THE KING'S RETURN'. wassaw•—. l IIS MAJESTY arrived at Carlton Palace at seven o'clock on Saturday evening, having travel led with post horses from Milford, at which placehe l an d e d at fi ve o ' c l oc k i n t h e morn i ng of Wedne s d ay last.—The Royal squadron sailed 'roin Dunleary (now King's Town), near Dublin, on Wednesday the . sth inst., put back the same day, sailed again 'on Saturday, and arrived in Milford Haven on Sunday the 9th, where it was detained by contrary winds until Monday night. The squadron sailed next day (Tuesday) with intent to heat up Channel to Portsmouth, and had reached within 30 miles of the Land's End, when, from the boistrous state of the weather, it was obliged to put about, and return to Milford Ilaven, where it arrived at 4 p. m. on Wednes 'day- At five next morning his Majesty lauded amidst the cheers of thousands of spectators. A band of music was in attendance, which played several national airs, and his Majesty appeared to r eceive the marked attention which was paid to hi s Royal person, with much gratitude.—He bowed frequently, and looked remarkably well. Three carriages were landed from the fleet, one of which was his Majesty's private one, and in a short time his Majesty, accompanied by Lord . V, r aves, drove off with his attendants for London. " 5 Majesty p rocee d e d th roug h C armar th en an d A ber gavenny. The following letter gives an —a ccount of his Majesty's arrival and reception at Cheltenham : C IIELTENI I AIVI, SEPT. 14.—1 n consequence of Intelligence having reached this place, that his I " jE sTY would pass through in the course of this afternoon, all classes of the inhabitants were u pon the alert to welcome his arrival, and to I.NifY thei r l oya lt y an d a tt ac h men t t o hi s R oya l rerson in the most marked and the warmest rn atther. A meeting of the inhabitants and vi sitors was therefore immediately called at the 4 ‘rembly Rooms, when resolutions were enter " into, and signed by the Rev.

LANCASTER ASS f ZES, FRIDAY, SEPT. i 4. [Before Mr. Justice HOLROYD and a Common Jury.] LIBEL UPON HER LATE MAJESTY. REX V. BLACOW, CLERti. • It was expected that this trial would have come on yesterday, and the Court in consequence was crowded to excess, especially with females. The same curiosity being rather increased than abated great multitudes assembled at th e doo r s - of the . UOUrt.before they were opened this morn ing. But previously to the opening of the public doors every part of the Court, where•any accom modation for sitting, or even for conveoientltand ing and hearing, could be found, was already occupied. The reverend defendant was among the first who took his seat immediately below the crier, and directly opposite to the Jury. When the doors were opened the rush was tre mendous, and in an instant every inch-oistand ittg room in the Court (the most spacious in the kingdom) was occupied. At nine o'clock Mr. Justice /lout° Ito took his seat, and the Jury was sworn: Mr. TINDALL stated the pleadings. It was an indictment. against the Rev. Richard Blacow, for a scandalous and malicious libel against the late Queen. The first count charged, that. he had composed and preached the words charged as libellous; the second count charged,. that he had composed and published the words in 'a pamphlet,. entitled the. substance of discourse, &Tx.; the third count charged, that he had com posed and published the words set forth in the indictment. - The defendant pleaded nut upon whirl . ) issue was ,wined. Mr.. BROUGHAM.--MaY it please your Lord ship, Gentlemen of the .Jury,—lt is my painful duty to lay before you the particulars •of this case, and it is yours to try it ; and my, part shall be per'formed. in a very short time indeed, for I have little, if any thing, more to do, than merely to read—what I will not characterise by words of my own, but what I will . leave to you, and may leave to every man whose mind is dot -per -verted, to affix a .proper description. I read to you what the defendant composed and printed. 'You have heard from my Learned Friend,—and if you have any doubt, it will soon be removed, — to whom the 'following passage applies. Of the Queen it is that the passage is written and printed : " The term ' Cowardly,' which they have now laid to my charge, I think you will do me the justice to say, does not belong to me ; that feel ins. was never an inmate of my bosom; neither when the Jacobin's raged around us with all their fury ; nor in the present day of radical uproar and delus:an. The latter, indeed, it must be allowed, have one feature about them even more hideous and disgusting than the Jacobins themselves. They fell slow n and worshipped the Goddess of Reason, a most respectable and decent sort of being." And you know, gentlemen, that she was a common prostitute, taken from the stews of Paris. " A