If it be urged, as I have heard it insinuated, that the Unitarians who do impugn the Holy Trinity, are still punish able:at- common law, this statute notwithstanding, I eat why is it not•done ? There is not the Judge in England who would disgrace his 'sacred office by suffering such a question to be mooted, and, the mere pretence without the power, betrays the mi serable vanity of defeated malice—it is the venom of a serpent that bath lost its sting—that would but cannot; it savours of the genius of Spain and of the Inquisition : not of England, nor of England's ornament, a Tenterden. Now, 'gentlemen, hear a demonstration as clear as the multiplication table. If the doctrine of the Holy Trinity be not the very sum and essential substance, the totems ,illud, the every thing of Christianity, I defy the wit of man to give us a definition of what Christianity is. And if to hive liberty to impugn that :doctrine—that is literally to fight agairist it, to revile it as much as you can revile it, to deny it to be true, and con sequently to deny all consequences and - corollaries of it, is not to have all the liberty a man could wish, and all he could avail himielf of if he wished, there can. be no possibility of defining what liberty is, and a man .may be told he has it t 0414, and be trapped into a pretended trespass to-morrow. An unbaptized person, you very well know, is not a Christian. All' Christians are baptized in the name of the Holy Trinity—all edicts, 'ukases; and trea ties of • Christian States, are promulgated in the name of 'the Holy Trinity—the division. of the law terms, and all public acts, of this country, re cognize the festival of the Holy Trinity. So that to make it penal to impugn Christianity, after it has, ceased to be penal' to impugn the Holy Trinity, is entirely to ',have altered the nature of Christianity : it is to declare the doctrine of the Trinity to be no longer the Christian doctrine, or Christianity to be of no earlier date than the 53d of 1 Geo. III.; or rather, it is not Christianity, but. Unitarianism, that has beconie part and parcel of the law of the land, and 'God knows the worst part of it. For could this act of the 53d of George 111., I ask, if it had specifically intended the entire abolition of all pretence to prosecute unbelievers, without intend ing the abolition of Christianity itself, have marked that intention more distinctively ? Hath the Uni tarian liberty to deny the divinity *of Christ, and 'lave not I liberty to deny his humanity ? Is it. lawful for them to maintain, and teach, that he whom the Christian Creed sets forth as God of God, Light of Light, Very God of Very God, ,was no God at all, but a mere Jew—a slave—a .beggar— the base-born son of a Galilean peasant, and not lawful for me, shuddering at such blasphemy as I do, to maintain that he who was only such an one, might be any thing that any man might call him ? The shield which, covers the Unitarian blasphemer must be broad enough to cover me, for to charge me with taking any greater licence than that which is by this act of the 53d of Geo. 111. legalized to them, is to charge me with downright impossibilities.. I have certainly not blasphemed more than the Unita rians do—if it were only for . : this • sufficient. reason, that I could not if I tried. But taking this Act of the 53d of Geo. 111., .to repeal the statute of the 9th and 10th of William 111., only so far as to relieve persons impugning the Holy Trinity, but leaving those Who impugn Christianity with a more honourable hostility, as liable to prosecution as ever, though this distinction, without a difference, bath as little of justice as of logic in it, I'll stand the issue, even upon this reckoning, and claim no further favour than, if I am to he convicted, that I may have the benefit of being so upon some certain definitive statute law, the prohibitions and penalties of which might have been known beforehand and sa avoided, and that I may not be trepanned upon a mere ipse digit of pretended common law, which may sleep like the couchant tiger, in the Judge's breast, ready to pounce on the most innocent, and sacrifice the most virtuous man in society !--a principle which once established, the name of law would be but another name for the most galling yoke of tyranny that was ever imposed upon the necks of an insulted people ; for it would always be in the power of any tyrannical bigot on that bench (his Lordship will • not for a moment think that I mean this offensively, but it is a power which no wise man would wish, and no good man hold,)—under pretext of something so measurelessly vague and undefined as common law, to grasp a power to punish whomtoever he might please,—to make himself sole autocrat of :the nation— " His wont the law, and he, the Lord of all," Gentlemen, " opinion is not law," do me hitt justice to remember that great principle. " Opinion is mot law ;" neither the Judge's opinion, ner any opinion of learned or