TRIAL OF MR CABLILE.

COURT OP KING'S BENCH, GUILDHALL.
As early as eight o'clock this morning, Guildhall
and all the avenues leading to it were crowded to
excess, with indiiiduals anxious to obtain admission
to hear the trial• of -Mr. CAALILE, for the republics=
tion of Paine's Age of Reason. Mr. Sheriff PARILYNS
was in attendance before eight o'clock, and we were
informed that upwards of SOO Constables were also
present, to assist in the preservation of order. It was,
notwithstanding, with great difficulty that the Barris-
ten, Jurymen, and other persons engaged in the
cause, could force their way through the crowd.

At five minutes after nine Mr. Sheriff PARICYNS
ordered the public door of the Court to be opened.
The rush was tremendous, but ia consequence of the
floor of the Court having been prudently pen:folded
with strong wooden partitions, it was immediately
filled without any accident occurring.
Mr. Sheriff PARKYNS now took his station on the
right of the Chief-Justices chair. Mr. Sheriff ROTH-
WELL entered a few minutes afterwards, and 'hewed
by his looks the advantage which his junior•coadju-
tor had gained over him.
At a quarter past nine, Mr. HUNT entered the
Court with a large bundle (apparently of books) in
his hands. He took a place at the Clerks' table.
Mr. CARLILE entered the Court shortly afterwards,
attended by two Gentlemen, one of whom, we were
informed, is engaged as a stenographist, to take a re-
port of the trial.
After a few minutes had elapsed, Mr. CARLILZ
rose, and, addressing himself to Mr. Sheriff PAR-
KYNS, requested that he would order that certain
persons who were outside, with parcels of books ne-
cessary to his defence, should be admitted.—Mr.
Sheriff instantly gave an order to that effect.

The ATTORNEY•GENERAL and SOLICITOR GENE-
RAL now took their places within the Bar.
Mr. CARLILE again addressed Mr. Sheriff PA a-
KYNS, and stared, that his order for the admission of
the persons with the books had not been obeyed.
Mr. COLINGRIDGE (whose polite solicitude for the
accommodation of every person necessarily present
cannot be too highly praised), observed, that five per-
sons had already got admission as friends of Mr.
Carlile.
Mr. Sheriff PARKYNS asked Mr. Carlile whether
the parcels of books he alluded to were necessary for 11
his defence ?—Mr. CARLILE—" Most necessary."
Mr. Sheriff PARKYNS—" Then by all means let
them he brought in. What are the names of the per-
sons carrying them, for whom you want admission ?"

Mr. CARLILE handed up a list of their names,
which Mr. Sheriff PARKYNS gave to one of the
Under-Sheriffs, and in a few minutes afterwards the
Radical Library made its appearance on the table.

At half-past nine the LORD CHIEF JUSTICE took
his seat on the Bench. His Lordship was scarcely
seated, when Mr. HUNT rose :

"My Lord—l was informed that my cause (al-
luding, we were informed, to his prosecution for libel
against the Editor and Publisher of The New Times)
was to take precedence of all Special Jury cases, and
now I see a Special Jury case about to commence,
and five others on the list." •

CIIIEF-JUSTICE—" My uniform desire is, that all
causes should come on as early as possible in the
ordinary routine. It was at your own desire, Sir,
that the cause you allude to was postponed till
Thursday."

Mr. Il UNT•--4( I have been repeatedly in attend•
ancc for these twelvemonths, with my witnesses."

CHIEF JUSTICE (interrupting Mr. 114—Your time,
Sir, for addressing the Court will not be arrived till
Thursday. I will not allow the present proceedings
of the Court to be interrupted.
Mr.HUN r again attempted to speak, but the CHIEF
JUSTICE put him down by a few hasty words, among
which that of Depart !" was chiefly distinguishable.
Mr. llt'NT.—" Depart!"
CHIEF JUSTICE.—" The Court, Sir, must not be
interrupted."
Mr. HUNT.—" I only wish to know, my Lord,
whether my witnesses are at liberty to go?"
CHIEF JUbTICE.—" It was at your own election,
Sir, that your cause was put off till Thursday : you
knew it was not to come on to-day : and if you wish
the cause put off even to a more distant day than
Thursday, the Court will have no objection,"
The colloquy between the CHIEF JUSTICE and Mr,
Iltrwr here ended, with some understanding as to the
postponement of Mr. HUNT'S cause, the particulars
of which we did not collect.