most respectable and decent sort of being, compared with that which the radicals have set up as the idol of their worship. They have ele vated the Goddess of Lusts on -the isesksAssk of shame, an object of all othOrs the most congenial to their taste, the most deserving of their horna4e, the most worthy of their adoration. After ex hibiting her claims to their favour in two distant quarters of the' globe, after compassing sea and land Kith lser guilty paramour to gratify to the full her impure desires, and even polluting the holy sepulchre itself with her presence, to which she was carried in mock majesty astride upon an ass, she returned to this hallowed soil so hardened in sin, so bronzed w;th infamy, so callous to every feeling of decency or of shame, as to go on Sunday last" [Here gentlemen, the -Reverend Preacher al.' luded, not to the public process . ; sn to St. Paul's to return thanks, or to other processions which might partly, at least, be considered as political, but to her late Majesty's humble, unaffected, pious devotion in . the church of Hammersmith.] —" to go on devotion_ last, clothed in the mantle of adultery, to kneel down at the altar of that God who is of purer eyes than to behold iniquity,' when she ought rather to have stood barefoot in the aisle, covered with a sheet as white as ' unsunned snow,' doing penance for her sins.. Till, this had been done, I would never have de filed my hands by placing the sacred symbols in hers: and this she would have been compelled to do in those good old clays when church dis cipline was in its pristine vigour and activity." Gentlessien,theauthorof this libel is a Minister of the Gospel. The libel is a sermon ;--the act of publication was preaching ;—the place was his church;—the day was the sabbath ;—the au dience was his congregation. Far be it from me to treat lightly that office of which he wears the outward vestments, and which he by his conduct profanes. A pious, humble, inoffensive, charit able Minister of the Gospel of peace is duly en titled to the tribute of affection and respect which is ever cheerfully bestowed. But I know no title to our affection or veneration which is possessed by a meddling, intriguing, turbulent priest, even when he chooses to separate his sacred office from his profane acts ; but far less when he mixes up both together—when he refrains not from entering the sanctuary with calumny—when he not only invades the sacred circle of domestic life with the torch of slander, but enters the hallowed threshold of the temple and casts it flaming on the altar—when he pol lutes with rank calumnies the air which he espe cially is bound to preserve holy and pure—when he makes the worship of God the means of in juring his neighbour, and polluting the flock committed to his care. Of the defendant's mo tives I say nothing. I care not what they were ; for innocent they could not be. I care not whe ther he wished to pay court to some patron to look up to the bounty of power, or whether it was mere mischief and wickedness, or whether it was a union of interest with spite. But be his mo tives of a darker or lighter shade, innocent they cannot have been.; and unless the passage I have read Poceeded from innocency, it would be a libel on you to doubt that you will find it a libel. Of the illustrious .and.unfortunate individual who was the object of this attack : I forbear to speak. She is now removed from such low strife, and there is an end, with respect to her, of, I cannot say chequered, for her life was one continued course of injustice, oppression, and animosity from all who either held o.r looked up to—all who either posseised or courted, emolument and ag grandizement;—but the grave has closed over her unrelenting persecutions. Unrelenting I may well call them, for tlieS , have not spared her ashes. The evil passions which beset her steps in life have not ceased to, pursue her memory, 'and with a resentment more implacable than death. But it is yours to vindicate the iris-tilted laws of your country. If your verdict will haVe no ef fect on the defendant, if he still go on tinrepent ing and unabashed, it will at least teach others or deter them from violating the decency of the law. Mr. Thomas Burgland Johnson.—l am a printer at Liver pool. Mr. Blacow applied to me for printing of his sermon. That was the sermon now handed to me. During the time the printing was going on I saw him repeatedly. I delivered to him the proof sheets. I have one in rii), custody. It contains a few marks made by him. The w.ord " crisis" is altered to " juncture." It• was delivered - back with that alteration to me by Mr. •Blacow. The sermon was afterwards printed by me. Mr. Blacow paid me for the printing. ' By Mr. Blaeow.—r do not know the instigators of this pro secution.. I don't know at whos?.