstances in which they were placed. They, however, had no desire but duly to conform to the rules of the Court. He did not complain of the verdict, nor of the law as it was laid down by the learned Judge, know ing that the defendants were bound respectfully to await the judgment of the Court. The defendants stood in a situation of having been guilty of a political offence — a species of offence in which the wisest and the best had stood, even those who had paved the way for that power that was now exerted to crush them. In one respect, although their - present situation might give them some cause for grief, they might find much to rejoice in ; for although they had been found guilty by the jury, they were now submitting themselves to the discretion of this court, and asking, under all the circumstances, if their lord ships would find it necessary for the purposes of justice to deal out a sentence of any severity. The offence of political libel, like every other offence, varied in finitely in its own internal character, and also in reference to its external circumstances, at the period of its publication, for that which at one period might disturb the repose and harmony of the public, might at another time be of the most harmless character. He would ask then at what season was the present libel published, and at what season were their Lordships called upon to give judgment on the defendants? Was there any thing to be feared from the " conflict of opinion and the war of words ?" When that was done which might alter the in stitutions of ages, was that a time to talk against and to complain of a little excess of the same kind of spirit? Was that a time when, if a writer went a little forward, and stepped beyond the line that was then being drawn, that he should be prosecuted by the law-officers of the Crown, who were to say, " Tkus far you shall go, and no farther ?" Could not that excess be committed without an appeal to the criminal laws of the country ? That excess was not the sweeping away of the institutions of the coun try—it was only a little quickening of the waters that were then flowing. Was it for this that the ministers, who had so often toasted " the liberty of the press"—but which he trusted they never would toast again—was it for this that prosecutions of this kind should be instituted, and that the Court of King's Bench should be called upon to give judgment on the defendants? He would now advert to the peculiar circumstances under which the libel in question was published. He would present to the Court nothing respecting the hardship or cruelty which might belong to the transaction ; but it was known that, day after day, threats had been used towards one branch of the. Legislature from all quarters, and all of them passed over without prosecutions. It was openly declared that the assessed taxes should be refused to be paid, but it was charged against the defendants that they had advised the means by which that might be done, in order that the I public might obtain redress. It appeared from the affida vits that Mr. William Brougham, a Master in Chancery, and brother to the Lord High Chancellor of England, be fore an assembly whose passions were inflamed, and whose minds were excited, had uttered similar ex pressions ; those expressions were published in the news papers, and no prosecution was instituted. It also appeared that Lord Milton (how Earl Fitzwilliam), a no bleman of the most amiable character, had stated in the House of Commons that he would refuse to pay the assessed taxes ; that was published in all the newspapers, and yet they escaped the notice of the Attorney-General, although the conduct of that nobleman was eulogised as of that of a patriot. Their lordships had therefore to say what degree of moral guilt could be attributed to the de fendants after such great examples were before them, and no notice had been taken of the expressions to which he had alluded. Mr. Justice PATTESON here said he had got his notes of the trial, the publication was merely proved, and the arti cle read, and that was allthe evidence. • Mr. KELLY said he appeared for one of the defendants, Mr. Bell. Mr. Justice PATTESON said the learned counsel appeared on the trial for Mr. Ager. Mr. KELLY said he now appeared•for Mr. tell, and his learned friend Mr. Wakefield appeared for Mr. Ager. He said he hoped to be able to vindicate completely the con duct of his client. It was no longer his duty to say that the defendants were not guilty of a breach of the letter of the law ; indeed no one could doubt that it was a breach of the law ; but the question was, whether this prosecution was called for by any motive of justice, and also whether it would not be the duty of the prosecutor to ask merely for a nominal punishment. He would repeat, that there could be no doubt entertained but that the defendants were guilty of a violation of the strict letter of the law, and the gentleman for whom he appeared through him expressed his contrition to his country, through that Court, for the error that he had been led to commit ; but to the Government who prose- 1 , cuted, and to the Attorney-General who acted for that Government, he felt nothing but scorn, contempt, and defiance. He would then call the attention of the Court to the circumstances under which these libels appeared. The first one, so strongly insisted upon at the trial, appeared at a time when no paper or party paused at giving expres sion to their