The Secondary was now proceeding to call over
the names of the Special Jury, when Mr. Carlile rose.

Mr.CARLILE—" My Lord, I challenge the corn•
peeency of the Court to try the question on which ]
am now called here as a defender."

CHIEF-JUSTICE—" The Court is competent to try
any indictment preferred by h;s Majesty's Attorney-
General."

Mr. CARLILE—" The indictment is not-founded
on the breach of any law.",

CHIEF Juszice.—" If it is not founded in any law
you will of course be entitled to your acquittal, and
I dare say you will obtain it."

Mr. CA nuip.--,. My Lott], I enter my protest
against the proceedings."

CHIEF JUSTICE—" Oh!"
The names of the twenty-four SRecial Jurymen

were now called oar. Only eight answered to their

names, viz.—

CHARLIE Womb, Abchurch-lane.
ROBERT HUTCHINSON, Clement's-lane.
Jona Hisa:os, Rooked-lane.
Gsoass Ilaavre, Lawrence-Lux.

ASTEUIL CHICRESTILL ALLEN.
R. Clumsy's, Dove-court.
Wutum Nails, John-street.
Joint Wusox, Queen-street.
The SECONDARY was then proceeding to draw
four ,talesmen, when Mr. CARLILE desired him to
shake the box.
CHIEF JUSTICE—" You 'ale not to direct the Of-
ficer of the Court how he shall do his duty."
Mr. CARLILE" I only ask that the talesmen
shall be fairly drawn. The first which the Secon-
dary has in his hand he selected."
The SECONDARY denied the imputation.
Cuter JUSTICE. "Shake the box well, by all means."
The- box was accordingly shaken well, and four
talesmen drawn, whose names were—

ROPLIti PLANT.
Groitor Coors, Baker Farriagdon Without.
Jovw TatoGY, Chairmaker, ditto.
MATIMW HOLLYEI, ditto.
The Jury being sow sworn, Mr. CAMPBELL rose
from behind the ATTORNEY-GENERAL.

Mr. CAMPBELL—" My Lord, and Gentlemen of
the Jury, the defendant is charged with printing and
publishing a certain scandalous, impious, and bias-
phemous libel on the Holy Scriptures."

Mr. CAROLE here rose, and demanded that the In-
dictment should be read at length.
The CHIEF JUSTICE stated, that it was nor the
usual practice of the Court to read the.lndictment,
" at least;' added his Lordship, " where Counsel are
employed." The fashion of persons pleading their
own causes is quite a new practice.
Mr. CA RLILE urged that it was of essential impor-
tance to him that the Jury should have the Indict-
ment, on which they were to judge, read over to them.
The CHIEF JUSTICE observed, that, if it was essen-
tial, Mr. Carlile might take every word of it into his
speech in defence.
Mr. CARLILE reiterated that he considered it Aost
essential that the Indictment should be read. He
, would not say when it should be read. All that
he insisted on was that it should be read at the
proper time.

