PUBLIC MEETING AT LANARK.

Saturday last, a Meeting of the Magistrates, Her--
tors, and respectable Householders of Lanark and the
vicinity, was held at Lanark, for the purpose of con-
sidering the best means for providing work for the
industrious operatives, likely to be soon out of em-
ployment. The PROVOST of Lanark was called to
the Chair.

The PROVOST stated, in general, that he and the
other Magistrates, had thought it necessary to call
the present Meeting, in order to represent to them
that, from the depression of trade, a great number of
operatives would be immediately throw out of em-
ployment, and that the town of Lanark, unless power-
fully assisted by the Gentlemen in the neighbour-
hood, could not afford means to meet the exigency
and requested that the Gentlemen present would sug-
gest such modes of occupation as they should consider
best calculated for the purpose.
The Meeting having expressed their unanimous
approbation of the conduct of the industrious open.-
tives in that part of the County,
Resolved, Ist, Collectively and individually, to promote, as
far as lay in their power, every improvement, public and pri-
vate, calculated to give employment to the industrious classes
within the Parish.

Tke Meeting thereupon appointed a Committee to
carry this Resolution into effect.
The LOAD PROVOST of Glasgow, who honoured
the Meeting with his presence on this occasion, stated,
that he conceived the thanks of the Community to
be justly due to the Provost and Magistrates, Heri-
tors, and respectable Householders of Lanark, for
the humane, provident, and efficient measures they
had adopted for the purpose of giving employment to
the distressed operatives in their populous Parish.
Mr. LiNur No, in expressing his cordial concurrence
in the sentiments of the Lord Provost of Glasgow,
said it ought, again and again, to be inculcated on
the minds of the operatives (now suffering under a
pressure which, he trusted, would be of short dura-
tion, and which they had sustained in the most ex-
emplary manner), that, in "all times of their exigen-
cies and distress, they would invariably find the he-
reditary Nobility and Gentry of the country, the Ma-
gistrates, and the respectable classes of the commu-
nity, to be their best, truest, and most efficient friends.
The thanks of the Meeting were unanimously
voted to the Provost of Lanark, for his conduct in
the Chair.

Several Gentlemen, before they left the County-
hall, specified particular pieces of work which they
were ready to give to those operatives who may be
disposed to labour in the fields.,

A very respectable Meeting took place on Friday,
at Blackburn, pursuant to Publ!c Notice. Resolu-
tions were entered into, and an Address has been pre-
pared, which is intended shortly to be presented to
his Royal Highness the PnlNce of WALES, expres-
sive of the firm attachment of this district to the Con-
stitution in Church and State.

A Society is forming at Birmingham for " the Re-
futation and Suppression of Blasphemy and Sedition,
and for Supporting the Civil Power and Established
Authorities. The Society is to consist of all persons
who have signed the Loyal Declaration, and of all
other inhabitants of the town and neighbourhood,
who may he favourable to the object.
A Meeting of the Lieutenancy of the County of
Denbigh, was to be held on the 9th of November, at
Ruthin, convened by the Lord Lieutenant of that
County, Sir W.• Wvsbr. Bart. for the purpose of
adopting the best means for aiding the Civil Power,
in the preservation of the public peace.
It appears that some of the Staffordshire Yeomanry
were assailed with stones in the streets of Burslem,
on returning from their duty on Monday se'nnight
(the day of the Meeting of the Potteries), by a num-
ber of persons collected there; and Mr. THOMAS
GALLIMORE, of the Newcastle and Pottery Troop,
received a severe blow in the face from a stone. A
reward of twenty guineas has been offered for the
discovery of the offender.

Sunday morning, bet Ween two and three o'clock,
a fire broke out in the counting.house of Mr. KING'S
cotton-mill, Centre-street, Tradeston, Glasgow. Pre-
vious to the arrival of the city engines, the counting-
house was burnt down, and the fire had made consi-
derable progress in the lower flat of the mill, but by
the prompt exertions of the firemen under the able
superintendence of Mr. BLACK, they soon succeeded
in extinguishing the names, without much further
damage being sustained.

MR. CARLILE.
:,LOTION FOR A NEW TRIAL.
%morning Mr. Carlik was brought into Court,
the purpose of affording him the opportunity of
fordirg new Trial. The grounds on which he
totted it were—first, That of the twenty-four
':nen uho formed the reduced Jury, one had

Ind twelve months; secondly, That another of
se Lints had not been summoned. A third
And tn `NIIICh he rested still more strongly was,
his trial he had been prevented, by the inter-

wickedly and maliciously publishing a blasphe-
`c'll; but had he been permitted to make his

ishcd to know which was the Parliamentary Bible,
or the Bible protected by the Statute Law ; for, as
the translation is incorrect, if any one can be the re-
vealed will of GOD, it must be the Hebrew version
only."