feelings, however strong—at a time when every paper teemed with language which as much offended the law as that for which the defendants were then on the floor of the Court. The libelwas charged in the indictment as exciting to sedition. He said most fearlessly that such was not the intention of the party for whom he appeared. That libel, though it referred altogether to the House of Commons, was not charged as a libel upon it, and he could easily perceive the reason why that was most carefully avoided. His client belonged to that class of politicians called ultra-radical, who thought of the present House of I Commons much in the same way as the middle party, to whom the Attorney-General belonged, did of the former one ; the only difference was that they did not speak of it in such gross terms of abuse. Had the libel been so charged, the government, the parties now prosecuting, might have had some of their own grossly scurrilous and vituperative language thrown in their teeth. After reading and com menting on the libel, the learned gentleman said the par ties then before the court were to be punished for doing that which Lord Milton had done in a more violent manner before. Surely, if he could prove to the court that the very same crime as that now charged was permitted to pass without censure by the very same government as now pro secuted, and that, too, when particularly brought under their notice while their then law-officers were present, it would not be too much to expect that they would makethat court an instrument for punishing those parties merely because they were weak. He contended, that every per son in the realm had the same right to try and procure the repeal of the assessed taxes, as had Lord Milton or Mr. Wm. Brougham to force the passing of their favourite measure the reform bill. Besides, the crime in the present instance was venial in comparison to theirs, because they com mitted it at a time when there was very great excitement, and of course, much more danger than at the comparatively calm time when the letter in question appeared. The Attorney- General at the trial had said, with great dignity, that if he had heard and could prove that Lord Milton made use of the words imputed to him, he would be unworthy of the situation he had the honour to fill. Let him call to his notice that i n the Times of the 24th May there appeared a paragraph stating these words, and calling upon others to follow such a noble and patriotic example. Why was not that punished ? Because it answered the purpose of the day, and kept the Whigs in power. Another reason might be found in the power of the Times, but the moment the True Sun but faintly echoes such advice, then comes the heavy hand of the government, and crushes them to the earth. He wished to whisper to the Attorney-General that there was yet no statute of limitations for misdemeanors, and he called upon him to dare to bring up the proprietors of the Times for that which no man who read but must at once see was a much graver offence. ' The paragraph was read and commented upon in the House of Commons, and the conduct of Lord Milton censured in the presence of the whole of the cabinet who belonged to it, and also in presence of the then law officers of the crown. The At tory-General said on the trial that the noble lord's conduct had been censured by a minister, but he would ask in what terms that censure was conveyed ? Why, the noble Chancellor of the Exchequer said that many imprudent incidents had taken place, but they were quite natural in times of such great excitement. That was published to the whole kingdom as all that the Cabinet thought of such conduct ; then who could be surprised at people being led to believe that there was no illegality in the matter? Such being the case, others, and more guilty, though more powerful parties, having been allowed to escape, and the parties then before the court having.been led into the error by their very prosecutors, he did not see how, in justice, any thing but a nominal sentence could be passed upon the defendants. With these observations, and with again, in the name of his client, expressing contrition for the offence, but also again hurling his defiance, scorn, and ut most contempt on the government, he would leave the case in the hands of the court. Mr. D. WAKEFIELD said he appeared as counsel for the defendant Ager, and he was glad that his duty was so light, for he was convinced that his learned friend the Attorney-General would, after the expressions of contrition made by his client in his affidavit, and also from the fact of his being now no longer connect ed in any way with the paper in question, be con tented with seeing the defendant on the floor of the house, and not call him up for judgment. He did expect that the more readily, as lately at the Old Bailey the counsel for the prosecution of Mr. Savory declined to address the jury, because a bill was then before Parliament allowing it also to prisoners to make their defence by counsel, so he trusted that, as there was now a bill for alter ing the law of libel, in which it was proposed to insert a clause prohibiting any proceedings from being had against the mere printer of a libel, the Attorney-General would take the same view of the case, and let his client, who was morally entirely innocent, escape. The ATTORNEY-GENERAL then rose to address the Court in aggravation of punishment. It was impossible to accede to the proposition