Mr. CAMPBELL opened the Proceedings. He
stated this to be an Information filed by his Ma-

esty's Attorney-General against the defendant,

for publishing a certain Book, denominated
" Paine's Age of Reason ;" in which was insert-
ed, cettain libellous passages of and concerning
the Holy Scriptures, to which he had pleaded Not

The ATTOR'SgY-GENERAG then proceeded to
address the Jury, and taki ig the offensive pas-
sages as lie went on, denied that this informa-
tion bad been filed with any intent to restrict
the liberty of free discussion. The Lent ned
Gentleman proceeded at considerable length to dis-
cuss the various Counts of the information, and
concluded by a forcible appeal to the Jury to give
the subject an impartial investigation.
Mr. GRIFFIN SWATSON, Clerk to the Solicitor
of the Treasury, proved the purchasing the book
on the Igth of last December. The defend-
ant supplied him, and asked if witness did
not want
.half-a-dozen copies. The book was
furnished without hesitation, and he paid 10§.6(1.
for it. Carlile was proceeding in his defence
when our Paper went to Press.
His Grace the ArchbiShop of CANTEdBURY was
present the whole of the morning, but from the
voluminous appearance of the materials for the
defence, it does not appear likely that his Lord-
ship will be called to-day.

INEW CoALtertort.—The .following note on a
late extraordinary junction in Politics is taken
from The Leeds Intelligeneer of yesterday : •
c‘ Mr. EotTon,—The unnatural nature of the
union between the Whigs and Radicals (if such is
to take place), is too self-evident to he further
proved, than by stating, that the requisition for a
County Meeting, is signed by nearly all the
Boroughmongers in Yorkshire, amongst the fore-
most of whom ate, the Dike of Nottvocx, and
Lords FITZWILLIAM, MILTON, THANIPT, Cow-
PER, ALTHoIiP., DUNDAs, and YAttaottouan, all
decided enemies to radical reform. This mon-
strous union cannot lung exist ; and, suspect,
the happy couple will fall out before the honey-
moon (which commences next Tivurday) is half
over. •

Pfluzcs LEOPOLD.--lAby Castle, the residence
of an ancient and truly British family, was last
week honour cld by the presence of his Roy:Ai
Highness Prince LEOPOLD and his suite. On the
approach of the illustrious visitant, iiii Royal
Highness was drawn by the populace through the
park into the hall of the Castle, and was saluted
by the discharge of 21 cannon. The Right Hon.
the Earl and Countess of DAELINOTONT received
their Royal Guest with every other mark of ho-
nourable distinction, and with every possible
token of English hospitality and. dignified respect.
After staying with the Earl and Countess as long
vs his trAvelling arrangements would permit, the
Prince pursued his tour, highly gratified,
&ib% with his visit, and delighted with the re-
trospect which such a mansion must excite in the
bosom of sensibility, connected as that. retrospect
must be with the interesting and important oc-
currences of other times.

Mr. PEGLan, King's Messenger, left town on
Sunday with despatches for Italy.
Mr. litto►vx, King's Messenger, left town yes-
terday evening with despatches for Paris.
The Duke of WELLINGTON is gone down to
Maresfield, in Sussex, the seat of Sir Jon:. S E,L -
LET, to join a shooting party on a visit there.
His Excellency the Persian Ambassador, ac-
companied by his Secretary, Captain WiccocK,
will leave his residence, Charles-street, Berkeley-
square, early to-morrow morning (Wednesday)
for Cheltenham, where his Excellency intends
' staving some time for the improvement of his
health ; fro►m thence he viii proceed to York-
shire, and in nil probability to Scotland.
A Petitio❑ has been prepared, and has already
received the signatures of many hundreds of re-
spectable persons which is to be presented to the
PRINCE REGENT, praying that his Royal High-
ness would extend the clemency of the Crowr, t,►
the unfortunate Henry Slent, who was convicted
of wounding his .unfaithful wife.

This morning every avenue leading to the
Guildhall in the City of London was crowded al-
most to suffocation. Shortly after the doors were
opened, Carlilc, accompanied by fiunt and several
other persons,a (i ved io b ack ney-coachicon veying
an immense quantity of Books, Papers, &c. Shortly
' after they enterer) the Court, the Chief Justice tank
his seat on the Bench. Mr. liuNT addressed his
Lordship, requesting that the trial that had been
so long pending' between himself and the persons
belonging to " The New Times" might be brought
on, inconformity tot he notices that had been given,
which pot it the first 011 the list for trial at the
present Sittiogs. this Lordship requested he
(HUNT) would not interrupt the proceedings of
the Court, and stated that Thurstlay was the day
most probable for the Trial to conic on.
There not being a sufficient number of Special
Jurors present, a Tales was prayed, and the fol-
lowing were sworn,—

POETRY.

(From Me Northampton Mercury.]

