FRIDAY MORNING, DECEMBER 6, 1833.

About ten days ago Sir JOHN MILLEY DOYLE, &C. &C.,
&c., &c., and some seven or eight brother-officers and
fellow-adventurers in the cause of Donna MARIA of Por-
tugal, arrived at HORNE'S Hotel, in this town, having
come passengers in the William IV. steamer direct from
Lisbon. These important personages were at some pains
to conceal as much as possible the fact of their arrival, or
retreat, or whatever it may be, from the knowledge of
the public; but in case that fact,—so deeply important to
the interests of the world,—should transpire, (as secrets
sometimes do from cabinets and the King's private cham-
ber,) they desired it to be stated, that they had revisited
these realms. for the purpose of buying horses for the
service of Don PEDRO.

"Horses !" thought we, " they must be asses who be-
lieve it;"—but we said nothing. Two or three days af-
terwards our London private correspondent, quite uncon.
scions of who had arrived at Liverpool, but whose ex-
cellent letter,—which the evidence before the commis.
sioners of the star chamber compelled us to throw over-
board,—furnished us with an explanation of the reasons
which had induced Doyle and his fellows to honour this
country with their presence. It appears that the heroes
located at Lisbon, having earned as many laurels as they
could conveniently carry, were anxious to receive a
small compensation in the shape of pay. They, in an
humble memorial, supplicated PEDRO for a few milreas,
merely to keep their pockets in friction, and meet the
charge for those bottles of wine which confinement in
town-quarters did not enable them conveniently to steal.
PEDRO took great offence at the bare mention of money,
and replied to the insolent request by ordering them on
ship-board at an hour's notice, and a speedy departure to
the place from whence they came ! This accounts for the
living freight on board the William IV. steamer. Our
private correspondent of Falmouth will supply the rest:—

" His Majesty's schooner, Pike, Lieut. Brooking, arrived this
morning from Lisbon, whence she sailed on the 24th ult., being
three days later than the African. No event of any consequence
had occurred in the meanwhile; but the accounts now brought
fully confirm those previo.usly received of tha unpopularity of
Don Pedro and his ministers, and of the general feeling through-
out the country in favour of Don Miguel. The Pike brings
only one passenger. She was prevented from touching at Oporto
by the barsteruus elute of the 11 eather.

" Falmouth, Dec. 3, 1833."

We have received accounts from Barbadoes to the Ist,
and Antigua to the Cth November, with files of papers.
The House of Assembly of Barbadoes, on receiving the
Governor's message on the Abolition Bill, came promptly
to a conclusion to suspend all proceedings upon it until
they should learn the determination of Jamaica. The
Antigua Weekly Register of the sth November contains
a report of the Joint Committee of the Council and
House of Assembly to the Governor on receiving his
communication, with the act of Parliament for the Aboli-
tion of Slavery, and the circular despatch of the Colo-
nial Secretary. This report is an exceedingly able and
well-written document, which we regret that want of
space compels us to omit, at this important crisis of colo-
nial affairs. The committee urge, in a temperate but
firm manner, their various objections to the measure.
Speaking of the apprenticeship clauses, they thus express
themselves :
"We deem it advisable merely to state our settled conviction
that the apprenticeship stage must disappoint the hopes and
reasonable expectations of philanthropists, and can be produc-
tive only of a constant sense of humiliation and disquietude to
all parties concerned—tending to substitute for the kindly feel-
ings, mutual dependence, and the interchange of good offices,
which, whatever may he alleged to the contrary, do now, in a
great majority of instances, so happily prevail,—a state of con-
stant irritation, discontent, and strife ; leaving the negroes, in
all human probability, in a condition more unfit for the enjoy-
ment of a rational freedom than at the commencement of it ;
—subjecting, moreover, the master to the obligation of main-
taining labourers over whose conduct he can have no per-
sonal influence or control ; superseding the usual motives
which stimulate to industrious labour in the case of freemen ;
and yet doing away with that necessary sense of an instantly
impending coercion, in duties designed to be of an involuntary
and compulsory nature."

