a newswender and bookseller, of Pulteney-court,
Yulteney• street, Golden square.
• Mr. CONANT was the Sitting Magistrate'; and
the sale of the work being \proved in the usual
way, he asked the defendants whether they had
any thing to say.—They both pleaded generally,
ignorance of the libel, and the impossibility of
their making themselves acquainted with the
contents of every book they might sell in the
way of their trade. The Magistrate, however,
without comment, told them they roust find
security for their appearance at the Sessions,
and nor being prepared so to do, they were locked
up till the evening. Soon after seven 'o'clock; the
Magistrate having again taken his seat on the
Bench, the prisoners were brought in, and they
produced bail, which, after a very close examine-
don, was accepted. Mr. Cathie was one of them;
and when he offered himself, the following die-
Jove took place :
Magiatiate—" Well, Mr. Carlile, are you come
here to be bail for this person ?" (Whitchorn.)

Mr. Carlile—" I am."
Magistrate—" Can yon swear that you art
worth 50/. after the payment of all your debts
and recognizances i"
Mr. Carlile—" I can.",
1118,-gistrate—" This is a serious business, Mr.
Carlile, and it is necessary for me to be particular
with you. Are you aware that you ate already
under recognizances in this office to the amount
of 1501. r
Mr. Carlile—l am perfectly aware of it."
Magistrate—" You are under tecognizances in
other places, I believe, and it is necessary I
should know to what amour 1"
Mr.Carlile—" I am under no rzcognizances ex-
cept for myself, personally, and these are to the
amount,of 16001."
Magistrate—" Then altogether your recogni•
zances amount t 0,17501. 1"
Mr. Carlile—" I am aware that they do."
Magistrate—" You are upon your oath, Mr.
Carlile ; and can you venture to swear that, after
the payment of all your just debts, and'the
faction of all these recognizances, that you are
worth 501..?"
. Mr. Carlile—" I can swear that I am worth
20001. atter satisfaction of all these things."
Magistrate—" Are you aware of the offence
with which :this person is charged—it is for a se.
ditions libel i

Mr. Caqile—" am myself the author of that
seditious libel, at you call it, Sir, and of course
perfectly aware of it."
His bail was then accepted with the others,
and the-pasties were about to leave the office,
whelythe Clerk made, the usual demand of 2s. 4d.
for tees from each defendant, which they Seve-
rally 'refused. td pay ; and the Clerk observing
that they would be suthmoned for it hereafter,
:Carlile replied, '' Then we can• :try the lc+
gality of the demand ; in the mean time I should
resist the payment." Here the conversation ceas-
ed and the parties ilithed.

'Yesterday tin 'inquisition was taken at, the
Adam and Eve-, Adam-street, Rotherbithe, before
Mr. JEM.DagTT, Coroner for Surrey, on the hotly

to what it would hu absurdity, madness, and ,v

instead of the head. No, Sir, it is a Mosatic Y

awl such i► must continue, if it is to cou:tnue
that admired and envied Fabric, the Bittrisn

CoNsmtmos !
With these people it is easy to deal ; their pro.
ceedings are too &dike, their declarations too
open to he mistaken. The greatest difficulty is
with the Whigs, who, when out of po,ter, ap-
proach so nearly to the Levellers, as 11-artily to
be distin nished tr,on them, In power, it is no
le,s difficult to distinguish them trOm Tories ;

for, in short, within the present generation, Tory
and Ilrhig have had little othrr thAt, in
the Ministry, or out. The present Whigs, in.
deed, have heensso los% not, as alnilst to bt,•e
been consolidated ‘Vhigs against their will. They
have been furced into cnnsktencv with them-

WV'S ; and, to do them justice-, they have 11,+t
lately ventured !ipo so many ,vproaches 40 the
Repnbl:clns and Leveikre, rib we have known 'he

party make, at some very mernorThle prrjoiis,—
But though !h-, chiefs of the Parry have not so
much transgressed, (tor which tht.y receive the
abuse of COBBETT, Howe, and'Co.) (heir hire!iug
writers have less scruple ; and their conduct is
at least connived at by he party. They are al-
ways ready to call the defence of the Constitu-
tion tyranny ; the necessary support of the Lases,
cruelty and massacre : !ways prompt to under-
take the defence of the guii, y, and to blacken,
by all kinds of calumny, the persons in power.
These despicable' animals join aud promote the
cry against taxes, which they know to be indis-
pensably necessary ; and encourage the pretence
that they are laid on for the pleasure and advan-
tage of the Ministers, though they are convinced •
in their souls, if any souls they have, that no•
thing is so irksome or so difficult to a Minister
as to lay on taxes ; and that the only death-blow
to the hopes of any Opposition would be, for the
Minister to have the opportunity of carrying on
the Government from year to year without new
loans. These are the faithless neutrals, who are
always mareeuvring in the confines of the war;
who, if they do not actually join the enemy, do
all they can to obstruct the operations of their
friends. They would not have one parry pre-
vail, but they are very happy to embarrass the
other.

Shame awaits them all ! Shame, diligently
earned, and well deserved ! Our Constitution has
now been too well explained, by Writers of uni-
versal celebri,y, to be misunderstood by any per-
sons of intelligenne; it is 'too firmly established
in the minds of all, above the populace, to be
overthrown, again by 'he desperate or the igno-
Tant. Men the pariotic hymn of God save the
King is sting by nrai:itudes, and received with
seclanations, it is not merely, for the person of
our venerable King, beloved as he is, enthroned
as he is most justly in the hearts all his worthy
subjects, it is not oily fOr him, whose life no
one can imagine to be at present very valuable to
himself, though highly so to us ;—it is not only
for him that the prayer is offered up : it is, that
we may continue to have a KING) Defender of
our Faith, Defender of our Laws, Defender of
our Liberties, Dt.teuiler of our Property ! If 'a
good King,. the happier certainly for us and for
himself ; but if a bad one, we all know that lie
Would be within the contr4„l of the Constitution,
and therefore unable matr,olly to hurt us.

Among the ekillc maino.cripts, which occasion-
ally defile our waits, I hAve lately seen God save
the People ! If this were intended really as a
prayer for the people, for their prosperity, for
their happiness, here and hereaftcr, what good
wan would not join in it with heart and soul ?
But it is meant, I fear; to substitute God sane the
People for GOD SAVE THE KING; to make the
Pet,ple the King, and transfer the loyalty to them,
which, is only due to him: In this sense it is
ebony-able ! The prayer most wanted now is,
Gud bare the People from their flatterers and eor-
ruptet s; from their own errors, and their own had
passi.ps ! God save 'hem from these things, and
rlirti they still unite, to a man, in the truly British
Courus of GOD SAVE THE KIN() !

Yes, 11.1 r. Editor, it is against REPtIBITCANS
anti LaTELLETB that we must stand upon our
guard. 1 too, iiice Sir FaAscts, could call upon
the 'Country-Gentlemen to rouse amid exert thetn-
selves ; but it would be to rouse, that they may
'defend their property from spoil, and their dig-
ui,y Irons :legraddtion. And th,is e'dll then most
certainly would answer, if the danger should be-

come more pressing, such an energy am!
unanimity as would soon chive tile Couspirat ors to
despair. This, Sir, is the true name of those
whoa► you arid others have complimented with
the title of RADICAL REFoRNIEBI. Reform, with
a vengeance ! They would reform the Constitu-
tion to what it never was, nor ever ought to he ;