unlearned men which he may quote, bath claim tb a straw's weight in the scale of justice. Should an innocent man, by your verdict, be subjected to punishment, each and every one of you in particular, will have brought the whole and undivided weight .of that crime upon his own con science. Gentlemen, by the Ist of James 1., cap. 12., which is quite rational as any pretext, either of statute or common law, that can be brought against me, his Lord ship may probably recollect it was expressly enacted that " any person invoking an evil spirit, or consulting, cove nanting with, entertaining, employing, or feeding 'any evil spirit, was to be guilty of felony without benefit of clergy, and suffer death." Now as a rational jury, ere they gave a verdict against a man for feeding a spirit, would first in quire what a spirit was like, and what sort of food the stomach of a spirit would digest, shall not you, in like manner, when I am charged in this indictment with putting dishonour upon God, inquire how it could he done, or what notion of the Supreme Being they would have us form, who suppose him to be liable to such an injury as I could have power to' commit, or you have right to , punish? As a public lecturer on the noble sciences of Astronomy an d Ph y siolo gy , and after minuctheog hof lo nty life expended in deep and labo riouses i c al criticism and biblical litera ture,agrea rtceedre7tarl t certain convictions v ietions have f o r ced themselves u p on my mind, which would have fo rced themselves u p on an y other mind, equally capable , equ ally curious, and equally-con scientious as mine. Nor would his Lordship, nor. any of yourselves, have it in your power to be of different opinion from mine, had your mind expatiated over the same field of inquiry, and been formed like mine, to be determined by the result of that inquiry. Am I to unread what I hive read, to unlearn what I have :learned, and unknow my knowledge ? Can I erase the inscriptions from the tablet of my memory, and make nay faith obedient to my will Show me how to do it, gentlemen, and I shall no more offend you by denying the reality of miracles. But practice not on me alone, while there are thousands in this falsely dlca.nificll.reuedsaesd, and mindsChristianing country-and b ounte u ry c — it a i n v d ated, if literature and science be there will be every day thousands--as far from being Christians as I era, differing from one in nothing but not in having honesty to avow, and fortitude to brave, the consequenc4 of avowing it. But judge yo tt , Whether it be a conquest worth the winning, to • BUbUni•aad,suppress the expression of senti ment inu t haeth eradicate,pyouromoca.nteanetrer.prevce of i or. whether' you shall hpneur, honesty, and truth among men, .by makin g; hypocrites where you could:not make converts, sad by enfoteing from the tongue a cold consent to what the heart abhors. Yes, after all, gentlemen, if I am really in grievous error (as who, of woman born, can be sure that Le .4, not), I our so far from any principle of obduracy or obstina c y in that error, that you never in your lives beheld a man so glad to correct his errors. If there be, in any of .my orations or writings published, or in process of publication, a single fallacy of reasoning or falsehood of statement—if there be " One line which dying I should wish to blot," I shall hold•that man among my dearest friends who shall point it out. Gentlemen, I have now only to entreat you, ' as wise and good men, to be faithful to your own convic tions, and to the high and sacred trust which your country .reposes in your hands.. Let not the alleged opinions of a Hawkins,:a Blackstone, or a Coke, or the sanctified stupi dity who sacrificed aged women to the w ild conceit of Judgeof Hale, aharbarus fanaticism, away you from the direc tion of your own better feelings and better judgment.— Allow me rather to remind you of one (I do it respect fully), the perfect resemblance of whose case to mine would insure my acquittal, if Christians would but reverence their own professions, for it was of Him that the elders of the city said, " Jae bath spoken blasphemy," that the people said, " let him be crucified,. but Pilate said, why what evil bath he done ?" And. why, I ask; gentlemen, what' evil have I done? why sho u ld I be cruCifled why should my country seem' to sanction the' cruelties . which private fanaticiim hatly already inflicted upon Me ? why'must I be' cut off from the cheerful ways of men, have my spirits broken with vexation, and in the Meridian of my lifr's usefulness, be condemned to pine away iu the horrors of captivity ? Only divest yourselves of that partiality to your . own * religious persuasions which you would feel iu be utterly subversive of justice if it operated an the 611* We of A faith Pectly opposed to yours do a.s you : Would, be "done:Mito . ; reason for me as I would i - eason and entreat for you if you stood at the bar of some savage Saraeri, who