" It was estimated, he observed, that it would
be necessary for the service of ISIS, to alienate
for a loan 16,000,0000 f Rentes, but from the fa-
vourable state of public credit, and the means of
reducing the expenditure, it would not be neces-
sary to alienate more than 12,00,a00 out of the
16. The Sinking Fund, in the mean time, would
•eontinne to increase.

Respecting the Second Trial of Mr. HONE yes-
terday at G►iildliill, we have adopted the same
course as we clid on that of the day before, viz. in
giving a statement of the essential parts of the
Trial, but refraining from the insertion of the of-
fensive matters which formed the grounds of the
prosecution. We have the pleasure to state, that.
our Paper is received in almost every part of the
United Kingdom, and, therefore, if we were to
in-Sett what has attracted the notice of THE
Law, we should only expose weak minds to

deinsion, and, in some degree, partake of the
guilt of those by whom they were originally, pub-
lished. " The ATTORNEY-GENERAL adopted the
sane line of argument and exhortation. The de-
fendant resorted to the sate topics for his viodi-
cation, and referred to the same authorities, in
order to justify or palliate his parodies of . Scrip
lure, &c. &c. klre must again express our regret
that such abilities and such knowledge as the de-
fendant possesses should have been so much per-
verted'. We are unwilling to say any thing that
may prejudice him in the public mind, particularly
as another charge hangs over his' head that is to
be decided this day, but when that matter is dis-
posed of we shall resume the subject, and make
sonic comments on • the nature of the alledged
Libels, and their probable tendency. We may,
however, say a word respecting ourselves. It
appears from the referent7es made by Mr. HONE
yesterday, that other public Journals have changed
their principles, and now advocate those doctrines
which they formerly opposed. Tile SUN, however,
has persevered in the same course, has been consist-
ent in supporting the best interests of the Comma-
nity, and can now-appeal to the public at large, whe-
ther, in its avowed attachment to out` happy Esta-
blishment in Church and State, it does not evince
a true indrpendence of. spirit, and a zeal for all
practicable freedom in a civilized State. We
ought, however, to observe, that as the Papers
alluded to have, in the course of time, had dif-
ferent Proprietors, the present Editors should not
be held responsible for the conduct of their prede-