The ATTORNEY-GENERAL now rose to address the
Court and Jury.—The Learned Gentleman began'
with expressing his conviction that k would not be
necessary for him to encounter any prejudice on the
solemn question on which they were now sitting in
judgment. He felt fully satisfied, that if the Gentle-
men of the Jury were not already apprised of the
character of the publication which was the subject of
I prosecution, that when its contents were shortly
and plainly stated to them, not only they, but all
who professed themselves friends to the real Liberty
of the Press and liberty of discussion, would allow
that the present prosecution was far from having for
its object any thing like a restriction of that liberty,
and that the Officers of the Crown would have been
guilty of one of the grossest derelictions of duty had
they refrained from instituting and persevering in it.
Without repeating every word of the atrocious libel
with which the defendant was charged, he would en-
deavour briefly to give such a general, yet satisfac-
tory view of the offence imputed to him, as might
enable the Gentlemen of the Jury to come to a
fair, unbiassed, and impartial decision upon it.—
It was our boast to live under a Religion the most
benignant ever propagated—a religion which had its
origin from the DEITY himself. We had long lived
and prospered under it ; it was part of the Constitu-'
tion and Law of the Land itself The Defendant
had been pleased to say that sent prosecution
was founded on no law. Foitunate would it be for
him could he prove this to be the case; on that, in-
deed, must all his hopes of an acquittal depend.---
The present prosecution was, unfortunately, however,
no novelty in the legal proceedings of the Country:
on repeated occasions, similar actions hail been insti-
tuted ; and, as the learned Judge would confirm to
the Jury, no action could be better founded in law
than one which complained of a foul and infamous
attack on the Religion of the land. It would be idle,
(continued the learned Gentleman,) it would be idle,
when addressing twelve Gentlemen, who have just
taken their solemn oaths on the very book which has
been defamed, to declaim to them on the-eacellence
or benignity of that Religion which that Sacred
Book has revealed unto' men. - It would be most
idle to descant to thedi oh the_divinity of a
gion, under the sanction of which they were now
sitting in judgment, and had sworn to determine
well and truly on the matters submitted to them
Unless the defendant could wipe away the authority
of ages—unless he could swipe away the best part of
the law of the land—unless he could persuade the
Jury to perjure themselves, he could-never succeed
in obtaining from them a verdict of acquittal.—
Christianity was part of the law of the land, and
there was no person, whatever his political or reli.
gious sentiments might be, but must admit that the
defendant had violated the law, by the publication
in question.

The I,earned Gentleman then proceeded to esta-
blish the law of the case by a variety of precedents—
by that of Tayler, in the time' of Charles 11.--ot
Whiston, in the reign of George IL—of Williams
(for publishing The Age of Reason in 1797)—and

lastly of Eaton, in 1812. Thus Lai twee;
Courts. and Juries found Defendants gul ofi:. 47
very crime with which the preseet Def!Lant
now charged.

The Learned Gentleman then prreeeded to Ne
a variety of quotations from the Work itcl.f,
the Jury of its pernicious and libellous terdency,
companying each with a most impassioned aprta;,
the feelings of the Jury. In concluding, F expv
the circumstances which had prerf—..?st the
being sooner brought to trial, and she that it
not arise from any hesitation on the part of the
cers of the Crown, but principally ftom
courses of the Defendant himself.

The indictment was then read. At the yr.dr.,;
of the first count, the.CIIIEF JUSTICE a..kt!J Mr.C.
Lux whether he wished that the pt:r.tel
which it referred should also be read ?

Mr. CARLILE said, " Certainly not, 1 ate;
without hesitation."

The CHIEF JUSTICE made the Same iaptiry
at
end of the second and third counts, and Mr. CAN.i
observed, that he readily admitted all Cue "
ment stated.

The CHIEF JUSTICE—" Very well ; I did
know that you would be willing to make such
ral admissions."

THE. DEFENCE
Mr. CA *TALE then rose and spoke to the
effect :—" Gentlemen of the Jury, I rise in my
defence, and stand hese before you under a deep
pression from the importance of the subject on v
you are called upon to deliver your verdi:t:

ject of no less importance than the question w;
man is to be pes mitted to entertain doctrines

his experience and reflection have established, ar.:.
deliver them to others, or to yield them up in cc
formity with the practice of tho‘e who never •
coned cr even thought upon the subject? I: is a

tion of the first magnitude, for it affects the
Religious Establishments of this country. I haw

the necessity of examining, with the greatest mini
ness, the grounds on which those who might

would defend their positions ; and I think 1
prove, that the Author of The Age of Reason, and
the publisher of it, had both of us no object h
benevolent one, in laying before the Public a
tradiction to the general impression ; and I
convinced of my power of proving-that blasphl
.cannot be charged to either of u% The

of the whole country are, Gentlemen, turned

you, and, I trust, you will give a verdict f(

solely upon the evidence. I make this
with peculiar earnestness, for you have to
upon a question upon which, though there

little difference of opinion in fact, there exists

deal in pretence; for I have received nuinberle:ccr_.
munications from all parts of the country, mostor