might look on you and your religious per -nasions with as little charity as my persecutors bear to me, " Strip black oppression of her deep tlisguise, " And bid the hag in native horror rise," - ' - and you shall see her through every stage of thiS barbarous persecution waging her horrid war against sincerity and ' truth. Of my sincerity and truth I gave the world a proof, when, nine or ten years ago, when my present Deistical con viction first 'took possession of my mind, I resigned my preferment and expectations in the Church, because I would, not receive what I considered to be the wages of iniquity— because I would not preach to others what I had ceased to believe myself. Shall Abe meanest peasant in the king dona—the most illiterate, barbarous hind, in doating age, Or driVelling idiotcy, obtain the magistrate's licence to go a-preaching, and a man of education, be denied that pri vilege. Will rational creatures say that this is justice, or that a religion can possibly 'be true that hath need to be defended by such, a policy? I have valued What I hold to be truth above all things; I have sought it more than my necessary food, and loved it with a perfect love. Had I been that bad man which my enemies represent me to be, I should never have fallen under the power of their hostility, for I might at this day, by a very facile hypocrisy, have held high rank in , :?re church, whose holy orders I still hold, and to whose, highest dignities I am still eligible ; and that very ability which my enemies view iu me only as an argument to call for heavier punishment, would, in another direction, have seated rue in the stall of a Cathedral, from whence, like another Leo X., I might have buckled over. ." The fable, that brings grist to the miller, grasped the rich harvest of successful fraud, and laughed at those who pay to he de-, eeived, and like them best that do it best." But the motive of my infidelity was the most ardent piety. I fear God, and therefore I dare not be a Christian, because Chris tianity sterns to me to be unworthy of him ; I see enough in its doctrines to startle my apprehension, but not enough in its evidence to 'reconcile my reason. Gentlemen, I have shown you that the societies 'for the suppression of which this prosecution has been instituted, are blameless and inoffensive. I have shown you that the pretended evidence brought befbre you• has wholly failed; I have shown you that, even if the evidence had been re spectable, which it is not, this prosecution is untenable on Christian grounds, untenable on moral grounds, untenable on legal grounds, untenable on any grounds whatever but those of the ascendancy of might over right,—of rampant -hypocrisy over prostrate innocence. Therefore, gentlemen, with the modest confidence of a man who never intended offence to any one, nor would, for the world's wealth, per - sist in any mode of ronduct that could be offensive to so ciety, or wound the feelings of a single virtuous man in it, I ask you to deliver me now from the power of all judg, merit but that to which every individual in this Court is as responsible as I am. Gentlemen, in God's most holy name, I am not guilty. Mr. Taylor haVing finished, Lord TENTEILDEN, in addressing the Jury, observed, that the defendant was not charged for any 'opinion he might entertain. The right of private judgment was not forbidden by the law of England ; and however injeriods any opinion was to the interests of society, so loirg as a man kept that opinion to himself, he was not amenable. All that the defendant had said relative to his own opinions did not relate to the case. An accusation 'for those opinions could not be preferred before a court of common law; al though at one period of our history,' after the judgment of the Ecclesiastical Court, a writ de heretico comburendo might have proceeded from the other Courts. The charge preferred was, that the defendant, endeavouring to bring the Christian religion into disbelief and contempt, did un lawfully,. wickedly, and blasphemously hold a public die course concerning, amongst other things, our Lord and Sa viour Jesus Christ, and did then and there declare and utter the several sentences stated by the witness. His Lordship here recapitulated some'of them, and asked, war it proper that persons admitted for a shilling a head should go to such a place to discuss the truth of the Chris.