-expence it is carried on. I know Mr. Brougham. He offered himself a candidate for Liverpool some years ago. - • . Mr. Justice Ilor.ngrz.—What has that to do with your dem ce ? . . . Mr. Blacov—l wit hed shca,w that Mr. Brcugham is ecnnected with- those liivLi' , uil who instigated the pro-, fia tt„, s2cation• • . , :;0.,.. -1,-,- -: ' ' ...• MT. Justice Ho tne•iri.--Iniat is immaterial. Mr..filacow bowed with great submisSion, and said he would do nothing which his Lordshi? thought irregular. Cross-examination cOntinited.—Mr. Brougham is a member of the Concentric Society. I know Egerton Smith, the Editor of -the " Liverpool Mercury," perfectly well: I have known bin 9or 10 years. lis character and princiVes are perfectly well known to me. Mr. Justice HOIXOYD.—That can have nothing to do with your defence. Mr. Blacow.—My Lord, I wish to show the ,spirit of the party in Liverpool with whom Mr. Brougham is connected. Mr. Justice FIOLROYD--If I allowed you to go into such inquiries, I should be guilty of perverting all justice. Mr. ilacow.,-Nly Lord, I shall ask nothing which your Lordship shall think irregular or improper. Cross-examination continued.—When 1 was engaged in print.' ing the sermon, you undoubtedly had frequent conversations with me respecting its principles and tendency. The sub stance of your motives, as you stated them, was.to expose the views of the Whigs and Radicals. Yoe never showed bitter ness or hostility towards the Queen on these occasions. - Yon often expressed your regret that she had connected herself with a desFerate faction in the State. You often lamented the dan cer to which the country was exposed from the intrigues of teat faction and the dread of its consequences. There was a procession in Liverpool .a few days before your sermon was preached, in honour of what was called the Queen's triumphant acquittal. I was not near the procession. I cannot testify Whether there was confusion and uproar in consequence. Thomas Coglan—l was present at the preaching of the ser mon on the 20th of November, 1820, in St. Mark's. It was a .Sunday evening's discourse. There was a numerous audience. believe it is the church in which Mr. Blacow usually preaches. I never heard him but then. I took notes. I have not a note beginning with the term " cowardly." I recollect the term being mil. I have a note respecting the Jacobins worship ping the Goddess of Reason. I conceive the expressions used were, (as read by yon,) " They fell down and worshipped the Goddess of Besse n —a most res_pectable . and decent sort of being compared with that which the Radice.ls have set tip AS the idol of their worship." I have not the very words, but I have the substance. I have the very expression—" - They bskvz elevated the Goddess of Lust," "un object of all others the most con genial to their taste, the most deserving of their homage, and the most worthy of their adoration." I recollect the very words being used ; but I did not take them down. I have the words down—" After compassing sea and land with her guilty para mour." I have the very exprocsions--" Even polluted the Holy Sepulchre with her presence," and " returning home hardened in sin and bronzed. with infamy." 81aeow--My rie,t ghat t`:; words be rtad ter The' Wit.neWin illirosiiian tier _ _ _ • Dlr. Justice HOLROYD.—NO : you rnsy refresh the wit ness's memory, but not more.. You may suggest the subject, and the regular way will be for burn to - read from his notes. have these words (witness read from notes) " Last Sunday she went clothed, &c." _ • Mr. Justice Ilcir.itovn.—You cannot support the first count, you cannot prove the tenour. Mr. TINDAI.I..—ft is only tlie substance that is art forth. • Mr. Justice 1-thLitoYD.,Ves, but you must prove the te nour ;- you must prove the very, words. Mr. TINDALL.—It is perfectly immaterial, my Lord ; for the other counts are quite the same. . (Examination continued.). I read the sermon, since printed, yesterday. I compared my notes with the sermon; and found a great portion word for word as I took it clown, and the sub stance the acme as I recollected him to ha',..c preached. • (llere a minute exaniination as to expression took plaCe,; and after some legal conversation, the .first count charging the pre cise words preached was abandoned.) ' Witness proceeded.--Without doubt the words applied to the Queen. I haVe not the least doubt of it-, . Ey Mr. Blaeow.—l am not in the habit of . attending St. Mark's church. My motives - in attending that evening were, that I had heard you intended' to preach a sermon, the chief object of which-was to •animadvert upon the Queen. It was from curiosity I attended. I do, not recollect any individual that communicated it to me. I believe it was generally talked a. I usually attend the Unitarian chapel, of which Mr. Har ris is minister. Mr. Justice HoutoYD objected to the evidence. Mr. Blacow--;.Suppose I should show him to be an Atheist. Mr. Justice HOLROYD—The time was before he was sworn. You cannot examine as to th;.t, now he is upon his oath. Mr. Blacow—l am far from insinuating that the witness is an Atheist; I only suppose a case. Mr. Jams B.unnell-1 was at St. Marks one eVenin? ; I don't know the date. I heard Mr. Blacow preach. [The printed sermon was handed to the witness, and he was directed to look at the whole passago set forth. 