convey congratulation and condolence, and a for
that the writers believed in Christianity, but dep.
cated all inquiry— an evidence that their belief w
from being impregnable. !trust you will returnint
case a verdict of Not Guilty. Indeed, men uho-.
decide otherwise, could resemble no body of in&
duals, but those who kindled the flames in Smithtli
You will now permit me to make a few remarkstl
parts of the Attorney-General's speech. In speliil;
of the Liberty of the Press, he says he is the
cate for it to the utmost extent that liberty
allow ; and then he soddenly calls upon you to stc?
short. His address is like that of every other •Itt
ney-General. There is no novelty in the argur

he has used, and of course there can he no ditEa.
in refuting them. Ile says that Religion enn...
from GOD, and acknowledges the power of GOD
notwithstanding that acknowledgment, he thinl—:
necessary to enlist his own talents upon the ..1e
his MAKER, and protect him with the very weal,:
with which GOD has furnished him. Now, my LF •
nion is very different—widely different; for I tl.a.
Me DEITY is all-mighty, and that he needs not t!.,
arms of others to defend him. Mr. Carliic tl.,:a
stated, that our Christian Religion declared tlta:
there was but one GOD, of infinite power, wisdom
and goodness; and that in the unity of this Godhad
there were Three Persons. It could not be denied,
he said, that this was founded upon the TRINITi.
for, without that admission, Christianity could not b.
admitted. Now, an Act had passed lately for
relief of persons who had impugned the Doctrine of
the HOLY TRINITY ; and it had been passed upoa
the best principle. How, he begged to know, could
the first article of the Christian Religion be reconciled
for a moment to the mind of any reasonable creature,
when it said in one place that there is but one Coo.
and in another that there were Three Persons, all
equal power, and of course all Gods. This was pall
of what the Attorney-General called the law of t.ie
land. Mr. Carlile then read the Act of Parliament
favour of the Unitarians, and said that Act was, in tact•
nothing less than a repeal of all former Acts era
the subject of holding doctrines at variance wi:a
those of the Trinity, and of all Acts in support
of
the Established Religion of the country, for If o;le
Act of Parliament affected .Another in any shaP'•t.
went to repeal that Act. The Attorney.Geaeral ha
said that Christianity was part of the law of the land.
He (the defendant) must declare, that deism was 21,0
part of the law of the land, and that those publir . i,
deistical doctrines were protected by the Statute La. •
and secured from all the punishment that might
been inflicted preeiously to the passing of the Act..'
which he alluded. The Jury must be aware, tba.

