MR. CARLILE.

Last night some friends of Mr. CARLILE had em-
ployed Mr. DENMAN to move an Arrest of Judg-
ment, and this morning Mr. CARLILE gave the me-
aviary authurity. The case was expected to have
come on early this morning, but owing to the ab-
sence of Mr. Justice BATLEY, it was twelve o'clock
berme Mr.C.tamiwas called upon.
The Cain. Jusrzca read his notes on the firs'
trial, when
Mr. DtsmAN moved an Arrest ofJudg meat, prim
cipally on the ground, that, in the case of the defen-
dant, the Common Law had been improperly resorted
to, since the offence Was provided against by the Sta-
tute 9 and 10 of William 111. which fixed certain
pains and penalties for the offence. He concluded a
very able speech, by contending that the Court could
not travel out of this, Statute without virtually re-
pealing it.

The Cita? Jussinz and the other Judges seve-
rally delivered their opinions, that the Statute of
Villiam was only accumulative, and that it did not
repeal the Common Law; there was, therefore, no
ground for an Arrest of Judgment.
Mr. CARLILE, on being called on to offer any
thing in mitigation of punishment, read from writ-
ten papers (one of which, he said, bad been sent to
him by the rc.st) 'which went to deny that he had
committed any offence, or that the Court possessed
any authority in matters of opinion. He was fre-
quently interrupted by the Court, when reading
matter highly objectionable, and such as Justice BEST
observed, was calculated to draw down the indig-
ration of the Court.

The ATTORNEY-GENERAL and Mr. GURNEY spoke
briePy in aggravation.
Mr. Justice BAYLEY, eridently much affected, pro-
ceeded to pass the sentence, which was as follows :
For the first offence, that of publishing the Agc
of Reason) was a fine of One Thousand Pounds, and
Imprisonment in Doiche4er jail for Two Years :—for
the second offence (publishing Palmer's Principles of
Nature), a fine of Five Hundred Pounds, and Impri-
sonment in the same Jail fcr One Year more; to find
securities for his good behaviour, himself in One Thou-
sand Pounds, and two sureties in Fire Hundred Pounds
each.

Friday, a Parochial Meeting of the Parish of St.
George the Martyr, Southwark, wai held, to take the
opinion of the Parishioners on the late calamitous
proceedings at Manchester, when an Address to'the
PRINCR REGENT to institute an inquiry was unani-
mously agreed to.
On Saturday se'nnight the Magistrates and Conn-
cil of Cupar, Fifeshire, unanimously voted a dutiful
and loyal Address to the PRINCE Riscas'r on the state
of the Country ; and on Thursday last, a similar Ad-
dress was voted by the Magistrates and Inhabitants
of Leith.

The York Whig Club met on Thursday last, and
adopted an Adds ess to Earl FITZWILLIAM, highly
approving his conduct.
A remarkably well known character in Kilsyth, of
the Radical persuasion, being summoned before the
supreme junto of these worthies, and charged- with
the recent crime of drinking whisky, archly replied,
that he did remain in the habit of taking a little to
cheer his spirits in these dull times, but always took'
care that it was smuggled

The Court-Martial on Mr. SToLOE, late Medical
Attendant on BONAPARTE, and Surgeon of the flag-
ship, for disobedience of orders, had, according to the
last accounts, concluded ; but as the sentence of the
Court has not reached us in an authenticated form,
we defer mentioning it fur the present.
A Letter from Lord COCHRANE to a friend in
London, dated Valparaiso, July 20, says:—" I have
just handed over to the Chili Government, in part of
their share of my late capture, upwards of 100,000
dollars ; and next trip, now I understand how to
carry on the war here, I •shall get, I hope, at least
some millions, besides having the still higher satis-
faction of chastising the enemies of Liberty in this'
quarter of the globe !"
The Seringapatarri whaler has arrived off the
Wight from the South Seas, and has brought accounts
from Chili, dated the latter end of July. From these,
it appears, that the amount of specie on board the
Ifleet of merchantmen, captured by Le.rd COCHRANE,
has been over-stated at J. 000,000 of dollars : we
cow lea.n that it does not exceed half that sum ; but
this, however, had been particularly serviceable to
his Lordship, who was erabled to pay the seamen
on board his squadron their wages. which had I
in-
creased to a coesiderable amount. 'then the Serin-
gapatam left the coast of Chili, Lord COCHRANE,
with all the sWps under his command, was off Val-
paraiso. •
