The Lord Mayor held a Court of Aldermen; at which Sir W. Curtis moved a loyal Address, to be signed by the Members; and observed, that at a time when the disaffected were raising the standard of sedition and rebellion in the country, it became the duty of the sober-minded and loyal part of the community to declare their abhorrence of the libellous and blasphemous publications with which the country was inundated. The Resolutions were then put and carried, with the dissent of the Aldermen Sir W. Domville, Wood, Thorp, and Waithman.

Thursday, Oct. 14.

The trial of Richard Carlile, bookseller, in Fleet-street, came on this day, in the Court of King's Bench, for republishing Paine's Age of Reason, being a blasphemous attack on the Holy Scriptures. The trial occupied a period of three days; much the greater part of the time was consumed in the defence, the chief object of which was to give currency to the calumnies against the Christian Religion, which he had brought forward in his various publications. The Jury, after retiring half an hour, pronounced the defendant Guilty. This result was anticipated almost with certainty, from the moment that the nature of Mr. Carlile's justification was disclosed, that defence (an undisguised impeachment of the divine autho rity of the Holy Scriptures, and a direct charge of falsehood and immorality against them), was such, as to engage him in an almost uninterrupted altercation with the Bench; and on more than three or four occasions, excited the marked indignation of the Jury. It was gratifying to observe also, that the feeling of disgust excited by this offensive justification was not confined to the Judge and Jury. From the first day the interest which the public appeared to take in this Trial, declined with a rapidity which can be accounted for

only by supposing that the defendant's avowal of gross infidelity, effected a general change in the kind disposition, which in this country is rarely withheld from any one who is the object of a State prosecution.

At nine o'clock on the evening of the 14th, Carlile was arrested at his house in Fleet-street. The officers remained with him all night.

Friday, Oct. 15.

This morning the second Trial of Carlile came on at Guildhall, on an indictment preferred by the Society for the Suppression of Vice, for publishing a profane libel, entitled Palmer's Principles of Nature. Mr. Gurney stated the case, and described the work (which is written by an American) in many parts to exceed for impiety, profaneness, and blasphemy, &c. the writings of Paine, on which the defendant had been already found guilty.—Mr. Carlile took the same line of defence as before, which consisted in showing the diversity of opinions that prevailed on the doctrines of Christianity, and the true interpretation of the Bible. -The Judge shortly summed up; and the Jury, without retiring, found a verdict of Guilty.— Mr. Gurney abandoned the other indict

The Sixth Annual Meeting of the North Eastern Auxiliary Bible Society was held at the London Tavern, Bishopsgate-street. His Royal Highness the Duke of Kent was in the Chair. Several gentlemen condemned the false and infamous doctrines lately attempted to be promulgated, to the prejudice of society, and called upon the meeting to unite in their efforts to frustrate such attempts. A liberal Subscription was then made.

THE DUKE OF RICHMOND.

It is with deep regret we record the death of his Grace Charles fourth Duke of Richmond; and more particularly, from it having been occasioned by that terrific malady, hydrophobia. While at his summer residence at William Henry, before he commenced his tour to the Upper Province, he was bitten by a tame fox*, which shortly after died of the malady. No symptoms, however, appeared for nearly forty days after the circumstance, when his Grace having to walk thirty miles in excessive hot weather, where no road for a horse had been made, he found himself affected.

His Grace left Kingston Aug. 20, and arrived at Perth on the evening of the following day. On the 24th he resumed his journey for the Richmond settlement at the confluence of the Rideau and Ottawa rivers, and, as we before intimated, proceeded on foot over a rugged country of 30 miles, accompanied by Lieut.-col. Cockburn. His Grace was much overcome by fatigue, and passed a restless night. On the 25th he arrived within three miles of Richmond, where he rested well, and walked to the settlement in the morning. While here, he expressed considerable relief, and attributed his healthy sensations to his laborious exercise. In a few hours, however, he again complained of a returning illness, but passed the next night with so much composure, that he continned his journey at 5 o'clock on the 27th. He had walked but three miles, when his symptoms returned with increasing violence; and he was conveyed by his attendants to a barn, where he remained till 7 o'clock in the evening, when he was removed to a neighbouring house, and there expired at 8 o'clock on the morning of the 28th of August.

The body of his Grace was conveyed to Montreal by water, and was deposited at the Government-house; and from thence was removed in the steam-boat Malsham, to Quebec. His remains were followed to the river by eight or ten thousand mourn

ers.

On the 2d of September it was conveyed to the Chateau of St. Louis, attended by the hon. members of the Legislative and Executive Councils, the Chief-Justice, the Bishop of Quebec and clergy, and the whole of the officers of the Staff, escorted by 6 field-pieces, and a guard of honour. His Grace's remains

* In a more recent account, it is stated to have been by a lap-dog; but we shall have again occasion to refer to this melancholy circumstance.

GENT. MAG. October, 1819.

lay in state until the 4th Sept. when they were removed to the place of interment in the Cathedral Church at Quebec, in grand military procession, attended by all the principal persons attached to the public, military, and civil departments. The Hon. Duchesnay. the Hon. H. Percival, the Hon. Justice Powell, Lieut..col. Harvey of the forces, Lieut.-col. Cockburn, and Col. Wilson, Commandant of the garrison, officiated as the pall-bearers. The mourners were, Major Macleod, his Grace's relative, Sir Charles Saxton, Lieut.col. Ready, Private Secretary, and Major Bowles, Military Secretary.

The death of his Grace was felt by the inhabitants of Canada as a sensible calamity; for his Grace's benevolent and ingenuous disposition had endeared him to the people, and the general tone and character of his administration met with the cordial concurrence of those who were best capable of appreciating its effects.

The Quebec papers state: "From the system which his Grace has pursued since his arrival, there can be no doubt of his ardent desire to elevate these colonies to a rank worthy his great ambition. To agriculture he has given an additional impulse by his liberal patronage, aud cooperation with existing societies: the husbandman is now pursuing his art with the zeal of an impatient rival ; what was before a dull and laborious routine of unproductive duties, has now become the pleasing and lucrative employment of Jaudable competition. Canals have been projected, and were already in progress, under the auspices of this great man; and there can be little doubt of his intention to have intersected the whole country, and improved the advantages which nature has bestowed with a bountiful liberality. While thus employed in laying the basis for an elegant superstructure, he has been diligent in adopting the necessary precautions to secure it from the grasp of omni-voracious ambition. The various fortifications which border its threshold already bid defiance' to the most determined aggressor; and while happiness is smiling within, she enjoys the peaceful repose of conscious security. His benevolence was an object of general admiration, and his amiable en-dowments and conciliating manners had endeared him to his family and friends."

The Montreal Herald contains the fol-' lowing remarks: "In public life he was steady, firm, and decisive in his measures. He was accessible to all who chose to prefer their complaints to him: and when he was compelled to refuse

their