1 I cannot swear this to be the.passage, verbatim et literatim, that I heard: but I be litve this to be the sum and substance. Looking over the' hole passage, I certainly did understand the words to apply to the Queen. I could not, by possibility, suppose that they applied to any other woman. lam still of that opinion. By Mr..Blacow—l ani not in the habit of attending St: Mark's. I heard you thrice, with that time. There was a procession, I think, before . that day. I saw the procession ps.sitlw,vn Castle street. It principally consisted of mechanics ' labourers, and others, of the town. There were at the head twenty or thirty gentlemen whom I knew, and atom I would call respectable. I cannot speak to the humbir; ,4 made the remark at the tune that there were not above thirty Whom I knew. I think, generally Speaking, there were .frorn 4,000 to 5,000. There Were but 30 whom I'knew ; there might be many whom I did not know, who still might be very respectable ; I wish to throw no reflection. Was it net your impression that they were generally the lower orders ; I mean the very lowest, the scam and rabble ? It certainly was a motley group, a very motley group. and there was not that portion of respectable persons that I saw at other processions. My Lord, I don't wish to he understood to adopt the words " scum and rabble." They were mechal i .s, and perms of that class, that might be very decent persons fur any thing 1 know. • Mr. BROUGIkAM—No, no ; we know the words are not yours. Re-examined.—The procession was very peaceable and well behaved. Mr. Millar—l purchased the printed sermon—that printed sermon, at, the shop of Evans, Chegwynn, and Hall. It was exposed to sal; there. Mr. Cross, the prothonotary, now read the passage set forth in the indictment, the defendant's attorney comparing the in dictment at the same time. Mr. Blacow-31y Lord, there is a variation in the title. The variation was, that the whole title was set forth, at least that the words " and an appendix bearing on the radical ques tion" were not added to the rest of the title, after the word en titled.. His Lordship thought the, objection immaterial ; tut the third count having no title 'Set forth in it, it was read and compared, and no variance found. Mr. BROUGIIAM—That is my case. Mr. Blatow—lt is my desire that the whole sermon should be read.- I don't wish the notes, except perhaps one note. Mr. Bnoucill.ni—lf the whole sermon be - iead, I shall in sist upon the notes being read. .; Mr. Justice k 1 onto'vn—Do you wish the whole discourse to be read, as bearing upon the charge against you, and material for your defence? Mr. rilaeow—Yes, that in my-desire. • Mr. Crtoss read the printed,sermOn inabout an hour's time. Mr. Blacow next read a sermon in manuscript, which occu pied about two hours and a half. We offer only a few sveci. mens. The Jury having heard the Whole of that discourse, he, would now proceed to state his moti v es, a nd then he would con clude with some reflections. He entered on this subject with great reluctance, owing to an event so awful and sudden as the Queen's death. That event ought to have hushed all angry feelings.—(llere the defendant appeared to weep.)—But Brou i ,liam was the first to disturb her ashes, Alas, alasl On that party death made no impression. The malignant feeling's which were brooding In their hearts - , vegetated in their breasts, even beneath the cypress. The hydra of faction had reared its . terrific head on the day of her funeral.. That disclosed the un-I. paralleled malighity , and atrocity of the designs they had enter tained. Hereon:3Se. were determined to early their vindictive feelings beyond the tomb., Her mantle was on their hezds. and. they were endeavouring to raise trophies on her tomb. 'Phis was a posthumous . effort of their malice ; nothing but the lowest and most malignant feelings of revenge could have drawn him into this court. Blasphemy and sedition had raised themselves beneath her banner 9 • tree-son itself had been distilled from her pen. Previously to her trial he had always felt the war. Pat in terest in her favour, end supposed that it was only levi ties and indiscretions that were brought to the count with velocipede celerity on the wings of the wind. Favoured as she had been by the late King, and widowed as she had been from the first years she was in this country, he had felt great interest in her. tie felt for her perhaps with greater sincerity than her vaunted profeisional champions. But when the foul, filthy, andabiimi nable charges against her were established— Mr. Bnouorram.