- tian religion ? It would be for the Jury to decide whether it was proved to their satisfaction that the de fendant uttered the words alleged. If he uttered them as sentences not proper to be approved, but as part of what he meant to expose and refute, they would' not find him, guilty: but if they were uttered with the view of obtaining the approbation and assent of those who heard him, he was an offender against the law: It would he a derelection of his duty, if he forebore to state to the jury, that the Christian religion being a part of the established law, was entitled to the protection of the law, in the same measure and degree as any other civil right. It had been said, that the 11th William 111., relating to persons im punging the doctrine of the Holy Trinity, repealed the common law, and that since that act - blasphemy could be no offence against the common law; and 'that statute hav ing been repealed by the 53d of the late Kink, it was ar gued that blisplaemy.wits not now an offence either by sta tute or common Jaw. But the statute of William 111., like any other statute passed for the puipose of inflicting any particular and special punishment upon that which . was an offence before, never was, and never could be, held to abelisb the punishment of the common law. On many statutes there had been prosecutions, nod sometimes the prosecutors had resorted to the common law. The repeal of the 11th William 111. by the 53d George HI. had left the common law just where it was befo re the statute of K. William. Having made these few observations, his Lord ship said4re would riow direct the attention of the jury to the evidence. The witness (Collins) was not a man of li terature; but was, as he thought all the jury must have seen, a man of plain common sense; he professed to giVe only a few sentences out of a long oration. .If those words were uttered for tile purpose of refutsilion, or if the jury should think the witness had not sufficient intelligence' to lay before them the intention with which they were uttered (though it did net require much learning to do that), still they would bear in mind that, as the sentences were spoken in the hearing of a great number of persons, any of those persons might have been called by the defendant, and have given an explanation of the manner in which they were used. The question was, whether it was made out to the satisfaction of the jury, that,the words were spoken with a design to' bring the Christian religion into disbelief; for if so delivered in such an assembly, hisrLordship gave it as Ilia opinion that it was an offence against the law. , The jury would discharge their duty according to their own sound' and 'sober judgment, unawed by any thing they had heard from the defendant or his Lordship. The Jury retired for !about half an hour, an d, at fi ve minutes; bef ore f ou r • o'clock, returned into Court with a verdict of " Guilty." Mr. Taylor, in delivering his defence, had at intervals recourse:to a written copy of it, which was held by one of his friends. His voice was clear and loud-?.... not unlike Mr. C. 'Xemble's—and his action rather redundant. He twice. stopped to request there Might : be silence, as his • sense of hearing was so very acute, that he could not help hearing whatever was said, in 'however lOw * a tone it might be uttered, and he feared his attention would be distracted. His appearance was peculiar.... He was arrayed in the flowing gown of a Clergyman ; his neat clerical hat was 'Conspicuously borne in his hand, an 4e-glais depended from his neck, and the little finger of either hand was or namented with a sumptuous ring. His hair was arranged in the most fashionable style, and a pair of light kid g l oves Completed the el egan t decoration's of person; After he had concluded 'his defence,' there was some attempt at cheering from a few individuats.at the end of the Court, but it 'was immediately cheCked. • The new Assenibly Room, at Alnwiek, was opened on Fridaylast for the first time, for the usual Grand Ball, at the Michaelmas Sessions. The accommo dation gave great satisfaction to a numerous and brilliant party. Amongst the company were their Graces the Duke and Duchess of Northumberland, Lord and Lady Ilaveasworth, the • Hon. H. T. Liddell, M.P. and Lady, 111.. Bell, Esq. M.P. and Lady, the High Sheriff of the Counti (Dixon Dixon, Esq.) and Lady, &c. &c. According to letters from the North this 'morning, it has rained almost incessantly since Friday last, with strong gales from the Eastward, There has been such a high surf on Tynemouth Bar, for the last five or six days, that no vessel has dared to put to sea. The 'Superb steam-boat, which was to here sailed for London with passengers, on Sunday laic, is still detained at Shields ; and it'is reported, this afternoon, that the passengers, 21 in number; have all quitted the vessel, despairing of their: getting 'away in any, reasonable, time: On Thursday niaht, about twelve o'clock, in the stillness which folloWed a fresh breeze from the north, the atmoßphere being thick and suffocating, the master of the Drogheda steam-packet, plying between Cork awl Bristol, saw a column of fire about the height and thick ness of the vessel's tunnel descend into the water, appa rently at the distance of three ships' lengths from his own. Long as he:has been at sea, he says he never before wit nessed such a phenomenon. It illuminated the entire ves sel, and disappeared without any explosion, or producing any atroosphei lc effect perceptible to the senses. E". .

