THE KING V. JANE CARLILE.

Thiel t an indictment at the prosecution of the
Socieii of L Suppression of Vice; and it charged
Mrs. Car'' publishing ausl uttering two blasphe-,
1110t1$ and it•Forks—tbe one bring "The Life of
Thomas 'awl," and the other the 9th number of "The
Itepuhlinatt."
Mr. tiunsev, in opening.the case, lamented the ne-
cessity of proseentinK a woman: bat it that woman,
unmoved by the lenity which the prosecutors had shown
to her—unwarned by the fate which had attended her
husband—would persist in violating the law, the law
must be vindicated.

The libels having been reed,
Mr. Him., in a speech which we regret our inability
to make room fur, addressed the jury on behalf of the
defendant. The learned gentleman adverted strongly to
the destitute situation of Mrs. Carlile, and to the neer,-
sity which haul pelted her to earn bread for herself
and for her children by carrying on, as well as she
cold, the trade of her husband. He declared that,
personally, the defendant professed none of the doctrines
inculcated in the books which she hail sold; and main-
tained that the cause of Christianity was hurt, not
aided, by prosecutions like that which was maintained
against his client.
Mr. Justice Itrsr, in charging the jury, observed upon
the very able and judicious address which had been
offered to them by the counsel for the defendant. His
Lordship admitted the painful nature of the daty which
was east upon the Court and upon the jury ; but, while
he deeply regretted the situation of the defendant, he
could not but be astonished at seeing a woman stand
forward as the opponent of that system from which
every thing valuable to woman was derived. It was
strange to see a woman forgetting that before Chris-
tianity prevailed her sex had been hnt slaves to the
passions of their masters; that Christianity had raised
her at least to a level with man—had made her his com-
panion and his equal iu this world, and the joint par-
taker of his hopes in the nest. Of the libellous nature
of the publication charged his lordship haul no doubt.
The jury, without retiring, found the defendant—

DICKASSON n. floason.•—This was an action arising
out of an electioneering job ; and the plaintiff, a re-
spectable solicitor, sought to recover from the de-
fendant, a gentleman of fertire residing in Berkeley-
square, HIM fur disbursements On account, and for
personal exertion. Mr. Robson, it appeared, con-
sented, in July. 1818, in am evil hour, to stand third
max for Dover; and was accordingly, in due form,
nominate I, cheered, pillaged, and thrown out. After
a few sla)s' polling, the "independent candidate" de-
clined the contest ; and declining also to pay his at-
tornsy*s bill, the present proceeding was taken against

Mr. T. White, a disinterested gentleman, who, an-
connected Kith the agent, the candidates, or the vo-
ters, took& very active part in the election arrangements,
proved the agency of Mr. Dickenson ; and Mr. Lomas,
a freeman of Dover, who came to London in 1E416, in
search of a candidate of liberal principles, deposed to
the reasonableness ok;he items charged in the account.
No defence bel oitod. the jury found for the plain-

liamllOATIL, OCT. 22, 3 P. 1111.--Abnili In o'clock this
morning it began to blow very hard from S. S. W. which,
at aloe, was accompanied with a heavy rain, and ceased
the vessels lying in the Downs to make for the harbour
—about eleven It increased to a complete hurricaer, and
a great number of vessels, large and small, were endea-
routing to get into the pier for shelter •, many of them
succeeded, 6nt a number got considerably damaged in
the attempt; among the casualties at this distressing
tinie, a large Swedish ship from Stockholm to LiaLoo,
laden with timber, missed the entrance and struck
against the side of the pier, knocked away many vards
of parapet wall, and soon after her masts fell and she
went completely to pieces—it is said three of her crew
drowned—her cargo is now driving on shore in evert
direction. A sloop from Portsmouth to London west oo
shore opposite East Cliff Lodge, with loss of bowserit,
&c. &c—tbe crew are saved. On board this vessel is a
corpse of a Lady on the way to London. A Swedish
sloop was driven on shore near the Bathing-room; of
her crew, consisting of seven, only one wis saved (dm
is gone completely to pieces. Another sloop, with
cargo of brandy, went on shore near the same place, with
loss of mast and bowsprit, and hull watch damaged;
her cargo is now taking out. A brig also misserr the
harbour, and now lies beating outside, considerably
damaged ; her crew got safe on shore. The sloop Xens,
belonging to A berdoverv, is also on shore on the Basi!ing
Sands, with loss of bOwsprit, &c. Upwards of oat,
sail of vessels have taken shelter here to day, no of
which, a large ship, belonging to Baltimore, got safe
into the harbour; a great number of these vessels u,
damaged. The loss of abchors, cables, &c. is Very
great. A boy belonging to the Swedish timber shra
had one of his arms caught by a rope, by which it was
broken, and amputation of the limb was immediately
performed, and it is hoped he will do well. It is hopes-
sible to state as yet, the damage done to the vessels
around here, but, no doubt, it is very considerable. It
was the most severe gale experiencedhere for several
years past. It was high water about half-past eleven,
and spring tide. Several vessels are now making for the
harbour, from the Downs. _ .
