LON DON,
THURSDAY, APRIL 27, MO.

Mr. HeNT applied yesterday to the Court of
King's Bench for a rule to shew cause why the
verdict had in his case at York should not be set
aside, and a new trial granted. The grounds for
this application a►e stated at length in our report
of the pruceeditirs iii Court, where it will also be
seen that the Judges postponed their decision upon
the motion until they atutuld hear the notes of the
trial read over by the Learned Judge before whom
it was held. Monday was appointed for this labo-
rious task, which will probably occupy the Court
more than one day.
Ilavitog had this occasion to recur to the subject
of Mr. trial it York, we cannot avoid 'a-
tomising at once our astonishment and indignation
that some prisons, professing themselves to be too-
Indus of the Ministers, sl►ould have ventured to
complain of the dignified impartiality shot distin-
guished the conduct of Mr. Justice BAY LEY on
that delicate and intricate case. The narrow in-
tellects of these persons could not comprehend how
strict justice might be made consistent witl► policy,
nor why an individual who chanced to differ from
themselves in political opinions should be entitled
to the ordinary courtesy that is uniformly extended
to defendants in an English Court of Judica-
ture. They contend that a man holding what
they conceive to be dangerous notions ought
to be crushed by any means, and with that
view would pervert ■ questiou of law into a
point of political expediency, and make the
sword of justice the instrument .of persecutiow.
Nothing is inure common in the mouths of men
thaw the cant of impartiality, yet if we look around
the circle of our acquaintance, hot► seldom do we
find those who most arrogate this virtue capable of
dissipating the mists of passion, prejudice, or self-
interest, with which almost every topic of ordinary
magnitude is enveloped! if the inquiry were
brought 'tearer to our own bosoms, many of us
might possibly discover some lurking qualities
which may sta►tle our sense of self love, and having
thus estitnatrd the difficulty of rendering the
passions obedient to the judgment, we may be
'molded to appreciate mote highly thou many are
perhaps prepared to do, the conduct of those
eminent individuals who preside in our Courts of
law, and who by the strictness of their self.disci-
plu►e render their minds as pure as the ermine which
is macaw to be the type of their integrity. Who that
eon venerate this perfection of purity, or feel the
elevation which it is calculated to give to the moral
character of his country, would desire that it should
fall from its dignity to gratify a momeutary ca-
pier ? 11'ould an advantage so contemptible as

the destruction of a political Av.,' compensate fur
the degradation which such N fall must fling even
ition our own nature? Mr. justice BAYLEY knew
better %hat was due to the character of his country
"of the Government, roil of public justice. lle
knew that whatever fate might beret Mr. Miler, or
Its individual prosecutors, the fame of public
events is immortal, and that the best security for
the iustitsit. or his country ors to represent
them to the world, founded as they are on liberty,
atikl crouneal With jandice.
It would indeed he oinikos.ible in the extended
range of our jndi&isl history to rod any single
instance of judicial conduct mare proudly mna►ked
by every excellent quality that could courtitute
good Judge, than that displayed at Yink by Mr.
Jurtice BAY LEY. The trial was of unusual length,
but his patience and attention were inexliateatiblei-
the circanstancer of the ease were peculiarly intri-
cate, but the clearness of his understanding un-
ravelled every difficulty—they were confused and
involved, but lie kept them alistioact. In the midst
of conflicting pasta ~,, he preserved his temper
Cola mod collected, keeping has eye steadily fixed
upon the cau►se.of truth; and on a eubject in which
the Members of the Administration avowed a deep
inteiest, his integrity and impartiality have not
hero questioned. 'flue defendant complains
deed of an error in judgment, from which none
can hope to be free, but which in the present in-
stance yet remains to lie determined. A censure
has been attempted, but it point* at his virture;—
it avow* his good temper, forbearance, and impair-
liali.y, and would exchange these qualities for the
worst ricer of the worst politicians. To the Learned
Judge, however, the voice of his country yields the
reward of his upright conduct, anal we have too
good au opinion of his MAJESTY'S Ministers not to
he convinced that they concur in the general opi-
nion, and feel that the interests of their Sovereign
were best sectored by strictly upholding the chit.
racier of public justice.

A rumour prevailed yesterday at the we►t end of
the town, that the Ministers had tendered their
rrsignations to his NIAJESTY, in consequence of a
difference of opinion upon a very delicate subject.
This report has probably originated in the bu,tle
among the Ministers within the last two days ;
but that may have been caused by the necessary
preparations for the opening of the new Parlia-
ment this day.

A Hamburg!' Mail has arrived, with Patirro from
that city to the 231 instant. Ills Royal Highness
the Doke of CAMBRIDGE arrived at Bruuriw•ick 011

We have received Paris Papers of Sunday last.
They contain no intelligence from Spain of any in-
terest, but with respect to the political division' in
that country, we filid it asserted in one of these
Papers, that the Liberates of Spain are divided
into four portico. holding very dissimilar opinions;
one of these is desirous of hiving the Constitution
established its it was irrainalgaird by the Cortes its
1812; 'untidier exptesses a wish that the Constitu-
tion should be revised for the purpose of giving the
Kist) an increase of authority, but these two par-
ties concur in desiring to typhoid the present
KING. A third piny suggests the expediency
of cashiering FERDINAND, and placing on the
throne ■n Archduke gi Austria ; but the fourth
is altogether opposed to kingly lore►, and re-
commends the formation of a federative repub-
lic. During a revolution it is to be expect-
ed that massy wild notions of government will
he formed, and it is not improbable that several
persons ire Spain may be found to entertain senti-
ments mach sus are here severally detailed ; but they
must be extravagant politicians who could devise a
scheme of transferring the Crown now to the House
or Austria, though for a long period of time united
with that family, and from many circumstances
peculiar to Spain, we are persuaded that there are
fewer republicans in that country thou in any other
in Europe.
For the purpose of evading the receht law esta-
blishing a previous censorship over the periodical
pu:ilications, pamphlets are occasionally issued
from the office of the late Illineree. The first of
these was wrapped iu u white paper cover ; the
second in a red rover. A wager is differed in the
Gazette de Franey that the third will he in
ingenious device far reminding the people of
their once.loved republican colours.
