We had heavy rain here yeAterday from noon till about S in the evening , accompanied by a viol-nt gale wind from S W., in consequence of which the drives and promenades were completely deserted. Their Majesties were not in public yesterday. The King gave audience to M. Lichtenberg, Secretary to the Hano • verian Minister. The following persons were of the Royal dinner party last evening :—The Princess Augusta, Sir William and Lady Fremantle, Miss Hervey, Miss Bathurst, Captain Fremantle, M.

It was attended by the Lord Chancellor, Mr. Justice Parke, Mr. Justice Bosanquet, the Judge of the Prerogative Court, the Chief Judge of the Bankruptcy Court, and the Vice Chancellor. The Lord Chancellor, on the part t f their Lordships, gave judgment in the appeal Pownall v. Mascall (Antigua), reversing the decision of the Court below, on the ground that the writ of error had been improperly quashed, and the bill of exceptions had been improperly taken off the file. The bill of exceptions must, therefore, be allowed to lite notes of the Chief Justice. A motion (ex paste) was math in the case Nollings v. Winsioe (P.inee Edward's Island). Mr. Pemberton and Mr. Burge addressed their Lord ships on an appeal, Smith v. Ure (Grenada). The Attor ney-General was heard in a cross appeal, Ure v. Smith. The principal question in dispute was, whether a party in certain commercial transactions in which he had been engaged, bad acted on the pat of a firm of which he was a member, or siroWy fur his individual bent fit.

Sir Robert and his Lady will remain in Privy G irdens a few days, and then return to Staffordshire for the Christmas recess. The Queen, in all her domestic arrangements and regulations, exhibits a laudable example to all persons of rank and fashion. Her time is never dissipated in frivo lous pursuits, but is devoted to usefulness when disen gaged from the company that is generally inseparable from the Royal station. Throughout the palace her .Nla jrsty inculcates the practice .of industry, and deprecates waste, extrava iance, and prodigality. —Morning Paper.

C OURT OF KING'S BENCH, Dusux, N0v.517. (Abridged from the Dublin Morning Register.) [We give the following report of the concluding portion of Mr. O'Connell's speech. and the Solicitor• General's reply from the Dublin Morning Register of Tours day.l Mr. o . Co)(semen—What is manifestly tle object of the writer ? Is it not to put down Whitefeet crimes, and every species of outrage? Is it not manifest that he wishes to combine all repealer. of the Union for teat desirable object—the removing of the causes that lead to Whitefeet outrages? It is my opinion that the man who has an estate in Leland should be bound to live on it. One of the old Irish statutes required residence upon property in this country, or they inflicted a penalty of 75 per cent. upon the absentee proprietor. Nine tenths of the eetates in Ireland were, I can tell you, granted upon that condi tion. This is what we make a subject of discussion. This is all that has been discussed in the letter that has been prosecuted. God forbid that the object of the writer should be to instigate to the committal of crimes ! How can such an object be imputed to him ? Are they not spoken of with horror, and denounced with the strongest terms of execration ? And yet this is called, by the law I , officer of the crown, a seditious libel ! Gentlemen, this day is an important one—this day will be marked as most momentous in the sad story of our common country, and will be a bright and shining spot, illumining the page of Irish history—the first dawn of the opening day of light awl heat, bringing with it the genuine glow of kindliness, mutual attachment to each other, and general pros perity to this long-divided and unfortunate land. How does the fancy of realising such a scene cheer awl animate me ! I feel lam not gifted with any thing of poetical inspirations; but I am urged on by the ardent desire to see my country a nation. My heart feels and my tongue utters but one sentiment. Some of us were born when Ireland was a nation, and I trust that I shall not go to my grave until I see Ireland a nation again. The second preliminary is one of more easy attainment —it is to conciliate all classes and persuasions of Irishmen towards each other. I have the liveli.st happiness in being able to state that the approximation of Irishmen (Protestants, Orangemen, and Catholics) towards each o her is progrensit, with , a rapidity which exceeds my ex pectations, and almost equals my ardent wi-het for entire and universal conciliation." This, gentlemen, this is the laneumee which the Attorney-General decl tree, and calls upon you to say, inspires hatred b tween different clan-es of his Majesty's subjects ! It is not one partial phrase you are to found your verdict upon—it is upon tie whole publi cation—look at it from the beginning to the end, and you will see that the inculcation of charity is the burden of the song, and is the spirit of the entire composition Stand, then, between us, honest Protestant jurors—stand between us—stand between the people of Leland and this Whig prosecution ; let them obtain from you protection, and when the Whigs call upon you for a verdict, point to the North, the South, and the West, and ask them what compensation are they