On that most extraordinary part of this ruinous mea-
sure, the distinction of periods of servitude, we find the
following just remarks :

"The di,tinction, moreover, regarding the time of servitude
of the prmdial and non-prmdial classes, is, we think, unfortu-
nate ; and calculated to excite a jealousy, not unnatural on the
part of those who constitute, in truth, the most useful and meri-
torious class; and to confirm those existing prejudices against
mere rustic occupations, as being more degrading, which it is
of such infinite importance to counteract."

The London papers of yesterday favour us with the
description of an extraordinary scene, in which an at-
torney and the Lord Chancellor BROUGHAM appear in dis-
tinguished parts. The facts are, that Lord BROUGHAm
had committed this attorney to the Fleet prison, illegally
and wrongfully—that he usurped a power which he did
not possess—that the attorney suffered much injury in
consequence, and brought his action to recover compen-
sation for the damage• he had received.
Lord BROUGHAM was defended by the SOLICITOR GE-
NERAL, who, wonderful as it will appear, did not attempt
to justify the noble and learned Lord's conduct, but took
shelter under his official privilege, thereby conceding
the monstrous point-that the Lord CHANCELLOR can in-
flict an injury upon a subject of the KING without the
law affording him any remedy or redress.
The matter is curious inasmuch as it clearly estab-
lishes the gross ignorance.of Lord BRoUGUAM. What !
ignorance ? Yes—ignorance in him who is the great
law reformer—who is the leading assailant of the exist-
ing system—who is the loudest declaimer against its
errors, absurdities, and abuses, and who nevertheless is
found wanting on one of the most essential points of
legal knowledge which relates to the liberty of the sub-
ject.
The venerable Earl of ELDON was a witness subpoe-
naed fur the plaintiff, and it is gratifying to remark that
the whole bar rose when he entered and retired, as well
as when he was giving his evidence. He was also com-
plimented by the SOLICITOR GENERAL, in the name of
the bar, upon his reappearance among them. Infirm as
the venerable and learned Lord was, he was examined
as to his practice in committing persons fur contempt of
court during the time he was Lord Chancellor. He an-
swered as follows.—

"I took all possible caution not to dedrive a subject of his
liberty without due cause; but it is impossible for me to say,
(being advanced in years, and my memory being on the de-
cline,) whether there was any mistake in my conduct during
the twenty-live years I had been in the Court of Chancery.
But if I did commit for contempt for not paying money without a
demand and refusal, it must be a mistake. If I hare committed
such a mistake I ask pardon of my country for it. But my
Secretary of Bankrupts can answer these questions better than
I can. I take this opportunity of saying that Ido not appear
here as a willing witness, but, being subpcenaed, I thought it
my duty to attend to give evidence between matt and man."

What a reproof to Lord BROUGHAM ! "If I have
committed such a mistake, I ask pardon of my country
for it !" No, Lord ELDON never committed any such
mistake ; but Lord BROUGHAM, the reformer, has ; but
will he "ask pardon of his country for it?" The SOLICI-
TOR-GENERAL pleaded Lord BROUGHAM'S official privi-
lege, and he was acquitted ; but will the wrong end here
Is there a place where a man can be deeply injured, in fact,
ruined, compelled to take the benefit of the insolvent
act, and yet be debarred from obtaining redress ? Yes,
there is such a place, but it is only in the court over
which Chancellot BROUGHAM presides.