Justice BEST—" We cannot allow the defendant
to go on in this manner."
Jiistice BAYLEY—" Christianity is the law of the
land, and the Bible the foundation of Christianity.—
You not only deny parts of the Bible, but the whole
of it, in the libel you published."
CAni.ths--" The age of Reason speaks favourably
of parts of The 13il1er
Justice BAYLET-48 But it impugns it generally;
and this caanoube permitted in a Court of Law."
The CHM JUSTICI now read part of the libel,
which called the Bible " a book of obscene stories."

CARLILI,-." The assertion of Mr. Paine, in that
part, is supported by other evidence."
Cuter Jusrice—" The Court cannot permit you
to proceed thus. Are there any other points on which
you ground a motion for a new trial?"'
CAItI.ILE" I had subpccnaed the Archbishop of
Canterbury, the Jewish High Priest, and the most
learned of all the different Sectaries, to prove that
Christianity could not be defined, and therefore could
not be proved to be the law of the land."
CHIEF JUSTICE-" You could not expect that an
examination o prove that could take place."

Justice BEST—" If a defendant chuse to appear in
hi, own person, rather than employ Counsel, he must
conform to the rules of the Court."

CARLILE—" Christianity cannot be defined, my
Lord."

CHIEF JUSTICE-" We will not suffer any man to
say the truth of Christianity is not proved, or that it
is not the law of the land."

CARLILC—" Another ground, my Lord, is, that
the Jury retired to consider of their verdict, and sent
for two Statutes, which ycur Lordship hesitated to
send; and called the Jury back, charging them again,
much, as I conceive, to my prejudice, and giving x
wrong exposition of the law."
Justice BATLIT" It is the duty of a Judge to
explain all matters of law; but if a Judge gave an
erroneous exposition of any point to the Jury, it would
afford just ground for a new trial."
The Cum., JUSTICE gated, that when he summed
up the evidence, he intended to have noticed the Sta-
tutes to the Jury ; but not having done so, when they
returned, he read the two Acts, and explained them,
and afterwards gave them to the Jury.
Justice BAYLEY said, the Act of the 53d George
111. was not a general repeal. of the Statute of William.
Justice fissr--" One point in the new Act is, that
every person must declare himself to be a Christian,
before he can claim the benefit of it."
Justice BAYLIY--" The Act was made to relieve
a sect of Christians called Unitarians."
CHIEF JUSTICE—" In charging the Jury, I gave
that exposition of :.he Act which I conceived to be
correct."
Justice BAYLEY—" If you look at the Statute of
the 9th and 10th of William, you will find that it
enacts certain pains and penalties against all those
who deny the Trinity, or the truth of Christianity.
The Act of the 53d of George 111. only repeals that
part of it relating to the Trinity, and does not tolerate
the denying that the Bible is of Divine origin."
Justice HotnoYn—" The Statute of William is
not repealed, and if it was, it could not avail the de-
fendant, as the Common Law is still in force, and
the indictment against him was founded on the Com-
mon Law."
Justice BEST—" Before the Act of the 53d Geo.
111. was passed, the Bishops were consulted, and they
certainly could never have tolerated a denial of the
truth of Christianity. But the Act was made to re-
lieve persons who do not deny its truth ; and ex-
pressly requires a declaration from the parties claim-
ing its benefit, that they are Christians. How, there-
fore, can a man be so intoxicated as to think he
comes ender the meaning of this Act, whose blasphe-
mies are so daring?"
CHIEF JUSTICE--" Any other point you wish to
state, Defendant?"
CARLILE—" The Court does not appear to wish
that I f110111d."
CHIEF JUSTICE—" The Court cannot allow you
to deny Christianity to be of divine origin."
CARLILE—" My Lordt I look to the title of the
Act of the 53d Geo. 111. which states, that it is to
relieve persons who impugn the doctrine of the
Trinity."
Justice Bayttv—" For that only' "
Mr. CARLILE, being again asked what other
grounds he had for his motion, stated, that the Jury
had separated without his consent. Ile was proceed-
ing to complain of not having been allowed that de-
fence which he conceived essential, when he was in-
terrupted by the
Cut et, JUSTICE, who said, " You want to go over
the ground again of denying the Bible to be of Di-
vine urigin, aad that Chtistianity is the law of the
land. An indictment, charging a man with denying
the truth of ',Christianity, does nut admit that he
should do it in his defence. It is not by a persever-
ance in infringing the law, or the rules of the Court,
that a defenclank can overcome."
Mr. CARLIIA having stated, that he had no other
point to offer,

His Lordsbill w

fendant ; but 'declared, that neither the fact of one
Juror being dead, of another not being summoned,
nor that the Jury had separated, were' sufficient
grounds for a new trial.