f r: of r Justice could not legally take cogmirance
7:
c.bphooly. Blasphemy was a wilful misrepre-
-
clarion of the attributes of the Deity, and here was
ict of Parliament which tolerated a dissent from
4:•• -
es Christian Deity. The Attorney-General had said
0 information was founded upon the Common Law.
Tie starate Law was well known to take precedence,
-1t was upon that Statute Law he grounded his
1 1..- '
j,:itge to publish. There was certainly a part in
.e
jpublication upon which the Attorney-General
.
iiigEt have founded an indictment, but the reason
,!votoge was not taken of that circumstance was,
ot 6c punishment could not equal that which it
vai the turned Gentleman's disposition to inflict.
T.s fact to which he alluded was that in which the
,i,jaity of the old and new Scriptures was denied.—
tvith reioect to the cant about Common Law, he (Mr.
tsriile) declared that he knew not what it meant. .It
u said by the Attorney-General to be seated in the
.trast of the Judge ; but the mere did= of a Judge
tis Sotto be taken as conclusive of what was just and
FY ..411 laws should be understood. There should
ier
he a written Code, by which the People might be in-
booed of what it was necessary to adopt and reject.
There was no written law to authorize the present
prosecution. The Attorney-General had not told the
hry what the defendant was to be tried for. He left
that part of the business to his Lordship. He left it to
the Judge to make out a case which he was cot able to
make out himself—but he called upon the Jury to
End a verdict of Guilty, and declared to them that
they were bound by their oaths to do 50..1f that wasp
Ike case, where could be the use in giving the name
ri Jury to those who were to decide. It was absurd
ton! he had published with a malicious intention.
fils object was to serve and not to injure mankind,
ar,d there was not, he could prove, a word of im-
moral tendency in the whole publication. Mr. Car-
rie then spoke of Judge Hale, and ridiculed- the
vhority of a man who had such belief in witch-
tuft as to sentence two poor women to be burned for
toing practised that formidable but imaginary art.
-The Attorney-General, whose speech was full of
nritions, had dwelt much on the dangerous ten-
de...cy cf the publication; but he would ask to whom
was 't dangerous? not to the learned, whom he
ould not affect ; not to the lower orders, among
vin it was not circulated, as few could afford to
ear for it ; ar.d, although three thousand copies of
the work had been sold since Jannary last, where
t•as the proof of its having corrupted the mind of
any one ? The speech of the Attorney-General was
:othing but declamation and sophistry : bete& the
:ary they are not to enquire whether the work was
polished with a malicious intention or not ? The
Learned Gentleman calls Paine's a gross attack.—
He 13bIr. Carlile) did not know what religion the At-
tarney•General might now profess ; but he believed
'..e once professed Unitarianism, which was the reli-
gion of his father and his family, and that he had
held up his hand in that cause. The Attorney-Gen
ceral had stated that Paine, in his calmer moments,
had confessed the truth of Christianity ; but he (Mr.
Carlile) doubted its truth; and he was confident
Pinehad always doubted it. This was a:prosecution
far difference of opinion ; and if Christianity could
=protect itself, he thought it presumption In the
Attorney-General to lend it his suppott. This, he
thought, was a strong probf that he held the same
9inions as before he became a Law Officer of the
Crov:n, The Christian GOD is stated to be a con-
cord of Three Persons ; the Articles 4 the Church
vere full of these assertions : he had an idea of the
idea, but a very different one from these Articles.—
H.: dcnicd the assertion of the Attorney-General that
he had deferred the trial ; since it might have come
^n in April last, if the Law Officers of the Crown
tad wished it. The Attorney-General had stated,
and the information set forth, that he had incurred
thf displeasure of At.mionve GOD ; but he would ask
1010 was to judge between him and his CREATOR ?
The speech of the Attorney-General had, in fact, no
'...Cr; tendency than to excite prejudices against him,
to prevent him making his defence. He con-
t!:...ied, that there was not an immoral passage in the
F...licatica fur which he was now on his trial. He
ce,:::-.ed candour and publicity only.
hie:e :dr. CARLILE produced 'twelve copies of
l''S'!•:,; Age of Reason, and was going to hand them
I-, t,.., Jury, when he was interrupted by
-
7 i.e LORD CHIEF JUSTICE, who stated, that he
L.:. Lot wish to prevent the Jury from having every
;:,€?.,.-. GI judging of the question; but as the books
. (I,:estion were not produced in evidence, the pro.
`"‘:•r,g was irregular, and he did dot wish to do any
'' . 7•, ,-,,, sthich might be afterwards quoted as a proce-
'lt. Besides, what proof was there of their being '
• ;,Des of the work, for the publication of which this
1. s,etution had been commenced.
-'Jr. CARLILE pledged himself they were the same.
The LORD CHIEF JUSTICE said, if the Jury wished
Lave copies, he did not object to it.
4r. CARLILE presumed his Lordship had given his
."LTA, and copies were immediately handed to the
''''-• lie then proceeded to read the title of the
',.":-k and and the preface, in which he had stated his
~
't'''es for publishing the work, as truth was his only
I-'ct• His firm conviction was, that the publica-
!... of it was essential to the interests and welfare
- tile country ; and that his fellow citizens were
prepared to discuss the subject; indeed, It
`‘'• o,lly by reading Ltd perusing such works as

these that the Age of Reason 'could commence.---
He now entered on the work itself: he read Paine's
avowed reasons for publishing it—his refutation of the
charge of Atheism, made against him, for he believed
in one Gon only, but not in the creeds of any Church.
The sentiments of Paine were his, he was bold and
confident, but did not condemn those of a contrary
opinion. He now proceeded to read Paine's Age of
Reason, without the slightest comment, and had en-
tered on that writer's examination of the Holy Scrip-
tures when we left the Court. It is the general opinion'
that he will read the whole work to the Jury, whom,
with the Judge, we left listening with great attention.
—The Hall is excessively crowded, and great num-
4)ers are accumulating in King-street. The Arch-
bishop of CANTERBURY is in attendance.