The crusade against the press by the professed cham-
pions of the "liberty of the press" goes on merrily ! The
Dublin Pilot has suffered by proxy for Mr. O'CONNELL.
The proprietor of the Brighton Guardian has been sent
to gaol for bringing some very sensitive persons into
contempt—for such is the vile slang of the law. Shoe-
black HUNT has obtained a farthing damages from the
proprietors of the True Sun. The proprietrix of the
Carlisle Journal is in limbo upon speculation. One
CAVENDISH, the owner of an Irish paper, has been
mulcted a second time by Lord SLIGO. Some nineteen
or twenty poor wretches are now dancing at the tread- ,
mill for selling penny papers, and yet Lord BROUGHAM
and CHARLEY KNIGHT are both at large, making money
most furiously. The illustrious, liberal, and benevolent
Lord DURHAM►r, the author of the Reform Bill, has crimi-
nal prosecutions pending against the Standard, John
Bull, Durham Advertiser, and Newcastle Journal. The
Times itself is before the courts for reporting accurately
some trial in these courts, which are, by a fiction, in
which we English people delight, supposed to be open to
all the world. One of the attorneys, some of his rela-
tions, and several of the agents and coal-heavers of Lord
DURHAM, have perpetrated two actions of battery against
Mr. HERNAMAN, of Newcastle. In the present dearth of
business, caused by the decline and fall of London, in
consequence of the Reform Bill, some worthy attorneys
of that city are reaping a yellow harvest among the news-
venders. IVe have not heard that Mr. ADY has yet com-
menced proceedings against Sir PETER LAURIE, or that
Mr. CosTER, or Mr. IKEY SoLomoss has presented an
indictment againt the Recorder of London; but it would
not surprise us to hear that such is the fact. The "liberty
of the press I" LOUIS PHILIPPE! Lord DURHAM !--ha !
ha! ha!

Of Lord DURHAM'S crusade against his own favourite
toast we have already treated; and as we have a particu-
lar respect for the noble earl, we shall seal up what we
have further to say until another opportunity. Lord
SLIGO we pass by. The dupes of the Penny Magazine
we leave where they are till another day. Mr. HERNA-
MAN must go to the sessions ; but as for the others, they
deserve a more extended notice.

HUNT in court, complaining of the press, is like sour
small beer in the dog days—a sign of the times ! If a
chimney-sweep were called a " filthy animal," we have
no doubt that he would recover a farthing, if not more,
in that court over which Sir THOMAS DENMAN presides,
who called GEORGE IV. a NERO, and told Queen CARO-
LINE to "go and sin no more." HUNT'S action against
the True Sun is the fourth he has instituted upon the
same squib. It began with our contemporary of the
Liverpool Journal. Some wicked wag of Preston, during
the late election, in that town, sent a paragraph to the
Journal, in which, with true Lancashire gravity, it was
stated that HUNT had incited his friends to commit a
murder, and that, in the conflict, he (HUNT) had lost his
nose. A cow, if it could read, would have at once seen
that the libellous matter was a hoax—a mere squib—a
paper cracker, let off in honour of the defeat of that
illustrious Statesman

But HUNT, whose education, we fear, has been sadly
neglected, and who has, certainly, never_ read the dia-
logues of old LUCIAN, could not, or at least did not,
appreciate the joke in the way it was intended. He
commenced actions against four newspapers; the Liver-
pool Journal, the British Traveller, the True Sun, and
the Globe. Here were practice, pastime, and profits for
an attorney, and, at the same time, a reasonable (per
calculation) modicum of compensation for the alleged
wounded feelings, and the demolished nose of the ex-
member for Preston. A man without a nose is like a
ship without a bowsprit, or a Staffordshire utensil with_
out a handle. His prominent characteristics are gone—
he is deemed an outcast—he is beyond the honourable
pale of personal insult, and, in short, he is in that lamenta-
ble condition so pathetically bewailed by the poet:—

" Noseless and nousless, without wit or smell,
To thee shall odours rise all inexpressible 1"