about to give for the sacrifice they ask of you this day. To the political salvation of my native country every wish of toy heart, every exertion is devoted, and they shall be used to secute her independence. is by the spirit of conciliation I wish to be guided. It is by Protestants and Catholics being conciliattet—it is by uniting tweether that we shall become too strong lOr the oppressions of those who are our common t n emits. We hare a country—we had a country once, and we oneht to have one. There is not a more lovely land on the face of time earth. There is none in which the annual rolls taken from the soil are so great. God has blessed her with a soil teeming with uncounted millions—her fields arc covered with plenty—in them the green stalk leans wider its iiverloried ear—the granaries are filled— the stores for corn are bursting their lofts—the land give to man its choicest treasures, and yet, oh ! yet, famine ihreatens with its blighting aspect to assail us—the wretched putat.e crop is one-third deficient. That miser able food on which the poptilation depend is Idling—the season Las been plentiful, and still starvation is coming. Why is this? B-eau-e the abundance of the land is of 110 avail to its people—the poor man yields it all up to the foollord, to be collected in rents, which are expended in England, Fiance, in any other courrry but Ireland. Wi•y ? Because Ireland is a prov.nce instead of being a nation. Tt,in is the language of the barrister that ad. dresses you. There was another banister, and bus name will lung live in the memory of h s country. How dot he speak of the Union? Mark what he says of i . " I see nothing in the Union but one question—will you give up the ceuntry ? I for get for a mument the unprincipled means by which the Union has been prompt , ed, and I look on it simply as England reclaiming in a moment of weakness that doiniuion which we extorted front her in a moment of our virtue." Who was it said that ? Time metutter for Callan—Chailes Kendal 13iiehe. I shall read the opinion of another upon the Union : But ii is the muerte cony ction of my mind, that the pro. posed Union,the inflicting so deep a wound in our national pride, the death of our Parliament, the reducing a pow erred, growing kingdom, to a small and petty member of the empire, will multiply and invigorate the friends of the French connection, and dieeearten, digust, alienate and diminish the friends to the Ihitish interest. Who are they whose pride and conseqiience will be most humbled? The loyal rind spiiited yeomen arid gentry. who have finglit and bled in support of our Constitution as it now -taw's. Woo will leave the country, or swell the list of absentees (a consequence which the a .vocates for Union admits), the wretched, corrupted rabble, which the pro. fligate conspirators—or the loyal and powerful nobility sod gentry? Five and twenty of the principal nubility, eighty or ninety of the first gentlemen, necessarily with. drawn to attend Parliament ; add to these all who will be attracted by interest, or seduced by pleasure, or sickeeed at the deserted streets of Dublin." Tide is the opinion of a gentleman of the Irish bar—this is the opinion of a gentlemen named Richard Jebb. And if his prophecy has been realized—if a powerful and growing kingdom has been transferred into a petty member of the empire—if it was patriotism and virtue to announce this, shall it be sedition arid libel to struggle to do away with i'. There are some mole passages which I shall read for you. The authority that 1 quote from stands eo high that you cauuot hut respect it. He s Lys, " You may mate the Union binding as a law, hut you cannot make it obligatory on conscience. It will he ulnerved as long as England is strung ; but resistance to it ,s ill be in the abstract a duty ; and the exhibition of that resist mince will lie a mere question of prudence." Who was it said that, Gentlemen of the July? Was he an itinerant, an unenlightened man ? Was he a mere country gentleman? The gentleman who said this was the Right Honourable William Saurin !-011, God ! what a miserable nation has this become! Why is it that we so long have submitted to this species of degradation ? Have we not the blond of men amongst us ? Can we watch the struggles of Poland fur lreedom —can we look on, and give our empty applause to her glorious achievements and :nighty sacrifices? Is the aspiration tout a cold feeling ? Is it a mere theatrical exhibition ? Are our sorrows and our tears only for the kings and queens of tragedy, and do we not enter into the interests of life? Are we men ? Are we Ilishinen ? Are we so stink in our paltry, pitiful, Raid disgraceful patty struggles, that we forget we :tee Itishmen—that we forget we have a country, and that it is the duty of all to serve her? Should the notes of liberty sound so strangely in our ears, that tint vet) , echo will startle us? Can we not listen to them ? Are we not even to dare to talk of freedom? 