In our paper to day we give an account of the ap pearance in Court of Mary Ann Carlile (whose brother and sister-in-law are at present incarcerated in Dorchester jail) to receive sentence for hating published a blasphemous libel. We have always expressed our abhorrence of the principle which can instigate such publications—we have always con. sidered that while every one is allowed to worship the Deity in his own way, controversy on the sub ject of religion is more likely to do harm than good, and even if we believed that the Christian Faith were ibunded in fable, yet should we doubt whether cr not it might be mercy to the uninformed part of COURSE OF EXCI Amsterdam, 12 15 C.

Navy 111 Ann. 196 ~ti THE NATIONAL REGISTER mankind, to destroy that hope from which they de rive strength of mind to meet the sorrows of this world with fortitude, and to anticipate a happy fu. turity with confidence—under the influence of these feelings it cannot be supposed that we shall be the apologists of this unfortunate, infatuated family, whose perseverance, in the face of that law which they must know has power to ultimately crush them, partakes strongly of madness—but we may ask, is not this sentence most excessive? is it not, in fact, tantamount to one of imprisonment fur life? and that is a sentence which, in even worse times than these, no Judge could yet find an excuse in the books of British law for passing. The Bill of Rights, a main part of that non-de script article which we call OUR CONSTITUTION, declares, " That excessive bail ought not to be required, nor excessive fines imposed; nor cruel and unusual punishments inflicted"--and yet a woman who is not worth five pounds, is sentenced to pay a tine of FIVE HUNDRLD POUNDS, to be imprisoned in Dorckester gaol one year, and at the expiration of that time give sureties for seven years, herself in 10001. and two sureties in 1001. each; and to be imprisoned until such fine is paid and security given. —We do not wish that she should not be restrained from a repetition of her offence, but we regret that her sentence should be of so severe a nature as to excite feelings of a doubtful kind towards the Judges who deliberated upon it, and we fear moreover that by its severity those who have hitherto regarded the infamous activity of this family with unmixed con tempt, will find that feeling converted into one of commisseration and pity—we can most truly declare that it has already worked such a conversion upon us. Another Report of the Recorder of London has been made to his Majesty, and eight offenders against the laws of their country have been ordered to expiate their crimes by MATH, on Wednesday next ! Of these, four are for uttering forgeries of those slovenly notes, which, to the disgrace of Eng land, have for so many years been allowed to court their easy imitation—and the other four are for steal ing—and is there then in the ingenuity of man no power to discover a punishment which might, at all events, leave yet a possibility of reformation— " Unfit to live, they are not fit to die," yet are they doomed to be " sent to their account—no reckoning made—with all their imperfections on their heads.' We have the Divine authority fur visiting murder with death, but we have also the Divine prohibition against punishing with death any other crime, and however terrific may be a criminal information e officio, at the suit of the Attorney General, we hesi tate not to say, boldly, that the human law, which is positively opposed to our Holy Bible, is bad, even though it be inscribed in the boasted Statute Book of the United Kingdom. The party who has per haps been ruined by forgery, or he who has been severely injured by the gross violence of the robber, will exclaim against our feelings of hu manity—will, wc would ask either the one or the other, the hanging the culprit procure the restoration of your property, or apply an efficacious balsam to your wounds? Certainly not ; and if it would, where is the man who would pur chase such indemnity at the price of the offender's blood? As to the effect of example, it really is a theme on which old women only trill enlarge, while it is upt n record that a convict has picked the pocket of a turnkey while he was receiving the tentence cf death, and that while that awful sentence wl:s in progress to execution, even at the foot of the gallows, his heretofore-companions have availed themselves of the bustle caused by his execution to carry on their depredations—that a radical change is wanted in our criminal code, no one with the feelings of christianity will deny, and Heaven will bless that man who has power to accomplish such a change.— Those not possessed of such power can only wAh us ejaculate a prayer for those who effect what we so fcvently wish for. • isuurarow A most respectable meeting was held on Wednesday evening last, in consequence of the general circulation of a handbill, of which the following is a copy : " ISLINGTON Disoensastx.