We understand that Mr. BELLAMY, the author ofl
the New. Translation of the Bible from the original
Hebrew, is subpccned as a witness on the trial of
Mr. CARLILE.

• Raby Castle, the residence of an ancient and truly
British family, was lately honoured by the presence
of the Prince LEOPOLD, and his suite. On the ap-
proach of the illustrious visitant, his Royal Highness
was drawn by the populace, through the park into
the hall of the castle, and was saluted by the dis-
charge of 21 cannon. The Earl and Countess of
DARLINGTON received their Royal guest with every
other mark of honourable distinction, and with every
possible token of English hospitality and dignified
respect.

Advices•• from Batavia of the beginning of May,
state, that the English Expedition from Bengal, under
Sir T. RAFFLES, consisting of several of the East In-
dia Company's cruizers, with troops on board, had
arrived on the coast of Sumatra, to take possession of
all the ports on the west side of the Island, which were
ceded to the British by the King of ACHEEN.
The Cadiz letters, received by the Mail of yester
day, describe the situation of that place and neigh-
bourhood as very melancholy, in consequence of the
contagion, which was making serious ravages. As
the troops intended to go out in the expedition were
dispersed, it was supposed the armament, if not to-
tally destroyed, was at least suspended for a chnsidera-
ble time• The impression with regard to the distem-
per still is, that it was brought to the Bay of Cadiz
by the ASIA, 74, that arrived some time ago from
the Havannah with money; and, for the sake of,
landing which the usual restrictions were dispensed
with, although the Captain on his arrival made due
notification that he had the fever on board, and that
he had lost 120 persons on the voyage horns.

A hat-maker in Leeds, in order to suit the temper
of the times, has a label stuck in his window—" Ra-
dical Hats sold here." A laundress in the same street,
wishing to increase her custom, has stuck up a bill—
" Radical's Shirts washed here."

The Radical exhortations to sobriety have found
their way to Ireland, where such advice may at least
be as usefully given as in this country. From the
Dublin Papers it appears, that the following inscrip-
tions are seen on the walls of that city, chalked in
legible characters :—" Be sober."—" Be sober and
free."—" Sobriety and Reform."—" Whiskey and
Slavery:"
" The Man that whihes to be free,
" Must not use 'Whiskey, Wine, or Tea."
Tuesday the tops of the western hills in Cumber-
land were covered with snow, being the first indica-
tion of the approach of winter.
There is a holly-hock in a garden in Elgin, of this
year's growth, now in full blow, of the extraordinary
height of eleven feet.
There is at present growing in the garden of kens
Manse, Galloway, a holly-hock 15 feet in height, con-
sisting of four stalks all of the same elevation, and
luxuriantly covered with different coloured blossoms.

BETTING ROOM, OCTOBER 11.
TMs being settling day for the disputed Leger there was much
bustle and plenty of money exchanged. It had been stated, that
although the Jockey Club bad decided that Antonio won the
race, they had not decided that bets were to be paid, they were
however, paid yesterday, as if no dispute had taken place ; but as
usual on great races there were two or three defaulters. There
was but little betting, it was as follows :

HUNTING.
The Fife Hunt met at Cupar on Monday, the 27th ult. The
Fox Hounds hunted on Monday, Wednesday, and Saturday,
and had good sport. The meeting was more numerous than it
has been for some years past. The Balls on Thursday and Fri-
day were attended by a great display of beauty and fashion.
Thursday, the Stag was turned off, as usual, at Countess Pillar,
in Brougham Parish and, after a chase of several miles, was
taken at Poke Mill, in the River Lowther, near Eahtont-bridge,
not far from the place of its starting.
BOXING.

the friends of Carter, when the Irish Champion declared off,
giving as a remor. that 100 guineas, which had been promised
to him, win or leer, had not been handed over.