'We strive not to attain cur ends by bleed—for Ireland has not been a Poland, nor has it been subject to a Nicholas; but lung, too tome, has it been the victim of emaciating and citiel laws. Shall we not presume to speak of the Union, nor dare to show e ven that it has been violated? And as hat is this act which it is sought to prevent us even from discussing ? It in an act which has been in repeated instances violated. It has been violated in reference to the English debt nue in 1800. Th,t debt amounted to 420 millions, and was subject to an interest of 15,500.000/. a year. The act de clan d that with this debt Ireland should have nothing to ito It declared th at this de..t should be England's debt, and sh tild be defrayed out of Erigl nd's taxes e xclusively. lreland's taxes are now appropriated to the payment of its interest, and here is a verlet.on of toe Act in one of its fundenieutal principles. Then, this Ac, which it is sought to be made criminal even to discuss, guaranteed to us the applies ion of our surplus revenue to the lessening of our debt, the reduction of our tuxes, or the internal improvement of our country. Is our surplus revenue appropriated to such a purpose now? Not at all ; it gins over to pay the interest of the debt which was declared to be exclusively English. litre again is a viiilatien of Oil Act. The quit rents are taken fro 0 this unfortunate country to be eineroyed in beautifying London. It any of you eboul i have the mistortune to go to London, look to Charing-rem-, and you will there nee hew the quit rents of Ireland ate expended; while the pour and paltry suni of 3001, which the mei clout ts of Dublin aught for, to get a sure y executed f- r a ship carnal, thouge the utility of such a nation t 1 woi k is beyond all din, ute, wag refused with as much contempt as they would reiuse a beggar who a-ked 'nem for alms ! And after all this, they tell us that we shall not dare to discuss the mea-ure of the Union. They tyke limn us our property, and, because we are robbed, they tell us that We must be silent. I beve tune treat man Waiose opinions I will read for you respeetiuz this Union: his name et the time of the Union was William Canynehana Plunket :—" Sir, 1, in the most express terms deny the competency of Parliament to do this act, I ware you, do not dare to lay your hand on the constitution. I tell you that if, circutristanced as you are, you pars this Act, it will be a mere nullity, and that no man in Ire land will be bound to obey it ; I make the assertion deliberately ; I repeat it, and I call on any man who hears me to take down my words ; you have not been e'ected for this purpose; you are appointed to make laws and not legislatures ; you are appointed to act under he constitution, and . not to alter it ; you are appointed to exercise the functions of legislators, and not transfer them ; and if you do so your act is a dissolution of the Government, you revive society into its original elements, And no man iu the land is bound to obey you." Why is not this prosecuted? It is sold publicly—it is anxiously looked for, and it has been published again and again. Where is the Attorney-General that lie does not prosecute the miscreant offender who slid this? William Convngham Plunket then proceeds—,, If you transfer you abdicate, and the great original trust results to the people, from whom it emanated. Yourselves you may extinguish, but Parliament you cannot extinguish. It is enthroned in the hearts of the people—it.is enshrined in the sanc• tuary of the constitution —it is immortal as the isl end which it protects. As well might the frantic suicide hope that th e act which destroys his miserable body, should extinguish his eternal soul. Again I therefore warn you, do not dare to lay your hand on t h e con-titiition. It is above your powers." The attempt which they made suc ceeded. They destroyed the body, but the soul survives. My weak and humble breath has endeavoured to sound the trump e t of her resurrection. The spirit is beginning to arouse, the stir of animation is returning, end yet the Whigs suppose that they will procure you to flit like the harpies of old, or the vampires of modern days, round the tomb in which that spirit is now dormant, that you might suck up &ern the throbbing veins the red life blood as it re turned in its flow to circulate through them, and thus stop it for ever. Now, even now, you may feel the throbbing of the public heart. The spirit is raised—it appears glorious and immortal—it is robed in all the kingly majesty of national independence, and in its train is preseerity, peace, and blessings to our native land. 't Sir, I thank the administration for this measure-6J are, without intending it, putting an end to our dissen sions—through this black cloud which they have col lected over uselsee the light breaking in open this unfor tunate country ; they have composed our dissensions. not by fomenting the embers of a lingering and suedued rebel lion—not by hallooing the Protestant against the Catholic, and the Catholic against the Protestant—not by committing the North against the Smith—not by ii consistent appeals to local or to party prejudices. No, but by the avowal of this atrocious conspiracy against the liberties of Ireland, they have sub Cued every petty feeling and subordinate distinction. They have united every rank and description of men by the pressure of this grand and momentous sub. jeer, and I tell them that they will see every honest and in dependent man in Ireland rally round her constitution, and merge every other consideration in his opposition to this ungenerous and odious measure ; for my own part, I wilt resist it to the last gasp of my existence and with the last drop of my blood, and when I. feel the hour of my dissolution approaching, I will, like the father of Hannibal, take my children to the altar and swear them te eternal hostility against the invaders of their country's freedom." This w is certainly spoken like a patron, and which then ready animated hien. lam but an humble barrister, and yet as I am I have a true love fur Ireland, arid my feeble ad- I , voracy she never shall call upon, Hod do so in vain. I suppose you think that the mien who uttered the language I have quoted to you were, like felons, dragged to the bar of public j ustice. They were members of the bar, and of P rliament. Since then one of them has been promo ed to the very highest seat on the judicial bench— anether has kern fur twenty five years the Attorney-Ge neral for Ireland, and he ought, during that period, have et ally dine obtained the place cf Chief Justice. It they have been elevated, and justly rewarded, shall he who feebly imitates their limo' ,ge be d- nounced ? Gentlemen, I feel I Lave exhaust d you ; hut the subject upon which I have been engaged, has led me fir afield. Mighty con sequences dep-nd up , r 1 this trial. Tee question bete is— are we to have the right of discussing an Act of Podia men: ?—an Act that has put down this great and glorious nation and conversed her as by fell magic into the paltry member of an empire, and reduced her to a mere province; an Act which has taken from us the hest protection for iiie and liberty, the beet security for property—a dirtnestie Par ;lament. An act which has loaded us with a debt which we never contracted ; which takes the incerne out of the country, and widen sends over your representatives, one to five to he ravened at, not merely as I was, but as the advocate for the University, the representative of the Pro testant Church was met—with shouts and scoffs. This is th Act of Petliament, which has itifi toed more of misery and Mgr tlation upon a people, than any single ukase of 1 the Autoerat of Russia--it is an Act which has blotted Irel mti out of the map of the world. You are s worn-- yeu ~re bound t•i act according to the dictates of your conscience ; and now I tell y-u, that you may, by your verdict, baffle this Woig prosecution, and carry dismay, and, I believe, burl (lest, uction upon them.

Mr. O'Connell sat down amid enthusiastic cheer, and which, notwithstanding all the exertions of the officers of the Gout, could not be suppressed for sea , rel minutr s. Toe Court sat at eleven o'clock, and the Jury having been called over, Tire SOLICITOR.-GENERAL rose and said, they had yes terday the pleasure ot beariog the statement of the case on the part of the Crown by his Right Hon.

They had ;also herd the dext rous , able, nod elt qu nt sp ee ch made by the Learned Counsel on hr half of the pito.- lishrr of the I•hel (the writer had not bet n given up), and from the quantity of matter introduced into this long and able speech, he should net be surprised if they had forgotten Richard Barrett, the defendant.

A baud of SaZOS m esters. They could not be called upon to ti y any such gut stion, but the simple question they hair to try was the question upon the recurit. The question was a libel upon the United Parliament—tha• was the eines tion, as the Learned Judge on the bench would tell them. The publication had been manfully ad witted by the Learned Counsel, but lie expected the author would be avowed. Instead of this, however, they had merely an avowal teat Dlr.

From our Irish letter it will appear, and from the brief report of proceedings m the King's Bench, that the editor of the Pilot newcpap r has been found guilty of a libel, for peh l ishing a letter with the signature of Daniel O'Connell, a few days after the passing of the Coercion Bill, which letter was the subject of a prosecu tion by the Irish Government, for its infl 'm inatory and seditious tendency. Ag we have 'awed above, Mr. Barrett, the publisher of this libel, was found guilty. The question asked by every man of the least spirit or honesty on this .'ccasion has been, why the publisher of a se altiittiioloursshesiprit w in a g s sa ho m u a l t d te h r e av p o ro w s e e d cu a t n e d d, n w ot h o e r n mu t s h; —why the unfortunate subaltern should be so edwhile ut,hiietv ? I e mplo t y a e p r p a e n a d rs in im st p ig o a s t s o it r ,i; was to answ e r this question truly, but in terms le ehich reflect the utmost disgrace on t wo nartier, of whom Mr. Barrett indisputab l y is Prot one. Had the Irish Government pos ctti ofd' o with imp , essed a spark of real courage, justice, or wisdom, it would never have stooped at the petty game of the Pilot newspaper, which, except as the vehicle of Mr. O'Connell's violence, has little usefulness or merit attached to it in the eye of Anybody living. O'Connell's name was at the bottom of the letter. Could anything be more obvious than that the duty of the Government, if the law officers of the Crown pronounced the letter libellous, and if the Cabinet approved the policy of a prosecution, was to attack the uncon cealed and incorrigible author himself, passing by the feeble medium through which his excite ment to sedition was promulgated, and to