" Privations, or deprivations," as the Solomon of the
Yaghars, whose proverbs are translated by Dr. BOWRING,
says, " are by comparison." A man may or may not be
happy in the deprivation of that Parliamentary repre-
sentative of his face, according to circumstances. Had
General JACKSON, our esteemed friend, the President of
the United States, been minus that promontory of hu-
manity, he would. have escaped the fangs of Lieutenant
RANDOLPH on a late occasion. This, however, we con-
fess is an isolated case. The learned are excessively de-
mure on the subject. Lord KAMES and DANIEL O'CON-
NELL confine themselves to tads ; Drs. GALL and
COMBE adhere to superior excrescences ; Dr. ROBERT
OWEN has no idea upon noses except rearing them
by steam ; Dr. COLLINS is not a Nosologist ; and Lord
BROUGHAM contends that he knows nothing which the
nose does not indicate by its extraordinary sympathies.
How HUNT has thrived by his prosecutions it is not
for us to say. He may have made money, or he may
not; that somebody has, at the expense of the newspa-
pers, is clear enough ; but the whole of his conduct is
beautifully illustrative of the fact, that the loudest de-
claimer in the walks of patriotism—the noisiest talker
about liberty—the favourite champion of the mob—the
darling of the rabble, as HUNT has been—are the worst
enemies of that liberty they profess to prize, and the
greatest encouragers of those restraints upon free speech
which they profess to hate and condemn.
But we-toss this poor faggot of the rabble into his pro-
per place—the coal-hole of public opinion upon which its
very menials trample with contempt. He and Lord
DURHAM are worthy of each other.
But we collie to the case of Widow JOLLIE, of Carlisle,
now in prison for a libel upon Lord LONSDALE. The
Whig papers have laboured hard to fight off this case
against the quadruple prosecutions of Lord DURHAM,
and the bludgeon feats of the noble Earl's agents. The
press of other matter has prevented us from noticing the
affair sooner—but better late than never. A woman of
the name of JOLLIE is the real or assumed proprietrix
of a wretched and almost unknown newspaper called the
Carlisle Journal. She, the ostensible proprietor, was
convicted of an infamous libel upon the Earl of LONS-
DALE. The writer of her paper, an obscure hack, long
in the pay of the Whigs, has been suffered to remain
concealed. She has kept this fellow at so many shillings
per week, to do all the vile work of the party who
er, and that vile work has for many
patronise her pap
years been comprised in a series of abominable libels
upon Lord LONSDALE. He was accused of appropriat-
ing the funds of certain charitable establishments to his
own use. He was accused of robbing the poor—of plun-
dering the alias-box of the needy and infirm—of pro-
fessing to be the guardian of donations bequeathed to the
indigent or for the purposes of education, which he con-
veyed into his own pocket.
These charges would have been a serious libel upon
, or the fair ELIZABETH BROWN-
HUNT, Sir JOHN KEY
RIGG. JACK SHEPHERD, the founder of his family, who
was hanged, would have deemed such accusations a
scandalous imputation upon his character. Lord Loss-