of Mr. Wakefield, that in all cases the printer ought to be exempt, but without acced ing to that doctrine, he would at once state that it was not his intention, considering the circumstances Ager had been placed in, to press against him for more than nominal punishment. He had sworn that he was entirely ig norant of the publication before it was issued to the public, that he had ceased to have any connection with the newspaper, and had expressed an unqualified regret that he had been the instrument of issuing the publication. He (the Attorney-General) would have felt most peculiar pleasure if a similar tone had been adopted by the other defendants, and that with regard to them in the discharge of his duty, he could have made a similar concession ; but they had treated the Government with scorn and defiance, and Mr. Kelly, who was counsel for Mr. Ager at the trial, and who laboured with the greatest vigour to show that the publication was lawful, and that no offence had been committed, being counsel for Mr. Bell, had taken upon himself to treat the Government with the same scorn and defiance, and had stated that they h a d been g uilty of injustice. He (the Attorney-General. therefore, instead of being the accuser, was in the situation of the accused, and now stood upon his trial. i He might h a ve said, had he been so disposed , that he did not insti tute the present prosecution, that i t had been instituted by his predecessor ; but he scorned such subterfuge, and took upon himself the full responsibility of the prosecution, thinking he should be guilty of a gross dereliction of duty if he did not commend and support it. He was charged wish injustice and oppression, and was threatened with the opinion of the present age and posterity. To such a charge he pleaded not guilty, and was willing to throw himself for his defence upon his God and his country. What was the nature of the present publication, and what were the grounds on which the present prosecution was brought forward? The prosecution had not been in stituted for any matter of opinion, for any discussion or vituperation, or for any intention to vilify the House of Commons ; it was not for any expression of opinions as to party, but because it openly ex horted the people to disobey the law, and called on the King's subjects, not only to pay no .taxes, but to supersede the government that hail been established. The publica tion called upon the people to recall from the House of Commons the trust they had reposed in them, and to take the government in their own hands. This was directly leading to seduction and rebellion ; and if such doe trines were allowed to be promulgated, and the law openly set at defiance, nothing but disturb ance, riot, confusion, and anarchy, would follow. Mr. Bell, one of the defendants, had, upon the trial, stated t h a t the situation of the country was at the present time a s bad as it could be under anarchy, and therefore the just i n terpretation of the publication in question was a-recom mendation to the people of as dangerous a nature as he had stated. Such doctrines would lead to the extinction o f liberty, and render the common law a dead letter, unless it was put in force. He need not remind the Court to what a state Ireland had been brought by the promulgation of similar doctrines, and of the course that had been pursued by Government to restrain its effects. The Coercion Bill passed, which was the only measure that could ensure liberty and the preservation of property in Ireland. But they were told that this was mere passive resistance, If it was, nothing was more cowardly ; but it went much further ; it was a direct excitement to open rebellion. The circumstances under which the pub lication was put forth, were circumstances -which called loudly for the present prosecution, and deter , mined his Majesty's law-officers to adopt it. At the time Ithe present information was filed there were associations formed—there was resistance to the payment of taxes, and great danger of bloodshed—the payment of taxes was not only passively, but most actively resisted. Serious riots and disturbances took place—large bodies of the police were em ployed, and had the military been called out bloodshed might have ensued. All this was to be ascribed to these publications. It became necessary, therefore, to vindicate the law, and to call before the court those who had advised the forma tion of those associations. Now the court had been told that Mr:William Brougham, in addressing his constituents in Southwark, had used expressions of which the law officers of the crown ought to have taken notice The LORD CHIEF JUSTICE—It does not appear that Mr. Brougham was a candidate at the time. I believe he was a member addressing his constituents. The ATTORNEY- GENERAL said that he believed that was the case ; but supposing him to be a candidate, he (the Attorney-General) should always be inclined, and so would every thinking man, to lank upon expressions made use of at such a period, with great forbearance. Was it true that Mr. Wm. Brougham desired to super sede the government? Did he desire the people to take the sovereignty into their own hands ? No such thing. He (the Attorney-General) could find no precedent in the history of this country, where any government prosecu tion had taken place for what had been said by a repre sentative, in giving an account of his conduct to his constituents. Next, with respect to Lord