Nothing certain -of the intention of the Porte is commu nicated' by either of these channels,, but all con vey 'reports of a pacific character: The latest . . advices mention a report in circulation at Con stantinople on the 28th of September, that the Porte had resolved to send the • Greek Patriarch to the Morea to negotiate with the Greets, and that the Ministers of France, Russia, and Ungland % considered that step as the first concession in this affair. It ap pears also that the Prussian Minister and the Austrian Internuncio had given the REIS ER FEND! some conciliatory advice. This was pro bably the first effect of the intelligence of the blockade of the Egyptian fleet by. the British and French squadrons, and of the determination expressed by the AdmiralS commanding them to destroy the whole expedition, if any operations were attempted. As for the report mentioned as being in circulation on the 25th , at. Constar tinople, that 113 RA had agreed to an armistice, we know that could not have any foundation, as the last despatches from Sir EDINA ri b CO DRINGT(* came doWn to the 25th of September, and left matters in the same state as the former adiiices, waiting the result of IBRAllim's com munication with the Porte. . • The accounts from Spain continue to. be .favourable. Rebellion is disappearing by degrees, though it still occasionally shews itself in fresh , directions. Between 2000 and 3000 stand of arms have been given up at Manresa ; the Royal Army advances rapidly, and the siege,of Girpna has been 'raised by the Rebels. The Queen of SPAIN was to leave Madrid on the 16th for Valencia. One report, indeed, mentions that her MAJESTY had actually set out for Saragossa. Extracts of these Papers are given in another column, and we subjoin the price of theFunda• on Monday, which had improved in consequence of the pacific reports from Constantinople.

Dutch Papers to the 23d inst. reached us last night; they contain the substance of the Speech of the Minister of Finance, explaining the Revenue and Expenditure of the Kingdom. The Revenue of the Netherlands appears to have been considerably 'increased daring the last year by the augmentation of the, import, export, and transit duties. The sum' appropriated to wards the liquidation of debt in'the year 1828 is 2,600,000 florins. We have given, extracts from these papers in a preceding column. Frankfort Papers of the Nth inst. have been received this morning. They are barren of poli tical news, although they contain a paragraph from Odessa to the 30th September. Count WonoNzow was expected there in the middle of November. EXCHANGES ow LownoN.—Two months, 1484. • 4. Gibraltar. Papers to the -, 4th inst. have been received, from which we learn that two or three days prior to that date the three SpanishMisti 'coes that seized the Lord Rawdon some time since, accompanied by their tenders, .had taken up their former Cruising ground in the Bay, firing at, and overhauling or boarding, the vesselS going out or coming into that port. • The Spanish brig of war, Mal:zonal-Pi?, which sa iled from Cadiz, with . sealed orders,: in conse quence of an express from Madrid, went to the eastward, either,to TarragOna' or to Barcelona; and the French frigate — which was at anchor a few 'days ago, off Algeciras, was suddenly ordered to the eastward al so . With resp ec t to the first part of this intelli gence, it caused a considerable sensation at Lloyd's, and it is alleged that thought this ex traordinary conduct will ealllor some explanation from the • Spanish Government, :it may also be hoped, if a simila r i ns t an ce . should occur to that of the, Lo r d R aw d on , ' t h at th e garrison will show more from such o u t rage an d i ns ul t . vigilance 'to protect the British flag 'The trial of the .comparative merits of the ships composing what has been called the Ex perimental Squadron having terminated, Rear- Admiral Sir THOMAS M. HARDY has struck his flag and come on shore. The ships are refitting with all expedition, and our Portsmouth letter of this morning states that orders have been received for their all being out of harbour and ready for sea on Sunday. It was supposed at Portsmouth that these ships are to accon tpany his Royal Highness the LOAD , HIGH A,Di tißm. as far as Plymouth (for which pert his Royal highness will einbark on Sunday in the Galatea), to afford his Royal Highness an opportunity of personally observing their re lative qualities. Report added that they would receive their final orders off Plymouth, and im mediately proceed to their respective destinations. SHIPPING INTELLIGENCE—(THIS bAY.) FROII LLOYD'S.