ndividual does not exist—bore those slanders so long,
that their very repetition, day after day, and week after
ivoek, gave to them, in certain vulgar circles in Cumber-
land, the appearance of truth. Unopposed and uncon-
tradicted, the libellers themselves began to assume that
the noble earl's forbearance was tantamount to a confession
of guilt. They had repeated the slander so often that,
like Lord BROUGHAM about Queen CAROLINE'S info'
cence, they believed that what was originally falsehood
and fiction, became truth by sufferance.
Mist epresented and defied, Lord LONSDALE was at last
compelled, though most reluctantly, to institute legal
proceedings in order to expose and punish that which he
had too long tolerated. Conscious of innocence, he
nevertheless saw the progress which falsehood was
making, and had made, upon the boundaries of popular
credulity. Three liberal journals, under the patronage
of the Whigs, had indulged in these slanders for a long
period of time. The noble earl, acting under professional
advice, attacked them all. He did not go into court a 9
Lord DURHAM went. He challenged the parties to the
proof of their allegations. He gave them the opportunity
of putting truth in the foreground in vindication of their
conduct. He went into court as a private man who knew
nothing of his "order," and he called upon the defend-
ants to substantiate their charges if they could.
Two of the parties did penance, acknowledged their
offences, and were instantly pardoned. The prosecution
was stayed as soon as an apology was made, and Ira
punishment was inflicted. Not so the widow of the Car-
lisle Journal. She braved the law, and at length she
and her partner, the supposed editor and writer of the
slanderous articles, were brought to trial. He escaped
by a flaw in the indictment, but the lady was found guilty.
Even here the matter would have ended had the defend-
ant evinced. anything like contrition, or had refrained
from perseVering in that course of malicious insinuation
which had preceded the conviction of the proprietri%.
The writer of th©
paper, undaunted, and almost telling
the world that the verdict of the jury was unjust, con-
tinued to heap abuse on Lord LONSDALE. The conse-
quence was, that his female and only responsible partner
was sent to gaol.
That the noble earl advised this act of extremity we,
know is contrary to the truth. Lord LONSDALE is now
old and infirm ; he knew nothing of the imprisonment
until it had taken place, and for which his legal adviser
is entirely responsible. But here arises the question-7
Is Mrs. JOLLIE not the real author of her own misfortune?
Is she not in gaol upon speculation ? Is it not a calcula-
tion of pure profit and loss, as to whether she is likely to
make more by being in prison than by being in her shoe,
She defies Lord LONSDALE, and appeals to the
Her editor perseveres in calumny, and she goes to a
state-room in the tower of "merry Carlisle." She orders
her journeyman to fire away upon the lord, and she hangs
out a begging box from the window. This, we sus
pect, is the stratagem ; it is ingenious ; it is peculiarbr,
after the fashion of the Whigs; but it will not do.

What possible analogy is there between this prnsecg;
tion and that instituted by Lord DURHAM ? The Earl e'
LONSDALE is placed in an involuntary position. lie hag

If she were allowed to escape, Lord LONSDALE W°lllCl
thereby give countenance to the libels written and vivi"
Ling against him, and the defendant would have the
triumph of being innocently accused and wrongfully
imprisoned. Let her do simple justice to the reputation.
she has unjustly assailed, and we promise her that her
prison doors will be unbarred on the next day. If she
calculates upon making money by remaining in ga°l'
that is another thing, and we have no counsel to give
her, for such a proceeding would be as dishonourable t*
hei as it would be disgraceful to the provincial press.
Our space prevents us from noticing the Brighton
Guardian ; but this much we will say, that the mode
procedure by which the Sussex magistrates obtained a con-
y iction is very discreditable to that body. A libel, "having`
a tendency to bring them into contempt," is one of. those,
abominable remnants of the Star Chamber practice which-
cannot be too soon erased from the records of a free
country. The prosecution of the Dublin Pilot, however,

is too rich to be passed over .
This, we venture to say, is one of the most extraordi-
nary prosecutions that ever took place in England--We
beg pardon, in Ireland; even in that island where mira-
cles are still in operation, and where the facts of every
day occurrence are a million times more strange than.
fiction.

Mr. O'CONNELL, in the month of April last, wrote a
letter addressed to the people of Ireland, which first ar
peared in the True Sun of London, and from thence
was transferred to the columns of the Dublin Pilot'
In this letter the repeal of the Union was strongly.urge
and the Protestants called upon to join the Roman Ca-
tholics in their attempt to force that measure upon the
Imperial Parliament. This letter, appearing upon the
heels of the curfew bill, gave great offence to the
vernment. It was signed " DANIEL O'CONNELL" inthe
usual way—all the world would have known it to be
O'CONNELL'S even though his name had been suppressed
—and yet the government of Ireland condescended to
the meanness of prosecuting the proprietor of the Pil°6•
for the openly avowed production of the Great Agitator'
They passed over the hawk and made battle upon the
wren. They had the writer before them—he was the
counsel who defended, and admirably defended too, Its
own letter—if wrong had been done he was the wrOng
doer—if the government had been libelled he was the
libeller—and yet with these facts staring them inthe:
face they attack the menial and spare the master. All
thing more dastardly we never witnessed in the course
of our lives.
But this is not the worst part of the transaction'