Milton, a nobleman who had endeared himself to every class of the community, ht (the Attorney-General) should like to know what the nature of the information filed against him should be. That noble lord was sup posed, when the tax-gatherer called upon him, to have declined paying the taxes, and upon being called upon in the House of Commons, he made that statement for which it was said he ought to have been prosecuted. Now, with respect to what was stated in the House of Commons, every body must know that it was no subject for a cri minal prosecution. At the time that statement was made, Lord Althorp stated his disapproval of it, and it would have been a waste of time for any other member of the government to have made any further statement upon the subject. But then they were told that expressions had been used by Mr. Hume and Mr. Gillon and they had been taken no notice of. With respect to them he had only to say what he had observed relative to the statements of Lord Milton. But then the great gravamen against the government was that they did not prosecute the newspapers which were the first to pub lish those statements. He hoped that the time would never arrive when prosecutions should take place for the publication of reports of what bona fide took place in the House of Commons. That, indeed, would be an attack upon the liberty of the press. He trusted that, in such in stances, the strict rule of the law of libel would never be applied ; and he hoped that several anomalies in that law would be altered for the benefit of the public, and that the shade which it at present cast over the statutes of this country would be taken away. The arguments that he had stated, however, did not apply to publications put forth avowedly for the purpose of disturbing the peace of the country, and exciting the people to open acts of rebellion. In his opinion, the law officers of the Crown would have betrayed their trust, and have acted in the most cowardly manner, had they not instituted the present prosecution, which had been brought forward at a time when the publication in question had excited the minds of the lower orders of the country. It was neces sary that the law should be put in force, and for that pur pose his Majesty's government had placed the de fendants before a jury of their country. No complaint whatever was made of the conduct of the jury on that occasion, or of the summing up of the learned judge, and under such circumstances it was, the defendants having been found guilty, that they were brought up for the judgment of the Court. lie(the At torney-General), so far from speaking in aggravation of punishment, would implore their lordships to pro nounce the mildest sentence the Court, in their judgment, consistent with the public safety, could. The duty he had to discharge was a painful one ; but he never would shrink from the performance of it. With respect to what had been stated that he had said with reference to Lord Milton he would again repeat : If Lord Milton, or any peer of the realm, should issue into the world such a publication as that for which the defendants had been convicted, he should con sider that he would be disgracing himself and the station which he held, if he did not bring them before a jury of their country. His duty, under such circumstances, he pledged himself to perform. For himself (as At torney-General) he should consider it a great felicity and of if he was never called upon to exercise the p ower which belonged to his office, and he shoul d re j oice g reatl y if at country from to the latest ages,hargthe time of giving up that office to his successor he could say that not a single ex-officio information had been placed on the files of the Court by him. He never w o uld, how ever, ry the as he had institutions said before , o f t h e shrink fm the dise his duty, in performing which his only object was to pre serve render the laws respected and obeyed by all 1 c asses of the community. Mr. Justice LITTLEDALE (after the Judges had con sulted together) delivered the judgment of the Court. The defendants, he said, had been found guilty of publish ing in the True Sun newspaper of the Ist of May, a libel which was calculated to stir up and excite discontent and sedition amongst his Majesty's subjects, by resisting the execution of the law, and resisting the levying of. taxes which had been fixed by law. They were also charged in another count with inserting two other paragraphs on the 2d of May, of a similar dangerous ten dency. It appeared on the trial, that Patrick Grant and John Bell were the proprietors of the True Sun, and that John Ager was the printer only. On the present occasion none of them complained of the verdict, or of the direction of the learned Judge who presided at the trial, and the Court had no doubt but that verdict was correct, and also that the pub lications in question had a most dangerous and mis chievous tendency; but the defendants said, that under the peculiar circumstances they ought not to suffer a severe punishment, because the conduct of others was as bad, or nearly so, as their own, and that no prosecution had been instituted by the Government against those persons for the expressions which they had used, nor against the editors of the newspapers in which the expressions were published. The individuals alluded to in the affidavits as having used those expressions, were Lord Milton, Mr. Wm. Brougham, Mr. Wood, and Mr. Gillon. Now, as