—l should not wish unnecesaarily. to in terfere, and r have stayed long before I oll'ored an interruption: but surely this is not to be endured. Mr. Justice Hor.RolrD.—No evidence would be admitted of what you assert, if you could produce it : and we must not, therefore, hear assertions resorted to. Mr. Blacow.—When the foul and filthy— r. OUG !Init.—He is just repeating the very terms. • Mr. Justice 110LItOYD.—No, Sir, you must not use such language. lam sorry to interrupt you on your deftnee, but r Cannot in law hear such assertions. Mr. Blacow--Surely I may show what my mdtives were. Dlr. Justice I-loLnorn.—You cannot make.- assertions of guilt, when proof would not be admitta You may yoar own opinion and belief. Mr. 131acow.—Then this is my opinion. .. • Jr. Justice iiOLROYIL—But you may r: , t proire your opi nion from Sewspapers or other sources. 'flic law will rot allow it. . • Mr. Blacow.—The highest court of taw tried the question, and gave a vcrdict. Mr. Justice HoLnoYD.—We don't legally know what was done there. Mr. Blacow.— It appeared the- highest verdict that could b 2 given. Mr. BuouG TlAM.—There was no vcrlizt. • Mr. Blacow read on.—No ingenuity- could pervert the evi dence of her own witnesses ; and then he felt indiration and disgust in place of pity and resp e ct. • Then there wes a meek. procession in the place he • lived in. The howling ternotst d scanted the land.. Then, and not till then, it was fat he troll up his pan. Every man who had a spark of loyalty, a gain of religion, a partiCle of affection for his country, wes beued to arrest the pores of the desolating storm. He was- satis fied that it was his duty to bringall the energies of the pulpit to beer upon it. Party politics were far beneath their notice, but there. were Christian politics which had. r.. steict chim on their attention. (Here the defendant quoted the several pas seees of Scripture that are usually applied to politics.)With ell - the symptoms of dissenters disloyalty and eh:elf:cam w ere interwoven ; and;f they were not checked, they would soon re vive an Oliverien dynasty. Having made these remarks, he would .go on next to show thet the symptoms which had pee ieft'ted the French Revolution heel begun to appear in this coun try wheel he preached his sermon. " %Then bad men conspire, good men must comleine." It was a cool and deliberate aet he did. He had yet to learn the head anc . front of his Oa:lending. He had supported the sacred shield of protection, the banner of the Sovereign, against the standard of anarchy, tumult, and rebellion. If the moral desolation had not been turned by the pen, where would the dialerne where the stars of nobility, where the mitres have been ? The democratic mob, under the many beaded monster, the Majesty of the people, would have tri umphed. " Thank (led, who r 2.7, me courage to do nay duty in ifiliction, &c." (quoting the tine peroration of Burke to the Electors of' Pristolo thiswill be mv consolation." If they would lead an ear to the faction which brought him there, to the ad vocate who had lead the audacity to threaten the Peers— Me. Justice Hor..nom.—Thet is quite irregular. • Blatiowe—lt was so reported in the newspapers. Mr. Bitoteeilam.-- If it was, it was most feleely reported; but it never was so reported. Mr. Blacew.—lt was not contradieted ; and it was on the lips of every radical. Mr. Justice HoLitov.o.—You cannot nstuma it as fact. : .... Mr. BrtotariA:it --.Reid it.

Mr. Justice II onnovro.—She did act stand on the same footing as other subjects. Mr: rflacow.— She is a subject. Mr. Justice liounoTD.-I know it; but on account of .her Deculiar•conn;xion with the King, she is not bound to make afEcla:it. Mr. liitouottAm.—lt was tendered. Mr. tilacow.-111 talk to you by and by.—(The Rev. Gen tleman next talked of what he called .Mr. Denman's filthy Greek.) Mr. Justice HOLRO*D.—Yue have nothing to 'do with per sons who tire not here. N 1 r. Elno•.v.—As public men Justice D.---No, when they have nothing to do with this issue: Mr. Elacow.—. This is material, being:used in the Queen's de fence. M r. Justice HOLROYD—BUt you must accompany it with no Mr. Liscove.—Then put out " filthy," though every one who understands Greek /mews it to be so. He would much rather regard what Mr. Brougham did than . What he said.— He refased the meney to be voted by Parliament for the Queen. Would he itet up and deny that ? This was noble. Not a penny of John Bull's money would she receiek till. her name. was re stored to the Liturgy. This war, worthy of the " brave Bruns wicker," as The Times called her; but Mr. Brougham advised her to take what Parliament gave with far too generous a feeling.