This city has .been in a great commotion this entire morning, owing to•the ." active" exertions of our new . Lord Mayor, (Alderman Nngent), who at an early :lour attacked the standings and shops of the venders of meat, bread,:and 'vegetables to the poar. His Lordship ha% de- . clared 'that the sabbath day shall'mit be prophaned, by the poor artiean purchasing a dinner for his family. Certainly this may he very moral on the part of the Lord Mayor,- but it is at the came time very mischievous; for if the poor cannot.eat, they must drink, and ft is probable that the watch-houses, this evening, will be filled with miserable beings, who will have expended on whiskey, what they tended for the comfortable provision of their families. It has been an immemorial custom in this city, to permit the poor to purchase provisions, up , to ten o'clock in the morn ing, when, if the shops were not closed, and the stalls re moved, the owners of them . were severeli'fined by the Police Magistrates. The reason of permitting this custom was, that tradesmen and labourers are never paid by their employers until a late hour on Saturday night—ten o'clock, I believe, is the earlieit hour—the poor, then, can only pro vide themselves on Sunday mornings ; now if our new Lord Mayor had first obliged the masters to pay those in their employment on Friday, he would have not the slightest trouble in " keeping the sabbath day holy ;" but as it is, he must cause much more sin than be can prevent, which , must be any thing but a comfortable reflection for a virt uous magistrate. In the Catholic Association, yesterday, an occurrence of rather an unusual nature took place—its proceedings were '- attended by three officers in, his Majesty's service, in full .•• uniform, This was rather an interesting spectacle to our young and blooming Catholic ladies 'in the •' gallt , The report was a fal se one, and belieVe the- y. . e officers were, I believe, attracted- te the'Ass oc ia t i on; from a Wish to Mr. O'Connell, who it W as r e ported .in one n. the morning papers was in Dublin, and' would attend th e Association. officers were much disappointed, for there was not any thing like a debate, nor even "a speech;" except the' expo- • • sure made by Mr. O'Dwyer of the • frauds committed by the Irish Society upon the credulity of the English. 111 my opinion these frauds have been very,great. A cler gyman Whom I met some shOrt time Bince, pledged himself that in his county, where it wan said . there was a great number of schools and scholars, he never could find • (although he Made many inquiries) either one or otAer f. • The amount of rent collected for the week was 71. Yon have, I suppose, some recollection of the extraor dinary, affair which look 'place between Major Ekewortli and our represent a ti ve , Mr. Grattan, and the determination of the latter to brin g the nui tter . before the King's Bench ! must This business bav:epa yet, I am told, in addi tion to the proceedings taken against Major Eilgewaytit and his second, lie purposes prosecuting one of the papers that inserted that gentleman's "advertisement," for , a libel ! I trust that Mr. Grattan will not, for his own sak e , per se of a newspaper, andd you that Mr. G ra tta n . is a proprietor 'severe' in such a course. The curions affair rerpecting the billetting of eoldierr, which you noticed in Friday's SUN, will be again discussed at Henry-street Police-office tomorrow, when the Lo Mayor purposes to appear, in defence of his High Constable, Mr. Dooley. In fact, the matter is completely a struggle between the law and the Corporation, in whi c h , j,am c 0..; twin; the former must conquer : ; but of which I should have very serious doubts if the place of GoOlburri not occupied by Mr. Lambe. • On Tuesday .the 16th inst., her Grace the Duchess of Goanox arrived at Gordon.
