stock tomorrow, the trade was with each kind of Meat very
dull, at barely Monday's quotations. For Mitch COW, which
were not quite so numerous as several past 'Fbursdays, advanced

COURT OF KING'S BENCH.
JUDGURNT. ICINO V. GEORGE IRWIN.

The late IViinisters are, at least, entitled to the
Inatit---and'it is no small one—of having paid a prompt
and -constitutional obedience to the opinion of the House of
Commons. Had they shown as much sagacity in ant;ci-
'lotting public opinion as they have in obeying it when thus
ll eatirded, they might both have maintained their own po-
:Owl, and averted that crisis in public affairs to which
tky hart so unpardonably brought wt.—Morning Herald.
It was the intention of their MAJESTIES, on
da mmtinli the Pavilion, to have returned to Brighton on Sa-
tury or Monday last ; but subsequent occurrences hav-

or Monday week; when his "Naval Palace" will, in all
Pr°babilitY, he again irradiated by his presence, and by
that of his most amiable Queen consort.—Brighton
Guardian.
So great was the anxiety to hear the intended
*lathy, and introduction of a plan for reform, by Mr.
Baocoualt, that seals were engaged some time before the
appointed day, and so much as a guinea given for ad-
atittance,

Among those shut out on Monday night,

fused to take even sovereigns which were tendered to him,

FASHIONABLE INTELLIGENCE. I from Quebec.

The ATTORNEY-GENERAL prayed the judgment of the
Court on the above named defendan►, who had pleaded
guilty at the last Carlisle Assizes to an indictment charging
him with having published in a periodical called the Citi-
zen, of which he was the proprietor, a false and scandalous
libel, reflecting upon the character of Sir Moetyn Briscoe,
Bart.

The defendant appeared on the floor of the Court and
put in some very long affidavits, in which he stated that
he had travelled SOO miles to receive the judgment of the
Court ; that since the libel was published his wife had
died, and he had in consequence became greatly di.tressed;
that he was so very poor that if the Court ordered him
to pay a fine, it would amount to perpetual imprisonment,
and if he was imprisoned it would be the . complete
ruin of himself and family. The affidavits then went
on to state that the Citizen was a small uustainprd paper,
of a very limited eireulation—that the libel was inserted
without any malicious feeling towards Sir M. Briscoe—
that it was a communication sent to the defendant's office,
and bearing the signature of " C. It."—that he did not
know, nor could be ascertain, who was the author, and
that he was not indemnified for costs of any legal pro-
ceedings—that he had published sub'equently a notice,
calling on the author to come forward and avow himself as
such, or otherwise he (the defendant) declared he would
give up the manuscript copy to Sir Mostyn Briscoe ; but,
instead of hie so doing, another • letter Was received
signed as before. "C. R." refusing to give up his
name, the dtfeedant in consequence looked for the letter
for the purpose of handing it over to the prosecutor,
but that he was unable to find it, and after using every pos-
sible exertion to find out the anther he had not succeeded.
He therefore published an apology, in which be expressed
his unfeigned sorrow and regret that lie should have given
circulation to anything calculated to wound or injure the
feelings of Sir M. Briscoe, and that he was willing in
any way possible to make reparation for the error that he
had fallen into. He further declared, that he did not
publish the libel from any hatred or malice towards Sir
M. Briscoe, and he therefore hoped, that an apology synth
be a much better satisfaction, and satisfy justice better,
than abutting him up in a prison.
The ATTORNEY.G6NERA I. having left the Court,
Mr. DMZ shortly addressed their Lordships in aggra-
vation. The Learned Counsel said the libel was of that

nature, and so well calculated to injure the feelings of Sir
M. Briscoe, that it would have been impossible for that
gentleman to have passed it over in silence. The defen-
dant had put in an affidavit, stating that he had made an
apology, but be (Mr. Erle) would read to their Lordships
other libels subsequently published by him, reflecting upon
the character of the prosecutor. The Learned Counsel
was about to read from the Citizen, when

Lord TEPTERDEN interposed, and said it was impossible
the Court could bear any thing from a publication, when
there was no affidavit to show that the defendant was at
all connected with that publication.
Mr. ERLE regretted that the Attorney-General had left
the Court, as it war probable that he had an affidavit.

In the absence, however, of such a document, he would
not occupy their Lwrdships' time with any further remarks,
but leave it to the Court to pronounce such a judgment as
would protect Sir M. Briscoe from any further attacks by
the defendant.

The defendant .said• that be had no Counsel, and that
he did not wish to make any observations himself ; but
trusted entirely to the merciful consideration of the Court
Mr. Justice J. Mime pronourited the judgment of the
Court. His Lordship said it was no excuse for the de.
fondant to publish an anonymotte libel, and afterwards to
say that be was not aware whet was its author. No one
who read the article could for a moment doubt but that it
was a libel, and it was the duty of the Court to take
care that such publications did not go unpunished.
It was true that the defendant had published an apology
but it was not an apology at all calculated to soothe the
feelings of Sir M. Briscoe. written as it was with so
much flippancy. The Court could nut listen to the
statement of the defendant being too poor to pay a fine,
or that itnprisonment would he ruin, as it had a duty to
perform, and protect individuals from such injurious at-
tacks. It therefore adjudged that the defendant be impri-
soned in Carlisle gaol for the space of sir week►, and, at
the expiration of that time to enter into his own recogni-
zance of 40/., and find two sureties of 20/. each, fur
his good behaviour for one year. The defendant was then
removed in custody.

THE KING V. HUTCHINSON AND OTHERS.
The Arroxwxv-Gstaaa 1. prayed the judgment of the
Court nn Henry Hutchinson, George Stewart, and John
Harris, who were convicted at the last Northumberland
Assizes of assaulting a revenue officer whilst in the execu-
tion of his duty.
The COURT sentenced Hutchinson and Stewart to nine
months', and Harris to six months', imprisonment in
Morpeth goal.

THE XING V. 11ALT AND OTHERS.
Mr. Entat prayed the judgment of the Court on
John Malt, Joseph Sharpe, and Thomas Hodgson, who
had been convicted at the Sittings at Guildhall, before
Lord Tenterden, of a conspiracy to defraud.
The COURT sentenced Malt and Sharp to twelve months'
imprisonment in Newgate, and Hodgson to one month's
imprisonment in the Marshalaea.
