Satutday night, at the rising of the Old 'galley
Court, this cekhrated eharaeter, who had takers
his seat at the Colitis& table, and who had pre-
viously risen to make a motion, but vr.ls prevented
by the proceedings before the Court, now rose and
stated, that the Grand Jury had found a true bill
against certain patties, for a gross and scandalous
libel upon Isis character ; and his motion rras, that
he should receive notice of bail, and that the par-
ties should also be called upon to find bail.
The Commopi SERGEANT asked bin who were
the parries, and Ifhat was the nature of the libel ?
Mr. 111 mt said, the indictment was againt John
Stoddart and Edward Quin, Esters. and A. Mitchell,
for a scandalous libel upon his ov:racier.
Mr. CoMMos SERGEANT asked if they bad no-
tice of the bill having been preferred against
(him ? •

Mr. Hunt was not avraie that they had.
The COMMON SERGEANT then said he would
not call upon them for bail on a Saturday night ;
and asked if the Gentlemen had been there during
the evening ?
No answer was given to this question.
The COMMON SERGEANT.—Mr: Clark, what is
the usual sum ? What is the sum, Mr. Hunt,
you expect them to be bound in ?"
Mr. Hunt.--1 have to move, that they be held
in recognizance of 4001, and--
Mr. COMMON SERGEANT.—The Court at pre-
sent only litmus that it is a libel ; but before they
call upon the defendants to enter into excessive
bail, it ought to know that the libel was 018 most
dangerous nature. What is it ? read the libel,
Mr Clark.

Mr. Clark, Deputy Clerk of the Arraigns, was
about to read it, when Mr. Hunt said that it was
a gross and scandalous libel, reflecting ou his
character.

Mr. Commort SERGEANT.—It does not impute
any thing against you punishable by the criminal
laws of the country, 1 suppose. In ordinary cases
of libel, we generally call upon the parties to hold
themselves in tecognizances of 801. each, and two
-uretits of 401. each ; but 1 suppose your motion
is to► take a warrant against them to-night.
Mr. Hunt.—lt is. I would certainly wish to
secure them.
Mr. COMMON SERGRANT.—Then the Court will
not grant it on Saturday night.
Mr. Hunt.-1 don't care : 1 have applied for it.

Mr. COMMON SERGEANT.—If the motion had
heel' :wide by Counsel, such a thing would not
Oi,ve been requested.
Mr. Hunt.—lt was the suggestion of Counsel.
Mr. CommoN SERGEANT.—IS it within the city
of London ?
Mt •-l-lunt/..•-It in.

Mr.COMMON SERGEANT.—Do you think the de...
fendmos will run avniy before Monday?
Mr. Hunt.—Not the slightest ; I have no such
thpught.
Mr. COMMON SERGEANT.—Then where is the

use of it ? where can be the use of it ? If you are
prepared to make an affidavit that they are per-
son likely to run away, in that case I may grant
the motion ; but if you are not prepared to say,
upon affidavit, that they are persons likely to run
away, I cannot accede to it.
Mr. Hunt.—l cannot do that ; but from the
charac►er of the libel, 1 think they are likely to
run away.

Mr. CommoN.gEnoEANT.-1f you make an affi-

!avit of it, it ‘vill be another thing.

Mr. Sheriff DESANGEs, who was upon the bench,
said he had not the slightest objection to be an-
sw•erable for the Gentlemen, although he bad no
knovi ledge of the parties.
Mr. Hut& said, that he did not require it ; but

he might even in that event think it right to exa-
mine tha► Gentleman upon the subject ot his
competence to bail three such persons.

The COMMoN SERGEANT then ordered the war-
rant to be suspended, that the parties should
have notice to prepare themselves in the usual
bail of 801. each, and two sureties in 401. each ;
and that 48 hours' notice of bail be given to Mr.
Hunt, the plaintiff.
Mr. Hunt.--Then these are the stuns you bold
them in ?
Mr. COMMON SERGEANT.--.The Officer of the
Court has teceived the order. •

Mr. Hunt.--Then I have clone my duty, and I
came here for that.purpose.
Mr. Hunt •then -quitted the Court, which was
very crowded, and the greatest silence was ob-
serveci during, the making of this motion. Shortly
after he withdrew., the CpktmoN4ltOttT had
'resoked that notice should be served upon. the
parties, and Mr. Limit was sent after, to be ap-
prized of that circuinstance, but he
.had gone too
far, and the Court immediately.atterwar.ds ad-
journed.

PAR T g was at c...hoenbrunti, he used sometimes to
amuse himself with a game at vingt-et-un. One
e:ning, in wiiich been very lucky, he
shook the pieces ol gold he had won in his.hanth
and said, The Germans love these little Napo-
leons, (I,,n't tl•ey_?'—' Yes,' replied RAPP, they
do, sire; but then they are nut at all fond of the
Gleat one.' "

the King, " if any matt puts you to death, I will

The,following anecdote tesPeCting chi.•, excel
lent Poet is take') from the Statistical Survey of
-Slane!, in the Diocese of Ardagh, and County of
'Longford, nOw in the press :
" 1,%65.-411 this year The 74v:reller appeared,
and the A►tthor was introduced to the Earl of
Northumberland, at that time Lord Lieucen 011 of
Ireland, and he recommended 4►ls brother He►try
for preferment. In this year his rssays were pub-
lished, and he petitio►te,i Lord Bute lit vain to
he allowed a salary -ro enable him to penetrate
into the interior o; Asia. His ottlnorial was un-
noticed and neglected. Goldsmith on this occa-
sion wanted a friend such as Lord Halifax prow( d
to Addison upon the' arrival of the news of the
victory of Blenheim. Ott tl}at orcasion,•tba Lord
Treasurer Godolphin, in the fulness of his joy,
meeting with the above-mentioned Noblemin,
told I►im, " It was a pity tl►e memory of such tt.
victory should ever be forgot ;" he added, " that
he .was pretty sure his Lordship, who was so dis-
tinguished a patron of men of letters, must
_know
some person whose pen was capable of doing
justice to the action." Lord Halifax replied,
that -he _did indeed know such a person, but
would not desire hint to write upon the subject
I►is Lordship had mentioned. Ti Lord Trea-
surer entreated to know the reason of •o unkind
a resolution ; Lord Halifax briskly told him,
that he had long, with indignation, obscrved that
while many Fools and Blockheads were maintained
in their pride and.. uxury.at. the expense of the
public, such men as were really an honour to their
country, and to the age they lived in, were
shamefully suffered to languish in obscurity; that
for his own. part, he would never desire any get►-
tleman of parts and ,learning to cut ploy his time
in celebrating a Ministry who had neither the
justice nor generosity to make it worth his while.
" The Lotd Treasurer calmly replied, that he
would seriously consider of what his Lordship
had said, and endeavour to give no fresh occasion
for such reproaches ;. hut that, in the present case,
he took it upon hims;lt to promise, that any gen-
tleman whom his Lordship should name to him,
as capable of celehiating the late action, should
find it worth his while to exert his genius on
that subject. With this encouragement, Lord
Halifax named Mr. Addison. The Celebrated
Poem, entitled The Campaign, was soon after-
wards published, and the Author found the Lord
Treasurer as good as his word."