ON. OUP, isIUSICAL FESTIVAL
" When Music, Heavenly Maid, was young,"
As once the muse of COLLINS snug,
On Grecian shores she tuned the lay,
Arid every passion own'd her sway;
Grief, trope, and Fear, enraptured stood,
Byt urns were raised, by turns subdued
Well could the heaven-taught Maid restrain
The Hero's rage, or Lover's pain.
But when the Athenian taste was fled,
Ahdi all the Fre of OrtrnEt/S dead,
Then taught the nymph tier power of sound
Midst patriot zeal, on Roman ground,
And Echo bore the enlivening strains
To linger on Italian plains.—
Thence fled the Maid, and deign'd t' impart
To Northern Climes her tuneful art,
Bad them each Server thought controul.
And harmonize the melting soul ;
Saw Iranr.r.'s mighty Genius rise,
And lift devotion to the shies,
The songs of sacred praise inspire
And swell the full, majestic lyre.
Bad thee, Moza RD, the strain prolong,
Through all the lengthening maze of song,
Still loved thy varying sounds to hear,
And own'J thy " Requiem" with a tear
T:ien rose with rapture, to supply
Her HaYDN's Soul of Harmony.

Where midst the speed of passing Aaysb
Now pours the Nymph her happiest lays?
She winga her flight to Albion's isle,
Where each fair science deigns to smile;
There strings her lyre, time wakes the tale
Of peace and joy through erery vala.

Soon where the NI-nis fair streams arc found,
Her full and tuneful choir shall sound;
There shall she pause on hovering wing,
Where "SrEractsrs," " SALmoN," " BRAIIAM," sing,
Where " Ca.smtn." leads the harmonious train,
And " LINDLEY" draws the full-toned strain;
Where " Flynn," with more than Triton's skill,
The trumpet's brazen throat shall fill.
The " Sainted Roofs" shall catch the song,
The " Vaulted Dome" the notes prolong,
Which Mercy's triumph would proclaim,
And sing the Great " MESSTAII'S" name,
Or echo back from Heaven to earth,
" The praise of Gon," Creation's birth.
SPORTING INTELLIGENCE.

BETTING-ROONI, Om ► I.
This being settlinz day for the disputed Leger, there was
much bustle, and plenty of money exchanged. It had been
stated, that although the .Tocl;ey elolt had decided that An-
tonio won the race, they not decided that bets were to
by paid. they were, however, paid yesterday, as if no dispute
had taken place, but as usu.il oil great races there were two
ur three defaulters.—There was but little betting, as follows:
5 to 4 Botiiface agst. Allegro, the match next Monday.

THE THEATRE.—The 6Uspicious Husband, one
of the last of the old Coin dies, and partaking
strongly of their improbalities, was represented
last night at Drury-Lane Theatre, and effectively
cast in the general allotment of the characters.--
ELLISTON, on his appearance as Ranger, was,
greeted with the most gratifying zeal by the au-
dience. He performed the part with his usual
vivacity and effect. r.e audience manifested much
satisfaction at the return 01 POPE in the character of
Strietland which he supported'in a vet y respecta-
ble manner. This Actor, who once wielded the
tragic truncheon with great success, is now con-
tent to appear its characters suited to the more
sober period of his time of life and in that pro-
vince he will be a strong prop to the Theatre.
Mrs. EDWIN, in Clarinda, was very spirited. Mrs.
MANDY:4 resumed the part of Jocintha, and was
well received. Mrs. OEGEEti Mrs. Strictland was
imeresting; and Miss KELLY ant' ENIGHT, ill
tire servants, afforded much entertainment. Rus-
set.t. hardly threw foppery enough into the part
of Jack Meggot, but the character is obsolete, and
difficult to support without affectation, revolting,
with all its good humour. There is no help for
the improbabil;ties of this piece. If a modern
Ranger were to enter a house by a rope-ladder, it
is probable that Jdstice Bums would examine
him by laws very different from those of the
Drama and if Gentlemen were to draw their
swords, and begin tilting at noon-day on the open
streets, the People would probably treat them as
Madmen. When QuIN, who was consulted on a
proper name for this piece, considering the chief
incidents as unworthy of legitimate Comedy, he
said that it ought to be called The Hat and the
Ladder.

The- Tragedy of The C.;rib Chief, represented
last season at Drury-lane Theatre, has been
brought forward at Ednr.trgh, at considerable
expence. Mr. KEAN was of course the Hero.
Mr. SINCLAIR, Lite of Covent-Garden Theatre,
who has been studying vcith much advantage at
Paris,underPgwontNt and other eminent [(lavers,
has left the French capital, and gone to 'Milan,
where lie is to devote the winter season to the
acquisHon of further improvement in his profes-
sion. Milan possesses the best Theatre in Italy,
and is much superior to Florence in point of
musical merit and attraction.

COURAGE.—On Saturday, t‘vo little boys named
William and Robert Carruthers, the former ten
years old, the latter eight, sons of Mr. Robt. Car-
ruthers, of Lower Thatms-street, were together
at Billingsgate-stairs. The youngest, who had a
favourite little dog, was in the act of washing
the little animal, when his foot slipped and lie
was precipitated into the water; and the current,
which was running very strong, carried him
some distanca. The eldest, observing the dan-
ger of his brother who was struggling in the
water, at the peril of his own life instantly leaped
in after hint to endeavour to save him ; he atter
some difficulty caught him round the waist, and
used every exertion to bring his brother ashore ;
but, finding his efforts were in vain on account Of
the tide, he screamed aloud for assistance, and
Greenwich Waterman rowed towards them and
succeeded in rescuing the two brothers from their
perilous situation.
