Some months ago the PRINCE REGENT, with a - view to relieve - the distres - ses of the manufactur ing classes, by affording them employment, gave directions in the Gazette for the public celebra tion of the Queen's Birth-day, and of his own ; and, in order to make the relief more effectual, notice Was given, that it was expected that on both occasions all those who should attend "the Court would appear in dresses enrirelyof.British manufacture. In further pursuance of this plan, his Royal Highness ordered all his State and Household Officers to weer costly dresses of home fabrication, and those dresses were directed to be made into three classes of uniforms, according to the respective ranks of those Officers. The first class consists of .suits for the Lord Chamberlain, the Lord Steward, and the Groom 'of the Stole. The coats are of dark purple, with crimson velvet collars, richly orivonented all over with gold : they were very spltntid, and excited much admi ration. Not only those persons who are imme diately under the commaud of the Prince Regent had complied with the laudable direction of w:-ar• ing British dresses, 'but all the company present yesterday showed that they hAil been equally anxious to afford relief to theio skittering country men by citiployineot, which is the only perma nently useful mode of relief. The Court, - in honour of the Queen'4, Birth day, was at first fixed for the fith of the mo,tth ; but her Majesty being at that time unable, front the effects of her late illness, to hear the fatigues incident to these occasions, it was poStponed till yesterday, when her Majesty was entirely re covered. The day was announced, as usnal, by the ring ing of bells and the salute of artillery.; an I the people, temindeeby these intimations, flocked in great numbers to the vicinity of the Queen's I'a lace. The weather, which had been very dull and rainy, began to clear up . about 1 o'clock, and the scene became eery gay and magnificent. The perpetual succession of state-carriages aitd. splendid liveries all.rdetl a rich treat to those who are fond of pwAi and spectacle. The com pany began to arrive about one., and continued to do so till half-past three. The Prince gent arrived its stare about halt-past three . : his carriage, escorted by a party Of Life-Guards.— His Royal Highness proceeded by Pall-mall, and .was received with marked resiaect, by hats being taken uff, and frequent huzzas. - Most Of the Royal Family vi•ent in 'state. The Duke and Dachels of Yurk arrived first ;. then the Prin cess Charlotte and Prince Leopold ; next the Duke and Ductless of Glocester ; and lastly, the Duke of Sussex and the Princesi Sophia of Glo cester. The Speaker ot•the House of Commons went in State, and also the Austrian anti Dutch . Ambassadors. 1 ler Majesty entered the Drawing-room about 2 o'clock, and first received the congratulations of the foreign Ambassadors, of the Cabinet Ministers, and of all who hail the privilege of entre, The Granil Duke Nicholas was, tot. the first thus, ia ti with the usual court-formalities, to the Queen. ft was the first Drawing-room which his Royal.

LAW INTELLIGENCE. tOURT OF KING'S BENCH, Fru. 20. LIBEL. THE. KING' V. HATCHAIII). Tliis Was an inttie t mat i t against the defendani, Mr. John Hatchard, - an eminent bookseller in Pie c - t+ libel, contained in the Tenth Re port of 'the Directors of the African Society, atli I I v, , fo stated to be with an intent to defame the charac ters of certain Geylemen who were Colonial Aids -de-Caap'ia James Leith, Governor, of the t eewa rdearibliee Islands in the West Indies, and C om mander 'in 'Chief. In this Annual Report, read at the last meeting of the African Society, w h os e - Publisher Mr. flatchard is, is the follow ing passage, which was the libel Complained of " The Directors are also informed, that. about u year ago the following circumstance took place:--A ticutleman who h e w the situation of Aid-de-Camp to the Governor Sir James • Leith, haling severely curt whipped a negro woman of his awn, who was pregnant,' she laid her complaint -before the Governor, who humanely attended to her story, and her with some money for herself and a note to her owner. Instead, however, of taking his Exceileucy's inter fcrimse in good part, the Uentleman gave the unfortunate woman an addi,tional number of !astir, and dispatched a note to sir James Leith,' who, in consequence, oiJercd his Secre tary to inform the writer, that S;r .1 ,oles had no farther oven iion for his services. On the receipt of this information, the Gentleman dressed Up one - of his negro boys in his own uni form, and mounting hint upon an ass,_ dispatched him with an insolent note to the Governor. He, was afterwards in dicted for cruelty, the express order of the Governor, but the Grand Jury refused to find the bill." lite case on the, part of the prosecution