Justice BAYLEY said, the publishing a blasphemous
libel was a high crime and misdemeanour, which had
a most injurious effect on the minds of the Public,
and therefore should be carefully watched by the
law. The Jury had been twice adjourned on the
trial of the defendant. It was often essential to the
purposes of justice, that an adjournment should take
place ; for if the Jury were compelled to come •to a
decision, when fatigued by a long trial, the conse-
quences might often be injurious. The Jury, too,
adjourned with the consent of the defendant ; and as
to the separation of the Jury, generally speaking, he
conceived they bad a right to separate, unless the
Court should make an order to the contrary. The
Officers of the Court could not always know whether
all the Jurors were living or not ; and if one had not
been summoned, the Officer might be punished ; but,
he had no hesitation in saying, that neither this, nor
any of the grounds urged by the defendant, was suf-
ficient for allowing a new trial.

Justice HOLROYD—The offences of libel and blas-
phemy are punishable by the common law of the
land : and, therefore, the Act on which the defendant
rests cannot serve him. As to the separation of the
Jury, that point had been long settled. In the time
lof Judge Hale, in a civil case, one of the Jurymen
separated from the rest without the consent of the
Court, but still this did not invalidate the verdict.—
The objection that one of the;drors was not sum-
moned, should have been made before the Jury were
sworn. He saw no grounds for a new trial.

Mr. Justice BEST said it was one of the inconve
nienccs attending ate individual defending himself
and not by his Counsel, that the Court were often
compelled to listen to absurdities which would dis-
grace the lowest individual in the country. It is not
competent in a defence, to question-The wisdom or
propriety of the law under which a person is tried.
The law has declared that blasphemy is an offence
against it : and it is only the duty of the Court to
administer it. The attempt to justify the libel was
ridiculous. As well might a man tried for murder
come forward and say—' It is true, I have killed
the man ; but I can prove to the Court that mur-
der is not a crime!'—lt was impossible for any man
of the meanest understanding not to know that the
conduct of the defendant was an offence against the
law and the rules of the Court."—He agreed with
his brother Judges on the points stated by the de-
fendants .-points quite absurd, and altogether in-
sufficient to afford any ground for a new trial.
The CHIEF JUSTICE, after consulting with the
other Judges, said, " Let the defendant be remanded,
and brought up for judgment on Tuesday next."
Mr. Garble then left the Court, in custody of the
Tipstaff.

Mr. SCARLET?, yesterday, in the Court of King's
Bench, adverted to an assertion made by Mr. HUNT,
that there was no Gentleman at the Bar who could
be found to move a criminal proceeding regard-
ing the late transactions at Manchester, and ob-
_served, that he bad no hesitation in asserting, for the
honour of the profession, that professional assistance
had never been denied, when regularly applied for.
The Duke of KENT, his Duchess, and the family,

Wednesday evening, the Lark, Captain Movca,
arrived at Dover, from Calais, with the remains of
the late Countess of SH APTESBURY, who died at Flo-
rence about a month since. Yesterday morning the
corpse was forwarded to Dorchester, for interment.
Monday a Troop •of the 10th Hussars marched

COVENT-GARDEN TnEarac.--The Tragedy of
Macbeth was last night performed. The character
of the ambitious Thane was represented by a-Gentle-
man of the name of lIUDOART, who, though new to,
this Theatre, has frequently appeared before the Pub-,
lie. His performance, viewed as a whole, was a sen-
sible effort—not an effort of powerful genius. It was
extremely well received. Mrs. BUNS'S Lady Mac-
beth is creditable to her judgment. The part of
Macdzfif was filled by Mr. ABBOTT, in a very meri-
torious style. The House was respect ibly attended.
The supervisors of the Excise have for some weeks
past had their officers in possession of the scenery in
the different Theatres. Last week the question was
decided by the Honourable Board of Excise in favour
of the Theatres.
Yesterday, Captaih SIMPSON, whilst driving along
Oxford-street, in his gig, at a sharp pace, unfortu-

into the water, and instantly disappeared. Her com-1
panion, impelled by a strong desire to save her fel-
low-creature, plunged into the water, which was at
that time considerably swelled by recent rains, and
reached the lifeless corpse; and having got it sak
out of the water, went back to the Hillock, in a state,
of distraction, and related the melancholy accident.
The body was immediately carried home, and every
means used toaestore animation, but without effect.