deal blow for blow with the real enemy of the public peace, who openly held the executive power, its sworn guardian, at defiance ? The technical difficuty is mere nonsense. They should have proeeeded against O'Connell, and subpoenaed Barrett and the people of the Pilot as witnesses, as to their knowledge of the author. How paltry or discreditable, then, the meanness which truckled to the original and master culprit, while it pounced upon the involuntary tool, and thus proved that not a generous, but a pusilla nimous, spirit had dictated the whole proceed ng The course adopted by O'Connell oueht to have directed that of the Government. He al ternately abused, ridiculed, challenged, and de nounced them as fools, tyrants, and traitors, and fell short by very little of wresting the state out of their hands. What did they in return ? Fight him on his own ground ? When he attempted to undermine or overthrow the exist ing authorities, by bringing to bear against them the whole force of that malignant and savage exasperation which he had worked for so many years to inflame—what, we say, did the Mi nisters in return ? Why, Lord Grey, the head of their Cabinet, in his place in the House of Lords, twice (with astonishment we heard him) dwelt, in accents of mellifluous sweetness , on the prodigious talents, and celebrity, and popularity, of the learned gentleman, O'Connell, and on the vast accession of usefulness which any Govern ment must derive from his cooperation And this, after all the gross and contemptuous inso lence with which the same Lord Ceey and his colleagues had, in and out of Parliament, been treated by the learned person, the subject of such soothing aspirations. We say hat, under circumstances like these, O'Connell could do no otherwise than insult and deride he Government. Not so, however, does he stand with regard to Mr. Barrett. Would any man, let us ask, of high or even equitable fsel log, have permitted the editor of a newspaper of which he had made such frequent and profitable, use to be prosecuted for him, and punished for him, when, by writing three lines or speaking as many words to the Attorney. General, he might have saved the passive instrument of hi s own turbulence from risk of, perhaps, a long impri,onment, anti shifted to his P roper shoul ders the evil consequences, whatever they might be, of his own exclusive act ? If there b e -mall discrimination or regular); y in t'ie I,w of lihel, there was, in this he-mance, as little justice or he egruy displaced by him who ought to here ;rood the brunt of it, as little manfiness or mercy as there was of resolution stn the t art of his Aijesty's Government. The judgment to be pas ed on Mr. Barrett is, of course, unkuovto The public attenion having lately been en gaged \ye h proceedings under the law o f and with the hardship- to which his Majesty's subjects are exposed by its uncertain ptovisi. •ns, it appears to us desirable, with a view to th e spesdy and effectual amendme tt of some vices in that branch of the law, that intelligent indi viduals should be induced to offer their opini,nis with regard to the best mode of correcting it, and th at t hus the widest possible field for oh •ervation and suggestion should he thr own (melt for the public advantage. The heads of a Bril for the improveinery. of the libel law Lye be e n submitted to us, and upon the above principle we deem it right to give publicity to he paper—without, by any means, asserting t hat it does not leave extensive gaps to be fin ed up, while some of its positive recom mendations may present but doubtful matter for adoption. The p•ofessed object of the new Bill is to ascertain more precisely the provisions of the law of libel, and the functions ot jte!ges and e jt fr ir e i c e t s u , a a i nd o t i o e t p h o at ,ye e r nd of i i t u p r r i a e ) s po to ses re t t o uza de g r t, : rfa e l verdict in cases of prosecutiore for libel, by enabling the prosecutor and defendant both to disclose the whole matter to the Court and Jury—that is, to tell the whole truth, which at present is not admissible, save only in actions for damages. In cases of prosecution by men in public office, whose public conduct has been arraigned by publications designated as libellous, it is assuredly one of the grossest and most re volting wrongs that the defendant should be stripped of the natural plea of justification, and that he cannot give evidence to the truth of the charge which he has br o u g ht aga i n st a public officer, in respect, moreover, of time best !old only title by virtue of which that officer can Jelin the enjoyment of salary, or the exercise of tower, vise his irreproachable fulfilment of the duties which he has undertaken. NVith regard o private libel, a different principle ought, no toubt, to be recognized. Those vices or imper fections of private elm acter, which would be unknown to society but for the press, the press can hardly be justified for dragging below the world, where the parties accused of tnein are slut intrusted with any public or official functions, he respect for which might be lowered, and the services of the country injured .by their being confided to melt incapaote of offering th at , ,guarantee of public rectit ude w hich is to be Duna ut private v irtu©, and in th at a l one .