Mr: 131acow.--I calculated on going on so; if this be cut off, I may as well sit down. - Mr. Justice lIOLROYD.—You are not to be suffered to go on because vote calculated on it. Mr. filacow next spoke of " such reptiles as Wood and Waithman, who had talent only to weigh a drug or measure a yard of tape, regular traders in guile and deception." Mr. Tustize HOLROYD.—If you go on so, I must stop you. Mr. Blacow.—Then I cannot go on. • Mr. J ustice ii oast° I'D.—No slanders are to be repeated here. Mr. Blecora-3a pablic men ?

Let them not believe it, as comings . from Ilroaghain. He had been guilty of a moral degradation which he hoped would never agaia be seen at the bar. But the good and great old Chancellor nobly replied to him fiat justitia ruat emluni : he was like a venerable oak in his native soil. Mr. Beoughatalad endeavoured to intimidate by his threats when he could net cajole by his sophistry. That was the practice of Ins 'ferocious school. - He borrowed the word from i‘lr. Cree . vey, of Whig-radical notoriety--for Liverpool had the hOnour of giving that Statesman birth. (The reverend defendant again plunged into the vortex of the French Revolution, and the comparison to the ferocious monster Nero.) They crept into Parliament after all, through the crannies of rotten boroughs. Mr. Brougham and Sir Francis Burdett, and others of that pes .tilent faction, were :',:embers of the Concentric Club, that horde of ferocious persons. He (Mr. Elacow) had not defamed the Queen ; and he was prosecuted, not for deft ming the Queen, but for the many editions of his sermon, against the Whigs and Radicals. When it went through two editions, a full conclave of raging Liverpool Radicals•resolved to prosecute him.--(Here quotations of proceedings in the Lords and Cornrows . were ; repeatedly checked in vain.)—ln the picture between the fero cious Nero and our generous King, was it not' a dirett call'to rebellion ? This hate been the intention of the Radical Faction in taking up the Queeo case. The vr:11 known Journal of this faction was the " Liverpool Mercury," the common receptacle of sedition and blasphemy, and Attacks on private character.— He (Mi. Illzcow) knew the faction. • They had fury on their lips, vengeance in their hearts, and blood on thcir hands.— (The Rev. derndant next entered into a long history of his efforts to deprive an AtiterAt of parish ofiiccs, and of his failure, through tje conduct of ." the Well-known colleague of s radical Counsel for the Queen, and' Member for. Nottingham.") • • Mr. Justice. libi:norn,—No, Sir._ Blacow.—As public characters ?. Mr. Justice 110L491-D.—As a ;nail ethicat'on, conducting yeni own defence, and professing zeal for submission to autho rity, I am surprised that you can go, en so. Mr. Blacow again reverted to Nero , and the comparisonn to Liar, alluded to blasphemies against Ministers; and said the Queen's answers, to use a well-known expression of Mr. Sear le:es, smelt of blood. Why was this prosecution brought against him after the Queen's demise ? Why was he - selected? (Ile next lauded the Judges of the land, end lamented the au dacious slanders even riponthem, and concluded this part by claiming)—" Parish the arm that would not be raised at such' . .; crisis--silent for over be the tongue that would dot spe a k."-- Ile defamed not the Queen. It was utterly impossible, if he had had the eloquence of Sir Harcourt Lees in Ireland or of that man of straw John Bull, against width h e understoeed Sir John Copley set his face. (The interruptions w!"ra incessant licee and unavailing.) His arm had &opt from the shoulder-- blade befcfre he had suffered thefinger of pollution to touch the i'acred symbols of Christ'A bOdy. (He next proposed to read passages much stronger than he had used, from a volume talled Ounaikocrec," but he wets prevented from thet:t:ourse irrelevant. He pleaded the example of 'Hone. and Cathie, and complained that the whole of his' defence would be cut up.) Mr. Bitoucfrar.texplained, that Hone had quoted pe:odics, 'not to show that others had not been prosecuted, but to 4ow that he was not guilty Of profane or blasphemous parody, inasmuch as parodies as liable to that charge had been written by,persona of a nd - ;uhtcd piety, and ornaments of the el umh. • Mr.. racks, tortures, even the ~.