was con - .deeted by Mr. Selleant, 'ilEsT, Mr. MARRYaTT, Mr. 0311%1,00D, and Mr. FITY.OEHALD. Mr. Serjeant BEST, in a very able speech, ad dressed the Jury on the mischievous tendency of this libel. He stated, that if was wholly false, in fact Without the least shadow of truth, and hail excited such indignatiOn in the Island, that the Council and House of Assembly, on its reaching Antigua, had unanimously voted that a prosecu tion should -be instituted against the author ; not from any vindictive motives, but fur the purpose of skewing to the world the foul-calumnies -which certain characters resorted to to support particular and favourite theories. The prosecution was in stituted for the purpose of vindicating the charac ters of a lactst honourable body of men, the Colo nial Aides-de-Camp to the late Sir James Leith ; for the purpose of vindicating the character and as serting the due administration of the justice of the Island of Antigua ; and lastly, ror the protection of the white population ofourColunies in those Islands. It imputed to a Member of that Colonial Staff the most savage cruelty, that of cart whipping a funale shle in a state of pregnancy, a state when every man, of manly feeling, treated a female, of what ever country or colour, with increased kindness and tenderness. It tepreseuted the inhumao wretch as revenging again upon his victim a re newed torture, because she found a friend to re. monstrate one ier behalf, in the humane Go vernor ; and lastly, this supposed culprit was represented "is insulting the highest autho rity in the Island for an act of humanity ; and when all thrs . ii , as done, the Grand Jury of the Island was stated to be so callous to the feelings of humanity, and regardless of their sacred duties in the administrations of justice, that they refused to find the Bill which the Governor ordered to be presented against the culprit. This was the charue ter of the libel, and it came from a society among whom were enrolled the most honourable names, which made it the more mischievous, as a pebble falling from a great height came down with ac celerated velocity and power. He (lid not im pute to the members of the Society that they bad fabricated this story, but that they had propagated it . ; and however they might be justified in using any arguments to support a theory, it was thjr bounden duty to ascettain, that parts reflecting upon the characters of individuals were true before they gave then] . the sanction of their :names. He had already stated, that they requited only the vindication of the characters of the par ties thus libelled ; and even now, at this stop 9( the prosecaticat,, lie was featly to say, that if ate African Society,.er. ,Mr. Hatcherd, would give up the name of the 'mini:loos !inciter, he would con sent to a verdict of - acquittal against him. But he demanded to know who the calumniator was, for he must have wilfdlly stated that which be must have kno*n to be false, and it' Mr. Hatchard would not lire !situ up, he must be responsible In his own person. Mr. MARRYATT then called Mr. Paul Horsford,, Attorney-General of the Island, and one of the Colonial Aids-de 7 Cattip orb Sir James Leith ; he proved the styLe'nt4tikle of the Governor ; that he knew all the 'Aids-de-Camp ; that if any such transaction had token place as the libel stated, he must have knoWn it ; that not a shadow or pre• text of any such fact ever came to his knowledge ; tint no Aide-dc-Camp was dismissed, and that no bill could have gone to the Grand Jury but through his hands, as Attorney •General, and none such was ever presented. Mr. Cuawoon culled Mr. P. 11Iartineau, who proved purchasing the libel in Mr. Hateherd's' shop, and that he was present at the time. This being the case ou the part of the prosecu , tion— ATTOUNKV-GENRRAL addressed The Jury with great ingenuity, and urged that this was no libel ;—first,. that with respect to the Aids-de- Camp, it named no one, and therefore no ono could say he was the person libelled ; and that with respect to the Grand Jury, it only said that they did not find the bill, which, he contended, might be for very good reasons, without imputing corrupt motives to them.' With regard to giving up the author, be said it ought not to be asked, because it coold not be done without great breach of faith, and that it Was probable he WITS imposed upon, ancl.diui u,otw.tuetin to 111:ike any 1040 representat ion „ Mr. 111aattYaTr, in:answer to the law as stated by the Attorney-General, produced a case, which was an information for a libel, reflecting on an East India Director, without 11414ing Roil the Court held that this was 4 libel on all the Di rectors. Mr. Justice ABOOTT a in summing up, desired the Jury to find specially, ‘vhethrr they thought that by thtn charging an unnamed Aid-des Camp, the libel meant to bring all the body into disre pute ?