—At a meeting of the Com mittee appointed by a general meeting, held at the Angel, Islington, on the 9Utli October, 1821, to conside► of the hest means of establishing a Dispensary ; it was resolved, —That a general meeting of the Ladies and Gentlemen of Islington, be held at Cauonbnry Tavern, on Wednesday next, the lith instant, at six o'clock (for seven precisely), to receive the Report of the Committee, and adopt such regulations as may best conduce to the int f tne institution. " JOHN TWIOG, Hots. Sec. ..... ..._... _ " Canonbary Tavern, Nov. 7, 1821." At seven o'clock the Committee entered the rows', anJ Mr. Churchwarden TRISTRAM having, been ottani moody called to the chair, that gentlemill expressed nis conviction of the honour that was conferred upon him, assured the meeting of the lively interest he felt for the success of the. institution they were met to establish, and concluded by requesting the Honorary Secretary to read the resolutions by which theConatnittee was constituted, together with the notice of the meeting, of which we have given a oopy—which having been done, the Chairs man of the Committee presented •their Report, which was also read. Its commencement was brief and perspi cuous, and in its conclusion it embodied the whole of the laws and regulations, by which the Committee recommended the charity should be governed. Mr. BARBER (a Surgeon residing in Angel-place, New-road). then rose, and in an able and appropriate speech moved, "'That this meeting do concur in, and adopt, the Report of the Committee." On this motion a conversation of considerable length took place; and a wish having been expressed by a gen tleman present that the rules and regulations should be submitted seriatim to the approval of the meeting, Mr. POLLEN read them through, and with some very trifling verbal alterations, they were agreed to unanimously. Resobitions for electing a Treasurer pro tem. (which election fell without opposition on Mr. Tristram, tile Chairman), and a Provisional Cointnittve (which w..s aiterwards nominate.l), were then proposed, and met with a similar unanimity. NleJourr Pu maw, Jun. was elected Secretary fry. lens. and thanks having teen voted to the Committee !or weir care, assiduity, and attention, in so promptly pre ' paring their report ; and to the Chairman, for his correct and proper conduct in the chair, that gentleman, a'ter making his acknowledgements, took his seat in his cha racter of Treasurer to receive subscriptions, and w great pleasure we perceived him busy till we left the rlom, in receiving subscriptions of all amounts, rout one guinea to twenty. Thus has a foundation been laid of a charity whose benefits will be extensive, undeniable, and self-evident— the industrious mechanic, labouring under the presswe of chronic disease or casual accident, will have the •ItIV:Ir. Cages of the best medical ads ice or surgical oper..oon without being estranged from his beloved family, w:thtett being deprived of the tender ministerings of a fond ‘s- - e and affectionate children, without having his honour,: le pride wounded by the recollection of his having th.en pauperized—we are sure that nothing con:tributes so much to the virtue and happiness of the lower clas, s as to guard against a debaseniem of their spirit, and %vs believe that tile establishment o: the Isli:nnon D:sp •!1- sary will greatly tend, as far as its local influence 5h...1 reach, to this very desirable object. We coo ion close these °bur% at iOIIS without remarking that, to the credit of the Cousin nee who proposed, .z:::1 the Meeting which adopted, the resolution appointiag Provisional Committee—that resolution coot iswttced by declaring, that all Governors, being Clergymen, Dui . RENTING MINISTERS, Medical Practiti.mers, and the Courchwardens for use time being, should ex ojiciu `•:e meml.ers of it .—This proves that absence of all sort of party feeling which we thought we saw in the outset of the business. A private corrrspondent Of BISIA has, through his good timune, got himself into a troublet , orne situation. About two years back he purchased a whole Ticket of Bisit's chief agent ,in Scotland, which came up a £5OOO Prize; since which he has been requested by his uncles, aunts, cousins, bro thers, sisters, friends, &c. to purchase numbers I•Pr them, which is not only attended with trouble, LA expense, as they generally forget to pay the postage ; however, Fortune has continued to smile, as e has purchased part of a .ti 30,000 fur an aunt; •, , art of 15,000 for a sister; part of a £3OOO for oue his maid-servants; and in the present Lottery, i:is cook got part of a RlOOO, and he was very ne.lr having the £30,000 Blsit sold the first day, as ?:e was only two numbers distant.