^11:-bet were his reward, he would not abate one word of what he bad said. The image of the" Pedestal of Shame" he borrowed fr?lu.a letter in a fietuVrn paper—not the leading journal ;"no. it was not iron The Times, the most false, most pestilential, meet liemtrous, Irlait inflammatory paper that . eve.r , .clisgratod any Ceuntry ; re:: from John Bull, the rays . :bf whose honest truth ei&p,?ll-xl the mists of tlelusinr: which anarchy had raised. Mat honest .;ohn was sometimes besidc himself, for he attacked • even Mr. rougham., whose malignity now rankled in the gloomy recesses of his ver.gefel heart. ; but they would deliver line (Mr. Blacow) from his mercilcss grasp, and let him • and John Bull fight it out. John by interrogatoriea,':put truss-,grained ques tines. Of the purity of Mr. Brougham's family he knew rat thing ; but the Duke of Wellington said to the 'mob May all your wives be lik e the Queen." If the.cap fitted Mr. Brougham he might take it. Mr. Justice Hor.noYn.—lt is quite irregular. Mr. Blacia*.-13ut the letter he alluded to was in the Courier, Ithieli prided its elf en decorous and gentlemanly language, anal whiz!: admitted notlzin low or scandalous. Ile had heen.hapny to bozzow from its well-attempered page. He mentioned tt.'is to show that there were some other reasons for fixing Mr. Brougham's legal harpoon in him. He had probed the c^ple of his eye when lee had praised the .Ring's Ministers. Irene was nreperly acquitted because he had not had the intention far whic'n he was prosecuted : so ought lie (Mr. Bheow) to be now acquitted. Mr. BRouoraam,—lt is quite untrue that you clone are se lected. Bills are found by the Grand Jury against others, and it is well known. . , . • Mr. Blacow.—Bcfore God t e solemnly swore ha was notgus:_y. The Common Council of London was a viperous brood, a nest of Distilential Radicals; and mountebank d - ealers in dis!opity. When they talked of " her eminent virtues," the very stones of this house would start from their beds and speak. (A gain be struggled to go into the evidence bcfcre the Lords, but after much resistance to the authority of the Court, he was restrained.) Who instigated this trial? Was it Alderman Wood—Billy Austin—or that paragon of wit and wisdom and - fine writing, Lady Hood ?—the Escort Cotnmittee?—or the Common Council! No, it was the Whig-Rath:Ms, be cause he had " confounded their politics, and frustrated their knavish tricks." 'lf a London Jury acquitted Hone, surely a Lancaster Jury would acquit him (Blacow.) The Queen 'eft nothing in her will to Alderman W 00.4 ; and it was said . that Mr. Brougham had said of him, that except the Wait - lard anima/. who eats thistle, there was not a more stupid animal ; fram *Lich be supposed he called him absolute wisdom. Mr. Baot;oHaar.—There isnot a syllable of truth in that. Mr. Bia:Jiw was very glad to hear it. The W'higs in office were always tyrants ; out of office always traitcra. They v.-ere seemly for ca - st off' Q.l CTI when she should have answered tilatold crazy hoadod'gcat, Lord.,Erskirre, cast off h s concubine. Mr, linoucurax.-0! 0 ! There's a hliisi r of the gospsi. . • Mr. Blaeow then eulogized the Constitutional' Association, the joyous acclamations of the Irish, and poured forth a fervett prayer for every earthly and eternal blessirg to Cho; ;e V. Justice HOLROTD, in the most guarded and tempe rate language., gave his opinion that it was a libel. • TLe epitlatts were most abusive and derezatcry. Could he be rant that he was tradudng and vilifying the Que:.n ? ;By particular statute they were to juice wl,ttlier the attendant was guilty. As a clergyman of the Church cf England, holding himself out as• very 'loyal and very desirous of the pres;:riation of the State, he gave his opinion of the ;, I .vweris guilt, left act the peo p le to their own reflections, and thus he aistaibed the peace. But it was for them to jud., , :e whether it was libel or not. They were to lay out or their minds all ocher considera tions, and totally their own opinion, respecting the q - acstion of &.e Quern's guilt or innocence. The only qinstion-was, N.:I-e -ther the publication tende , d to degrade ttc, Queen, to tradan!r her; and was published with intent to vilify her, and bleak the peace. In his opinion it w3...s a libel. The Jury retired for a quarter of an hour, and found a ver dict of GUILTY. * 4 .* We have taken the .above Report from a :4lornir,g Paper remarkable fbr perverting every cir,:umstancc in any way con nected with the conduct of her late _MAJESTY.