to what those persons might have said in Parliament, the Government could not institute a prose cution against them ; and as to what Mr. Brougham said at a meeting of his constituents, although no prosecu tion had been commenced ag ainst him, yet it was alleged that prosecutions could have been brought against the newspapers, and that therefore the Go vernment had put the defendants in a situation in which they thought they were justified in publishing what they did. The defendants in their affidavits said they were not the authors of the libel, and that at the time of publishing it they had a right to do so, alleging as a reason that certain expressions had been used by Lord Fitzwilliam, Mr. Brougham, Mr. Wood, and Mr. Gillon, respecting whom there had been no prosecution, either against the speakers or against the newspapers. As to the discretion exercised by the Government, this Court could not inquire into it, and had nothing whatever to do with it. The defendants were brought before the Court, and admitted having committed a breach of the law. How ever, under all the circumstances, although persons should not be permitted with impunity to put forth such libels, the Court were not disposed to deal with any severity to wards the defendants, particularly as this was the first time for a considerable period that such a case had come before them. The sentence of the Court, therefore, was, that the defendants Patrick Grant and John Bell be committed to the custody of the Marshal of the Marshalsea of this Court for three months, to be computed from the expira tion of their present imprisonment. They had been com mitted for a former offence on the 30th January for six months, and that term would expire on the 30th July. With regard to the defendant Ager, it appeared by his affidavit that he had no opportunity in his capacity of printer of preventing the publication, and as the Attor ney-General did not press the case against him, the sentence of the Court was, that he pay a fine to the King of 205., and be imprisoned until it be paid. The defendants Grant and Bell were then removed in custody, and the defendant Ager paid his fine and left the Court. A GENERAL STRIKE.-The washerwomen have not escaped the system of striking. On Tues day last not less than seventy of this useful class of females struck at Kensington for higher wages. It appears that 2s . 6d. per diem, and two half pints of beer, have been the regular scale of wages, but a revolt was agreed upon, and the price to be demanded fixed at 3s. per diem, and the usual beer allowance. After a considerable time had been occupied in par leying, as to terms, the washerwomen gained their point, and after taking copious libations of gin, re turned the following day to their tubs as usual. A good deal of interest was occasioned in Kensington by this singular occurrence.—Morning Advertiser. The first attempt to navigate the new Niver nais canal was made on the 23d of April, when a boat heavily laden, and having on board 105 persons, amongst whom were the Sub-Prefect of Clamecy, the Presidents of the Civil and Commercial Tribunals, the Procureur du Roi, the Inspector of Navigation , and other functionaries, • proceeded to one of the wharfs of the Yonne.

Mr. C. FERGUSSON concurred in th e p ra y er of the last petition, and expressed it as his opini on that the in-_ crease of dissenters was owing to the present system of church patronage. With respect to the cas e of the Poles, he was sure that those unfortunate, but most glorious me_n; were advancing in the good opinion, and obtaining the 1 sympathy on the part of the people. He trustea 1 that his Majesty's government would allow that house to come to a free opinion upon that subject. ai Mr. HUME expressed a hope that as Monday was pointed to take the subject of the state of the church consideration, that hon. members would come prepared present their petitions upon the subject. Colonel EVANS expressed his deep sympathy in ' fate of the Poles, and expressed a hope that the goverir ment would take some means to rescue them from their present distress and destitution. The petitions were ordered to lie on the table. Captain WEMYS presented a petition from Fif , on the subject of church patronage, and from other , in Scotland, praying for the extension of relief to the senters. Mr. WILKS presented a petition from the Dissenti-it, of Sandback, praying for relief from their grievances' , said that the Dissenters of all denominations in this Tor polls had expressed their discontent with the bill that • been brought into the house upon this subject. He _Ac° sidered that the Dissenters had been thrown overboa7 the Government, and had been treated with ingrati.,tit and injustice. They had a right to expect relief ; the miserable and paltry measure of his Majesty's Gev er d. ment was no relief, but rather an insult to their under?tan ings. The measure was not satisfactory to any portion the Dissenters. And he hoped that the public expressic to discontent and regret would induce the Governm ent withdraw their measure, and introduce one of a more e" ..... , tended and satisfactory nature. Mr. WASON supported the prayer of the petition, which was then ordered to lie on the table. , and Mr. WILKS presented similar petitions from !W e l f,. and Verwood, Dorsetshire ; Dudley and Tarn Worth, '' 3 h fordshire ; Saffron Walden, Essex ; and from the We is and English baptists, Eldon-street, London. , The Mr. F.
